Background / History

Origin

Empress Wa created humanity in the Primordial Taiyi Era while attempting to sculpt a being resembling herself. The first human was weak enough that even a gust of wind could threaten later mud-born humans; humanity’s eventual stature was earned through the struggles of countless generations rather than granted at birth 1639.

After attaining Dao through humanity, Empress Wa imprinted the Human Dao upon the infinite Multiverse. Human beings consequently exist throughout countless worlds, even where other cultivation paths or divine beings do not 1146.

Empress Wa later concealed humanity’s origin to prevent powerful beings from targeting it. Gu Shaoshang identifies the Five-colored Rhomboid Crystal as the hidden origin of the Human Race 1639.

Vast Continent

The earliest recorded Human Race history centers on Human Emperor Xi, who defeated the Cang Race after a war lasting more than 100,000 years. Xi’s victory allowed the Human Race to seize part of the Vast Continent’s authority and establish its enduring destiny 86 730.

The following million-year Archaic Era was the Human Race’s most glorious period. Eight Human Emperors ruled, great dynasties were established, and the Human Race stood as the most honored people beneath heaven 86 600.

After the eight emperors disappeared, the Middle Ancient Era saw peaceful exchange with other races and the emergence of more than a thousand Great Divine Ability Users. Later wars devastated all sides, beginning the Human Race’s decline and enabling the Demon Race to rise under its Emperor 86.

The Human Race survived the Demon Emperor’s ascent through the efforts of the High Priest, the Three Human Sovereigns, and a clan-protecting treasure left by Xi. Their defenses concentrated spiritual energy through a network of giant cities, preventing powerful demons from arising freely within Human Race territory 1052.

Archaic Human Race

In the After Ascension world, the Archaic Human Race initially lacked a Sovereign and struggled against the Demon and Heaven Realms. Unequal treaties restricted its growth, compelled it to serve Demon Realm powerhouses, and required the surrender of souls 801 803.

Wushang challenged the Sovereigns, altered those treaties, and left behind direct martial arts guarded by the Human Race’s Supremes. Following the defeat of invading demons and the expansion of the population, the Archaic Human Race developed an army exceeding 100 million God-level experts 803 819.

Ancestral Star

On Ancestral Star, humans were long enslaved and treated as livestock or food by stronger races. Fu Shang forced divine clans to return human captives, freeing tens or hundreds of millions and restoring a sense of dignity among the human clans 1211 1214.

Fu Shang deliberately left the remaining old Spirits for Zhong Yue and the Human Race to confront. He believed that only war and the blood of enemies could erase the servility left by tens of thousands of years of slavery 1226.

Within ten years, the spread of the Divine Court Suppressing the World Visualization Scroll greatly increased the number of Qi Practitioners. The Human Race became one of Ancestral Star’s overlords, then fought a major war against the Spirit, Demon, Dragon, and other races 1227.

Galaxy Universe

In the Galaxy Universe, the Human Race was a peak race but initially weak in the wider Cosmic Sea. Earth’s martial artists, the Space-time Gate, and supreme treasures supplied by Zuo Shanke accelerated its rise 1148 1162.

The Galaxy Empire fought the Mechanical, Demon, Insect, Crystal, and Zi Yue Sacred Land forces. After the war, humanity reclaimed its territory, expanded its domain several dozen times, and the Galaxy Empire became its leading power across more than a thousand Peak Universe Kingdoms 1160 1164.

Organization and Society

• Human Emperor — The central sovereign of the Vast Human Race. The office carries Human Dao destiny and can draw upon the power of innumerable cities and beings within Divine Wasteland 1062 1502.
• High Priest — The Human Race’s oldest and deepest foundation during its decline; the High Priest wielded most of the authority over the clan-protecting supreme treasure 1078.
• Three Human Sovereigns — The rulers associated with Divine Wasteland, Imperial Wasteland, and Savage Wasteland. Their authority was later consolidated into the Divine Wasteland Imperial Dynasty 1274.
• Kings, Dukes, and Marquises — Holders of portions of Human Race destiny. Their status permits cultivation beyond the Vast Continent’s usual restrictions and access to other realms 1052 1273.
• Ancestor worship — The Vast Human Race worships neither Heaven, Earth, spirits, nor Buddhas; it reveres its ancestors, the Three Human Sovereigns, and the High Priest 1259.

Abilities & Collective Strengths

Human Dao and Destiny Authority

The Human Race’s greatest advantage on the Vast Continent is the destiny authority seized by Xi from the Heavenly Dao.

• Enables the Human Race to recover rapidly after major calamities and periods of decline 730 1619.
• Supports the rise of peerless prodigies even when the race lacks the innate advantages of its rivals 1061.
• Allows Kings and Marquises to leave the Vast Continent and cultivate in other realms without being destroyed by its Great Dao suppression 1273.
• Was ultimately reunited by Wang Yuanshi and merged with the Heavenly Dao, elevating the Human Emperor to Heavenly Emperor 1502 1620.

Adaptability and Cultivation Potential

Humans are not naturally powerful compared with many races. On the Vast Continent, even strong Human Race newborns are generally only at Spirit Condensation, while Heavenly Humans and other races are born at far higher levels 372 494 1273.

• Human strength is built through population, cultivation, martial inheritance, and collective organization rather than innate bloodline superiority 810 819.
• In the Myriad Heavens, ordinary humans can surpass a Demon Race member’s thousand years of cultivation after several decades of practice, reflecting the Human Dao’s influence 1593.
• Human forms became a widespread aesthetic standard only after the Human Race rose as the rulers of all spirits 1586.

Martial Inheritance

The Human Race preserves and transmits powerful martial paths through its sacred institutions.

• The Archaic Human Race Sacred Hall maintains the direct martial arts of Wushang, which may only be taught by a Supreme after inspection 819.
• The Ancestral Star Human Race spread the Divine Court Suppressing the World Visualization Scroll, rapidly multiplying its Qi Practitioners 1227.
• The Vast Human Race’s inheritance includes the Infinite Divine Fist and the accumulated legacies of the Eight Ancient Sovereigns 1273 1258.

Relationships

• Empress Wa — Holy Mother and true Human Ancestor; created humanity and established the Human Dao’s foundation in the infinite Multiverse 1146 1621 1639.
• Xi / Daoist Pei — Early Human Race leader credited with defeating the Cang Race and forging Vast Continent Human Race destiny; later identifies Empress Wa as the true Human Ancestor 86 1619 1621.
• Cang Race — Ancient rival of the Vast Continent Human Race. Xi’s victory over the Cang established humanity’s long-term destiny authority 730 1052.
• Demon Race — Principal rival on the Vast Continent. The Demon Emperor’s rise began the Human Race’s long decline, while the Human Race later restored its supremacy over the Demon Race and other great races 1052 1620.
• Wushang — Archaic Human Race martial figure whose resistance against the Sovereigns improved humanity’s position and whose direct martial arts became a guarded inheritance 803 819.
• Fu Shang — Liberated human captives on Ancestral Star and initiated the Human Race’s recovery from prolonged enslavement 1211 1212.
• Zhong Yue — Led the Ancestral Star Human Race’s independent rise and helped secure its reign after Fu Shang’s departure 1226 1227.
• Wang Yuanshi — Vast Continent Human Emperor who reunited Human Dao destiny and became the Heavenly Emperor 1274 1502.

Notable Quotes

“The Human Race stands across the myriad worlds, absorbing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and is never humble!” 1194

“Those who do not worship the Three Sovereigns, how can they speak of being human?” 1076

Trivia

• In the Galaxy Universe, “Human Race” is used broadly for any humanoid lifeform, including beings with scales, horns, or tails. Gu Shaoshang does not personally accept that definition outside of Earth’s humans 1151.
• The Human Race’s earliest members were not born extraordinary; later claims of inherent supremacy are contrasted with the first humans’ struggle merely to survive 1639.
