At this time, the Human Race was extremely backward when it came to statistics, and had no true method of recordkeeping of its own.

The Human Race used the method of tying knots in ropes to record each day's harvest. But as the tribes grew larger, Fuxi found this method inconvenient, so he invented a set of simple symbols to record major and minor events. Fuxi called them the "Book Contract," which was why later generations also called Fuxi the "Ancestor of Humanity."

At the same time, Fuxi advocated the marriage customs of men betrothing and women marrying, changing marriages between blood relatives into marriages outside the clan. This ended the long-standing situation in which children knew only their mothers and not their fathers.

He also modeled the pottery ocarina, zithers, and other musical instruments after the "Fuxi Qin," composed music and songs, and brought music into people's lives, helping them "cultivate their bodies and regulate their dispositions, returning to their original innocence."

The entirety of the East Victory Divine Continent was under Fuxi's rule. Its territory was so vast that it was difficult to administer, so Fuxi divided the lands under his rule and governed them separately, appointing officials to manage society.

Fuxi also created the calendar, giving people a basis for timing their hunts and preventing them from missing the best hunting seasons.

For countless years, the wisdom and benevolence of the Human Emperor Fuxi had spread throughout the Primordial World. Even in the remote Western Niuhe Continent, Southern Continent, and Northern Julu Continent, legends of the Human Emperor could be found.

The members of the Human Race who had migrated to those harsh lands countless ages ago also yearned for the Central Plains in their hearts and recognized Fuxi as the emperor of the Human Race.
