Background / History

Ancient era and decline

Ancient humanity was a major cosmic civilization whose branches spread across multiple starfields. As humanity expanded through the Ancient Land, Boundary Breaking Mountain separated its populations into distinct territories and branches, each eventually developing its own ruler and protector. 219 406

At its height, humanity possessed advanced cultivation systems, Spirit Arts, Rune Art, Time Dragon Bones, and powerful military forces such as the Seven Armies. Its later civilization was devastated by the Shrieking Dragon calamity, leaving scattered ruins, sealed relics, and remnant souls such as Dongfang Ji. 257

Humanity's ancient bloodline was considered weak for the Path of Evolution. Rather than depend on bloodline advancement, ancient humans developed cultivation techniques and Spirit Arts as their primary path to power. 375

After the collapse, humanity fell from a Level Four civilization to a Level One civilization in the barren frontier of the universe. Its cultivation environment became so poor that Star Envoys could no longer emerge, while Innate Practitioners were once revered as godlike figures. 257

Survivors gradually reconstructed their cultivation system by excavating and deciphering ancient ruins. The Blood Burning Methods used in the modern era originated from these recovered human inheritances, while Hong Guang later founded the Martial Ancestor Sect and helped establish structured realms such as body tempering, blood ignition, and qi circulation. 86 257

Tailless Bird Star System

Humanity inhabited seven planets within its original star system, with Blue Star as its largest human world. Its societies included major nations, martial sects, religious orders, tribes, and aristocratic families. 7 155

Interplanetary travel relied on Magnetic Separation Gates because deathly aura made ordinary travel through space hazardous. Martial arts gyms also served as local security providers, accepting paid commissions from civilians when state governance proved ineffective. 7

Humanity defeated the Lion-Eagle Alien Race during the final crisis of the Tailless Bird Star System. After Wang Yu's intervention, the Lion-Eagles ceased to be a meaningful threat, and humanity became the system's final ruler shortly before the system's expected extinction. 213

The Human Emperor and other leaders used the remaining time to occupy Hidden Stars, develop interstellar travel, and seek a route out of the dying system. 216

Migration and reunification

An initial group of human experts traveled through space aboard the Time Dragon Bone, carrying cultivators, Rune Masters, physicians, alchemists, and other specialists needed to establish a new civilization. 218

The pioneers settled in the Lightless Greater Star System's Avicin Realm, where they began constructing an Underground City due to the barren surface and danger from Rotten Ones. Rune stones brought light to the formerly pitch-black region, while rune arrays made the underground settlement viable. 234 236 257

Humanity later returned to Blue Star and transported approximately 6.5 billion people through the Time Dragon Bone. Their reunification ended the Blue Star Calendar and began the Human New Era. 286 287

Society and Governance

Human New Era administration

Humanity's central institutions were established after the great migration. National rulers and faction leaders retained authority within their own groups but were subject to central directives from humanity's strongest leaders. 287

Institution Function
Elder Council Highest authority of judgment, initially composed of the Human Emperor, Divine Shaman, and the earliest generation of Star Envoys. 287
Human Grand Council Assembly of national rulers and major faction leaders; reports development, resolves disputes, and receives future directives. 287
Human Joint Code Unified legal framework established to maintain public order and govern humanity's affairs. 287
Rune Department and Pill Department Research institutions that gather specialist talent for technological and alchemical development. 287

Settlements

  • Underground City — Humanity's first major settlement in the Avicin Realm; eventually expanded to multiple underground levels under a Level Seven defensive rune array. 258
  • Human Castle — Surface fortress and commercial bridgehead above the Underground City; its core district contains vital supplies and the connection below. 278 279
  • Eleven satellite cities — Major cities surrounding Human Castle, built to relieve population pressure and support surface resettlement. 302
  • Tianhan Star — A Hidden Star in the Cold Light Star System selected as a more resource-rich and energy-dense future foundation for humanity. 314 322

Humanity permits aliens to become permanent residents in its territory if they obey human law, accept human culture, and comply with human policies. 302

Technology and Development

Rune Art

Rune Art is the foundation of humanity's modern development. It supports underground construction, defensive formations, weapons, armor, transport, industrial production, and automated combat forces. 257

Dongfang Ji's return dramatically accelerated human rune research. Under his instruction, humanity advanced beyond its former Level Six limit, first creating a Level Seven defensive array and later developing higher-level runes. 257 258

  • Level Seven Rune equipment — Bright Light Sets can allow True Persons to injure Star Envoys; later improvements let wearers fight Low-level Star Envoys directly. 270 288
  • Level Eight Rune equipment — White Dragon Sets can elevate Heavenly Humans to High-level Star Envoy combat power, though the equipment cannot raise a user beyond the Great Star Envoy level. 320
  • Level Eight Rune “Melt” — Humanity's first Level Eight Rune, successfully tested against a Great Star Envoy-level decayed beast. 306
  • Level Ten Rune “Time-Space” — Humanity's first Level Ten Rune, created for advanced spatial applications and potential super teleportation infrastructure. 416

Rune Puppets

  • Mecha Soldiers — Rune-powered combat puppets used for defense, patrols, and military operations. 276
  • Mecha Generals — Great Star Envoy-level Rune Puppets capable of rivaling experts with seven strands of Cosmic Power; they lack independent thought and obey their controllers absolutely. 276
  • Mech Kings — Super Class Rune Puppets developed as humanity's highest-tier artificial combat force. Their creation allowed humanity to contest valuable territory in the Sky Lake Vast Galaxy. 358 363

Trade and industry

Humanity's major products include rune equipment, pills, Spirit Stone Flying Swords, and rune-based Energy Vehicles. Its medicinal pills are effective on most alien races and became a pillar industry alongside rune products. 279 302

Human Castle's outer city operates as an open commercial district containing shops, exchanges, auction houses, warehouses, plazas, and banquet halls. Its trade network attracted alien groups from across the star domain and generated substantial wealth for human development. 279 281

Military Strength

Humanity combines cultivators, rune-equipped troops, elite armies, automated Rune Puppets, and a small number of exceptional high-level protectors. Its leaders regard continued cultivation and Rune Art development as essential to survival and expansion. 286 320

The Human Emperor's migration-era forces included more than 100,000 Innate Realm experts from the Beichen Empire alone, alongside religious cultivators, tribal warriors, and civilian experts. 195

After resettlement in the Half-Rotating Star Domain, humanity's Heavenly Human population expanded rapidly; more than a thousand were openly estimated to exist within a decade of settlement on Tianhan Star. 324

By the Human New Era, humanity possessed tens of thousands of Star Envoys and had produced Star Spirit Realm powerhouses within barely more than a century of leaving the frontier. 371

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lion-Eagle War

Humanity faced extinction alongside the dying Tailless Bird Star System. Wang Yu's breakthrough and intervention ended the Lion-Eagle invasion, allowing humanity to survive as the system's final ruling race. 201 213

Founding of the Underground City

Human pioneers established themselves in the Avicin Realm, constructed rune-supported underground settlements, and used the region's stronger energy environment to restore cultivation and research. 234 258

Return to the surface

With Bright Light Sets, Mecha Soldiers, and Mecha Generals, humanity built Human Castle as its first major surface stronghold. The castle became both a defensive fortress and a center of trade with alien civilizations. 277 278 279

Great Migration

The Human Emperor brought 6.5 billion people from Blue Star to the new world, formally reuniting humanity and beginning the Human New Era. 285 286 287

Expansion and civilizational conflict

Humanity built satellite cities, accepted selected alien refugees, defended its territory from Sky Lake remnants and Fierce Demons, and gradually expanded into the Sky Lake Vast Galaxy. 295 320 363

Humanity ultimately captured the Crimson Snake Race's ancestral homeland and surrounding territory, increasing its wealth, industrial capacity, and production of Mech Kings. 364

Relationships

  • Wang Yu — Humanity's strongest public figure and primary guardian; his victories repeatedly secure its survival and deter foreign powers. 213 277 322
  • Human Emperor — Principal political and strategic leader; oversees migration, governance, infrastructure, diplomacy, and expansion. 285 287 364
  • Dongfang Ji — Ancient human general and remnant soul whose knowledge of cultivation and Rune Art accelerates humanity's revival. 257
  • Divine Shaman — Leading Rune Master and architect of humanity's Rune Puppet forces, defensive arrays, and high-level rune breakthroughs. 276 416
  • Sha Bone Tribe / Dark Yin Civilization — Important allies and trade partners; their support helped humanity gain a foothold in the Half-Rotating Star Domain. 279 301 363
  • Angel God Clan — Powerful neighboring civilization with ties to humanity; its strength and relationship with humanity influence how openly humanity presents its own power. 322 370
  • Dia Clan and Crimson Snake Race — Major hostile powers that pursued and later invaded humanity; both were deterred after Dongfang Ji repelled their kings. 258 301
  • Other-race refugees — Humanity grants work, shelter, and eventual residency to compliant alien groups displaced by calamity and warfare. 295 302

Trivia

  • Humanity's modern cultivation system is described as a simplified lower-stage version of the system used during its flourishing era. 204
  • Many inhabitants of the Tailless Bird Star System originally believed that they were the universe's only humans. 219
  • An ancient Rune Array concealed humanity's frontier galaxy and slowed the invasion of deathly aura, helping the civilization survive after the Shrieking Dragon calamity. 285
  • In the Half-Rotating Star Domain, humanity became known for unusually detailed rules, standards, street numbering, and commercial organization. 279
