Background and History
Nuwa creates the Human Clan at the foot of Mount Buzhou while seeking the merit needed to attain sainthood. She models 129,600 human prototypes on the Innate Dao Body, using Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Three Lights Divine Water, her Creation Law, and her essence blood to give them life. Unknown to her, Di Jiang places Pangu-lineage essence blood in the first prototype, Huangtian Shi. The merit of the clan's birth enables Nuwa to become a Saint 112 113.
Nuwa moves the newborn clan to a protected settlement on Phoenix Perch Mountain and teaches them immortal cultivation for ten thousand years. Huangtian Shi later spreads the Human Dao Script and Human Martial Dao, giving the clan a means to record knowledge and a practical path for self-defense 113 114 115.
Appearance
Humans are created with Innate Dao Bodies modeled on Pangu's form 112.
- The form has 365 acupuncture points, twelve main meridians, five viscera, and four limbs, each linked in Nuwa's design to patterns of heaven and earth 112.
- The first generation begins with 129,600 members 112.
- Not all later members have the same ancestry: Huangtian Shi carries Ancestral Witch essence, while Taihao's Dragon Clan bloodline gives him a dragon-headed human form 112 172 175.
Cultivation and Inheritances
- Immortal cultivation — Nuwa teaches methods ranging from drawing in spiritual qi and tempering the body to advanced immortal techniques 114.

- Human Dao Script — The writing system lets clanspeople record experience, transmit knowledge, establish rules, and communicate ideas 115.
- Divination and music — After becoming the clan's Sacred Teacher, Fuxi teaches the Primordial Eight Trigrams and eighteen musical instruments 153.
Relationships
- Nuwa — Creator and Holy Mother; she shelters and teaches the first humans, and her position remains tied to their fortune 112 114 153.
- Huangtian Shi — First human and first Human Emperor. His concealed Witch Clan bloodline later divides opinion within the clan 112 172.

Major Arcs
- Southern Wilderness calamity: Demon attacks destroy human cities and kill many clanspeople. Huangtian Shi defeats the three leaders, and the survivors return to Fengqi Mountain. After the calamity, the clan's fortune recovers and its settlements spread across the Primordial World 147 148 153.
- Disputed emperors: Di Jiang appoints Huangtian Shi first Human Emperor despite objections to his Witch Clan blood. Taihao's Dragon Clan lineage also divides the humans, splitting their fortune between supporters of the two rulers 172 175 176.

- Later struggle for independence: Xuanyuan seeks to free Huangtian Shi from Pangu Divine Hall and unseal Jianmu as part of a plan to elevate the Human Clan's authority 643 644.
