Origins and Bloodline

Nuwa created the Primordial Human Race after discovering the extinction of the Five Colors Human Tribe. She used that tribe's bloodline inheritance, Five Colors Divine Soil, Nine Heavens Breath Bag, and Three Lights Divine Water to form more than ten thousand clay figures, then granted them life, Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and the seeds of ultimate emotion. 373

The race was deliberately made physically weak at birth but highly fertile, adaptable, and capable of preserving its inheritance through generations and intermarriage with other races. This inclusivity later allowed the Human Race to gradually incorporate countless external bloodlines without losing its racial identity. 373 785

The Human Race inherited the ancient Five Colors Human Race's Five Elements potential in the form of latent Five Elements Spiritual Roots. Only roughly one in a thousand newborn humans possesses cultivation talent, leaving most humans unable to easily enter cultivation. 770

Relation to Other Human Branches

Branch	Origin and distinction
Five Colors Human Race	An older acquired race descended from Innate Five Elements Gods. Its weak reproduction and limited cultivation potential led to its decline. 250 324
Hua Tian Human Race	Mortal humans generated within Luo Qing's Small Worlds, later integrated with Five Colors Humans in the Hua Tian Universe. 324 325
Primordial Human Race	Nuwa's created race in the Primordial World. It later integrated substantial Hua Tian Human bloodlines, including many of its high-ranking cultivators. 373 780

Despite their shared bloodline and intermingling, the Primordial Heavenly Dao does not recognize the Hua Tian Human Race and Primordial Human Race as the same race. 895

Racial Traits

Trait	Details
Emotional nature	Ultimate emotional enlightenment was embedded in the race's souls, distinguishing humans from the emotionless Innate Divine Beings. 373
High reproduction	Humans reproduce far faster than most Primordial races, allowing their population to expand even when ordinary humans remain vulnerable to the environment and stronger beings. 393 418
Adaptability and integration	Human bloodlines can absorb those of other races while retaining Human inheritance; defeated Southern Territory clans were gradually integrated into the Human Race. 373 781
Weak initial foundation	Most humans are born as frail mortals. Battles between high-level cultivators can destroy entire human settlements through aftershocks alone. 324 393
Destiny-based advancement	Human Destiny enabled several leaders to reach the Quasi-Saint realm, though many of them had limited potential beyond the early or middle Quasi-Saint stages. 822
Incense transformation	After becoming the protagonist race, Human Incense gained spiritual power useful for cultivation, but also increased dependence on the Heavenly Dao. 895

History

Creation and Early Expansion

The first Primordial humans established their tribe at the former site of the Five Colors Human Race near Shouyang Mountain. Their population expanded from ten thousand to hundreds of millions within 100,000 years, sustained by exceptional fertility and adaptability despite their mortal frailty. 374 393

Their importance grew when the Three Pure Ones entered human society seeking their opportunities for Sainthood. This bound the Human Race to Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones through karma, giving the young race the backing of four Sages. 393

Hua Tian Human Race cultivators later entered the Primordial World and recognized the Primordial humans as bloodline kin. Their Primordial Unity Golden Immortals and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals supplied the protection that allowed humanity to expand throughout the Southern Territory and beyond. 418

Survival During the Innate Resurgence

After the fall of the Witch and Demon Clans, Human Fortune briefly surged, but the revival of the Innate Era brought large numbers of Innate Divine Beings who displaced Acquired races from their territories. Yan Tianyu sought Luo Qing's guidance, and humanity began preparing Small Worlds as sanctuaries for its mortal population. 470 471

The Small Worlds were considered safer than the Primordial main plane: they were less suitable for Innate Divine Beings but could sustain ordinary Postnatal humans and serve as training grounds for future Human cultivators. 471

Rise of the Southern Overlord

As the Innate Era declined, Human settlements and cultivation sects flourished around Shouyang Mountain. The race recruited talents through Immortal Sects, cities, tribes, and religious orders while remaining administratively subject to Shouyang Mountain. 752

The Human Race defeated the Heavenly, Feathered, and Purple Blood Clans in the Southern Territory's war for Destiny. Although Human and Barbarian casualties among Immortal Gods exceeded thirty percent, humanity absorbed the defeated clans' territory and became the Southern Territory's dominant Acquired race. 781

Acquired Race Calamity

Yan Tianyu led the Human Race in opening the Calamity with a surprise assault on the Myriad Races Alliance. The Human army annihilated a border force of 20 million Immortal Soldiers and three Quasi-Saints, then seized one-fifth of the alliance's territory. 813

Humanity subsequently occupied the Eastern Territory after the Myriad Immortals Alliance collapsed internally. Its rapid conquests, however, created instability among newly absorbed races and territories. 822 823

The Human Race later allied with the Shi Clan against the Demon Race, launched an army exceeding 100 million Immortal Soldiers toward the Demon ancestral land, and ultimately expanded into former Demon-controlled lands. 851 855 890

Recognition as the Protagonist Race

At the Assembly of Myriad Races on Shouyang Mountain, Yan Tianyu demanded recognition of humanity as the dominant race of heaven and earth. The Witch Clan, Shi Clan, and other Acquired races publicly submitted, transferring portions of their Destiny into Human Destiny. 894

The Heavenly Dao then merged a purple Dao Seal into Human Destiny, confirming humanity as the protagonist race of the Acquired Era. This event dispersed part of the world's Calamity energy and formally ended the struggle for Acquired-race supremacy. 895

Society and Governance

Shouyang Mountain

Shouyang Mountain is the Human Race's ancestral land and primary political center. Human elders, Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and Quasi-Saint leaders were stationed there, while regional sects and Immortal Cities remained subject to its authority. 752

Human Emperor

The Human Emperor governs the Human Dao, encompassing all Acquired races and living beings. The position's authority is second only to the Heavenly Emperor and weakens the Heavenly Court by dividing its control over the Primordial World. 896

Human Emperor	Notes
Yan Tianyu	First Human Emperor; ascended when the Human Emperor Seal formed and reached peak Quasi-Saint cultivation. 896
Jiang Zi	Second Human Emperor; promoted Cangjie's Acquired Script and sought to regulate competing faiths. 1047 1096
Ji Shui	Third Human Emperor; ruled during humanity's longest period of expansion and faced Heavenly Dao pressure against the Human Emperor position. 1219 1282

The growth of Destiny Immortal Dynasties changed Human political organization, replacing the older system centered on tribes and Immortal Cities with competing dynastic powers. 1212

Culture and Institutions

• Acquired Script — Created by Cangjie and promoted by Jiang Zi; it reduced communication barriers between Human settlements and repeatedly strengthened Human Destiny, despite remaining largely inaccessible to lower-class mortals. 1096 1109
• Martial Path — Founded by Zi An amid escalating beast calamities. Its spread gave mortals an alternative to Immortal cultivation but threatened Shouyang Mountain's centralized authority. 1122
• Twelve Zodiac Guardian Gods — Twelve guardian positions that protect humans born under each zodiac sign from external evils, Yin energy, and harm. 900
• Fire Ancestor Cult — A faith centered on Luo Qing as the Fire Ancestor and Human progenitor. Temples spread through Human cities, tribes, and villages under the protection of Yan Tianyu and Hua Tian Peak. 910

Major Challenges

• Innate oppression — Innate Divine Beings repeatedly constrained Human expansion due to humanity's weak innate foundation and shortage of top-level cultivators. 470
• Demon predation — Many demons hunted mortal humans as blood food; this long history contributed to lasting Human-Demon hostility. 813
• Faith wars — Competition between righteous and evil faith gods killed more than 100 million mortal humans and convinced Human leaders that reliance on external religions endangered the race. 993
• Beast calamities — The Spirit Transformation Method produced expanding populations of demon-beasts and fierce beasts, causing persistent mortal casualties and helping spur the rise of the Martial Path. 1113 1117 1118
• Human Emperor Calamity — Martial Dao overlords and Immortal Dynasties fought internally for succession, dividing the Human Race across the Southern, Eastern, and Northern Territories. 1149 1151
• Loss of protagonist status — As the Innate Era returned and Innate Gods began appearing in large numbers, Human Destiny weakened and humanity withdrew much of its population into subsidiary worlds to avoid Chaos God-Demon disasters. 1295

Relationships

• Nuwa — Creator of the Primordial Human Race; regarded humanity as the core of her forces after realizing it could serve as the Three Pure Ones' opportunity for Sainthood. 373 393
• Luo Qing / Fire Ancestor — Bloodline progenitor through the Five Colors Human Race and founder of the Hua Tian Human Race; his lineage supported Human development and spread the Fire Ancestor Cult. 780 910
• Hua Tian Human Race — Closely related human branch whose cultivators reinforced the Primordial Human Race; their bloodlines later merged substantially. 418 780
• Demon Race — Historic rival and predator of mortal humans; the Human Race fought the Demon Race for dominance during the Acquired Race Calamity. 813 855
• Shi Clan — Allied with the Human Race against the Demon Race, though its demands for Central Territory land caused major tension. 851
• Dragon Clan — Supported Ji Shui's Human Emperor bid and later agreed to provide five million cultivators to the Human Race under a formal contract. 1169 1231
• Phoenix Clan — Allied with the Human Race through Ji Shui's marriage arrangement and subsequent political cooperation. 1200 1232
• Immortal Sects and Orthodox Traditions — Numerous sects established branches in Human territory to recruit Human disciples, cultivate talent, and gain access to Human Destiny. 910

Later Development

Following the retreat from the Primordial main plane, Human Immortal Gods descended into lower-dimensional worlds to establish Human regimes, preserve Human culture, and spread cultivation. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors became the basis for Human rule in many of these worlds, while Zi An's Martial Dao spread alongside Immortal traditions. 1410 1411

Humanity came to dominate roughly half of all low-dimensional worlds, while remaining a major competing race in another twenty percent. With Ji Shui, Yan Tianyu, and Human-born Heavenly Emperor Qingfeng attaining Sainthood, the Human Race became one of the Primordial Era's most prosperous clans despite the Innate races retaining the position of greatest overall power. 1411 1527
