Primordial Wilderness does not remember the year.
I don't know how much time has passed since Nuwa preached on the Wa Huang Palace Kalpa.
Human Race took root in the land of West, like weeds after the spring rain, spreading in all directions at an eye-popping speed.
Fuxi is in charge of Mount Sumeru, nominally looking after Human Race, but in fact he has become the actual leader of Human Race.
He used Bagua deduction skills to teach Human Race how to observe the sky and the earth, seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Zhen is the thunder, Xun is the wind, Kan is the water, Li is the fire, Gen is the mountain, and Dui is the river. The eight hexagrams are Human Race carved on animal bones, on pottery pots, and on the tallest wooden pillar in the center of the settlement.
With the guidance of Bagua, Human Race knows when to sow, when to harvest, when to take shelter from rain, and when to store grain.
They learned to use Bagua to locate directions, learned to use hexagrams to predict Weather, and learned to distinguish safe and dangerous directions in a strange land.
Bagua alone is not enough.
Fuxi also taught Human Race to tie ropes to record events, using ropes of different thicknesses, knots of different sizes, and dyes of different colors to record the number of people in the tribe, the number of prey, and the changes in seasons.
He also taught Human Race how to make fishing nets for fishing, how to sharpen wooden sticks to make simple spears, and how to weave simple armors out of animal skins and vines.
Although these skills are rough, they give Human Race more confidence to survive when facing wild beasts and harsh environments.
Xuande is not idle either.
Every once in a while, he would send named disciples of West down the mountain to teach writing in various tribes.
The simplified characters created by Sanskrit and West were derived from Dao Script but are more understandable. They were carved on wood chips, stone slabs and animal bones by Human Race.
With words, Human Race began to record history, convey messages, and formulate rules.
Those stone slabs engraved with Sanskrit were enshrined in the center of every tribe and became the most important wealth of the tribe.
The open space by the stream at the feet of Mount Sumeru was called "Ancestral Land" by Human Race.
That's where Nuwa Creates Humans is and where Human Race originated.
At first, there were only 365 Innate Human Race and 10,800 Acquired Human Race living here.
But with the expansion of population, Ancestral Land can no longer accommodate everyone.
Human Race began to migrate outward, along rivers, over hills, and across plains in search of new habitats.
Every migration is an adventure.
But Human Race has Bagua of Fuxi to guide the direction, Sanskrit to record the route, and survival skills learned from West's disciples.
Most importantly, they have a quality that is rare among other races, resilience.
Dragon Clan is proud, Phoenix Clan is noble, Kirin Clan is withdrawn, Witch Clan is unruly, Demon Clan is strong.
But Human Race has nothing, so they learn everything and use everything.
They used stones to sharpen tools, animal bones to grind needles and threads, clay to make pottery, and bark to weave clothes.
They use everything that can be used in Primordial Wilderness, never disdain simplicity, and never fear failure.
Gradually, Human Race spread over Primordial Wilderness.
From the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the middle, to the East Sea shore of East, to the edge of Undying Volcano in the south, to the edge of the ice sheet in the north, Human Race tribes can be seen everywhere.
Some tribes fished by the river, some hunted in the mountains and forests, and some cultivated on the plains.
They adapted to local conditions and developed different ways of living in different environments.
What they have in common is that in the center of each tribe there is a wooden pillar engraved with Bagua and Sanskrit, and there is a small altar reserved for the Virgin Nuwa.
Sun Star, Thirty-Three Heavens, Lingxiao Palace.
Dijun stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his hands, looking through the layers of clouds and looking at the densely packed Human Race tribes on the Primordial Wilderness land.
Taiyi stood beside him, Chaos Bell hung on his waist, trembling slightly.
"Human Race, Primordial Wilderness is everywhere." Dijun's voice was calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.
"Faster than expected." Taiyi said.
Dijun did not answer the call.
Of course he knows why Human Race can develop so fast. The power of Protection Edict and Sage of Nuwa is like an invisible barrier, protecting this fragile race.
Who dares to move Human Race within a Kalpa where Nuwa is speaking?
At least not Demon Clan.
Demon Clan established Heavenly Court and ruled Three Realms, with unlimited glory, but Dijun knows better than anyone else that Demon Clan does not have Sage.
After Nuwa attains enlightenment, Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti hold the power of Primordial Violet Qi and may take a step further at any time.
If Demon Clan offends a Sage at this time, the price will be too high.
"Give the order," Dijun turned around and walked back to the palace, "Demon Clan's various ministries adopted a semi-ignorant attitude towards Human Race.
Don't take the initiative to provoke them, don't deliberately get close to them, let them develop on their own. If Demon Clan harms Human Race without any reason, he will be dealt with according to the rules of heaven."
Taiyi nodded and said, "What if Human Race takes the initiative to provoke Demon Clan?"
Dijun said coldly, "Sage only said that "the big bullies the small and attacks without reason." If Human Race takes the initiative to provoke, Demon Clan can fight back.
But remember, be careful and don't let those West talk."
Taiyi followed the order and left.
Dijun sat on Heavenly Emperor's Throne, and his eyes fell on the All-Encompassing Stars Diagram in the center of the hall.
There are 365 main stars and 14,800 secondary stars. The trajectory of each star slowly flows in the picture.
Great Array of the Stars, Demon Clan's clan-suppressing formation. If it can be set up, it can attract the power of All-Encompassing Stars, and it will be powerful enough to compete with Sage.
This is Demon Clan's real trump card, and it is also what he is most concerned about right now.
Human Race?
A mere mortal, even if Nuwa protects it, how big a wave can it make.
Dijun withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the deduction of the star chart.
Buzhou Mountain, Witch Tribe.
Witch Clan's attitude towards Human Race is colder than Demon Clan's.
For most Witch Clan, Human Race is really nothing worth paying attention to.
Witch Clan respects strength, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. This is a creed imprinted in the blood.
Human Race is neither strong Physical Body nor gifted with supernatural powers. In the eyes of the Witch Clan, he is no different from a hare in the forest or a fish in the stream.
Who cares about a bunch of rabbits thriving?
Except Houtu.
Witch Clan of the Houtu Tribe is the only one among the twelve tribes who has contact with Human Race.
As early as the beginning of Nuwa's enlightenment, Houtu sent people to West to express his goodwill towards Human Race to Xuande.
Now Human Race can be found all over Primordial Wilderness, and Houtu Tribe has directly formed a cooperative relationship with Human Race.
On the edge of the Houtu Tribe, there is a quite large Human Race tribe.
Unlike other Witch Tribe, the Witch Clan here does not exclude Human Race, or in other words, they find that Human Race is indeed useful.
Witch Clan is born with supernatural powers, capable of moving mountains and reclaiming seas, and hunting giant beasts, but he knows nothing about delicate work.
They don't know how to weave fishing nets from bark, grind needles and threads from animal bones, carve exquisite patterns on pottery pots, or use carbon ash to draw hundreds of miles of surrounding mountain topography on animal skins.
And Human Race knows these.
Although their strength is small, their hands are extremely dexterous.
They can sew clothes with animal skins hunted by the Witch Clan, build houses with huge trees felled by the Witch Clan, and make pottery with clay collected by the Witch Clan.
An adult Witch Clan can smash boulders with one punch, but he cannot grind animal bones into needles;
A Human Race woman couldn't even hold back a wild deer, but she could sit by the firepit and spend an afternoon grinding the animal bone until it was as smooth as silk.
As a result, cooperation came naturally.
Witch Clan went out hunting, used brute force to fight against giant beasts, and dragged back piles of prey.
Human Race stayed in the tribe, processing animal skins, bones, and meat, and turning the raw materials brought back by the Witch Clan into usable clothes, tools, and food storage.
Witch Clan protects Human Race from foreign enemies; Human Race helps Witch Clan do delicate work that they are not good at.
As time goes by, the trust between the two parties becomes deeper and deeper.
Some Witch Clan even started going out with Human Race.
Witch Clan is responsible for frontal combat, and Human Race is responsible for flank containment, setting traps, and archery cover.
Although this cooperation is still very simple, it has already shown some signs.
The power of the Witch Clan plus the wisdom of Human Race, one plus one is greater than two.
Houtu occasionally visits that tribe in person.
She saw Human Race children playing on the shoulders of the Witch Clan warriors, saw Witch Clan old men taking over newly sewn clothes from the hands of Human Race women, and saw Human Race hunters and Witch Clan warriors sitting side by side eating barbecue.
There is always a faint smile on her face.
This peace was brought about by her own hands.
"Master Houtu," the old man Human Race in the tribe saluted her, "Thank you and your tribe for protecting us."
Houtu looked at him and said softly, "No, it was you who helped Witch Clan."
