Background
Humanity was originally a powerful race rather than a peak race. Its first Universe Supreme Being, Yuan Zu, led its rise by traversing the universe, fighting enemies, and expanding its influence until the race became one of the universe’s peak powers. His disciples included the City Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, and Ice Peak Master; Giant Axe Founder also benefited from Yuan Zu’s guidance. 362
Yuan Zu was later suppressed by the Primal Universe’s Origin Will. In the era that followed, Giant Axe Founder carried much of the burden of protecting humanity and restrained his strength in the Universe Ocean to avoid bringing catastrophe upon the race. 420
Humanity’s continued growth was strongly associated with the Virtual Universe and its cultivation institutions. The Virtual Universe Company provides extensive material support to its core geniuses, while Chaos City—jointly managed by five major human organizations—has produced generations of super-powerful beings through cultivation and law comprehension. 53 74
Society and Governance
Territory and Population
- Before its later expansion, humanity possessed 1,008 star sectors, each forming a Universe Country. Border sectors adjoining the Zerg, Monster, and Machine races faced continual conflict. 320
- After the three-race coalition’s defeat, humanity absorbed the former territories of the Monster, Zerg, and Machine races, as well as territories abandoned by numerous weaker races. These lands connected human territory into a far larger continuous region. 494
- Human settlement spread into the new territories on a massive scale; the expected increase in population was projected to multiply the production of elites and geniuses by dozens of times or more. 494
- Humanity later occupied nearly half of the Primal Universe. 497
- “Human” is used broadly in the universe: Qiu Long City contains many strange-looking lifeforms considered cosmic humans from different races. 7
Supreme Council
- The Supreme Council is humanity’s governing body for major racial affairs, including race-war mobilization and military-merit policy. 320 321
- Ordinary humans and Immortals are described as resource users, while powerhouses who enter the Supreme Council become contributors responsible for earning resources and defending the race. 321
- Military merit points can be exchanged for humanity’s resources and treasures, including supreme treasures, heavy treasures, Hunyuan Units, and rare items. 320 321
- The Giant Axe Meeting gathers Universe Masters and the Universe Supreme Being under Giant Axe Founder’s authority. 360
Hong Alliance
- Humanity leads the Hong Alliance, an alliance of humans and numerous other races whose status system is determined by strength and contribution. 229
- Human peak combat power maintains the alliance’s human-led structure despite the far greater number of alien members. 229
- The alliance contains approximately 100,000 human King-level Immortals, more than 3 million alien King-level Immortals, and over a hundred vassal-race Universe Masters. 365
- Vassal races that join the alliance generally bring their entire race and are expected to support the alliance’s interests. 365
Military Doctrine
- Humanity participates in periodic race wars against the Monster, Zerg, and Machine races for ownership of border star sectors. The four races agreed to conduct such wars once every epoch, with ceasefires between wars for recovery. 320
- Race wars serve three purposes: acquiring resources, limiting excess population pressure, and selecting hardened survivors for focused cultivation. 321
- Humanity considers both population and powerhouses essential: population supplies the future pool of geniuses, while powerhouses guarantee the race’s security and continued prosperity. 321
- Its Heart Force inheritance gained strategic importance because Lu Yan'an’s illusion techniques can affect soulless lifeforms, providing a direct countermeasure against the Machine Race. 244 246
Notable Figures
- Yuan Zu — Humanity’s first Universe Supreme Being; transformed the race from a powerful race into a peak race before his suppression. 362 420
- Giant Axe Founder — Humanity’s leading protector after Yuan Zu’s suppression; later reached the ninth tier and secured Supreme True Treasures for the race. 420 454
- City Lord of Chaos — Senior leader who presides over major meetings and directs human strategy alongside Giant Axe Founder. 320 489
- Lu Yan'an / Lord of Heavenly Heart — A pivotal rising powerhouse whose Heart Force techniques, inheritances, and battlefield plans accelerated humanity’s ascent. 372 476 491

Major Arcs
Conflict with the Machine Race
Lu Yan'an’s Heart Force Path was recognized as a major strategic asset because it could affect soulless Machine Race lifeforms. Humanity’s upper echelon negotiated for him to share this inheritance for the race’s external strategy, offering compensation upon his future breakthrough. 244 246
During the territorial conflict with the Machine Race, Lu Yan'an used the Great Freedom Dream Realm to trap Machine Race powerhouses in illusion. Human powerhouses then attacked the incapacitated targets, weakening the enemy’s peak combat strength. The resulting confrontation ended with the Machine Race ceding territory and providing a Peak True Treasure as indemnity. 372 373
Primitive Star War
The Monster, Zerg, and Machine races mobilized their peak forces to assassinate Lu Yan'an on Primitive Star No. 04396. Humanity responded with a coordinated defense led by Giant Axe Founder and the City Lord of Chaos, intending to suppress the enemy’s Universe Supreme Beings while its Universe Masters eliminated the opposing lower-tier forces. 465 471
Giant Axe Founder deployed the domain-type Supreme True Treasure Purple Dream Abyss to confine four enemy Universe Supreme Beings. Fourteen human Universe Masters then entered the battle, divided the alien forces, and hunted them with combined techniques. 472 473
The counter-ambush routed the coalition and led to the suppression of more than forty Universe Masters from the three races. Humanity used the victory to demand territory, reparations in Supreme Treasures, and controlled releases of captured Universe Masters. 483 488 490
The Human Era
The three defeated peak races began large-scale migrations, while weaker races also abandoned or reduced their territories rather than challenge humanity. 491 493 494
Humanity occupied the vacated regions and relocated populations into them, establishing dominance across the Primal Universe. Other Universe Ocean powers concluded that humanity had become effectively invincible within the Primal Universe and avoided provoking it. 494
The Monster, Zerg, and Machine races later founded the Freedom Alliance with displaced races, the Northern Territory Alliance, and the Nine Domains Alliance to counter humanity’s expansion. 497 498
Relationships
- Hong Alliance — Humanity is the alliance’s ruling race, maintaining leadership through superior peak combat power despite the numerical dominance of affiliated alien races. 229 365

- Zerg Race — Rival peak race; joined the coalition against humanity and later helped establish the Freedom Alliance. 465 497 498
- Machine Race — Rival peak race particularly vulnerable to Heart Force techniques that affect soulless lifeforms. 244 246 372
- Freedom Alliance — Coalition formed by humanity’s displaced enemies to resist future human expansion. 497 498
- Two Holy Lands — Universe Ocean powers from which Giant Axe Founder seized two Supreme True Treasures in exchange for the Silk-Pulling Map. 420
