Origins and Nature

Lady Nuwa created the Human Race from clay at Mount Buzhou. Their creation introduced reproduction through yin-yang union and womb gestation to the Primordial World, an achievement tied to Nuwa’s attainment of Sainthood and authority over procreation 34.

Although humans descend from a Saint, their bloodlines weaken through successive generations. Jiang Yuan, a thirty-sixth-generation descendant of Ancestor Suiren, was born with so little divinity that he was no different from a mortal; the emergence of such Post-Heaven humans prompted the Primordial World to recognize the Post-Heaven Realm 1.

• The Human Race’s original birthplace is a valley on Mount Buzhou where Nuwa fashioned the first humans 158.
• The first generation included 108 exceptional humans who attained Primordial Unity Golden Immortal rank; their descendants became the basis for the Human Race’s 108 bloodline clans 140.
• Humans lack the natural scales, fur, feathers, and environmental resilience possessed by many other races, making invention and external tools vital to their survival 16.
• The Human Race’s East Sea Coast territory is protected by Nuwa’s prestige, making it a rare safe location for inter-racial exchange 17 20.

Bloodline and Cultivation

The Human Race is considered weak in immediate strength, but not in bloodline. Their source is Lady Nuwa, giving them one of the Primordial World’s most prestigious bloodline origins; only the Pangu-descended Wu Clan is stated to surpass them in this regard 3.

The Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method is unusually suitable for humans because it allows descendants to awaken and return toward powerful ancestral bloodlines. However, it also limits a cultivator’s potential according to the strength of their progenitors 2 3.

Cultivation method	Relevance to the Human Race
Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method	Allows humans to progressively awaken Heavenly Immortal, Human Ancestor, and ultimately Empress Wa bloodlines; strongly favors their Saint-derived ancestry 3 4
Qi Refining Method	Set to replace Blood Refining as the mainstream path because it relies on comprehension and perseverance rather than inherited bloodline; it was created by Saint Taiqing through observing humans 3
Immortal Dao	Converts bloodline vitality into cultivable methods, breaking the monopoly of powerful clans over cultivation resources and allowing all living beings to cultivate primordial qi 10

Awakening powerful bloodlines carries significant costs. It consumes far more resources and makes the Human Race’s Sacred Dao Aura more noticeable, causing foreign races to regard humans as valuable “walking elixirs” capable of improving cultivation when consumed 9 26.

Racial Abilities and Inheritance

Blood Rebirth

Jiang Yuan created Blood Rebirth by transforming refined Innate Runes into major apertures within the human body. This allowed later humans to inherit the technique without undergoing the dangerous process of refining runes directly into their flesh 14.

• Blood Rebirth was branded into the source of the Human Race’s bloodline with Lady Nuwa’s approval, becoming an innate divine ability available to all humans 48.
• Its awakening condition is the opening of all 129,600 acupoints in the body 49.
• Mastery of Blood Rebirth also makes it possible to deduce the complementary divine ability of Myriad Transformations 49.
• Bestowing a race-wide innate ability requires enormous resources; it was feasible because the Human Race was still in its early stage and had a limited population 48.

Torch Succession

Ancestor Sui established a method by which the torch of a fallen human immortal or god is broken into fragments by Human Race destiny and scattered among later generations 8.

• Torch fragments can grant ordinary humans special physiques and greatly improve their efficiency in refining spiritual energy 8.
• The inheritance is random rather than bloodline-dependent, allowing individuals without powerful ancestry to rise 8.
• This system is intended to ensure that the Human Race does not lack future prodigies 8.

Civilization and Institutions

The Human Race treats culture, trade, and law as foundations of collective strength rather than relying solely on individual cultivation.

Development	Effect
Human Script and Spirit Paper	Replaced knot-tying as the primary means of record-keeping, preserved knowledge, and attracted other races to learn the Human Race’s writing system 11 19 20
History of the Human Race	Recorded the race’s origins and experiences for future generations; its completion earned Profound Yellow Merit and gained influence over time 19 20
East Sea trade hub	Used the safety of Nuwa’s territory, Spirit Paper, and Human Script to attract inter-racial trade and sustain development through taxation 17 20
Profound Yellow Grain	A controlled agricultural resource whose restricted seeds ensure other races must return to the Human Race for continued cultivation 33
Three-Chapter Code	Established internal order and was expanded with prohibitions against corruption, deceit, and related abuses 57 58
Fire of Civilization	The visible manifestation of Human Race Luck, produced by increased cohesion and legal order; its power can potentially be bestowed on a clansman for Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal-level combat strength 58

The Human Race openly promoted its script among the myriad races as cultural influence rather than keeping it exclusive. This expanded its reputation and strengthened its destiny 20.

Despite this progress, the Human Race was still considered a weak race because it lacked a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Its prosperity and condensed Luck nevertheless exceeded that of many minor races by the time of the Ancestral City’s rise 39 133.

Ancestral City and Expansion

The Ancestral City is the Human Race’s central metropolis on the East Sea Coast. It is a vast artifact-city assembled from numerous magical artifacts and formations, with the potential to mature into a Post-Heaven Supreme Treasure through continued nourishment by Human Race Luck 133.

• The city supports extensive trade, residential districts, shops, food, clothing, and entertainment for both humans and visiting races 133.
• Its legal and administrative system resolves most disputes, while conflicts that cannot be settled are directed outside the city boundaries 133.
• Its order and prosperity allow its inhabitants to cultivate efficiently despite its worldly atmosphere 133.
• The Human Race’s territory had become overcrowded by the time its population produced over one million Heavenly Immortals, making outward expansion necessary 134 139.

The first major expansion dispatched 100,000 Heavenly Immortal clansmen in 1,000 branches to establish new cities and spread the Human Race across the Primordial World 139 140.

• Each group of one hundred departing clansmen received a High-Grade Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure-level city for defense and settlement 139.
• Each group also received a clone of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror for surveillance, communication, and requests for aid from the Ancestral City 140.
• New settlements must pay tribute to the Ancestral City and retain historical ties to the Human Race 140.
• The Ancestral City sends historians to new cities, while genealogical records determine official membership in the Human Race 139 140.
• The expansion elevated the founding leaders of external settlements to Clan Lords, marking the beginning of the Clan Era 141.

Sacred Sites and Treasures

• Human Creation Pool — A top-grade Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure formed from the pit used by Nuwa during humanity’s creation. It produces Divine Water of Creation, purifies human bloodlines, nurtures exceptional offspring, accumulates Divine Clay of Creation, and can resurrect deceased humans through their recorded imprints 158 159.
• Human Race Birthplace — The Mount Buzhou valley where humanity was created. Its future quality is tied to the Human Race’s strength and it may develop into a major blessed grotto-heaven 158 159.
• Nine Heavens Breathing Soil — A supreme creation treasure connected to the origin of humanity. In Human Race hands, its regenerative capacity and shared origin may eventually allow it to advance into an Innate Supreme Treasure 160.
• Earth Emperor’s Book — A Human Race treasure capable of recording origin marks, life and death, resurrection, and canonization; it is used to record Clan Lords during the Clan Era 141.
• Human Emperor’s Brush — A treasure associated with recording Human Race history and connected to the Human Emperor title Jiang Yuan intends to claim only in the future 19.
• Heavenly Emperor Mirror replicas — Distributed to external settlement groups as tools for communication, monitoring, and emergency assistance 140.

Relationships

• Lady Nuwa — Creator, Holy Mother, and source of the Human Race’s Saint bloodline. Her protection makes the East Sea Coast a secure homeland, while her authority enabled Blood Rebirth to be written into the race’s bloodline 3 17 48.
• Emperor Xi — Nuwa’s brother and a leading figure of the Demon Race. His standing gives the Human Race political protection within the Demon Race, particularly in Azure Heaven 25 26.
• Dragon Race — Long-standing in-laws of the Human Race through generations of intermarriage; they support major Human Race events and participate in nearby trade 60.
• Demon Race — A politically useful but dangerous connection. The Demon Race recruited human prodigies and offered cultivation opportunities, yet many humans who remained outside Azure Heaven faced exclusion, abuse, or death 25 26 82 83.
• Wu Clan — Potential threat due to the Human Race’s growing association with the Demon Race. The Wu Clan’s hostility toward Demon-aligned races places Human Race security at risk 142.
• Ten Thousand Races — Trade partners, learners of Human Script, and participants in the East Sea commercial network. Only roughly a hundred nearby minor tribes were initially connected because long-distance travel remained hazardous 20 60.
