Society and Organization

The Human Race is divided among seven great dynasties; the Great Flame Dynasty is only one of them. Its lands also contain numerous martial powers and aristocratic clans whose interests often conflict with one another 152.

• Major powers include the Prison Tiger Bureau, Profound Heart Sect, Star Palace, and Divine Firmament Sect. Several of these organizations guard seals at their sect grounds, limiting how many experts they can deploy in war 360.
• Profound Heart Sect is a foremost Human Race power and leader of the righteous path, possessing extensive cultivation techniques and resources 152.
• Prison Tiger Bureau is one of the Human Race’s foremost powers and repeatedly organizes alliances against external threats 152 507.
• The Counter-God Cult is a concealed Human Race force dedicated to overthrowing the Divine Dynasty. Its members infiltrated the dynasty’s highest ranks, including one of the Eternal God Emperor’s three grand marshals 480.
• Social status remains sharply unequal even during wartime: wealthy refugees can enter cities with servants and valuables, while commoners may lack water, shade, or clothing 55.
• Human Race factions can temporarily set aside grudges against foreign invaders, but many groups still prioritize self-preservation or seek profit from wartime chaos 365 457.
• After the loss of its Wild Continent homeland, the Human Race’s surviving population became centered on the Eternal Divine Dynasty, which coordinated the evacuation of the Heaven-Abandoned Land and more than a dozen great worlds before directing resettlement in the Clear Origin Domain 666 681.
• The dynasty’s Governing Hall restored political and social order after the relocation, while its army secured the Clear Origin Domain and a new Imperial Capital was built in the image of the former one 681.
• The Human Race’s continued survival relies on both military strength and political accommodation: Li Xuancang ordered diplomatic exchanges with established Origin Continent powers while maintaining vigilance toward their motives 681.

Legacy and Opportunities

• The Human Race was once capable of contending with top races such as the Demon Race, although its strength had declined significantly in recent years 479.
• The Prison Tiger Bureau once held a place in the Upper Realm but remained behind to protect Human Race territory; the Profound Heart Sect, Star Palace, and Divine Firmament Sect made the same choice 478.
• As a powerful race, the Human Race possesses ten places for the Heaven Origin Grotto-Heaven. However, it had entered the grotto-heaven only a handful of times over ten thousand years due to its declining strength 479.
• A Human Race settlement in the Heaven-Abandoned Land possesses an unusual cultivation foundation: even its children have Body Tempering Realm cultivation, while most adults are Bone Forging Realm cultivators. The settlement lives beneath an enormous Torch that serves in place of the sun 401.
• The Origin Continent was revealed to be a surviving fragment of the Primordial Realm, the original center of the universe. Its integration into the Primordial Realm exposed the Human Race to vastly denser spiritual energy, greater opportunities, and powers far beyond the Heavenly Human Realm 689 700.
• The Hongmeng Heavenly Court’s nine-rank hierarchy establishes Cave Heaven Realm cultivation as the minimum requirement for even ninth-rank officials, while officials above the third rank are Dao-Integration Realm experts 689.

Military Strength and Cultivation

The Human Race’s military draws from standing armies, forcibly conscripted commoners, and cultivators from sects and local factions 42. Its ability to mobilize is weakened by factional divisions, injuries among senior experts, and the need to protect sealed threats within major sects 360.

Conflict / Period	Documented Strength	Notes
Northern Liang war	13 Divine Repository Realm experts	This was the force the Human Race could gather quickly; the opposing coalition fielded 14 experts at the same realm 371
Defensive battle at the Profound Heart Sect	Slightly over 30 Divine Repository Realm experts	They faced more than 50 Divine Repository Realm experts from the allied Otherworldly Races 473
Blood Race war	6 Dharma Body Realm experts	The Blood Race deployed eight Dharma Body Realm experts, including the Mid-Stage Dharma Body Realm war god Xue Tu 513
Abyss and Grassland crisis	10 Early-Stage Dharma Body Realm experts	Bai Meng, Zhang Chiyuan, Duanmu Qingsong, Supreme Elder Zhou, and six others formed a major Human Race force 536
Abyss-defense buildup	At least two Mid-Stage Dharma Body Realm reinforcements	The High Priestess and Bai Meng respectively reached the Mid-Stage Dharma Body Realm, increasing the race’s senior combat strength 541 542
Barbarian migration campaign	Four Mid-Stage Dharma Body Realm experts	Supreme Elder Liu, the High Priest, Su Xinghai, and Bai Meng gave the Human Race a decisive advantage over the Barbarians 555
Heaven-Abandoned Land total war	More than ten million Origin Continent reinforcements and over 70 Cave Heaven Realm experts	Even this allied force struggled to halt the joint Abyss and Insect Race invasion; the Eternal Divine Dynasty suffered nearly ten million casualties over more than six months of fighting 677

• A Dharma Body Realm cultivator can decide the life or death of an entire race, while a Divine Repository Realm cultivator generally dominates only a single battlefield 476.
• Most factions observe an unwritten rule that Dharma Body Realm cultivators should not lightly slaughter Divine Repository Realm cultivators, preserving the latter as future pillars of their factions 471.
• Before Li Xuancang’s breakthrough, Supreme Elder Liu was publicly regarded as the Human Race’s sole Dharma Body Realm expert 476.
• During the defense of the Heaven-Abandoned Land, Su Xinghai independently stabilized an entire section of the battlefield using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, while Bai Meng used the World-Destroying Mill and overwhelming physical strength to hold another critical sector 677.

Relations

Hongmeng Heavenly Court	Dominant external authority	The Heavenly Court reclaimed the Origin Continent as a Primordial Realm fragment, relocated it into the Primordial Realm, and forcibly seized vast territories from its factions; the Clear Origin Domain was spared through prior negotiations 689 700 701

History

Early Border Wars

The Human Race army defended its passes against a Barbarian force joined by the Demon Race and Demonic Beasts. The enemy breached the pass, forcing brutal close-quarters fighting against a numerically superior force 31 32.

Human Race soldiers achieved several hard-fought victories, including the defeat of Barbarian commander Gu Shuo, but sustained heavy losses. Command failures also proved costly: Zhou Xingzhan fled during a canyon ambush while Zhou Xiong sacrificed himself to delay the enemy 44 50.

Northern Liang Crisis

When the Northern Liang Royal Residence colluded with the Blood Race and Demon Race, Human Race factions formed an allied army to seize Northern Liang before the Blood Race could invade directly 360.

The campaign failed after the allied army was trapped in an Evil Formation and driven back by Blood Race and Demon Race reinforcements. News of the defeat and Northern Liang’s fall caused widespread panic among Human Race civilians 362 363.

The Human Race later committed thirteen Divine Repository Realm experts to a full-scale Northern Liang war. After prolonged fighting and the self-sacrifices of Shen and Chen Supreme Elders, the Human Race reclaimed Northern Liang, but lost more than two million people and two Divine Repository Realm elders 371 389.

Invasions and Near Collapse

The Blood Race, Demon Race, Corpse Demon Sect, Evil Cultivators, Barbarians, and Grassland forces exploited the Human Race’s internal instability. A Blood Race Late-Stage Divine Repository Realm titan destroyed the Human Race army at Northern Liang Pass, killing five Divine Repository Realm experts and more than a million soldiers 457 458.

The collapse forced the Imperial Clan to abandon the Imperial City, while common people fled from the advancing foreign armies 458. Later, the Human Race’s main defensive line fell and surviving factions withdrew toward the Profound Heart Sect to establish a new defense 471.

Li Xuancang’s breakthrough to the Dharma Body Realm reversed this immediate decline. He slew the invading Divine Repository Realm experts, causing the Otherworldly Races to withdraw from Human Race territory in fear 476.

Heaven Origin Grotto-Heaven Massacre

A force of more than ten thousand Human Race cultivators traveled to the Black Heaven Domain for the opening of the Heaven Origin Grotto-Heaven. The Demon Race, Blood Race, Barbarians, and Grassland forces encircled them from four directions 506.

Jian Yun used a life-risking strike to create an escape route, but most of the Human Race force was annihilated before it could enter the grotto-heaven. The massacre triggered outrage throughout Human Race territory and led to preparations for retaliation 506 507.

Blood Race War

After the grotto-heaven massacre, Human Race factions debated retaliation but hesitated over confronting all four hostile powers at once. Li Xuancang identified the Blood Race as the greatest threat and infiltrated Blood Race territory with Su Xinghai 508.

Li Xuancang captured Blood Race Dharma Body Realm expert Xue Cangshan alive, forcing the Human Race to prepare for a major war. The Blood Race demanded Li Xuancang’s surrender, but Human Race factions refused 510 511.

The Human Race fought the Blood Race at Northern Liang. Li Xuancang defeated Xue Tu and seven other Dharma Body Realm experts, but was later injured while resisting the Blood God Hall, the Blood Race’s Holy Artifact 514 516.

Abyss Crisis and Migration

When Demonic Beasts and Abyssal forces reached Human Race territory, the Human Race united to establish a defensive line in Great Gan Dynasty territory. After half a month of fighting, Li Xuancang arrived and saved the surrounded leaders, preventing an immediate collapse 527.

The Human Race defeated the Grassland forces and their Abyssal allies, but the continuing expansion of the Abyss made holding Human Race territory impossible. Li Xuancang ordered civilians to migrate into Barbarian territory to buy time for the race’s survival 536 555.

Meng Haotian later sacrificed himself through the Soul Return to the Torch technique, reversing a great formation so that it suppressed the Abyss and the Counter-God Cult rather than the Human Race. The resulting Human Race counterattack killed Battle Maniac, fifty-four Dharma Body Realm enemies, and countless Divine Repository Realm cultivators 539.

Human Race forces subsequently joined Han Zhenyue’s effort to reclaim Abyss-corrupted land and close an Abyssal Rift. While the Torch cleansed the Dark Land, Li Xuancang protected Han Zhenyue from relentless Demonic Beast assaults until the Abyss Channel was closed; however, the collapse of the Grassland defensive line soon forced the Human Race army to break out of an encirclement and withdraw to its own territory 545 546 548 549.

As the Abyss consumed more territory, the Human Race continued retreating through Barbarian lands. Its original territory eventually fell completely, leaving the race with no further room to retreat 559.

Divine Dynasty Defense and Interworld Migration

Within the Heaven-Abandoned Land, the Eternal God Emperor used his indestructible body to suppress the Abyssal Rift beneath the Imperial Throne for ten thousand years, enduring constant torment rather than abandon the Human Race to destruction 638.

When the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms neared collapse, the Origin Continent agreed to admit the Eternal Divine Dynasty and assigned it the Clear Origin Domain. In return, the dynasty was required to help defend and construct the region’s fortress, cooperate against the wider catastrophe, and refrain from unauthorized aggression 666.

The Abyss and Insect Race later launched a joint invasion of the Heaven-Abandoned Land from opposite directions. Despite more than ten million Origin Continent reinforcements and over seventy Cave Heaven Realm experts, the Eternal Divine Dynasty suffered nearly ten million casualties over more than six months of fighting 677.

Li Xuancang’s victory over the Scarlet Spirit King and other Heavenly Human Realm enemies restored morale, while the God Emperor later destroyed the invading Demonic Beast army and chose to merge his divine soul with the Heaven-Abandoned Land’s Heavenly Dao to continue protecting its people 676 677.

After the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms were destroyed, the Heaven-Abandoned Land survived a year-long void journey under the protection of the God Emperor and the Torch. Upon arriving outside the Origin Continent, the Human Race began transferring into the Clear Origin Domain while the God Emperor prepared to refine the Heaven-Abandoned Land into his Cave Heaven 681.

Origin Expanse Resettlement

Li Xuancang directed the Human Race’s resettlement in the Clear Origin Domain, ordered the army to secure the region, and tasked the Governing Hall with restoring administration. Although many citizens mourned the loss of the Heaven-Abandoned Land, they accepted the construction of a new Imperial Capital modeled on their former one 681.

The God Emperor successfully absorbed the shrinking Heaven-Abandoned Land into his Cave Heaven. The process nearly destroyed his body, but the Indestructible Scripture restored him and enabled him to advance directly to the Late-Heavenly Human Realm; Li Xuancang concealed the breakthrough from outside powers 699.

The Hongmeng Heavenly Court subsequently used the Star Gate to transport the Origin Continent into the Primordial Realm, where it became known as the Origin Expanse. The Clear Origin Domain remained protected from direct Heavenly Court seizure due to earlier political agreements and the efforts of the major factions 700.

The Heavenly Court then ordered other Origin Continent factions to abandon their ancestral lands. When the Star Origin Sect resisted, a Heavenly Human Realm expert killed its leadership and the Heavenly Court army exterminated the entire sect, demonstrating the absolute authority now governing the Human Race’s new world 701.
