Background

Origins and survival

Humanity arose after the decline of the Dragon Race, the rise and replacement of the Ancient Demon Clan, and the ascent of the Demon Barbarians; its emergence marked the beginning of a new era. 470

The Human Race began as one of the physically weakest races in the Myriad Worlds. Humans do not inherit the powerful bloodlines that allow Demon Barbarians to gain strength through ordinary cultivation, and their bodies remain far less resilient than those of demons. 1241 1880 Their advantage is talent, intellect, and the ability to develop varied methods rather than relying on fixed innate arts. 132 2123

Humanity’s development followed a cycle in which agriculture and livestock raising created surplus population, while that population drove further advances in technology, administration, record-keeping, and metalworking. 2488

Refuge and expansion

For much of its history, the Human Race depended on Two Worlds Mountain to resist the Demon Realm. Its inferior population, scholar numbers, and individual strength made open warfare against the Demon Barbarians untenable. 1564 2416

The transformation of the Bloodmang Ancient Land into the Bloodmang Realm created a potential second homeland. Its removal of Bloodmang Power made the realm suitable for large-scale human settlement and gave the race a refuge should Saint Origin Continent fall. 1319

By New Calendar Year 215, Human Race development had accelerated sharply through literary cultivation, institutional reform, and mechanism technology. 3143 3144

Traits and Culture

• Learning and adaptation — Humans adapt more slowly than Demon Barbarians, but once established they multiply rapidly, reshape their environment, and turn accumulated knowledge into lasting advantages. 290
• Planning and systems — Long-term planning is described as a habit formed through hundreds of thousands of years of Human Race development; few other races evolved comparable awareness. 2880
• Moral self-restraint — Ao Qingyue identifies humanity’s sustained effort to uphold benevolence, righteousness, morality, and virtue—even while recognizing its failures—as a defining strength. 1392
• Law and victim protection — Fang Yun characterizes the Human Race as a highly developed “kind race,” whose laws generally prioritize protecting victims and deterring grave crimes. 2585
• Education — The Human Race’s greatest strength is its capacity to learn, study, teach, and pass knowledge to later generations. 1880
• Women’s advancement — Female scholars increase rapidly in later years, while the Heroine Society and related efforts expand women’s participation in Human Race development. 3143
• Language as integration — Teaching Human Race language is treated as essential to integrating reformed Demon Barbarians into the Nu Zhi Tribe. 560

Abilities & Skills

Talent and Literary Arts

Human talent originates from the Literary Star and enables effects that raw physical power cannot easily replicate, including composing poems to pray for rain. 132 252

• Human methods are more varied and adaptable than Demon Barbarian innate demon arts. 132
• Literary Rank grants increasingly numerous and powerful methods, including War Poetry, Literary Platforms, Lip Spears, and Tongue Swords. 1583 1918
• Battle poems can be activated through Sacred Blood, though Literary Platforms require compatible Sacred Blood from sages of the appropriate school. 1907
• The Human Race’s offensive methods are described as more varied than even those of the Emperor Race. 2946

Learning and Knowledge Transmission

Humanity accumulates and improves knowledge across generations rather than depending primarily on inherited bloodline power. 1880 2987

• Collective recitation of the Classics of the Sages can improve memory, strength, mental clarity, Literary Rank, and Literary Guts. 1880
• Human scholars can examine enemy weaknesses, exploit them, and convert small advantages into a decisive tide of victory. 1936
• The Craftsmen School developed new techniques from Fang Yun’s technology, with some later surpassing his own knowledge. 2182
• Abandoning learning is regarded as contrary to the principle through which the Human Race has grown stronger. 2987

Collective Will and Sacred Ways

Under extreme danger, Human Race members can achieve the phenomenon known as “ten thousand hearts becoming one, one heart containing ten thousand.” 1881

• During the Ten Cold Ancient Land migration, seven hundred thousand humans formed a unified will that resisted the instinctive fear normally caused by powerful divine sense. 1881
• Their collective determination subtly pushed aside snow and cold across the entire procession, reducing the burden on hundreds of thousands of people. 1875
• The Human Race’s Sacred Ways can merge, allowing collective power to scale beyond the limits of individual sages. 3351
• The Sea of Sacred Ways contains the accumulated power of countless human sages who entered it at their peak to strengthen the race. 3253

Mechanism Warfare

Mechanism technology compensates for the Human Race’s numerical and physical disadvantages against the Demon Realm. 2416

• Flying Iron Oxen and other mechanisms can repel Demon Kings and Barbarian Kings from city walls. 1560
• Ning’an Workshop technology nearly doubled mechanism production efficiency and increased combat-mechanism destructive power by at least 50%. 2182
• The Power Literary Platform can enhance all Human mechanisms with a red radiance, increasing power by 30% while lowering Literary Qi expenditure. 2675
• Fourth-generation new-style mechanisms allow Human scholars to dominate equal-level Demon Barbarian forces in Ancient Lands without Half-Sages. 3144
• Civilian mechanisms remain difficult to popularize because they require Literary Qi to operate. 3144

Military

• Two Worlds Mountain — Humanity’s critical defensive stronghold against the Demon Realm; without it, the race would be exposed to overwhelming Demon Barbarian numbers. 1564 2416
• Human scholars — Great Scholars and Grand Academicians combine War Poetry, Literary Platforms, Lip Spears, and Tongue Swords in coordinated defenses. 1583
• Craftsmen School — Maintains, repairs, develops, and operates mechanisms during major sieges. 1560
• Ordinary soldiers — The River All Red can raise ordinary soldiers’ bodies to the level of Demon Soldiers, reducing the physical disparity with Barbarian forces. 2017
• War-poem formations — Under a Half-Sage’s influence or powerful expedition poems, ordinary soldiers can receive strength comparable to fighting beside a Half-Sage. 2006
• Strategic resources — Dragonfire War Engines, Dragonthunder War Engines, Sacred Thought Weapons, divine materials, and Gold-Eating Grass offer the Human Race a means to close its equipment gap with the Demon Realm. 2416

Relationships

• Demon Barbarians — Primary long-term enemy. Demon Barbarians possess superior bodies, bloodlines, and numbers, while the Human Race counters through knowledge, teamwork, mechanisms, and varied literary methods. 132 1564 1918
• Dragon Race — A millennium-long alliance whose Dragon Sages hold status equivalent to Human Race Half-Sages under the alliance pact; the relationship is repeatedly strained by Dragon Race pressure and demands. 995 996
• Ancient Demon Clan — A potential ally whose importance is debated against that of the Dragon Race, particularly regarding the Prison-Suppressing Evil Dragon. 996
• Star Demon Barbarians — Cooperated with the Human Race in the Ten Cold Ancient Land, but their leadership abandoned the agreement when humanity appeared vulnerable. Fang Yun later accepts two thousand Star Demon Barbarian soldiers and their families for resettlement on Saint Origin Continent. 1891 1896
• Ice Clan — Opposed Human Race claims in the Ice Ancestor Ruins and feared being surpassed by humanity; later lost access to Frost Lord Imperial Crowns through Fang Yun’s actions. 1865 1952
• Ape Race — Long studied Human Race language, clothing, writing, and examinations. Two Ape Saints eventually join the Human Race, followed by broad Ape Race submission. 3114
• Weapon Race — Settles beside the Dragon Race in Kunlun Ancient Realm under Fang Yun’s broader coalition, becoming a major military reinforcement. 3315
• Emperor Race — Human strategic thought profoundly influences Emperor Race warfare and administration through Fang Yun’s role as instructor and tutor. 2876 2883

Story Role / Major Arcs

Defense of Two Worlds Mountain

The Human Race endures repeated mass sieges at Two Worlds Mountain, where scholars, soldiers, and Craftsmen School mechanisms defend against Demon Kings, Barbarian Kings, and eventually thousands of enemy kings. 1560 1600 Even while suffering devastating casualties, Human Race soldiers and Gray Robes continue to resist rather than abandon the wall. 1601

Ten Cold Ancient Land expedition

Fang Yun leads a migration from Ninth Cold City toward the Ice Emperor Palace. The Human Race survives deep snow, severe cold, Ice Emperor Guards, and hostile races through discipline, study, and collective morale. 1870 1904 1908

The camp’s recitation of the Classics becomes a defining display of Human Race unity, producing widespread advancement and earning the respect of observing Star Demon Barbarian kings. 1880 1881

Rise of mechanism warfare

At Ning’an City and Chuan City, Human mechanisms and Fang Yun’s Literary Platforms turn Demon Barbarian numerical superiority into catastrophic losses. 2059 2675 2676 The Human Race increasingly shifts from desperate defense to technological superiority in equal-level warfare. 3144

Contest for the Myriad Worlds

As the Demon Realm weakens, Human Race victories spread through the Ancient Lands and other races begin treating humanity as a contender for Lord of the Myriad Worlds. 3144

Fang Yun later declares that, excluding Saint Ancestors, the Human Race has become the strongest race. 3195

Dusk Fortress and the Human Race’s Sacred Ways

Human sages who abandoned their former foundation to temper their Literary Guts at Dusk Fortress reveal the depth of humanity’s accumulated sacrifice and power. 3352

Their combined Sacred-Way War Poetry eradicates three thousand Gold Ancestors, demonstrating that Human Race collective literary cultivation can surpass the brute strength of ancient races. 3352
