Background

The Human Race was created by Sage Nüwa, whom early tribes worship as the Holy Mother and protector of humanity. For roughly a century, humans have maintained a foothold in the Great Wilderness under her protection despite their precarious position among powerful beasts and demons 1.

Human communities were dispersed throughout the Great Wilderness Mountains, the Southern Plains, and the shores of the Southern Sea. The Great Wilderness Lord deliberately divided humanity into small tribes to prevent a single calamity from exterminating the entire race; however, this policy left many settlements too weak to survive independently 23 26 31.

When Feng Xu arrives among the Wind-Fire Tribe, its members have no formal language, names, writing system, reliable medicine, or cultivation method. Their existence is shaped by hunger, predation, harsh winters, and dependence on caves or improvised shelters 1 10 16.

Physiology and Innate Traits

The Human Race is physically formidable by ordinary standards, though still vulnerable beside the Demon Race and other Primordial beings.

• Even children possess strength and physical fitness beyond that of adults from Feng Xu’s former world 1.
• Warriors can activate Bloodline Power, enlarging into giants several zhang tall; the Wind-Fire chief can reach ten zhang in battle 1.
• Greater bloodline strength generally produces a larger transformation and greater combat ability at the same realm 21.
• Human bodies possess unusually high compatibility with ferocious-beast bloodlines, allowing them to absorb and fuse suitable bloodline power through the Blood Pool 23.
• Before Feng Xu’s reforms, humans had no systematic cultivation method. Their advancement depended largely on natural growth, making breakthroughs from the Innate Realm to Earth Immortal exceptionally rare 26.
• Individual humans are weaker than major demon races, but organized formations, iron weapons, siege engines, traps, and cooperation can overcome physically superior enemies 17 18 19.

Society and Culture

Names and Writing

Early Human Race communities have neither surnames nor family hierarchy, and many individuals are addressed only through gestures or informal identification 1 42.

Feng Xu introduces personal names, tribal names, surnames, and a written language based partly on Oracle Bone Script. He names the Wind-Fire Tribe’s leaders Feng Sui, Feng Xi, and Feng Ling, then spreads the practice to allied groups such as the Lin, Marsh, Red Iron, Lukun, and Stone Tribes 3 5 10 12 17 35.

• Literacy is taught through daily character lessons, pronunciation practice, copying exercises, and later formal schooling 3 27.
• Feng Yuqi eventually learns more than one thousand characters and becomes a literacy teacher for the wider tribe 33.
• Writing becomes a tool for identity, education, administration, trade, and the spread of cultivation knowledge 5 32.

Settlement and Governance

Human settlements initially consist of caves, tree nests, bamboo rafts, or concealed underground pits, each shaped by local dangers and resources 1 5 10 16.

Under Feng Xu’s direction, the Wind-Fire Tribe develops into a more organized society centered on Vermilion Ridge. Its facilities include residential districts, workshops, warehouses, patrol areas, an academy, communal kitchens, bathhouses, dining halls, and sanitation systems 43.

• The Red Iron Tribe operates as a semi-independent branch settlement under Wind-Fire authority, with production obligations and local leadership assigned to Iron Mountain 12.
• Wild Boar Ridge is developed as a core residential and agricultural center, while the former Wind-Fire site is intended to serve as a trade and reception center 31 33.
• The Stone Tribe is incorporated through a grain-for-salt partnership rather than forced absorption, reflecting Feng Xu’s preference for controlled cooperation over simple dependency 35.

Development and Civilization

Fire, Food, and Medicine

Feng Xu introduces controlled fire to the Wind-Fire Tribe, allowing humans to cook meat, keep warm, and reduce their dependence on raw food. He explicitly teaches that fire belongs to the entire Human Race rather than treating it as private knowledge 2 5.

His emergency surgery on Feng Sui demonstrates that medical knowledge can save lives even with primitive tools. Later developments include herbal medicine, stitched wounds, tendon and plant-fiber thread, tanning, food preservation, and improved winter clothing 2 20 23 24.

Crafts and Industry

• Pottery and bricks — Clay jars, bowls, kilns, brick molds, and large-scale firing improve storage, cooking, and construction 3 4 23.
• Ironworking — The discovery of iron ore leads to furnaces, iron axes, hammers, spears, tools, and the Mountain-Cleaving Axe 11 12.
• Textiles and clothing — Hemp thread, animal hides, needles, and refined garments replace simple hide wrappings and grass skirts 23 24.
• Housing — Humans build elevated bamboo houses, wolf-bone shelters, earthen dwellings, snow walls, and planned settlements suited to local climates 10 22 23 35.
• Transportation — Wooden carts, storage bags, and improved roads reduce the burden of moving ore, food, and trade goods 14 34.
• Weapons — Spears, javelins, bows, crossbows, catapults, trebuchets, armor, shields, and mounted crossbows allow human forces to challenge demon-beast threats 17 18 26 34.

Agriculture and Trade

The discovery and cultivation of rice transform the Human Race’s food security. Feng Xu insists on plowing, transplanting, storage, crop management, and soil recovery instead of simply scattering seeds 32 33.

The Wind-Fire Tribe harvests more than two million jin of rice from over two hundred mu of farmland, creating enough surplus to support population growth and trade with neighboring tribes 34.

• Grain is exchanged for people, maps, salt ore, demon corpses, bloodlines, pottery, iron, and other resources 26 35 43.
• The Lin Tribe trades wilderness maps for bows and limited crossbows, supported by the Eagle King’s aerial reconnaissance 26.
• The Stone Tribe supplies salt ore in return for yearly grain shipments 35.
• Excess grain gives the Wind-Fire Tribe influence while allowing weaker human communities to survive 34.

Cultivation Systems

Bloodline Power

Bloodline Power is the Human Race’s original primary source of combat strength. Users enlarge into giants and gain substantial physical power, though their control and advancement are initially limited 1 21.

The Blood Pool improves this natural potential by combining demon-beast blood, refined essence blood, and medicinal herbs to stabilize bloodline fusion for humans 23 24.

Blood Pool

Feng Xu creates the first Human Race-adapted Blood Pool from Wolf King blood, boar-demon essence blood, and medicinal herbs. It accelerates bloodline cultivation and enables qualified humans to break through to the Earth Immortal realm 23 24.

• It is dangerous; Feng Xu tests it personally before allowing others to enter 23.
• Feng Sui, Feng Xi, Lin Sen, and Iron Mountain each reach Earth Immortal through the system 24 25 27 28.
• The upgraded pool can later accommodate ten simultaneous breakthroughs 43.
• Blood Pools are valuable enough to become a diplomatic resource shared selectively with allied tribes 33 43.

Bloodline Secret Art

The Bloodline Secret Art is Feng Xu’s adaptation of the Witchblood Secret Art. It uses Battle Marks to make cultivation accessible to humans who cannot read cultivation manuals or innate Dao script 32.

• Cultivation-method marks — Enable passive cultivation according to a selected technique.
• Divine-ability marks — May awaken an Innate Divine Ability influenced by the bloodline used.
• Transformation marks — Gradually alter the user toward a ferocious beast’s form, potentially causing partial or complete demonization.
• Each person can use only one type of Battle Mark at a time 32.
• Feng Xu intends to give children foundational Eight-Nine Mystical Art marks from age five, creating a long-term cultivation tradition 32.

Major Conflicts

Wolf Pack War

The Human Race’s allied tribes fight a wolf pack of more than five hundred wolves led by an Earth Immortal Wolf King. Unable to match the pack through individual strength, they rely on trebuchets, fire bombs, javelins, traps, terrain, ambushes, and the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web 17 18 19.

The campaign ends with the Wolf King captured and executed, while the allied tribes divide the wolves’ meat, hides, bones, cubs, and other resources 19 20.

Pig Demon Invasion

A late-Earth-Immortal Pig Demon leads a winter invasion against the Wind-Fire Tribe to avenge its son. The Human Race delays the attacking herd for five days using snow, ice, rolling logs, boulders, attrition, and defensive preparation 27 28.

Feng Sui, Feng Xi, Jiang Ze, Iron Mountain, Lin Sen, Feng Xu, and the Eagle King ultimately cooperate against the Pig Demon. Their rotating attacks, Taiji techniques, and Dharma Treasure support allow them to defeat an enemy whose individual strength far exceeds theirs 29.

The subsequent clearance of Wild Boar Ridge removes a major nearby threat and opens valuable land for settlement, farming, roads, and future expansion 31.

Relationships

• Nüwa — Creator and Holy Mother of the Human Race; early tribes worship her and credit her protection with humanity’s continued survival 1.
• Fuxi — Said to have brought humanity into the Great Wilderness and to watch over the race, though he has not been seen by the local tribes 23.
• Great Wilderness Lord — Ordered the Human Race’s dispersal into many small tribes to preserve its bloodline against total extermination 26 31.
• Wind-Fire Tribe — Feng Xu’s original community and the center of his civilizational, military, agricultural, and cultivation reforms 3 43.
• Lin, Marsh, Red Iron, Lukun, and Stone Tribes — Allied or affiliated human communities connected through trade, education, cultivation opportunities, military support, and settlement-building 12 17 26 35.
• Demon Race — Humanity’s principal external threat in the Great Wilderness, though individual demons such as the Eagle King and Carp King can become conditional allies or protectors 7 10 27.
