Background / History

Nüwa creates the Human Race and attains Sagehood through the resulting merit. Her ascension also reveals that Daochen’s Great Dao oath has secured half of humanity’s fortune for him. Around two thousand years later, humans remain concentrated on the Eastern Seashore and still live primitively; Daochen sends Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao Sisters to them 237 255.

Suirenshi’s invention of fire-making brings immense merit and draws the attention of powerful outsiders. Ancestor Minghe considers spreading the Asura Teaching among humans, but Daochen severely injures his primordial spirit when he probes their territory. At this early stage, Nüwa’s protection remains essential to humanity’s survival 326 389.

During the Tribal-Demon Kalpa, the Witch Clan’s slaughter reduces humanity to only a few million survivors. The race subsequently recuperates on the Eastern Seashore. Rapid reproduction restores its numbers, but restricted territory, dwindling prey, and insufficient strength prevent safe expansion. Daochen deliberately avoids solving every difficulty through the Heavenly Court, believing humans must learn to sustain themselves 466.

The reincarnated Fuxi recovers his cultivation and unites the human tribes with relatively little bloodshed, assisted by established protectors. He takes the titles Human Sovereign and Heavenly Sovereign, while Bai Ze delivers Nüwa’s Kongtong Seal to him. Political unity precedes military strength: the newly united race still struggles against the Primordial World’s older peoples 490.

Humanity Beyond the Primordial World

• Pureblood Human classification: In an unfamiliar technological world, a spaceship system identifies Daochen as an exceptionally strong Pureblood Human and grants him its highest authorization. Daochen and Nüwa do not understand this classification, leaving its relationship to Nüwa’s created humans unresolved 1183.
• External human forces: Liu Yaowen belongs to a Human Race special squad outside the Primordial World. Learning that the Primordial World contains a human branch prompts him to request Special Forces assistance 1661.
• Human-derived populations: Demonfolk, immortal humans, and the Buddha Race are described as evolved forms of humanity. Later explanations also treat the Immortal, Devil, and Buddha races as collective identities based on cultivation paths rather than strictly separate bloodlines 1188 2077.

Organization and Government

Central Province Kingdom

Fuxi initially proposes abolishing separate tribes and gathering humanity into one empire. Tribal leaders resist leaving their homes, so Shennong proposes a compromise: tribes remain geographically dispersed but become lordships owing allegiance, taxes, troops, and resources to the kingdom 591 593.

Institution / Office	Function
Human Sovereign	Supreme leadership of the kingdom; coordinates human development and military campaigns 590 593.
Tribal lordships	Preserve local communities while contributing to the central government 593.
Regional alliance leaders	Shennong, Xuanyuan, Yu the Great, and the Qi Clan receive regional leadership appointments 593.
Star Generals	Sixty-seven commanders, including Qinggan and Zhu Sidan, are appointed to follow Fuxi on campaigns 593.
Nation-Guarding Army	Gathers elites from the tribes into a shared military force 593.
Chancellor	Shennong receives responsibility for the Sacred Land, four cities around the capital, and the Directorate of Education 615.
Sacred Land	Trains elite warriors and receives concentrated resources from the tribes 614 615.
Directorate of Education	Trains warriors and specialists, including Formation Masters, Talisman Masters, and Battle Soul Masters 615.
Intelligence Department	Yu the Great oversees a secret network operating throughout almost all the Ten Thousand Races 615.

Succession and Law

• Succession order: Fuxi names himself the first Heavenly Sovereign, with Shennong to follow and Xuanyuan after him. Later successors may be selected through meritorious service 614.
• Merit-based titles: Fuxi plans noble titles as rewards for service to humanity 590.
• Internal unity: Bai Ze forbids human infighting and the slaughter of fellow humans, warning that violations will be reported to Daochen for punishment 590.
• Tomb prohibition: The Human Sovereign forbids disturbing the dead. Humans who enter tombs in defiance of this order may be punished as traitors 943.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Dao Bodies and Cultivation

Humanity’s innate Dao bodies are particularly suited to cultivation. With diligence, suitable methods, and resources, humans can reach immortality within years or decades 606.

• Aptitude varies: some possess sacred spirit bodies and begin cultivation in the womb, while others progress through perseverance and strong foundations 645 1067.
• New generations can surpass their parents’ strength from birth through prenatal cultivation 642.
• The race rewards realm advancement with resources, supporting continued cultivation rather than leaving successful practitioners without supplies 642.
• Short natural lifespans make advancement important; cultivation compensates for a weakness that distinguishes humans from many long-lived Primordial races 586 591.

Reproduction and Adaptability

Humanity replenishes and expands its population far faster than many established races. Shakyamuni identifies the ability to bear a child each year as a major strategic threat 624.

• Ordinary human generations turn over on roughly a hundred-year cycle, while successful cultivators continue advancing and extending their lives 586.
• Rudimentary intelligence from birth allows humans to develop without the lengthy awakening process required by some other beings 466.
• Population growth eventually makes humanity the Primordial World’s largest race 960.
• Humans adapt to different worlds and circumstances through cultivation, organization, and technological innovation 1188 1436.

Formations

Fuxi turns formation knowledge into a foundation of human civilization, teaching arrays for cultivation, defense, warfare, alchemy, and other activities 512.

• Starry-Sky Five-Element Eight-Trigram Formation: Protects human territory and becomes linked to racial fortune, strengthening and anchoring it 540 590.
• Battle formations: Allow individually weaker humans to resist stronger enemies through coordinated action 491 607 609.
• Spirit-Gathering Formations: Transform mountains, rivers, and the Imperial Palace into high-density cultivation grounds 1067 1069.
• Illusion training formations: Daochen builds vast Mustard Seed Spaces in the human heartland to strengthen willpower. Humanity protects the installations and receives early access 1421.
• Limits: Defensive arrays cannot eliminate shortages of land, food, or cultivation resources; remaining permanently enclosed eventually obstructs growth 569 606.

Fortune Golden Dragon and Human Path

The Fortune Golden Dragon embodies humanity’s collective fortune. Its appearance creates a reinforcing relationship between unity and fortune 535.

• The dragon enables humans to withstand Sage pressure when ascending Mount Sumeru, although doing so consumes fortune 644.
• It is credited with protecting humans from demonic corruption 791.
• The Human Path takes shape through voluntarily shared beliefs, laws, and convictions gathered within racial fortune 907.
• Human Path Sage Positions support advancement in particular fields, as demonstrated by Xuanyuan’s War Sage position 917.
• The position-first method eases advancement but provides weaker foundations than independent attainment; Fuxi later encourages Xuanyuan to pursue an independent breakthrough 917 987 988.
• Human strength and the Human Path reinforce one another, increasing the power of both 1013.
• Fuxi can expend racial fortune to shield Daochen, but sustained enemy attacks threaten to drain that protection 911.

Battle Souls and Soul Arts

Daochen grants qualified deceased humans the opportunity to remain in the mortal realm as battle souls, retaining their memories and protecting descendants or other humans 590.

• Eligibility depends on sufficient Yin Virtue, with registration and verification by the Netherworld Office 590.
• Retained memories preserve cultivation experience and allow past generations to guide the living 590.
• Battle Soul Corps and Battle Soul Masters become specialized parts of human military and educational development 615.
• Netherworld Strange Artisans remain living beings but cultivate soul-control laws, commanding zombies, wandering spirits, and soul-cultivating peoples 605.
• During the Void crisis, humans begin using copied earth souls and illusion techniques to help afflicted beings. Creating a soul copy temporarily damages the helper’s soul 1105.

Warfare and Intelligence

Human armies combine disciplined formations, specialist units, intelligence, and allied elite fighters rather than relying solely on individual cultivation 607 615 728.

• Xuanyuan is ordered to organize one hundred Special Forces squads, each numbering ten thousand, and train them through combat in the Desert Grassland 615.
• Human spies and underground allies provide early warning of hostile movements and help secure the Bat Race’s defection 615.
• Yu the Great’s tribe specializes in water warfare; the Qi Tribe commands beasts and forms contracts with demons 590.
• Humanity’s accumulated combat experience encompasses beasts, demons, witches, heavenly powers, and repeated wars threatening the entire race 1261.
• Shortages of top-tier combatants remain a serious limitation during the Devil invasion, despite the quality of ordinary warriors 728.

Crafts and Technology

Humans preserve cultivation methods and practical experience in books, making durable copies instead of relying exclusively on bloodline inheritance or personal instruction 876.

• Human specialists develop weapon enchantment, reinforcement through laws, and other methods of increasing combat power 1214.
• Less-talented cultivators apply knowledge learned from the Mechanical Race, producing tools and mechanical weapons when senior powerhouses are absent 1436.
• Forging, medicine production, and animal husbandry support wartime logistics; Daochen’s patronage helps cultivate master smiths and medicine makers 1470.
• Advanced crafting benefits from human cultivation, particularly when weapons must incorporate laws that ordinary robots cannot handle 1470.
• Human leadership does not broadly promote bodily mechanical transformation because of concerns about its long-term limits, while acknowledging its usefulness for people with low cultivation potential 1219.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Kongtong Seal — Passed from Nüwa to Fuxi through Bai Ze after human unification 490.
• Xuanyuan Sword — An innate treasure sword wielded by Xuanyuan; becomes a Sage weapon during his War Sage breakthrough 590 917.
• Golden Crow totem — Represents Daochen, receives human homage and faith, and manifests to confront heavenly tribulation clouds 590 598.
• Demon Court supplies — Food, medicines, treasures, and cultivation resources support recovery and development; Bai Ze persuades the departing protectors to leave supplies with Fuxi 551 557 590.
• Energy crystal cores — Rewards from Daochen that accelerate humanity’s growth, especially Xuanyuan’s cultivation 1013 1014.
• Great Void Guardian — Entrusted to Fuxi by Daochen to protect the Primordial World during his absence 1791.

Relationships

Leaders and Protectors

• Fuxi — Unifier, kingdom founder, architect of the Human Path, and humanity’s first Sage 490 593 907.
• Shennong — Administrator and Medicine Sage; later directs the Unification War and humanity’s extermination campaign against the Spirit Race 615 943 954 956.
• Xuanyuan — Principal military commander and War Sage; later becomes central to Fuxi’s hopes for an independently cultivated supreme expert 615 917 988 1013.
• Nüwa — Creator and early protector; her connection to humanity also makes her a target of Hongjun’s hostility 237 389 605.
• Daochen — Patron, adviser, supplier, and object of human faith. Humanity eventually uses its own fortune to defend him 590 907 911.
• Bai Ze — Guardian, formation teacher, crisis manager, and intermediary with Daochen; remains watchful even after withdrawing from public affairs 493 590 656.
• Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao Sisters — Early teachers and defenders who establish educational halls and repeatedly reinforce humanity’s armies 255 569 728.

Allied and Rival Powers

• Demon Race — Daochen-aligned demons supply crucial protection and military support, despite early human conflict with hostile demons 491 655 656 875.
• Bat Race — Becomes an ally after helping rout the anti-human coalition; its defection is supported by human intelligence work 609 614 615.
• Ghost Realm / Netherworld Office — Verifies battle souls and supplies Ghost Soldiers and Battle Soul Corps forces against the Devils 590 784 875.
• Ten Thousand Races Alliance — Begins as an anti-human coalition, later seeks human protection and comes under human leadership; humanity subsequently breaks the alliance pact during its expansion campaign 605 791 875 963.
• Star Race — Moves from rivalry and collusion with the Devils to reconciliation and eventual subordination, with surviving members appointed as Star Officials 784 943.
• Buddhist Sect / Shakyamuni — Opposes human expansion when it threatens sacred lands and religious influence; Shakyamuni later brings alliance elites to assist humanity 609 705.
• Hongjun / Heavenly Dao — Alternately protects, threatens, and negotiates with humanity. Hongjun later claims its rise had his tacit approval and proposes an alliance, unsettling Fuxi 605 911 984.
• Spirit Race — Former coalition partner and major rival; suffers near-destruction after Shennong launches the Unification War 943 954 956 960.
• Devil Race / Luo Hou — Enemy during the Demon Tide and later sponsor of renewed resistance to human supremacy 657 704 960 963.

Expanded-world defense	Humanity receives its own defensive front with mechanical support. Fuxi later helps mediate territorial disputes and administer collective allocation of newly gained lands 1778 1791.
Continued primacy	Humanity remains the foremost race in talent. Daochen anticipates that it may eventually spread throughout the Six Realms, with the Devil Race its most plausible rival 2092.

Culture and Ideology

Human society combines mutual assistance with personal responsibility. Even small tribes maintain their own rules, moral standards, and laws; powerful cultivators rise through collective support and are expected to repay it through service. The Heavenly Dao nevertheless observes persistent internal rivalry beneath this unity, noting that even enemies cooperate when outsiders threaten humanity 876 906.

Fuxi’s vision develops from conquest toward integration. He argues that a lasting Human Path must rest on compassion, tolerance, justice, and order, and that other peoples should be drawn into humanity through culture rather than universally slaughtered. This approach earns humanity a reputation for honoring promises and helping former enemies during the Devil invasion 657 785 790 791.

Later policy sharply contradicts those ideals. During the Two Emperors’ Negotiation, Shennong promises not to exterminate harmless races, yet he subsequently declares that only humanity should remain in the Primordial World and orders the Spirit Race’s total destruction. The resulting war exposes a pursuit of supremacy behind the stated justification of punishing Devil collusion 943 954 956 960.
