The Way of the Heavens

Everyone had been prepared for this outcome. Since the human race appeared on this land for 30 or 40 years, from 3,000 to the current 5,000, there have been continuous deaths from diseases and attacks by wild beasts.

Otherwise, after four generations of reproduction, the human population would have reached about 10,000, or even more. As for the first generation of humans, there are only a few hundred left now, and the others were killed by wild beasts during hunting or died of diseases and plagues.

The wild land is full of dangers, with poisonous insects and wild beasts everywhere, and countless dangerous places and forbidden areas. No one knows when they will die, so they can only cherish the living tribesmen. For the dead tribesmen, they will only be sad for a while, and then continue to reproduce for the tribe and dedicate everything they have.

This is the current situation of the major intelligent races in the wild period.

The bodies of the dead were buried in the exclusive cemetery next to the tribe, and then everyone, under the leadership of the tribe leader "Yuan" and the high priest "Xi", prayed for the dead, wishing that their souls could return to the embrace of "Haotian".

As two perfect creatures carefully created by Mu Yuan, "Yuan" and "Xi" are already in their fifties or sixties, but their physical fitness is still at its peak, so they naturally become the leaders and high priests of the tribe with great prestige and power.

"Haotian" is the supreme belief of the human tribe. Decades ago, "Haotian" created the heaven and earth and all things here, created the human race, and is the creator of everything!

So if their souls can return to the embrace of "Haotian" after their death, it is the most supreme honor.

In this wild world, almost all intelligent races have their own beliefs, and their own "heaven" or "gods". Of course, different races have different names for "heaven".

As for why the human race calls the creator "Haotian", perhaps it is because they can sense Mu Yuan's subconsciousness in the dark...

Deep in the tribe, at the entrance of a cave beside a waterfall, a statue of a god several feet high and full of sacred atmosphere sits on a rock altar. This is carved by the first generation of the human race based on the back of "Haotian" they saw and their own imagination of "Haotian".

A pile of bonfires is burning. The raging fire dispels the darkness, brings light to the tribe, and shocks the predators in the wilderness. It is the hope of the human tribe.

"Xi" led all the human race to lie devoutly in front of the bonfire and worship the "Haotian" statue. At the feet of the statue were several unconscious ferocious beasts hunted, including clouded leopards, black bears, etc.

At an order, the human men standing next to the beasts, holding sharpened stone knives or bone knives, cut off the heads of the beasts with one knife, and the hot blood was sprinkled on the ground. Then the heads were respectfully placed at the feet of the statue to sacrifice to the Haotian statue.

Then the high priest "Xi" led several priestesses to perform a wild sacrificial dance around the bonfire. She sang sacrificial words praising "Haotian", praising him for giving the human race a place to live and abundant food, and praying for "Haotian" to allow the tribe to obtain more food tomorrow, so that the human race can reproduce and thrive...

Waiting for the sacrificial ceremony to be completed, the human race in the tribe, regardless of gender, age or young, all sat around the bonfire, slaughtered wild animals together, grilled meat, laughed and sang and danced. This moment was the happiest moment of the day for the human tribe.

…

Mu Yuan's will enveloped the entire Yuanjie, observing the various intelligent races struggling hard on the wild land for their own survival and the reproduction of their race.

He had observed them building houses, making simple animal skin clothes, and making crude weapons and tools;

He had seen them hunting wild animals, picking wild fruits, and cutting down trees in the storm;

They fought with wild animals in the wilderness forest, died painfully in illness, and were happy for the birth of newborns;

The awe of seeing the flames on the wood struck by lightning for the first time, the joy of eating cooked food for the first time, the first time seeing light in the darkness, the first time actively drilling wood to start a fire and keep a fire...

The major intelligent races explored this world in blood and corpses, dedicating themselves to the reproduction of the race; the fire of civilization illuminated this land with light and heat, and brought the civilization of the Yuanjie continent to a new level.

The Starry Forest of the Elves, the Thousand Star Islands of the Sea Clan, the Floating Cloud Mountains of the Feather Clan, the Ten Thousand Stone Forests of the Rock Clan, the Tianyuan Valley of the Human Clan...

The various races were distributed throughout the Yuanjie, and each race was thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away! For hundreds of years, the various races could only explore, hunt wild animals, and reproduce near their ancestral lands.

In addition, Mu Yuan sent the original source transformed by the world crystal wall absorbing the air of nothingness to the mainland, making the Yuanjie expand every moment, which also increased the time for the various races to meet infinitely and made the chances even smaller...

With the continuous increase in population, the prey in Tianyuan Valley and its surroundings was no longer enough for the daily consumption of the huge population of the human race, so the human tribe continued to split in the past few hundred years, divided into five tribes, and migrated to the surrounding areas.

In the first hundred years, when the human population reached 10,000, the first warrior of the human race at that time, "Mang", led thousands of human tribes to the west, and finally found a basin with an area of ​​tens of square kilometers on the edge of the Tianshan Mountains a hundred miles away from Tianyuan Valley.

There is abundant water, rich species, and countless wild animals here, which is enough to feed tens of thousands of human races. It is the best choice to establish a new tribe;

In the following hundreds of years, people continued to lead the human race to open up new territories in all directions and establish new human tribes.

Three of the tribes, "Hong", "Yan" and "Xing", were established in Tianxuan Ridge in the east of Tianyuan Valley, Tianwu Forest in the south, and Tianhe Plain in the north, and jointly guarded the human territory with the "Mang" tribe in the west.

In the end, with Tianyuan Valley as the center, dozens of large and small human tribes were located in an area of ​​one or two hundred miles square, and this area completely became the territory of the human race.

Most other races, like the human race, explore and establish new territories around their ancestral land. In the process, the power of the race gradually increases, and their own civilization does not develop vigorously.

Of course, sparsely populated races such as the Giants or elemental races such as the Flame Tribe are affected by their regions and can only be limited to their ancestral lands, and their civilization cannot develop at all.

In addition to opening up new territories and establishing more tribes, each tribe also invented its own ethnic script and language. Tribes also exchanged their needs with each other and began exchanges and trade;

They began to grow food, mulberry and hemp, tame wild animals and raise domestic animals, burn pottery to make sacrificial vessels, and even mine ore to make bronze objects from some bronze veins exposed on the surface.

Many races are slowly transforming from hunting civilization to agricultural civilization, and the fire of civilization spreads throughout the Yuanjie!

Some races even developed their civilization more rapidly due to other reasons, entering city-state civilization and slave civilization, such as the races in the northern part of the mainland.

Nearly half of the northwest area of ​​the continent is occupied by various orc races. When Tiandao Mu Yuan created the orc race, he placed the ancestral lands of each race not far from each other, ranging from hundreds of miles away to thousands of miles away.

With hundreds of years of reproduction, the reproductive capacity is no less than that of the human race. When the various orc races are looking for new tribes, they gradually discover the existence of other orc races.

At first, the orcs were very surprised by the existence of other intelligent races. Without knowing the strength of the other party, both sides were cautious and did not communicate too much, just looking for other places where they could thrive.

However, there are only so many territories and prey. Once you give in, you will put your own people to death. Therefore, in order to compete for more food and living space, the friction and contradictions between the various orc races are getting bigger and bigger, and a war is about to break out!
