Honghuang: The Human Race Rises, Starting with Sacrificing Merit

Nuwa molded humans from earth. Gu Zhong, the first-born of humanity, awakened his intelligence through a fortuitous opportunity granted by the Heavenly Dao. He showed Nuwa a shortcut to creating humanity and was rewarded with merit. After fusing with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and taking charge of the undying tinder, he gave the human race names and led them in making a living. In the chaotic ancient world, where witches and demons vied for supremacy, he defied fate as a mortal, won the favor of the Heavenly Dao, and led humanity from ignorance to prosperity, ascending to the pinnacle as the Human King.
