Human World: Origin

Before fire had a name, people had already learned to use it to keep warm. This is a prehistoric chronicle from the perspective of ordinary people. There were no emperors or generals, no iron horses, only a young man named Jian Yuan. Starting from learning how to use fire, he walked step by step through the long years of farming, carving jade, smelting copper, building warehouses, and making covenants. He walked through the dry plains, saw his companions die, saw tribes unite and split, and saw Chi You's bronze soldiers and Xuanyuan's ruts rolling over from afar. He was nothing—not a hero, not a leader, not a prophet. He is just a person who finishes his work and passes on what needs to be passed on. But this is how civilization survives. It's not that one person did something great, it's that countless ordinary people passed the fire to the next person in countless ordinary days. The fire is not broken. The fire is still there.
