When Hongmeng first emerged, heaven and earth were born, along with countless races. At the beginning of the era, humanity was weak and became food for the other races. The Ancestor of Humanity created a system of cultivation for mankind and led humanity into an age of universal cultivation, empowering people to fight the other races. After a bloody struggle, humanity escaped the fate of being prey and finally claimed a place on the grand stage of the Hongmeng races. The Ancestor's great deeds were remembered by humanity and passed down through the generations.
But just as humanity was on the verge of rising, a catastrophe struck. The Ancestor of Humanity mysteriously disappeared, and without his leadership, humanity fell apart into endless factional strife. Seeing that the Ancestor was gone and humanity was in turmoil, the other races once again began slaughtering humans, and the War of Ten Thousand Races erupted. Leaderless, humanity was ultimately oppressed and massacred by a coalition of the other races. Its civilization was destroyed, and it was forced off the grand stage of the races, exiled to the desolate lands of Hongmeng and once again reduced to prey.
Just as humanity was on the verge of despair, a mysterious young man in white rose into the sky and defied the odds. He once again reorganized humanity's cultivation system and led mankind in the struggle against the other races. In the darkness, he repeatedly led humanity back to greatness and onto the stage of the races. But the Heavenly Dao showed no mercy. In the end, the young man in white could not escape the schemes of the hand lurking in the darkness. During a calamity that engulfed all the heavens, he perished together with his enemy. He fell into reincarnation, then returned after the great tribulation of the Reincarnation Era and awakened to his true self. He shattered the darkness and led humanity back to the summit of the Nine Heavens.
