Divine Mirror World/Humans

## Humans

The human race was a highly intelligent life form, just like the nine tribes.

However, they were actually different.

All of the nine tribes were far superior to humans when it came to lifespans, physical bodies, aptitude, and bloodline powers. However, that didn’t mean that humans were weaker than them.

Humans had one advantage over all the nine tribes; the ability to create and invent.

That’s right, humans were extremely creative and were more proficient at using the world around them compared to the nine tribes.

Regardless of whether it was the fields of cultivation, devices, or technological products, humans were able to achieve what the other nine tribes couldn’t. This was something that was exemplified by the humans of Tai Chu Continent.

It wasn’t as if the other tribes didn’t strive to work on those aspects, but humans remained at the very pinnacle of tool refinement and technology. In a battle between cultivators of the same cultivation base, humans would quite often come out on top against members of the nine tribes due to their creations and inventions.

It was exactly because of this that Tina delayed the creation of humans until after the nine tribes had been established in this world. She had to wait until the world was ready before she would create humans.

In her heart, she perhaps also accepted the notion that humans were slightly more intelligent than the other nine tribes.

### **Birth of Humanity**

Just like creating the nine tribes, Tina needed the essence of a human's life to use as a reference to create human beings in this world, so An Lin's blood served as a basis, thus creating an intangible link between these new humans and An Lin.

After everything was prepared Tina managed to create two humans only, as An Lin's level of cultivation limited Tina's power to create more individuals.

However, after a period of incubation, the eggs that gave rise to the first humans of the Divine Mirror World, hatched and from within them emerged a boy and a girl exquisitely beautiful, which looked more like creation artwork.

Tina and An Lin named them Adam and Eve, and as if approving their existence, they received the blessings of this world the moment they were named.

Tina provided them with clothes, imbued with their protective blessing, a fruit orchard so that they could indulge their hunger at any time and implanted in their minds the seed of the Tai Chu language, just like the nine tribes so that there could be a language universal among all highly intelligent life forms.

Adam and Eve were immensely curious about the world around them and treated Qi Lou City as their private playground using everything they found as toys, however they gradually learned to use everything no longer as toys, but as tools.

A few years later they discovered tools called books and a whole new world opened up for them. It was as if they had been in a desert for years and simply stumbled upon an oasis, they became desperate to quench their thirst for knowledge.

They read all kinds of stories and gradually understood the concept of human, and started to question, if they were the only two humans, who were the humans in these stories? However, as they had no answers to this, they threw these questions into the back of their minds and continued to devour more and more knowledge, they read all the literature, science and engineering books, and tried whenever possible to carry out experiments on everything they had learned. and his knowledge grew through his experiences.

However, when Adam found a new book in the Qi Lou City library, called the Kama Sutra, that set a new precedent for human history.

Initially Adam did not know what to think of this book, however when turning the pages a peculiar feeling and an overwhelming curiosity grew inside him, which was shared by Eve, who without knowing why  felt more and more timid.

After browsing the entire book, as good scholars they were, they immediately decided to carry out a practical experiment to consolidate the theoretical knowledge acquired. After a frightening and awkward start, his instincts took over and what followed was a period of vigorous and passionate physical activity. In the end, the two achieved a moment of happiness together, in a manifestation of the joy of putting theoretical knowledge into practice.

After this first successful experiment, they kept their daily routines as before, however they added to this routine the daily practice of this acquired theoretical knowledge. They learned agriculture, as well as the use of fire, which could diversify their diets.

After further research they discovered what the daily practice of theoretical knowledge acquired in the Kama Sutra entailed and became husband and wife. After a while Eve was pregnant and ten months later the first human that was conceived naturally was born in this world. A boy.

Time continued to flash past.

Soon, Eve had given birth to a total of nine children, five of whom were male while the remaining four were female.

After that, Adam and Eve were unable to have any more children no matter how hard they tried.

Tina was not responsible for this. She would love to see Eve conceive more children, but it appeared that this was all pre-ordained by fate.

Their nine children grouped into four pairs of lovers, with one that remained alone.

Later on, Adam found a strange book in a hidden compartment within the library.

There was a line of text on the cover which read: “Shangqing Body-Refinement Mantra”.

After flipping through the book, he was extremely excited. He had found a legendary cultivation method! The cultivation method mentioned in countless books that could allow them to achieve their dao and attain Immortal Ascension!

Thus, humans embarked on the path of cultivation.

### **Worldwide Upgrade and Technological Advancements**

After the worldwide upgrade, the human tribe expanded further to reach over one hundred thousand individuals, in addition to cultivation there were significant advancements in the fields of pill refinement, tool refinement, talisman refinement, and other forms of technology.

This was the main difference between the human race and the nine tribes. Although they were all highly intelligent creatures, the human race developed in a vastly different direction compared to the nine tribes.

The nine tribes were quite powerful from birth and liked to rely on their own strengths for everything. They believed that strengthening oneself was the only way forward, and as such, they were only interested in cultivation, thereby shunning all other aspects of development.

Humans were quite weak from birth, but they knew how to use tools to make themselves stronger. Thus, they were extremely proficient in the use of magic tools, spell formations, talismans, pills, and a whole host of other things to enhance their own strength.

They were making technological developments as well, but at a much slower rate.

However, this was understandable. After all, everyone could become more powerful and extend their lifespans through cultivation, so what was the point of wasting time on researching technology?

Technological advancements could only be made through research and experimentation. It was often the case that countless people had to dedicate their lives to this before any meaningful advancements were made. However, everyone wanted to extend their lifespans, so who would willingly dedicate their lives to research only to pave the way for their successors?

Essentially, the temptation of cultivation urged humans to direct their attention away from technology.

However, there were some special people who loved the sciences and loved to dedicate themselves to research. Some dedicated their whole lives to science, while others cultivated while doing research on the side.

Among these people, the ninth child of Adam and Eve was a perfect representative of this.

That’s right, this was the remainder child who was left out after his brothers and sisters entered into relationships with one another!

He was a man named Seth, and his true love was science, not women!

As the head scientist of Qi Lou City, Seth had already recreated all the scientific inventions detailed in the books of the Qi Lou City Library. Based on those books, he recreated sewing machines, manual printers, gunpowder, alloys, and all manners of chemically engineered products…

In recent years, he had even led the research team in constructing steam-powered vehicles and steam-powered ships, thus advancing the human race to the steampunk era.

### **The Age of Technology**

After Adam and Eve's advance to the Soul Formation Stage, the human race became a real force worthy of recognition, comparable to one of the nine tribes.

There are a total of five Soul Formation Stage cultivators, close to a hundred Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, and millions of Dao Body Stage cultivators.

The main city of the human race is Qi Lou City, and there are seventeen satellite cities aside from that, and they are housing a total population of seven million.

They have progressed to the pinnacle of first-tier human civilization, but still remain in the heat-energy stage. They have started to progress toward the particle-energy civilization, but they are still at the stage where they are only just beginning to discover electrical energy.

However, from an individual perspective, humans were still inferior in power to the nine tribes. However, the overall power of the human race was quite fearsome. With the invention and gradual refinement of gunpowder production over time, humans invented a series of powerful firearms.

High city walls were constructed along with tall buildings, electric lights, phones, all manners of steam-powered inventions, and combustion-powered inventions began to appear as everyone’s life underwent an unimaginable change.

Seth, the ninth son of Adam and Eve who had dedicated his life to science, became the most iconic figure within the human race aside from Adam and Eve themselves.

The reason for this was that the research team he led was responsible for all these groundbreaking technological advancements. Humans began to understand that the power of technology was something worth investing time and energy into!

A craze for new technologies began to sweep through the human race.
