Everyone has been psychologically prepared for this outcome. In the thirty or forty years since the human race appeared on this land, from 3,000 tribesmen to the current 5,000 tribesmen, tribesmen have continued to die due to diseases and attacks by wild beasts.
Otherwise, after four generations of reproduction, the human population has already reached about 10,000, or even more. As for the first generation of humans, there are only a few hundred people left today. The others were killed by wild beasts during hunting, or because of Sick of disease and plague and died.
The wild land is full of dangers, poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, and there are countless dangerous and restricted areas. No one knows when he will die, so he can only cherish the living tribesmen. For the dead tribesmen, they will only be sad for a while, and then continue to reproduce and dedicate themselves to the tribe. everything of.
This is the current situation of the major intelligent races in the barbaric period.
The body of the deceased is buried in the exclusive cemetery next to the tribe and laid to rest. Then, under the leadership of the clan leader "Yuan" and the high priest "Xi", everyone prays for the deceased, hoping that his soul can return to the embrace of "Haotian".
As two perfect creatures carefully created by Mu Yuan, although "Yuan" and "Xi" are already in their fifties and sixties, their physical fitness is still at its peak, so with their huge reputation and power, they naturally become the members of the tribe. The leader and the high priest.
"Haotian" is the supreme belief of the human tribe. Decades ago, "Haotian" created everything in the world and the human race here. He is the creator of everything!
So if their souls can return to the embrace of "Haotian" after death, that would be the highest honor.
In this wild world, almost all intelligent races have their own beliefs and "heaven" or "gods" they believe in. Of course, different races have different names for "heaven".
As for why the human race calls the Creator "Haotian", maybe it's because he senses Mu Yuan's subconscious...
Deep in the tribe, at the entrance of a cave by the waterfall, a statue about several feet tall and full of sacred aura is located on a rock altar. This is the first generation of humans to have a relationship with "Haotian" based on what they saw from the back and their own understanding of "Haotian". Carved from the imagination of "Haotian".
A bonfire is burning brightly. The fire dispels the darkness, brings light to the tribe, and deters predators in the wilderness. It is the hope of the human tribe.
"Xi" led all the people to lie down devoutly in front of the bonfire, worshiping the statue of "Haotian". At the foot of the statue were several unconscious ferocious beasts from hunting, including clouded leopards, black bears, and so on.
After giving an order, the human man standing next to the beasts held a sharpened stone knife or bone knife and cut off the beast's head with one knife. The hot blood was sprinkled on the ground, and then the head was respectfully placed at the foot of the statue. Worship the statue of Haotian.
Then the high priest "Xi" led several female priests to dance a wild sacrificial dance around the bonfire. She sang sacrificial words praising and praying to "Haotian", praising Him for giving the human race a place to live and abundant food. , praying to "Haotian" to allow the tribe to obtain more food tomorrow, so that the human race can continue to thrive...
Waiting for the completion of the sacrificial ceremony, the human tribe, men, women, old and young, all sat around the bonfire, slaughtering wild beasts, grilling meat, laughing, singing and dancing. This moment was the happiest moment of the day for the human tribe.
…
Mu Yuan's will enveloped the entire Yuan Realm, observing the various intelligent races struggling hard on the wild land for their own survival and for the reproduction of the race.
He had observed them building houses, making crude animal skin clothing, and making crude weapons and tools;
He had seen them hunting wild beasts, gathering wild fruits, and cutting down trees in raging storms;
They fought with wild beasts in the wild forests, died painfully of diseases, and rejoiced at the birth of their 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 the light in the darkness, the first time actively drilling wood to start a fire and raising the fire...
The major intelligent races explore the world in blood and corpses, dedicating themselves to the reproduction of the race; the fire of civilization shines on this land with light and heat, taking the civilization of Yuanjie Continent to a new level.
The Elf Clan's Starry Forest, the Sea Clan's Thousand Star Islands, the Feather Clan's Fuyun Mountains, the Rock Clan's Stone Forest, the Human Clan's Tianyuan Valley...
Various races are distributed throughout the Yuan Realm, and each race is thousands or even thousands of miles away! For hundreds of years, each tribe could only explore, hunt wild beasts, and thrive near their ancestral lands.
In addition, Mu Yuan sent a source of energy converted into the world crystal wall by absorbing the air of nothingness into the mainland, causing the Yuan Realm to expand in area every moment. This also increased the time for various races to meet each other infinitely, and the opportunities were also greater. Small…
As the population continued to increase, the prey in Tianyuan Valley and the surrounding areas was no longer enough to sustain the huge human population. Therefore, the human tribe continued to split over the past few hundred years, dividing into five tribes and migrating to the surrounding areas.
In the first hundred years, when the population of the human race reached 10,000, the first warrior of the human race at that time, "Mang", led thousands of human race members to the west. Finally, an area of tens of square kilometers was discovered on the edge of the Tianshan Mountains a hundred miles away from Tianyuan Valley. basin.
There is abundant water here, rich species, and countless wild animals, which are enough to support tens of thousands of people. It is the best choice for establishing a new tribe;
In the following hundreds of years, people continued to lead the human race to open up new territories in various 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 cannot develop much civilization 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 beasts 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 area in the northwest 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.
And 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!
