Chapter 32: The Difficulty of the Human Race

Because of this, after Nuwa exhausted her mind and used many Innate treasures to create the human race, she discovered that the human race she created had many flaws.

Although the human race is born with the body of the Dao, allowing them to cultivate much faster than ordinary monsters, and their understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth is also highly efficient, enabling them to begin cultivating from birth, they have one major disadvantage: their lifespan is far too short.

You must know that in the prehistoric era, those monsters born from heaven and earth had lifespans of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Some beings were born with endless longevity, acquiring immortality the moment they were born.

As for the human race, if their Cultivation Base does not improve, they will die in just a hundred years. Those who live for a thousand years are considered long-lived, and only a handful can survive for ten thousand years.

Proving longevity is even more difficult—it could be considered wishful thinking.

Compared to the beings of other races, the supposed advantage of easier comprehension of the Dao is not worth mentioning at all, because cultivation requires time. The importance of lifespan becomes clear, as without sufficient time, it is impossible to cultivate properly.

Even if other races are not as fast as the human race in the beginning, nor as smart or as quick to understand the Dao of Heaven and Earth, they have the advantage of a long lifespan. Over time, they can easily surpass humans.

Knowledge that cannot be learned in one year can be learned in ten years, or even a hundred years.

For example, a god like Gu Chuan can undergo hundreds of epochs of Closed Door Training.

But for humans, a Closed Door Training lasting a hundred years would result in most of them growing old and dying, making it essentially ineffective.

Before cultivation even begins, human beings will die by the time they are in their seventies or eighties.

It is also because of this that, compared to other monsters, humans are truly not worth mentioning. Even with a bit of talent, their potential for development is limited.

Of course, the most important issue is that Nuwa also wanted to teach the method of cultivation to humans, but she quickly realized that this was impossible. The brain capacity of the first humans was too low.

Even if Nuwa explained her cultivation method, the problem was that she was fluent in the language of the Chaos Demon Gods, a language that these primitive humans could not understand at all.

Even after thousands of years of preaching, humans were still confused and unable to comprehend her teachings.

This situation is similar to how, in modern times, humans are unable to teach cats or dogs human language, no matter how hard they try. The communication gap is simply too vast.

Teaching them basic things like eating, sleeping, and finding a place to relieve themselves is already incredibly difficult.

In terms of IQ and brain capacity, the two parties are on completely different levels, as they are creatures of entirely different kinds.

Therefore, in the presence of great gods like Nuwa, the early humans were no different from beasts.

To put it in perspective, it's like scientists in modern society using cloning and genetic technology to create a special creature resembling a wild animal.

At the beginning, humans were low-level creatures that could not cultivate, had short lifespans, and were akin to beasts. Such creatures were of little value to Nuwa.

Because of this, it is not difficult to understand why, after creating humans, Nuwa abandoned them, leaving them to fend for themselves in the wild.

Humans were seen as failures by Nuwa.

However, even so, the brilliance of the Great God Nuwa provided humans with a significant safety guarantee, preventing other races from harming them. This allowed humans to survive in the prehistoric world.

After all, in the vast prehistoric world, humans were like ants to those monsters—insignificant. Yet, humans stubbornly survived.

After being taught by Saint Daode, humans finally learned the method of longevity, improved their brains, and slowly rose to become the sole protagonists of heaven and earth.

It is likely that when humans were first created, no race could have imagined that such a short-lived species would one day surpass the Witch and Demon races and become the world's dominant species.

It must be acknowledged that Saint Daode has been immensely helpful to the human race. Without his transformation of the god-devil cultivation method into one that humans could practice, the human race would likely have remained a low-level species with a short lifespan.

Even though Saint Daode made such a decision for his own cultivation, it remains an indelible contribution to humanity.

This is why Daode's fate in later generations is so deeply intertwined with that of the human race—more so than with Nuwa. Essentially, Saint Daode is the teacher of the human race, the origin of everything.

Thinking about this, Gu Chuan turned his attention to the cute little Loli.

"Gu Chuan, come out, I have something to ask you."

At this moment, the little Loli placed her hands on her hips, seemingly sensing Gu Chuan's presence, and shouted to the sky.

In fact, after all these years, Gu Chuan had exchanged much with the World Tree, and they were very familiar with each other—like friends. This erased the strangeness that existed in the beginning.

But after becoming familiar with him, this little Loli, confident that Gu Chuan would not harm her, became even more forward.
