Legend has it that, long, long ago, there was a Daoist named Qing Yangzi between heaven and earth.
He firmly believed that the origin of animals was much older than that of humans.
He thought that humans were nothing but evolved from some kind of animal.
Apart from differences in thought and intelligence, humans were merely a higher form of animal.
When the epoch began and the era of cultivation dawned, the human race had martial artists while the Beast Race had monster beasts.
The biggest difference between martial artists and monster beasts lay in the fact that humans cultivated much faster, nearly at double the speed of monster beasts.
Yet the strength of the Monster Race was in their inherently powerful bodies, such that martial artists of the same realm found it hard to break through their defenses, making them almost no match for monster beasts.
