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.
