Summary

Human Sovereign is a long eastern fantasy novel by the web author Shi Bu Xing, serialized on Qidian starting in March 2013, totaling about 2.1 million Chinese characters in 805 chapters, and completed. The novel is set in a very distant ancient era, in years earlier than Yan and Huang, when the land was vast and the air thick with blood. It was a tragic age for the human race: the hundred clans were more savage than fierce ghosts, fire consumed cities, and blood flew in battle. The protagonist Xiao Yi was originally a modern man who, while covering news at a dinosaur fossil excavation site on a small wetland island in Qintong Town, heard singing and transmigrated from Earth; he swallowed a desolate dragon egg and survived, thereby gaining the power of the desolate dragon, which he then developed step by step. He settles in the Bloodstone Tribe and practices the "Fierce Elephant Great Strength Formula," cultivating and warring in the crevices between the tribe and the hundred clans, progressing from blood refining and bone tempering through soul fusion to earth-splitting and heaven-opening, ultimately becoming a top-tier powerhouse of the heaven-opening realm, condensing a supreme battle soul, and leading humanity against the great clans of the hundred worlds. In the book, humanity does not believe in immortals, does not seek gods, and does not worship buddhas, because those exalted beings are all enemies; humanity trusts only itself, fighting across the world with battle souls, soldier formulas, and the way of sealing. The novel establishes a realm system of blood refining, bone tempering, soul fusion, earth-splitting, and heaven-opening, along with settings for tribal ranks, the seven realms of archery, and technique grades, making it a typical bloodline-and-battle-soul eastern fantasy full of hot blood.

Editor's review

《人皇》是十步行的成名作，也是不少人心中“本可封神”的一部东方玄幻。它最抓人的地方，是把“人族自立”这个命题写成了血肉横飞的生存史：天地间仙神魔佛皆高高在上、视人为刍狗，于是人族只相信自己，不求仙、不拜神、不礼佛。这种设定让每一场战斗都带着族群存亡的重量，读起来比常见的争强斗胜更有底气。作者的升级体系也做得扎实：炼血贯通一百零八条天脉，淬骨显化人族战体，融魂需渡九重天劫，成就下品到绝品战魂，往上还有辟地、开天；再配合部落等级、箭术七境、功法等级等设定，层层递进，脉络清晰。主角萧易从穿越者一路打到开天境，凝聚绝品战魂，节奏紧凑，爽感充足。当然它也有明显的时代烙印：开篇的穿越与吞蛋得力的桥段颇为朴素，后期收束略显仓促，网络连载的痕迹清晰可辨。但对喜欢远古蛮荒、族群血战、境界推进一路酣畅的读者来说，这仍是一部值得补完的老牌粮草。

Reading tips

可先读第一卷“血石部落”，看清境界与部落设定后再决定是否长线追读。
书中境界、功法、部落等级设定密集，建议随手记下关键名词，避免后期混淆。
若在意完整性，可提前了解本书后期结局处理较为仓促，调整预期再读。
读完可对比十步行的《不灭剑体》《纯阳武神》，体会其风格演变。
