Kangtao is a Fifth Generation Skeleton man, born a natural Ascender, and also the culmination of the [Path of the New Generation Demigods] bioengineering project.
Skeletons are different from normal organisms; their essence is just a bunch of living bones.
Thus, Skeletons determined early on their evolutionary path, distinct from ordinary creatures.
The evolution scheme of "survival of the fittest" was never part of the Skeletons' plan.
Skeletons seek to actively drive their evolutionary course, nurturing powerful new generation individuals through the technology and concepts they have mastered.
The first generation of Skeletons were the primordial Skeletons born under the Day of Sin.
Some of them perished shortly after birth, while others, quite fortunately, were guided and educated by the Immortal, successfully nurturing a self-awareness.
Skeletons at this stage could not yet be called a Race.
