I once listened to the Great Dao in the Zixiao Palace;
I once took the form of Feng Ge and laughed at Confucius;
I once joined Xu Fu in tricking Qin Shi Huang into seeking eternal life;
And I even gave three scrolls of heavenly scripture to that merciful fellow, Zhang Jue...
Alas, the spiritual energy in this world gradually dried up, ushering in the Age of Decline. My companions of old either died or fled. Because I loved this land so deeply, I chose to fall asleep.
The Japanese invaders received this order: "Kill every Chinese person, regardless of age or sex, and burn every house to the ground."
Rivers of blood flowed, and the land wept, awakening me from my slumber.
"I slept for a thousand years because I could not bear to leave my homeland. And now you've come to my territory? You're asking for death!"
The glory of the ancient mythological age must not be violated!
