Awakening and Exploration

Have the ancient myths ever been false? Pangu wielded the immense power to split the heavens, using his supreme body to break through the primordial chaos and hold the heavens and earth apart. Nuwa possessed the divine power of creation. With boundless compassion, she shaped humans from clay and brought all the creatures of the world into being. Antlers for horns, a camel’s head, ox ears, a serpent’s body, rabbit eyes, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger paws, and a clam’s belly to conceal itself. The dragon, which gathers the spirits of myriad beasts and the essence of heaven and earth, churns rivers and seas, swallows clouds and breathes out mist, and roams the nine heavens. Could it really be nothing more than a legend invented by later generations? It all begins with a mysterious, unknown ancient book, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the exploration of a world unlike any other. If everything in this world is destined to return to nothingness, if all that we cherish and all that is beautiful must inevitably shatter and fade, then I will break this lifeless cycle of reincarnation. If the sky falls, I will hold it up. If the Dao perishes, I will forge it anew. If fate is set, I will defy it! When darkness falls, there will be sword-bearers to cleave through the endless night. When order collapses, there will be those who defy the heavens and restore the world. There will always be those who refuse to sink into ruin. There will always be those who would rather die than yield. There will always be someone standing where heaven and earth collapse, crying out in fury, and with one shout, reopening the chaos and bringing the sun and moon back to light!
