Gu Xuan received a mysterious bamboo slip while climbing Mount Everest. After he died, he arrived in the Primordial World, where his remnant soul unexpectedly merged with the first human body Nuwa had shaped from the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil. Seeing how tedious it was for Nuwa to mold humans by hand, he suggested dipping the Gourd Vine in mud and flinging it to create them. His idea helped Nuwa amass merit and become a saint. As the first human and a great benefactor, he was crowned Human King and embarked on the path to the rise of humanity with a supreme treasure of the Great Dao.
