I Became the Will of Heaven

An ancient tale of mountains and seas, passed down by the human race.

The chapter on humanity conquering Heaven.

The Primordial Age scroll.

In the Primordial Age, a cataclysmic change in Heaven and Earth halted all acquired development.

The wisdom of all living beings regressed into ignorance, and they ate raw meat and drank blood.

The unseen laws of the world erased every creation made by acquired means,

as though they meant to keep all living beings in a primeval age forever, until the world's end.

In those days, Fuxi was born among the human race. He recorded events with knotted cords and devised the Eight Trigrams, awakening human wisdom. Across twelve thousand generations and one hundred and eight cosmic cycles, humanity's wisdom endured.

Then a great tribulation descended, lasting three cosmic cycles.

Youchao came into the world, building nests from wood and making clothes from leaves. Across nine thousand generations and one hundred and eight cosmic cycles, he secretly erased and altered a trace of the world's laws, allowing acquired creations such as clothing and houses to exist among Heaven and Earth.

Then a great tribulation erupted, lasting six cosmic cycles.

Suiren was born and kindled the Suiren Fire, bringing the tribulation to an end. Across six thousand generations and one hundred and eight cosmic cycles, he secretly wore away and eroded a trace of the world's laws, making the concept of fire everlasting for humanity.

Within the world's origin.

Chen Xiaotian, the will of the world, gazed into the sea of destiny within his world's origin.

There lay the ancient Eight Trigrams, their knotted cords intertwined.

There stood a simple wooden hut, with a nest and garments laid inside.

There rested a rough fire drill, its Suiren Fire still burning.

Feeling the presence of these three world spirit treasures, he looked upon the human sages as they wrote the ancient tale of mountains and seas, and smiled without a word.
