Human World: Return to the Ruins

Chaos first opens, and the Great Way emerges. Two is born, two is born three, and three is born all things. These two are called creation and return to ruins. Creator, the manifestation of all things, and the foundation of all things. Monks can refine it to become an immortal, gods and demons can steal it and make it a saint. Throughout the ages, hundreds of millions of beings have been chasing after this as the right path, this as "useful use". Those who return to ruins are the root of annihilation and the foundation of nothingness. Decline, forgetfulness, abandonment, and finality are all manifestations of "ruin". It is everywhere but abandoned by all souls. This is called "useless use". Liezi's "Tang Wen" says: "East of the Bohai Sea, hundreds of millions of miles away, there is a big ravine. It is actually a bottomless valley with no bottom below it. It is called Guixu. The water in the eight rivers and nine fields, the currents of Tianhan and Han Dynasty, all pour into it, without increasing or decreasing." Everyone in the world thinks that Guixu is the place where all things end. But I don't know—— In the end, new life is born. There is great use hidden within the waste. Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, but he didn't know that Zhou's dream was Hu Dieyu, and Hu Die's dream was Zhou Yu? Thousands of years later, the young man called "waste" by the world will spend his life proving a forgotten truth: Everyone knows the uses of useful things, but no one knows the uses of useless things.
