In ancient times, the four poles collapsed and the nine provinces split apart. The heavens could no longer cover all things, nor could the earth support them all. Raging fires burned without end, and floodwaters surged without cease. Fierce beasts devoured the people, while birds of prey snatched the old and the weak. So Nuwa smelted five-colored stones to mend the heavens. The heavens were repaired, but three of the five-colored stones remained. One of them fell in the Northern Wasteland. After millions of years, it was found by an ancient mighty being, who saw how unusual it was and laughed. "Wonderful! This is a colorless stone. After ten thousand years, it has become the blank of a blade, yet it has no spirit, so it can never become a true weapon. Finding it is fate! Very well, I shall help it!" As he spoke, the mighty being reached out and effortlessly ripped open the void, capturing a Nine-Section Heaven-Slaying Scorpion and using its soul as the blade's spirit. But the scorpion's soul was so powerful that it shattered into countless pieces. Seeing this, the mighty being roared, "This is a stone that mended the heavens! Entering it is your own good fortune, so how dare you resist?" With a wave of his hand, he split the Nine-Section Heaven-Slaying Scorpion's soul into countless parts, placing one in each fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone. In an instant, the scorpion's myriad souls reunited, reforging the Heaven-Mending Blade.
The mighty being laughed. "Excellent! I shall carve my ultimate art into you and leave you here. Let someone destined to find you in a later age claim you!"
With that, the mighty being vanished from heaven and earth!!!
