Xuanwu Creates the World

Even after learning that Shang Xuan was nearing the end of his life, the four spirit beasts refused to part from their master, in life or death. Unable to bear their deep bond being severed, Shang Xuan risked using the art of reincarnation. To his surprise, he was reborn in another world. His spirit-beast followers had become beastfolk, while he himself was a perfectly ordinary baby.

"Let's build a country of our own. Have you ever done that before? I haven't either!" And so Shang Xuan led his followers in the great undertaking of founding a nation. Their economy, military, politics, and culture all advanced by leaps and bounds, making their country famous throughout heaven and earth!
