Cosmic Ruins: Primordial Origin

From the heights of higher dimensions, we gaze into the depths and trace the primordial chaos back to the singularity. Over fourteen billion years, dimensions shifted and the cosmos expanded. Galaxies formed their networks, and celestial bodies took shape. After eons of change, life evolved, until, forty-five million years ago, the first ancestors of humankind in the East began to form their spirit meridians. Transcending the order of the mortal realm, this work observes the mysteries of the outer domains and records the secret patterns at the source of heaven and earth. Its words hold profound mysteries, its meanings difficult to fathom.

With a stroke of the pen, it spans the primordial beginning of all time. Its account reaches back to forty-five million years before the present day on Earth, to the threshold before the dawn ape, ancestor of Eastern humanity, came into being. This founding work of the cosmic tome, The Origins of the Ancestors of Eastern Humanity, lays the foundations of heaven and earth, opens the story of humankind, and fills a gap left empty for all eternity.

The entire work adheres strictly to the orthodox style of the Wenmuti form, written by the founding master of the genre. Following The Spy's Shadow Stirs the Waters: The Tale of Ai, it establishes a new form and opens a new lineage. Its structure is rigorous and its diction and meaning archaic and abstruse, with no embellishment, mythology, or vulgar writing.

The unit of time used in this work is the cosmic era, with one cosmic era equal to one hundred million Earth years. Cosmic Era 0 is the moment the Big Bang singularity exploded; negative cosmic eras record the sequence of time in the primordial void before the explosion. This work later developed a system of micro-series titles: the main text records the macrocosmic universe, appendices record individual celestial bodies, and micro-texts record the microscopic elements and life within those bodies.
