"As the cosmic light burst forth, it burned away all human traces in the world, leaving only the Dao and Sword lineages. Among the Daoist school stood exalted figures such as Primordial Ancestor Hongjun, Master Lu Ya, and Master Randeng; the Sword lineage was left with only the progenitor Xu Yujun, the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens, and others. Each held their respective traditions, guarding their remaining days until a new light swept across the world."
"Until the very beginning of chaos, heaven and earth were bound together like an enshrouding mist, with no distinction between day and night. Progenitor Pangu attempted to worship heaven and earth, yet could not tell Yin from Yang. At that time, the sky was filled with a vast, roiling breath while the earth lay in profound darkness, devoid of grass and trees. Progenitor Pangu gripped a giant axe, hacking all around in the hope of bringing light, but to no avail, and thus he fell into deep distress." Tianshan Ancestor's voice seemed to carry a mystical power, drawing Hu Yuan's mind into that era filled with mysteries.
"Progenitor Pangu could truly be called a pioneer; his toil was matched by none, yet because he lacked awareness, it yielded nothing," Hu Yuan murmured to himself, his expression filled with reverence and contemplation.
