Chen Xuan stroked the wood grain on the Bow of the Sun-Shooter, carefully sensing the profound mysteries contained within. Without realizing it, the legend of Hou Yi shooting down the suns surfaced in his mind.
Legend had it that during the primordial era, Di Jun and Xi He bore ten children, all of whom were suns. They lived overseas in the East, upon a great tree called Fusang. The ten suns would take turns traversing the sky to perform their duties and illuminate the world, but sometimes they appeared all at once, bringing great disaster to the ancient human race. Consequently, Hou Yi, a king among men, used his bow and arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, causing three-legged golden crows to fall and saving the human race. This was the legend of Hou Yi shooting the suns.
If the legend were true, the bow Hou Yi used to bring down the nine suns was none other than this Bow of the Sun-Shooter.
