13. A great giant, Pangu, dies after thousands of years of stretching apart the earth and the sky. When he falls to the earth his flesh and blood create land, water, and life.
Within a chaotic universe grew a large, black egg. Within the egg, Pangu slept for over 18,000 years. During this time, the egg balanced both Yin and Yang until Pangu awoke. Pangu realized he was trapped and broke apart the egg into two separate pieces, splitting Yin and Yang. The upper half of the shell became the sky while the lower part became the earth. The farther he pushed them apart, the taller he grew.
Another 18,000 years passed by, and Pangu died. His body fell, and different parts of his body became different parts of the earth. His limbs became great and tall mountains. His breath became the wind and his eyes created the sun and the moon. His blood filled the crevices to form rivers. His voice became loud and boisterous thunder and his veins and muscles formed fertile land and long roads. The parasites that inhabited his body scattered and became human beings.
