Before heaven, there was no heaven.
Before earth, there was no earth.
Before all things, there was Wuji - 無極.
This is not a story.
This is a record.
A record of what existed before form, before name, before distinction.
A record of how stillness became movement, how movement became division, and how division became the ten thousand things.
Gods.
Demons.
Judges of hell.
Kings of heaven.
Creatures of mountain and sea.
All are recorded here.
Not as legend.
Not as interpretation.
But as they were written.
This text gathers the oldest surviving accounts of ancient Chinese cosmology, mythology, and underworld law - and retells them in the form they were meant to be remembered:
Flat.
Direct.
Unexplained.
The way records are meant to be kept.
Read it carefully.
Because what is recorded here is not separate from you.
All things come from Wuji.
All things return to Wuji.
You are included.


This record continues alongside the narrative of Hell Difficulty : The Reincarnation of Yanluo Wang

I care for my mother alone. She is 83. I write when I can. My hands hurt. Both my shoulders hurt. I am writing three books.


If you are here for the stories—thank you. If you are here to swap—please move on.


No hard feelings. I just do not have time.
