Chapter 105.1

Words From The Author - The Untold Mystery In The Myths
The tale of Chang’e flying to the moon was the fountain of inspiration for Zai Zhu (the author) to write this novel, .
I’m very sure everyone is very familiar with this tale, Chang’e and Hou Yi were husband and wife. An immortal, Queen Mother of the West, granted Hou Yi an elixir of immortality for his meritorious deeds, and Chang’e pilfered the elixir and ascended to the moon.
She resided in the Guang Han Palace on the moon to hide away from Hou Yi. From the timeline, the tale took place around four thousand years ago.
A simple story, and yet, all of you might not have noticed the secret concealed in it. That is….
The moon seemed to be so small, there weren’t any telescopes back in the ancient times, nor were there any spaceships, so then, how did the ancients know that the moon was way bigger than it seemed, so huge that a palace can be constructed on it in which resided an immortal, Chang’e.
Four thousand years apart from the era of Hou Yi to the modern days, who told our ancestors that the moon was not as small as it seemed, who told them that the moon was actually gigantic?
When Zai Zhu was reading the tale of Chang’e flying to the moon, I’ve been thinking about it, it felt so mysterious and I couldn’t stop thinking, “What if the ancients really did ascend to the moon?”
Zai Zhu had linked the story of Qi Practitioners from the era before the Qin Dynasty, and my thoughts went out of control; it might be true about the strong and otherworldly Qi Practitioners before Qin, and if they really existed, then it is very possible for them to reach to the moon.
And now, let’s take a look at the wordings and characters before the era of Qin Dynasty, the carvings and patterns on the objects are all akin to the totem carvings, and Zai Zhu’s thoughts instantly went crazy.
Merging and integrating the myths and legends of the ancient history, and this novel, was born.
– it’s not a story about the protagonist ascending to the highest throne as a sovereign. This is a novel that records the story of humanity’s rise to become the leaders of the world, it is the story about the lost and untold history of our ancestors.
In addition, the Fuxi was not just a figment of Zai Zhu’s imagination, it really existed. During the era of Fuxi, there were a total of seventy-seven earthly Sovereigns, they were venerated as the earthly Sovereign Heavenly emperor, among which, there were twenty-three reigns of earthly Sovereigns from the Fuxi race. i will list their names down, some of the characters are too uncommon and I will replace it with the characters of the same pronunciation.
Fuxi, Yi Yi, Shi Yi, Tai Hao, Hao Yi, Shao Hao, Ji Jie, Fu Tai, Xi Hao, Yin Qiang, Xiang Tuan, Cao An, Gui Xin, Tuan Hao, Sui Yi, Peng He, Yin Kang, Wei Lie, Feng He, Jie Shi, Tai He, Da Yao, Fu Min.
Do some of the names seem very familiar? Zai Zhu will explain it more in details so you all can understand clearer, Tai Hao was also known as Tai Yi of the East Emperor; Shao Yu is also known as Wu Tian, or more commonly known as the "Most Perfect Supreme Jade Emperor, Utmost Venerated Wonderful Natural Maitreya of the Golden Towergate in the Bright Heaven"….
Some said that the East Emperor Tai Yi was from the monster race, but in that period of lost history, East Emperor Tai Yi was a Fuxi. Maybe, the Yi from the (which is also known as or ) comes from that lost era, the book was merely written to interpret and analyze the attainments on the word Yi.
After the era of Fuxi came the era of the Human Sovereign, followed by the Five Emperors and all the way down to the era of Shang Dynasty. Through all this, the strongest existence in China was venerated with the appellation of ‘Heavenly Emperor’ – the one who held the seat of supreme glory in the theocracy.
The last of Shang Dynasty, King Zhou proclaimed himself as the God of Sun, and so did all the other rulers of the Shang Dynasty. The Heavenly Emperors of the Shang Dynasty were arranged accordingly to the number of reigns.
Before the Shang Dynasty was the Xia Dynasty. The Heavenly Emperors of that dynasty also crowned themselves as the Gods of Sun. The tales of Hou Yi shooting down the sun and Chang’e flying to the moon happened during this period of time; Hou Yi shooting down the sun meant that Hou Yi shot the God of Sun to death, veritably putting an end to the rule of the Xia Dynasty. It was not that Hou Yi had truly shot down the sun.
Whether if it was Shang Dynasty or the Xia Dynasty, the courtiers were portrayed as the gods that ruled and manage the world – they are the divine officers.
But it all ended during the era of Zhou Dynasty, the rulers called themselves the Sons of Heaven, child of the Heavenly Emperor and the theocracy was ended. A notable event was the Battle of Muye, the revolt led by King Wu of Zhou to subvert King Zhou of Shang, a path to overthrow the Heaven; Ever since then, monarchy replaced theocracy, putting an end to China’s mythology.
From then onwards, the Heavenly Emperors disappeared from China, and word of the gods in the mortal world had seemingly turned to silence. And slowly, the tales of immortals started to burgeon from the East Zhou.
The milieu of is far more grand and epic than the mythology recorded in the history, way more than what the historical records could ever tell you. Brothers and sisters, all this that you’ve read so far, was only a tiny part of the tip of the gigantic iceberg. Ladies and gentlemen, let me, simply a man whose imagination is rife with thoughts, slowly plot out and walk you through these lost tales….
