On the shores of the West Sea, the Qiongsang Divine Country enjoyed tranquil times, as if forgotten by the clamor and war of the Primordial World.
The child born surrounded by the Five-Colored Phoenixes grew peacefully under the loving care of his mother Huang E and the guidance of the mysterious "Son of the White Emperor."
His name remained Shao Hao.
Unlike typical children who love to play, Shao Hao demonstrated an innate sensitivity to Melody and Order.
When his father played the Jade Flute, and immortal music floated ethereal, he would stop crying in his cradle and listen attentively.
It seemed he could glimpse the ultimate truths of heaven and earth in the rise and fall of those notes.
His mother Huang E would weave the seven-colored clouds with threads intersecting perfectly, never in disarray.
He could sit beside her watching all day, his eyes sparkling with the light of understanding for "Rules" and "Harmony."
