**Synopsis**
Once upon a time, the god Mo shook the big tree, and the leaves on the tree fell and turned into human beings. There were humanoids and disabled people...They were driven away by Mo and asked them to live their own lives.
There was a leaf on the tree that did not fall, but hung firmly. After Mo left, Thor and Fengshen quietly approached the stubborn leaf and tried to knock it down with divine power. The leaf was still not shaken by external forces and still hung on the branch.
One day, a larva climbed up the winding tree and waited for its emergence under the leaf. One morning, the larvae ate the leaves and formed pupae, which began to change color and bulge. In a short while, the leaf on the branch withered. The chrysalis bursts when it falls. There are no wet wings, and no beautiful butterflies emerging from the pupa. It was a child who came out of its cocoon. The child may be hungry, grabbed the soil on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly his complexion changed and he started to cry.
Every day, children face ghosts and gods alone. Until one day, hunters patrolling in the forest heard the cry of the child, and followed the sound to find the child under the big tree. The hunter picked up the child and looked at the crying face of the child. The hunter sang:
The storm is coming-darkness is coming
The devil is coming to take your heart
You - a few fractions of you are left
We hugged each other to generate courage to tear apart the demons
Through the darkness, waiting for the wind and rain to be quiet...
The singing lingered in the forest for a while, and the child fell asleep in the arms of the hunter. The hunters named the crying child "Muji".
Mu Ji is a child with supernatural powers. With just a finger, he can thunder and break branches and open his mouth to blow out gusts of wind and harm birds and beasts. In order to prevent the children and the clansmen from being harmed, the hunter's adoptive father worked with the clansmen to create a bow and arrow and gave it to Mu Ji. Mu Ji picked up the bow, showing unparalleled talent; Mu Ji shot the arrow fast and powerful. Mu Ji possessed extraordinary powers and quickly spread throughout the world. None of the warriors who came to challenge him were his opponents.
Fengshen and Lei Shen heard of this and came to compete, and they all became Mu Ji's defeated opponents. The sun looked in the sky and laughed, boasting, "How stupid, I am the strongest in the world!" The proud sun topped the sky, propped up the sky, and the wind and clouds instantly dispersed, and the sky was like a block. The painted canvas is wrinkled away.
Suddenly, a powerful arrow flew over and hit the center of the sun's eyebrows impartially. The sun was shot down, and the people cried out in panic. Mu Ji continued to chase the sun, shouting: "Don't run! Hurry up and fight with me!" The sun was so painful that the corners of his eyes were tears, and he was completely speechless. The tears flowed out of the wound and floated toward the sky and turned into stars. The hunter's adoptive father was worried about Mu Ji, and his tribe followed him closely.
Mu Ji was always reluctant to give up the competition with the sun, chasing from the forest to the hills, over the mountains, and chasing after him. During this period, the sun's physical strength continued to be exhausted, becoming weaker and weaker, the sun could not illuminate the earth, the world began to cool down, and heavy snow fell.
At this moment, the darkness formed a monster, and the monster looked eagerly, ready to swallow the world...
