The goddess who mended the sky.
In ancient times, the four poles were abolished, and Kyushu was split. The sky was not covered and the ground was not loaded. The fire is weak, the water is endless, the animals eat people, and the birds/the old and the weak are taken away.
Nu Wa refined five-color stones to make up the sky, and her broken claws stood at four levels, killing the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulating reed ash to stop lewd water.

Three. translate
In ancient times, four pillars supporting the sky collapsed, and the sky could not protect everything like a big umbrella. The earth is cracked and can't carry everything. The fire spread everywhere, but it didn't go out. The water was vast and endless. Fierce beasts run wild and eat good people. Fierce birds do whatever they want, catching old people and children with claws like steel hooks. People on the earth are miserable and sad.
So, Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to fill the sky, cut off the feet of giant turtles as pillars to support the sky, killed the black dragon to save Kyushu, and blocked the flood with reed ash.
Finally, the sky was mended and Tianzhu stood up again. When the flood receded, the earth was calm again. Birds of prey and beasts died, and good people survived.
