When the earth was in a state of chaos and covered with darkness, the giant Kua Fu considered himself to be the strongest being. He felt his only challenge was the great fireball in the sky, and was bemused and angered. His attempt to chase it ended when the fireball set in the west. When he finally felt exhausted and died, his body, eyes, arms and long hair turned into mountains, the moon, stars, forests and rivers. In this way the earth was formed.
