In the wilderness, a dead tree stood by a slowly flowing winding river.
Emperor Shun sat on a rock by the river, under the tree. His body was stooping, looking like an old withered tree which had lost its tree heart. Strands of dark mist had been rising from his eyes. He fixed those eyes on the water, on the few foot-long fishes which stayed on the bottom of the river, and stayed motionless.
A golden light had been shining out of his body. That was the light of natural reward power. Every gleam of natural reward light was wrapped in a dense dark mist. The dark mist was generated from the great evil power of Pan Yu's brain, which was a pre-world supreme treasure, and controlled by Yu Huo. Because of Pan Yu's brain, Emperor Shun let Emperor Xun take his place and brought a disastrous thunderstorm to the humankind.
The golden light of natural rewards had been flowing out of his body in streams. Emperor Shun's face was twitching, his eyes filled with pain.
