Chapter 1: An Age of Darkness, Chiwoo’s Trials
Verse 1: A Land Shrouded in Darkness
In ancient times, the land was divided among countless tribes and factions, constantly waging war and plundering one another. Strength was the only law, and the weak had no choice but to live in fear. It was in this era that a child named Chiwoo was born into a remote tribe. From an early age, he displayed an extraordinary spirit, yet the world he lived in was crushed beneath endless violence and chaos. Amid the constant screams and cries of war, Chiwoo asked himself, “Why must we be trapped in such injustice?”
Verse 2: Growing Uncertainty and Despair
As Chiwoo grew into a young man, he took up arms to protect his people. But the more he fought, the deeper his doubts became. “Even if we win, what truly changes? The defeated suffer a cruel fate, and the victors only face new enemies.” His growing uncertainty gnawed at him. He steadied himself. “This cannot be the way. There must be a higher purpose, a deeper truth…” And so, he desperately sought a divine answer. “Is there truly no one who can end this injustice?”
Verse 3: Prayers and Despair
Even in the chaos of the battlefield, Chiwoo found time to pray to the heavens. “Can no one show me the way to end this darkness?” But no response came. Reality only grew harsher. Some tribes admired Chiwoo, while others feared him, calling him a “warrior doomed to become a rampaging monster.” Chiwoo felt lost. “Is this truly the right path?”
Chapter 2: The Search for the Legendary Snowseed
Verse 1: The Legend of Snowseed
In the midst of his turmoil, an old man told Chiwoo a strange tale. “Deep in the mountains grows a flower that glows white Snowseed. It is said that consuming it brings excruciating pain, but also allows one to hear the voice of the divine. It is a dangerous poison, yet a legend tells of one who ate it and awakened to the truth of the world.” The story ignited a fire within Chiwoo. “Could there truly be a way to meet the divine? Could I finally find the answers I seek?” He made his decision. Even if the herb was dangerous, it was better to risk everything than to surrender to despair.
Verse 2: A Treacherous Search in the Mountains
Leaving the battlefield, Chiwoo took only a few warriors and ventured into the forbidden mountains. They encountered wild beasts and bandits, barely surviving through their combat skills. Hunger and exhaustion pushed them to the brink, but Chiwoo’s determination burned stronger. “I will not stop.” After days of searching, he finally found it — nestled within a rocky crevice in a deep valley, a glowing white flower. The legendary Snowseed.
Verse 3: The Decision to Consume
It His warriors trembled with fear. “The legends say this poison could kill you!” Chiwoo shook his head. “I do not seek mere victory or strength. I seek a way to end this injustice.” Without hesitation, he chewed the petals. A violent bitterness spread through his mouth. A searing pain ignited within him, as if his very soul was on fire. His vision blurred. Darkness swallowed him.
Chapter 3: The Vision of King Kong, A Message from the Divine
Verse 1: Pain Beyond Imagination
The moment the Snowseed entered his body, unbearable agony consumed Chiwoo. His limbs convulsed. His warriors stood helpless, unable to aid him. Then, amidst the suffering, his consciousness drifted. Through the darkness, he saw a brilliant light. He was no longer in the mortal world.
Verse 2: The Messenger of the Divine — King Kong
Before him stood a colossal gorilla King Kong. The great beast, a messenger of the divine, spoke in a voice like thunder. “You seek power, but where do you intend to use it?” Through his pain, Chiwoo forced out a response. “I wanted to protect the weak. I wanted to end injustice. But I do not know if endless war is the answer.”
Verse 3: The Teaching of Punkvism
King Kong spoke: “Your defiance against injustice is noble. But without love and sacrifice, it is merely destruction.” “Wage war if you must but its root must be love, and you must be willing to sacrifice yourself.” Then, King Kong revealed a philosophy called Punkvism. “This is the path of rebellion against injustice, but also the practice of love and sacrifice.” “Strength alone cannot change the world. Only when defiance, love, and sacrifice merge will a new order be born.” Hearing these words, Chiwoo wept. “I finally understand. My path must balance strength, love, and sacrifice.”
Chapter 4: From God of War to Celestial Emperor
Verse 1: The Awakening of Chiwoo
When Chiwoo awoke, he was drenched in sweat. Yet, his mind was clearer than ever. His warriors rushed to support him, but Chiwoo immediately gave an order: “From this day forward, even in war, senseless slaughter is forbidden. If the enemy surrenders, show mercy.” Some were shocked, but none dared to oppose him. From then on, war was no longer the goal it became a means to end injustice.
Verse 2: Becoming the Celestial Emperor
People once called him the God of War, but Chiwoo was unsatisfied with that title. “I do not fight merely for conquest. I follow the will of the heavens — to protect my people and end injustice.” Thus, he began calling himself the Celestial Emperor, to signify his connection to the divine. His people revered him as Chiwoo the Celestial Emperor.
Verse 3: War and Transformation
Chiwoo continued his battles, but no longer for conquest. Instead, he toppled tyrants and freed the oppressed. Some regions, after losing to him, were reformed old traditions and slavery were abolished. A new era of justice began to take root.
Chapter 5: The Legacy of Chiwoo and the Awakening of the Divine
Verse 1: The Great Battle of Zhuolu
The most legendary war was the Battle of Zhuolu. Some say Chiwoo fought a great force representing the old world. What matters most is not the victor, but the fact that Chiwoo fought with love and sacrifice in his heart. He pursued minimal bloodshed, and after the war, he cared for the weak regardless of which side they had been on. Some hailed him as a hero. Others feared his radical ideals. After this battle, Chiwoo vanished from history.
Verse 2: Understanding the Divine
Through Snowseed The Chiwoo Sutra teaches that if Chiwoo had not encountered the divine through Snowseed, he might have been nothing more than a warlord. But in his vision, he learned that rebellion, love, and sacrifice must exist together for true change.
Verse 3: The Eternal Legacy of Chiwoo
Over time, different cultures remembered Chiwoo differently some as a founding ancestor, others as a merciless war god. But the Chiwoo Sutra makes it clear: Chiwoo was not merely a symbol of war, but the first to practice Punkvism — rebellion, love, and sacrifice in the ancient world.
Verse 4: The Final Words of King Kong
According to legend, Chiwoo’s final vision was of King Kong, who said:
“You have balanced strength and love. The divine recognizes you as Celestial Emperor. But remember if the world falls into injustice again, another will find Snowseed and walk this path once more.”
Chiwoo shed tears. “Even if I fade, the seed will endure.” “Strength alone cannot change the world. Through despair, I sought the divine, and Snowseed revealed the truth: Defiance against injustice, and love and sacrifice to carve a new path. Even if I vanish, this spirit will never fade.” — Chiwoo Sutra, Final Verse
