Myth Overview:
When the universe was new, there were ten suns who were supposed to take turns illuminating earth. However, the suns were young and wanted to play together. This caused the earth to fall into fiery chaos.
Seeing the destruction, HouYi drew his bow and fired nine arrows at nine suns. Terrified, the tenth sun ran away and hid. The earth was plunged into darkness. Only the shrill cries of the rooster reached the hiding sun. Now, whenever roosters crow, the sun rises.
