Par.1~Tenchi-kaibyaku

Main story

The heavens and the earth was mixed up, and the positive and the negative was mixed up, in a chaotic condition like a raw chicken egg. But one day, the clear and pure rose and formed the heavens, and the muddy and heavy formed the earth. Since what formed the heavens were easy to move, and what formed the land was difficult to harden, the heavens formed first, then the earth formed. Then, a god emerged.

When the heavens and the earth was created, the land was still like floating fish in the water. Then, something like sprouting reeds appeared and it became a god, Kuninotokotachi-no-mikoto.

Then, Kunisatsuchi-no-mikoto and Toyokumunu-no-mikoto were born. These three gods were only effected by the positive, so they are male gods.
