However, the beauty of the universe became tainted by greedy things soon, and the huge wave swallowed the universe. Fortunately, one girl in the gourd bottle survived. The girl was the Goddess of gourd bottle. However, this book keeps describing the Goddess as a girl, therefore, all the actions by the Goddess taking care of the world, and giving birth to each creature are expressed as the actions by an innocent little girl who believes that even a stone has its life in the world. And when the world was filled with lives finally, the Goddess wished for love to be filled with among all the people. When people begin to love each other, then, this world can be more affluent. Babies could be born among loving people. However, how can she make love surge up naturally in the world? No one can force anyone to love others. So, what she came up with as the answer was music. She thought, if the world was filled with beautiful music, the love also could surge up among people.
Therefore, music was created in the world, and people began to love each other. Since then, people have never lived without music.
