These two beings are sometimes worshipped as the ultimate ancestor of all humankind. N.wa was also responsible for repairing the sky after Gong Gonga damaged the pillar supporting the heavens .
Pangu
Pangu, appearing in literature about 200 AD, was the first sentient being and creator. In the beginning there was nothing but a formless chaos. However this chaos grew into a cosmic egg for about 18,000 years. Within it, the perfectly opposed principles of Yin and Yang became balanced, and Pangu emerged or woke up from the egg and set about the task of creating the world. He separated Yin and Yang with a swing of his great axe. The heavy Yin sank to become the Earth, while the light Yang rose to become the Heavens. Pangu stood between them, and pushed up the sky. At the end of eighteen thousand years, Pangu laid to rest. His breath became the wind; his voice the thunder; left eye the sun and right eye the moon; his body became the mountains and extremes of the world; his blood formed rivers; his muscles the fertile lands; his facial hair the stars and milky way; his fur the bushes and forests; his bones the valuable minerals; his bone marrow sacred diamonds; his sweat fell as rain; and the little creatures on his body in some versions, the fleas, carried by the wind, became human beings all over the world.
