Chinese God

Pangu

Pangu (盤古) is an ancient Chinese deity considered to be the first living being and creator of the world. Emerging from an egg containing the entire cosmos, his birth released the universe.

Pangu, Chinese Creator of the World (3:2)

Pangu separated yin and yang (earth and sky) with his axe, then held them apart as the earth and sky expanded for thousands of years.
In some stories, Pangu was assisted in separating the sky from the earth by four creatures: the turtle, the qilin, the phoenix, and the dragon.
