The contents of this mural were rather complex. The gods of Takama-ga-hara were divided into two groups, positioned at the upper and lower sections of the mural.
On the battlefield above, Amaterasu, who symbolized the sun, had Tsukuyomi's weapon embedded in his chest as he fought the Red Moon-corrupted Tsukuyomi. His right hand blocked Tsukuyomi's attack, while with his left, he cast a sword and a red magatama toward the lower half of the mural.
On the battlefield below, the many gods of Takama-ga-hara had all lost their minds and were slaughtering one another. Only Susanoo, who symbolized the sea, stepped forward and reached out to receive the sword and magatama.

"So after Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi perished together, Susanoo slaughtered every Takama-ga-hara god who had gone mad?" Jialan said in sudden realization. "No wonder Takama-ga-hara fell, yet not a single mad god escaped."
"But I still have a question." Lin Qiye's gaze settled on Susanoo in the fourth mural, where he was frantically hunting the other gods. "How did he keep his sanity beneath the Red Moon?"
The instant Lin Qiye finished speaking, the ground
