Your servant laughs, saying: The Jiku jing says: 'When heaven and earth are burned in the kalpa fire, all is ablaze, empty, and desolate. The pure qi becomes heaven, and the turbid qi becomes earth. Thereupon, the Giant Spirit and Hu Hai are dispatched to create and establish the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon as before.' If Mount Kunlun flies and floats, it might conceivably allow people to be received and settled on top of the mountain. But if heaven and earth are ablaze and the mountain is incinerated by fire, logically it cannot stand alone; how could they receive and take up kings and people to settle them on top of the mountain?
