CHAPTER 115: THE TWIN VOW IN THE REALM OF LIGHT
AN ANCIENT VOW. THREE UNIVERSES. ONE LAW OF TRUTH.
What if the legends of Olympus were only one chapter in a forgotten cosmic epic?
When the silent embers guarded by the young disciples beneath humble thatch roofs and across distant cities continue their steady glow, the formless ripples of their Righteous Thoughts do not merely linger within the mortal plane. They pierce through layers of dimensions, echoing backward through the vast corridors of time to reconnect with the primordial source of all creation.
For the steadfastness maintained in the red dust today is but the terrestrial echo of a grander, older promise.
To understand why these young souls stand unyielding as the keepers of the flame, the wheel of cosmic history must turn backward—past the mortal centuries, past the crumbling empires, straight into the immaculate radiance where the first oath was forged...
In the boundless reaches of the Realm of Light, far beyond the furthest limits of time and space fathomable by mortal wisdom, there existed a kingdom of absolute purity and supreme intelligence. Here, light was no mere illumination; it was the primordial essence of all creation, the sacred source of all life and eternal truth. Amidst this endless, magnificent radiance, Enlightened One An—a noble being carrying a grand destiny—bowed reverently before the Creator. He was the Supreme Lord, the ultimate sovereign of all realms, and the source of the vast, multi-layered cosmos.
With a heart steeped in boundless compassion and a will forged like diamond, Enlightened One An swore a sacred vow to descend to the mortal world. He voluntarily chose to shoulder the immense, sweeping suffering of the myriad beings within the Three Realms—a place where reincarnation churns relentlessly and Karma weaves its suffocating web. His divinely ordained mission was not simply to pass through the world of delusion and taste the red dust of mortal life, but to bring back the supreme principles of The Great Fa during The Fa-Rectification—the truest and most pristine laws of the cosmos—to purify the Realm of Light and salvage those living beings sinking into delusion and destruction. It was a sacred oath, a profound sacrifice that no ordinary being could easily embrace or carry with such detached serenity.
As he boarded the Fa Boat—the vessel of fate that would carry him through countless heavenly planes down to the human world—Enlightened One An cast a fleeting glance back at his beloved homeland of Light. In the deep recesses of his eyes, for less than a millionth of a second, a flicker of hesitation emerged. Dia—the most powerful deity, who had brought An's primordial entity into being and witnessed his growth and sublime vow—discerned that subtle restraint immediately.
It was absolutely not the fear of a weakling facing adversity, but the guardian vigilance of a noble soul before the relentless trials, layered traps, and unpredictable pollution of the mundane world. Dia, with her transcendent wisdom and boundless love, knew all too well that once An entered the laws of the Three Realms, he would endure the agonizing cycle of human existence: birth, old age, sickness, death; the pain of unfulfilled desires, the bitterness of resentment, and the grief of parting from loved ones. She feared that An, once submerged too deeply in the vast ocean of human suffering, would have his primordial awareness clouded by the dust of the world, making it impossible to return to this pure Realm of Light.

Driven by this profound love and deep concern, Dia made a monumental decision—one that would forever alter her fate alongside that of Enlightened One An. She chose to accompany him on his descent, willingly renouncing her throne in the highest heavens to brave the turbulent cycles of reincarnation by his side. It was a sacrifice so grand it shook the heavens and earth, an immortal testament to a bond transcending the boundaries of all cosmic dimensions.
However, the path of descent for these two great beings was far from smooth. The Old Forces—a system of corrupted and degenerated ancient deities who manipulated the celestial power within the Three Realms, seeking to control the destiny of all creation according to their own selfish will—approached Dia. They agreed to grant her requests, arranging all ties, destinies, and red threads of fate, to bind her destiny and An's together as inextricably as possible. Yet, the intent of The Old Forces was never to aid them; rather, they deliberately designed the most brutal trials and mountain-like obstacles to erode their will and shatter their ancient vow. In the end, Dia accepted the contract, sealing it with an ironclad commitment—a vow that shook and echoed through every dimension of the cosmos:
“If we fail this descent, I shall fall with An into the Three Realms forever, my body and name perishing in the cycle of reincarnation, never to return to the Realm of Light!”
Thus, bound by the Great Twin Vow, Dia and An entered the vortex of rebirth, manifesting as the radiant twin deities of ancient Greek myth—Apollo and Diana. One, the light of the sun; the other, the cool shadow of the moon. A great love, a steadfast ideal, a twin vow spanning countless lifetimes from the heavens down to the mortal world. They were the embodiment of absolute opposition and harmony, of duty and sacrifice, of undying hope amidst the dark night of the mortal world. Their story is not merely a myth for entertainment, but a tragic epic of a journey to rediscover their true origin amidst the endless flow of reincarnation.
Yet, behind the malice of The Old Forces, the Creator—the Supreme Holy King—for the safety of all cosmic beings and the ultimate success of The Fa-Rectification, had made deeper, more subtle arrangements. On this path filled with thorns, the descended gods and the disciples of The Great Fa had but one choice: with every step and every thought, they must walk upright, utterly rejecting the selfish designs of The Old Forces. Only then could they fulfill their ancient oath and complete their high mission.
This was a magnificent, silent war—a battle of will, faith, and Righteous Thoughts, where every small choice decided the survival of countless souls. The legend of Apollo and Diana stands as a heroic chapter in that grand saga, an immortal witness to the power of the Ancient Vow and the glory of The Fa-Rectification.
The Undying Poem of the Twin Vow
Straying far from the high heavens above,
They gave their all to bear the mortal love.
Beside the Sovereign, cosmic Truth they sow—
Through eons vast, they keep the sacred vow.
