Prelude: The Legacy of Light and Music
The thunder upon Olympus had fallen silent, but its echo resounded through the mortal world.
Upon the high peaks where Prometheus watched over mankind, Apollo stood in profound silence. From the Titan's words, the Sun God now understood the absolute truth: Diana had not fallen out of weakness, but had willingly chosen sacrifice to preserve the sacred moral order and forge a path of salvation for humanity.
Though his heart was shattered by an eternal grief—knowing he would not gaze upon his twin sister’s face again in this mortal age—Apollo transformed his sorrow into an unyielding vow.
Aligning himself with Prometheus in defiance of the cruel decrees of Olympus, Apollo chose to remain among mortals. He poured his divine essence into shaping the foundational culture of mankind:
❖ Sacred Music & High Art: He taught humans how to weave celestial harmonies into earthly lyres, using music to purify the human spirit and align mortal souls with cosmic order; ❖ Miraculous Medicine: He revealed the secrets of herbs, energy channels, and healing arts, granting mankind the means to resist disease and preserve life;
❖ Agriculture & Order: He guided them in cultivating the land in harmony with seasons, establishing an ethical boundary where human love respected divine law.
Apollo fully submitted himself to the human condition, enduring the heavy burden of mortal aging and mortality alongside the people he guarded.
The Divine Choice Before the Creator
At the moment his mortal frame withered and his spirit separated from the physical realm, a warm radiance of boundless compassion enveloped his soul.
The Supreme Creator—the Holy King of Kings—manifested before him in transcendent majesty. With profound grace, the Creator revealed a secret that shook Apollo’s spirit to its core: Diana’s Primordial Spirit had never been destroyed. She had been shielded by divine mercy and guided safely into the wheel of rebirth, preparing for a higher destiny in an age yet to come.
Before Apollo’s soul, the Creator presented two paths for his next reincarnation:
❖ The First Path: He could reunite with Diana immediately in her next life. However, once his spirit became entangled in mundane human affection and worldly desire, it would be nearly impossible to maintain the Righteous Thoughts required to keep pace with the cosmic Fa-Rectification.
❖ The Second Path: He would remain apart from Diana through the coming ages. Reincarnating immediately to continue establishing human civilization, he would endure long millennia of separation in exchange for obtaining the Great Fa and following the Creator when He spread the ultimate truth in the End Times.
Weighted between personal longing and his sacred covenant to save the cosmos, Apollo wiped away a divine tear, knelt respectfully before the Creator, and chose the second path—casting aside personal comfort to preserve his holy mission.

Bound by that solemn vow, Apollo’s soul crossed the boundaries of time and descended into a glorious new epoch.
The First High Pontiff of Atlantis
He reincarnated upon a majestic continent rising from the azure ocean, laying the foundation for a legendary civilization: Atlantis.
He became its first High Pontiff—an Enlightened One who spread divine truth, bringing the light of celestial wisdom, art, and sacred law to the mortal realm. The people honored his name as their savior and the supreme teacher of their era.
Palaces built of polished stone rose into the clouds, their walls carved with grand sagas of the cosmic dawn and the feats of the gods. Cultivation spires hundreds of meters high pierced the sky, serving as holy sanctuaries where grand Daoists sat in deep meditation, decoding the secrets of the stars and connecting directly with higher dimensions.
In every season, the sacred peach blossom—the national symbol of Atlantis—bloomed in breathtaking brilliance. White petals with golden centers lined marble avenues and crystalline gardens.
The people of Atlantis, the ancient Anaye, possessed hair of pure gold, alabaster skin, and eyes as blue as the ocean depths. Clad in flowing robes of gold and white, they lived in a harmonious society where Xinxing was held as the highest virtue, and every soul sought spiritual elevation.
The Pinnacle of the Golden Empire
The armies of Atlantis were unmatched, relying on innate supernatural powers and sacred beasts summoned from higher dimensions:
❖ Sky-dragons soared through the clouds, guarding the realm;
❖ Holy knights rode steeds twice the size of mortal horses;
❖ Every battle was a hymn of triumph—an echo of Apollo’s authority.
The empire reached the absolute pinnacle of prosperity. Merchant ships carrying silks and bountiful harvests—including giant potatoes weighing up to two kilograms each—spread abundance across continents.
Their medical arts bordered on the miraculous; healers crafted elixirs capable of cleansing fatal ailments, extending life, and restoring vitality by aligning human energy with cosmic laws. Moral integrity ran deep, education was sacred, and the language of the realm was ancient Sanskrit—vibrating like the primal song of the universe.
The Deluge and the Legacy
Yet as time turned, the cosmic laws of Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction began their subtle work. Unprecedented luxury and power blinded the later generations, sowing seeds of arrogance and self-interest.
Spiritual practice, once a pure avenue to enlightenment, warped into a political instrument for power. Divine wisdom was clouded by greed, and the triumphant anthem of Atlantis drifted into a mournful strain of decay.
Faced with severe corruption, the guardian deities unleashed a catastrophic deluge according to ancient law. Giant waves tall as clouds roared over the land, and thunder tore the continent asunder, sinking the glorious civilization of Atlantis into the ocean depths in a single night.
Apollo stood upon a precipice, helplessly watching the ocean's fury swallow everything he had built. His golden lyre sang one final time—a tragic elegy for a fallen empire.
Though Atlantis vanished beneath the waves, the music, art, medicine, and wisdom sown by Apollo endured as a subterranean current of divine energy buried deep within history. The souls of Apollo, Diana, and the gods continued through the wheel of rebirth, moving toward the ancient lands of the East to prepare for the final stage: the End Times in the modern world.
Conclusion: The Song Beneath the Waves
Apollo raised a kingdom true,
Where divine wisdom bloomed and grew.
Yet hearts decayed and wild waves rose,
To sleep where cold dark water flows.
