"Listen to the hymn of praise to the gods!"

Hearing the shouts and cheers in her ears, Fedra, a wild woman of the Dionysian Sect, blushed with excitent under the firelight. She clashed the loud, lively cymbals and lit the torches for the night dance, inviting all the people of the city to join in the unrestrained revelry of their nature.
"I call upon Dionysus, the roaring god, with a cry of 'aha',
Of dual nature, Revive from Death, the future king Bacchus,
Mysterious and wild, one with horns, of two forms,
Evergreen ivy-clad, pure, and majestic, the joyful god, with a cry of 'aha'!
You feast on offerings, adorned with grapes, clothed in leaves, celebrating every second year,
Immortal ruler, ever-living spirit, oh,
Hear speak, kind god, gentle and perfect!
Co down to with your joyful followers!"
Countless people sang and danced along in chorus.

"I call upon the first-born, of dual gender, traversing the heavens, Great God,
He who erged from the egg, his golden wings so radiant,
You roar like a Bull, the origin of the Elysian Divine Tribe and mortals,
Unforgettable sowing, endless worldly revelry, Phanes the Primordial One..."
The Golden Divine Liquid, crystallized by faith, poured into the starry sky of the Sanctuary, collectively forging the stairway for a deity's coronation.
anwhile, within the heart's world.
Lush green grapevines crazily grew at Luo En's feet; clusters of purple grapes burst open, filling the air with an intoxicating wine fragrance.
In a trance, Hecate saw surrounding that figure were heads of various animals: Goat, Great Whale, Bull, Wild Boar, White Horse, Eagle...
He had horns on his head, his hands were twisted with grapevines, and the shape of his feet resembled the hind legs of a goat, reminiscent of Pan's cloven hooves.
If Hecate had read the uncut version of the "Twenty-Four Sacred Words" and the "Divine Chronicle" from a certain secret sect, she would have been amazed to find—all these details matched with the mythic narratives in the Secret To.
That is—Phanes the Primordial One!
And Phanes was the deity who formally replaced Nyx of the three aspects to beco the new sovereign, the divine spirit of the Orphic sect.
The next mont, the [Great Whale] flicked its tail, setting off new giant waves and storms; the [Goat] raced, as swift as lightning; the [Bull] stamped its hooves, and the earth thundered and trembled; the [Wild Boar] unleashed a ferocious roar, charging with its tusks bared; the [Eagle] soared with its wings, whipping up the howl of thunderbolts and storms... Twelve divine essences, twelve incarnations, refined by a cluster of furnace flas, rged with each other, constructing a perfect ring behind him, like a radiant crown!
The towering figure beneath the stars, standing at the top of the glowing staircase, slowly opened his eyes, the divine light in his pupils electric, reflecting the endless Star River and eternal joy.
His magnetic voice, accompanied by the faint chorus of countless people, echoed within the world of the heart, poetic and commanding, majestic and tiless.
"—Hecate, I have ascended to godhood!"
