Atlantis Volume 1: Sunset over the Western Sea

The novel "Atlantis" is based on the research content of the book "Secrets of the Great Western Kingdom Revealed", with the most glorious Great Western Civilization in prehistory (the Atlantis Civilization) as the background of the story, and a series of memory fragments from ancient myths and legends as the theme. The story takes place about 500 years after the Great Flood of the Western Sea. The Daxi Kingdom, a great country with "three seedlings, nine lilies, and an alliance of ten kings" founded by Shen Nong, the one emperor through the ages, has ushered in its third glory since its civilization, becoming a great civilization that was extremely developed in prehistoric times, but also had barbarian characteristics. The protagonist in the story is the sixteenth generation king of this country, known as the "Ninth Sun". During his reign, he did two major things: The first is to "measure the terrain and map the sea routes". It carried out mankind's first prehistoric geographical survey, determined the four ends of the earth, established three overseas continents, built a sacred place for sun worship, and became a country where "the sun and the moon never set". Secondly, he personally led a major reform called "Jedi Bongtian" which abolished "human sacrifice" and replaced it with plain offerings of flowers, fruits, grains and jade to worship ancestors and gods. The content of the first volume of this book mainly revolves around the main line of the "Meat Offering" reform of "Jedi Tiantong": With the support and help of the heroine in the story, this reform that saved thousands of lives finally broke through the obstruction of conservative forces and was launched across the country. However, the representatives of the conservative forces were not willing to fail. In collusion with the careerists, they adopted a series of conspiracy tricks and suddenly launched an attack at a grand celebration. They used the most despicable and shameless means to cause the hero and heroine to "have a one-night stand." But an accidental incident in the middle of the night saved the two of them, and also saved the reform of the grain sacrifice, and the coup attempt of the conspirators after dawn finally failed. However, the conspirators were not reconciled, and continued to take advantage of various opportunities to carry out various conspiracies and tricks, hoping to restore "human sacrifice" and cause chaos in the world. As the opposing sides engage in life-and-death battles again and again, the entire country is plunged into a crisis of division and turmoil. In order to prevent this great country from falling into division and the people from suffering, the heroine took the initiative to give her life and sacrifice herself. Suffering this severe blow, the monarch became ill and had no interest in state affairs. The conspirators were finally ready to openly rebel. At the critical moment, with the help of strangers in the world, the monarch finally cheered up and used the power of the king to smash the conspirators' plot to bring chaos to the world. However, in order to completely eliminate the unstable factors of national division and safeguard the reform results of the "Meat Offering", the monarch decided to personally cross the East China Sea to pilgrimage to the overseas fusang land to pray for the sun, not only for the country and its people, but also for the "resurrection" of his lover... The tragic journey and results of King Yang Fan's thirteen-year pilgrimage to the sun across the East China Sea will be a new legendary story and the beginning of the rise of a new era...
