183 、 You Are Not the Only Genius
As soon as Vincent Bo was sent away, Mourin appeared two steps away from Amon, looking at him with a smile. Her pretty red lips were slightly pouting, and there seemed to be some anger in her smile. She was not holding an ivy staff, nor was she wearing a golden crown on her head. Her long brown hair was loose, and she wore a lapis lazuli necklace on her chest. She was wearing a cotton dress with indigo stripes, which Amon had bought for her in Som for sixty copper coins.
She did not appear as a goddess. Apart from the necklace, the girl in front of him was the shepherdess slave Yoon Namna that Amon had met. Amon was also looking at her. He was half a head taller than her, and he lowered his eyes slightly with a smile on his face. The two of them smiled at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke. It seemed that there was no need to say anything more. The seemingly impossible promise had now been fulfilled by Amon.
In the small building in the distance, Gabriel saw this scene and turned away from the window. It was hard to guess how people would react when they saw a real god for the first time. Gabriel had believed in the Ennead since she was a child, but for mortals, there was always an indescribable awe when they saw a real god.
But Gabriel was different. She was not afraid. It was the first time in her life that the warrior had seen a real god. Her shock and confusion were indescribable, but she turned away and stopped looking. Perhaps she did not want to disturb the two people talking, and Amon did not need anyone to protect him.
After a long time, Yoon Namna suddenly glared at Amon, took two steps forward, hugged his arm, and leaned her head gently on his shoulder. She said in a slightly resentful tone, "Amon, you are so bad!"
Amon was stunned. He could not understand how he was bad. The tone of the goddess sounded like she was acting coquettishly. Even though Amon had experienced countless storms and dangers, he did not have much experience dealing with women acting coquettishly, let alone a goddess. The goddess's hair tickled his earlobe and neck. Amon lowered his head and asked, "Did I do something wrong? Guiding people to build cities in the Plains of Duc and building shrines for you, that was my promise back then, and now you see it fulfilled. "
Yoon Nam-na leaned into Amon's arms. She grabbed one of his hands and put it around her waist. "Have you ever seen a shrine like that?"
Amon smiled a little embarrassedly. "I didn't expect them to build the statue like that. If you're not satisfied, I can let them rebuild it."
Yoon Nam-na: "I didn't say I wasn't satisfied. That's how I appeared back then. It's the position we're in now."
Amon: "If that's the case, why are you saying that I'm bad?"
Yoon Nam-na giggled. "It's not that I want to scold you, but the appearance of such a shrine in the Plains of Duc would probably make some gods' noses crooked with anger!"
Amon: "As long as you don't have any objections, I've been out of the Eygut for so long, and you've only shown up now, was it because you were waiting for me to fulfill my promise?"
Yoon Nam-na: "Yes, I was waiting for this day, I really didn't misjudge you! You did something that shocked the world, and today you surprised me again! "
Amon: "What's wrong? Wasn't today's ritual expected by you? "
Yoon Nam-na: "You actually hugged me on the altar! This shows that you have passed the test of endless life and death, have achieved the ninth level of the power of origin, have comprehended the domain of the source of divine power, and can share this divine realm with me. "
Amon smiled. "That's an unexpected gain, if you mind, I can leave that statue, I didn't expect this when I first made the promise."
Yoon Nam-na clenched her fist and hit him lightly in the chest. "I didn't say I didn't want to, you deserve this! I've been trying to guide you, I didn't expect you to already accept guidance, why didn't you tell me? "
Amon: "You haven't seen me, how could I have told you?"
Yoon Nam-na: "Which god did you receive guidance from? This must be approved by the main god of the divine clan, could it be that you joined the Ennead? In any case, I'm very happy that you have joined the divine clan and don't need to get the secret of becoming a god from me, but you still built a shrine for me and returned my divine realm. This is what I'm most grateful for, but I also feel that it's a bit of a pity. "
Amon asked: "What's a pity?"
Yoon Nam-na raised her face in front of his chest and smiled playfully. "It's a pity that I wasn't the one who guided you and couldn't make you make a vow to me."
Her face was so close that Amon could kiss her lips if he lowered his head, but he sighed softly and said: "Is the meaning of that kind of vow what you want? I've seen the Scorpion King and the Lion King, and the vow is still there, but Tiamat, who guided them to join the Anunnaki divine clan, has long since fallen. "
Yoon Nam-na stepped on his foot. "It's just a joke, look at you being serious! Can you tell me who guided you to join which Divine Branch? " … I don't want to force out your secrets, but if you are the emissary of the Ennead, your statue cannot appear here, because from today on, this is also your domain of the source of divine power. "
Amon replied: "I'm not the emissary of the Ennead, to tell you the truth, I didn't join any divine clan."
He was telling the truth, and Yoon Nam-na could hear it. She stood up straight in surprise and looked at him. "So what's going on? Did that cat tell you the secret? Bastet fell because she violated the vow, why would she do that? "
Amon showed a sad look and shook his head. "She didn't fall because she violated the vow, she left to be free. As for the power of the origin, I comprehended it myself, and if there is any unknown secret that she once told me, it is the test of fate, the judgment of the end. Before Schrödinger left, he opened his spiritual imprint to me. Yoon Nam-na, did you already know the origin of the cat beside me? "
Yoon Nam-na lowered her head and said: "I didn't notice the cat at first, and when I met you in Som, I didn't even know it was by your side. Later, Bastet appeared to separate the Red Sea for Moses and the others, and only then did I know that she had been by your side. As far as I know, Bastet was once the emissary of the Ennead who was closest to becoming a god, and I didn't expect her to leave just like that. Amon, are you very sad? "
Amon: "I should probably be happy for her, it was a kind of relief, but I was really reluctant to part with her at the time."
Yoon Nam-na hugged Amon's arm again. "It seems that it's not just me who is paying attention to you. You are actually able to comprehend the power of the origin on your own, and there are very few people like this in the history of the continent. The last one to comprehend the power of the origin on his own and become a god was Marduc."
This time it was Amon's turn to be taken aback. "Marduc! He did not receive guidance from the divine clan, but he comprehended the power of the origin on his own and eventually became a god who transcended eternal life? "
Yoon Nam-na nodded. "You are a rare genius, but not the only genius in the world, and the path you can take has been thought of by countless people over the millennia. But even if you understand this secret, it is difficult to train to the end of your limited life, and even if you do reach the end, it is difficult to pass the test of fate and the judgment of the end, and finally become a god who transcends eternal life. You have not done this yet, and before you, Marduc had done it. "
Amon asked puzzledly: "In that case, why did he become one of the two main gods of the Anunnaki divine clan?"
Yoon Nam-na blinked and looked at Amon meaningfully and said: "You are not a true god yet, and you do not understand the world of the gods, and after achieving transcendence and eternal life, what is the meaning of your pursuit? Could it be the boundless emptiness and solitude that was eternal and indestructible? Without the backing of a divine clan, all gods would fall into this confusion.
It was Ea, the god of wisdom in the Anunnaki divine clan, who received Marduc, and Ea was the one who received Marduc after he became a god, not the guide before he became a god, and Marduc eventually joined the Anunnaki divine clan. Such gods were often the most powerful because of their relationship with the gods. Think of Enkidu, what would happen if he became a true god who transcended eternal life?
Marduc was bound by very little by the oath, but he had great power, so he was able to become the main general in the war of the gods. Later, he broke with Enril and eventually split the Anunnaki divine realm into two, becoming another main god. Amon, it is not impossible for you to have such achievements, everything you have done so far has exceeded my expectations. "
Amon spoke after a while: "Do you want me to become another Marduc?"
Mourrin hugged his arm tighter. "I've waited so long for you. You're unique. I want to protect you and wait for you to become a real god who transcends eternal life. Then, I'll be your guide and let you join the divine clan. At that time, everything we have done today will have the greatest meaning, and the Plains of Duc will become an eternal realm for you and me. "
Amon put his other hand on her shoulder: "Yoon Nam-na, you should know me, there is no way I will bow to Enril, and I will never join his divine clan."
Yoon Nam-na: "I know that your heart has long since broken with Enril, but it doesn't matter, I can still receive you to join the Anunnaki divine clan, and if you are already a god, you only need to make a very simple oath. Maybe one day, you will break with the king of gods like Marduc did, but I know that you will not betray me, and that is enough. "
Amon asked in puzzlement: "Why do I have to join the Anunnaki divine clan?"
Yoon Nam-na: "You don't understand now, but when you truly become a god, you will know why? Your divine realm is in the Plains of Duc, and joining the Anunnaki is probably the only choice. I know what the Scorpion King is thinking, he wants to become a true god and establish his own divine clan, but when the time comes, he will realize that it is too unrealistic. Marduc's choice back then has proved this. "
Amon was confused: "I really don't understand, let's talk about it when the time comes, and if I refuse, I hope you will not be disappointed."
Yoon Nam-na resumed her smiling expression and looked at Amon affectionately. "You have not disappointed me! What I said today is not a request, but a wish to repay you. Let's talk about it when you become a god. Since you already understand what it means to be tested by fate and judged by the end of the world, and you have a divine realm, you should think about how to take that last step. Let me help you, okay? "
Amon: "How do you want to help me?"
Yoon Nam-na pointed in the direction of the shrine: "I heard what that man said to you just now, he wanted to guide you to think in another way, and although he did not shake your faith, what he said was quite interesting. You have achieved what you have today, and I am afraid it is not suitable for you to appear on earth like this. "
Amon smiled bitterly: "It is a little inappropriate, people can't tell whether I am Amon or Amun, can't tell whether I am a living person or a god standing on an altar, and every time I appear, it will be regarded as a miracle."
Yoon Nam-na stretched out her finger and poked at his chest. "In fact, you don't need to appear as you used to, the statue is your perception, and if necessary, you will understand what people want and want. If you want to walk on earth, you can do what I used to do. Remember, the shepherdess Yoon Nam-na you helped? "
Amon smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "You still are."
Yoon Nam-na: "You are really rare, no matter who I am, you have never changed. You have more important things to do now, in order to successfully pass the final test, there must be a place where you can practice in peace, even if you will not be disturbed for hundreds of years, absorbing the endless power in the divine realm, and waiting for the final test to come. "
Amon: "A place like Aeru?"
Yoon Nam-na: "The gods of the Anunnaki have their own divine palaces on earth. I will open the Mourrin Divine Palace on the Syah Plateau for you, and when you need to practice, you can go there."
Amon smiled. "I don't want to occupy your divine palace, and I also have my own disciples who need guidance, but I want to see what that so-called divine palace looks like. And then guide my disciples to build one of their own. "
Inanna blinked her eyes. "That's not easy. If you want to, you can give it a try. Can I make a request?"
Amon: "Go ahead."
Yoon Nam-na: "You can enter and exit my divine palace at will, and if you build your own divine palace in the future, when I want to find you, I can also come and go at any time."
Amon simply replied: "No problem, building a divine palace is just my idea, I am afraid I will need your guidance and help. Do you want to take me to your Mourrin Divine Palace now? "
Yoon Nam-na: "If you like, you can also call it Yoon Nam-na's Rose Garden. But there is one more thing you have promised, and so far you have not fulfilled it. Moses and the others have not returned here, they are still lingering on the way. "
Amon thought for a moment. "It was Marduc's conditions that stopped them, I let them choose for themselves, this is the last test before they return home. But I want to tell you, even if they return to Salem, they will no longer believe in Mourin. "
Yoon Nam-na's expression became a little resentful again. "I know very well what the people of the world think, it doesn't matter whether they believe in me or not, my divine palace has been completed in the city of Salem. But this is a bet between me and Enril, and Enril is, after all, the main god of this divine realm, and since an agreement has been made, I must abide by it. "
Amon asked: "What agreement did you make with Enril?"
Yoon Nam-na replied: "After the Great Flood, I wanted to restore the realm of the source of divine power, and I had to go out of Enril's divine realm to find the descendants of Duc. Enril made two bets with me, the first was that there would be such a person, not bewitched by my beauty, and not eating all the bread in my hand, who would come to Enril to redeem what I had lost, and not turn the redemption into a robbery or a renunciation of his promise. It was you who helped me win the bet in Som. "
Amon: "What about the other bet?"
Yoon Nam-na replied faintly: "If the descendants of Duc were to really return home, they would have to go through many hardships, and that would be driven by a strong desire! The one who would lead them to the Plains of Duc must have the strongest courage and the strongest will. The final test of the gods is a price and a sacrifice, to be able to distinguish between one's own selfish desires and ideals, and if this person is willing to give up his own desires in order to fulfill his wish, then Enril will let the people of Duc return home safely. "
Amon frowned and said: "Can you be more clear?"
Yoon Nam-na lowered her head and whispered: "I have made it very clear, Enril's bet is that the leader who leads the people of Duc back home is willing to stay outside the Plains of Duc. This is not coercion, but a sacrifice and price he is willing to pay for the sake of his people. "
Amon's frown deepened: "Why would Enril make such a request?"
Yoon Nam-na's voice became even softer: "Because Enril did not think of one thing, he thought that the people who built the shrine for me would be the descendants of Duc, and that the person who would lead the Duc miners back home must be you. I made this agreement, and at the same time made my own request, if the leader of the Duc miners could voluntarily pay that price in order to fulfill the wishes of his people, then I would guide him to join the Anunnaki divine clan, and Enril agreed. "
Amon suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, the gods' agreement was prepared for me!"
Yoon Nam-na: "Yes, all this was prepared for you, but now it seems ridiculous. The person who built the shrine for me is not a descendant of Duc, and the person who will lead the Duc miners back home is not you, the gods' agreement points to Moses. "
Amon gently released the arm around Yoon Nam-na and said in a deep voice: "This is the agreement between you and Enril, neither I nor Moses has any agreement with Enril, there is no need to abide by anything!"
