210, The World of the Nether
Amon gently raised a hand and pointed to the void. "Do you still remember what Mr. Nietzsche looked like?"
A ball of light appeared in the void, and Nietzsche's figure appeared in it. Crazy 'Ole of Duc had disheveled hair, and his messy beard was stained with ashes. His wrinkled face was clear and sharp, but his eyes were clear and sharp, with a bit of ridicule, a bit of cynicism, and a bit of arrogance.
As soon as Seagull saw Crazy 'Ole, he immediately prostrated on the ground and kissed the sand on the beach to salute. The floral robe he wore was very strange, and it did not get wet at all in the waves. Seagull saluted and asked, "You must be the person I've been waiting for, how is the old man?"
Amon wanted to stop him from saluting, but he did not move. He just nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the person you've been waiting for, Nietzsche's student. According to the old man's last wish, I've explored the power of the origin, and I've finally met you!"
As he spoke, he imprinted a piece of information into Seagull's soul, telling him about Crazy 'Ole's last encounter. Seagull was stunned, kneeling on the beach and straightening his body. The inadvertent waves had already soaked his clothes. He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he opened his mouth and bawled like a child!
Don't be fooled by his shy appearance, but his cries were as shocking as rolling thunder. In an instant, waves rolled up along the coast, and a gale blew. The waves hit the reef and scattered into countless water droplets, and the water droplets shot out in the wind like sharp arrows. If Amon did not have the ability to protect himself, he might even be accidentally injured by him.
Hearing the bad news of Crazy 'Ole, Seagull actually cried so sadly. Amon walked over and wanted to comfort him, but as soon as his hand patted Seagull's shoulder, his special sensing ability could feel the grief in his heart, and involuntarily produced a strong resonance in his soul. Amon could not restrain himself and did not want to restrain himself. He actually hugged Seagull and cried, crying so hard that the wind and clouds changed color.
It wasn't that Amon hadn't shed tears before, but after passing the test of endless arising and ceasing cycle, he was no longer so emotional. Witnessing Maria's departure, he had let out a heart-wrenching cry and rushed out of the Garden of Eden with blood spurting out. But so far, he had not shed a single tear. It was as if the thunder that had been suppressed in his heart had always contained a rainstorm that had yet to fall. This suppressed pain had been inexplicably drawn out by Seagull today.
Not only was he crying for Crazy 'Ole, not only was he crying for his loved ones and clansmen, but he was also crying for the sorrow of missing Maria. Not far away, Gabriel did not try to persuade him. He stood in the storm, his golden hair flying in the wind and his eyes moist. After crying for an unknown period of time, it was Seagull who stopped crying first. He patted Amon on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad!"
After the wind and waves calmed down on the beach, the sun was already setting. Amon pulled Seagull up and said, "Thank you, I didn't expect to be able to cry so freely! When people called me Amun, I thought I would never cry again! The Tears of the Gods, the Tears of the Gods, no wonder the gods also have tears! … By the way, you have lived on this island for so many years, haven't you seen anyone else besides Mr. Nietzsche? "
Seagull wiped away his tears and replied, "Yes, just before Mr. Nietzsche arrived, two ships docked, and a group of people with weapons drove a group of people to the island. Then Mr. Nietzsche descended from the sky, waved his staff, and killed all the people with weapons, and then sent the people on the island back to the ship. The ship sailed away, but the old man stayed. I later learned that those people with weapons were pirates who had robbed someone else's ship. It turned out that there were such terrible people in the world. I saw it with my own eyes, so when Mr. Nietzsche warned me later, I was really scared. "
Amon had planned to leave the island and return to Eygut that day, but he accidentally learned about the relationship between Nietzsche and Seagull, so he did not leave that day, but chatted with Seagull for a long time. At sunrise the next day, Gabriel set off with Seagull. They were going to return to the Plains of Duc, and Seagull had already accepted Amon's guidance, and there was another oracle in the Garden of Eden.
Gabriel and Seagull flew away in the light of the sunrise, turning back to wave goodbye to Amon from the clouds. At the time, Gabriel did not know that this was the last time they would meet before Amon truly became a god who transcended eternal life.
… …
Amon crossed the sea again, quietly landed between Rosetta and Butow, and headed south west of the Nile River delta to the city of Montefiore. After returning to Eygut, he heard about the latest decree issued by Pharaoh of Merneptah. It turned out that after being dubbed "assassin", "blasphemous demon", and other temporary titles, he finally enjoyed an official title – "Satan".
Pharaoh already knew his identity, but made an announcement in such a way that no one among the people knew that Satan was actually Amon. Interestingly, in order to explain why Satan had committed that series of crimes, the Empire of Eygut's announcement claimed that the demon that Maria had severely injured was Satan. Whether it was to make Amon the scapegoat for Seth, or to declare that Seth was the demon, no one could say for sure.
Horus had told Amon that Ra had sent down an oracle, and the oracles of the Ennead divine clan would no longer intervene in this matter, and the Empire of Eygut had also ended its martial law in the cities. But this did not mean that they would ignore Satan after discovering him, and if there was a chance to catch him, they would still act, so Amon was still very cautious.
When Amon raided the main shrines of the cities of Eygut, there was one thing that deeply shocked Gabriel, and that was Amon's use of stealth magic. The word "brilliant" might not be enough to describe it, it was simply incredible. Gabriel had never seen a mage use magic like that, and even the other oracles in the world could not think of it.
On the way from one city to another, Amon only ran on foot instead of flying, crossing mountains, rocks, and rivers all the way, but always used stealth magic to hide his tracks, and also summoned the power of the elements to hide the tracks of Gabriel, who was accompanying him. Whether Gabriel was also using stealth magic, no matter how hidden the path he took was, no matter whether there were people around, and no matter whether there might be masters flying in the sky.
This was not a little bit of effort, but a continuous magic that lasted day and night. It seemed simple, but to be able to do it to the extent that Amon had done was already shocking. Gabriel did not know that Amon had passed the test of endless life and death while walking through the Syah Desert, and almost no one had ever tried this method before.
Amon quietly came to the city of Montefiore and found that the magic formation that enveloped the city walls had returned to its normal state. Instead of entering the city, he went around the city to the Nile River, and in the middle of the night, he continued to hide his figure, walked on the water to the middle of the rolling river, and slowly walked down.
The Underworld of the Ennead was at the mouth of the Nile River, and this spatial structure was very understandable, but its portal was far away in Montefiore, and one needed to go down the waves of the Nile River to enter. When Amon walked a hundred miles on the waves, he had entered the delta area, and the river gradually widened into many fan-shaped tributaries, between which were patches of seasonally flooded tidal flats.
Amon waved his hand and threw out the rib of Osiris in a river that did not look very wide, but the tidal flats on both sides were steep and the water was extremely deep. The rib unfolded into a crescent-shaped spatial ship, and Amon boarded the ship, and as if being guided by an invisible force, he followed the current into a strange space in the darkness.
The slender spatial ship drifted with the waves, and suddenly strangely stopped in the middle of the river. The ship did not move, but the river was still flowing. At this time, Amon raised his hand on the ship, knocked forward in the air, and then the ship under the moonlight slowly moved again, and began to disappear from the bow, as if sailing into an invisible world.
This was the scene seen in the human world, but for Amon it was completely different. He suddenly entered another world, and there was still a river under his feet, but the river was flowing backwards. This feeling was very strange, and it took a moment for him to adapt.
It was not that the river was flowing backwards, but that the ship stayed in place as if it was eternally still. The two sides and the river under his feet were like a silent picture, slowly coming towards him, as if it was irresistible from life to death. This picture was three-dimensional, coming and going, and in this world, no matter how he turned around, he could not turn back. As long as he turned his gaze, the picture he saw would move with him, and it was always the same scene.
When Amon entered the Anunnaki Underworld, he only had the fifth-level achievement of the power of two sides, so he could not see these things. Now that he had the ninth-level achievement of the power of origin, he could clearly sense the magical spatial structure of the Underworld, which was different from the Anunnaki Underworld.
The motionless ship gradually drifted away in the silent picture, and the river in front of him forked again to the left and right, with a piece of land in the middle. The ship shook slightly, and the silent picture seemed to come alive again, becoming a spatial world, and his senses returned to "normal". Amon put away the ship, turned back into a bone, and held it in his hand as he boarded the land.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass the door of the Underworld? " A majestic voice suddenly came, and three giant golden dogs appeared in front of Amon. Upon closer inspection, it was not three, but a dog with three heads, its body as tall as a towering palace, and its fur glittered as if made of gold.
Amon stood in front of this dog, looking so small. The huge dog's mouth was spewing a terrifying breath, and it looked like it could bite him to pieces if it lowered its head. Amon, however, showed no fear, looked up and replied: "Typhon, my name is Amon, and I am here to see the god of the underworld."
This three-headed golden dog was Typhon, the gatekeeper of the Underworld. What Amon saw was not him, but a statue standing here. What he saw in the Underworld was very subtle, and what he saw in front of him was an incarnation attached to the statue. Typhon glared at Amon and said: "Come back after you are dead!"
After saying that, Typhon wagged his tail and was about to close the door of the Underworld, but the three heads suddenly froze there. Because Amon had raised the rib in his hand, and a force of spatial displacement locked it in place. He shouted: "Look carefully, this is the rib of Osiris, and I want to return it to the god of the underworld himself!"
Typhon was startled, and his figure shrank rapidly, turning into a big dog as tall as Amon's shoulder. Although it was still huge and terrifying, it was no longer as exaggerated as a palace. The rib of the god of the underworld was also a staff, and Amon had already used magic to prevent Typhon from closing the door of the Underworld. If Typhon did not let him pass, he was ready to break in by force.
Typhon saw what Amon was holding in his hand and roared in astonishment: "Isn't this the ship of the Underworld left by the god of the underworld? How did it end up in your hands?"
Amon replied: "The goddess Isis is no longer here. I got this rib from Bastet, and now I have come to return it to Osiris."
Typhon heard the name Bastet, and his tone softened significantly: "Bastet! Do you know her? She is back, where is she now? "
Amon sighed: "She is also gone." At the same time, he imprinted a piece of information into Typhon's mind, explaining what had happened to Schrödinger.
Typhon was stunned. The concept of time in the Underworld seemed to be stagnant. It could be a moment or a long time. Typhon finally sighed: "How could this be? Why didn't she come back? Why did Osiris do this to her? "
Amon shook his head: "I don't know, I'm afraid I have to ask Osiris in person."
Typhon: "Even if you don't have the ship of the Underworld, I will let you pass because of Bastet. As for whether the god of the underworld will see you or not, that is another matter. … You'd better continue to take the ship of the underworld, it will take you directly to the god of the underworld, otherwise it is easy to get lost in the Underworld. "
After Typhon finished speaking, he slowly disappeared, like a mass of golden light gradually dimming, and the surrounding scenery became a silent three-dimensional picture again. Amon threw the rib into the air and unfolded it into a large ship, and jumped onto the ship. The ship was like an independent space in the Underworld, and the picture began to move again.
Amon stood on the ship, floating in mid-air and drifting forward. Suddenly, he passed through an invisible portal and entered the darkness. Perhaps this was not darkness, but a void without light. In the distance, he saw a light spot in the void gradually expanding and approaching, like the rising sun coming from afar.
The "sun" was not a flame, but a moving scene, a cat fighting with a snake. In the myth of ancient Eygut, the cat represented light, and the snake represented darkness. The invisible ship sailed directly into the "sun", as if entering the light from darkness. Amon immediately realized that the dead souls entered the Underworld through this path to see the god of the underworld. The scene in front of him should be the history of the Ennead, related to the myths and legends of the world, and presented in a way that people could understand.
The appearance of the "sun" in the darkness symbolized the creation and creation of An-Ra, and the establishment of the Ennead. An-Ra's divine kingdom was opened in the void of silence, and he created a divine kingdom to guide the gods in.
The ship entered the "sun", and it was another world. At this time, a message was imprinted in Amon's mind: "The horizon that can only be looked at forever is finally under your feet."
He entered another invisible portal. The horizon was just a concept. People could see the landscape on the horizon, but when they actually walked there, the horizon was still further away, and it could never be reached. The implication of this sentence was that the journey of the world had come to an end. In the myth of Eygut, the soul would wake up after passing through this portal and would await the judgment of the god of the underworld.
Moving forward, a Lotus of the First appeared on the horizon of the wilderness. The ship passed over the lotus, and the horizon disappeared. There was soft light everywhere, and the sky and the earth could not be seen. The wind blowing from the lotus turned into dew and water in the air. The Lotus of the First symbolized An-Ra, and the wind and water symbolized the first two gods guided by An-Ra, "Shu" and "Fu".
The wind blew the water and turned it into a primordial mist, and then the heavens and the earth separated. The next two gods in the Ennead were Geb, known as the god of the earth, and Nut, the god of the sky, which was also a mythical symbol. Then stars appeared in the sky, and all kinds of creatures and cities appeared on the earth. This was the place where each undead lived before they died.
Amon passed through the portals in this way, and the horizon appeared in the distance again. The sun was rising on the horizon, and the ship of the underworld sailed under the sun. Another message was imprinted in Amon's mind: "Leave the light of Horus and enter the world of the god of the underworld. Offer your eyes and heart."
These words sounded quite frightening, but its meaning was naturally understandable. The so-called eyes and heart referred to everything one had seen and felt in one's life. This was already the last portal of the underworld. Although Horus was no longer the king of gods, Osiris did not change the structure of the underworld. This place symbolized the passage from the world ruled by Horus to the underworld ruled by Osiris.
The sun in front of him went out, and he entered a space with only the consciousness of the soul and no physical existence. If it was the soul of the dead who entered the underworld, at this time, all the experiences from birth to death would be clearly replayed. Ksitigarbha had once shown Amon the underworld he had opened up, and this was the beginning of the Barren Light Realm in that instant.
Amon had passed the test of endless arising and ceasing cycle, and he was standing in the space of the ship of the underworld, so naturally, he did not have to experience all this again. Then he walked forward, but he closed his eyes, and in his soul, he saw a "person" coming toward him. It was himself, Amon. With a thought, Amon cast the magic of visualization, transforming the image in his soul into a specific spatial image, and he actually saw a huge scale.
He stood at one end of the scale, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart. Standing opposite him was not only another Amon, but his life experience was divided into two parts, one was himself, and the other was the world outside. In this life, what he did in the world was the true reflection, and there was no need to distinguish whether it was good or evil, as long as he himself bore it!
This was not a battle, but he was facing an almost irresistible opponent. It turned out that in the deepest part of the underworld, Osiris had used a divine artifact to create a space, much like a scale, which was the so-called judgment of the god of the underworld in the world. This was very similar to the "judgment of fate," but it was not a physical power, and it was completely a reflection of feelings, making people face the reality of life unavoidable.
