243. Lotus of the Beginning
Among the successors that Amon had taught in his early years, Abel was one of his favorites, and if there was a chance in the future, Amon would not mind guiding him to become a divine emissary in the Garden of Eden, but Abel was no longer so lucky, and Amon felt it was a pity. When Amon learned about the truth of Abel's death, he had not had the time to pay attention to it, and now that Cain had come to the city of Salem with the diplomatic mission, Amon, who had planned to go to the Divine Kingdom of Aeru, suddenly changed his mind and went to deal with this matter first.
Amon did not show up in the Plains of Duc, but waited until Cain returned to the territory of Bablon and stayed in the town of Arcade for the night before he spoke.
Cain opened his eyes, jumped out of bed, and knelt on the ground and replied in fear and trepidation: "Is it you? My benefactor, my teacher, the god who guides me! I have been looking forward to your appearance day and night. "
Amon's voice replied coldly: "Looking forward to my appearance day and night? When you said this, I could almost see black smoke coming out of your soul! You clearly entered the city of Salem, but you did not even dare to enter my shrine, and you never prayed to me. I came here today just to ask, where is your brother? "
Cain was still hoping for a fluke, and replied in a sad tone: "He is dead, killed in the battle between the Uruk legion and your army. But neither he who is dead nor I who is still alive dared to blame you. I just feel remorseful that I did not fulfill my promise to my father and could not protect him all the time. "
Amon's voice also became sad: "Cain, I once saved you and taught you the power of two sides, and now when I see you again, you even seal your soul when you speak, not wanting me to peek into your true thoughts. You already have a high level of achievement, and yet you were able to do this in front of me!
I saw Abel's blood flowing on the earth, as if it was mourning to me. I already know everything that happened on the battlefield, and if he did die to the enemy's swords and spears, I would feel sorry, but I could not say much. But the attack below his ribs was clearly the power I taught him, and it was executed by his brother! I have my responsibilities, but why did you become so cruel and heartless? "
The color drained from Cain's face at once. He raised his head and shouted, "God, it's not like this..."
He was defending himself loudly, seemingly still kneeling on the ground and speaking to the gods, but what he left behind was an illusory message. He himself had already turned into a dark bloody light and escaped through the window, disappearing into the night at an extremely fast speed. A beam of golden light sprinkled onto the outskirts of Town of Arcade. Cain, whose body had merged with the darkness, suddenly felt a scorching pain. He rolled on the ground and disappeared into the mud.
He ran very fast, but Amon's golden light had already left a mark on his soul. A voice echoed in his mind, "I don't know what kind of power you have cultivated, but you can actually find the source of my guidance and become one with the darkness. I will give you a punishment. You will live in darkness forever, and the light of the sun will turn you into ashes! Even in that endless night, you will face endless pursuit. "
In the sky, Ming Yue Ye stood beside Amon and frowned. "He ran really fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye! Even I, who is known as the Dark Wolf God, have lost his breath at this moment. It was as if he had melted into the darkness. What kind of divine art is this? I have never seen it before. Did you teach him? "
Amon also looked very surprised. He shook his head and said, "I did give him pointers back then, but I have never seen the power he cultivates now. The right path in this world may lead to the same immortality, but no one knows where the wrong path leads. It seems that after he heard that I had become a god, he also yearned for immortality, but I wonder what path he had explored? "
Ming Yue Ye asked, "God, did you call me here to assassinate this man?"
Amon nodded. "I also abide by the agreement between the gods, and do not want to directly attack a mortal. Since you are the best assassin on the continent, then I will leave this man to you. This is the battle between the Bright Night and the Dark Night! I will continue to guide you on how to control and use that violent power, it can even become a kind of inheritance, and your successor will forever pursue that so-called dark immortality. This is the task I have given you, and if you have done it, come back to me. "
Ming Yue Ye saluted Amon on the clouds and jumped into the dark wilderness, like an agile beast to track the traces of Cain, and soon disappeared into the night. Amon sighed softly, and his whole body emitted a faint golden light as he stepped into the immortality.
… …
The disposal of Cain was just a small interlude. The main purpose of Amon's departure from the Garden of Eden this time was to visit the Ennead of Ra. Before he became a god, he had cut down the statues of Seth in the main temples of more than a dozen cities in Eygut. Although Seth is still the Lord God of the Ennead Pantheon's Human God Realm, his position in the hearts of the people has collapsed.
Everything could change with the passage of time, and one day history would be forgotten, and as long as Seth still stood on the altar, myths and legends could even be tampered with. But Amon did not want to give him this chance to breathe. When Amon had just become a god, Seth and Enril were waiting at the mouth of the Nile River in an attempt to cut him down.
Now that Enril had fallen, how could Amon let Seth go? He was not afraid of him when he had not become a god, and now that he had become a god who had transcended eternal life and was much stronger than before, it was even less possible for him to be afraid of him. But if he wanted to find Seth, he had to go to the divine kingdom of the Ennead. In addition to revenge, Amon wanted to see another legendary god of creation, Ra.
He already knew what kind of oracle Ra had sent, ordering the emissaries of the Ennead not to bother with Amon anymore, and to let Seth solve the matter himself. This made Amon very curious and wanted to thank him in person.
It was not difficult to go to the divine kingdom of Ra. The most important magic that Amon practiced was the secret of the Temple of Isis, and it was by relying on the "Guardian of Isis" that he successfully passed the final test. The Gods' Tear, which had been refined by the previous Saintesses, had strangely fused with his body and mind. As long as he activated the vow contained in the golden light and wanted to go there, he would naturally receive a kind of guidance.
Amon stepped into the eternity of immortality, waved his hand in the empty void, and the golden light that shrouded his body scattered, forming a golden belt of light that seemed to lead to an unknown infinity, and the end of the light belt seemed to be right in front of him. It was like a golden river that kept flowing from the "past" to the "future", and Amon stood still in the "present", welcoming the arrival of the source.
A huge Lotus of the Beginning appeared in the void, like two hands opened together, holding a red sun in the heart of the flower, and the golden river gushed out from the heart of the flower under the sun.
Amon suddenly saw the appearance of the lotus and the red sun in the empty space, and the scene in his soul was no different from what he saw in his body and mind at this moment. The golden light that shrouded his body seemed to be guided, and the red sun in the extreme distance suddenly became extremely close, swallowing Amon.
His body was swallowed by the red sun, but it did not feel hot. There was a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then there was light again, and he actually appeared in a familiar world of mountains and rivers. The scene here was very similar to the upper reaches of the Nile River in the northern part of the Empire of Eygut. The Nile River meandered through the mountains, forming waterfalls, and finally flowed into the plains and valleys, where what should have been a desert became a beautiful grassland.
The place where Amon appeared was above the sixth waterfall of the river, where palaces were distributed along the valleys on both sides of the river, very similar to the layout of the Aeru in the human world, but the spatial distance was much greater. It seemed that this was the scene of daytime in the human world, the light was soft and not dazzling, as if wrapping everything without leaving a trace of shadow, but when he looked up, he could not see the sun, but a starry sky.
As soon as he appeared in the Aeru Divine Kingdom, he heard an angry and frightened voice coming from a palace below: "Amon, this is Amon, how can he appear in the Aeru Divine Kingdom!"
The voices of several gods came from different palaces: "Since he can come, he can come!"
Seth still shouted: "But he did not join the Aeru divine clan, he is not a god in this divine kingdom!"
Another mocking voice said: "Amon did not believe in you, the Archangel, but he still entered the shrine and cut down your statue! The divine kingdom cannot stop the arrival of gods outside the divine clan, as long as he can understand the belief of this divine clan in the human world. Amon is a guest of Ra, he does not need your invitation. "
When Amon heard Seth's voice, his anger rose and he was about to pounce on him to force him to show himself, but the words of the gods suddenly faded away. The mountains and rivers of this divine kingdom began to move, and Amon seemed to become the only static existence in this world. The shift of heaven and earth brought him to the source of the river in an instant, and when everything was still again, Amon saw a huge lotus flower.
This lotus was almost exactly the same as the Lotus of the Absolute Beginning he saw in the Eternal World. The Nile River in the Divine Kingdom flowed out from the center of the flower. At the heart of the flower, where the red sun was originally, sat a man who nodded to him and smiled: "I am Ra, the creator of the Ennead divine clan. Amon, I have been waiting for you, and you have finally come! "
Amon stood in the void above the river, face to face with Ra, who was sitting in the heart of the flower. It seemed that he could take a step towards her, but this short distance seemed infinitely far in his soul, as if he could never reach the petal. There was an invisible vortex of chaos outside this lotus flower, which was the reason why Amon felt unable to approach it.
Amon bowed to Ra and said: "Respected creator, I did not expect you to look so young!"
Ra, who was sitting in the heart of the flower, turned out to be a teenager of only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very handsome, and his skin was slightly brown. Amon even had a sense of déjà vu. He wore a high crown on his head, and the top of the crown was decorated with a sun. Outside his figure was the invisible vortex of chaos, as if it was impossible to distinguish between light and darkness. Even with the detection magic of the gods, they could not perceive anything, and could only see the god through the unknown.
Hearing Amon's words, Ra smiled: "Do you feel curious or surprised? I am afraid that Anu and I are the earliest gods born on the continent, and we each founded the oldest divine clans. What you see of me is the state of mind of the gods. "
He raised his hand again and pointed to the divine kingdom on both sides of the river: "Opening up the world of the soul in the immortal eternity, unfolding the mountains and rivers of time and space from nothing, just like a person going from childhood to adulthood, opening his eyes to see the world, learning, perceiving, comprehending, and creating everything. If you had come two thousand years earlier, you would have seen me as a child, with eyes full of curiosity, as if all the unknowns were possible. "
Amon nodded and said: "So that's how it is! You just said that you have been waiting for me, is there anything else? I am here for Seth, and you should know my purpose. "
Ra said calmly: "Without my permission, no god can fight in my divine kingdom, but Seth has caused these things himself, and he should be allowed to bear the consequences himself. I will give you a chance to deal with him alone, but don't forget one thing, if you want to cut him down, you must be prepared to be cut down yourself. "
Amon replied: "I was prepared for this long before I became a god, but I am afraid that Seth will not bear the price."
Ra nodded and said: "Yes, I know Seth. You would rather risk being cut down to cut him down, but he does not want to lose his eternal life because of you, and he is not willing to take the risk even if there is a glimmer of possibility. I know his wish, he wants to be another god of creation, but this wish is impossible to achieve. Your coming here is the consequence of what he has done, and if you can't even face this, how can you pursue a higher realm?
If you want me to agree to you duel with him in my divine kingdom, there must be a condition, and that is, you must have the achievement of the Creator. Otherwise, if he escapes from the divine kingdom, it will be difficult for you to find him. But if you have the achievement of the Creator, no matter where he is, I can guide you to him in an instant. After all, I am the creator of this divine clan, and I have guided all the gods in the divine clan, so I can still do this. "
Amon was stunned. "Why do you make such a condition?"
Ra: "You came to my divine kingdom and tried to cut down one of my gods, shouldn't you work hard and pay the price? I have sent down a divine decree so that all the divine emissaries on earth will no longer make things difficult for you, and if you duel with Seth somewhere else outside the divine kingdom, it will have nothing to do with me. "
Amon explained: "I don't think you are making things difficult for me, on the contrary, I think you are even helping me, and I want to express my gratitude. I just find it a little strange, why do you want me to become the Creator? "
Ra laughed again. "What Seth has done has caused harm to the Ennead, and although I can't leave here, I also know what has happened on earth, and the stories about you that have been circulating. You have become a god and have eternal time, and as long as you have a vow, you can wait for that day. You are not even afraid of being cut down, are you afraid of pursuing a higher realm? "
Amon shook his head and said: "Forgive me, but I still don't quite understand, why do you want me to pursue a higher realm?"
Ra said unhurriedly: "It is because I understand your experience that I am very curious and concerned about you. Perhaps you are the one I am waiting for, and the one Anu is waiting for. When you stand in front of me as a god, I am even more convinced of this! As far as I know, you have not joined the Anunnaki, but Anu will want to talk to you just as much as I do. Haven't you seen him? "
For the first time since becoming a god, Amon felt confused, and he asked in puzzlement: "Respected God of Creation, don't you know that Anu has left the divine kingdom?"
This time it was Ra's turn to show a look of shock, and he actually stood up from the lotus. The invisible chaos surrounding the lotus disappeared, and Amon only saw a blur before his eyes, and suddenly he was standing beside Ra. It turned out that the lotus had unfolded inexplicably, and a petal stretched out at his feet, guiding him to it.
Ra made a gesture, inviting Amon to sit on the petal, and said in a pleading tone: "Please sit down and talk, how could Anu leave the divine kingdom? I ask you to tell me everything you know. "
Amon told Ra everything he knew about Anu, all of which was relayed by Mourin. The communication between the gods was naturally magical, and Ra seemed to have personally experienced what happened in the divine kingdom of Anunnaki. He sat on the lotus and fell into contemplation.
Amon asked curiously: "You are the same ancient god of creation as Anu, how could you not know anything about him?"
Ra looked up from his contemplation and sighed: "Even the gods of Anunnaki don't know anything about him, so how could I know? I can't leave the divine kingdom of Aeru, and naturally it's impossible for me to visit him in the divine kingdom of Anunnaki. I am in the divine kingdom and can also understand everything that happens on earth, through the eyes of the statues and the prayers of the people to me, as well as the spiritual imprints of the gods that are integrated into the divine kingdom. Your story is spread among the mortals and the gods, of course I know, but it is impossible for anyone to mention the matter of Anu. "
After saying this, Ra looked at the unknown void and muttered to himself: "As the oldest god of creation on the continent, Anu is one step ahead of me. He actually used this method, which may be another attempt to avoid the test. This may be a detour, but he won't understand unless he tries it. "
As he spoke, Ra raised a hand and stretched out a finger. There was a look of surprise in Amon's eyes as he saw a palm-sized lotus flower appear out of thin air above Ra's fingertips, exactly the same as the one he was sitting on, and it was still rotating slowly in the void, with a small red sun in the center of the flower.
