With a snap of Anu's fingers, the colors on the chessboard changed, and the Kingdom of Borz annexed Hittite, Yavi and Bablon.
On the continent, only the Empire of Eygut was left to fight against Borz. Then he shook his head and sighed. "Marduc defeated Anunnaki, and the next one to face is the Ennead. If the situation continues to develop like this, the Empire of Eygut will not be a match for Borz. Amon, do you see anything? "
Amon sighed. "Pulling one hair will affect the whole body. Going back in time, the upheaval in the continent was foreshadowed by the Pharaohs Of Eygut Lasith II's expedition to Hittite."
This period of history was also Amon's personal experience on earth, and it accompanied him as he grew up. In a sense, if it had not been for Lasith II's expedition, and the timely recommendation of Amon by the Adoratrice Maria as the Head of the Legion, giving him the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds and rescue his people, Amon would not have become what he is today.
That war foreshadowed the decline of the Empire of Eygut from prosperity to prosperity, and Hittite took the opportunity to escape the fate of submitting to Eygut, and the appearance of Amon could be said to have turned the tide for the defeated Empire of Eygut. The real protagonists of that war were not the Pharaohs Of Eygut Lasith II and King Lucier of Hittite, but Amon and Goliath, and perhaps also Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
Many things happened after that, and although Goliath made achievements on the battlefield, his actions were tantamount to preventing a larger war between the countries of the continent. The next most important thing was the rise of the Assyrian Empire, and the expansion of Great Emperor Sinnach, whose purpose was not only to conquer Bablon but also to annex the Plains of Duc.
It could be clearly seen that Enril was behind all this. This god wanted to use Emperor Shinnach's ambition to completely defeat Marqik and complete the unification of the Anunnaki divine realm. But this plot was thwarted with the assassination of Sinach, and even Enril himself was eventually killed by Marduc. On the other hand, Marduc took this opportunity to break through to a higher level and left the Anunnaki divine clan.
Sinnach's conquest not only indirectly contributed to the rapid rise of the Kingdom of Potsdam, but it also severely weakened the power of Bablon and Assyr. Bablon lost six city-states, and although the Assyr Empire was strong for a time, it had overdrawn its future power and sowed the seeds of decline. In this series of changes, Goliath's figure could always be seen turning the tide.
No matter how well Goliath did, he still failed in the end. This was not Goliath's failure, but the overall decline of the countries of the continent, among which the only one that remained strong was Hittite. So it was not unreasonable for the Kingdom of Potsdam to go far and conquer Hittite first. Once Hittite was destroyed, the countries of the continent would no longer be able to compete with Potsdam.
Anu, however, pointed to the Empire of Eygut on the chessboard and shook his head. "I am not talking about the beginning of a war on earth, but about the wishes of the gods. If Hittite, Assyr, and Bablon are all destroyed, Potsdam will become an unprecedented great empire, and what Cyrus achieved was even greater than Sinnach's ambitions. If he advances and defeats Eygut, the divine realm of the Ennead will also be annexed by Marduc. Does such a situation remind you of a legend? "
Amon frowned. "Could it be the legend of the god of the gods? When the Plains of Duc become a fertile land again, the god of the gods will be born? "
Anu nodded. "Yes."
What Enril did, what Marduc is doing now, and even Seth's ambitions back then, are more or less related to the legendary god of the gods. And the struggle between the countries of the continent also revolves around the Plains of Duc, and the original purpose of Lasith Ii's expedition was to seize the Plains of Duc. The gods have the purposes of the gods, and the kings and kingdoms of the world also have their own ambitions and desires, either guided by the gods or in the name of the gods.
Amon asked in confusion, "Of course I have heard of this legend, but how did it first come down to us?"
Anu let out a long sigh. "It is a prophecy, a prophecy left behind by a god before she fell. She was the first god to be forced to kill herself since the creation of the divine clans of the continent, Tiamat, who fell in the war of the gods."
Amon was slightly taken aback. "This is Tiamat's last words! I don't know its origin, not even Mourrin. Tiamat's last words were not left in vain, and although she was forced to kill herself, Enril, the leader of the strategists who forced her, could also be said to have been killed by this prophecy a thousand years later.
I just find it strange, as a god who transcends eternal life, would she still believe in such a prophecy? "
Anu imprinted a message in Amon's soul, which was the desolate voice that echoed between heaven and earth when Tiamat was forced to kill herself a thousand years ago: "O gods before me, how ridiculous you are, turning this wilderness into a scorched wasteland, it symbolizes the fallen gods, and it also symbolizes your fate. You have seized the realm of the source of divine power and think that it is the victory of the gods, but such a divine clan will also be buried like the gods.
I leave today, when this wilderness is rejuvenated and becomes fertile again, the god of the gods will come, and the continent will no longer have such divine clans and gods like you. Everything is over, I bid you farewell! Enril, my fate today is your future. There are still unknown achievements above the gods, and the gods will no longer be the gods. "
Anu relayed Tiamat's prophecy and sighed again. "This prophecy doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, Amon, you are also a god, and the prophecy of the gods is not the nonsense of mortals. Tiamat was the first god to kill herself since there were gods in the continent, and I once gave her the Book of Destiny, hoping that she could replace me as the Lord of the Divine Kingdom.
At that time, her achievements were infinitely close to the God of Creation, but she was thinking about whether she could seek a higher realm, a realm beyond the God of Creation, and the war of the gods broke out at that time, and she fell. Her prophecy only pointed out a path, the possible change and destination of the divine clan at that time, so the fulfillment of this prophecy was not to prove the truth of Tiamat's words, but the self-verification of the gods. "
Amon said thoughtfully, "Yes! At that time, no one knew what realm and achievements were above the God of Creation, and what methods could be used to verify it? So the prophecy of the god of the gods became a way, and Tiamat was at least right about one thing, she did have a higher achievement than the God of Creation, and now Zeus and Marduc have verified this. And looking at what Marduc did, he wanted to continue to verify the god of the gods in the prophecy. "
Anu, however, looked at him and shook his head gently. "Now it is not only Zeus and Marduc who have proven themselves beyond the realm of the God of Creation, but also you, Amon!"
Amon smiled bitterly. "I have indeed broken through the realm of the God of Creation, but I am still in the midst of a muddled search, and there are still many questions I would like to ask you. I am not sure about Marduc's situation, but I have not verified the achievements of Zeus. I heard that he created the Kingdom of Olympus, not only merging the world of the previous God of Creation, but also often leaving the divine realm to wander around. "
Anu waved his hand. "You want to ask me for advice? I also want to ask you for advice! These are exactly what I am interested in. The Kingdom of Olympus created by Zeus was able to merge the divine realm of the previous God of Creation, and if anyone can do it, it should be you. "Amon shook his head." I don't know if I can do it, at least not yet. "
Anu leaned forward and said, "How did you seek confirmation and break through? Can you tell me your secret? "
Amon smiled. "If someone else had asked me, I wouldn't have answered. Firstly, it's because the level of accumulation and attainment in my soul have not reached that level, so it's useless to answer. Secondly, it's because I don't have to tell unrelated people. But if you ask, I will not hold back, not only because I have obtained the Scroll of Destiny, but also because you are Goliath. "
He reached out and pointed between Anu's eyebrows, and the ancient God of Creation closed his eyes and fell into contemplation, as if experiencing and recalling something, and a look of realization and regret appeared on his face. Amon's voice was heard again. "The end of human desires is the achievement of the God of Creation.
If this is what you seek, this path is the end of the search for the gods, and there is no higher realm. "
After a long time, Anu finally opened his eyes and said, "If it is the right path, the God of Creation is indeed the end. If there is a higher realm of pursuit, the search for the God of Creation is a wrong path. "
The meaning of this sentence was a bit complicated. The cultivation of the gods was similar to the cultivation of the human world in a sense. There may be only a few right paths to immortality in the human world, but there were countless wrong paths. After becoming a god, according to the guidance of the existing pantheon, the God of Creation was the end of the achievement of the gods. But in the eyes of Amon, it was equivalent to a fork in the road, and there was no way to go forward.
If the pursuit of becoming a god was like this, then it did not matter if it was a fork in the road. If the pursuit of the God of Creation was regarded as the right path, then this was the end of the achievement, with the world and pantheon that one had created.
The achievements of the God of Creation were higher than those of the Creator, and of course, they had to pay more. The earliest Anu and Anu had the vow to create a divine kingdom and guide the gods and establish a pantheon, and they had sought to prove this realm. Since they had established a pantheon, there was a promise and a responsibility to give the gods a divine kingdom that they yearned for.
Anu murmured, "Is it that simple? A mistake of a thought! "
Amon nodded. "It's that simple, just a thought! Because of the different vows, my current achievements did not surpass yours or Anu's, but I have embarked on another path, and I am still in the process of exploring it. "
Anu lowered his head and muttered to himself, "But I can't be considered to have taken a wrong path, because I am the Creator. Back then, I sought to prove a higher achievement than the Creator. There was no god who could guide me on what it should be, and I became the Creator."
Amon comforted him. "You finally understand today that this path has come to an end. If I hadn't witnessed a pantheon like Anunnaki and had a different vow in my soul, maybe I would have reached your point. "
Anu said sadly. "I finally know the answer. The choice back then was only a thought, and it is impossible for me to make a new choice. It's like playing chess, the piece has been decided, and there is no way to go back on it! "
What were these two talking about? If it were an ordinary god, he would probably not understand. Amon told Anu through his own experience that if he wanted to pursue a higher realm than the God of Creation, he should not have become the God of Creation that he is today in his vow. Amon had established a divine kingdom in an indestructible eternity, and had already achieved the same achievement as Anu, but he did not have the vow to become such a God of Creation at all, so he simply gave up on the divine kingdom.
Amon had witnessed the pantheon of today and understood the pursuit of the gods and the achievements and realms they had achieved, which was why he had made such a vow. But Anu was different back then. He was a pioneer, and he broke through the achievements of the Creator to become a God of Creation. He did not want to give up at all, nor did he know that there was another path after giving up.
So both gods said, "Let's just do it." But was it really that simple? To have a world of one's own creation, to guide the gods who transcend eternal life to establish a pantheon and enjoy an eternal divine kingdom, and as the pantheon grew stronger, the knowledge of cultivation would continue to merge, and this divine kingdom would become more and more colorful. In theory, the growth was unlimited, so who would give up and not even try?
This was a choice that could only be made with a firm vow and a strong soul! In terms of current achievements alone, Amon did not surpass Anu, but he had opened another door and could continue to seek a higher realm. As for whether it would be the same achievement as Zeus, it was not clear at present. There was no visible path ahead, and the only way out was to walk.
Anu knew the answer from Amon. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't turn back."
But Amon shook his head. "There is nothing that can't be turned back. When people say this, they are often measuring how great the price is, whether they can bear it or are they willing to bear it? The greatest price people can pay is everything they have. "
Anu nodded and said: "Yes, this truth is simple, give up the divine kingdom, and the Creator can leave. It is possible for you, but you did not make such a vow to create such a pantheon, and you did not make such a promise. If I make this vow to destroy the Anunnaki divine kingdom, because of the promise of creating a pantheon, I will also be destroying myself at the same time, which is tantamount to killing myself like Tiamat. "
Amon also sighed. "Yes, you wanted to know the answer I sought, but you did not expect it to be this kind of answer, did you? If you make such a vow, it is tantamount to destroying the Anunnaki divine kingdom, and it is tantamount to your own death. And you are now the king of the Anunnaki divine kingdom, and the pantheon of Anunnaki still exists, the gods can continue to guide the divine emissaries, and the lost divine realm may one day be restored. "
Anu looked at Amon, and gradually smiled again. Suddenly he blinked and said: "Actually, I have another choice, but this choice requires your help, and the reason why I came to you is also related to this.
Amon: "Oh, how can I help you?"
Anu: "If one day you can prove the realm similar to Zeus, you can create your own world, integrate it with the Anunnaki divine kingdom, and retain and inherit everything. At that time, the Anunnaki divine kingdom will still exist, but it will be integrated into your divine kingdom, and the gods will become angels who believe in Amun, and it will not be counted as me breaking the promise of creating a pantheon, and I can make an oath to prove it again. "
Amon was slightly surprised. "You actually think so? But do you know, even if I am willing to help you, how many conditions must be met? "
Not to mention whether Amon was willing to help Anu, if he could really do this, then the conditions needed to be met would be unimaginably complex even for the gods. First, for Amon to have such an achievement, he must be able to do it one day.
Second, the gods of Anunnaki must also be willing to become angels who accept the guidance of Amon.
Third, Amon must be able to guide the gods to a higher realm on another path.
Fourth, Anu must also make a successful breakthrough and make a vow to prove a certain realm, which even Amon could not help him with. At least for now, Anu could not do this, and even Amon did not know how Anu should practice and prove himself in order to take this step.
Anu said: "Of course I know that it is difficult to fulfill this wish, and it seems impossible. But when you were a child in Duc, could you have imagined that you would become the Amun of today? Before becoming a god, you have already made a different vow, so the integration of the Anunnaki Divine Kingdom can be included in your vow to continue forward.
I just want to ask, to make an agreement with you. When it can be realized in the future, please integrate with my divine kingdom and help me continue to fulfill my promise to guide the gods to enjoy the Eternal Divine Kingdom. And you are not without gain, you will enjoy and inherit the Anunnaki Divine Kingdom, and what I give up will also be what you gain. "
Amon said thoughtfully: "Why do you want to do this? As a god of creation, you don't have to do this at all."
This question was also very reasonable, and in a sense, Anu's idea was completely unnecessary. Many of the gods living in the Eternal Divine Kingdom did not pursue a higher realm, and even if they did, it would be to become a creator or a god of creation. With an eternal world created by a soul, was there any need to pursue anything else?
Even if Anu did nothing, even if the divine realm of the Anunnaki divine clan on earth was completely occupied by Marduc, the Anunnaki Divine Kingdom would still exist, and Anu would not lose anything. In the long years of history, the world had risen and fallen, and the Kingdom of Bosz could not be so strong forever, and the people could not always believe in Marduc as the main god, so there was still hope of restoring the divine realm.
Anu, on the other hand, had to give up everything he had and start all over again. Amon could only help him continue to fulfill his promise to the gods, but Anu himself had to take the risk of dying, and even the path of seeking proof was unknown. So why bother?
Anu replied very calmly: "Because my wish has been made." This sentence broke through thousands of words, and Amon had nothing more to say.
However, Anu asked Amon in return: "If you want to know why I have such a wish, this is a question that the gods of creation cannot answer, but you can ask yourself. ~
Why did you make such a vow back then, not to become a god of creation like me, not to establish a divine clan like the Anunnaki? "
