According to the traditions of the various divine clans on the continent, only gods who had transcended eternal life could guide the divine emissaries on earth, and only by becoming such an emissary could one have a chance to transcend eternal life. But Amon made a change and left behind another way of guidance. Whether the believers on earth were divine emissaries or not, as long as they guarded the faith left by Amon, practiced the power of origin to the end, and passed the final test, they would naturally be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and the angels who would receive them in the Kingdom of Heaven would be Michael and Raphael.
This change began in the city of Salem. The priests of Salem called themselves mages, and what they practiced was not simply magic. What they first awakened was the power of the origin, but according to the characteristics of each person, they focused on different aspects of their practice.
On the day that the preaching in the Garden of Eden ended, Amon, as the king of Eygut, gave the final oracle and announced the secret of the power of origin to the priests of the shrines in Eygut. From this day on, the path to the gods was no longer monopolized by the various divine clans.
Those who obtained this secret and could awaken the power of origin might not necessarily believe in Amon, and most of them would not achieve great things at all, and those who eventually transcended eternal life were even fewer. But Amon did not consider this problem, he only left behind guidance. Those who truly followed the guidance and followed Amon's agreement, no matter how slim the chances were, the path to the Kingdom of Heaven was already in front of them.
On the other hand, it was not easy to awaken the power of origin, and even Amon himself could not awaken it for Wendy. If the people of the world did not have great achievements and opportunities, they might still awaken the power of their bloodline or magic respectively, no different from traditional warriors or mages, and this was something that Amon could not change.
After arranging all this, Amon gave another order. Among the angels of the Kingdom of Heaven, if anyone could also verify the achievements of the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven, they would be named Archangel. Then, he entered the big cave in the Garden of Eden to cultivate.
The cave was located in an independent mountain cliff, connected to other places in the Garden of Eden by the sea of clouds and the Rainbow Bridge. When the flood broke out in the Plains of Duc, Schrödinger guided the Ark of the Underworld and brought Amon here for the first time, discovering the ruins left behind by Bair and Troni and obtaining the secret of the power of two sides.
It could be said that this was the starting point of Amon's path of seeking proof. The current King of Heaven had returned to the big cave to cultivate alone.
If nothing unexpected happened, no one knew how long Amon would cultivate here. A few years, a few decades, a few centuries, or even a thousand years were possible, until the first Archangel appeared in his Kingdom of Heaven. At that time, Amon would have to seek proof of the true God of Gods. However, everything did not go as Amon wished. In fact, he only stayed in the cave for three years before he suddenly left.
After leaving the Garden of Eden, Amon did not appear in the human world or the Kingdom of Heaven. Instead, he appeared in Heaven. Many people may not be able to tell the difference between Heaven and Heaven, thinking that they were the same place, but in fact they were not. Both Heaven and Hell were the Underworld created by Amon, the places where the souls of the dead were received after the death of his believers.
It was just that Amon used a method of projection to cleverly project the scene of Heaven into Heaven, so that those souls who entered Heaven could see Heaven as if they were also in it. But they were still only souls after death in the human world, and did not enter the eternal transcendence of immortality.
The two angels guarding Heaven and Hell were currently Kella and Nergaal, who were also the gods of the underworld of the original Anunnaki divine clan. However, this time Amon personally welcomed a soul in Heaven, because the deceased was Aesop.
The Aesop that Amon saw in Heaven was not an old man, but rather resembled him when he first saw him in the Syah Desert. When the soul came to Heaven, it was the youngest, most handsome, and radiant appearance, and it made up for all the regrets of his life. If it was a lame man, his leg would be as good as new, and if it was a blind man, he would be able to open his eyes and see the light.
Amon smiled and said: "Old friend, you are early."
Aesop stepped forward and bowed: "My god, it's time for me to come and see you! I don't know how to describe my gratitude, I thought it would be tragic to face the end of life calmly, but when I came here, it was you who welcomed me! "
Amon's tone sank slightly, and he said with a slight reproach: "Why didn't you pray to me, I could have come and saved you."
Aesop smiled and said: "My faith is very clear, everything I do is the choice of my faith, there is no need to pray to the gods for anything. It was not until the moment I was executed that I prayed to my god, and then I saw you, I have no regrets in this life. "
Amon shook his head gently and said: "The ending of coming to Heaven is of course not a regret, but what happened to you when you left the human world is a regret. You are my friend, one of the most respected elders, no matter what, I should not sit back and watch that happen. But during this period of time, due to special reasons, I did not pay attention to everything in the human world, until I heard your last prayer, then I understood what happened. Aesop, welcome to Heaven! And I will go to Mituli to retrieve what I should take back. Your soul can stay here, or you can choose whether to go to the human world to be reborn. "
Aesop asked: "My god, are you going to the Heaton Peninsula as Amon?"
Amon nodded and said: "Yes, I am going to punish the person who framed you. In my way, this is also the end of my relationship with the Olympian gods. Medanzo and I sent you back to your hometown to satisfy your wish to enjoy your old age, but we did not expect that you would encounter such an encounter in the last moments of your life. If Medanzo was still in Heaton, he would not allow such a thing to happen, but unfortunately, he went to war with Alexander. The Macedonian army has just passed through the Syah Desert, where you and I first met. "
Aesop bowed and replied: "Although Heaven is good, it is not true transcendence. I have come here to see you, and I am still willing to choose the rebirth of my soul. But before I leave, I would like to see what you have done in Heaton. "
Amon nodded and said: "Then you wait in Heaven, don't worry, I still have to welcome the arrival of another old friend."
The 'other old friend' that Amon mentioned was a high-spirited warrior, the former Lord of Cape, Rod-dick. Seeing that Rod-dick had also come to Heaven, Aesop greeted him with a smile and said: "My Lord, I heard that you have achieved the achievement of a supreme warrior, it seems that you have come a little early!"
Rod-dick also smiled and said: "In terms of age, I am not young, and I have enjoyed a lot in the human world. If you can come, why can't I?" As he spoke, he also stepped forward and bowed to Amon.
Aesop joked again: "I have heard that a supreme warrior can refuse the invitation of the Underworld and choose to leave on his own. Why did you still come? Are you so sure that you will not go to Hell? "
Rod-dick asked in reply: "Aesop, have I done anything wrong to you that you want me to go to Hell so much? In fact, I have been praised by the people all my life, but I have some regrets. "
Amon asked: "Rod-dick, you were born as the heir to the Lord of Cape, and later became a supreme warrior, envied by the world, and held the position of Prime Minister of Eygut for many years. The real power in your hands is even greater than that of the Pharaoh. What regrets do you have?"
Rod-dick replied: "Even so, didn't I still come to see you in Heaven? It was not easy to come here. I didn't come directly to you, I came through Hell. Just before I died, you just sent down an oracle and announced the secret of the power of the origin. I wanted to practice it, but it was too late in this life. Isn't it a pity? "
Amon smiled: "At least you know this path before the end of your life, so it is not too much of a pity. In fact, with your foundation, even if I had guided you to the power of the origin from the beginning, you would have barely achieved great success in the end. There is no hope for you to pass the test of endless arising and ceasing, let alone pass the final test and transcend eternal life. It is better to be the Lord of Cape and Prime Minister. But Aesop is also right, you did not die on the battlefield, so it is indeed a little early. "
Rod Drick sighed. "There are so many things to deal with every day, worrying about the affairs of the country! My god, don't you know? Alexander has crossed the straits with the Macedonian army, has annexed the former Hittite Kingdom, and is about to approach Eygut. "
Amon's expression could not be seen whether he was happy or worried: "What other news do you have to tell me?"
Rod-dick said: "Do I still need to tell you specifically? When your soul comes to the Underworld, you will naturally learn everything, there are no secrets to speak of. "
Amon smiled again: "Yes, you should know that it is meaningless to sigh here. When I come to Heaven, I will naturally know that the Army of Potts has withdrawn from the Plains of Duc, that David has established Salem, and that Medanzo has sent you a letter conveying Alexander's promise that when he comes to Eygut, he will claim to be the son of Amon, is that so? "
Rod-dick smiled bitterly: "Since you know everything in a flash, why are you still asking me? Alexander will claim to be the son of Amon, and will come to Eygut to offer sacrifices to you and rebuild the Temple of Isis. My God, when did you have such a son? Who did you have him with? "
Aesop interjected again: "Rod-dick, when did you learn to speak like this, be careful that the gods throw you back to Hell."
Rod-dick chuckled and said: "Actually, I came to Heaven only to offer the imprint of my soul in this life to the gods, and I am satisfied to see the gods. I will also choose the new life of my soul, but I still want to wait in Heaven to see if Alexander can fulfill his promise. "
At this moment, Kella came over and bowed to Amon: "My god, many of your old friends have also come from Hell."
Amon waved his hand and said, "Then let them stay where they are! Heaven and Hell are not the final destination of the soul, they are just stations on the way to a new life, the only difference is whether they will be liberated or not. … Aesop, Rod, it is fate that you can meet here, take your time to talk, I will go to the human world. "
Rod-dick's soul came to Heaven because he died of old age, but Aesop did not die a natural death. He was executed by the court of the city of Miduli. This tragedy was actually related to the Delphi Oracle, which represented the will of the Olympian gods, and there was also a god behind it, which aroused Amon's anger.
Yalena and the other Olympian gods had not given up on him, and they must force him to voluntarily terminate his cooperation with Zeus and declare a complete break. If Yalena, Apollo, and the others faced Amon directly, no one was a match for him, but as long as Amon was in the human world, he would have a weakness. They had used many means to involve Medanzo, Mourrin, and Philip II, all of whom were related to Amon.
When Amon left the Heaton Peninsula, the Olympian gods did not give up. This time, it was Amon's most respected elder, Aesop. Aesop's experience could not be said to be completely innocent, and the story had to be told from the beginning.
…
After the assassination of Philip II, Alexander became the King of Macedon. Medanzo accidentally said something, and the young King vaguely guessed that the assassination of his father was related to Yalena. He could not punish Yalena, but he could punish the Yaron League.
Soon after he succeeded to the throne, Alexander led his army to launch a fierce attack on the Yaron League. Although the Yaron League was already weak, this battle would determine the survival of the city-states, so they gathered their greatest strength to resist. Alexander broke through the city of Thebes, which had the most tenacious resistance, and sold all the 30,000 citizens of the city who had always opposed Macedon as slaves. He burned the city to the ground, leaving only the temple of Zeus and the residence of a bard whom he respected.
Such an iron-fisted method greatly deterred the other city-states of the Yaron League. When Alexander's army moved south, the city-states surrendered almost without resistance, lest they suffer the same disaster. Alexander smoothly destroyed the Yaron League, and the era of divided city-states on the Heaton Peninsula came to an end.
When the Potz Empire heard that Philip II had been assassinated, it was relieved for a while, thinking that the biggest threat on the Heaton Peninsula had been removed. In the end, Alexander, who succeeded the throne, was even more talented and bold than his father. In the second year after the unification of the Heaton Peninsula, Alexander had already formed an unprecedentedly large army. He crossed the promontory and attacked the three provinces of the Potz Empire, which were the territories of the former Hittite Kingdom.
At this time, the Potz Empire was no longer the same as it was in the era of Darius. Although the territory was vast, there was frequent civil strife, and the country was declining day by day. The current Emperor of the Potz Empire was Darius III. Under his rule, the Potz Empire was far less stable and tolerant than the era of Cyrus or Darius. Conflicts between the various tribes in the country occurred from time to time, and the people in the occupied areas had been planning to break free from the slavery of the Potz people.
The Potz Empire relied on military suppression to maintain a fragile rule. Once it encountered a more powerful military attack from the outside world, this great empire would immediately collapse.
Alexander mobilized a total of eight legions, including 5,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 infantry with the Macedonian pike phalanx as the main force, to cross the promontory and attack. The Macedonian army regarded itself as the liberator, and received a lot of support from the local Hittite people. They advanced all the way with irresistible force, and finally fought a decisive battle with the army led by Darius III, the Emperor of the Potz.
The Macedonians flanked both sides with their cavalry, and the pike phalanx steadily advanced, and the Potz army was defeated. Darius III escaped in the chaos, and the Macedonian army chased him all the way to the west bank of the Euphrate River, completely occupying the territory of the former Hittite Kingdom.
As the Potz people retreated to the west bank of the Euphrate River, there was a temporary vacuum of ruling power on the Plains of Duc, and the city of Salem under the rule of David Solomon took the opportunity to declare independence, forming the state of Salem. At that time, Alexander was already known as the Great Emperor of Macedon, and when he heard the news, he did not stop David Solomon. Instead, he sent an envoy to confer him the title of King of Salem, which could be considered as fulfilling his first promise to Medanzo.
The defeated Darius III sent an envoy to Alexander to beg for peace, expressing his willingness to cede the land west of the Euphrate River to Macedon, and pay a large sum of war reparations. But Alexander refused the peace talks, and he demanded an unconditional surrender of the Potz people.
But Alexander was not in a hurry to attack the hinterland of the Potz Empire. After the army rested and reorganized, it moved south along the coastline, crossing the Syah Desert and heading straight for Eygut. Before reaching Eygut, Alexander also asked Medanzo to send a letter to Rod-dick, as for the contents of the letter, Amon already knew.
The expansion of the Macedonian Empire was, of course, part of Zeus' plan, and it had always been guided by his oracle. But Alexander's promise to Medanzo and the god of Eygut was not what Yalena and the other Olympian gods wanted to see.
Alexander brought Medanzo to lead the army to war, but the annual oracle ceremony of Delphi still had to be held. This was the fourth ceremony since Macedon occupied Delphi, and according to Alexander's plan, the next time he led the army back successfully, he would reform the tradition of the Delphi oracle, end the history of the separate temples, and build a main temple dedicated to Zeus, the father of the gods, in the main temple, and place the gods in the main temple to accompany the sacrifices. The oracle of Delphi would be issued by this main temple.
However, Alexander did not have the time to return to his country to deal with this matter. This year's Delphi Oracle was still announced by the Temple of Apollo. The city-states would send representatives to offer sacrifices, and the emissary representing the Mituri city-state was Aesop.
To offer sacrifices to the gods, the offerings were placed on the altar. But the gods would not take away the symbolic offerings, they only accepted the prayers and praises of the people. The offerings of each city were for the temple, to be enjoyed by the priests, including a large number of livestock, slaves, valuable utensils, and the most substantial of which was, of course, a large sum of money.
The "gift" prepared by the city of Medulla, which had always been rich in business, was a large sum of gold, which was raised by the city from the merchants of Medulla, and sent an envoy to Delphi on behalf of the city to offer to the temples in the holy land of Delphi.
