"This is not foolishness. It is possible to be completely lost in the cycle of life, and the opportunity to seek confirmation is rare. If you miss this life, you don't know how long you will have to wait. Perhaps Apollo would have been strong enough at that time and would no longer have to fear Amon. Since Hermes was beheaded, Apollo has been worried about suffering the same fate. How could he not take the opportunity to do something? "
John still sneered. "If he had such thoughts, I'm afraid he would never become stronger. Although I have not transcended eternal life, I also know that Amun did not return to the world for Apollo, and Amun's search for confirmation has nothing to do with Apollo. Is it wise for him to do so? Amun was shot down by Lord Schrödinger in the clouds with an arrow. The past is over, and it has been made clear at the beginning! "
Themis also shook her head. "Of course it is not wise. In fact, Yalena, who has a grudge with Amon, is very clear-headed. For the past three hundred years, she has never asked about Amon. … John, I did not come for Amon, but for you. I wanted to save you from the cage. Seeing you now, it is clear that you can escape on your own. You have reached the realm of cultivation in this life, and when you go out, there is hope to meet the final test and truly transcend eternal life. "
John stroked her shoulder and asked meaningfully, "After transcending eternal life, where will I go?"
Themis pressed her cheek against his chest and replied, "You have received the guidance of Allaha's faith in this life, so of course you can go to Allaha's heaven, which is also Amon's heaven. … If you are willing to let me take you out of the dungeon, there is actually another choice. I have sought confirmation from the lord of heaven, but I did not create a world in the eternal life, but waited for the opportunity. "
In his life as a disciple of Amon, John did not understand the various achievements after transcending eternal life, but Themis had already given him a detailed explanation with the information of the divine arts. Even if he could not understand the mysteries of the divine cultivation, he could understand the meaning of the various realms.
John was slightly startled and asked, "Can I become the ruler of Heaven without creating my own Heaven Kingdom?"
Themis replied: "Yes, Zeus and Amon both sought confirmation of the Lord of Heaven at the same time as they created the Kingdom of Heaven, but later generations have had reference, and it is not necessary to create the Kingdom of Heaven to achieve success, such as Pythagoras. This is also a kind of choice. It means that you can create a Kingdom of Heaven in eternity at any time. It also means that your soul already has such a world. "
John nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but I will not leave this place."
Themis looked up at him. "If you don't leave here, you will be executed, just before you transcend eternal life. If you go out, you can still usher in the final test of transcending eternal life. Let me take you out, and you can make another choice. "
John sighed. "What I am waiting for is the final test of this life. If I go out, I will not usher in it! The so-called 'test of fate, judgment of the end of days' is not only the whirlpool and lightning that unfolds in eternity. As John the Baptist, I pursue the perfection of this life. My god is still Amon, and God will not be tempted by eternal life. "
Themis was also sighing, and when she raised her face, her eyes were full of tears. "I also understand that I can't take you away from here."
As a goddess, she already had the realm of the Lord of Heaven, so there was no need for John to say more. The cause and effect of all this was clear in Themis' heart. The Olympian gods mistakenly thought that John was the reincarnated Amon and Herod wanted to kill him. John did not want to explain, and he was more than happy to cause this misunderstanding. He was not only protecting his god, but also the faith in his heart.
Even if John the Baptist died, the faith he spread would still exist. And Amon could also temporarily avoid the interference of the Olympian gods to complete his quest. For John's faith, if he chose to walk out of the cage, he could naturally save his life. But in this way, even if he had achieved the ninth level of the power of origin, he would not be able to reach the perfection of the state of mind, and he would never be able to meet the final test in this life.
John held Themis' face, bowed his head, and kissed away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes. He said softly, "Herod's butcher's knife is the final test of my life. With this achievement, the reincarnated soul will not be lost. Since you have found me in this life, I will find you in the next life. "
Themis said, "You will definitely go to Amon's Heaven. Do you know where to find me?"
Hardedef said, "You can create your kingdom of heaven where I am going and guide me here. Isn't this also your wish?"
He was reminding Themis that she could actually create her own world in Amon's Kingdom of Angels, just like Prometheus had fused the Olympian Heaven with his world. Themis replied, "This requires two conditions. One is that Amon has returned to Heaven, and the other is that he has achieved the true realm of the gods."
John smiled. "You finally changed the way you address Amon as Amun. In fact, I want to tell you that if Amun's wish is fulfilled in this life, Amun will return to his Heaven, and by then, he will be the god of the gods. The realm that Zeus once sought is just a natural goal for Amun. "
Themis asked with some surprise: "You have not transcended eternal life, yet you can see it more clearly than me, the Lord of Heaven, how can you be so sure?"
John replied: "It is precisely because I have not transcended eternal life that I can see the various possibilities from the starting point of the path, and with the reference of predecessors, I can understand the various differences. When Amon created his Heaven, his first promise was to merge the Ennead and the Anunnaki Divine Kingdoms, and guide the gods of the ancient divine clan to enjoy the eternal world. You are not the first to try, Allah and Anu are, and this is the foundation of Amun.
So as long as his achievements reach a perfect state, he will naturally be able to seek confirmation of the god of the gods, and this is the situation that Amat's great prophecy referred to. Before Amun re-entered the human world, he was already the Lord of Heaven, and when he returned to Heaven, it meant that the realm was complete, and whether he had broken through to a higher unknown realm or not, he had already sought confirmation of the god of the gods. All of this should have happened before I became an angel, and at that time, if you want, you can find me in Heaven, in your world. "
Themis nodded: "When Amun returns to Heaven, I will enter Heaven, accept his guidance, and create my spiritual world in the kingdom of angels. I will wait for you there, and you will eventually find me!"
… …
Salome returned to the palace hall and bowed to Herod: "Father, I have asked for Mother's opinion, and the reward I want is – the head of John the Baptist!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, some were stunned, and some exclaimed: "Oh my god, what a terrible voice, what a vicious beauty!"
Herod had known this result, but pretended to be surprised and said: "What, my dear daughter, did I hear wrong? You actually want the head of John the Baptist! "
Salome replied expressionlessly: "Yes, Father, you did not hear wrong! John refused my love, and he would rather walk into that cage for the rest of his life, so I will fulfill his wish! "
There was another burst of surprised discussion in the palace. It turned out that there was such a story. Herod's stepdaughter Salome actually fell in love with John the Baptist, and her courtship failed, so she wanted John's head. Herod put down his glass and said: "I have promised you all possible rewards, and since you have decided, then I will give you John's head!"
Not long after, John's head was served on a plate, and many guests closed their eyes as they could not bear to see this bloody scene. Salome's expression remained unchanged as she picked up the head and kissed Hardedef's forehead and lips in front of everyone. She then raised her head and said, "Father, I have another request. Please let me bury him."
Finally, John was executed, and Herod was also satisfied. He pretended to be regretful and waved his hand: "Go, bury him well!"
… …
The news that the beloved John the Baptist had died at the hands of the Peerless Dancer Salome quickly spread across the Salem Plain. There were different versions of the folk story, and one of the most famous legends accused Herod of his crimes. Herod was lustful, and not only did he marry his brother's wife, but he also coveted his young and beautiful niece and stepdaughter, Salome, and asked Salome to strip and dance at his birthday party.
Salome endured this humiliation, wore seven layers of gauze, and danced for Herod, but made a request. She wanted John the Baptist because she fell in love with him. At this point, the legend was divided into two versions. Some said that John refused Salome's courtship, so Salome ordered people to cut off John's head, and held it up to kiss his lips. Others said that Herod hated John for obtaining Salome's heart, so he ordered people to give his head to the Peerless Dancer.
This legend later became a folk story of the gods, and its name was "The Seven Layers of Gauze." Whatever the truth of the matter, John the Baptist was indeed dead, and the Olympian gods and Herod were rid of their mortal enemies. And Salome disappeared after burying John, and there was no trace of her in history.
… …
When John said goodbye to the world in the city of Salem, Yoro seemed to have been summoned by something, and he also left the place of penance, crossed the inland lake, and returned to the Salem Plain again. At this time, he was already a great achiever, and such a rate of progress not only amazed ordinary people, but also made the so-called geniuses of the world feel ashamed.
But if one knew his identity, none of this would be surprising, because he was Amun who was reincarnated on earth.
Two years had passed since he was baptized by the Jedan River and returned to the Salem Plain after the end of his penance, and Yoro had actually passed the test of endless life and death. There had always been two views on the experience of witnessing endless life and death. One was to regard it as the experience of many living beings in the world, and the other was to regard it as the experience of one's own soul reincarnating on earth. For passing the test, as long as one's mind was firm and unmoved, there was no difference.
