Report

"Seven days. God only used seven days to create all things!"

Gilgamesh was taken aback. He prostrated himself and laughed until tears came out of his eyes. He laughed hysterically.

In that instant, he seemed to hear something in his heart shatter.

It was the sound of his heart shattering. His pride and arrogance had been shattered before his death.

There was nothing more sorrowful than a dead heart.

"Seven days …" He completely lost his consciousness amidst his laughter. The three questions in front of him made him fall into a trance. He seemed to recall the first question he had asked this giant while standing on the palm of his hand when he was young.

"What is civilization?"



"Civilization is a tinder. Civilization is knowledge. Civilization is order. Civilization is also the strongest power that the intelligent species use to protect themselves."



"Civilization is the power that we intelligent species use to protect ourselves?"



"Hahahaha!"

He laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became. His voice passed through the breeze and hills, the steep mountains, the raging rivers, the green forests that swayed with the wind, the lush rice fields, and the endless vast grasslands.

Whoosh!

In the grasslands, in the royal city, the people in the mountains, they looked up silently.

In a trance, they looked at the sky with mixed feelings. It was as if they could hear the passing of the Sumer King. Countless people cried and wailed, singing an unknown Sumer's Lament ballad. It was a lament for the fall of the great king.

On this day, at the edge of Uruk Royal City, the great Epic Hero King of a generation, Gilgamesh, came to the end of his life. He became the dust of history.

Xu Zhi sighed as he watched the Hero King leave. "I have never thought of vying for anything. What you want, the questions you want to ask, I will answer all of them truthfully. However, I really do not have any treasure that allows you to live forever. I'm even on the brink of death, so why do you have to go through all this?"

"The King is dead!"

"Our King, the strongest Hero King in history, Gilgamesh, has brandished his sword at the God of Creation. He is dead!"

"We have been defeated!"

Countless troops wailed as they fled frantically.

Xu Zhi did not choose to give chase. After all, where could they escape to? The boundary of the world?

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable … "

Historiographer Akkad stood on the towering walls of Uruk, watching his great hero die in defeat. He broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the horrifying truth. "I must … I must, before I die, I must record everything. I must leave the truth of the world for future generations."

The Historiographer trembled all over, his arms drenched in sweat.

He had just written down the words of Gilgamesh challenging the intelligent behemoth. Then, with trembling hands, he suddenly opened the next page and quickly wrote down a new chapter.

Genesis, Sumer of the Fall of Nations, recorded:

[The Great Intelligent Beast, the Creator, Gilgamesh. In his later years, he became arrogant and conceited. He attempted to wield his sword against the Lord and obtain eternal life with the Blood of God. In the end, he angered the Gods. The Gods saw that the people of the Earth had committed heinous crimes and decided to destroy the Sumer Civilization. They sent down a great flood to destroy all living beings.]

The sky was shaking.

The ground was wailing.

In Uruk Royal City, the people on the ground were screaming. At this moment, some people who had broken down finally laughed maniacally. They turned into fanatics and knelt on the ground, praying silently.

"God said that all people are sinners!"

"Repent!!! God will lay sin on our arms and crush our backs! "

"The great flood will destroy our world!"

In the anxious atmosphere, everyone was panicking, trembling, panicking, and seething. Everyone was fretful.

At this moment, a young man with a black headscarf came to Xu Zhi's feet, carrying a bag stained with blood. He opened the bag and spread out the head. "The great intelligent behemoth, Forest King Enkidu, begs for forgiveness."

Xu Zhi was slightly stunned.

He found it strange that only two of the three kings came, and the Forest King did not come.

Utanapizim knelt on the ground and begged. He said with a trembling voice, "We Sumer people are not only barbaric. Teacher Enkidu has already used his own death to prove this point. He would rather defy the decree than wield his sword against the benefactor who gave us civilization. We are not all sinners. Please let the Sumer people have a last chance of survival when God sends down his divine punishment."

When Xu Zhi heard this and heard the righteous deed of the Forest King, he sighed. In fact, he had never thought that Gilgamesh would be so crazy.

He had never intended to exterminate them. It was just that they were too presumptuous and self-righteous … But now, such a crazy challenge, rudeness, tyranny, and barbarism, they had to pay a certain price for their actions.

"Bring people to make Noah's Ark with the giant divine tree. Leave at least a pair of seeds of every living creature in the world. Use the remaining space to bring the righteous people of Enkidu's giant forest city to board the ark. I will immediately send down a great flood to destroy the world."

Xu Zhi turned and left.

The surroundings were filled with trembling and excited voices.

"We've lost the war, but it doesn't mean that our country has perished. There's still hope left."

"Thank the Creator for his mercy."

"It is all because the Forest King Enkidu has shown God our good will. We are not barbaric, and we still have a place of redemption."

"Praise Enkidu!"

"Praise the great Forest King!"

Akkad also cried tears of joy. Looking at the back of the giant leaving, he became excited. He waved his brush and ink. Genesis Sumer's chapter on the destruction of the world:

[The Forest King Enkidu's benevolence moved the gods who were prepared to destroy the world. He left a chance for the Sumer who tried to rebel. God ordered the Utanapizim to build Noah's Ark to escape the great flood.]



Xu Zhi returned to the courtyard and tidied up.

He looked for the high-pressure water gun that he had bought with Chen Xi in the corner of the farm. He did not expect it to be put to use now.

At this moment, in the ten minutes that Xu Zhi had spent preparing the water gun, 120 days had passed in the sand table. Countless people began to turn into shadows that sped up, chopping down the big banyan bonsai that was left behind years ago and building a giant ark.

Then, they built the seeds of all living creatures, books, the young of various giant beasts, everything, the species of the entire world, all concentrated into the giant Noah's Ark.

"Fortunately, there aren't many places, and life is quite concentrated. Let's start cleaning." He walked into the sand table, raised the high-pressure water gun from a distance of ten meters, and washed all the way.

Boom!

The snow-white high-pressure water shot toward the civilized area of the city-state in the orchard.

Thud thud thud!!

Large swathes of trees fell, and the giant city collapsed instantly. Countless beasts fled the forest, trying in vain to run past the monstrous white flood behind them, but in the end, they were drowned by the great flood.

Heaven and earth seemed to change color in an instant.

Snow-White, vast.

"God saw that the sins of man on earth were great, so the heavens sent a great flood, and God destroyed all living beings."

Utanapizim led the crowd to sit on the ark, looking at the sky in shock. It was an incomparably shocking scene, as if the source of the abyss had split open, and the windows in the sky had opened.

Countless snow-white surging water gushed down from the white clouds in the sky, washing the entire land.

Other than the ark, which was still floating on the sea, the entire world had been immersed in the vast white spray.
