《Starting From The Stone Age And Becoming Extraordinary After Constructing Stonehenge》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In 10800 BC, a meteorite broke through the atmosphere and landed on the American continent. Countless dust clouds rose and covered the sky. All of a sudden, the entire world was plunged into a cold wave. Vegetation withered and animals went extinct. It was known as the Younger Dryas Event! ¡­ ¡®It hurts!¡¯ Tan Weili, who woke up in the darkness, felt a tearing pain in his internal organs. The pain was so intense that he almost fainted again. He tried his best to open his eyes. However, the scene that greeted his eyes almost frightened him. At this moment, he was stretching out in a plain. About a kilometer away, a huge crater appeared on the vast plain. In his sight, there were countless corpses of humans and animals. In addition to the burning vegetation, the dust that covered the sky, and the oppressive dark clouds, the scene was like the end of the world. Tan Weili was dumbfounded when he saw that. ¡°Why am I in this ghostly place?¡± Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt an intense pain in his head. A large number of memories that did not belong to him surged out from his mind. It turned out that he had transmigrated. He crossed over to an unfamiliar wasteland and became a hunter of a local primitive tribe. In this wasteland, he led his tribe to migrate everywhere, using simple stone tools to hunt all kinds of giant beasts to maintain their livelihood. However, it was this kind of daily life that could also have accidents. Just today, when he was hunting in this wasteland, a meteorite fell from the sky. Tan Weili¡¯s predecessor had died unsurprisingly from the powerful shock wave of the meteorite¡¯s landing. However, Tan Weili also felt that he might not live for long as he felt the pain in his body as if his internal organs were shifting. He had to think of a way to save himself! Tan Weili thought. At that moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Tan Weili¡¯s ears. [Ding! The Civilization Wonder System has been bound.] [Era: Ancient Era] [Special ability activated: Retain memories and be reborn!] [With this ability, the host can freely set the conditions for reincarnation after death and reincarnate with the memory of the previous life!] [Warning: The system has detected that the host is on the verge of death. According to the system¡¯s assessment of the medical conditions of this era, the host¡¯s mortality rate is: 100%.] [Please set the reincarnation conditions immediately. Otherwise, the system will randomly reincarnate you!] System? The ability to retain memories and reincarnate? Tan Weili heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this information. It turned out that the system that he was bound to had such functions. That was good. If that was the case, at least he wouldn¡¯t have ended his life so inexplicably. He immediately ordered the system, ¡°Let me reincarnate into the 21st century!¡± Tan Weili, who knew that he had transmigrated to ancient times, knew that he would not die no matter what with his ability to retain his memories and reincarnate. He didn¡¯t want to torture himself in a place without electricity or internet. However, the system¡¯s words interrupted his thoughts. [Sorry! The reincarnation conditions are not met. The host must reincarnate within a ten-year period.] ¡°Ten years?¡± Tan Weili was dumbfounded when he heard that. According to the academic community, the ancient era referred to the period between 3 million BC and the 21st century BC. Even by the most optimistic standard, assuming that he was in the 21st century BC, he would have to reincarnate two to three hundred times before he could return to the 21st century! Unwilling to give up, Tan Weili quickly asked, ¡°System, is there any other way to increase the interval between reincarnations?¡± [Answer to the host: The host can speed up the process of reincarnation by building a wonder.] [Every time the host completes a specific wonder, some special abilities will be unlocked, including the right to increase the range of choices for reincarnation!] [In addition, when the host completes all the wonders of the current era, the host can freely reincarnate to a time node at the beginning of the next era.] Building wonders? Tan Weili pondered for a moment. If he could be reincarnated into a ruling family of a country, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to organize manpower to build a wonder. He asked the system, ¡°What were the wonders of the ancient era?¡± [Transferring system data for you, please wait¡­] [Data scheduling completed. There is only one wonder in ancient times: Stonehenge of Salisbury.] Then, the system projected the information of Stonehenge in Salisbury onto Tan Weili¡¯s retina. [Name of Wonder: Stonehenge of Salisbury] [Construction requirements: 1. Complete the construction of the main part of the wonder before 4000 BC.] [2. The construction site must be located in the Salisbury area, about 100 kilometers southwest of the original United Kingdom!] [3. The main body of the stone formation must be built with at least 20 pieces of stones weighing more than 20 tons!] [4. The main axis of the stone formation, the road to the stone pillar, and the rising sun of the summer solstice must be on the same line!] [5. The line connecting two stones in the stone formation must point in the direction of the winter solstice and sunset!] Tan Weili nodded to himself when he heard the requests. This was not difficult. This was because these requirements were actually data from Stonehenge of Salisbury in his previous life. Since the ancestors could build this stone formation wonder without relying on external forces¡­ There was no reason that Tan Weili couldn¡¯t do it! Thinking of this, Tan Weili immediately ordered the system to let him reincarnate in the region of Salisbury in England after his death. In addition, he also asked the system to do its best to fulfill his secondary reincarnation requirements in order. First, the baby that Tan Weili was reincarnated into must have a strong body, and the mother must be healthy as well to ensure that Tan Weili would not die young after reincarnation. The hygiene was not developed here¡­ No, it should be said that in an era without the concept of hygiene, the death rate of babies was quite terrifying. First, the system should try its best to reincarnate him into a tribe that had a tradition of taking care of the wounded. Second, the rules for the succession of positions in these tribes must be simple enough to give Tan Weili enough opportunities to become a shaman in the tribe. Third, if there was no such tribe, the system should try its best to let him be born into a tribe member who was very likely to give birth to a shaman. Fourth, it would be best if the system could create some birth signs for him that would make the tribe members feel that he was of extraordinary birth. After setting the conditions for reincarnation, Tan Weili¡¯s injuries worsened. The intense pain made him unable to think of any other conditions. He had no choice but to give up. After all, this was only his first attempt. Even if there was a problem, he could die once and start again. It was just a matter of one life. In the last moments of his life, Tan Weili¡¯s consciousness gradually blurred. He could vaguely hear the system¡¯s voice in his ear. [Host¡¯s first death. Time of death: 10800 BC.] [According to the host¡¯s request, the qualified candidates have been selected in the region of Salisbury in England¡­] 10800 BC? Wasn¡¯t that the year the Younger Dryas Event happened? Fuck! The meteorite that had killed him couldn¡¯t have been the one that had activated the Younger Dryas event, right? [Your guess is correct, Host!] ¡°This is a scam!¡± After hearing this, Tan Weili used the last of his strength to let out a roar of dissatisfaction! Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation 10790 BC With the help of the system, Tan Weili was successfully born into a tribe in the region of Salisbury, England. The moment Tan Weili was born, the rainbow light of the sun magically shot into the cave where the tribe lived. The dazzling light instantly made all the tribe members unable to open their eyes. With the system¡¯s help, the tribe¡¯s shaman felt that this child had a bright future! Hence, he decided to take Tan Weili in as an apprentice. After ten years of study, the shaman who taught Tan Weili welcomed the last moment of his life. Tan Weili was not surprised at all. The people of this era generally only had a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. The shaman was already 30 years old. To die at this age, he must have died of old age. Tan Weili silently watched the shaman die and took over the religious power of the tribe from him. Then, he began to ambitiously propose his plan to build the stone formation! However, this plan had just begun when it failed shamelessly. It wasn¡¯t that someone in the tribe was against his opinion. In this era where science was covered in dust, such a thing was almost impossible. What really restricted his plan were two objective factors. First of all, the local productivity was backward, and there was a lack of manpower. According to the academic research of the 21st century, historians and archaeologists generally believed that this was the case. In the beginning, the aboriginals in the region of England had mobilized more than 500 young and strong laborers in order to build the Stonehenge of Salisbury! However, Tan Weili¡¯s tribe did not have 500 young men. Even if the old, the weak, the women, and the children were included, the population only reached 50 people! Even so, they were considered one of the largest tribes in the Salisbury area! In addition to the lack of production and manpower, there was another factor that restricted the implementation of this plan. That¡¯s right! Maybe it was because he was 21 years old that he couldn¡¯t understand how poor the vocabulary of the primitive people of this era was. However, the reality was that no matter how hard Tan Weili tried, he could not clearly describe the construction of the giant stone formation to the tribe members. When Tan Weili said, ¡°The gods and my ancestors told me that this winter in the future will last for hundreds and thousands of years.¡± ¡°With our current state, we cannot survive this winter. We have to change!¡± Then, all the tribe members present looked at him in confusion. They could understand who the gods and ancestors were, and they attached great importance to Tan Weili, who had issued oracles and revelations from the ancestors. They could understand the meaning of winter. This was because winter was something they had to face all the time. However, there were no numbers like ¡®100¡¯ or ¡®1000¡¯ in their vocabulary bank, because they had no use for them. They also could not understand the concept of years. In the future, these concepts of time were only used in animal husbandry and farming, and had little to do with the primitive people who made a living by hunting and gathering. That was why they didn¡¯t know how long the winter that Tan Weili mentioned would last. As for change? This term was something from another world to the primitive people who lived their lives the same way. Tan Weili naturally could not build the stone formation immediately when he could not even convey a complete order. After realizing this, Tan Weili chose to take a step back and slowly develop his own tribe. On one hand, he began to organize the tribe¡¯s productivity development. Under his guidance, the tribesmen began to eat grass seeds that were suspected to be the ancestors of oats and wheat, and tried to grow them in primitive and simple ways. Under Tan Weili¡¯s guidance, the tribe¡¯s food began to fill up. The population was also gradually increasing. On the other hand, he wanted the tribesmen who would be responsible for building the stone formation a few generations later to understand his orders. Tan Weili began to tell stories to the children in the tribe. At first, the story he told was very simple. There was only one paragraph, ¡°The gods and ancestors gave a hunter the power of thunder and lightning. His life changed and he could use thunder and lightning to easily capture his prey. However, his family was also struck to death by lightning while he was sleeping.¡± Almost all the vocabulary Tan Weili used to tell the story was already in the tribe. The only unprecedented word was ¡®change¡¯! Through this story, Tan Weili let the children in the tribe know that ¡®change¡¯ was a state. It could be good or bad, but it must be different from the past. After spending an entire lifetime instilling the concept of ¡®change¡¯ into the next generation of the tribe¡­ Tan Weili ended his life in 10760 BC. ¡­ In 10750 BC, Tan Weili was once again born into this tribe. Due to the system¡¯s help, his birth was once again abnormal. Originally, outside the cave where the tribe lived, it had been raining heavily for half a month. Seeing the water outside the cave gradually rise and soon flood the cave, the tribe members were already considering whether to leave this place and find a new home. However, the moment Tan Weili was born, the rain stopped, and the sun shone on the earth again. The tribe¡¯s shaman was in a daze. He vaguely remembered that an elder in his tribe had once said that his teacher had a similar phenomenon when he was born. As a result, he, who was nearly twenty years old, chose this child to be his heir. In the process of teaching the child, the shaman was surprised to find that the child not only looked like his teacher when he was born, his personality and actions were exactly the same as his teacher. When he reached the end of his life, looking at the child who looked very similar to his teacher, the old shaman used his last bit of strength to say to him, ¡°Change!¡± ¡°Change.¡± Tan Weili held the shaman¡¯s hand, which used to be his student but was now his teacher, and replied. Hearing this, the old shaman¡¯s lips curled into a smile and he left the world. At the last moment of his life, he knew that this child would definitely be able to bring change to the tribe, just like the hunter in his teacher¡¯s story who had mastered lightning. Bring about a good change! Tan Weili, who was once again in power as a shaman, was not in a hurry to build the giant stone formation. He was just telling stories to the children step by step, expanding the vocabulary of the tribe. But this time, his story was a little more complicated. He said to the children,¡±There was a shaman who, under the guidance of the gods and ancestors, buried a grass seed on the ground when the ice and snow melted, as a sacrifice to the gods and ancestors.¡± ¡°When the snow was about to fall, he got ten grass seeds.¡± ¡°The shaman called the time between burying the seeds ¡®years¡¯, and the ritual ¡®planting¡¯.¡± ¡°Later, the shaman sacrificed the ten grass seeds given by the gods and his ancestors to them, so he got ten grass seeds.¡± ¡°That shaman called the ten tens ¡®hundred¡¯.¡± ¡°After that, the shaman sacrificed 100 grass seeds to the gods and his ancestors, so he got 100 grass seeds.¡± ¡°That shaman called ten hundreds ¡®thousand¡¯.¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Tan Weili chose 10740 BC to tell the story of the ¡®shaman in charge of the planting ritual¡¯ after careful consideration. If he had told this story to the children back in 10770 BC, They would have been confused. After all, the child had not been exposed to farming at that time. To them, the planting ritual was an even more abstract concept than Cthulhu mythology. However, things were different now. To Tan Weili¡¯s tribe, planting grass seeds was something that had appeared in 10770 BC, only 30 years ago. From the ancient era, which spanned more than 2 million years from 3 million BC to the 21st century BC, planting grass seeds was definitely a new thing! However, the children in Tan Weili¡¯s tribe were generally born after 10758 AD. This meant that when the children were born, the tribe had already started to grow crops. Thus, this batch of children easily understood the concept of planting. They even thought that the word ¡®grow¡¯ had always been something that the tribe had! The concepts of ¡®hundred¡¯, ¡®thousand¡¯, and ¡®year¡¯ had also become very realistic and easily accepted by children because of the emergence of agricultural production. Tan Weili was very pleased to see that the children had mastered words that were very abstract for their ancestors without much effort. ¡­ In Tan Weili¡¯s plan, he would spend his life teaching children new vocabulary and improving the farming skills of the tribe. However, in 10735 BC, which was the fifth year after Tan Weili became a shaman, an accident accelerated his progress. In spring of 10735, the snow had just melted. For the future development of the tribe, Tan Weili, as a shaman, left the tribe at this time of the year as usual. He led the 15 young men and women of the tribe to a cave five kilometers away, ready to trade with the other tribes. And the content of the deal was the life essence of the tribal men! This was due to the lack of tribe members in this era. If they were to rely on intermarriage to produce the next generation, it would definitely lead to an increase in the frequency of close relatives reproducing. This would cause the next generation of the tribe to suffer from an unnecessary recessive genetic disease! Even though the humans of this era did not understand this logic, it was now the end of the ancient era, 10000 BC. In any case, the tribes that did not know how to avoid recessive genetic diseases by a walking marriage had long been eliminated. After coming to the cave where the local tribe had reproduced the next generation¡­ Tan Weili noticed that many young men and women from the tribe had gathered in the cave. This made Tan Weili realize that this year¡¯s reproduction seemed to be much earlier than in the past. Tan Weili immediately started patrolling the cave. Very quickly, he found a familiar man in the crowd. He pulled him over and asked him, ¡°D*ck, why are you guys here so early this year?¡± The man named ¡®D*ck¡¯ was the leader of a tribe near Tan Weili. His name sounded very strange. However, in this era where humans generally worshipped reproduction, there were actually many people who used the name ¡®D*ck.¡¯ With Tan Weili holding D*ck, he thought that he had taken a fancy to some girl. However, he had already sown it five times today. He felt a faint stabbing pain between his waist and kidneys, and his legs were a little weak. Therefore, he subconsciously waved his hand, wanting to refuse the other party¡¯s kind request. Fortunately, he soon heard the person who stopped him speak in a male voice. So, he heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the other person. ¡°Oh! Bai, it¡¯s you!¡± Bai was Tan Weili¡¯s name in this life. His name, by the standards of the 21st century, might sound ordinary. However, the name was given by his apprentice in his previous life, who was also his teacher in this life. The inspiration for the name was actually a kind of paint that the local shamans used to paint caves. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of this era, ¡®Bai¡¯ was a name full of power and mystery. Looking at Tan Weili, D*ck explained, ¡°Many people in our tribe froze to death when it snowed. In order to replenish our manpower, the shaman asked us to come over after the snow melted so that the women in the tribe can conceive as soon as possible.¡± It seemed that the living environment of these primitive people had begun to deteriorate due to the influence of the Younger Dryas Event. After he understood why everyone had arrived so early, Tan Weili ended his conversation with the D*ck. Then, three young women came over. As Tan Weili was a shaman and had inherited the hunting skills he had learned in America during his first life, he was a famous hunter in the area. As a result, many women in the tribe had been coveting his life essence for a long time. They were all looking forward to being with Tan Weili and giving birth to offspring as strong as him. Naturally, Tan Weili did not hold back. Even though the primitive people of this era, whether male or female, all had nauseating faces due to the lack of nutrition and harsh conditions, the women who dared to fight for the chance to mate with Tan Weili were all excellent mothers without exception. Their breasts were full, which meant that they could provide sufficient breast milk for the next generation.Their buttocks were warped, and their pelvis was wide, which also meant that it was unlikely for them to have a difficult time during labor. So, Tan Weili only needed to stay in the dimly lit cave and not pay attention to the women¡¯s faces to get a good breeding experience. After three rounds of breeding, Tan Weili¡¯s body was obviously tired. Therefore, he decided to go to the side to rest. But at this moment, an accident happened! One of the women who had just mated with him suddenly reached out her hands and wrapped them around his armpits. Then, a man standing not far away from Tan Weili suddenly pulled out a bone knife and put it on Tan Weili¡¯s neck. ¡°Don¡¯t move! Hand over the food of your tribe!¡± Everyone in the cave was stunned when they saw this. D*ck, who was resting in the corner, stood up first and yelled at the man,¡±What are you doing? Don¡¯t you know the rule that no fighting is allowed in the breeding caves?¡± ¡°Breeding?¡± Hearing this, the man who had the bone knife on Tan Weili¡¯s neck sneered.¡±We¡¯re starving. What¡¯s the point of breeding?¡± With that, two men from the same tribe as the man stepped forward. One of them clamped D*ck, and the other cut his throat with a stone knife. Gu, gu, gu¡­ Covering the wound on his neck, D*ck fell to the ground in disbelief and gradually lost his breath. Seeing this, Tan Weili instantly realized that these guys had planned this all along. They wanted to take advantage of the men¡¯s fatigue from reproduction to kidnap him and force his tribe to exchange food for him! Tan Weili sighed when he realized this. He knew that these people had broken the rule that they could not fight in the breeding cave. Even if they wanted to fight for a breeding target, they could only fight outside the cave. They had kidnapped him inside the cave. It was all caused by the deterioration of the environment and the shortage of food after the Younger Dryas Event. However¡­ Survival of the fittest. Even if the other party had no other choice, Tan Weili would not compromise for no reason. Looking at how arrogant the other party was when he put the knife to his neck, Tan Weili caught him off guard and grabbed the arm that was holding the knife with both hands. After that, as he shook off the woman behind him¡­ He kneed the man¡¯s genitals! Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Before he came to the cave to reproduce, Tan Weili had a special breakfast with his male companion. This breakfast was made from walnuts, bee pollen, and propolis after being ground, and then dissolved in honey and water. This was an ancient secret recipe from the Caucasus region of Russia, specially designed for men¡¯s health. The person who took it only needed to eat one bowl at breakfast time to obtain an entire day¡¯s full physical strength. Even at night, he could perform like an electric drill. Therefore, even after three rounds of reproduction, Tan Weili and the others¡¯ physical strength was obviously exhausted, however, their remaining physical strength was still enough for them to launch a sneak attack! As Tan Weili¡¯s knee accurately hit the person holding him hostage, a scream that sent a chill down all the men¡¯s spines echoed in the cave. Tan Weili immediately ordered, ¡°Kill all the members of the tribe who broke the rules!¡± No one present had any objections to this. As a result, all the men present fought against those who broke the rules despite their weakness. As both sides of the battle were full of energy and had a large number of people, they had to fight. Thus, the battle was very intense. At that moment, Tan Weili, who was in the middle of the battlefield and commanding the battle, suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. He turned around and saw that the man who he had kicked in the genitals had stood up. He was holding a bloodied bone knife in his hand. That guy had launched a sneak attack on Tan Weili despite the pain! In a daze, Tan Weili touched the back of his head. He could feel that the wound on the back of his head was a little deep. To make matters worse, some of the broken bones were left in Tan Weili¡¯s wound when the bone knife pierced the back of his head. The intense pain made Tan Weili furious. He roared and rushed forward to pounce on the man. Immediately after, he pulled out a stone knife and slit the man¡¯s throat, letting the man¡¯s blood spray on his body. Even so, Tan Weili was still not satisfied. He raised the stone knife again and stabbed the man¡¯s abdomen again and again, tearing his abdominal cavity and causing his large intestine to flow out. It was a hideous sight. When the battle was over, everyone looked at Tan Weili. He was like a demon bathed in blood, making people tremble in fear. They saw Tan Weili stand up and look around. No one dared to speak, and no one even dared to breathe loudly. However¡­ After an unknown period of time, everyone heard a plop. Tan Weili fell to the ground. ¡­ ¡°How¡¯s this guy?¡± ¡°He might be dying.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a pity. I didn¡¯t expect the second shaman who tried to communicate with us to die just like that.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, the last shaman who tried to contact us was also from this tribe.¡± ¡°Perhaps there will be other shamans in this tribe who will try to contact us in the future.¡± ¡°Well, maybe we can focus on the development of this tribe.¡± ¡­ After the battle in the reproduction cave, Tan Weili was on the verge of death. However, his tribe had a tradition of treating the wounded. Therefore, the tribe members who came with Tan Weili gave up on the reproduction this year without any hesitation and carried him back to the tribe. In a daze, Tan Weili, who was in a semi-conscious state, seemed to hear some people whispering beside him. There were men and women, young and old. It was worth mentioning that their vocabulary was very complicated. It was even filled with abstract words such as ¡®future¡¯, ¡®plan¡¯, ¡®development¡¯, and ¡®regret¡¯. This made Tan Weili feel very strange. However, the moment Tan Weili opened his eyes again, these doubts and the memories related to them were retracted into the depths of his subconsciousness like the retreating sea. Looking at the cave where his tribe lived and the familiar people and things in the cave, Tan Weili mumbled to himself in confusion,¡±I¡¯m actually not dead?¡± Before he fell unconscious, he had already prepared himself for death and set up the reincarnation arrangements for his next life. He had never thought that he would actually survive. It must be known that it was currently spring, the season when all things were recovering and bacteria were breeding. The probability of infection was quite high if he was injured at this time! Once he was infected, he would not be able to survive in this era without antibiotics! However, just as Tan Weili was lamenting about how lucky he was to have survived, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from the back of his head. The intense pain almost made him faint again. There was no doubt that the pain was caused by the bone fragments that remained on the back of Tan Weili¡¯s head! Fortunately, Tan Weili had already experienced several deaths before this. In terms of pain tolerance, he was comparable to a cat! However, the excruciating pain still made Tan Weili extremely frustrated. He decided to take revenge on the tribe that had attacked him! After making the decision, Tan Weili immediately sent people to ask the other tribes about their location. After he obtained the location of the tribe, he personally led his men to the place and killed all the adult men and elderly, as well as kidnapping the women and children. Under Tan Weili¡¯s arrangement, the captives would do the most difficult labor, and their descendants would become slaves of the tribe. Under this kind of crushing production, in the autumn of 10735 BC, the tribe not only opened up a large amount of land, but also welcomed an unprecedented harvest. Due to the pain in the back of his head, Tan Weili¡¯s personality in this life gradually became violent. Having tasted the sweetness of war, he no longer hesitated and began to frequently wage war on the surrounding tribes. After rounds of war, prisoners of war, forced labor, and the expansion of production¡­ By 10725 BC, Tan Weili¡¯s tribe already had 300 slaves. The tribe¡¯s population had also reached 150 people. As the tribe¡¯s population expanded, Tan Weili also commanded the tribesmen to leave the cave and build primitive houses. Under Tan Weili¡¯s guidance, the primitive bone farm tools, organic fertilizer fermented by feces, and pottery used to store food and water were also produced. In addition, there was another important change that was gradually taking shape in Tan Weili¡¯s tribe. In his tribe, some young men had completely given up on hunting, gathering, and farming to focus on training their combat skills against humans. They were only responsible for war, suppressing slaves, and maintaining order in the tribe. They had become a full-time soldier from ancient times! A primitive Spartan government with these full-time soldiers as the ruling group was gradually taking shape in the tribe! However, due to the severe pain caused by the bones in the back of his head¡­ Even though Tan Weili had already lived a life more pampered than anyone else in this era, the flame of his life was officially extinguished when he was twenty-five years old¡­ Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation 10715 BC. It had been 85 years since Tan Weili had transmigrated to this world. He was once again born into this tribe. After 20 years of development, the tribe¡¯s population had reached 1000 people. As for the slaves, the number had reached 2500! However, since Tan Weili did not specifically design the system of the tribe, the tribe did not form a perfect class society. Only the stronger ones amongst the soldiers were able to win over the hearts of the people with their individual courage and prestige, and they were showing signs of becoming the magnates of the tribe. So, under the system¡¯s arrangement, Tan Weili was born to the elder sister of a magnate in the tribe. Under the arrangement of Tan Weili¡¯s magnate uncle, which was half threatening and half bribing, although the system in this life did not give Tan Weili any special treatment, he still became the new apprentice shaman. After ten years of learning, Tan Weili sent away his former student, who he was now an apprentice of. Then, he told a story to the children of the tribe. ¡°Once upon a time, the god of death descended from the sky and landed in the west, raising a cloud of dust that covered the sky.¡± ¡°The land that has lost the sun¡¯s illumination has fallen into a thousand years of ice-cold.¡± ¡°In order to survive, people changed their hunting and gathering lifestyle under the guidance of their ancestors and started to plant grass seeds.¡± ¡°You need the right time to plant the grass seeds. If you plant them at the wrong time, the edible grass seeds will die.¡± ¡°Our ancestors told us that the stars can guide us when to plant the grass seeds.¡± ¡°If we want to understand the guidance of the stars, we need to pile the stones together.¡± To the people of the future, this story seemed to be a legend. However, for the tribal children of this era, this was definitely a rather orthodox science fiction story! This was because the background of this story was the present they were living in. However, the timing of planting the grass seeds was purely based on the judgment of the elders. To the tribal children of this era, the operation of determining the sowing time by piling up stones was like a submarine in the eyes of the children of the future. It was magical, but it was definitely not far away! After listening to Tan Weili¡¯s story, a child immediately asked, ¡°Shaman,is it really possible to determine the sowing time by stacking stones?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll find out in the future!¡± Since the back of his head was no longer being stimulated by the bone pieces, Tan Weili¡¯s temper was much better. He smiled and gave an ambiguous answer to the children¡¯s questions. In the next 15 years, Tan Weili built up his personal prestige in the tribe while telling the children in the tribe the story of building the giant stone formation of Stonehenge. It was 10690 BC. The oldest child in the tribe who had listened to Tan Weili¡¯s story about the giant stone formation was already 23 years old. These children, who were brought up by Tan Weili, held the power of the tribe. When Tan Weili gave the order to build the stone formation, the children excitedly carried out the order as if they were participating in the plot of a science fiction novel. The young and strong slaves of the tribe began to transport a large number of boulders from dozens of kilometers away during their free time. Under Tan Weili¡¯s arrangement, the boulders were stacked in specific positions. Four years later. When the last giant stone with white paint was pulled by the primitive machinery, it was hung on the towering stone pillar of the giant stone formation. The three points in the center of the giant stone formation formed a straight line at the position of the setting sun during the spring equinox. Tan Weili announced happily, ¡°Boys, the giant stone formation is done! Let¡¯s celebrate!¡± In an instant, the members of the tribe burst out in cheers that could topple mountains and overturn seas! A sacrificial ceremony was held in the huge stone formation. At the same time, Tan Weili heard the system¡¯s voice. [Stonehenge of Salisbury completed! Special ability unlocked!] [Congratulations, you have obtained a special ability: [Communicate with nature spirits!]] [As the wonder of the earliest religious ceremony, the stone array has an indescribable and wonderful power.] [Therefore, the host responsible for building this wonder will receive the ability to communicate with nature spirits and make transactions with them!] [Congratulations, you have obtained a special ability: [Astrology!]] [Due to the astrological ability of Stonehenge, the host will automatically obtain the ability to predict the future through astrological divination!] [Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the right to reincarnate: Mythical Language!]] [Due to the religious and mythological significance of Stonehenge, the system has unlocked the ability to lock the prototype of the mythological and legendary characters of various civilizations for the host and allow the host to be born in their identities!] [Stonehenge has been completed. All the wonders of the ancient era have been completed!] [You have unlocked the right to reincarnate into the classical era!] [The host can freely choose the time of your next birth. It will be no later than 21st century B.C.] A large amount of information poured into Tan Weili¡¯s mind, and he couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed. Even though the social environment in the ancient era was still bad. However, compared to ancient times, it had already improved by a considerable degree. Looking back at all the suffering he had gone through over the past hundred years, Tan Weili suddenly felt that it was all worth it! Just then, a few figures suddenly appeared around Tan Weili. Some of them were like old men with white hair and long beards. They didn¡¯t smile, and their eyes were filled with lightning. Some of them were wearing long dresses woven from straw. Although they were dressed like primitive people, they were beautiful and charming like fairies. Their eyes were like stars in the night sky, shining brightly. Some of them were wearing leather armor and holding spears. They had scars and tattoos on their faces, looking like the most courageous and fierce soldiers. Some of them were hidden in a cloud of gray-black smoke. Although their outer appearance could not be seen, they exuded a terrifying and cold aura. There was another person with a full bosom and a bulging stomach, like a fat pregnant woman. However, under their crotch, there were the reproductive organs of both men and women. ¡°I¡¯m the God of Thunder and Lightning!¡± ¡°I am the God of Agriculture and Astrology!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the God of War!¡± ¡°I am the God of Frost and Death!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the God of Fertility!¡± The five of them surrounded Tan Weili and introduced themselves. The God of Thunder and Lightning, the God of Agriculture and Astrology, the God of War, the God of Frost and Death, and the God of Fertility? Weren¡¯t they the idols of their tribe? He didn¡¯t expect to be able to see them after the completion of Stonehenge. ¡°Is there something you need?¡±Tan Weili asked as he looked at the gods. The leading God of Thunder and Lightning said, ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve opened the bridge between man and god, and connected us.¡± ¡°In that case, are you willing to become our servant and represent our will in the human world?¡± ¡°If you are willing, we will grant you endless life!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s face darkened when he heard that. He didn¡¯t build Stonehenge to be someone¡¯s servant! As for endless life? He had no interest in staying in this backward primitive era for thousands of years! ¡°What if I say I refuse?¡±Tan Weili said coldly. As soon as these words came out, the gods were stunned. But very quickly, the God of Frost and Death said in a hoarse voice,¡±No one can disobey the gods! If you reject us, you will die!¡± Tan Weili laughed coldly. ¡°Death? You can kill me all you want!¡± As he spoke, he had already set the conditions for his reincarnation. If these gods dared to kill him¡­ After Tan Weili reincarnated, he would make these gods pay the price! After that, the gods said no more. The God of Death and Frost summoned a cloud of black mist and swept it toward Tan Weili. The moment he was enveloped by the black mist, Tan Weili could clearly feel his life slipping away. He had already formed a grudge with these gods, so Tan Weili didn¡¯t bother to say anything more. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. The giant stone formation in front of him had already disappeared. In front of him, a scene of yellow sand filling the sky appeared. According to his settings, in this life, he would be reincarnated into the body of the Pharaoh Sekeheim, who was at the end of the second dynasty in Ancient Egypt in the 27th century BC. At the same time, under the effect of Stonehenge, he was also given another identity by the system: The Guardian God of Ancient Egypt¡¯s pharaohs, the symbol of royal power, the God of Revenge, Horus! Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I¡¯ve arrived in Ancient Egypt?¡± In a Palace in Memphis, Egypt. The system¡¯s voice, which had been silent for thousands of years after Tan Weili¡¯s reincarnation, rang in his ears again. [Congratulations on waking up again!] [After 7960 years of slumber, you have successfully arrived at the second dynasty of Ancient Egypt!] [As per your request, you have become the son of the fourth pharaoh of the second dynasty, Pharaoh Possibson.] [At the same time, under the effects of Stonehenge, you will also have the identity of a god. You are the God of Ancient Egypt¡¯s royalty and revenge, the son of the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris, Horus!] [Long time no see, my host!] Tan Weili was stunned by this. Due to Tan Weili¡¯s death, the system had entered a dormant state since 10686 BC. It was not until he was born in this world after 2726 BC that the system finally woke up from its dormancy. However, to Tan Wei, the last time he had heard the system¡¯s voice was only a few seconds ago. Therefore, he didn¡¯t have any feelings of reminiscence. At this moment, he only wanted to finish what he had been interrupted by the gods who had killed him. He wanted to check his gains after building Stonehenge. According to the system, after the completion of Stonehenge, he had gained the special ability to communicate with the spirits of nature and astrology, as well as the additional authority of a mythical character when he reincarnated. He was now just a baby who had fallen to the ground, so it was not convenient for him to perform astrology and communicate with the nature spirits. Thus, he decided to study his own divine power. Tan Weili¡¯s eyes opened and closed. In the next moment, his baby face suddenly changed. His eyes became bigger and rounder, and he shifted his gaze to the sides of his face. Brown feathers and a sharp beak quickly grew out of his originally fragile skin, turning him into a child with an eagle¡¯s head and a human body. Such an appearance was clearly the image of Horus in Ancient Egypt mythology! However, even though Tan Weili¡¯s appearance had changed drastically¡­ However, the palace maids who were standing on the cradle and serving him to sleep did not react at all. He touched the beak on his face and asked,¡±Isn¡¯t this maid afraid of me? Is she already used to such a scene?¡± Before the system could answer, a slightly old and decaying voice solved Tan Weili¡¯s confusion. ¡°Your body hasn¡¯t changed.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that you, who are in the Divine Realm, have seen your image as a god!¡± ¡­ ¡°Who is it?¡± Tan Weili immediately became alert when he heard the unfamiliar voice. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a god with an eagle¡¯s head and a human body, just like himself, standing beside his cradle and looking at him calmly. Seeing Tan Weili¡¯s alert expression, the god with the eagle head said indifferently,¡±It seems that you, who fell into a deep sleep since you were born, don¡¯t know anything about this world!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s brain worked quickly as he examined the other person¡¯s appearance. He quickly found an existence that matched the appearance of the god in the Egypt pantheon. Thus, he asked in a probing tone,¡±The Sun God, Ra?¡± Upon hearing this, Sun God Ra¡¯s expression softened a little. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re not completely clueless about everything!¡± Ra said. It wasn¡¯t to the extent of not knowing anything. However, Tan Weili did not know one thing. According to Ra, Horus had been in a deep sleep since he was born. And this did not match the description of Horus in Egypt mythology! ¡®System, what¡¯s going on?¡¯ The system explained, [In accordance with the host¡¯s wish to become Horus, the system has branded Horus with the host¡¯s personality when he was first born, making him a part of the host.] [However, since you were in a state of death at that time, you, as a part of the god, will also be in a state of muddled sleep!] Tan Weili understood. However, after that question was answered, Tan Weili was confused about another thing. He asked the system, ¡®Then, if I die again, what will happen to me as a part of Horus?¡¯ [With the host¡¯s death, Horus will once again fall into a deep sleep.] [Unless you build a Great Pyramid, bury your body within it, and resurrect yourself into this life in the future, you will not be able to use Horus¡¯ power!] The system¡¯s answer cleared Tan Weili¡¯s doubts. After finishing his conversation with the system, Tan Weili turned his gaze back to Ra. Of course, he could not explain his situation to Ra. Otherwise, if the other party knew that Horus had become a part of an unknown outsider since birth, they would definitely not let him off. Tan Weili combined the history and myths of Ancient Egypt and said to Ra, ¡°I fell into a deep sleep because of the division of Egypt, and I will naturally wake up because the power of the pharaoh is about to rule every inch of Egypt.¡± Ra was shocked by Tan Weili¡¯s explanation. The power of a pharaoh was about to rule every inch of Egypt? This was something that even he had not predicted. If this was true, then Horus really was a special god! Ra said, ¡°If I were you, I would be careful.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s a man or a god, there are many existences that don¡¯t want Egypt to be unified.¡± Tan Weili narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He knew what Ra meant, so he said,¡±Don¡¯t worry! I will hide in the palace until I become an adult.¡± ¡­ Time flew by like an arrow. 14 years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past 14 years, Sun God Ra had not spread the prophecy that Egypt would be unified, which would cause unnecessary trouble for Tan Weili. And Tan Weili was just as he had said, living a life of seclusion. However, Ra still sent down an oracle through a priest, telling Tan Weili¡¯s current father in the human world, Possibson, that his son was the newly awakened God of Royalty, Horus. Possibson, who learned the truth, was both surprised and delighted. In order to celebrate the awakening of the God of royalty, Possibson immediately gave Tan Weili a special name. Sekeheim meant ¡®the birth of power¡¯! Just as Tan Weili¡¯s birthday was about to come, an oracle suddenly descended from the Divine Realm to the human world. The gods will hold a grand celebration for Horus¡¯ awakening at Sekeheim¡¯s 14th coming-of-age ceremony! However, the host of the ceremony was not Sekeheim¡¯s father, Pharaoh Possibson. Neither was it Horus¡¯s father, Osiris. The host of the ceremony had a divine name that surprised Tan Weili, ¡®Set!¡¯ He was surprised because, in Egypt mythology, it was Set who had killed Horus¡¯ father and killed Osiris, usurping his position. After that, Horus went through a series of acts of revenge and took back the position of pharaoh. ¡­To let his future enemy host his coming-of-age ceremony,Tan Weili didn¡¯t understand what the Egypt gods were thinking. ¡­ At the same time, in a dark and lightless Set¡¯s temple, a priest knelt in front of the god¡¯s statue with a jackal head and a human body, praying devoutly. Suddenly, he heard Set¡¯s gloomy voice, ¡°Are you all ready?¡± Upon hearing his master¡¯s question, the priest who served Set replied in a trembling voice, ¡°According to your guidance, your servant has found the powerful jackal.¡± ¡°This will be a test for His Highness Horus. We will defeat him and announce to the ignorant people Horus¡¯ weakness and your strength!¡± Very good! Set nodded in satisfaction and left the temple. At this moment, Set was ready to usurp the position of the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris. As Osiris¡¯ son, Horus, who had suddenly awoken, was clearly an obstacle to his plan to usurp the throne. Since he was an obstacle, Set could only get rid of Horus! Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although Set was the host of Horus¡¯s awakening ceremony in name¡­ However, as a god, Set would not perform in front of others. Therefore, the actual host of the ceremony was the priest who served Set. Under the arrangement of Set¡¯s priest, the ceremony of Horus¡¯ awakening was held in the Temple of the Sun in Memphis. As the Sun God of Egypt, Ra was the leader of the gods. Allowing Horus to hold a celebration in his temple was definitely politically correct! As the day of the celebration arrived, Tan Weili entered the Temple of the Sun under the arrangement of Set¡¯s priests. Under the guidance of these priests, he went through the long and narrow passage and went all the way up to a terrace at the highest point of the temple. However, just as Tan Weili was about to walk out of the balcony, he suddenly felt a strange chill around him. At the same time, he could hear the shrieks of thousands of ghosts. Tan Weili, who felt something strange, immediately stopped. He looked around but only saw Set¡¯s priest looking at him in confusion. ¡°Your Highness Horus, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you guys feel cold?¡± Tan Weili asked. The priests were all stunned by Tan Weili¡¯s question. How could it be cold in the temple of the Sun God, Ra? However, just as the leading priest was about to speak, a cold wind suddenly blew past him from behind. The priest immediately changed his words and said,¡±It¡¯s indeed a little cold¡­¡± Tan Weili understood. He closed his eyes and entered the dimension of the Divine Realm. The moment he entered the Divine Realm, Tan Weili transformed into Horus, who had the head of an eagle and the body of a human. In front of him, a man with a majestic and cold aura with a curled beard appeared. He was none other than Horus¡¯ father, the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris! ¡°Father!¡± When he saw Osiris, Tan Weili nodded in respect. Osiris waved his hand and said,¡±The road to unifying Egypt will be full of obstacles. Are you ready?¡± Although Ra did not spread the news that Egypt was about to be unified, he still told Osiris about Horus¡¯ prophecy. Osiris had mixed feelings about his son, who had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. On the one hand, he didn¡¯t want his son to bear too much. However, he also knew that since the birth of these gods, they were destined to be bound to the authority and myths created by mortals for them. The mortals admired their power, but they didn¡¯t know that the gods also envied their freedom. Even though he was the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris could only stand in front of his son and ask him if he was ready to go. This would put him at ease. In response to Osiris¡¯ question, Tan Weili¡¯s eyes brimmed with confidence as he smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! The unification of Egypt will be unstoppable!¡± Upon seeing this, Osiris did not say anything more and gave way to his son. The next moment, Tan Weili walked out of the temple and onto the balcony. At this moment, the terrace was already filled with people. Some of them were nobles in fine clothes and jewelry. Some were men and women, all topless, with only a piece of cloth wrapped around their waists. There were also slaves who could not afford clothes and could only be naked. However, when Tan Weili appeared on the balcony, they all shouted his divine and human name in unison. ¡°Horus! Sekeheim!¡± ¡°Horus! Sekeheim!¡± ¡°Horus! Sekeheim!¡± Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Tan Weili waved his hand to signal to them. Then, under the organization of the priests, the crowd once again sang songs of praise for the Sun God Ra, Horus¡¯ father, the Lord of the Netherworld Osiris, and Horus. They once again held a sacrifice to the gods. Even Tan Weili received an offering from the priest¡­ The feeling of being offered sacrifices and being prayed to for blessings was quite strange. In particular, some aristocrats hoped that they could follow the rule of the pharaoh and enjoy the power of aristocrats for thousands of generations. However, he still wanted to say something to the nobles. ¡®There is no eternity in the royal power!¡¯ After these rituals and celebrations ended, the main event of the day was coming! Under the guidance of Set¡¯s priest, a 1.5-meter long and 70-centimeter tall giant jackal, which was twice the size of an ordinary jackal, walked to the terrace. Then, a priest announced loudly, ¡°Here, on behalf of my master, Set, I am carrying out a divine order to test His Highness Horus!¡± ¡°In this test, His Highness Horus will have to face the attack of the messenger of God Set alone and defeat it!¡± Upon hearing this, Osiris, who was in the Divine Realm, looked at Set coldly. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Upon hearing this, the jackal-headed Set nonchalantly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my brother! I just want to train this child.¡± ¡°After all, it¡¯s not a good thing to spoil someone blindly!¡± Hearing these words, Osiris snorted coldly and looked at Sun God Ra. However, the oldest leader among the gods just closed his eyes and rested, not saying a word. Ra had acquiesced to this trial. He did not think that Horus would be easily defeated by the jackal that Set had brought. Therefore, he wanted to use Set¡¯s hands to test the abilities of Horus, who had predicted things that even he did not know about. However, the next moment, a killing intent that was even colder than Osiris¡¯ Netherworld aura and even more violent than Set¡¯s killing intent suddenly came from the balcony. Under this killing intent, the gods all felt their hearts palpitate. How was that possible? Set¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Horus on the balcony. Horus was able to stop his pet from moving with just his killing intent. Didn¡¯t Horus fall into a deep sleep from the moment he was born? Where did he get such a powerful and terrifying murderous aura? Something must have gone wrong! In fact, Set¡¯s judgment was not wrong. If Horus had been the only one fighting the jackal on the balcony, he would not have been able to release such a powerful killing intent. However, Horus was only a part of Tan Weili! His main body was actually a terrifying upright human that had come from the ancient times 8000 years ago and had experienced hundreds of years of harsh environments. His hunting and fighting abilities had reached the peak! If Set had arranged a warrior with unparalleled martial arts skills for Tan Weili, he might have been able to defeat him. But wild beasts? They were just Tan Weili¡¯s prey! He only needed one look to make his prey shiver! Looking at the gods who were watching him in the Divine Realm, Tan Weili sneered and stepped forward¡­ With his hands, he broke the neck of the jackal that had lost its ability to resist! ¡­ At night, in the palace. After the coming-of-age ceremony, Pharaoh Possibson held a palace banquet for him. After the meal, Tan Weili walked back to his room alone. Suddenly, he caught a whiff of a faint fragrance. A faint melodious tune also appeared in his ears. This was not the first time Tan Weili felt something like this, so he immediately stopped. He closed his eyes and came to the Divine Realm. A sweet and cute girl with bull ears, who looked like an elf, appeared in front of Tan Weili. Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Seeing the girl¡¯s iconic cow ears, Tan Weili immediately recognized her. She was the Goddess of Love and Beauty, the Goddess of Wealth, the Goddess of Dance, and the Goddess of Music, Hathor. In addition, in Egypt mythology, she also had another identity, the wife of the red-eyed Horus. However, Tan Weili, who had come to Egypt, had never heard that he and Hathor had been married. It was not strange. After all, before he was reincarnated, Horus had been in a deep sleep. Even if fate had determined that he and Hathor would become husband and wife, he would have to wait until Horus woke up, right? Since Hathor wasn¡¯t his wife yet, Tan Weili was more polite and restrained. He tried his best not to look at Hathor¡¯s chest. As the Goddess of Love and Beauty, one of Hathor¡¯s forms was a cow. Even in her most human form, her chest still¡­ ¡°It¡¯s so late, what¡¯s up Hathor,¡± Tan Weili said softly. As Egypt was a relatively early civilization, the gods described by mortals were generally rough and reckless. Even the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris, who was more like a mature ruler, would also wantonly show off the terrifying Netherworld aura on his body. He did not know how to restrain himself. So, this was the first time Hathor had seen a god as gentle and refined as Tan Weili. This made Hathor¡¯s face blush uncontrollably. Fortunately, she did not forget her mission. Trying hard to calm her heart, Hathor said,¡±Horus, your condition today is a little strange. I would like to know if you have accepted the power from Ra?¡± Tan Weili was stunned by Hathor¡¯s question. He didn¡¯t understand why Hathor asked this question, so he tried to recall the Ancient Egypt mythology he knew. Soon, he remembered a past that belonged to Hathor¡­ As Ra¡¯s daughter, Hathor had once received Ra¡¯s eyes that had the power of the sun. However, how violent was Ra¡¯s divine sun power? Under the influence of the power, Hathor¡¯s personality changed drastically, and she became a brutal valkyrie! She had started a large number of wars and massacres, directed the people to be plunged into misery and suffering, and caused rivers of blood to flow. In the end, Ra had to use all his strength to take back the divine sun power from Hathor. Since then, Hathor had been very afraid of the Sun God¡¯s power. When Tan Weili had displayed his strong and violent killing intent on the balcony today, Hathor had suspected that Tan Weili had obtained Ra¡¯s power and was in a state where he could lose control at any moment! Tan Weili didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry at Hathor¡¯s concern. He asked Hathor,¡±Look at me. Do I look like I¡¯m going to lose control at any moment after receiving the divine sun power?¡± Upon hearing this, Hathor¡¯s watery eyes began to scan his body. Looking at Tan Weili¡¯s gentle and elegant appearance, there were no signs of him losing control. However, Hathor was still worried. She asked Tan Weili,¡±You really did not accept the divine sun power?¡± Tan Weili laughed.¡±I might accept divine sun power in the future, but I don¡¯t have it now.¡± ¡°My power comes from myself, not from any god.¡± That included Horus! With Tan Weili¡¯s assurance, Hathor was relieved. However, even though Hathor was certain that Horus was not showing any signs of losing control, she felt that if she were to stand in front of Horus, she would lose control in another sense at any time. In order not to lose her composure, Hathor had to bid farewell to the other party and turned to leave. But just as she turned the corner, she heard the maids in the palace talking in low voices. ¡°Did you see His Highness Horus¡¯ performance today? He¡¯s too handsome!¡± ¡°What are you thinking? No matter how handsome His Highness Horus is, it¡¯s not your turn! You! Don¡¯t even think about it! As a god, His Highness can only marry a god!¡± ¡°Eh? Can you not be so direct?! You¡¯ll get your retribution! But then again¡­ Which goddess do you think will marry His Highness?¡± ¡°Emmm¡­ I think Her Highness Hathor is not bad! What do you think?¡± Hearing the maid¡¯s words, Hathor could no longer control herself. She quickly took control of her face, and a strange feeling unconsciously appeared between her legs. Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground¡­ ¡­ On the other side, Tan Weili, who had just said goodbye to Hathor, smelled the stench of mummies and heard the whispers of ghosts. This feeling was somewhat similar to when he faced Osiris, but there were also some subtle differences. In the next second, Tan Weili turned around and saw a god with a jackal¡¯s head appear in front of him. That was Anubis, Horus¡¯ half-brother! ¡°Horus, you¡¯re not bad! As Ra¡¯s daughter, Hathor is the most aloof of the goddesses. ¡± ¡°There were countless gods who wanted to pursue her, but they were all ruthlessly rejected by her.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that she would actually like you!¡± Tan Weili remained silent in response to Anubis¡¯ jeering. He was not a scumbag who liked to boast about how attractive he was in front of women. Even if he participated in walking marriages during the Stone Age, it was only to fulfill his reproductive obligation as a part of human beings. Even if Hathor was destined to be his future wife, he didn¡¯t want to comment on her as if she was a trophy. But he couldn¡¯t say that he wasn¡¯t interested in Hathor. ¡®If Hathor finds out about this, it¡¯ll be troublesome¡­¡¯ Therefore, he could only ask, ¡°Did you come to me just to talk about this?¡± to Anubis with questioning eyes. Seeing that his brother was not willing to talk too much about this issue, Anubis tactfully changed the topic. He said with a serious face, ¡°Ra and my father didn¡¯t allow me to see you before your awakening ceremony, so I had to come to find you as soon as the awakening ceremony ended.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Hearing this, Tan Weili¡¯s eagle-like eyes stared at Anubis, and his expression became serious. Then, he heard Anubis ask him,¡±In your sleep over the past hundreds of years, I noticed that you had looked toward the northwest unconsciously several times with a ferocious expression that seemed to be filled with hatred.¡± ¡°In order to investigate what¡¯s in the northwest, I went to the northwest alone to explore.¡± ¡°In the end, I saw a few city-states on a small island that were as civilized as Egypt, and the gods that the mortals believed in.¡± ¡°I want to know, what¡¯s your relationship with the people there?¡± Tan Weili was stunned when he heard that. He had never thought that Anubis would travel all the way from Egypt to England. The distance between Egypt and United Kingdom was over 4000 kilometers! In this era, 4000 kilometers was a distance that could not be crossed! Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In fact, the reason why Tan Weili had chosen Horus as his identity in this life was not only because it was convenient for him to build the pyramid, but also because he had the authority of the God of Revenge to take revenge on the primitive gods of England. However, he also knew that England was more than 4000 kilometers away from Egypt. With the technology of the 28th century BC, it was impossible for him to run to England in his lifetime. Therefore, according to Tan Weili¡¯s previous plan, he actually planned to unify Egypt first. Then, they would gather the power of the entire civilization to climb the technology tree, allowing Egypt to develop enough technology to cross the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, all the way to England, and complete his revenge. However, when Anubis told Tan Weili that he had been to England, he immediately overturned all his previous plans! He decided to go to England for revenge first, and then come back to think about the unification of Egypt and the pyramid. He immediately asked Anubis,¡±How did you get to that place?¡± Hearing this, Anubis said,¡±Isn¡¯t that simple? As long as we determine the direction and keep moving forward, we will be able to reach it in no time.¡± ¡°Although those gods were not as strong as the gods in Egypt, I was far away from Egypt, while the gods were fighting together. I was at a disadvantage, and I had to run back to Egypt¡­¡± Hearing Anubis¡¯ irrelevant answer, Tan Weili¡¯s head was filled with black lines. He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. He said seriously,¡±I hope to get the way to that island from you!¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Anubis was embarrassed when he saw the determination in Tan Weili¡¯s eyes. He suddenly recalled that Horus was a god who had been in a deep sleep since his birth. It had only been fourteen years since he had awakened! This meant that he actually did not understand some of the rules of the Divine Realm. Anubis had no choice but to tell his brother,¡±As gods, we have power that mortals can¡¯t even imagine. As long as your divine power is strong enough, you can completely break through the territory of your own civilization and go far away.¡± ¡°But you must also pay attention¡­ As the distance between you and your own civilization grows, your strength will also decline.¡± ¡°So, when your strength drops to a certain level, you must return. Otherwise, you¡¯ll lose your power as a god and be forever lost in the desert of the Divine Realm, far away from civilization!¡± After hearing Anubis ¡®explanation, Tan Weili finally understood. In the first 14 years of this life, he had always hidden in the palace, not leaving the main door, not stepping out. Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him to test the limits of the gods¡¯ power and completely understand what the gods could and could not do. This was especially true for experiments like breaking through the territory of a civilization, which was a field that he had no way of starting. Therefore, when Tan Weili sensed that the power of the gods actually came from the civilization that believed in him, he took it for granted that the gods could only rely on the actions of civilization. If he wanted to go to England, he had to first send the Egypt colonists who believed in him to the place, build a stronghold, and spread his faith. It seemed that a conclusion made without any experiments could still be wrong. After realizing that he did not know much about the power of the gods, Tan Weili decided to seriously consult Anubis. He continued to ask,¡±Anubis, my brother, as a God, you can use this method to reach the island.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m a demigod. Do you think I can drag my body to the place?¡± When Anubis¡¯ jackal head heard his brother¡¯s question, it revealed a very human-like, exaggerated expression of doubt. ¡°Ha?¡± He looked at Tan Weili and said in a strange tone,¡±Why do you think we don¡¯t know what a demigod is like?¡± ¡°In the hundreds of years that you were asleep, we have been testing our strength every day!¡± Anubis looked at his brother¡¯s ignorant face and decided to teach him the necessary knowledge. The jackal-headed god said, ¡°In this world, the mortal world and the Divine Realm are two distinct worlds. No matter how powerful a god is, they can only affect mortals in the Divine Realm and cannot interfere with them or hurt them on the material level.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s one kind of existence that¡¯s an exception, and that¡¯s humans or animals with divinity!¡± ¡°These existences may have obtained divinity due to their own piety or other reasons. And as the target¡¯s divinity increases, the extent of its divine power¡¯s influence will also deepen!¡± ¡°Just like your body in the human world, Sekeheim, your demigod body is the pinnacle of divinity that humans can master! In this case, you only need to pay twice the amount of effort to bring your body in the human world to the place you want to go!¡± Uh¡­ Alright! He had been too careless. Although the gods were limited by their own authority and the influence of legends, their actions in some fields were quite limited. However, they were not fools. They would also explore the limits of the fields that they could touch with common sense. However, even though it was theoretically possible for him to go to England, he was still worried. In reality, his side as Horus was in a long slumber and could not provide him with enough divine power. He had to think of a way! Tan Weili thought. What should he do? Suddenly, Tan Weili remembered what Hathor had told him. She asked him if he had accepted Sun God Ra¡¯s divine sun power and was on the verge of losing control. Hathor¡¯s question reminded Tan Weili that he could try to find Ra, borrow the Eye of the Sun God from him, and use its powerful power to go to England! Without any hesitation, Tan Weili told Anubis his thoughts. However, when Anubis heard his brother¡¯s plan, he was shocked. He shouted at Tan Weili, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear Hathor say that she once went out of control because she tried to contain the divine power of the sun?¡± ¡°You are going to absorb the divine sun power? Do you have the ability to do so?¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t care about that. He said to Anubis,¡±In the future, I will merge with Ra¡¯s power for some reason and become a god called Ra-Horakhty.¡± ¡°So, I can tolerate Ra¡¯s divine power without losing control!¡± Hearing this, Anubis was stunned. As a god, Anubis could hear the prophetic nature of his brother¡¯s words. According to divine rules, Tan Weili¡¯s prediction was almost impossible to be wrong! Therefore, if Tan Weili said that Horus could tolerate Ra¡¯s power, then Horus could do it! Anubis looked at Tan Weili in confusion. He did not understand what Horus was capable of to be able to tolerate Ra¡¯s divine power. Even Ra¡¯s daughter, the goddess Hathor, had failed in her attempt to contain the divine power of the sun. This Horus was able to do something that Hathor could not. This guy was too abnormal! Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Even though Tan Weili had already predicted that he would be able to contain Ra¡¯s power, Anubis still found it hard to believe that it was true because it was too magical. With a skeptical attitude, he decided to bring his brother to Ra and ask the Sun God Ra to give him power. Since Tan Weili also had the idea of looking for Ra to obtain the divine sun power, he naturally would not reject Anubis¡¯ decision. So, the two brothers went to the Temple of the Sun together to find Ra. On the way, Anubis told Tan Weili, ¡°Horus, remember this! As the head of all gods, Ra will definitely not give his power to you just like that. He will definitely reject your request first.¡± ¡°But he won¡¯t be absolute¡­ The most likely scenario is that Ra will arrange a test for you. As long as you can pass the test, Ra will bestow his power upon you!¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°First it was Set, then it was Ra. All of you really like to play with tests!¡± Anubis¡¯s mouth twitched. However, he knew that his brother had only been awake for fourteen years and was still in a state of ignorance about everything. Therefore, he didn¡¯t think there was anything strange about what the other party said. He explained patiently,¡±If you have some kind of powerful power or some precious treasure, and your believers pray to you to borrow them for a short time, will you set up some kind of test to evaluate whether the other party is qualified to borrow your things?¡± ¡°You have to learn to put yourself in others¡¯ shoes, my brother! You¡¯ll encounter this kind of thing in the future.¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili¡¯s thoughts suddenly scattered. He said,¡±What you said is interesting. Maybe I can cancel the power of the nobles and let everyone become civilians.¡± ¡°And those who want power must pass my test¡­ Those who passed the test of governing a country could become civil servants. And those who pass the combat test can become military officers.¡± Anubis staggered and almost fell to the ground. After finally stabilizing himself, Anubis said,¡±Although I don¡¯t know much about power, I feel that what you¡¯re doing will definitely change the world!¡± The two brothers chatted idly. Soon, they arrived at Ra¡¯s temple. After entering the temple, Anubis reminded Tan Weili again,¡±¡±Remember! Ra definitely won¡¯t agree to give you power directly, but even if he refuses you, don¡¯t give up! If you continue to make sincere requests, Ra will definitely give you a test first and grant you the power after you complete it.¡± Tan Weili did not comment on Anubis¡¯ words. Thus, they entered the depths of the Temple of the Sun. It was worth mentioning that the Temple of the Sun had been carefully designed by Egypt craftsmen and priests. There was a long and narrow passage at the top, which went all the way down to the temple, on top of the statue of Sun God Ra. Due to the tricky angle of the passage, it was thin and long, so sunlight could not pass through this passage and enter the Temple of the Sun. Only at noon on the summer solstice, when the sun was at its highest point, would the sunlight pass through the passage and fall on the statue of Sun God Ra. When the two brothers walked to the statue of the Sun God in the depths of the temple, they saw Ra sitting in front of his statue. In Egypt mythology, Ra was an old man whose power was gradually weakening and was about to die. Thus, as long as there was a chance, Ra would close his eyes to rest and strive to recover some energy. Hearing the arrival of the two brothers, Ra opened his eyes and asked,¡±What are you guys doing here?¡± Before Tan Weili could say anything, Anubis answered with a sincere expression,¡±The Great God Ra! My brother, Horus, hopes to go to a place far away from Egypt¡¯s territory, but his divine power is not enough to support his expedition.¡± ¡°So, we ask you to grant him the Eye of the Sun God and provide him with enough power to support him to reach the distance!¡± In Anubis¡¯ mind, Ra would definitely reject his request. But that didn¡¯t matter. As long as he continued to pester Horus, Ra would definitely give Horus a chance and test him. However, Ra only glanced at Anubis before he said to Tan Weili,¡±Sure!¡± Hearing this, Anubis could not react in time. He immediately said the lines he had prepared in advance,¡±The Great God Ra! Please consider my brother¡¯s misfortune and give him a chance! He has been sleeping since he was born!¡± Tan Weili only wanted to cover his eyes with his hands. Ra was even more direct. He kicked Anubis and said in a low voice,¡±You fool! I said I agree! Didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± Eh? Hearing this, Anubis, who was kicked to the ground by Ra, did not react immediately. He lay on the ground, stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at Tan Weili beside him in disbelief. ¡®What¡¯s going on? Why did God Ra agree so readily this time?¡¯ A huge question was lingering in Anubis ¡®mind. However, Tan Weili could tell that Ra had something else to say. Hence, he said to Anubis,¡±Brother, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to go out and find a priest who can hear your oracle. Ask him to tell Pharaoh Possibson that I¡¯m coming to the Temple of the Sun tonight, so don¡¯t worry,¡± Anubis only reacted when he heard Tan Weili¡¯s words. He immediately got up from the ground and left the Temple of the Sun. Before he left, he grinned at Tan Weili and said,¡±Perform well! Good luck, Brother!¡± Tan Weili ignored Anubis. After he left, he looked at Ra and asked,¡±Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Ra did not speak immediately. He first looked at Tan Weili deeply and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said,¡±The power you used in today¡¯s battle seems to be older than mine?¡± Eh? Tan Weili was surprised to hear that. Speaking of which, Ra¡¯s description was right. The killing intent in Tan Weili¡¯s Divine Realm came from the Stone Age in 10000 B.C. At that time, not to mention Ra, even the tribal shaman who first suggested Ra hadn¡¯t been born yet! It was true that his power was more ancient than Ra¡¯s. However, Tan Weili did not know how to explain this. Thus, he could only remain silent. Seeing that he was silent, Ra nodded and said,¡±You seem to be hiding a lot of secrets. But it doesn¡¯t matter. I just want to know, how did you obtain this ancient power?¡± ¡°Do you have the ability to extend the life of gods?¡± ¡°How is it? Let¡¯s make a deal! As long as you tell me how I can stop aging and return to being young, I will lend you my divine sun power!¡± However, Tan Weili¡¯s eyes were suddenly filled with sorrow when he heard that. This sadness was not lamenting about himself, but about Ra. He said to Ra,¡±Everything in this world will die. Even the gods are no exception.¡± ¡°One day, humans will be free from the rule of the gods and live on this land alone with rational thinking.¡± ¡°At that time, all the gods will die! That includes you and me, as Horus!¡± Humans would be free from the rule of the gods? All the gods would die? Hearing this prophecy, Ra, who was as powerful as the leader of all gods, couldn¡¯t help but feel his heart tremble! Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the oasis by the Nile River. Tan Weili¡¯s expression was a little strange as he hid in the dark and listened to the sounds of Osiris and Isis making a baby. In Ancient Egypt mythology, Osiris and Isis were Horus¡¯ parents. Horus, on the other hand, was a part of Tan Weili. In other words, Osiris and Isis were Tan Weili¡¯s parents¡­ As someone who had gone through several reincarnations, Tan Weili¡¯s parents could be counted on two hands. However, this was the first time he had experienced watching his parents create himself on a live stream. On one hand, he felt that he should avoid arousing suspicion and give the two elders some space. But on the other hand, he couldn¡¯t help but feel curious and wanted to take a look. This kind of curiosity did not contain any lust. It was purely an impulse to explore where he came from. Fortunately, this strange feeling did not last long. After three rounds of battle, Isis had completely squeezed Osiris dry. Looking at his wife who was sitting on top of him, Osiris asked while panting,¡±My dear, are you pregnant?¡± ¡°I¡¯m pregnant. I can feel a new life being born in my body.¡± As a god who held the power of life and reproduction, Isis knew her pregnancy like the back of her hand. She gently laid on Osiris and held her husband¡¯s fingers tightly.¡±I really hope you can see our child.¡± Upon hearing his wife¡¯s words, Osiris¡¯s expression under the bandages was a little awkward. After all, his wife was still grieving over her husband¡¯s death. At this moment, Osiris wanted to comfort his wife. However, the one who died was Osiris himself. Regarding this matter, he was also unwilling and resentful in his heart. So after two seconds of silence, he changed the topic and said,¡±How do you plan on giving birth to this child and raising ¡®him¡¯?¡± Isis knew that her husband didn¡¯t want to talk about this topic, so she tacitly answered her husband¡¯s question,¡±Now, Seth is hunting me down everywhere. This situation is really not suitable for pregnancy, so I plan to use magic to quickly give birth to this child.¡± ¡°As for raising the child, I would like to ask Nephthys for help. After all, it¡¯s your blood. She definitely won¡¯t refuse.¡± Upon hearing this, Osiris nodded and said,¡±It¡¯s indeed a good idea to leave it to Nephthys.¡± Nephthys was the younger sister of Osiris, Set, and Isis. At the same time, she was also Set¡¯s wife and was deeply trusted by Set. In addition, Nephthys had also given birth to Anubis for Osiris. With this relationship, if Isis could provide protection for the child, Set¡¯s pursuit would no longer be a problem. In fact, according to the original Egypt mythology, Nephthys had indeed provided protection for Horus after he was born, allowing him to grow up safely. However, just as the couple was talking about this, a voice suddenly interrupted them. ¡°If you are worried about Set, then there is no need to worry.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± When they heard the strange voice, Osiris and Isis looked in the direction of the voice. Their eyes were full of vigilance, afraid that the scouts sent by Set had discovered them. If that were the case, Isis would be in a very dangerous situation! However, when they saw a figure about two meters tall with an eagle¡¯s head and a human body walking out of the oasis¡¯ trees, they could not help but relax. For some reason, the couple felt a sense of familiarity from this child. By the standards of the gods, a height of two meters was the level of a child. So, Isis asked,¡±Child, have we met before?¡± ¡°This is actually the first time we¡¯ve met,¡± Tan Weili shook his head and denied Isis¡¯ guess. ¡°Then why do I feel like you¡¯re familiar?¡± Isis was confused. Tan Weili did not want to hide anything from the two elders. He said frankly to them,¡±I am the child you just gave birth to, Horus!¡± The two elders were stunned when they heard this. Isis was the first to react, and she used her authority to sense the life in her body. Then, she was surprised to find that the child in her body had a strong connection with the boy in front of her. The two of them breathed at the same time and shared the same fate. They were practically the same individual! Although she still found it unbelievable, her power of authority that involved life, fertility, and magic could not be wrong. So, when she looked at Tan Weili again, she completely believed that Tan Weili was her child! She told Osiris her judgment. Although Osiris also felt that it was unbelievable, he trusted his wife and he could faintly feel that they were related by blood. Therefore, Osiris chose to believe in his wife¡¯s judgment. ¡°But why are you here? I mean¡­ Your mother has yet to give birth to you¡­¡± He had just finished having a child with his wife, and the other party ran to him. Even a god like Osiris was suspicious of what was happening. As the emissary of the Sun God Ra and the pharaoh who had once ruled Egypt, Osiris knew that there must be a conspiracy behind all these unusual events. Therefore, he wanted to find out what had happened to his child. Before he came, Tan Weili had already guessed that the two elders would ask this. Thus, he had thought of countless explanations for this problem. But in the end, considering his knowledge of gods, he was far inferior to the two elders. This was especially so for Horus¡¯ mother, Isis, who was a goddess of magic. If he came up with a random reason, Isis would see through him in no time. Therefore, Tan Weili decided to tell them a part of the truth. ¡°There¡¯s a certain extraterrestrial being who wanted to complete some of his own arrangements in Egypt,¡± he said. ¡°So, he changed my fate and allowed me to come to this world before I was born.¡± ¡°I also borrowed his strength to drive Set away. It¡¯s a pity that my divine power is still too weak and I can¡¯t kill him!¡± What! Tan Weili¡¯s words contained a lot of information, and the two elders were instantly stunned. First, it was about Set being driven away by Horus. As Osiris¡¯ younger brother, Set had the authority to control war and power. He also had another identity, which was the guard of the Sun God Ra. Every time Sun God Ra wanted to go to the Netherworld, Seth would guard him and block the attacks of the powerful demons that lived in the Netherworld. It could be said that Set¡¯s combat power was so strong that he could definitely be ranked in the top five of the Egypt gods! However, Horus was able to fight such a powerful god to a standstill when he was just a child? If that was the case, then when Horus grew up, just how terrifying would this child be? Apart from that, the two elders also noticed a more important piece of information. A powerful being, an existence from the outer realm that did not belong to the Egypt pantheon, could actually change the fate of their child and make him appear in this world before he was born. This kind of method to reverse a god¡¯s time and fate, let alone them, even Sun God Ra probably couldn¡¯t do it! Moreover, this mysterious and powerful existence had changed the fate of their child. What was the other party planning to do? Were they planning something? Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Tan Weili knew that the two elders believed him when he saw how shocked they were. This was not strange. After all, according to Tan Weili¡¯s explanation, he did not hide anything from the two elders, other than the fact that he was the existence from the outer realm. Naturally, the two elders couldn¡¯t find any faults in his words. However, just because they couldn¡¯t find any fault with it didn¡¯t mean that the two elders didn¡¯t have any doubts. As the Goddess of Magic, Isis asked, ¡°How much do you know about that existence?¡± ¡°Mm¡­ I can¡¯t reveal too much about this, but I know that he is a human shaman who appeared in this world 8000 years ago. ¡± ¡°He has the power to resist death, and as long as he wants to, no god can hurt him.¡± Tan Weili was telling the truth. After all, wasn¡¯t being able to retain one¡¯s memories and be reincarnated a method to resist death? It was easy to make it so that no god could hurt him. As long as he stipulated before reincarnation that he would not have any divinity after reincarnation, the gods would naturally be helpless against him. However, these words had a different meaning when they entered the ears of the two elders. They thought that the shaman who had changed the fate of their child was at least 8000 years old. The reason why he could resist death and ignore the harm of any god was that he was too powerful. Even death and the gods could do nothing to him. The two elders, who thought they had understood their child¡¯s meaning, were even more shocked. He had been in this world since 8000 years ago? This existence was too ancient! It must be known that Egypt mythology started in 3000 BC. At first glance, it sounded very ancient, but the current calendar was currently in 2712 BC! Therefore, even the oldest among the gods, Sun God Ra, was only 200 years old! They were only one or two hundred years old. In front of an old monster that was 8000 years old, they were not even considered young people. They were just a group of children who were still wet behind the ears! The thought of an ancient human shaman from the outer realm who could even ignore gods and death was actually plotting something unknown in the dark. The couple instantly felt their blood run cold. Osiris probed,¡±Child, that human shaman¡­ Do you know if he is planning something?¡± ¡°I know!¡± In order to prevent Egypt gods from suspecting that he was going to do something outrageous in Egypt, Tan Weili did not intend to hide what he was going to do. He said to the two elders, ¡°That existence hopes to use Egypt¡¯s power to build a pyramid for him that can bring people back to life.¡± ¡°Then, he will leave Egypt and go to a garden in the sky in Mesopotamia, and then go to India to build a grand bathing place.¡± The two elders were even more confused after hearing this. They knew about Mesopotamia. After all, Mesopotamia¡¯s civilization spark was lit up in 3500 BC, which was 500 years earlier than Egypt. However, due to the influence of transportation and geography, the Egyptians only knew that this was a mysterious country in the east that was older and more prosperous than them. As for the India civilization, it appeared in history 2500 BC, which was still some time away. Therefore, the couple had no idea what India was. However, comparing it to the Mesopotamian civilization, they could also guess that India should be a powerful country like Egypt and Mesopotamia. However, they didn¡¯t understand why this ancient shaman had built a pyramid, a garden, and a bathing place. Tan Weili, who was standing aside, could clearly see the two elders¡¯ doubts. However, he only said,¡±That existence is a powerful existence with a lifespan of more than 8000 years. His way of thinking is different from ordinary people and gods.¡± ¡°If you use a god¡¯s way of thinking to speculate his actions, you will only get the opposite result.¡± ¡°Compared to this, I think we should think about what we can get from this.¡± After a pause, Tan Weili continued,¡±That existence told me that the construction of the pyramid requires the strength of all of Egypt.¡± ¡°So, he will help me unify Egypt and defeat Set so that Egypt can achieve peace, stability, and development.¡± ¡°So, our interests are united!¡± Looking at Tan Weili, Isis wanted to remind her son not to listen to strangers. However, seeing how much her son admired the ancient existence, she knew that her son would not listen to her if she said it directly. So, after she and her husband looked at each other, they decided to temporarily avoid conflict with that existence. So he changed the topic and said,¡±If that¡¯s the case, what should we do next?¡± Tan Weili already had an answer to that question. This was the reason why he had followed Anubis. He said to Isis, ¡°Although I¡¯ve appeared in this world under the influence of that existence, I¡¯m not born yet. I¡¯m incomplete.¡± ¡°Therefore, I hope that you can give birth to me as soon as possible so that I can replenish my strength.¡± He had appeared, but he had not been born. When Tan Weili said that, not only Osiris and his wife, but even Tan Weili had a strange expression on his face. Fortunately, Isis, as the Goddess of Magic, had seen a lot of strange things. Upon hearing her son¡¯s request, Isis stood up and walked to the magic circle that had resurrected Osiris. The spell used to resurrect Osiris was similar to the spell used to speed up Horus¡¯ birth. Thus, Isis only had to modify a few symbols on the magic array before she began to chant the spell. Just like when Osiris was resurrected, Isis quickly chanted the spell, and the Nile River beside them surged with waves. The mother river of the Egypt civilization gushed out a large amount of life force and poured it into Isis. Soon, Tan Weili, who was standing aside, felt that part of Isis¡¯ body was maturing quickly. In less than a minute, he had turned from a fertilized egg into a mature baby. After using the life force to make the child mature, Isis used magic to open a portal to her own womb. Even though this was the first time Isis had done this, however, as the Goddess of Magic and Fertility, Isis was familiar with the way to the portal and carried Horus out of her body. In an instant, fate had tightly linked the two Horus¡¯ together. Tan Weili, who was standing not far away, felt his body being pulled toward Isis by a powerful force. The next second, he blinked and found himself in Isis¡¯ arms. Feeling the divine power in his body that was more than ten times stronger than before, Tan Weili realized that Horus now was complete! Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After completing his birth ceremony, Horus was more than ten times stronger than when he had first appeared in Egypt. Even though he would still be beaten up by Set in his current state, however, to Tan Weili, it was still a good start. As for Set¡¯s threat, he was not too worried. After all, as time passed, Horus¡¯ power would only grow stronger. One day, he would defeat Set, just as he was destined to do in Egypt mythology! However, with the completion of the ritual, Osiris¡¯ resurrection time was almost over. A woman is weak, but a mother is strong. Due to Horus¡¯s presence, Isis did not cry when she saw that her husband was about to leave. Instead, she appeared very strong. She said to Osiris,¡±Don¡¯t worry! As long as I¡¯m here, I won¡¯t let Horus come to any harm.¡± Osiris consoled his wife,¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve been to the Netherworld with Ra before. Although there are a lot of demons there and it¡¯s very dangerous, I¡¯m confident that I can stand firm there and open up a living space of my own.¡± Then, he said to Tan Weili,¡±Child, I¡¯m sorry that I can only be with you for less than a day in your life.¡± ¡°But fortunately, you¡¯re a mature, brave, and strong boy now!¡± ¡°Promise me that after I leave, you must take good care of your mother and not let her get hurt, okay?¡± Tan Weili naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse such a request. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Whether it is Set or the other gods, I will not let them hurt Mother.¡± However, Osiris was not satisfied with this answer. He patted his son¡¯s shoulder and added,¡±Including you!¡± Tan Weili was stunned for two seconds. But very quickly, his eyes became determined. He promised Osiris,¡±That includes me!¡± Osiris was finally satisfied. Feeling the power from the Netherworld begin to drag him out of this world, Osiris said in his final moments,¡±Child, I believe that you will be able to defeat Set and inherit my position. You will become the new pharaoh of Egypt. However, it is not easy to be a good pharaoh.¡± ¡°Therefore, you must remember three things. First, treat your people well. Second, respect all the gods. Third, be wary of your subjects!¡± ¡°Only by doing these three things can you be a good pharaoh. Do you understand?¡± Osiris¡¯ suggestion was very beneficial to Tan Weili, so he nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll remember that!¡± After Osiris left, Isis called Anubis and prepared to return to the palace. Anubis¡¯s jackal eyes flashed with curiosity and friendliness as he looked at Horus, his half-brother who had just been born. However, when he heard that Horus had used some special method to drive Set away from the palace before he was born, the jackal god was shocked. Whether it was the strangeness of him appearing in this world before he was born or the fact that he had forced Set to retreat, it was enough to prove the terrifying strength of his little brother. Fortunately, Isis and Tan Weili had a tacit understanding not to tell Anubis the reason why Horus could appear in this world before he was born. Otherwise, Anubis would not only be shocked, but also terrified. Soon, everyone returned to the palace. Even though they already knew that Tan Weili had forced Set to retreat, Isis and Anubis still found it unbelievable when they saw the soldiers who had once slaughtered wantonly in the palace disappear. As the God of Power and War, how could Set be defeated by a newborn¡­ No! An unborn child and forced to retreat? But soon, Isis noticed another problem. She found that when they walked in the palace, the maids and guards who came and went would salute them. Only those with divinity could sense the existence of god, and it was impossible for these maids and guards to all have divinity. However, they did pay their respects. Then, there could only be one explanation. ¡°Horus, you¡¯re a demigod now, right?¡± In the eyes of the gods in the Divine Realm, demigods would appear in front of them as their divine form. And the human soul would appear in front of them in the form of a small person. Therefore, the divinity of demigods often covered the part of them that belonged to humans, so the gods could not directly see the existence of the demigods as humans. Only when humans interacted with demigods would the gods know that the existence with divinity beside them was actually a demigod! In response to Isis¡¯ question, Tan Weili nodded and said,¡±That¡¯s right. My human identity is Sekeheim.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Upon hearing the name Sekeheim, Isis¡¯ face showed an expression of sudden realization. As the son of Possibson, if it were not for Set¡¯s plot, he would have merged with Osiris after Possibson¡¯s death and become the new pharaoh of Egypt. Looking at Tan Weili, Isis said,¡±So the reason why Sekeheim is usually so dazed is all because of you.¡± ¡°However, he is indeed a good identity, especially when you want to inherit Osiris¡¯ pharaoh position. This identity can save you a lot of trouble.¡± After learning that Tan Weili was a demigod, Isis was going to teach him some magic that was more practical for demigods. She asked Tan Weili,¡±Is there any magic that you want to learn now?¡± When he heard that the Goddess of Magic from Egypt wanted to teach him magic, Tan Weili naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. He began to analyze his current situation. Tan Weili felt that because he had driven Set away earlier than Horus in the original Egypt mythology, the position of pharaoh had already fallen to him. Having power was a good thing, but it also meant responsibility. Tan Weili had to maintain the stability in Egypt, deal with all kinds of government affairs, organize festivals, develop, and produce. This also meant that he did not have the time to be like Horus in Egypt mythology, where he had to train and grow. Thinking of this, he told Isis about his troubles, hoping that Isis could teach him a way to solve the current problem. Upon hearing her son¡¯s distress, Isis immediately laughed and said, ¡°I do have a spell that can solve this problem. Come with me!¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili immediately followed Isis and came to a remote room in the palace. Standing at the door of the room, Tan Weili vaguely remembered that it was just a meaningless empty room in the real world. There had been many maidservants who had speculated about the use of this room and suggested to Sphynx cat that he should use it, but they were all rejected by him. Once he thought about how the pharaohs that these maids were facing were Osiris, Tan Weili realized that this room was not as simple as it seemed. As expected! When Tan Weili followed Isis into the room, the originally empty room had turned into a magic workshop filled with all kinds of books, materials, and equipment in the Divine Realm! Without a doubt, this was the room that Osiris had specially prepared for Isis! Isis took a papyrus scroll from the bookshelf in the room and handed it to Tan Weili. The Goddess of Magic said,¡±This spell is called Dream Travel. It¡¯s a spell specially designed for demigods.¡± ¡°It can allow you to separate your humanity from your divinity. After you fall asleep on the human side, you can move freely like a god.¡± ¡°During this period, your body will remain asleep until your divinity returns to your body and you wake up.¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The principle of Dream Travel was actually very simple. In Tan Weili¡¯s world, the Divine Realm where the gods resided was closely related to human consciousness. Therefore, gods could essentially be seen as a creature of the dimension of consciousness. As a result, a demigod like Tan Weili could not separate his divinity from his human nature because his consciousness was bound to his physical body. But there were always accidents. As long as a person¡¯s consciousness could be separated from their physical body, the divinity of a demigod could also cast aside their mortal body and move freely. Dream Travel was based on this point. Through the power of dreams, the consciousness of the demigod was separated from the body, thus achieving the goal of allowing the divinity to leave the body and move freely. In the magic workshop located in the palace of the Divine Realm, Isis had Tan Weili lie on the magic array on the ground. Then, she began to adjust the light, smell, and temperature of the room with magic, and asked Tan Weili about his feelings. Looking at Isis¡¯ operation, Tan Weili had a feeling that he was being hypnotized. This made him realize that the so-called Dream Travel was actually a spell to let the consciousness leave the body through hypnosis. So, he let go of his body and mind and cooperated with Isis. Soon, his body in the human world fell into a deep sleep, and his consciousness once again came to the Divine Realm through the dream. ¡°Try standing up!¡± Upon seeing Tan Weili open his eyes, Isis held her son¡¯s hand and helped him up. Then, Tan Weili turned around and saw a faceless man who was about the same height as him but had no facial features on his face lying where he was sleeping. That was Tan Weili¡¯s human soul! Looking at the soul, Isis was amazed. She couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Ordinary people, even the souls of demigods, are just short dwarves. Only the people with the strongest will can be half as tall as them in the human world.¡± ¡°But your soul as Sekeheim¡¯s side is actually as tall as you. This is unbelievable!¡± ¡°Also, his face has no features. It¡¯s very strange. I¡¯ve never seen something like this before¡­ Could this be a backup plan of the existence behind you?¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t know how to answer Isis¡¯ question. After all, after becoming a demigod, his human soul had been fused with Horus. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen his own soul. Fortunately, Isis did not delve too deeply into the mysterious existence behind her son. She said to Tan Weili,¡±I¡¯ve already demonstrated the release method of Dream Travel once. Have you learned it?¡± Tan Weili, who had knowledge from the 21st century, understood the key to this spell after only one look. So he nodded to Isis and said,¡±I learned it! Then¡­ I want to go out for a walk. Do you have any suggestions?¡± ¡°As expected of my son. Your magical talent is indeed not bad!¡± Upon hearing that her son had learned the spell in one try, Isis nodded in satisfaction. Then, she gave her son a suggestion for his first adventure: ¡°Set is the God of Power and War. If you want to defeat him, it is not a bad choice to seek the guidance of other gods of war.¡± ¡°Right now, the God of War of Upper Egypt, Sekhmet, is in a state of madness. It¡¯s not easy to get close.¡± ¡°Perhaps you can first find Bastet, the Goddess of War in Egypt, and work with her to awaken the crazy Sekhmet.¡± Listening to Isis¡¯ suggestion, Tan Weili¡¯s expression was a little strange. He had a feeling that Isis had another purpose for suggesting this to him. He clearly remembered that the Goddesses of War, Sekhmet, and Bastet, were sisters. Among them, Sekhmet also had another identity, the wife of Horus in Egypt mythology, Hathor! In other words, Isis wanted him to find his future sister-in-law and work with her to awaken his future wife? Looking at the strange smile on Isis¡¯ face, Tan Weili was even more certain that Isis knew what his visit meant. But he did not refuse. The feeling of knowing that a stranger would become his wife in the future made Tan Weili feel like he was impotent. However, when he thought of his future wife being a cat, this psychological impotence instantly disappeared. In his heart, he was looking forward to it! So, he bade Isis farewell and left the palace, heading all the way to Lower Egypt. As she watched her son leave, Isis smiled and shook her head. Looking at her son¡¯s soul lying on the ground, Isis thought for a while and left the palace. As she walked to the temple, Isis found a priest who had divinity and was serving her. So, she bent down and gave an oracle to the priest. The priest was stunned for a moment, then he sincerely expressed his worship to Isis and expressed his determination to complete the task. He then left the temple in a hurry. The priest entered the palace with a blanket and a pillow, and found Tan Weili¡¯s body in a remote room in the corner of the palace. When the priest saw Tan Weili, he quickly put a pillow under his head and covered him with a blanket. After making sure that he didn¡¯t disturb Tan Weili, he left the room quietly. Isis, who had confirmed that the priest had completed the task, also showed a satisfied smile. ¡­ After leaving the palace, Tan Weili relied on his divine instinct to activate his divine power, and two brown-gray wings grew out of his back. With a flap of his wings, Tan Weili quickly flew up. In less than half an hour, he had flown from Memphis in Upper Egypt to Bastet¡¯s temple in Lower Egypt. After entering Bastet¡¯s divine temple, Tan Weili shouted at the temple, ¡°Goddess Bastet, I have something to discuss with you. If it¡¯s convenient, please come out and talk!¡± No one responded in the empty temple. However, Tan Weili noticed that a little black cat napping on the temple beam looked at him after hearing his words. However, after the black cat glanced at Tan Weili, it just stood up, stretched, and lay back down. A cat that could appear in the Divine Realm was obviously extraordinary. Tan Weili immediately remembered that Bastet, the Goddess of War in Lower Egypt, was a famous cat god in Egypt in addition to having the power of war, protection, music, dance, family, and the moon. She often appeared in the form of a cat with a human body or a cat. Therefore, the cat lying on the beam was undoubtedly Bastet. Looking at Bastet¡¯s arrogance, which was the same as an ordinary cat, Tan Weili smiled and didn¡¯t care. If it were any other animal, Tan Weili would not have known how to deal with it other than hunting it. However, he had a thousand ways to deal with cats! He pulled out a few feathers from his wings and a fine linen thread from his clothes. Then, he tied the feathers together with a fine linen thread and swung them in the air. Then, Tan Weili said to Bastet,¡±Bastet, what do you think this is?¡± Baster rolled her eyes at Tan Weili and was about to change her place to sleep to avoid this guy who had suddenly appeared. However, when she saw the feathers dancing in Tan Weili¡¯s hands, her body froze. Looking at that handful of feathers, Bastet instantly threw all her previous arrogance to the back of her mind. Her body also jumped off the temple¡¯s beam uncontrollably and flew toward the feather in Tan Weili¡¯s hand¡­ Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As expected! In this world, no cat could resist the temptation of a cat stick! Even the cat goddess Bastet was no exception! Tan Weili kept the feather as he watched Bastet sprint all the way to his side. Seeing this, Bastet immediately became vigilant. She let out a ¡°Ha,¡± and her pupils quickly enlarged. She said to Tan Weili, ¡°D*mmit! Strange god, what have you done to me? Why can¡¯t I control my body?¡± ¡°I just made use of your instinct!¡±Tan Weili said with a smile. Then, he bent down and caught Bastet off guard. He grabbed the back of Bastet¡¯s neck and lifted her up. ¡°Meow!¡± Bastet¡¯s hind legs instinctively shrank when Tan Weili grabbed the back of her neck, and she couldn¡¯t move her body. ¡°Argh! Let me go!¡± Seeing this strange god teasing her like this, Bastet screamed fiercely. Tan Weili couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw that Bastet¡¯s behavior was exactly the same as the pet cat he had in the 21st century. He reached out and poked Bastet soft meaty pad, then said,¡±I don¡¯t mean you any harm, Goddess Bastet. I just want to have a good talk with you.¡± ¡°Quickly release me! Otherwise, I¡¯ll bite you to death!¡± Bastet turned a deaf ear to Tan Weili¡¯s words. As she roared, she began to extend her claws, trying to scratch Tan Weili¡¯s hand. Tan Weili sighed when he saw that the negotiation was fruitless. It seemed that he had to give Bastet some benefits so that she would listen to him. Thus, he pinched the back of cat goddess¡¯ neck and put her down on the altar. Then, he used his hand to gently stroke Bastet¡¯s back, near the end of her tail. In an instant, an indescribable sense of comfort filled Bastet¡¯s body, making her lie on the altar and purr involuntarily. While purring, Bastet also shouted,¡±Oh! Come on! Oh! F*ck!¡± Those who didn¡¯t know what was going on would think that it was moaning¡­ Bastet¡¯s mood quickly became happy under Tan Wei¡¯s experienced petting, and she no longer struggled. When Tan Weili let go of her hand and asked if she could talk, the cat goddess immediately lay on her side and asked Tan Weili lazily,¡±Speak! What do you want to talk about?¡± ¡°I want to help your sister, Sekhmet, regain her consciousness.¡± Tan Weili reached out and pinched Bastet¡¯s meaty pad, then explained his purpose for coming. ¡°Oh?¡± Because of the massage just now, Bastet was in a very good mood. Therefore, she didn¡¯t resist the strange god¡¯s action of poking her own paw pad. However, after hearing the other party¡¯s intention, Bastet stretched her body and asked,¡±Sekhmet went out of control after receiving the power of Ra. There is no god in all of Egypt who can defeat her. What makes you think you can wake her up?¡± Tan Weili laughed when he heard Bastet¡¯s question. He knew that in Egypt mythology, Bastet and Hathor were the daughters of the Sun God Ra. But one day, after receiving the power from Ra, Hathor went out of control and turned into Sekhmet, the Goddess of War who only knew how to kill. Sekhmet, who had lost control, was invincible. Even the Sun God Ra couldn¡¯t do anything to her. However, according to the records of Egypt mythology, Sekhmet was eventually subdued by Horus. Horus¡¯ method of subduing Sekhmet was also very simple. He had found a fruit called sleep fruit on Philae Island, and mixed the blood-red fruit into beer, tricking Sekhmet into drinking it. Sekhmet¡¯s fate was obvious after drinking the beer that had a sleeping effect. Not only was she controlled by Horus after she fell into a deep sleep, but her power was also taken back by Sun God Ra, and she returned to Hathor¡¯s form. In the face of Bastet¡¯s doubts, Tan Weili repeated the method that Horus had used to subdue Sekhmet in the original Egypt mythology. When she heard Tan Weili¡¯s plan, a trace of surprise flashed through Bastet¡¯s eyes. She didn¡¯t expect that this strange god really had a way to wake up her sister. ¡°Interesting, young god. I¡¯m starting to be interested in you!¡± ¡°By the way, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen you before. Who are you?¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t hide his identity when Bastet asked him. He scratched Bastet¡¯s chin, once again provoking Bastet¡¯s instincts as a cat. He then introduced himself to the cat goddess,¡±I am the son of Osiris and Isis, the new Pharaoh of Egypt, Horus.¡± ¡°Horus?¡± Hearing this, Bastet suddenly realized. She stood up, licking her fur with her tongue, and said,¡±I heard that a few days ago, a god managed to force Set to retreat in a one-on-one battle.¡± ¡°Moreover, he even dragged Set¡¯s subordinates and believers to the border and executed them¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s me.¡± Tan Weili admitted generously. ¡°Not bad!¡± Knowing that all these things were done by this god in front of her, Bastet was instantly excited. She raised her tail and said indignantly,¡±Set is a despicable man. He did not care about brotherhood and killed his own brother. He even wanted to take over the position of the Pharaoh of Egypt. He is simply courting death!¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t he think about it? Osiris¡¯ pharaoh position was conferred by God Ra. Is it something he can usurp?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I will help you defeat Set even if it is for the sake of God Ra¡¯s face!¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. He could tell from Bastet¡¯s words that the cat goddess would help him because Set abandoned his brotherhood. But the main reason was because Osiris was the pharaoh that was authorized by Sun God Ra. Set killing Osiris was also challenging the authority of Sun God Ra. However, Tan Weili was a reasonable person. Bastet and Osiris were not related, so it was unreasonable for her to feel angry and sad about Osiris¡¯ death. It was already a great support for him to be on the same side as Tan Weili. Moreover, Egypt mythology, the death of a god did not mean the complete disappearance of their existence. After they died, they would enter the Netherworld and become the gods of the Netherworld. Just like Osiris in Egypt mythology, he was conferred the title of Lord of the Netherworld by Sun God Ra after his death. Tan Weili naturally welcomed Bastet¡¯s addition. However, Bastet was a little shy as she said,¡±Hehe! I have no problem helping you, but you have to promise me one thing. ¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± Tan Weili looked at Bastet. The cat goddess swayed her tail and said, ¡°Your massage technique is not bad. I feel very comfortable. If you want me to help you, you have to massage me every day. This condition is not too much, right?¡± ¡°I thought it was some hard condition!¡± Tan Weili laughed out loud when he heard that. He picked Bastet up and said,¡±No problem! I agree to this condition!¡± As he spoke, he carried Bastet in front of him. Looking at the other person carrying her, Bastet was confused, not knowing what this guy wanted to do. However, the cat goddess was dumbfounded. Tan Weili buried his face in the cat goddess¡¯ stomach and took a deep breath. In an instant, Tan Weili, who hadn¡¯t touched a cat for hundreds of years, felt refreshed! Bastet¡¯s mind suddenly went blank after being violated like this. Ever since she was young, this was the first time someone had kissed her stomach. She couldn¡¯t help but scream. ¡°Argh! You b*stard! You can¡¯t go there!¡± As she spoke, the cat goddess bit Tan Weili¡¯s hand¡­ Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As Tan Weili still had the position of a pharaoh in the human world, he had to manage the entire country. So if he went on an adventure with Bastet now, there definitely wouldn¡¯t be enough time. So, he made a promise with Bastet that they would set off together tomorrow after Tan Weili finished dealing with government affairs. Bastet, who usually slept during the day and came out at night like a normal cat, naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. Thus, Tan Weili flew back to the palace. When Tan Weili returned to Isis¡¯ magic workshop, he realized that the other party had already left. However, when he saw the pillow under his head and the blanket covering his body, he was stunned. An indescribable feeling rose in his heart. Was this family love? Tan Weili was a little confused. It wasn¡¯t like Tan Weili didn¡¯t have any relatives during the Stone Age. However, due to the Stone Age, especially during the Younger Dryas Event that Tan Weili was in, the Earth¡¯s environment was harsh, and human productivity lagged behind. The problem of food shortage had always lingered on everyone¡¯s head. In order to survive, people had no choice but to do their best. Even so, many tribes would still have to resort to underhanded means to reduce their population due to the lack of food. This included, but was not limited to, killing infants, banishing the elderly, and giving limited resources to adult labor who could obtain more food. Under this pressure to survive, everyone, whether they wanted to or not, could only live like an animal, numbed like a machine. Under such circumstances, where could Tan Weili have experienced familial love? As he watched Isis cover him with a blanket, just like his mother in the 21st century, that distant, strange, and somewhat familiar kinship returned to Tan Weili¡¯s heart. However, Tan Weili was not touched or surprised by the sudden affection. He only felt a faint sense of fear. Fortunately, these thoughts only lasted for a moment before they were suppressed by Tan Weili. He was not a sentimental person, and now was not the time to be sentimental. If there was anything worth sighing about, it was better to wait until he returned to the 21st century and reminisce about this journey that had lasted tens of thousands of years! Thinking of this, Tan Weili left Isis¡¯ magic workshop, returned to his room, and quickly fell asleep. The next morning, Tan Weili woke up from his sleep and asked the nobles and priests in the country to discuss the reconstruction of Egypt after the chaos of Set. The priests were the first to step forward. Since they more or less had this divinity, they could tell that Tan Weili¡¯s human identity was not the original Osiris, but his son, Horus. Therefore, they judged that Tan Weili¡¯s position as the pharaoh was not secure. He would definitely need the support of the priest group in order to sit firmly in this position. So, the priests began to demand benefits from Tan Weili. However, they had clearly underestimated Tan Weili¡¯s methods. In the process of dealing with Set, Tan Weili captured all the troops Set had brought from Ethiopia and executed them on the border between the two countries. In the process, he had built up a strong prestige in the Egypt army. So, when the priests showed their greed in the palace, the military nobles of Egypt immediately showed their covetous eyes. They looked at Tan Weili with eyes that seemed to say, ¡°Pharaoh, give the order! As long as you give the order, we¡¯ll kill all these blind people!¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t stop the military nobles who were eager to try. He was not worried that the execution of these priests would offend the gods behind them. After all, gods only needed faith, not power. The only ones who really needed power were the priests who served them. Perhaps these gods had acquiesced to the priest¡¯s actions today. However, if these priests were executed by Tan Weili, they would only say one thing: ¡°He deserved to die!¡± However, when the military nobles were about to take things one step further and start a massacre and plunder of the temple, Tan Weili stopped them. These military nobles had no divinity, and if they disrespected the gods, the gods could do nothing to them. However, Tan Weili still needed to survive in the Divine Realm. He could not let himself become the target of public criticism. Moreover, the temple that the military nobles were planning to raid was a place that believed in Isis¡­ Therefore, after the military nobles executed the priests who offended Tan Weili, Tan Weili did not let them go any further. He only appointed some priests who were close to him so that the power of the military nobles and the priest group could return to balance. After he was done, Tan Weili went to Isis¡¯ magic workshop again. ¡°You¡¯ve done very well. Even your father would find it difficult to quickly balance the current situation in a short period of time, but you¡¯ve done it.¡± ¡°I believe that you will be able to surpass your father and become an even better pharaoh.¡± In response to Isis¡¯ praise, Tan Weili said,¡±It¡¯s nothing. After all, in my opinion, Egypt¡¯s political structure is quite simple.¡± He was speaking the truth. Egypt only a few hundred years old, and its political rules were very simple. There was no need for complicated means to play a political game in this place. As long as they were tough and dared to kill the vested interest groups, it was not difficult to govern the country. After a brief chat about domestic politics, Tan Weili once again flew down to Lower Egypt through Dream Travel and found Bastet in her temple. When Tan Weili flew into the Bastet¡¯s divine temple, the cat goddess had just woken up. When she saw Tan Weili, she immediately jumped down from the beam. Tan Weili¡¯s eyes and hands were quick, and he caught her. He placed Bastet on the altar of the temple and massaged Bastet with his cat-petting hands. He said, ¡°If we want to go to Philae Island to get the sleeping fruit, we have to go through the Evernight Kingdom.¡± ¡°But the entrance to the Evernight Kingdom is very well-hidden, and only the Twelve River Goddesses in charge of the rivers at the border between Egypt and the Evernight Kingdom know how to enter.¡± ¡°So, our first step is to find these Twelve River Goddesses.¡± Bastet felt extremely comfortable under Tan Weili¡¯s skillful cat-petting technique. She soon made a purring sound. After hearing Tan Weili¡¯s plan, she said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Tan Weili gently rubbed Bastet¡¯s ear with one hand and scratched her chin with the other. He asked, ¡°Do you know how to enter the Evernight Kingdom?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Bastet shook her head, and her tail also shook twice with her head. But then, she changed the topic and said, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how to enter the Evernight Kingdom, I don¡¯t have to look for them personally to see those guys.¡± ¡°Come home with me. I¡¯ll talk to God Ra and ask him to order the Twelve River Goddesses to come and see me.¡± Let the Twelve River Goddesses take the initiative to see her? Tan Weili was a little shocked when he heard Bastet¡¯s suggestion. This operation did not seem to exist in Ancient Egypt mythology, right? However, Tan Weili quickly reacted. His relationship with Bastet was even better than the relationship between Bastet and Horus in Egypt mythology. Therefore, in Egypt mythology, Bastet had also helped Horus when he was looking for the sleeping fruits. But Bastet definitely wouldn¡¯t put in as much effort as she was now. Tan Weili was overjoyed when he felt Bastet¡¯s kindness. He immediately turned Bastet¡¯s body over, rubbed her soft belly, and said,¡±Then, thank you!¡± ¡°B*stard! Don¡¯t touch my stomach!¡± The stomach was a cat¡¯s weakness. Touching it without permission would obviously make the cat alert. Therefore, when she noticed that Tan Weili was touching her stomach, Bastet was once again furious. She did a sit-up and bit Tan Weili¡¯s hand¡­ Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After playing around in Bastet¡¯s temple for a while, Tan Weili put her on his shoulder and took her to the Sun God Ra¡¯s residence in Heliopolis. Heliopolis was a divine land in Egypt. During the era when Tan Weili was born, it had another name, ¡®Cairo,¡¯ as well. However, compared to the capital of Egypt in the future, Heliopolis was only a divine city in Egypt. Its status was equivalent to Mount Olympus in Greece mythology. When Tan Weili and Bastet arrived at Heliopolis and landed at the door of Sun God Ra¡¯s residence, Bastet immediately struggled and jumped out of Tan Weili¡¯s arms. She walked two steps away with her tail upright, and her body quickly changed from a proud cat to a tall and elegant cat goddess. She said to Tan Weili, ¡°Don¡¯t be so intimate in Ra¡¯s place, in case people misunderstand.¡± Bastet attitude toward Tan Weili was very complicated. On the one hand, she liked this god who had amazing massage skills. She wanted to keep him by her side and let him massage her every day. Therefore, she didn¡¯t mind having some intimate actions with the other party. Even when Tan Weili touched her stomach, she fought back and bit Tan Weili. She was very restrained and did not bite until he bled. But on the other hand, as the daughter of Ra, Bastet also had some pride in her heart. She didn¡¯t want others to think that she, as the daughter of Ra, would get together with a god just because of his excellent massage skills. This was too degrading, and it didn¡¯t match the pride that a cat should have! On the other side, Tan Weili¡¯s expression was also a little strange when he saw Bastet transform from a cat to a human. Bastet had always appeared in front of him in the form of a cat, and the goddess didn¡¯t mind him supporting her. That was why Tan Weili instinctively treated Bastet as his pet cat from the 21st century, and his actions were very intimate. At that moment, Tan Weili finally had a bad feeling when he saw Bastet turn back into her human form. After all, Bastet¡¯s sister Hathor was his future wife! But now, he had not even seen his wife before he had an affair with his sister-in-law. Was this really a good idea? If Hathor knew that he and Bastet had an ambiguous relationship, how would he deal with the relationship between the three of them? Moreover, even if he really wanted to maintain a relationship with the two goddesses at the same time, he couldn¡¯t forget that this was the palace of Ra, right? This kind of thing could be done secretly. However, if he were to do it under the eyes of the old man, it would be a little suicidal¡­ Thus, after much consideration, Tan Weili decided to put some distance between himself and Bastet before entering God Ra¡¯s palace. After walking into God Ra¡¯s palace, Tan Weili and Bastet didn¡¯t see him. Instead, a god in the image of a male human and a goddess with a lion¡¯s head and a human¡¯s body appeared before them. Looking at the two gods and goddesses, Tan Weili felt a faint aura of order from the god, similar to his own. The difference was that other than the aura of order, there was also a burning, dry wind around him. In contrast, the goddess beside him had a messy temperament, a proud expression, and her body exuded a faint moist vapor. At a glance, Tan Weili connected the two with the two gods in Egypt mythology. Those who could appear in the Palace of Ra were undoubtedly his eldest son and daughter, Shu, the God of Air, and Tefnut, the Goddess of Moisture! As Tan Weili was observing Shu and Tefnut, the God of Air was also observing Tan Weili. As the God of Air in Egypt mythology, Shu had a steady personality and advocated order. Therefore, when he saw Horus, Tan Weili, who represented the royal power and law, he immediately had a good impression of this young god. He said to Tan Weili,¡±I have heard of you. Your uncle, Set, destroyed and usurped the position of pharaoh that was given to your father by God Ra. You were able to defeat him and drive him away, and maintain the order created by God Ra. I admire you very much.¡± ¡°Thank you for your praise, Shu.¡± Tan Weili smiled and responded to Shu with the same friendly attitude. However, compared to the harmony between Tan Weili and Shu, the meeting between the two sisters, Bastet and Tefnut, was not so friendly. As the God of Rain and Humidity in Egypt, and her brother and husband was the God of Wind and Air, both of them had extremely high levels of authority. Therefore, she had always looked down on Bastet and Hathor, who were also children of Ra but only in charge of war, poetry, and dance. Tefnut only glanced at Bastet and said to Tan Weili,¡±You are Horus? I also heard that you chased Set away.¡± ¡°But you have to understand that if you want to defeat Set and avenge your father, you must have enough strength and powerful friends.¡± ¡°So, you should consider carefully which god you want to befriend.¡± ¡°If you stay with those weak gods, they won¡¯t be able to provide you with the power to avenge your father.¡± Although Tefnut didn¡¯t mention Bastet, she was mocking Bastet. Hearing this, Bastet was instantly furious. The cat goddess¡¯ eyes widened, the hair on her head stood up, and her tail was straight. Since Tefnut was targeting Bastet, Tan Weili could stay out of it if he wanted to. But he didn¡¯t let Bastet and Tefnut argue. Instead, he stood in front of Tefnut and said,¡±I know what kind of friends I need to be with.¡± ¡°The one who really chased away Set, who broke the order, was me, Horus. Not you, the daughter of God Ra!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± When she heard Tan Weili¡¯s words, she was so angry that she almost hit him. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± At this moment, a cough broke the tense atmosphere of the gods present. The Sun God Ra had appeared! As the leader of the gods in Egypt mythology, the Sun God Ra had a similar image to Tan Weili¡¯s Horus. He was a god with the head of an eagle and the body of a man. However, compared to the young and energetic Horus, Ra appeared much older. The feathers on his head were like old birds. Many of them had fallen off, and they were very sparse. His body was slightly hunched, and his skin was rough and loose. At first glance, he could not hide his old age. But no matter how old he was, the Sun God Ra was still the leader of the Egypt gods. Therefore, the moment he appeared, the aggressive Tefnut instantly stopped. Instead, it was Bastet who secretly gave Tan Weili a thumbs up. Even though Tan Weili had touched her stomach twice, and Bastet wanted to bite this guy to death, but when the other party stood up for her in front of her sister, she was still very happy. At the same time, she also had a better impression of this guy who had excellent massage skills. Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Ra, who had suddenly appeared, did not seem to care about the conflict between his daughters. As soon as he appeared, he stood in front of Tan Weili. ¡°You are the son of Osiris, Horus?¡± ¡°Yes, I am Horus.¡± Tan Weili raised his head and puffed out his chest. He didn¡¯t show any respect for the other party¡¯s god. Looking at the young god who looked similar to him, Ra nodded. The young god¡¯s vitality reminded Ra of his father, his messenger, Osiris. Many years ago, Osiris was also a young man like this. He was full of vigor and confidence in everything he did. So, God Ra asked Tan Weili,¡±I already know about your father¡¯s matter. Are you here to ask me to punish Set?¡± However, Tan Weili shook his head when he heard God Ra¡¯s question. He did not want to let anyone else punish Set. Moreover, according to Egypt mythology, the god who defeated Set was Horus, not Ra. Although Tan Weili did not know the reason, it at least showed that God Ra had a reason not to attack Set. Therefore, Tan Weili did not ask God Ra to punish Set. Instead, he said,¡±I¡¯m not here to ask for any help from you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to help you solve a problem that has been bothering you for a long time.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Ra was surprised by Tan Weili¡¯s answer. The Sun God asked curiously,¡±I am the Sun God, the leader of all gods. Tell me, what problems in this world can trouble me?¡± Hearing this, Tan Weili smiled. ¡°God Ra, after your daughter Hathor accepted your Eye of Ra, she went out of control and became the lion god Sekhmet who was obsessed with killing.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want your beloved daughter to return to normal?¡± Upon hearing this, the Sun God exclaimed, ¡°Good fellow!¡± Of course, Ra knew that the reason why this young god wanted to wake up Hathor was to ask her to help him defeat Set. But with just a few simple words, Tan Weili changed the nature of the matter. Not only would he be able to obtain Hathor¡¯s help, but he would also be able to gain a favor from Sun God Ra. With such powerful eloquence skills, even God Ra couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed. However, Ra had been troubled by the issue of Hathor for a long time. As Hathor had taken away a large part of his divine sun power, Ra was now very weak. On his own, he could no longer take back his power from his daughter who had lost control and gone crazy. So, when Tan Weili came to the door and said that he wanted to wake up Hathor, Ra had no reason to refuse. So, he asked Tan Weili,¡±What do you plan to do?¡± ¡°I plan to go to Philae Island to find the sleeping fruit that can make Hathor fall asleep and lure her to drink the juice of the sleeping fruit.¡± ¡°But to get to Philae Island, you need to pass through the Evernight Kingdom.¡± ¡°The entrance to the Evernight Kingdom is very well-hidden, and only the Twelve River Goddesses at the border of the Evernight Kingdom know how to enter.¡± ¡°I hope that God Ra can use his prestige to let the Twelve River Goddesses meet me here and take me into the Evernight Kingdom.¡± Ra frowned at the mention of the Evernight Kingdom. As a land of chaos, the Evernight Kingdom was not under the jurisdiction of the Sun God Ra, but ruled by his twin brother, Apep. As Ra and Apep were brothers and also mortal enemies, he had no way to penetrate his power into the night Kingdom. The 12 river goddesses at the border didn¡¯t pledge allegiance to RA. Instead, they followed the policy of pleasing both sides and not offending either side. Ra said to Tan Weili,¡±It¡¯s fine if you want the Twelve River Goddesses to come to see you. ¡± ¡°But I won¡¯t order them to help you. You have to convince them yourself!¡± ¡°If ¡®they¡¯ reject your request, I won¡¯t speak up for you.¡± Of course, Tan Weili knew that God Ra didn¡¯t have the ability to help him even if he wanted to. He only said that to maintain the Sun God¡¯s reputation. So he didn¡¯t protest, but agreed to the other party¡¯s request. Soon, Ra invited the Twelve River Goddesses to his palace. Looking at the new Pharaoh of Egypt, the Twelve River Goddesses¡¯ eyes wandered, and they kept looking at Tan Weili. Tan Weili didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with that. On the contrary, Bastet, who was standing on the side, stood up like a cat protecting its food. She coughed twice and said to the Twelve River Goddesses,¡±My sister, Hathor, is now in a state of madness. Awakening her rationality is the most important thing for us now.¡± ¡°So, let¡¯s not waste time. If you have something to say, say it quickly!¡± Hearing Bastet¡¯s words, the Twelve River Goddesses looked at each other. They seemed to have heard the hidden desire for possession of the pharaoh in Bastet¡¯s words. Hence, they all revealed ambiguous smiles. One of the river goddesses immediately said to Tan Weili,¡±Young pharaoh, we will not help you head to the Evernight Kingdom unless you can pass the test we set.¡± ¡°Test?¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili smiled and said,¡±If there¡¯s any test, just come!¡± He vaguely remembered that in the mythological records, Horus had relied on his wisdom to pass the test of the Twelve River Goddesses. The current Tan Weili might be slightly weaker than Horus. However, in terms of intelligence, the original Horus was not even worthy of carrying his shoes! And so, the river goddess immediately raised a question for her test! The river goddess in the lead asked Tan Weili,¡±Young pharaoh, we know that you are going to the Evernight Kingdom to save Goddess Hathor. The main reason is to defeat Set.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ll use this as the topic to test you.¡± ¡°As long as you can answer our questions, you¡¯ll pass the test!¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Tan Weili nodded and had no objections to the scope of the question. The river goddess said,¡±You are the god who represents royalty, law, order, and justice. Set is the god who represents war and power.¡± ¡°Your battle is essentially a battle of justice and power.¡± ¡°I¡¯d like to hear your thoughts on which is more important, justice or power?¡± Which was more important, justice or power? Tan Weili laughed when he heard the question. The river goddess¡¯ question actually ran through the entire history of human civilization. There had been countless people who had relied on brutal power to trample on the side of justice. There were also countless people who defeated the evil forces that they claimed to be in the name of justice. Countless people had given their own answers to this question. However, Tan Weili was confident that his answer was more profound and closer to the truth than many people who had answered this question. He chuckled at the river goddesses and said,¡±How can you compare justice and power?¡± ¡°After all¡­¡± ¡°Justice itself is the greatest power!¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Justice was the greatest power? Upon hearing this, all the river goddesses present were shocked. Before Tan Weili answered their questions, they had actually imagined all kinds of possible answers from him. They believed that Tan Weili¡¯s answer could generally be in three directions. First, justice was above power. Secondly, justice was pale in the face of absolute power. Third, justice was, of course, equal to power! After all, absolute power itself represented justice. After all, the winner was the embodiment of justice! However, Tan Weili¡¯s answer was beyond the goddesses¡¯ expectations. It reached a realm that they had never thought of. A river goddess said in disbelief,¡±Young pharaoh, justice is only a position, a belief. How can you treat it as a form of power?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I?¡± Tan Weili asked,¡±In your opinion, what exactly is justice?¡± What was justice? This question stunned all the river goddesses. The concept of justice was a new concept in the current Egypt. Otherwise, as one of the main gods who represented royalty and law in Egypt, Horus would not have been one of the later gods to be born. And the reason why the concept of justice had just been born could be traced back to the living environment of human beings in primitive society. In a primitive society, the living conditions of humans were extremely harsh. People were constantly struggling for survival, and there was no room for choice. Everything was the best choice and the worst choice. Naturally, there was no distinction between good and evil. It was only when human productivity continued to develop and private ownership emerged that people would have a choice in the issue of survival. It was only when a choice appeared that it would bring about a difference, and in turn, bring about evil and justice! At this time, the Egyptian civilization had been born less than 500 years ago. Justice, on the other hand, was a concept that originated from people¡¯s simple thoughts. It was not the concept of justice that was first proposed by a great philosopher and then popularized in everyone¡¯s heart. Naturally, both gods and humans had a very general understanding of the concept of justice. As a person who had received an education in the 21st century, Tan Weili¡¯s view of justice was more professional than all the gods of this era. He saw that the river goddesses were unable to give an accurate definition of justice, so he said,¡±The so-called justice is actually a choice to allow more people to live a better life.¡± ¡°Therefore, justice itself can attract more people to worship, admire, and respect it.¡± ¡°If justice is suppressed by power, then we have to ask this question. Why is justice so pale and powerless? Why can¡¯t justice organize and call more people to join and form a power stronger than the power that suppresses it?¡± ¡°In this case, I can only think of one answer. The power that suppresses justice is actually justice itself!¡± ¡°And that pale justice is pale because it is a position that only a few people can benefit from, and so only a few people will choose to comply.¡± ¡°Any kind of pale justice is actually a kind of false and selfish justice that regards most people as ants and only cares about themselves!¡± ¡°People who consider problems from the perspective of justice have never considered problems from the perspective of the majority. They have never respected the interests of the majority.¡± ¡°How can you call this justice?¡± If Tan Weili had put his thoughts on the internet in the 21st century, people with different opinions might have argued with him for 300 rounds. However, in this era where human civilization had just begun, his point of view could be said to be a lower dimension crushing. Because Tan Weili¡¯s point of view was too advanced, the logic of his speech was at a level where the gods of this era could not find logical loopholes. Therefore, the river goddesses could only look at each other, unable to say a word. Looking at the silent river goddesses, Tan Weili smiled and asked,¡±Is everyone satisfied with my answer?¡± After hearing Tan Weili¡¯s question, the river goddesses looked at each other and sighed in unison. At the end of the day, they were just gods who pursued the truth, not internet trolls who stirred up trouble for their own stand. So, when they found that Tan Weili¡¯s speech was flawless, these goddesses no longer felt conflicted. One of the river goddesses said,¡±Young pharaoh, your point of view is very novel and unique. We are very inspired.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t judge whether your answer is right or wrong.¡± ¡°But no matter what, we are convinced by your wisdom. So, we have decided to help you enter the territory of the Evernight Kingdom!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Hearing this, Tan Weili didn¡¯t have time to react, but Bastet, who was beside him, perked up her ears happily. She patted Tan Weili¡¯s shoulder and said,¡±You¡¯re really something, Horus! I didn¡¯t know you were so good at talking.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done!¡± Ra suddenly said,¡±Since you¡¯ve decided to go to the Evernight Kingdom together, let¡¯s not delay any further and set off quickly!¡± It was obvious that Ra had been hiding his thoughts to avoid others seeing his weak side. However, he was still very concerned about his daughter, who had lost control because of the divine power of the sun. Thus, Tan Weili, Bastet, and the Twelve River Goddesses left the Palace of Ra. ¡­ Looking at Tan Weili and Bastet¡¯s departing figures, Shu felt that there was nothing to do, so he bade farewell to God Ra. However, when he looked at Tefnut and asked if she wanted to leave with him, Tefnut said, ¡°I still have something to do, you can go on your own!¡± Shu seemed to have sensed his wife¡¯s thoughts, so he warned,¡±Horus is Osiris¡¯ son. You have to be careful of your actions!¡± Upon hearing this, Tefnut nodded. So the couple left the Palace of Ra. After leaving the palace, Tefnut headed southwest. She passed through the border of Egypt and arrived in Ethiopia. In the palace of Ethiopia, she met Set, who was indulging in his passion. Looking at Set¡¯s lustful and chaotic palace, Tefnut said in disdain, ¡°I was wondering how strong Set, who was once the guardian of Ra and protected him from the attacks of the Netherworld demons, was.¡± ¡°It seems that you¡¯re just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to indulge in lust!¡± Hearing this, Set became angry. When he saw that the person who ridiculed him was Tefnut, Set said in a deep voice,¡±Did you come here because of God Ra¡¯s intentions? He wants to punish me for killing Osiris?¡± ¡°Father doesn¡¯t know I am here. I came to you on my own accord.¡± Tefnut¡¯s voice was high and might as she spoke to Set in a condescending manner. ¡°Oh?¡± Hearing this, Set asked,¡±If that¡¯s the case, why have you come to me, Princess Tefnut?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just wanted to confirm something. Did you accidentally hear that Horus has just left the Palace of Ra and is preparing to head to the Evernight Kingdom?¡± Chapter 20 - The Angry Set Chapter 20 The Angry Set ¡°Horus is preparing to go to the Evernight Kingdom?¡± Upon hearing this, Set was overjoyed. He was originally worried that if Horus continued to attach himself to his physical body, with Set¡¯s strength in the human world, he would never be able to defeat Horus. If that were the case, dealing with Horus would become extremely troublesome. However, now that Horus was preparing to head to the Evernight Kingdom, the situation was very different. After all, the Evernight Kingdom didn¡¯t have a corresponding location in the real world. If a god wanted to enter the Evernight Kingdom, he had to separate from his body in the human world. So, if Horus really wanted to go to the Evernight Kingdom, then he could just wait for him at the border. As long as Horus lost the protection of his powerful human body, it would be as easy as lifting a finger for Set to kill him! Thinking of this, Set immediately said to Tefnut,¡±I¡¯ve never heard of Horus going to the Evernight Kingdom.¡± ¡°But I do have the idea of going to the border of the Evernight Kingdom recently.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, if I really did meet Horus without knowing, that would be too much of a coincidence!¡± After hearing that, Tefnut smiled in satisfaction. ¡°It is indeed a coincidence. I can only say that poor Horus is too unlucky!¡± After that, the goddess quietly left Set¡¯s palace and returned home. According to Egypt mythology, if a god wanted to enter the Evernight Kingdom, they had to first pass through the River of Ra and head to the Kingdom of Unus at the border of the Evernight Kingdom. In order to make it easier for everyone to go, God Ra, after much consideration, decided to send his subordinate, God Anet, to drive the Sun Ark, which he usually led the sun to rise from the east and set from the west, to carry them. When Tan Weili stepped onto the Sun Ark, he saw a fat god with green scales all over his body and a crocodile head sitting at the bow. ¡°Hey! You must be Horus, right? I heard that you defeated that old b*stard, Set. Well done!¡± When Tan Weili stepped onto the ark, the crocodile-headed god immediately greeted him. Tan Weili naturally recognized this god. It was the god of the crocodiles, Sobek, who was responsible for protecting sailors in Egyptian mythology. In the records of Egyptian mythology, Sobek was the son of Set and Neith, the Goddess of the Hunt. However, in the conflict between Set and Horus, he did not stand on his father¡¯s side. Instead, he protected Horus when he was young and prevented him from being harmed by Set. He would also assist him in his fight against Set. Therefore, in Tan Weili¡¯s eyes, Sobek was a friend that he could trust. Because of their relationship, Tan Weili immediately replied, ¡°Hello, Sobek. Say hello to Goddess Neith for me. After I¡¯m done with my work, I¡¯ll probably go to Zawu to visit her.¡± Zawu was a fertile Delta area in the Nile River, and also the center of Neith¡¯s faith. However, in the later years of history, the name of this place would change many times, and it was finally named Neith to commemorate its position as the center of the Goddess Neith¡¯s faith! Hearing Tan Weili¡¯s words, Sobek was overjoyed. After all, as a Pharaoh of Egypt, the political and religious implications of his visit to Neith were self-evident. As long as the man visited Neith, Sobek believed that his mother would soon be able to move from the edge of to the center of faith as an Egyptian god. Even though Set had ignored the rules set by God Ra and killed his brother to seize the position, it had caused public anger. Even his son, Sobek, parted ways with Set out of morality. He had not helped Horus for the sake of benefits. However, the other party¡¯s promise was also something to be happy about. At this moment, Anet, who was in charge of steering the Sun Ark, also interrupted, ¡°Your Highness Horus, the concept of justice that you explained in Ra¡¯s temple has really benefited me greatly!¡± ¡°Do you really think that only things that satisfy the interests of the majority can be called justice?¡± Tan Weili said calmly, ¡°If someone can still claim to be on the side of justice after harming the interests of most people, then he will be the most hypocritical guy I have ever seen.¡± After a pause, Tan Weili suddenly remembered that the boatman who drove the Sun Ark seemed to be a greedy person. Considering that he had been driving the Sun Ark for God Ra all year round, he was a typical low-status god with great power, which was worth recruiting. So he also expressed his goodwill to God Anet,¡±It¡¯s hard for God Anet to sail the ship for God Ra.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re free in the future, why don¡¯t you come to my palace for a gathering?¡± Hearing this, Anet instantly smiled. According to Osiris¡¯ past management, when a pharaoh invited other gods to a banquet in the capital, there would definitely be a celebration related to it. Since Horus had invited him, this meant that the local priests and people would also offer sacrifices to him. So Anet immediately said, ¡°How could I refuse Your Highness¡¯ kind invitation? I will definitely go!¡± Seeing that Tan Weili had pulled Sobek and Anet into his battlefield with just a few words, Bastet, who was on the side, was amazed. She didn¡¯t expect that this guy was not only good at massaging, but also good at socializing. He could easily make friends with strangers he had only met once. But why did this fellow not know his limits and like to touch her stomach so much? Son How annoying! Clearly, one shouldn¡¯t randomly touch another¡¯s stomach! The fact that Ra¡¯s Sun Ark could travel to the far east and land in the far west in a day showed that it was quite fast. After a while, Anet drove it to the end of the River of Ra, to the independent Kingdom of Unus, which was located on the border between the Evernight Kingdom and Egypt. Anet said, ¡°Your Highness Horus, the ruler of the Evernight Kingdom, Apep, is the mortal enemy of God Ra.¡± ¡°If I were to sail the Sun Ark into the Kingdom of Unus, it would definitely cause chaos.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why, I can only bring you here.¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t mind. He said politely,¡±I¡¯ve really troubled you along the way.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget to come to my palace when you have time. I¡¯ll definitely set up a banquet to entertain you.¡± ¡°Definitely!¡±Anet said. After everyone got off the ship and said goodbye to Anet, Tan Weili looked at Sobek. He asked the crocodile god, ¡°Sobek, do you want to follow me into the Evernight Kingdom?¡± Hearing this, Sobek calmly said, ¡°I despise Set¡¯s violence and I am ashamed that this kind of person is my father.¡± ¡°So, please let me help you defeat Set and let him receive the punishment he deserves.¡± Eh? Upon hearing this, Set, who had arrived at the border of the Evernight Kingdom and was hiding there, was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t expect that his son would stand on the opposite side of him and help his enemy! A burst of anger rose in Set¡¯s heart. He immediately stood up from his hiding place and said to Tan Weili and the others, ¡°Very good! Very good! Horus, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at deluding others and making my son my enemy!¡± ¡°Sobek, it seems like I¡¯ve been too indulgent with you! From today onwards, I will lock you up until you repent for your betrayal!¡± ¡°And you, Bastet! I¡¯m going to eat you, you d*mn cat! As long as I¡¯m here, no other Gods of War are allowed to exist in this world!¡± Chapter 21 - Morality and Family Chapter 21 Morality and Family The moment Set appeared, a strong murderous aura and a mountain-like pressure descended. Feeling the powerful aura coming from Set¡¯s body, the whole place suddenly became quiet. No one had expected Set to launch a surprise attack on them at this time. However, after a brief moment of surprise, the gods present did not panic too much. To the Twelve River Goddesses, Bastet, and Sobek, Set was nothing more than a loser to Horus. Based on the battle between Horus and Set, he could only force Set to retreat, but he could not kill him. Therefore, the difference in strength between the two sides should not be too big. However, even if Horus¡¯ performance this time was a little off, and Set¡¯s strength was stronger than in the previous battle, it did not matter. After all, this encounter was different from the one-on-one battle between Horus and Set. Even if they excluded the river goddesses who were only responsible for leading the way and were unlikely to participate in the battle, it would still be three against one. Under the siege of justice, Set would definitely be defeated! The only difference was whether or not the other party could escape like last time. To Tan Weili, there was nothing to be afraid of about Seth. Although he didn¡¯t bring his human body Sekeheim this time, the difference in strength between the two sides was quite huge in a one-on-one fight. But fortunately, he was not fighting alone. He had Bastet, the God of War from Lower Egypt, and Sobek, the God of Crocodiles. With the protection of these two, Tan Weili had no need to be afraid of Set. In Egyptian mythology, Sobek had once protected Horus from Set¡¯s pursuit when he was young With this resume, even if Sobek could not defeat Set, he could definitely escape with them. Thinking of this, the first one to step forward was Sobek. In order to facilitate communication with Horus, the original him had compressed his height to around two meters. However, with the appearance of Set, his body began to expand rapidly. In just a few seconds, his height expanded from two meters to four and a half meters! He was almost as tall as Set, with armor-like scales and an iron tower-like figure. Everyone present even felt that they didn¡¯t need to make a move at all. Sobek alone was enough to defeat Set. Sobek was looking at Set on the battlefield with a complicated expression. Although Set had committed such a terrible crime as fratricide, he was still his father. So, Sobek said, ¡°Just surrender, Set. Your crimes have already been known by God Ra. If you surrender now, I can go to God Ra and plead for mercy so that God Ra can reduce your punishment.¡± ¡°If you insist on doing things your way, then your future will only be defeat and death!¡± Hearing this, Set laughed wildly. However, as he laughed, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes. As Osiris¡¯ brother, he had once served by the side of God Ra with his brother. His elder brother¡¯s strength was not as good as his, so he could only be the emissary of God Ra and pass on the will of the head of all gods to the gods. As the powerful God of War and Power, he was acting as a guard. Every time Ra went to the Netherworld for an inspection, it was he who tried his best to protect Ra from the demons of the Netherworld. However, Ra ignored his efforts and appointed Osiris as the Pharaoh of Egypt, while he only got the poor and backward Ethiopia. This distribution made Set feel it was very unfair. He was jealous of Osiris and thought that Osiris had stolen his pharaoh position, and he was just taking back what belonged to him! Set¡¯s eyes were filled with anger when he saw his son not only did not understand him but also stood on the side of his enemy. He looked at Tan Weili and said, ¡°Horus, what kind of magic did you learn from that evil woman, Isis? How could you bewitch my child to your side and make us father and son kill each other? This is too despicable!¡± Tan Weili was speechless. He did not expect Set to be so shameless, so he said, ¡°I¡¯d like to ask you, what bewitched you and made you kill your own brother?¡± ¡°Father and son? After betraying your own brother, do you still have the right to enjoy family love and the right to receive the help of your family?¡± ¡°If I were Sobek, I also wouldn¡¯t believe that a guy who killed his own brother would not kill his own child for some reason!¡± Before Set could refute Tan Weili¡¯s words, the fat crocodile Sobek, who was standing beside him, said with a sense of justice, ¡°From the moment you killed Osiris, our family ties were cut off.¡± ¡°A kinslayer beast like you can never gain the trust of others!¡± Upon hearing this, Set did not know how to refute. After all, Tan Weili¡¯s eloquence and speaking skills were far beyond that of this era. Set was not a god who was good with words. In the face of Tan Weili¡¯s barrage of attacks, he had no ability to refute at all. However, he was still extremely disappointed. He said to Sobek, ¡°Sobek, my child, I killed Osiris for his pharaoh¡¯s position.¡± ¡°You should understand that I have no reason to kill you!¡± Tan Weili was speechless. Didn¡¯t this guy understand that killing his own brother for his own benefit was already a heinous crime? Could it be that in Set¡¯s opinion, killing one¡¯s family without any benefit was not worthy of the trust of one¡¯s family? At this moment, even Tan Weili could not help but feel shocked by Set¡¯s stubbornness. He looked at Sobek and noticed that the son of Set¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. Obviously, in the heart of the God of Crocodiles, there was no longer any kinship between him and Set. Set also saw the disappointment in Sobek¡¯s eyes. Facing this child who could not be explained no matter what, Set was disappointed. He sighed and said one last thing to Sobek, ¡°Oh, really? Sobek, since you¡¯ve already decided to stand on Horus¡¯ side and become my enemy, I hope you¡¯re prepared to be killed by me¡­¡± ¡°Your father is the God of Power and War!¡± ¡°You are not my father!¡± Sobek¡¯s voice was deep, but his tone was determined. In the next moment, the two gods launched a charge, raising their fists and smashing at each other. BOOM! There was a loud explosion as Set and Sobek¡¯s fists collided. As the God of Power and War, Set¡¯s strength was undoubtedly stronger than Sobek¡¯s. Therefore, the moment their fists touched, Sobek felt a sharp pain in his hand. With a tearing sound, the scales on his hand cracked, and blood flowed down from his fist. However, the pain in his fist could not suppress the anger in his heart. Facing the wound on his hand, Sobek roared without a care, ¡°Old man, your fist is too weak!¡± ¡°One day, you will be defeated by us!¡± Upon hearing this, Set roared,¡±I am the God of War and Power! I will not fail!¡± As they spoke, a powerful force burst out from their bodies. The fists of the two sides also smashed at each other. Boom! Boom! Boom! The rumbling sound of their fists reverberated throughout the battlefield like a thunderclap! Chapter 22 - Bastets Imagination Chapter 22 Bastet¡¯s Imagination On the battlefield at the border of the Evernight Kingdom, Tan Weili roughly understood the strength of both sides as he watched Set and Sobek fight hand to hand. As Set¡¯s son, the fact that he was able to protect Horus in his childhood in Egyptian mythology showed that he had some strength. However, his strength was definitely not comparable to Set¡¯s. Therefore, it was already Sobek¡¯s limit to fight with his fist and resist Set¡¯s attack for a short time. It was impossible to achieve further results by fighting alone. Thus, Tan Weili looked at Bastet and said, ¡°Bastet, go and help Sobek!¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, Bastet was confused. She was very curious. Tan Weili clearly had the strength to force Set to retreat, but why didn¡¯t he go up to fight with Set? Instead, he let her and Sobek deal with Set? However, when she looked at Set on the battlefield and used the sensitive dynamic vision of a cat to capture Set¡¯s eyes on Tan Weili while he was fighting with Sobek, she instantly understood what this guy was planning. ¡°I understand!¡± Bastet perked up her ears, her tail wagging in excitement. Tan Weili was confused when he saw how eager she was. ¡°What do you understand?¡±Tan Weili asked Bastet. Bastet said excitedly, ¡°Horus, you want me and Sobek to wear down Set¡¯s strength so that he won¡¯t have the strength to escape after you attack, right?¡± ¡°Indeed. You are strong enough to force Set to retreat. If Sobek and I attack together, Set will definitely run away.¡± ¡°So, unless you have absolute confidence that you can keep Set here, you cannot make a move!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Horus, I will definitely exhaust Set so that he will not be able to escape after you make your move!¡± I¡¯m not! I didn¡¯t! Tan Weili was stunned when he heard Bastet¡¯s imagination. According to Tan Weili¡¯s original plan, he wanted Bastet to fight with Set. He just wanted to see if Bastet and Sobek could beat Set away. As for ending the battle when Bastet and Sobek were almost at their limits? He had never thought about it. After all, Sekeheim, his human body, was not on the battlefield. Tan Weili, who could not bring the battle to the human level, could not do anything to Set. However, Tan Weili did not tell the other gods how he had defeated Set. Therefore, these guys obviously mistakenly thought that his strength was at the level where it was enough to fight to the death with Set. This was a huge misunderstanding! At this time, because she misunderstood Tan Weili¡¯s thoughts, Bastet rushed to the battlefield after receiving his orders. After she entered the battlefield, her figure also grew rapidly. Her height, which had originally been compressed to two meters to facilitate communication with Horus, rapidly rose to four meters. Set and Sobek were shorter than her, but not by much. After releasing her height, Bastet immediately used her flexible movements and dodged all the way to Set¡¯s back. Then, her cat face showed a wicked smile. Looking at this mischievous smile, the gods present were all curious about what Bastet wanted to do. But the next moment, they were stunned. Bastet, who was standing behind Set, raised her leg and kicked Set¡¯s crotch. Seeing Bastet¡¯s dangerous move, Set was so scared that he quickly dodged. He didn¡¯t even care that he had to take four or five punches from Sobek. After dodging Bastet¡¯s attack with great difficulty, Set, who was in a slightly embarrassed state, said angrily,¡±Bastet, you¡¯re too shameless! As a God of War, you actually used such a despicable method of attack!¡± ¡°As a fellow God of War, I am ashamed of your actions!¡± Hearing this, Bastet covered her face and laughed. The cat said proudly, ¡°A battle of honor will only happen between honorable warriors on both sides!¡± ¡°If one side is a kinslayer, then they are not qualified to expect to be treated fairly by others!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t anticipate your dodge and kick it askew! Otherwise, I¡¯d really like to see you holding your lower body and rolling on the ground, wailing in pain!¡± Facing Bastet¡¯s repeated humiliation, Set was furious. He immediately clenched his fist and launched a storm of attacks on Bastet. Seeing this, Bastet did not fight with Set like Sobek. As the God of War of Lower Egypt, Bastet was quite strong However, other than the God of War, she also had the identity of the Cat Goddess. Therefore, compared to a hard-to-hard fight, Bastet was better at dodging through flexible means, and in the process, she would find the enemy¡¯s weakness and launch a fatal counterattack. Therefore, when Set¡¯s fist was about to hit her, Bastet began to dodge and duck, constantly moving between the gaps of the other party¡¯s attack. In order to make Set waste more energy in attacking her, Bastet began to ridicule Set. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Set, as a former guard of God Ra, why is your attack so slow?¡± ¡°I can even take a nap in between your attacks!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t even satisfy your own wife with such a weak attack!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Hearing Bastet¡¯s mocking words, Set, who originally had no grudges with the Cat Goddess, was furious. He stopped his attack, raised his wolf head, and howled to the sky. The next second, yellow sand rose from the ground, forming a sand cage that directly wrapped Bastet in it. However, after trapping Bastet, Set did not continue to attack her. Instead, he turned around and charged at Tan Weili! In the previous battle, Set had been observing Tan Weili. The reason why he did this wasn¡¯t to avoid Tan Weili¡¯s surprise attack, as Bastet had guessed. The moment Tan Weili landed on the Sun Ark, Set had already confirmed with his human body that this guy did not bring his human body. nan Therefore, Set had observed Tan Weili several times because he wanted to find an opportunity to kill him under the protection of Sobek and Bastet! From Set¡¯s point of view, as the god who killed Osiris, he and Tan Weili¡¯s family had already formed an irreconcilable grudge. In Set¡¯s eyes, Sobek and Bastet were just helpers that Tan Weili had instigated. As long as Tan Weili was killed, they would disperse. Therefore, these guys were nothing to be afraid of! Tan Weili was the only one. If he was not killed, this guy would definitely use his ability to bewitch other gods and make more gods his enemy! If that was the case, even if Set was the God of War and had outstanding strength among the gods, it was impossible for him to be a match for all the gods together! Therefore, to Set, killing Tan Weili was his top priority. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Tan Weili, Set¡¯s wolf-like head revealed a greedy and ferocious smile. As a god who had fought with Tan Weili before, Set knew that the side of Horus that Tan Weili had was very weak. After luring away Sobek and Bastet, Horus was nothing more than a child that he could kill with a single punch! As he was thinking about this, Set had already arrived in front of Tan Weili. Set¡¯s smile became even more ferocious as he looked at the little guy with an eagle¡¯s head and human body. ¡°Die!¡± he roared. He raised his fist and smashed it toward his brother¡¯s son without hesitation! Chapter 23 - Royal Authority Chapter 23 Royal Authority Boom! When Set¡¯s fist hit Tan Weili, a cloud of yellow sand rose into the sky and blocked the vision of the people around him. At this moment, Set¡¯s heart was filled with pride. After all, he had finally killed his only mortal enemy, Osiris¡¯ son, Horus. In the days to come, as long as he used the body of the king of Ethiopia under his control step by step and gradually encroached on Egypt. One day, the lost position of the Pharaoh of Egypt would return to him! But¡­ Why didn¡¯t he have the feeling of smashing his opponent¡¯s body after his fist landed? At that moment, Set suddenly felt as if his fist had hit a huge rock. He could feel the power of the rebound, but the feeling of shattering when he crushed his opponent did not come back at all. This shouldn¡¯t be the case, right? Could it be that his punch had not killed Horus? However, he had clearly exchanged blows with Horus before. Although Horus¡¯ human body was highly skilled in martial arts and could easily kill his human body, Horus¡¯ human body was still too weak. But at the level of a god, he was just a vulnerable child. How could he block his punch? However, when the yellow sand in the sky dispersed, Tan Weili¡¯s figure appeared in front of Set again. He saw Tan Weili putting his arms in front of his forehead and blocking his fist! Tan Weili had blocked Set¡¯s attack! Seeing this scene, Set¡¯s heart was in a state of shock. After all, the other party was still a newborn a few days ago, a weak baby. However, only a few days had passed, and this fellow was actually able to withstand his attacks. Wasn¡¯t this speed of growth a little too abnormal? Set could not believe his eyes when he saw that Tan Weili was not killed by him. But after being stunned for two seconds, he still reacted. Since he couldn¡¯t kill his opponent with one punch, he would use two. If two punches didn¡¯t kill him, then three punches! As long as he kept attacking, with Tan Weili¡¯s current strength, he would eventually be killed by him! Thinking of this, Set raised his fist again and was ready to punch Tan Weili. However, Bastet and Sobek had already reacted. ¡°Who are you attacking? Don¡¯t you know that we are your opponents!?¡± A cat-like scream came from the distance. Bastet took the lead and arrived behind Set by relying on her speed and agility. At this moment, she only felt that she had failed in her duty. After all, under Tan Weili¡¯s arrangement, this battle should have been between her and Sobek to exhaust Set as much as possible, and then Tan Weili would step forward and kill him. But who would have thought that Set would go around them and attack Tan Weili? Such a dereliction of duty made Bastet feel shocked and angry. At this moment, she was determined to use some ruthless means to make Set pay the price! She stretched out her ten sharp claws and passed through both sides of Set¡¯s head, all the way to his eyes. Just as Set¡¯s fist was about to hit Tan Wei, Bastet¡¯s cat claws had already pierced toward Set¡¯s eyes! Obviously, if Set did not care about Bastet¡¯s attack, then he would face a situation where both sides would suffer. Set was the most powerful god in Egypt. However, with his eyes injured, he did not have the confidence to take down Bastet, the daughter of God Ra and the God of War of Lower Egypt. Moreover, he also knew that Tan Weili¡¯s strength had increased a lot. Even if his punch could really hit the other party, it might not be able to kill him. This meant that the opportunity to attack that he had exchanged for by being blind might not be able to achieve his established goal! As a God of War, Set¡¯s intelligence would not drop during a battle. Therefore, no matter how great the temptation of killing Tan Weili was, he was not willing to attack this guy at the risk of being blinded. So he crouched back, rolled back, and directly rolled out of the battlefield from under Bastet. However, Sobek, who was one step late, had already arrived. Facing Set who had not stood up and was unable to resist his attack, he did not hesitate and opened his mouth wide to bite Set. Crack! Set¡¯s head was bitten by Sobek. From the bite, they could hear the sound of Set¡¯s skull cracking It was common knowledge that crocodiles had the most terrifying bite force in nature. As the Crocodile God, Sobek might not be able to beat Set in the field of fist fighting. However, as long as he was given the chance to bite Set, he would be able to give Set a lot of trouble with his powerful bite! ¡°Detestable! Let go of me!¡± Set¡¯s movement was restricted as his head was locked by Sobek. As Sobek had attacked from behind, it was not convenient for Set to attack him. As a result, he could only use his elbow to attack Sobek as much as possible when he couldn¡¯t exert force smoothly. Bang! Bang! Bang! Although the force was not smooth, as the God of Power and War, Set¡¯s elbow strike was still very destructive. These elbow strikes accurately hit Sobek¡¯s abdomen, directly shifting his internal organs and shattering his ribs. Even though these injuries would only take a while for a god to recover, it was clear that after suffering these attacks, Sobek¡¯s physical strength and power would be greatly reduced! It was impossible for him to have a fierce fistfight with Set like before! Sobek also understood this. Therefore, no matter how much Set attacked him, he could only bite Set¡¯s head. Sobek knew that if he opened his mouth, he would no longer be able to stop anything Set did! Seeing that Sobek was determined to kill him, Set was furious. As he attacked Sobek, he roared in exasperation, ¡°Sobek! You ungrateful b*stard! Have you forgotten that I was the one who gave birth to you?¡± ¡°Without me, you¡¯re nothing!¡± ¡°B*stard! Quickly release me! Just what kind of magic potion did Horus give you to make you lose your life like this?!¡± However, just as Set was about to attack Sobek, Bastet had arrived. Bastet¡¯s state of mind was also very bad. After all, she had first seen Set go around her and attack Tan Weili. Then, she saw that Sobek would rather take Set¡¯s attack, even to the point where blood was spurting out of his mouth, than release Set. Such a scene was a bit heavy for Bastet. Therefore, this time, she did not use her trash talk to interrupt Set. She only silently used her sharp claws to scratch Set¡¯s throat, trying to scratch his windpipe and carotid artery! If she scratched Set, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured! Seeing this, Set had no choice but to stop his attack on Sobek and clawed at Bastet, who was coming at him. Just as Bastet and Sobek were busy with Set again, Tan Weili, who was at the edge of the battlefield, was confused. Although his divine power had indeed increased by quite a bit after completing Horus¡¯ birth ceremony, it was still not enough. But he had made an assessment. With his strength after completing the birth ceremony, he should not have been able to withstand Set¡¯s punch! Why? Why was he able to block Set¡¯s punch? In his confusion, Tan Weili checked his body¡¯s condition. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that his divine power had increased by a lot! Tan Weili¡¯s expression suddenly became strange when he saw this. ¡®System, when did my godly power increase? I didn¡¯t seem to notice it before, so I didn¡¯t know that my strength had increased¡­¡¯ Chapter 24 - Connections Chapter 24 Connections The system immediately responded to Tan Weili¡¯s question. [Answer the host. The host¡¯s strength has increased because you have activated your authority as Horus ¡ª royal authority!] [The so-called royal authority and power are to unite the people around you as much as possible and reasonably distribute the power of the benefits obtained by each individual in the group.] (With this authority, you only need to gain the approval of others and make them willing to help you. Your divine power will then increase!) [Also, the stronger the strength that acknowledges your existence, the higher the degree of acknowledgment toward you, and the stronger the divine power that you gain with a single increase!) ¡®I see!¡¯ After hearing the system¡¯s explanation, Tan Weili was suddenly enlightened. It was no wonder that in Egyptian mythology, Horus had to go through trials and tribulations everywhere to gain the approval of other gods. He had also received help from other gods on his adventure. It turned out that this was not only because Set was unpopular, but also because Horus¡¯ royal authority was reflected. Horus¡¯s series of actions had even given him the power to defeat Set! After realizing this, Tan Weili began to recall his various experiences after coming to Egypt. Ever since he was born, Tan Weili had been acknowledged by Osiris and received the help of Isis, Anubis, and Bastet. After that, he had a good conversation with the God of Air, Shu, in the palace of God Ra, and was recognized by the Twelve River Goddesses for his wisdom. In the end, he even got the support of Sobek and Anet on the Sun Ark. Among these gods, there was no lack of famous existences among Egyptian gods. Even his parents, Osiris and Isis, and Shu, the God of Air, were one of the Nine Pillar Gods of Egypt. With the recognition and support of these existences, Tan Weili¡¯s royal authority had reached a rather powerful level. Even though he was still no match for Set, at the very least, even if he did not rely on Sekeheim¡¯s human body and threatened Set with a method that would cause both sides to suffer, he would not be killed by Set in one move as he was Horus! After realizing this, Tan Weili began to think about what kind of power could strengthen his power. There was no hope for Bastet and Sobek. The two of them had already risked their lives for him against Set. Tan Weili didn¡¯t think he could squeeze much more power out of them. As for the Twelve River Goddesses, they had been riding on the wall all this while, taking the position of a fence-sitter. However, they were weak and could not intervene in the battle between the group and Set. Even if he made them pledge their loyalty to him, the power he obtained would not be able to change the current situation of the war. But¡­ These river goddesses were not completely useless. Tan Weili looked at the intense battle in front of him, turned around, and said to the Twelve River Goddess, ¡°Everyone, the situation is urgent. I hope to receive your help!¡± ¡°Your Highness Horus, with our strength, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to help you much. Set is too powerful. Weak river goddesses like us can¡¯t resist his attacks at all.¡± ¡°Compared to this, perhaps you should contact those powerful gods and ask them to help you.¡± Tan Weili shook his head.¡±I¡¯m not asking you to charge into the enemy lines¡­ You¡¯re right, I do need some powerful gods to help me at this time.¡± ¡°So, I hope you can help me pass on the message and summon my allies!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s tone was very polite, as if he was treating the wise with respect. Hearing his request, the river goddesses looked at each other. After thinking about it, they felt that this matter was not difficult. So they asked, ¡°Who does Your Highness want us to invite?¡± Tan Weili said, ¡°I hope you can call God Anet who just left.¡± ¡°Then, if possible, I hope that you can go to the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace and find my mother, the Goddess of Magic, Isis, and tell her about my current situation.¡± ¡°After that, it was the God of Air, Shu¡­ All you need to do is to tell him about the situation here. I believe he should know what to do.¡± Tan Weili already had some guesses as to why Set would appear at the border of the Evernight Kingdom. Therefore, he felt that there was a certain probability of success if he invited the God of Air to help After hearing tan Weili¡¯s request, the Twelve River Goddesses felt that it was not difficult to run an errand for him and do him a favor. So they turned around and left, flying toward their respective targets. After making all these arrangements, Tan Weili turned his attention back to the battlefield. After careful observation, Tan Weili realized that the situation on the battlefield didn¡¯t look good. Although Bastet¡¯s offensive was still fierce, and her sharp cat claws often hurt Set, Set had obviously learned his lesson. In the face of Bastet¡¯s attacks, he didn¡¯t blindly seek to avoid, but often used his limbs to resist Bastet¡¯s attacks. Although this would leave cat claw marks on his hands and feet, these wounds were harmless to Set, who was the God of Power and War. In exchange for an advantage, Set¡¯s defensive power was greatly enhanced. Bastet¡¯s attacks, which were aimed at his weak points, were also resolved one by one. However, compared to Bastet, who only attacked but did not achieve anything, Sobek, who was using his mouth to restrain Set, was in a much more difficult position. After being pulled by Set, his physical strength had reached a state of exhaustion. As the God of Crocodiles, he had an amazing bite force. However, with his physical strength depleted to this extent, Sobek¡¯s masseter muscles were clearly trembling. In such a situation, Set, who had keen battle instincts, would not let go of this opportunity. Therefore, every time Sobek¡¯s strength fell to a low point, Set would withstand Bastet¡¯s attack and slowly struggle to break free from Sobek¡¯s bite! ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, a scream came from the battlefield. The one who screamed was Sobek! After a hard battle, Set had caught his weakness. Set aimed at his heart and elbowed him several times. After a round of attacks, Sobek¡¯s heart was paralyzed and he lost all his strength. Even his masseter muscle was completely loosened after a scream. Seeing this, Set decisively broke free from Sobek¡¯s restraint and grabbed Bastet, who had attacked him. Fortunately, Bastet was the Goddess of Cats. Although her attack power was slightly weaker, he reaction speed was definitely top-notch. Facing Set, who had immediately attacked her after breaking free from Sobek¡¯s control, she decisively retreated and escaped from the other party¡¯s attack range. ¡°Hehe! Dumb cat, without Sobek¡¯s restraint, let¡¯s see how you can attack me!¡± ¡°Come on, dumb cat! Come and attack me if you can!¡± Seeing Set¡¯s malicious intent, Bastet¡¯s face turned ugly. ¡°Horus, I¡¯m afraid that Sobek and I can no longer continue to exhaust Set¡¯s strength.¡± ¡°If you want to deal with Set, then do it now!¡± ¡°If we wait too long, I¡¯m worried that Sobek will be in danger¡­¡± However, even though Tan Weili was able to exchange two moves with Set, he was still unable to defeat him. However, if he wanted to fight Set one-on-one? With his current strength, he was still a little short. Thus, Tan Weili could only say, ¡°No rush, wait a little longer!¡± Bastet was puzzled. She asked Tan Weili, ¡°Sobek and I have already reached our limits. What are you waiting for?¡± Chapter 25 - The Rescue That Came In Chapter 25 The Rescue That Came In Tan Weili wanted to say something in the face of Bastet¡¯s question. However, just as Bastet¡¯s voice fell, a voice interrupted their conversation. Set looked as if he had Tan Weili in the palm of his hand and said to Bastet,¡±No matter what this guy is waiting for, he has no chance!¡± ¡°You guys have been pestering me for so long just to protect this guy from my attacks.¡± ¡°But¡­ how does it feel to work so hard to protect someone you want to protect, only to fail at the last step?¡± Set¡¯s words were full of sarcasm. Hearing this, Bastet wanted to retort, saying, ¡°When Horus makes his move, you¡¯ll know how to spell the word ¡®death¡¯!¡± But before she could speak, a gust of wind blew past Bastet¡¯s ear. In the next second, Set was already in front of Tan Weili. At this moment, Set was clearly in a much more sorry state than when the battle had just started. However, in a situation where Bastet and Sobek were no longer able to contain him, Set believed that he would be able to kill the scourge, Horus! Even if the other party was already much stronger than when he was just born, it would only take a little time. Without any interference, Set felt that it would be too easy to kill Tan Weili! However, just as Set was about to make his move, a strong light suddenly shot out from Tan Weili¡¯s back, straight into Set¡¯s eyes. Caught off guard, Set¡¯s eyes were pierced and painful tears fell down. He took two steps back, covered his eyes in pain, and roared, ¡°Who is it? Who ambushed me?¡± However, what responded to him was a heatwave that seemed to come from the depths of the desert and could burn everything down, leaving only ashes and gravel. The next second, a floating ark rushed out from behind Tan Weili. With a loud bang, it hit Set. Set, who was hit by the ark, was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. This collision had seriously injured Set. At this moment, a proud greeting suddenly sounded from the ark. ¡°Set, long time no see! We haven¡¯t seen each other for more than a hundred years since you were sent to the human world by God Ra, right?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this, I didn¡¯t expect this! How could you do something as ugly as killing your own brother!?¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Set struggled to get up from the ground. Looking at the familiar figure on the ark, he said fiercely, ¡°Anet, this is none of your business! Why are you helping Horus?!¡± There was no doubt that the man who steered the ark with the power of strong light and heat waves to the battlefield was the boatman of the Sun Ark, the God Anet who had always served by the side of Sun God Ra! Bastet and Sobek were fine. Set knew that these two guys with mental problems had always been bound by some unnecessary ethics and morality. This was the reason why Horus had taken advantage of their weakness and manipulated them. But Anet was different! As a god who only cared about benefits, Anet had always existed in a sinister and rational manner in Set¡¯s eyes. This guy¡¯s inner darkness was not much worse than Set¡¯s! Logically speaking, he should not be standing beside Horus! Seeing Set¡¯s confusion, Anet laughed and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Set! You might be wondering why I¡¯m on Horus¡¯ side.¡± ¡°Of course, as an old friend, I should support you. However, that kid Horus has given us too much!¡± ¡°So¡­ accept your fate of failure, Set!¡± Hearing this, Set¡¯s anger flared up. It even affected the wound on his chest that Anet had just hit. Under the intense pain, Set spat out a mouthful of blood. Even so, Set did not have any intention of backing down. He said to Anet,¡±Anet, do you know why you are the boatman of the Sun God while I can be his guard and protect him?¡± ¡°Not only because I¡¯m stronger than you, but also because you¡¯re more cowardly than me! Even if we are equal in strength, you will still think of running away because you are not as brave as me.¡± ¡°And by doing so, the result is that you can¡¯t fight me, and you can¡¯t escape!¡± ¡°So, even if you can¡¯t beat me, you¡¯re still going to stay here and wait for death?¡± Hearing this, the smile on Anet¡¯s face became a little stiff. But at this moment, a scorching gust of wind suddenly blew over. A dignified middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from behind Set. ¡°If Anet can¡¯t do it, what about me?¡± ¡°Shu?¡± Set was shocked when he heard the voice. As a former guard of God Ra, how could Set not recognize Shu? However, he didn¡¯t understand why Shu, the son of the Sun God, the God of Air, powerful and noble, would participate in this battle. And why did he come here so quickly? The speed at which this guy appeared was as if he had always been nearby! But before he could ask, Shu told the gods the reason for his trip. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Horus!¡± he said to Tan Weili. ¡°As Tefnut has some opinions about you, she has created some trouble for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m aware of this, but I think it¡¯s fine if it¡¯s just some minor trouble, so I didn¡¯t stop her.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that as my wife, I know that she has never been able to control the scale when she takes action. It¡¯s very likely that she will do something extreme¡­ In order to prevent such a thing from happening, I¡¯ve been following you from a distance.¡± ¡°Thank the divine god, my judgment was correct. Fortunately, I followed you.¡± ¡°Although I know that you have the power to defeat Set, this matter was caused by my wife. So, please do not interfere. I will deal with Set in this battle!¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili showed an expression that said, ¡°I knew it.¡± Counting the whole process of his arrival in the country of darkness, Bastet, Sobek, and Anet were all on his side among the gods who knew Tan Weili¡¯s whereabouts. As the leader of the gods, Sun God Ra naturally disdained doing such dirty business. Moreover, Set had killed Osiris and challenged the rules set by Ra. In this case, the reason why Ra did not punish Set personally was that he was already old and weak. In addition, part of his strength had been taken away by the crazy Hathor, so he was unable to deal with Set. It was impossible to get Ra to stand on Set¡¯s side! In that case, of the remaining gods, only Shu and Tefnut could do it. He considered the fact that Shu and he had a good conversation and that he did not like Set¡¯s behavior. Therefore, the god who was most likely to expose his whereabouts to Set was undoubtedly Tefnut! Even at this moment, Set was not afraid at all when he saw Shu stand against him to make up for Tefnut¡¯s mistake. He said to Shu,¡±A son of God Ra and a boatman of the Sun God. You two together will indeed cause me a lot of trouble.¡± ¡°But this is just a little troublesome¡­ As the God of Power and War, I will not be easily defeated!¡± In Set¡¯s opinion, it might be troublesome to fight Shu and Anet at the same time. However, he believed that as long as he was willing to pay a certain price, he would still be able to defeat these two fellows. Then, he would be able to get rid of that little brat Horus! Therefore, he did not retreat. Hearing Set¡¯s stubbornness, Shu sighed helplessly. In that case, he could only fight to the death! However, at this moment, ablack mist suddenly spread from the river. Seeing this, Set and Anet both showed a shocked expression. They had all followed Ra to the Netherworld before, so they could naturally recognize that this black mist had the aura of the Netherworld mixed in it! Just as they were wondering who the god who had summoned this black mist was¡­ The crowd heard a goddess who was suppressing her anger say to Set, ¡°Anet and Shu aren¡¯t enough to fight you, what about me?¡± Upon hearing this voice, the gods instantly recognized the identity of the newcomer. This god was none other than the Goddess of Magic whose husband had been killed by Set. She was Horus¡¯ mother, Isis! Chapter 26 - Kill Chapter 26 Kill Set was dumbfounded when he heard the familiar voice and felt the flow of magic in the surroundings. If it was only Anet and Shu, he could still barely defeat them. If they could defeat him, Ra would have long sent them to deal with Set. However, with the addition of the Goddess of Magic, Isis, whose husband he had killed, Set would be in great danger. Thinking of this, Set put away his previous arrogance and his expression became serious. He said to Isis, ¡°Isis, my sister, Osiris is my brother, but he is also the messenger sent by God Ra to the human world to rule Egypt.¡± ¡°As the God of War and Power, it¡¯s my destiny to kill him. Why do you resist fate?¡± What? Destiny? Hearing this, Tan Weili¡¯s eagle-like eyes showed a trace of confusion. Could it be that Set, Osiris, and Isis all knew that the Sun God¡¯s emissary would fall at the hands of the God of War and Power? But there were no such records in Egyptian mythology. What was going on? Just as Tan Weili was feeling puzzled, Isis, who was beside him, seemed to be no stranger to the fate that Set had mentioned. However, even though Isis knew that there was a certain fate that led to Set killing Osiris, her hatred for Set did not decrease. Her voice, which was suppressing her anger, came from the black mist that was rolling over the river.¡±If it were you, would you look at all of this rationally? I don¡¯t think so!¡± ¡°If you can really face all of this calmly, then you should be kneeling in front of Horus right now and allowing him to kill you! After all, this is your destiny, isn¡¯t it?¡± Facing Isis¡¯ aggressive attitude, Set was speechless. Tan Weili was even more curious. What was going on? Why did Isis and Set have a situation that was different from what was recorded in Egyptian mythology? However, just as Tan Weili was about to investigate all this, Isis made a move. In the face of the enemy who killed her husband, the angry Isis could not maintain her rationality for long. It was already her limit to talk to Set. When her uncontrollable anger broke through the limit, there was only one thought left in Isis¡¯ mind: fight! Two figures appeared on the surface of the river that was covered in black mist. One of them had a huge body and the head of a jackal. There was no doubt that this was the god who had the deepest control over the Netherworld before Egypt. He was the God of Mummies, Anubis, who was born from Osiris and Nephthys and brought up by Isis. The black mist with the aura of death above the river was undoubtedly his doing. The other god¡¯s figure was blurry, but the gods present could vaguely see that it was the image of a dignified and elegant woman. Without a doubt, this was the Goddess of Magic, Isis. The moment the Goddess of Magic appeared, she used her authority and called on the magical energy between heaven and earth for her own use. Under the goddess¡¯ command, the turbulent magical energy quickly gathered, and a magic array with cuneiform characters and a large number of mysterious symbols appeared on the battlefield. It was a terrifying spell. If it was a one-on-one fight, Set was confident that he could use his mobility to avoid the effect of this spell and defeat Isis before she could finish casting the spell. But now, Shu and Anet were both on Isis¡¯ side. The black mist that Anubis had summoned also gave him a very bad feeling. Set did not think that it was a good choice to dodge or attack Isis. Thus, Set made the same decision as when he faced Sekeheim in the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace. Escape! Thinking of this, he also used his desert and storm authority to stir up a sandstorm and gradually hide himself. Under the effect of his authority, as long as the wind and sand covered him to the point that he could not be seen by anyone present, he could rely on his authority to teleport himself to any place in the desert, whether it was the divine side or the human side. As this ¡®sandstorm teleportation¡¯ needed to cover up his own existence. If there were humans present, Set would not be able to completely cover himself because humans could not see the sand that he had raised with his divine power and authority. In the end, the teleportation would not work. But now, there were only gods on the battlefield, no humans. Even Tan Weili, who considered himself a human, did not bring his human body with him. Therefore, the gods could not stop Set from leaving by observing him in the human world. The only way to stop him from leaving was to fight him head-on! The first to realize this was Isis, the Goddess of Magic. She, who had mastered all magic in the world, had seen through the mystery of Set¡¯s move at a glance. So she immediately said to Shu and Anet, who were in the distance, ¡°Don¡¯t let him disappear! Once this guy disappears, he will be teleported away!¡± Shu, the God of Air, reacted immediately. As the God of War, Set wielded the power of storms and could set off sandstorms in the desert. Shu, as the God of Air, had the power of wind and had many measures to counter Set! He used the authority of wind and air pressure descended from the sky. The sand that Set had set off was suppressed by more than half by this air pressure! Set¡¯s speed of disappearance was greatly reduced! Immediately after, Anet also used the power of the Sun Ark. The strong sunlight shone on the sand that Set had summoned. Set, who had been covered by the sand and dust, suddenly became clear. However, as the God of War, Set had the strength of the first echelon in Egyptian mythology. Even God Ra couldn¡¯t defeat him easily. Therefore, if he was determined to escape, no matter how Shu and Anet tried, it would be in vain. Facing Shu and Anet¡¯s obstruction, Set first summoned quicksand under Shu¡¯s feet. Shu was caught off guard, and his feet and ankles sank into the quicksand. This sudden change distracted him a little. The air pressure that was summoned by the authority of the wind could not be maintained. It could only let the wind and sand dance and wrap Set up. After dealing with Shu¡¯s problem, Set summoned another storm and attacked Anet who was driving the Sun Ark! As Set had once been the guard of the Sun God Ra, he had accompanied him on the Sun Ark to enter the Netherworld countless times. Therefore, Set knew the situation of the Sun Ark like the back of his hand! The storm that he summoned accurately hit many of the Sun Ark¡¯s weaknesses, directly causing the Sun Ark to shake continuously. In the face of Set¡¯s sudden attack, Anet could not help but curse, ¡°Set, you despicable man! I curse you to die a horrible death!¡± However, after the curse was over, Anet could only give up the sunlight on Set and instead maintain the stability of the Sun Ark. After seeing that Shu and Anet¡¯s obstruction was useless, Set looked at Isis on the river. He said proudly, ¡°It is true that Horus and I will definitely have a battle in our destiny¡­ However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.¡± ¡°Under the blessing of fate, not to mention you guys, even if God Ra came personally, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take me down.¡± ¡°Before your precious son grows up, I¡¯m invincible! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Are you angry?¡± Upon seeing this, Isis, who was still madly preparing her spells, was furious. However, as she watched Set¡¯s figure slowly disappear, she knew that he could not do anything Thinking of this, Isis couldn¡¯t help but tear up. ¡°I¡¯m not willing to accept this!¡± ¡°I was so close to avenging Osiris!¡± ¡°I really can¡¯t accept this!¡± If the gods had not been here, she would not have needed to maintain the image of the Goddess of Magic. If it wasn¡¯t for her son, she would not have to maintain the image of a strong mother. Isis was already in tears. Seeing Isis¡¯ chest heaving and his body trembling with anger, Anubis comforted his adoptive mother,¡±Aunt Isis, it¡¯s not a big deal. As long as Horus can successfully grow, Set will definitely be defeated.¡± ¡°Right now, he¡¯s just struggling on whilst at death¡¯s door.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Upon hearing this, ISIS gritted his teeth. She wanted to say something, but she was still unwilling However, at this moment, a cold, cruel, unreasonable, and arrogant voice spoke. The voice was so high and mighty. However, it was different from the coldness of a god who stood in the clouds. It was more like an emperor sitting on the high throne and announcing the law. The moment the voice appeared, all the gods looked in the direction of the speaker. Tan Weili, who had transformed into Horus, had a pair of cold, eagle-like eyes. He was like a loner who was at the top of power, declaring his authority. He was announcing to the world that his words were the law! The gods only heard Horus say to Set, ¡°I hereby, in the name of the God of Royalty and Law, Horus, announce a law to disdainfully dismiss all deserters on the battlefield. They must be punished!¡± Chapter 27 - The Second Punishment Chapter 27 The Second Punishment Upon hearing this, the originally proud Set¡¯s pupils shrank. The next moment, he suddenly felt a pain that almost killed him descending on his body! ¡°Ah!¡± Feeling the terrible pain in his body, Set arched his body and cried out. His eyes were filled with anger and killing intent. Set¡¯s face was twisted in pain as he looked at Tan Weili. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled as he asked fiercely, ¡°Horus! What did you do to me!¡± However, the only response Set got was Tan Weili¡¯s cold eyes. Time returned to the moment when Set was about to escape. Upon the reminder of his mother, Isis, the God of Air, Shu, and Anet, the boatman of the Sun Ark, tried to stop Set. Tan Weili realized that they could not stop this guy with their own strength. Therefore, Tan Weili also wanted to help! However, what could he do with his own strength? Just as Tan Weili was feeling confused, he instinctively checked his own power. It was fine if he didn¡¯t sense it, but once he did, he was shocked. Tan Weili was surprised to find that the divine power in his body was much stronger than it had been during the battle. However, Tan Weili quickly reacted. The increase in his divine power was within his expectations. Just now, he had convinced Twelve River Goddesses who had originally been neutral, and had them send a message for him. And Anet, who was driving the Sun Ark, had gone from standing on his side verbally to really fighting for him. As one of the Nine Pillar Gods of Ancient Egypt, Shu, the God of Air, had gone from his original appreciation and recognition to the point where he would sacrifice his life to protect him. With the help of his mother, Isis, and his half-brother, Anubis, the number of gods united around Tan Weili suddenly increased. As the God of Royalty, Horus¡¯ power would naturally rise as a result! After the sudden increase in power, Tan Weili was keenly aware that he had gained an additional power to issue laws! As the God of Royalty and Law, Tan Weili, who was in the form of Horus, could use his legal authority to issue a law to the gods. Under the influence of this law, once a god broke the law, they would be punished accordingly. At the same time, because the gods and the collective consciousness of humans were inextricably linked, after Tan Weili promulgated this law, the humans within the scope of his beliefs would have the idea of establishing this law and would soon enact it in the future! In other words, Tan Weili could use the power of the law to attack and restrict Set! However, Tan Weili was keenly aware that this ability was not omnipotent. First of all, because this law would affect the collective consciousness of human beings, the power of law would also be devoured by the collective consciousness of human beings! Under this principle, if Tan Weili announced to Set that the law forbade deserters on the battlefield, it would be impossible for him to escape. This law would not take effect and would restrict Set from leaving. Tan Weili, who had announced this law, would instead be devoured by the collective consciousness of the human race and hurt. As for the reason, it was obvious. After all, in the era before nationalism was truly awakened, the general public rarely had the idea of collective sacrifice because of a certain ideal. Even in some battles in the ancient times and the Middle Ages, the Spartan warriors had been completely annihilated, or the crusaders had fought to the death without retreating. This spirit of sacrifice was only passed down from the citizens of the city and the knights of the fief. For the slaves and serfs, sacrifice? Why would they sacrifice themselves? Therefore, it was absolutely unrealistic to expect Egypt in the 28th century BC to directly ban deserters from the battlefield by law! The laws issued by Tan Weili had to be accepted by the mainstream of this era! In addition, Tan Weili¡¯s legal authority would also be restricted by another factor. As the person who had announced the law was Tan Weili, who had taken the form of Horus, the effect of the law could not exceed the limits of Horus¡¯ power! In other words, if Tan Weili promulgated a law that stated that he would be sentenced to death if he killed his elder brother, he would be sentenced to death. Even if this law was accepted by the mainstream people of Egypt and was approved, it would not kill Set. After all, the current Horus did not have the power to kill Set. Therefore, Tan Weili had to use the law to influence Set within the range that he could achieve and at the same time, within the range that mainstream thinking in Egypt could accept! After thinking about it for a while, as he looked at Set who was about to disappear, Tan Weili realized that he did not have the power to keep him here. Hence, he decided to cause Set some trouble before he escaped! He began to mobilize the power of royalty and law. The moment Tan Weili mobilized his authority, the power of Egypt¡¯s national will and order instantly descended on him. With the addition of power, Tan Weili¡¯s temperament changed. His image began to rise infinitely, as if he were the emperor of the eastern world, Persia, India, and China, sitting at the top of power, like a loner. In this lonely power at the top, he began to issue laws. ¡°I hereby, in the name of the God of Royalty and Law, Horus, announce a law to disdainfully dismiss all deserters on the battlefield. They must be punished!¡± An intense pain suddenly struck Set¡¯s body! Facing Set¡¯s questioning, Tan Weili turned a deaf ear. He just continued to announce, ¡°The first time you violate this rule, you will be caned ten times!¡± From Tan Weili¡¯s point of view, in theory, he could indeed cane Set. However, this was only something that could be done in theory. In actual hand-to-hand combat, Set would not let Tan Weili do that. However, at this moment, Set was trying his best to use his authority to escape from this place. He couldn¡¯t split himself up, so he naturally couldn¡¯t counter Tan Weili¡¯s attack. In addition, Tan Weili used the authority of the law to directly attack Set, saving him the trouble of taking action. Therefore, it was even more impossible for Set to defend against Tan Weili¡¯s attack. So, this possibility, which had only stayed in theory, instantly became a reality under Tan Weili¡¯s legal authority! As soon as Tan Weili finished speaking, two sticks made of order and power appeared beside Set. Under Tan Weili¡¯s will, the two sticks began to wave and hit Set with great force! Pa! The hard stick hit Set¡¯s body and instantly broke three of his ribs. His ribs were broken and his internal organs were displaced. Set screamed in pain again. Looking at this scene, the gods were shocked. Just two simple sentences had caused Set so much pain. It was no wonder that Horus was able to force Set to retreat! If Horus was able to grow, one day, he would definitely be able to trample on Set! The attack of the rod continued. Tan Weili could also clearly feel that his divine power was being consumed rapidly as the stick hit Set. When Tan Weili finished beating Set ten times, he could clearly feel that more than half of his energy had been consumed! Looking at his body that was about to be completely covered by the wind and sand, Set, who was exhausted and weak from the caning, could only kneel on the ground and gasp for breath. Suddenly, he revealed a sinister smile. ¡°Horus,¡± he said to Tan Weili, ¡°that¡¯s all you can do!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already endured these ten beatings! If this is your strength, I can only say that a weak guy like you can¡¯t beat me!¡± ¡°Hahahaha! How is it? You¡¯ve worked so hard for half a day, but you still can¡¯t make me stay. Are you very angry?¡± ¡°Hmph, hmph! Don¡¯t worry, Horus! This failure was just a moment of carelessness on my part! The next time we meet, I¡¯ll definitely trample on you and kill you!¡± ¡°And you guys!¡± He looked at the gods standing next to Tan Weili and threatened them with a malicious tone,¡±Sooner or later, I will send you to the netherworld to be Osiris¡¯ company!¡± However, just as he was about to be teleported away, Tan Weili¡¯s words made his heart sink. The God of Royalty and Law said in a cold voice, ¡°Did you forget something?¡¯ ¡°I only announced the punishment for running away for the first time¡­ As for you, you¡¯ve already tried to escape from me once.¡± ¡°This means that you, who are running away now, will once again suffer the punishment of a deserter!¡± Chapter 28 - The Impatient Isis Chapter 28 The Impatient Isis Hearing Tan Weili¡¯s words, Set¡¯s heart turned cold. ¡°Again?¡± Set, who had been punished by the law once, felt his scalp go numb when he saw Tan Weili preparing for a second attack. However, on second thought, he gritted his teeth and continued to raise the sandstorm to cover the last trace of his figure. In his opinion, although Tan Weili¡¯s legal punishment was terrible, it was obviously much better than being besieged by several major gods. Tan Weili¡¯s punishment was just to make him suffer a little. However, if he were surrounded by Isis and the other gods, he would be killed! As he thought about this, the sand around Set began to dissipate. We After the storm had calmed down, Set had already appeared in the depths of the desert. Horus, Isis, Anet, Shu, and the other gods were no longer by his side. Seeing that he was safe, Set heaved a sigh of relief. However, as he watched Set escape, Tan Weili, who was at the end of the River of Ra, coldly announced, ¡°Second violation¡­¡± With Tan Weili¡¯s announcement, the power of order condensed into a guillotine in front of Set, who was deep in the desert. Looking at the switch, Set could not react in time. He was confused as to what Horus was doing. Did he want to give him the death penalty? Did he have the ability to do so? Of course, Tan Weili did not have the ability to execute Set now. But¡­¡¯ ¡°The second violation!¡± Tan Weili continued. ¡°The second violation, the offender¡¯s nose will be cut off!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp guillotine fell on Set¡¯s face. The sharp blade directly cut off the sharp nose on the Set jackal¡¯s head. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± A scream sounded from the depths of the desert. Set¡¯s blood was spilled all over the ground. Looking at his nose that had been cut off, Set covered the wound in pain and cursed Tan Weili in anger.¡±Horus! I curse you to die a horrible death!¡± While Set was raging in the desert, Isis, who had just finished the battle, heaved a sigh of relief. As the God of War and Power, Set had unparalleled power in the Egyptian pantheon. Other than the Sun God Ra and a few other gods, none of the other gods was his match. As of now, Horus had not grown to the point where he could kill Set alone, but to be able to force Set to retreat again was clearly something to be rejoiced about. Thinking of this, Isis removed the spell she had prepared and said to Anubis, ¡°You should also disperse the power of the Netherworld!¡± ¡°As you wish!¡± Anubis bowed slightly to Isis, then snapped his fingers. In an instant, the black mist from the Netherworld quickly dissipated on the river surface along with a cold and gloomy wind. Then, Isis flew to the gods with magic. She first said to Shu and Anet,¡±Thank you for your help. Without you, this would have been a fierce battle.¡± ¡°Please ask me to visit you and thank you another day.¡± Hearing this, Shu and Anet both waved their hands, indicating that there was no need to be so polite. In this regard, Isis could see the difference in the expressions of the two gods. She realized that Shu¡¯s expression was serious and his tone was serious. It was obvious that he really didn¡¯t need Isis¡¯ gratitude. Even though Isis didn¡¯t know why Shu was helping her child, his attitude showed that the God of Air was helping Tan Weili not out of benefit, but out of morality! Therefore, Isis felt that she should prepare a gift for Shu that was of lower value but full of affection. Anet, the boatman of the Sun Ark, showed a completely different attitude from Shu. Although he said that Isis didn¡¯t need to be so polite, his eyes flickered, and the greed in his eyes was vaguely visible. Thinking of Anet¡¯s greedy personality in the past, Isis was sure that she didn¡¯t need to be too serious about the gift, as long as the value was acceptable. Then, she looked at Bastet and Sobek. The Goddess of Magic said in a leisurely voice, ¡°Bastet, Sobek, I¡¯m also very grateful for your help today.¡± ¡°Horus is lucky to have friends like you.¡± ¡°If possible, I hope to invite you to the palace as guests after this adventure. Is that okay?¡± At this moment, Sobek was being helped up by his half-brother Anubis. Anubis and Sobek were half-brothers, but he and Tan Weili, who was also Horus, were half-brothers. When he heard Isis¡¯ invitation, Sobek said politely, ¡°Respected Goddess of Magic, I am doing this to wash away the shame of being Set¡¯s son. Please do not hold back.¡± Upon hearing this, Isis smiled gently and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be concerned about your identity, child.¡± ¡°While you are feeling ashamed of Set¡¯s actions, your integrity has brought you enough glory to wash away Set¡¯s shame.¡± On the other side, Bastet¡¯s cat eyes glowed with excitement after hearing Isis¡¯ invitation. She subconsciously sniffed with her nose, as if the delicious food in the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace was already in front of her. However, in the face of Isis¡¯ invitation, she still wagged her tail hesitantly and said with some embarrassment,¡±Isis, I¡­ The reason Horus and I are going to the Evernight Kingdom is to find the sleeping fruit that can wake up my sister, Hathor.¡± ¡°After the adventure is over, can I bring my sister to the palace?¡± Isis¡¯ eyes lit up when she heard that Bastet wanted to bring Hathor. As the Goddess of Magic, she was able to see the fate of her child, Horus, to a certain extent. Therefore, when she heard that Bastet wanted to bring her child¡¯s future wife, Isis, as her mother-in-law, was instantly excited. ¡°Of course you can!¡± Although Isis had tried to keep calm as much as possible, Tan Weili could still hear a little impatience in her voice. He heard his mother looking anxious to see her daughter-in-law and said to Bastet,¡±If you can bring Miss Hathor, I¡¯ll definitely make it even grander and prepare a welcoming banquet for you.¡± ¡°What do you want to eat? Just tell me!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s eyes twitched when he heard that. He couldn¡¯t help but interrupt,¡±Mother, you don¡¯t have to be so exaggerated¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Upon hearing Tan Weili speak, Isis changed her usual doting attitude and didn¡¯t give him any chance to speak. She said to Tan Weili sternly, ¡°To a friend who has helped you, no matter how passionate you are, it¡¯s not too much! Do you still need me to teach you such a principle?¡± ¡°Ah, yes, yes, yes!¡± Tan Weili was helpless when he heard his mother. However, he couldn¡¯t help but complain in his heart. Was Isis trying to help him repay her kindness? She clearly wanted him to get married quickly! As expected, after humans left primitive society and established a family system, urging people to get married and giving birth to children were the continuous themes of every family¡­ Chapter 29 - Bastets Confession Chapter 29 Bastet¡¯s Confession The story of Horus passing through the Evernight Kingdom, landing on Philae Island, and picking the sleeping fruit from the island itself was recorded in Egyptian mythology. That was why Tan Weili did not encounter many setbacks or waves in the process of completing this legend. In the Evernight Kingdom, Tan Weili met the God of Sin, Barbara, the God of Graveyard, God Chafalcon, the God of Resurrection, Hairabi, and the divine bull who betrayed God Ra. Tan Weili had either defeated them or convinced them with his charm and wisdom. He had overcome all obstacles along the way and finally arrived in front of Apep, who had the same power as the king of gods and the Sun God Ra in Egyptian mythology. At this time, Tan Weili had experienced many gods related to Horus. He had also relied on the authority of the pharaoh to obtain power from the support of others. His strength had reached a rather high level. Even though he was facing this god who was on par with Ra, he was still not his opponent. However, he could also deal with it and take Bastet to escape from Apep¡¯s blockade. As for Sobek, he originally wanted to take the risk with Tan Weili, but considering that he had been seriously injured in the battle against Set, Tan Weili didn¡¯t let him follow him. After escaping from the siege of Apep with Bastet, Tan Weili finally arrived at Philae Island. In the center of Philae Island, there was a towering tree full of red fruits. Looking at the dark red fruits, Tan Weili knew that it was the sleeping fruit! Realizing that this was his goal, Tan Weili was about to go forward and pick it. Just then, Bastet¡¯s voice suddenly interrupted Tan Weili¡¯s actions. ¡°Horus, wait!¡± Hearing Bastet call him, Tan Weili turned around and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He looked at Bastet. For some reason, he felt that the expression of this Cat Goddess was a bit like the cat he had raised in the 21st century. That little guy had the same expression when he left home. Was she reluctant to leave? But why? ¡°Bastet, why do you have such an expression? Picking the sleeping fruit is a very easy thing to do. You don¡¯t have to show such an expression, do you?¡± Hearing this, Bastet¡¯s eyes showed some hesitation. However, after a few struggles, she still said with a little embarrassment, ¡°That¡­ Horus, in your destiny, you and my sister will become husband and wife, right?¡± Tan Weili was a little surprised to hear Bastet¡¯s question. He began to wonder what kind of existence gods were. First, it was Isis and Set, and then it was Bastet. Why did all these gods know the fate of themselves and the other gods? After taking the risk, Tan Weili had already regarded Bastet as a trustworthy partner. So he didn¡¯t think much and asked Bastet his question. Hearing this, Bastet quickly explained, ¡°I don¡¯t have the ability to pry into your River of Fate¡­ The reason why I can see this is different from Goddess Isis.¡± ¡°She can see your River of Fate. The fate of Osiris and Set is based on a more complicated principle.¡± ¡°As for me¡­¡± At this point, Bastet turned her face to the side. Her Amber cat-like eyes seemed to be glistening with tears. ¡°Bastet¡­ what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Looking at Bastet¡¯s expression, Tan Weili was even more confused. However, just as he was about to say more, a premonition suddenly struck him from the depths of his heart. No way! Tan Weili didn¡¯t know what to do when he thought of this possibility. He tried to keep himself calm, using an almost forced attitude to keep his eyes on Bastet, to stop his eyes from flickering. ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± Facing Tan Weili¡¯s question, Bastet¡¯s face suddenly showed a sad and beautiful smile. She said to tan Weili, ¡°Horus, I can see that you and my sister became husband and wife under the guidance of fate. It¡¯s not because I have any special abilities.¡± ¡°No! If I have to say, this can be considered a special ability.¡± Woma 1d ¡°After all, I am a god, but I am also a woman¡­ From a mysticism point of view, a woman¡¯s sixth sense can usually get more information, right?¡± Tan Weili had mixed feelings when he heard Bastet¡¯s words. He knew that Bastet only realized that he and Hathor were a couple when he saw Isis asking him to wake Hathor. The principle behind it was just a girl¡¯s meticulous observation ability and their strong sixth sense! After listening to Bastet¡¯s explanation, Tan Weili took a deep breath and asked, ¡°So, Bastet, do you have anything else to say?¡± What else did she want to say? Facing this question, Bastet took a light breath and smiled.¡±Horus, you¡¯re so cunning. I can tell that you know what I want to say.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bastet¡¯s accusation left Tan Weili at a loss. He wanted to defend himself and say that he wasn¡¯t sure if his guess was correct. If he guessed wrong, it would make everyone feel awkward. However, he didn¡¯t have the time to say these words. Just as Tan Weili opened his mouth, Bastet walked up, hugged him, and kissed him¡­ To be honest, Tan Weili¡¯s divine form was an eagle-headed human figure, and Bastet was also a goddess with a cat head. Therefore, a helpless fact was¡­ A kiss between gods could not be as lingering and emotional as a kiss between humans. But even so, Bastet still tried her best to express her emotions through this kiss. ¡°I¡¯ve fallen in love with you, Horus!¡± The kiss with Bastet was light. When their lips separated, Bastet confessed to Tan Weili. Then, she kissed Tan Weili again. Not only that, but she also grabbed Tan Weili¡¯s wrist and placed his hand on her chest. ¡°Horus, can you feel my heartbeat? Although you and my sister are the destined couple, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve fallen in love with you.¡± Love¡­ Hearing Bastet¡¯s confession, Tan Weili stood there in a daze. At this moment, Tan Weili didn¡¯t have any memories of his adventures with Bastet. What replaced it was the life he had lived for the past 100 years, the numb life he lived in the Stone Age in the Salisbury area of England. He said somewhat woodenly, ¡°Bastet¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Looking at Tan Weili¡¯s face, Bastet¡¯s eyes were as soft as water. However, the gentler her eyes were, the more conflicted Tan Weili felt. He said to the girl in front of him, ¡°Bastet, before becoming Horus, I lived in an ancient, primitive tribe for over a hundred years.¡± ¡°In those hundred years, I lived day after day, struggling to survive.¡± ¡°Before this, I was able to understand the existence of love. However, during that period of time, not only did I not get any love, but under the pressure of survival and reproduction, I even mated with other women like a pig¡­ That¡¯s right, that¡¯s mating, not making love!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Because of the erosion of that period of time, the current me¡­ I don¡¯t feel the throbbing of love anymore.¡± That¡¯s right! Facing Bastet¡¯s confession, the reason why Tan Weili was so conflicted wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t know how to face such a situation. As an adult who had transmigrated from the 21st century, Tan Weili had experienced this in his own era. Even if he didn¡¯t like Bastet, with his past experience, he wouldn¡¯t be so embarrassed in the face of Bastet¡¯s confession. His bewilderment, confusion, and shock were all because of one thing. Psychologically, he had lost the love between men and women. Bastet was surprised and a little confused by Tan Weili¡¯s explanation. However, seeing that Tan Weili didn¡¯t resist her hug, the kitten¡¯s mouth showed a proud smile. ¡°Horus, it seems that you are even more peculiar than I had imagined.¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why you existed in this world in the form of a human before you were born as a god, I don¡¯t know why. But don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell anyone, and I won¡¯t ask¡­ It¡¯s my fault for loving you so much.¡± As she spoke, the Goddess of War from Lower Egypt suddenly pushed Tan Weili to the ground. A pair of soft, boneless hands groped around Tan Weili¡¯s body and moved downward. ¡°Bastet¡­¡± Tan Weili¡¯s pupils shrank when he saw Bastet¡¯s actions. However, the Cat Goddess smiled and said, ¡°You said that you¡¯ve lost the feeling of love? I should at least help you think of a way, right?¡± ¡°Otherwise, your wedding with my sister will be very troublesome!¡± Seeing Bastet¡¯s actions, Tan Weili was suddenly speechless. The next second, he froze. Motherf*cker! The flirtatious exchange just now made Tan Weili forget something. Cats have thorns! Chapter 30 - A Torn Heart Chapter 30 A Torn Heart No matter from which point of view, the experience with Bastet on Philae Island was wonderful, unparalleled, unique, and irreplaceable. More importantly, it was a pleasure. After getting off Tan Weili, Bastet said to him, ¡°I have a premonition that I will be pregnant with your child. I¡¯ve already decided. This child will be called Maahes.¡± Tan Weili was slightly surprised to hear that. In his memory, Bastet in Egyptian mythology did have a son. And his name was Maahes! However, perhaps due to the limited academic information in the Chinese academic circle, or perhaps there was no record of it in Egyptian mythology, Tan Weili had never heard of Maahes¡¯ father. However, considering that his father had also slept with the two sisters, Isis and Nephthys, and had given birth to Horus and Anubis, he felt that it was a pity. As Horus, he had inherited some of his father¡¯s characteristics. It wasn¡¯t strange for him to sleep with both Hathor and Bastet. After getting the sleeping fruit from Philae Island, Tan Weili and Bastet returned to Egypt. Then, just as recorded in Egyptian mythology, they mixed the juice of the sleeping fruit into the beer and induced Hathor to drink it. After drinking the beer with the sleeping fruit juice, Hathor really did fall asleep. So, they took Hathor to the palace of God Ra. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to succeed, Horus.¡± ¡°Thank you for your sacrifice, allowing Hathor to regain her rationality¡­ Well, I think you should have already sensed the fate between you and Hathor, right?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Ra asked as he looked at Tan Weili, who was standing next to Bastet. Upon hearing this, Tan Weili felt a faint pressure coming from Bastet¡¯s direction. Even though he could no longer feel the throbbing of love, the heavy burden of responsibility still lingered in his heart. But after seeing Tan Weili¡¯s hesitation, Bastet said, ¡°Yes, Father. On the way to Philae Island, Horus already told me that he could feel his and my sister¡¯s fate.¡± ¡°He knew that he would marry my sister!¡± Tan Weili was a little shocked when he heard Bastet¡¯s words. But when he looked at Bastet, he found that she was smiling at him. ¡°Very good!¡± Knowing that Tan Weili already knew that he would be married to Hathor, God Ra didn¡¯t say anything He took back the Sun God¡¯s power from Hathor. In this way, the Egypt Goddess of War who had lost her mind became the Goddess of Love and Beauty, the Goddess of Wealth, the Goddess of Dance, and the Goddess of Music in ancient Egyptian mythology. Hathor, who had woken up from her sleep and regained her rationality, naturally heard her father¡¯s arrangements. The confused Hathor didn¡¯t raise any objections. After all, she and Horus were destined to be a couple. However, when they left the God Ra¡¯s palace and were on their way to the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace, Hathor couldn¡¯t help but pull her sister Bastet to a corner where Tan Weili didn¡¯t notice and chat privately. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, my sister?¡± Bastet was smiling as she looked at Hathor, as if she was looking at a family member who had been separated for a long time. She didn¡¯t seem jealous at all. With Bastet¡¯s superb acting skills, Hathor didn¡¯t notice that her sister had secretly eaten her husband. She just looked at her fianc¨¦ from a distance and asked Bastet, ¡°Sister, I heard that you were with Horus on his way to Philae Island to pick the sleeping fruit.¡± ¡°Can you tell me more about Horus¡¯ personality?¡± Hearing this, Bastet couldn¡¯t help but recall her past with Tan Weili. From their meeting in the temple of Ra to how he talked back to Tafnut for her totheir encounter with Set at the end of the River of Ra to the lingering night on Philae Island. In the end, Bastet said to Hathor, ¡°Horus is a god with a good personality! You don¡¯t know this, but he was the one who came to me first, hoping that I could help him get the sleeping fruit on Philae Island to save you.¡± ¡°I believe that after you get married, his love for you will not be any less than the Father, Shu, Tefnut, and I!¡±. Hearing Bastet¡¯s words, a touch of red climbed up Hathor¡¯s cheeks. When Hathor was crazily absorbing the Sun God¡¯s power from Ra, she was a female God of War with a lion¡¯s head and a human body. After regaining her senses, Hathor had a human face. However, in Egyptian mythology, the image of Hathor was related to the image of a cow. Therefore, even though she had a human face, her ears were sharp and slender like a cow¡¯s, which made her look a little like the legendary elves. When she was shy, her gorgeous face was simply too beautiful to be taken in! Looking at Bastet, Hathor said with some embarrassment, ¡°I wanted to ask you, what is Horus¡¯ personality like? What are his strengths and weaknesses? I want to get to know my husband better before I get married¡­¡± At this point, Hathor¡¯s expression was a little disappointed. Before marriage, not knowing much about the other half of one¡¯s life was a common problem for humans before the modern era. Even in modern times, it was not uncommon for marriage to come first before love. However, her understanding of her fianc¨¦ was not as good as her sister¡¯s. This reality still made Hathor feel extremely defeated. At this moment, how she wished that she was the one taking the risk with Horus. ¡°How romantic it would be if I could adventure and fight with him!¡± ¡°Hey! If it¡¯s possible, I want to do it with him for the first time in my life on Philae Island under a tree full of sleeping fruits!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± When she heard that Hathor wanted to complete her first time with Tan Weili under the tree on Philae Island, Bastet couldn¡¯t act anymore for a moment. Her eyes dodged for a moment. But in the next second, Hathor grabbed her hand and said, ¡°Thank you, Sister! Although the rescue mission for me was planned by Horus, your contribution cannot be overlooked.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very happy to have a sister like you. It¡¯s so good to have you¡­¡± With that, Hathor took a step forward, chuckling as she leaned her forehead against Bastet¡¯s. Hathor chuckled, closed her eyes, and said to Bastet, ¡°I swear, if you encounter any danger in the future, I will definitely do what you did to save me and save you from danger without a care for my own safety!¡± ¡°Even if it means death!¡± Seeing Hathor close her eyes and say ¡®even if it means death¡¯, Bastet couldn¡¯t help it anymore. Tears of mixed feelings flowed out of her eyes. She sobbed and said to Hathor in a sobbing voice, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Big Sister, can you not be so good to me¡­¡± Bastet¡¯s heart felt like it was being torn apart as she listened to Hathor¡¯s confession. If her sister didn¡¯t give her any special indication, Bastet might have been able to calmly face her relationship with Horus. But at this moment¡­ Instead of expressing her gratitude to her fianc¨¦ for saving her, Hathor first confessed to her sister who had stolen her fianc¨¦¡­ A strong sense of guilt instantly filled Bastet¡¯s heart. Chapter 31 - Gods and Humans Chapter 31 Gods and Humans While Tan Weili was returning to the palace with Hathor and Bastet, Isis was not idle either. She first announced the news of Horus¡¯ birth to her and Osiris¡¯ temple. When the priests of both sides learned that the god they believed in had a child, they naturally did not dare to be negligent. They erected the statue of Horus in the temple. After a round of consultation, the priests of both sides decided to jointly fund the construction of a temple for Horus. They also drew manpower from the priest groups of both sides to provide enough servants for the new god. At the same time, some of the priests of Isis were running around amongst Egyptian nobles, telling them about Osiris¡¯ death and the birth of Horus. As the Egyptian nobles in this world were all secular forces in charge of land and military power, there were very few individuals with divinity among them. Naturally, the gods¡¯ interference with them was also very little. And this also made them maintain a skeptical attitude towards the existence of gods. As the Ethiopia King had just killed the old pharaoh in the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace, the new pharaoh had chased away the enemy¡¯s surprise attack force by himself. Thus, in the eyes of many secular nobles, Osiris¡¯ death and the birth of Horus also had an unusual meaning. The aristocrats were all guessing whether there was a hidden game between the pharaohs and the priests behind this legend¡­ While they were speculating, Tan Weili brought the two sisters back to the palace. Isis expressed a warm welcome to the two sisters, especially to Hathor. Under her arrangement, a grand banquet was held in the palace. In order to prepare for this banquet, Tan Weili, at the request of Isis, organized a grand ceremony in the human world in the name of the pharaoh to target Horus, Isis, Hathor, and Bastet. The priests offered large amounts of livestock, meat, bread, and wine to the altar, and used them to project delicious food to the Divine Realm. Then, under Tan Weili¡¯s orders, the sacrifices were sent back to the palace by the priests. Then, a few young girls wearing masks, who played the images of Isis, Hathor, and Bastet, held a banquet with Sekeheim, who was the subject of Tan Weili¡¯s identity in the human world. After the corresponding preparation ceremony was completed in the human world, the gods began to hold a banquet in the Divine Realm. At the banquet, Isis was very enthusiastic about Hathor. She asked her to eat more and asked her about her physical condition since she had just woken up. She also asked Tan Weili to take Hathor around and prepare all kinds of gifts for her. Under Isis¡¯ passionate attack, Hathor¡¯s face was red. Tan Weili, on the other hand, was a little absent-minded. He only occasionally showed an awkward expression when his eyes met Bastet¡¯s. However, this trace of embarrassment fell into Bastet¡¯s eyes, and she couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She looked like a fox who had stolen a fish. Just an hour after Isis and Hathor chatted, Horus¡¯ mother, the Goddess of Magic, suddenly changed the topic and asked Tan Weili,¡±On your way back to the palace, did you feel anything wrong with the noble groups?¡± ¡°What?¡± Tan Weili was obviously taken aback when he heard Isis suddenly ask him this. He thought to himself, ¡®Could it be that some noble saw that I¡¯m young in the human world and my status is not firm, so they¡¯re preparing to attack me?¡¯ If that was the case, Tan Weili didn¡¯t mind showing the noble what it meant to have inviolable royal power! Looking at the murderous look in Tan Weili¡¯s eagle eyes, Isis certainly saw through her son¡¯s thoughts. She said helplessly, ¡°What are you thinking? I didn¡¯t mean it that way!¡± ¡°I¡¯m asking you, did you hear the nobles discussing Horus?¡± Tan Weili only reacted when he heard that. He carefully thought about it, and finally remembered that he had indeed heard the nobles talk about Horus. Because of the existence of gods in this world, those who had divinity and could hear the voice of the gods would naturally be siphoned away by the religious group and become a member of the priest group. This also caused the nobles who ruled the secular world to generally lack divinity, and there was basically no communication and interaction between them and the gods. Many nobles even questioned the existence of the gods, thinking that those gods were just a scam created by the priests to fool the lower class. Therefore, in the face of Horus¡¯ birth, they inevitably linked this incident to the previous Ethiopian King¡¯s bloodbath in the palace, the killing of the old pharaoh, Possibson, and the driving away of the new pharaoh, Sekeheim. After Sekeheim came to power, he massacred the group of priests who had offended him and supported the priests who listened to him. Because they had always been skeptical about the existence of gods, the nobles connected the series of recent events and came to a logically self-consistent but slightly different conclusion from reality. They concluded that all this was the new pharaoh¡¯s campaign to seize power! Before Sekeheim came to power in Egypt the pharaohs were all the incarnations of Osiris, the messengers of Sun God Ra to rule the world. Therefore, from a legal point of view, the pharaoh had to make a lot of compromises to the priests who worshipped the gods. However, after Sekeheim came to power, the messenger of Ra, Osiris, died, and the news of the birth of Horus, the God of Royalty and Law, began to spread widely. In the eyes of the nobles, the new priest did not want to be the messenger of God Ra, but wanted to rule Egypt with his own power! Tan Weili didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry at the nobles¡¯ imaginations. However, because the logic of the story was self-consistent and quite in line with his aesthetics, Tan Weili did not raise any objections. Instead, he acquiesced to the aristocrats looking at the problem with this historical materialism. Thinking of this, Tan Weili asked Isis in confusion,¡±I¡¯ve heard about the nobles¡¯ thoughts, but I can¡¯t comment on it¡­ After all, the nobles cannot come into contact with the gods, so it is good for them to think this way¡­ If we explain it to them, we¡¯ll only create unnecessary trouble.¡± But Isis said, ¡°Child, it seems that you still haven¡¯t noticed where the problem is.¡± ¡°Alright! Your rate of growth has already exceeded my imagination. Perhaps I should tell you the nature of gods.¡± The nature of gods? Tan Weili was curious when he heard that. Tan Weili had grown up in 21st century China. He knew very little about theology. Moreover, it was still uncertain if the theology of his previous life could explain the gods of this world. Therefore, the nature of gods had always been a problem that troubled Tan Weili. After taking a deep look at her son, Isis suddenly asked him, ¡°Child, in your opinion, in this world, is it the gods who created humans, or the humans who created the gods?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili instantly recalled his life in the Stone Age. It had been millions of years since human civilization learned to walk upright from the trees in the African jungle in ancient times. The gods appeared much later. At the very least, the gods of the Egyptian pantheon had only been around for a few hundred years. With this understanding, Tan Weili replied, ¡°If there must be a creator and a created one between humans and gods, then I¡¯m inclined to believe that humans created gods.¡± Upon hearing this, Isis sighed and said, ¡°Child, why do we have to separate a creator and a created one?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t we and humans create each other?¡± Chapter 32 - Focus Shifted To the Human World Chapter 32 Focus Shifted To the Human World Creating each other? Upon hearing Isis¡¯ illogical words, Tan Weili felt a sense of confusion. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± However, Isis did not answer Tan Weili¡¯s question. Instead, she asked, ¡°In your opinion, what kind of existence are humans in this world?¡± What kind of existence? Two hands, two legs, and a head! Tan Weili didn¡¯t know how to answer Isis¡¯ question. This was not because the question was difficult. On the contrary, the question was too simple. But because the question was too simple, it made it difficult to answer. As he thought about this question, Tan Weili subconsciously shifted his perspective and looked at the human world. Tan Weili gradually stopped thinking as he looked at the humans coming and going in the palace. He really didn¡¯t know what kind of short words he should use to summarize the human race. Looking at her son¡¯s silence, Isis said, ¡°In fact, in the eyes of the gods, humans can be divided into two parts.¡± ¡°A part of it is their body in the human world.¡± ¡°The other part is the soul that they projected into the Divine Realm!¡± Body, soul¡­ Hearing Isis¡¯ words, Tan Weili had a thoughtful expression on his face. Suddenly, he looked back at Isis, who looked no different from a human, and asked, ¡°Do humans really have souls?¡± ¡°Good question!¡± Isis was very happy to hear Tan Weili ask her this. She said to Tan Weili,¡±Humans don¡¯t have souls. They only have bodies in the real world, their hearts and brains, and their abstract, formless thoughts.¡± ¡°They relied on their hearts and minds, as well as their thoughts, to create gods.¡± ¡°As for the gods, they created the souls of humans in the myths of creation that humans depicted!¡± ¡°Moreover, because the time in the Divine Realm is not linear, but in a fragmented state, after humans created the gods they believe in, the gods and the souls created by the gods will exist from ancient times to the present!¡± So that was how it was! Hearing Isis¡¯ words, Tan Weili began to understand all the doubts he had in the past. He asked Isis as if he was trying to verify his guess, ¡°If the human body created the gods, and the gods created the human soul, the relationship is not special, but a manifestation of some basic law of the Divine Realm. Then can I make an analogy to this phenomenon?¡± ¡°For example, what the gods have experienced? For example, the River of Fate of the gods?¡± ¡°Smart!¡± Upon hearing Tan Weili¡¯s deduction, Isis was overjoyed. She liked her smart child more and more. Isis said, ¡°You must have been wondering for a long time how Set and I knew about the fate between him, you, and your father.¡± ¡°We can see your fate because your fate is bound to the power you hold. The development of your destiny will definitely change with the changes in the power you are involved in!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take the matter of your father being killed by Set as an example!¡± Isis stood up from her seat with her glass. In a slightly nostalgic tone, she told the story that happened before Tan Weili was born,¡±Twenty years before your father Osiris was killed by Set, there was a war in Lower Egypt. During the war, some lords without divinity mobilized the barbarians living in the wilderness to fight for victory.¡± ¡°In the end, the barbarians had no respect for the Egyptian gods and overthrew the statues of your father and Ra! Since then, the influence of the priests of Ra and even Egyptian gods in the secular world has been greatly reduced!¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Weili immediately followed Isis¡¯ words and said, half-analyzing and half-stating, ¡°This incident caused the religious forces to retreat from Egyptian society. As the social changes in the human world will be reflected in the Divine Realm, the gods who have authority over this matter in the Divine Realm will also meet their corresponding fates.¡± ¡°The essence of this revolution is that the barbarians overthrew the original order of Egyptian society ruled by religion and theocracy through war.¡± ¡°Among the gods, Set is in charge of war and the power of the barbarians. The one who represents the religious power to rule Egypt is Osiris, the messenger sent by God Ra to Egypt to help him rule the world.¡± ¡°It is this relationship that made you realize that Set will definitely kill Osiris, right?¡± Upon hearing this, Isis nodded in agreement. She said, ¡°The revolution twenty years ago was the cause.¡± ¡°Set also took advantage of this opportunity. As the king of Ethiopia, he carried out a massacre in the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace. He completely locked onto the fate of your father¡¯s death and really killed your father.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Tan Weili nodded. Then, he asked Isis in a tone of seeking confirmation, ¡°The power I hold is royalty, order, law, and revenge. If I really want to kill Set, does it mean that I have to maintain the rule of Egypt through the power of authority-related fields and resist the threat of war and barbarians through the new order?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Isis once again agreed with Tan Weili¡¯s guess. She said to Tan Weili, ¡°The old religious theocracy represented by your father is no longer able to ensure social stability when Egypt is attacked by foreign barbarians.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s still unknown where the new order will come from.¡± ¡°If royalty and order ensure the social stability of Egypt, then you can win against Set. And if Egypt falls into chaos due to the war between the barbarians and foreigners, Set will win!¡± At that moment, Tan Weili suddenly understood why Set was so afraid that his human body would be killed by Sekeheim! He was afraid that Tan Weili would use the development of the human world to lock onto Horus¡¯ fate of defeating Set! Only when the king of Ethiopia was alive would Set be able to interfere with the human world and let Ethiopia destroy the order of Egypt. Once the king of Ethiopia died, Set would no longer have the ability to directly interfere with the real world. And he could only welcome the fate of defeat and death! After understanding all this, Tan Weili also realized that the key to his war with Set was in the human world. Only by governing Egypt well and making royal power and law the new order of Egypt could he defeat Set completely! So, on the day after the banquet, Tan Weili studied through the night and came up with a plan to develop Egypt. The next morning, he gathered all the nobles and priests in the kingdom and announced his new rule as Pharaoh Sekeheim to the officials! Chapter 33 - Sekeheims New Deal Chapter 33 Sekeheim¡¯s New Deal In the 21st century, where Tan Wei¡¯s motherland was established, the China materialists generally pursued a maxim: ¡®Science and technology are the first productivity.¡¯ Therefore, in China transmigration novels, as long as many transmigrators stabilized themselves and established their own regime they would try to solve the problems in front of them through two means, to promote the development of science and technology and to build industries! Under the influence of this culture, Tan Weili couldn¡¯t help but think in this way. However, after much consideration, Tan Weili gave up the idea of solving the current problem by climbing up the ladder of technology and developing the industry. After all, as a historical materialist, Tan Weili knew very well that every change in productivity would inevitably lead to a reshuffling of vested interest groups, and social unrest. War, coup d¡¯¨¦tat, power-seizing, conspiracies, and all sorts of conflicts were almost impossible to stop. And these things were contrary to Tan Weili¡¯s demands! What was Tan Weili¡¯s request? As a god, he had experienced a great adventure in the Divine Realm of Egypt, won the heart of the goddess, and had his own family. However, every time he closed his eyes, the system¡¯s words would appear in front of him. He would never forget that he was a time traveler, a time traveler who was looking forward to returning to the 21st century! In order to return to the 21st century, the primary purpose of his visit to Egypt was, and could only be, to build the pyramid! In order to build the pyramid, he had to complete the unification of Egypt at the human level and defeat Set, who was coveting his position as the pharaoh at the divine level! Therefore, he would not allow too much turmoil to happen in Egypt. Stability was very important to Tan Weili. Since he didn¡¯t intend to solve the current problem through productivity reform, Tan Weili could only use political reform to distribute the existing resources and achieve his goal. And if Tan Weili wanted to do that, he had to accurately understand the details of the Egypt problem. Fortunately, the current Ancient Egypt civilization had only been born less than 500 years ago, and they were quite young. Therefore, in this young civilization, there were not too many complicated conflicts of interest. There were also no complicated causes for social problems. If one wanted to solve problems, they did not need too complicated methods. In some sense, the problem Tan Weili was facing was quite simple. At this time, the reason why Egypt was in turmoil due to foreign enemies and wars was that the Ancient Egyptian civilization, which had just entered the Ancient Era, had chosen a theocracy system. Of course, Tan Weili did not mean to say that the theocracy was bad. However, the existence of each system needed to consider the current environment according to local conditions and whether it could adapt to solve the difficulties encountered in people¡¯s production and life. Obviously, because the group of priests occupied a large number of social resources and took these social resources for their own enjoyment in the name of worshipping the gods, they were not afraid of death. The Egyptian army, which had a certain combat power before the Ancient Era, had already begun to show signs of overusing its weapons due to the lack of resources. The weakening of their military strength had also made Egypt lose the ability to suppress the threat of the barbarians around them. This gave Set an opportunity. If Tan Weili wanted to get rid of Set, there was only one thing he had to do. He had to plunder a copy of the priest group¡¯s interests and hand it over to the secular military aristocrats! Then, with the support of the military aristocrats, the barbarians, wars, and foreigners would no longer be a threat to the royal power! ¡°No!¡± In the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace, when the priest of Tefnut heard that Tan Weili was going to reduce the offerings of the priests and invest resources in the military field, he was the first to stand up and raise an objection. The priest was promoted by Tan Weili after the original priest of Tefnut was killed. As such, he still had a good impression of the pharaoh. However, the favor of support was ultimately no match for the faith of the gods and their own interests. Today, before Tan Weili summoned the priests of the temple to the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace for a meeting, Tefnut had already given an oracle to her priests to do everything they could to hinder the new policies implemented by the new pharaoh! In addition, Tan Weili¡¯s reform had indeed violated the interests of the priest group. So, even though Tan Weili had helped the priest of Tefnut a lot, he still stood up and opposed Tan Weili¡¯s new policies! Seeing that they were about to transfer the interests of the priest group to the military nobles who had no divinity and could not listen to the gods¡¯ teachings, the priest of Tefnut said coldly,¡±Great Pharaoh, I can understand your thoughts.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that Egypt is in imminent danger under the threat of Ethiopia and other barbarian kingdoms. The plan to improve our military strength does need to be put on the agenda.¡± ¡°But please don¡¯t forget that the soldiers of the temple also need people to support them!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± The priest in front of Tan Weili was a tall and thin man. His face was painted with white paint made of lime, making him look like a charlatan. But it was said that this guy had a good reputation among the priests of the gods, and was called a handsome man. Tan Weili looked at the priest and asked, ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± At the same time, since Tan Weili was ready to seek benefits for his group, many military nobles naturally returned the favor and stood up for Tan Weili. A middle-aged general, who was about 1.8 meters tall and could definitely be called a giant in this era where productivity was backward and the per capita nutrition intake was far less than that of the 21st century, stood up, and said to the priest of Tefnut sternly, ¡°You want to threaten the Pharaoh? You guys are really bold!¡± As he spoke, his face turned dark and murderous, as if he was ready to kill the priest. Seeing the military nobles¡¯ fierce looks, the priest of Tefnut certainly did not dare to admit to the accusation of threatening the Pharaoh. He immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to threaten the Pharaoh. I¡¯m just stating a fact.¡± ¡°That is, whether it is us priests who serve the gods or the soldiers who help you bathe in blood on the battlefield, everyone needs to eat!¡± ¡°And where did this food come from? The farming of the farmers? This is, of course, an indispensable part of the food production process, but more importantly, it is a gift from the gods.¡± ¡°If the Pharaoh cuts down on the religious expenses in the country, it will only cause the food and clothing of us priests to be reduced. Of course, we will gladly accept it¡­ However, whether the gods who gave us food will continue to be kind to the Egyptians is something that even we, the priests who serve the gods, don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°So, I hope that the Pharaoh will not ignore the big picture for the small and save on expenses that should not be saved!¡± Tan Weili narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He asked the priest of Tefnut, ¡°The god, Tefnut, is in charge of humidity and rainfall. If I cut your expenses, will Tefnut stop this year¡¯s rainfall?¡± Hearing Tan Weili¡¯s question, the priest put on a fake smile and said, ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. Maybe, maybe not! After all, even us servants cannot be sure about the gods!¡± As a servant of Tefnut, the priest was not only familiar with the rituals of worshiping the gods, but also the twists and turns of political struggles. If he agreed with Tan Weili¡¯s statement, he would undoubtedly be accused of ¡®scaring the Pharaoh¡¯ by the military nobles. He wasn¡¯t stupid, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t make a dead end. However, even though he had already avoided the charge of ¡®scaring the Pharaoh,¡¯ everyone could still hear the threat in his words. Thus, at this moment, the priests and military nobles on the scene stood on both sides unnoticeably. The atmosphere started to get tense! Chapter 34 - The Threat of Tefnuts Priest Chapter 34 The Threat of Tefnut¡¯s Priest If the military nobles¡¯ hostility and offense to the priests group were tacitly approved by Tan Weili, then the priests group would be in a bad mood. As the supreme ruler of the entire kingdom, Tan Weili¡¯s position as the Pharaoh would be damaged if he were to get into a fight with his subordinates. Therefore, when he saw the atmosphere become tense, Tan Weili suddenly laughed and said, ¡°What are you guys doing? I know you¡¯re all doing this for the good of this country.¡± ¡°The priests are worried that without gods¡¯ protection, Egypt will not be able to maintain its stability. This is normal.¡± ¡°Nobles need to consider more secular things, and this part of the matter is equivalent to serving the gods. This is also understandable.¡± ¡°So, stop quarreling!¡± What? Although Tan Weili¡¯s words seemed to be fair and didn¡¯t offend either side, however, as a country with a tradition of theocracy for two to three hundred years, even though Egypt had already had a new dynasty, the idea that gods were superior to others had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, when Tan Weili said that ¡®the things of the secular world and the things of serving the gods are equal,¡¯ all the priests present were shocked. This Pharaoh was going against the heavens! The priests who realized this all showed serious expressions. Seeing this, the priest of Tefnut immediately started another round of pressure on Tan Weili. The priest, whose face was painted with white paint and looked rather strange to Tan Weili, said to him, ¡°Although what the Pharaoh said makes sense, I think that even if there are equal things, there should be a hierarchy of priority, right?¡± ¡°Food security is the foundation of the entire country, and food is something that the gods have given us. I hope that the Pharaoh will understand that without food, the army will not be able to develop!¡± Upon hearing the threat, Tan Weili said with a fake smile,¡±Oh? Do you mean that Tefnut will cause a famine in Egypt?¡± The priest of Tefnut fell silent for a moment. He couldn¡¯t admit to Tan Weili¡¯s words in a direct and affirmative tone, or he would fall into the political trap that the other party had set up. Hence, he could only say to Tan Weili,¡±Pharaoh, even as a priest of the gods, I can only barely guess the actions of the gods. As for whether it¡¯s right or wrong¡­ How can we mortals completely understand the matters of the gods?¡± ¡°You can ask the other priests if they can completely guess what their god is thinking.¡± Hearing his words, all the priests¡¯ expressions became even more serious. The priest of Tefnut was trying to drag them down! However, Tan Weili didn¡¯t care about the priest of Tefnut¡¯s words. He was not in a hurry to get the priests present to take a stand. Instead, he said, ¡°If Tefnut really wants Egypt to fall into a famine, then come!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t believe in a god that will drag Egypt down when it¡¯s in danger!¡± V What? Hearing Tan Weili¡¯s words, the priest was dumbfounded! Blasphemy! What kind of blasphemy was this!? Was he really not afraid of being punished by the gods for saying such things? Since things had come to this, the priest of Tefnut had nothing to say. He could only use the excuse that Tan Weili¡¯s words were serious and that he needed to return to the temple to communicate with the gods and then leave the palace first. Tan Weili did not make things difficult for the priest as he watched him leave. He advocated for stability in this reform and did not intend to be enemies with the entire priest group. The most preferred way for him to reform was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and establish his authority through the struggle with the priest of Tefnut. Therefore, he told the priests that the reform would be carried out slowly in one or two years, giving them enough buffer time to prepare. When the priests heard Tan Weili¡¯s words, they understood what he meant and calmly watched. If the young Pharaoh could really resist the punishment of the Great God, Tefnut, and bring Egypt to peace and stability, and the gods behind them chose to compromise, the priests would naturally not be like the priest of Tefnut, who stood out and directly clashed with the Pharaoh. And if Tan Weili showed weakness in this battle¡­ Then, sorry! These priests would work together to teach the young Pharaoh a lesson, to tell him how cruel political struggles were! With the departure of the priests, the battle between Tan Weili and Tefnut began. In order to win this political struggle, Tan Weili still needed to prepare a few things. Late at night, while Tan Weili was still working at his desk, he suddenly smelled a fragrance like milk and honey. He looked around and found no one in front of him. Only the two maids behind him were gently fanning him with feather fans. However, they had obviously been here for quite some time. Thus, Tan Weili understood tacitly and switched to the perspective of the Divine Realm. Sure enough, there, he saw a beautiful girl with delicate features and long ears, as beautiful and charming as a legendary elf. It was Hathor! Hathor walked up to Tan Weili with a plate and said, ¡°I saw that you¡¯ve been here for so long, as if you were in a daze, so I guessed that you must be working in the human world.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve specially prepared some desserts for you¡­ Although the one who¡¯s really tired is you in the human world, eating desserts in the Divine Realm can also have a certain soothing effect.¡± As she spoke, she placed a plate of cheese in front of Tan Weili. ¡°Thank you!¡± Tan Weili didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with his fianc¨¦e¡¯s kindness. He asked Hathor to sit down and began to eat the cheese that was carefully prepared by him. Looking at her fianc¨¦¡¯s expression of enjoyment the moment he ate the cheese, Hathor asked softly, ¡°I heard that you had a conflict with Tefnut. Are you alright? Do you need me to mobilize my own priests to stand on your side?¡± Hearing this, Tan Weili chuckled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. At this stage, I hope to deal with the pressure from Tefnut by myself.¡± ¡°En!¡± After learning of Tan Weili¡¯s choice, Hathor didn¡¯t object. She said to Tan Weili, ¡°As your wife, I will support you no matter what you do!¡± Tan Weili smiled when he saw how serious Hathor was. He said to Hathor,¡±In fact, the pressure that Tefnut can exert is very limited.¡± ¡°As gods, we know our own abilities very well. We know that we can only play some small tricks in the field of the collective consciousness of human beings.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t really cause a famine in Egypt!¡± Hearing this, Hathor nodded in agreement. As a god, Tefnut did not have the ability to interfere with the human world, so it was impossible for her to cause a drought and flood in Egypt. The only thing she could do was to tamper with the collective consciousness of human beings and make people have the illusion that the weather was not good this year when the weather was obviously good. Under the influence of this illusion, people would judge that this year¡¯s grain harvest would have serious problems. Then, some merchants who smelled the food crisis would hype up the price of food and hoard it! Such behavior did not change the fact that Egypt had had enough food in the past. However, this kind of behavior that destroyed the order of the market would indeed affect the food supply in Egypt from the distribution side, which would cause some trouble for Tan Weili. However, Tefnut was not everywhere. She would not be able to control the food market very well. As long as Tan Weili wanted to, he had a hundred ways to solve the problem that Tefnut had caused in the food market! Chapter 35 - The Outbreak of Conflict Chapter 35 The Outbreak of Conflict The battle between Tan Weili and Tefnut revolved around the food market in Egypt. This meant that their struggle would end when the wheat was harvested in the summer next year. Fortunately, it was only late autumn in Egypt. Tan Weili had more than half a year to make full arrangements to deal with the threat of Tefnut. As the days passed, a piece of news began to spread among the Egyptian people. Many experienced farmers, through their own experience, predicted that Egypt would usher in a drought next year. The entire country would fall into the predicament of a food shortage. He didn¡¯t think that this Tefnut wasn¡¯t brainless at all¡­ She just doesn¡¯t like to use what little intelligence she had on the right thing From an outsider¡¯s point of view, there were still some eye-catching aspects to the way Tefnut operated. She knew very well that she did not have the ability to really reduce the rainfall in Egypt, so she did not let the priest announce the news that Egypt would have a drought next year. In contrast, she chose to influence the thoughts of some farmers to make them think that there would be a drought next year. Such an operation prevented a direct conflict between her priest and Tan Weili. It was more obscure and more difficult to deal with. From Tan Weili¡¯s point of view, Tefnut¡¯s operation was quite interesting. However, it was only a little interesting! As a transmigrator who had transmigrated from the early 21st century to this era, Tan Weili had more than 4000 years of experience than the political struggles in Egypt. To him, the little tricks of Tefnut were nothing to be afraid of! In the face of possible market fluctuations, Tan Weili decisively introduced a new policy to set up the government. They would purchase Egyptian wheat in large quantities at a slightly higher price than the current market price! Then, he stored this batch of food in the palace and left it to the most loyal guards to look after it. Seeing this, Hathor asked curiously,¡±What are you planning to do with so much food?¡± ¡°I plan to sell this batch of wheat at a price slightly lower than the market price at the beginning of next summer, when the Egyptian people are short of food supply, to ease the food shortage situation!¡±Tan Weili explained. Tan Weili¡¯s policy was just a normal food price protection policy in many countries in the 21st century. However, for the human civilization that had just entered the Ancient Era, it was an unparalleled pioneering work! Therefore, when she heard Tan Weili¡¯s plan, she was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect such a thing to happen in this world! Then, Tan Weili used his authority as the Pharaoh to gather the main grain merchants in Egypt and hold talks with them. He ordered these grain merchants not to engage in speculation in the food supply field and raise the price of grain. If there was anyone who violated this rule, the Pharaoh would not mind killing all the male members of their family! From Tan Weili¡¯s point of view, free trade was an effective way to promote prosperity, so he would try to give merchants the right to free trade if conditions were met. However, this freedom was not enjoyed by grain merchants. After all, what the grain merchants had to do was very simple. They only had to spend money to buy the farmers ¡®grain and supply it to others. That was all. You couldn¡¯t expect to play any tricks with such a simple job. Therefore, in Tan Weili¡¯s opinion, as long as a reasonable price was set so that the grain merchants would not starve to death, it would be considered as being very kind. On this basis, the only thing the ruler had to do was to prevent these grain merchants from raising the price of grain and creating a man-made famine, just like how they had to guard against thieves! ¡°B*stard!¡± In a room in Egypt in Ra¡¯s Palace, the Goddess of Moisture and Rain, Tefnut, had changed her elegant image in front of others and was cursing like a shrew. Ever since she was born, she had never been in such a helpless situation. Ever since Tan Weili had offended her for Bastet in Ra¡¯s Palace, Tefnut had been holding a grudge. And when she had been informed that Set¡¯s plan to intercept Tan Weili had failed, her hatred for Tan Weili had become stronger. She knew that the battle between Tan Weili and Set had to be carried out around the mortal realm. As such, the new policies that Tan Weili announced as Sekeheim would become the most important part of his battle against Set as Horus! In order to vent her hatred for Tan Weili, Tefnut decided to ruin his new policy! But to her surprise, her tactic of instigating the order of the Egyptian food market to put pressure on the Pharaoh did not work in front of Tan Weili! This guy seemed to have thought about this for a long time. He had come up with a set of policies to prevent the food market from fluctuating, and with the government¡¯s visible hands, he flattened the food price! As a god, Tefnut had been born only a few hundred years ago. Egypt, where she lived, was also a new classical civilization. The complexity of its society could definitely be called simple and honest in the 21st century! She had never seen such a method before! In the face of Tan Weili¡¯s almost other-dimensional attack, if Tefnut could really cause a famine in Egypt, there was still a possibility of resistance. But all she could do was destroy the confidence of the food market. It was destined that she would not be able to win against Tan Weili. However, Tefnut was not willing to be defeated by Tan Weili. After much consideration, she made a vicious decision. Soon, Tefnut arrived in Ethiopia again and found Set, who was Tan Weili¡¯s number one enemy. one ¡°Eh? Tefnut, what are you doing here?¡± At that moment, Set looked very pathetic and comical because his nose had been cut off by Tan Weili. He could only wrap his nose with a bandage to cover up the embarrassment. When the God of War saw her, he said angrily, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to dare to come see me! If you had not asked me to intercept Horus, I would not have been besieged by the gods, and that little fellow would not have plotted against me¡­¡± At this point, Set, whose nose had been cut off by Tan Weili, felt a sharp pain coming from the bridge of his nose again, which made him grimace. However, Tefnut did not care. an She only said coldly,¡±Regarding that matter, I am only responsible for explaining Horus¡¯ whereabouts to you. As for whether you want to go or not, that¡¯s entirely up to you. I have never forced you to do anything.¡± ¡°However, I overestimated your strength. I didn¡¯t think that you would really be beaten so badly by that little kid, Horus.¡± Upon hearing the sarcasm, Set, who was already angry from the pain, became even angrier. But just as he was about to roar at Tefnut and teach the woman a lesson, Tefnut said, ¡°I didn¡¯t come here today to argue with you.¡± ¡°As the God of War, you should know the risks of that battle better than I do. Since you think that you can kill Horus, what makes you think that I can predict the outcome of the battle more accurately than you? Am I right? The powerful God of War Set!¡± Uh¡­ It had to be said that even though Tefnut advocated chaos and had a problematic standpoint, she was still a good person. But when her intelligence was online, she was still very skillful in speaking. After hearing the compliment, Set immediately felt his anger dissipate. Since Tefnut had already said that, Set naturally could not do anything to her. Helplessly, he could only ask Tefnut in a low voice,¡±What do you want to do this time?¡± ¡°I want to cooperate!¡±Tefnut said, ¡°I want to work with you.¡± ¡°Next summer, when Egypt¡¯s agriculture is lacking in resources, I will use my authority and influence to incite the food crisis in Egypt as much as possible and destroy its order.¡± ¡°At that time, I hope you can mobilize Ethiopia to send troops to Egypt to give Horus an unforgettable lesson!¡± Chapter 36 - The Authority of Revenge Chapter 36 The Authority of Revenge In the region of the Divine Realm that corresponded to the training field in the Pharaoh¡¯s Palace. Compared to the Palace¡¯s training field in the human world, which was very simple and crude due to backward productivity and was almost an empty space, the training field in the Divine Realm was obviously much more magnificent. With the support of the Divine Realm¡¯s power, this training field appeared to be less than a hundred square meters in size from the perspective of the spectators. But in reality, the training field was filled with the magical power of the Divine Realm, causing the space to distort. When a god stepped into the arena, they would find that the actual area of the arena was nearly one hectare wide! On the training field, Tan Weili, who had transformed into Horus, spread his wings and flew in the air. At the same time, his sharp gaze was locked on a figure on the field. The figure had the body of a human and the head of a jackal. His appearance was almost identical to Set, the God of War in Egyptian mythology. However, compared to the real Set, who was constantly emitting a malicious and ostentatious aura with ¡®I am a b*stard¡¯ written all over his face, this Set was much more dull and rigid. Obviously, this was just a fake that Isis had copied using magic! However, even if it was a fake, his strength was still not to be underestimated. Using the power of authority simulated by magic, this clone of Set also had the ability to summon storms and sandstorms. When he called for a sandstorm to surround him, Tan Weili could not even withstand the strong wind pressure to break through the fake Set¡¯s defense and fight him head-on! Tan Weili¡¯s eyes were cold as he avoided the sandstorm caused by the fake Set. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and announced, ¡°Here, in the name of Horus, the God of Royalty and Law, I declare a law that states that anyone who cuts down trees in the oasis without permission and causes a sandstorm will be punished!¡± The law announced by Tan Weili seemed to prohibit ordinary people from destroying the desert oasis. However, he had also left a loophole in the laws he had enacted. In his description, there was no clear connection between the wanton cutting of trees in the oasis and the sandstorm. If such a legal text were to be placed in the human world, people would, of course, subconsciously view the two as a cause-and-effect relationship. The sandstorm was caused by the wanton chopping of trees in the oasis. After all, in the human world, even in the 21st century, it was almost impossible for humans to increase the probability of sandstorms appearing by means other than destroying vegetation. However, just because the mortals in the human world couldn¡¯t do it, it didn¡¯t mean that the gods in the Divine Realm couldn¡¯t do As the God of Desert and Storm, Set had the power to directly cause a sandstorm. Therefore, if Set really wanted to cause a sandstorm in front of Tan Weili, he could use the loopholes he left in the legal text and his own legal authority to distort the interpretation of the law. At that time, the ¡®causing a sandstorm in the oasis¡¯ and ¡®cutting down trees in the oasis¡¯ would be considered as a cause and effect relationship. Therefore, even if Set did not start a massacre in the oasis, as long as he caused a sandstorm in front of Tan Weili, he would still be punished! With Tan Weili¡¯s words, the sandstorm caused by the fake Set slowed down significantly. Then, Tan Weili added, ¡°The first violation will strip you of a quarter of your property!¡± Since Tan Weili was the wielder of the law, he could explain his own laws to a certain extent. Therefore, when Tan Weili announced the punishment, he immediately determined the definition of property. He defined that for the gods, the treasures provided by humans were mere worldly possessions and not wealth. Only the divine power in their bodies could be considered as their precious property. And if a god violated the law of not triggering a sandstorm, they would also be stripped of their divine power by Tan Weili! For Egyptians in the desert, protecting the oases had been a consensus they pursued for generations. Even if the Pharaoh wanted to kill the people who destroyed the oasis, no one would probably object, let alone take away a quarter of their property. However, Tan Weili considered the fact that he did not have the ability to kill Set directly. If he really raised the punishment of triggering a sandstorm to the death penalty, this law would become meaningless to the God of War and Power. This lowered the punishment for triggering the sandstorm! When Tan Weili¡¯s oasis protection act was announced, the fake Set¡¯s power was quickly drawn over by Tan Weili. After so much divine power was extracted, the fake Set¡¯s body began to turn into something like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time! Upon seeing this, Isis, who was controlling the fake Set in the dark, decisively stopped the sandstorm before Tan Weili announced the punishment for the repeat offenders of destroying the oasis. Seeing that the sandstorm had stopped, Tan Weili naturally would not let go of this opportunity to attack. He flapped his wings and began to fly toward the fake Set at an extremely fast speed. His ten fingers had also become as sharp as an eagle¡¯s claws. It was as if he could penetrate Set¡¯s head with his sharp claws the moment they touched! However, the fake Set was obviously not an ordinary person. As a replica made by Isis, its power had also reached a terrifying level with the help of magic. Even if it could not match Set¡¯s main body, it could at least match 60 ¨C 70% of his strength! As a result, when Tan Weili rushed to the fake Set, the fake Set suddenly howled and punched him in the stomach. Under the tremendous force, Tan Weili felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed car and was sent flying Bang! Bang! Bang! Tan Weili, who had been sent flying by the fake Set, fell to the ground several times before he finally fell out of the training field. Tan Weili got up from the ground in a sorry state and said helplessly,¡±It seems that my strength is still much weaker than Set¡¯s! I have to say, as the God of Power, Set¡¯s close combat ability is quite terrifying.¡± ¡°It¡¯s definitely not a wise move to fight him in close combat!¡± Upon hearing this, Isis, who had erased the fake Set, said, ¡°Actually, you still have a chance of fighting Set. I also hope that you can develop in this direction¡­ After all, if Set realizes that you are weak in melee combat, he will not let go of the opportunity to defeat you!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Tan Weili was curious when he heard Isis. He asked, ¡°Do I still have a chance of fighting Set?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Isis used magic to get a glass of water for Tan Weili. She handed the cup to Tan Weili and said, ¡°Your authority for revenge can provide you with the ability to fight in close combat that is not inferior to Set¡¯s! As long as you can make your authority to take revenge to grow to a level as powerful as your royal power and the authority of law, it will be fine!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s face fell when he heard that. It wasn¡¯t easy to give birth to the power of revenge. If he were to follow the normal train of thought, if Tan Weili wanted to give birth to his authority for revenge, he would have to let the entire society be filled with a fanatical desire for revenge. However, Egypt under Tan Weili¡¯s rule was not Nazi, and there was no blood feud between him and the surrounding countries. What did he use to incite the people and make them fall into the fanatical desire for revenge? As for changing the mindset of the Egyptians through a long period of subtle influence, and then nourishing the power of revenge? It was too late! Tan Weili had a feeling that after his fight with Tefnut ended, the new order in Egypt would be completely consolidated. At that time, Set would have no chance of defeating him. Therefore, the final battle between Set and himself would definitely take place before the next summer¡¯s wheat harvest! He had to mature his authority over revenge before that! Chapter 37 - Magic Song and Disguise Chapter 37 Magic Song and Disguise After the collapse of Egypt¡¯s theocracy, conflicts were bound to break out between the secular royal power and the barbarian armed forces. Therefore, Horus and Set would definitely have a battle in their destiny. In order to prepare for the battle, Isis used her magic power to create an idol (icon) for her son, who had 70% of Set¡¯s power. Then, she simulated the battle. She wanted to find out if there were any problems during the battle between Tan Weili and Set. Now, however, the problem had been found, but Tan Weili was also in a difficult position. This was because time did not allow Tan Weili to develop his right to take revenge. But at this time, as the Goddess of Magic in Egyptian mythology, whose knowledge was second only to the Sun God Ra and the God of Wisdom, Thoth, Isis quickly pointed out another path for Tan Weili. ¡°You can complete a revenge between the gods and strengthen your authority to take revenge by creating a myth!¡± Revenge? Hearing Isis¡¯ suggestion, Tan Weili¡¯s expression became a little subtle. After all, the only enemy in front of him was the bearded man, Set. If he wanted to defeat Set, he had to take revenge on him. But if he wanted to take revenge on him, he had to defeat him first. This situation instantly caused Tan Weili to fall into an endless loop. Isis, who was standing beside him, could tell what Tan Weili was thinking. She chuckled and said to her son, ¡°You don¡¯t have to find Set first to take revenge.¡± ¡°There are so many evil gods in the Evernight Kingdom. Those gods are crazy and brutal. With a little guidance, isn¡¯t it easy to make them your enemy?¡± ¡°As long as you can complete your revenge, no matter who your target is, you can strengthen your authority to take revenge!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard Isis¡¯ suggestion. The evil gods living in the Evernight Kingdom were all crazy and violent. But there was no corresponding location in the Evernight Kingdom! The lack of a corresponding location meant that the evil gods here had very little contact with the human world. Therefore, even if they wanted to harm the human race, they had the heart but not the strength. Under such circumstances, Tan Weili was a little embarrassed to cause trouble for these evil gods. However, after some consideration, Tan Weili had an idea. ¡°Forget about the gods of the Evernight Kingdom. I still have a few enemies in other places.¡± ¡°But they¡¯re not in Egypt. I wonder if my revenge outside of Egypt can strengthen my authority?¡± Upon hearing her son¡¯s words, Isis narrowed her eyes subconsciously. She had long heard that her son had a human shaman who was even older than the gods behind him. So, when Isis heard that Tan Weili had enemies in other places, she didn¡¯t find it strange. She pondered for a moment and said, ¡°In theory, yes, but there is a premise, which is to make a small part of the civilization that you seek revenge on believe in you.¡± ¡°Oh? That¡¯s not a problem. It¡¯s not difficult to make the people of the local civilization believe in me.¡± As the creator of the belief in civilization, it was not difficult for Tan Weili to make the local people believe in him. However, in order to make the revenge operation more perfect, Tan Weili still asked Isis,¡±Mother, do you have any magic tools that can change my appearance at will?¡± ¡°A magic tool to change one¡¯s appearance?¡± ¡°Of course there is,¡± Isis laughed. ¡°But what do you want to do with it?¡± What was he doing? Tan Weili laughed. ¡°I want to make it so that my enemies don¡¯t know me so that they will let down their guard. I want to slowly win their trust.¡± ¡°Then, change into my true appearance and stab them in the back!¡± ¡°I think, when those guys who were stabbed in the back by me ask me why I did it with a shocked face, I¡¯ll reveal my identity. They¡¯ll definitely be shocked!¡± Isis laughed when she heard her son¡¯s bad taste. She didn¡¯t expect her child to have such an interesting idea. With some affection, Isis brought Tan Weili to her magic workshop. She took out a piece of papyrus from a box in the magic workshop. On the papyrus paper, a folk song was recorded in Egypt¡¯s divine script. After handing the papyrus to Tan Weili, Isis said, ¡°This is a magic song. When you sing it, you will be able to change your appearance according to your own thoughts.¡± Magic song? Looking at the papyrus, Tan Weili suddenly remembered that in Egyptian mythology, Isis seemed to have changed her appearance by singing and got along with Set as a stranger. Step by step, she induced Set to admit that he had killed his brother in front of Sun God Ra. He did not expect Isis to teach him this magic song After quickly memorizing the contents of the magic song, Tan Weili returned the papyrus to Isis. Then, he started to sing and changed his appearance with his will. After a short while, the eagle-headed human figure that originally belonged to Horus underwent a drastic change. Looking at her son¡¯s new appearance, Isis could not help but laugh. Because of this, Tan Weili¡¯s appearance had changed from Horus with an eagle¡¯s head and a human body to a jackal¡¯s head and human body. That expression, that mannerism, it was exactly the same as Set¡¯s! Tan Weili was full of schemes. He was worried that if he went to his enemy¡¯s place to cause trouble, he would accidentally screw up. At that time, even if he escaped, it was hard to guarantee that his enemies would not seek revenge. Therefore, he decisively changed into Set¡¯s appearance. In this way, even if he failed in his revenge and escaped back to Egypt, when the other party came to Egypt, they would still give Set trouble first! Chapter 38 - Meeting the English Gods Again Chapter 38 Meeting the English Gods Again After learning the disguising magic from Isis, Tan Weili told Isis about Egypt¡¯s policies for the next six months. From Tan Weili¡¯s point of view, the journey to get revenge would be long. It would take at least three to five days to more than half a year from the time he set out to the time he returned. The time was uncertain. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Isis take over Egypt in his place. After handing over the government affairs, Tan Weili spread his wings and flew into the sky. His human body also floated up under the influence of the divinity. Using divinity to affect one¡¯s body in the human world was one of the few methods that gods could use to directly interfere with the human world! After he flew into the sky, Tan Weili roughly determined the direction and flew northwest. After three days of flying, Tan Weili passed through the Mediterranean Sea, landed on the peninsula from Sicily, crossed the Alps, and traveled along the German-French border area. Finally, he landed in the English area of the island of Great Britain. ¡°England. The last time I was here was in my previous life.¡± Tan Weili sighed as he looked at the damp and cold island that was nourished by the temperate ocean climate. His words were similar to Arthas¡¯ when he returned to Northrend from Lordaeron. The only difference was that Arthas had transformed from a human to a death knight, and Arthas was still the same Arthas. Tan Weili, on the other hand, had truly gone through a round of reincarnation! In this life, when Tan Weili had just woken up, he had heard from the system that the current English civilization, under the rule of the gods, had stopped at the early theocracy of the Ancient Era. Unless the Celts, Goths, Vikings, or Anglo-Saxonans landed on Great Britain and used violence to break the current situation, the rule of theocracy would last forever on this sealed Island. Sure enough, when Tan Weili came to England and conducted a series of investigations, he found that the entire island of Great Britain was controlled by hundreds of city-states of all sizes. The political structure was a little similar to Greece before the Alexander Empire. However, although there was no lack of civilizations that had lasted for 8000 years among these city-states, they were still stuck in the early ancient times. The level of their civilization was not much different from that of Egypt, which had just been born a few hundred years ago. The development of civilization was the most important internal gift of human beings. If they lost this gift, humans would be no different from wild beasts. Therefore, from Tan Weili¡¯s point of view, his descendants had lived for 8000 years under the gods¡¯ suppression, but they had not grown. Such days were like livestock raised by the gods! After realizing this, Tan Weili was even more determined to find the gods and take revenge. This was not only for his own revenge, but also to free the humans of the English civilization! Just as Tan Weili was lamenting the stagnation of English civilization for 8000 years, the English gods, whose faith covered hundreds of city-states on the island, also sensed the arrival of this foreign god. Apart from the English civilization that Tan Weili had given birth to and the Mesopotamian civilization, the Egyptian civilization was the first to enter the Classical Era. Therefore, in the long memories of the gods on the island of Great Britain, except for the natural spirits that the barbarians on the other side of the English channel believed in, they had never seen a god from the same classical civilization! So, out of curiosity and vigilance, these gods left their temples without hesitation and moved closer to Tan Weili. Just as Tan Weili stood there and sighed, the gods had surrounded him. ¡°Tell us your identity, unfamiliar god!¡± ¡°Me?¡± Looking at these ¡®old friends,¡¯ Tan Weili smiled and looked very elegant. At this moment, he had already retracted his eagle wings. He had the head of a jackal and the body of a human. His appearance was no different from Set. So, he introduced himself to the gods, ¡°Call me Set! I am a god from a distant civilization on the other side of the sea.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to find an existence on the same level as our civilization and form an alliance with them!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you guys going to introduce yourselves?¡± Upon hearing this, the English gods immediately reacted. They introduced themselves to Tan Weili. ¡°I¡¯m the God of Thunder and Lightning!¡± ¡°I am the God of Agriculture and Astrology!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the God of War!¡± ¡°I am the God of Frost and Death!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the God of Fertility!¡± Tsk! Since Tan Weili had no concept of time after his death, he could sense that the last time he heard these guys introduce themselves was only a month ago. However, he knew that these English gods had already lived for 8000 years! But after 8000 years, these gods were still the same as 8000 years ago. This meant that the development of the English civilization had indeed stagnated! In that case, these people who had ruled over the British Isles for eight thousand years were truly sinful! Chapter 39 - The Images of the English Gods Chapter 39 The Images of the English Gods Of course, when Tan Weili said that the gods had not changed, he only meant that the configuration of the gods had not changed. These gods were still the gods he knew. Their authority was still the same as before. But no matter how the gods suppressed it, human society would always develop. Therefore, Tan Weili noticed many changes in his ¡®old friends.¡¯ The first was the God of Fertility. Tan Weili remembered that the first time he met this guy, they were just a normal pregnant woman with plump breasts and buttocks. But now, this fellow¡¯s breasts had expanded to the size of two to three basketballs, and they drooped down to their waist. Their male reproductive organs and hips had also become very large, hanging down to the ground. Their pregnant belly was as big as a small mountain. That strange appearance was already close to the Great Old One of Cthulhu¡¯s myths! In the history of mankind, there had been countless human civilizations who had worshipped this God of Fertility, an idol (or icon) with exaggerated sexual characteristics. This was a classic way for humans to express their worship of reproduction! After human civilization had slightly matured, this primitive and exaggerated worship of reproduction had quickly disappeared. However, after 8000 years of development, the worship of reproduction for the God of Fertility had not been curbed in the British Isles. Instead, it had become more and more morbid. From this point of view, the Divine Realm of the people living in English civilization was very empty! After the God of Fertility, the God of War changed the most. Although the God of War still had the appearance of a strong man, the scar on his face had disappeared. What replaced it was a gentle and elegant aura. It wouldn¡¯t be strange if it was another god who was gentle and elegant. However, the God of War was gentle and elegant, which meant that the development of the English civilization was not good. In addition, Tan Weili also obtained many details from the English God of War through theology, history, and anthropology. He noticed that the God of War had appeared on a chariot pulled by sixteen large dogs. A dog pulling a chariot was nothing. After all, the taming of horses was actually quite late in the history of human civilization. As for the close relatives of horses, donkeys were tamed slightly earlier. In the 30th century BC, humans had already completed the work of taming donkeys. However, the domestic donkey was still in North Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia. That was why there was no trace of domestic donkeys in Mesopotamia, let alone England! The humans of the English civilization did not have horses or donkeys, but if they wanted to drive the strongest army of human civilization on the plains in the ancient times, they would naturally need other animal power. Large dogs were naturally their best choice! In Tan Weili¡¯s opinion, there was no problem for the English God of War to drive a dog-drawn chariot. However, Tan Weili noticed that there were two weapons hanging on the war chariot. One of them was a bronze saber that was stained with blood. The other one was a rusty mace. Seeing this detail, Tan Weili instantly read the corresponding development of English civilization. Bronze sabers were sharp weapons used to deal with armored units. And in the ancient times, what kind of people did not wear armor on the battlefield? They were civilians! They were slaves! The spiked club was a blunt weapon used to break armor. And in the ancient era, who was the one wearing armor on the battlefield? They were nobles! It was the overlord! Therefore, the meaning of the blood-stained bronze saber and the rusty mace was obvious! This meant that in the perspective of the English civilization, war had developed into a game between the nobles, as well as a means to systematically clean up the civilians and slave rebellions! As for the God of Thunder and Lightning, the God of Agriculture and Astrology, and the God of Frost and Death also had the same characteristics that were formed due to the stagnation of human civilization. These gods had already written a summary report on the 8000 years of history of English civilization for Tan Weili, using their own body images! In contrast, although there was no lack of images of human bodies and beast heads among the Egyptian gods, at least they did not have such strange and distorted characteristics of mutation. That was enough to show that Egypt was a healthier civilization than England! As Tan Weili observed the English gods, the English gods were also observing him. Due to the reincarnation of the system, Tan Weili¡¯s transformation was too thorough. Therefore, the English gods did not realize that the god in front of them was actually the human shaman they had killed in front of Stonehenge 8000 years ago. The heads of two children, one male and one female, hung on his chest, and the heads of two adults, one male and one female, hung on his waist. He also held a skull scepter in his hand, symbolizing the absolute dominance of the family¡¯s elders over the descendants under the worship of the ancestors. ¡°Foreign god, why should we cooperate with you? What benefits can you bring us?¡± Tan Weili laughed.¡±Benefits? Of course, I can bring you benefits. In the process of civilization development, are the experiences, lessons, and knowledge summed up by the gods considered as benefits?¡± ¡°Knowledge?¡± Upon hearing this, the God of Frost and Death sneered.¡±This is not something good!¡± Chapter 40 - Return Chapter 40 Return 8,000 years ago, the God of Frost and Death¡¯s image was that of a terrifying god hidden in black mist. The reason why it had such an image was because of the Younger Dryas Event that had a major impact on human civilization. Due to the meteorite had hit the American Continent, setting off dust that covered the sky, causing vegetation to wither and animals to decrease. Famine and death had begun to spread across the land. Therefore, human civilization at that time generally regarded the dust that covered the sun as one of the characteristics of death. However, when the time came to the 28th century, the dust caused by the meteorite impact on earth had disappeared from the collective body of human civilization, and the God of Frost and Death had naturally removed the layer of black dust. The current God of Frost and Death was a fat man who was wearing clothes inlaid with gold and gemstones and holding roasted meat in his hand. He was eating as he walked. Just by looking at its image, Tan Weili could imagine what kind of beautiful and rich post-death world the English gods had promised to the humans living in this civilized world. The moment the God of Frost and Death¡¯s voice faded, the last god of the English gods, the God of Agriculture and Astrology, spoke. He was the one who had changed the least among the five gods of England. Other than his more exquisite appearance and more gorgeous clothes, there were not many changes. However, the changes in the field of agriculture were part of the progress of science. It was unlikely that there would be too vicious of a change in this field. Therefore, the fact that there were no changes to the God of Agriculture and Astrology was the worst result. The god said to the God of Frost and Death in a rather harsh tone, ¡°Knowledge is actually a good thing. It¡¯s of great help to us¡­ Just be careful not to let this knowledge fall into the hands of ordinary people!¡± ¡°Alright then!¡± Hearing the God of Agriculture and Astrology¡¯s words, the God of Frost and Death did not refute. He looked at Tan Weili and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, unfamiliar god from afar, do you have any knowledge you can give us?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Tan Weili could feel the arrogance of these gods. But he didn¡¯t care. He only cared about one thing, whether these gods would fall into his trap! He said to the English gods, ¡°Our civilization was once attacked by the barbarians, which led to the subversion of the order of theocracy we built.¡± ¡°In this crisis, the power of the secular world has also begun to covet the power of us gods.¡± ¡°I wonder if any of you are interested in this knowledge?¡± The order of theocracy was subverted because of the attack of the barbarians? After hearing Tan Weili¡¯s introduction, the faces of the English gods suddenly showed a look of shock. Maintaining the status quo and allowing the gods¡¯ rule to last forever was the core appeal of these gods. If there was any existence that could overturn the order they had built, they would definitely not let it go. After realizing that the knowledge brought by Tan Weili was of great significance to their rule, these gods no longer dared to neglect Tan Weili. The God of Thunder and Lightning said, ¡°Your Excellency, the knowledge you brought is very important! If it¡¯s possible, I hope to be able to share the ruling wisdom of the civilization you belong to.¡± Tan Weili laughed. He said to the English gods, ¡°I¡¯ve come a long way and am tired. Are you going to let me pass on my knowledge to you? At least let me spread my faith in your civilization, okay?¡± Tan Weili¡¯s tone when he talked about spreading faith was as if he was asking for a glass of water. And that was the truth. Under the careful cultivation of these gods, the English civilization did not have much room for new gods to participate. Therefore, even if they allowed Tan Weili to spread his faith, he would not get many followers. So, the God of Thunder and Lightning asked Tan Weili, ¡°Your Excellency, may I know what authority you hold?¡± ¡°Law, revenge, and order.¡± Tan Weili answered with a smile, hiding the power of royalty that could threaten these gods. Law, revenge, and order¡­ Upon hearing this, the gods whispered to each other and exchanged their opinions. They came to the conclusion that Tan Weili would not be a threat to them. So, they agreed to let Tan Weili spread his faith in England on a small scale to restore the power consumed by the long journey. Tan Weili did as they wished and only spread Horus¡¯ faith in a small area in England. However, this small range was a little subtle. Because this small range was not a small range of regional territory, but a small range of class. The people he spread his faith to were, without exception, the aristocrats who were born at the top of English society and held secular rule and military power. In the process of spreading his faith, Tan Weili also instilled a concept into them: ¡®It¡¯s enough to only accept the rule of humans. Why should we accept the rule of gods? If we could overthrow the gods, we would monopolize the power!¡¯ When Tan Weili planted the seeds of desire for power in these people¡¯s hearts, greed began to water them. The seeds of desire sprouted quickly and spread like weeds, occupying the hearts of these secular lords. Under the turmoil in their hearts, these lords began to do things to subvert the current order. This phenomenon was also noticed by the English gods a month after Horus¡¯ faith spread. It was only then that the English gods realized that this god from a foreign land had the power of royalty in addition to law, order, and revenge! The English gods were dumbfounded. They had never thought that this foreign god would have such a dangerous authority. After a brief moment of panic, they made a decision to resentfully kill this God of Royalty from a foreign land! Soon, they found Tan Weili, who had been waiting for a long time, at the giant stone formation in Salisbury. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this, I didn¡¯t expect this! We only relaxed for a moment and let a seemingly insignificant worm in, and he has eroded such a huge loophole in our civilization order!¡± ¡°Set!¡± they cried. The English gods did not even know Tan Weili¡¯s identity. The God of Thunder and Lightning said, ¡°Today, we will definitely kill you, the parasite and thief who stole the fruits of our civilization!¡± ¡°Steal the fruits of civilization?¡± Tan Weili couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he heard that. He looked around at the gods present and said, ¡°In my opinion, you are the parasites that steal the achievements of other people¡¯s civilizations! You¡¯ve caused the civilization here to stagnate, and yet you can still stand in front of me and accuse me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing Tan Weili¡¯s words, God of War roared, ¡°Since the birth of this civilization, we¡¯ve been living with the humans here. We¡¯ve guided them to develop step by step, let them build their own city, perfect the calendar and text, let them have a stronger military than the surrounding barbarians, guide them to farm at the right time, and even let their souls rest in peace after they die. You¡¯re actually saying that we¡¯re parasites that steal this civilization? You must be joking!¡± Tan Weili¡¯s smile became even brighter when he saw how flustered and exasperated God of War was. He said sarcastically, ¡°This civilization is yours? If that¡¯s the case, why did you explain so much?¡± ¡°Just admit it! Even without you, the civilization here can still develop into a brilliant one!¡± After a pause, he continued, ¡°8000 years ago, you took the civilization that a human shaman had created from his own hands. Why don¡¯t you dare to admit it?¡± ¡°Could it be that you all also know that this is wrong? Is that why you don¡¯t dare to mention that matter because of your sense of shame?¡± ¡°What?¡± When the English gods heard the two keywords ¡®8000 years ago¡¯ and ¡®human shaman,¡¯ their faces suddenly showed horror. ¡°You¡­ Who the h*ll are you? It¡¯s been 8000 years! Why would anyone still know about this?¡± The God of Thunder and Lightning stepped back and asked Tan Weili in a trembling voice. ¡°Hahahaha! Hahahaha!¡± Tan Weili suddenly laughed wildly when he heard the question of the God of Thunder and Lightning However, his eyes were burning with a raging fire. ¡°Very good! You¡¯re actually asking me who I am?¡± Looking at these gods, Tan Weili sneered. At the same time, a holy chant reverberated within the huge stone formation. As the song spread, the jackal head that Tan Weili used to disguise himself as smiled quickly. When the fake mask disappeared, the English gods were shocked to see the face of an ancient and weathered shaman. It was also in the same stone formation, surrounded by the five gods, and the shaman was in the center of the stone formation. Even after 7960 years, the English gods still remembered that on the day of the tribe¡¯s revelry, they had killed the shaman here and taken over the shaman¡¯s civilization. And now¡­ That shaman had returned for revenge!
