Chapter 15: The Great Flood of Destruction
"In seven days, God made all things in only seven days!"
Gilgamesh was stunned, prostrate and laughing, laughing with tears and hysterical laughter.
For a moment, he felt as if he heard something shatter in his heart.
It was the sound of heartbreak, his solitude and rebelliousness, shattered on his deathbed.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart.
"Seven days—" He completely blurred his consciousness in laughter, and the three questions in front of him made him trance, as if he remembered the first question he had ever asked about this giant when he stood in the palm of his hand when he was a child.
"What is civilization?"
.....
"Civilization is the fire, civilization is knowledge, civilization is order, and civilization is also the strongest force that wisdom uses to protect itself. ”
.....
"Civilization is the power that we, the wise species, use to protect ourselves?"
.....
Hahahaha!!
He laughed, laughing louder and louder, his voice through the breeze and the hills, through the steep mountains and rushing rivers, the verdant forests swaying in the distance, the lush rice fields, and the endless vast grasslands.
Crash!
In the grassland tribe, in the royal city, and in the mountains and forests, the people raised their heads silently.
In a trance, they looked at the sky in a complicated way, as if they had heard the twilight of this Sumerian king, and countless people wept and wailed, singing unknown Sumerian lamentation ballads, lamenting the fall of the great king.
On this day, on the edge of the royal city of Uruk, a generation of great epic heroes, Gilgamesh, came to an end of life and became the dust of history.
Xu Zhi sighed and watched this hero king leave, "I never thought about fighting for anything, what you want, what you want to ask, I will answer you truthfully one by one, but, mine does not have a treasure for you to live forever, I am even on the verge of death, why are you suffering?"
"The king is dead!"
"Our king, the mightiest heroic king in history, Gilgamesh, wielding his sword at the God of Creation, is dead!!"
"We are defeated!"
Countless troops wailed and fled frantically.
Xu Zhi didn't choose to chase, after all, where could he escape to?
"Incredible! incredible..."
Standing on top of the towering walls of Uruk City, the historian Akkad watched his great hero king fall to his death, and when he heard the terrifying truth, he was drenched in a cold sweat, "I must.... I must, before I die, write everything down, and leave the truth about the world for posterity. ”
The historian trembled, his arm wet with dense sweat.
He had just written down the words that Gilgamesh was going to challenge the beast of wisdom, and then, with trembling hands, he let go of the next page in vain, and quickly wrote a new chapter.
The Book of Genesis, the Sumerian Death Chapter, records:
[The wisdom beast, actually the Lord of the Creator, Gilgamesh, was arrogant in his later years, vainly trying to swing his sword at the Lord and obtain eternal life with the blood of God, and finally angered the gods, who saw that the people on earth were extremely evil, and determined to destroy the Sumerian civilization, send down a great flood to destroy the world, and destroy all beings. 】
The sky is shaking.
The ground is wailing.
In the royal city of Uruk, the people on the earth were screaming and screaming, and there were people who collapsed at this moment, and finally laughed wildly, and turned into fanatics and knelt on the ground, praying in silence.
"God says, All men sin!"
"Repent!! God will sin on the crook of our arm and crush our backbone!"
"The Great Flood will destroy our world!"
In the anxious atmosphere, panic, trembling, panicking, boiling, people are all anxious.
At this time, a young man carrying a blood-soaked package and wearing a black turban came to the feet of Xu Paper, he opened the package and spread out his head, "The great wisdom beast, Enqidu, the king of the forest, pray for apology." ”
Xu Zhi was slightly stunned.
He had been surprised before that only two of the three kings came, and the king of the forest did not come.
Utanapizm knelt down and pleaded, lying on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "We Sumerians are not only barbarians, but our mentor Enqidu has already proved this with our own death, and we would rather resist the decree than wave the sword at the benefactor who gave us civilization, we are not all sinful, and when we ask God to send down divine punishment, we will also let the Sumerians leave the last ray of life." ”
Hearing this, Xu Shi sighed when he heard the righteous act of the forest king, in fact, he never thought that Gilgamesh would be so crazy.
They never intended to exterminate them, but they were too presumptuous and self-righteous.... But now such a crazy challenge and rudeness, tyranny and barbarism, after all, you have to pay a certain price for your actions,
"You take someone to build Noah's Ark out of a huge sacred tree, leave at least one pair of seeds for every creature in the world, and bring the righteous people of Enqidu Forest Giant City to board the ship, and I will immediately send a great flood to destroy the world. ”
Xu Paper turned and left.
There was tremor and excitement all around.
"We are defeated, not because the country is gone, but there is still a spark of hope left. ”
"Thank you for the mercy of the Creator. ”
"It's all because Enkidu, King of the Forest, has shown the Lord our kindness, that we are not savage, and that we still have salvation. ”
"Praise Enkidu!"
"Praise be to the great king of the forest!"
Akkad also wept with joy, looking at the back of the departing giant, excited, he waved his pen and ink, "Genesis" Sumerian Death Chapter:
[The benevolence of Enqidu, the king of the forest, moved the gods who were preparing to destroy the world, leaving a piece of life for the Sumerians who tried to rebel against the gods, and the gods ordered Utanapizm to build Noah's Ark to escape the great flood of destruction. 】
.....
Xu Paper returned to the yard and tidied up.
Looking for the high-pressure water gun that was placed in the corner of the farm and bought by Chen Xiya a while ago, he didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
At this moment, in the ten minutes that Xu Zhi had only been preparing the water gun, one hundred and twenty days had passed in the sand table, and countless people began to turn into accelerated afterimages, cut down the bonsai banyan tree that was left back then, and built a huge ark.
Then, the seeds of all living things, books, the cubs of the great beasts, everything, the species of the whole world, were condensed in the whole huge Noah's Ark.
"Fortunately, there are not many places, and the life is quite concentrated, and I started to clean. He walked into the sand table, lifted the high-pressure water gun more than ten meters away, and pushed it all the way through.
Rumble!
Snow-white, high-pressure water spurted towards the civilized area of the city-state in the orchard.
Stomp Tread!!
Large swaths of trees fell, the giant city collapsed in an instant, and countless beasts fled out of the forest, trying in vain to run through the monstrous white flood behind them, but they were finally submerged by the flood.
Heaven and earth seem to change color in an instant.
Snow white, vast.
"When God saw that man had sinned greatly on earth, a great flood came from heaven, and God destroyed all beings. ”
Utanapizm led the people to sit on the ark and looked at the sky in shock, and it was an extremely shocking scene, as if the fountains of the great abyss had cracked, and the windows of heaven were open.
Countless snow-white rushing streams of water poured down from the white clouds in the sky, washing the entire land.
Except for the ark, which was still suspended above the sea, the whole world was already immersed in the vast white splash.
