324. The magic box opens again
The story of Prometheus resembles Amon's experience in many ways, so Amon has a deep feeling for that play. The story ends with Prometheus being chained to the Caucasus by order of Zeus, spending thirteen generations in the world, and later being rescued by a passing Hercules. But Zeus still asked Prometheus to wear an iron ring with a stone locked on the Caucasus Mountain, symbolizing that he was still imprisoned by Zeus, so that the father of the gods could save some face.
Drama naturally has all kinds of interpretation and processing in the world, and the details cannot be compared. But Amon didn't expect that the Pythagoras he saw today was wearing such an iron ring on his hand, and he instantly remembered the story of Prometheus.
Pythagoras waved his hand and said noncommittally, "Let's sit down and talk...... I broke the chains and got the world. Here I am Pythagoras. ”
There was also a method similar to "Immortal Family's Witty Words" in his voice, which was the first time Amon had met someone to exert such a "magical power" after seeing Jumang. The sage did not deny his origins, and calmly told Amon what had happened, thinking that he was indeed the god named Prometheus.
Prometheus clashed with Zeus, not before the war of the gods, but after Zeus became the lord of the kingdom of heaven. Of all the ancient gods of Olympus, apart from the original god Unos, Prometheus is the most promising to become another creator god, and if that is the case, according to the tradition of the ancient gods, he will break away from the gods and start another god.
But Prometheus didn't do that, just as Amun had witnessed Anu and Allah, Prometheus had also witnessed the achievements of the creator god Unos, and he didn't want to be that kind of god and create that kind of god, but he wanted something else. It was at this time that Zeus launched the War of the Gods, which fused the kingdom of Unos and created the kingdom of Olympus.
The conflict between Prometheus and Zeus erupted, just as the conflict between Marduk and Enril broke out after the Anuna Revelation of the Gods. Prometheus was defeated in this conflict, imprisoned by Zeus, and later broke free from his chains. Prometheus, who was freed from difficulties, has traveled to many places in the world, traveled to the Tianshu Continent, and also visited Eju.
In addition, Prometheus's footsteps have gone further, and he has also traveled to Kunlun and Tianzhu. The sentence and true water that Amon once encountered came from Kunlun, and Tianzhu was the place where the immeasurable light spread the Dharma.
In a sense, Prometheus is the re-entry into reincarnation with the Buddha-figure Dharmakaya as Jumang said, and in this way he broke free from the shackles of Zeus, went through a total of thirteen lifetimes in the human world, experienced verification in various places, and returned to the Heaton Peninsula after the fulfillment of his ambition in this life, and his identity was Pythagoras.
If Pythagoras had not awakened all the traces of his soul in the past, he would have been a new mortal, and Zeus would not have said anything to him. But Pythagoras appeared in the Olympian realm like this, and it was not clear whether he was a god or a mortal, so Zeus found him again. There was a new negotiation between the two, and as a result, Zeus allowed Pythagoras to establish the estate, and the Olympian gods and gods were not allowed to enter it.
This is equivalent to a different world in the Olympian Domain, and today another Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom, Amun, has broken into here.
Hearing these words, Amon realized that the Pythagoras in front of him had the flesh and blood of a mortal, but with the soul imprints and cultivation of the gods, it was actually an existence that he had never encountered before. This is what Prometheus sought in the world, and what he pursued should also be the Lord of Heaven, Golden Immortals, Bodhisattvas and the like.
Amon asked a little puzzled, "Mr. Pythagoras, what was your disagreement with Zeus at the beginning? Since you are unwilling to become another creator god, and you have not left the Olympian god line, why did you have a conflict with Zeus?"
Pythagoras smiled and replied, "My disagreement with Zeus is the same as your disagreement with Zeus. The difference is that I am the god of Olympus and you are not. ”
In the witty remarks, Pythagoras explained the cause of the conflict with Zeus, which was the story of the "tinder" in the play. Although Zeus surpassed the achievements of the creator god and verified the lord of the kingdom of heaven, some traditions were still preserved, and he made a pact with other gods to keep the secrets of the gods in the hands of the gods.
The guidance of the Source Power is not open to the public, not even to the priests of the temple who represent the gods. But this does not mean that new gods will not appear, and the gods will choose the right people in the human world and direct the power of the Source to make them oracles. On the other hand, there have been unborn geniuses in the human world, such as Marduk and Amun, who have not accepted the guidance of the gods and comprehended the power of the source on their own to transcend eternal life.
After Malduk transcended immortality, he joined the Anunnaqi God Line, but eventually broke away from the God System and created the Freedom Heaven World. And Amun fused the Anuna Enlightenment Kingdom and the Nine Divine Kingdoms to create his own angelic kingdom.
Prometheus had a disagreement with Zeus shortly after Marduk's transcendence from immortality. He believed that the secrets of the Origin Power should be made known to the world, at least by the priests who represented the gods on earth. This also means that mortals embark on the path of transcendence and eternal life, not only passively receiving guidance, but also becoming an active yearning pursuit.
In fact, for the believers in the world, even if they know that mortals can transcend eternal life, the hope of embarking on this path is slim. First of all, they must be awakened to the power of the origin, and go through the test step by step to cultivate to the end of the human realm, and the vast majority of people will not succeed in the first step. Those who are fortunate enough to embark on this path must also have the guidance of a teacher, and the best teacher is, of course, the gods.
Although this transformation is not great on the surface, the quality of the surname is different, and transcendent immortality is no longer a secret that belongs only to the gods. The most important significance lies in two points, the first is the declaration that mortals can become gods, and the second is that it leaves hope in the world, no matter how slim this possibility may be.
The story of Pandora in the play "Prometheus", the disasters that fly out of the magic box, symbolize the indetachable side of the human surname. And at the bottom of the box, there is one thing left, which is "hope".
The conflict between Zeus and Prometheus was born, and Zeus believed that it was the power of the gods to guide who had attained the secret of transcendent eternal life, and that mortals were only eligible for such guidance if they had the approval of the gods. Prometheus believes that the gods do not lose this power, and that there are very few people who can explore the power of the source on their own and transcend eternal life, and that mortals still need the guidance of the gods, but they should be made aware of this fact and have this hope, and they will be more grateful to the gods when they are guided.
Zeus, on the other hand, insisted that the gods did not need this gratitude, and that it was determined by oaths since ancient times. Only when a mortal has made his own contribution and proved that he has such potential will he be fortunate enough to be guided by the gods.
According to human legend, Pandora's box was closed, and the bottom thing did not fly out, implying that Prometheus had lost this conflict. And the so-called Prometheus was bound by the chains of Zeus, which actually symbolized that he must not fulfill his vow and must continue to abide by the oath of the Olympian god line.
At that time, Prometheus once said: "Father of the gods, Lord of the kingdom of heaven, although you insist on your will, people will explore the power of the Source on their own." The path exists, and you may have a secret with the gods, but the path does not belong to you. You wait, there will be such a god appearing and coming to you!"
And the opportunity for Prometheus to get out of trouble was precisely because of the fulfillment of this prophecy.
Zeus incarnated throughout the ages, and left behind a son named Hercules. Hera, the wife of Zeus, did not like Hercules very much, so Hercules did not receive the guidance of the Origin Power to become an oracle. But his qualifications are outstanding, much like Enqidu, the former No. 1 warrior in the Tianshu Continent, and he has also become an invincible ninth-level great warrior, and he actually came to the end of such a path and ushered in the final test.
Luckily for Herakles, he passed the test and became a god. Just as Hercules entered the kingdom of Olympus, Prometheus' prophecy confirmed that his vow had become a true aspiration, and he went out of trouble, and the Buddha-figure went through the thirteenth reincarnation here, and finally became Pythagoras here, and established such a manor.
Hearing this, Amon knew that in addition to him and Marduk, there was another person in the past thousand years who had faced the final test without the guidance of the gods. But the situation of Hercules was different, he had always believed in the Olympian gods, and after transcending immortality, he did not get lost in the immortal eternity, but went directly to the Olympian heaven.
The appearance of the god Hercules confirms Prometheus' words that as long as there is hope and faith, people can also be guided by the kingdom of heaven. Because of this, Zeus couldn't restrain him, and Prometheus ushered in the opportunity of "calamity".
Amon was very interested and asked, "Mr. Pythagoras, the Buddha-figure Dharma Body has re-entered reincarnation, and I have heard a detailed explanation from an immortal family from Kunlun. To verify the Lord of Heaven and the genus of the Golden Immortal, I must go through the Heavenly Tribulation, and I was lucky to pass it unconsciously. And the tribulation you are talking about should be the Transfiguration Tribulation. You have re-entered the reincarnation with the deity Dharma body, and the you I see at this moment have awakened the soul imprint of the gods, so you should have successfully experienced the tribulation, how can you still be mortal flesh and blood?"
Pythagoras smiled and said, "If I wanted to be the creator god, I would already be the creator god, but now if I want to be the lord of heaven, I can create the kingdom of heaven and become the lord of heaven." But what people can do, they may not necessarily do, and I have a pact with Zeus that I don't intend to want to break away from the Olympian gods. So whether or not I return to heaven now depends not only on me, but also on Zeus. It's still unknown who will win and who will lose between us!"
These words are very subtle, and it is difficult to express them exactly. For example, if there was a house that sold for two Divine Stones, Amon could have bought it, but he didn't have to. He didn't have to prove that he could be the owner of a house in this way, but if he didn't buy it, he wouldn't be the owner of that house.
As for who wins and who loses between Prometheus and Zeus, it is indeed an unknown variable. If Pythagoras returns to the kingdom of God to restore the identity of Prometheus and create his own kingdom of heaven, will Zeus's Olympus kingdom be able to merge it? If so, it means that Zeus has found the true realm of gods. But Zeus is still in the process of verification, and he is not sure that he can do it, but he must take this step to complete the final verification.
Amon also smiled and said, "You are right, in fact, we are very similar in many ways, but the experience of transcending immortality is different. ”
There were also witty words in his words, their experience of transcending immortality was indeed different, Prometheus was guided by the ancient Olympian gods, and Amon was exploring the power of the origin on his own and cultivating it to the end, which was extremely difficult. But the vows of the two are the same, Amon has done what Prometheus once wanted to do.
Amun sent down an oracle for the last time as the god of Eju, revealing the power of his origin to the priests of the temples who sacrificed to him. Although it is not easy to awaken this power, and it is even more difficult to cultivate to the end, the vast majority of people still need the guidance of angels in order to achieve success. But Amun told people the fact that human surnames contain god surnames, and mortals can transcend immortality and become beings like legendary gods. For those who believe in Amun, it is to become an angel in the kingdom of heaven, which is something that the ancient god system on the Tianshu continent has never done.
Pythagoras said, "Actually, I'm doing the same thing, but in a different way." Not in the name of the gods, but in the capacity of Pythagoras, I built this estate, this group, this is this attempt. ”
For Pythagoras to form this particular group, the members had to be examined and tested. He told his disciples that souls can be immortal and mortals can live forever. Everything we see is not only in the process of constant birth and death, but also in the immortal connotation of immortality and doom, and what is changed is only the transformation of the mode of existence, and eternity is in it.
That's why people can create, and to create things around them is to create the world in the soul, such as burning clay into bricks, sowing seeds and harvesting grain, and playing music on the strings. It is precisely because of this creation that people can understand the world and the eternal existence behind everything.
Amon was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically, "What you told your disciples not only contains the source of the original power, but also contains the principle of creating the kingdom of heaven in the eternal immortality, which shows that you already have the realm of the lord of the kingdom of heaven. I'm just curious why Zeus would allow such a manor to exist so close to Riddlefish, and why did he come to a new compromise with you?"
Pythagoras raised his left arm, rolled up his sleeve, pointed to the hoop on his arm, and said, "Do you see this? When I awakened the soul sigil to fulfill my wish, I put it on, just like the legends you have heard in the world." It symbolizes my past aspirations and origins. I can create a kingdom of heaven whenever I want, but I'm still an Olympian god. I promised Zeus that he could try to merge my heavenly kingdom, and then the heavenly kingdom of Olympus would have a whole new meaning. ”
Amon nodded: "I see, you are indeed qualified to negotiate with him!, but I am still curious, if he really merges with the heavenly kingdom you created, according to the Kunlun Immortal Family, the world of Zeus can be called an immortal realm, then there will be a place similar to Pythagoras Manor in the Olympian Heavenly Kingdom." How did you convince him, and why would he want to have such a fairy world?"
Amon's words may be incomprehensible, but to be able to merge with another heavenly kingdom, to make the spirit world he created more inclusive, and to establish an unshakable status as a god of the gods, what else would Zeus not want?
The main reason is also that the disagreement between Zeus and Prometheus in the past, and the integration of another heavenly kingdom is not a simple annexation as understood by mortals, but the inclusion of soul imprints and spiritual knowledge. It was impossible to do so if there was a difference in faith, but Pythagoras had no intention of giving in. Therefore, if Zeus wants to merge with the kingdom of heaven created by Prometheus, he must also accept this, approve of Pythagoras's approach, and openly transcend the path of eternal life on earth.
Pythagoras replied with a smile: "I have traveled all over the world with Zeus, I have asked the same question to different people, and there are too many people who can't answer it, and in the end Zeus gave the answer. ”
Amon was very interested and asked, "What's the problem?"
Pythagoras said quietly, "What is there in this world that I have given to you and I have not lost?"
Amon couldn't help but laugh out loud: "There are things in the world that are precious, and once they are given to others, they no longer belong to you, such as wealth or power. There are also things that are hard to come by, such as outstanding talents, delicate faces, which belong only to you but cannot be given to others. But when you learn and receive knowledge from others, the person who taught you will not lose that knowledge. In fact, the road under your feet and the truth of the world, it does not belong to you, it belongs to you only the perception of it. ”
Pythagoras also laughed and said, "Yes, the answer is so, and when Zeus himself answered this question, he made a new agreement with me, and I set up this manor and carried out my attempts." We agreed on two scenarios, and in either case, I would return to Olympus to resume Prometheus' identity. At that time, Zeus will be going to merge with the kingdom of heaven that I have created, and it may be the kingdom of Olympus that I have fused with him. ”
