258, Amat's Great Prophecy
Anu flicked his fingers, the light and shadow on the chessboard changed, the Kingdom of Potz annexed Hati, Assyria, and Barun, and only the Eju Empire was left on the Tianshu Continent to confront Potz, and then shook his head and sighed: "Marduk defeated Anunnaqi, and the next thing to face is the Nine Divine System." If the situation continues like this, the Eju Empire will not be a match for Potze. Amon, do you see what's coming?"
Amon sighed with emotion: "Moving the whole body, going back to the future, the upheaval of the Tianshu Continent has been foreshadowed since the expedition of Pharaoh Lasis II of Eju. β
This history is also Amon's personal experience in the human world, which accompanied his upbringing. In a sense, if it weren't for the expedition launched by Lasis II, the Holy Maiden of Mary timely recommended Amun as the commander of the legion, giving him the opportunity to establish a meritorious career and save his people, and the god Amun would not have been able to achieve today.
That war laid the groundwork for the Eju Empire to turn from prosperity to decline, and Hati took the opportunity to escape the fate of submitting to Eju, and the appearance of Amon can be said to have turned the tide for the defeated Eju Empire. The real protagonists of that war were not the Ejupharaoh Lassis II and the Hatian king Lucill, but Amon and Gore, and perhaps Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
A lot of things happened after that, although Ge Lie made great achievements on the battlefield, but what he did was equivalent to preventing a larger-scale war among the countries of the Tianshu Continent. This was followed by the rise of the Assyrian Empire and the expansion of Sinach the Great not only to conquer Barun but also to annex the Duc Plain.
It can be clearly seen that Enriel is behind the scenes, and this god wants to use the ambition of Sinnah the Great to completely defeat Maldok and complete the unification of the Anunnaqi God Domain. But this plot was thwarted with the assassination of Sinach, and even Enril himself was eventually denied by Marduk. On the contrary, it was Maldok who used this as an opportunity to break through to higher achievements and break away from the Anuna Enlightenment system.
Sinakh's conquest not only indirectly contributed to the rapid rise of the Poz Kingdom, but also severely weakened the power of Barron and Assyria, which lost six city-states, and the Assyrian Empire, although strong for a time, overdrew its future power and planted the seeds of decline. In this series of changes, Ge Lie can always be seen turning the tide.
No matter how well Goreol did it, he failed in the end. This is not the defeat of Gelie, but the decline of the countries of the Tianshu Continent as a whole, and the only one who can still maintain its strength is Hati. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the Kingdom of Potz to seek the near and far, and it is not unreasonable to conquer Hati first, as soon as Hati is destroyed, the countries of the Tianshu Continent can no longer compete with Poz.
Anu pointed to the Eju Empire on the chessboard and shook his head, "I'm not talking about the beginning of the national war in the world, but about the wishes of the gods. If the three kingdoms of Hatt, Assyria, and Barons were destroyed, Potz would become an empire greater than ever, and Cyrus could do more than Sinach's ambitions. If you take advantage of the situation to march and defeat Eju, the Nine Divine Domains will also be annexed by Malduk, does this situation remind you of a legend?"
Amon frowned and said, "Could it be the legend of the god of the gods? When the plain of Duk becomes a fertile land again, the god of the gods will be born?"
Anu nodded, "Yes." β
What Enriel did, what Maldouk is doing now, and even Seth's ambitions back then, are more or less related to the legendary god of gods. And the competition between the countries of the Tianshu Continent also revolves around the Duk Plain, and the original purpose of the expedition launched by Lassis II was to seize the Duk Plain. The gods have the purpose of the gods, and the emperors and kingdoms of the world also have their own ambitions and **, either guided by the gods or in the name of the gods.
Amon was puzzled and asked, "Of course I've heard of this legend, but how did it first come down?"
Anu sighed: "This is a prophecy, a prophecy left by a god before her fall, she is the first god to be forced to behead herself since the founding of the gods of the Tianshu Continent, that is, Amat who was killed in the battle of the gods. β
Amon was slightly taken aback: "It turns out that this is Amat's last words! I don't know where it came from, even Mu Yun doesn't know." Amat's last words were not in vain, although she was forced to behead herself, but Enriel, the leader of the gods who persecuted her in the first place, can also be said to have been cut down by this prophecy after a thousand years. I just wonder if a transcendent deity would believe such a prophecy?"
Anu imprinted a message into Amun's soul as the words of Amat when he was forced to behead himself a thousand years ago, a desolate voice that echoed between heaven and earthβ"O gods before me, how ridiculous you are to turn this wilderness into a scorched wasteland, it symbolizes the departed gods, and it symbolizes your fate. You have captured the realm of the source of divine power, and you think that it is the victory of the gods, but such a god system will also be buried like the gods.
I am leaving today, when this wasteland is revitalized and becomes fertile again, the gods of the gods will come, and there will be no more gods like you in the Tianshu Continent. It's all over, I say goodbye to you, Enriel, my destiny today is your future. There is still an unknown achievement above that god, and the gods will cease to be gods. β
Anu relayed Amat's prophecy and sighed again: "It doesn't matter whether you believe or not believe in this prophecy, Amon, you are also a god, and the prophecy of the gods is not the word of a mortal. Amat is the first god to behead herself since there was a god in the Tianshu Continent, and I once gave her the Book of Heavenly Mandate, hoping that she could replace me as the lord of the kingdom of God.
Her achievements at that time were infinitely close to those of the Creation God, but she was thinking about whether she could seek a higher realm and surpass the achievements of the Creation God, and the War of the Gods broke out at this time, and she fell. Her prophecy only pointed out a path, the eventual changes and fate of the god system at that time, so the realization of this prophecy was not to prove the truth of what Amat said, but to verify the self-verification of the gods. β
Amun pondered, "Yes, no one knew what kind of realm and achievement was above the creator god, and how it could be verified? So the prophecy of the gods became a way, and Amat was at least right in one point, and indeed there was a higher achievement than the creation god, and now Zeus and Marduk have verified this." And looking at what Malduk did, he wanted to continue to seek the god of the gods in the prophecy. β
Anu looked at him and shook his head slightly: "Those who have sought to transcend the realm of the creation gods are now not only Zeus and Marduk, but also you, Amon!"
Amon smiled bitterly: "I have indeed broken through the achievements of the Creation God, but I am still in ignorance, and I still have many questions I want to ask you." I don't know about Malduk, but I haven't confirmed Zeus's achievements, and I've heard that he founded the kingdom of Olympus, not only merging with the world of the previous creator god, but now he often leaves the kingdom of God to wander around. β
Anu waved his hand and said, "Do you want to ask me for advice? I still want to ask you for advice! These are exactly what I am interested in, the Olympus heaven created by Zeus can merge with the god kingdom of the previous creator god, if anyone else can do it, it should be you." β
Amon shook his head and said, "I don't know if I can do it, at least not yet." β
Anu leaned forward and said, "How did you find a breakthrough and break through, can you tell me your secret?"
Amon smiled: "If someone else asks, I won't answer, firstly, because the accumulation and achievement realm in the soul have not yet arrived, and it is useless to answer, and secondly, because I don't need to tell irrelevant people." But if you open your mouth, I will not hold back, not only because I have been given the Mandate of Heaven, but also because you are a singer. β
He stretched out his hand to the center of Anu's brow, and the ancient creator god closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, as if experiencing and reminiscing about something, and a look of surprise and regret appeared on his face. I only heard Amun's voice and said: "The end of the world is the achievement of the creator god." If this is the case, this path is the end of the divine quest, and there is no higher realm. β
After a long time, Anu finally opened his eyes and said, "If it is the right path, the God of Creation is indeed the end." If there is a higher level of pursuit, it is a wrong fork in the road to verify the creation God. β
The meaning of this sentence is a bit complicated, the cultivation of the gods is similar to the cultivation of the human world in a sense, there may only be a few correct paths to eternal life in the human world, but there are countless wrong paths. After becoming a god, if it is guided by the existing god system, the creation god is the end of the god's fulfillment. But in Amon's eyes, it was a fork in the road, and it was impossible to move forward here.
If this is the case with the quest to become a god, then it doesn't matter if it's a fork in the road, and the quest of the creator god is seen as the right path, and then it's the end of the achievement, with the world and the god system that you have created.
The creator god has achieved more than the creator, and of course has to pay more, and the earliest An-la and Anu both had a vow to create the kingdom of God and guide the gods and establish a divine system, and they have verified this realm. Since the creation of the god system, there is a commitment and responsibility to give the gods a longing kingdom.
Anu muttered, "Is it that simple?
Amon nodded, "It's as simple as that, just a thought! Because of the difference in my vows, I have not surpassed you or Allah in my current achievements, but I have embarked on a different path, and I am still on the way to explore." β
Anu bowed his head and said to himself, "But I can't be wrong, because I am the pioneer, and I have sought to achieve something higher than the Creator, and there is no god who can guide me as it should be, and I have become the God of Creation." β
Amon reassured: "You finally understand today that this road has come to an end. If I hadn't witnessed a god like Anunnaqi, and had a different vow in my soul, I might have come to this point. β
Anu said abruptly: "I finally know the answer, the choice back then was only a thought, and it is impossible for me to make a new choice." It's like playing chess, the decision has been decided, and you can't regret the move!"
What are these two people talking about? I am afraid that ordinary gods would not understand. Through his own experience, Amun told Anu that if he wanted to pursue a higher realm than the creator god, he should not become the creator god he is now. Amun created the kingdom of God in the immortal eternity, and had already achieved the same achievement as Anu, but he did not have the vow to become such a creator god at all, so he simply gave up the kingdom of God.
Amun has witnessed the gods of today, and he also understands the pursuit of the gods and the achievements and realms they have reached, so he can have such a vow. But Anu was different back then, he was a pioneer, he broke through the achievements of the creator to become the creator god, and he didn't want to give up at all, and he didn't know that giving up was another way.
So both gods say "it's that simple". But is it really simple? You can have a world that you have created, guide the gods who are beyond immortality to establish the divine system and enjoy the divine kingdom forever, and with the growth of the divine system, the continuous integration of cultivation and knowledge, this divine kingdom will become more and more colorful, theoretically infinite growth, who can just give up and not even try?
What a firm vow and a strong soul can make! In terms of his current achievements, Amun has not surpassed Anu, but he has opened another door to continue to seek higher realms. As for whether it is an achievement like Zeus, it is not clear, there is no visible road in front of it, and the way out is the road.
Anu learned the answer from Amun, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I can't turn back. β
Amon shook his head: "There is no such thing as no turning back, when people say this, they are often weighing how big the price is, whether they can bear it or whether they are willing to bear it? β
Anu nodded and said, "Yes, this truth couldn't be simpler, give up the kingdom of God, and the creator god can leave." It can be done for you, you don't have the vow to create this kind of godship, you don't make that promise. If I make this vow to destroy the kingdom of Anunaqi, because the promise to create the divine system back then is also destroyed by myself, it is equivalent to beheading myself like Armat did. β
Amon also sighed, "Yes, you want to know the answer I asked, but you didn't expect it to be this kind of answer, right? If you make such a vow, it will be tantamount to the destruction of the Anunnaqi Kingdom and to self-fall." And you are now the lord of the Anunnaqi God Kingdom, the Anunnaqi God system is still there, the gods can continue to guide the gods, and the lost divine realm may be restored one day. β
Anu looked at Amon, gradually smiled again, and suddenly blinked his eyes and said, "Actually, I have another choice, but this choice must have your help, and my purpose for looking for you is also related to this." β
Amon: "Oh, how can I help you?"
Anu: "If one day you can verify a realm similar to Zeus, you can create your own world and merge with the Anuna Divine Kingdom, and retain and inherit all this, then the Anuna Divine Kingdom will still be there, but it will be integrated into your divine kingdom, and the gods will become angels who believe in the god Amun, and it will not be counted as I have broken my promise to create a divine system, and I can make a vow to re-verify it." β
Amon was slightly surprised: "You actually think so, but do you know how many conditions I have to meet even if I am willing to help you?"
Not to mention whether Amun is willing to help Anu, if he can really do this, then the conditions that need to be met are unimaginably complicated even for the gods to be counted - first, first of all, Amun must have this kind of achievement, and one day he must be able to do it.
Second, Anuna inspired the gods to be angels who received Amun's guidance.
Third, Amun must be able to give the gods guidance on another path to a higher realm.
Fourth, Anu must also have a breakthrough in achievement and make a vow to verify a certain realm, which Amon can't help. At least the current Anu can't do this, and even Amon doesn't know how Anu should cultivate the seal to take this step.
Anu said: "Of course I know that it is difficult to fulfill this wish, and it seems impossible to achieve it. But when you were a child in Duk Town, can you imagine that you will become the god Amun you are today? Before you became a god, you had already made different vows, so the fusion of the Anuna Kingdom could be completely included in your vow to move on.
I just wanted to ask and make a pact with you. When it becomes possible in the future, please merge my kingdom and help me continue to fulfill my promise to guide the gods to eternal kingdom. And you are not without gain, you are equivalent to enjoying and inheriting the kingdom of Anunaqi, and what I give up will also be what you will gain. β
Amun pondered, "Why do you want to do this, as the creator god does not have to be like this. β
This sentence is also very reasonable, in a sense, Anu's idea is completely unnecessary, the gods who live in the eternal kingdom of God, many people do not have the pursuit of a higher realm, even if they do, they have become the creator or the creator god, and have the eternal world created by the soul, is it necessary to pursue anything?
Even if Anu doesn't do anything, even if the God's domain in the human world is completely occupied by Malduk, and the Anunnaqi Kingdom is still there, Anu won't lose anything. In the long history of the rise and fall of the world, the kingdom of Pozzi cannot be so strong forever, and the people cannot always believe in Marduk as the main god, and there is hope for the restoration of the divine domain.
Anu has to give up everything he has and start all over again, Amon can only help him continue to fulfill his promise to the gods, and Anu himself has to risk his death, and even the path to verification is unknown, why bother?
Anu replied calmly, "Because my wish has been raised." This sentence broke through a thousand words, and Amon had nothing to say.
However, Anu asked Amun rhetorically: "If you want to know why I have this wish, this is a question that the creator god cannot answer, but you can ask yourself,ββ why did you have such a vow back then, not to become a creator god like me, not to establish a god system like Anunnaqi?"
Amon pointed to the chessboard on the stone table and replied, "I understand what you're thinking, it's true that there is no vain experience in this life to be a singer in the world. If you look at these gods, although the gods are transcendent from eternal life, what happens in the human realm is reflected in the kingdom of God, and this kingdom of gods is also like the kingdom of the earth, not the transcendence that I seek. β
