Amon asked, "What are the two cases?"

Pythagoras replied, "The first is that one of my disciples has transcended eternal life and entered the kingdom of Olympus, in which case Zeus will be passive, and I can decide for myself when to return to heaven and start my world, and the outcome is unknown." The second is that Zeus has sought a higher realm and made a request, which means that he has approved my vow, then I will also return to the Olympian heavenly kingdom and merge my world into it. ”

Amon couldn't help but nod again: "If the latter case is the case, it seems that Zeus has the upper hand, but in fact, you have also won." Because the Olympian kingdom has finally made the path beyond eternal life known to the world, which is your grand wish back then, this transfiguration is really mysterious! And Zeus did not lose, he evolved the Olympian kingdom into a fairy world, and became a true god of gods. ...... Mr. Pythagoras, since you have traveled far and wide in Kunlun and Tianzhu, what unique realizations do you have?"

Amon was asking for advice, and his attitude was quite humble. Pythagoras was Plato's teacher, and even Amun's teacher, and even Aristotle, Amun's most respected sage, studied under Plato.

Pythagoras had no reservations in front of Amun, and replied calmly: "In the eyes of the world, my most important achievement is mathematics. But people here should understand that I'm just teaching them how to see the world. All things have their origin and the law of change, so that they can create the world. I have heard the Supreme Master say, 'The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things'......"

Amon interjected with some surprise: "Have you ever seen Taishang?"

Pythagoras sighed with a little regret: "I have not met him, and I regret that I passed by this sage." But I've read the elixir he left behind in Kunlun. Although it is the guidance of another system with the original power that I have cultivated, it also leads to transcendent eternal life, which is called immortality for too long. What I have vowed to do, the sages of the distant world have already done and have done.

According to the words of the Supreme Being, the first is the mother of all things, the origin of all wisdom and existence in the world, the second is the opposition and negation, which are two sides of the same body, which are the laws of change of things, and the third is the appearance and form of all things, just like the world as we see it. Since then, I have thought more about the world, to describe the world in numbers, to teach the disciples here. ”

Amun laughed and said, "You also told your disciples that souls can be immortal and can be reincarnated, and you are talking about reincarnation instead of rebirth, is there any difference in this?"

Pythagoras replied, "Reincarnation is the reincarnation of the soul that has not attained transcendence, and rebirth is the choice of the gods, because the gods can re-enter the human world and reincarnate and cultivate, and the two situations seem to be the same, but I just use different names to show the difference." In fact, the soul of the transcendent person cannot be reincarnated, and if the spirit of the god falls, it ceases to exist. ”

Amon frowned slightly, and thought, "I have never noticed this difference, and I have also wondered if there will be a rebirth of the soul after the death of a living being? ”

Pythagoras: "It's the experience of going through the trials of life and seeing everything you go through differently, and you can think of it as the experience of countless beings in the world, or as the experience of your own soul. ...... Mr. Amon, may I ask you a question, can you see their past and future lives?"

Pythagoras lifted a finger to look out of the curtain, his gaze through the curtain and the portal, and pointed to the two disciples standing outside the door. Amon suddenly remembered a detail from his discussion with Ju Mang in the rose garden. At that time, he also talked about the issue of the previous life and the next life, and Ju Mang raised his hand and pointed at Wendy and replied quietly: "She is the future life of her previous life and the previous life of the next life, but does she know it? ”

Instead of answering Pythagoras' question, Amon suddenly asked, "Have you seen the immeasurable light?"

Pythagoras: "I have not seen the Infinite Light himself, but I have heard his disciples recite scriptures. ”

Amon smiled, "I see, no wonder you preach the doctrine of soul immortality and reincarnation in the manor. However, the belief you preach is explaining the immortal gods and reincarnated mortals, which is different from the guidance of the immeasurable light, but is in line with the cultivation of the original power. ”

Pythagoras also smiled: "I am originally a god of the Olympian god system, but I am just borrowing, confirming, and integrating into my own system. ”

Amon nodded and said, "I have had the privilege of seeing the Infinite Light Human Appearance, and I have also communicated with his disciples. What else have you learned from the Infinite Light, Mr. Pythagoras?"

Pythagoras smiled and replied, "Precepts." ”

Some people call the group founded by Pythagoras the Pythagorean school, while others think that the Pythagorean estate resembles a mysterious group of monks because of the strange rules that the people here have to follow. This is the discipline of the group, such as not eating beans, not leaving the imprint of the pot on the ashes, etc.

Pythagoras explained Amun in his witty words, and some of these precepts were profound but difficult to explain to the disciples who had just joined the group, so he disciplined them. The immeasurable light transmits the Dharma, and the disciples must also take the vows, just like the oath of the divine envoys to join the divine system. The meaning of some of the precepts is multi-layered and the disciples do not fully understand it.

For example, the immeasurable light allows disciples not to kill and accumulate worldly merits, which is not only a good deed, but when the final test comes, whether it is transcending eternal life or being reborn in samsara, people will understand another layer of meaning. When you are detached from eternal life, you will face "the examination of fate, the judgment of the end", and when you enter the "bardo and light realm" when you pass away, your soul will be reflected by what you have done in this life.

There are also precepts that seem to have no real meaning, just frivolous rules, but they are not useless, even useful. Joining this group requires "purification of the mind," but it is difficult for people to see their own hearts clearly, so how can they purify it?

Amun remembered the Ten Commandments he had made with the people of Salem through Moses as Aroh, and that was probably the same intention. He imprinted a message into the soul of Pythagoras, recounting his feelings and answering questions about his understanding. He can't just ask for advice, today's meeting is also a kind of mutual exchange.

Amun spoke again: "You have made the disciples aware of the laws and connections of all things, and you have expressed them in numbers, but they are inexhaustible. ”

Pythagoras explained: "It is impossible for people to transcend their own knowledge and their time, which will be a legacy accumulated through generations." People can know the world, but it doesn't mean that they have mastered it. We often think that we are the masters of the world, but in fact we are just slaves, even if we reach the end of the world, we are still bound by this.

Isn't that the situation of the creator god? So I don't want to be a creator god, you and Zeus are the same, and Allah and Anu will choose to leave. Generations of people have opened their eyes to the world, and many people think that what they have in their hands is the truth, and they try to blind the eyes of the world. The same is true of the believers whom you and I are guiding on earth, who may simply think they are believing in you. ”

Hearing Pythagoras say this, Amon also smiled wryly, and suddenly looked up through the curtain and out the door. Someone came, and Magus said outside the door, "Sir, you can't go in, the Pythagorean teacher is talking to the guest." ”

The man replied, "I am Zeus." ”

"I was about to ask what your name is," said Enks, but the Pythagorean teacher had told me that someone would come to visit. Please wait a moment, I will inform you and see if it is convenient for the teacher to see you. ”

Then Pythagoras cried out, "Let Zeus come in, we are already waiting for him." ”

The two disciples opened the door and said to Zeus, "You can go in." ”

Zeus strode into the room and lifted the curtain to the table. Pythagoras beckoned quietly, "Father of the gods, you are here?" ”

There are three stools at this table, Amon and Pythagoras sit on the left and right, and the stool in the middle happens to be reserved for Zeus. Zeus sat down angrily and said unceremoniously to Amun: "You are in Delphi, the holy place of the Olympian Domain, and you are so aggressive! Even if it is to avenge a mortal Aesop, it is enough to kill Antonio in public in the temple! Where do you leave the Olympian gods in this way?"

Amon replied unhurriedly, "Zeus, you don't have to be so angry. The melee in the mountains was indeed the first to be done, but if I didn't do it, I would be surrounded by a great array of divine arts. They set up an ambush in the middle of the night, do you still want me to be captured?"

Zeus: "As the Lord of Heaven, you should also know how the gods solve problems. Your actions in the Temple of Delphi have violated the terms of cooperation with me. The gods ordered the divine envoys to stop you on the road, just to make a new agreement with you, but you didn't choose to negotiate at all, but directly killed people!"

Amon sneered, "They want to make a new covenant with me because I am still qualified to negotiate. If I don't have the power, do you think the oracles will be soft on me? You are angry because I reacted beyond the gods' expectations. As the Lord of Heaven, I dare to fight like this. Although those oracles are mortals, they directly threaten and challenge me, and of course I can cut them down. Even those gods behind the scenes, when they meet me, it will be the same result!"

Zeus shouted angrily: "But this is the holy place of the Olympian Domain!"

According to the ancient covenant between the gods, gods are usually not allowed to attack mortals directly, unless they directly challenge and offend the gods. And the gods are not allowed to enter the realm of other gods without permission, unless they are allowed or invited. I think that Amon quietly came to the Heaton Peninsula as an ordinary car driver, and Zeus found him and took the opportunity to discuss the terms of cooperation.

And now Amun's public beheading of the oracle in the temple not only means that his cooperation with Zeus has been suspended, but also angers the Olympian gods. Then he was persona non grata when he came here, and the gods sent messengers to block the way, which meant that a new covenant would be concluded between the kingdom of angels and the kingdom of Olympus, but Amun killed the angels directly.

Pythagoras suddenly interjected, "Zeus, I want to remind you that the Anuna Enlightenment Divine System and the Nine-Linked Divine System are no longer there!"

This sage pointed out a very critical issue, there was indeed an agreement between the ancient god systems of the Tianshu Continent, but Amon used the Kingdom of Angels to merge the Anuna Qi God Kingdom and the Nine Divine Kingdom to establish a new god system, and the angels received new guidance. There was no inheritance of the original agreement between this god and the Olympian kingdom.

The only agreement Amun made with Zeus was the previous cooperation. Now that this cooperation has been suspended, Amon is theoretically not bound by any oaths and promises, but only bears the consequences of his actions.

The Olympian gods ordered the oracles to set up an ambush on the outskirts of Delphi in order to force Amon, the lord of heaven, to make a new covenant, but Amon did not buy it and went all the way to the Pythagoras manor. Now that Zeus is here, these two lords of heaven need to talk about whether to abide by the ancient traditions between the gods, or to make a new commitment?

Zeus said in a deep voice, "Amon, we need to have a good talk. ”

Amon said indifferently: "I didn't leave here, but visited Mr. Pythagoras, just waiting for you to come." I just want to ask one thing, why do you acquiesce when you know that what Alena and the others are doing is sabotaging the cooperation between you and me?"

Zeus did not answer, but Pythagoras reminded, "Amon, because you did what I wanted to do, Zeus had no choice." ”

After Amun left Macedonia, he sent down an oracle in the capacity of the main god of Eju, telling the priests of the temples the secret of the original power, so that people could understand that there was a way beyond eternal life in the world, which was what Prometheus wanted to do.

The reason why Zeus talked about cooperation with Amun in the first place was mainly because Amon was also a lord of heaven. Through the expansion of the Olympian domain, Zeus wanted to seal a higher realm and become a true god of the gods. And the final sign of the completion of the seal is the ability to merge with another heavenly kingdom. In fact, he has two choices, Prometheus in the god system and Amon outside the god system.

If Zeus is sure, he can ask Pythagoras at any time to return to heaven to restore the identity of Prometheus, try to merge with another heaven and achieve a fairy world, which is one of Zeus's choices. Zeus can also use the expansion of the Olympus God Domain, and finally annex and merge Amun's God Domain in the world, if Amun's angel kingdom still wants to guide believers in the world, he must go to Zeus to negotiate, then Zeus can also take the opportunity to make a request to Amon, which is the second option.

There was a conflict between Zeus and Prometheus, and he preferred to cooperate with Amun, as Zeus was not willing to give up the secrets controlled by the gods and tell mortals the path to eternal life. But after Amun left Macedonia and issued the latest oracle, Zeus had no choice. Whether it's Prometheus or Amon, it's the same for him. He must truly allow that "kindling" to spread to earth in order to merge their kingdom of heaven.

Between Zeus and Prometheus, it is only an internal contradiction within the Olympian god system, and the appearance of Pythagoras Manor means that they can reach a new compromise. But after Amun issued the oracle, the conflict between him and Zeus became a conflict between the two gods, and it was almost irreconcilable.

There is a secret that the best for each other can only be obtained when everyone keeps it together. Once it is made public by one party, then the situation of the other party becomes very passive. For example, Amun told his followers that mortals could transcend eternal life and come to his heavenly kingdom, but Zeus did not, would the world prefer to believe in Zeus or Amon?

All other things had been equal, Amun would have gained more and more followers on earth. Although those who believe in Amun are not necessarily more fortunate than those who believe in Zeus, and the vast majority of those who are beyond the eternal still need direct guidance from the gods, Amun will have absolute attraction for the competition for the realm of the source of divine power, and will even invade in another way.

The appearance of Aesop in the city of Miduri is a sign of this. Therefore, the gods took the opportunity of framing Aesop to attract the revenge of Amun, and took the opportunity to dissolve his partnership with Zeus. And Zeus knew this, but still acquiesced in the gods' approach, indicating that he did not want to cooperate with Amon anymore.

Amon's existence has threatened the interests of the gods of the Olympian kingdom. There are two ways to deal with Amon, one is to eliminate the inheritance of this god system in the world, and the other is to force Amon to make a new agreement between the god lines.

At this time, Zeus said the truth: "Amon, you are here, you are useless to me. ”

Yes, the country of angels that merges with Amun does not have to be another option for Zeus. Prometheus within the god system already has the realm of the Lord of Heaven, and Zeus wants to get the opportunity to achieve an immortal realm, and he can be confirmed at any time when he has cultivated to the point. So since the cooperative relationship between him and Amon has ended, the problem he faces is the negotiation between the two god systems.

Amon sat firmly and asked, "Zeus, do you want to do anything with me?"

Zeus showed anger again: "You and I are both lords of heaven, we can't do it lightly, don't forget your identity! What you did in Delphi has surprised me." ”

Although Zeus was more powerful than Amon, he was not absolutely sure that he would be able to defeat Amon. Looking at the scene of Amun's fight with those divine envoys today, there is simply no room for error. The Lord of Heaven is different from ordinary gods, and if he falls, the Kingdom of Heaven that he created will cease to exist. Even if such a deity wants to make a move, he will generally not personally take risks with the Buddha-figure Dharmakaya.

Amon spread his hands: "In this case, I will be my guide, you will be your guide, and let the world choose for themselves, this is the agreement between you and me." I am not only making a pact with the gods, but also with the world. ”
