183. You are not the only genius
As soon as Vincent was sent away, the goddess Mu Yun appeared two steps away from Amun, looking at him with a smile, but her pretty red lips were slightly pouted, as if she was still a little angry in her smile. She did not hold an ivy staff, did not wear a golden crown on her head, had long brown hair, wore a lapis lazuli necklace on her chest, and wore a long cotton dress with indigo stripes, the same one Amon had bought for her in Sumerian for sixty copper coins.
She did not appear in the form of a goddess, except for the necklace, the girl in front of her was Yin Nanna, a shepherdesss slave that Amon had met at the beginning. Amon also looked at her, he was half a head taller than her, lowered his gaze slightly, and smiled at the corners of his eyebrows. The two just smiled and looked at each other, no one spoke for a while, and there seemed to be no need to say anything, the seemingly impossible promise, now Amon finally did it.
In the distance, Gabriel saw this scene, turned and disappeared in front of the window. It's hard to guess how people react at the first sight of a true deity, Gabriel grew up believing in the Nine Heavens, but for mortals, there is always an indescribable awe at the sight of a true deity.
But Gabriel was different, she was not afraid, this warrior saw the real god for the first time in his life, and the shock and confusion were indescribable, but he turned away and stopped looking, perhaps because he didn't want to disturb the two of them, and Amon didn't need anyone to protect him at this time.
After a long time, Yin Nanna, who was looking at each other, suddenly glared at Amon, took two steps forward and hugged his arm, rested her head lightly on his shoulder, and said in a slightly resentful tone: "Amon, you are so bad!"
Amon was stunned, he couldn't understand what was wrong with him? Listening to the goddess's tone, it seemed to be coquettish, even though Amon had experienced countless storms and dangers, but he didn't have much experience in dealing with a woman's coquettishness, let alone dealing with a goddess. The goddess's hair tickled his ears and neck, and Amun looked down and asked, "Is there something wrong with me? β
Yin Nanna leaned sideways into Amun's arms, reached out and grabbed one of his hands and wrapped it around her waist, and said, "Have you ever seen a temple like that?"
Amon smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect them to build a god statue like that, if you are not satisfied, I can let them rebuild it." β
Yin Nanna: "I didn't say I wasn't satisfied, that's how I appeared at the beginning, and that's the way we are now." β
Amon: "In that case, why do you call me bad?"
Yin Nanna chuckled: "It's not that I want to say you, such a temple appears in the Duke Plain, and the noses of some gods are probably going to be crooked!"
Amon: "As long as you're okay, I've been out of Eju for so long, and you didn't show up until now, are you just waiting for me to fulfill my promise?"
Yin Nanna: "Yes, I was just waiting for this day, and I really didn't see the wrong person! You did something that shocked the world, and today surprised me again!"
Amon: "What's wrong? Didn't today's ritual be expected by you?"
Yin Nanna: "You actually hugged me on the altar! This means that you have passed the endless test, have the ninth-level achievement of the origin power, comprehend the realm of the source of divine power, and can share this divine domain with me." β
Amon smiled, "It's a bonus, if you mind, I can leave the idol, I didn't expect that when I first made my promise." β
Yin Nanna clenched her pink fist and gently slapped him on the chest: "I didn't say I didn't want to, you deserve it! I always wanted to guide you, but I didn't expect you to accept the guidance, why didn't you tell me?"
Amon: "You haven't seen me, how can I tell you?"
Yin Nanna: "Which god have you been guided by?This must be nodded by the main god of the god system, have you joined the Nine Divine System?In any case, I am very happy, you have joined the god system, you don't need to get the secret of becoming a god from me, but you still built a temple for me and returned my god domain." That's what I'm most grateful for, but I feel a little bit sorry for. β
Amon asked, "What is the pity?"
Yin Nanna raised her face on his chest and smiled playfully: "It's a pity that I didn't guide you, and I couldn't make you swear to me." β
Her face was so close that Amon could kiss her lips as soon as he lowered his head, but he sighed softly and said, "Is the meaning of that oath what you want?" I have seen the Scorpion King and the Lion King, and the oath is still there, but Amat who guided them to join the Anunnaqi God Department has long since fallen. β
Yin Nanna stepped on him lightly: "It's just a joke, it's up to you to be serious! Can you tell me who guided you to join which god system?...... I don't want to ask you for your secrets, but if you are an emissary of the Nine Links Divine System, your idol cannot appear here, because from today onwards, this is also the realm of the source of your divine power. β
Amon replied, "I'm not an emissary of the Nine Divine Systems, and to tell you the truth, I haven't joined any of the Divine Systems. β
He was telling the truth, Yin Nanna could hear it, and stood up straight and looked at him in surprise, "So what's going on with all this? Did the cat tell you the secret, Bester fell because she broke her oath, why did she do this?"
Amon showed a sad look and shook his head, "She didn't fall because she broke her oath, she left for liberation. As for the power of the Origin, I have realized it myself, and if there is any unknown secret that she has told me, it is the examination of fate and the judgment of the end. Before SchrΓΆdinger left, he unfolded his soul imprint on me. Yin Nanna, did you already know the origin of the cat next to me?"
Yin Nanna lowered her head and said, "I didn't notice the cat at first, and when I met you in Sumertown, I didn't even know it was around you. Later, Best appeared as Moses and they parted from Chihai, and I knew that she had always been by your side, as far as I know, Best used to be the closest to the divine envoy of the Nine Divine Systems, but I didn't expect to leave like this. Amon, are you sad?"
Amon: "I should have been happy for her, it was a relief, but I was really reluctant at the time. β
Yin Nanna hugged Amun's arm again: "It seems that not only am I paying attention to you, you are actually able to comprehend the power of the origin on your own, there are few such people in the history of the Tianshu Continent, the last person who comprehended the power of the origin on his own and became a god was Malduk." β
This time, it was Amun's turn to be surprised: "Marduk! he didn't get the guidance of the gods, but he comprehended the power of the origin on his own, and finally became a god beyond eternal life?"
Yin Nanna nodded: "You are a rare genius, but you are not the only genius in the world, the path you can walk has been thought of by countless people for thousands of years." But even if you understand this secret, it will be difficult to cultivate to the end in your limited life, and even if you cultivate to the end, it will be difficult to pass the examination of fate and the judgment of the end, and finally become a god who transcends eternal life. You haven't done that yet, and before you, Marduk did. β
Amon asked puzzledly, "In that case, why did he become one of the two main gods of the Anuna Enlightenment Divine System?"
Yin Nanna blinked, looked at Amun and said meaningfully: "You are not a true god yet, you don't know the world of gods, what is the meaning of what you are pursuing after you have the achievement of transcending immortality? Is it the immortal, boundless nothingness and loneliness? Without the support of the gods, all the gods will fall into this confusion."
It was Ea, the god of wisdom in the Anunnakai system, who introduced Malduk, and Ea was Marduk's guide after he became a god, not before he became a god, and Maldok eventually joined the Anunakai gods. Such a deity is often the most powerful because of his experience, think of Enkidu, what if he becomes a true deity beyond eternal life?
Malduk was bound by a small oath but possessed great power, which allowed him to become the main general in the War of the Gods, and later broke with Enriel, eventually splitting the Anunnaqi God Domain in two and becoming another main god. Amon, you are not incapable of this achievement, and what you have done so far has exceeded my expectations. β
Amon spoke after a while, "Do you want me to be another Malduk?"
Yin Nanna hugged his arm tighter: "I finally waited for you, you are unique, I want to protect you, wait for you to become a true transcendent god, and then as your guide to let you join the god system." At that time, everything we do today will have the greatest meaning, and the plain of Duc will become an eternal realm for you and me. β
Amon put his other hand on her shoulder: "Yin Nanna, you should know me, I can't bow to Enril at all, and I will never join his divine line. β
Yin Nanna: "I know that your heart has long broken with Enril, but it doesn't matter, I can also lead you to join the Anunnaqi Divine Department, and if you are already a god, just make a very simple vow." Maybe one day, you will break with the Lord God, as Malduk did, but I know that you will not betray me, and that is enough. β
Amon was puzzled and asked, "Why do I have to join the Anuna Enlightenment Divine Department?"
Yin Nanna: "You still don't understand, but when you really become a god, you'll know why?" The realm of your divine power source is in the Duk Plains, and joining Anunnaqi is probably the only choice. I know what the Scorpion King Surabaya is thinking, he wants to become a real god and establish his own god system, but when it comes, he will understand that it is too unrealistic. Marduk's choice back then has proven this. β
Amon was confused and said: "I really don't understand, let's talk about it then, if I refuse, I hope you won't be disappointed." β
Yin Nanna regained her smiling expression, looked at Amon with affection, and said, "You have not disappointed me! What I said today is not a request, but a hope to repay you." Wait until you become a god, now that you understand what the test of fate is, the last judgment, and have the realm of the source of divine power, you should think about how to take that last step, and let me help you, okay?"
Amon: "How do you want to help me?"
Yin Nanna stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the temple: "I heard what that person said to you just now, he wants to guide you to think in another way, although it did not shake your faith, but what he said is quite interesting." You already have what you have achieved today, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to haunt the world like this. β
Amon smiled bitterly: "It's a little inappropriate, people can't tell whether I'm Amun or Amun God, can't tell whether I'm a living person or a god standing on the altar, every time I appear, it will be regarded as a miracle." β
Yin Nanna stretched out her finger and poked at his chest and said, "Actually, you don't have to appear like before, the idol is your perception, if necessary, you will understand what people want." If you want to walk on earth, you can do it like I used to, remember, the shepherdesss slave Yin Nanna you helped?"
Amon smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "You are now, too." β
Yin Nanna: "You're really rare, no matter who I am, you've never changed. You have more important things now, in order to successfully survive the final test, there must be a place where you can cultivate with peace of mind, even if it is hundreds of years without being disturbed, absorb the endless power in the realm of the source of divine power, and wait for the final test to come. β
Amon: "Is it a place like the Nine Links Shrine?"
Yin Nanna: "The gods of Anunnaqi have their own divine palaces in the human world, and I will open the Mu Yun Divine Palace on the Syrian Plateau for you, and when you need to cultivate, you can enter there." β
Amon smiled, "I don't want to occupy your shrine, and I have my own disciples to guide, but I want to see what the so-called shrine looks like, and then guide the disciples to build one of their own." β
Yin Nanna blinked: "That's not easy, if you want to try it, can I make a request?"
Amon: "Say it." β
Yin Nanna: "You can come and go as you like as you want to go as you like, and if you build your own shrine in the future, I can come and go whenever I want to find you." β
Amon replied very simply: "No problem, building the Divine Palace is just my idea, I'm afraid I still need your guidance and help." Do you want to take me to your Mu Yun Shrine now?"
Yinnanna: "You can call it Yinnanna's Rose Garden if you want." But there's one more thing you promised and you haven't done so far, and Moses and the others haven't come back, they're still lingering on the way. β
Amon thought for a moment: "It was the conditions proposed by Maldok that stopped them, and I let them choose for themselves, this is their last test before returning to their homeland." But I will tell you that even if they return to the city of Salem, they will no longer worship the goddess Muyun. β
Yin Nanna's expression became a little resentful again: "I know very well the thoughts of the world, it doesn't matter whether they believe me or not, my temple has been completed in the city of Salem. But this is my bet with Enriel, after all, Enriel is the main god of this divine domain, and since I have made an agreement, I will abide by it. β
Amon asked, "What did you and Enril agree to do in the first place?"
Yin Nanna replied, "After the Great Flood, if I want to restore the realm of the source of divine power, I must go out of Enriel's divine domain to find the descendants of Duke Town. Enriel made two bets with me, the first of which was that there was a man who, not because he was bewitched by my beauty and who had not eaten up the bread in my hand, came to Enriel to redeem what I had lost, and did not turn the redemption into a robbery or a renunciation of his promise. You were the one who helped me win the bet in Sumertown. β
Amon: "There's another bet?"
Yin Nanna replied faintly: "If the descendants of Duke Town really return to their homeland, they will have to go through many hardships, what a strong desire is driving them! The one who led them to the Duk Plain must have the strongest courage and the strongest will. The final test of the gods is the price and sacrifice, the ability to distinguish between one's own selfish desires and one's idealistic beliefs, and if the person is willing to give up his own wishes in order to fulfill the common wishes of his people, then Enriel will let the people of Duk return home in peace. β
Amon frowned and said, "Can you make it clear?"
Yin Nanna lowered her head and whispered: "What I said is already very clear, Enriel's bet is that the leader who leads the Duke people back to their hometown is willing to stay outside the Duk Plain. This was not coercion, but the sacrifice and price he paid voluntarily for the sake of his people. β
Amon's brow tightened even further: "Why would Enriel make such a request?"
Yin Nanna's voice became thinner: "Because Enriel didn't think of one thing, he thought that the people who built the temple for me would be the descendants of Duk Town, and the person who led the miners of Duk Town to return to their hometown must be you. I made this pact, and at the same time made my own request, if the leader of the miners in Duk could voluntarily pay that price in order to fulfill the wishes of his people, then I would guide him to join the Anunnaqi lineage, and Enriel agreed. β
Amon suddenly realized: "I see, the covenant of the gods is prepared for me!"
Yoonna: "Yes, it was all for you, but now it seems ridiculous. The person who built the temple for me was not a descendant of Duketown, and it was not you who led the Miners of Duk Town back to their homeland, and the covenant of the gods pointed to Moses. β
Amon easily opened the arm that was holding Yin Nanna, and said in a deep voice: "This is the agreement between you and Enril, there is no agreement between me or Moses and Enril, there is nothing to abide by!"
Yin Nanna took Amon's hand and said, "Please don't be angry with me!" The gods didn't expect today's situation, at that time, I really wanted to guide you to join the god system and tell you the secret of becoming a god, as the rarest reward in this world. Of course, you don't have to keep my agreement with Enril, but Enriel will still send an oracle to stop your people, and I can't intervene unless Moses makes a voluntary sacrifice. β
