Moses and others needed the guidance of faith, disciples such as Medanzo needed the guidance of faith, and Amun, who was exploring alone, needed a faith. At this time, Amun may not know what kind of grand wish he made clear when he passed through the Syrian Desert, and if he wants to fulfill it, it will not be a realm that ordinary gods can have, and it will run through the whole after transcending eternal life.

...... Amon walked neither fast nor slow, but he did not stop a single step, he had entered a state of self-forgetfulness, and he had not rested or eaten for many days in a row, as if he were walking in an endless river. It was an unbelievable experience, and I had never heard of anyone who had broken through the endless trials of life and mastered the ninth-level achievement of the Origin Power while on the road, but Amon was.

When that wisp of thinking soul walked out of the Syrian Desert, it seemed that it had also gone through many lifetimes, like a drop of water that was almost invisible in the stormy waves, but it was not submerged in the end.

How do you describe this feeling? When he walks in the sun, he is like a drop of water, reflecting and refracting the colors of the world. Experiencing a lot of life experiences is like a bird flying through a mirror again and again, leaving a clear reflection and disappearing again and again. When Amon opened his eyes to look at the world again, he suddenly realized that there were countless of him in the eyes of different people, like an endless experience. These countless refractions of thoughts converge on the shadows he left in this world, as if they are countless incarnations, which need to be confirmed one by one, and finally seek to verify that clear self.

With this kind of achievement, one can be called a god on the Tianshu Continent, as if he has endless life, and can also have the realm of the source of divine power, absorbing the power to strengthen and repair the soul. When he came back to his senses, Amon couldn't help but sigh that there were some things that he would never be able to appreciate without taking this step, and he was also thinking about another thing - maybe a place needed to be built.

Amon had realized how dangerous his experience was, and he was silently rushing into the turbulent waves, and he actually entered a meditative state while walking, passing the endless test of life. Out of instinctive self-preservation, he used his mana to hide his tracks, and walked in the desolate desert without being disturbed by accidents. Because of his habit of using magic for many years, his mana is deep and long, and he can sneak unconsciously for a month, and his steps are not chaotic at all. If he didn't do any of that, he wouldn't be able to get through.

When he recalled that when he faced the test of losing his strength and reinventing himself, the situation was also quite dangerous, if it was on the battlefield or other fighting environment, it was very likely that he would not survive! The price of achievement is huge, and this price is not only the test itself but also the human situation. He didn't want his disciples to be in danger like himself, and if he already knew what was going on the road, he would have to rely on luck to break through, which was not courage but stupidity.

The place he wanted to build was not a city-state like Salem City, but a nine-link shrine like the one where the envoys of the Eju Nine Divine System lived, separated from the outside world by a strange space, and had a very good cultivation environment, which was suitable for disciples to meditate, and at certain times, it could also provide protection that was not found elsewhere in the world. Such a place is not a true kingdom of the gods, but a palace where the gods live in myths and legends.

Amon had chosen a location in his mind and named it the Garden of Eden. There is much more to come, and when the city of Salem has gained a foothold on the plains of Duc, let's gather the disciples to plan for the construction of the Garden of Eden.

...... A month later, at the checkpoint on the Syrian-Asian border of the Hatti Kingdom, an idle soldier was staring into the distance when suddenly a man walked from the desolate Gobi Desert. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he had seen the flowers, and that person appeared out of thin air!

When he put down his hand, he was sure that he was not mistaken, that there was really a man who had come across the desert, who had no car, no horses, and no package on his back! He quickly grabbed his weapon and shouted, "Who is it, where did it come from, and what are you doing?"

The man replied in a loud voice, "My name is Amun, and I have come from Eju, to duel with Celia, the great sorcerer of your court!"

The garrison of the entire checkpoint was all alarmed, and the commander hurriedly blew the horn of the assembly, leading the soldiers to meet him, and he stood at the intersection and saluted Amun: "The Venerable Great Magician Golie and the governor of the city-state of Syria, Lord Xiao Mo, have long ordered that General Amun, wherever you enter Hati, must receive you with the most solemn courtesy, send chariots, horses and guards to escort you to the city-state, and arrange everything. We have one of the best carriages here for you, and I will personally send you to the city-state. ”

Amon smiled: "I claim to be Amon, I don't have a token, and you haven't verified your identity, so you are so grandly received?"

The checkpoint commander replied, "Except for General Amon himself, who has the bearing of you, who has traveled alone through thousands of miles of desert with your back hand. Besides, I've seen you on the battlefield!"

Amon was welcomed into the checkpoint, and the commander wanted to keep him for dinner and ordered the carriage and guards to prepare, Amon waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm going to the duel, and I'll be a guest when the duel is over." Tell the city-state of Syasia that Amun has entered the territory of Hati and will be waiting for the great magician of Celia at the appointed place. ”

The chief said a little anxiously, "But Lord Golie has said hello, and he wants to see you." ”

Amon smiled: "Naturally, we will meet when it's time to meet, I still have some things to do, so I won't bother for the time being." ”

After he finished speaking, he took a step and appeared far away, and then his figure disappeared in a few flashes, and everyone was dumbfounded. Mo said that these border checkpoints were ordered to meet Amon, even if they wanted to stop Amon, it was impossible, with Amon's achievements today, they were almost the same as those gods in the world. The reason why he showed up and walked through the level was just to say hello to Ge Yeol.

...... Amon entered Hati and headed straight for the eastern shore of the inland lake, the southern end of the Black Fire Swamp, which was close to the place where he and Celia had dueled, and was the place where Yunmeng hurried to meet. Coming from the Duk Plains, there is no way to cross the shrub area where trees and thorns grow and a large area of silt swamps, but it can't stop the Iron Armored Beastmaster, who has grown up in the swamp since childhood.

In the bushes on the edge of the swamp, he met not only Yunmeng, but also Link and Aesop. When the two of them saw Amun, they stepped forward and saluted, and the ironclad beast king pressed his front paws down, and his big head was pointed down, and his movements were good, and Amon was happy when he saw it. He smiled and asked, "I only asked Yunmeng to come to meet, why did you two come here too?" Aesop, didn't I ask Medanzo to take you to Monfilth to find Theo, how did you end up here?"

Isolt replied, "Why have you been on this road for so long? I have returned from Monfils, and I have made an agreement with Theo to organize a caravan to the city of Salem, but only if there is a road to pass. After I returned to Salem City, Link and Yunmeng had already mapped out a route in the swamp, and I wanted to make a field trip to determine how long it would take for the caravan to pass, what dangers would be on the way, what preparations should be made, and how much it would cost? ”

Amon did take a little longer, and even he didn't expect to go for so long, but he passed the test of life, and a month is amazing enough!

A lot has happened in the past month or so, and Medanzo and Isolt have quietly gone to Monfilth to find Theo, a wealthy nobleman. Theo's business is now getting bigger and bigger, and a year ago he received a large investment from Amon to expand his trading houses in the city-states and buy a large number of camel carts and horses.

This was obviously a preparation for large-scale long-distance trade, and for the time being it was just spending money in vain and not being of full use, but the money was given by Amun, and Theo certainly complied. The news of Amon's departure from the Eju Empire was also known to Theo, and he was also worried about Amon's situation, and worried that his business might not be easy to do in the future. He had served as a logistics quartermaster of the An-La Army, had made many generals in the war, and now a lot of business was done with the government, and the loss of Amun's backer may have cut off an important source of income.

At this time, Medanzo brought Aesop, a former slave of a wealthy aristocratic merchant, to visit and negotiate a very important business.

A new city-state was being built in the plains of Duk today, called the city of Salem, with Aesop as the governor thereof. Of course, the construction of a new city-state requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and Medanzo asked Xi'ou to organize caravans from various trading houses to transport supplies to the city of Salem, and the rich products of the Duk Plain could also be transported out for trade, which was a mutually beneficial transaction for both sides.

They deliberately sought out Theo, hoping for a steady stream of military supplies. On the other hand, there is no trade between the city of Salem and the outside world, because the roads are impassable and people do not see the benefits in it.

It is necessary to explain the subtle status of Amun, although he killed Prince Snake and left Eju, he was not publicly wanted by the Empire, and it seems that he has become a figure that the government and the opposition deliberately avoid talking about. On the one hand, of course, because the scene where he killed Prince Snake was witnessed by thousands of soldiers, and it was the prince who ordered the attack first, and the general acted in self-defense. On the other hand, the reason why Pharaoh sent Snake to carry out this mission was because he had the intention of killing people with a sword.

Prince Snake was the eldest son of Lacis II, not a supporter of the Elahet Reformation, and had his own power in the country, which was one of the factors of political instability. Now that he has been killed by Amon, Elahet will only steal the fun, and the general will play one last "residual heat" before leaving Eju.

A peace treaty had been signed between the Harti and Ecu, and trade had been restored, and it was perfectly legitimate for the Sheions to organize caravans in the name of trading with the Syrian city-states. The so-called military supplies do not necessarily refer to armor and weapons, all kinds of items and materials that may be used for marching and combating are counted, and the processed finished or semi-finished products are naturally the best, and this kind of business often requires a military relationship or background.

After arriving at Hati, the caravan had to pass through territory controlled by the city-state of Syria, so Amon planned to talk to Gore, one of the things to do was to open the passage.

Isolt privately gave Theo a list of supplies needed in the city of Salem, as well as what was produced in the Plains of Duc. It was profitable and benefactor's instructions to Amun, ostensibly a normal and legal cross-border trade, and of course Xi'o nodded and agreed, and immediately went to prepare. However, doing business requires accounting costs, and in addition to the taxes at various border checkpoints, there are also risks and freight costs on the road, which no one can be sure about until the road is opened.

Link had already explored his way through the Black Fire Swamp as Amon had instructed, and the path that could be opened in the shortest possible time was found by Yunmeng with four large ironclad beasts, winding through the Black Fire Swamp, intermittently passing through the hard earth belt that was outcropping, and finally leading to the eastern shore of the inland lake. But it was not easy to open the road, it would be necessary to fill in the low-lying areas, remove the bushes and thorns along the way, and chisel some rugged rocks, which would take at least half a year if all the men of Salem were to be used.

When Aesop returned to Salem, he asked to follow the designed route first, calculating the cost of transportation through the road and the maximum capacity of the caravan to and fro. Yunmeng happened to come to meet Amon, and Link came with Aesop.

After hearing this, Amon frowned slightly and said, "Mobilize all the people who can be mobilized in Salem City, will it take half a year to open this road?"

Link smiled bitterly: "Half a year is just to open the road, if you want to completely repair it, it will take at least one or two years with the current manpower of Salem City." But the present situation does not allow us to wait too long, and the people who have come from the Assyrian kingdom to the Plateau have already named the city-state the city of Enriel, and their numbers are increasing, and the walls are getting bigger and bigger, and I am afraid that it will not be long before new conflicts will arise. If this road is not repaired soon, we will be left alone in the Duc Plain. ”

Amon thought for a moment and replied, "I'll solve this problem, you first build a checkpoint and a fortress at the other end of the road, and then build it into the swamp from that side, as much as you can build." As for the road at this end, I am in charge of making it possible for people to pass after a month, and two carriages to go wrong after three months. ”

Isolt exclaimed, "This is a miracle!"

Link patted Aesop on the shoulder and said, "Of course the god Amun created a miracle!" and then said to Amun, "I'm also curious, why are you so sure?"

Amon smiled slightly: "The so-called miracles are also created by people, and this is not a miracle, it is nothing more than the accumulation of manpower and material resources. The city of Salem is now short of manpower and supplies, but the city-state of Syria has it, as long as the conditions are negotiated, they can ask them to repair the road here. ”

Aesop nodded and said, "I see, this is also a mutually beneficial deal, we have the treasure of the goddess Mu Yun, and we can spend money to hire people to build roads from the outside, as long as the city-state of Xuya agrees." ”

Amon suddenly remembered something, and said to Iso, "You came just in time, I have something to ask." ”

Aesop was a little surprised: "You are a god-like person, what do you want to ask me?"

Amon asked with a smile, "I heard you tell the story of Pythagoras, a distant sage, who claimed to have seen it with your own eyes, and you are actually literate, so you will not be born a slave, right?"

Aesop bowed his head and said, "My hometown is far away, my father was once a bard, he was killed by pirates on his way to a long journey, I became a slave at a very young age, I was sold everywhere, and I have traveled to many places. ”

Amun: "There is no need to mention the sad past, I know that you have been to many places and are very knowledgeable, I have never met anyone who knows the legends of various places like you, have you ever heard the legends of the Duc Plain?"

Isolt cautiously replied, "There are many stories about Duketown, but I know that you are a miner in Duketown, and some of the stories are probably offensive and disrespectful to you, so I never mention them." ”

Amon smiled bitterly: "I see, I should have asked you a long time ago! It's not too late to ask, have you heard of a very special legend?"

Aesop looked up and asked, "What is special, is it a battle of the gods?" There are not many folk tales, you have been in the archives of the Temple of Isis, and if you look at the texts there, there must be more than folk myths. ”

Amon's eyes lit up: "There is no need to say more about the battle of the gods, I still know several people involved, are there any older and older legends?"

Isolt frowned and thought for a moment: "I vaguely remember a legend with a very bizarre story about a tower. If you've ever been to the city of Baron, the capital of the Barrons, you should know that there is a magnificent tower on the outskirts of the city called the Gate of the Gods, which was built by successive Barron kings to pay homage to the god Marduk, and it may be related to a story that was once circulated on the mainland. ”

...... It is said that before the War of the Gods, the Anuna Kai God Department was the era of the reign of the god Anu, but Amat, the mother of Anu, held the sacred artifact of the god system, the Book of the Mandate of Heaven, and had supreme power. Later, Amat gave the Book of Destiny to his other son, Jingut, in an attempt to make Jingut the main god. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the gods, which eventually led to a split in the god system and a civil war.

The legend of that tower should have taken place before the battle of the gods, because the main god in the story was still Anu. At that time, there was no Duk Town and its miners, and the area around Duk Town was a fertile land where the people were strong and intelligent, but they were so clever that they were overly conceited and even tried to spy on the secrets of the gods.

They built a huge city-state, located in the area of present-day Salem, and planned to build a tower called the Tower of Babel, which had never been seen before in the world. The people worked ambitiously to burn bricks under the blazing sun and asphalt the bricks, and the tower was built higher and higher, hoping to ascend to the realm of the gods.

The noise of the people alarmed the sleeping Amat, and she called Anu to ask what was going on, and Anu reported on the construction of the Tower of Babel and called the gods to counsel. It is said that all the gods were present at that time, and everyone decided to stop it. So the gods worked together to disrupt people's language so that they could not understand what they were saying to each other, which is said to be the origin of the different languages of the countries on the continent today.
