Chapter Eighty-Three: The Road to Hades
[Data anomalies, unknown permissions detected...]
[Limit the ...... you have been exposed to]
Suddenly, Xuanshen's voice sounded out of thin air and entered Lu Mingfei's mind, and then he woke up suddenly, and the self-awareness of being sealed began to recover.
Lin Huang on the side saw that he suddenly stopped and didn't move, and thought that something had happened to him, so he couldn't help but stare at him, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?" ”
However, Lu Mingfei, who has regained his self-awareness, should be Su Yuheng to be precise, and what is now presented in front of him is one data code after another, including Lin Xiao.
With a wave of his hand, everything around him began to change into a flowing string of data codes, and in just a moment, the whole world became a world of data codes.
Now, all the Black Kings, White Kings, and the Gasotu families have disappeared completely.
"It's just some data code." Su Yuheng thought unconcernedly.
Then he waved his hand again and began to find a way to communicate with the Xuan Shen.
Since the Xuan God took the initiative to unlock the cognitive restrictions for him, it means that he has already dealt with those invaders.
Sure enough, the next moment, the figure of Xuan Shen walked out of the surrounding data code, "Sorry, those guys who came here this time are a bit troublesome, it took a long time to clean them up." ”
"Can my body ascend continue?" Su Yuheng raised his eyebrows.
"Well, I'm afraid it won't work for the time being, although those annoying guys were temporarily expelled by me, but they also left some special means at the location of the data port, if you continue to walk the location of the data port to upgrade your body, it is very likely that those annoying guys will notice something." Xuan Shen said embarrassedly.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he changed his words again and continued to speak: "You can't do it with a normal data port, but there is an old way I think you can try it." ”
"What's the solution?" Su Yuheng couldn't help but say with some curiosity.
There are many options for the way to ascend? That's kind of interesting.
Xuanshen stared at him and said slowly, "The Road to Hades." ”
"Hades? What is that? Su Yuheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in confusion.
However, instead of answering him directly, the Xuan Shen asked instead, "Do you remember the illusion world you encountered when you first started your body ascension?" ”
"You mean the data world with the existence of the Beasts?" Su Yuheng raised his eyebrows and said.
"That's right, actually part of that data world is a reflection of the real world I'm in." Xuan Shen snapped his fingers and explained.
Su Yuheng frowned, "You mean that in the real world you are in, there are also the existence of Underworld Beasts and Underworld Slayers?" ”
"Wait, if that's the case, then this path to the underworld shouldn't be the underworld, right?"
Xuan Shen shook his head and smiled, "Of course not, the underworld is the underworld, and the underworld is the underworld, and the underworld is the underworld, and there is an essential difference between the two." ”
Su Yuheng heard more from his words, "So things like the Underworld, the Underworld, the Underworld, and the Netherworld Slayer are all real?" ”
"Yes, but it's not, I can't tell you the specific information directly for the time being, and when I really complete the ascension, you will naturally understand, and now let's talk about the road to the underworld."
Su Yuheng spread his hands, then stared at him and motioned for Xuanshen to continue.
"The Road to Hades is actually a place where the gods who have long since died exist, so the Road of Hades is also known as the Road of the Dead Gods, and you will encounter various historical relics of the gods along the way."
"Wait, gods?" Su Yuheng suddenly felt that something was not right, and hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, that's right, it's the gods, otherwise where do you think the gods you knew in the data world came from? It's just an extension of some gods from the past. Xuan Shen explained again.
"So, in that real world you're in, is there still a God?" Su Yuheng asked with a deep gaze.
"You won't know until you've completed your true ascension." Genshin didn't reply to him with an answer to that question.
Seeing this, Su Yuheng could only do it, and motioned for him to continue to talk about the problem of the path of the underworld.
"Originally, if you took the road of data port to upgrade your body, I was completely sure that I could help you complete the ascension, but the road of Hades is not so simple, although the gods inside are all gods who have long since died, but after all, they were once supreme beings, even if they have died for countless years, they can still leave some unimaginable means."
"If you ascend through the path of Hades, you may encounter these methods that existed before the eons of time, and the result will be if, I am afraid that no existence can predict it."
When Su Yuheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he began to think about it.
The path of Hades was obviously an unpredictable path, and if it was under normal circumstances, he naturally didn't need to take such a path.
But right now, it seems that someone is staring at the data port, and if you go directly, you will definitely be trapped, so ......
"And what about going to the road to Hades?" Su Yuheng asked with a firm gaze.
"Hehe, it's easy!" Xuan Shen understood what he meant, and the divine beast snapped its fingers, and then the surrounding data codes began to collapse towards a certain point, and billions of rays of ghost light were reflected from it.
"Gate of Hades, please!" Xuan Shen bowed sideways and said to Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng glanced at it, and walked in without the slightest hesitation.
As he entered, hundreds of millions of rays of light were reflected, and a desolate and deathly aura came straight to him, and an ancient road full of yellow sand appeared in front of him.
"Is this the way to Hades?"
Su Yuheng squinted slightly, and looked behind him, the passage when he came had already disappeared silently, only the endless yellow sand was flying.
He walked cautiously on this ancient road, but this road seemed to have no end, even if he walked for three days and three nights, there was nothing but the yellow sand in front of him.
But he had expected this before he came in, anyway, he was a data code, and he wouldn't feel tired and hungry like ordinary people here, as long as he kept walking, sooner or later he would finish this road.
In this way, another nine days and nine nights passed......
Suddenly, Su Yuheng noticed that something else appeared in the yellow sand in front of him, and he suddenly looked stunned and went up cautiously.
I saw several broken stone slabs stacked on both sides, depicting some ancient existence in ancient language.
After Su Yuheng took a look, he realized that the depiction on it was actually the legendary Nine Pillar God.
The so-called Nine Pillars God is actually the nine gods worshipped in Heriopolis, the center of worship of the sun god, and the nine most important main gods in ancient Egyptian mythology.
They are: Ra, the god of the sun, the supreme god of Egyptian mythology, the god of wind and air - Shu, the god of rain - Tephnut, the god of the earth - Geb, the goddess of the sky - Nut, the god of Hades and agriculture - Osiris, the goddess of life, magic, marriage and family - Isis, the god of desert and storms - Seth, the patron goddess of houses and the dead - Nephthys
Legend has it that the original god Atum gave birth to twin siblings, Shu the god of air and Tephnut, the god of the lake, and they united and gave birth to a pair of twin siblings Gaibu and Nut, the god of the earth, and Nut, the god of the sky, and they combined to give birth to the fourth generation of gods, two men and two women, the male being Osiris and Seth, the female being Isis and Nephthys, Osiris and Isis being united, and Seth being united with Nephthys.
Originally Osiris was king, Seth murdered his brother and took the throne, Osiris's son Horus avenged his father and became the new king, and Osiris went to Hades to become the ruler of the undead.
This line of gods did not originally have Ra, the most prominent sun god in Egypt, and it may have arisen during the time when Horus was the king of the Egyptian gods.
The status of the Egyptian pharaoh was equivalent to that of a god and was believed to be the incarnation of the god-king Horus, who may have been one of the original sun gods.
This genealogy may have been created to explain the origin of Horus and to fuse some of the other gods.
Horus and Seth are uncles and nephews in this genealogy, but are sometimes referred to as brothers, with Horus representing light and day, and Seth representing darkness and night, death.
The battle between Horus and Seth is seen as a struggle between light and darkness, which shows Horus' status as the supreme god.
Later, when Anubis joined the family, Anubis was considered the god of twilight between Horus and Seth.
Before King Menes unified the whole of Egypt, Egypt was divided into Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, maybe Horus was the main god of Upper Egypt, and Seth was the main god of Lower Egypt, the battle between Horus and Seth was actually the unification of Egypt, and finally Horus represented Upper Egypt was victorious, and Horus naturally became the main god.
In the Third Dynasty of Egypt, the worship of the sun god Ra was already very widespread, becoming the almighty god, the creator of everything, the king of the gods, and the father of the pharaohs.
Replaced Horus as the presiding god throughout Egypt. Osiris was later considered the King of Hades, representing rebirth and rising to the status of the supreme god.
The supreme status of one god did not completely decline with the improvement of the status of other gods, and later Horus, La, and Osiris all retained the status of supreme gods, and people in different places and different factions believed in different gods.
Other gods in this genealogy also have ancient origins. The idea that the origin of the world was water and the sky was a woman or a sacred cow was very ancient in Egypt, and the holy water nu and nut were quite ancient gods, and Geb was considered to be the embodiment of the ancient kings.
Isis means king, Nephtis means head of the family, and some believe that Hugh and Nephnut are not native gods of Egypt, but gods of Sultan.
Ra, on the other hand, is the god of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, the head of the god of the Nine Pillars, and is regarded as the sun in the daytime. From the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt, it became the most important god in ancient Egyptian mythology, and after Thebes became the capital of all Egypt, it merged with Amun, the supreme god of Thebes, to form Amunla, who has been the supreme god of Egypt for more than a thousand years.
From the Fifth Dynasty onwards, he was united with the Theban god Amun, becoming the most important god in the Egyptian god lineage.
Ra is a self-generated god who was born from the water of the primordial or a lotus flower, who created Shuhe and Tephnut, Geb and Nut, and humans with tears.
The sun is Ra's whole body, or just his eyes. In Heliopolis, he was also worshipped as the god of the sun, Adon, and the god of the sun, Atum, the god of the sun.
Ra was called Aten in the early morning and Atum at dusk, and later merged with Horus.
Although Ra and Atum are the same deity, Atum is only used on special occasions, he is mainly a symbol of the setting sun, Ra's substitute when he was the creator of Shu and Tephnut, and in some myths, Atum refers only to Atum, who was created by the god Buta. Atum is Heck's father.
Atum is the head of the Nine Pillars and is often represented as a black bull, Monur, who takes the form of a snake, a lizard, a beetle, a lion, a bull, and a bee.
The god Ra patrols the underworld every night in the Sun Boat of the Celestial River, escorted by Seth and Maihan, to prevent the demons of the underworld from invading the world, and during this journey, he appears in the form of Auf Ra or Everra.
The identity of Aemon-Ra, along with Zeus and Jupiter, was recognized by the Greeks and Romans. The Greeks even gave Thebes the name "Theospolis", "the city of Zeus", and Emmonra sometimes had the image of a phoenix.
The symbol of La is a golden disc or a symbol of a circle with a dot in the middle.
Shu, the god of wind and air in ancient Egyptian mythology, one of the gods of the Nine Pillars of Heriopolis, represents order. Its name means "drought, dried up, depleted".
Shushara was created through his breath. The pyramid texts containing the creation myth of Ra and the origin of the birth of the gods also mention how Yatum created Shu:
"Ra, you come high up on the top of the knoll, you rise on the Benben stone in the Benben Mansion of Heriopolis, you spit out Shu, you cough out Tephnut, and you put your arms around them on the arms that serve as symbolic cards."
Tephnut, the god of rain and moisture in ancient Egyptian mythology, one of the gods of the Nine Pillars of Heriopolis, represents disorder, the power that causes food and corpses to decay, she was created by Ra and married her brother Shu, giving birth to Nut, the god of the sky, and Gaib, the god of the earth.
Tephnut is also sometimes considered to be the eye of the sun god, which grows on Ra's forehead, and whenever the sun rises, her eyes are going to breathe flames, burning the enemies of the great god in this regard, Tephnut is the same as Uto, and Upes and Sekhmet are her two variants.
Nut is the goddess of the sky in ancient Egyptian mythology, one of the gods of the Nine Pillars, the mother of the stars, and the anthropomorphism of the sky. She is the daughter of Shu and Tephnut.
In contrast to other mythological gods who often appear in male form, Nut is a goddess who returns to her body after sunset every night and is reborn from her body the next morning.
She swallows and regenerates the stars at the same time. Nut was also the goddess of death, and most sarcophagi depicted her on the inner walls, and the pharaoh would enter her body after death and be reborn soon after.
In the artwork, Nut is portrayed as a god of death supported by Shu and covered by stars; On the other side of the sky is her husband Earth.
Nut married Geb and had Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys.
Geb, is the god of the earth in ancient Egyptian mythology, one of the gods of Heriopolis - the Nine Pillars, he is the anthropomorphism of the earth, in the mural mostly appears in the image of a man with a goose on his head, the ancient Egyptians believed that the earthquake was Geb laughing.
This belief in ancient Egypt differed from other parts of the world, where the god of the earth was often represented as a goddess. Gebu is represented as a goose-headed human body with a green or black body.
Gebu imprisoned the souls of evil people, so that they could not enter heaven, because they were inseparable from their sister Nut and there was no room for the creatures in the world, so his father Shu, the god of air, was ordered by the sun god Ra to separate the two lovers, so it is often seen in Egyptian murals that the goddess who covered the earth with her limbs to form the sky and Gaibu who lay flat to form the earth were separated by their father Shu in a kneeling position, so in some regional myths, the echo is also regarded as the call of Gaibu to separate his beloved wife.
Gab married Nut and had Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys.
Osiris, the king of Hades in ancient Egyptian mythology, is also the god of plants, agriculture and fertility, one of the gods of Heriopolis - the Nine Pillars.
He was an enlightened pharaoh who was murdered by his jealous brother, the desert god Seth, and was resurrected by his illegitimate son Anubis as a mummy.
After that, he became the master of the underworld and the judge of death. He is the giver of civilization, the king of the underworld, and the judge of whether or not a person can receive eternal life after death.
He was the eldest son of Geb, the god of the earth, and Nutt, the goddess of the sky, and he gave birth to Horus with his wife Isis and Anubis with Nephthys.
According to the Book of the Dead, his eldest son was the baboon god Babi, and later, he was united with Saike and Buta to become "Buta Saike Osiris", also known as Khrishav.
Osiris was killed by his brother Seth, and his body was cut into many pieces. Isis and her sister Nephthys retrieved the pieces and made them into wax figures for the priests to worship. Ra ordered Anubis and Thoth to mummify Osiris, who then resurrected him.
From then on, Osiris stayed in Hades to judge the souls of the dead, and was called "Neb-ertcher", which means "king of the edge of the world".
In the underworld "Douai", Osiris compares the souls of the dead with the feathers of truth on the scales. Souls that have been weighted by sins are devoured by Amit, and those who are lighter are sent to Yalu.
This is similar to the legend about Anubis weighing his heart, as well as Marth's feathers.
Osiris taught the people to grow crops and make wine, and was loved by the people, and Seth was jealous of his brother and plotted to kill him.
He secretly ordered a coffin for Osiris, and then held a banquet to invite his relatives and friends, and he announced that if the coffin was suitable for whomever it was suitable, he would give it to him.
Several people tried it, but it didn't fit, so Seth encouraged his brother to give it a try, and as soon as Osiris was lying in the coffin, Seth slammed the lid shut and sealed it.
Seth and his cronies threw the coffin into the Nile and drowned Osiris, causing the Nile to flood once a year.
Isis and her sister Nephthys retrieved Osiris and resurrected him with the help of magical powers.
Before Osiris could take revenge on Seth, Seth killed him again and divided his body into thirteen pieces and hid them in various parts of the continent.
It took Isis years to retrieve the pieces, but not all of them, but she put them back together and resurrected Osiris once again.
This time, Isis carefully hid Osiris until he became pregnant, but Isis's magic did not last long to keep Osiris alive, so Osiris died again.
So the other gods decided to make Osiris king over the dead in Hades, but only until his revenge was cleared.
Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, has sought revenge since he was born. He was secretly raised on Kemnis.
As soon as Horus was strong enough, he met with Seth and fought for a long and bloody one; Eventually, Horus loses an eye, and Seth loses a finger.
This conflict is fought in the presence of other gods.
They eventually developed a crush on Horus and gave him the throne of the country, and Seth was found guilty and exiled. In other legends, the two gods eventually reconciled and took charge of Upper and Lower Egypt respectively.
Isis, the goddess of life, magic, marriage and fertility in ancient Egyptian mythology, is one of the gods of Heriopolis - the Nine Pillars.
She was regarded as a great mother and loyal wife, patron saint of nature and magic, a friend of slaves, sinners, craftsmen, and the oppressed, and she also listened to the prayers of the rich, maidens, nobles, and rulers.
Isis is often described as the mother and protector of Horus, although some legends say that Horus's mother was Hator, also known as the protector of the dead and young children.
Seth, is one of the gods of power, war, deserts, storms and foreign lands in ancient Egyptian mythology, Heriopolis - one of the Nine Pillars.
He protects the caravans in the desert, but at the same time launches sandstorms against them, and he is the second son of Gab and Nut and the husband of Nephthys, who used a ploy to kill his brother Osiris in order to seize the throne, and was defeated by his nephew Horus.
One of Seth's more common nicknames is the "Lord of Power". In a pyramidal text, it is stated that the power of the king is the power of Seth.
As the sun god Ra traveled through the underworld at night, Seth stood by his side, most notably, he fought and killed the evil Serpent of Darkness, Apib, the god of darkness, who attacked Ra every night.
Later, when Seth's brother Osiris became a much more important deity, Seth was seen as the polar opposite of him, as a myth about Seth killing Osiris in a fight led to Seth's becoming the god of evil.
Seth is often compared to Horus, who is also considered the god of the land, and the metal ore from the ground is called the "Bones of Seth".
Nephthys, the patron goddess of houses and the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology, is also the god of fertility, and one of the gods of the Nine Pillars, Heriopolis, who once gave birth to Anubis with his husband Seth behind his back.
"Nephthys" is also the name given to the oldest woman in a family, who may have once been a variant of Bart or Ness.
According to the Xuan God, the gods who enter the path to Hades are all dead gods who have long since died.
Su Yuheng looked at the contents on the slate, and immediately understood that this so-called "Nine Pillar God" seemed to have died out for countless years.
