Chapter 235 Hebrew
On the banks of the Nile, a conversation that changed the fate of two worlds ended.
Isis, the daughter of the god of heaven and earth of Hemenu and the symbol of life, shared her authority with Io and her fate. She finally left a constraint in her power: no one should talk about her, and the names of the gods of foreign lands should be passed down forever. Then she disappeared, leaving the princess of the foreign world alone here.
It was unimaginable for mortals to share the fate and authority of gods, but when Io came with the fate of another world to replace Isis, everything seemed not so difficult. The power derived from the world can naturally give in to the world itself, not to mention that compared with Chaos, the rules of this world are very different.
Unlike the gods of the previous two worlds, in this world wrapped in yellow sand, the gods are not only not immortal, but will even age with the passage of time, and the power of the gods can only fight against it to a certain extent, rather than completely end it. Even their innate divine power can be swallowed up and integrated in the fight.
It is so common in the world of Hemenu that the new god defeats the old god, turns the old god into an incarnation of himself, and then inherits the former's believers, names and authority. This not only reflects the weakness of this world and the disorder of rules, but also makes many things become natural.
Just like now, since Io has the power of Isis and the fate of Isis, she will naturally be regarded as a part of Isis. Maybe the world itself can perceive this difference, but for most of the local gods, they can't tell the difference between them.
They only know that under the pursuit of Osiris, who is rich in plants, the goddess of life finally agreed to marry her brother. Although Isis seems to have changed her appearance, her personality has changed a lot, and she even often says some strange things, but this is not taken to heart by the gods.
According to the decision made by the current Lord of the Gods of Hemenu, the sun god Ra, when Osiris will marry Isis, they will become the kings of the world and the actual rulers of Upper and Lower Egypt. For this reason, the gods gathered in Heliopolis, the birthplace of human faith, to congratulate the union of the brother and sister.
The Nile River basin that crosses the world seems to be welcoming a new owner, and the era will open another chapter. However, just when everything is going on as usual, in the Pantheon, the sun god Ra suddenly woke up from his dream.
··········
Tick...
Tick...
Tick...
"Huh..."
"No——!"
There is no sundial, because Ra is the sun. In the sound of the dripping water, the god woke up from his sleep.
On the highest throne, the golden divine power leaked out unconsciously, and the originally tall and magnificent temple was wiped out inch by inch, and everything returned to nothingness. In this ancient temple, only Ra's body cast like gold and the throne inlaid with gems under him were left.
At the same time, the sun began to shake without warning, and both the sky and the earth were affected. In front of Ra's undisguised power, mortals knelt on the ground and prayed, while the gods looked towards the Pantheon with worry.
The Chaos Serpent had just been killed once, and He had not yet been able to revive again. What on earth could have caused this supreme god to lose his composure?
"Huh - was it just a dream..."
Opening his eyes, Ra took a deep breath on the throne. His ups and downs of his chest gradually calmed down, and his violently fluctuating emotions calmed down again.
As the supreme ruler of a pantheon, Hemenu's supreme master, there was nothing in this world that could make him act like this.
The Hemenu world is not like the Nine Realms and Chaos. There are neither primitive gods who coexist with the world, nor giants and undead who can rival the Aesir. Even the side of the world itself only flashed by at the beginning of creation, leaving no more traces in the world. In this world, Ra Atum, who defeated the previous sun god Atum and turned him into his incarnation, is the only supreme being. Even the symbol of the chaotic side of the world, the immortal giant snake of destruction, Apophis, can only be killed by him again and again.
But at this moment, when he opened his red-gold eyes again, in addition to majesty, there was also confusion and panic hidden in his subconscious.
"... What a strange dream, what is this, is it a revelation from Hemenu?"
After staying quietly on the throne for a while, Ra waved his hand. In silence, a change occurred, the sun outside returned to normal, and the power that was unconsciously leaked was also taken back by him.
At the same time, as if time was flowing backwards, the originally broken temple was restored inch by inch. Or to be more precise, this is a kind of "rebirth". After dealing with these trivial matters and sitting on the high throne, Ra couldn't help but recall his previous dreams.
However, what puzzled him was that the dream that made him fearful and terrified was now blank, and he could not remember what he had dreamed about. The only thing left in his mind was a warning, which seemed to tell him that something terrible was approaching, and His forerunner had already arrived.
"...What a joke, in this world, what else can resist me?"
"Even the world itself must surrender to my power!"
Standing up from the throne, supreme power surged around him. Lachi's golden eyes shone, and everything in the world was taken in by his eyes.
Mortals kneeling on the ground, the gods who were celebrating their marriage, plants and animals, and the back of the world, the giant snake that was gradually reborn in the rolling chaos.
Everything was under his control, without any surprises. He defeated the previous sun, so he would naturally not give the later ones a chance. In today's world, no one can fight him. He is the only master of the world.
"Hmm?"
Ra was very satisfied with this world of human beings that belonged to him as he swept across the land. Although the world seemed a little too small for him at this point, it was a regret that could not be helped.
However, at a certain moment during this inspection, Ra's gaze suddenly stopped.
In Heliopolis, he saw the gods celebrating and saw that they were celebrating the upcoming wedding banquet. This was something Ra had decided on himself, so it did not surprise him. What really stopped Ra's gaze was 'Isis'.
The daughter of the god of heaven and the god of earth, one of the few powerful gods in the world, although the other's appearance seemed to have changed, this was not the reason for Ra's attention. What really attracted him was another breath of life on the other's body.
She had a child. Although Isis's power was hidden from the other gods present, it could not be hidden from Ra's gaze. He keenly noticed that there seemed to be something unusual about the unborn baby.
It was a different blood breath.
"Spontaneous conception... As the goddess of life, it seems understandable?"
With narrowed eyes, Ra did not think that this matter was so simple, but he could not think of the reason for the problem for a while. As for why he could not see the problem of 'Isis', it was easy to understand.
Isis had already existed, so she could share her fate and power with the princess of a foreign land, but Horus, the son that the goddess of life should have given birth to, had not yet been born. Therefore, although the child in Io's belly successfully replaced part of Horus's fate, it did not inherit his power at all.
Without power, his blood breath that was incompatible with the world was naturally exposed to Ra.
"Dream... omen... and this newborn?"
The low voice echoed in the empty hall, and Ra had no expression on his face. Although he was conceited, he was not stupid, just like the battle with the chaos serpent Apophis, he actually did not need the assistance of other gods.
That giant snake was another manifestation of the weakness of the Hemenu world - His order was unstable, and the chaos could not be suppressed. Therefore, unlike Chaos's quiet abyss Tartarus, the chaotic power in this world condensed into a physical entity and turned into the giant snake Apophis, also known as Apop.
It had no reason, and its only instinct was to destroy the world. Moreover, it was immortal. No matter how many times it was destroyed, it would be reborn after a period of time.
Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of his rule over the world, Ra would go deep into the underground and the chaotic side of the world every once in a while to kill and disperse this immortal demon snake so that it could not harm the world. And every time before, the reason why he asked those so-called powerful gods to go with him naturally had his purpose.
Let the gods witness his power and Apophis's power, and then understand the indispensability of Ra and the insignificance of the gods; at the same time, he can also grasp the strength of other gods through fighting, and not give them the opportunity to surpass themselves.
The gods of Hemenu will grow old, even if Ra has already stood on a higher limit, he has grasped the essence of the sun's [rebirth] [new life], and can avoid this aging in other ways, but this is not a reason for him to be careless. So no matter whether this newborn has any problems, he must make him have no problems.
So now, it's time for him to make a choice.
"Kill him, or devour him? No... it doesn't make sense."
"He is still too weak, and I can't even see the possibility of him being strong - two powerful pillar gods (Egypt's alternative main god title) actually gave birth to an existence without authority, which is really ridiculous... But maybe this is his special manifestation?"
Still expressionless, Ra did not want to use this simplest way to solve this disaster, because although the gods of Hemenu can swallow each other, it also has a characteristic: swallowing a weak existence will only reduce its own strength. It would be better to keep only one or two of the most powerful priesthoods than to devour all the gods into one.
Therefore, in today's world, there are almost no gods worth annexing by Ra. After all, in this world, except for the primordial water that symbolizes the origin of all things, the sun is the only supreme one.
Moreover, Ra doubted that if this unborn child really symbolized a threat, then swallowing him might not be able to avoid this disaster. He needed another solution, a more appropriate solution.
"Maybe I can consider the problem from another angle. He can die... but this kind of threat still needs an 'inheritor'."
"I need a visible 'threat', not invisible worries. And his specialness... comes from blood."
After thinking for a long time, feeling the blood breath that was incompatible with the world, Ra finally made a decision. Sitting on the throne, he looked at the place where the marriage was held, and then spoke loudly:
"Shu, come to see me."
The next moment, Ra's voice reached the ears of every god in the world. All the gods heard the call of the supreme god Ra to Shu, and Shu immediately used his authority over wind and atmosphere, transformed into an invisible fluid and rushed towards the Pantheon.
"Respected God Ra, what do you want me to do?"
Stepping into the Pantheon, Shu looked at the sun god who had suddenly released his aura not long ago, and all kinds of speculations surged in his mind.
Perhaps the Chaos Serpent had undergone new changes, or perhaps he was going to bless the newlyweds, both were possible. However, Ra's words that followed made her open her eyes wide.
"Shu, go and convey my decree to all gods and people:"
"Isis's eldest son is guilty, and so is she. She will grow old like a mortal after giving birth to her offspring, and the same will be true for her offspring. But death is not the end of sin, their sins continue in their blood and will never end."
On the high throne, Ra calmly announced the death of a powerful god and the birth of a group of sinners.
"That sinner... his bloodline must not be cut off, but it should not flourish. His descendants must suffer and become servants of the Upper and Lower Egyptians... From this moment on, until the end of time, this is the final judgment made by me, Ra Atum."
It is not a question, and there is no room for negotiation. This is the power of a supreme god in his world.
In the past, it is not that no gods dared to go against Ra's will to a certain extent, but they all knew that this was only because the sun god did not care about that little thing.
Although he has the fierce side of the sun, he also has the gentle side of the sun. In many cases, he will not only use his own power to achieve his goals. But now, Shu feels the supreme authority of the other party, and she completely understands Ra's determination and will on this matter.
'I didn't expect that a wedding banquet that is about to be held would turn out like this... But why is this? '
There was some sigh in his heart, but at this moment, in the Pantheon, Shu still bowed his head slightly and saluted respectfully to Ra.
"Supreme Ra, your will will be executed. No matter in the past or in the future, as long as the sun rises as promised, this is the truth that humans and gods cannot violate."
………
The early arrival, the rigid fate, the malicious sun... everything, made the descendants of the God King from Chaos become criminals in one day.
He should have been glorious and sacred. He could have become the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing the victory of the Olympian pantheon, symbolizing that they defeated the Egyptian gods with the support of the world. But now, all the good things have become dust, and they can never happen again.
In this land covered with yellow sand, he will be destined to live here as a mortal. Without the glory and status that the descendants of the gods should have, he will spend his life in ridicule and pain.
However, although his fate has been changed, his bloodline is still destined to continue forever in Egypt. Since the Supreme Ra needs this different bloodline to exist in front of him, they have neither the possibility of leaving nor the chance of extinction.
Of course, in this world where only the two sides of the river have vitality, they originally had nowhere to go.
So the descendants of the son of the God King, when they were abandoned by the gods worshipped by the Egyptians, when they became servants and slaves, they could only place their hopes on those unfamiliar names - the unknown gods who had always been thinking about them but never responded when Isis, who was gradually aging after being deposed by the Supreme God Ra, was still alive.
Time is like flowing water, one generation after another died, and one generation after another continued. Gradually, these people who struggled to survive on the banks of the Nile River have forgotten the past and history. They don't know why they were convicted, but the worship of these unknown gods has become a part of their culture.
In ancient legends, their ancestors traveled a long distance that neither humans nor gods could imagine, and came to the basin of the Nile River from a place flowing with milk and honey. They multiplied and lived here, suffering from hardships, but their former homeland was so beautiful and peaceful.
So they called themselves "transmigraters" and "transcendents", which not only commemorated their origins, but also looked forward to a day in the future when they could return to their homeland along the path their ancestors took, to the heaven-given land where they could live freely.
They used this name to replace the title of "sinners". Gradually, even the local Egyptians began to call these sinners who were despised by God by this name. However, they did not recognize the so-called "transmigraters", let alone their so-called ancestors and culture, so they only took its transliteration as the name of the sinners.
The transliteration of "transmigraters" is called "Hebrew".
