In his later years, when his life was coming to an end, Akhenaton began to fear death. He was afraid of the feeling of his body weakening little by little, and felt that death was constantly approaching him. Looking back on his glorious life, he couldn't help but think about it. I want this to end.
He recalled the tall figure he met when he was a child, the archangel Pharos who held his hand and told him that he would become the king of men, and the divine envoy who granted him golden blood and a divine sword. The man who imparted the knowledge of gods to himself hopes to see that man again. Even if he dies, he hopes to go to the Kingdom of God after death and become an immortal existence like that man!
Akhenaten began to build a temple of the goddess of light, Mary. Like a devout believer, he knelt before the statue of the goddess and prayed every day.
In the last two years of his life, he used the gold he collected and asked his most skilled craftsmen to cast a pure gold statue of the goddess of light. He mobilized the whole country to build a temple even more luxurious than his palace, announcing that the light was coming. The divine religion is the state religion, and he is also a believer of the goddess of light.
And behind every statue of the Goddess of Light, there is an envoy wearing a mask and holding a scepter. That is the Archangel Pharos under the Goddess of Light, and he is also the man who gave the King of Light divine enlightenment and divine blood!
There are a large number of priests in white robes in the temple, as well as pure goddesses, serving the gods. The golden king Akhenaten prayed for several years and spent all kinds of methods, but he did not see the gods until he died. That night!
In the large palace, a blazing fire burned in the fireplace, and the floor was covered with a bearskin carpet tanned by rare white bears. Akhenaton sat on a lounge chair with a gold crown inlaid with gems.
Akhenaten has white hair, his face is full of wrinkles, and there is a layer of white shadow in his eyes. He gently wipes the divine sword that the divine envoy gave him back then. He was a heroic lion who conquered the world. Now he no longer has the strength to wield his sword in battle.
Akhenaton sighed, but in a daze, he saw a shadow walking towards him. Akhenaton immediately raised his head. Even a twilight lion still has the power of a king.
"Akhenaton, why do you want to see me?"
Akhenaton saw a figure wearing a white robe and a mask standing in front of him. The white mask with sun patterns and the familiar body made Akhenaton feel excited. .
"Is it you? Are you really here? Or am I hallucinating?" Akhenaton's voice was a little hoarse, but he was extremely excited!
Lu Zhiyu stood in front of Akhenaton, his eyes a little sad. The young boy back then has become like this now. The soft knife of time is the most terrifying thing: "Akhenaton, you have done a very good job. , you are the first king of mankind, and you will eventually be recorded in the history books of mankind!"
Akhenaten shouted: "But this is not what I want!"
Lu Zhiyu said doubtfully: "That's not what you said back then. This destiny is your own choice. To become the king of mankind, you have power, status, reputation, beauty, money, etc., you have them all. You What else is there to be dissatisfied with?”
Akhenaten looked at Lu Zhiyu, and stood up tremblingly. His eyes looked hotly at Lu Zhiyu's young body and strong palms. After so many years, the years have not left a trace of trace on Lu Zhiyu's body. trace.
"But I will still die. When I grow old, I realize that all this is just passing smoke. Only you, only gods, are eternal! I also want to be like you, I want eternity life!"
Lu Zhiyu burst into laughter and said exactly the same words as before: "You are too greedy!"
Akhenaten walked towards Lu Zhiyu and said angrily: "No, I have completed the mission you gave me, and you should reward me!"
Lu Zhiyu shook his head: "We did not give you any mission. The choice of destiny is in your hands. You chose your own destiny. I once told you that the gods gave you life and wisdom. , has given you powerful abilities, and has also given you a fertile farmland and the entire world. Do you still need to satisfy all your desires and requirements?"
Lu Zhiyu looked into Akhenaten's eyes: "The gods are not your slaves. We have left the choice of destiny in your own hands. Since you are dissatisfied, you should find a way to change yourself. destiny instead of blaming everything on the gods.”
Lu Zhiyu sighed: "You have never done anything for us. Everything you have done is for yourself, but greed makes you dissatisfied. What you can't get is the best!"
Akhenaten immediately shouted, looking around, dancing, with a crazy look in his eyes: "I can exchange things, no matter what, money, power, beauty, anything, as long as you give me a young body!"
Lu Zhiyu said with a chuckle: "Everything you have is given to you by us. You want to exchange the things I gave you with me?"
Lu Zhiyu had no intention of continuing the conversation with Akhenaton. He turned around and his body turned into a ripple and disappeared. When Akhenaton saw this, he immediately chased after him: "No, you can't leave. I'm done." If you have fulfilled your mission, you can't do this. You owe me this, you liars, liars!"
Akhenaten roared crazily in the hall, angrily destroying everything in sight, and finally fell to the ground like a child: "Don't go, you don't..."
At this time, the guards outside hurriedly rushed in and saw Akhenaten lying on the ground. His eyes had lost distance and he died in his palace. He was still holding tightly in his arms the gift that Lu Zhiyu had given him. Excalibur, his eyes were looking at a mural on the wall. It was a scene of a man giving a bag of grain seeds and a sword to a young man under the sunset!
"King, the king is dead!"
The guards screamed in panic and ran out. News of the death of the Golden King Akhenaton immediately spread throughout the Golden City. The transition of royal power continued. Akhenaton's son took his place and continued the Golden Dynasty. Go down.
Lu Zhiyu suddenly wanted to visit the former Akhenaton. He had to say that decades had changed a lot. The feeling of standing outside the world and inside the world were completely different.
The immortality that Akhenaten envied was simply because the time flow rate in which Lu Zhiyu lived was different from his. Lu Zhiyu did not have the immortality he imagined.
But seeing Akhenaton so fragile in the face of time, Lu Zhiyu was also shocked and horrified by life and death: "Can I really live forever?"
