Amon replied: "I have experienced brand-new power, which is completely different from pure physical and divine arts. It is as if a newborn baby is growing, and strength is indistinguishable from each other in the process of growth. This requires a stable environment to experience warmth. Yang, I'd better stay in the territory and practice, so that I can unlock the seal for you as soon as possible."

Schrödinger: "So, I'm too embarrassed to rush you. The warmth of strength can't be impatient, so I'll stay here with you."

If no other factors were considered, the best time for Amon to leave the Eju Empire was after Moses arrived on the Duke Plain. According to the speed of those tribesmen walking across the wilderness, it would take at least half a year. Amon tried his best to arrange everything, but he was not fearless and anxious. Apart from being a little worried about Maria's situation, the general was calm and unhurried.

According to Schrödinger, the strength of Amon's cultivation of one body and two sides breaks through the eighth level, which will be completely different from other cultivation methods in the world, just like a brand new beginning. Amon didn't quite understand it at first, but when he gradually recovered the strength of the blood in his body, he realized what was going on.

In the silent night, Amon closed his eyes and practiced magic meditation as usual, but what he recovered was the power in the blood of his body, which merged with mana and grew together. A bow quietly floated in front of him, it was Gilgamesh's divine bow that once shocked the world, the bow string was pulled apart soundlessly, and an invisible arrow of energy was condensed. But Amon didn't shoot the arrow, otherwise the house would collapse, he was just demonstrating.

Then the bowstring was retracted, the vacant arrow disappeared, and the divine bow spun, as if being caught by an invisible hand and then gently floated back to Amon's leg. Amon opened his eyes in the darkness, sighed and said, "So, I should have understood."

He reached out and took out a short knife out of thin air. It was the most common weapon in Amon's collection. It was the one-foot-long small hunting knife given to him by Mayor Dusty when he left Duke Town. . The knife flew out like a fish swimming in the air, exuding a dazzling brilliance, cutting out a cross arc in the air, and then spinning rapidly to form a circle-shaped shield. It flew into Amon's hands.

He muttered to himself in the dark: "This is the last sword that Enkidu shot at me, but that sword was much stronger, and he fell before he flew in front of me."

Amon used to cultivate the power of one body and two sides, but in real terms, he was still just a warrior and a magician at the same time, and he was only able to pick up weapons and fight while using divine spells or casting divine spells in combat. But the situation has changed at this moment. He is clearly using the weapon to cast divine magic, and at the same time is using divine magic to control the weapon. These powers are no longer separate from each other.

Unless the bow of Gilgamesh is born with divine power or the power of a great warrior, it cannot be drawn at all. But Amon didn't hold it in his hand, he just used space magic combined with energy magic to draw the bow. At the same time, if he wasn't a great magician, he couldn't condense the arrow. Amon didn't combine these two powers, but naturally used one power.

This is different from pure divine arts and physical arts, and it is not a simple combination. This makes Amon's methods much more sophisticated than before, and there will no longer be a distinction between physical arts and divine arts in future cultivation. Only individuals are good at it. focus. Amon recalled Enkidu's final battle against the black vortex and lightning in the sky. The incomplete broadsword in his hand turned into a misty golden light, not because the speed was too fast to dazzle his eyes.

Enqidu is a pure warrior. He has only practiced physical skills. When he reached the peak of level nine achievement and was about to break through the end, he experienced the fusion of power. It is hard to call it physical or divine. This kind of power has existed from the very beginning. Physical and divine arts are just two sides of one body. A more accurate name should be two sides as one. "One body" is its core. All kinds of divine arts or physical arts in the world are just one body. Thousands of faces.

Amon thought that the power of one body and two sides he cultivated was the correct path, but now he finally understood why Schrödinger kept saying "the power of one body and two sides". Amon actually took a big detour, because Bell, who guided him, only explored halfway. This detour was not for cultivation. His efforts were not wasted at all, but for comprehension. He finally took this road. pass.

If Amon hadn't cultivated the power of the so-called two sides of one body, perhaps he would not realize it suddenly until the state like Enkidu's last moment of life.

He closed his eyes again and fell into deep meditation, completely forgetting everything outside his body and immersing himself in the spiritual world. If he could comprehend it from the very beginning, he would have had more methods, but Amon's knowledge and experience cannot come from nothing. The influence of concepts is not fully understood until today.

Amon recalled the miner's skill in Duke Town, which was actually the power imparted by the gods, regardless of so-called divine skills and physical skills. He carefully recalled the path he had traveled step by step, starting from the simplest first-level achievement, how to directly cultivate the power of one body, without the concept of divine arts and physical arts, and only focusing on one's own talent.

His path of cultivation until now is finally clear, and his comprehension is subversive, even overturning the previous conclusions, and it is a kind of negation of negation. He also discovered one thing, awakening this kind of power is much more difficult than simply awakening the power of divine and physical skills, and it is also more difficult than awakening the power of two sides of one body.

Who can be awakened to this power? There is one situation that does not need to be judged, that is, those who have achieved advanced achievements, whether they are great magicians or great warriors, they have this qualification to obtain the existing achievements. It is nothing more than taking a different path and embarking on this path again It is only necessary to comprehend and confirm, and complete the missing training.

The old lunatic could also walk on this path back then. Although he still has to pass various tests and has little hope of success, at least he can understand the goal he has been pursuing throughout his life. Amon thought of Gelie again. Gelie once said that he and Enqidu were trying the other two paths respectively, and Amon was proving the power of two sides of one body, and maybe they could unlock the secret of becoming a god. It doesn't make sense.

The path explored and attempted by the old lunatic, Bell, and Amon successively can be said to be unique, and they are constantly approaching the secret of becoming a god, until today they finally comprehended the origin.

In the darkness, Amon forgot the world outside his body, even forgot his own existence, but he burst into tears silently, silently praying to Nietzsche and Bell, it was gratitude and blessing. The efforts of three generations of geniuses, summarizing research based on the experience of countless geniuses, finally solved the mystery, but the answer has always existed in the world.

For the next few days, General Amon thanked guests behind closed doors, and even the servants around him couldn't see him. Only John knew where he was. He lived in the village built by Moses and others, and began to practice strength again from the lowest level of achievement. It is not so much practice as experience and mastery, because his realm has already broken through.

He only had John as his disciple by his side, so he called John over and said, "I once taught you the miner's skills in Duke Town, and taught you the most basic divine art meditation, so you have integrated the restless power to become a great master." Warrior. Later, I taught you the power of one body and two sides, and asked you to practice divine arts and physical arts separately. But today, I want to point out the real way for you, give up all prejudices, follow my instructions, and use what you have learned All kinds of powers are cultivated in this way."

John was pleasantly surprised: "God Amon, are you going to awaken another power for me?"

Amon shook his head and said: "It's not another kind of power, it's what you cultivated in the past, but it points to the true source. It is very difficult to awaken this kind of power, but for those who have become great magicians or great warriors, only It needs to be rediscovered and realized.”

Amon passed on his latest understanding to John, and John asked another thing: "God Amon, Themis Fei is a mid-level warrior, can I also cultivate this kind of power?"

Amon smiled and replied: "Not everyone can succeed. She has two choices. One is to continue to practice physical skills. After becoming a great warrior, I will guide her to practice this kind of power; the other is Now hold a power awakening ceremony for her, and if it succeeds, then practice directly from the beginning."

John was surprised and delighted and said, "God Amon, have you agreed?"

Amon nodded: "Yes, but I won't teach her directly. You can teach her what you have confirmed. I need someone who can help me hold the power awakening ceremony, and this person must It can only be done after the strength is confirmed to the seventh-level achievement. You should go to practice first, and the awakening of Themis Fei's power will be done by yourself."

The latest decree of the Imperial Pharaoh Eraht quickly reached the city-states, according to an oracle. After all, there are only a small number of people who know as well as Amon, and the oracle announced by His Majesty the Pharaoh shocked the whole country—

"In order to protect the empire, the great king god Horus was injured in the battle with the evil foreign gods, and he has returned to the kingdom of heaven to heal his wounds and retire. The father of the gods, An- Ra, send down the glory to protect the Ecu, and Seth becomes the new guardian of the kingship."

It is not easy to change people's beliefs for thousands of years, but Pharaoh ordered An-Ra to be promoted to the main god of the temples, and An-Ra is the father of the gods in the myths and legends of Ecu. If the pharaoh wanted to change the faith in the temple, and it was logical, he had no other choice. In Ecu mythology, Seth was also the guardian of the kingship when the empire was created.

This does not immediately change people's habits, but only clarifies the change of the main god with the laws of the world. Another decree promulgated by Pharaoh Eraht according to the oracle really surprised Amon.

The decree clearly declares that An-Ra is the "only god" in the world, while all other gods were called "angels" in the past, and Seth's identity is "the leader of the angels, guarding the ecu for the gods." Ordinary people will react for a while, but what does this mean? Pharaoh not only gave Allah the status of the supreme god, but also became the only legal god. He changed the name of other gods to angels, and Seth became the most important angel. , actually holds the status of the original Horus.

Schrödinger was also one of the "gods" to which the Jiulian God System belonged back then, and she had never even met An-La, the ancient father of the gods had long since retired. Subtle changes have taken place in the status of the gods in the Jiulian god system. An-Ra has become the only supreme god, while the rest of the gods, regardless of their age, are all under Seth, and Seth has become the de facto master of the Jiulian god. The main god of the department.

Not only that, because the Ecu decree only recognizes Allah as "the only god", the gods of other pantheons also become "false gods". All the gods in the Jiulian God System except An-La also lost their titles of gods and changed their names.

Amon had another thought about this matter, he even thought of himself. The disciples called him God Amon, and Moses and others regarded him as the only god Arhat. If one day he becomes a god beyond the realm of immortality, then the disciples who follow him on this path can also become gods, this will be a new god system.

So how can the belief in maintaining this pantheon be prevented from collapsing conflicts like the Anuna enlightenment pantheon or the Jiulian pantheon? The "One God" decree promulgated by Pharaoh Eraht provided a solution. This should not have been completely imagined by the Pharaoh out of thin air. He must have accepted the guidance of a certain oracle, and at the same time had a very clear realistic motivation.

If it is really related to the oracle, the gods will not do inexplicable things, and they must symbolize something. Unfortunately, this is not understood by the current Amon, and even Schrödinger can't tell.

When the new pharaoh succeeded to the throne, in addition to issuing oracles and the latest national decrees, the first specific allusion turned out to be aimed at the imperial general Amon who lived in seclusion in the fiefdom. Inexplicably, Amon got another "reward". To the west of his current territory, Pharaoh awarded him another fief.

This kind of reward is actually not very meaningful. The territory of the Eju Empire is very wide, and many wildernesses without water irrigation are not suitable for people to live in, and it is not worth using a large number of people to develop them. The west of Amon's territory beyond the scope of the river valley is a wilderness that has been uninhabited since ancient times, and the place beyond Mount Horeb is a desert.

The land fief was just a means, and Pharaoh took this opportunity to give Amon a new title "to reflect the glory of Allah, to protect the upper and lower Ejus, to guard the dignity of the empire, and to praise the great generals of the nations". Comparing with his original title, "the great god Horus favors, protects the upper and lower eju, guards the dignity of the empire, inherits the glory of Allah, and praises the great generals of all nations", we can see the subtle changes.
