Chapter 336: Three lives and all things

Amon asked, "Which two situations?"

Pythagoras replied: "The first is that some of my disciples have transcended eternal life and entered the Olympus heaven. In this case, Zeus will be passive. I can decide when to return to heaven and create my own. The result is unknown. The second is that Zeus verified a higher realm and made the request, which also means that he approved my vow, so I will also return to the Olympus Heaven and integrate my world into it. "

Amon couldn't help but nodded and said: "In the latter case, it seems that Zeus has the upper hand, but in fact you have won too. Because the Olympus Heaven finally announced the way to transcend eternal life to the world, which was your great wish back then , This apocalypse is really mysterious and unspeakable! And Zeus did not lose, he transformed the Olympus heaven into a fairyland and became the real god of the gods... Mr. Pythagoras, since you have traveled far away from Kunlun , Tianzhu, what is the unique enlightenment?"

Amon was asking for advice, and his attitude seemed quite humble. Pythagoras used to be Plato's teacher, so he was Amon's teacher. Even Amon's most respected sage, Aristotle, once studied under Plato.

Pythagoras had no reservations in front of Amon, and replied frankly: "In the eyes of the world, my most important achievement is mathematics. But people here should understand that I am just teaching them how to view the world. Everything has Its origin and the law of change, so that we can create the world. I once heard the Supreme Being say that 'Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things'... "

Amon interjected in surprise, "Have you ever met the Supreme Master?"

Pythagoras sighed with regret: "I have never seen him, and it is a pity that I passed by this sage. But I have read the longevity formula he left in Kunlun. Although it is not the same as what I practiced The original power of the source is the guidance of another system, but it also leads to the transcendent eternal life, which is too long to call it longevity. What I have vowed to do, the sages from afar have already done it, and they have done it.

According to the words of the Supreme Being, one is the mother of all things, the origin of all wisdom and existence in the world; the other is opposition and negation, two sides of one body, and the law of change of things; the third is the face and form of all things, as we see to the world. Since then, I have thought more, described the world with numbers, and taught disciples here. "

Amon laughed and said, "You also told your disciples that the soul can be immortal and can be reincarnated. What you said is reincarnation instead of new life. Is there any difference?"

Pythagoras replied: "Reincarnation is the reincarnation of the soul that has not been transcended, and rebirth is the choice of the gods, because the gods can re-enter the world for reincarnation practice. The two situations seem to be the same, I just use different names. In fact, the soul of the detached person cannot be reincarnated, and if the god dies, it will cease to exist."

Amon frowned slightly, and thought: "I have never noticed this difference, and I have also thought about whether there will be a new life after the death of the soul? Today you made it clear to me that for mortals, it is not a new life but a reincarnation .”

Pythagoras: "This is when passing through the endless trials of life, you have a different view on everything you experience. You can regard those experiences as the experiences of countless beings in the world, or as the experiences of your own soul... Ah Mr. Meng, can I ask you a question, can you see their past and future lives?"

Pythagoras raised a finger to point out the curtain, looked through the curtain and the door, and pointed to the two disciples standing outside the door. Amon suddenly felt something, and remembered a detail of the discussion with Gou Mang in the rose garden. At that time, he also talked about the issue of past lives and future lives, and Jumang pointed to Wendy and quietly replied: "She is the afterlife of her past life, the past life of her future life, but does she know? The so-called past life and future life are visible to everyone, There is no need for supernatural powers, the meaning is like this."

Amon did not answer Pythagoras' question, but suddenly asked: "Have you seen the infinite light?"

Pythagoras: "I have not seen the Infinite Light himself, but I have heard his disciples recite scriptures."

Amon smiled: "So that's the case. No wonder you preach the theory of immortality and reincarnation in the manor. But the belief you preach is to explain the immortal gods and reincarnated mortals. The cultivation of the original power is consistent."

Pythagoras also said with a smile: "I am the god of the Olympus pantheon, I am just learning from it, confirming it, and integrating it into my own system."

Amon nodded and said, "I was fortunate enough to see the appearance of Infinite Light in the human world, and I also communicated with his disciples. Mr. Pythagoras, what else have you learned from Infinite Light?"

Pythagoras replied with a smile, "Commande."

Some people call the group established by Pythagoras the Pythagoras School, while others think that the Pythagoras Manor is like a mysterious group of monks because people here have to abide by many strange rules. This is the discipline of the group, such as not to eat beans, not to leave the imprint of the pot on the ashes and so on.

Pythagoras explained Amon in the witty sayings. Some of these precepts have profound meanings, but it is difficult to explain clearly to the disciples who have just joined the group, so they imposed discipline constraints. The immeasurable light transmits the Dharma, and the disciples must also take the precepts, just like the oath of the gods to join the gods. The meaning of some precepts is multi-layered, and the disciples cannot fully understand them.

For example, Infinite Light allows disciples to refrain from killing and accumulate merits in the world. This is not only doing good deeds. When the final test comes, whether it is transcending eternal life or reincarnating in samsara, people will understand another meaning of it. Faced with "the question of fate and the judgment of the end" when transcending eternal life, and entering the "light state of the bardo" when passing away, the soul will be reflected by what one has done in this life.

There are also some precepts that seem to have no real meaning, just some boring regulations, but they are not useless, and even very useful. Joining this group requires "purification of the soul", but it is difficult for people to see their own souls clearly, so how can they purify their hearts? At this time, it is often necessary to use some external forms to integrate into daily words and deeds.

Amon remembered the Ten Commandments he had established with the people of Salem through Moses as an Arhat, and the intention was probably the same. He imprinted a message into the soul of Pythagoras, told about his feelings, and answered his understanding of the relevant questions. He can't just simply ask for advice, today's meeting is also a kind of mutual exchange.

Amon said again: "You let the disciples understand the laws and connections of all things, and express them in numbers, but it is inexhaustible."

Pythagoras explained: "It is impossible for people to surpass their own knowledge and the era they live in. This will be the inheritance accumulated by generations. People can know the world, but it does not mean that they have mastered the world. We They often think they are the masters of the world, but they are actually slaves to desires. Even if they have reached the end of human desires, they are still bound by them.

Isn’t that the situation of Creator God? So I don't want to be a creator god, neither do you and Zeus, but Allah and Anu will choose to leave. Gods are like this, let alone mortals? Generations of people have opened their eyes to understand the world. Many people think that what they grasp is the truth, trying to deceive the eyes of the world. The same is true for the believers you and I guide in the world. They may just think they believe in you. "

Hearing what Pythagoras said, Amon also showed a wry smile, and suddenly looked up through the curtain to look out the door. Someone came, and Magus said outside the door: "Sir, you can't go in, Mr. Pythagoras is talking with a guest."

The man replied, "I am Zeus."

Enkes said: "I was just about to ask what your name is. Teacher Pythagoras has told you that someone will come to visit. Please wait a moment, I will inform you and see if it is convenient for the teacher to see you."

At this time Pythagoras said loudly: "Let Zeus come in, we are already waiting for him."

The two disciples opened the door and said to Zeus, "You can go in."

Zeus strode into the room, raised the curtain and came to the table. Pythagoras waved calmly: "Father of the gods, are you here? Please sit down."

There are three stools beside this table, Amon and Pythagoras are sitting on the left and right, and the middle stool happens to be reserved for Zeus. Zeus sat down angrily, and said unceremoniously to Amon: "You are killing so much in Delphi, the holy land of Olympus! Even if you are killing a mortal Aesop in public in the temple! Antonio is enough! What do you do to the gods of Olympus?"

Amon replied unhurriedly: "Zeus, you don't have to be so angry. I was indeed the first to start the scuffle in the mountain, but if I didn't do it, I would be surrounded by a large array of divine arts. They set up an ambush late at night Xi, do you still want me to be captured without a fight?"

Zeus: "As the lord of the kingdom of heaven, you should also know how to solve problems between the gods. Your behavior in the Temple of Delphi has violated the conditions of cooperation with me. The gods ordered the envoys to stop you on the road, It's nothing more than wanting to make a new agreement with you, but you didn't choose to negotiate at all, but directly shot and killed!"

Amon sneered and said, "They want to make a new covenant with me only because I still have the qualifications to negotiate. If I don't have the ability, do you think those envoys will be soft on me? The reason why you are angry is because I The reaction of the gods was beyond the expectations of the gods. As the lord of the heaven, I dare to fight like this. Although those angels are mortals, they directly threaten and challenge me. Of course I can kill them. Even the gods behind the scenes , meeting me is the same result!"

Zeus yelled angrily: "But this is the holy place of Olympus!"

According to the ancient agreement between the gods, the gods are usually not allowed to directly attack mortals, unless the mortals directly challenge and offend the gods. And the gods are not allowed to enter the domain of other gods without authorization, unless they are allowed or invited. I think Amon quietly came to the Heaton Peninsula as an ordinary driver, but Zeus found him and took the opportunity to discuss the terms of cooperation.

Now that Amon killed the envoy in public in the temple, it not only meant that his cooperation with Zeus was terminated, but also angered the gods of Olympus. Then he was an unwelcome person here, and the gods sent envoys to block the way, which meant that a new covenant would be established between the kingdom of angels and the kingdom of Olympus, but Amon directly killed the envoys.

Pythagoras suddenly interjected: "Zeus, I want to remind you that the Anuna enlightenment system and the Jiulian system are no longer there!"

This sage pointed out a very crucial issue. There was indeed an agreement between the ancient gods in Tianshu Continent, but Amon used the kingdom of heaven to integrate the Kingdom of Anuna Qi and the Kingdom of Nine Unions, and established A whole new pantheon, the angels accept new guidance. There was no inheritance of the original agreement between this god system and the Olympus Heavenly Kingdom.

The only agreement Amon made with Zeus was the previous cooperation. At present, this kind of cooperation has been suspended. In theory, Amon is not bound by any vows and promises here, and only needs to bear the consequences for his actions.

The gods of Olympus ordered the envoys to set up an ambush on the outskirts of Delphi in order to force Amon, the lord of the heaven, to sign a new covenant. As a result, Amon didn't buy it and went all the way into the Pythagoras manor . Now that Zeus is here, the two lords of heaven need to have a good talk. Should they abide by the ancient tradition between the pantheons, or make a new promise

Zeus said in a deep voice, "Amon, we need to have a good talk."

Amon said indifferently: "I didn't leave here, but I visited Mr. Pythagoras, just waiting for you to come. I just want to ask one thing, you know that Ya Luna and others are doing Why acquiesce in destroying the cooperation between you and me?"

Zeus didn't answer, but Pythagoras reminded: "Amon, because you did what I wanted to do back then, Zeus had no choice."

This sage is really telling the truth! After Amon left Macedonia, he issued an oracle as the god of Eju, telling the secrets of the original power of the priests of the temples, and letting people know that there is a way to transcend eternal life in the world. This is what Prometheus wanted to do back then.

The reason why Zeus talked about cooperation with Amon at the beginning was mainly because Amon was also the lord of the kingdom of heaven. Through the expansion of Olympus God's Domain, Zeus wants to confirm a higher realm and become the real god of gods. And the sign of the final confirmation is the ability to merge with another heaven. In fact, he has two choices, Prometheus in the god system and Amon outside the god system.

If Zeus is sure, he can ask Pythagoras at any time, let him return to the heaven to restore his identity as Prometheus, try to integrate another heaven, and achieve a fairyland. This is one of Zeus' choices. Zeus can also use the expansion of Olympus God's Domain to finally annex and integrate Amon's God's Domain in the human world. If Amon's kingdom of angels still wants to guide believers in the world, they must go to Zeus to negotiate, then Zeus can also take the opportunity to ask Amon made a request, this is the second choice.

There is a conflict between Zeus and Prometheus, and he is more willing to cooperate with Amon, because Zeus is not willing to give up the secrets controlled by the gods and tell mortals the way to transcend eternal life. But after Amon left Macedonia, the latest oracle was promulgated, and Zeus had no choice. Whether it is Prometheus or Amon, it is the same to him. He must truly allow the "fire" to spread to the human world in order to integrate their heaven.

The relationship between Zeus and Prometheus was just an internal conflict within the Olympus pantheon, and the appearance of the Pythagoras manor meant that they could reach a new compromise. But after Amon promulgated the oracle, the conflict between him and Zeus became a conflict between the two gods, and it was almost irreconcilable.

There is a secret, and only when everyone keeps it together, can each other gain the greatest benefit. Once it is made public by one party, the situation of the other party will become very passive. For example, Amon told believers that mortals can transcend eternal life and come to his kingdom of heaven, but Zeus did not do so. Do people in the world prefer to believe in Zeus or Amon? The answer is self-evident!

If other conditions remain the same, Amon will gain more and more followers in the world. Although people who believe in Amon will not necessarily be luckier than those who believe in Zeus, and most transcendent immortals still need the direct guidance of the gods, but for the competition for the domain of the source of divine power, Amon will have absolute attraction, and even Hack in another way.

The appearance of Aesop in Midori City is such a sign. Therefore, the gods took the opportunity of framing Aesop to attract Amon's revenge, and took this opportunity to terminate his cooperative relationship with Zeus. Knowing this, Zeus still acquiesced in the actions of the gods, indicating that he did not want to cooperate with Amon anymore.

The existence of Amon has threatened the interests of the gods of Olympus. There are two ways to deal with Amon, one is to eliminate the inheritance of this god system in the world, and the other is to force Amon to make a new agreement between the gods.

At this time Zeus said the truth: "Amon, you are useless to me here."

Yes, integrating Amon's kingdom of angels is no longer another choice for Zeus. Prometheus in the god system already has the realm of the lord of the heaven. Zeus wants to have the opportunity to achieve a fairy world, and he can prove it at any time when he has cultivated to the point. So since the cooperative relationship between him and Amon has ended, the problem he faces is the negotiation between the two gods.

Amon sat firmly and asked back: "Zeus, do you want to fight me?"

Zeus showed an angry expression again: "You and I are both the lords of the kingdom of heaven, so we can't do it easily. Don't forget your identity! What you did in Delphi has already surprised me."

Although Zeus is stronger than Amon, he is not absolutely sure that he can defeat Amon. Looking at the scene where Amon fought with those envoys today, there is simply no room left. The Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven is different from ordinary gods. If he falls, the Kingdom of Heaven he created will cease to exist. Even if such gods want to do something, they will generally not personally take risks with their own deities.

Amon spread his hands: "In this case, I will be my guide, you will be your guide, and let the people of the world choose for themselves. This is the agreement between you and me. I am not only making an agreement with the gods, but also Make a promise with the world."
