"A tiny civilized world, an intelligent creature the size of an ant."
Xu Zhi lowered his head and looked at the intelligent species that he had restricted his body size and gradually reproduced.
Back then, the youthful young insect ape held in his palm, the hot-blooded boy who stood on the top of the giant tree and roared to the sky with the sword of Damocles in his hand, he was already late, and he was approaching the end of his years.
His ambitious youthful attitude, passionate and arrogant, seems to be just yesterday... and it was indeed two days ago.
Their seemingly long endless years are only a short moment in my eyes.
"Gilgamesh, how have you been all these years?" Xu Zhi said softly, his voice piercing through the vast clouds and falling into the bustling Uruk royal city below, above the central palace.
Gilgamesh held the holy sword and trembled all over.
"I. I'm doing okay."
His throat was thirsty and hoarse, and he looked at the towering giant in the sky.
Even if it wasn't the first time I saw it, I was still moved by the magnificent scene. The vast giant of the ten thousand zhang level pierced straight into the sky, its torso seemed to support the whole world, its face was covered by a rich brilliance, and there was a faint light in the clouds. There was a ray of white and holy light, the majesty could not be seen clearly, and Yun Jian's eyes were extremely deep.
The giant is overlooking the entire city of Uruk.
Great, great, solemn, sacred, no words in the world can describe that shocking beauty!
"Oh my God!"
"It actually exists!"
The tens of millions of people in the city, merchants in leather and fine clothes, ragged slaves, women in noble dresses, commoners, and craftsmen, put down their work, walked out of the shops and houses, and stood on the streets, looking up. A vast giant piercing the sky.
"In the legend, the species of wisdom granted to our civilization, the giant wisdom beast...."
"A super giant with a height of 10,000 feet."
"What a great and vast life this is, comparable to the sun, moon and stars in the sky!"
They were all immersed in the shock, their minds went blank, longing, fear, shock, countless complex emotions intertwined, and finally turned into unparalleled admiration.
The surrounding palace ministers were also shocked, which made Gilgamesh laugh dumbfounded when he saw it. He remembered the first time they met that year, and he was also in this shocking mood.
After being silent for a while, Gilgamesh raised his head and showed eager eyes, "Wisdom behemoth, I have already achieved the civilization inheritance you gave me more than a hundred years ago."
Xu Zhi seemed to be a vast giant traveling through eternity, with a mighty voice, piercing through the clouds, and spilling down on the royal city of Uruk below, "Your great achievements will be recorded in the Sumerian epic "Genesis" written by you. The greatest first-generation king in the history of Sumerian civilization, the hero king Gilgamesh, future generations, will write historical hymns for you."
"No, the glory of thousands of years after death, living in the epic of word of mouth, that is not what I want." Gilgamesh suddenly became very excited.
"Then what do you want?"
"I want to be like you, eternal life." Gilgamesh looked up, looking at the towering giant, eager, "I am willing to give up everything, willing to give everything, please give me the three treasures of eternal life !"
Xu Zhi was silent for a moment.
Gilgamesh, the king at this moment, has almost everything in the world, glory, women, power, wealth, the world belongs to him, but he is still not satisfied.
Longevity, Xu Zhi also wants it! !
Xu Zhi is terminally ill and dying at any time. He is very envious of Gilgamesh's magnificent life, which is like an epic chapter of life.
"Gilgamesh, you are too greedy. I don't have the three treasures of longevity." Xu Zhi calmly looked at the aging king, "The birth, aging, sickness and death of species is a natural law, and I cannot change it. "
At the end of life, everyone longs to live.
Xu Zhi seemed to be sighing at himself at this moment.
At this moment, identity and status are wiped out, and countless scales of civilization are crossed. He and Gilgamesh are just two poor species silently waiting for decline and facing the fear of death.
Regardless of emperors or ants, they cannot escape the loess and bones.
Xu Zhi suddenly wanted to say:
I am facing death just like you.
However, he didn't, and just looked down at the royal city below with great emotion.
"no no... "
Gilgamesh squeezed out a hoarse voice, looking at the huge holy face surrounded by clouds and mist in the sky, "No, you lied to me, you can do it, you can clearly do it!!"
With fiery eyes, he looked at Xu Zhiru's majestic and rock-like young body. He had aged for more than two hundred years, but he had never left any trace on this great giant.
To him, time seemed like yesterday.
Wisdom behemoth, as the most mysterious species of wisdom, seems to him to be immortal.
"What a great power this is, what a coveted long life this is."
Gilgamesh's lips trembled, he lowered his head, raised his head suddenly, and couldn't help roaring: "Then you came here in response to my call, are you here to witness my death? A humble and pitiful life, trembling die of old age."
"I'm here to see you off, and I don't have the ability to extend your lifespan. I'm also here for the second handover and warning of civilization." Xu Zhi sighed, and said, "Your civilization is too cruel, and it wipes out the surrounding creatures. , Destroy forests, slaughter giant beasts, the entire land is trampled by you, true civilization is neither brutal nor barbaric, I ask you, stop your killing!"
"Stop, kill?"
Gilgamesh's burly body was gray-haired, but he was still strong. He suddenly trembled, trembling all over his body, his eyes seemed to be burning with a ball of flame, which became more vigorous and blazing,
The white-haired old man took a sudden step forward,
"No, it's impossible to stop the killing, and it's impossible to stop my footsteps! Do you know that the sword of Damocles that you gave me all these years seems to hang high above my head? , it not only gave me great strength, but also brought me unparalleled fear... and today, I will personally pull out the hanging sword above my head!"
"Akkad."
"The minister is here." The historian in charge of compiling "Genesis" stepped forward.
"Record the history of our civilization at this time, I say, you write." Gilgamesh's voice was decisive.
On the red desk, Akad silently picked up the quill and spread out a roll of gray animal skin paper: "Your Majesty, speak."
"The history of human beings fighting against nature is a history of courage and hymns... The original intention of my ordering people to compile "Genesis" is to leave history to future generations, and to let future generations understand the courage of our ancestors to fight against nature."
"Now, let history record my courage at this moment."
Gilgamesh took a deep breath, his old body was holding the sword of Damocles, he smiled lowly, and explained:
"Genesis, the 175th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, after beheading the most powerful legendary beast Finbar in history, Gilgamesh, the hero king who has sealed the sword for more than a hundred years, made another move, and the power of the whole country lured the superior wisdom The giant beast appears, and wants to swing a sword at it, and kill the giant wisdom beast!"
