In 2600 BC, the early Sumerian dynasty was established, making city-state kingdoms the main body of this era.
In this era, the system of one city becoming one country can be seen everywhere. Some slave city-states fought with each other for a long time and successively dominated. It was not until the mid-24th century BC that King Uma conquered the southern city-states and the Sumerian country was established. , and established its capital in the fortress city of Uruk.
And this so-called King of Uma is none other than the protagonist Gilgamesh in the oldest heroic epic of mankind, the Epic of Gilgamesh.
He is the oldest king and the oldest hero in human history. People in later generations will call him the Hero King. He is the most distinctive and legendary of the three heroes of Sumer. He was deeply worshiped and praised by the Sumerians.
If heroic spirits are all sublimated existences from heroes in history and mythology, then this King of Heroes is undoubtedly the original heroic spirit and the oldest hero.
His spiritual power is comparable to that of Osmandis, the greatest god-king in the history of Egypt. In terms of qualifications, he is even above Osmandis. Even if we look at the entire history of mankind, there are only one or two beings who can rival him. It is said that he is one of the strongest heroic spirits, a person who is at the pinnacle of heroes and kings, almost unmatched by anyone.
Now, the era that Luo Zhen and others have arrived is the era that this king lived in during his lifetime.
There are many legends about him, and Luo Zhen remembers them all clearly.
This hero king was originally created by the gods to restrain the power of human beings after they overreproduced. They combined the royal family of the human world with the goddess. The created wedge was used by the gods to restrict human beings. He was regarded by the gods as a wedge. The "Wedge of Heaven" is used to restrain human beings.
Therefore, Gilgamesh is actually a half-human and half-god being, possessing a very high godhood of two-thirds being a god and one-third being a human, and having both perspectives of gods and humans.
As a child, Gilgamesh was an ideal ruler who was highly respected and admired by all. He had qualities that were better than anyone else on earth. He was tolerant, just and virtuous, so he was deeply loved by people.
It wasn't until he entered his youth that Gilgamesh suddenly decided to create a storm to discipline mankind, not just as a king to manage mankind.
In order to determine the benchmark for mankind, he arbitrarily competed for and accumulated wealth, gathering all the treasures in the world into his own treasure house, and only owned it for himself.
Faced with this Gilgamesh, the gods created the warrior Enkidu as the "Lock of Heaven" to fight against Gilgamesh in order to bring him back to their side.
As a result, Gilgamesh and Enkidu met on the ground and started a mythical epic battle, but the result was that there was no winner.
After this battle, Gilgamesh, who met his counterpart for the first time, became friends with Enki.
Accompanied by his friends, Gilgamesh guided Uruk on the right track and gave it prosperity, creating a prosperous civilization, but he was still an unreasonable tyrant who acted arbitrarily.
Later, the goddess Ishtar proposed to Gilgamesh, but was rejected. Ishtar was so angry that she cried in front of her father, the god Anu, and killed the strongest mythical beast, the Bull of Heaven. It was released into the human world, ravaged the earth, harmed mankind, and brought terrible disasters to the world.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu worked together to fight against the Bull of Heaven, so that the earth could be spared from the persecution of the flood and Ishtar's ambition failed.
However, after the defeat, Ishtar petitioned the gods to make Enkidu, a weapon made by the gods and unable to defy the gods, weaken and die.
Gilgamesh was both sad and remorseful, thinking that this incident was all caused by himself, and fell into a huge grief and shadow that was uncontrollable.
After witnessing the death of Enkidu with his own eyes, Gilgamesh also realized that he would die like this one day, so he embarked on a journey to the underworld in order to seek eternal life, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, experiencing all kinds of hardships, and finally found his way to the underworld. In the underworld, he met an old man named Nabistin and obtained the magical herb of immortality.
However, Gilgamesh did not eat the spiritual grass directly.
As a human son of flesh and blood, he finally decided to bring immortality back to the city-state.
Unfortunately, on the way back to Uruk, while Gilgamesh was bathing his body in a pool of clear springs to free his mind and body from all constraints, a snake stole the spiritual grass. , shed his skin, got a new body and slipped away.
Gilgamesh witnessed this scene, suddenly realized, and came to a conclusion.
"When everything is over, there will be nothing left in your hands."
In this way, he believed that he, who had seen through the distant future from the beginning, did not need to live forever, and should be praised by future generations as a hero. Gilgamesh, who had fulfilled his responsibilities, returned to Uruk, lost his tyrant style, and governed the country steadily. , and finally met the end of his life as the world-famous Wise King.
It was precisely because this king rose up against the gods and believed that the world no longer needed gods. From this era, humans and gods began to say goodbye. Mysteries began to gradually fade, gods gradually left the ground, and the age of gods came to an end. , until the arrival of the first year of AD, the Age of Gods completely came to an end.
In other words, at the end of this age of gods, Gilgamesh was the center of everything, and the city of Uruk he governed was also the center of this singularity, similar to the status of the holy capital of the sixth singularity.
"Now, we have just arrived at this singular point and we don't know what the situation is like yet. Therefore, we can go to Uruk first. There will be things we want to know there."
It was with this in mind that Luo Zhen wanted to go to Uruk.
Because the Age of Gods is too far away after all, the concentration of mystery alone is far beyond what can be compared to modern times. In the situation of hastily preparing for the transfer of souls, it will take some time for Chaldea to connect with the communication here.
Chaldea had also anticipated this, so it had input roughly all the map information of this era into the communicator long before that, so that Luo Zhen would not even know the location of Uruk.
Luo Zhen just rushed to Uruk with Mashu and Atila.
However, on the way, Luo Zhen discovered that something extraordinary might have happened in this era.
"Pfft!"
As the three-color lightsaber flashed past, a roaring demon beast rushed towards it and was cut in two by Attila's God of War sword. It died tragically on the spot, with corpses and blood scattered on the ground.
Luo Zhen looked around, his expression somewhat heavy.
Upon closer inspection, around the group of people, there were corpses of monsters lying on the ground along the way.
This made Attila frown, and Mashu even looked confused.
Luo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"Which batch of monsters is this?"
Luo Zhen asked.
"The thirty-fourth batch." Ma Xiu whispered back: "This is the thirty-fourth batch of monsters. The total number added up, there must be hundreds of monsters."
Yes.
Along the way, Luo Zhen and his party were constantly attacked by monsters.
This phenomenon is definitely not normal.
"Although it is the Age of Gods, it is not surprising that gods and beasts appear. It should not be surprising that only magical beasts appear frequently, but the number is too much."
If the earth is full of such monsters, how can humans survive
Therefore, Luo Zhen can be sure.
"Something extraordinary must have happened in this singularity."
Luo Zhen thought deeply.
At this time, Ma Xiu on the side made a voice.
"There's a city ahead!"
Hearing this, Luo Zhen came back to his senses and looked over.
At this sight, Luo Zhen's expression changed again.
