Supreme God

Chapter 176: Why bother with Egyptian gods

Views:

When he heard Adros asking about his opponent Aten, Amon suddenly fell silent. He looked at the foreign god in front of him, and finally sighed and told the story about Aten. After all, these are not secrets. Even if it is not from himself, he will know it from other gods sooner or later.

Aten and Amon are actually brother gods that have the same origin. The two brothers are both symbols of the sun, but the difference is that Aten is the god of the rising sun, while Amon is the god of the shining sun.

Aten is the elder brother, but because he was born earlier, his body looks like a boy, and his character is closer to that of a boy; Amon is the younger brother, but he is a brave young man, and his character is more mature.

Both sun gods were born on the eve of the attack of the Eastern gods and grew up in the war of the gods. Because of the charm of God Amon, he gathered a large number of gods to follow him during the war.

After the war, the nine pillar gods were either dead or injured, some were missing, some were in hiding, and some gods from outside the world broke in. It can be said that the entire Egyptian divine domain is like a sieve, with holes in it at first.

So the young but energetic sun god Amon decided to change this situation. He started from Thebes and led the gods under his command to first make arrangements among humans, preparing to make changes to the chaotic Egyptian pantheon.

At the earliest, he supported Ahemoth and established a small kingdom centered on Thebes. With the help of the foreign wise man Arthur, he became the leader of all nearby small countries.

Then, Ahemoth led all the small Egyptian kingdoms to conquer the Hyksos and won. Thus, a new Egyptian dynasty was established.

From the founding of Ahmose, through Amenhotep I and Thutmose I, Egypt's military front reached the third waterfall of the Nile in the south, northern Syria and the upper reaches of the Euphrates River in the north, and the New Kingdom of Egypt had occupied the Egyptian divine domain. Less than half of it is in the middle.

Later, Thutmose II, who was frail and died early, and his capable wife Hatshepsut not only controlled the government for twenty-two years, but also officially wore the Wang Guan is the first human female emperor in the history of heaven and earth.

When the female pharaoh died, her late husband's concubine Thutmose III took over the throne. After the new pharaoh, who had been suppressed by his aunt for a long time, stabilized the domestic situation, he soon continued to launch wars and greatly expanded the territory of the new Egyptian dynasty, finally becoming comparable to the human empire before the War of the Gods.

Of course, no matter what, these disputes are nothing more than human battles, but behind them is the path of conquest led by the god Amun.

Because in a place like Egypt, behind any pharaoh, there must be a god behind him. What God Amun needs to do is to make the gods behind them either surrender or sue for peace.

For a hundred years, the gods under the command of Amun followed him around. Earlier, he was just the main god of Thebes. Later, he conquered the surrounding areas and made all the gods worshiped by the Pharaoh worship him, so he has now become the recognized first main god in the Kingdom of Egypt.

This main god is not the main god Adros. This is not a rank of strength, but represents a proof of identity. In the Egyptian divine domain, apart from the god Amun, perhaps only the great god Ra has ever been called the main god. The so-called main god is the one who dominates the gods.

The success of God Amun was noticed by his brother Aten, so Aten was dissatisfied. As an elder brother, how could he be worse than his younger brother

Therefore, the god Aten supported the human emperor Amenhotep IV and wanted to replace the existence of the god Amun. However, more than a hundred years of hard work by God Amun were not in vain. Even though both gods promised not to take action, Amenhotep IV, the tyrannical lord, failed in the end. Even after his mysterious death, his Tutankhamun, his concubine and son-in-law, overthrew all his political reforms and moved the royal capital back to Thebes. The belief in the god Amun once again became the mainstream of the dynasty.

God Aten failed in the end. As for how he failed, God Amon didn't want to say more, and Adros couldn't ask more. The war between the two brothers, no matter whether they win or lose, is not something outsiders can talk about.

"Your Excellency, Lord of the Stars, on behalf of all the gods of the Egyptian dynasty, I invite you to fight side by side with us and face the enemies in the divine domain and even outside the divine domain together."

The original Egyptian dynasty had almost reached its previous peak, but after God Aten made such a fuss, various conflicts broke out, and many gods thought they had a chance to break away from the rule of God Amun. Together with the country they protected, they originally took refuge in the god Aten, but the god Aten was like an epiphyllum, so they looked for another way out and turned to the Hittite gods who were eager to try outside.

After the Hittite gods conquered the Babylonian divine domain, they originally had the idea of attacking the Egyptian divine domain. They sent gods to Egypt very early to carry out various activities, such as provoking, testing, and alienating. The rule of the god Amun over Egypt was something they did not want to see. When a god took refuge in them, they were naturally overjoyed.

Adros frowned when he heard the question of God Amun. Then he neither agreed nor objected, but just said: "When necessary, I will help the Amun God."

Although what he said was not entirely true, there was no doubt that God Amun was destined to be a powerful god. But Adros didn't want to surrender to him, especially after seeing God Amun staring at his maid with a fiery look.

Adros had no interest in sacrificing girls for status, so he naturally did not want to stand with the main god of Egypt. Besides, for the Egyptian gods, their era ended after the Egyptian domain was breached hundreds of years ago. Although Egypt will not be bypassed in future wars in the divine domain, it can only play a supporting role after all. In the divine domain of Chaos, we already have our own chosen people, so why should we stand side by side with the Egyptian gods and protect the Egyptians

After hearing the answer from this young alien god, God Amon looked at him deeply, and then nodded, noncommittal.

The most critical issue was not discussed, and God Amun naturally had no time to chat with Adros. After summoning the divine attendant to settle Adros and allowing him to wander around Thebes, God Amun said goodbye and left. .

Adros didn't mind either, but looked forward to the departure of God Amun, so that he could take the god and the earth cloth that had awakened but not yet recovered to the temple he mentioned.

······

When Adros came to the place Gabe mentioned, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

After all, he is one of the Nine Pillar Gods and the famous God of the Earth. Gebu's temple is really shabby. There are only a few houses in the entire temple. Even except for the main entrance, all the exits are surrounded. The remaining three sides are surrounded by walls. Of course, they are also the walls of another huge palace.

There was only one priest in the temple. After seeing them, the priest had no reaction. He was still lying on the chair, motionless, lazily basking in the sun.

After seeing it, Pandora moved her thoughts, showed her beautiful face, and said to the young but ordinary-looking young priest: "Master Priest, I want to convert to the great God of the Earth. How can I do it? "

The priest glanced at them sideways, and then remained motionless, turning a blind eye to Pandora's beautiful appearance. He said lightly: "Just go to the statue and say it yourself. I just want to remind you that Mr. Geb never shows up. of."

Pandora, who had always been successful in chatting up men with her beautiful face, suddenly felt embarrassed, especially when her best friend Ian looked at her with a half-smiling expression, as if she was mocking her.

Ignoring the small movements between them, Adros and Achilles, who was supporting Geb, took the lead and arrived at the statue. After the two goddesses saw it, of course they followed immediately.

The priest of the temple glanced at them sideways, chuckled, took out a clay tablet, and began to write and draw. Sacrificing sacrifices to the gods is just his side job. Seeing that the night is coming, he must not affect his main job.

Standing in the temple, looking at his dusty statue, God Gebu sighed: "It seems that no one has touched it after so many years."

After finishing speaking, the god actually stretched out his sleeves and began to wipe the statue. Next to him, Ian, as his disciple, also quickly took out a piece of cloth and started working with his teacher.

As for Adros, he stood aside with Pandora and Achilles, quietly watching the scene in front of him. Although he had only been in Egypt for a few days, as far as he knew, the famous Nine Pillars God seemed to be doing really bad things now.

The so-called nine pillar gods are actually a family, or a family of gods.

The original god Ra gave birth to a pair of twin brothers and sisters, Hugh, the god of air, and Tefnut, the god of lakes. After their union, Tefnut, the god of lakes, gave birth to a pair of twin brothers and sisters, Geb, the god of earth, and Nu, the god of sky. Special, they combined and gave birth to the fourth generation of gods, two boys and two girls, the boys were Osiris and Seth, and the girls were Isis and Nephthys.

At that time, almost all the gods followed their lead, and their family's decision meant the entire Egyptian pantheon. But all this was interrupted by a sudden overseas expedition.

Ra's supreme glory was shattered and he was cursed by time. He became an aging god and was secretly laughed at by all the gods. Naturally, the Nine Pillar Gods headed by him can no longer give people a sense of majesty. In addition to the other eight gods, who were either dead, seriously injured, or in hiding, there was an opportunity for God Amun to rise.

After finally wiping the statue clean, God Gebu smiled softly and said, "This is much better, let's get started."
