Chapter 4686 [God's Secret]

With less than 10,000 soldiers, Xiang Nan captured the city of Arach and captured nearly 400,000 people, including little Ram.

Such a huge success also made the Egyptian army admire it very much.

"You are worthy of being the incarnation of God, the messenger of God, and the spokesperson of God."

"We have God's blessing, we are invincible!"

"Imorton is the true king of kings!"

They all couldn't help but say that their admiration for Xiang Nan was beyond words.

Xiang Nan himself was also very happy. Now he was the God of War and the God of Wealth combined into one, just like Guan Yu who was both the God of Wealth and the God of War.

After becoming the God of War, Xiang Nan's kingdom of God also underwent great changes.

Originally, his kingdom of God was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, and was magnificent and extravagant.

But after becoming the God of War, his kingdom suddenly became filled with many war weapons such as swords, spears, shields, bows and arrows, chariots, etc.

Everywhere was blood red, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood. If you stayed there for a long time, you would feel an irresistible urge to kill people.

This also made those money-loving people who originally held on to gold, silver and jewelry and only cared about counting money become crazy.

They began to attack and kill each other, vying for every ingot of gold, every gem, and every pearl.

Fortunately, although they fought fiercely, it was impossible for them to die again.

Therefore Xiang Nan ignored them.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan stationed his troops in the city of Arakh and sent envoys to demand that Ram II pay money to redeem his son.

In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to transport 400,000 slaves, as well as seized property and livestock, back to Egypt, and start his third priesthood.

Xiang Nan then returned to Egypt.

The successful capture of the city of Arach, the capture of 400,000 slaves, and the seizure of countless wealth made the Egyptian people very excited.

The Hittite Empire and Egypt had a feud that lasted nearly three hundred years. The two sides attacked and invaded each other, causing huge losses to the people living along the border.

Therefore, the Hittite Empire was now defeated, 400,000 of its citizens were reduced to slaves, and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years was plundered, which naturally made the Egyptians very happy.

"We were able to win this time thanks to the protection of the God of Wealth and the God of War!" Xiang Nan announced loudly, "We must thank Him! We must offer Him a grand sacrifice!"

After hearing what he said, the princes and ministers all responded.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan held a grand sacrificial ceremony and invited people from all over Thebes to watch.

The sacrificial ceremony was held on an extremely grand scale, which opened the eyes of the people and made them more devout in their belief in the God of Wealth and the God of War.

Xiang Nan took the opportunity to announce, "The God of Wealth and the God of War sent me an oracle. From today on, He will not only be the God of Wealth and the God of War, but also the God of Death.

From now on, his title will be the King of Kings of Egypt, the generous god of wealth, the brave god of war, and the patron saint of the dead..."

After hearing what he said, everyone started to recite together, "The King of Kings of Egypt, the generous god of wealth, the brave god of war, the patron saint of the dead..."

The god of death is a very powerful god. Since all mortals will die one day, all mortals fear the gods.

In various mythological systems, the status of the god of death is also extremely high. The god of death in Egyptian mythology is Osiris, one of the nine pillars of gods; the god of death in Greek mythology is Hades, the god of the underworld and brother of Zeus; the god of death in Mesopotamian mythology is Astarte, the wife of Baal, the king of gods; and the person in charge of the underworld in Chinese Taoist mythology is Emperor Tianqi of Dongyue.

Therefore, even though Xiang Nan knew that the competition among the Gods of Death was fierce, he still wanted to become the God of Death himself.

……

"You are really amazing. In such a short time, you have obtained the second godhood~" Astarte couldn't help but sigh after seeing Xiang Nan.

It was nearly two hundred years before He obtained the second godhood.

"It's easy to practice in the public sector." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

He himself was the Pharaoh of Egypt and could mobilize the country's national strength to serve him, so it became much easier for him to become a god.

"That makes sense." Astarte nodded. "If I had a brain like yours, I wouldn't have been delayed for so many years."

"You still have time." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Do you need my help?"

"No need. In fact, too many priesthoods are not a good thing." Astarte waved his hand and said, "Didn't you notice that the main gods like Amon, Horus, Zeus, and Baal only have one or two priesthoods?"

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, it was indeed true.

For example, Amon is only the sun god, Zeus is only the god of sky and thunder, Baal is the god of fertility, and Odin is the god of war...

As the main gods, they can have many divine offices, even like Jehovah, who is omniscient and omnipotent, and there is only one God, no other.

But they didn't do so, and there must be a reason for that.

"Because the more priesthoods one has, the more likely one is to lose oneself," Astarte explained. "So the main gods often separate unimportant priesthoods so that they can stay sober."

"Why did you lose yourself?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

“I don’t know.” Astarte waved his hand. “Perhaps he had to deal with different believers, which led to the splitting of his godhead. Perhaps the more priesthoods he had, the more he would lose his humanity…

I also heard another theory, that this world originally had a supreme god, but he fell for some unknown reason. The priesthoods we have now are all usurped from him, and once we have too many priesthoods, it is possible that his consciousness will awaken and he will be resurrected again..."

“……” Xiang Nan was surprised when he heard this.

This statement seems to be very similar to the setting of a certain novel. In that novel, once too many extraordinary characteristics are gathered, the Prime Creator will also wake up, and then restart the whole world.

And many myths do mention the fall of the God of Creation.

For example, in the Middle-earth mythology, after Pangu created the world, he became all things in the world. If all things were combined into one, perhaps Pangu would be resurrected.

"Then how many clergy positions should be retained?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

“It’s best not to have more than four.” Astarte explained, “You can separate the extra godhood and give it to other gods.

Zeus gave the positions of God of Wisdom, God of Hunting, God of Light, God of Craftsmen, and God of War to his children. He only kept the three positions of God King, God of Sky, and God of Thunder and Lightning.

"That's it." Xiang Nan nodded.

He now has two priesthoods, the God of Wealth and the God of War. So it seems that there is still room for two more priesthoods, or the other priesthoods can be sent away.

But although the God of Wealth is not strong, he is very popular among believers. However, although the God of War is strong, not many people like him. No matter which one is given, Xiang Nan is not happy.

"Forget it, let's just wait and see. In fact, the God of Death is strong enough." Xiang Nan thought.
