The Growth of a God

Chapter 829: Shattered Godhead
Jingxutian, a frontier scientific research observation station.

This is a small sky city floating above the sea of ​​clouds.

This is neither a complete version of the sky city that can explore the void and form its own world, nor a fully armed sky fortress equipped with god-killing weapons.

The sky city above the sea of ​​clouds is just an inspection station, an outpost built to adapt to the special environment of Jingxutian.

So, when Fu Yu and the Spider Girl returned here with a large group of spiritual jellyfish, the Sky City immediately passed the news back to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

At the same time, a series of research projects specifically targeting spiritual jellyfish were established as soon as possible.

In order to resolve the adverse impact of spiritual jellyfish on other worlds as soon as possible.

It can be said that these research groups have received the maximum amount of resources from the prophets.

“Is this the spiritual jellyfish?”

Looking up at the seemingly harmless spiritual jellyfish, Atum, who has the head of a bull and the body of a man, asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this is a very special creature..."

"Their birth seems to be related to the underworld, but they are not the real dead."

Following closely beside Atum, a member of the research team explained in a low voice.

"The existence of these spiritual jellyfish is somewhat similar to that of the Huangquan Clan. They are between life and death, and possess the characteristics of both the living and the dead."

When he said this, the corpse man paused for a moment before continuing.

"Of course, considering that 'Jingxutian' is a world that was born from the gathering of the rules of the underworld of Thebes, the spiritual jellyfish born here are actually more like those Theban gods."

"It's just that their status is too low. Even the Lord of the Underworld cannot be sure whether their birth is related to the gods of Thebes."

Normally, after Li Hao reached an agreement with the Goddess of Truth, all the gods of Thebes withdrew from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Therefore, even if Jingxutian was born from the gathering of the rules of the underworld, it is impossible for it to have any connection with the gods of Thebes.

"Well, I think I understand."

After a brief silence, Atum suddenly spoke.

"Can I meet Fu Yu and the Spider Woman who brought back these spiritual jellyfish?"

"I still have some questions that need them to answer, which are about the ecology of spiritual jellyfish."

Tilting his head in confusion, the Skeleton Man finally nodded and agreed to Atem's request.

"No problem, I'll arrange a meeting time and place for you later."

"If you have any other findings or questions, please let us know as soon as possible."

Although this skeleton was not clear about Atum's specific identity, he knew that he was a god who had actively applied to join this research group.

If the other party really discovered something, it would be of great help to the progress of the entire project team.

"Thank you, I just found some suspicious points that need further verification."

A moment later, on the streets of the city in the sky.

"Are you sure?"

Nephthys looked at Atum who was walking in front and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Well, I think it's confirmed."

Recalling his previous conversation with Fu Yu and Spider Girl, Atum sighed slightly.

"Maat did not take away all the Theban gods..."

"Some of the dead gods were abandoned by Thoth and remained in the Theban world."

"So, when the world of Thebes split into the thirty-three heavens of today, those gods naturally became a part of this world." Without saying anything more, everyone could see the sadness in Atum's eyes at this moment.

Although gods are higher-dimensional life forms, they are not truly immortal.

Even if these gods abandoned by Thoth were resurrected again with the help of their high-dimensional characteristics, they would no longer be the same as they were before they were divided.

The division of consciousness and the shattering of the godhead are also a way of death in the eyes of gods.

After all, not all gods are necessarily named "Atum".

Not every god can maintain the immortality of his will after his godhead is shattered.

“Thoth…why did He do this!?”

After understanding Atum's explanation, Nephthys' eyes widened in surprise.

The ancient Egyptian gods were forced to split into two opposing camps because of the struggle between Amon and Atum.

But the friendship between the gods really existed and will not disappear because of their current identities and positions.

Nephthys simply could not understand why Thoth would abandon the gods who chose to follow him and let them die in this way.

“In this world, I learned a saying.”

"Loyalty that is not absolute is equal to absolute disloyalty."

"The same is true for Toth."

In response to this, Atum, who saw it more clearly than Nephthys, sighed again.

"In fact, a considerable number of the gods who chose to be hostile to us were forced to choose a camp due to the power of Amon..."

"They don't necessarily really want to be our enemy, they just think we can't win."

In fact, Atum knew better than anyone that the majority of the ancient Egyptian gods at that time held such ideas.

Therefore, Atum never resented the ancient Egyptian gods who took sides.

"You mean... that Toth abandoned those 'centrists'?"

Nephthys lowered her head slightly with a complicated expression, and then she realized the subtext of Atum's words.

"Yes, Toth is indeed very strong."

"But He is not powerful enough to ignore all dissenters' opinions like Amon did."

"After Amon's death, even if it was just for the sake of maintaining the stability of the pantheon, Thoth had to abandon those gods who could threaten his position."

The ancient Egyptian pantheon has a long history. Even after it split into the Theban pantheon, powerful gods who could rival Thoth still existed.

"Even so... He shouldn't do this..."

Nephthys said sadly with a hint of grief and anger.

It’s really frustrating to think that those once close friends would eventually die because of such a ridiculous reason.

Nephthys' heart was filled with a sorrow that could not be described in words.

"Tott really shouldn't have done that."

"That is why he can only be the strongest person under Amon, but cannot truly command a pantheon on his own."

Strength is indeed a key factor in commanding a pantheon, but it is not the only condition.

Even at his most vulnerable moment when he was reincarnated as Horus, Atum possessed the majesty that made the ancient Egyptian gods submit to him.

On the other hand, no matter how powerful Thoth was, he was destined to be unable to truly unify the people and make the gods submit to him.
