Transcendent Journey

Evening.

A bright round moon quietly climbed up the withered treetops.

The dry night wind blows, as if there is no trace of moisture.

However, the city of Uruk is still lit up with lights, and citizens who look extraordinarily big compared to the outsiders walk out of their homes.

Encircle the towering [Heavenspan Pagoda] in the corner of the city and the magnificent [Sky Garden] on the top of the tower.

Looking at this man-made building like Divine Vestige, there is boundless pride in every pair of eyes that seem to have gone through countless sufferings.

Although the natural disasters of floods and droughts have lasted for two rounds, there is still a concentration of taxes, worship, and countless priceless and unique rare treasures from the overwhelming majority of the entire country.

[Sky Garden] is full of the rarest beautiful flowers and plants, as well as the most precious…water source during the drought.

There is only one purpose for all this.

dong! dong! dong! …

Hundreds of great men struggling to beat the huge cowhide drum.

Beep–!

Fifty priests lined up in two rows with golden crowns blew the horns in their hands.

Nebuchadnezzar, wearing a solemn sacrificial robe and a “crown of thorns” on his head, barefoot, like a “sinner” pleading for atonement, stepping along the spiral staircase surrounding the tower Walk up to the [Sky Garden] at the top of the tower.

Behind him is Paracelsus, who has been appointed the crown of the “sages” of the kingdom because of the magical “potions technique” and quirky sorcery.

Except for them and a group of priests in white robes, there is no one else on the entire “Heavenspan Pagoda”.

Gold and silver, precious stones, colorful costumes, treasures in the mountains and deep seas, mature male goats, lambs, musk, harvest plants, white figs, beer, honey, butter…

The entire huge circular altar is full of Dangdang.

In the Divine Physique department of the Murian civilization.

Although the gods are stalwarts with unlimited authority, their basic needs are no different from those of mortals. They need food, clothing, shelter, and even marriage.

So in addition to faith, the highest quality offerings are also indispensable.

In today’s year of drought where there has not been a single drop of rain since the New Year, there is no one in the whole kingdom, dare to be sloppy about this ceremony.

When the sun and the moon meet, the ceremony officially begins.

The sacrifices ignite the finest spices, walk around the altar slowly, and mute the honorific name silently in their mouths. Respectfully ask every god enshrined by the Murian people to pay attention to this.

On the altar, there are also stone tablets engraved with the holy names, icons, and emblems of each god. There are at least twenty large and small.

Among them.

The most noble one is: the all-inclusive “God of the Sky”, “Father of the Gods” Anu, whose image is a luxurious 3rd-layer crown placed on the throne.

In all Myths and Legends, this main god has never left the kingdom of heaven and has come to the mortal world. There is no doubt that he is a great True God!

Below him is the three-pillar god with the highest position.

Enlil, “Master of Wind” and “King of Air”, is not only the humid spring breeze that nourishes the growth of all things, but also the hurricane God of Wind. Flood and gale are his weapons;

Although there are both good and evil sides, the overwhelming majority shows the tyrannical side.

Marduk, “king of kings”, “lord of life”, gathers the power of the gods;

is the great god who reborn the gods and regenerates the dead Spellcaster, the wise man who is aware of things, the protector of justice and law, the creator of all things, the king of kings…

Inanna, “Love, Blood and War God”, is among the gods The most beautiful one has many admirers and followers.

There are many other auxiliary gods, Kibil, the god of fire, riding on the fire bird, Adad, the god of water, who is riding a bull with stone arrows in both hands, and heir of Marduk: Ram, god of silt And Raham…

Even the sacred fire used for sacrifice is a god named Nusku.

Teng!

The flames are blazing, which means that the gods are willing to accept the sacrifices of mortals.

A group of priests in white robes respectfully threw the sacrifices on the altar into the sacred fire after cleaning their hands.

At the same time, he sang in his mouth: “The god Huosku, without you, no banquet can be held in the temple; without you, the great gods cannot smell the fragrance…”

All kinds of high-quality sacrifices that even the king can’t enjoy. Touch the sacred fire, and they will immediately turn into a blue smoke and rush into the sky, entering the kingdom of the gods’ lives.

However, the sacrifice is so rich.

A group of priests worked together, and from dusk until the bright moon hung high, did they sacrifice the last exquisite wine set made of gold.

Compared with the dry world below “Heavenspan Pagoda”, it is a bit ironic.

Teng——!

Immediately, the sacred fire rose up several meters in an instant, indicating that the gods were very satisfied with the sacrifice.

At the same time.

The most noble king in the world looked at the dry riverbed under the tower, the shriveled seedlings, and the eager gazes of his subjects. He took a deep breath and slammed on the ground. The thorns pierced his forehead and didn’t care. .

raised high hands, screamed:

“Gods in the sky, everything in mankind is controlled and dominated by great gods. We believe in the most loyal, Build tall towers, build gardens, and present the most beautiful sacrifices for you…

But countless sufferings still surround such pious Muria people.

Two Rivers In between, sometimes rivers flood, sometimes drought, sometimes heavy storms, sometimes heavy thunderstorms turn Heaven and Earth into a swamp.

I! Nebuchadnezzar! On behalf of all mankind, I ask you. , God, please open your eyes and show your kindness to the humans on the earth!”

Probably the gods who are enjoying the sacrifices in the sky, probably did not expect that there will be human kings like this Bold, dare to negotiate terms with the gods.

The entire world was quiet for a moment, and even the air stopped flowing.

Immediately, a thunderous loud voice echoed over the entire Uruk city.

“Mortals are not qualified to negotiate with gods.

Man is created by gods, and man is given a small life just to be able to carry out the will of the gods in the world. You have to Worship God, believe in God, make offerings to God!

All disasters are to temper your will, test your piety, and shape your soul.

Whether it is a blessing or a disaster It is a gift from the gods. You should accept it with pleasure, and then believe in God more religiously, instead of bargaining with your father!!!”

Many citizens in the city have fallen to their knees in horror. Scramble for forgiveness.

“However, in the face of these rich tributes, I, Marduk, the “Lord of Life”, can temporarily forgive your lie.

But! Next month Yuanzhiye must offer three times the sacrifice for us, otherwise I will destroy Uruk and re-select a qualified human king who fears the gods.”

However.

After hearing this Divine Punishment’s ultimatum, the human king Nebuchadnezzar who gave birth to beard did not keep quiet out of fear, but instead stood up from the ground each minding their own business.

Throwing away the “crown” of blood-stained thorns on his head, he lowered his eyes and said to himself:

“Maybe…I shouldn’t have expected you Of…”

This action is already heinous to the gods.

It is the rebellion of mortals and the blasphemy of the authority of the gods by the trifling ants!

However, the gods who saw this scene in the sky were not angry, they just thought it was funny.

It’s like an ant is more powerful than a human being. In the face of an insurmountable gap, it is like a hilarious joke.

A trifling overestimate one’s capabilities, any god can easily crush it to death.

However, King Nebuchadnezzar’s “crazy” actions did not stop there.

crash-bang …

Kicked down the stone tablet with the holy name engraved on the altar, raised his head and looked at the sky, every word:

“The greedy gods, starting today, the rules of the game have changed! The so-called gods must serve people. If you are not obedient and obedient, as the kings of all humans, I don’t mind…”

The king stared at the sky, and uttered two deafening words:

“swing a knife…slay the god!”

tone barely fell.

The king of Muria took over a “black cross long halberd” hidden by the wizard in the [Witchcraft Garden].

Om——!

His perfect muscles, like a marble sculpture, rise from the grave, and the majestic psychic energy in his body bursts apart.

Obviously, this is also a fourth rank [psionicist] who relies on himself rather than the power of gods.

“Drink, I said…this halberd must hit!”

[Like spell · Ling Ling]

Shoo!

A beam of black light came out, like a Poison Dragon who had chosen someone to eat, rose into the sky, but suddenly sank into the void.

“Ah!”

With a cry of pain in the air.

There are golden liquids that spill down like raindrops, and there will be clear springs, flowers blooming, and fruits everywhere….

However, it is not rain. But…divine blood!

wu wu wu ….

Only for a moment.

In the sky, suddenly there are dark clouds that seem to crush the sky, and the blackness is ten thousand li.

The dark cloud centered on Heavenspan Pagoda suddenly split into two halves, and a sky dome above the head appeared as a silhouette composed of thunder and hurricane.

That is Enlil, the “king of air” among the three pillar gods.

In his hand, he held a lightning lance several kilometers long and threw it down from in the sky with scorching anger.

Boom——! ! !

For a time, the wind and clouds stood in a daze, and everything whimpered.

The masterpiece of mankind, the towering Heavenspan Pagoda was easily split into two like a straw, and fell into the city.

Immediately.

The wind and the stone sang together:

“The great city of Uruk has fallen! It has fallen! It has become a dwelling place for demons and a prison for all kinds of filthy spirits, and all kinds of things The nest of the filthy and abominable bird.”

This is obviously the mighty power of “Lord of Life” Marduk, and the unlucky person among the gods who was wounded by mortals.

Then all the residents of Uruk City heard a beautiful female voice speaking in their hearts:

“Still loyal to my people, you must come out of that city , So as not to be guilty with it and suffer the disasters it has suffered.

How Uruk glorifies himself and how luxurious, should also call it pain and sorrow!

So in one day Within, its disasters will come together, namely death, sorrow, and famine. It will be burned out by fire again, because the Lord God who judges it is very powerful!”

Obviously King Nebuchadnezzar Before today’s ceremony, he had already prepared, and today’s sacrifice is also his last effort to seek peace.

The high-ranking [psionicist] has sent the citizens safely.

xiu! xiu! xiu! Shoo! call out! ….

The locust-like “flagworm” in the fractured “Heavenspan Pagoda” has already lifted up into the sky with a black cross long halberd.

……

dong!

In the east-west strip “Star Fragmentation Islands” formed by tens of thousands of islands, Ivan On the archipelago named East Two, a group of four jumped off the 【Haihun】 which quietly docked.

The fog of war shrouded in this large island was also dispelled with his eyes.

“According to the population of [Witchcraft Garden·Uluk Temple], the Muria civilization has about 35 million people in total.

According to The Inheritor who records this civilization has power from nature, and its clansman also has the ability to communicate with nature.

They respect gods and believe in all things have spirits. Gods are in charge of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. We are in Secret Realm. What I saw in it should be something unexpected…”

Jeroth, who knows the destination best, is still talking about Danger Land explaining the general situation of this civilization to his companions.

Suddenly.

Boom——!

A huge silhouette nearly ten meters in height fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground in front of them, splashing the blood of the front Jero.

Then a long and turbulent river with it as the center, “grows” from the ground in this way, it is the power of a Demi-God overflowing.

Ivan’s line lifts the head, looking towards the sky in the fierce battle, his mouth widens slowly:

“This time… the start is the battle of the gods?”
