In Mesopotamia, it was common for gods to kill humans. Gods were absolute beings.

Take the example of the God-King Enlil. He led the world-destroying natural disasters that ravaged the Sumerians three times.

The reason is very simple.

The proliferation of humans has caused the gods to lose sleep, and their irritation has made them feel that the number of humans they created is a bit too high.

So, they thought of destroying humanity.

Famine, plague, war, apocalypse, earthquakes, floods—the Sumerian gods had it all.

[The Sumerians who grew up in this environment]

[Almost, from a young age, we were taught that we must never disobey the gods, otherwise we might face a world-destroying disaster.]

[Now, you have produced the divine seal, which is equivalent to the symbol of the goddess's identity. This can basically be regarded as the goddess herself coming.]

The city you came to this time is Ur.

Here, people kneel before you with great reverence and fear, their faith and respect are undoubtedly there.

[But, in that, you see more fear]

[People were afraid that the gods would bring disaster].

Chapter 402 Arrival, Uruk! [Subscribe! Flowers!]

[Unlike the Pelasgians you once ruled, these Sumerians who pay homage to the gods, although also very strong and dazzling, can only make you sigh helplessly.]

Their love was conceived in fear

The love of your former people is in care and glory.

[This is also one of the reasons why the Sumerians were unable to raise their holy swords when facing the invasion of the Wandering Star Vanguard.]

They are born to fear God.

It is because I see them working hard and living strong lives that I feel pity for this beauty.

The foundation of this light comes from fear.

【It's not surprising to sigh】

As you approach Uruk, the center, the people's exaggerated attitudes become less pronounced, but overall, they're not too far off. This gives you a unique experience.

[Of course, this journey is more like a pilgrimage than a journey.]

You believe that a journey is not just about seeing the scenery alone, but more about communicating with all living creatures on an equal footing, thus continuing the sometimes sad, sometimes happy experience.

[Just enjoying the worship and awe on the road, this is just a pilgrimage to God at 25]

You can neither enjoy it nor hate it.

This brilliance is not what you need

Finally, you arrived at the Royal City of Uruk.

[This time, when you displayed the divine emblem, the people of Uruk were not as terrified as those in other capitals.]

The people of Uruk were sincerely delighted.

You did not see fear in their eyes. The people welcomed you out of pure love.

The people do not know that you are the child of King Lugalbanda of Uruk. They welcome you for another reason.

[In the past, the buffalo goddess Ninsun visited Uruk in person]

Although Ning Sun has a noble bloodline, she is not as high and mighty as the gods. She enjoys communicating with humans.

[The goddess chose to play with people]

【Walk closely into the crowd】

[So, this is why the people of Uruk smiled happily when they saw you take out the seal of divine authority.]

[The Uruk people always welcome the buffalo goddess Ninsun]

[Not to mention, this goddess is also the partner of their king, so the people of Uruk have no need to be afraid at all.]

You feel a long-lost sense of comfort here.

[At the same time, there is also a sense of belonging that comes from blood, and the warm atmosphere of Uruk makes you very fond of it.]

"My child, you have finally arrived in Uruk. You are welcome, this is your home too!"

Lugalbanda opened his arms with great joy.

He welcomed Moran's arrival very much.

Although he had many women in Lugalbanda, the buffalo goddess Ningsun was undoubtedly the most special to him.

Therefore, he is obviously more partial to you and Gilgamesh than to the children he had with other women.

On the day you arrived in Uruk

Lugalbanda decided to hold a banquet to welcome his children home for the first time.

Even though you think this is unnecessary

【But in the end, it’s hard to refuse such kindness】

For Lugalbanda, every time he wants to see his children, he can only find time to go to the garden.

[This is not easy for him as a king]

"Actually, I originally wanted to pass the throne to you, my eldest son. However, somehow, the great gods decided in advance that the next king would be Gilgamesh."

Lugalbanda was drunk at the banquet.

At the same time, speaking from the bottom of the heart.

This isn't the first time he's spoken to you.

Lugalbanda had already seen his lovely eldest son when he visited the garden earlier.

[At that time, he was just casually complaining about some government troubles, but you overheard it.]

[Please consider that he is your cheap father]

So, a solution was proposed.

"This is too easy for you. You have ruled over Pelasgian and British kingdoms for over a thousand years. Your ruling ability is naturally far superior to Lugalbanda's."

【Under your awakening】

Lugalbanda was as if enlightened. He slapped his thigh excitedly, eager to rush back to Uruk and arrange for the ministers and priests to carry out your instructions.

[At the same time, Lugalbanda, who once conquered many cities and created a glorious epic, realized your kingly qualities.]

【Afterwards, he and you talked a lot】

Lugalbanda marveled at your kingly wisdom and was impressed by your extraordinary military strategy. He also had no doubt about his own child's divine talent. Nothing is impossible for a child of God.

[On the one hand, I feel sad that my child has surpassed me so quickly, but on the other hand, I feel relieved and excited]

[Although I have experienced this several times before]

[But no other child could leave such a deep impression on him as you did.]

At that moment, Lugalbanda decided

You are the King of Uruk

He believed that the reason he had been in power until now was to enable you to lead the Uruk Dynasty to become even more powerful in the future.

Lugalbanda returned to Uruk with excitement and joy. He planned to take a nap to relieve the fatigue of the journey and then immediately arranged for his subjects and the chief priests to appoint him as the next king of Uruk.

[Yes, he firmly believes that no one is more suitable than you]

[It’s a pity, fate plays tricks on us——]

"Lugalbanda, servant of our gods, king of men who receives the grace and blessings of the gods.

Moran must not be allowed to become the king of Uruk. The only one who can become the king of Uruk is Gilgamesh.

Only he is the Wedge of Heaven that the gods are waiting for."

The figure of the God-King Enlil appeared in his dream.

This dream is clearer than ever before.

[Obviously, this is not just a random dream, but a warning from the God-King Enlil himself.]

This represents the great will of the gods.

After waking up from his dream, Lugalbanda felt only deep confusion and bewilderment.

[Why did it have to be Gilgamesh? And not you, who grew up first and showed the qualities of a king?]

[However, no one could answer these questions for him]

In Mesopotamia, humans were born without the right to disobey the gods. They only needed to flatter and praise the gods, and then dedicate everything to them.

[This was the fate of the Sumerians].

Chapter 403: The throne is not what I want [Please subscribe! Please give me flowers!]

"...Moran, can you accept this?"

Lugalbanda couldn't help but clench his palms as he spoke.

It was obvious that he still couldn't understand the gods' decision, and he felt guilty towards his son.

Perhaps the gods saw something that they did not see.

Otherwise this result would not have happened.

Although Lugalbanda could deceive Moran and say that this was his decision, he also knew that this might be the right answer for the gods and himself as the king.

【However, there is a feeling of unwillingness in my heart】

Lugalbanda, who dedicated his life to the gods, does not resent them. He only feels sorry for you.

[Looking at such a suitable heir before me]

[I am sure you will be able to lead Uruk into the next golden age]

【In the end, I couldn't choose him as my king】

[This is undoubtedly a painful thing for any king who loves his country.]

[Not to mention, Lugalbanda is your biological father]

In the eyes of the King of Uruk

[You are the most intelligent and powerful of all his children, the dazzling gold. No one in all of Uruk can compare to you.]

[Perhaps, only Gilgamesh is qualified]

But unfortunately, Gilgamesh is still a toddler, while you are already a young man full of vigor and vitality.

[Lugalbanda as a brave and warlike king]

He will naturally choose the one that performs well.

"Haha, father, from the beginning, you have been trying to force the throne on me. I never said that I wanted to be king."

"This is the throne... Don't you want it?"

Lugalbanda looked at Moran in surprise.

It is obvious that his child has such excellent qualities to be a king, but he says that he does not want to be king.

It's really hard to understand.

"Ah, the throne doesn't hold much appeal to me. Besides, I know how much trouble it is to handle government affairs. I'm still young. So, I don't want to take on these troublesome things~."

Moran took a sip of the wine in his glass.

His tone was as if he treated the throne as a piece of cabbage on the street, and simply threw it away.

"...You, bastard. Your mother dotes on you too much. The throne is not only a responsibility, but also an honor."

"Haha, I don't blame you for not passing the throne to me. As for the gods... I don't have much of an opinion about them. Leave it to Gil. He will become a qualified king. I will ensure that."
