Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Far from the core of Egypt, an old pastureland.

In the eternal darkness, a long snake made of torches is slowly crawling on the ground.

Occasionally, a torch suddenly goes out, and a small chaos breaks out, but it soon returns to calm.

In an open space hundreds of meters away from the ‘long snake’, small storms rush left and right. And in another place thousands of meters away, hail falls from the sky.

The whole world is like a game with disordered programs, and the code for simulating the climate has been full of loopholes.

In this case, unless it is torn down and rebuilt, I am afraid no one can restore it to its original state. But no matter how difficult the situation is, all spirits are still trying to survive on the broken earth of the world.

There are black cats hunting in the night, and jackals hiding in the dark to attack.

Without light, the team cannot move forward and cannot gather together; with light, it will attract moths that fly to the fire, and continuously rush towards hope.

Deaths and injuries are inevitable, and chaos is inevitable. However, over the past few months, humans with strong adaptability have become accustomed to this situation.

They found a way to survive, just like the people who survived in the wilderness in ancient times.

"..."

"Prophet, according to your instructions, we are almost there."

"The road ahead...how should we go?"

Near the head of the team, a fire moved from the front to the back.

After a while, Aaron saw one of the leaders he appointed.

The migrating team was still too long, and even after several casualties, there were still many people left. In this case, he alone could not control everything, so these leaders came into being.

But fortunately, Aaron's majesty in the team remained. Even though Moses was dead and there was no deterrence from power, they were still willing to follow Aaron's leadership.

After all, the more desperate people are, the more they will crave hope; the more powerless they are, the more they will put their hopes on the gods.

The sun is dead, and Egypt's faith for thousands of years has been directly broken. In this desperate situation, they have no choice.

Aaron has seen many people who were helpless at the beginning, but eventually became devout believers. God's salvation is their only light in the darkness. Even though they know that this may only be a desperate situation, they still refuse to let go.

Well... Actually, if you think about it carefully, Aaron himself is not the same.

"Wait and see, I will take Moses to the mountain myself. You all wait at the bottom of the mountain, so as not to offend the Almighty God."

"Don't worry, Moses once received divine revelation here and received instructions in the flames. Although he was killed by the treacherous Pharaoh, God still favors him."

Along the way, when the sun had not yet gone out, the Egyptians' pursuers made the Hebrews suffer again.

Until the eternal darkness came, the pursuit came to an end.

"The sun went out. That was the main god of the Egyptians, the god Ra who was high in the sky and looked around in all directions."

Taking a deep breath, Aaron noticed that many people around him were looking at him.

Facing the expectation in their eyes, Aaron said loudly, just like every time before: "This is God's punishment!"

"God punishes the Gentiles and brings suffering to their gods and people. He is the protector of the Hebrews, and He will make the perpetrators suffer the retribution they deserve!"

"Go forward!"

"Under God's gaze, the pious will be redeemed."

Whether they believe it or not, at this moment, the people around Aaron are indeed inspired.

Or, they also hope from the bottom of their hearts that all this is true.

...

Boundless darkness, endless silence.

One step faster than Aaron, when his life was ended by Pharaoh's sword, Moses came to this space that seemed to be isolated from the world.

He didn't know where this was, whether it was the world after death, or the gap between life and death.

However, in the darkness, Moses could vaguely perceive some information from the outside world.

He watched his body being carried onto the wooden frame, but it was not decayed; he watched Aaron guide the Hebrews all the way south, all the way to the land of Midian.

He saw the Egyptian pursuers and the extinguished sun. But he could only watch quietly and be a bystander to witness everything happening.

In this state, Moses clearly felt the power that he had once controlled. It was a great power beyond the mortal world, which could easily solve all the troubles Aaron encountered. But for some reason, the power that was originally closely connected to him seemed to be separated by a layer of shackles, making him unable to touch it.

"Is this... what I gave up?"

Although no one explained it to him, Moses had an inexplicable enlightenment.

[You will give up your future, give up eternal life, give up everything you have, and endure the disaster brought down by their gods with your people. Those who do not believe in me will all die, and the pious will also suffer disasters]

This was originally his glory and rights. If he followed God's will and was only God's messenger, not a prophet of the Hebrews, then all of this would belong to him.

But he took the initiative to give these up and return them to God. Now that he is dead, these should be taken back.

So from the moment he lost his life, his first agreement with God was fulfilled.

God killed all the nine pillars of Egypt and allowed the Hebrews to continue living in this world.

He fulfilled his promise - [Those who live on earth will be punished by the earth, and those who live in heaven will be punished by the heaven. Whatever they have done to you will be repaid to them and their gods] - and now, it is naturally Moses' turn to fulfill his promise.

However, despite realizing all this, Moses became even more anxious. Because in addition to these, he still remembered what God said at the end.

[This world does not belong to you, so you must go to the place that belongs to you. You must leave here and go to the end of the sea]

Before, he always thought it was an easy thing.

As long as he got rid of the Egyptian gods and the pursuit of Pharaoh, with the power given to him by God, this journey can be easily completed.

So even though God did not promise that "you will return to where you came from, to the place I promised you", Moses still thought it was not a problem.

Until now, he was killed by someone.

It was not a man who killed him, but the sun; the sun fell because of this, but he could not be resurrected.

Until this moment, he felt that everything seemed to have been arranged from the beginning. His choice, his sacrifice, everything and everything about him were in the future defined by God.

In the dark, Moses saw Aaron holding his body and starting to climb the mountain.

That was the mountain he had climbed when he was grazing in Midian. They hoped to find an opportunity to change their predicament there, but only Moses knew that his agreement with God had ended.

Aaron would not get what he wanted, it was destined. Because Moses never told them that God's eyes never stopped on the Hebrews.

"..."

[So... do you regret it?]

Wow——

Suddenly awake, at this moment, Moses felt that he had "opened" his eyes.

The darkness around him was swept away, and he seemed to have returned to the day when he saw God.

The layers of the world rose and fell under him, and seven layers of vast light and shadow flashed in the middle.

As if standing in the center of the universe, Moses once again saw the shadow that transcended the world.

It seemed to have never changed, and it seemed to be changing every moment. Moses fell to the ground again, expressing his piety and humility to God.

"God..."

The words trembled as soon as they came out, because with just this one glance, although God did not explain, Moses already knew why he came here.

His first covenant with God ended, and he used his life and everything as a bargaining chip.

But God now told him that he was different from others. He had more than one life, and he could naturally have a second covenant with God.

······

He was different, and Moses always knew this.

After all, God never shied away from His attention, and He also told Moses in person that he was different, a special case different from other Hebrews.

But before today, Moses did not know where he was different, and only during this period of time after his death, when he felt the power beyond the mortal world, did he have some guesses.

But guesses are just guesses after all, just like a blind man touching an elephant, he cannot see the whole picture.

He can only see a corner of the truth, but at this moment, when he stood here, although God did not speak, he just "knew" it.

Moses was his name as a mortal, but he also had two names that did not belong to the mortal world.

One was called Pallas, and the other was called Horus. They were born with them and were the source of everything.

The two names belonged to two gods, to the two masters of the earth and the sky; although this master was in the future, not the present.

One died before he was born; the other was supposed to be born, but was born by someone else.

But in any case, under the will of God, these two names were finally given to Moses, and also to the Hebrews through their bloodline.

In the fate of Egypt, Horus was the offspring of Osiris and Isis, and this reflection was justified; in the fate of Chaos, Pallas was the descendant of Zeus's "death", and the Hebrews were his descendants.

So as long as the rest of the Hebrews died, their material life would end, and their bloodline would end with it.

Moses does not need to do anything, he will automatically gather all the scattered power and become the existence that inherits the fate of the future king of the gods of the two worlds at the same time.

The fate of the world will stand by him - or contradict himself because of him. This is why God pays attention to him alone, and why he can still stand here.

So at this moment, Moses understood what God meant.

He paid a life and fate, and paid the price for his past choices; so God let him experience it all personally and told him the ugliness of human nature.

God made him realize how powerful the power he should have been, and God made him witness the indelible gap between the Egyptian gods and mortals.

One is eternal life and respect, and the other is sleeping in the world.

God also knew that he would be killed, but He still let Moses experience this process himself.

Until now, God asked him "Do you regret it?", but Moses knew that God was actually asking him, "Have you given up?".

As long as he said he gave up, even if he only had one life and fate left, he could still continue to live and be born from death. God would even return to him what he had taken away, and let him have everything he had again.

As long as Moses nodded, as long as he gave up those people, God would bring disaster down from heaven. He would kill all the remaining people, regardless of whether they were pious or unfaithful.

Because in God's eyes, they never existed.

At that time, Moses will ascend to heaven and inherit that noble and sacred destiny. He will become an angel in the presence of the Lord, spreading His eternal glory throughout the world.

Now, all that was left was his own will.

So Moses looked up and gave God his answer.

"...God, I...don't regret it."

Click——

A bolt of thunder flashed across, but it seemed like it was just Moses' own hallucination.

God is still there, but He seems to have become more distant.

But that may not be accurate. After all, He is always so far away... God is omniscient and all-seeing, and He should know everything.

“So the decision I made today should be within God’s expectation, right?”

Being in the kingdom of God, Moses could still see the figure of Aaron on the mountain, and he could also see the Hebrews at the foot of the mountain praying for success on their knees.

He knew that not all of these people were kind or pious. Maybe if you give them a chance, they will commit the crime; if you even put them in their place, they may make another choice without hesitation.

But Moses did not hesitate because of this. He chose to save them not because of their gratitude.

He wanted to do it, that's all. The behavior of the saint is not understood by everyone, let alone he does not think he is a saint.

"To You, O Lord Almighty, I offer all that I have. I offer all that I have, from the past to the future, even though it all comes from You."

Reciting in a low voice, Moses' calm voice echoed throughout the heaven, earth and universe.

“May your way be on earth as it is in heaven.”

"Please allow me to return to the human world, guide your believers, go through trials, and return to the country you promised us."

"..."

He did not raise his head, but at this moment, Moses seemed to see again that the God standing outside of time was smiling at him.

He was making promises to him and also persuading him. He promised Moses as long as he would walk on earth and gave him one last chance to repent.

"...I give you forty days, from east to west, from south to north. You and your people will cross the sea and return to the old kingdom..."

“…When the last day comes, you will see it from my mountain…it will be accessible to everyone who looks there, except you.”

"You will stop there, on the last day before your return, and everything I have given you will be taken back. This is your future destiny."

"You can choose to refuse, but if this is what you want, then..."

God says, “I make a covenant with you.”

······

One day in the sky and one year in the earth.

God said forty days means forty years on earth.

Ever since the fall of the first Pillar God, Hermione's time has been disrupted.

At first, the time slowed down, and only one year out of ten years passed here. As the end approaches, this slowness becomes even more pronounced.

But maybe it's because the nine pillar gods fell one after another, and when the sun went out, the time in the world was no longer restricted.

It returned to its original speed and even became a little faster. As a result, the fight in heaven obviously didn't last long, but a lot of time has passed in the human world.

So when Aaron started climbing the mountain, the sun had not even died on the original water.

The second agreement was made, and the big day just happened to be out of trouble. The endless light shone on the earth again, and then was split into two, completely collapsed and disintegrated, and disappeared into the world of Hermione.

The magic sword that killed the sun seemed to become more magical under the burning of the sun's fire. Where the tip of the sword touched, the [Ben Ben Stone] collided with it.

At this moment, only Amon Ra was left on the huge water surface. And opposite him, the god holding a black sword.
