Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality Chapter 676

Chapter 676: Chapter 237: Inspiration and Understanding_2

Faintly opening his mouth, Kasim was quite satisfied with Aibu, at least when it came to acknowledging his responsibilities during work.

However, other aspects still needed guidance.

“Um… I understand,” he said.

Hesitating for a moment, Aibu nodded in agreement. Kasim noticed his confusion but still chose not to explain.

Not long ago, the envoy he had sent to convey the divine prophecy to the Pharaoh returned again.

The envoy, fulfilling his duties, informed the Pharaoh of the Divine Descending's beginning and end and conveyed the prophecy again–to annihilate those mortals with Sin Blood, then brought back the Pharaoh's indifferent response.

Kasim was aware that Ramses would not come to the Holy City, but like the previous time, aside from delivering the prophecy, the envoy also brought back some news from the City of Memphis that had not been disclosed.

“Last time, the envoy told me that the entity opposing All Gods was called 'the Creator of All Spirits, Eternal and Sacred, to whom all spiritual beings in this world belong.' Such a broad description still feels imprecise…”

“However, just by hearing it, He seems different from Apep, the enemy of the God La in the myths; He is a rational and authoritative deity previously unheard of… And this time, the envoy told me that those Hebrews have created a Fountain containing Life, which helped them survive the previous disaster…”

Silently noting this down, Kasim planned to do nothing. As a loyal follower of the God La, he was soon to spread the joy of Divine Descending to other believers.

Considering the Wisdom of La, the great God Thoth would surely be able to easily resolve troubles, allowing Egypt to return to the dominion of All Gods, and forever enjoy tranquility and peace.

Well… at the very least, it wouldn't be like the God Shu, right?

Looking up slightly, Kasim gazed toward the Sky. However, at that moment, with the ritual ending, the cloud ripped apart by the Sun's light returned to normal.

Compared to Memphis, Heliopolis was far from the core, so the heavy rain was still brewing, and had yet to fall.

“Father…High Priest, I still have some doubts, was what I saw before really just an illusion?”

The voice came from beside him, just as Aibu hesitated again before leaving to carry out his orders.

Although he had already received an explanation, he was still reluctant to believe it.

Since the disaster broke out, he frequently saw some strange sights. Like the Nine Pillars standing unyielding in the Sky, like invisible forces filling the heavens and earth, stirring up great winds and dark clouds.

And like seeing one of those pillars abruptly collapse, accompanied by a shrieking curse resounding in his ears.

Even Thoth's Divine Descending seemed more vivid to him than to others.

Yet Kasim told him not to dwell on those, but rather to focus on doing what a priest of La should do. Those magnificent sights, they were all false.

“That was certainly an illusion, Aibu. Although the sorcerers of the old age claimed that mortals inherently gifted with high intuition could see things normal people cannot, you've always been interested in this. But how do you compare to me?” Kasim asked calmly.

“I am of course… far inferior.”

He sighed–how could he possibly compare to his father? Unable to tell if it was disappointment or relief, Aibu gave a slight bow.

“Then I will attend to my duties now, High Priest.”

“Go ahead.”

With a slight nod, Aibu's form soon vanished into the distance.

Kasim watched his student disappear from view, and then knelt down as did other followers both inside and outside the Temple, silently praying to the God La.

His movements were standard and graceful, formed from countless practices, prompting anyone who saw to commend his devotion.

“La God, may Your Light forever illuminate the earth just as it eternally illuminates the sky.”

“All sin shall turn to dust, Lies and Deceit will have nowhere to hide.”

He had sinned, committed the sin of lies. after all, a person's natural intuition has nothing to do with their status or accomplishments, and in this regard, he was far inferior to his own son and could not see the things he spoke of.

Yet, as one of La's most promising followers, Kasim considered his handling to be beyond reproach.

They were mere delusions of a young man, how could they be real? Allowing such blasphemous words to be known by others would be the greatest offense to the deity.

Such matters were best kept between the two of them, father and son.

Whoosh–

The sound of breaking air started loud but gradually faded, unable to suppress the reaction to the flight.

Thoth used magic to mobilize the invisible wind to lift himself, but this time it was much more difficult than before.

He knew why, because Shu had died, and the authority over the Atmosphere and Wind had also been taken away.

If not for deities like Set, the god of storms and deserts, still existing, the authority associated with Hemenu and the wind would probably have been even more violent.

However, thinking about this, Thoth couldn't help but feel a flicker of emotion in his heart, unsure whether it was envy or pity.

In today's world of Hemenu, the Nine Pillar Gods confront the Outer Gods high above, but in reality, as a world, the number of deities in Upper and Lower Egypt, although not as many as Chaos, is actually far more than just those nine.

Frog gods, fly gods such as those animal deities, the protective gods of each Nome, and the River Gods and other nature gods, they are all part of the deities of Hemenu.

Yet, just as only those with Intermediate Divine Power or above in Chaos could sense the turbulence in the Sea of Origin, among the gods of Upper and Lower Egypt, apart from the Nine Pillar Gods, the other weaker deities had already lost consciousness in their stupor.

They would probably have to wait until this war ends to have a chance of waking up.

“We've avoided one crisis, but the future can only be decided by others.”

“Whether it is a sleep from which they never awaken, or they awaken after the danger has passed, no one knows. Drifting along…this is the original sin of the weak.”

With a calm expression, Thoth thought of Hapi, the Nile God.

If it weren't for his Godhood attribute being overly regional, he would likely be sitting as one of the players on the chessboard by now.

This ancient deity, born during the era of Atum, was no different in face of great catastrophe.

“Huh–it's right ahead.”

Heliopolis was not as big as imagined, and in the blink of an eye, the city walls were before him.

Thoth stopped in his tracks, looking at that familiar figure, who seemed even more youthful and beautiful than a thousand years ago.

“Isis, long time no see.”

Speaking flatly, Thoth's power locked onto the opponent in front of him.

Divine Power was abundant, from the limit of her 'Ba's storage of Divine Power, she still had at least eighty percent power, indicating that helping the Sin People did not drain her too much.

“You have betrayed La, betrayed the beings of Hemenu to embrace the Outer Gods.”

“By La's command, I will stop you from interfering with this war that concerns the world, and give you the judgment you should have received a thousand years ago.”

As his voice fell, the legendary book used to create writing floated up beside Thoth.

Language, Wisdom, and Magic, these were always a perfect trifecta of authority.

And unlike La, who used reincarnation as an efficient means to accommodate new strength, Thoth was using this book to carry the power of magic, gradually integrating it into himself to become another 'Ka' of his own.

The elements of the surrounding world were mobilized by him, helped trivially by some Divine Power brought down during Divine Descending, assembling into form.

Thoth appeared murderously inclined, yet on the opposite side, resting sideways on the rampart, facing the imminent attack, Isis merely smiled lightly.

“Come on, you're just an incarnation with not much Divine Power. With your mastery of magic, it's still not enough to use it to compete against Divine Power.”

“You might disturb me, but it's not possible for you to truly kill me. The outcome of this war is not something we can influence.”

Stretching lazily, Isis looked at the increasingly heavy clouds and casually invited:

“Thoth, you are also considered to have split your 'Ba' and descended to the Mortal Realm.”

“Then you know, how I used the power of magic to sever connections, separating myself from my authority, and faking my own death?”

Without speaking, Thoth seemed unmoved.

The air around exploded with bursts of crackling sounds, as if he was fighting the other party with magic.

“It's a very interesting piece of magic, a byproduct of my research on a ritual, originally meant to be used against La…”

Not knowing that she had successfully backstabbed La in the original mythology, Isis herself didn't think her research would succeed.

Contrarily, she believed that this byproduct from her research was truly valuable.

“Come, let me tell you about it. The progress of magic lies in sharing, right?”

With a still smiling face, Isis drew a symbol in the air as if the person opposite her was not an opponent but a disciple seeking her knowledge.
