152, the realm of the source of divine power

In order to make the Land of Marduk a real "field of the source of divine power", Goddess Muyun must do everything by herself. This is very similar to the fact that Pharaoh gave Amon a fief in the Duke plain, but it was just a document, and Amon also needed to occupy and reclaim it by himself.

Goddess Mu Yun requested to move the "sinners" in the battle of the gods to the land of Malduk. These people originally believed in the gods who defeated the country and were also the ancestors of the miners in Duke Town. They were punished to mine divine stones in extremely desolate and arduous environments. Survival and reproduction faced great challenges. Only those with the strongest bloodline can survive and still be in danger of extinction.

At this time, Mu Yun showed miracles, taught them the skills of the miners in Duke Town, and lowered the oracle of the patron saint, so that they could survive in this sinister land of Malduk for generations. Since these people were descendants of sinners, according to the oldest oracle of Anunaqi, they were not allowed to leave the land of Malduk. This ancient oracle passed down from generation to generation and later became the decree of the Kingdom of Hati, but few people knew its origin.

This decree has been enforced by various dynasties for hundreds of years, and there are also very realistic reasons. The tribes of Duke Town are the best craftsmen on the mainland. Duke Town is such an important place for the production of divine stones, and later became the production of fine iron ore. If these miners leave Duke Town, it will be a loss for any kingdom, unless Duke Town no longer exists. If there is no restriction of the decree, who would be willing to live in such a difficult environment for generations?

As for what happened later, it is not necessary for Schrödinger to tell, Amon himself knew very well. The residents of Duke Town betrayed the oracle and lost the protection of Goddess Muyun. Enriel launched a flood to destroy it, making the Duke Plain a fertile land of thousands of miles. In the ancient prophecy, the real god of gods will be born here, perhaps because Enriel believed that the time had come.

As for what does the "field of the source of divine power" mean? Believers claim to be servants of the gods. Their faith, sacrifice and prayer are the source of the power of the gods. This power is different from ordinary divine and physical skills, but a certain "divine power" possessed by the gods.

Schrödinger has never had his own independent divine realm, so her understanding of this "divine power" is not comprehensive. It is mainly in two aspects. First, it is able to gather strength to make the soul stronger, just like having many selfs. These countless selfs are condensed together to appreciate the ultimate meaning of life in the world. Secondly, it can help the gods face the "question of destiny and the judgment of the end of the day."

When Schrödinger said this, Amon couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Does the gods also have to face the 'question of fate and the judgment of the end of the world'?"

Schrödinger's body shivered slightly and said, "Whether it is physical skills or divine skills, if you practice to the peak of the ninth level, you will have the power to fight against gods in the human world, and are often called demigods, such as Gilgamesh and Enqidu. But the real demigods did not mean this at first, but people who may become gods after being guided by the divine system, but in the eyes of the world, they are often gods, such as me back then.

If you have a level nine achievement with two sides of strength, even the real demigod in ancient legends will be comparable to those gods in many myths, and you can even have a divine realm. But to truly obtain the transcendent realm of eternal life, the 'question of fate, the judgment of the end of the world' is a test. Do you know why the Nine-Linked Gods are named?"

Amon blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't it because of the Nine-Lian God?"

Schrödinger: "It is indeed because of the Nine-Linked Gods, but you don't know the real reason. Before Horus, only these nine people became the gods who truly gained eternal life and transcendence. Horus was the tenth and last one. Other gods, including me back then, were just demigods. I was only one step away from the last step, but I didn't succeed in the end."

...

Amon went to attend the blessing ceremony of Goddess Isis, and stayed in the city-state of Mengfeisi for only seven or eight days. He sent Medanzo back the next day after he arrived at Mengfeisi to let Moses and others leave. Although he had been prepared for a long time, it would take time to pack everything and set off. So when Amon returned to the territory, Moses and the others had just left for a few days.

More than 60 people of the tribesmen had more than 20 carriages, which were loaded with various supplies, including farm tools, clothing, food, seeds, tents, living vessels, etc. They went to reclaim the wasteland and rebuild their hometowns, and the most important migration after ending their misery fate. Naturally, they had to take as much as possible with all the things they needed.

Especially after leaving the territory of Eju, they had to travel thousands of miles of desert and hundreds of miles of swamps and jungles. Food, drinking water and self-defense weapons were indispensable. More than 20 cars were loaded. Such a team could not move very quickly. When the orders of the new Pharaoh were passed across the country, they had just arrived at the Helio city-state, which was also the closest city-state to Mengfeisi on the east bank of the Ronnie God River, and it was still far from the border of Eju.

Moses was blocked at the city-state checkpoint. The gatekeeper looked at the general's warrant and told them: "Now that His Majesty the New Pharaoh has ascended the throne, according to the latest decree, you cannot leave anymore. Fortunately, it is not far from the city-state of Herac. Please return to the territory immediately. If you continue to move forward in violation of the order, you will be arrested and forced to repatriate."

Moses had no choice but to make the convoy turn around and head south. The disappointment of the tribesmen was indescribable. They waited for six years and had experienced so many hardships. They just saw the glimmer of hope, and the sudden change was extinguished. Why did the damn Pharaoh Rases II die at this time? And this change happened in the Eju Empire!

Once people who rely on faith support despair, their painful hesitation is indescribable, and they even lose their strength to walk. Moses comforted the tribe and said, "We have been patient and waiting for so long, why don't we continue to persevere? As long as the gods have not given up on us, there is no need to be disappointed!"

The tribesmen asked Moses: "But where are the gods?"

The twelve miners taught by Moses said one after another: "The gods are watching us, and as long as we do not lose our faith in our hearts, we can find our home."

That night, they did not pass by the town, but were in a sheltered place on the bank of the Ronnie River. They stopped the convoy to spend the night in the tent. In the distance was the surging water, and in the near distance was the mountains and forests. Moses ordered the twelve tribesmen who had practiced the power of one and both sides to take turns to watch, while he sat in the car and meditated, calling Arha in his heart.

"My god, the savior of hope! I call on you and ask you to hear my voice. Do not let the fire of hope be extinguished again, and guide my people to return to their homeland, even if they dedicate all my body, mind and life, as long as they return to the land of Duke Town. God, I am your servant, please help me."

At this moment, Moses heard a voice coming from his mind: "The gods are watching you and your tribe, please come to the dense forest and receive the guidance of the fire of hope."

Moses quickly opened his eyes and came out of the carriage. He did not let the vigilant people notice it. He quietly entered the dense forest on the side of the road with an iron branch staff. There was indeed a faint light of fire in the distance. He walked through the bushes and came to a valley. He saw a bush burning in the flames. When he approached, he saw that the trees were intact in the fire. Two people stood on the open ground. He quickly knelt down and bowed: "Moses, the messenger of the gods, was summoned."

One of the messengers said: "Moses, there is a new situation now. Pharaoh Eju will not let you leave. Once you stay, you may never have a chance to return to your hometown. Do you choose to return or continue?"

Moses replied, “If the gods can guide the way, of course I choose to move on and return to my hometown.”

Another messenger asked again: "This road is extremely difficult, and it will be even more difficult to lead so many tribesmen. You have a chance to walk by yourself, and the gods allow you to make a choice."

Moses pursed his lips and said, "No, if I want to leave alone, I will be able to leave long ago! The gods told me that I would guide my tribesmen back to my homeland. Even if I put in all my efforts, I would not be able to step onto the land of Duke Town. I would also help my tribesmen fulfill their wishes."

The messenger nodded: "Very good, you did not disappoint the gods! Give me your cane and let me teach you how to do it."

Moses handed over the iron branch staff to the messenger of God. Link turned around and took out the inlaid wind magic dance inside, and replaced it with the one that was made into a space magic weapon. He turned around and handed the stick to Moses and said, "I will teach you how to use it. You can continue to move forward with this stick. The messenger of the gods will guide the way ahead and wipe away the traces of your passing behind."

...

Moses stayed in the dense forest for half a night, and then quietly rushed back at dawn. At dawn, he summoned everyone and said, "Last night, the gods summoned me. He told us that we cannot return to Amon's territory, otherwise we will never have the chance to return to our homeland. From today on, we will walk in the deep mountains and wilderness, avoid all levels and tracking, and walk back to our hometown with our feet. The gods are watching us and will guide the road."

The worried tribesmen were surprised and talked a lot when they heard this. They traveled thousands of miles away from the official road and walked in the wilderness. They lost their convoys and supplies. How could they cross the desert and swamps? Doing so would be like becoming a fugitive slave. They would be hunted down in Egypt. I don’t know how many dangers they would face. It was almost an impossible task.

Moses and others were almost talking about it, and then asked: "The gods are testing our beliefs. Who would be the eternal slave of Pharaoh to build the temple and tomb? You can go back now. People of the tribe, who would have you willing to embark on the road to go home and follow me into the mountains?"

The twelve power tribe members stood up: "We are willing to go on this path. The gods have given strength and given light guidance."

Moses nodded with relief and said, "The God gave you a title called Judge. From today on, you will be the twelve Judges among the Dukezhen tribe. You will lead the tribes to sacrifice to the gods and strengthen the strength of your heart."

Someone came forward and asked, "But the gods did not give us strength. Moses, can you guarantee that the gods will always protect us from returning home?"

Moses leaned on a cane and said, "No one can make a guarantee in the name of the gods! This is just the God's promise to our people, providing selfless guidance and help. The power belongs to you, and the faith makes you stronger. Hope is in your heart and the road is at your feet."

In the end, all the tribesmen followed Moses to abandon their carriage and entered the dense forests in the mountains. Although some people were hesitant, a large number of tribesmen made such a choice, and they did not dare to go back alone. Moses walked through the valley where he met the messenger yesterday, passed through the bushes that had burned with fire, and entered a small path in the mountains on the east bank of the Ronnie River.

He didn't know that the valley was where Amon had been chased, and the path that the God envoy guided them was the way that Amon had escaped from the pursuit and went to Mengfeisi in the wilderness. Now Amon asked his tribesmen to leave along this road, and only some places needed to bypass the city-states and towns. Most of the other sections were passed by Amon himself, so he could avoid the patrols of the city-state garrisons.

The car was abandoned by the road, but the tribesmen still led cattle, horses and donkeys. These animals had grass on the road and could be slaughtered as food if necessary, because they had almost no chance to buy supplies in the town. Most of the more than 60 tribesmen were strong young miners, who tried to unload the supplies on the car, and let the animals carry or carry them on their backs, and walked through the wilderness path with difficulty.

If you walk like this, it will affect your speed. Moses saw it but did not stop the tribesmen from carrying animals and supplies. After all, no one could walk such a long way without his hand. Although the gods gave him a magical cane, they also ordered in advance that it would be best not to use it.

The twelve Judges were the most determined supporters of their return home. Their names were Odnie, Ehurs, Shanga, Deborah, Gideon, Tuola, Jair, Jephtha, Ebizan, Elun, Ayton, Samson, and Joshua, the servant of Moses, and asked on the way: "We will become slaves to escape when we go. We cannot buy things in the towns, and can only rely on the supplies we carry with us, let alone crossing the desert. Do we need unified planning?"

Moses nodded and said, "Then you are responsible for registering the materials, managing and distributing them in a unified manner. If the food we carry is saved and used without delaying on the road, it should be enough. Just bring enough drinking water before entering the desert."

Joshua received the order and counted all the animals and food carried by his tribes, calculated the amount of food to be consumed every day, and distributed them regularly and regularly. There were not many mountains and ridges in the Helio city-state, but far from the Ronnie Valley, there were continuous wilderness and dense forests. As long as you avoid inhabited villages and towns, almost no one would find them.

Medanzo was driving the crystal shuttle in front of the alert. Link quietly followed the team with a puppet eye mirror and a passing lamp, erasing the traces of the passing of the group. Link was born as a clan leader of a savage in the cave. He has been good at traveling through the mountains and tracking prey since he was a child. He is naturally the best at doing these things.

...

John returned to the territory and reported to Amon that Moses and his tribe had abandoned their carriages and left on the road. Amon nodded and said hard work, and then ordered John to continue patrolling the territory every day as usual.

As it turns out, Amon no longer needs to trap Aju again, and he can leave at any time, but he has been staying in the territory. He is an imperial general who abides by the law and is honest and honest. On the contrary, Schrödinger couldn't hold back and came to ask Amon: "Why are you not leaving yet? Whether you are returning to the Duke Plain or escorting Moses in secret, it is better than staying here! Do you still want to stay in the Aju Empire to get promoted and make a fortune?"

Amon smiled bitterly and said, "You know why I don't leave, why should you come to tease me on purpose?"

The cat bulged his cheeks and said, "Is it because of her? You can't rest assured that you can't protect yourself." The "her" she said obviously refers to the guardian of the Saint Mary of the Temple of Isis.

Amon nodded and said, "Yes, of course it's because of her. According to you, Goddess Isis is no longer there, and today's incident has finally happened. Horus has lost the main god position of the Nine-Linked Gods, so the status of the Temple of Isis may also be shaken."

Maoer smiled: "You are already the general of the Empire, and you won't look at the problem so simply, right? Isis's guardian of the Saint is just a symbol. Even if the Pharaoh wants to worship the new imperial god, he must consider the people's faith habits. Although the status of the Temple of Isis has declined, why should you worry about Maria? Do you think Maria has nothing but the identity of Isis's guardian of the Saint?"

Schrödinger's words are very reasonable. The guardian saint of the Temple of Isis is a symbol of the imperial theocracy. The main temples of the city-states in various places in Eju are the Temple of Horus, while the main temple of Mengfeisi is the Temple of Isis, and it has also become the center of the theocracy of the entire Eju. The reason is complicated.

On the one hand, of course, it is because of the unique status of Goddess, which is related to the divine realm of the gods. On the other hand, it is because the main territory of Eju is divided into two prosperous areas, the upper and lower Ejus. In Ejus, there must be a center that symbolizes the domination of the divine power and the rule of royal power. The existence of Ivis guards the goddess has a dual background of history and reality.

Even if the new Pharaoh wanted to believe in the new imperial god, he still needed to consolidate the rule of the Lower Eju. The status of the Goddess of Isis may be weakened, but Maria's prestige in Lower Eju is already very stable. If she could adapt to the situation and know how to cooperate, it would not be difficult for her to cope with new changes. Amon even believed that Maria had the talent of the imperial prime minister, and even if she was not the guardian saint of Isis, she was fully qualified and capable of becoming the new imperial high priest.

But Amon was still worried, what was he worried about? Thinking of this in his heart, he said to Schrödinger: "It's because of her, but not entirely because of her. I want to stay here and watch it change. If it's good for Moses and the others, at least you can get the latest decrees in time and use my identity to provide protection. Another reason is of course because of you."

Schrödinger tilted his head and said, "And me?"
