Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 666 - 232 God Falls

The biggest difference between the Egyptian gods and the Innate Deities of Chaos, even compared to the deities of the Nine Realms, is that they can plunder authority from each other and can more easily die or be reborn.

For the former, La itself is the best proof, and for the latter, in the original myths, the God of Storms, Seth, once killed his brother, Osiris, the God of Agriculture, by simply inflicting physical injury and then cut his body into pieces.

But later, Isis resurrected him, without complicated processes; she simply pieced Osiris’s body back together, then resurrected a deity from death.

Such an easy reversal of a god’s life and death is partly because the concept of "resurrection" and "rebirth" is very powerful in the world of Hemenu. Yet from another perspective, this is also a manifestation of the gods’ inherent fragility.

Compared to deities of other divine systems, the Egyptian gods do not have such a profound connection with their own authority, thus their essence is not as transcendent.

In such cases, the cost of bringing a god to life or death naturally varies greatly.

Of course, regardless, every appearance in any world ultimately reflects some aspect of that world’s fundamental rules.

The unique characteristics of the Hemenu gods are directly related to the chaos and fragmentation of the spiritual power of their world.

Because in this world, whether it is humans or gods, even all living beings, their spirits are not unified.@@@@

In mortal belief, the soul of all things is divided into five parts: the "name" of a life, the "image" painted on external objects, the "heart" capable of discernment and cognition, the "Ba," symbolizing instincts and desires, and the "Ka" that protects life.

The Egyptians believe that these five elements together constitute a complete soul, "Akh."

However, mortals’ understanding is always superficial; they cannot see through the interaction behind spirit and flesh.

Even now, existing purely in the form of "Ba," the divine power that once belonged to a deity still surged through her body.

Having lost the "Ka" that carried authority, Isis only lost the means of regenerating divine power; henceforth, her power will diminish with every use. However, over the past thousands of years, apart from maintaining her eternal youth and life, she never squandered her remaining legacy.

Therefore, being in the Mortal Realm, resolving the grand natural disasters created by Shu high above was not such a difficult task for Isis.

"...Madam, the Righteous called by the Lord."

Though somewhat skeptical, since the scepter in his hand gave no warning, even at their first meeting, Messe still trusted this unfamiliar lady: "As you said, we indeed need your help now."

"The Lord’s followers are suffering from the disasters wrought by the deities of Barbarous Nations; their lives are hard to sustain. Although we can solve other problems, a person can go ten days without food, but not ten days without water."

"That’s easy to solve; I can take care of this problem."

Her lips slightly upturned, a smile seemed to briefly cross the young woman’s face: "However, I’ve heard that while an individual can maintain the purity of faith, a people cannot."

"Great Prophet of the Hebrews, can you guarantee to me that every single person saved with my help will remain a follower of God?"

"...I can’t see into their hearts, madam, but I will certainly try my best to discern."

After a moment’s silence, Messe made a promise.

"Very well, since that’s the case, then I will solve this problem for you."
