Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 13 Fulfilling the Promise
The gods were equally concerned with matters of faith.

After all, basically all the gods have done it before to kill the evil god.

I have also seen evil gods who are completely controlled by faith. The gods do not want to become such gods.

Ra slowly raised the red gold Ankh in his hand, and golden feathers appeared out of thin air and landed in front of the gods.

Seth picked up the golden feather on his leg, bringing with it the blazing temperature and the breath of the sun.

"If you touch the golden feather to the statue with the power of faith, the golden feather will absorb the blank power generated by faith." Ra God put down his hand and said.

Now the gods were relieved. After all, protecting humans was equivalent to accepting human sacrifices.

The power of faith derived from this is too dangerous.

Thoth put down the reed pen that recorded the contents of the divine meeting and waited for a while to make sure that the gods had nothing to say.

Then he looked at the god Ra on the supreme throne.

Ra didn't speak again, just looked down at the gods.

"The divine agreement is over!" Thoth said loudly.

Then Ra turned into a red sun again and left through the temple dome.

After Ra left, the gods relaxed and discussed how to protect mankind.

Seth put away his feathers and began to worry that his authority would be weakened!
He couldn't accept this. He had never had such a powerful power, so forget it.

If you have it and then have it taken away, that won’t do!

But it was La who gave the order, and he couldn't beat him...

After a moment of distress, Seth suddenly figured it out!

He can't defeat the Supreme Sun God, but he can basically defeat other gods!
After all, he is also the god of war and strength!
Whoever dares to change the desert, be prepared to receive a beating from him!
After thinking about it, Seth felt refreshed!
Then Seth felt someone's eyes staring at him.

Following the feeling, he saw Shu looking at him with a smile.

"Little Seth, your injury has healed."

It's not a question, it's an affirmation.

Although Seth was a bit uncomfortable with being called Little Seth, according to the biological relationship, Shu was his grandfather.

Wait, it seems to be the grandfather, also the maternal grandfather...

"It's time for you to come back on duty again." Shu smiled again.

Unable to hide, Seth could only admit it: "Put it together and let me know."

"Natural." Shu nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Nut spoke, his face full of anticipation: "My children, it's time for us to talk."

Tefnut looked at Nut coldly: "What do you want to talk to them about?"

Nut did not answer, but stared at Seth, Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys, waiting for their answers.

This attitude made Tefnut angry, and she shouted: "Nut, why don't you give up the stars?"

Tefnut's voice made the gods look sideways, and they all looked towards where the main gods were.

Kebu stood up and stood in front of Nut: "Mother Goddess, the stars are our children."

"There is no way we would give up our children."

Shu heard this and said, "What about the four of them? Aren't they your children?"

"Partiality." The black cat transformed into Best said mockingly.

Matt looked at Kebu and said, "You are neither fair nor just when you treat your children."

Seth led Nut and Keb to be criticized.

To a certain extent, the words of gods such as Maat and Bethet carry more weight than the four Bites who cursed them in anger.

Isis suddenly stood up and said with a mocking look on her face: "We will fulfill what we promised, right now."

As soon as these words came out, Kebu's face was filled with disbelief!
Nut stood up quickly on the throne, stood next to Keb, and stared at Isis.

"Repeat what you said!!"

"We will fulfill our promise, right now." Isis repeated what she just said with a sarcastic face.

"Thank you, my dear child!" Nut shed tears of excitement.

Kebu's face was also filled with tears.

Seeing this, Thoth looked at Isis: "What promise?" They were forced to make a promise. The gods did not know it, and naturally they would not know the content of the oath.

"If you want to harm yourselves, you can break your promise." Shu frowned.

"It won't hurt us, it's just a trivial thing." Osiris stood up, took Isis's hand, and smiled.

"We have discussed this matter, and what Sister A said is our unanimous decision." Seth also stood up and said.

"Yes." Nephthys nodded vigorously.

Seeing the four gods Seth like this, Shu, Thoth and other gods couldn't say anything.

"Let's go rescue your eldest brother now!" Nut was extremely excited.

"Wait." Hathor suddenly shouted.

The gods were very surprised. Why did Hathor stop?

Although Hathor has built a temple on the ground, he has mostly stayed in the City of the Sun for a long time.

She will not get involved in any disputes between gods. This is a common understanding among the gods.

The entanglements between the sky goddess, the earth god and the desert god, the god of plants, the god of life, and the god of houses are also famous among the gods.

Putting the two together, the gods were naturally surprised.

Hathor ignored the gazes of the gods and took out a transparent long column crystal and handed it to Osiris.

Within the crystal are black seeds.

"These are new seeds I cultivated. Please help humans so that they can use these seeds."

It turned out to be a seed. The gods knew the reason, but they were a little disappointed for some reason.

They also thought Hathor played some role in the dispute.

Seth was a little curious. Hathor's feelings for humans seemed unusual.

During the divine council, Ra did not finish his words. Hathor mistakenly thought that humans would be exterminated, so he interrupted Ra's words.

There was also the newly cultivated barley seeds sent by Nephthys.

Now the seeds are sent again, all for the sake of mankind.

But Hathor himself hardly leaves the City of the Sun...

"I will." Osiris accepted the seeds and smiled.

Hathor showed a perfect smile: "Thank you."

The higher gods and lower gods were fascinated by Hathor's smile.

Except for the four gods Seth who are unclear, and the two gods sky and earth who don't care.

The other main gods had complicated expressions, but the most obvious expression was pity.

Why pity Hathor?

Set was curious and decided to ask Best about it later.

"Let's go," Nut urged.

Hearing this, Seth wanted to laugh a little.

It's ridiculous to urge them to destroy the stars.

However, Kebu and Nut cannot feel this absurdity for the time being.

Suppressing the corners of his lips that were about to rise, Seth, Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys followed Keb and Nut and left the Pantheon.

The upper gods and lower gods also left one after another.

They saw the excitement and understood the oracle of Ra.

It's time to do as the oracle says.

The other main gods also left.

Before leaving, Best looked at the empty Moon Goddess, and the cat's face was full of anticipation.

"Are you going to play tricks on humans again?" Sekhmet asked when he saw Best's smile.

"It's not teasing, it's just playing with them." Best snorted and ran away.
