Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 17 The Prophecy of Changhe
It's not so much a river as it is a living creature.

But in the river of blood, Seth didn't sense any sign of life.

This made Seth even more curious, judging from his fused memories.

All rivers and lakes on the earth come from the Nile River.

The Nile River was preceded by the Great Flood, and Apep jumped out of the Great Flood with darkness, death, and chaos.

The great flood poured on the earth and became the Nile River. Countless lives existed because of the Nile River.

However, from the beginning of creation to the present day, the Nile River has not embodied its own god.

Even tributaries and lakes were not born with gods.

Nor does the Gate of God under Rasher confer such authority on any of the Sons of God.

Therefore, life cannot exist in rivers.

Seth's consciousness flowed all the way to the distance along with the long river of blood.

However, within a few breaths, the long bloody river could no longer see its boundaries, nor could it see upstream or downstream.

The blood color of Changhe became more and more intense, which made Seth feel a little nauseous.

Suddenly, the bloody river stopped beside a sand dune.

Out of caution, Seth did not approach immediately.

He observed the bloody river and even mobilized his divine power to investigate.

The only feedback I got was that it was just an ordinary river.

There is no breath of life or divine power.

It can be seen that the river came into being from scratch, and then became so wide that the edge cannot be seen.

He didn't believe it was an ordinary river.

Set separated a ray of consciousness to control the desert in the distance.

After a while, a desert wolf howled and was swept away by the yellow sand and thrown into the bloody river.

Ouch!

The desert wolf barked crazily and swam toward the shore while pawing its limbs.

Seth watched quietly and did not stop him.

After a long time, the desert wolf crawled out of the bloody river. It stared in horror at the desert that rolled it over.

Xi Ya whined a few times and ran away.

Set on the side had already inspected the desert wolf with his divine power.

It hasn't changed much, it's still the same desert wolf.

Is there no danger in the bloody river...

After thinking about it, Seth decided to catch it first.

When Seth mobilized his divine power, the bloody river suddenly shrank rapidly.

I saw everything upstream, downstream, and the other side of the long river.

Seeing this, Seth quickly used his divine power to carry the desert towards the bloody river, trying to trap it!
However, the moment Seth's divine power touched the bloody river.

A golden sun appeared before his eyes.

The breath of the sun also filled his perception!

Before Seth could sense it carefully, the golden sun twisted and disappeared like a phantom in the water!
All Seth could see at this moment was the endless sunken desert.

The bloody river disappeared!

After searching around the dunes, Seth had to accept the result.

Compared to the frustration of being run away by a river, Seth cared more about the golden sun.

The sun represents the supreme god Ra and the authority of the supreme god Ra.

However, the breath of the sun he sensed was completely different from the breath of the sun from La.

It was Ra's divine blood that healed the wounds caused by Apep.

Seth can be sure that his perception is correct!

Thinking about the bloody river, Seth no longer spread himself like flowing water.

After a while, Seth gave up thinking about the bloody river.

He knew too little about the river.

If you want to know what it is, it seems that you can only start from Best.

Taking another look at the huge pit left by the disappearance of the bloody river, Seth gathered back all the spreading consciousness.

After taking a moment, Seth opened his eyes.

Murals depicting yellow sand swallowing monsters and human sacrifices come into view.

It was the mural of his temple. Seth let out a long breath and fell down on the throne. Even with the nearly unlimited divine power provided by the triple authority, Seth felt mentally exhausted.

Rubbing his temples, Seth noticed a letter blocked outside the temple.

Driving Anka to put the letter in, a gust of wind blew in front of Seth's eyes.

He touched the breeze.

The wind instantly disintegrated into a series of sacred text.

After a quick glance, it was a letter from Shu.

Two things were explained. One is that the rotation order has been rearranged.

After this solar year ends, Seth and Bethet take turns in the next solar year.

Another thing is about Kebu, Nut, and the stars.

Although Shu didn't know the promise Seth and the others had made.

However, what Kebu and Nut did was to bring life to the stars.

It is obvious then what this promise is.

After so many days, the stars were still stars, and Shu wanted to know what happened after the divine council.

After thinking for a while, Seth raised his hand and wrote a series of words in the holy book.

The content is that he saw the ordering of rotations and the failure to give life to the stars.

Seth did not say the specific process.

The words in the holy book turned into a palm-sized yellow sand bird and left the temple.

Seth yawned, left the throne, and walked to the room inside the temple, which contained a bed.

You can take a nap in the God's Seat, but if you really want to refresh your tired spirit, you still need a bed.

Lying on the soft bed, Seth closed his eyes and slept.

After an unknown amount of time, Seth heard the sound of the river flowing...

Where does the river come from in the desert?

Sensing something was wrong, Seth opened his eyes.

I saw a golden sun hanging high in the sky.

A long bloody river with no visible edge, no upstream or downstream, was flowing beside it.

Seth's expression changed, and he mobilized his divine power to break the illusion!

He was obviously sleeping in the temple and there was no way he could run to the river.

Or next to the bloody river that escaped from his hands.

Then there is only one explanation, this is an illusion!

However, Seth's expression soon changed. He could no longer sense the existence of divine power!

A series of changes made Seth particularly annoyed.

"Hello, young god."

Suddenly, the words of a thick voice reached Seth's ears.

He looked around and saw no one.

The riverside was empty except for him.

"It's me, the long river in front of you." The thick voice spoke again.

Seth cast his gaze on the bloody river and asked tentatively: "What on earth are you?"

"Is it a monster or an evil god?"

"No, I'm just a river." The thick voice denied, saying: "I came here to tell you my prophecy."

"Prophecy?" Seth frowned.

"Yes." The thick voice said proudly: "My prediction is extremely accurate."

“It never goes wrong, it always comes true.”

Seth said dubiously: "Then what is your prophecy for me?"

The thick voice sighed and said: "Your future is not very good."

"I will be killed by my nephew, and all my authority will be taken away, and the last possibility of resurrection will be wiped out."

Seth was shocked when he heard this.

He avoided Nephthys because Nephthys was the trigger for his rebellion with Isis and Osiris.

Plus, what Nephthys did in the myth was really not good.

So he didn't dare to gamble and could only avoid Nephthys himself.
