Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 19 Blood Sacrifice

Collecting the seeds, Seth reopened the Gate of God.

However, he did not return to the temple where he stayed before.

He could not guarantee that the temple was free from the remaining contaminants of the bloody river.

He has not yet figured out the strange power of that long river.

Once he figures it out, let him know what the desert god's sanction is.

Arriving at another temple, Seth sat on the throne and wrote a letter to Best.

Tell her that she has found the bloody river and let her come to him.

Later, Seth wrote another letter to Thoth, the god of wisdom.

I want to know what the relationship between Hathor and humans is.

It stands to reason that the world and everything in it were created by Ra.

Humans are no exception. Why does Hathor say humans are her children?
I can only wait for Thoth to answer this question.

After writing the letter, Set took Hathor's crystal and thought about it before speaking.

"Ago."

The giant yellow sand bird that was previously given its true name and condensed from Set's divine power quickly flew into the temple.

It landed respectfully on the temple's floor tiles engraved with divine patterns.

"Owner."

Seth put the crystal into its body and attached a divine protection.

"Go to Osiris and tell him it was from Hathor."

"Yes." The yellow sand bird responded and flew out of the temple.

After dealing with these matters, Seth was about to carve divine patterns on the temple walls again.

Then he sensed a team of three hundred people coming towards the temple a hundred miles away.

This temple is relatively remote and there is no oasis nearby.

Their goal can only be the temple.

It's really strange, how do they know there is a god in the temple here?
The original Seth noticed this, but did not explore the reason.

Because he will not accept sacrifices, whether humans come or not is a matter of consequence.

After thinking about it, Seth decided to accept the sacrifice.

He wanted to study the blank power generated by faith.

With the golden feathers given by La, he is not afraid of losing control of his research.

Having made his decision, Seth rebuilt the temple.

A huge stone pillar engraved with intricate lotus patterns.

Walls and domes painted with sandstorms and desert sunsets.

There are pools of golden water lilies on both sides of the temple.

And a tall statue of a god made of yellow sand condensed by divine power.

With the support of Seth's powerful divine power, a new temple was built in a few breaths.

Seth took out the golden feather given by Ra, and the breath of the sun filled the entire temple.

After placing the golden feather inside the statue, Seth sat on the throne and waited for the arrival of the sacrificial team.

After one solar day, Seth got a little bored.

He forgot that the humans who came to offer sacrifices basically walked on foot to show their piety.

After all, most gods do not accept sacrifices.

However, Ra’s oracle was already known to the gods.

The gods would not refuse a human request for sacrifice.

Humanity will soon learn this.

Yawning, Seth took a nap.

Another solar day passed, and the team arrived outside the temple.

Seth sat on a throne in front of the statue.

Not long after, they were led by an old man wearing a white robe, gray hair, and a gold ring on his wrist.

Followed by six eleven or twelve-year-old children wearing the same clothes as the old man.

Three men and three women.

After that, there were ten young and strong men wearing simple obsidian armor.

Behind them, a hundred ragged men and women lined up in an orderly manner. At the end of the team were twenty young and strong men also wearing simple obsidian armor.

The rest of the group waited outside the temple.

The leader of the old man lowered his head and walked to a stop not far from the throne, then raised his arms and raised his palms.

The people behind him repeated the old man's actions.

God cannot be looked directly at, as disrespect will bring divine punishment.

"Great God, please forgive us for disturbing you." The old man said respectfully.

"I forgive you." Seth said nonchalantly.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. The god did not let them leave, and it seemed that there was hope that he would agree to their sacrifice.

"Great God, we are humans living in an oasis of water and grass."

"Because we are weak and confused, we would like to ask that we be allowed to worship you."

"These one hundred slaves are sacrifices, please accept them."

Weak?

Seth raised his eyebrows. He had become one with the desert before and had a clear understanding of the humans in the oasis.

A really weak oasis will only be plundered and killed by powerful nearby oasis.

The most important thing is that they believe that blood sacrifice to living people can obtain God's blessing.

Therefore, they are not weak to be able to sacrifice the blood of a hundred slaves and come here.

Naturally, Seth didn't expose it because it had nothing to do with him.

"Okay." Seth replied.

When the old man heard Seth's straightforward answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic!

He didn't expect this god to agree so readily!
"Praise you and ask you to tell me the name of your god." The old man said excitedly.

"The God of the Desert." Seth said calmly.

After saying this, the old man and the people behind him were shocked!
Desert God? !
They are neither stupid nor stupid.

Naturally, we know that there are differences between gods and gods.

After all, the gods have been building temples on the earth for a long time.

The God of the Desert is the god who controls the entire desert!

Life in the oasis where they live may be good or bad, it all depends on whether the desert is calm or not!
After the unparalleled shock, the old man's face turned red with excitement, and his temples were pounding!

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind!
That means they are blessed by the God of the Desert!

"Praise you, Lord God of the Desert!" the old man shouted loudly.

The people behind him also shouted, equally excited.

It was also when they shouted out the God of the Desert that Seth saw the birth of the blank power of faith.

This proves that they began to believe in themselves.

The blank power fell on Seth, wanting to merge with Seth.

However, Seth used his divine power to isolate these blank powers.

After they were isolated by Seth, they fell on the statue behind Seth.

In an instant, all the golden feathers in the statue were swallowed up.

Seth stared at the golden feather. It was no different from when it had not absorbed the blank power, still exuding the aura of the sun.

After watching for a while, Seth couldn't figure out why.

It was also at this time that Seth smelled blood.
