Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 25 Betrayal and Disappearance

At the source of the Nile, a temple made of sky-blue crystal stands.

Keb and Nut watched the sun rise, representing the supreme god.

They have never felt so excited!
Even after the creation of the world, the gods witnessed Ra slaying Apep.

When the sun breaks through the darkness and shines on the earth again, it is not as exciting as it is today!
Kebu couldn't suppress the smile on his face and opened his mouth to call out the name of their child, which Meters told them.

Nut stared at the slowly rising sun and said, "Wait a little longer."

"It takes time for the god Ra to enter the underworld."

"Yeah!" Kebu nodded vigorously.

Time passed little by little, and there was no trace of darkness on the earth.

The chill of the night has dissipated, and the light and heat of the sun have returned.

Nut set his sights on the source of the Nile, the end of the earth.

"Amon," Nut called softly.

Kebu also shouted: "Amon."

Wait a moment and nothing happens.

Nut and Kebu's expressions both changed.

Are hopes dashed again? !
"You two, welcome to my residence."

Suddenly, a strange voice came from the side.

Kebu and Nut were excited at first, then wary, and then followed the sound and looked over.

I saw a handsome male god wearing a golden goose feather divine crown, wearing a blue and gold skirt, smiling.

The gentle smile did not make Kebu and Nut lower their guard.

On the contrary, it makes them more vigilant and alert.

Because after the birth of the world, they have seen all the gods that were born.

However, among the more than two thousand gods, there is no god in front of you!
But the strange god has the aura of a pure god, not an evil god created by faith.

Kebu stepped forward, protected Nut behind him, and asked: "What kind of god are you?"

"I am Amon." The god who called himself Amon smiled.

"There is no god Amun among the gods." Kebu shook his head.

Amon asked in return: "Among the gods, is there Metos, the god of stars?"

"No, but Meters asked you to come to me."

"Just because I don't know, doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Nut took a deep breath, walked to Keb, and said: "God Amun, Meters said you can awaken the moon god Kongsu."

"Please help us wake up Kong Su!"

"I can wake up Kongsu, but I need your help." Amon smiled.

"As long as we can do it." Nut replied without hesitation.

Kebu followed up with the same promise.

Amon took off a golden goose feather from the divine crown on his head and handed it to Nut.

"Accept human sacrifices, and then place goose feathers on the heart of the idol."

"When Goose Feather no longer absorbs the power generated by faith, I can awaken Kong Su."

Nut looked at the golden goose feather and hesitated.

Accept the faith of mankind, protect mankind, and then use the golden feather to eliminate the power of faith.

These are what the oracles of Ra command the gods to do.

Using the goose feathers of the unknown god Amun to absorb the power of faith is violating the oracle of the god Ra...

And what does God Amun do with the power of faith?
Various speculations made Nut hesitate.

At this time, Kebu reached out and took the golden goose feather from Amon's hand.

Meters is inanimate, but can communicate with them, plus gods he has never seen before.

They did not inform Ra of his thoughts.

In addition, it was already an act of betrayal to seek help from God Amun after the god Ra entered the underworld to inspect.

Since you have already betrayed, there is not much difference if you do it once more or less.

Amon took back his hand and said with a smile: "Smart choice."

"Come back to me when the goose feathers are full."

"Remember the rule, on the fourth solar day of each solar month, you must also avoid the Supreme God."

After giving instructions, Amon disappeared in front of the two gods. Being able to disappear without leaving any trace before their eyes has proven that Amon's power is not weaker than theirs.

"Let's go back." Kebu put away all the speculations in his mind and said.

Nut was a little tired and responded softly.

……

The junction of forest and grassland.

In the temple built of giant trees and flowers, Isis sat by the window and meditated.

Osiris held a handful of golden wheat ears and walked excitedly to Isis.

"Isis, look, the new barley has been successfully cultivated!"

Isis came back to her senses and glanced at the ears of wheat in Osiris's hand.

She could feel that it contained a full breath of life.

"Created from Hathor's seeds?"

"Yes." Osiris nodded: "The seeds she sent have passed through many generations."

"The life force contained within it will not diminish."

"I can only say that it is worthy of the power of the sun."

A trace of desire flashed in Isis's eyes: "Yes, the power of the sun is so powerful."

Osiris inserted the wheat ears into the pottery on one side and said: "Isis, do you know who still has the sun wine given by the god Ra?"

"Sun wine?" Isis was stunned for a moment, then said: "Are you greedy?"

"No." Osiris shook his head: "The new wheat seeds will not be affected by the smell of the desert, resulting in reduced yields."

"The number of humans living in oases will definitely increase."

"With seeds and water magic, the oasis will definitely expand."

"I'm afraid Seth's authority will be damaged by then."

"So you want to stop my little brother's mouth with sun wine?" Isis answered.

"No." Osiris shook his head again: "It's not a gag, it's just to express my apology."

"After all, the expansion of the oasis and the development of agriculture will enhance my authority."

Isis thought for a while and said, "Thoth should have it in his hand."

"He showed off to Shu before, I heard it."

"However, he probably won't be willing to hand it over."

"Who knows when the next Lord God will be born."

Osiris sighed helplessly: "Try it, maybe he will do it."

"That's right." Isis suddenly said: "Ask Matt for help."

"Mathe is easier to talk to than Thoth. Maybe she will help persuade Thoth."

……

In the Yellow Sand Temple.

Seth held his face with one hand and sat expressionless.

Bad news, the bloody river can't be found.

He became one with the desert and spent nearly a month searching the entire desert.

But there was still no trace of the bloody river.

Could it be that Bloody River knew he was going to blackmail it and ran away in advance?

No, it's more likely that he's hiding.

After all, the Book of True Names can even deceive people.

However, which god’s authority can deceive the Supreme God?
Seth frowned, he couldn't think of an answer.

Not only that, but his only way to strengthen himself was blocked.

Sighing, Seth no longer dwelled on this matter.

Since I can't get the real name, I just think I have an extra piece of information.

When the time is right, tell La that the Book of True Names still exists and seek benefits for yourself.

Having made his decision, Seth stood up and put away the Ankh.

He wanted to go to Isis to discuss Nephthys.
