Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 39 The Second Divine Council
In front of the Huangsha Temple, Shu waited quietly.

At the same time, I also lamented that when the sky is clear tomorrow, the earth should be a moment full of life.

But the endless desert is too desolate.

There were almost no living animals in sight.

At this time, a giant yellow sand bird came into Shu's sight.

It's Seth who's back.

Shu looked at Seth getting off the back of the giant yellow sand bird, his face was not pretty, and he smiled.

"Little Seth, long time no see."

Seth's mouth twitched when he heard this joke, and he said, "I just saw God's Council not long ago."

Hearing this, Shu smiled and said, "Those gods in Mulan have already figured it out."

"What about you, little Seth, have you figured it out?"

Seth sighed and said: "With the power of the gods, it is not difficult for humans to live in the desert as on the plains, right?"

"It's not difficult." Shu patiently explained: "The souls of human beings who can be transformed are no longer needed by the underworld."

Regarding this, Seth understood, he pretended to be disappointed and said: "How much desert territory do I need to give up?"

"The existing 70%." Shu gave the exact figure.

After Hathor's words, Set was already prepared, and he looked at Shu.

"If 70% of the desert territory is lost, I will be seriously injured."

Shu also knows this and comforts Seth.

"Just wait until the underworld fully recovers and then take back the territory."

"How long does it take for the recovery of the underworld, an era?" Seth shook his head and said: "Besides, it is difficult to regain the abandoned territory."

Shu actually couldn't say for sure, because he didn't know how long it would take for the underworld to fully recover.

Asked the God of Ra, the God of Ra just said it was quick.

Seth took advantage of this moment and asked, "Tell me, can the god Ra give me another authority?"

"Another authority?" Shu was surprised, then shook his head: "Impossible."

"Thoth also asked the god Ra to give him new authority, but the god Ra refused."

"What authority did Thoth ask for?" Seth was a little curious.

"I don't know, but the authority related to the underworld." Shu shook his head and said, "Thoth wanted to study and record the underworld at that time."

Hearing this, Seth sighed inwardly.

Ra was unwilling to give Thoth relevant authority in the underworld, so if he wanted to turn the underworld into scorched earth, it could be said that there was no hope at all.

Thinking of this, Seth did not intend to continue inking.

"I can voluntarily give up 70% of the desert territory."

"However, I will convene a divine meeting and make the gods swear an oath that they will not stop me from taking back the desert territory after the resurrection of the underworld."

"Okay." Shu promised decisively.

After the negotiation, Seth and Shu didn't say anything.

In the distance, a golden falcon flew in front of them in the blink of an eye.

The golden falcon landed and turned into a little boy wearing a white skirt.

The little boy raised his hands, palms raised, and said respectfully.

"Lord Shu, Lord Seth."

Seth and Shu both looked surprised.

How did Ra's messenger arrive?

Instinctively, Seth felt something was wrong.

"What oracle does Ra have?" Shu asked, looking at the messenger.

"After three solar days, the god Ra will hold a divine meeting in the Pantheon." The messenger replied respectfully.

"What is the reason for convening the Divine Council?" Seth asked.

The messenger shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Go." Seth said helplessly.

"Yes." The messenger replied respectfully, transformed into a golden falcon and left.

Shu looked at Seth, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to talk about giving up the desert territory at the divine council."

At this moment, Seth calmed down.

Temporarily giving up the desert territory has become an established fact. So it doesn't make any difference whether you say it in a divine meeting or in private.

What's more, he originally planned to have Shu convene a divine meeting to get the gods' commitment.

"I still have the same idea as before." Seth replied.

"I will help you, little Seth." Shu smiled.

"Thank you." Seth thanked him sincerely.

Then Shu left.

Seth was thinking about how to be honest with Beth.

He needs to find the Book of True Names.

Find the being who can hide the book of true names from Ra's eyes.

Then ask him to help hide the scorched earth of the underworld that he turned into sand.

Not only that, if possible, he would turn the entire land except the Styx into sand!
Kebu, the god of the earth, ascended to the rank of main god with only the authority of the earth.

After he transformed all the scorched earth in the underworld, his strength was definitely thousands of times stronger than it is now!
But for now, I'm just thinking about it.

Seth was not sure whether that being could hide the strange situation in the entire underworld.

In short, I still need to reconnect with Best.

When Seth was worrying about how to come back with his lies to Beth, a perfect white and blue falcon flew in front of him.

Set frowned when he saw the white and blue falcon. It was Hathor's falcon.

Speaking of which, he had forgotten Hathor.

This god of love plotted against him and wanted to resurrect his lover.

The deal between them naturally collapsed, and the promises made would not be fulfilled.

However, Hathor probably doesn't know that he already knows her plan.

Because when Hathor mentioned Fayoum, he did not mention Sobek and Sobek's mysterious mother.

She seemed unaware of their existence.

If he knew, he would probably tell him not to believe Sobek's words.

In short, Hathor should be filled with joy that his former lover is resurrected.

With a sneer, Set touched Hathor's messenger.

The two-color falcon disintegrated into a series of sacred text.

After reading it carefully, the letter was full of Hathor's thoughts and her strong and passionate love.

Skipping these, Seth saw the final instructions.

Hathor says she made a deal with an unspeakable being.

The one who helped hide the Authority of Man, as well as Eamon's body.

With that power, even if Amon replaced Seth and merged with human authority, the god Ra would not notice it.

From this, Hathor asked Aemon to pretend to speak and act the way Set had always done.

To avoid being noticed by the god Ra, Aemon is resurrected and repeats the tragedy at the beginning of creation.

Seth scattered the words in the holy book and thought about the unspeakable existence in Hathor's mouth.

Who is Sobek's mother?
Fayoum is Sobek's territory, plus Sobek's mother.

The body of Amon and the authority of men are there.

It means that it was Sobek's mysterious mother who made the deal with Hathor.

Able to hide authority from being discovered...

It seems that he doesn't necessarily want to find Best.

If you really want to talk about it, Sobek showed more kindness to him.

If Sobek is asked for help, will they agree?
However, Sobek and the others agreed.

It seems that he has become a subordinate god relying on Sobek's mother.

It feels like you will lose some of your autonomy.

That's not what Seth wanted.

He wants to live happily every day as he pleases.

However, things always backfire.

Especially when he was facing a group of gods who had more eyes than lotus roots.
