Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 47 Controversy in the Divine Council
"It might have been love at first sight." Osiris laughed.

Isis didn't believe it. Besides, she remembered that her younger brother had turned to love Best.

"Forget it, let me worry about it myself."

Not intending to get involved in Seth's personal affairs, Isis continued to pry into the discussions of the gods.

Second solar day.

At this moment, the sun has risen.

It means that Apep dies again and the divine meeting is about to begin.

The gods went to the Pantheon in an orderly manner.

Isis stood in front of the temple, her face full of worry, because Set had not arrived yet.

Osiris comforted Isis: "Don't worry, he won't be late."

At this time, Nephthys came over and expressed concern.

"Isn't Brother Seth here yet?"

"Yeah." Osiris nodded.

Nephthys wanted to say something else, but Isis saw Seth not far away, and all the worries on her face disappeared.

"My little brother is here." Isis breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to be here." Osiris also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had been comforting Isis, he was really afraid that Seth would be late.

Nephthys looked at Seth, unconsciously placing his hand on his belly, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

Seth also saw Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys, and came over to say hello.

"Sister, eldest brother, little sister."

"Brother, I know you are unhappy." Isis said, "But don't lose your temper during the meeting with God."

“The oracle of Ra cannot be broken.”

"As for reporting your god to the God of Ra, I will help you find out!"

"I understand, sister." Seth smiled and said, "Thank you."

This is a heartfelt thank you, Isis always genuinely cares about and helps him.

Thinking about Seth, his eyes moved to Osiris.

In his destined destiny, Osiris stood opposite him.

Even if he avoided Nephthys, he would still be at odds with Osiris.

why?

Jealousy?
"Okay, let's enter the Pantheon." Osiris smiled at Seth and said.

Set suppressed his unnecessary thoughts and followed Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys towards the Pantheon.

Upon entering the Pantheon, Set was watched by the gods.

There is gloating, ridicule, sympathy, and curiosity in these looks.

Seth ignored these, walked to the throne of God and sat down, looking down at the more than two thousand gods.

There are only dozens of main gods at the same level as him.

There are more than two thousand high-level gods and low-level gods who need to look up to him.

As long as he is still the main god, he can ignore the higher gods and lower gods.

As for the Lord God, there will be nothing to fear until he turns into sand into the land of the underworld.

However, Seth looked at the supreme god with a hint of uneasiness.

The reason why he arrived late was that he realized that the power of faith in the water and grass oasis alone was not enough for him to cover up his broken destiny and human rights.

Therefore, Seth took the initiative to find hundreds of oases for protection and blood sacrifices.

Finally, he gained enough power of faith to cover both powers.

But can this cover-up be hidden from La?
There were examples of Eamon and Broken Destiny hiding their authority from Ra, so Seth thought it was okay.

However, he still couldn't help but worry.

While Seth was thinking about this, Thoth stood up and said loudly.

"Silence, the divine council is about to begin!"

The gods who were whispering stopped talking and looked up at the golden throne at the top of the Pantheon.

Suddenly, a golden sun penetrated the dome of the temple, fell on the supreme god, and transformed into a goddess.

Wearing a red gold sun disk engraved with the Sun God pattern on her head, and a long skirt with a red sun pattern.

The red eyes are like two red suns, which seem to burn everything.

On the neck is a red gold Vesekh engraved with the pattern of the sun god.

He holds a red gold three-section staff in his right hand and a red gold ankh in his left hand.

The High God Ra - God of the Sun!
Thoth stood in front of the divine throne and loudly said: "The divine council begins!"

Then Thoth sat down.

The gods looked up at Ra, waiting for him to speak. Ra looked down at the gods, and finally his eyes fell on Set.

"Desert God, have you stopped the gods from protecting humans?"

In response to the straightforward question, Seth breathed a sigh of relief.

This proves that Ra did not see through the veil of faith.

However, Seth showed a sad and aggrieved look on his face. Said: "La Shen, this is slander!"

"I have never stopped any god from blessing mankind."

"Even I look forward to the gods changing deserts that are unfit for human habitation."

"But some gods preach that I don't allow change."

"As a result, they are unable to protect humans."

"But in fact some gods are unwilling to use their divine power to change the desert."

"The simplest thing is to open up the tributaries of the Nile River and enter the desert. Some gods don't do it."

"I feel extremely sad about this. They actually regard the oracle as nothing!"

"Putting everything on me."

"And go beyond the God of Order and slander me in front of the God Ra!"

"La Shen, I feel wronged!"

After saying this, Seth's face became even more aggrieved, and he even had tears in his eyes.

Isis looked at Seth's performance and almost laughed out loud.

She knows her little brother's character too well, and she also understands what a silent threat is.

Beth's cat eyes widened, feeling that Set was becoming more and more skilled in telling lies.

Then she thought about how she had believed Seth's lies, and her face turned ugly.

Shu looked helpless when he saw Seth, who had written a letter asking some of the gods attached to the desert to argue with him and try to prevent the desert from being changed.

The remaining main gods also have different expressions.

The upper gods and lower gods were even more surprised!
Then there was dissatisfaction, and you felt wronged? !
They all felt that if they did anything to change the desert landscape, they would face Seth's revenge!

Lono, the wind chime god, retorted angrily: "Ra, the desert god is lying!"

“He became one with the desert more than once.”

"Just to scare us who want to change the desert!"

Seth remembered Lono in his mind, but his face was still aggrieved: "I am searching for monsters in the desert."

"Monsters will avoid oases and temples."

"But it will attack humans walking in the desert."

"Killing them is also for the safety of mankind."

"Not only that, I also sheltered the human oasis."

"Besides, have I had any conflict with the God who changed the desert?"

These words choked Lono.

The dragon blood tree god Ness said: "God Ra, the desert god is indeed searching for and killing monsters."

"And an oasis that has blessed humanity."

Hearing this, Seth felt even more aggrieved.

The lower gods and upper gods also understood.

They had no conclusive evidence that Seth would not allow the desert to be altered.

If there was a god who dared to change the desert, he would be beaten to death by Set.

That is the evidence that can be used against Seth now.

Unfortunately, no one wants to be retaliated by Seth.

At this time, Wadjet, the lower-level poisonous snake god with a snake head and human body, spoke.

"Since the desert gods care so much about humans."

“Why not take the initiative to change the desert landscape?”

Hathor chuckled: "Poisonous snakes are harmful to humans."

"Would you take the initiative to kill all venomous snakes?"

A sharp rebuttal.

The gods looked sideways at Hathor.

And Hathor said with a perfect smile: "Ra, I don't think the desert god has stopped the gods from changing the desert."

"The wheat seeds I gave to mankind have been cultivated by the god of agriculture and have been planted in the desert."

"If the desert god doesn't allow the desert to be changed and doesn't protect humans, my wheat seeds won't survive."
