Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 51 Delimiting the Scope
The high priest looked at young Damses with envy in his eyes.

"Damses, aging cannot be reversed."

"Facing an increasingly powerful tribe with an aging body."

"I will regret that I was born too early."

"So, I spent all my life making prophecies for myself and the tribe."

"Then I will go to the underworld with the protection of the Desert God."

"The prophecy tells me that I will still be human after reincarnation."

"As long as the tribe firmly believes in the Desert God, it will become extremely powerful."

"Damses, may the Desert God protect you and the tribe forever."

After leaving his last words peacefully, the high priest passed away.

Damses shed tears silently.

After a moment, Damses wiped away his tears, stood up and walked out the door.

"Go and inform Quirrell that the high priest is dead."

"The high priest is just and fair in dealing with people, and his funeral affairs are handled according to the highest standards."

"Yes!" The two tribal warriors responded in unison with grief on their faces.

After explaining the matter, Damses went to the temple of the desert god built in the oasis.

Everything in the temple is a replica of the internal and external structure they saw when they sought the blessing of the Desert God.

Along the way, tribesmen saluted respectfully, and Damses responded to them one by one.

When they arrived at the temple, two tribal warriors were guarding the door, but there was no one inside.

Because the temple only allows ordinary people from the tribe to enter when making sacrifices.

To prevent any blasphemy against the Desert God.

"Master Priest!" The two tribal warriors saluted.

Damses nodded and entered the temple.

Dameses walked to the statue of the god piously and respectfully, and knelt down to pray.

"The noble and great desert god."

"The high priest who led our tribe to believe in you has just passed away."

"I hope you can protect the soul of the high priest and allow him to reincarnate smoothly!"

Seth stood in mid-air, listening to Damses's prayers, and turned his attention to the sacrificial temple.

The Sacrifice Temple and the Desert Temple are separate.

Tribal people can enter the sacrificial temple to worship the desert god anytime and anywhere.

In the temple of sacrifice, Seth saw the dead spirit of the old priest.

Because it is daytime, the dead spirit of the old priest can only stay in the temple.

Seth had a very good impression of this old priest who did not recommend himself as a priest and delegated power to Damses.

So I gave him a blessing without hesitation.

He had just arrived at the water plant oasis not long ago.

This oasis is very large, and they have already started planting Osiris wheat seeds.

If nothing else, it can feed 400,000 people.

There are currently less than 400,000 people here, only 200,000.

Seth was satisfied with this.

He is the desert itself, so he naturally knows the population situation of other oases.

All in all, this oasis has potential.

Damses did have control over the entire oasis, even though he was only a teenager.

Seth raised his hand and gave Damses a bit of power, as well as the gift of war.

For a human being, this little gift is enough to defeat one against a hundred.

After making the gift, Seth left the water plant oasis.

Then began to delineate the scope of the future desert.

You should include the water plant oasis and recreate your own temple at any time.

It just consumes a little bit of divine power, it doesn't matter.

Soon, Seth used his divine power to demarcate the area.

Isis and Osiris will see his divine power when they turn the plains into deserts.

However, Seth still wrote to the two gods and told them to prepare to start plaining the desert.

Then Seth sent a message to the gods who relied on the desert to survive.

Those who are completely attached to the desert should go to their temples and start preparing for migration.

God, whose authority itself can survive in plains and deserts, decides whether to move or not.

……

In the swamp. A magnificent temple is suspended in mid-air.

Shu sat in the temple, looked at Thoth beside him, and consoled him: "Be more open-minded."

Thoth sighed as Seth asked Thoth about the underworld.

He then knew Seth's plan to conquer the underworld.

Moreover, he also knew the fear and dissatisfaction of the gods towards Seth.

It was guessed that they would use divine council to force Seth to make concessions and thus carry out the oracle of Ra.

So, Thoth approached Shu.

His guess was verified from his mouth, and he also learned that Seth had decided to voluntarily give up his territory.

Unfortunately, a god crossed Shu and complained to the god Ra.

This caused the god Ra to convene a divine meeting in person.

Thoth then asked Shu to let him voluntarily give up the desert territory after Seth said.

Ask the god Ra to give Seth new authority.

"God really cannot have the fourth kind of authority." Thoth said disappointedly.

What he wanted to verify was this guess.

Can God hold the fourth level of authority?

A long time ago, he had this doubt after he asked the god Ra to give him new authority but was rejected.

Shu knew Thoth's regret and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't have the fourth kind of authority."

"Little Seth gave up 70% of the desert."

"The number of humans will increase rapidly, and the recovery of the underworld will also accelerate."

"When the God of the Underworld is born, you can study the underworld through him."

At this time, Matt, with ostrich feathers in his hair, walked out of the temple.

"Shu, Thoth, I found a gathering place of humans worshiping evil gods nearby."

"I'm going to obliterate that gathering place."

"I'll go with you." Thoth stood up and said.

The two then left.

Shu smiled helplessly, Thoth really couldn't live without Matt.

However, there is a problem with the evil god.

As the number of humans increases, the power of faith will increase accordingly.

Even if the gods protect mankind, the emergence of evil gods cannot be avoided.

Moreover, it may be more powerful than the evil gods that have appeared so far.

Out of this concern, Shu wrote to Osiris.

He wanted to know how long it would take for life to cover the territory Seth had abandoned.

After that, he will hold a divine council.

……

Yellow Sand Temple.

Seth sat on the throne and looked at the thirty-one gods in the temple.

When he returned to the Yellow Sand Temple, he saw these gods waiting outside the temple.

"Sit down." Seth used his divine power to create a number of positions in the temple.

Thirty-one gods sat silently.

They have received Seth's message.

Knowing that Seth has already delineated the location of the remaining 10% of the desert.

The next step is to demarcate the territory of each god.

At this time, they become quieter.

Because no one wants to offend Seth who abandoned 70% of the desert.

Although Seth looks calm now.

But who knew that beneath the calm was not an everything-destroying sandstorm? !
Seth looked at the thirty-one gods and waited silently.

It's not that he's waiting for them to speak, or for other gods to arrive.

Instead, they are waiting for Isis and Osiris to change the desert landscape.

Loss of authority will weaken his breath and reveal his weakness.

He wanted these gods to see him weaken.

Only then can one enter the underworld and turn the land into desert to make up for the lost desert territory.

With all the drama, he couldn't have lost so much desert territory and yet remained unscathed.
