Chapter 10: Gods Will Eventually Die

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Even though Tan Weili had already predicted that he would be able to contain Ra’s power, Anubis still found it hard to believe that it was true because it was too magical.

With a skeptical attitude, he decided to bring his brother to Ra and ask the Sun God Ra to give him power.

Since Tan Weili also had the idea of looking for Ra to obtain the divine sun power, he naturally would not reject Anubis’ decision.

So, the two brothers went to the Temple of the Sun together to find Ra.

On the way, Anubis told Tan Weili, “Horus, remember this! As the head of all gods, Ra will definitely not give his power to you just like that. He will definitely reject your request first.”

“But he won’t be absolute… The most likely scenario is that Ra will arrange a test for you. As long as you can pass the test, Ra will bestow his power upon you!”

Upon hearing this, Tan Weili couldn’t help but complain, “First it was Set, then it was Ra. All of you really like to play with tests!”

Anubis’s mouth twitched.

However, he knew that his brother had only been awake for fourteen years and was still in a state of ignorance about everything.

Therefore, he didn’t think there was anything strange about what the other party said.

He explained patiently,”If you have some kind of powerful power or some precious treasure, and your believers pray to you to borrow them for a short time, will you set up some kind of test to evaluate whether the other party is qualified to borrow your things?”

“You have to learn to put yourself in others’ shoes, my brother! You’ll encounter this kind of thing in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Weili’s thoughts suddenly scattered.

He said,”What you said is interesting. Maybe I can cancel the power of the nobles and let everyone become civilians.”

“And those who want power must pass my test… Those who passed the test of governing a country could become civil servants. And those who pass the combat test can become military officers.”

Anubis staggered and almost fell to the ground.

After finally stabilizing himself, Anubis said,”Although I don’t know much about power, I feel that what you’re doing will definitely change the world!”

The two brothers chatted idly.

Soon, they arrived at Ra’s temple.

After entering the temple, Anubis reminded Tan Weili again,””Remember! Ra definitely won’t agree to give you power directly, but even if he refuses you, don’t give up! If you continue to make sincere requests, Ra will definitely give you a test first and grant you the power after you complete it.”

Tan Weili did not comment on Anubis’ words.

Thus, they entered the depths of the Temple of the Sun.

It was worth mentioning that the Temple of the Sun had been carefully designed by Egypt craftsmen and priests.

There was a long and narrow passage at the top, which went all the way down to the temple, on top of the statue of Sun God Ra.

Due to the tricky angle of the passage, it was thin and long, so sunlight could not pass through this passage and enter the Temple of the Sun.

Only at noon on the summer solstice, when the sun was at its highest point, would the sunlight pass through the passage and fall on the statue of Sun God Ra.

When the two brothers walked to the statue of the Sun God in the depths of the temple, they saw Ra sitting in front of his statue.

In Egypt mythology, Ra was an old man whose power was gradually weakening and was about to die.

Thus, as long as there was a chance, Ra would close his eyes to rest and strive to recover some energy.

Hearing the arrival of the two brothers, Ra opened his eyes and asked,”What are you guys doing here?”

Before Tan Weili could say anything, Anubis answered with a sincere expression,”The Great God Ra! My brother, Horus, hopes to go to a place far away from Egypt’s territory, but his divine power is not enough to support his expedition.”

“So, we ask you to grant him the Eye of the Sun God and provide him with enough power to support him to reach the distance!”

In Anubis’ mind, Ra would definitely reject his request.

But that didn’t matter.

As long as he continued to pester Horus, Ra would definitely give Horus a chance and test him.

However, Ra only glanced at Anubis before he said to Tan Weili,”Sure!”

Hearing this, Anubis could not react in time.

He immediately said the lines he had prepared in advance,”The Great God Ra! Please consider my brother’s misfortune and give him a chance! He has been sleeping since he was born!”

Tan Weili only wanted to cover his eyes with his hands.

Ra was even more direct.

He kicked Anubis and said in a low voice,”You fool! I said I agree! Didn’t you hear me?”

Eh?

Hearing this, Anubis, who was kicked to the ground by Ra, did not react immediately.

He lay on the ground, stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at Tan Weili beside him in disbelief.

‘What’s going on? Why did God Ra agree so readily this time?’

A huge question was lingering in Anubis ‘mind.

However, Tan Weili could tell that Ra had something else to say.

Hence, he said to Anubis,”Brother, I’ll have to trouble you to go out and find a priest who can hear your oracle. Ask him to tell Pharaoh Possibson that I’m coming to the Temple of the Sun tonight, so don’t worry,”

Anubis only reacted when he heard Tan Weili’s words.

He immediately got up from the ground and left the Temple of the Sun.

Before he left, he grinned at Tan Weili and said,”Perform well! Good luck, Brother!”

Tan Weili ignored Anubis.

After he left, he looked at Ra and asked,”Is there anything I can help you with?”

Ra did not speak immediately.

He first looked at Tan Weili deeply and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said,”The power you used in today’s battle seems to be older than mine?”

Eh?

Tan Weili was surprised to hear that.

Speaking of which, Ra’s description was right.

The killing intent in Tan Weili’s Divine Realm came from the Stone Age in 10000 B.C.

At that time, not to mention Ra, even the tribal shaman who first suggested Ra hadn’t been born yet!

It was true that his power was more ancient than Ra’s.

However, Tan Weili did not know how to explain this.

Thus, he could only remain silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Ra nodded and said,”You seem to be hiding a lot of secrets. But it doesn’t matter. I just want to know, how did you obtain this ancient power?”

“Do you have the ability to extend the life of gods?”

“How is it? Let’s make a deal! As long as you tell me how I can stop aging and return to being young, I will lend you my divine sun power!”

However, Tan Weili’s eyes were suddenly filled with sorrow when he heard that.

This sadness was not lamenting about himself, but about Ra.

He said to Ra,”Everything in this world will die. Even the gods are no exception.”

“One day, humans will be free from the rule of the gods and live on this land alone with rational thinking.”

“At that time, all the gods will die! That includes you and me, as Horus!”

Humans would be free from the rule of the gods? All the gods would die?

Hearing this prophecy, Ra, who was as powerful as the leader of all gods, couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble!
