Manjushri smiled back, his charmingness was indescribable, and said with a smile: "If the information illusion is imaginary by magical arts, the world is like a bird's trace in the sky, like a man's troubles, like a dream has woken up. Now you have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and you should seek to establish all the Dharmas without dwelling. If you want to ask the way, why not follow me?"

Renyun put down his wine glass and strode down the sand dune. The people walked, but Renyun could not catch up. Then he roared and turned into a lion and ran forward quickly, quickly disappearing on the horizon. The Scorpion King put down the ice scorpion and fire scorpion, turned around and shouted: "Lion King, you have just escaped from the Nine League Divine Realm, where are you going to run with these people? Our matter has not been finished yet!"

The voice of Sishui echoed in the desert, but the clouds were already running out of shadow. Sishui cursed in the direction of his disappearance: "This lion's temper has not changed, it is still so easy to be impulsive and stubborn. He just escaped from the Jiulian divine line, but was abducted by the gods from where they came from."

Then he turned around and sat down. The fierce Scorpion King looked a little desolate. He looked at the wine on the table and said to himself: "Where did the gods come from? What are they promoting? It seems that there is an unknown god system in this world! Without the guidance of the god system, it is too difficult to explore alone, but I don't want to look back."

The man left, and the Scorpion King took a few big sips of wine and looked up at Amon and said, "Goddess Muyun has fallen in love with you, and the gods are circulating. For you, she abandoned her ex-husband Toumz, and even sent Toumz to the underworld to exchange for you. You will definitely be introduced to the Anuna Qi divine system.

You are a monk on earth, which is a great blessing for you. But it is so difficult to truly transcend eternal life. I hope you can have this day. You are not interested in the words of the gods just now, and I am afraid you will be even less interested in the suggestions of me, a scorpion. Anyway, you have already stepped into the Anuna Qi divine system with one foot, so there is no need to shake your beliefs because of this."

Amon smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know my relationship with Enrile? It was the flood he launched that destroyed my homeland. No matter what sin my tribe members have, I have bid farewell to him."

Sisai said with an oh, "Do you want to join the Malduk side? I heard that Goddess Muyun won the bet with Enriel and could freely enter and exit the divine realm of Anunaqi, and it would be okay to introduce you to the Malduk side."

Amon shook his head: "The path I want to confirm may be different. There are the insights of my predecessors and my own pursuits. I have been thinking about how the gods transcend eternal life, and what is the so-called divinity? I am just seeking the proverb and do not want to join any divine system."

These words are heartfelt words. Amon is an anomaly. He has never received any guidance from the divine system. He has solved the puzzles that the old madman and Bell have not solved in difficult exploration. He finally understood and mastered the power of the origin. He has already achieved level 8, and has experienced everything in Schrödinger's soul imprint. He even learned about the torture of fate and the judgment of the end of the day in advance. Before he became a real god, he could no longer need any guidance from the divine system. He only needed to verify it himself. These were unknown to the Scorpion King.

Sishui smiled and said, "You may have thought too much. No matter who you are, whether you believe or not, the gods are there. I was once the messenger of the gods, and I have received the guidance of the oracle, and know how the power of the origin is different from what you have practiced, so I just think about how to become a god who truly transcends eternal life. Although my powerful power in the world can fight against them, the meaning of existence as a living being is different. I will tell you the last thing, the destruction storm cannot kill the god who truly transcends eternal life."

Amon replied without surprise: "Thank you for your reminder. I have read the records of the storm of destruction, only saying that it can even severely damage the gods, and not saying that its power will definitely destroy the gods. Is this the last thing you want to tell me?"

Sishui sighed and said, "I have made a vow that although the Amat who guides me has fallen and I can no longer be driven by the Anunaqi divine system, the secrets of the gods cannot be revealed. Unless I become a god who truly transcends eternal life, and have my own divine realm and divine system. I will only tell you what that path is when I can guide you.

This is a promise between the gods, and I will only be qualified to join this agreement, so I will say those words to you. But you already have a ready-made shortcut and don’t have to rely on my unseen hope. Can you understand now, why did the Lion King go just now, and why did I ignore those gods? We all have the path we expect."

Amon raised his glass and said, "The promises of the gods have nothing to do with me, but no matter what, I want to thank you for telling me this today! It can be seen that you also want to find someone to tell me, and to clarify and strengthen your beliefs in the telling."

It was already been drinking this wine for a long time, and the Scorpion King stretched out his arm and clinked glasses with Amon for the first time and said, "You are wiser than I thought. I have really seen through many things. To thank you for listening to my talk today, I will give you another promise, which is also a kind of hope."

Sishui unknowingly carried the tone of a god while speaking. In the legend of Tianshu Continent, divine envoys like him who had been through endless trials of life can be called gods, just like Best of that time. When they mentioned the real gods, they used the title "the god who truly transcends eternal life", which was specifically different.

Amon asked, "What kind of hope?"

Sishui said meaningfully: "You are a rare genius on earth! But don't forget the famous spell about that goddess. If one day you are injured like a man, leave the Anunaqi divine system, and I have become a god who truly transcends eternal life and established my own divine system. Welcome to become the gods of this divine system. I wanted to talk about these with the Lion King, but unfortunately he ran away."

Amon replied: "Thank you for saying that, but I am not Renyun. You may have misunderstood the relationship between me and Mu Yun. I am just fulfilling my promise to the goddess, which has nothing to do with whether she loves me or not."

The Scorpion King shook his head and said, "If the bad luck really comes, it's hard to say. Good luck!"

Amon lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if Goddess Mu Yun really has such a curse, I have experienced enough suffering."

Sisai stood up and patted Among on the shoulder and said, "You are not simple at such a young age. Don't forget what I said today... Your child has been here for a long time. It seems that if something happens, let's solve your own trouble first."

The three roars of the Lion King were amazing. Although Sishui cast spells to protect the ice scorpion and fire scorpion, the two demon scorpions are still unconscious. Sishui picked up the two beloved concubines and left, and the sand under his feet surged and disappeared strangely. Amon turned around and said to the distant air: "Medanzo, how long have you been here? Come and rest for a while."

A white cloud swayed and slowly fell, the crystal shuttle was put away, and Medanzo staggered towards the dune, and sat on the chair that Sishui had just sat and gasped. Amon looked at him and smiled and said, "Wine is in front of you, why are you drunk before you drink it?"

Medanzo said with a bitter face: "God Amon! Fortunately, I came late and stayed away. The roar of the Lion King was so powerful that I almost fell down and barely stabilized in the air."

Amon pointed to the banquet in front of him and said, "They are all gone. Don't waste your wine and food. Let's eat and drink first. I think you look very tired."

Medanzo picked up the wine and tasted it, exclaiming: "What a great wine, a peerless wine! The Lion King really knows how to enjoy it."

The two of them enjoyed the table of almost unmoved banquets. After eating and drinking, Amon asked, "When did you arrive, what did you see, and what did you hear?"

Medanzo replied: "I flew from afar with the roar of the Lion King. Later, those strange guys passed by and I heard everything they said. What are they? They spoke strangely and didn't put on airs, but they felt even more arrogant than gods in their bones!"

Amon said quietly, "Don't ask who they are, just stick to your own beliefs and prove your own path... You did not follow Moses and the others to the Duke Plain, but came to find me on this road. Did something happen again?"

Medanzo sighed: "God Amon, your tribe is simply a vortex and a magnet. No matter where you go, it is surprising that nothing happens!"

...

After Moses and others left the border of Eju, they crossed the Syrian desert and entered the Duke Plain along the east bank of the inland lake. This should be the safest route. Because the west bank of the inland lake is a business road between Eju and Hati. Now there are towns, farms and garrison checkpoints. The place where Amon is about to fight against Celia is also in this area. Going further into the Duke Plain, there are also large swamps, which are difficult to pass.

Moses and others passed from the east bank of the Inland Lake, close to the Youdi River Valley. Although there was a very rugged road, you could directly reach the plain after crossing mountains and ridges. At this time, the Duke Plain had attracted explorers from surrounding countries, but it was difficult to see a place where people gathered in such a large wilderness, at least a year ago.

However, when Moses led his tribes over the mountains on the shore of the lake and appeared at the entrance of the valley leading to the plain, a newly built city appeared in front of him, or a small city-state that had just been built. This is the place where explorers and warriors who killed monsters came to rest and trade. Moses and others could have rested here and bought supplies and set off again, but they were stopped by the "army" sent by this "city-state".

Moses and the others had only sixty people, and there were eight hundred warriors holding various weapons on the other side, including the plateau giants who could conquer and form military formations. Moses was surprised and stepped forward and asked, "We just wanted to go deep into the wasteland and did not be enemies with you. Like other explorers, we will exchange materials and pay taxes in your market town. Why do we call up so many warriors to stop it?"

The city-state under construction is actually called the city of Marduk. The lord is a short plateau giant named Yusir. He sent someone to say to Moses: "You are the miners of Duke who escaped from Eju. If you want to enter the plain of Duke, you have two choices. Either stay in my city, declare your belief in Malduk and swear in the temple; if you want to return home here, you must promise to the gods that you will build a temple for Malduk where you stand, and hold a ceremony to summon the coming of the gods. As a guarantee, you must leave the leader until the promise is completed."

Medanzo knew Usir, who was the leader of the plateau giant union tribe who kidnapped Princess Xiao Qian. In fact, he was sent by Princess Xiao Qian to establish a city-state, and at that time he extorted a large number of supplies in Akkad Town. Now the location of this city-state is stuck on the throat of the east bank of the inland lake and entering the Duke Plain.

Moses and others were unable to break through, so Medanzo sneaked into the city of Marduk as a wandering hunter and found the city lord Yusir to "remind the past". He woke up the man in Yusir's bedroom in the middle of the night, and used a broken blade to force the city lord to let go.

Usier cried and said, "Fearless Warrior, that is not only the order of Princess Sissi, but also the oracle of Master Malduck! Even if you kill me, it is useless. Besides, if you kill me, you can't escape."

Medanzo said in surprise: "What's going on with the oracle of Malduk?"

Yusir explained: "I don't know what happened. I planned to build this city-state and serve as the lord and priest here. I received support from Princess Xiaoxi and the Kingdom of Barron. After the temple was completed, I led several priests to hold the ceremony. That night, the great Lord Malduk spoke in my soul. The gods told me that the miners in Duke Town were going to pass here and make them promise that they would not build statues for any gods except Malduk, otherwise they would not be allowed to pass."

The situation was beyond Medanzo's control, and it rushed back immediately to discuss with Link. They formulated two plans, either to ask John to lead the army of Duke Town to fight, break out a road to pick up Moses and others over; or to ask Moses and others to turn back and go around the west bank of the inland lake, avoiding the control of Malduck.

The former plan was too expensive, and the city-state built under the leadership of Aesop had just begun to take shape. Although John led the warriors there were not afraid of fighting with Marduke, they had to bear the losses of losing both sides. The latter plan was difficult, and Moses and others needed to pass through the territory controlled by the Syrian city-state, and after passing the inland lake, they had to pass through the inland swamp that was difficult to pass. The two decided to make preparations. Medanzo went to explore the way first, and Link rushed to the Duke town to let John prepare for the support.

When Link returned to Duke Town, he realized that an accident had happened there. At the foot of the Assyrian Plateau north of Duke Town, a large group of plateau giants suddenly appeared. They were not like residents of the mountain tribes. They were obviously trained in an organized manner, carrying various equipment and supplies with them, and quickly established camps and village defenses, forming the prototype of a city-state at an amazing speed.

This is obviously not a spontaneous behavior. They have strong soldiers, complete supplies, and extremely orderly personnel allocation, just like long-term training of corps soldiers and logistics equels.

The gathering point they established was less than a hundred miles away from the city-state built by Link. They occupied fertile fields and opened up land and sowed the seeds on the spot, and also occupied the mines where the Duke Town tribe mined the Shenshi and iron ore. They organized manpower to mine the Shenshi ore nuclear and iron ore and smelted refined iron on the spot. It was obviously preparing for large-scale immigration and advancing to the entire Duke Plain.

The city-state built by Link occupied the largest fertile land on the Duke Plain, and of course there was a conflict after the outsiders occupied the mine. Fortunately, Link and the others had built a solid city wall, which had already had thousands of people under the control of Aesop, and they had gained a firm foothold, otherwise they would not be able to compete with each other.

Link and Medanzo were not around, and Aesop avoided the conflict at first. Later, John brought thirty-six personal guards and gathered the warriors trained by Medanzo into battle formations, demanding that the other party withdraw from the occupied mines. There were two battles, and neither side took advantage.

So they began negotiations. The other party believed that the mine was originally a homeless land. John took out the land deed of Duke Town to prove that it was not homeless. Since ancient times, people have mined it, roads have been built and mine veins have been dug. The other party said that the miners in Duke Town had long disappeared due to the punishment of the gods, and they refused to give up the most precious mine on the mainland. In fact, both sides understood that it was the most important strategic base for the annexation of thousands of miles of fertile soil based on the Duke Plain.

John gathered the warriors to fight with them again, and found that there was no problem in defending the city-state based on his own, but it was unlikely that he would repel those people, so he sat down to negotiate for the second time. John had no support, but the other party's troops were gradually increasing. They came across the Assyrian plateau, and the city walls built around the settlement became stronger and stronger. The first permanent building built was the temple of Enriel.

John continued his offense in this situation and it was obviously unfavorable that Aesop made another suggestion in due course.

Aesop used to lack strong labor to mine ore and mine cores. Today's residents are not the miners in Duke Town back then, but mainly savages in caves, absorbing scattered tribes in the nearby areas and wandering explorers from surrounding countries. They want to plant land to support themselves and build city-states, but they can't extract enough strong labor to mine such a large area of ​​mine.

So Aesop suggested that the two sides cooperate. As long as they admit that this mine belongs to the tribe of Duke Town, the other party can organize strong plateau giants to engage in heavy mining work. As a reward, they can leave 60% of the ore and mine cores, either smel the iron ore and take the divine stones themselves, or let Aesop acquire it at a fair price on the mainland.

This is a good idea to have the best of both worlds. The other party is accumulating strength and does not want to have a full-scale conflict with tribes such as the cave savages who already have a foothold. So he agreed to this cooperation condition and restored temporary peace on the Duke Plain.

But Aesop also knew that this superficial peace and security could not last for too long. Judging from the other party's situation, it was obvious that it was planned for a long time, which was to use the settlement at the foot of the Assyrian Plateau as a base to advance towards the entire Duke Plain.
