234, the god is not the god

234. The god is not that god

Wendy blinked her long eyelashes and stood up straight and said, "Can you ask, I will answer truthfully."

The breath of Amon was invisibly filled with the solemnity of the gods, but he still said with a smile: "When you climbed this tower, you realized that the gate of the gods was not what you imagined, but just a cage of life. But before you came, you must have some longing besides awe. If this is really the gate to the kingdom of God, what is your wish?"

Wendy's bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light mist. She narrowed her eyes and recalled: "Of course I hope the gods can take me to the Kingdom of God to enjoy the legendary happiness that is separated from the world. God, please tell me, can mortals enter the kingdom of the gods in heaven? Even after death."

A simple sentence actually stunned Amon, who was a god. Since he left Duke Town when he was a teenager, he has been answering the puzzle left to him by the old madman - can a man become a god and how can he become a god? Now he has an answer, because he himself has become a god and has proved this path.

But this answer cannot solve Wendy's problem. It can be seen that this pure and beautiful girl is not suitable for practicing physical skills at all, and she is not a magician. It is already extremely difficult for people in the world to break through high-level achievements, let alone become gods. As a god, Amon has not yet been to any kingdom of gods, and it is even more impossible for mortals to leave this world to reach the eternal eternity that is not born or destroyed.

But Wendy's words made Ammon think about another question, which was related to his vows and his experience in the underworld. Is it possible to create a world to become the destination of the soul? In a short moment, it seems to be eternity, and there is the dream kingdom of heaven or the hell in the heart. The people there are not gods, but the souls after death, and cannot enter and exit the eternity that is not born or destroyed. They will get there in the eternity of the moment after death, and may be able to leave again.

Amon thought of so many things and said to Wendy with a smile: "I am also thinking about the questions you asked, and I hope I can answer them in the future. As for now, I am here to meet another god, please go out first and close the door? When I leave, I will help you leave the Gate of God to go to the place I want to go to."

...

Wendy walked out of Marduk's bedroom and closed the door. The palace maids on duty in the outer hall were shocked and hurriedly went forward and said, "Sir Saint, what happened, how can you come out!"

Although Wendy went to serve Marduk for three years for a afternoon break and had never seen this god appear, she had to lie on the bed for enough time according to the prescribed ritual. She came out before the time came. This was an incident that had never happened to the Gate of the Gods, and the palace maids were shocked.

Wendy suppressed her excitement and said as calmly as possible: "The gods want to meet another god here, and don't want anyone to disturb him."

The palace maids covered their chests in one go, and they all turned into petrified shapes. After a while, they knelt down at the gate of the inner hall. Someone shouted: "Sir, according to the ancient ritual, when the gods descend, they must ring the bell on the top of the tower!"

Wendy was stunned for a moment, but then she showed a very majestic expression. This was the first time in three years that she spoke in the tone of Saint Barron: "The gods said that they are not allowed to disturb them, even the rituals stipulated by the kingdom will not do it!"

The bell on the Baronton Tower did not ring, but the palace maids rushed outside the palace to go down the tower to report to the priests about the arrival of the gods.

...

Amon watched Wendy walk around the screen and walk out of the bedroom and close the door. Suddenly, he felt something. When he turned his head, he saw Malduk sitting on another chair looking at him with a smile. Seeing Amon turning his head, Malduk said in a playful tone: "I don't know how you are, have you kidnapped me?"

Amon sighed, "That girl is known as the Saint of Barron, but she is not really treated as a person. She is just a gift that will never be accepted. Why do you do this?"

Marduk shook his head and said, "This is not what I did, it was what the kings and priests of Barron had done in the past dynasties."

Amon also shook his head and said, "But all this happened under your nose. For hundreds of years, why did you let so many beautiful youths be imprisoned here?"

Malduk raised his lips slightly: "This is a sacrifice from the world to express their faith. As the main god of the kingdom, I should allow them to choose their own way. If you like that girl, just take it away. Except for Goddess Mu Yun, no other god will care about this matter."

Amon said again: "Since you have not stopped this kind of sacrifice in the Kingdom of Barron, they are the ones who come to serve you, at least..."

Malduk suddenly laughed out loud, interrupted Amon with a giggle and asked, "God Amon, are you a man?"

Amon was stunned: "Of course I am."

Malduke: "What you said just now is still limited by the times on earth, and I am a person who has long been transcended, or I have surpassed the times under the tower. I think men and women are equal, what about you?"

Amon frowned: "I think so, but what do you mean by saying that?"

Malduk held his hands on the back of the chair and crossed his legs, shook his toes and said slowly: "If there was a stunning woman, all men in the world would like to be able to have fun with such a woman. So people chose a man and let this man sleep with this woman, do you think this woman needs to agree?"

Amon replied: "Of course it makes no sense, it's ridiculous!"

Malduke slapped the back of the chair and said, "Isn't this the same thing! A handsome, strong and charming man like me, can people choose an irrelevant woman to take advantage of me? Of course, I can't even see you! If you think men and women are equal, you should naturally think so."

Even though Amon had always been serious, he couldn't help but be amused by Marduk at this moment. After laughing, he asked, "What will you do after I take Wendy away?"

Marduk put away his smile and said lightly: "I will do nothing. The Kingdom of Barron will choose another saint to send it here to complete their ritual."

Amon was about to continue saying something, but Malduk suddenly waved his hand. He heard the prayers of countless people and saw their images. Those who were struggling on the brink of suffering, slavery and life and death prayed to Malduk. What many people were looking forward to was Wendy's life in the Gate of Gods - a luxurious palace, a group of servants, and the best food and clothing in the world were automatically delivered to him. There was no need to worry or work hard.

Marduk curled his lips again and said, "You said that the Gate of God is Wendy's cage of fate, but the human world under this tower is even more of a cage for countless people. Wendy wanted to leave, but too many people thought about the cage she was in, and then they had another idea. As a god, you can't save everyone. If possible, consider the bigger cage... You came to the Gate of God for Wendy, so let's talk about serious things. How to kill Enriel, have you already planned?"

Amon replied, "If I had no plan, I would not come to see you at the Gate of Gods. Enriel would definitely wait for me to appear. Where do you think he would send someone to investigate my movements at any time?"

Marduk looked at Amon and asked ill, "You are injured by the combined power of the God of Fire and the God of Ashes. Your strength has been clearly understood by Enriel. Judging from your appearance, it seems that your mana has not yet recovered?"

Amon nodded: "Yes, I need to find the best place for cultivation in the world, and it must be absolutely safe."

Malduk asked again: "You have not accepted any guidance from the divine system, so you will naturally not go to the Kingdom of God, but you should have a divine palace on earth, right?"

Amon nodded again and said, "Yes, I have a temple called Eden, but it has not been fully built yet."

Malduk's smile was a little mysterious: "Then your best place to recuperate is Muyun Temple."

Amon also smiled: "So I know where Enriel will wait for me. As soon as I appear, he will naturally discover my whereabouts."

Marduk added: "Once he takes action, he will not give others a chance to save you. You are a bit worried about your current situation. I'm afraid it won't work if you don't fully recover your strength."

Amon pointed around and said, "That's why I came to the Gate of Gods, not just to see you. I have to say that this tower is well-built. This is the most suitable place for gods to recover from injuries in the world, and it is also the most suitable for me to practice and restore my strength, and it is very safe."

Marduk laughed again: "Amun, you really will take advantage of me. Saint Barron has kidnapped him and even borrowed the palace."

Amon said with a straight face: "You can refuse."

Marduk's figure slowly disappeared, and laughter echoed in the bedroom: "How could I refuse? Compared to the risks you took to lure Enrile to take action, I seem to have paid too little. You can restore your strength here. To thank you for your successful assassination of Sinach, I can give you a choice, either take Wendy away or make another request to me."

Amon replied lightly: "No need to make another request, I have promised Wendy that I will take her away."

...

Something big happened, a great thing! The gods came to the human palace on earth at the Gate of the Gods and lived there! The palace built by Kings of Barron to serve the gods Marduk for the first time had its original use. No one had seen the gods except the Saint Wendy of Barron, but some people heard the voice of the gods in their souls. The gods wanted to live in the Gate of the Gods for a period of time, without wanting to be disturbed or to leak the news.

Because the gods descended the oracle, ordinary people naturally did not know the news. They were just curious why the Malduk Temple under the Tongtian Tower had been offering sacrifice rituals in recent days, and the high officials and priests of the kingdom climbed the Tongtian Tower one after another. The high-ranking and powerful adults climbed the high tower, but could not enter the palace, and could only pray on the outer sheath of the palace.

All the living and living of the gods in the inner hall were taken care of by the Saint of Barron Wendy, and the palace maids could only serve in the outer hall. Every word Wendy conveyed was treated like an oracle. Everyone thought that the god Malduck had arrived, and only a few people in the kingdom knew that it was God Amon.

Amon was sent by Prince Fengniao, but His Highness did not expect that the god actually occupied the palace and the Saint Barron, and lived in the Tower of Heaven with such a swagger. The God of Marduk seemed to have not descended the oracle to express his objection, so Prince Fengniao had to say no.

Amon lived in the Gate of Gods for several months, and no one came to disturb him. Wendy was taking care of his daily life. In fact, Amon didn't need her to take care of anything, but it was convenient to have such a person around him at least many things. Amon also told Wendy the truth--he was not Marduk, but Amon.

When Wendy learned the truth, she was stunned for a long time, then suddenly fell to Amon's feet and hugged his legs and cried loudly. The kingdom's high priest had held a prayer ceremony in the hall of the front hall of the Gate of Gods. This ceremony was symbolically hosted by Barron's Saint Wendy. Wendy also heard the latest news - God Amon sent punishment, and Assyrian Emperor Sinach would be in danger soon.

The prayer of the High Priest Barron was different from the announcement issued by the Assyrian Empire. Of course, it was to choose what the gods loved to hear, and it was closer to the truth of the facts.

The Assyrian Emperor Sinach destroyed Wendy's hometown, Rees City-state, and the God of Amon "punishment" Sinach was equivalent to avenging Wendy. The god in front of him was the God of Amon who was most grateful in his heart. How could Wendy not be excited?

Amon helped Wendy up and asked, "I heard that I am not Marduke, why are you crying so sadly?"

Wendy had forgotten his fear of the gods at this moment, and did not even think about whether he was rude. She simply hugged Amon and cried in front of his chest, "It was you, it was you who assassinated the tyrant Sinach. I will always be grateful to you in this life, and I will never repay you no matter what I do!"

Although she cried out loudly, Wendy was more overjoyed. If she had known that a god would have come to the Gate of Gods, she would rather be Amon than Marduk. Since Amon lived here, Wendy had completely "lived", as if her soul had woken up, and was no longer a beautiful body. She was still on the top of the tower and could not walk out, but it felt completely different, and her body was filled with the charming youthful atmosphere of a girl.

Although Amon did not deliberately explain anything, Wendy did not point out to people that the god in the inner hall was not Marduke but Amon. Anyway, everyone thinks Marduke, so it's better to think so. Even Marduke himself did not appear to object. What else do others need to say?

Prince Fengniao has always been aware of this matter, and King Hammorabi II of Barron also learned the inside story from Prince Fengniao. One day three months later, Wendy walked into the inner temple to tell Amon something that Prince Fengniao and the high priest of the kingdom asked the gods outside the palace, hoping that he could meet the king. His Majesty the King should have come here in person, but he was already seriously ill and bedridden, so he specially presented the most precious gift in the kingdom and asked the gods to bless him in person.

During this period, Amon lived in the Gate of Gods as a god. In addition to devoted himself to practicing and restoring his strength, he had other gains. He received various gifts from the powerful adults in the Kingdom of Barron, which combined into a shocking and huge wealth. He could not refuse these gifts. If Wendy went out to convey his words and said he refused, it would scare those people to sweat all over and even want to jump into the tower.

In addition to many luxurious objects and treasures, these gifts are a large number of special divine stones. Although the national strength declined after the defeat of the Barron Kingdom, the wealth of these nobles in the country was not affected much. Many people took advantage of it. Of course, they had to choose the most precious gifts given to the gods, which was not ordinary.

Amon is just short of money! It is useless for him to ask for money, but this wealth is extremely important to the current city-state of Salem. In recent years, Mu Yun's treasure has been exhausted. Although Salem City also produces materials, its current output is far less than that of war and construction. The city-state's finances are already at the verge of ending their lives. Just take this money back and hand it over to Aesop, which can solve the urgent need of Salem City - Amon has really made a lot of money in Malduke!

Since he received such a large amount of wealth in the Kingdom of Barron and the gifts given by the king were the most precious of them, Amon was embarrassed to not even give him any face. Moreover, after Wendy conveyed the meaning of Prince Vonneu, Hammorabi II knew that he was the god of Amon and not Marduk, but he still wanted to see this god!

Amon asked Wendy to tell Feng Nuo outside the hall to park a carriage under the tower and not to disturb others. He would appear directly in the carriage. In the evening of that day, Prince Feng Nuo's guard surrounded his carriage and left the Barents Tower, followed by the carriage and guards of the high priest of the kingdom. The idle people retreated and saluted. The carriage Amon was riding directly into the palace, and he did not stop and dismount when he entered the palace gate. What a privileged guest's treatment!

Amon asked Fengniao in the car: "Why did your uncle ask me so urgently even though he knew that I was not Marduk and the Lord God believed in his kingdom?"

Feng Nuo sighed and said, "A king wanted to see the gods when he was seriously ill. Do you think there is anything else?"

This sentence reveals the mentality of many emperors since ancient times. They have all the glory of the world and can use power and wealth to realize all kinds of wishes, but there is a desire that will never be satisfied, that is, when the end of their lives comes, they will die like those humble untouchables.

At this time, they pray to the gods, and often pray for the good remedy for immortality. The seriously ill emperor hopes that the gods can use divine power to help them resurrect. If all this cannot be achieved, their prayers will not change, but they just change a form, praying that they can still enjoy everything they had before their lives after death and continue to be kings in another world.

The seriously ill Hammorabi II prayed to Marduk, but could not hear the sound of the god's response. When he realized that the fire of his life was about to be extinguished, he heard that God Amon came to the gate of the gods, just like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw. No matter what the price he paid, he also asked to see the god who appeared on earth. As for whether this god is what he believed in, it is no longer important at this moment!
