Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 162 160, Cat God Best
Best possesses a title called "Cat God," and although she is not yet truly a deity from eternity, she is eligible to be sacrificed in the temple. The Spirit sent down the message that the priests of the temple had built a statue for Best beside the statue of Osiris, the image Amon had seen, and he had carved the same statue in the estate.
At this point, we see the wonder of the higher realm, where Best cultivates another sense of independence that is integral to her origins and able to attach itself to the statue. Naturally powerless, the statue itself possesses a strange source of power, which is the projection of people's sacrifices and prayers, their desires and their countless minds and beliefs.
Intelligence is powerful, and thinking requires energy consumption, and it cannot be seen, but without it people can do nothing. For example, if you drink a glass of water, the first thing you need to think about is drinking water before your body knows to take the cup. This is not the power that people usually understand, what you can see is just holding up the cup with your hands, and the source behind it is another form.
The incarnation to which the idol is attached is part of Best, which is also related to Best's boundaries, the higher her boundaries are, the more idols she can rely on. On the other hand, the wider the source of this power she acquires, the stronger the soul, and in a certain sense, the wider her divine domain.
Is this the domain of divine power's origins? Best never possessed her own independent divine domain, she only enjoyed the sacrifice as a servant of Osiris in temples all over the place.
Amon has a preliminary understanding of the meaning of the Divine Domain in Schrödinger's soul tracks. He sensed countless minds in the underworld of the Anunaki Divine System, when Ammon could only remain conscious and undisturbed. Now he can finally confirm that that is the prayer of countless people in the divine domain to the Queen of the Underworld, including the desire of those souls in the Underworld.
The underworld of the Anunaki Divine System is an independent divine domain belonging to Erebe, where she can possess the power of those souls. No wonder Amon unleashes the dead spirits of the Duke Town clan and pisses off Queen Erebe. From the magic of the spirit of death that Amon has mastered, it is with such magic that Queen Erebe confines the spirit of the dead to build the underworld.
What's so amazing about this power? - It repairs the soul!
Will the soul be hurt? It may not be well understood by the average person, but in Ammon this kind of achievement is very clear. Amon went through hundreds of wars and his body didn't have a scratch on his skin, but he was injured. The worst one, of course, was crossing the underwater river to encounter a monster, using a scroll to kill the monster and then rushing along, accidentally depleting his power and almost unable to move, and cultivating it in Abel and the hidden estate for half a month before recovering.
Without life, man is but a cold flesh, without soul, a walking corpse. All wounds are life and soul, some can see and some can only feel. One of the simplest examples is that when a person is extremely tired and unconscious, he or she cannot use his or her strength even if he or she is physically fit.
As a servant of the Underworld God, Best slaughters powerful demons to restrain their souls and injures their souls in battle. That incarnation, which depends on idols everywhere, draws constant energy to repair their souls. By the ninth level, she had passed the true test and truly possessed the magic of life. As long as she was not cut off, her life seemed endless.
When Amon went through this part of his life in Best's soul tracks, he opened his eyes and breathed again, feeling much easier now than the last time he was out of meditation, while Schrödinger still looked at him in the morning light. Amon stretched out his hand and touched the cat's shoulder: “Is this the immortality of life when the never-ending test turns out to be so important that you can have the realm of divine power? So what about the real gods? ”
Schrödinger's eyes were filled with sadness: “I thought I could have lived alongside the gods, with great power and endless life, stood on the altar, heard countless people calling the great goddess Best in my heart, and suddenly thought of myself as a god!... but later it became clear that I wasn't, and that everything I got had to pay for it, and you would understand it if you went on. ”
Schrödinger never wanted to talk about his past, and after Ammon guessed her past, he never let Ammon say the name "Best”. After two hundred years of her soul tracks, Amon could no longer understand what Schrödinger already knew, even without the need to use special abilities, and naturally knew her mood, so she turned the topic around: “Passing the test of life without interruption, the Divine System was allowed to qualify for sacrifice in the temple, you can attach to the idol. But from what you've learned about the magic of death, you don't have to achieve it, you can do something like that. ”
Schrödinger nodded: "Your enlightenment is amazing! It is no wonder that this path can be explored on its own without divine guidance. Yes, the soul can absorb that power by clinging to the idols, without the need for the original power to achieve the ninth level of achievement. But there are two limitations to this, and it can only depend on a particular idol, not a random transformation. For those who are not strong enough, external forces are often needed to do so. ”
And Amon asked, "Have you ever seen anything like this? ”
Schrödinger replied: "Of course I have met some demons who are attached to idols in remote temples. This is preferred to those living demons, powerful souls who occasionally gather after the demons die. ”
Amon smiled bitterly: "You also killed a magician, a magician like me. ”
Schrödinger also smiled bitterly: "It cannot be said that you are a magician, but a great magician against the Temple. Ordinary magicians do not need the messengers of the gods, and great magicians do not want to provoke temples as long as they do not oppose them, and gods often send messengers only when they hear prayer summons in the temple. … There are two sorcerers I have slaughtered, one who has gone astray and whose hearts have changed greatly to the detriment of the people of the Spirit, and the other who have openly fought the Spirit and committed an unforgivable crime. ”
Amon thought, “Is the latter case like Bell's? ”
Schrödinger bowed his head: "Yes, if I were a so-called goddess back then, I might have been sent to help those temple hunters, but I was taken away by Bell myself. The cost of the Ecumenical pursuit of Bel was enormous, and he was among the three great magicians and four great samurai. If I accept such a task, it will generally also guide those who catch up with Bell and confront his power at critical moments. ”
If it's pure combat power, Cat God Best surpasses many powerful opponents Amon has seen, but it's not as good as Enchidu. If it was difficult to win one-on-one battles between Best and Enqidu, but she should be able to escape. If Enqidu met Gilgamesh alone and joined forces with Gilgamesh, Enqidu fought head-on, and Gilgamesh staged a soul-wrapping approach to lock her up, Best could have been slaughtered, as was the case with Humbaba.
When the gods in the Divine System deal with the powerful demons in the world, it is usually to send down the Oracle for the world's temples to send their masters to exterminate, sometimes sending messengers to help in the dark. The temple will also take the initiative to kill the so-called demons. Sometimes their opponents are too strong, they will pray to the gods. The gods will know that if necessary, they will send messengers. Goddess Best was once the most powerful of all messengers in the Nine Unions.
Schrödinger, as if he didn't want to talk more about this topic, stood up and shouted at Ammon: "Soon you will learn in my soul trail what is' the quest of destiny, the judgment of the end ’? My experience is proof and helpful for your practice, but only this is unclear whether it is good or bad.... It's a beautiful day, can you take me for a walk by the Ronnie River? ”
Amon also stood up: “It's been months. It's rare that you're happy. Let's go for a walk on the Ronnie River and touch some fish for you. ”
Schrödinger glanced at Amon with his head crooked: “Not that I'm interested. You've been through so much in my soul tracks, but you're interested in catching fish for me. That's the real rarity. ”
The Empire General has been in abyss for several months, and the farmers of the territory finally saw Amon come out for a walk, walking behind his back, out of the villages built by slaves such as Moses, crossing the grass slopes, fields and beaches, with no servants, only a cat to sneak up on.
The wind and sunshine, the clouds in the sky are like a bunch of white lambs, the Ronnie River never stops running. Amon stood on a leaf boat, squatting Schrödinger on the bow without paddles or sails, and the boat gently floated away from the waves. It doesn't follow the waves, it goes straight to the heart of the river. On the steep slopes of the shore, a large group of crocodiles were struck, swimming into the river with their squamous backs out by the boat and diving into the deep water.
Amon anchored the boat to the heart of the river, felt the water waves constantly flowing under his feet, waved a few fish, the flames rose in the air, various sorts of magic washed the scales and guts clean, the seasoning sprayed in the air, blinking the scent, then took out a gold plate and put the fish in front of Schrödinger.
Schrödinger sighed: "Amon, your skill is getting better and better, this fish is great! ”
Amon smiled: "Just be careful, because you like it. ”
Schrödinger lifted the cat's eyes: “People often forget that the sky turns out to be so blue and blue is moving. ”
Amon also looked up at the sky and said, "You were sad. Are you feeling better now? ”
Schrödinger laughed: “In a hundred years, I've never been as sad or as happy as I am today. ”
Happy to see Schrödinger, Amon was also pleased. He wanted to continue Schrödinger's soul mark that night. After two hundred years, the most critical moment had come, but Schrödinger advised him to rest for a few more days and must go through the latter part with the fullest peak state.
Amon rested for three days, while cultivating the power of Grade 8 achievement, all the techniques he had learned before, can be instantaneous at this moment. He sensed that he had experienced Schrödinger's past over the past few months and had mastered all of Schrödinger's techniques before breaking through the ninth level of achievement, except to change into a cat, because he was not Schrödinger after all.
He felt his condition was at an unprecedented peak, but Schrödinger persuaded him to practice for two more days, so he waited until five nights later to start over.
……
Best has changed from a cat to a person, and from one person to another has been honored as a god. She has endless life, energy, and constant power to heal the soul. She already sees herself as a god in her consciousness. She has also seen spirits who truly transcend immortality, as have human means, and the difference is only strength and weakness.
During this experience, Amon gained a new understanding of the Divine Domain, accompanied by Best's soul tracks into the home of the Nine Legions. This is a wonderful world, above the fourth waterfall upstream of the Ronnie River. Normally people come here to see only waterfalls and mountains, and find no abnormalities at all.
But after opening a strange space portal, there is another world hidden here, a world created by God in man, with majestic palaces and strange flowers and grasses from all over the continent, where the messengers of the gods gather to practice. This wonderful world protects them from outside interference, and the environment is better suited to cultivating power. Best has a small, independent palace.
This is called the Jiuyuan Shrine, first built by Ann La, and later built by Isis and Seth, each brick, stone, grass and tree is the most beautiful in the world, using the power of the brilliant Falun Front to gather forces everywhere between the heavens and the earth to create a magical world of space. But the true gods rarely show up here. Only Horus has lived in the Jiuyuan Shrine for many years, and the messengers of the gods have obeyed him.
Amon also “went” to the underworld of the Nine Unions in Schrödinger's soul trail. Mythologically, Osiris lived at the end of the Ronnie River, symbolizing the end of people's lives, and the Underworld was indeed painted on a beach where the Ronnie River entered the sea, flooded for half a year. The Underworld is also invisible to ordinary people, it is like another strange space world, very similar to but slightly different from the Underworld of the Anunaki Divine System, and Ammon is not really experiencing it yet.
Schrödinger had seen the god most often, of course, Osiris, but Amon had never seen the face of the god in her soul traces, and he was like a shadow like nothing else.
Years later, Schrödinger, who thought he was a god, gradually became confused, as if endless lives had become a little boring. Year after year, it was like a monotonous river that flowed across the same riverbed, and life and old illness were constantly changing, but life always seemed to be acquainted. She wondered, is this how I am a god? From a cat to a goddess, is that what you're after? I've witnessed too much, but why?
The real test came just as her three hundred years of unwavering conviction bewildered!
Best was in the Underworld, and a strange force ignored the blockade of the Underworld space and drove her straight out, appearing on a desolate beach. Schrödinger thought he had encountered a powerful enemy, most likely attacked by an exotic god. The underworld was built in a magical space, who could push her directly out of the underworld? The enemy is powerful and unimaginable.
She looked up and saw a grey vortex in the air, like tearing the world apart into an infinite unknown abyss. She put on her armor and picked up her weapon, followed by a black lightning that struck silently, not only on her weapon, but invaded her soul, as if the sun had suddenly lit up in the dark, and she understood what she was facing.
Just as Amon witnessed the Enlightenment with his own eyes, Best experienced the invisible struggle of his opponent, all attacks seemingly acquainted, hidden in black lightning, containing all the injuries sustained by the enemies she slaughtered in her lifetime. She couldn't hide, she had to face it, like a fate test.
According to ordinary people's understanding, defeating a person actually depends not only on strength, but also on the timing and location of the hand. For example, a kilogram of strike may not necessarily hurt a Hercules, but a lighter knife at the end of the day can kill the opponent. These are the skills in the fight. But the quest for destiny did not contain this technique, it was the power to send out harm, and with Best's accomplishments at the time, shape could have changed, there was no harm to be said, just to confront.
And the power of black lightning is more than that, it's also shocking her soul, and all the resentment of this goddess Best has erupted. Best finally realized that the gratitude she had garnered in the altar and the goodwill in prayer could counteract that resentment, otherwise the first blow of Black Lightning would crush her soul.
It was like a doomsday trial, without enemies, a reflex of all her actions in her own life, and Best finally felt really weak, and she was far less powerful than she thought. Three hundred years of training were destroyed, and all the incarnations attached to the temples everywhere disappeared. Her life had ended and her soul had been severely injured, losing all its power, but had not been dispersed.
When the black vortex disappeared, she eventually realized that she was not the same as those who were once restrained, that she could re-attach to a blank life and combine her soul with her vitality, which was a choice between thought and hope that she was still a cat. Three hundred years of practice, all the achievements, were ultimately only given the opportunity to make this ideological choice.
It was at this moment that her soul was suddenly stopped by a magical force, as if to stop time for an eternal moment. This is the magic of the dead, and it is the magic of the dead that real spirits can perform. The man who did it was Osiris, and the god spoke, just as he blended his soul into hers, giving Best three choices.
