Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 704 - 249: Seeing the Sun_2

They could only construct a similar creation atop their own pyramid, transforming it into a ’Capstone’, built in the form of a Sundial.

The square shape represented the four directions, and its pointed tip symbolized the gnomon. It was placed at the pinnacle of the pyramid, symbolizing the land that first emerged from the Primordial Water. The circular perimeter represented time, and the central cross symbolized space, essentially embodying the "Order of Temporal."

At last, they engraved the inscription they most desired—’Construct for him the ladder of Ascension, so he may ascend from the Mortal Realm to The Sky.’

This was the Gate to The Sky in the eyes of the Egyptians, the Stairway of Ascension, which no one had ever managed to control, except Ramses had done so.

Thus, during this moment when God had long ceased to manifest, no one dared question his intentions.

"Let’s go, I’ve expelled him three times. Now it’s my turn to meet him."

"Sun City... God will watch over all of this."

With large strides, the ocean of wraiths parted before Ramses.

No matter what was on their minds, at that moment, everyone followed by the Pharaoh’s side.

Since the Benben Stone had chosen Ramses, there must naturally be a reason for it.

Even the most devout believers would not question his authority at this time.

...

Crack, crack...

The sound of bones grinding and flesh colliding occasionally resounded, and except for a few, those who accompanied him could scarcely avoid being terrified.

The stench of rotting flesh and blood spread, and without the light of the Benben Stone, many among the group would likely have died of fright or contracted a disease directly.

Fortunately, reality holds no ifs. Along the way, the sound of weapons clashing and battle cries rose and fell. At the city’s center, a temple reminiscent of a pyramid loomed in the distance.

Centered around that spot, thousands of kilometers were packed with people. Some held children, some leaned on canes, but most were young people.

After all, amidst these continuous natural disasters, it was only the strong and able-bodied who had a greater chance of survival.

However, in that crowd, what truly caught the eye was the old man standing at the very center.

He lightly touched the ground with the tip of his Serpent Staff, and divine light flowed around him.

The wraiths held back by the Guards were merely the ones that had slipped through the net, countless wraiths enveloped this small city.

Below the ground, the skeletons of beasts crawled through the soil; in The Sky, skeletal birds let out mournful cries. But they were all blocked beneath that layer of divine light, and even in the eyes of the Pharaoh, he could see even more at that moment.

An ethereal scroll unfolded in The Sky, its power continuously directing the arrival of the wraiths. And the true enemy that the old man holding the Scepter faced was it itself. Without the existence of the scroll, perhaps the entire city’s wraiths would have been easily swept away by him.

This was the power of God, and also the reason Ramses had come.

Initially, Messe’s power wasn’t this formidable, which is why he thought there was still a chance to oppose him. But now, unless the All Gods of Egypt descended here directly, he couldn’t see any possibility of opposition.

"And besides, it’s pointless now. Throughout the world, from ancient times to the present, only the Nile River Basin has been able to sustain a civilization. Those oases in the desert can only allow tribes to exist, not give birth to a civilization that could rival that of Egypt."

"If they can’t find a better place then I don’t need to do anything; they will perish on their own. And if they can still find a place to dwell outside of here, that proves that their gods are still bestowing divine miracles."

"And God... has no objection to this."

Witnessing this miracle-like scene, Ramses once again reaffirmed his thoughts.

He strode forward, heading in the direction where Messe was located.

The living among the wraiths were so conspicuous, he hardly needed to do anything. When the group truly approached the circle guarded by the Hebrews, they were quickly spotted.

"Who goes there, halt!"

A stern shout, the guard responsible for overseeing the area immediately called out to halt, but the next moment, his expression turned to one of disbelief.

"Are you the Pharaoh?"

"I am Ramses, now, step aside."

The Pharaoh glanced indifferently at the guard in tattered armor, instantly recognizing it as the attire of an Egyptian soldier.

However, he didn’t say much at that moment, because standing here, he already felt the central surge of the crowd, the gaze from Messe watching him.

"In accordance with the agreement, you have built Sun City. Now, it is time for me and your Prophet to meet."

For some reason, Ramses felt a bit excited at the moment, his body also felt better than usual.

Given his age, this was somewhat surprising, perhaps this was the power of the Benben Stone.

Continuing forward, the Pharaoh did not think anyone in front of him would dare to obstruct him, and indeed, that was the case.

He hoped to end all of this quickly, to restore Egypt to its former peace.

...

In the center of Sun City, in front of the New Temple for La, the tension that had lasted all night gradually relaxed.

Apart from the initial upheavals, the turmoil within the city soon calmed down. The tremors of the earth started severely, but then settled down. And although the number of wraiths was substantial, Messe did not consider them a threat.

The ethereal scroll in The Sky was about to dissipate. In the face of divine power granted by God, the departed wraiths couldn’t actually breach his protection.

As long as he depleted the last of the scroll’s power, victory would ultimately be on his side.
