Bai Shen didn't lie, he really didn't have long to live, or that the world didn't have much time left for him.
"Rest assured."
Bai Shen pretended to smile lightly: "Until you achieve victory, I will try to live well." ” "Hmph."
Gilgamesh let out a soft snort from his nose, not knowing whether he was mocking Bai Shen's choice or expressing his dissatisfaction, "Don't make me wrong, do you really think that those nonsense words can fool me casually" Gilgamesh's red eyes narrowed, like the finest rubies, stunningly beautiful, but also full of danger, "You are hiding something important."
"Worthy of the ancient hero king, the senses are terrifyingly keen, Bai Shen did not answer, just smiled and looked at Gilgamesh.
Oh, is it the same smile again, the curvature of Gilgamesh's mouth rose a little more, "Forget it, it's more interesting this way, you do your best to protect those little secrets, make me feel happy." ” Although these words were extremely arrogant, Bai Shen understood what Gilgamesh wanted to express, that is, the other party did not intend to pursue this matter.
In a sense, once you are recognized by Gilgamesh, he will face you with the greatest tolerance, which can be regarded as a rare gentleness of the king.
Inanna's death soon reached the ears of the gods and caused an uproar.
The relationship between the gods and Inanna varies, and there are people who are happy to see her die, such as her sister, but no matter what, the gods can't stand the fact that a human would dare to threaten them.
It is normal for the gods to fight each other and cause the gods to fall, but they will never allow any human to threaten them, and Gilgamesh has committed the greatest taboo of the gods.
After deliberation, the gods unanimously decided to inflict divine punishment on Gilgamesh and destroy the city of Uruk.
The punishment of the gods was terrible, and they had mastered the power of nature to stop the growth of all things in Uruk, to spread disease and pestilence, and to fill the four seasons with bitter winter.
Not only that, but the gods also sent down oracles showing that Gilgamesh was a sinner of mankind, that he had challenged the authority of the gods and that he must be punished, and that if anyone could take off his head, the gods would grant one of his wishes.
All of a sudden, the entire human world was boiling, and a large number of warriors poured into Uruk's territory to take Gilgamesh's head.
But the territory of Uruk was very bad, because of divine punishment, plague and disease were rampant, almost like a dead city, and even food was hard to find.
With the exception of those with particularly strong physiques, most of the brave men died in too harsh conditions before they could reach the temple.
The gods realized that they had made a great mistake, and seeing that Uruk had almost died in name only, they stopped the spread of the plague, let the seasons bloom forever, and let the earth always bear fruit, creating the best conditions for the warriors who would later challenge Gilgamesh.
Uruk also changed from a god-cursed city to a god-blessed city overnight, albeit in a mocking way.
Although the gods' actions made the warriors who poured into Uruk have no worries, the strong people who are generally very confident in their own strength often enter Uruk in the first batch, so the combat power of these latecomers is naturally much worse than before.
Although they all made it to the temple, they were defeated by the temple guards and were not even qualified to see the king.
The reason why these guards are still alive is because of the enchantment around the temple, so as long as they do not leave the temple, they will not be affected by plague and disease.
In terms of food, the temple itself has a large amount of food stored in it, and it exists as a granary, so there is no need to worry about it in a short time.
The gods did not expect Gilgamesh to be so well prepared, and they thought that they had already rebelled.
In a fit of rage, the gods thought of a new way, that is, to strengthen those warriors with divine power, and use crowd tactics to defeat Gilgamesh.
This time, the tactics finally worked, the warriors who had been strengthened by the gods were strong, and the temple guards were no match at all, just when the gods thought that they could get their wish this time, they planted their backs.
Before these warriors arrived at the royal palace of Gilgamesh, there was infighting, everyone wanted to be the first to kill Gilgamesh, and each warrior who had been strengthened by the gods felt that they had enough strength to fight Gilgamesh, so these warriors chosen by the gods began to kill each other, and finally all self-destructed.
The gods were so angry that they organized a total of three operations, but they didn't even succeed once, and the most infuriating thing was that Gilgamesh didn't make a move at all, which made the gods not know how strong he was.
It's not that the gods haven't beaten Rhemat Ninsun's idea, after all, the other party is Gilgamesh's mother, and it is a good way to use her to threaten Gilgamesh, but in the end, this plan was not implemented, because Rhimat Ninsun, as a goddess, has good strength, plus she also has a lot of friends with gods, the most important point is that Rhimat Ninsun published a god, she will not intervene in this matter, that is, the two do not help each other, as a mother, this is already the limit of what she can do.
The gods didn't want anything to happen, so they didn't move Rhimat Ningsun, after all, she provoked the goddess, and no one knew what final means she had, as long as she didn't help her son, the gods felt that taking Gilgamesh was a sure thing.
For this reason, the gods also inquired about the history of Inanna's fall from the queen of the underworld, Ilkalullah.
Ilkalullah didn't hide it either, and directly said that Inanna fell into the hands of Gilgamesh after she was beaten half to death, and as for why Inanna was beaten half to death, the smart gods did not continue to ask, because everyone knew about the bad relationship between the two sisters.
Since Gilgamesh did not defeat Inanna on his own, it meant that he was not worth mentioning, and with the arrogance of the god king Anu, it was naturally impossible for him to personally deal with a few humans, and the same was true for other gods.
It's just that the execution of a small number of human beings requires the gods to do it themselves, and it is too shameless to spread it, and under this kind of thought, the gods have bewitched humans to organize the fourth operation.
Under the first three crusades, the vitality of other countries has also been damaged to a certain extent, after all, they have sent the most elite fighters of their own country, and these fighters have gone and never returned, you can imagine the situation of their own country, fortunately, the same is true in other countries, otherwise the side that suddenly becomes weaker will definitely be invaded by other countries.
To tell the truth, in the face of the gods' request again, the kingdoms no longer wanted to invest more combat power, but first, they did not dare to blatantly disobey the gods, and second, the gods promised many benefits, so that the kings of the kingdoms were shaken again, In fact, this is a kind of gambler's mentality, he has lost so much, he has to win it back no matter what, and if his own country does not send people, let other countries seize the opportunity, and when the crusade is over, his own country can still be good So this time, the countries are also desperate, almost pouring out of the nest.
The gods were very satisfied, and they did not believe that Gilgamesh could escape with such an army The gods also made a bloody investment this time, the god of war used divine power to boost the morale of the army, the god of casting provided equipment for the army, and the strongest warriors were also strengthened like those last time.
In order to prevent the nations from killing each other, the gods deliberately gave the kings of each country a death order in advance, as long as the combined forces can succeed this time, each country can make a request to the gods according to their performance, in addition to a large amount of gold and silver treasures, completely eliminating the possibility of the tragedy of the previous time.
The nations were rewarded with ambition, and the gods were full of confidence, as if this war was the end.
Inside the temple, Bai Shen stretched out his hand, and a black butterfly rested on his fingertips.
The door behind it creaked open, and the butterflies dissipated with the wind.
"There's news," Gilgamesh leaned against the door with his hands folded over his chest.
"You've come at the right time, just as we expected."
Bai Shen laughed lightly, "The gods really sent more troops over, and this time the countries can be said to have poured out." ” "Hmph."
Gilgamesh laughed sarcastically, "Stupid choice." ” "But it's thanks to their stupidity that they gave us so much time to prepare."
Bai Shen looked at the false and beautiful scenery outside the window, "The gods are really arrogant creatures, if they deal with us personally from the beginning, maybe we won't last long." ” "Isn't it wonderful," Gilgamesh turned, his red eyes shining with cold and excited light, "let's take advantage of this arrogance and let the gods prostrate at our feet." ” "Indeed, I'll leave it to you."

Bai Shen said slowly: "It's time for me to set off too." ” Everything went according to his plan, the gods and adults really cooperated, and the cooperation made him feel a little boring, only Ilkalura, the queen of the underworld, surprised him a little, he thought that Ilkalullah could not really fulfill his promise, but in fact, after Inanna's death, Ilkalullah really stopped the time of the Styx, but I don't know how long this queen intends to stop, especially in this case of war.
If the River Styx does not work, then these souls who died due to the war will not be able to enter the River Styx, and resentment and negative emotions will continue to linger in the world, and in the long run, the human world will be reduced to hell, and even the divine world will be affected.
However, this is a very good thing for him, and darkness and resentment are the source of his strength, so he should be grateful to Ilkalullah.
Bai Shen did not leave the temple, he said that the departure was to invade the dreams of those kings with the power of darkness, and since Gilgamesh already knew about his power, there was no need for him to hide it.
One of the dumbest things the gods did in this battle was to take advantage of the humans, and at the beginning of the crusade, they made their own trouble, killing the first warriors to enter Uruk with plague and disease.
And among these warriors, some of them are closely related to the royal family.
A large part of the reason why these kings put aside their hatred for a while and continue to obey the gods is that they understand the cost of disobedience.
Bai Shen's mouth cannon kung fu was already extremely powerful, not to mention that these gods gave him so many handles.
There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests, and if you want these countries to turn against them, you only need to come up with benefits that they absolutely cannot refuse.
That is to become a god from a human like Gilgamesh "Human beings are not free at all times, and as long as there are gods, we must always obey them."
"In such a world, where should the will of human beings go, even if he is the king of one side, he cannot do what he wants, and he is free to hire."
"If the so-called gods are merciful and caring beings, then it is okay to listen to such a god, but in fact, most gods are full of selfish desires, and in their eyes, humans are just insignificant ants, so in this crusade against Gilgamesh, even if more humans die, they are indifferent."
"But among those people are your relatives, and your fellow gods do not understand how heavy the price you have paid, and they just plunder them again, and send you away afterwards with rewards that they do not care about."
"Even if that reward is all the treasures of the world or eternal life, as long as you live, you will be ruled over forever.
Eventually your relatives and friends will be far away from you, and in the end of your long life, you will find that what you have gained is meaningless. ” The kings who had been gathered together could not see the man in the darkness for what he really was, but they could deny that they knew that what he was telling was true "Who are you," the kings asked each other with an exchange of glances and into the darkness of their dreams.
"I am your wish."
Bai Shen said slowly: "To be precise, I am the wish of all human beings in the world, your desire created me, and from this wish, I also give you the strength to be able to fight with the gods. ” "What do you mean?"
the kings at this time had realized that this battlefield was not simple.
"Why do you think the gods killed Gilgamesh," Bai Shen chuckled softly, "just because he offended the gods, he relied on his own strength and killed the goddess Inanna." ” What kings were shaken, and what a great force it took to be able to kill the gods Bai Shen took the opportunity to add a fire, "The gods feel the threat of Gilgamesh, so they want to get rid of him, and you are the pawns chosen by the gods. ” "It's so pathetic."
Bai Shen whispered softly, "The fire that was finally ignited among the human race will be destroyed in the hands of the human race itself. ” "Shouldn't the king of Uruk be an example for you to follow," was the demagoguery that led people to hell, "the time has come for revolution and for humanity to no longer need to be dominated by the gods, for humanity will overcome the gods and become the new gods." ” Yes, this is what Bai Shen is ready for, as long as it is a human being, it is absolutely impossible to refuse.
"How is this possible" Several kings could not accept such a huge amount of information and had already exclaimed.
"But what should we do, so that we can have the strength to fight with the gods like the king of Uruk" Seeing these kings throwing out the most critical questions, Bai Shen laughed, yes, he knew that he had succeeded, because compared to the impossible and impossible, the first thing these people thought of was how to do it, which means that they have subconsciously chosen this path to fight against the gods.
"Just make a wish."
The darkness began to dissipate, "The stronger the desire, the stronger it will make you stronger, and this is the power I give you. ” "Who are you, why are you helping us, are you also a god?"
the kings asked several questions in one breath.
"I'm neither a god nor a human, as I said before, I'm just a wish itself."
Finding that the darkness was about to disappear, the kings asked, "Did you also give the king of Uruk the power to kill the gods?"
"Who knows" Bai Shen left an ambiguous sentence, "As long as he has such a strong desire, he can obtain that level of power, kill the gods, and obtain their godhead, the more godhead he obtains, the more powerful the godhead he can be, and a new era is coming" The dream awoke, but every king knew that it was no ordinary dream, and they were not stupid enough to believe the words of the mysterious man in the dream immediately, but chose to experiment.
As kings, they both have the highest power in a country, and they not only pray for power beyond the gods, but also have the domestic priests and citizens pray together.
The final result shocked them, it turned out that what the mysterious man said was true, and they had gained strength far beyond that of humans, even if it was a god, they believed in the power of a battle.
Since then, the situation has changed completely.
Inside the temple, Bai Shen opened his eyes and was surprised to find that Gilgamesh was actually guarding his side.
"That's it," Gilgamesh asked.
"Not bad."
Bai Shen nodded, "That annoying united army should return immediately." ” "Ha," Gilgamesh sneered, "I'm really looking forward to seeing the stunned expressions of those gods. ” "There's going to be a chance."
Bai Shen sat up from the bed and stretched out his hand towards Gilgamesh, "The next thing is the real battle, are you ready?"
"Of course."
As soon as Gilgamesh grasped Bai Shen's hand, the smile on his face was confident and arrogant, "This king has been waiting impatiently, and when this war is over, he will go to the Styx to pick up our friends." ” Bai Shen was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Yes, so you must fight quickly." ” Gilgamesh at this time did not know that this was him:
