Shepherding Humanity - Chapter 14

[Chapter 14 Gilgamesh, swinging his sword to the sky]

“Small civilized world, similar to ant-sized intelligent creatures.”

Xu Zhi lowered his head and looked at the intelligent species that he had limited his body size and multiplied and evolved step by step.

Back then, the juvenile ape holding the young ape in his palm, standing on the top of the giant tree, holding the sword of Damocles and roaring to the sky, he was too late, he was approaching the end of the years.

His ambitious youth attitude, arrogance and arrogance, obviously seems to be just yesterday…and it was indeed two days ago.

Their seemingly long and endless years are only a short moment in my eyes.

“Gilgamesh, how have you been all these years?” Xu Zhi whispered, his voice penetrated the vast clouds and fell into the bustling Uruk King City below, above the central palace.

Gilgamesh shuddered as he held the holy sword.

“I….I’m doing fine.”

His throat was dry and hoarse, and he looked up at the towering giant in the sky.

Even if it wasn’t the first time I saw it, I was still moved by the magnificent scene. The vast giant of the 10,000-foot level penetrated the sky straight, and the torso seemed to hold up the whole world. A trace of pure white and holy light, unable to see the majesty, the eyes between the clouds are extremely deep.

The giant is overlooking the entire city of Uruk.

Majestic, great, solemn, sacred, no words in the world can describe that kind of shocking beauty!

“My God!”

“It actually exists!”

The tens of millions of people in the city, merchants in fine leather clothes, slaves in ragged clothes, women in noble dresses, commoners, craftsmen, put down their jobs, walked out of shops and houses, and stood on the streets, looking up. The vast giant that pierced the sky.

“In the legend, the wisdom species granted to our civilization, the behemoth of wisdom…”

“A super giant with a height of 10,000 meters.”

“What a great and vast life, comparable to the sun, moon and stars in the sky!”

They are all immersed in the shock, their minds are blank, admiration, longing, fear, shock, countless complex emotions intertwined, and finally turned into unparalleled admiration.

The surrounding palace ministers were also shocked, which reminded Gilgamesh of the first time they met back then. He was also in this astonished mood. After being silent for a while, Gilgamesh raised his head and showed eager eyes, “The wisdom giant. Beast, I have done the inheritance of civilization you handed over to me more than a hundred years ago.”

Xu Zhi’s mighty voice penetrated the clouds and fell on the Uruk King City below, “Your great achievements will be recorded in the Sumerian epic “Genesis” written by you, and you will be the greatest in the history of Sumerian civilization. The first king of the king, Gilgamesh, the heroic king, will write the hymn of history for you.”

“No, the glory of thousands of years after death, living in an epic passed down by word of mouth, that’s not what I want.” Gilgamesh was excited.

“Then what do you want?”

“I want to be like you, eternal life.” Gilgamesh raised his head, looked at the towering giant, and was extremely eager, “I am willing to give up everything, I am willing to give everything, please give me the three treasures of eternal life! ”

Xu Zhi was silent for a while.

Gilgamesh, this king at this moment, has almost got everything in the world, glory, women, power, wealth, the world belongs to him, but he is still not satisfied.

Changsheng, Xu Zhi wants it too!

!

Xu Zhi is now terminally ill and on the verge of death at any time. He is very envious of Gilgamesh’s magnificent life, which is like an epic chapter in his life.

“Gilgamesh, you are too greedy, I don’t have the three treasures of longevity.” Xu Zhi calmly looked at the aging king, “The birth, aging, sickness and death of species are the laws of nature, and I can’t change them. ”

at the end of life,

Everyone wants to live.

Xu Zhi seemed to be lamenting himself and felt the same way.

In front of him, like the previous queen of the nest, his identity and status have been wiped out at this moment, and the scale of countless civilizations has been crossed. He and Gilgamesh are just two poor people who are silently waiting for their decline and facing the fear of death. species.

Regardless of whether the emperor or the ants, after all, can not escape the loess and bones.

“no no…”

Gilgamesh squeezed out his voice hoarsely, looking at the huge face in the sky, “No, you lied to me, you can do it, you can definitely do it!!”

His eyes were fiery, and he looked at Xu Zhi’s sturdy young body as tall as a mountain range and as strong as a rock. He has grown old for more than a hundred years, but he has never left any traces on this great giant’s body.

Time seemed to him like yesterday.

The behemoth of wisdom, as the most mysterious species of wisdom, in his opinion, is immortal.

“What a power this is, what a coveted longevity…”

Gilgamesh’s lips trembled, lowered his head, suddenly raised his head, and couldn’t help roaring: “Then you came in response to my call, are you here to witness my death? A humble and pitiful life, shivering. Die old.”

“I’m here to see you off, and I don’t have the ability to extend your lifespan. I’m also here for the second handover and warning of civilization.” Xu Zhi sighed and said, “Your civilization is so brutal that it will wipe out the surroundings. Creatures, destroying forests, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com slaughtering giant beasts, the whole land is trampled by you, true civilization is neither cruel nor barbaric, I ask you, stop your killing!”

“Stop, kill?”

Gilgamesh’s burly body with white hair, but still strong, suddenly trembled, trembling all over his body, his eyes seemed to be burning with a flame, more and more vigorous, burning fiercely,

The white-haired old man took a sudden step forward,

“No, the killing can’t be stopped, and my footsteps can’t be stopped either! Do you know that the sword of Damocles that you have given me over the years seems to hang high above my head , it not only gave me great strength, but also brought me unparalleled fear… And today, I will personally pull out the sword that hangs above my head!”

“Akad.”

“The minister is here.” The historian in charge of compiling the “Genesis” stepped forward.

“Write down the history of our civilization at this time, I say, you write it,” Gilgamesh said.

Akkad silently raised the quill and spread out a roll of gray animal skin paper: “Your Majesty speak.”

“The history of mankind’s struggle against nature is a history of courage and hymns…. The original intention of my order to compile “Genesis” is to leave history to future generations, and to let future generations understand the courage of our ancestors to fight against nature.”

“Now, let history record my courage at this moment.”

Gilgamesh took a heavy breath, his old body stabbed the sword of Damocles, smiled lowly, and explained:

“Genesis, the 175th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, after killing the most powerful legendary beast in history, Finba, Gilgamesh, the heroic king who had sealed the sword for more than 100 years, made another move, using the power of the whole country to lure the wisdom of the highest. The giant beast appears, and wants to swing his sword against it and kill it!”
