Chapter 6 - Horus' Awakening

"I've arrived in Ancient Egypt?"

In a Palace in Memphis, Egypt.

The system's voice, which had been silent for thousands of years after Tan Weili's reincarnation, rang in his ears again.

[Congratulations on waking up again!]

[After 7960 years of slumber, you have successfully arrived at the second dynasty of Ancient Egypt!]

[As per your request, you have become the son of the fourth pharaoh of the second dynasty, Pharaoh Possibson.]

[At the same time, under the effects of Stonehenge, you will also have the identity of a god. You are the God of Ancient Egypt's royalty and revenge, the son of the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris, Horus!]

[Long time no see, my host!]

Tan Weili was stunned by this.

Due to Tan Weili's death, the system had entered a dormant state since 10686 BC.

It was not until he was born in this world after 2726 BC that the system finally woke up from its dormancy.

However, to Tan Wei, the last time he had heard the system's voice was only a few seconds ago.

Therefore, he didn't have any feelings of reminiscence.

At this moment, he only wanted to finish what he had been interrupted by the gods who had killed him. He wanted to check his gains after building Stonehenge.

According to the system, after the completion of Stonehenge, he had gained the special ability to communicate with the spirits of nature and astrology, as well as the additional authority of a mythical character when he reincarnated.

He was now just a baby who had fallen to the ground, so it was not convenient for him to perform astrology and communicate with the nature spirits.

Thus, he decided to study his own divine power.

Tan Weili's eyes opened and closed.

In the next moment, his baby face suddenly changed.

His eyes became bigger and rounder, and he shifted his gaze to the sides of his face.

Brown feathers and a sharp beak quickly grew out of his originally fragile skin, turning him into a child with an eagle's head and a human body.

Such an appearance was clearly the image of Horus in Ancient Egypt mythology!

However, even though Tan Weili's appearance had changed drastically...

However, the palace maids who were standing on the cradle and serving him to sleep did not react at all.

He touched the beak on his face and asked, "Isn't this maid afraid of me? Is she already used to such a scene?"

Before the system could answer, a slightly old and decaying voice solved Tan Weili's confusion.

"Your body hasn't changed."

"It's just that you, who are in the Divine Realm, have seen your image as a god!"

...

"Who is it?"

Tan Weili immediately became alert when he heard the unfamiliar voice.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a god with an eagle's head and a human body, just like himself, standing beside his cradle and looking at him calmly.

Seeing Tan Weili's alert expression, the god with the eagle head said indifferently, "It seems that you, who fell into a deep sleep since you were born, don't know anything about this world!"

Tan Weili's brain worked quickly as he examined the other person's appearance.

He quickly found an existence that matched the appearance of the god in the Egypt pantheon.

Thus, he asked in a probing tone, "The Sun God, Ra?"

Upon hearing this, Sun God Ra's expression softened a little.

"It seems like you're not completely clueless about everything!" Ra said.

It wasn't to the extent of not knowing anything.

However, Tan Weili did not know one thing.

According to Ra, Horus had been in a deep sleep since he was born.

And this did not match the description of Horus in Egypt mythology!

'System, what's going on?'

The system explained, [In accordance with the host's wish to become Horus, the system has branded Horus with the host's personality when he was first born, making him a part of the host.]

[However, since you were in a state of death at that time, you, as a part of the god, will also be in a state of muddled sleep!]

Tan Weili understood.

However, after that question was answered, Tan Weili was confused about another thing.

He asked the system, 'Then, if I die again, what will happen to me as a part of Horus?'

[With the host's death, Horus will once again fall into a deep sleep.]

[Unless you build a Great Pyramid, bury your body within it, and resurrect yourself into this life in the future, you will not be able to use Horus' power!]

The system's answer cleared Tan Weili's doubts.

After finishing his conversation with the system, Tan Weili turned his gaze back to Ra.

Of course, he could not explain his situation to Ra.

Otherwise, if the other party knew that Horus had become a part of an unknown outsider since birth, they would definitely not let him off.

Tan Weili combined the history and myths of Ancient Egypt and said to Ra, "I fell into a deep sleep because of the division of Egypt, and I will naturally wake up because the power of the pharaoh is about to rule every inch of Egypt."

Ra was shocked by Tan Weili's explanation.

The power of a pharaoh was about to rule every inch of Egypt?

This was something that even he had not predicted.

If this was true, then Horus really was a special god!

Ra said, "If I were you, I would be careful."

"Whether it's a man or a god, there are many existences that don't want Egypt to be unified."

Tan Weili narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

He knew what Ra meant, so he said, "Don't worry! I will hide in the palace until I become an adult."

...

Time flew by like an arrow.

14 years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past 14 years, Sun God Ra had not spread the prophecy that Egypt would be unified, which would cause unnecessary trouble for Tan Weili.

And Tan Weili was just as he had said, living a life of seclusion.

However, Ra still sent down an oracle through a priest, telling Tan Weili's current father in the human world, Possibson, that his son was the newly awakened God of Royalty, Horus.

Possibson, who learned the truth, was both surprised and delighted.

In order to celebrate the awakening of the God of royalty, Possibson immediately gave Tan Weili a special name. Sekeheim meant 'the birth of power'!

Just as Tan Weili's birthday was about to come, an oracle suddenly descended from the Divine Realm to the human world.

The gods will hold a grand celebration for Horus' awakening at Sekeheim's 14th coming-of-age ceremony!

However, the host of the ceremony was not Sekeheim's father, Pharaoh Possibson.

Neither was it Horus's father, Osiris.

The host of the ceremony had a divine name that surprised Tan Weili, 'Set!'

He was surprised because, in Egypt mythology, it was Set who had killed Horus' father and killed Osiris, usurping his position.

After that, Horus went through a series of acts of revenge and took back the position of pharaoh.

...To let his future enemy host his coming-of-age ceremony, Tan Weili didn't understand what the Egypt gods were thinking.

...

At the same time, in a dark and lightless Set's temple, a priest knelt in front of the god's statue with a jackal head and a human body, praying devoutly.

Suddenly, he heard Set's gloomy voice, "Are you all ready?"

Upon hearing his master's question, the priest who served Set replied in a trembling voice, "According to your guidance, your servant has found the powerful jackal."

"This will be a test for His Highness Horus. We will defeat him and announce to the ignorant people Horus' weakness and your strength!"

Very good!

Set nodded in satisfaction and left the temple.

At this moment, Set was ready to usurp the position of the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris.

As Osiris' son, Horus, who had suddenly awoken, was clearly an obstacle to his plan to usurp the throne.

Since he was an obstacle, Set could only get rid of Horus!
