Chapter 7 - A Power Older Than Ancient Egypt

Although Set was the host of Horus's awakening ceremony in name...

However, as a god, Set would not perform in front of others.

Therefore, the actual host of the ceremony was the priest who served Set.

Under the arrangement of Set's priest, the ceremony of Horus' awakening was held in the Temple of the Sun in Memphis.

As the Sun God of Egypt, Ra was the leader of the gods.

Allowing Horus to hold a celebration in his temple was definitely politically correct!

As the day of the celebration arrived, Tan Weili entered the Temple of the Sun under the arrangement of Set's priests.

Under the guidance of these priests, he went through the long and narrow passage and went all the way up to a terrace at the highest point of the temple.

However, just as Tan Weili was about to walk out of the balcony, he suddenly felt a strange chill around him.

At the same time, he could hear the shrieks of thousands of ghosts.

Tan Weili, who felt something strange, immediately stopped.

He looked around but only saw Set's priest looking at him in confusion.

"Your Highness Horus, what's the matter?"

"Don't you guys feel cold?" Tan Weili asked.

The priests were all stunned by Tan Weili's question.

How could it be cold in the temple of the Sun God, Ra?

However, just as the leading priest was about to speak, a cold wind suddenly blew past him from behind.

The priest immediately changed his words and said, "It's indeed a little cold..."

Tan Weili understood. He closed his eyes and entered the dimension of the Divine Realm.

The moment he entered the Divine Realm, Tan Weili transformed into Horus, who had the head of an eagle and the body of a human.

In front of him, a man with a majestic and cold aura with a curled beard appeared.

He was none other than Horus' father, the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris!

"Father!"

When he saw Osiris, Tan Weili nodded in respect.

Osiris waved his hand and said, "The road to unifying Egypt will be full of obstacles. Are you ready?"

Although Ra did not spread the news that Egypt was about to be unified, he still told Osiris about Horus' prophecy.

Osiris had mixed feelings about his son, who had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

On the one hand, he didn't want his son to bear too much.

However, he also knew that since the birth of these gods, they were destined to be bound to the authority and myths created by mortals for them.

The mortals admired their power, but they didn't know that the gods also envied their freedom.

Even though he was the Lord of the Netherworld, Osiris could only stand in front of his son and ask him if he was ready to go. This would put him at ease.

In response to Osiris' question, Tan Weili's eyes brimmed with confidence as he smiled and said, "Don't worry! The unification of Egypt will be unstoppable!"

Upon seeing this, Osiris did not say anything more and gave way to his son.

The next moment, Tan Weili walked out of the temple and onto the balcony.

At this moment, the terrace was already filled with people.

Some of them were nobles in fine clothes and jewelry.

Some were men and women, all topless, with only a piece of cloth wrapped around their waists.

There were also slaves who could not afford clothes and could only be naked.

However, when Tan Weili appeared on the balcony, they all shouted his divine and human name in unison.

"Horus! Sekeheim!"

"Horus! Sekeheim!"

"Horus! Sekeheim!"

Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Tan Weili waved his hand to signal to them.

Then, under the organization of the priests, the crowd once again sang songs of praise for the Sun God Ra, Horus' father, the Lord of the Netherworld Osiris, and Horus. They once again held a sacrifice to the gods.

Even Tan Weili received an offering from the priest...

The feeling of being offered sacrifices and being prayed to for blessings was quite strange.

In particular, some aristocrats hoped that they could follow the rule of the pharaoh and enjoy the power of aristocrats for thousands of generations.

However, he still wanted to say something to the nobles.

'There is no eternity in the royal power!'

After these rituals and celebrations ended, the main event of the day was coming!

Under the guidance of Set's priest, a 1.5-meter long and 70-centimeter tall giant jackal, which was twice the size of an ordinary jackal, walked to the terrace.

Then, a priest announced loudly, "Here, on behalf of my master, Set, I am carrying out a divine order to test His Highness Horus!"

"In this test, His Highness Horus will have to face the attack of the messenger of God Set alone and defeat it!"

Upon hearing this, Osiris, who was in the Divine Realm, looked at Set coldly. "What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, the jackal-headed Set nonchalantly said, "Don't worry, my brother! I just want to train this child."

"After all, it's not a good thing to spoil someone blindly!"

Hearing these words, Osiris snorted coldly and looked at Sun God Ra.

However, the oldest leader among the gods just closed his eyes and rested, not saying a word.

Ra had acquiesced to this trial.

He did not think that Horus would be easily defeated by the jackal that Set had brought.

Therefore, he wanted to use Set's hands to test the abilities of Horus, who had predicted things that even he did not know about.

However, the next moment, a killing intent that was even colder than Osiris' Netherworld aura and even more violent than Set's killing intent suddenly came from the balcony.

Under this killing intent, the gods all felt their hearts palpitate.

How was that possible?

Set's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Horus on the balcony. Horus was able to stop his pet from moving with just his killing intent.

Didn't Horus fall into a deep sleep from the moment he was born?

Where did he get such a powerful and terrifying murderous aura?

Something must have gone wrong!

In fact, Set's judgment was not wrong.

If Horus had been the only one fighting the jackal on the balcony, he would not have been able to release such a powerful killing intent.

However, Horus was only a part of Tan Weili!

His main body was actually a terrifying upright human that had come from the ancient times 8000 years ago and had experienced hundreds of years of harsh environments. His hunting and fighting abilities had reached the peak!

If Set had arranged a warrior with unparalleled martial arts skills for Tan Weili, he might have been able to defeat him.

But wild beasts?

They were just Tan Weili's prey!

He only needed one look to make his prey shiver!

Looking at the gods who were watching him in the Divine Realm, Tan Weili sneered and stepped forward...

With his hands, he broke the neck of the jackal that had lost its ability to resist!

...

At night, in the palace.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Pharaoh Possibson held a palace banquet for him.

After the meal, Tan Weili walked back to his room alone.

Suddenly, he caught a whiff of a faint fragrance.

A faint melodious tune also appeared in his ears.

This was not the first time Tan Weili felt something like this, so he immediately stopped.

He closed his eyes and came to the Divine Realm.

A sweet and cute girl with bull ears, who looked like an elf, appeared in front of Tan Weili.
