As Tan Weili still had the position of a pharaoh in the human world, he had to manage the entire country.
So if he went on an adventure with Bastet now, there definitely wouldn't be enough time.
So, he made a promise with Bastet that they would set off together tomorrow after Tan Weili finished dealing with government affairs.
Bastet, who usually slept during the day and came out at night like a normal cat, naturally wouldn't refuse.
Thus, Tan Weili flew back to the palace.
When Tan Weili returned to Isis' magic workshop, he realized that the other party had already left.
However, when he saw the pillow under his head and the blanket covering his body, he was stunned.
An indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
Was this family love?
Tan Weili was a little confused.
It wasn't like Tan Weili didn't have any relatives during the Stone Age.
However, due to the Stone Age, especially during the Younger Dryas Event that Tan Weili was in, the Earth's environment was harsh, and human productivity lagged behind. The problem of food shortage had always lingered on everyone's head.
In order to survive, people had no choice but to do their best.
Even so, many tribes would still have to resort to underhanded means to reduce their population due to the lack of food.
This included, but was not limited to, killing infants, banishing the elderly, and giving limited resources to adult labor who could obtain more food.
Under this pressure to survive, everyone, whether they wanted to or not, could only live like an animal, numbed like a machine.
Under such circumstances, where could Tan Weili have experienced familial love?
As he watched Isis cover him with a blanket, just like his mother in the 21st century, that distant, strange, and somewhat familiar kinship returned to Tan Weili's heart.
However, Tan Weili was not touched or surprised by the sudden affection. He only felt a faint sense of fear.
Fortunately, these thoughts only lasted for a moment before they were suppressed by Tan Weili.
He was not a sentimental person, and now was not the time to be sentimental.
If there was anything worth sighing about, it was better to wait until he returned to the 21st century and reminisce about this journey that had lasted tens of thousands of years!
Thinking of this, Tan Weili left Isis' magic workshop, returned to his room, and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, Tan Weili woke up from his sleep and asked the nobles and priests in the country to discuss the reconstruction of Egypt after the chaos of Set.
The priests were the first to step forward.
Since they more or less had this divinity, they could tell that Tan Weili's human identity was not the original Osiris, but his son, Horus.
Therefore, they judged that Tan Weili's position as the pharaoh was not secure.
He would definitely need the support of the priest group in order to sit firmly in this position.
So, the priests began to demand benefits from Tan Weili.
However, they had clearly underestimated Tan Weili's methods.
In the process of dealing with Set, Tan Weili captured all the troops Set had brought from Ethiopia and executed them on the border between the two countries.
In the process, he had built up a strong prestige in the Egypt army.
So, when the priests showed their greed in the palace, the military nobles of Egypt immediately showed their covetous eyes.
They looked at Tan Weili with eyes that seemed to say, "Pharaoh, give the order! As long as you give the order, we'll kill all these blind people!"
Tan Weili didn't stop the military nobles who were eager to try.
He was not worried that the execution of these priests would offend the gods behind them.
After all, gods only needed faith, not power.
The only ones who really needed power were the priests who served them.
Perhaps these gods had acquiesced to the priest's actions today.
However, if these priests were executed by Tan Weili, they would only say one thing:
"He deserved to die!"
However, when the military nobles were about to take things one step further and start a massacre and plunder of the temple, Tan Weili stopped them.
These military nobles had no divinity, and if they disrespected the gods, the gods could do nothing to them.
However, Tan Weili still needed to survive in the Divine Realm. He could not let himself become the target of public criticism.
Moreover, the temple that the military nobles were planning to raid was a place that believed in Isis...
Therefore, after the military nobles executed the priests who offended Tan Weili, Tan Weili did not let them go any further. He only appointed some priests who were close to him so that the power of the military nobles and the priest group could return to balance.
After he was done, Tan Weili went to Isis' magic workshop again.
"You've done very well. Even your father would find it difficult to quickly balance the current situation in a short period of time, but you've done it."
"I believe that you will be able to surpass your father and become an even better pharaoh."
In response to Isis' praise, Tan Weili said, "It's nothing. After all, in my opinion, Egypt's political structure is quite simple."
He was speaking the truth.
Egypt only a few hundred years old, and its political rules were very simple.
There was no need for complicated means to play a political game in this place.
As long as they were tough and dared to kill the vested interest groups, it was not difficult to govern the country.
After a brief chat about domestic politics, Tan Weili once again flew down to Lower Egypt through Dream Travel and found Bastet in her temple.
When Tan Weili flew into the Bastet's divine temple, the cat goddess had just woken up.
When she saw Tan Weili, she immediately jumped down from the beam.
Tan Weili's eyes and hands were quick, and he caught her.
He placed Bastet on the altar of the temple and massaged Bastet with his cat-petting hands. He said, "If we want to go to Philae Island to get the sleeping fruit, we have to go through the Evernight Kingdom."
"But the entrance to the Evernight Kingdom is very well-hidden, and only the Twelve River Goddesses in charge of the rivers at the border between Egypt and the Evernight Kingdom know how to enter."
"So, our first step is to find these Twelve River Goddesses."
Bastet felt extremely comfortable under Tan Weili's skillful cat-petting technique.
She soon made a purring sound.
After hearing Tan Weili's plan, she said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble!"
"Oh?"
Tan Weili gently rubbed Bastet's ear with one hand and scratched her chin with the other. He asked, "Do you know how to enter the Evernight Kingdom?"
"I don't know!"
Bastet shook her head, and her tail also shook twice with her head.
But then, she changed the topic and said, "Although I don't know how to enter the Evernight Kingdom, I don't have to look for them personally to see those guys."
"Come home with me. I'll talk to God Ra and ask him to order the Twelve River Goddesses to come and see me."
Let the Twelve River Goddesses take the initiative to see her?
Tan Weili was a little shocked when he heard Bastet's suggestion.
This operation did not seem to exist in Ancient Egypt mythology, right?
However, Tan Weili quickly reacted.
His relationship with Bastet was even better than the relationship between Bastet and Horus in Egypt mythology.
Therefore, in Egypt mythology, Bastet had also helped Horus when he was looking for the sleeping fruits.
But Bastet definitely wouldn't put in as much effort as she was now.
Tan Weili was overjoyed when he felt Bastet's kindness.
He immediately turned Bastet's body over, rubbed her soft belly, and said, "Then, thank you!"
"B*stard! Don't touch my stomach!"
The stomach was a cat's weakness. Touching it without permission would obviously make the cat alert.
Therefore, when she noticed that Tan Weili was touching her stomach, Bastet was once again furious.
She did a sit-up and bit Tan Weili's hand...
