The greatest temptation of human beings

  Yin Nanna leaned to one side, naturally and intimately wrapping one arm around Armon's, just like they used to stroll on the prairie. Half of her soft body was pressed against him as she smiled and said: "My Armon, if you have something to say, I'm willing to listen."

  Amon cleared his throat and said, "What you just said makes a lot of sense. Although there are many places I still don't understand, I also understood it. The goddess Mu Yun punished Dumuzi for a reason, and she has already done so. And Goddess Persephone, if you want to rescue Dumuzi from the underworld, then you should go find Queen Erebus of the underworld.

  I was not aware of this matter, and I had escaped from the underworld on my own. If you want to take me in exchange for Dumuzi, it will only backfire, because the condition set by Ereshkigal is to bring someone like Dumuzi in exchange for me. Without me, there can be no exchange, and if I go, it would only mean leaving the underworld again and abandoning Dumuzi forever.

  Since I've already escaped, you can go to the underworld and find Queen Erebus, persuade her to hand over Dumuzi. I know that the queen of the underworld is not easy to talk to, but things can always be negotiated, after all, you are both gods. It's best if you, Goddess Persephone, go yourself, I can tell that Goddess Mu Yun and her sister don't seem to have a good relationship."

  Yin Nanna smiled and said, "Ah Meng, you've made things very clear. The two of us gods have gotten further apart instead. But don't call me Mu Yun, call me Yin Nanna, isn't that what we agreed on?"

  Amun smiled wryly and said: "When addressing you as a goddess, I'm still more used to calling you Mu Yun."

  Perlan Rose looked at the two with an intimate expression, her face very displeased. She said lightly: "Amon, your words make sense, you actually have the nerve to suggest what the gods should do!"

  Amun bowed slightly and said: "I was just discussing my views on something, I didn't ask Goddess to do anything."

  Persephone turned around: "You two take your time, I'm going to the underworld to find Erebus." As she spoke, her figure slowly disappeared into the fog on the marsh.

  Yin Nanna whispered in Ah Mon's ear, "She lets us warm up slowly, the words of Pelan Rose Goddess, this is a divine decree!" When she mentioned the word "divine decree", there was obviously a teasing tone, but her tone and actions were clearly full of provocation and temptation, making Ah Mon's ears and half his body feel itchy.

  Just then, the suddenly reappeared Perlanrose looked at Amun with a smile that was not quite a smile and said: "Young mortal, I want to remind you of one thing, the goddess Muyun has her own inevitable fate wheel, whether you believe it or not, look at the final destination of those men who were loved by her!

  Let's not mention anything else, a few years ago she pursued Gilgamesh but was rejected, I think you know why. But Enkidu took a liking to her and has been wanting to pursue this goddess of youth and love. Think about what would happen if you were to face Enkidu, thank you for your advice, so here's some advice for you."

  After finishing her speech, the goddess Pelan Rose disappeared again. Amun couldn't help but feel a bit tense in his body, Yin Nana was indeed not an easy person to deal with, he hadn't done anything and yet had somehow managed to provoke En Qi, the greatest warrior on the continent. He remembered that last time in the outskirts of Uruk City-State, En Qi had personally told him that if they met again, he might just kill him, his tone didn't sound like a joke at all.

  Yin Nanna keenly sensed Ah Mon's subtle changes, she let go of his hand and looked at him with a faint smile: "Ah Mon, are you afraid of En Qi? No matter how strong he is, he can't be the opponent of the gods, I am your guardian angel."

  Amun shook his head and said, "It's pointless to talk about being afraid. I've even been to the underworld before, let alone a warrior like him. Even if I'm not his opponent, what can he do? It's his right to choose who he likes, there's no grudge between us, nor do I intend to provoke him."

  Yin Nanna showed a pitiful expression and said: "Then are you afraid of me?"

  Amun shook his head again: "I've never been afraid of you, when we first met, I mistakenly thought you were a shepherdess slave, took me to an unfamiliar town, and gave me the best-tasting pastry in the world. I just wanted to help you."

  Yin Nanna smiled again: "You still thought I was Princess Xiao Yan, and so many people went to rescue me together, but in the end, you were all fooled by Princess Xiao Yan."

  Amun also smiled: "After that incident, I finally knew who you were and was very grateful that you agreed to my request and took me to the underworld to bid farewell to Father's soul. You did it, and I will keep my promise to repay you with all my might. I forgot to tell you that I found the descendants of Du Ke Town in Egu Hei Mountain and stayed there for a long time, why didn't I hear from you?"

  Yin Nanna gently stroked his hand with her fingers and said, "That's the Eju Nine United Divine Realm. I went there a bit inconveniently, let alone you hiding in the Isis Temple all the time, making it even harder for me to find you...I also want to thank you, it was you who brought people back to Du Ke Town, so I can return here smoothly and look forward to rebuilding my divine realm."

  "Is it because I've returned that you can return too? Do you have any other business here today besides trying to persuade Goddess Perlanrose?"

  Yin Nanna pouted with her cherry lips, looking at him: "You really have a way, leading the cave-dwelling savage tribe to build a city first. But haven't you forgotten something? You promised me that you would guide them to rebuild my temple."

  Amun smiled: "Yin Nana, rebuilding the temple is no problem. It's just a grand and magnificent hall and courtyard. When I have time, I can build it with one command. Although I am not a god, I vaguely know that the temple does not mean the divine domain. The original Du Ke town also had Horus' temple, which was only a royal order to show obedience, but no one truly believed in or worshiped him. Those cave-dwelling savages hadn't even heard of the goddess Mu Yun, and you didn't give them real help or protection. Even if I built the temple, they probably wouldn't have heartfelt faith and wouldn't understand the true spirit of the divine name."

  Yin Nanna waved his arm, with an expression like a spoiled little girl: "I know these better than you do. I heard the news of Pelan Rose coming to find you on the Assyrian Plateau and rushed over immediately. It's not just for the sake of this goddess, but also for our own affairs. As a god, I want to show the people returning to Du Ke Town a miracle, and give them a gift, which is the beginning of my rebuilding the divine domain."

  Amon asked in some surprise: "What miracle are you going to display and what gift will you give to the Cave Dwellers' tribe?"

  "Wealth, wondrous and surprising wealth! The only relic of the town of Douke is the foundation of my temple buried deep underground, where there is a hidden cellar with a magical array set up by me. For hundreds of years, every chief priest would receive my guidance before his death on how to let his soul escape the shackles of the underworld after his death. They would also offer a batch of precious divine stones to the most secret cellar, which can only be put in but not taken out, and Dasiti is the only exception, so he doesn't know about it either. I will descend with an oracle, guiding those who arrive there to dig up the cellar and hold a ceremony to sacrifice to me before they can open that cellar."

  Amun said thoughtfully, "This is a good idea, it seems you've been prepared for this, but in this desolate wilderness isolated from the world, wealth doesn't mean much, and even with money, there's nothing to buy."

  Yin Nanna smiled: "Who says that wealth is not important? They can't be isolated from the world forever, and this place will soon become a land of opportunity. The first to arrive will be countless adventurers, mostly coming for the pursuit of mysterious and unknown wealth. With such an astonishing secret wealth in hand, one can hire wandering warriors, recruit craftsmen from all over the continent, and even have merchant teams deliver endless supplies. Otherwise, relying on just a few hundred people's hard work, when can they establish a magnificent city-state?"

  "Let's use this wealth gradually," Amun said thoughtfully, "we can't let everyone know about it all at once, or we might attract robbers and thieves."

  Yin Nanna smiled: "With a great magician like you in the portable space device, what thief can steal it? This is the wealth given by the gods to their followers to help them build their homes and countries. If anyone dares to come and plunder, it would be an offense against me. I don't mind directly punishing them, but it's still better to be careful."

  Amun thought for a moment and asked, "Yin Nana, you actually have so much private money! According to your words, is the wealth presented by each successive Lord God also the legacy of the later generations of Du Ke Town?"

  Yin Nanna shook her head and smiled, "Whether it is or not, they have already been offered to the gods. That's what belongs to me, I will use it to rebuild the divine domain. For those who live here, it means rebuilding their home. The descendants of Duoke Town will also live in this homeland, won't they? Human wealth has both meaning and no meaning for the gods, and that's why."

  "Alright, let's do it this way, it will be beneficial for everyone and as you wish."

  Yoon Na-na's body leaned in again, embracing Ah-mon's arm and said intimately: "Ah-mon, I still have a surprise for you."

  Amon looked at him in surprise and said, "What surprise? You've already done a lot. Actually, I don't have any more extravagant hopes."

  Yin Nanna: "When I arrived here, I just saw you leave those cave dwellers, including that warrior named Maidanzo. They all call you Amun God and show great respect from the heart, it seems that what you have done for them is more than the real gods. If so, in my temple in the future, we can also worship your statue together and accept sacrifices."

  Amun jumped in fright: "How is this possible? I'm not a god!"

  Yin Nanna's smile was a bit mysterious: "Many of the gods in this world, when they first accepted people's sacrifices, were not really gods, but just heroes among humans."

  Amon's expression turned serious: "Yin Nanna, are you trying to tell me that a mortal can also become a god?" He finally asked the question that the old madman had wanted to prove his whole life, and looked forward to the real answer.

  "This riddle that had been puzzling people for their entire lives was actually solved so easily. Yoon Na-na leaned her cheek against Ah-mon's shoulder and whispered, 'Yes, mortals can also become gods. This is a secret, you mustn't spread it around, or else you'll be ostracized by all the gods.'"

  Amun furrowed his brow: "The hostility of the gods? But you told me."

  Yin Nanna lifted her head and gazed at him with deep affection: "Because you have the opportunity to obtain this qualification, I will have the possibility of introducing you into the Anunaqi God System. But whether you can pass through the heavy trials is still up to yourself. You are a miner from Du Ke Town, not only a great magician, but also a sixth-level warrior at such a young age, and should have hope."

  The answer to becoming a god lies before your eyes, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly. Although Ah Mon had already figured out the path to divinity in his mind, he still hadn't explored and verified the road ahead. Having a god's guidance was the most convenient thing. He coughed once and asked again: "So what do I need to do to become a true god?"

  Yin Nanna gently pushed him on the chest: "My Ah Mon, don't worry, these are all things for the future. To gain qualification to join a certain divine system, to know how to become a divine spirit, you need to get the recognition of the divine system and make an oath, until that day I can tell you."

  Then she blinked her eyes playfully and said, "Amon, if that day really comes, it will be me who brings you into the Anunaqi God System. Who knows, maybe in human legend, it will be passed down that you are my son or husband."

  Amun's back tightened again, and he couldn't help but think of Yin Nanna's "ex-husband" who was still lurking in the underworld. Subconsciously, he rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly: "I more or less understand the relationship between gods now, human myths are just performed in a way that people can understand."

  Yin Nanna seemed to know what he was thinking, and reached out to gently stroke his chest: "My Ahmon, just now when I heard Perlan Rose talk about my reincarnation fate, I look forward to you helping me break this curse, so that I can become the true goddess of youth and love. Then, you will also gain the secret to becoming a divine spirit."

  Her hand was on his chest, and her entire being exuded an indescribable gentle charm. However, for Amun, the greatest temptation that was truly irresistible to humans was not wealth or beauty, but the secret of becoming a divine spirit, which had been his long-standing goal and the mystery he had been expecting to unravel.

  Amun grasped Yun Nana's hand, calmed down and said softly: "What do you want me to do?"

  Yin Nanna murmured, "You're already doing it. As long as you can help me rebuild this divine domain, you'll be qualified to enter the Anunaqi God System. At that time, just face the gods and make a vow, obtain the secret of becoming a god spirit, and in the temple, accept the sacrifices of the world with me. I infinitely look forward to this beautiful future, which is also my liberation and transcendence."

  Amun grasped her hand and said, "Although I don't quite understand what you mean by liberation and transcendence, I'll do my best to help you. If that day really comes, but I couldn't make the vow I didn't want to make, I also hope you can understand."

  Yin Nanna gently bumped her head against his shoulder: "When you see the hope of eternal life, no one will refuse. It's too early to talk about these things now, and you'll understand when the time comes."
