The Reiki Era of the Powerful

Chapter 279 The King and His Subjects 1
Surr VI died.

The powerful pharaoh died at the age of 36, from a bacterial infection caused by his injuries.

The omnipotent spiritual power does not seem to bring a longer lifespan to the practitioners, because nature is fair.

Under the high spirit environment, humans are evolving, beasts are evolving, and microorganisms are also evolving.

Before his death, Surr VI went to the border once to condolences to the soldiers on the front line, but unfortunately, a stray arrow fell from the sky and pierced his thigh.

The accompanying high priest healed his trauma with magic, but a month after the wound healed, the pharaoh suddenly went into convulsions and died.

The thing that killed him was named Clostridium tetani in later generations, but in that era, even the supernatural beings could not find out the cause of Su Er VI's death, so they had no choice but to send him to the temple.

Surr VII, 15, watched his father's farewell ceremony.

He saw the priests cut open his father's chest and abdomen, took out the heart, liver, kidney and other body organs, processed them with lime and hay, put them into clay pots filled with honey, and painted complicated and delicate embalming symbols on the pots arts.

After putting the clay pots containing the organs back into the abdominal cavity, they proceeded to process the father's body, also using lime, hay, sackcloth and honey, and finally sealed the finished mummy completely in the golden coffin .

"Mother." Su Er VII asked his mother, "What are they doing?"

His mother caressed his hair: "For his corpse to never rot, for his resurrection."

"Resurrection?" Su Er VII was puzzled.

So his mother took him, along with the coffin, from the autumn of the first year to the winter of the second year, all over Ancient Nile.

In the ancient Nile, the death of a pharaoh seemed to be an extremely sad and extremely sacred event.

The priests will quickly hold a farewell ceremony for the pharaoh, but they will not bury him so quickly. Instead, the high priest will take the sealed coffin across the country.

Every time the pharaoh's remains arrived in a city-state, people from all over the city would come to pay their respects, whether it was the Nile, Turshlin, Yanting, Manlacher, or Guti tribes...

They knelt in front of the coffin of Su Er VI, holding the lamp of the dead, weeping, wailing, and praying. The pious even knelt from dawn to dusk, and the priests never urged them, and always waited for everyone who was willing to see them off After leaving, he got up and went to the next city.

They stopped and went, walked for a whole year, and traveled all over the Nile.

In the mourning of the whole country, Su Er VII seemed to understand a lot, but also seemed to understand nothing.

In the early winter of the second year, the remains of Surr VI finally returned to the royal city, and were sent to the mausoleum in a grand funeral.

"Will father really come back?" Su Er VII asked.

"Yes," said the mother softly. "When we need it, when Nero needs it, he will come back and fight for Nero."

In that year, the 16-year-old Surr VII ascended to the vacant throne and became the new generation of Pharaoh of Ancient Nero.

He was determined to forge ahead all his life, and he distinguished between rewards and punishments. He resisted the invasion of beasts three times externally, and compiled a new law code internally. However, if these achievements are placed in the long river of history, he is just an ordinary emperor, mediocre and useless. No fault.

At the age of 49, he died from an accidental fall.

After his death, like his father, his remains were sealed in a golden coffin, traveled all over the country, and finally returned to the mausoleum.

In the dark tomb, a newborn spirit opened its eyes.

……

"So that's how it is." Yan Luge vaguely understood, "No wonder I couldn't find Gu Nile's core transcendent inheritance, because they didn't have it in the first place.

"Even for the most powerful Niloticians among all the city-state tribes, the most they left behind are the practice books that have been cultivated to the fifth or sixth level.

"Because they are different...the extraordinary path of the Niloticians begins after death."

……

With the remains of Sul VII as the core and guided by the prayers of the people of Ancient Nile, the newborn spirits opened their eyes in the dark tomb.

This spirit was only taken out of the tomb by the Jin family in later generations, and the spirit called "Pharaoh" by some people was no different from other spirits.

It has all the memories of "Sur VII", but it knows that it is dead.Human remains were contained in a coffin that is now part of it.Also, there seems to be other parts, but even it's not clear to itself...

In short, after waking up, it did what a corpse should do—it lay obediently in the tomb without doing anything.

It doesn't feel lonely, it doesn't have the concept of loneliness; it doesn't feel sad, it doesn't have the emotion of being sad; it doesn't want to return to the throne, it doesn't have such a thing as ambition.

Even when it was already traveling the country and obtaining the prayers of all people, it became the most powerful ninth-order extraordinary life on Seablue Star.

But it still does nothing.

This is spirits.

What the Invoker wants it to be, so it is...something.

It lay quietly in the tomb for a year.

Until the second year of the death of Surr VII, the war broke out.

In the empty tomb, the spirits heard voices for the first time.

"Pharaoh, please save us, please save your subjects..."

"The Transcendents from the enemy country are here! They want to kill us! They want to massacre the city! They want to take everything from us! Our troops are no match for them!"

"Who will save us... who will..."

"We have a date. We have a date, don't we?"

Immediately after, there was the words read from the mouth of the priest, the long, thousand-word "Book of the Dead" written on papyrus.

"...you are the guide of yesterday, today and tomorrow, you are the master of life, death and eternity..."

"...you are the protector, the guardian and the ruler, you are the pioneer, the adventurer and the enlightener..."

"...the years turn for you in the continuous past, moving gloriously to the end of time..."

In that instant, the elves realized what they had to do.

So it got up, pushed open the tomb, faced the radiant sun, faced the deeply prostrate body of the high priest, and faced the wild cheers of all the people, left the tomb and went to the battlefield.

Beside the mausoleum, on the grassland, in the desert, and on the battlefield, it saw the father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and ancestor of "Sur VII"...they were all there, and every generation of pharaohs was there, They are always there.

There are also many "people" it knows or doesn't know. They are not as powerful as the spirits transformed by the Pharaoh, but they are also active in the front line of the war... They may have been nobles, priests, and patriarchs with high status before they were alive.

It fights alongside them.

They repelled the powerful enemy's invasion again and again, and won one war after another.

With a fearless and fearless spiritual body, he killed the supernatural beings in the neighboring countries and never dared to covet Nile again; he killed the fear of the hostile tribes and gave up the lush grassland; Trembling, I am willing to put on chains and guard the tomb from now on.

After each war ended, they silently returned to the tomb, quietly waiting for the next call and recovery.

Coffins were broken in battle, and they never flinched; spirits died in war, and they never flinched.

When they enjoy the support of all peoples, they are not lingering; when they are in eternal silence, they are not lost.

Because that's what they're supposed to do.

During his lifetime, he had the power to enjoy the glory and wealth, and after his death, he protected a country and fought for Nile forever.

——This is the first and last contract between the Pharaoh and his subjects.
