Shepherding Humanity (Nurturing Humanity)

"Small civilized world, similar to ant-sized intelligent creatures."

Xu Zhi lowered his head and looked at the intelligent species that he had limited his body size and multiplied and evolved step by step.

Back then, the juvenile ape who was holding the young ape in his palm, standing on the top of the giant tree, holding the sword of Damocles and roaring at the sky, he was too late, and he was approaching the end of the years.

His ambitious youthful attitude, arrogant and arrogant, as if it was just yesterday. It was indeed two days ago.

Their seemingly long and endless years are only a short moment in my eyes.

"Gilgamesh, how have you been all these years?" Xu Zhi whispered, his voice penetrated the vast clouds and fell into the prosperous Uruk King City below, above the central palace.

Gilgamesh shuddered as he held the holy sword.

"Me. I'm doing fine."

His throat was dry and hoarse, and he looked up at the towering giant in the sky.

Even if it wasn't the first time I saw it, I was still moved by the magnificent scene. The vast giant of the 10,000-foot level penetrated the sky straight, and the torso seemed to hold up the whole world. A trace of pure white and holy light, unable to see the majesty, the eyes between the clouds are extremely deep.

The giant is overlooking the entire city of Uruk.

Majestic, great, solemn, sacred, no word in the world can describe that kind of shocking beauty!

"My God!"

"It actually exists!"

The tens of millions of people in the city, merchants in fine leather clothes, slaves in ragged clothes, women in noble dresses, commoners, craftsmen, put down their jobs, walked out of shops and houses, and stood on the streets, looking up. The vast giant that pierced the sky.

"In the legend, the wisdom species that bestowed our civilization, the behemoth of wisdom"

"A super giant with a height of 10,000 meters."

"What a great and vast life this is, comparable to the sun, moon and stars in the sky!"

They were all immersed in shock, their minds were blank, longing, fear, shock, and countless complex emotions intertwined, and finally turned into unparalleled admiration.

The surrounding palace ministers were also shocked, which made Gilgamesh laugh dumbfoundedly. He remembered the first time they met back then, and this was the same feeling of astonishment.

After being silent for a while, Gilgamesh raised his head and showed longing eyes, "Beast of wisdom, I have done the inheritance of civilization you handed over to me more than a hundred years ago."

Xu Zhi is like a giant who has traveled through the ancient times, with a mighty voice, piercing the clouds, and falling down on the Uruk King City below, "Your great achievements will be recorded in the Sumerian epic "Genesis" written by you, you will be The greatest first-generation king in the history of Sumerian civilization, the heroic king Gilgamesh, will compose a historical hymn for you in future generations."

"No, the glory of thousands of years after death, living in an epic passed down by word of mouth, that's not what I want." Gilgamem suddenly became very excited.

"Then what do you want?"

"I want to be like you, eternal life." Gilgamesh raised his head, looked at the towering giant, and was extremely eager, "I am willing to give up everything, I am willing to give everything, please give me the three treasures of eternal life. !"

Xu Zhi was silent for a while.

Gilgamesh, this king at this moment, has almost got everything in the world, glory, women, power, wealth, the world belongs to him, but he is still not satisfied.

Longevity, Xu Zhi also wants it! !

Xu Zhi is now terminally ill and on the verge of death at any time. He is very envious of Gilgamesh's magnificent life, which is like an epic life chapter.

"Gilgamesh, you are too greedy, I don't have the three treasures of longevity." Xu Zhi calmly looked at the aging king, "The birth, aging, sickness and death of species are the laws of nature, and I can't change them. "

At the end of life, everyone wants to live.

Xu Zhi seemed to be lamenting himself at this time.

Identity and status were wiped out at this moment, and the scale of countless civilizations was crossed. He and Gilgamesh were just two poor species waiting silently for their decline and fear of death.

Regardless of whether the emperor or the ants, after all, can not escape the loess and bones.

Xu Zhi suddenly wanted to say:

I am facing death just like you.

However, he didn't, just looked down at the royal city below with great emotion.

"no no."

Gilgamesh squeezed out his voice hoarsely, looking at the huge sacred face surrounded by clouds and mist in the sky, "No, you lied to me, you can do it, you can definitely do it!!"

His eyes were fiery, looking at Xu Zhi's sturdy young body as tall as a mountain range and as strong as a rock. He had grown old for more than two hundred years, but he had never left any trace on this great giant's body.

Time seemed to him like yesterday.

The behemoth of wisdom, as the most mysterious species of wisdom, in his opinion, is immortal.

"What a power this is, what a coveted long lifespan"

Gilgamesh's lips trembled, lowered his head, and suddenly raised his head, he couldn't help roaring: "Then you came in response to my call, are you here to witness my death? A humble and pitiful life, shivering. Die old."

"I'm here to see you off, and I don't have the ability to extend your lifespan. I'm also here for the second handover and warning of civilization." Xu Zhi sighed and said, "Your civilization is too brutal, and it wipes out the creatures around you. , Destroy the forest, slaughter giant beasts, the whole land is trampled by you, the real civilization is neither cruel nor barbaric, I ask you, stop your killing!"

"Stop, kill?"

Gilgamesh's burly body with white hair, but still strong, he suddenly trembled, his whole body trembled, his eyes seemed to be burning with a flame, more and more vigorous, burning fiercely,

The white-haired old man took a sudden step forward,

"No, the killing can't be stopped, and my footsteps can't be stopped either! Do you know that the sword of Damocles that you have given me over the years seems to hang high above my head , it has given me both great strength and unparalleled fear. And today, I will personally pull out the sword that hangs above my head!"

"Akad."

"The minister is here." The historian in charge of compiling the "Genesis" stepped forward.

"Write down the history of our civilization at this time, I said, you write." Gilgamesh's voice was decisive.

On the red desk, Akkad silently lifted the quill and spread out a roll of gray animal skin paper: "Your Majesty speak."

"The history of mankind's struggle against nature is the history of courage and hymn. My original intention of compiling "Genesis" is to leave history to future generations, and to let future generations understand the courage of our ancestors to fight against nature."

"Now, let history record my courage at this moment."

Gilgamesh took a heavy breath, his old body stabbed the sword of Damocles, smiled lowly, and explained:

"Genesis, in the 175th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, after killing the most powerful legendary beast in history, Finba, the heroic king Gilgamesh, who had sealed the sword for more than 100 years, made another move, using the power of the whole country, to seduce the wisdom above. The giant beast appears, and I want to swing the sword against it and kill the intelligent giant beast!"
