Ereshkigal did not know this.
She only knew that the serious Sousa now had many similarities with herself in some aspects.
So, every day he watched Susa digging quietly.
After thinking for a while, he flew to Susa and said, "Do you want to take a break? According to my feeling, we are still a long way from the earth. Even if we continue, it will take a long time.
Although I can make the underworld and the mortal world merge into one once you reach the mortal world, the road ahead is difficult and you need to rest."
Ereshkigal dissuaded him.
It's not that Ereshkigal didn't want to help Susa accomplish this.
Rather, it is not logical or practical for Ereshkigal to do this.
The mistress of Hades wants to tear Hades apart.
It was a strange thing no matter how you thought about it, especially since Ereshkigal's duty was to guard the underworld.
Therefore, when there is a conflict between authority and behavior, everything will be based on the former.
After all, in a sense, the bad elements of the gods in the Age of Gods all lie in power and responsibility.
So she could only watch Susa take action.
"It's ok."
Susa shook his head and said, "Just keep digging upwards. One day you'll be able to get out. I'm ready."
That's what villains are like.
You always need to put in more effort to get closer to your goal.
Fortunately, Susa had prepared himself well. He did almost all the mechanized labor every day, constantly searching for a way out of the underworld.
Fortunately, even in the underworld, Susa still maintained his divine status, so even if he had to work hard, his soul would not be unable to bear it.
Just take a break within the appropriate range.
Then abandon all thoughts and just keep digging upwards.
Ereshkigal saw all this.
But there is no good way to help Sousa be lazy.
So he could only summon some cold wind from the underworld to help Sousa cool down and relieve the fatigue of work.
For Ereshkigal, in the summer on earth, people who worked too hard often died from the heat during the day, and even in the underworld, their souls would give people a warm feeling.
Therefore, faced with heavy physical labor, Ereshkigal could only help Susa do these things.
But this was also because Ereshkigal did not see Susa's soul swaying in the wind.
Perhaps, the soul will not get heatstroke, but it will be blown away...
Susa would not refuse Ereshkigal's kindness, but could only seriously maintain the cohesion of his soul.
So that you won't be scared to death by the cold wind of the underworld while in this place of the underworld.
"Then come on!"
Ereshkigal said to Susa, "I hope you can dig into the mortal world as soon as possible. That way, no matter what it is, I can always do something."
"Okay, got it, Ereshkigal!"
Susa responded solemnly: "If I need anything I will ask you for help, but thank you too."
"It's ok."
……
……
……
I don’t know how many years I have spent in this world.
In this desolate land, the once prosperous traffic came to an abrupt halt.
Everything seemed to have come to a standstill.
There is not much to be gained from people's development.
The once prosperous business trade was destroyed overnight.
And more importantly, the god Susa that people still expected did not appear.
People can only pray for Susa to appear with faith and action.
During this period, the old priest also passed away and returned to the underworld.
Although there are many capable people among the remaining people, they are faced with such a large piece of land.
It might be too difficult for people who originally lived in small city-states.
It will also take some time to reorganize people's production.
Even if there is faith, there will always be some loopholes.
And the most fatal thing is not this matter, but...
The gods...
Resurrected!
Walking in the world again, I began to absorb my own beliefs.
Chapter 92: The Desperate Land and the Vengeful Savior
In the mortal world.
The once fertile farmland has gradually become deserted.
The road used to be overgrown with weeds.
I don't know how many people are walking in it.
Originally there was an extremely wide main road between the city-states, which was a gift left to Susa.
It is not only for the purpose of enabling the various city-states to communicate with each other, but also because with roads, people's transportation will be much more convenient, and the ease of both technology and trade will be improved.
This is just like the great powers building railways for their colonies. What it represents is not just convenient transportation, but also the need to encompass all corners and safeguard their own development.
Otherwise, it is not actually a useful project.
The same is true in this era. The broad roads that have been established exist for the purpose of development after the unification of the world.
People expect that such roads can promote more development.
At the same time, after Susa is resurrected, no matter where he appears, he can use this broad road to find Salvia and his direction.
This is also the origin of the folk saying that all roads lead to Salvia.
Even if there are no merchants passing by on weekdays, there will be pilgrims taking the main road to Salvia or the Holy Mountain for pilgrimage.
With the help of soldiers from various city-states clearing the road, it would not be so desolate anyway.
But now, the land that had been roasted several times before and trampled on still grew weeds.
Even though it still seems out of place with the wild land next to it, you can still notice the difference at a glance.
It is unknown how long it has been since anyone used it, or perhaps only occasional use has kept the land in its current state.
Even so, apart from telling people that there is a road, there is no sign of the previous prosperous scene.
What’s worse, the holy mountain that was once worshiped by tens of thousands of people has turned into a wild mountain that no one cares about.
To be more precise, it is not that no one cares about it, but that people no longer set foot in this forest, so even the once most magnificent temple at the top has become dilapidated.
There was even thunder striking the temple on the top of the mountain day and night.
But for some reason, although this temple is in a dilapidated state, it has withstood the test and has never collapsed.
"This holy mountain is the incarnation of the wise man among our ancestors. The temple on it was built by our ancestors to commemorate and revive them. Of course, many people believe that our wise man and saint is now on the top of the mountain, bound by the gods, tortured by thunder and eroded by vultures.
As a result of the equality he once fought for us, and the spark of wisdom.
This is a story from many years ago."
Before the class, the teacher and the children explained various mythological stories.
Especially when it comes to this part of the plot, a look of longing can't help but appear on my face.
The other stories generally have little to do with humans, and they tell people about the love, hate, and vengeance between gods, as well as deception or punishment of humans.
This is the only part of the story that is closely related to people, because it is a story about mortals, a story of defying gods.
To this day, it is still sung by people in hidden corners.
But few people know the names of the wise men of the past, or even Uruk, the last stronghold of mankind without divine interference.
The wise king Gilgamesh, who was also the god of Uruk, along with Ishtar, did not forbid people from talking about this matter.
However, as time went by, and the entire era regarded this name as a taboo, gradually, this name was forgotten.
The story related to this is about the wise king Gilgamesh who was looking for the herb of immortality for his friend. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally swallowed the herb of immortality in exchange for Uruk's long-term independence.
Otherwise, even with Ishtar's presence, Uruk would have fallen into decline.
But the friend's name is still a [taboo] that makes it impossible to explore.
This name is still widely circulated today, probably because of the city-state of Salvia that has been abandoned by the gods.
I heard that the people gathered there now are races cursed by the gods and the former savages.
They were all diehards of a certain sect in the past. Even though they have been abandoned by the gods and cannot even communicate normally with other city-states, they are still living in their own way.
In the stories they told, one day the great king of the old creatures would return from the Holy Mountain or from the underworld to end all suffering.
Therefore, people need to maintain their lives in their own way, strive to survive, and even fight against arrogant gods.
Therefore, after the gods had abandoned them and there was no god to protect them, they established some wonderful organization, but the name is unknown.
But it seems that what he is doing is studying some of the ideas of the old monarch, such as machinery, blueprints, etc.
I don't know if there will really be any results.
The reason why I know this is because the teacher who is telling the story is from Uruk.
Besides, these stories would be regarded as idiotic dreams even in the wilderness.
After all, people didn't believe that the gods could be defeated by a mortal.
I don’t think that the suffering I am going through now will ever come to an end.
Young children, hearing such stories, will regard the old king as the embodiment of light, hope and justice, but mature adults will ignore all the suffering and will just treat it as a foolish dream.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
The gods have revived.
Has also returned.
When they returned to this world, the legendary contract had become invalid.
They even used the power of participation to divide the land into different parts according to the format of the previous contract.
In the past, the land of one or several city-states was governed by a specific god.
However, this kind of jurisdiction is not of the nature of the "city guardian god" before the contract, but the entire city-state and this land need to be operated according to the preferences and authority of the gods.
Some gods like freedom, some gods like money, some gods like justice, and some gods like craftsmen...
Therefore, in the land they govern, people need to constantly demonstrate a certain existence as a gift to the gods and to please them.
Some gods even like suffering and war, so the city-states under their jurisdiction need to fight constantly to prove themselves.
Hope, future...
Everything looks empty, because the only people we serve are the gods.
Replace people's future with the ideas of gods.
“It’s worth mentioning, by the way.”
The teacher explained this and said, "An interesting point is that although Salvia is not governed by gods, the gods still go there to tell about the protection of gods."
