Chapter 11 The Descendants of the Sun God

I saw that the man did not dance, but simply and neatly came on stage with great aura. He walked in front of the priests on the stage, put down his hands, and stood proudly, like the leader of the priests. Then he turned his face to the goddess, showing his sculptural appearance.

With a three-dimensional side face, he slowly extended an arm to the goddess, silently making a powerful invitation to her. His posture was so elegant, as if he was born a nobleman, without any rehearsal or performance elements, he was natural and unrestrained

neat!

Then all the singers sang:

Gilgamesh, King of Uruk,

May we build the most magnificent temple for the goddess Inanna!

Temple built of cedar,

Inlaid with precious stones and gold...

While singing, I saw that the "goddess" was finally moved. She turned around and walked towards the male priest, staring at him with a smile. The male priest also walked towards the goddess step by step.

Stopping just a short distance away, the most handsome young man and woman in Uruk looked at each other wordlessly. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

The crowd in the square burst into cheers like a huge wave.

"Oh! I know!" Zhang Chengyue suddenly realized, pointing at the man and saying: "That actor plays..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sansate rolled her eyes and interrupted him: "What actor? What kind of performance?!"

She pointed at the man fiercely and said: "He is Kubala's 'en' (priest leader), the king of Uruk, and the true god Gilgamesh in the eyes of the Uruk people!"

"Is that super handsome guy Gilgamesh?" Pengpeng was so shocked that Sansate almost fell down.

"Hey, what's so surprising!" Sansate said angrily, still unable to hide the proud look on her face, "Except for Gilgamesh, who is 'two-thirds a god', who else in the world is there?

Is there such a handsome person who is almost like a god?"

Pengpeng felt cheated and argued: "But you just said that the general was 'very handsome' and Gilgamesh was 'more handsome'. I thought Gilgamesh was a beast-like giant like the general!"

"

"I didn't say they look alike, they are different types of 'handsome'!" Sansatte said, sticking out her tongue.

Pengpeng turned to Zhang Chengyue and complained: "By the way! You also said that you have seen the ancient statue of Gilgamesh. It is a big bearded man with staring eyes, and he is holding a lion like a kitten!"

Zhang Chengyue scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "That is a statue from the Assyrian period. It may have been carved by the Assyrians based on the characteristics of the characters and the imagination of 'heroes' in that era. The style is a bit wrong!"

"Can it be more than a little off?!" Pengpeng said loudly.

Zhang Chengyue changed the topic and asked Sansate: "But they both have the blood of gods, so why do Gilgamesh and that general look so different? Height, skin color, hair color..."

"I don't know either. It is said that the appearance of demigods is very different. Gilgamesh has two-thirds of divine blood, so maybe his appearance is closer to that of a god!" Sansate said.

Pengpeng looked at the Sumerians around him. They were all black-haired, including Tara, who played the role of the goddess. She just applied gold powder on her hair and pretended to be blond. But Gilgamesh had fake hair.

Changed to brilliant blonde hair.

"Why does Gilgamesh have golden hair? Are all gods' hair colors golden?" Pengpeng asked.

Sansate thought for a while and said: "Not entirely. I heard from the older priests that some gods have snow-white hair and some have azure hair, but the sun god Utu's hair is indeed golden. Gilgamesh

They are the descendants of Utu, and of course they are also golden!"

"Descendants of the Sun God? Isn't the main god of Uruk Inanna?" Pengpeng felt strange.

Zhang Chengyue explained: "It's like this: the sun gods Utu and Inanna are twin brothers and sisters, and the gods also respect the male heir. Although Inanna is the main god of Uruk, the ruling class is a combination of Utu and human priests.

Descendants. Anyway, they are brothers and sisters, regardless of each other, they are all members of the same family!"

"Yes, you quite understand!" Sansa nodded.

Zhang Chengyue snickered in his heart, he learned all this knowledge from archeology books!

"Then Gilgamesh's skin will glow with a golden shimmer, like a god?" Pengpeng asked.

"Supposedly, yes." Sansa nodded.

"Wow, it feels great!" Pengpeng was speechless.

Although the beauty who played the goddess also had fair skin, she turned pale as soon as she stood next to Gilgamesh, as if she were made of clay. Now they finally understood why myths say that humans are made of clay and can glow.

The gods are incomparable!

Zhang Chengyue suddenly remembered that he had seen an ancient Egyptian mummy in the Metropolitan Museum of America. The Pharaoh's face was made of gold, and his eyebrows were painted with glaze. The explanation board read in English: "The ancient Egyptians believed that gold

Represents the skin of God.”

Looking at Tara again, she imitates God by coating her arms with gold powder. It seems that God’s skin is really close to the golden luster. It’s no wonder that people say that Gilgamesh is the person who most resembles God...

"Gilgamesh indeed has the blood of a god, and he deserves his reputation!" Pengpeng said excitedly, "And the image matches his nickname 'Golden Shining' perfectly!"

Zhang Chengyue smiled and shook his head and sighed: "I remembered that in "fate", Gilgamesh likes to call others 'bastards', but in fact he himself is an out-and-out bastard! He is just the noblest god and human being.

bastard."

At this time, the branches of the World Tree lit up a small section of gold, and the main trunk also lit up a small golden spot.

Zhang Chengyue asked the system in his mind: "Why are different parts of the World Tree lit up?"

[System]: "The branches represent information about humans, and the trunk represents information related to gods. Now that Gilgamesh's true existence has been confirmed, the branches are illuminated; and Gilgamesh, as a demigod who actually exists,

For the time being, it can be regarded as one of the evidences of 'the real existence of God', so the main part is illuminated."

"Why is the information about God placed in the main position? I remember that this tree represents the 'origin structure of human civilization'?"

[System]: "Yes, the system presupposes the hypothesis that 'God may be the promoter of the origin of human civilization', which needs to be confirmed."

"Do you think it is possible for a real god to exist in this era?"

[System]: "Yes. According to research, Sumer is most likely the Garden of Eden described in the "Old Testament Genesis", and it is also the golden age or silver age described in Greek mythology when humans and gods coexisted. And Gilgamesh is

A man with a deep connection to God.”

Zhang Chengyue's heart was beating loudly and he asked: "The main purpose of our mission is to find and confirm the existence of God and the influence of God on human civilization?

[System]: "Yes."

Sansate looked at the king on the high platform with admiration, and sighed: "That is the god of our country, we all love him to death!"

Zhang Chengyue also followed Sansate's gaze and watched Gilgamesh in a trance through the cheering crowd. He only heard Pengpeng say to him: "Fortunately, he is not a troll. Don't worry now!"

Zhang Chengyue murmured in reply: "Maybe it will be more difficult..."

At this time, intentionally or unintentionally, Gilgamesh's eyes passed through the jubilant crowd and focused on Sansate in the distance, where the two heads of the girl and the lion were cutely stacked up and down. Then,

He turned his attention to "Enkidu" next to him.

In an instant, Gilgamesh's eyes turned into a murderous scarlet color, like two pillars of light piercing through the human soul.

Pengpeng was locked by his gaze and was so frightened that he could not move and was out of his wits!

Since meeting Gilgamesh, an invisible force has revived in Enkidu's body. So he withstood the pressure and silently stared at the god-like Gilgamesh. Their eyes met and both wanted to

Thoroughly see through your opponent.

Just a few seconds later, Gilgamesh withdrew his gaze and turned to face the Sumerian girl who came to the stage to present him with flowers. His elegant smile returned to his face.

But these few seconds made Pengpeng feel as if he had been pressed down by a boulder for a long time, and he finally managed to breathe.

Pengpeng said in shock: "Lao... Lao Yue, did you see it just now? His pupils turned blood red! They were glowing red! It's terrible!"

"I saw it, it's so strange." Zhang Chengyue sighed, "...how can we explain this biologically?"

Pengpeng said: "Pink eye?...rabbit?"

Zhang Chengyue was speechless, and the system replied:
