Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 668 - 233 Wind and Wilderness

In the material world, the lighter the object, the less strength it needs to be moved.

In the mystical world, the more powerful the object, the greater the force required to change it.

Seated upon the Primordial Water, the forces of Infinite Space and the Seven Layers of the Spirit Realm circled beside the two chess players. Under this enormous bulk, even space and time bent.

One month in the Mortal Realm was but a moment under the sky vault.

La’s order to Shu God to bring calamities seemed to have been given just a moment ago, right before him, as the hand of God had just reached out from beyond the world.

Yet in that instant, La’s face had become incredibly grim. His gaze was directed toward the realm of mortals, towards the hill outside the City of Memphis.

Separated by the Sea of Origin and the Mortal Realm, the other Nine Pillars Spirit’s perception of everything on earth had become much blurrier.

But they did not know what happened; in front of La, the divine power emanating from the Mortal Realm was all too familiar and clear.

Thousands of years ago, when that abrupt nightmare occurred, La, having received a warning from the world, had issued an order.

He executed a deity for the first time, and it was the only True God he had killed after devouring his predecessor, the Lord of the Sun Atum.

From that day on, no new life was born in the Mortal World for three years, and magicians ceased to exist on earth, but La did not regret it.

To eliminate a danger at its inception was a choice anyone would make; he only felt some regret because La always thought that Isis was the most talented and imaginative among the Nine Pillar Gods.

Perhaps magic and life could converge in her hands, shining even brighter, and perhaps break the limitations of the gods, possessing a might close to his own...

Then, on that day, Hemenu’s world would be more perfect under La’s rule, and finally, something would exist that could make him even stronger.

After all, although the deities of Egypt could devour each other’s divine authority, if it involved the strong consuming the weak, it would conversely diminish his godly power. Hence, La had never done anything similar after devouring Atum.

But now, what did he see?

"Isis, you dare betray me, betray this world?!"

"Even now, you have sided with the Outer Gods!"

La spoke each word deliberately, somewhat in disbelief.

Compared to the invasion of the Outer Realms, he found it even more unacceptable that someone dared to decide to betray him so long ago.

He admitted he had some undesirable thoughts, but not only had La never revealed them, he never put them into any form of action.

And yet, before he did anything, Isis had already chosen to betray him. After all, since she was still alive, it meant that the one who had died before was just a body double.

Undoubtedly, this proved that long before La received the world’s warning and decided to make a move against Isis, she had already prepared to fake her death and escape.

And right under his watch, La was completely unaware of it.

"...Isis, you had already encountered those of alien bloodlines!"

"Traitor!"

A low shout of anger echoed in the Void, causing ripples in the surrounding space. However, on the endless, silent surface of the water, there was no third presence to hear La’s furious outcry.

Only from a far distance, on the Mortal World, did Isis, seemingly sensing something, look up.

She heard no sound, but in that moment, she smiled as if she had anticipated this.

Not long ago, when she finally decided to intervene in this chess game, Isis had already prepared to be discovered.

It was highly likely that her divine aura could not evade the Lord of the Sun, and perhaps her former colleagues were now raging at her in the heavens, angry at her betrayal. But honestly, Isis did not think she had done anything wrong.

The outcome had proven that her choice was the correct one. When La found a destabilizing factor on someone, his first reaction was always to eliminate it. At that time, even if she had reported Io’s existence to La, she did not have confidence to sever the fate between herself and him.

When that time came, she would probably still inevitably face death. But as a deity, Isis did not want to sacrifice herself for La’s grand scheme and the world.

What is the grand scheme, who can survive to the end, who is the strongest, that is the grand scheme, a concept of which Isis was only too aware.

The struggle between La and his predecessor, the Lord of the Sun Atum, was just such an occasion. At the time of the transition of power of the sun, the Chaotic Serpent Apep, no longer restrained, had caused great damage to the world.

But did La give up then? Certainly not, and thus Isis did the same. If she couldn’t understand even that, she would probably have already become a casualty, the first sacrificial victim on the frontline of the contention between two worlds.

"Traitor!"

"It is Isis, she is still alive!"

Divided in twain, stationed in two places. La, bearing the names ’Atum’ and ’Amon’, was far above on the Primordial Water, but his solar aspect was ranked alongside the Nine Pillar Gods.

And at one end of the chessboard, seated upon the Great Sun Orb, compared to the self that bore ’Bai’, composed entirely of ’the residence of the solar authority’ known as ’Ka’, La, although equally angry, did not undergo such intense emotional fluctuations.

His expression turned solemn, La felt the gaze directed at him due to his reaction.

Isis’s presence had disrupted his steps, the prior probes could likely not continue.

Originally, La had planned to use the Nine Pillar Gods as pawns, gradually probing the methods of the Outer Gods while simultaneously weakening the power of the Hebrews, ultimately creating a solar collapse himself at any cost to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.
