From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Erich respectfully asked God Tut about the gate of hell.

"The gates of hell are what Hittites and Babylon are called."

Tut is worthy of being the god of knowledge and wisdom, and he can talk like a teacher standing in a lecture hall.

"In Egypt, we don't have a concept of hell."

"This symbol is not so much the gate of hell, but rather the gate of the underworld. When Atum, the oldest creator, was still alive. Because he is also the authority of the underworld, this symbol is also one of the symbols representing him."

Erich thought of Ymir's words, and suddenly realized.

"In Egypt, as long as people can successfully enter the underworld, it means eternal life. Do you know why?"

Erich knew it was Tut's mantra, an occupational disease.She smiled in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be attentively listening to the lecture, listening to the god with the head of a heron explain the difference between the two places in this concept.

"In the concept of the Egyptians, the underworld and the living world are just two sides of the same thing."

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west."

"To the east of us is the sea, to the west is the desert."

"When Sirius rises, the big river will flood on time, bringing fertile soil and the next year's harvest to the downstream. At other times, it is as docile as the best lamb..."

"Then, naturally, where there is life, there is death, and where there is life, there is the underworld."

"We simply go from the living world to the underworld, where we continue our lives..."

Erich has a deeper understanding of the Egyptians' understanding of death from Tut's brief description.

"In Hittite and Babylon they thought there was a real hell."

Tutt's allusions to neighboring countries are also eloquent, and they are very rare.

"There is no grass in hell, and the cold wind is howling everywhere. People have no food to eat, and they will always suffer from hunger. Hell is the place they fear most—Alich, do you know what that is?"

Alixi was startled, and suddenly got inspiration, and blurted out: "Winter?"

Hittite and ancient Babylon are located in the Mesopotamian Plain. The big river flowing through the land does not flood regularly like the Nile, but is flooded or droughted irregularly. In addition, the climate is not as warm as Egypt and the seasons are like spring. The people there are very fond of The other world takes a more pessimistic view, portraying hell as their least favorite.

"Correct!"

"The winter they fear most becomes their hell."

"This is the difference between the gates of hell and the gates of the underworld in Egypt."

"Hittite hell was made up of fear and disgust, but here it is neutral."

"So you don't have to worry too much about your Hittite allies. Their gates of hell can be used, but they are not as good as here in Egypt. The underworld has accumulated huge energy for thousands of years. It is pure, upright, and does not mix any unnecessary emotions... It was the reason for liking Egypt in the first place.”

"This one……"

Alicia has mixed feelings about this.

Of course she felt relieved for Karsha.

But if she has the slightest mentality of being a dead friend and not a poor man, she will probably be very depressed at this moment.

"You mean to say that Yuanyuan didn't intend to destroy the Hittites. It did so only for me...to show me and force us to submit?"

So far, she has finally figured out the original plan, step by step, to let her and Senmut make their own choice, and jump into the trap they set up earlier.

Tut nodded happily, looking at Alicia as if seeing his most valued student.

"You understand quickly."

Alixi took a deep breath and asked again: "So, is it you who temporarily moved tens of thousands of people in the cities of Egypt to another world?"

Tut raised his eyes slyly, and the corners of his mouth rose triumphantly on either side of his beak.

"Have you forgotten my honorable name?"

Alixi clapped her hands immediately——

is not that right?A deity who holds the secret of undeath.

In this world, if there is a god that can make tens of thousands of civilians quietly avoid the release of energy that can destroy the city, apart from Tut and herself, Erich can't think of other gods.

At this point, a big stone in Alixi's heart completely fell to the ground.

She turned to another important question.

"Also, I want to ask you about Senmut's past."

When this question was asked, a blush suddenly appeared on Alicia's fair cheeks, making her face instantly radiant and beautiful.

Her eyes were bright, and she did not hide her affection for Senmut at all.Because her divinity does not conflict with those originally human emotions, what she firmly likes must be expressed unreservedly.

When Senmut's name was mentioned, God Tut's eyes became more gentle.

He coughed softly, and the wooden cabinet containing the papyrus rolls in the huge palace of knowledge behind him suddenly began to move up and down, and a cabinet on the top moved down quickly along an invisible track, and came to Erich, forming a The wood of the cabinet suddenly opened in all directions, and the papyrus rolls contained in it automatically came to Erich's hands, and slowly opened.

Alicia stood there, staring at the past events painted on the papyrus scroll.

But her thoughts, her heart, went directly to the papyrus scroll in front of her eyes, and she finally entered the memory of this child, and finally understood why he kept saying to herself: "I am a monster."

……

When these papyrus rolls were rolled up one after another, the frame of the wooden cabinet was closed again, and slowly retreated to its position, Erich, who was thinking, raised her head and thanked Tut.

It was hard for her to imagine that without Tut, Senmut, who had such a past and such a childhood, would have grown into the gentle, humble and loyal Senmut later.

"I want you to forgive me..."

Alice's voice choked up a bit.

If it weren't for her, Senmut's evasion would not be broken, and the young man with a secret past would still be the gentle and upright high priest. He would not deviate from God Tut's guidance, let alone become what he is today.

Tut let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alice, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"I'm actually very happy to see that he can become a greater existence, not just a dedicated follower."

"He has paid a lot for Egypt and will benefit more than one generation."

Erich thought back to the scene she saw in Upper and Lower Egypt a few days ago, and nodded silently.

"From the very beginning, I never interfered with his choice. The only thing I did was to change his childhood memory a little bit so that he would be surrounded by love and warmth. Even if this kind of love and warmth, It's just artificial and illusory."

When he said this, Tut's black heron eyes kept looking at Erich.

"I think this is the biggest difference between him and you."

Alixi bit her lower lip slightly, even though she was already a god, this small movement still brought her a slight sting.

Yes - once upon a time, her heart, which was as cold as an ice cave, was gradually warmed by Senmut.

Therefore, she never expected that Senmut's hidden past was more cruel and hurtful than hers.

"Everything he did, his pursuit and support of you, and his replacement of you to bear that terrible fate are all his own choices. I don't think he will ever regret it."

Alicia nodded emphatically.

From the first day she knew Senmut, she was willing to believe this——

Integrity and loyalty are the eternal background of this man.

"So, now, what can I do for him?"

Erich heard herself asking this question naturally.

It was the first time she put her private sensibilities above the interests of Egypt as a whole.

If the world is destined to be destroyed, then, at this moment, she is more willing to use her limited energy to do something for Senmut.

A quick laugh escaped Tut's throat.

"Yes, he needs you. With the two of you here, I believe that this country, this world, will be able to find a way to avoid the original gaze."

Brightness suddenly appeared in Ailixi's eyes, and she asked repeatedly: "The incarnation of profound knowledge and mystery, the great God Tut, what should I do to achieve this?"

There was another smile on the corner of Tut's mouth: "Alice, do you want to meet your subjects? Do you want to meet your old friends?"

This obviously refers to ordinary Egyptians who were hidden in the underworld by the god Tut in a special way.

Alicia nodded: "I think so."

"Then you must enter the underworld yourself."

"In other words, you are going to die."

"Then he will feel your death."

Erich raised her head slightly, imagining how Senmut would feel after she felt her own death.

"Don't underestimate your partner..." A strange look suddenly appeared in Tut's eyes, as if he was saying to Erich, and also seemed to be saying to some existence outside the pyramid, "Don't underestimate human nature."

"Alice, come here with your ear, I want to tell you an important secret about Senmut."

God Tut waved to Erich.

Alicia stepped forward according to her words, looked at God Tut's long beak, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to approach the corner of His mouth instead of the tip of the beak, letting Tut's voice reach her ears.

After a while, she opened her eyes and responded: "Thank you for your reminder, this is indeed very important."

She seemed to see hope suddenly, whether it was for Egypt or Senmut.

However, Tut's round black eyes suddenly turned, and the corners of his mouth revealed a strange smile again.

"But the premise is that you must really die."

He said, and then suddenly stretched out his hand, and his right hand seemed to become a bird claw with sharp fingertips, piercing into Erich's chest, and directly dragging out her beating heart.

Ailixi was not flustered, she opened her mouth slightly, as if a red sun gushed out of her mouth——

That's her sun authority.

She took it casually, filled the sun into the big hole in her chest, and then bowed to God Tut.

The big hole in her chest was immediately filled by the red sun, and her condition was normal.Even the pretty face is covered with a thin layer of orange-red luster.

She temporarily died as a human body, and she existed in the world as the sun god.

"Thank you for your guidance, Alicia."

Tut's right hand has returned to its original shape at this moment, and it is now supporting Erich's beating heart.

He also bowed to Elyse, and then offered the heart to Elyse with both hands.

"Great Erich, you are worthy of being the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt, the most merciful and decisive Lord God."

"Tuter is ashamed, but I didn't do anything for you."

"I hope you will retain the courage you have today. After all, you and I both know that what you will face in the future will be hardships and dangers that the world has never experienced before."

At this point, Tut bowed to Alicia to the end.

Alixie's body gradually floated up as Tut's voice fell.

She was flying rapidly upwards along this small but extremely high hall.

Countless scrolls of papyrus representing civilization flashed past her eyes, and then she entered the passage that only belonged to the soul.

God Tut's voice still echoed in her ears: "Forgive me for not being able to send you to the underworld with the mystery of immortality. You must pass the test of Ma'at like all people who really died..."

So Alicia looked up and saw a little light at the end of the passage.
