Inside the First Conference Room of Xiong Country.

The senior leaders of the Bear Country, the Bear Country Think Tank, and Veles, Simona and Gilgamesh gathered together for a highly confidential meeting.

At the meeting, the top executive of Xiongguo No. 1 said solemnly, "According to the information from Kyushu, a disaster originating from the ocean is brewing and will sweep the world in the near future."

"By then, we don't know whether there will be monsters that the technological side cannot deal with."

"There has been little progress in the research on the Beelzebub virus. It would be difficult to replicate the glory of mankind in the disaster era of the parallel world."

"As for the talent awakening potion, although great progress has been made, it will take a while to go through a series of experiments before it can be truly put into use."

"No one knows what will happen during this period."

"So, we must take precautions in advance and be prepared to deal with the coming disaster."

With that said, the top brass of Bear Country No. 1 looked at Gilgamesh and Simona and solemnly said, "After careful discussions with members of the think tank, we plan to build a Shinto academy and a temple for the goddess Ishtar in Bear Country."

.”

"I hope you two can serve as the first dean of the Shinto Academy and the first chief priest of the Ishtar Temple."

After returning to the present world from Babylon, the top leaders of the Bear Kingdom learned about the battle between Uruk and Babylon between humans and gods from Veles, Gilgamesh and Simona.

At the same time, the top leaders of the Bear Kingdom also learned about the cultivation methods of humans during the Uruk period.

During the Uruk period, human cultivation methods were roughly divided into three types.

The first is to rely on oneself to practice hard.

The second is to practice with the help of divine power.

The third way is to gain the approval of God, become God’s messenger, and reach heaven in one step.

For example, Gilgamesh chose the first method of cultivation from the very beginning.

However, Gilgamesh has an innate advantage that others do not have, even though he has two-thirds of the blood of God in his body.

With this two-thirds of the blood of God, Gilgamesh was extraordinary from birth, and his subsequent cultivation went smoothly with almost no obstacles.

During the war between humans and gods in Uruk, Gilgamesh, whose power had been stuck at the fifth level of the extraordinary for a long time, realized the weakness of his power. Finally, with the help of the divine power of the Venus goddess Ishtar, he broke through again and reached the extraordinary tenth level.

levels of horror.

It's a pity that the tenth level of extraordinary power is still vulnerable to the myth.

However, if an ordinary person does not have a special bloodline, it is extremely difficult, even impossible, to rely on one's own hard work to break through the barriers of the extraordinary and achieve extraordinary results.

Therefore, most of the extraordinary beings during the Uruk period chose the second method of cultivation and practiced with the help of divine power.

Generally speaking, this method requires the cultivator to believe in gods. The deeper the belief, the more divine power can be used.

Of course, if like Gilgamesh, you are favored by the gods, you don't need to contribute your own faith.

As for the third method of cultivation, it was Siduri, the former high priest of Ishtar, which is also the method of cultivation of Simona now.

This kind of cultivation method first needs to be recognized by the gods, and secondly, it needs to contribute one's own beliefs, so as to become the messenger of gods and serve the gods with all their heart.

Once you become a messenger of God, you can directly obtain extraordinary power, and you can reach heaven in one step without going through hard training.

For example, Simone gained the power of words after becoming a messenger of God.

The essence of this power is to use words as a medium to embody the divine power of the Venus goddess Ishtar into the specific power described in words.

Gilgamesh once said that this kind of power may seem powerful and omnipotent, but after all, this kind of power is borrowed power, and the power that mortals can exert is limited.

What's more, there are some facts that even the gods cannot change.

Moreover, this power has a big limit.

That is, if you want to exert this kind of power, you must be within the range that the divine power of the god you serve can radiate. It can be regarded as being within the realm of the god.

Of course, the abilities granted by gods with different powers will also be different.

After returning to the human world, Simone was tested and went to areas where the goddess Ishtar was still believed, and found that she could still use the power of words.

In Simone's opinion, this means that the goddess Ishtar has not died during these long years. Although she does not know which world she is in, her divine power still shines on this world.

The reason for this is probably because mankind's belief in the goddess Ishtar has never been interrupted.

Human faith has become the hub of connection with the divine power of the goddess Ishtar.

Now, the Xiong Kingdom has decided to establish a Shinto Academy and Ishtar Temple within its territory.

This means that the Bear Country will enter the era of belief in Ishtar and will be included in Ishtar's divine territory.

Doing so will most likely turn the Bear Country into a theocratic country.

Even in the future, the Bear Country may become an anchor, leading the way to the advent of Ishtar.

Opportunities and risks coexist in this, and the top leaders of Xiong Country are also very aware of this.

Simply think about it, if something happens to Ishtar and she becomes an evil god like Marduk, then the battle between humans and gods in Babylon will be repeated in this world.

As for whether Ishtar will become the second Marduk, even Gilgamesh, who is most familiar with Ishtar, is not sure.

Because humans cannot figure out the thoughts of gods anyway, and what they see is always the surface of gods, or what the gods want humans to see.

Gods cannot be looked at directly or described. This is an iron law and a taboo.

Any human who tries to touch this taboo will often end badly.

Unless humans themselves are strong enough to look directly at gods.

It's just like...

It can be said that Xiong Guo is making a huge gamble. If it doesn't succeed, it will be benevolent.

Previously, Xiongguo also hesitated to make a decision because it was aware of the risks involved.

Now, forced by circumstances, coupled with the fact that Xiong Country’s senior officials and think tanks believe that the probability of success is greater than Cheng Ren’s.

That's why I took this huge gamble.

In the end, Gilgamesh and Simona agreed to the request of the top leaders of the Bear Kingdom and wanted to contribute their share to the human race in the world.

After the decision was made, the senior officials of the Xiong Kingdom acted resolutely and issued a series of orders related to the Shinto Academy and the Ishtar Temple, and then held a press conference.

At the same time, somewhere in an unknown space, Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the location of Xiong Country through infinite time and space, and said faintly, "The judgment made by human beings' self-understanding"

..."

"Ishtar born of faith..."
