Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 371: Chapter 98 Hebrew_3

After much deliberation, feeling the bloodline essence that clashed with the world, Ra finally made his decision. Seated upon his throne, he looked toward the place where the marriage was to be held, and then he spoke out loud:

"Shu, come to me."

In the next moment, Ra's voice reached the ears of every deity in the world. All the deities heard the supreme God of Sun calling for Shu, and she immediately utilized her authority over wind and air, transforming into an invisible fluid as she rushed toward the Pantheon.

"Respected God of Sun, may I know your command?"

Stepping into the Pantheon and encountering the God of Sun who had just released his presence, Shu was filled with various conjectures.

Perhaps the Chaos Serpent had undergone some new change, or perhaps he intended to bestow blessings upon the newlyweds, both possibilities. Yet, the words that followed from Ra made her widen her eyes.

"Shu, go and convey my decree, let it be known to all gods and humans:"

"The firstborn of Isis is guilty, and she is guilty by association. After giving birth, she shall age like a mortal, and her offspring will do the same. But death is not the end of their sin; it shall stretch through their bloodline, never to cease for eternity."

High upon his throne, Ra calmly announced the death of a powerful deity and the birth of the Sinners.

"That sinner... his bloodline must not end, yet it should not prosper. His descendants shall suffer hardship, becoming servants to both the high and low of Egypt... From this moment until the end of time, this is my final judgement as Ra-Atum."

This was not a request, nor was there any room for negotiation, this was the authority of a supreme being in his world.

In the past, it was not unheard of for deities to defy Ra's will to some extent, but they all knew this was only because the God of Sun did not truly care about those trifles.

He might possess the fierce aspect of the Sun, yet he also had the gentleness of the great day, and often did not only employ his power to achieve his ends. Now, feeling the unreleased supreme authority of the other, Shu understood Ra's resolve and will regarding this matter.

'Who would have thought, a wedding about to be held would turn out like this... But why is this so?' she wondered.

With a sigh in her heart, yet at this moment, within the Pantheon, Shu still bowed her head slightly, performing a respectful salute to Ra.

"Supreme God of Sun, your will shall be carried out. Be it past or future, as long as the Sun rises as promised, this is the unbreakable divine word for gods and mortals alike."

An early arrival, an inexorable fate, a malevolent Sun... all these things consigned the descendant of the Divine King from Chaos to the status of Sinners overnight.

He should have been glorious and sacred, he could have been the sovereign of all Egypt, symbolizing the Victory of the Olympus divine lineage, symbolizing their defeating the Egyptian gods with the support of the world. But now, all such prospects had turned to dust, never again to come to fruition.

In this land wrapped in yellow sand, he was doomed to live here as a mortal. Devoid of the glory and status that a Demigod should have had, he would spend his life in mockery and pain instead.

Even though his fate had been altered, his bloodline was still destined to continue in Egypt forever. Since the supreme Ra needed this extraordinary bloodline before him, they had neither the possibility to leave nor a chance to be extinguished.

Of course, in this world where life existed only on the banks of the great river, there was nowhere for them to go anyway.

As the descendants of the Divine King's son were forsaken by the gods worshiped by the Egyptians, as they fell into servitude and slavery, they could only place their hope in those unfamiliar names—the diminishing and aging 'Isis,' who longed for a response from the unknown deities, even when she still lived and spoke their names, but never heard back.

As time flowed like water, generation after generation perished and another rose in succession. Gradually, these people struggling for survival on the banks of the Nile River had forgotten their past, forgotten their History. They did not know why they had been condemned, but the worship of these unknown deities became a part of their culture.

In ancient legends, their ancestors had traversed distances unimaginable to both gods and humans, coming from a land of milk and honey to the basin of the Nile River. They multiplied and suffered here, while their former home was beautifully peaceful and serene.

Thus, they called themselves 'Passers,' 'Transcenders,' in memory of their origins and in anticipation of a day in the future when they could return to their ancestral home along the road their ancestors had taken, to a bountiful land where they could live freely.

They adopted this as their name, replacing the term 'Sinners.' Gradually, even the local Egyptians began to refer to these god-forsaken people by this name. However, they did not recognize the so-called 'Passers' as such, nor did they accept their supposed ancestors and culture, so they simply took its transliteration as the name for the Sinners.

And the transliteration of 'Passers,' is called 'Hebrew.'
