Chapter 718: The Battle Between Two Factions
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Two Poles of Morning and Evening were in the central region, which was also known as Sand Sea because of the yellow sand that flew everywhere and got into people’s eyes.
With the sand hitting his face, Li Yunmu kept proceeding forward until he encountered the trademark of the Two Poles of Morning and Evening—Pyramids!
They were the fruits of intelligence of the people of Two Poles of Morning and Evening as well as altars for offering sacrifices to the sun G.o.d.
When Li Yunmu showed up, he immediately attracted the resentment of the natives. Pharaoh Atum showed up personally to block him.
“This is the Sand City! Have you mistakenly come to the wrong region? Are you from the Eastern Domain?”
Li Yunmu’s every movement resembled that of people from the Eastern Domain, so the Sand City’s Pharaoh Atum couldn’t help but place his origin there while frowning.
“I have come in order to see your G.o.ds!” Li Yunmu said calmly.
Pharaoh Atum’s complexion changed. Since when could anyone see the ancient G.o.ds of the Two Poles of Morning and Evening whenever they wanted? What exactly was the crazy person intending to do?
He had dubious origin and was being impudent, so Pharaoh Atum couldn’t be blamed for being impolite. He called out to the troops of Sand City, and many soldiers charged towards Li Yunmu while brandis.h.i.+ng their weapons. However, they only possessed the strength of sage flux experts.
In Li Yunmu’s eyes, regardless of their numbers, they were all just ants.
“I don’t want to injure your people. Be obedient and tell me where are your G.o.ds!” he said calmly.
Pharaoh Atum was still determined to battle. He was sure that the youth was only showing false bravado.
However, the instant the soldiers attacked Li Yunmu, the pharaoh was left dumbstruck.
Li Yunmu released an energy shockwave from his body, which forced the attacking soldiers to retreat. There was great disparity between the strength of the two sides. The soldiers were completely unable to get close to Li Yunmu and fell down like toppled mountains and overturned seas.
Pharaoh Atum was somewhat stupefied. The youth wasn’t an easy one to push around? Given his strength, he should already be a half step G.o.d at the least!
Without giving him enough time to think, Li Yunmu arrived in front of the pharaoh, and the man’s head filled with cold sweat.
“I will ask you again, where are the G.o.ds of Two Poles of Morning and Evening? Perhaps you can tell me the address of the three G.o.ds!”
Pharaoh Atum couldn’t betray the G.o.ds, and so he spoke through clenched teeth. “I won’t tell you, I—”
“You are quite loyal! But aren’t you afraid that I will attack your people?”
A pulled bow was already in Li Yunmu’s hand. If Pharaoh Atum didn’t tell him the truth, he would destroy the Sand City.
The countless people in Sand City would then be forced out of their homes.
Hesitation appeared in the eyes of Pharaoh Atum. He took a deep breath and said, “I only know that each of the three G.o.ds have their own jobs. As for their specific locations, I don’t know them. Moreover, there is a battle going on between the G.o.ds currently.”
Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes. Was it because of the instability of the Two Poles of Morning and Evening that the system had told him before? After a year, it seemed like a battle had broken out between the two major factions of the region.
“SunG.o.d Ra led Netherworld G.o.d Osiris and Earth G.o.d Geb to fight against Horos who is leading Death G.o.d Anubis as well as the three fate G.o.ds, which resulted in the battle. All I know right now is that they are most likely in the sky and not in the mortal world; otherwise, they would have influenced the people of Sand City.
“Our G.o.ds are very civilized!”
Li Yunmu took a deep breath, then released the pharaoh. “Why not tell me the important information right away? Then your soldiers wouldn’t have had to be in pain.”
After he finished speaking, Li Yunmu disappeared from Atum’s gaze. The pharaoh shuddered, finding the strange incredibly terrifying.
Li Yunmu rose high into the air to find the location of the battle between the Two Poles of Morning and Evening. Soon, he found traces of the G.o.ds in the Sand Sea.
SunG.o.d Ra was riding on his Winged G.o.d Dragon while leading the other two G.o.ds of Two Poles of Morning and Evening and Osiris’ wife Isis to confront the people of Horus.
“Horus, we have been fighting for so long, so why don’t you obediently follow me? You’ll only die if you don’t!”
“Ra, you don’t need to be so impudent! We will quickly find a new sunG.o.d to subst.i.tute you. Your cowardly managing style will only bring disaster to the people of Two Poles of Morning and Evening.”
“Horus, the Pharaoh of Sand City should be your so-called subst.i.tute? He is only a mortal, so how can he inherit my position? You think that the subjects will agree?”
“Even so he is more formidable than you.”
Horus had been discontent with the way Ra managed things for a long time, so under the incitement of Death G.o.d Anubis, he finally decided to split away from Ra’s control.
“You don’t know how many powers are eyeing us covetously in the Origin World. If I weren’t striking water right and left, do you think our Two Poles of Morning and Evening would’ve survived until today? Master G.o.d Amon hasn’t awakened yet, and you plan to divide us at such a time!”
“Horus, why are you wasting words? Don’t tell me that you forgot the words of that being? Don’t think about dying and just get rid of Ra and them!” Death G.o.d Anubis shouted loudly.
Horus was hesitating in the beginning, but when he heard Anubis’ reminder, his gaze became more ruthless.
“Ra, today is the day you die!” he said furiously.
He then rushed at Ra and his Winged G.o.d Dragon with his long pike. In Li Yunmu’s eyes, it was only a matter of time before a true battle broke out between the two sides.
When Li Yunmu heard the words of Death G.o.d Anubis, he thought that there was something hidden in them. It did not seem like Horus was acting of his own volition, but was being controlled by someone else.
As for who exactly that was, it wasn’t clear.
Li Yunmu chose to join the battle. He had clashed with the three Egyptian G.o.ds so he knew their strength, but he didn’t know anything about the four G.o.ds under Horus’ command.
When he descended from the sky by himself, he picked Death G.o.d Anubis as his first target.
“Explosive Thunder Heavy Kick!”
He struck like a tornado, and Death G.o.d Anubis’ feet sank into the sand.
Death G.o.d Anubis frowned instantly when faced with the uninvited guest. Horus was also stunned by the stranger suddenly dropping from the sky.
On the other hand, Ra, Osiris and Geb were pleasantly surprised. Wasn’t it the mortal who had defeated them by himself last time? Why did he suddenly come?
