Gu Tianchen said confidently, "A mere Supreme Being, what kind of Sun God is he? You can tell he's arrogant just by hearing his name."

"So what if he's the supreme god? Everyone has a few godfathers and godmothers, right?"

Best nodded and said, "Alright, since you have a way to deal with the Supreme God, I will take you there to overthrow the tyranny of the sun together!"

Gu Tianchen looked at Zhou Ping and said, "Teacher, I'm leaving. Take them home."

Zhou Ping looked at Gu Tianchen and said, "Remember, don't be reckless, and come back safely."

"Understood, everyone. See you in Great Xia."

Gu Tianchen looked at everyone.

"See you in Great Xia!"

The catgirl, carrying Gu Tianchen and Hou Qing, flew through the mist towards Egypt.

Zhou Ping, Ying Gou, and the Fifth Special Squad escorted Anta County back to Daxia.

……

Egypt.

Best landed with Gu Tianchen and Hou Qing amidst swirling mist and howling yellow sand.

The white mist intertwined with the golden desert, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.

Hou Qing waved his hand to disperse the surrounding mist and looked around at the environment.

What are we doing in this vast desert?

"Of course, it's about finding allies. Besides the sun god Ra, the wind god Hugh and the sand god Set have probably also fled back to Sun City."

"If the other five Pillar Gods return to help, how many can you hold off?" Best asked.

Hou Qing extended two fingers.

With his strength, he could at least hold off the Wind God and Rain God, who were at the half-step Supreme level, for a while.

“You don’t expect the two of us to hold off a Supreme Being and five Main Gods, do you? Besides, Set, as the God of the Desert, also possesses a Supreme Artifact representing the desert, making him no weaker than a half-step Supreme Being,” Best analyzed.

"What's the panic? This kid said he has a way to deal with the Supreme One. Just let him deal with that... that thing." Hou Qing said, pointing at Gu Tianchen.

When Best saw this scene, he always had the same feeling as when the Nine-Headed Insect ordered Benboerba to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples...

She was still somewhat uneasy and asked, "That's a supreme god. Are you sure you have a way to deal with him?"

"Don't worry, as long as you take me into Sun City, I'm 100% sure I can take down the Sun God," Gu Tianchen said confidently.

“Fine, I’ll risk my life and trust you this once.” Best nodded.

"Don't worry, we're guaranteed to win. By the way, what are we doing in this desert? Who's in here?" Gu Tianchen asked, looking puzzled.

Best smiled slightly, "Let's wait for the moon to rise together."

Gu Tianchen frowned. This catgirl hadn't learned anything good from Daxia, except how to speak in riddles.

As dusk fell, a sliver of moonlight slowly descended from the sky, dispelling the mist.

Hou Qing narrowed his eyes, looking at the moonlight that was shining down with a wary expression, and gathered strands of curse power in his hands.

Best smiled and said, "Don't worry, they're not enemies, they're friends."

hum!

The moonlight spread out, and a wise old man dressed in a white divine robe slowly approached.

"Best, you're finally back."

Best smiled and nodded at the old man, and the two walked together to Gu Tianchen and Hou Qing.

"Let me introduce you. This is Khonsu, the Egyptian moon god, the protector of the night, and the wisest deity in Egypt," Best said, pointing to the white-robed elder beside him.

Kong Su smiled kindly at the two of them, "You two have come from afar. Egypt is currently in dire straits. I hope you will forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

Gu Tianchen looked at Kong Su with curiosity and asked, "You are the Egyptian moon goddess, you must not get along with the sun god, right?"

"Egypt has suffered under the sun for too long. We have come here to act on behalf of Heaven and help you shoot down this scorching sun. I have even thought of a name for it: the Sun-Shooting Campaign!"

"Your Excellency Moon Goddess, would you be interested in joining us in shooting down the sun?"

"Think about it, if the sun disappeared, wouldn't the moon be able to rise?"

Kong Su said with a smile, "You little rascal, you're quite good at using someone else's strength against them. No wonder you come from the distant Great Xia of the East."

"However, this old man's bones can't take the strain, and I can't fight and kill with you young people."

Undeterred, Gu Tianchen pressed on, "Do you have any relatives or friends who are good fighters that you could recommend? Or perhaps some powerful magic weapons would be helpful."

Kong Su said with a smile, "Although I am not good at fighting, I have an apprentice who does have some fighting talent."

"And in his hands, there is a supreme artifact symbolizing the moon, which I gave him back then, and it is extremely powerful."

"If this supreme artifact were in his hands, his combat power would be about the same as that of the handsome white-haired man beside you."

Hou Qing smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Hehe, Moon Goddess, you're too kind."

Half a step to the highest level?

Gu Tianchen suddenly realized something and looked at Kong Su, asking, "Your disciple wouldn't happen to be Set, the God of Yellow Sand, one of the Nine Pillar Gods, would he?"

"He possessed a supreme artifact that could elevate him to a half-step supreme level. He wanted to seize the fragments of our Great Xia Fengdu, but we drove him away."

Best said, "It's not him. The Sandstorm Battle Axe in Set's hand symbolizes the desert, and the Moon God just said that the supreme artifact in his apprentice's hand symbolizes the moon."

"Among the three supreme artifacts of the Egyptian Sun City, there is also the Sun God's Staff, which symbolizes the supreme sun and is currently in the hands of the sun god Ra."

"Without this supreme artifact, we would face immense difficulties in dealing with the Nine Pillar Gods."

Gu Tianchen nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, I see."

"Grandpa Moon Goddess, after all this time, you still don't know your disciple's name? Where is he now?" Hou Qing asked.

Kong Su smiled slightly and replied, "My apprentice's name is Horus."

Chapter 265 Guardians of the Nile

"Who?!"

Gu Tianchen looked shocked.

Unexpectedly, the old man's apprentice was Horus, a famous Egyptian god.

The vengeful god, depicted as an eagle, has his right eye symbolizing the sun and his left eye symbolizing the moon.

Even he, a poor student, had heard of the Eye of Horus.

Gu Tianchen looked at Kong Su and asked tentatively, "The supreme artifact you mentioned, could it be the legendary Eye of Horus?"

Kong Su smiled and nodded, "That's right, I refined the Moonstone, which symbolizes the moon, into his left eye to help him defeat Set, the god of the yellow sand who wields the Sandstorm Battle Axe."

"Does that mean we need to find Horus and obtain the Eye of Horus, the supreme artifact, in order to deal with the Ennead?"

"Yes."

"Where is he?" Gu Tianchen asked.

Best said, "Horus, in order to oppose the sun's construction of the human circle and the sacrifice of humans to resist the tyranny of the mist, joined forces with a few of us to launch an uprising."

"After his defeat, the sun god Ra ordered his father Osiris to imprison him in the underworld."

"Good heavens, another traitor," Gu Tianchen said.

Hou Qing raised an eyebrow. "Why did you use 'again'?"

Gu Tianchen said with a smile, "I didn't mean anything by it, Uncle."

"Oh, right, I have another question."

"what?"

Gu Tianchen said in a serious tone, "His father, Osiris, died in our Great Xia, and this matter has something to do with me to some extent."

"I heard he's known as the God of Revenge. I hope he won't seek revenge on me for this?"

Kong Su smiled and explained, "My apprentice is very clear about right and wrong. Osiris blindly follows the sun, and they have long since severed their father-son relationship. Don't worry, young friend, he won't seek revenge on you."

Severing ties with his father… Goodness, this plot is so familiar…

Gu Tianchen coughed lightly and said, "I have a traitorous friend who also doesn't get along with his father. I'll introduce them to each other when I have the chance."

"I guess they must have a lot in common to talk about in this regard."

"Alright, that's all I can do to help you. The rest of the journey depends on you," said Moon Goddess Kong Su with a smile.

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely defeat the sun and make you the one in power," Gu Tianchen said, patting his chest.

Kong Su smiled slightly, turned around and left.

"Fame and fortune are all fleeting clouds; take care, everyone."

Kong Su waved his hand, transforming into a ray of moonlight and dissipating into the void.

After the Egyptian moon goddess left, Gu Tianchen looked at Hou Qing and asked, "Uncle, how was it?"

Hou Qing narrowed his eyes. "This Egyptian moon god has concealed his aura. The moonlight is hazy, and it's impossible to see through his strength."

"However, I suspect that his strength is no less than mine, and may even be a few points stronger than mine."

Gu Tianchen stroked his chin and said, "Tsk, I knew these old geezers loved to lie."

Best gently patted his head. "Don't speak ill of the Moon Goddess behind her back."

Gu Tianchen chuckled and scratched his head. "No, I was just flattering you. Catgirl, where are we going to find Horus?"

Best said, "The entrance to the Egyptian underworld is in the Nile Delta, and that's where we enter the underworld."

"it is good."

Best led the two of them all the way to the Nile Delta.

The water level of the Nile has dropped significantly; I wonder if it's due to fog erosion.

"Come with me."

Best, along with Gu Tianchen and Hou Qing, prepared to enter the Nile River.
