Best quickly explained, "Horus, he's an assistant I brought from Great Xia."

Horus's gaze swept back and forth between Hou Qing and Gu Tianchen before he slowly said, "Even our own people might not be able to help us, let alone them."

Gu Tianchen said with a smile, "Ah, sometimes the enemy of my enemy is more useful than my friend."

"The Ennead of Egypt attempted to attack Bactria, so we turned around and raided their base. When raiding a base, the more chaotic the place, the better."

"The more chaotic the situation, the better you can take advantage of the chaos to overthrow the tyranny of the sun."

"At least we have a common goal now, which is to overthrow the rule of the Nine Pillars of Sun City. More adoptive fathers... ptooey, more friends, more paths."

"If you few, with our help, destroy Sun City, establish a new Egyptian divine kingdom, and become allies with Great Xia..."

"If Olympus and Asgard attack us in the future, at least we can help each other. Why not?"

Horus looked at Gu Tianchen and sneered, "Heh, good idea, but it's not as easy to implement as you say."

"Leaving aside the other eight Pillar Gods, the sun god Ra alone is far beyond your current strength to deal with."

Horus looked at Hou Qing and said, “I admit you are stronger than me, but you are still no match for the Supreme God.”

Hou Qing shrugged and said, "It's not me who's dealing with the Sun God."

Horus's single eye was filled with doubt. The strongest in this team was Hou Qing. Could there be other experts?

Gu Tianchen raised his hand and said, "Leave the Sun God Ra to me, you deal with the rest of the Nine Pillar Gods."

Horus looked at him in disbelief. "You?!"

"What a joke! Any random dog out here is stronger than you. Where do you get the confidence to take on a supreme god?"

Horus's words immediately displeased Gu Tianchen and Anubis.

Is this supposed to be the God of Vengeance? His mouth is like it's been poisoned; calling him the God of Revenge is more fitting.

Gu Tianchen glared at him and said, "You one-eyed idiot, don't meddle in the affairs of the Witch Clan. Just tell me if you're going to join us or not and take down Sun City."

Horus said seriously, "Even without your help, I will still fight the Ennead Gods to the end."

"I will avenge those innocent people against the sun!"

"Alright, then let's work together to overthrow the tyranny of the sun!" Gu Tianchen shouted, raising his arm. "Welcome to the Sun-Shooting Expedition Squad."

Best introduced Gu Tianchen and Hou Qing to Horus, wanting to tell Horus about the death of his father Osiris, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

Gu Tianchen noticed Best's predicament and pulled her aside. "Since you're embarrassed to say it, let me do it. He'll find out about this sooner or later anyway."

Best nodded and said, "Okay, then remember to be tactful."

Gu Tianchen nodded and said, "Don't worry, we Great Xia people are the best at speaking tactfully."

After saying that, Gu Tianchen walked up to Horus and said with a serious expression, "Horus, as an ally, there is something I must tell you."

"what's up?"

Gu Tianchen looked at Horus's one-eyed figure with a serious expression and said:

"Your father is dead."

Chapter 271 Sun Holy Mountain

Best: ...

Is this how you Great Xia people politely express yourselves?

Horus was taken aback at first, then after a moment of silence, he asked, "How did you die?"

"I killed him," Gu Tianchen said without any hesitation.

Horus looked at Gu Tianchen with a shocked expression.

"How could a mere mortal like you possibly kill a Nine Pillar God?!"

Gu Tianchen said seriously, "You know Houtu Niangniang of the Great Xia Dynasty, right? She's my godmother. I killed her using her Six Paths of Reincarnation Law."

Horus still looked at Best beside him in disbelief, and the latter nodded to indicate that what Gu Tianchen said was true.

"Let him be killed. He followed La in aiding and abetting evil anyway, and his current fate is his own fault."

Horus looked at Gu Tianchen and said, "He is Hades. Remember to erase his soul, otherwise he will be resurrected."

Anubis, standing nearby, nodded frantically in agreement. "That's right, if you can't erase his soul, I can help."

Looking at this scene of "father parting and son laughing"—a father bidding farewell to his son—Gu Tianchen thought, "This Egyptian god of the underworld didn't die unjustly..."

"Don't worry, I not only obliterated his soul, but also refined his divine body. It was the highest ritual of our Great Xia, reducing his bones to ashes. You can now inherit the family fortune in peace."

Anubis nodded with satisfaction.

Horus, on the other hand, had no interest in the underworld; he was going to become the Pirate King… oops, I mean, he was going to become the new God-King of Egypt!

Best looked at Horus and said, "We have come to find you under the guidance of the moon goddess."

Horus raised an eyebrow. "My master? Where is he?"

With the addition of the Moon Goddess, their chances of defeating the Nine Pillar Gods will greatly increase.

Best said, "The moon god is unwilling to participate in this battle. He sent us to find you. As long as you have the Eye of Horus, the supreme artifact refined from the moonstone, you can deal with Sun City."

Gu Tianchen looked at Horus and said, "Alright, there are no outsiders here. Open your left eye and let me see what the Eye of Horus looks like."

Horus looked at Gu Tianchen and asked, "Are you sure?"

Gu Tianchen took a half step back and tentatively asked, "Is there any danger?"

Horus opened his left eye, which was a dark, empty hole. His entire eyeball had been gouged out, making it look sinister and terrifying.

"Holy crap, where's the ball?!"

Gu Tianchen let out a gasp.

Horus said, "Do you think that since I am imprisoned in the underworld, the sun god would leave this supreme artifact on me so that I can use it to escape?"

"After all that effort, it turns out that Ra has already taken the legendary Eye of Horus. What's the point of playing this game?"

"Uncle, let's go home."

Gu Tianchen turned and left without looking back, heading back to Great Xia.

Horus said, "I can sense its presence; it is not in Sun City."

"Where is it?" Gu Tianchen stopped and asked.

"The Temple of the Sun God within the Human Realm—the Ennead used it to create a special space to resist the erosion of the mist and protect the Human Realm," Horus replied.

"Three years ago, an organization appeared out of nowhere, I think it was called the Shangxi Society, and bombed many of the temples of the Nine Pillar Gods."

“To prevent such incidents from happening again, Sun City used the Eye of Horus to create a community specifically for those who offer faith and willpower, and built many new temples,” Best explained.

Gu Tianchen's lips curled up slightly. As expected of Ji Minghuang's daughter, she was planning to wreak havoc on the human circle of the Gods Kingdom in the Mist.

"So we're going to the Temple of the Sun to retrieve the Eye of Horus?" Gu Tianchen asked.

“Hmm.” Best nodded.

"Alright, let's go then."

Hou Qing, carrying Gu Tianchen, followed Horus, who had transformed into an eagle at the forefront, as they flew out of the underworld.

Gu Tianchen said speechlessly, "Actually, Uncle, you can let me go. I can fly."

"With your rudimentary level of wind-riding, by the time you get there, it'll be too late," Hou Qing retorted.

Gu Tianchen asked with a smile, "Then can you summon a flying zombie to carry me on its back? Like carrying a chick, don't I have any dignity?"

Hou Qing rolled her eyes. "This is Egypt, not Bactria. There are mummies everywhere. Where am I supposed to get you a flying zombie?"

Gu Tianchen frowned. "No way, does Egypt not have zombies?"

Hou Qing smiled slightly, "Yes."

Gu Tianchen asked curiously, "Where?"

You'll find out soon enough.

Horus led the group to a scorching, towering mountain.

"Holy crap, it's so hot! Could this be the legendary Flaming Mountain?" Gu Tianchen quickly used his divine fire to resist the mountain's intense heat.

Best said, "This mountain isn't called the Flaming Mountain, it's called the Sun Sacred Mountain, and it's a barrier to enter the Temple of the Sun God."

Gu Tianchen looked up and saw a large golden ship hovering atop the mountain, radiating dazzling light.

"What is that?" Gu Tianchen asked with a curious expression.

“That’s the Sun Boat, the mount pulled by the Sun God. Legend has it that it carried the Sun God on a daily journey from east to west, which is one day,” Best explained.

"Isn't he going to work today?" Gu Tianchen asked.

Best laughed and said, "Myths and legends aren't all true. They're just a means for Ra to gain more faith and deceive the people."

"That's good. If La really works today, then we'll have to go home." Gu Tianchen finally felt relieved.

hum!

A flash of divine light appeared, and an old man dressed in a white divine robe and holding a staff appeared before everyone.

"Horus, Best, Sobek, Anubis..."

"What are you trying to do?" the old man in white robes questioned.

"Who's this old man?" Gu Tianchen nudged Best and asked.

“Haihe, one of the eight primordial gods, was ordered to guard the Sun Sacred Mountain, and is also the mountain god of this sacred mountain,” Best explained.

"Hey, I thought it was some powerful character, but it turns out it's just an Eighth-Elemental God. I can take care of it in no time," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

The eight Yuan Gods that appeared along the way were only at the level of Lesser Gods, and were extremely weak, so Gu Tianchen didn't take them seriously.

Best said, "Don't be careless. This old man is different from the other eight Yuan Shen. His strength is unfathomable, and he can't be killed no matter how you try."

"Impossible, how can he not be killed no matter what? Even the power of laws can't kill him?" Gu Tianchen asked with a puzzled look.

Hou Qing's lips curled up slightly. "Why don't you try and see?"

Swish!
