Inside the temple, Osdimans sat on the highest throne, propping his cheek up with his hand with interest: "The envoy from that Eastern civilization, who once had a loose connection with Egypt through the Silk Road, can now make direct contact."
When he arrived in Egypt, he found that the situation there was far better than he had imagined; it was an unimaginable golden age for him.
However, what frustrates him is that Egypt's writing system and cultural traditions have been completely lost, and the majority of the population is of foreign descent.
Although frustrated, as long as he considered himself Egyptian, then this Pharaoh would also acknowledge the current Egyptians as his subjects.
In order to properly protect Egypt, which he considered almost perfect, he also studied modern knowledge and modern governance.
He set aside most of his arrogance and sent envoys to other more prosperous countries to present letters of credence establishing diplomatic relations.
Powerful nations are protected by gods, but even with all his achievements after connecting to the World Tree, he can only reach the late stage of the seventh rank at most. Compared to powerful nations, he is far inferior in terms of high-end combat power, mid-level extraordinary individuals, or level of civilization. He is only at the early stage of the seventh rank now, but he has various treasures that are comparable to those of gods.
If he were to actually fight a god, he probably wouldn't last ten rounds; that much is undeniable.
Since he was lagging behind, he naturally had to strive to catch up. He, Osdimans, was not a pharaoh content to be at the bottom; at the very least, he had to be on par with the neighboring Mesopotamia.
As far as he knew, the Xia Kingdom was an exception. On the surface, it did not have any gods protecting it, but in reality, the Xia Kingdom's civilization had reached a level where it did not need divine guidance and was a truly mature civilization.
Egypt was just a few levels below, otherwise it wouldn't have lost its writing system.
"This is a good thing, Pharaoh! Direct communication between two ancient civilizations will definitely accelerate Egypt's growth," Nitocris said happily.
“Perhaps. Even though Egypt is already perfect in my eyes, I still want Egypt to become the strongest country,” Osdimans said confidently.
According to the world's ranking system, Nitocris is already at the sixth rank. Although she is somewhat specialized, she can easily make up for her weaknesses. At that time, Egypt will not be lacking in high-end combat power.
Yang Wanghu entered the temple carrying a box of diplomatic gifts and a letter of credence. He looked up and bowed respectfully to Osdimans, who was sitting on the throne.
"Diplomatic Envoy Yang Wanghu respectfully pays his respects to His Majesty Ramses II, the greatest Pharaoh of Egypt and the Sun King."
"Your Majesty" is an honorific title for deities, and it is used in almost all mythologies around the world.
"Esteemed envoy of Xia, please excuse the formalities and take a seat." Osdimans waved his hand. Although he was arrogant, he also had the magnanimity of a pharaoh. The envoy was a guest, and he, as the host, naturally had to treat him well.
The two third-tier superhumans moved the comfortable chair woven from tamarisk behind Yang Wanghu.
"Thank you for your generosity, Pharaoh." Yang Wanghu handed over the diplomatic gifts and credentials before sitting down.
"I hereby grant permission to establish friendly relations." Osdimans looked at the letter of state, which also contained an invitation to attend the 'Promotion Celebration'.
"The promotion celebration for a sixth-tier hero? As a pharaoh, I must protect Egypt, so I cannot go. Nitocris, you are also a pharaoh, so represent Egypt and attend."
"I must give face to the invitation from the ancient Eastern civilization to my first celebration."
Chapter 214: Guardians of Civilization, Earth and Mars Connect
“Yes, Pharaoh,” Nitocris said respectfully.
Although she was also a pharaoh of Egypt, even a pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty, seven hundred years earlier than Osdemans, her legitimacy and achievements as a pharaoh were far inferior to those of Osdemans.
She felt guilty about calling herself Pharaoh in front of Osdimans, and she was only forced into the position. Although she was not a tyrant, she was just a mediocre monarch whose story is widely known.
Therefore, her current identity is the High Priestess of Egypt, a position second only to the Pharaoh in Egypt. Moreover, she is the Queen of Magic, and the title of High Priestess is also fitting for her abilities.
“Go, in place of me, to welcome the envoy from the Xia Kingdom and show him Egyptian etiquette,” Osdimans said. Although history describes him as arrogant and a tyrant, no effort has been made by him to ensure the stability and prosperity of Egypt. Without his iron-fisted rule in that era, Egypt would have long been torn apart and plagued by constant warfare.
Therefore, he deeply admired the First Emperor of the ancient Eastern civilization, who had made such great achievements but was always slandered by those sycophantic officials who used their literary skills to spread rumors.
Nitocris bowed slightly and walked toward the Xia Kingdom envoy who was sitting quietly to the side, her purple eyes showing a hint of approval and respect.
A transcendent being who could reach the fourth rank would have been a hero who would have been famous throughout a dynasty in her time.
She was only ranked as a sixth-tier Servant by the world because of her insignificant historical achievements. If she were placed in this era, she would probably be ranked fourth at most.
Although comparing the achievements of one era with those of another is inherently paradoxical, it does not prevent her from respecting such figures.
“Mr. Yang, I will now receive the delegation. The Pharaoh is worried about the development of Egypt and is unable to receive them in person,” Nitocris said.
“Ms. Nitocris, there’s no need for such trouble, and I hope it won’t be too extravagant. Just use the standard of three meals a day for an ordinary Egyptian.” Yang Wanghu quickly stood up and respectfully performed a classical Egyptian greeting. As a diplomat, he was familiar with the etiquette of various countries. This was to respect the cultures of different countries and was also a basic quality of a diplomat.
And the woman in front of us is 'Nitocris', the queen of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt, a figure from 2000 BC, who lived for over 4,000 years.
To live this long, one must undoubtedly be a high-ranking legend of the sixth rank or above. According to the latest elemental force-driven supercomputing simulation developed by Xia Kingdom, a sixth-rank superhuman can live for more than three thousand years based solely on physical attributes, without considering other factors. In addition, with the incalculable 'divine knowledge', this lifespan would be doubled.
Conservative estimates suggest that a sixth-tier transcendent being possesses a lifespan of five to six thousand years.
This is almost the same period of time as the existence of an ancient civilization.
If a Tier 5 hero is a torch illuminating an era, then a Tier 6 hero is a guardian of a civilization, a navigator of that civilization.
It can be said that if a civilization has a 'sixth-tier legend', then that civilization will inevitably continue to develop for five thousand years without interruption.
In these five thousand years, even a civilization in the tribal era will develop into the interstellar era, and the sixth rank is almost equivalent to the creator of the core of the civilization.
Therefore, when Chief Tao Jing was promoted to the 'Sixth Rank', the entire Xia Kingdom sent out invitations to countries all over the world in a grand manner, sending them to every country that could be reached.
Even Mars was sent with the most advanced and fastest spaceship in space when Chief Tao Jing returned.
The latest spacecraft, combining nuclear power and elemental power reactor, can travel between Earth and Mars in a maximum of one month, and as close as half a month when Earth and Mars are closest.
This was all thanks to the high technology that fell from another post-apocalyptic world where Devouring Beasts existed.
With the Xia Kingdom possessing a 'Sixth-Order High-Level Legend,' the Xia Kingdom's civilization will not need to worry about going astray for the next few thousand years. If the civilization does go astray, Chief Tao Jing will correct it.
Currently, each of the major civilizations in the solar system has its own unique complexities.
Some come from completely different worlds, some from cultures similar to Earth's, and some are native to Earth's civilization.
The planet that Chief Tao Jing went to was a completely different world. Mondstadt and Fontaine on the moon, and Liyue on Mars, have similar origins and origins to Earth.
The goddess of Venus in Mesopotamia, the sun goddess of the Americas, King Arthur of Britain, and the sun king of Egypt today are all original deities in human history.
Regardless of the civilization or deity from which they originated, everything in the present day is maintained around a central theme and divine order.
The scholars at this center didn't need to rack their brains to deduce that it was the one and only God in the West, and the Heavenly Principle in the East.
“Since it is Mr. Yang’s request, we will respect your choice,” Nitocris said with a smile. “We hope that Egypt can provide the delegation with a wonderful experience during this time.”
"Tomorrow I will accompany the delegation to the Xia Kingdom to congratulate the Xia Kingdom's newly promoted hero."
"It is a great honor." Yang Wanghu appeared calm on the surface, but was very excited inside. The congratulations from a veteran sixth-tier legend was an unimaginable honor and a silent support.
Now that the Sun King and Lady Nitocris have descended upon Egypt, he believes that Egypt will not be inferior to the Xia Kingdom in the future. He does not allow an ordinary superhuman like himself to question anything represented by any high-ranking legend.
Nitocris led the delegation from the pyramid temple to the foreign guests reception area in Egypt.
After Ostilmans arrived in Egypt, he did not live a life of extravagance as before. Instead, he improved Egypt's system and truly made it an ideal country unique to the Egyptians.
Osdimans had his own pride. If a fourth-order superhuman was better than him in every way, wouldn't he, the pharaoh, become a joke?
Since he has been judged by the world to be at the seventh level, he must do what a seventh-level being can do.
"Hopefully, the other delegations will be able to return before the celebration begins," Yang Wanghu murmured to himself, gazing up at the clear, beautiful sky.
……
The Moon, Fontaine
Mo Mang Palace
At this moment, all the most influential people in Fontaine were gathered on both sides of the long table.
Navelette sat at the head of the table, watching the people who entered one after another with a respectful expression, holding several 'invitations' in her hand.
Funina sat at a small table on the other side, where neatly arranged small cakes were laid out.
Now that she no longer needs to pretend to be a god, her behavior has become more unrestrained, and she has begun to use her divine power in the courtroom to intimidate criminals.
People quietly took their seats at the long table one after another. These people all undoubtedly possessed the Eye of God, and each of them was at least at the fourth rank.
Among them, Clarinde, Leosley, and Siegwen reached the fifth rank.
"Alright, everyone's here." Navelette put down the invitations in her hand.
"Everyone's here? Lady Vilette, Lady Funina, what happened? Why did you call all of us, who have absolutely no connection to each other at work, together?" Leosley asked, full of doubt.
"You know, I've been working myself to the bone lately investigating the Fallen Ones."
"In particular, most of the nobles and unscrupulous merchants who were left over from the past have sought power from the devil and now we don't know where they have gone."
"Even in my newly built Melo Petersburg, a few Fallen Ones appeared without my notice. Luckily, they were only Tier 1, which allowed me to suppress them in time."
He thought that the newly built Mero Peterburg would be much easier to manage than Teyvat, and that was indeed the case at first. However, with the emergence of the 'Fallen Ones,' he found it much more difficult to manage than he had in Teyvat.
The prisoners who are imprisoned in Mero Petersburg are not framed; they are genuine, pure evil people, pure beasts. Getting out of Mero Petersburg is very simple: just awaken your 'Source Potential'.
As long as you can prove that you have reformed and genuinely repented on a spiritual level.
Every now and then, 'fallen' people would appear in his Mero Petersburg. Once someone became a fallen, there was no hope for them, and he would sentence them to death.
“My special patrol team had a lead, but unfortunately it was lost at a crucial moment.” Xia Worei shook her head regretfully.
“I also discovered some clues, but when I investigated further, I only caught one or two first-tier Fallen. Second-tier Fallen are too cunning.” Clorind shook her head and said, “Unless they go crazy and run away when they are out of their minds, it is very difficult to catch them.”
The main reason is that the moon is too big; if you try to explore those unexplored, uninhabited areas, you simply won't find anything.
"Um... did you call me here to discuss how to find the Fallen Ones?" Navia asked, puzzled. "Our Rose Society is also searching, but with little success."
"Then this has nothing to do with me as a chef, right? The Fallen Ones won't be attracted by my cooking." Aikofi crossed her arms and frowned. "Although I'm also a late-stage fourth-tier cultivator, I'm not good at combat. Do you expect a chef like me to fight against murderers who can kill people of higher levels?"
"And I was called over while I was cooking in the kitchen. It's such a waste of ingredients to cook something only halfway through."
She had no idea how her fame had spread all over the world, and every day guests from other countries came to visit her.
As the chef, she couldn't turn away the guests who came to cook for her; even if she had personal matters to attend to, she had to put up a sign in advance.
She is said to be the only chef on the moon and on Earth who can independently prepare 'Level 5 cuisine'.
Is it really that exaggerated? Out of more than 100 countries and nearly 10 billion people on Earth, is there not a single person whose cooking skills surpass hers? This puts a lot of pressure on her.
'Should we go travel around the world and see how chefs in other countries cook? Maybe I can teach a few apprentices?'
"Was an envoy from Earth injured?" Hisewen, known as Head Nurse of Fontaine, blinked and said gently, "I've recently improved a lot in my fifth-level medical skills, and I can even heal emotional wounds now."
"Could it be that we were called here because of the envelope in front of Lady Vilette? There are exactly eight of them." Amelie said with a smile. As the 'site cleaner' and perfumer, she noticed some clues at a glance.
“That’s true.” Navelette nodded and tapped the ‘invitation’ in front of him. The eight invitations quickly flew to their respective owners.
"This is an invitation from the most powerful nation on Earth to Fontaine."
“Hehe… As a top reporter for Steambird News, I already knew.” Charlotte chuckled, her left monocle visible. “It’s an invitation from Xia Kingdom’s ‘Heroes’ Celebration,’ specially issued to distinguished guests from various countries.”
"I really didn't expect that I, a lowly reporter for Steambird News, would be able to get it."
"Heroes' Festival? I haven't been paying much attention to things on Earth lately, it's too far away after all. What kind of festival is this?" Navia asked curiously.
