At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Okay, take your time," Li Shuwen nodded.

The coaches who had gotten up looked at each other, confused and bewildered, while the apprentices were even more bewildered.

……

the other side

Mesopotamia, Iraq, Warka, now the city has been renamed 'Uruk'.

This is the center of civilization in Mesopotamia, the most developed region in all of Mesopotamia. The architectural style here combines modern and ancient Uruk styles, with both high-rise buildings and towering temples.

The city has grown to the size of a central city in a province of Xia. People on the streets wear modern clothes, ancient clothes, and robes, and can wear whatever they want.

Moreover, the most deep-rooted conflicts of faith have long since disappeared. The gods of the world are all friends with each other, and there is no conflict at all. Here, faith is free.

In the temple at the very center of the city, Ishtar, the goddess of Venus and the goddess of Mesopotamia, sat in a magnificent golden palace, where everything was made of gold and jewels, an extremely luxurious place.

"Eek!!! This aura! This disgusting aura!!!" Ishtar stood up and instantly flew above the temple, her eyes fixed on the two shooting stars falling towards Uruk.

The two shooting stars emitted an aura that she would recognize even if they turned to ash.

"That despicable Gilgamesh and Enkidu!!!"

"Damn it! How did those two bastards get over there?!"

Ishtar realized what was happening and quickly regained her composure, even arrogantly crossing her arms, her eyes gradually becoming dismissive, even excited.

"Hmph... Arrogant Gilgamesh, your arrogance stems from your ability to govern Uruk effectively and earn you the people's love."

"Now, all of Mesopotamia under my rule is a hundred million times more prosperous than under yours! All my people love me a hundred million times more than they loved you! Watch me ridicule you properly!" Ishtar's mind flashed back to Gilgamesh, head bowed, kneeling unwillingly at her feet, and she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."

Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh, I just want to see that expression on your face, that look of resentment and jealousy that's killing me! Ahahahahaha.

Chapter 236: Gilgamesh: I was careless, I didn't flash...

Uruk has a population of over eight million, making it a large city in the world. Due to the large number of temples, it requires a large land area, and its population is relatively sparse compared to other cities.

This is also the most livable and relaxing city in all of Mesopotamia. It is not as busy as other cities, and the pace of life is relatively slow.

The main reason for this is that the goddess of Venus, who protected Mesopotamia, disliked trouble, and in addition, the goddess of Venus was in charge of the harvest, which led to the abundance of resources in Mesopotamia.

With ample food, ordinary people naturally don't need to struggle for survival. As the saying goes, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame."

Although Mesopotamia was not as advanced in technology and development as other regions, it was in no way inferior in terms of civilization and honor, and everyone took pride in beauty.

This 'beauty' is not just about appearance, but about pursuing inner beauty. The Xia Kingdom pursued 'the attainment of innate knowledge and the unity of knowledge and action,' which means pursuing 'inner beauty.'

For Mesopotamia, which has suffered from thousands of years of war, the present era is an undisputed 'utopia'.

At this moment, in the governor's building, Adel, the only fifth-order transcendent being in Mesopotamia, put down his tablet computer and looked out the window.

"Huh! What's going on today? So many meteors are falling to Earth, and two of them even fell into Uruk."

He was originally the mayor of Baghdad, Iraq. Later, he organized superhumans to clear out unrest in one-third of Mesopotamia, eliminating drugs, extremist religions, and various terrorists. In addition, he cleared out monsters from one-third of the residential area, thus advancing to the fifth rank.

After advancing to the fifth rank, he was transferred by the goddess to Uruk to become the governor of all Mesopotamia.

"Wait, those two shooting stars... were they superhumans??" Adel rubbed his eyes suddenly. Although he was a fifth-tier early-stage superhuman, his strength was far inferior to those veteran heroes, but he still possessed the necessary power, and his eyesight far exceeded that of a fourth-tier superhuman.

In that instant, he clearly felt the two meteors emanating an aura that startled him; such an aura was definitely not something a fifth-tier being could possess.

Sixth order? Or seventh order?

Currently, the only known superhumans of the sixth rank or above in the world are those who have existed since ancient times, such as the Sun King and the Magic Queen of Egypt, and Ms. Tao, the first sixth-rank individual in the Xia Kingdom. The rest are from even more distant eras or non-human beings from other worlds.

Thinking of this, his figure disappeared instantly, flying towards the place where the meteor fell. His flight speed was very fast, already supersonic, but he deliberately controlled his power to avoid creating a sonic boom.

"The goddess didn't appear, does that mean those two have no influence on Uruk?"

Ordinary citizens looked up at the sky, admiring the falling meteor. Some drank and pointed at the sky in open-air taverns, while others played flutes and xylophones, laughing and chatting. Children ran excitedly towards the spot where the meteor had fallen, chasing each other.

This is Uruk. The goddess resides in the highest temple, visible to anyone who looks up. It is the direction that gives everyone the greatest sense of security, so even if a meteor falls or an even greater disaster strikes, they will not panic and will calmly cope with it.

"What a beautiful shooting star, and it was even blue."

"Yes, the meteor is getting slower and slower; it must be the goddess's divine power."

"It's so beautiful, it's like a blessing to our Mesopotamian land."

"As long as the goddess is here, every moment is a blessing for us."

Cheers! Tomorrow will be even better!

"cheers!"

It was daytime in Xia Kingdom, but nighttime in Uruk, so the two falling meteors were exceptionally bright, overshadowing all the city lights. However, the meteors lost their brilliance as they approached the city.

Under the city lights and the cover of night, no one noticed the two figures falling into the city. Even if they did, they would only assume that they were hallucinating from watching shooting stars for too long.

Gilgamesh, clad in gleaming golden armor, and Enkidu, dressed in white robes, both landed in a dimly lit corner of the street.

"What's going on with this world? The natural energy is more than ten times higher than in the Age of Gods. Even Servants can exist directly, and they can even convert their great deeds in life into power." Gilgamesh frowned as he stepped out of the shadows, looking at this city in the near future that coexists with the Age of Gods.

"There's also this 'common sense' that came to my mind from the Great Source: this world is a Lostbelt? But with such abundant Great Source and such plentiful resources, it doesn't seem like a Lostbelt at all."

"And beyond the starry sky..." Gilgamesh looked up at the night sky, where there was an even more magnificent view. The moon was actually a planet with life and a vibrant civilization.

Besides the moon, other planets also seem to have civilizations, and the planets communicate with each other, which is simply incredible.

“This is another world.” Enkidu, with waist-length green hair, knelt down, his palm stroking the earth, his smile gentle: “This is the Chain of Heaven that binds humanity, gods, and the earth.”

“I can feel the vitality of this land. It is healthy and the people are happy. It’s incredible. Even the most prosperous period you created, Jill, cannot compare to it.”

"What? My dear friend, I don't agree with that." Gilgamesh immediately crossed his arms in displeasure: "Times always move forward, and times cannot be compared. I have already done my best under the circumstances at that time."

"If you compare this era with my era, what difference is there between it and comparing a forest and a desert?"

“You’re still so serious, Gil,” Enkidu said gently. “Although you say that, the level of human happiness cannot be faked. The happiness level of people in this era is indeed far greater than that of our time.”

"..." Gilgamesh crossed his arms and silently surveyed the surrounding city. As the oldest king, he could tell the health of a country.

This country is incredibly healthy, to the point that such a state only exists in the 'ideal state' of human imagination.

The ideal state can only be achieved by losing something, and what is lost is precisely what makes up 'human beings'.

Therefore, in his view, the 'ideal state' is an incomprehensible distortion, and a world without a future is determined by human reason.

However... this world is different. Although it is an 'ideal state', it has not abandoned anything. On the contrary, it is adding more and more things for people. This is the driving force of civilization, constantly moving forward, constantly improving, and constantly moving towards the future.

“Incredible…” Gilgamesh couldn’t help but say after using the ‘Omniscient and Omnipotent Star’ to obtain some information about the surroundings: “This world is incredible. This is definitely not ‘Pan-Human History’.”

"No, this is 'Pan-Human History,' another 'Pan-Human History'!"

“Yes, it is indeed another pan-human history. This pan-human history has a completely different definition of everything, and our definition of Heroic Spirits is also different.” Enkidu stretched out his hand, and his body was continuously converting great deeds into power. Something called ‘Transcendent Rank’ was slowly increasing.

"This pan-human history has no 'Hall of Heroes'; the will of the world recognizes Heroic Spirits as living, independent beings, not as projections of history."

“Incredible, simply unbelievable, the world has opened up ‘destiny’, ‘miracles’, and even the ladder of life’s ascension to all life.”

"A 'pan-human history' in which all intelligent life takes control of its own destiny..." Gilgamesh's shoulders trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Heh..." Then he covered his forehead with his hand and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha... Truly, truly a mad world!"

Doesn't this mean that every human being has the potential to become a god?

If that's the case, then there must be an existence that transcends everything, such as the 'Root,' to establish a series of orders; otherwise, it must be an incredibly terrifying chaotic world.

In other words, the 'root' of this pan-human history is a clear sense of self and a desire to dominate everything for the sake of the world's growth.

"A system of good and evil minds." After Gilgamesh finished laughing, he carefully pondered the information from the Great Source, using the height of morality and mind to determine the height of power: "This is simply unbelievably perfect in the history of humankind."

Whether to do good or evil is determined by the complex minds of human beings, without coercion. A group of morally upright heroes continuously drive the pace of world development, while those who destroy the world and civilization fall into hell.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu changed into modern clothes and wandered around the city for a long time, learning a great deal, even more than the locals.

In Uruk's most upscale tavern, Gilgamesh and Enkidu sat at the bar.

"That Ishtar... is that the Ishtar I know?" Gilgamesh's cheeks twitched as he shook the wine cup in his hand. The cup contained a fourth-tier fine wine, which was comparable to the 'divine wine' in his treasury.

"No, no, no, it absolutely can't be that Ishtar. They must be two completely different goddesses." Gilgamesh pressed his fingers against the veins that were bulging on his forehead.

Every citizen of this city speaks of 'Ishtar' with heartfelt worship and blessings, more fervent than the people of Uruk in his time were of their king.

This era is the future. Before that, this world was no different from the era of Fujimaru Ritsuka. But later, the great source of the entire world was restored, the Age of Gods returned, and the gods returned one after another.

However, the gods here were completely different from the gods he knew. They were all compassionate and benevolent, and all were supreme saints who could guide mankind to develop a glorious civilization.

How could those bastards of the Uruk Age of Gods compare to such a deity? The bastards of Uruk merely treated humans as slaves, tools, and possessions, to be killed and plundered at their whim.

Even he had to admit that the gods of this world were flawless, and he respected them from the bottom of his heart.

The land of Mesopotamia today is more prosperous than anyone could imagine, a land of heroes, a land of peace and prosperity, brimming with hope and vitality—it is exactly the Uruk he had imagined.

“I think so. Although history and mythology are not far apart, they are definitely two completely different gods.” Enkidu said with a smile, “Why don’t we go and pay our respects to the goddess Ishtar?”

"To pay homage..." Gilgamesh calmed down and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp: "Although I despise the gods, I have great respect for the gods of this world, so it is not unreasonable to humble myself and pay homage."

"Then let's go together after the sun rises," Enkidu said with a smile.

"Ahem, are you two on your way to pay homage to the goddess Ishtar?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked over with a wine glass and smiled: "Let me introduce you, my name is Adel."

"Hmph, finally out, huh? You've been spying on me and my best friend like a little mouse all the way here, you mongrel." Gilgamesh snorted coldly, his red eyes filled with displeasure.

"Uh..." Adel was embarrassed after being scolded: "I'm sorry, my two friends, there was a reason for this, please forgive me."

“You’re one of the city’s administrators, so it’s understandable that you’d be cautious around a stranger wielding a ‘weapon,’ which is why I didn’t make a scene.” Gilgamesh put down his wine glass on the bar. He didn’t refer to himself as “King” in front of ordinary people.

While it's unpleasant to be spied on, it's understandable. The other party seems to be a very strong superhuman. According to the principle that the higher one's morality, the stronger one's power, the other party must also be a noble person.

When faced with noble people, he showed the magnanimity that a king should have.

“My name is Adel, and I am the governor of Uruk. I am very grateful that you understand, my friend,” Adel said politely. The two people on the other side were clearly of a higher rank than him, most likely at least sixth rank.

"The two of them mentioned wanting to pay homage to the goddess, so they couldn't help but come out."

"Actually, you don't have to wait until tomorrow to see the goddess. High-level superhumans can see the goddess at any time."

Although the goddess Ishtar has a bad temper, she is very patient with high-ranking transcendents who have important matters to attend to. Of course, if there are no important matters, she will inevitably be scolded.

“In that case, the goddess Ishtar is truly incredibly wise.” Gilgamesh nodded. “Please lead the way.”

"Please come this way," Adel said with a smile, leading Gilgamesh and Enkidu in.

"By the way, I don't know the identities of these two friends yet. I wonder if I'll have the honor of finding out."

"You'll know when the time comes," Gilgamesh said bluntly. He had his own pride and wouldn't introduce himself; in his view, self-introduction was just self-praise by a job seeker.

"That's a real shame." Adel sighed. These two have rather strange tempers; they seem difficult to communicate with and unlikely to become friends.
