Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unlike the previous battle with Yao Guang.

When dealing with the New God occupying Yao Guang’s body, Tianyou didn’t hold back and chose to unleash full firepower.

Fierce Evil Beasts were continuously spawned, forming a powerful Divine Beast army to besiege "Yao Guang."

And the Divine Control Ship, escorted by these fierce evil beasts, seemed to truly possess the ability to command the gods, showing its dominant and terrifying nature.

"Sometimes, I wonder if I’ve really fallen behind?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Quietly and without warning, Atum, with the head of a bull and the body of a man, appeared on the outer edge of the battlefield.

Watching the battle between the Divine Control Ship and "Yao Guang," where divine techniques were endlessly exchanged.

This ancient Sun God from countless years ago couldn’t help but fall into self-doubt.

In his era, he couldn’t even imagine such a battle occurring between two mortals who were not gods.

"You also have moments of self-doubt?"

Pale white smoke appeared behind Atum as Nephthys asked in a feigned surprised tone.

"Nephthys?"

Turning his head to see Nephthys appearing in the form of a genie, Atum was truly somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, you’ve indeed regained your memories..."

"Should I call you Atum now, or should I call you Horus?"

When Nephthys said this, she intentionally maintained a considerable distance from Atum, as though appearing before a sovereign with the reverence of a subject.

"You are my foster mother; in your presence, I will always be Horus."

As if to prove his words.

As Atum spoke, the gigantic bull’s head transformed into an eagle’s head.

Simultaneously, Atum’s hands held a magic wand and an Ankh Cross.

"This is my pledge to you, a promise that will never change."

Eagle-headed, human-shaped, crowned with gold.

One hand holding the Worth Staff, the other holding the Ankh Cross.

This image is precisely the son of Netherworld King Osiris and Magic Goddess Isis, the Pharaoh’s Guardian God — Horus.

"Horus..."

The distance in the eyes gradually faded, as Nephthys gently whispered the name with a tone of affection.

In a trance, Nephthys seemed to return to the past, to the most prosperous period of Ancient Egyptian Gods.

......................................................

Atum is the original Creator of the Ancient Egyptian Gods.

Although his position as Sun God was usurped by Ra, he ultimately did not completely perish.

When he created the Netherworld, and returned to the human world as "Dusk Sun," the Heliopolis Gods still regarded him as one of the supreme rulers.

Unfortunately, such reverence was limited to the Heliopolis Gods.

After Ra took Atum’s status, the Heliopolis Gods could be considered relics of a bygone era.

A new divine pantheon led by Ra, incorporating hundreds of world gods, was emerging — the prototype of the Ancient Egyptian Gods.

While Ra was present, the Ancient Egyptian Gods could barely maintain respect for Atum, viewing him as the creator of this world.

However, when Ra became the Sun Hunter and left this world, seeking the light of other suns across All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The Ancient Egyptian Gods, leaderless, fell into centuries of chaos.

Numerous gods attempted to use this chaos as a stepping stone, aspiring to become supreme rulers and sovereigns of the Ancient Egyptian Gods.

As the creator of this world, benevolent and compassionate Atum decided to intervene personally, to end this endless chaos.

Of course, this process was not smooth sailing.

Even as the Lord of the Underworld, Atum fell multiple times.

On his final fall, Atum lost even his identity as "Lord of the Underworld."

Atum’s most faithful subordinate, Osiris, also a member of the Heliopolis Nine Pillar Gods, attempted to resurrect him, only to die due to the jealousy and betrayal of Desert God Set.

In utter helplessness, Magic Goddess Isis had to collect her husband’s corpse and allow Osiris to experience Rebirth as the "Lord of the Underworld."

Thus, Atum was reincarnated as the child of Osiris and Isis — Horus, and then was raised by one of the Nine Pillar Gods, Nephthys.

Nephthys is Set’s wife, Guardian God of the deceased, and Goddess of childbirth.

Accompanying Horus as he grew up was Nephthys’s child, the renowned Death God Anubis in Egyptian Mythology.

After growing up, with Anubis’s help, Horus subdued all gods attempting to incite war.

When Horus ascended the Divine Throne as the "Pharaoh’s Guardian God."

The Sun Disc with wings became his symbol, heralding the new Sun God.

Such peace lasted until Ra’s return.

By then, Ra, who had become a Celestial Father, created a new world solely to help select his successor.

Whether out of personal interest or truly valuing Horus’s talents...

Reincarnated as Horus, Atum understandably became the first trial’s participant.

"In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed."

Slowly walking beside Horus, Nephthys snapped out of her memories and softly sighed.

When she was always with Yao Guang, she didn’t feel it.

But when Nephthys encountered familiar faces, a sense of time flying rushed into her heart.

Crossing from the Fourth Celestial Father era to the present, it is a period that even gods find extraordinarily long.

"Indeed! Time does pass quickly!"

Looking at the "Yao Guang" in the sky, Horus abruptly asked.

"If I’m not mistaken, that should be Amon’s power, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nephthys became immediately sheepish and lowered her head, explaining rather unnaturally.

"It’s its wish, and I never thought it could actually achieve this level."

Amon is Ra’s successor and also the final sun of the Egyptian Gods.

After inheriting Ra’s Supreme Divine Format, Amon naturally became the King Without a Crown of the Egyptian Gods, whose status surpassed Horus.

Even at his peak, Horus had no choice but to bow before Amon.

However, what Amon desired was not the submission of the Ancient Egyptian Gods, but to be a Celestial Father like Ra, ruling eternally.

To this end, Amon did not hesitate to break Ra’s Seal, attempting to release the Divine Abomination that legends say could destroy All Heavens and Myriad Realms — Demon Snake Apep!

Led by Horus, some Ancient Egyptian Gods were sealed and cast into the Fallen Area to stop Amon.
