Chapter 18: The River Goddess’ Test

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ra, who had suddenly appeared, did not seem to care about the conflict between his daughters.

As soon as he appeared, he stood in front of Tan Weili.

“You are the son of Osiris, Horus?”

“Yes, I am Horus.”

Tan Weili raised his head and puffed out his chest. He didn’t show any respect for the other party’s god.

Looking at the young god who looked similar to him, Ra nodded.

The young god’s vitality reminded Ra of his father, his messenger, Osiris.

Many years ago, Osiris was also a young man like this. He was full of vigor and confidence in everything he did.

So, God Ra asked Tan Weili,”I already know about your father’s matter. Are you here to ask me to punish Set?”

However, Tan Weili shook his head when he heard God Ra’s question.

He did not want to let anyone else punish Set.

Moreover, according to Egypt mythology, the god who defeated Set was Horus, not Ra.

Although Tan Weili did not know the reason, it at least showed that God Ra had a reason not to attack Set.

Therefore, Tan Weili did not ask God Ra to punish Set. Instead, he said,”I’m not here to ask for any help from you.”

“I’m here to help you solve a problem that has been bothering you for a long time.”

“Oh?”

Ra was surprised by Tan Weili’s answer.

The Sun God asked curiously,”I am the Sun God, the leader of all gods. Tell me, what problems in this world can trouble me?”

Hearing this, Tan Weili smiled.

“God Ra, after your daughter Hathor accepted your Eye of Ra, she went out of control and became the lion god Sekhmet who was obsessed with killing.”

“Don’t you want your beloved daughter to return to normal?”

Upon hearing this, the Sun God exclaimed, “Good fellow!”

Of course, Ra knew that the reason why this young god wanted to wake up Hathor was to ask her to help him defeat Set.

But with just a few simple words, Tan Weili changed the nature of the matter.

Not only would he be able to obtain Hathor’s help, but he would also be able to gain a favor from Sun God Ra.

With such powerful eloquence skills, even God Ra couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

However, Ra had been troubled by the issue of Hathor for a long time.

As Hathor had taken away a large part of his divine sun power, Ra was now very weak.

On his own, he could no longer take back his power from his daughter who had lost control and gone crazy.

So, when Tan Weili came to the door and said that he wanted to wake up Hathor, Ra had no reason to refuse.

So, he asked Tan Weili,”What do you plan to do?”

“I plan to go to Philae Island to find the sleeping fruit that can make Hathor fall asleep and lure her to drink the juice of the sleeping fruit.”

“But to get to Philae Island, you need to pass through the Evernight Kingdom.”

“The entrance to the Evernight Kingdom is very well-hidden, and only the Twelve River Goddesses at the border of the Evernight Kingdom know how to enter.”

“I hope that God Ra can use his prestige to let the Twelve River Goddesses meet me here and take me into the Evernight Kingdom.”

Ra frowned at the mention of the Evernight Kingdom.

As a land of chaos, the Evernight Kingdom was not under the jurisdiction of the Sun God Ra, but ruled by his twin brother, Apep.

As Ra and Apep were brothers and also mortal enemies, he had no way to penetrate his power into the night Kingdom.

The 12 river goddesses at the border didn’t pledge allegiance to RA. Instead, they followed the policy of pleasing both sides and not offending either side.

Ra said to Tan Weili,”It’s fine if you want the Twelve River Goddesses to come to see you. ”

“But I won’t order them to help you. You have to convince them yourself!”

“If ‘they’ reject your request, I won’t speak up for you.”

Of course, Tan Weili knew that God Ra didn’t have the ability to help him even if he wanted to. He only said that to maintain the Sun God’s reputation.

So he didn’t protest, but agreed to the other party’s request.

Soon, Ra invited the Twelve River Goddesses to his palace.

Looking at the new Pharaoh of Egypt, the Twelve River Goddesses’ eyes wandered, and they kept looking at Tan Weili.

Tan Weili didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.

On the contrary, Bastet, who was standing on the side, stood up like a cat protecting its food.

She coughed twice and said to the Twelve River Goddesses,”My sister, Hathor, is now in a state of madness. Awakening her rationality is the most important thing for us now.”

“So, let’s not waste time. If you have something to say, say it quickly!”

Hearing Bastet’s words, the Twelve River Goddesses looked at each other.

They seemed to have heard the hidden desire for possession of the pharaoh in Bastet’s words.

Hence, they all revealed ambiguous smiles.

One of the river goddesses immediately said to Tan Weili,”Young pharaoh, we will not help you head to the Evernight Kingdom unless you can pass the test we set.”

“Test?”

Upon hearing this, Tan Weili smiled and said,”If there’s any test, just come!”

He vaguely remembered that in the mythological records, Horus had relied on his wisdom to pass the test of the Twelve River Goddesses.

The current Tan Weili might be slightly weaker than Horus.

However, in terms of intelligence, the original Horus was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!

And so, the river goddess immediately raised a question for her test!

The river goddess in the lead asked Tan Weili,”Young pharaoh, we know that you are going to the Evernight Kingdom to save Goddess Hathor. The main reason is to defeat Set.”

“Since that’s the case, we’ll use this as the topic to test you.”

“As long as you can answer our questions, you’ll pass the test!”

“Sure!”

Tan Weili nodded and had no objections to the scope of the question.

The river goddess said,”You are the god who represents royalty, law, order, and justice. Set is the god who represents war and power.”

“Your battle is essentially a battle of justice and power.”

“I’d like to hear your thoughts on which is more important, justice or power?”

Which was more important, justice or power?

Tan Weili laughed when he heard the question.

The river goddess’ question actually ran through the entire history of human civilization.

There had been countless people who had relied on brutal power to trample on the side of justice.

There were also countless people who defeated the evil forces that they claimed to be in the name of justice.

Countless people had given their own answers to this question.

However, Tan Weili was confident that his answer was more profound and closer to the truth than many people who had answered this question.

He chuckled at the river goddesses and said,”How can you compare justice and power?”

“After all…”

“Justice itself is the greatest power!”
