The Persian Divine Era was the same.
Through self-fission, Great Mingzun Zalvan created the Life Mother, and below them were the factions of the Good and Evil Gods representing light and darkness.
The Supreme Good God was Ahura Mazda, under whom were six lesser deities:
Eternal Holy God Ameshaspenta, Water God Khordad, Fire God Ardibehesht, Metal God Shahrivar, Earth God Sepandar Maz, Animal God Bahman, and Plant God Amordad.
The Supreme Evil God was Angra Mainyu, who had seven Great Demon Gods under him:
Drought Demon, Dragon Demon, Deceit Demon, Plague Demon, Desire Demon, Sleep Demon, and Female Demon.
Additionally, there was a special entity—the Sun God Mitra.
Strictly speaking, he wasn’t originally a deity within the Persian system but represented the Hittite civilization and Mitanni region.
The oldest existing record of Mitra belongs to a 14th-century BCE Hittite inscription, which was part of a treaty between the Hittites and Mitanni, mentioning Mitra as the chief god of Mitanni.
Under him were the Military God Verethragna, River Goddess Anahita, Fire God Atar, and several other divine subordinates.
However, due to some specific reasons, Mitra’s faction did not appear in the Storm God Temple.
Even so, the Persian Divine Era itself could claim at least four Divine Kings, and their strength was substantial.
Based on its hard power, Zalvan was able to become the leader of the Persia, India, and Canaan three-party alliance.
Of course, due to being part of the Aryan civilization system, India and Persia aligning closely was also an important reason.
Originally, Marduk and his Babylonian Divine Era were also members of the alliance, jointly building this splendid divine enterprise with them.
Unfortunately, the King of Kings was unwilling to be subordinate, and in his hesitation, both his homeland and himself were uprooted, causing them to lose an Origin in vain.
Thinking of this, Yi Le clutched his right severed arm and cursed:
"Marduk, that fool, clearly noticed something was off, yet he only allowed our human army under him to come in to seize cities and eliminate opponents for him. If he had been more decisive and allowed us to garrison directly, how could the empty husk of Tiamat possibly rise from the ashes and reclaim the great origin of the Babylonian Divine Era?"
"That one called [Jing Gu] is the key! Without his help, it would be unknown whether Tiamat could have survived in the Sea of Chaos at all!"
Shiva held his left severed arm, his face also grim.
The reason Marduk could win that Origin God War and ascend to the throne of the King of Kings was because they had secretly contributed.
Therefore, the physical condition of the former Origin God Tiamat after her defeat in Babylon was something they understood very well.
Zalvan nodded and said solemnly:
"Although I don’t know how he assumed Jing Gu’s divine name, partnering with Tiamat, this person definitely has great origins, possibly backed by one or two powerful divine eras, after all, the two World Essences that aren’t part of the Babylonian Divine Era couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere. Therefore, to be safe, my suggestion is that before the formal start of the war, it’s best to also bring [them] here."
Upon hearing this, Shiva and Yi Le frowned, seemingly somewhat reluctant to have much interaction with the [them] Zalvan was referring to.
But thinking of that terrifying sword light that almost split them in half, the two Origin Gods finally compromised and jointly activated the Magic Circle Diagram in the Storm God Temple.
Accompanied by a band of wind and thunder roaring towards the sky, two humanoid silhouettes gradually solidified before everyone.
To the left was a tall male deity.
He had unique deep blue skin, his body like a flowing liquid cosmos, covered with vortex-like patterns on the surface, as if countless undercurrents intertwined beneath the skin. His beard was braided in the shape of the Nile River Delta, and unformed stars swirled in his hair. His eyes were like two bottomless black water wells, reflecting the world already created and devouring all possibilities of returning to chaos.
To the right was a goddess exuding a wild and dangerous aura.
She was draped in yellowed bandages, seeping an eerie blue nether fire at the wraps, seemingly an embodiment of curses from a thousand graves. A jackal-head mask forged of gold covered her face, ruby eyes gleamed with judgmental light, and seven strands of agate death counting beads hung from her jaw. Her torso was wrapped in layers of papyrus pages from the Book of the Dead, with flickering hieroglyphs recording the true names of forgotten pharaohs with each breath.
Beneath the tattered linen priest robe, she revealed alluring chocolate-colored skin and a proud figure, exuding a chaotic aura of frankincense and corpse wax with every movement, both sacred and wicked.
Zalvan spoke in a deep voice, his expression stern.
"You two, the [Unified] plan has been obstructed, and you may need to make a trip."
The male was called Nun, the incarnation of the Primordial Water and the originator of the Egyptian Divine Era;
The female was Enzambi, the ruler of the West African Divine Era and the Holy Mother of the Voodoo Sect.
Initially, both were adversaries, fighting against each other for years, attempting to seize World Essence from the other to strengthen their own divine eras.
However, in the end, because they were evenly matched, their years of battle never yielded a result.
Later, Zalvan, along with the allied Shiva and Canaan, intervened to mediate, leading both sides to decide to put aside prejudice and hostility, to jointly explore [Chaos] and forge [Divine Business].
