Chapter 1387: Chapter 83: Spicy Grilled Squid
Pandora remained uneasy, continuing to voice her doubts:
“Even though your plans are thorough and their disguises are perfect, these methods might not withstand repeated scrutiny from the deities. What if…”
Luo En glanced at Pandora and retorted:
“Do you care about how many ants beneath your feet are born, live, and die each day, or how their populations change?”
Pandora instinctively shook her head and then realized.
Just as she wouldn’t care about the ants’ reproduction and survival, the high and mighty deities never truly cared about the humans on earth.
Because, to them, humans are akin to ants and not worth much attention.
But often, the seemingly non-threatening is the most deadly.
Pandora was completely convinced by her meticulous superior and no longer held any worry.
Subsequently, under Luo En’s guidance, the Babylonians re-established a covenant with God on Sinai Mountain.
This time, besides the Ten Commandments, there was also the Covenant Book responsible for interpretation.
This is also known as the Divine Scripture, a legal collection based on the Ten Commandments, briefly emphasizing moral life in society and at home, safeguarding human rights, including the way of slaves, handling of murders, examples of treating thieves, care for the distressed, processing litigations, observing the Sabbath and festivals, etc. The law clearly shows the characteristics of God’s justice and benevolence, comprising high standards of moral and legal governance.
Further down are the regulations of the sanctuary and the establishment of various rituals, hoping that God’s people will not only follow the law and live a moral life but also serve God according to His will, leading a life of worship.
When all the Babylonians present made promises before the Ten Commandments and Divine Scripture, completing the ceremony, the Divine Patterns engraved on the mud tablet illuminated one after another.
Millions of golden light dust fused into their bodies and minds, imprinting the Canaanites’ mark and weaving a memory of the past.
— Memory is the most unreliable thing.
Because it deceives us.
Science shows that memory often selectively retains information beneficial to us and coinciding with our expectations. For example, when we strive to recall a particular scene from the past, we find it difficult to ensure we remember the truly important details, instead recalling content that fits our imagination.
Thus, when immersed in memory, we may not truly remember the most crucial and relevant details. Memory’s selectivity makes it easy to overlook genuinely important information, while only retaining fragments that meet our expectations and foresight. This deceptive memory makes our understanding of the past incomplete, possibly misleading our judgment and decision-making.
As the Chief God served by the Nine Muses together, Luo En undoubtedly also possesses powerful memory divine authority.
Currently, he is using this power to fabricate flawless identities for these Babylonians under his command.
Of course, before executing the plan, these Babylonians had already learned from the Father God the price they had to pay and the mission they had to bear.
Those who could leave that Paradise and rush to Sinai Mountain were undoubtedly mentally prepared.
Therefore, none of the Babylonians before the altar resisted or questioned, humbly bowing their heads to receive this divine grace.
The setting sun descended, the smoke clouds and thunder fires on the mountain dissipated.
The believers rose, placing the two contracts shining with collected light back into the Holy Cabinet.
In fact, the mud tablet engraved with the Ten Commandments and Divine Scripture was no ordinary item but the Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet from Babylon.
Because only objects bearing fate can disturb fate.
Luo En raised his eyes, looking toward the vaguely visible Canaan border:
“Let’s go, I should take you home.”
The crowd cheered collectively, wearing the same old clothes in the style of Canaan, carrying the Holy Cabinet containing the covenant, following in the footsteps of Prophet Moses, embarking on the long-desired journey home.
It was not only the legendary Canaan but also the once Babylon.
In the crowd, Pandora frowned slightly, hesitantly looking at Luo En, whispering:
“Sir, now whether it’s Canaan or Babylon, both have already become the territory of the Persian Empire. Will they agree to take us in?”
Luo En replied indifferently, his voice not loud but extremely assured.
Days later, in Babylon, within a majestic Persian palace.
Cyrus closed the manuscript in his hand, gazing playfully at the elderly man in the court holding a wooden staff:
“You are Moses? You want to see me?”
Luo En nodded in answer, likewise showing interest in observing Cyrus on the throne.
He was tall and sturdy, his robust stature imposing, with a short beard meticulously trimmed, the contours of his jaw as strong as if chiseled by a knife. The Persians’ unique olive-colored skin exuded a healthy aura, with thick black curls draping the shoulders, his forehead adorned with a gold headband inlaid with Lapis Lazuli. Beside the deep-hooked nose were keen amber eyes, their pupils showing strange golden patterns under the light, demonstrating divine grace.
Moreover, he wore a purple-trimmed white linen long robe, a lion-headed gold belt with embedded rubies fastened around his waist, a crimson cape symbolizing the King’s Authority draping his left shoulder. His broad palms bore calluses from sword practice, with a pale scar diagonally on his left brow bone, adding a touch of iron-blooded experience from battled times to his refined face. And on his right hand’s ring finger, he wore a silver ring engraved with Persian characters:
