    The envoys of the gods were all stunned by this scene. They stood there and stared at Metazord in the sky. Although they did not fully understand the meaning of "the test of fate and the judgment of the end", they also knew that this was the transcendence of mortals.  The final test of eternal life, for which these divine messengers both yearn for and fear.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We are fortunate to receive the guidance of the gods, who does not aspire to become a god?  But on the other hand, they have reached the ninth level of original power and seem to have an endless life in the world. Once the final test comes, they are likely to die.  So when the gods saw this scene with their own eyes, the shock to their souls was indescribable, and they almost forgot where they were.

    The terrifying aura permeating the gray vortex prevented even the gods from approaching. They found the gods on the top of the mountain in a daze, and hurriedly drank in their souls: "Ignore Medanzo, chase Am¨Śng!"

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Am¨Śng has already gone down the mountain. He is very aware of Metanzo's situation. Whether it is death or entering the kingdom of heaven, this disciple has been separated from the battle at the moment, and others can't help him much.  There was no point in watching him here, and then his body turned into a faint golden light and walked through the dense forest, heading straight to the foot of the mountain.

    It was only then that the gods came to their senses and continued to pursue them in formation along the ridge. No one dared to stay away from each other.  With just such a delay, Am¨Śng had already gone down the mountain and walked through the dense forest.  A farm unexpectedly appeared on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. Surrounded by mountains and forests, there were scattered houses and terraces of various sizes. There was no traffic, and a few low barks of dogs could be heard from time to time. It was a quiet pastoral scene at night.

    Although there are no walls in this manor, Am¨Śng's senses seem to have passed through an invisible boundary like water. There is a space magic array covering it, but it does not include the meaning of attack or obstruction, it is just a demarcation.  But the strange thing is that as soon as he entered here, the state of being locked by the detection magic disappeared inexplicably, which meant that Am¨Śng was out of the fighting state and could step into the void and leave at any time.

    I see!  This should be the Pythagoras Manor. Am¨Śng finally understood why Schr?dinger reminded him of such a place and hinted him to go in this direction after leaving Delphi.

    The pursuing gods stopped outside the invisible dividing line and watched Am¨Śng walking towards the farm, all showing expressions of relief.  This seems to be a realm that they cannot enter. Not only can no one enter, but even the detection of divine magic cannot be prying into.

    But all the envoys of the gods breathed a sigh of relief, as if they wished that the god of murder could escape into the Pythagoras Manor, so that they would not have to chase after him.  Of the twenty-four divine envoys who had set up an ambush, only eleven were left, and Metanzo unexpectedly faced the final test. All these divine envoys were frightened, and at the same time they felt their spirits were waning.

    High in the sky, Elena frowned deeply and said angrily: "Am¨Śng entered the Pythagoras Manor! It was the traitor Artemis who reminded him!"

    Hermes said with a stern face: "Zeus and Pythagoras have an agreement that the gods and their envoys are not allowed to enter the Pythagoras Manor, but Am¨Śng is a god, but he can leave the world at any time from there. What should we do?  what to do?"

    Yalena pondered: "It seems like Am¨Śng is leaving. Could it be that he is looking for Pythagoras? Even Pythagoras can't protect the enemies of the Olympus pantheon! Am¨Śng  He has violated the cooperation agreement with Zeus, refused to negotiate a new agreement, and killed thirteen demigods in a row. It is time for the Father of the Gods to step forward and do something."

    A gray vortex accompanied by black lightning appeared on the top of the distant mountain. Although no sound was made, a terrifying aura that made the soul tremble permeated the world inexplicably. Many people in the farm woke up from their sleep and started to panic.  He stood up and walked out the door, looking at the sky above the mountain in the distance.

    Am¨Śng was also brave enough. He did not take this opportunity to step into the void. Instead, he turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at Medanzuo in the distance.  When the stars in the sky finally shone on the sky again, the gray vortex slowly receded, enveloping Metanzo's figure into immortal eternity.  Medanzo was seriously injured, but he finally passed the test. Am¨Śng also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and continued walking towards the farm.

    It was then that we saw that this manor was unusual. The residents in the manor were all dressed up as ordinary farmers. Although they looked shocked, they did not react in a panic. They did not run around making noises, but stood at the door.  Watching in front of me, occasionally whispering.  When the gray vortex disappeared from the sky, these people closed the door and went back to sleep, ignoring that Am¨Śng who entered here was still standing on the road.

    Am¨Śng knows that the gods in the sky have not left yet, but he doesnĄŻt know why the Olympian gods and their envoys cannot enter here?  He became more curious about Pythagoras. Since Schr?dinger guided him here, of course he wanted to meet this person. He was about to find someone to ask, butThe farmers all closed their doors and went home to sleep, seemingly turning a blind eye to this stranger who "intruded" late at night.

    In the middle of the night, it was the first time I came to this mysterious Pythagoras Manor. I didnĄŻt want to disturb peopleĄŻs dreams by knocking on the door from door to door, so Am¨Śng continued walking deeper into the manor.  This place is different from ordinary villages. The houses in ordinary villages are basically clustered together. The residents are rich and poor, and the courtyards are of different heights. However, the houses here are scattered and there is no obvious difference between them.  Bad times come.

    Am¨Śng looked around and didn't find what looked like the manor owner's mansion. Instead, he saw a person in front of him who hadn't entered the house yet and was still standing outside the door looking at him.  Finally he could find someone to ask, so he walked forward quickly.

    The light was very dim, but with Am¨Śng's eyesight, he could still see the man's description clearly, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled. What he originally planned to ask was, "Is this the Pythagoras Manor? How can I meet the owner of this place?"  "But when he came closer and spoke, it turned out to be: "Mr. Pythagoras, why are you standing here?"

    Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man with a medium build, barefoot and wearing a robe. He had long hair and a beard. His thick beard hung down to his chest. His long hair was tied up like a turban. His nose and eyebrows were high and deep.  The eyes are like the stars in the night.  Am¨Śng has never seen Pythagoras, so why can he recognize him at a glance?  Because Aesop has seen it.

    When the soul comes to heaven, it is not a living creature, but the imprint of knowledge in this life. The so-called heaven is the underworld created by Am¨Śng. After receiving Aesop's soul, he will naturally understand everything Aesop knows.  Compared to mortals, gods like Am¨Śng are almost omniscient.

    Aesop met Pythagoras when he was a boy, and his soul mark contains the scene at that time. Am¨Śng will naturally recognize this man when he sees him again.  What surprised Am¨Śng was that many years had passed, and Pythagoras' appearance had almost remained unchanged. He looked the same as when Aesop saw him, and he still looks the same now, except that he had grown his hair and beard.

    Pythagoras replied: "I'm waiting for you to ask for directions, am¨Śng. Since you have got rid of the pursuers, why didn't you leave?"

    Am¨Śng: "Since I'm here, of course I want to visit you. I originally planned to find someone to find out where you live, and then come to see you after dawn, but I didn't expect to meet you directly.  I just feel strange, Olympus Zhu  Why canĄŻt God enter this manor?Ąą

    Pythagoras smiled: "I have an agreement with Zeus that the gods of Olympus and the envoys they guide cannot enter this manor. But I can't protect enemies of the gods here. You just said  I know everything you did. If you stay here, Zeus himself will come looking for you sooner or later. You come to me, and I also want to see you. Come in and talk before Zeus arrives."

    Pythagoras opened the door and invited Am¨Śng into the room. As he walked, he said: "I didn't have any rest today, so I waited here specially for you, and you came as expected."

    This room is ordinary, but after entering the door, I find it is very mysterious. The space is much larger than it looks from the outside. It is a hall that can accommodate dozens of people for gatherings. However, it is empty inside without any furnishings. The walls and floor are all empty.  Appears very clean.  There was a curtain on the other side of the hall, and two people stood beside the curtain. Pythagoras led Am¨Śng straight through the hall, and the two men opened the curtain.

    Behind the curtain is an ordinary wooden table with stools beside it and an unlit oil lamp on the table.  Pythagoras walked through the curtain and came to the table and said: "Margus and Enx, please go and guard outside the door. An angry person will come to visit later. Let me know first, don't  Let him barge in and interrupt my conversation with the guests."

    Although there was no introduction, when Am¨Śng walked through the hall, he sensed the auras left by many people here, activated the retroactive magic invisibly, and got a general understanding of the situation here.

    Pythagoras Manor is a different world from the outside. The residents here are members of a group.  To join this group, you need to swear an oath to abide by the group's discipline and keep the group's secrets.  This kind of mortal oath is different from the oath taken by divine messengers or gods to join a pantheon. It is just a kind of self-discipline of the members.  And this group also has various disciplines and regulations, some of which have far-reaching meanings, and some of which may seem mysterious but have no real meaning.

    Members here have equal status regardless of gender, and there is no distinction between nobles, commoners, and slaves. The means of production in the manor are publicly owned, and everyone needs to participate in the work.  They are a group with common philosophical beliefs and research ideals, and they have very high requirements for members, and you cannot join just because you want to.

    If you want to become a member of this group, you must pass inspections and tests. First, you must see whether your beliefs are firm and whether you have mastered a certain theoretical level. Finally, you must pass a "spiritual purification" ceremony before you can become a formal member.

    This kind of "soul purification" ritual, in??m¨Śng seems very similar to awakening the power of origin, but has unique requirements for members' philosophical beliefs and ways of viewing the world.  Some people awakened the original power during the ceremony, while others passed the ceremony without awakening the original power.

    How to put it, for example, Aesop has not awakened the original power in this life, does not know magic, physical skills, and does not possess magical power. But according to Am¨Śng's feeling, if Aesop could have received the guidance of this group back then, through  This "spiritual cleansing" ritual is not difficult.  Nominally, the members of this group are all disciples of Pythagoras, but it is not easy for Am¨Śng to directly meet Pythagoras himself.

    As formal members of the group, they can listen to Pythagoras teach various knowledge through the curtains in this hall; after several years of hard training, when various qualities reach a certain level, they can see Pythagoras.  Dagoras himself.  And such a person, from Am¨Śng's understanding, is at least a great achiever in terms of spiritual enlightenment.

    WhatĄŻs interesting is that Pythagoras also worked with other people in the manor on weekdays, but those who couldnĄŻt see him couldnĄŻt see him.

    The two people who were holding up the curtains in the room just now should be extremely accomplished disciples. They have learned and passed on Pythagoras' knowledge and ideas, and have their own understanding and interpretation. They can communicate with Pythagoras on weekdays.  Direct communication, various discussions and questioning.  And the Copernicus whom Aesop had met had negative numbers on his fingers because he touched the sacred stone many times. He was a slave outside, but his achievements in the manor were also quite high, otherwise he would not have been able to do it in Bi.  Dagoras accompanies him when he goes out.

    Walking through the hall, Am¨Śng learned so much through his breath induction, and he couldn't help but become more curious about the identity and origin of Pythagoras.  And Pythagoras greeted: "Am¨Śng, please sit down! The last time a guest sat here was a long time ago."

    Am¨Śng sat down and said, "Who was the guest who sat here last time?"

    Pythagoras replied: "His name is Plato. You should have heard of it and know his student Aristotle. After the death of his teacher Socrates, Plato visited me here and discussed with me  He wrote "Utopia". Although he is not a member here, he can still be regarded as my student. "

    As he spoke, the sage stretched out his hand to light the oil lamp on the table, and inadvertently exposed his arm from the sleeves of his robe.  Am¨Śng's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but stand up and said: "You, you, are you the creator god in the legend of Heaton Prometheus!"

    I saw Pythagoras wearing an iron ring on his left arm, with a broken thin chain on it, and a stone locked at the end.  It looks like a decorative bracelet, but the stone is only the size of a fingernail, and is just a very ordinary gray mountain stone.  This sage has no extra decorations on his body, so why is he wearing such a strange bracelet?  Am¨Śng couldn't help but think of the play "Prometheus" that he had watched in Yalun.

    In that human drama, Prometheus was an ancient god in the Olympian pantheon, and human legends even hinted that he was a creator god.  This god came into conflict with Zeus and brought fire to the living beings on earth.  According to Am¨Śng, the fire in the drama is actually a metaphor, alluding to the path to transcendence and immortality.  ro!  .
