When the insect ape's lifespan was about to end and Gilgamesh died of old age, he used his Power Blood and returned to his young body. He lived a second life and returned to being the brave and hot-blooded Hero King of his youth. He led the tribe to war once again.
Time passed by another ten years.
The settled tribe had experienced many generations. The wooden houses they used were decaying and damaged. Hence, under Gilgamesh's lead, they began to build houses with stones and officially entered the Stone Age to fight against the giant beasts.
Gilgamesh, with the termite gene, could easily uproot a hundred-year-old tree that required four people to wrap their arms around. With a light leap, he could reach a height of seven to eight meters. He also had the strength to move mountains.
He led the people to fight against the behemoths and fought continuously. Finally, after thirteen years, his momentum reached its peak and he chose to challenge the most terrifying beast in this land. It was said to be the strongest hundred-meter-tall beast, the legendary giant beast, Finba!
The giant beast Finbar crawled on the ground like a towering mountain.
Its body traversed the entire Smikal Forest.
Its breathing in sleep was enough to form a gust of wind in the lush giant forest. Countless giant trees swayed with it.
Its breath was enough to blow away the Ala giant beast.
It was also the terrifying giant beast that Xu Zhi had seen previously. It was the giant beast that looked like a kitten.
It was the ruler of the entire giant beast era.
The war lasted for three days and nights. The ground cracked, the canyon collapsed, and countless giant beasts fled from the forest.
On this day, Gilgamesh was bathed in blood. His body was fit and healthy. He held the Sword of Damocles in one hand and dragged the corpse of the hundred-meter giant beast Finbar in the other.
With the strength of one hand, he could actually drag the corpse of the hundred-meter giant beast Finbar that was comparable to a towering mountain. This made the people of the tribe proud and extremely shocked.
Countless people wrote songs of praise for him, praising his strength. This was the strongest Hero King in history.
"I want to build a nation."
The moment he returned, he looked at the people of the Stone Age tribe and suddenly said so.
The tribe was in an uproar!
They cried tears of joy and hugged each other. They clearly knew that under the leadership of this great and handsome Sumer Hero King, the days of wandering were over. They no longer had to fear the giant beasts.
A new era of civilization had begun!
History was written by the victors. Gilgamesh did not record the atrocities of murdering his son. Instead, he recorded his heroism in "Founding Era."
The history of the Sumerian dynasty recorded:
[Gilgamesh drank the blood of power, slew the legendary beast Finbar with his sword, established the Sumerian Dynasty, moved the boulders around, and built the first city in history, Uruk.]
Time continued to elapse.
The invincible Gilgamesh began to devote himself to developing civilization.
He was diligent, valiant and charismatic, yet insufferably tyrannical.
He created money, perfected the language, built cities, and cruelly divided people into different classes. He established slavery and wasted resources. He sent a large number of warriors to explore the borders of the world.
He was the heroic king of the people, but he was also a tyrant through and through.
In the 87th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, Gilgamesh was 127 years old.
Uruk Royal City finally reached a terrifying population of tens of millions.
Countless slaves traded here, and even built a colosseum. The nobles let the slaves fight with the beasts, and they laughed and laughed heartily.
The people of the tribes had already passed away. After almost a hundred years, their descendants did not remember the hardships and struggles of their ancestors, and they gradually decayed with ease.
However, the Sumer King was still as valiant as ever.
In the dark and gloomy Uruk Royal Palace.
The arched roof was carved with intricate patterns, and the snow-white wall lamps shone a faint light. On both sides of the roof were circular stone pillars carved with golden patterns, and on the floor was a bright red carpet made from the fur of powerful beasts.
A tall and handsome man sat calmly on an exquisite throne made of white bones. Beside him was the legendary sword that never left his side, the Sword of Damocles.
"The great Sumer King, the ruler of the city! Your Majesty Gilgamesh!! We have explored the entire land. "Dionysius, the minister of the palace, bowed slightly and enthusiastically recounted what he had seen over the years.
"What is our world like?"
Gilgamesh's body was as handsome as a Greek statue. He sat on the throne made of the giant beast, Finbar, and it was as if he could see through the endless blue sky outside the palace.
The brave warriors who explored the world had traveled from all directions, and it took them more than 20 years to complete a round trip. There were countless casualties, and only today did they know the shape of the entire world.
Throughout the history of Earth, all the great kings of ancient times had a strong desire for knowledge and ambition about the world.
Dionysius respectfully and exaggeratedly gestured, "In our world, the sky is round, and the earth is square.
The sky is an infinitely high arc, and the ground is a perfect square.
In the center is a huge ocean, and around it are mountains and rivers.
On this boundless land, it would take more than 20 years to ride the fastest beast, Vinci, and walk to the edge of the world at full speed … "
After a moment of silence, the greatest king in the world said, "Alright, you may leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dionysius got up and left.
He suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at their king with longing and worship. This great hero king led them out of the cave, opened up the tribal farming era, walked into the Stone Age, and now entered the City-State era.
He slaughtered the most terrifying giant beast king, Finbar, and led civilization after civilization.
More than 30 years ago, when Dionysius was still a young man, a famous ranger in the city, he was summoned to the palace by His Majesty and ordered to investigate the entire geographical location. He was given a lifetime mission by the king — to draw the geographical map of the city.
Until 30 years later, when he returned to Uruk Royal City again and completed the mission, he was no longer a young man, but a trembling old man with cloudy eyes. He did not have long to live.
But His Majesty was still young.
Just like when he was a ranger, he had an extremely handsome and perfect face, as if time had never left a trace on his face.
"What a great monarch he is!"
Dionysius's body trembled, filled with fanaticism.
For more than 100 years, His Majesty's power had not been used, and his strength was already unknown to what extent. Perhaps in the future, this immortal king would lead the people of the Sumer into the next era of civilization.
"In our world, the sky is round and the earth is square."
When the palace was empty, Gilgamesh sighed for a long time, then slowly pulled out the holy sword that he had carried with him all these years, the Sword of Damocles. The body of the sword was exquisite, and it emitted a cold steel light.
He gently stroked it with his fingers, as if it was his lover who had accompanied him for countless years.
"I have mastered the power of the torch, and I have completely understood the use of the Power Blood. As for the Sword of Damocles … I have searched the entire world, but I can't find out how it was made."
Gilgamesh whispered, stroking the body of the sword in shock. "What material is this? What kind of giant beast is it? Or is it some kind of civilization? "
Unfortunately, this world was not the real world.
There were no mineral veins, no copper mines, no iron mines, and all kinds of ores. Xu Zhi did not deliberately bury them either. This place was originally an ordinary farmland and orchard, and there was only soil under the ground. Therefore, they could only forever remain in the Stone Age. In their understanding of the world, the word "metal" never existed.
To this world, this shiny, hard, and indestructible material was mysterious, powerful, and unique.
"I have searched the end of the world, but I still can't find that great intelligent giant beast. Where in the world does he live?" Gilgamesh took a deep breath.
The civilization that the intelligent giant beast had was hard to fathom.
This weapon that was gifted to him, the Sword of Damocles, was like a treasure to him. The holy sword that opened up the entire civilization was also a warning to him.
He had only mastered a part of the power of this civilization, and the rest was unknown. For example, the secret of how this sword was made made made him feel deep fear and tremble!!
The Sword of Damocles was like a hanging sword, the tip of the sword hanging high above his head.
This sword gave him the power of civilization. It was powerful, mysterious, and allowed him to open up a new era of glory. However, it was extremely dangerous. The tip of the sword could fall at any time, and he could lose his life.
"The power of civilization … it really makes one yearn for it."
He sat on the throne, like a sleeping lion. His eyes slowly looked into the distance, as if he was looking through the distant forest of a hundred years ago. For a long time, he saw the great figure that he had met in the past. It was an enormous giant that was tens of thousands of feet tall. His body was covered in a snow-white radiance, and he was born holy. His wide hands held his young self, looked down at the mountains and rivers, and gave him the three treasures of civilization.
"Unfortunately, my life is coming to an end again. The Power Blood is no longer useful to me. I want to live a third life … great intelligent giant beast, I want to see you again!"
