Chapter 1187: King's Treasury

As Jinian said, it was very limited to extract effective information from these archives, and information related to Gilgamesh was even scarcer.

According to the archives, before Gilgamesh ascended to the throne as the fifth king of Uruk, he already possessed divine realm combat power, and had cultivated his own embryonic form of law.

After ascending to the throne, Gilgamesh quickly perfected this embryonic law form, and with two-thirds of divine blood flowing in his body, he officially stepped into the ranks of Chief Gods. The only regret was that he still had one-third human blood in his body, and this part of his blood determined his lifespan, which could only be like an ordinary person, just a hundred years.

Also creating his own law, but stepping into divinity with a human body, Gilgamesh and Zhou Ping had fundamentally different circumstances.

The reason Gilgamesh could create laws, carry them with his physical body, and ultimately enter the divine realm, besides his extraordinary talent, was most importantly the two-thirds divine blood flowing in his body.

Strictly speaking, he was never purely human, but a special existence between human and god.

Zhou Ping, on the other hand, was completely human.

If Ye Fan hadn't used the [Destiny Pearl] containing the power of [Destiny Buddha] to forcibly call back his soul after his transformation into the Dao, and then used the [Dragon-Elephant Sword] as a vessel, doused it with national fortune, and recast his divine body, Zhou Ping would never have achieved becoming a Great Xia Sword Immortal.

Now Zhou Ping was no longer human either—his physical body was no longer flesh and blood, but the [Dragon-Elephant Sword] that carried the sword law.

After Gilgamesh became a god, relying on his special law, he leaped from a half-god's body to become an overwhelming existence capable of suppressing the vast majority of Chief Gods of divine nations. Later, he used national strength to extensively search for divine artifacts and treasures in the mortal realm, casting a King's Treasury.

What exactly was in the King's Treasury was not detailed in the archives, but it could be certain that there were definitely more than one top-tier divine artifact stored inside.

Relying on his own strength and this terrifying King's Treasury, in that ancient period of history, Gilgamesh became a legend whose combat power infinitely approached the Supreme God, leading the entire Uruk to share world-wide glory.

After Gilgamesh's lifespan was exhausted and he died in the royal palace, the King's Treasury storing many divine artifacts also disappeared without a trace.

The archives also mentioned one thing—when the Oath Society's exploration team searched the royal tomb of Uruk, they did not find Gilgamesh's body inside. According to clues, as early as countless ages ago, an existence suspected to be a Sumerian god descended to the mortal realm and stole his body.

Could it be that behind Gilgamesh's loss of control were the gods of the Sumerian pantheon at work?

But hadn't they long declined and disappeared?

Lin Qiye walked along the streets of [Utopia], deep in thought.

It was already late at night, and the equipment on the dome simulating sunlight had dimmed, replaced by bright moonlight.

Flashing neon lights illuminated the core areas of the five city districts with dazzling brilliance. If not for the pixel-style buildings around him, Lin Qiye would have almost thought he had returned to Japan's "Human Enclosure" red-light district.

"Lin Qiye?"

A voice came from the other side of the street.

Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at the familiar figure, slightly stunned.

"Ninth Seat?"

The figure walked up to Lin Qiye, shaking his head with a smile: "I'm no longer the Ninth Seat for a long time... I'm a member of the Oath Society, just call me He Lin."

The one who came was none other than the Ninth Seat of the [Believers] from more than two years ago, the ace undercover operative of the Oath Society, who together with Shen Qingzhu had killed Yiyu and personally destroyed the entire [Believers].

After destroying the [Believers] that year, the Ninth Seat He Lin was sent to the hospital for treatment. Unexpectedly, after being discharged from the hospital, he returned to the Oath Society.

"You're visiting [Utopia]?" He Lin looked around, puzzled, "Why are you alone? Where are your brothers?"

"They... all have their own things to do, so I'm just wandering around." Lin Qiye smiled.

He Lin nodded, "I'm familiar with this place. Do you have time? Let's have a drink together?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye agreed.

It was too late now to directly go visit Jinian, after all, he had made a late-night visit just two days ago. A man and a woman having repeated late-night heart-to-heart talks was somewhat impolite.

Besides, at this hour, she should still be seriously studying.

Lin Qiye followed He Lin into a bustling and prosperous neon street, with bars, nightclubs, and barbecue stands应有尽有. Lin Qiye even saw a newly opened male host club in the central area.

"How about this place? This should be the liveliest nightclub in the entire [Utopia]. If you prefer something quieter, we can go to the izakaya next door."

He Lin pointed to a European-style bar ahead and said.

"This one is fine." Lin Qiye nodded.

He Lin seemed to be a regular here. A beautiful white female staff member greeted them and directly led them to a private booth on the second floor. After serving a few bottles of whiskey, she respectfully withdrew.

The two sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the bustling and heated dance floor below. They raised their wine glasses and gently clinked them.

"By the way, is Shen Qingzhu here? After leaving the [Believers], how is he doing?" He Lin seemed to remember something and asked.

"Not bad, but he's recently encountered some things." Lin Qiye answered vaguely.

He Lin raised an eyebrow and sighed, "What a pity. I was thinking I could have another drink with him..."

"There will be opportunities."

The two drank while chatting about their experiences over the years. After the [Believers] was destroyed, He Lin followed Jinian back to [Utopia] after the Egyptian gods' invasion two years ago, and then had been executing secret missions for the Oath Society in the mist. It could be said to have been a bumpy road.

Just as the two were chatting, in the noisy dance floor, the black female DJ with braided hair seemed to have received some information, raised both hands high, and cheered loudly:

"Tonight all expenses are paid by the guests at table A1!! Let's raise a toast and cheer for the two guests at table A1, shall we?!"

The restless crowd in the dance floor immediately erupted. Everyone turned to look at a certain booth. Two figures wearing masks were standing by the glass window, raising their glasses to the crowd on the dance floor.

Inside the booth, there were already more than a dozen beautiful women surrounding them, laughing, playing, and making a lively ruckus.

Seeing those two familiar Zhu Bajie masks and Sha Monk masks, Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly.

"Eh, those two people... why do they look a bit familiar?" He Lin stared at the two people in booth A1, speaking with confusion.

As if sensing He Lin's gaze, the two masked figures turned their heads simultaneously, looking toward this booth.

Their bodies both froze!

"Do you know them?" He Lin noticed them looking at Lin Qiye and asked in surprise.

Lin Qiye held his wine glass and silently sat back on the sofa:

"No, I don't know them."
