9 Searching for the Age of the Giants

Unfortunately, at that time, Xu Zhi was eating and chatting with Chen Xi, while enjoying the delicious and nutritious farmer's meal. He was happy and teasing the girl, and had no spare time to pay attention to him... and he didn't want to. After all, even the mighty insect queen couldn't achieve immortality. Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to break through the barren land and reach the legendary longevity realm to search for the possibility of extending her life before her lifespan ended. No species can live forever.

Xu Zhi, who was a "farmer," was now suffering from terminal cancer, and he didn't know when his stomach cancer would reach its advanced stage, causing him to die suddenly, even without the happiness of a normal death.

"And this king of the land? He is really lucky, with a glorious and legendary life that will be written in the epic poems of future generations. I even envy him." Xu Zhi laughed.

He lived a legendary life that made even Xu Zhi jealous, with great achievements and accomplishments, he initiated the origin of civilization. In his tribe, he married over three hundred beautiful wives in his lifetime. What more could he regret?

Nothing.

If Xu Zhi could become small, he would even enter the story and enjoy a carefree and happy immortal life, but in his opinion, there was nothing to regret in such a life and death, especially for someone suffering from terminal illness like him. He was already very satisfied.

"Let's go, let's go to the city and buy a washing machine." Xu Zhi stood at the gate of the courtyard and touched his thick, black hair.

"Xu Zhi ge, you can ride on my electric bike!" Chen Xi smiled and scratched her head. "Actually, I have a lot of professional questions I want to ask you. After all, you are a senior in our school, and I'm also studying the same major as you!"

"Okay." Xu Zhi smiled.

He didn't buy a car since he only had a few hundred thousand savings from his previous job. After spending most of his savings on chemotherapy, he couldn't afford to buy a good car, and now he only had a bicycle in his courtyard. Therefore, he had to ride on the electric bike of this girl to go out.

Then, Xu Zhi and the girl rode the electric bike to the city and had a happy shopping trip. They bought electrical appliances to improve their rural life. After all, in this modern city, there were no electrical devices in their home, which made life difficult. He behaved very casually this time, thinking that Gilgamesh would be as calm as the first time.

If rebellion cannot defy aging, then one must silently accept death, just as he did with his decision to give up the piece of paper and enjoy the last moments of his life. However, he overlooked one thing: humans are creatures who are never satisfied once they have obtained satisfaction.

The first time he faced death, Gilgamesh almost resigned himself to fate. But after experiencing the fear and rebirth that came with dying a second time, he became ecstatic and began to fear death even more deeply. This heroic monarch wished to live a third life.

...

In the 102nd year of the Sumerian Dynasty, Gilgamesh was 142 years old. This legendary king, who had ruled for over a century and whose lifespan was three times that of an ordinary citizen, suddenly began to show signs of aging. He was completely shocked and enraged the world, issuing an edict to mobilize the entire country in search of the Wise Beast.

"A reward will be given to anyone who finds the trail of the Wise Beast!"

At the same time, he gathered all the talented and strange people from all over the world to begin concocting potions and studying black magic.

For a time, a large number of primitive beasts from the deep forests were slaughtered, and their horns, hearts, and various body parts were used for experimentation. Even the once-thriving Allalarge beast was almost wiped out as a result.

History entered the famous era of tyranny and city-states, where black wizards ran rampant.

In the 113th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, a palace black wizard used the horns of a Dora, juice from white beard grass, and organs from various beasts to create a longevity potion that successfully extended Gilgamesh's life. However, after several doses, it no longer worked, and he gradually began to deteriorate uncontrollably.

Death is inevitable for any living creature, even the greatest heroes!

In the 145th year of the Sumerian Dynasty, more than thirty years had passed. Gilgamesh felt that his life was rapidly deteriorating. The once-mighty old man sat on his throne, completely gray-haired and wrinkled all over. He sat calmly on the throne, not moving, and closed his eyes.

"My life is about to come to an end, but I don't want to die..."

After three days of meditation, he finally opened his old eyes and chose to submit to time, ordering,

"Select the next candidate for king!"

Boom!

The dynasty was in turmoil, and everyone was shaken.

"The great king is dying!"

"Even the immortal hero king Gilgamesh is approaching the end of his life?"

But no one dared to speak out for a while.

The last time Gilgamesh's life deteriorated, he made his most trusted son, Kish the Aga, the next leader, but after living a second life, he personally killed his beloved son.

Everyone was afraid of becoming the next Kish the Aga. If Gilgamesh could live again, he would surely kill the next generation of kings!

At this moment, Gilgamesh proved to be the wisest king and directly ordered:

"Candidates for the throne will receive the Blood of Strength! It will give them power comparable to mine, and they need not fear me! And, they will qualify to lead their own army and build the second capital city outside the palace."

Permission to build a city!

Bestowal of the Blood of Strength!

When this news came out, the entire country was shocked.

"The throne is mine!"

"I will be the second king of Sumeria!"

Countless merchants, slaves, commoners, nobles, and craftsmen flocked to the palace.

In the end, countless people died, even after undergoing trials, and were unable to bear the Blood of Strength. Only two individuals, Enkidu the Forest Warrior and Ishtar the Steppe Barbarian, survived and established two city-states.

The descendants of the two kings who possessed the Blood of Strength appeared, and they were about to alternate the throne and succeed the dying Gilgamesh, leading the next generation of Sumerian civilization.

-Civilization began with Gilgamesh, but it could not end with him.

175 years of the Sumerian dynasty.

Three royal cities coexisted, and three kings jointly governed the world, ushering in an unprecedented era of prosperity for Sumerian city-states. Suddenly, Gilgamesh felt that death had come completely, and he began to struggle.

He summoned craftsmen to build a temple and establish a Wisdom Beast Palace more exquisite than his own Uruk Palace, which housed the Wisdom Beast.

In the huge stone temple, a towering giant god statue held the young hero king Gilgamesh in one hand, overlooking the vast land with a slight downward gaze, radiating stunning white divinity all over.

On this day, he led all the ministers and millions of subjects to worship the Wisdom Beast, hoping that the great giant wisdom species would respond to his call.

"If I could see the Wisdom Beast again before I die, that great and mysterious wisdom species, then..."

Gilgamesh's old face was covered in tears.

88 years later, the dying Gilgamesh led the entire palace to worship the temple and begged to see the Wisdom Beast again:

"Great Wisdom Beast, Gilgamesh wants to see you again!"
