Among the many god systems that Abel knew, the Sumerian gods treated their people with the best treatment. Perhaps it was not reflected in the system.
However, the gods used their own power to make Sumer a " gentle land " where they could harvest food by sowing seeds.
At the peak of the Divine Era, this was a blessing for the people of Uruk. However, after the disappearance of the gods, what kind of effect would the cause created by the gods turn into?
Now, Uruk was suffering the consequences!
Uruk's farmland suddenly suffered a poor harvest. The wheat in the farmland suddenly turned yellow and lifeless overnight. The trees also stopped growing and bearing fruit in a day. After being cut down, they did not return to their original state the next day.
The farmers and hunters looked at them in panic. They couldn't understand what was happening.
Why does farmland need care?
Why did the wheat die?
Why do trees need to be planted?
Why can't the fruit bear?
Shouldn't these things be given by the gods?
Did God abandon them?
Or did their actions anger God?
Or was it some kind of demon or monster?
Fear turned their ignorance into ignorance, and ignorance pushed them to carry out the most primitive sacrificial activity-living sacrifice.
Fortunately, Gilgamesh stood up to stop them this time.
The gods have not abandoned you. All of this is just natural.
Even Gilgamesh, who had always been speculating about the gods with the greatest malice, understood that the gods and humans were bound together. Now that the chain between the gods was about to be broken, they would definitely not do such a meaningless thing.
However, it was not wrong to say that God had abandoned them. The era was progressing. From the first generation to the second generation, the most obvious thing was that it was difficult for the gods to descend to the mortal world.
Gaia's Originator had been damaged by the destruction of the Wandering Star. It had to gather most of the magic power in the natural environment to repair itself and allow itself to 'live'.
The era was changing, the era of gods was slowly fading, and the era of humans was inevitably rising.
Without the blessing of divine power and divine power, the growth of plants and the bodies of creatures began to become 'normal'. The decline of the natural environment was like the transformation from the age of dinosaurs to the present.
It was just that in the past, what changed was the oxygen content in the atmosphere. Now, what changed was the content of true aether in the natural environment and the influence of the gods incarnated by nature on the environment.
Under the change of times, people would inevitably feel lost and helpless, but this was ultimately the era of humans. Humans could get rid of the gods and embark on their own path.
This made Gilgamesh feel gratified.
But no matter what, the practical problem had to be solved first. Gilgamesh had to find a solution to the problem of resource shortage in Uruk City.
"This king is going to crusade against Finba and seize the right to use the Cedar Forest from her.”Gilgamesh said.
The cedar forest in the south was the first forest that was born from the legendary god Tiamat. There were inexhaustible natural resources and wild animals there. If they could obtain the cedar forest, not only would Uruk be able to get rid of the problem of resource shortage, but even the entire civilization of Sumer would be able to develop by leaps and bounds.
The development of human beings was always based on the demand of nature. However, the human beings of God's generation were given to them by the will of nature itself, while the human beings of human generation needed to seize nature themselves.
This was not an order given by the gods, nor was it a demand of the people. It was a choice made by Gilgamesh with his own will.
Plundering nature, attacking nature, obtaining their blood to strengthen themselves!
" Uruk didn't master the correct way to grow food because of the protection of the gods. Now that it has naturally declined, the problem has appeared.
No one even knows the most basic general knowledge of farming. I really don't know how you guys developed.”
Abel thought of his observations in Uruk over the past few months and complained.
"Because this place is different from the eastern kingdom you mentioned, Abel. They have escaped the control of the gods and can control their own fate.”
Enkidu said with narrowed eyes. There was a hint of longing and envy in his tone, which was what he and Gilgamesh wanted Uruk to look like.
Abel shook his head. The gods had limited Uruk's development, but they had also reduced the disasters they faced.
In the ancient east, the lack of gods meant that nature was violent. Perhaps because of a natural disaster, the people would lose everything.
"Looks like you've made up your mind. Don't forget about Fern Baba. She won't let humans harm the forest.”
Abel reminded Gilgamesh while glancing at Enkidu.
Abel was reminding Gilgamesh of the relationship between Enkidu and Finaba.
Even Inky noticed Abel's gaze. He understood what Abel meant. Fernbah was a divine beast of the gods, and he would not allow Gilgamesh to enter the Cedar Forest to plunder resources.
The relationship between Enkido and Finoba was complicated. They were like family and friends, but Enkido had to make a choice. Gilgamesh or Finoba!
If Gilgamesh and Inky had not known each other from the start and he had encountered such a problem, perhaps Inky would have hesitated.
Since Inky had chosen to participate in this discussion without hesitation, Abel knew what his choice was.
Finba would die, and even Enki would end Finba's life with his own hands.
In the end, Abel followed Enkidu and Gilgamesh to attack Finaba. Perhaps he could save Finaba's life.
Actually, there was another reason, and that was that he was taking care of Enkidu's feelings.
Even though Enki thought that he had hidden himself well, Abel, who had visited the Cedar Forest once, had actually seen Finoba. He had even talked to the mythical beast guarding the Cedar Forest.
How should he put it? How should he describe it? If Abel's words were used to describe how he felt when he first met Fernbar, it would probably be
An innocent monster, or rather, a monster with the mentality of a young girl.
It was a monster with the heart of a young girl. It was alone in the garden that had distorted the laws of the earth. It did not invade the outside world. It even began to talk to Abel, who had intruded.
From her words, Abel learned about the relationship between Enkido and her. It was like a foster mother and foster son, or rather, they were friends who relied on each other.
Enkidu's name had been kept in his hands for a long time, and it was also because of this that Enkidu's awakening was delayed for so long.
She had also asked Abel about Enkidu. When she heard that Enkidu had found two new friends, he looked sad and happy at the same time, which made her heart ache.
Such a human-like monster with an unsullied mind was rare, but from the perspective of the people of Uruk, Finaba was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to their access to resources and even survival.
If Uruk wanted to collect resources, he would have to destroy Fenba's garden and fight her to the death.
This was an irreconcilable conflict of life and death. Furthermore, Finaba was the divine beast of the gods, and was undoubtedly on the side of the Babylonian gods.
She would never allow Gilgamesh to break into her territory and seize the resources of the Cedar Forest, so in the end, only one of them would survive.
Enkidu understood why Abel had chosen to go.
He lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't know if he was thanking Abel or grieving over the choice between life and death.
Abel understood this, and so did Enkidu. He also had to make his choice between FinBaba and Gilgamesh.
Just as Abel had thought, Enkidu was very close to Finaba. The first life he saw when he first descended to the mortal world was Finaba.
The gentle monster that was as huge as a small mountain and could control the earth and the nature of the cedar forest was the first one Enkidu imitated.
Fern Baba was born kind, and in her domain, only natural cycles would occur, and no excessive killing would occur.
She would feel sad for the survival of the fittest among animals, but she would never interfere with the laws of nature. It was natural for tigers and lions to hunt antelopes and bison because it was inevitable in the food chain.
However, she rejected hunting, human hunters, and the civilization they developed.
Fernbaba would definitely not tolerate Gilgamesh's exploitation of the Cedar Forest. There would definitely be a battle between the two, and in the end, there would only be one victor.
On the day she had taken him away, Finba had been so reluctant to part with him, but she knew that this was Enkidu's fate, and also the inevitable decision of the gods.
She spent three days to weave a garland and personally put it on Enkidu's head, looking at him nervously.
"I'll give you the wreath. I hope you like it. And Enkidu, I'm sorry for taking your name.”
Where is the garland now?
Inky couldn't even remember.
Perhaps he had already lost it when he ran away excitedly from the Cedar Forest!
He chose humans and civilization, abandoning beasts and the jungle. Between clothes and garlands, he chose the former.
Just like between a man and a weapon, Enki had made himself a man, even though he knew it was impossible.
And between Gilgamesh and Fernbah, it was needless to say who would Inky choose.
Abel looked at Enkidu and knew his answer.
He didn't make any comments. He just drank the wine in the golden cup in one gulp and turned to leave the palace.
The big shots knew how to sacrifice, how to make a big deal out of a small matter, how to weigh the pros and cons, and how to choose right from wrong.
However, it was only to prevent some tragedies, but it was not a big deal.
