Chapter 40 "Some of you will betray me"
Arriving at the manor at night, they arrived just in time for the Last Supper, which was none other than Moses, the devout believer from years past.
Forty years have passed since he killed two Egyptian soldiers, was betrayed by his own people, and fled Memphis in shame.

During those forty years, he married and had children in Midian, and under the guidance of the divine messenger, he gained a clear understanding of the path of faith, which can be described as extremely fulfilling.
But sometimes, in the dead of night, I still think back to the days I spent in the "Putta" school.
Now, by the will of God, he went to see the Egyptian Pharaoh in Thebes and led his people out of Egypt.
This was his mission, which Moses had solemnly accepted under God's guidance.
However, before meeting the Egyptian Pharaoh, Moses wanted to fulfill his personal wish—to see his teacher, Ptah, one more time.
On the way, he had already heard that the "Putta" school had been suppressed by priests and nobles for the past nine years.
Even the teacher, "Buda," had to wander outside for nine years, and almost all of his disciples left, making it a far cry from the lively scene of the past.
Moses held a staff blessed by "God," which he could use to ask the "messenger of God" any questions he might have.
He had assumed that the "divine messenger" would not answer him when he asked about the whereabouts of his teacher, "Buda."
Unexpectedly, the "messenger of the gods" answered and told him to go to the manor in Memphis as quickly as possible, so that he might be able to see his teacher one last time before he died.
Moses was extremely anxious, and the octogenarian ran tirelessly until he finally arrived.
When Moses saw his teacher "Putta" again, he was filled with emotion but didn't know what to say.
Ultimately, his current beliefs and convictions are related to the "Putta" school, but are fundamentally different from it.
The concept the teacher conveyed is that the essence of the world is not a specific existence, but exists between existence and non-existence, possessing both feelings and indifference.
In the true nature of the world, all gods, humans, livestock, and even plants are equal, without distinction of superiority or inferiority.
But by this time, Moses had already made up his mind and regarded the "self-existent and eternal God" as the essence of the world.
The instructions of "God" are everything; the thoughts of "God" are what he does.
"Some of you will turn away from me."
As Moses hesitated, unsure how to begin, "Putta" suddenly uttered these words.
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became strange.
Moses thought the person was talking about him, so he lowered his head in shame and didn't look to the side.
He was unaware of this; Dionysus was astonished, wondering why his teacher had suddenly said such a thing.
Mi stared at the meat on the table, looking very hungry;
Sekhmet held the child in his arms, his eyes constantly glancing at the other newly arrived "homeless" people.
The unfamiliar "homeless person" looked up at the dilapidated dome, as if something on it was very attractive to him;
Hatshepsut stared blankly, his gaze somewhat vacant, seemingly lost in thought.
Amon and the Mutts looked at each other, as if incredulous.
Their child, Kons, had already secretly clutched a piece of meat in his hand, looking very nervous;
Only the "Desperate One" looked at each of his fellow disciples with his deep eyes, wanting to know who had betrayed their teacher's teachings.
"Hehe, it's alright, don't worry about it too much. My teachings should never become an obstacle on your future path. Let's begin our meal."
Aroha raised his cup first, inviting everyone to drink together.
Even the two children dipped their spoons in the alcohol.
His comment was simply a casual remark made because he felt a strange sense of familiarity with the situation.
Aroh didn't care about betrayal or not.
After the meal, Arahu first instructed Amun's family to go to Thebes after his death, and then arranged for Despair and Hatshepsut to follow Sekhmet and his mother.
Then it was Dionysus' turn, and Aroha said, "You have been away from home for many years; it is time for you to return."
"I'll go back after I've seen what's going on here."
As a god from another world, although he had seen and experienced much in the Egyptian world, he still needed to return to his own world if he wanted to truly grow.
In fact, let alone Dionysus, he had almost no chance of becoming the chief god in the Egyptian world.
Even if he were to become a supreme god here by sheer luck and possess his own divine realm, he would still be no match for the other supreme gods upon returning to Olympus.
The most important reason for this is—power.
Not all deities, even those before or before the supreme god, can have their authority vested in themselves like Aroh.
Most deities' authority requires the grace of heaven and earth, or the bestowal of power by more powerful deities such as god-kings or rulers.
After persuading Dionysus to return home as soon as possible, Araha's gaze turned to Mi.
Without Aroha needing to speak, Mi said directly, "Teacher, after you die, I will follow the 'God of Miracles' of this world. Don't worry about me."
Aroha was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "That place isn't very safe, you should be careful."
"Don't worry, teacher, my life is really not precious at all. I can die at any time."
After Midu said this, Aroh said nothing more.
As Araha was about to end his life as a "preacher" and return to the divine, he also began to want to understand this mysterious young disciple.
Let him come along, and see where he comes from and what his background is.
The priestess Hatshepsut glanced at Mi with envy; she too longed to follow "God" to the side.
But "God" had already given her instructions, and she dared not disobey.
After saying all that, only the last two people who arrived remained, and Araha did not speak to them.
He first looked at Moses with a smile: "Moses, you have found your way, and I am very pleased."
"You have your own destiny, you don't need my guidance, just move forward."
"The only thing I can tell you is that when you feel lost about the future, don't forget your roots and the road you came from."
Moses nodded: "I understand, teacher."
At this moment, apart from the boy Mi whom he did not recognize and Amon's son Kons, everyone's eyes were on him.
The gazes of the teacher's "wife," Sekhmet, and the "homeless man" were particularly striking, instilling in him a nameless fear from the depths of his heart.
He instinctively gripped his cane tighter, a firm belief rising in his heart, and all fear vanished.
"Homeless person, old friend living on this red land, can you tell me why you also call me teacher?"
After exchanging a few words with Moses, Aroha looked at Set, the god of storms, without revealing his identity to his disciples.
Those who know, needless to say; those who don't, there's no need to deliberately try to know, as it's meaningless to them.
