Chapter 0007: The Hero in Twilight
This hero has reached the end of his race. He has entered his old age. The rough and bold hero king who once wielded the sword of Damocles has now reached the end of his life.
Cancer requires attention to diet, especially gastric cancer. Delicious and nutritious foods like this make him enjoy eating so much that he becomes paralyzed, lying on the recliner in the yard, not wanting to move at all.
However, faced with her sympathetic and compassionate actions as a terminally ill patient, Xu Zhi accepted them without discrimination.
Plucking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, leisurely viewing the southern mountain.
In the treehouse crafted from trees, the flames in the fireplace burn fiercely, emitting waves of heat.
That is the wise behemoth, bestowing upon me the flame of civilization. It is so beautiful and magnificent, like a leaping fiery red stamen.
This short day is very short for paper, three meals, a nap, but for the sand table, it has been a long time, it has been a long hundred years, for the insect apes with an average lifespan of forty to fifty years, they have already passed the reproduction of two generations.
He is no longer dark and black, his whole body has turned into a snow-white haired insect-ape intelligent being.
At this moment, in the tribe, Gilgamesh's son, Kish's Aga, is standing on a high place. He raises the sword of Damocles high and declares his inheritance as the next leader of the next generation.
Next, Xu Zhi seemed quite comfortable, sitting with his legs crossed at the doorway of the house, watching the various scenes in the courtyard. "We've cleaned up a hundred mu of land to build the sand table, but there are still more than ten mu of leftover scraps on the side. Should we also clean up the weeds?"
Then he ran away, hopping and jumping.
Let me take a look! His heroic days are coming to an end. His turbid eyes flickered slightly, and in a moment of confusion, he recalled the glorious years of his life. Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes. Silently, he pierced his own arm and poured the blood of power into his wound.
This power is...
Xu Zhixiao smiled and said, "There's no way. The courtyard is large, so I casually cultivated a piece of land and planted some interesting seeds. Perhaps they can bloom into flowers that are so beautiful that people will be amazed."
The girl's craftsmanship is really good. Perhaps I am already a dead person, and she should take good care of me as a dying cancer patient, coming to bring me delicious food every day...
However, now it's different...
Gilgamesh has left his youth behind and entered his thirties.
Finally, she secretly added a sentence and gave Xu Zhi a sudden blow, "Before, you were so weak, but suddenly you became radiant, grew hair, and must have experienced a brief resurgence... I estimate that you won't live for many more days. Before I die, I must take good care of you."
Am I not the bravest warrior in the world
Egg in a Pouch, Carrot, Stir-fried Pork with Vegetables, Very Down-to-Earth, Swallowing a Big Bite, Instantly Feeling the Whole Mouth Filled with Fragrance, Extremely Refreshing.
Xu Zhiguang, bare-chested, set down his hoe and opened the door. Outside stood Chen Xiya, holding a pile of food and gazing at him, peering into the courtyard with great curiosity. "Oh? Are you tilling the land?"
After taking a short break, I began to do some miscellaneous tasks, while also cleaning up certain areas of the orchard.
The next day, Chen Xi, this round-faced girl, became addicted to delivering lunch boxes.
Shocking! A talented graduate from a foreign company resigned from a high-paying job with an annual salary of over ten thousand yuan due to a terminal illness and returned home to farm.
He slightly squeezed the sturdy skeletal armrest, instantly shattering it
In the second decade
At the age of thirty to forty, the lifespan of a bug monkey, Gilgamesh is already in his thirties.
Dong dong dong!
On this day, blood was shed, and the sounds of wailing echoed throughout the Sumerian tribe, as the hero king Gilgamesh committed patricide, reclaiming his position as leader and living a second life
Oh. Chen Xi curiously exhaled, patting his chest to assure, "Then you should farm well! If you want to eat something, just tell me! Aunt Li and I will cook it for you!"
Before long, a knock was heard at the door
Inside are meticulously prepared bento boxes
They have clearly documented the progress of their civilization
He is domineering, ruling with tyranny, yet possesses a remarkable charisma.
He has one hundred and thirty-one beautiful wives in the tribe, who bear him offspring, most of whom are strong and robust, inheriting his stature and wisdom
The skeletal remains and skulls of various colossal beasts, fierce, unyielding, powerful, and awe-inspiring, have all been conquered by him, these once invincible savage giants.
Tending to the fields, cultivating the land, living a life of utmost leisure in a tranquil farm setting, he has already begun to sense that kind of reclusive ambiance
After finishing the farm work in the yard, he was covered in mud, so he began washing clothes, wringing them out, and hanging each piece of clothing and underwear on the rope in the yard. "By the way, it's about time to get a washing machine in the city."
The exceedingly kind and beloved Kish's Aga, despite having sufficient respect for his own father, never contemplated usurping his position; Gilgamesh would not allow any potential threat to exist
"Yes, practice a bit to exercise the body." Xu Zhi picked up a towel to wipe her sweat; she could not see anything in the sand table, only thinking that she was plowing the land
Creak.
Even during the test tube stage of earlier species such as the insect ape, they were unable to accept and accommodate the second gene—the termite gene. Xu Zhi also entrusted this to him, indicating a profound expectation.
Now, after two generations, has that youthful insect-ape, who once passed on the torch of civilization, already passed away?
There is not.
Xu Zhi returned to the house, entered the kitchen, and began to boil water. He was thirsty and wanted to have a cup of tea
This creature, with its abundant body hair, resembles a Western individual in physique and is named Gilgamesh, after the mythical Western king, which clearly indicates Xu Zhi's high expectations for him
He is satisfied
The seeds of civilization have already been sown
Gilgamesh struggled to rise
The taste of my hometown
Kish's Aga, wise and formidable, possesses both talent and virtue. In contrast to his tyrannical and arrogant father, he resembles a qualified and benevolent leader. Gilgamesh is well aware of this, and thus, in his old age, he is willing to pass on his position to him, not wanting the tribal civilization he has established to perish.
He was arrogant and overbearing, believing himself to be unparalleled. The great beast of wisdom entrusted him with the three treasures of civilization. He understood that civilization is the inheritance of knowledge and history, and thus boldly pioneered the cuneiform script for recording the history of his people and innovated language
There is nothing left
... ...
Unbearable pain
Whether he can truly rise depends on himself
Hmm?
Chen Xi scratched his head, looking at Xu Zhi's upper body, the sharply defined muscle contours made his old face flush. He silently cursed, surely the photo editing was off. "Xu Zhi, the food is placed here! By the way, do you need help? I help my mom with transplanting rice seedlings at home. Your orchard has been neglected for a long time, right? Your orchard is over 100 acres, isn't it? Truly a wealthy landowner, and now you are all alone, you can't manage it at all!"
The next tribal chief has been determined to be my son, Kish's Agha. His abilities are no less than mine, and he is capable of leading the entire tribe to confront the great beasts and continue our glory
Pain
His life was splendid enough, extravagant enough
Delicious
He considers himself the first wise species to pave the way for a civilized world, documenting the history of his civilization in books, singing its praises, and shamelessly naming it "Genesis"
Staying at home to cultivate the land, with others bringing delicious food, taking care of this terminally ill patient, making him feel that the world is full of love, is there a more nourishing pastoral life than this
Gilgamesh sat calmly in the enormous chair woven from the fur of the great beast, gazing at the flames with a deep and distant gaze. His entire robust and towering body had grown old and sluggish. He turned his head to look at the heads of the great beasts hanging on the wall.
In the end, he survived death, stood up, and the abundant black hair all over his body gradually receded, revealing a solid chest with well-defined abdominal muscles. The dense black hair on his face faded away, unveiling a perfect visage akin to that of a celestial being.
The entire wall seems to document the glorious life of his battles.
He even utilized fire to burn the land, making it fertile, and began to cultivate, engaging in a rudimentary agricultural lifestyle
I have returned, Chief, still mine.
The tall young man with snow-white hair slowly stood up, "The blood of strength, what a magnificent power this is"
It is truly delightful
In the ten years following Xu Zhi's departure, Gilgamesh led the insect monkeys in their continued flight from danger
Xu Zhi contemplated for a moment and decided to take action, even though he had not fully thought through what to do with the remaining land
He realized his dreams from his youth
No need
The skin is delicate and translucent, resembling the clarity of a termite, as if a snow giant has emerged from a blizzard, with muscles that embody the golden ratio of Greek sculptures, possessing a strikingly impactful streamlined beauty
He gave Xu Zhi a great surprise
It is completely different now
This aged hero fell to the ground, having endured countless battles throughout his life, yet never had he rolled in such intense pain, gasping for breath
He was amazed that there could be such a magical source of fire in the world, that flames could cook food, that flames could drive away monstrous beasts at night, and that flames could provide warmth and maintain body temperature on cold nights
Gilgamesh clearly felt that his life was gradually approaching its end, and that death is an inevitable part of existence. He had almost resigned himself to this fate, silently taking out the blood of his strength from years past, and sighed: "All worries have been set aside. The wise giant said that only the bravest warriors in the world can consume this. If one can endure death, they will possess unparalleled power."
The remaining sword of Damocles, in this primeval giant forest, is an invincible weapon. Gilgamesh, wielding this sharp weapon, has slain countless monstrous creatures resembling the lewd egg-stealing dragon, allowing people to struggle for survival and begin to muster the strength to resist
If I grow hair, I will die
He became majestic and tall, leading the tribe, and became the most powerful hunter of the Insect Ape clan, revered by the people of the tribe as the Hero King
"What the hell, is this meal supposed to be my last supper? This girl is so insulting, and I'm only in the mid-stage of stomach cancer." Xu Zhi huffed angrily, glaring at the girl as he casually opened the lunch box.
The use of fire represents the origin of civilization
