Meanwhile, in Cairo.
Kamul carefully handed a meticulously prepared report to Lin Ke: "Your Majesty, these are all countries that wish to join the Civilization Alliance."
Lin Ke glanced at them casually and then said, "Well, choose some of these countries that can actually reach trade cooperation with us, and put aside the others whose attitudes are ambiguous for now."
Cameron was momentarily at a loss, and he said in a flustered manner, "This...me?"
"This old minister is terrified, fearing he is not up to the task."
"In the past, you always made the decisions on these important matters."
Lin Ke smiled slightly: "Then why not let you decide this time?"
He has decided to gradually relinquish his power to the higher-ups in Holy Egypt, such as Kamul, Nantong, and the witch.
Now, Holy Egypt is about to enter the Renaissance period, and the work in all aspects will definitely become more demanding. It would be impossible for him to handle all these affairs alone.
Kamul said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to select the best candidates and will certainly not disappoint you."
Lin Ke nodded in satisfaction: "That's good. You can go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, this old minister takes his leave."
Lin Ke watched Camur's departing figure and couldn't help but ponder.
The number of people who responded to the decision to establish this Civilization Alliance was indeed beyond his expectations.
Those small and medium-sized countries, long oppressed, now have Holy Egypt to help them establish themselves, and they all want to seek another opportunity.
This presents a possibility for small and medium-sized civilizations to band together for mutual support and jointly confront those major powers.
The Civilization Alliance was modeled after the World Conference, yet it differs from the World Conference in many ways, which is certainly extremely disadvantageous to those major powers.
Because their main means of exploiting small countries is through world conferences.
But now those small countries they've been exploiting all want to go out and establish their own countries, which must be driving them crazy.
The more this is the case, the more necessary it is to unite numerous small and medium-sized countries; otherwise, it would be impossible for Holy Egypt alone to confront large countries like Gran Colombia, Greece, and Spain.
As Lin Ke was pondering his next plan, a figure suddenly appeared before him, looking worried.
He smiled at the man who had suddenly appeared: "Ramesses, what brings you here?"
Ramses stepped forward and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I have seen the prophecy once again."
Lin Ke's expression changed, because every time Ramses saw a prophecy, it was always about a major event, either involving an invasion by a foreign enemy or the discovery of traces of the awakening of the Supreme God.
So he hurriedly asked, "Ramesses, what did you see?"
A flicker of fear crossed Ramses' eyes: "I see countless sailboats turning the waters white on the bottomless, pitch-black sea."
"Dark clouds covered the sun, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a bolt of lightning struck the top of the pyramid, splitting it in two."
Lin Ke frowned upon hearing this; this scene did not seem like a good omen.
“Countless sailing ships at sea, does this mean that Holy Egypt is about to be invaded by the navy?” Lin Ke murmured.
Ramses nodded: "I think so, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"That's why I've come here specifically to remind you to pay attention to the defenses of the Holy Egyptian coast and to speed up the training of the navy."
Lin Ke nodded solemnly: "I understand. I have already been making preparations for coastal defenses."
"Go back now."
Ramses did not leave, but said, "Wait a moment, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, I have seen another prophecy."
Lin Ke said in surprise, "Seeing two prophecies in a row is really unusual."
Ramses said, "The second prophecy, I think, is about yet another supreme god of Holy Egypt."
Lin Ke was overjoyed: "Quick, tell me, what exactly did you see?"
Ramses paused for a moment, then slowly began to recount: "I saw that in the desert of Holy Egypt, a torrential rain fell, and the rainwater mixed with the sand to form a mud torrent."
"When the sandstorm raged, the whole of Holy Egypt was shrouded in rain, the buildings disappeared, and the people disappeared too."
"Boundless cheers resounded throughout Holy Egypt as people gave thanks for this rain of salvation!"
Lin Ke frowned. In the desert, water and rain are extremely rare, let alone torrential rain.
That meant precious fresh water was falling from the sky, and people's parched skin was finally moisturized by the rain.
He reasoned that this god represented rain and moisture, so he asked, "Ramses, who is this god?"
Ramses became excited: "Through the curtain of rain, I could vaguely see her figure in the dark clouds."
"She wears a sun disc on her head, is a person holding a scepter, and most importantly, her head is a lion."
“I guess it must be Tefnut, the supreme god of Holy Egypt, the goddess of rain and moisture.”
"She is in charge of the rain power of our Holy Egypt."
"While she was still alive in Holy Egypt, Holy Egypt never experienced a particularly severe drought."
Lin Ke's heart also stirred with excitement. Such a supreme god who controlled rain and moisture was exactly what their Holy Egypt needed right now.
Holy Egypt is currently experiencing a drought and desperately needs a heavy rain to replenish its granaries.
Moreover, Holy Egypt is about to face an attack from the sea.
The destructive power of a storm is self-evident; if it can be combined with Set, the god of storms, its power will be even greater.
So he immediately asked, "Ramses, do you know where we should look for this god?"
In the past, Ramses could always see specific locations when prophecies appeared, such as a temple or the underworld.
But when Ramses heard Lin Ke's question, he suddenly calmed down from his excitement and said with some guilt, "I am ashamed before you, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, I did not see where Tefnut was."
Lin Ke couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. At this moment, Ramses said again, "However, I saw her phantom in the rain. Perhaps we can go and search for her in the rain."
"A downpour?" Lin Ke's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He walked to the window, with Ramses following closely behind him.
They looked out the window together. The sky was clear and the sunlight relentlessly pierced the sand. Waves of heat swept through the air, almost making one see their own shadow.
"This...it doesn't look like there's going to be a downpour at all." Lin Ke shook her head helplessly.
Ramses remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, “Your Majesty, look there.”
Lin Ke looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a dark cloud gathering outside the southern city wall of Cairo...
