Chapter 3: Chapter 1
"Going to Elders' lecture, Young Gilgamesh?"
"Study hard so you can become a fabulous king in the future!"
"Young Gilgamesh, would you like this date palm fruit? This is fresh. I just picked it up from my farm this morning."
"Young Gilgamesh, try this fresh fruit. Today is hot. Hotter than yesterday, I say. It can cool and refresh you!"
"Oh, my, aren't you growing up more handsome each day, young Gilgamesh? I can't wait until you grow up and visit my place. Hehe~"
As Gilgamesh advanced towards his destination, he was greeted with enthusiasm by the citizens of Uruk.
There were men and women, teens and adults… from simple merchants to bewitching prostitutes; even passing housewives to patrolling city guards… Everyone would greet him amiably. Meanwhile, children would look at him in awe and, in a rare case, jealousy for the attention he garnered.
Gilgamesh gave them a small smile, not arrogant nor servile, and nodded shortly in acknowledgment in return to the greetings. When he was offered something for free, he would accept it and thanked the giver. He would wave at the children who stared at him with honest awe but ignored those whose stares contained jealousy. He had a good reputation despite his young age, and his 'destiny' as the future king of Uruk and his innate charisma helped him to obtain their favorable impression.
Before long, he arrived before the tallest building in the middle of the City-State of Uruk. He looked up at the majestic building with a melancholic gaze. Nobody knew what the boy had in his head, not even the divines for whenever they tried to peer into his mind, they only found a void, but they would surely be shocked if they could hear his thought.
There were two armed guards standing at each side of the entrance. They had a neutral expression as they saw Gilgamesh's behavior. For them, it wasn't a strange sight because they had seen Gilgamesh behaving like this many times. Although they were curious, they kept their opinion to themselves. Besides, their only job was to guard the entrance to the palace.
'Whenever I see this tall building, I always remember the tall modern building in my previous life. Honestly, despite living in a lavish lifestyle due to my status, being a commoner in the modern era is still more convenient. What's more, I miss the internet… Haisss! Forget about it. This is my life now. As Gilgamesh the future king of heroes… Nay, I guess the proper title is the king of immortals, isn't it?'
Such was his thought, which ended with a wry smirk that confused the two guards who saw it but didn't give a strong reaction for it.
And, it was shocking indeed. If gods and goddesses discovered his biggest secret, they would probably have an extreme reaction due to the impossibility of it.
Unfortunately for them, they were unable to hear his thought and peer into his mind. When the gods and goddesses tried to see into him, there was only void. It had alarmed many gods and goddesses because they couldn't hear and see what Gilgamesh was thinking and imagining in his little head. And they were paranoid because of it.
It had been their biggest controversy, and it wasn't only once or twice that the call of Gilgamesh's death came out from some paranoid gods' and goddesses' mouths. Gilgamesh was 'lucky' to be alive so far because his mother had pleaded to Sun God Shamash to give his boon for Gilgamesh. Thus, Sun God Shamash and several gods and goddesses became his guarantor.
In the end, Gilgamesh could live till today due to some gods' and goddesses' mercies, but he was under heavy scrutiny of gods and goddesses. If he ever showed a sign of rebelling from his destiny as divines' tool and would become a danger to them, Gilgamesh would be executed at once.
Of course, Gilgamesh was aware of this. He'd overheard his parents' discussion about this. That was the reason why he was being careful and behaving like an obedient kid while he was sharpening his claws and fangs to grasp his true freedom. He guessed that whatever shielded him from the 'eyes' of the divines was also the reason behind his rebirth as the current him.
However, Gilgamesh understood that he wouldn't be able to grasp his freedom soon. After all, these gods and goddesses were powerful. Terribly, so. He felt helpless and powerless when he sensed the power hidden in his parents' bodies, and they were supposed to be only a lesser god and a lesser goddess. He couldn't fathom the power of the higher gods and goddesses.
Gilgamesh could only bid his time while showing off his value as their obedient, little tool. In the meantime, he would raise his strength secretly until he became matchless… to the point of dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of gods and goddesses powerless before his strength alone.
'Well, I'm almost breaking through into peak Innate level. After that, it's going to be Violet Palace, Myriad Manifestation, and finally, Primal in which I'll stop aging. At least, I'm born as Innate level because of my divine bloodline. If not, I need to start cultivation from a mere mortal. Still, this cultivation system is similar to that of the Desolate Era novel in my previous life.'
Gilgamesh finally realized that he'd been standing in front of the palace's entrance for a while. He glanced at the guards who stood silently like statues and keep their eyes from meeting his. Gilgamesh then smiled sheepishly because of his slip up.
'Oh, well, I'm going to put aside this problem and focus on what's ahead of me. I'm sure those old fogies are waiting for me for a while already…'
After think as such, Gilgamesh entered the castle and headed towards the library where he would receive his education about governing and ruling from the elders of City-State of Uruk.

Daoist029716 Innate is also called Anterior Heaven and Precelestial or Xiantian in Chinese. Since Gilgamesh had 2/3 divine blood, I believe he's acceptable to be Inborn cultivator with cultivation at this level.
