The Shepherd's Covenant

During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.

This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...

Chapter 1147 You don’t want to cause trouble to others, right?

——Bang.

After Aiwass entered the bedroom, he closed the door tightly.

He looked at the table and found a chess set on it. It was a chess game in progress.

So Aiwass picked up a few chess pieces, arranged them into the shape of Orion, and set up a simple soundproof barrier.

As the last chess piece fell with some difficulty and resistance, an invisible silent barrier was instantly formed.

Along with the sound of bubble gum being blown, the sounds inside and outside the room were blocked out, just like wearing noise-canceling headphones.

Cain felt that he could no longer hear the birdsong outside, and the sounds in the room became much clearer. It was like putting your hand in front of your mouth to speak, which would cause more sound to bounce back to your ears.

Aiwass didn't even use his magic power.

With his "Sin Ritual" now reaching the fourteenth level, even a fourth-level transcendent would not be able to break the barrier.

"Sit down, Cain."

Although he was a guest, Aiwass said this and sat down beside the chessboard.

Being stared at by Aiwass, little Cain nervously grabbed the hem of her skirt and sat on the other side with trepidation.

...Why, why did you suddenly activate the silent barrier?

Is there something I should do... or should I be more self-aware...?

The knowledge of the path of love from Xue Tiansi and Lucia continued to emerge in little Cain's heart.

Those were clearly my own memories and my own knowledge...but now they seem so strange.

Cain's heart pounded, feeling like it was about to burst out of his chest—an experience impossible for a child of the moon. Although the mist demon wasn't human, in some ways, its experience was closer to that of a human.

She subconsciously stretched out her right hand and placed it on her chest, feeling the pumping. Her right hand moved quickly, leaving a thin white mist in the air.

"—How much memory do you have left?"

Just when Cain was panicking, Aiwass suddenly asked.

This made little Cain relax instantly. As her mood relaxed, she began to float.

Although she was sitting on the chair, her butt was five or six centimeters higher than the chair, as if she were wearing a mold. It was more like she was floating upwards, with her thighs hidden under the table.

“…Not too much.”

Little Cain whispered, "I just know who I am...but I don't have many memories."

Her voice had a vague and ethereal quality, like the whispered sound of someone reading a fairy tale or telling a story before bed.

Her tone has become much more mature, not so childish. It's like an adult who has become a child.

"What about occult knowledge?"

Aiwass asked, "Do you still remember the mysterious knowledge you mastered when you were the Blood Sky Master?"

Little Cain shook his head. "I've forgotten everything. What I still remember is some useless knowledge...at least it can't be transformed into extraordinary power."

Her long, straight, milky white hair flowed down like a waterfall, shining and soft, making her look soft and fragile.

“…I see.”

Aiwass murmured.

It seems that Cain's cleansing was very thorough.

In order to prevent "Little Cain" from following his own path, Cain did not leave her with much knowledge about the blood realm.

Just like how the Realm of Sin became open source after the death of the Fallen Angels... after the death of the Blood Angels, the Realm of Blood also became a public domain.

It's like being forced to open source.

Although the Blood Mage class had lost its power... other transcendents could acquire the corresponding spellcasting resources by acquiring path traits related to "blood energy" or using special rituals and potions. In other words, if Little Cain still possessed similar knowledge, she could still use blood magic to imitate the power of other paths, even as a mist demon.

But Cain completely blocked this path. Obviously, he didn't want little Cain to become like him.

Memory is the stuff of personality, and as memory changes, personality is permanently altered.

"What about Lucia's memories?"

Aiwass confirmed.

Little Cain immediately replied, "I still remember most of those things—including the memory of participating in the ascension ceremony with you. They are all stored in my mind. I'm just missing some memories of my time with my family, as well as the memories of my previous reading of tantric books or other mystical knowledge..."

"What a violent wash..."

Aiwass complained.

Just directly erase all the memories of the blood field, which can also be considered a point cleansing.

...If that's the case, then it's not so much the reborn Cain, but rather Lucia who has inherited some of Cain's memories and soul.

But it was obvious that compared to Cain's soul, Lucia's soul should be more fragile - in the case of both being damaged, Lucia's should be more severely broken. However, Lucia's personality was almost intact, just a little more mature and with some additional memories that she had not known before.

Is this Cain's compensation to Lucia?

He unleashed his power, transforming all the Moon Children worldwide into humans... lifting their curse of immortality. And for Lucia, who had innocently become his carrier, he shattered his own soul to heal her damage. Even without Kirei Tenshi gathering their souls, Lucia could have re-entered the River of Dreams, becoming the first "Moon Child" whose soul could flow into the River of Dreams.

...What a gentle big boy.

From this point of view, Lucia was lucky to be resurrected from the dead. As a price, she merged with some of the fragments of the Blood Sky Master and became the daughter of the Mist Sky Master...

——The genuine Son of God.

"That means you have to start learning again..."

Aiwass pondered: "What energy level are you at now?"

"Fifth energy level. Could enter sixth energy level at any time."

Lucia replied softly.

"Fifth level...but you won't use your power?"

"Yes."

Lucia said helplessly, "I only have the instincts of a 'fog demon'. For example, raising thick fog... or hiding in the fog. I don't even possess Mr. Yeats's illusion ability."

In a sense, this little princess of the fog demon clan still hasn't changed her nature of being a fat sheep.

After all, Xue Tiansi hadn't anticipated her resurrection. He simply cleansed Lucia's soul of the curse and purged it of impure knowledge... so that she could become Hengwo's dancer with her own "Eternal Body," a body devoid of anything. This was also Xue Tiansi's wish.

As a result, she was now in a state of wanting to die but unable to do so, and she had become a blank slate - possessing terrifying Dao power and an extremely powerful soul, but lacking the knowledge and techniques to apply them.

While Aiwass was thinking, little Cain mustered up his courage and asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, yes."

Aiwass raised his head and said seriously, "You also think of yourself as the Blood Sky Master, right?"

"……yes."

Lucia nodded sadly: "I am the last holder of the Blood Sky Division fragment. Although I have lost some of my memories, that is exactly who I was in the past."

"Dying is the most irresponsible 'atonement'. It's a good thing that you survived. Now that you are still alive, you must take responsibility."

“…Huh? Responsibility?”

"That's right. Although you initially only drove the Moon Children into such a frenzy in order to drive a 'wedge of hatred' to prevent them from nihilism, their actions did indeed cause damage to many people."

Aiwass said solemnly, "Time is an unstoppable sandstorm. Even a single grain of sand, even if it lands on an individual or a family, can bring catastrophic disaster. How much misfortune must the Moon Child cause to earn hatred and remembrance from the distant future, even after human society ceases to exist... This is the responsibility you now bear."

"—You don't want to cause any more trouble for others, do you, little Cain?"
