Chapter 1189 The End of the Path to Authoritarianism

Aiwass had thought about this question before.

The knights all inherited a portion of the Silver Crown Dragon's power, and the Silver Crown Dragon's "power" came from Supreme Heaven, who achieved his position as a Pillar God by devouring the sky-eating beast Nibiru. If the Seventh Source River's pollution predated Supreme Heaven's ascension to the gods, then this was a contamination that had seeped in from the very beginning.

"So, would the Lord want to choose Ms. Morgan, who is completely outside of this cycle..."

Isabel murmured.

She frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

An idea struck her. "Something's definitely not right, Aiwass—if the pollution originated from deep within the source river, then why would replacing a new Pillar God solve the problem? Shouldn't Morgan also be contaminated?"

"...At least we can start over."

Aiwass said uncertainly: "It can delay it for a while longer."

It's like replacing the filter element in a water filter - this is one of the original duties of the Pillar God.

"But, Aiwass," Isabel gave another perspective, "I remember you said that Ms. Morgan has been pursuing the Lord, but the Lord did not accept her love - even though he had a relationship with Morgan when he was still a mortal.

"For such a long time, Morgan hadn't received any response to her love; and now she was suddenly informed by the Crown Master that she had to remain in this position and make a silent sacrifice for him, while he would continue to make a greater sacrifice alone..."

Isabel said seriously, "I don't think she would rationally obey the Crown Master's orders. It's a good thing this love doesn't turn into hatred. This is my judgment as a woman who has also loved others."

"...I remember that she was an apostle of Shadow Sky, and Shadow Sky's domain itself includes revenge, betrayal, and hatred."

Aiwass frowned slightly, realizing the problem: "You mean..."

"This might not be a 'transfer of power,' Aiwass. This might be a betrayal—"

Isabel whispered, "I've heard you and Sherlock research the legacy of the Celestial Master's wisdom... Love plus authority, isn't that the number of transcendence?"

"...very likely, Lulu. Your guess is very good."

Aiwass became serious: "I just realized another thing - do you remember the coming of the Blood Sky Master?"

"Yeah." Isabel nodded.

"That incident was the betrayal of the Son of the Moon. We previously believed that this incident occurred perhaps because of the Son of the Moon's stupidity and shortsightedness, and also because the Blood Sky Master placed excessive and false expectations on his descendants, and did not reveal his true self to them...

"Add to that the rebellion at the Troll Plantations in the South—the Benevolent Masters, who had the Trolls obey their orders, launched repeated devastation in the South, ostensibly to rescue their own kind. Meanwhile, in the Parthian Empire, an uprising of slaves and sympathetic freemen has launched the Fourth Water War, imprisoning the Benevolent Masters to seize the water source. This, too, is a rebellion motivated by hatred and revenge."

Previously, Aiwass believed that this was because the Snake Father was about to break through his limits, triggering a wave of transcendence from the material world...

But if you look closely now, you will find that there are actually not many pure "transcendents" in these events - transcendence is the domain of the ambitious, and these rebellions are basically caused in the name of love or hate.

Of course, there might also be the influence of the Tide of Transcendence... but perhaps this influence is not on the material world, but on the dream world.

"In the past, the crowned rulers triumphed over strength with authority, just as monarchs conquered barbarism, defeated giants, and slew demons with their royal power and order. But when the throne endures, love and hatred grow in the hearts of the people. One day, the crown will fall, the throne stained with blood—and even the king will be betrayed. Often, this betrayer will be a relative—a lover, son, or brother, or a trusted and capable minister, general, or follower... or perhaps it's a combination of all of them."

Aiwass said slowly, "Just as the birth and death of the Celestial God and the Pillar God will affect the entire material world...what happens in the dream world will also manifest in the material world like a projection."

"you mean……"

Isabel whispered, "Has the Crown Master been plotted against by Morgan?"

"'Morgan may love Arthur, or he may hate him. And one day, Arthur's kingship will wither under Morgan's curse..."

Aiwass spoke prophetically: "The current crown master may no longer be Arthur."

In other words, he became the real "Arthur".

——The current lord is probably already a disaster dragon!

That's why Joan thought He was "weird" and "very irritable."

The former Crown Celestial Master was once an apostle of the Ring Celestial Master. He split from the Path of Transcendence into love and power. The Calamity Dragon represents the "love" part of it... That is why Morgan became his successor, rather than the knights left behind by the Crown Master.

It was precisely because the Calamity Dragon lacked the power of the Path of Authority that the monarchy in the material world was so drastically shaken during this period. Fatefully, Yulia's establishment of a "new empire where the emperor has no power" was perhaps due to this influence.

That's why Morgan came here - the Disaster Dragon urgently needs to "wash away" the Lord's authoritarian path by inheriting the position to Morgan and re-establishing the rules of the new path, so that the new authoritarian path can be more in line with the path of love, so that He can stay here.

This is just like how authority today is vaguely in line with transcendence, love today is vaguely in line with beauty, and wisdom is vaguely related to balance - although the Pillar Gods ultimately only have a single path, they were all influenced by other paths when they were mortals, and the influence of this concept is irreversible.

The scenario of the calamity dragon descending upon the material world will probably never happen again.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the next person to be pulled down from the Path of Authority... probably won't be Morgan, nor the Disaster Dragon."

——but the former “Crown Master” himself.

Aiwass said slowly, "He will definitely not descend to Avalon or the newly born New Hellasir... but will occur in a place where the monarchy is challenged and the authority of the ruler is shattered.

"Just like in the not-too-distant past, when the Lord led his Knights of the Round Table to the Island of Avalon to defeat the Kingdom of Giants—"

In today's material world, there should also be a place where a transcendent rebellion can be launched in the name of love and hate.

And there is only one such place.

"--rest in peace!"

“—That is rest.”

Aiwass and Isabel said almost in unison.

The essence of the Fourth Water War is the battle of succession of the Pillar Gods!

Morgan compares himself to a rebel—someone who loves but is not reciprocated, and therefore turns to hate.

The cold and heartless Lord who did not respond to her love became the Good Lord.

This is also one of the reasons why the Calamity Dragon recruited Morgan: her relationship with the Lord can form a projection mirror to symbolically project her relationship with the Lord into a just war that is easiest to win and least likely to be hindered.

"In that case..."

Isabel looked at Aiwass with some worry: "If we help the rebels, then the defeat of the good master will become the inducement for the defeat of the crown master; but if we help the good master, it will be tantamount to..."

"No, we still help the rebels, Lulu."

Aiwass pondered for a long time and gave a definitive answer: "If there is a choice between the dream world and the material world... no matter what, the material world is the priority. The material world is the foundation of this world... The Sand Clock must have made the same choice back then.

"As for the Calamity Dragon and Morgan... the changes in history are ultimately irreversible, and the era of kingship is destined to end. However, if they are not competent."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes: "That Pillar God... may not be impossible to kill."
