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 1196: Completely crazy?

If he didn't know all this, Aiwass would continue to promote various welfare policies through the Harpies to attract people to Dawn City.

Just like what Aiwass had done before: provide unlimited water, provide civil rights, teach the slaves to stand up, eliminate the slaves and thus eliminate slavery itself, making himself the greatest and most correct benefactor... let everything develop in a bright direction.

Then, with the "sudden" arrival of Yuan Tiansi, doomsday arrived—

Yuan Tiansi will swallow up everything, including the fighting between Paradise City and the Red Hand Gang, and kill tens of millions of innocent people.

And Aiwass will come like a savior, defeat Yuan Tiansi and gain control of the power of the sea, thereby creating an inland sea and rivers in the center of the desert, allowing a true oasis to descend upon this dead land, and making people worship Aiwass like a god...

“…But what will He gain from this?”

Aiwass frowned.

The more he deduced, the more confused he felt.

Regardless of how one views it, Aiwass has gained nothing but benefits from this. This great feat of salvation and deicide will instantly maximise the resonance between his Path of Devotion and Path of Transcendence. As Aiwas's power in the material world rises, his advancement will also accelerate.

No matter how you look at it, this arrangement is extremely beneficial to Aiwass and absolutely disadvantageous to Huantiansi.

——If Aiwass completed the first round of the Tail Ring before the Snake Father left his position on August 8, he would have the possibility of pulling down Huan Tiansi and killing him through the second round of the Tail Ring!

And what Huan Tiansi will get... are only the souls of the millions and tens of millions of dead people who are pouring into the dream world.

Could they possibly block the source of the river?

That's impossible.

The source river is not a real river, so how could it be blocked?

But what could these souls do in the dream world? Or was Huan Tiansi planning to create some kind of "death entity" or other phantom demon through such a large-scale death? This was something Aiwas could foresee. But was it worth it?

Aiwass thought for eight hours but still couldn't find any ideas.

He didn't want to follow Huan Tiansi's arrangement; but Aiwass didn't even know how to get rid of it - if he left, Yuan Tiansi would only kill more people. If he left according to this arrangement, the most people would be saved.

This seems to be no problem, but Aiwass is still unable to understand the real conspiracy of Huantiansi... This makes him very uneasy.

Could it be that he just wanted to make some arrangements for himself?

Late at night on June 23rd, Isabel invited Sherlock, who had been making water in the city all day.

Although he was a little tired, he immediately cheered up and rushed over when he heard that Aiwas had encountered difficulties.

After listening to Evans's narration in detail, Sherlock fell into deep thought.

The lights in the hall were dim late at night.

There were only three people here: Aiwass, Sherlock and Isabel. Everyone else had been sent outside.

"I have a somewhat... unreliable guess, Fox."

After Sherlock thought about it seriously, he frowned and said, "I'm not sure this is correct... but you can use it as a reference. I feel like this is a blind spot in your thinking."

"——Is there a possibility that Huan Tiansi's target is actually the position of the Crown Master?"

Aiwass instinctively wanted to say it was impossible.

Not to mention that Huan Tiansi obviously has no adaptability to the path of authority...

And if this continues, then with the arrival of Yuan Tiansi... it will become impossible for the Red Hand Faction to completely defeat the Good Lord. This means that the Silver Crown Dragon and the Disaster Dragon in the Dream Realm will return to a messy and entangled struggle, and both sides may even become weaker.

The basic principle of this world is that the state and intentions of the great beings in the dream world will change the hearts of people in the material world, and what happens in the material world will in turn affect the dream world.

Therefore, the way to fight against "fate" is to fight against desires and human hearts; and if you want to kill the gods of the dream world, it is best to weaken them by changing the situation and concepts of the material world.

"He can't possibly really want Morgan to become a god, right?"

Aiwass frowned. "Could Morgan be from the Huantian Division? That's unlikely... and I always feel like Morgan doesn't quite fit the bill. I think the Calamity Dragon's plan is most likely to use Morgan to slay the Silver Crown Dragon, thereby transforming the concept of 'authority' into 'clan'. Then, by devouring Morgan, they'll return to 'barbarism' or 'murder,' a logic more in line with the underlying source of violence."

"Yes," Sherlock nodded seriously, "I mean - do you think Huan Tiansi is happy to see all this?"

"…Not necessarily, Sherlock."

Aiwass thought for a moment before slowly answering, "If he's me... I don't think this is a good thing. It would mean the decline of the world and the regression of the times."

"So I think He wouldn't agree with this either. Not to mention, Mian Tiansi is his apostle."

"...But the problem is, I'm not sure whether the Silver Crown Dragon is his apostle, or the Calamity Dragon is his apostle."

Aiwass sighed. "Logically, the Silver Crown Dragon purged itself of all power except its own strength and reincarnated into the material world under the name 'Arthur.' The Calamity Dragon is the remnant that possesses the power beyond the Tao... But the Calamity Dragon's or Morgan's claims clearly contradict Huan Tiansi's 'transmutation'.

"Transmutation means the upper becomes lower, the lower becomes upper. Everything is in perpetual flux...but sufficiently strong 'violence' will solidify this class. Whether this violence is based on the food chain, pure violence, royal law, clan family rules, or the fear of killing, it will prevent this 'fluidity'."

"You're right, Aiwass. Whoever sits atop the Seventh River Source will cause discomfort to Huan Tiansi, who is plotting against the Eighth River Source... Especially since he's about to abandon the path of 'transcendence' and embark on the path of 'transformation.' Therefore, this newly created class will no longer be a pillar of the vine, but an obstacle to his progress."

Sherlock stared at Aiwass closely: "So, is there another possibility?

"What I mean is... he's not targeting the Silver Crown Dragon, nor the Calamity Dragon. Not even Morgan. He's targeting the entire Path of Authority."

Hearing this, Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

He had indeed never considered such a possibility.

——Because this possibility is too terrifying.

But looking back now, it all seems so real...

"I remember you said... before Wei Zhe opened the Gate of Truth, the Fourth Source River had no Pillar Gods. In other words, it's possible that the Source River itself didn't have Pillar Gods."

Sherlock stared at Aiwas's violently trembling pupils and whispered, "Aiwas, I've always believed in this: when you eliminate all the impossible, whatever remains... no matter how unbelievable, it must be the truth."

"...You mean."

Aiwass realized the terrible truth: "The Ring Celestial Master is not on the side of the Silver Crown Dragon, nor on the side of the Disaster Dragon. He wants to kill all the Celestial Masters of the 'Entire Path of Authority'—"

"Morgan will probably die too. Even the Knights of the Silver Crown Dragon... our venerable old queen will probably be killed by him, thus ensuring that no one from the Seventh Source River can ascend to the position of Pillar God."

There was a hint of gloom in Sherlock's eyes.

He was loyal to the old Queen Sophia until his death, which was why Sherlock was able to think of the possibility of this danger at the first time.

And now he knew...that someone wanted to murder her even after her death, which really angered Sherlock.

Isabel beside her also opened her eyes.

She had remained silent all the time, but now she pursed her lips.

"...Without the Pillar God's path, the entire world would be in chaos. The pure force of 'violence', left unchecked, would likely permeate the entire material world... just as the unchecked power of truth once spread freely, turning any random person into a master wizard beyond modern imagination."

Aiwass spoke slowly, reasoning in his mind, "By then, everyone's power will likely increase randomly. All previous orders based on 'violence' will collapse—the essence of the state is violence, the symbol of the military is also violence, and they will all disintegrate as a result."

"That's it."

Sherlock nodded and continued, "Pure chaos, uncontrollable violence, isn't that the cornerstone of the theory of 'transmutation'?"

"That's why he devised this scheme. He had the Red Dragon choose the Red Hand as his spokesperson at this very moment, launching a righteous war against the Resting Good Lord... The Red Dragon believed that this would gain external support, thus ensuring that he could remove the crown of authority."

Aiwass sorted out the cause and effect: "But in fact, he was used by Huan Tiansi - Huan Tiansi intended to let both parties perish together, so that the Crown Master would fall into unprecedented weakness! Morgan will betray the Crown Master at this time, and he will kill Morgan at this time -"

"—and then kill all of the Crown Master's followers, ensuring the complete depopulation of the Seventh Path."

Sherlock continued, "This ensures the powerlessness and negation of the concept of 'transcendence', ensuring that the path of 'transmutation' can replace it."

"He's crazy!"

Aiwass blurted out: "Hasn't he been completely eroded by the void?"

The instantaneous death of tens of millions of mortals, the entanglement of resentment in the material world, the formation of terrifying phantom demons, the killing of the crown master and the extermination of all the phantom demons in a path, plunged the material world into absolute chaos...

It feels like Huan Tiansi is much crazier than Shanzhu and the Red Hand Gang!

Aiwass couldn't accept that "another self" would do such a crazy thing.

It's like destroying your account live when you decide to quit a game.

He never did such a thing... Not only would he never destroy his account, he wouldn't even sell it. Because even in a game he wasn't playing, he could still hold unforgettable joy. Even if pain and anger briefly overwhelmed happiness, in the long run, only love would remain. Because love has a longer-lasting vitality than hate.

He didn't want to regret it, so he just kept these things as treasures.

Even if it's just to preserve my past memories.

Aiwass is a very nostalgic person. For him, memories are treasures that surpass all other things.

If you do something like this, it would be tantamount to desecrating your past memories.

To Aiwass, no matter how much Huan Tiansi had tried to kill him before, he was just his nemesis—he even felt pity and tenderness for Huan Tiansi. He must have endured pain he had never endured to embark on this path. His tenderness towards Huan Tiansi was also tenderness towards himself.

But this is the only thing——

Aiwass could not forgive him.

"...In order to stop Huan Tiansi's conspiracy, I may have to resort to some despicable means."

Aiwass said seriously: "This is for me..."

After saying this, he glanced at the serious and silent Isabel and Sherlock, and slowly added: "Also for Her Majesty the Queen."

Even for Huan Tiansi himself.

Aiwass added in his mind.

He didn't want Huan Tiansi to regret his choice one day.

Even if it is an enemy who wants to devour you.

That is another "Evans" after all.
