Chapter 1307 My name is Qun, because there are so many of us

[The Way of Unity has surpassed its limits, and the material world is about to be upgraded——]

[The power of the people is boiling, and the nine rivers along the way are becoming increasingly turbulent—]

[From today onwards, all phantoms will gain telepathic abilities, and it is possible for phantoms to merge and coexist with the living.]

The barrier between the dream world and the material world has become extremely weak, allowing extraordinary people to awaken telepathic abilities and gain the opportunity to learn the art of "fusion."

[——The law of balance has been updated, and a new equilibrium point has been established]

"That is... the way of unification."

Aiwass murmured softly, "Pure white robe, silver crown... a two-in-one pillar god?"

From the report of Sand Time, he has roughly understood the existence of the Way of United.

As the latest gesture of the Seventh Source River, it is a compromise and integration of authoritarianism and war.

Whether it's "food" devouring everything to replenish itself, "power" determining everything with unmatched brute force, "authority" ruling the weak through power and rules, or "war" leading the masses to eliminate dissidents... the source of violence is becoming increasingly weaker and more dispersed. Just like the essence of the material world's ascension, more and more power is dissipating into the material world, making everyone stronger.

The irony is... the "Invincible God" chosen by the source of violence in each generation is eventually beaten to death by a group of people.

Not counting Red Calamity and the High Heavens—even the Silver Crown Dragon's dethronement was aided by Morgan; and Uranus's defeat of the Sky-Eating Beast was aided by the power of the Hunter King. After all, this very act is a form of hunting; the defeated learn from their failures and become stronger, which is the blessing of the Source River of Survival.

Maybe Genhe finally understood... or admitted it.

The power of an individual has its limits.

A mere pillar god cannot surpass all the other pillar gods combined.

There is no doubt that this is the weakest and least "violent" moment since the birth of the Source River of Violence, and the moment when the water level of the Source River is the lowest.

However, it is also the moment when the Source River has the greatest impact on the material world - with the upgrading of the power of the material world, the power of the Source River has penetrated into more and more people.

——Also, this is the moment when it is most difficult for the Pillar God to fail.

"The Holy Number of Civilization, combined with the Holy Number of Violence... will only lead to nothingness."

Aiwass murmured, "But if love is added... then a miracle can be created."

As long as there are enough people, failure will not be easy.

For a behemoth, its own death is the end of everything; for a tyrant, their death may still have some lingering effects; and for a wise king, let alone his own death - even the end of his dynasty will allow the laws and rules he established to be passed down. For a "war", simply killing the generals is not enough to end it, so the Red of Disaster is killed repeatedly, but can be reborn repeatedly - reborn in an increasingly twisted and increasingly crazy posture.

The death of Red Calamity was not due to his own personal demise, but rather because there was no one behind him, because of the Silver Crown Dragon's denial.

If a general is abandoned by the monarch, soldiers and the people at the same time, then the war loses its meaning.

Similarly...

The essence of the way of unity is that "as long as there are enough people, there will be no failure."

Guinevere is a priest who heals others, while Lancelot is a knight who protects others. In other words, this is a two-in-one deity, a healer and a protector.

The Way of All Under Heaven emphasizes telepathy and fusion, and is obviously a god that mainly plays a supporting role.

The support is the core of the team, that is a matter of course; and the death of the support does not mean that the team has failed; it is also normal for the support to be unable to defeat the enemy, after all, the output has not yet taken action.

Admit your own weakness, and then accept more people... Although this is essentially a leakage of the power of the Tao, it cleverly avoids the "unbeatable bondage" of the source of violence.

The Silver Crown Dragon's path actually had a similar flavor. However, he ultimately chose to wield all ultimate power within himself, and therefore his failure remains unforgivable. He remains the embodiment of violence; if he's not strong enough, if he can't win, then he's not violent enough.

And for the Unified Path, even the Pillar Gods themselves no longer represent violence—

The White Twins' choice effectively dispersed the authority of the River of Violence to the other eight pillars. With greater power comes greater responsibility; conversely, with less power comes less responsibility. As long as the nine pillars survive, this community remains intact.

From another perspective, the River of Violence is no longer even born for fighting.

Because the first pillar god of the source river of violence was born from nothingness.

——Among the nine sources, only "violence" and "error" are derogatory terms. The others are at least neutral.

The source river of "error" itself has been polluted by nothingness, and its original appearance should be "perfection". The original tenth source river should be a miracle.

And so is violence—

The sky-eating beast was tainted by nothingness from the very beginning.

The information of this world is extracted from the thorns of sin.

The prototype of this desire and ability to "violently devour everything" is the behavior of the Dusk species devouring the world itself.

Defeating others, devouring others, gaining their power, and then replacing them - this is exactly how the Dusk Clan expands itself.

Destroy. Eat. Complete.

——From this perspective, the sky-eating beast Nibiru is the earliest apostle of nothingness.

Eating the sky, eating the sky... Why is there a huge hole in the sky? That is the trace of the void eating.

Aiwass, who inherited most of the knowledge and memory of the Samsara Celestial Master, already knew the nature of the sky of this world.

Those stars...and the bright sun and moon, they are actually fake.

This world is not a continent, but a planet. The goblins' global travels and the time differences between different places are enough to prove this.

If it's a planet, then why does it have a sun that can be shot down? Why does it have a star map that changes with the birth and death of the Celestial Ministers and Apostles? Why is the essence of the Veil of Balance a sky full of stars?

The answer is simple.

Because the ancestors of this planet once built the "sky curtain".

Perhaps they knew an unstoppable enemy emanated from the universe. Therefore, they chose to envelop the planet in an impenetrable shell... Little did they anticipate that the enemy would emerge from the realm of dreams, born from their very thoughts. Only after the void had completely devoured the planet would it open the heavens and depart from this world.

That’s why there is only one passage left by nothingness, that’s why the sun of this world can be shot down… and that’s why in the era without the sun and the moon, this world is just dark.

It is not so much that each generation of sun is shining, but rather that it is using its body to block the hole and become a kind of "good conductor", thus activating the sky.

The Curtain of Balance is the "protective film" that protects this fragile sky.

The power of the extraordinary and the phantom is extremely strong, and many beings that can fly at high speeds have strong bodies. The rune crafts inherited by the mages from their ancestors can accomplish many remarkable things.

It is easy to reach a high enough place.

In order to prevent people from touching and destroying the sky that had a big hole in it, the all-knowing Sand Timepiece, with the help of the all-knowing Great Sage, built the "Curtain of Balance" to prevent all beings from flying too high.

——This was the initial dispute between Sand Clock and Snake Father.

Sand Clock wants to build the Curtain of Balance and even rebuild the sky to protect the world again; while Snake Father wants to ascend to the outside of the world to see the real sea of ​​stars, to see what the ancestors were afraid of, and to find the hope that does not exist in this world.

This may not make sense to some people... but someone has to do it.

Just like when a group of people are trapped on an isolated island, in a dense forest, in a desert, or in a poisonous swamp, the best option is to narrow their range of activities, minimize their consumption of supplies, and wait for rescue or a miracle...

But some people will choose to leave.

Even if I die, I will die on the road of searching for hope.

Well, since "violence" cannot defeat nothingness, it is better to take another path.

Since he was unable to defeat the power of the Dusk Race... then as the weakest Pillar God, he must at least take care of the logistics.

Just because a hero defeats the devil doesn't mean the villagers will be happy from now on; after the hero ends the war and saves the world, people still have to survive and live their originally peaceful lives.

Just like the question that Snake Father asked about the sand clock: Is eternal and unchanging order really good?

As a "tool of change", the Way of the River of Violence provides an answer to this question:

——When everyone hopes so, the world should change.

"From this point of view..."

Aiwass murmured softly, "The Way of Unity is the purest form after removing the influence of the Sky-Eating Beast... Perhaps it is the most wrong one, or perhaps it is the most perfect one."

But another question arose in Aiwass's mind——

When the final explosion ended, the Silver Crown Dragon, the Sky Rider, and the Red of Disaster all disappeared.

——Who is the one who died?

Although it seems that it should be Qi Tiansi... because he was the one pulled down by the Tail Ring, and the Silver Crown Dragon did not seem to have died in the battle, but the position of the Pillar God has indeed become easier.

Soon, Aiwas's question was answered.

Because the one who appeared before him was not a pillar god.

But three people——

In other words, it was two people and a dragon.

——Lancelot and Guinevere rode on the Silver Crown Dragon and arrived before Aiwass!

"Evans!"

Lancelot greeted enthusiastically: "Go on!"

Aiwass subconsciously reached out and caught the knight's helmet.

At that moment, he understood what this was—

The power of the Tiansi fragment permeated his body, and words appeared before Aiwass one by one:

[Tiansi Fragment - Fragment of Protection and Loyalty]

[——The law of protection and loyalty, the remnant of the power of the Knight. If used in the right way, there is a chance to become a Shield or a Minister.]

...Shield Tiansi or Minister Tiansi?

Aiwass was a little surprised.

It turns out that the Knight-Knight hadn't followed the normal path from the very beginning... Ah, that's not surprising. After all, he was a two-in-one Knight-Knight, not a single knight—he had his queen behind him.

Whether it was shield or subject, if Guinevere was added to the mix, the concept would be tainted. Needless to say, he wasn't a subject or a guard, but a monarch. "Knight" was the most appropriate form of this distorted concept.

"You are Aiwass..."

At this moment, Guinevere looked at him curiously, while Bai Long felt somewhat surprised and helpless that he was still alive.

The Silver Crown Dragon obviously did not die permanently as he had wished - rather, it was Qi Tiansi who saved him by weakening himself by adding impurities.

Qi Tiansi gave up his body and did not choose to ascend to the Pillar God as a Qi Tiansi.

Instead, he chose to ascend to the position of Pillar God using Vortigern's "identity card".

No wonder...the Tiansi fragments of Qi Tiansi only appeared after the birth of the new pillar god.

This is no longer even a pair of twin gods, but a trinity of pillar gods - and I'm afraid there will be more in the future!

As long as one is accepted, one can become a Pillar God of the Path of Unity. From this perspective, the Path of Unity does not have apostles at all, because there is no need - if one can become an apostle, become the "eyes, hands, feet, and words of the Pillar God", then naturally one can also become a member of the Path of Unity!

From now on, this should be the only Pillar God who can be addressed in the plural...

"...How should I address you from now on?"

Aiwass smiled with relief and asked.

"I'm for 'Big Group'."

Lancelot grinned.

Guinevere and the Silver Crown Dragon said in unison, "Because there are so many of us."
