Chapter 1324 Gentle Determination

The information provided by Morgan and Galatea is particularly crucial.

Aiwass was very glad that he paid enough attention to the words of "Encyclopedia" and made a special trip to the dream world.

The one pulled down during the Tailing Ring Ritual in the Path of Beauty must be a Butterfly Celestial Master. Also, the Ascension Ritual has the potential to be contaminated, so choosing the Crescent Moon Ritual without teammates might be safer...

Wake up from the dream.

When Isabel opened her eyes, she saw Aiwass thinking about something under the quilt.

"—Do you need my help, Aiwass?"

Isabel suddenly spoke.

Ai Hua was startled and turned around: "What do you want to do?"

"You are worried about the problem of Die Tiansi, right?"

Isabel spoke softly, her gentle yet firm gaze fixed on Aiwass: "I remember you saying that Shang Tiansi rose to the position of Tiansi through a transaction—he was originally not qualified to be a Tiansi, but now he can die as a Tiansi. When he is reborn, he will have the possibility of achieving Tiansi through this great achievement.

"In other words, now, with the exception of the Path of Beauty, all the Celestial Masters have been appointed... After the fifteenth of this month, when the Full Moon Ceremony concludes, many sixth-level transcendents will appear. Even without your help, they will have the potential to defeat the Celestial Masters and seize their fragments.

"I think... what you're worried about is the possibility that the Tiansi they pulled down is not the Die Tiansi."

"Don't be stupid, Isabel."

Aiwass turned serious and reached out to push Isabel back down as she tried to sit up. "Let's put that aside for now. I have another option—you're pregnant. I know you already have the Celestial Fragment, so you're not afraid of death. But do you want little Aleister to die with you?"

"Of course I have feelings for her..."

Isabel murmured softly, "After all, during the promotion ceremony, I spent three times more time with her than with you. But that was a doomsday disaster, and it concerns your safety. If..."

"—there's no such thing as 'what if'."

Aiwass interrupted Isabel again, looking at her seriously. "I will think of a way to save the world. You don't have to sacrifice yourself for it. There's no reason in this world to sacrifice a child to save the world. Even if this child hasn't yet obtained her own soul, she already lives in your memory."

Isabel stared at Aiwass for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.

Her smile is so beautiful, so touching. The "beauty" that overflows with life and energy.

Seeing her laugh out loud, Aiwass finally came to his senses.

He realized that his heart was pounding - even a direct confrontation with Dayuan did not make him so nervous.

"...Just now, were you kidding?"

"No."

Isabel smiled gently, like a Madonna, and gazed at Aiwass calmly. "Of course I love that child so deeply, more than I love my own life. I'm also so attached to life. Now that I've finally resolved all the sorrows and obstacles, I truly want to live in this beautiful world... I also truly want her to exist in reality, not just appear during the promotion ceremony and be remembered only by me...

"—But if it's for you, I'm willing to give it all up. I owe everything to you. You saved me from the clutches of fate... and I can also return them to fate with my own will."

Hearing Isabel's gentle whisper like the breeze, Aiwas felt a little suffocated for a moment.

It was a love that was so strong and exclusive, even paranoid and a little twisted.

...Yes.

Isabel possessed a strong affinity for the Path of Love, so strong that she could gain the power to defeat the Angel of Destiny simply by sacrificing him. However, she was under Aiwas's protection, and this world didn't allow such a thing.

"You have indeed grown stronger, Isabel..."

Aiwass let out a breath and felt a little calmer.

He smiled bitterly and said, "But I hope you can be more gentle."

"Evans," Isabel didn't answer him, but asked, "If this world must sacrifice one person, who would you choose?"

"I'll do it myself."

Aiwass replied without hesitation, "I can't make decisions for others, nor can I sacrifice others. Premature death is wrong, and there is no such thing as necessary evil... In other words, the only sacrifice a person can make is for themselves."

"Yes," said Isabel lightly, "I thought so too—that's what you taught me."

“…”

Seeing Aiwass speechless for a moment, Isabel laughed, hugged him and fell on the bed, rubbing his forehead for Aiwass: "Don't worry, dear. If everything goes well, I won't do these things. If you can live well, who wants to die?"

...Is this also a "fuse"?

After hearing what Isabel said, Aiwass finally understood why Isabel suddenly became so tough.

It was Morgan's words that touched her.

"I shouldn't have brought you to see Morgan."

Aiwass threw her to the ground and said viciously: "That witch has corrupted you!"

"To increase your resolve, Aiwass. And also to increase the pressure on you."

Isabel touched Aiwas's cheek, as if wiping away tears that didn't exist, or perhaps did, and murmured softly, "I know... you're the type who performs better when the pressure is greater, right?"

"I am different from Ai Shiping."

Aiwass said without hesitation: "He will sacrifice Amber, but I will not sacrifice you."

"So, do you have any ideas?"

Isabel countered, "Determination alone isn't enough. If you have an idea, I can help you execute it. If you think I'm in the way, take the others with you—time is running out. We only have the last twenty days. Or rather, we only have five. After the Ascension Ceremony on the 15th, the tail ring of the Path of Beauty might land. That means other Celestial Masters might be summoned."

Yes, they actually weren't worried at all about not being able to pull down the Heavenly Master of the Path of Beauty.

When people are not strong enough, the coming of the God of Heaven is a disaster; but when people become strong enough, the coming of the God of Heaven becomes fat meat that everyone wants to take a bite.

It's like getting a power-up in the Pac-Man game that can turn around and bite the boss.

Aiwass wasn't worried about not being able to snatch the Celestial Master fragments—he was now a legitimate Celestial Master on Earth, undoubtedly the strongest in the world. Without this confidence, how could he dare to fight against an enemy that even the Pillar Gods feared?

Even if Aiwas knew who was going to summon the Celestial Master of the Path of Beauty, he would have a way to modify the summoning ritual to point it to the Celestial Master of Butterfly... just like what Vivian had done before.

His only concern was that some unknown individual had secretly performed the summoning ritual first and directed the Tail Ring ritual to the wrong Celestial Being. This was also the "necessary sacrifice" that Isabel had mentioned.

Aiwass thought about it seriously for a long time, but couldn't come up with any good solution.

But fortunately, Aiwass thought of another thing.

He had been relying on his own will for so long that he had become a god. He had solved so many problems with his own strength...

At some point, Aiwass had forgotten that he was still a pastor.

Perhaps it was because he didn't like to rely on others, so as long as he could solve the problem by himself, he would subconsciously not seek help from others.

When you encounter a problem that is truly beyond your understanding and must be solved within a limited time... it is better not to blindly try to be brave.

Aiwass immediately summoned his most trusted Lord of Scales and Feathers. After he created his new body, the Dao Crystal in his chest disappeared, and thus the contract he had signed with the Lord of Scales and Feathers became invalid. As a result, Aiwass could no longer use high-level divine arts to directly descend, and instead had to use conventional divine arts to contact the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

——Help me, boss!

Although the Lord of Scales and Feathers has not been summoned for a long time, the boss is still as reliable as ever.

Or rather, He seemed to be constantly watching Aiwass, almost anxious to death. Therefore, as soon as the "call" was connected, before Aiwass could ask, the Lord of Scales and Feathers raised a possibility: "Is it possible that you don't actually need to summon the Butterfly Celestial Servant?"

"……What?"

Aiwass was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

"The Butterfly of Rebellious Flame is unable to resonate with the Celestial Master fragment and ascend. It is indeed possible that the laws of the Tao are not compatible... but there is actually another possibility.

"--That is, she was already halfway through her promotion. It's precisely because she'd already 'used' the Celestial Master fragment that she couldn't resonate with the other Celestial Master fragments. After all, as you already know, Die Celestial Master was born from Mithra's corpse, and Mithra was transformed from one of Wei Zhe's eyes. So how could she not be able to use Wei Zhe's fragments?

“Unless, she has been locked by Die Tiansi’s fragments.

"You don't need to summon Die Tiansi at all - you just need to complete the remaining half for her."
