Chapter 1333: Snake Father: My beloved children

This is completely different from the cold, indifferent, and indifferent Snake Father that Aiwass had in mind.

The snake father that Aiwas saw at this moment was so gentle and kind!

After being discovered by the Snake Father, Aiwass was picked up by the Snake Father and carried to a tall altar made of earth and stone.

The altar is square, with steps leading down on all four sides, like a square pyramid without a head.

When he was thrown into the middle of the altar, there was actually a moment when Aiwass thought that the Snake Father was going to sacrifice him... But Aiwass could sense the Snake Father's mood and kindness, so he endured the "sense of crisis" that kept warning him in his heart and chose to believe the Snake Father.

"...Your body is too weak, child."

The snake father sighed and said in a gentle voice, "But it's okay. It won't hurt soon."

Following the words of the Snake Father, He once again soared into the air and performed the ancient and elegant Dragon Dance in the air.

Scales and feathers gradually fell from the sky, melting into bursts of purple light.

They merged into Aiwas' body, and Aiwas's original body began to glow.

——It's like a Pokémon evolving.

At that moment, this thought popped up in Aiwas' mind.

His original body began to grow larger and taller. The snake tail behind him swallowed up his legs and turned into a long golden tail.

It looked more like a fish's tail than a snake's. Aiwass's unassuming black scales transformed into coral-colored scales, and coral-like dragon horns sprouted from his head. His platinum-colored hair grew longer and longer, and behind him grew illusory wings as transparent as butterfly wings and resembling colored glass.

When Aiwass opened his eyes again... he felt like he was reborn.

Abundant magic power, clear thinking, and a strong body.

From a mortal who wasn't even a transcendent, he had almost instantly recovered to a state close to his peak. Aside from the lack of the Celestial Master fragment, this body even surpassed Aiwass's old body before he rebuilt the Holy Body!

...Is this enlightenment?

But……

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Aiwass couldn't help but ask.

He still remembered what Hengwo had said to him—that Fuxi would eventually transcend everything and shatter the void. He should be a dull and ruthless god.

The reason the Snake Father concealed the miracle before his departure was to gradually pass on his own great achievements to Ai Shiping. This was to prevent the Pillar God from changing and causing a catastrophe similar to the fall of the Supreme Heaven in the mortal world...

Thinking of this, Aiwass was suddenly stunned.

Yes...

If the Snake Father is a heartless god, how could He care about the life and death of the material world?

According to knowledge from the higher arts, the Snake Father greatly dislikes being summoned. To prevent people from constantly relying on him for favors, he even took the initiative to open up his rituals to the public—as long as the procedures and rules are followed, anyone can use the rituals without having to pray to the Snake Father or ask for permission.

It is precisely because the ritual technique is completely open source and gradually popularized that the Snake Father has gradually become the pillar god that is least necessary to summon.

Because everything the Snake Father can do, can also be done through rituals. And the Snake Father will also reject most summons... Although all pillar gods will reject summons, the Snake Father's rejection is the most drastic, and he will even directly destroy the summoning ceremony itself.

So... could it be that the Snake Father is actually a gentle god?

"Because you are all my children."

The snake father leaned closer, looking very pleased. "And you are the smartest among them. You have mastered language and learned to rebel. You were placed in the sea, but you were able to resist your instincts and walk towards the land... This is good. You are the most suitable to lead them and bring them into contact with wisdom."

At this distance, Aiwass was finally able to hear the Snake Father's voice clearly, and it was not just a divine echo like the voice in the temple.

It was the clear and enthusiastic voice of a middle-aged man.

It sounds like glutinous rice wine, Longjing tea after the rain, a teacher with long hair and a long robe, and black and white Go.

"Snake Father..."

Aiwass murmured, reciting the Snake Father's name. But the feeling of being treated with genuine kindness was like glue, slowly sinking Aiwass in. He was already irresistible to this kind of tenderness... not to mention that the Snake Father had spared no expense, giving him a new life in their first encounter.

"Snake Father? Ah... 'Snake Father'?"

Unexpectedly, the Snake Father seemed quite interested in the name, but also a little distressed: "Actually... besides snakes and fish, those winged birds are also my children. Well... yes, I am not just your father, you actually have brothers who you have never met."

As He spoke, He looked somewhat dejected. "And most importantly, you were not born because of me. It was only after your birth that I reawakened into this world. In terms of the order of our births, I'm perhaps not much older than you, child. It's just that my blood flows through you—you are a part of me."

...Huh?

Aiwass was stunned for a moment and realized one thing: the Snake Father of this period did not seem to be called Snake Father yet.

"How should I address you, Great Creator?"

Aiwass asked humbly and respectfully.

"My name is Mi Xi. This name is not my race, but my personal name."

The Snake Father patiently taught, like a kindergarten teacher carefully guiding a particularly bright child: "You too must have your own names. With names, you can distinguish one another; with understanding language, you can truly touch the truth."

As he spoke, the snake father leaned forward expectantly and said, "How about I give you a name?"

"I……"

Just as Aiwas was about to refuse, he suddenly lost control of his body.

In other words, he suddenly entered a CG——

"I have my own name."

The newly born feathered serpent with gorgeous scales and feathers said, "My name is Ai Shiping."

"...a good name, in the name of love, world peace..."

When he heard this name, the Snake Father, who was not yet called Snake Father, praised the name "Ai Shiping", but suddenly fell into silence.

"You are from another world too."

The snake father sighed, "Are you the one Zalwan brought here?"

“…Zalwan?”

Aiwass remembered that it seemed to be Sizhu's real name.

"Or... Naya?" Snake Father asked tentatively.

——Then who is it?

Aiwass was a little confused.

"It seems your arrival has nothing to do with them."

His confusion seemed to be conveyed to the snake father, who smiled and replied: "But you will meet him later. Naya's full name is too difficult to pronounce, so I gave him a new name, Kunpeng..."

"Do you know what that thing above your head is called? It's called the Sun, also known as the Great Sun. It also has its own name, Taiyi. In fact, your true father and mother are them. I only provided the prototype of the information. Your true creator is actually Taiyi, because He controls the source of creation. This world was recreated by Him..."

"You know, Ai Shiping... this world was destroyed once before. I originally lived in the world before the destruction. Our technology was very advanced. Although we couldn't travel to other parallel worlds, we were able to explore the universe... Do you know what the universe is?"

"What was your original world like? I've never seen an alien as weak as you... Did you come to this world on a skycar? Zalwan told me that traveling between worlds usually requires a skycar. Without one, you'd be lost in the infinite worlds of the Dream Realm, unable to find your way."

"Naya is said to have traveled to many worlds. I'm a little envious of him; I haven't been to any other worlds yet. He said he enjoys traveling to worlds on the verge of destruction, experiencing their demise or rebirth... I don't quite understand his preference, but I choose to respect it. I also used to love standing on Venus, feeling the sun brush past me, feeling the arrival of destruction and rebirth. I think it's probably a similar hobby..."

"Tell me your story, please. Do you also call the world beneath your feet Earth? What year was it in the Common Era? What was the farthest star you ever touched?"

The Snake Father seemed to have endless things to say.

He didn't even pursue "Ai Shiping"'s answer, but would jump to the next topic on his own - just like muttering to himself while holding his cats and dogs.

Snake Father has been alone for too long, too long.

Compared to the dual posture of the Sand Clock, which is either old-fashioned and solemn or mercenary and cunning, the posture of the Snake Father looks more solemn and sacred, yet has a kind of enthusiastic childlike innocence.

But it is natural for him to have a childlike heart——

Aiwass soon learned from the Snake Father that his mental age was not as old as Aiwass had thought.

It was completely different from his reliable adult voice—

Unlike Sand Clock, Sand Clock was already an old man before he became Sinthorn.

As one of the highest masterpieces of the ancient civilization and the embodiment of the essence of rune technology, Fuxi actually only lived for a short sixteen years from its creation to its sealing as a sinner.

But when he woke up, he found himself in a desert.

Except for Sha Shiji, all of them are strangers.

The Snake Father never saw another being of his own generation again. All around him were ignorant creatures, no more advanced than wild animals. Even the Sand Clocks were completely different in race, age, status, and outlook—completely opposite, even.

"...Lonely, huh?"

Aiwass murmured.

The moment he said this, he realized that the CG had ended at some point.

After hearing his words, the snake father suddenly fell silent.

"yes."

The Snake Father sighed, slowly landed on the altar and lay down.

His enormous size was dwarfed by Aiwass's. From head to tail, Aiwass's tail wasn't even half as long as the snake's. Now, coiled and protected by the snake, he looked like a tiny fish.

"I really hope you grow up quickly."

The snake father sincerely hoped: "My beloved children..."
