Chapter 1338 When the Sun No Longer Rises

"The long night is coming..."

At this moment, Zhu Tang, who was far away in Taichu, looked out the dark window and sighed, "The long night has finally arrived."

Just like what happened in the ancient past when the cicada shed its skin.

The sun falls and the pillar gods change!

All the transcendents in the world were suddenly awakened at this moment, and a tremor that was almost grief-stricken came from their hearts.

It's like the feeling you get when a loved one is in danger, the power that grips your heart makes you breathless.

And at this moment, people saw a magnificent and brilliant illusion:

In this early morning when the sun has not yet risen, an extremely magnificent giant feathered serpent resolutely flies into the sky!

【——August 1st has been confirmed.】

[——On that day, I will complete the final transcendence: crossing the Twilight Wall.]

[——Regardless of whether I survive or not, and regardless of what lies beyond that wall... I will no longer exist as a Pillar God. Regardless of whether I die, leave, be reborn, or ascend to the throne... I will leave the River of Change.]

[——This world will face the 'eight days without surmounting'. On the eighth day of the eighth month, a new pillar god will ascend.]

These are the words spoken by the Snake Father to the Lord of Scales and Feathers when the cardinals used the divine descent ritual.

Now, as Aiwass witnessed the fall of the Snake Father from the promotion ceremony, the Snake Father in the dream world outside also launched the same charge -

The Snake Father is in the dream world, and it is impossible for Him to "break through the sky" without descending into the material world.

So, He simply flew upwards.

When this scene was reflected in the material world, it became the snake father crashing into the sky.

However……

The originally bright sun seemed to have turned into a huge hole at this moment.

The lightless darkness seeping from within obscured the sky like silt.

When the shining Snake Father crashed into it, the light around Him reflected and illuminated the mud.

——That was a wall.

The boiling liquid darkness that seeped in from the outside world formed a solid wall, blocking all the light that was blooming from the Snake Father.

That is the Wall of Twilight.

"What's on the other side of that wall..."

Gray of the Theocracy looked at the illusion in the sky with worry.

She naturally knew that it was the loophole left behind after Xi Tiansi's death; she also knew that it was the power of nothingness that leaked in.

But what kind of world could give birth to such a terrifying monster?

I am destined to pursue the path of transcendence, and I will never look back until the very end. To attempt to transcend this inevitable fate would be to betray the path of transcendence on another level. This is the paradox of transcendence, an infinite wall with no positive or negative.

The so-called destiny, the so-called inevitable fate, the so-called paradox of transcendence... these are the traces left by the shadow of the snake father in time and space.

The snake father is doomed to die.

Because He had already died in the past—

That "infinite wall with no positive or negative" is the Ouroboros... It is the distorted space-time, the Möbius strip, and the Klein bottle.

[——Just live on like this, carrying every last inch of my life with you. You...are also a continuation of me.]

Those were the words that Snake Father said to Aiwass.

Everything in the past is reflected in this moment——

The next moment when the snake father crashed into the dark sky.

His divine body suddenly exploded.

Just like the extremely hard Tear of Rupert was crushed in an instant, the extremely powerful Snake Father's figure was shattered like an illusion.

But only a very few people know that the Snake Father today is really just an illusion.

When people saw the Pillar God fall and the sun stop rising, they thought it was a sign of the end of the world.

...Maybe from a certain perspective, this is not wrong.

Now almost the entire material world is in chaos.

People were seized by the spreading panic, but true nothingness had not yet officially entered the material world.

At present, the only country that can remain calm is the previously most backward country of Wanning.

Sultana Isabel announced to the people that their god Aiwas would ascend to the throne of the sun.

He will replace the third sun and become the most gentle, greatest and most enduring fourth sun.

He will defeat the darkness that even the Snake Father cannot defeat, and will pierce the night that even Xi Tiansi cannot illuminate!

And people, just have to look forward to it.

Just believe.

Just pray.

Just hope -

And the firm confidence gradually spread from the country of Wanning to the surrounding areas.

Without any fixed prayer words or prescribed rituals, the purest hope was born from people's hearts—the desire for a miracle to happen flowed like a river.

The wishes of one hundred people, one thousand people, ten thousand people...even a million people gather into a river and sink into the dream world.

The source river of creation is eager to try, but in the end it cannot split into a new source river.

Because there are only nine source rivers.

Without the tenth "River of Nothingness", how could the eleventh "River of Miracles" be born?

——Without “10”, how can there be “11”?!

At this moment, in the dream world that was passing at a thousand times the speed, Aiwass had already become good friends with Lucifer.

Aiwass, who had no idea what was happening in the outside world, also happily joined the research on the Tower of Babel.

He saw the pure white little bug.

This was a scene that Aiwas had witnessed in the illusion of contracting Inanna.

The white insect carrying the golden gem slowly flapped its wings and flew towards Aiwas's fingertips.

Aiwass stared at her, his pupils slightly dilated.

Countless old dreams emerged from my heart and then shattered.

Like a dream, like dew and like lightning.

"It likes you very much, snake."

A gentle voice sounded from Aiwas's heart.

He turned around and saw the majestic figure of his friend.

Twelve pure white wings inlaid with gold and jewels, surrounded by a dazzling warm light.

He stood beside Aiwass, looking at the little creature crawling on Aiwass's fingertips with interest: "It likes your light very much. It has the same taste as me."

"...Can I name her?"

Aiwass thought to himself.

"certainly."

Lucifer smiled gently, “If the light in your heart is enough to hatch it, then you are her parent.

"We winged ones are born to the light. We feed on the light in people's hearts, just as you scaly ones feed on physical nourishment... We winged ones feed on the soul.

"Ideals, hope, friendship, courage... these are all precious nutrients, like aphids sucking sap from a tree. That's why they are usually placed in towers, because there is endless light echoing here."

Those familiar words caused ripples in Aiwas' heart.

"if……"

Aiwass thought, "If she's hatched with my light... then she's my child, right?"

"Yes, it will inherit your ideals. Don't you scaly people have a saying? Offspring are the continuation of their parents. The offspring of winged people are also the continuation of their parents—not in terms of physical bloodline, but in terms of spiritual inheritance."

The descendants of the winged ones are also the continuation of their parents—

Aiwass was in a trance again.

He thought of the Snake Father.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, as if his father had left him forever.

...And ironically, more than one father has left Aiwass forever.

Aiwass closed his eyes and pressed the larva against his forehead.

He tried his best to filter out the sadness in his heart and leave more warm hope to feed his first child.

"Your name is... Inanna, okay?"

He thought so in his heart.

So-called people are all stars—

However, the larvae did not react to this name.

It just ignorantly bit Aiwas's fingers and shook its furry wings.

Seeing that it didn't react at all, Aiwas felt a little disappointed.

Because this means that she is the only one who has returned to the past. Inanna, who also witnessed the death of her serpent father, has not recovered her memory.

At this time he knew her, but she did not know him.

…But it doesn’t matter.

This is the original amber.

It was the young, light-eating larva that first encountered the Snake in the Tower of Babel. It was the Inanna who had yet to consume Ai Shiping.

"Nice to meet you, Inanna."

Aiwass smiled helplessly and whispered gently.

And just at this moment.

Amber, sleeping in the amber forest, suddenly opened her eyes.

In an instant, dusk covered the whole world.

Time completely stopped in an instant, and even the Pillar God and the Void were frozen in all thoughts and actions.

In the gap where time stood still, she gradually exerted strength.

The amber she inhabited gradually became covered with cracks, and golden viscous liquid continued to seep out and leak.

"Nice to meet you..."

Amber's hoarse and ethereal voice echoed in the deserted amber forest.

No one witnessed, no one listened.

"——My respected teacher."

The next moment, the amber egg shattered!
