Chapter 1068: Dusk of Destruction
At this moment, Aiwas' eyes were extremely bright.
At this point, Aiwas finally realized clearly why Huan Tiansi wanted to take away the multiple source rivers.
This should have been a very simple question, but because of Aiwas's overly humble character, he could not understand why his other self was so greedy that he was willing to completely let go of the world in order to go home; and even disregarded the life and death of the world in order to become stronger.
Now he finally understood—
In other words, Huan Tiansi believed that the force preventing the fusion of the source rivers was related to the world itself—it was the constraints of zero and ten that made the sacred number impossible to be eleven. If it could reach eleven, it would mean transcending the limit of "ten."
The Path of Love and the Path of Dusk have both undergone severe distortions and, with the passage of time, gradually faded into nothingness. The Path of Balance, the central path, has been best inherited, followed by the Path of Wisdom of the Fourth River and the Path of Adaptation of the Sixth River. Devotion and power—or rather, authority—are already somewhat ill. Beauty and transcendence are even more ill...
Generally speaking, the closer the road is to the sides, the earlier and more serious the distortion will be.
——This may be due to the influence of nothingness on the source river.
If this continues, I am afraid that the source rivers at both ends will be swallowed up first, and the power of love and dusk will disappear.
…What will happen then?
Perhaps love and desire no longer exist in people's hearts, and all things have lost their end; perhaps people are no longer born or die. Or perhaps all transcendents and beings on the Path of Love and the Path of Twilight will become monsters... Therefore, Amber is the most powerful pillar god, and she controls the power to reverse time.
It turns out that when the sky fell, there really was a tall person holding it up.
But the sky had already fallen, and the tall man could no longer hold on.
"Is this how the end of the world will unfold? That's why it's said... the Holy Number of Nothingness is zero, or maybe ten... it devours both sides of the path simultaneously...
"So, perhaps Huan Tiansi wants to take away the path of dedication and transcendence..."
A thought suddenly popped up in Aiwas' mind: "Want to go out and synthesize the Holy Eleven, and then come back?"
"You finally understand."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers' voice slowly echoed in Aiwas' heart: "It is the division of the Source River that has led to the balance of power, thus limiting the abilities of the Pillar Gods and restraining and restricting each other."
"boss!"
Aiwass was a little surprised by the voice he hadn't heard for a long time. "You haven't made any noise since I came back to the material world."
"Because I'm afraid it will affect your thinking..."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers sighed, and Aiwass could even imagine his actions at that moment: "Some things cannot be forced. If you don't understand this truth from the bottom of your heart, then it's just cramming. How can a 'heart' formed in that way be strong and reliable enough to withstand trials and tests?"
"So, my guess is correct? The end of the world really comes from the corrosion of the source river?"
Aiwass asked in his heart, "Huan Tiansi wants to take away the two source rivers. Maybe he thinks that as long as he leaves this world, the source rivers will merge?"
“——That’s why he becomes the backup option.
"You guessed right, Aiwass... This is probably from Huan Tiansi's memories. That's what the corruption from nothingness is like.
"That was a world-destroying disaster known as 'Dusk,' which is one of the origins of the Dusk Path's name. One meaning of the Dusk Path is 'solidification,' and another is 'the end.' All things perish, and death in our world is called Dusk. Thus, the path representing death became known as Dusk."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers finally gave the answer to the question that Aiwass had never understood - since Huan Tiansi wanted to draw away the source river and abandon this world, why would there be any gods who would stand on his side, or even test Aiwass?
The reason is simple, because they don't know whether Huantiansi is reliable.
"dusk……"
Aiwass murmured, "Twilight of the Gods?"
"Yes, that's where the name comes from. They are scourges born from the wreckage of other worlds, bearing the wailing and despair of an entire world. Every Dusk is different... They will devour other worlds in their own way, bringing equal destruction and despair to them. If they can accomplish this, then our world will be destroyed in the same way... We will merge into one, becoming a part of them.
"And if, under the oppression of the twilight, our world is destroyed in another way, we will become the new twilight."
"Death of the World... Dusk Egg..."
Aiwass murmured softly, "Then...what's going on with the twilight of our world?"
"It's called 'Whisper of the Void', and it's just one instance of this twilight... But even so, we tried our best but couldn't defeat it.
"It can corrupt the human heart and will, silently altering their minds while convincing them that it was all their own thoughts. Therefore, it is fatal to our world where 'power comes from thought'... Disembodied demons like gods are powerless against it. Perhaps even some gods have been corrupted."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said sarcastically.
"The Pillar God... can do that too?"
"certainly."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said, "Otherwise, what do you think Candle's Vanguard is dealing with? When the Whisper of the Void descended upon our world, it locked away the only thought that could possibly defeat it—the birth of [Hope]. Originally, the Source River was constantly increasing, but it occupied the position of the Holy Number of Ten, and no new Source Rivers would be born. This is why... Ai Shiping has been pursuing the 'Impossible Holy Eleven'."
Aiwass finally understood——
It's like a group of people are trapped in the mountains, and one person plans to take away all the supplies. He relies on these supplies to at least survive, and he claims that he will go out and find help and return with it.
——The question now is whether this person can be trusted. And how long this world can last.
If they have no other choice, they will eventually have to do so.
But they have a new option - that is to trust Aiwass.
If they trusted Aiwass, Aiwass would lead them straight out of the mountains.
But can they do this? If they can't, it will also mean death.
The reason why Si Zhu didn't have much ill will towards Huan Tiansi was probably because he felt... it was better for someone to survive and pass on the power of this world than for everyone to die here together.
It is even possible that this plan was first proposed by Si Zhu.
"Do you think," the Lord of Scales and Feathers asked, "that guy will come back?"
"I……"
Aiwass was about to say no, but then he fell silent.
...It’s hard to say.
After all, he was once Aiwass. Although he was Aiwass who had abandoned all his devotion...
Thinking of this, Aiwass shook his head, dispelling the momentary strange thought in his mind - he could not put his fate in the hands of others.
"I won't believe him."
Aiwass closed his eyes: "I will save the world."
But now, Aiwass felt a little courage in his heart.
The most terrifying thing is the unpredictable unknown.
Being able to clearly understand the other party's expression means that it is possible to defeat the other party.
"I thought it was something else... but it's just a physical boss."
Aiwass said slowly: "Since there is a health bar - I can kill."
Update is late wow——
Today’s update can’t be published in just 4,000 words, and Quanqinjun seems to have a life on his hands!
Then let's take a little rest tomorrow... I took a day off on the 9th, just in time to go out for a haircut and shower. It's been over a month since I last had a haircut! The update on the 10th will be scheduled to 12 o'clock again. I can't die in vain with my full attendance——
