Chapter 1077 Pillar God Replacement Plan
The plans and layouts previously carried out by Huantiansi were still a bit too far-fetched for Aiwas.
——At this point, Aiwass finally felt the presence of Huantiansi very clearly.
Think carefully, who are the "protagonists" in the game?
In addition to the player's own main character, there is Aiwass, who has the power of dedication and transcendence, followed by Isabel and Sherlock.
In the real world, the player's main controller and Aiwass are actually the same person - the "son of the snake father" and the "divine entity" has been Aiwass from the very beginning, also known as the Snake Tail of Huantiansi.
According to previous statements, Isabel will become the "pure and beautiful" Queen of Flowers because of a series of trials; Sherlock also gradually abandoned his adaptability to the authoritarian path, and according to similar hardships as Isabel, gradually became an extraordinary person of pure wisdom.
Think about it again, what did Huan Tiansi do before?
The Crown Master was once an apostle of the Heavenly Ring, and it was from the Heavenly Ring that Amber's power to restart reincarnation came. The Snake Father is about to break free from the heavens and depart, and the new Pillar of Deity for this path is the Heavenly Ring himself.
Sizhu possesses irreplaceable qualities—after all, only Sizhu can burn the Sinthorns and lead the army in "virus elimination." Meanwhile, Shashiji needs to maintain the Jedi-Tiantong connection and ensure isolation. These two pillars, one a firewall and the other an antivirus software, are clearly untouchable.
——Then the remaining ones are actually Hengwo, Twin Mirrors, Weizhe, and the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers once had a close relationship with the Huantiansi, who was then known as Ai Shiping, and his own mental state was also quite stable. If he could be considered half a member of the Huantiansi… then the existence of Isabel and Sherlock was clearly the "artificial pillar god" that the Huantiansi intended to create!
The so-called "Pillar Gods" are the cornerstones of the world.
Just like an air purifier or water purifier needs a replacement filter after a period of use, the Pillar Gods, standing on the front lines against the void, will inevitably wear out. Among them, Twin Mirror, Wei Zhe, and Snake Father are "less active" Pillar Gods—they can all quietly fall into the void, or be worn down and infiltrated. The simplest way to combat this nihilism is to replace a new one before the Source River is eroded.
Thinking of this, Aihua suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer:
——As a dream world HR, is Huan Tiansi actually planning to fire the director?
But from this perspective, Huantiansi seems to still be doing something... at least he is not planning to run away and leave it alone.
but……
Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly thought of another thing.
There was another swamp man that Aiwas had previously come into contact with.
—Haina Dane.
Her real father had disappeared long ago, and there was almost no evidence to prove that he was Jacob's ritual assistant.
Haena is a swamp dweller—but no one knows where her true form is. Or rather, she doesn't even have one... Her true form is Lancelot. She can wield the Dagger of Arondite and possesses fragments of Lancelot within her... Therefore, it's highly likely that Haena is a cloned, gender-swapped version of Lancelot!
From this perspective, Haina is a failed experiment.
Because not only did she possess the characteristics of authority and transcendence, but she also had some elements of twilight. This twilight power clearly came from the pollution of the experimental environment.
That's where the problem comes in.
If Jacob created Aiwass so that Huan Tiansi could possess his body, and cultivated Isabel and Sherlock to replace the Twin Mirrors and Wei Zhe... then what was the purpose of creating Haina?
Putting aside the fact that Haena was abandoned and died quickly in the original history - his actions must have been motivated.
This was also Huan Tiansi's weakness... As a true "multi-player," he had long since lost his curiosity, his actions becoming utilitarian, with almost every action having meaning. In other words, he wouldn't go out of his way to do something meaningless.
——Then, there is a possibility.
Haena's value lies in her mere existence.
Her existence not only invalidates the Ritual of Shadow of Avalon, thus pointing to Shadow Tiansi... I'm afraid there is another point.
That is the Silver Crown Dragon.
The Silver Crown Dragon himself is the Pillar God who once possessed transcendence and authority!
In the original history, the Calamity Dragon, which was the other half of the Silver Crown Dragon, was only revealed after Haina's death.
As the mirror image of Haena and Lancelot shattered, the delicate balance between the Silver Crown Dragon and the Disaster Dragon was also broken.
However, there was another possibility - that Haina, the leader of the Hyena Gang, did not die easily. Although she was directly attacked and killed by Ying Tiansi, she might have been rescued again.
Because she is the opposite of Lancelot, she is really suitable to be a sacrifice, or a carrier of the gods...
——The carrier of the disaster dragon.
Because Aiwass remembered very clearly that when the Calamity Dragon first appeared in the plot, it was not in the form of a dragon - or in other words, it had the ability to transform into a human.
She was a tall beauty wearing sharp black and red armor, with a helmet covering the upper half of her face. She had a good figure, the lower half of her face was fair-skinned, and her voice was filled with a cold and mature tone.
She used the pseudonym "Arthur" at the time and even joined the protagonist team to participate in the investigation. It was only later that her true form was revealed, transforming into a black and red dragon.
The leader of the Hyena Gang, "Nameless," was also a tall beauty. However, her body was covered in scars that had been deliberately left unhealed to enhance her adaptability to the Twilight Path. Therefore, when Aiwass thought of her, his first thought was "Scarface."
...But now that I think about it, "Wuming" and "Arthur" do have similar physiques.
The Calamity Dragon clearly possesses a "nothingness"-style ability. It is the purest villain in the entire game, the kind that wants to destroy the world. Except for the Calamity Dragon, every other villain has their own aspirations, but the Calamity Dragon does not.
Perhaps it was the Calamity Dragon that was eroded, or perhaps the Silver Crown Dragon handed over the eroded parts of itself to the Calamity Dragon.
In that world line, Edward, who had the heart of the Calamity Dragon transplanted, accidentally killed Aiwass when attacking the player. The blow was the ability of the Path of Nothingness.
If that's the case, then James, the adoptive father, suddenly gained an unreasonably powerful strength—perhaps part of the reason was that he accepted the gift from the Twilight Seed! That's why Jacob was against James!
"I think I understand..."
Aiwass murmured softly, "For Pillar Gods who refuse to cooperate, we simply select someone to replace them. And for Pillar Gods like the Silver Crown Dragon who are willing to obey him, we find a way to drain his 'poisonous blood' to restore the Silver Crown Dragon to a stable state.
"So..."
Aiwass suddenly looked at Yulia beside him.
Yulia tilted her head in confusion.
Aiwass's expression turned ugly.
Because he remembered another thing——
The protagonists are not just Sherlock, Aiwass and Isabel.
Theoretically, there is another one...that is Yulia.
And Yulia herself is also a swamp person created by Jacob!
Within her body lies the seed of the high-ranking Phantom Demon, the Butterfly of Rebellious Flame, a path of pure devotion. The Butterfly of Rebellious Flame is a completely new Phantom Demon, one that does not exist in the Dream World and has no previous life. Logically, this type of Phantom Demon should appear when the soul transforms into a Phantom Demon in the Source River, rather than directly becoming a Phantom Demon egg and falling into the material world.
So is there a possibility that Yulia - or the Butterfly of Rebellious Flame, was also the person that Huan Tiansi originally wanted to replace Si Zhu?
In this case, not counting Hengwo... the three outermost pillar gods close to the Path of Nothingness were all replaced by mortals by Huantiansi.
There is even another possibility.
——Perhaps Hengwo was also cultivated by Huantiansi!
This is not impossible. After all, before becoming a pillar god, Hengwo was not even a celestial official, but just an apostle.
And Yulia—she too was adaptable to the path of devotion, quite strong in fact. She endured pain for a long time but remained silent, simply because she didn't want to upset others.
Her soul has talents in balance, wisdom, dedication, and transcendence. She chose to become an alchemist in order to give Aiwass some off-field help, so that she can be of help when it is inconvenient for her to go on adventures in the wild. Later, she gradually became addicted to alchemy.
Is there a possibility...
...Was Yulia manually "destroyed" by Huantiansi?
