Chapter 1158 Aiwass: I have a good relationship with Huantiansi
After hearing what Anar said, Aiwas, who was not very interested at first, suddenly became interested.
——The temple of Huantiansi?
The last time he saw the temple of the Huantiansi was in the nineteenth ring of the Theocracy.
Hearing this, Ligeia also became interested: "The temple of Huantiansi is not common."
As a metamorphosis sorcerer, she belongs to the Huantiansi faction in terms of power alignment.
Just like Arthur before he ascended to the Crown Celestial Master. Although this power to change appearance came from the Butterfly Celestial Master, it was the result of a transaction with the Ring Celestial Master, just as the power of the Great Sin Scholar also came from the Ring Celestial Master.
She has now completely completed her second transformation and is no longer the Silver Dragon Lolita.
Since defeating the Fallen Angels and absorbing the remnants of Lucifer, Ligeia has completely transformed into a winged being. The only dragon features visible on her are the pair of tapering, elongated, curved horns on her head and a few silver dragon scales on her forearms and calves.
At this moment, Ligeia had a pair of soft, warm white wings behind her ears, feet, and waist. With her long silver-white hair and crystal-blue eyes, she looked as pure as an angel.
And she looked much older than before... Ligeia looked like a little girl before, but now she looked to be around eighteen or early twenties, and looked like the same age as Isabel.
Ligeia's unusually sacred posture filled Anar with fear.
For these desert people, compared to the holy and inviolable gods and angels... demons are more common and easier for them to accept.
Because demons were most likely living nearby, they had seen them all. In the desert, even the cruelest and most evil demons were nothing more than a "living scimitar." But anything that was too sacred and pure was something they absolutely could not touch or dared approach.
Whether it was a foreign dignitary or the private collection of a benevolent master, it was something that these lowly people dared not touch. Even if they contaminated a single feather with their sand-stained hands, they would surely die.
Young men and women who are too pure and beautiful may be taken as slaves because of their beauty; cloth that is too clean may be taken away or torn by the jealous; gems that are too clear may be stolen or robbed by all kinds of people...
Over time, an instinct of "fear of cleanliness" is formed.
When Anar saw Ligeia coming towards her, she was so frightened that she trembled all over, leaned back as far as she could, and dared not move.
Although Aiwass didn't quite understand the principle behind this, he could understand Anar's fear.
He reached out and pulled Ligeia, explaining casually, "That's not surprising. The ancient kingdom of Parthia is currently the only country where a large number of snakemen still survive. Nowadays, the snakemen of both Taichu and Avalon have almost disappeared. Apart from Parthia, they can probably only be found in the southern continent.
"The main deity worshipped and offered sacrifices to by the snake people is Huan Tiansi."
"Shouldn't it be Snake Father?"
Ligeia was confused: "Snake people are a race created by the Snake Father, right?"
"That's true, but Snake Father doesn't really care about these trivial matters. It's not that Snake Father is indifferent... Rather, since the time before the High Heaven, few Pillar Gods have cared about such matters."
Aiwass shook his head: "Besides the Blood Sky Master and the Mist Sky Master, there aren't many other gods in the Dream Realm."
After all, long ago, even the high and mighty gods coexisted with mortals on earth. Before the Great Transmigration of the Universe, these races emerged simply to test the power of the River of Creation. The gods needed neither faith nor territorial expansion from these races.
It's like some AI-powered drawing software that the Sun's Path Pillar God developed and let the other colleagues play around with. Then, whether out of interest, boredom, or just to show respect, everyone contributed a drawing... and then the topic faded. Few cared what happened to their own drawings.
After the Jedi and the sky were connected, the pillar gods lived in the dream world where they could create things with their thoughts. The material world had less meaning to them... It was like after entering university, the classmates' groups from junior high and high school were no longer of much significance; after graduating from university, they might not even open the classmates' group anymore, and at most they would just chat privately with a few close friends.
——Supreme Heaven is like that guy who, after graduation, continues to be very active in university clubs, and even remotely controls his "direct descendants" to fight for power and profit with another group of younger generations he has never even met.
Because the other pillar gods are too lazy to care, the giants who are obviously favored by the pillar gods will kill people in the material world.
"Compared to the Snake Father, Huan Tiansi is more like one of 'their own.' He's a genuine snakeman, just like Acropolis and Yao Tiansi. They truly care for snakemen, just like the Crown Master is relatively more caring towards humans."
Aiwass explained softly, "The snake people are still able to survive today largely because of the care of the Medicine and Ring Celestials. Therefore, almost every snake person has mastered herbs and rituals."
——Even if there is no intentional bias, subconscious likes and dislikes will have an impact.
After all, not all gods are as benevolent as Shadow Sky... The Silver Crown Dragon has never accepted dwarves or snakemen as apostles, no matter how much they respect authority and worship the Crown Master; except for the Feast Master, most of Hengwo's dancers are elves, or humans who are the "elf lite" version.
Even if it is just the aesthetic difference of "which appearance is more preferred", it will affect the individual likes and dislikes of the superior, and thus lead to the inevitable unfair competition.
After all, the selection criteria for apostles is entirely based on the gods' preferences, and the power they receive as "salary" is also paid by the gods themselves. "Beauty" is indeed one of the fundamental laws of the world, and the influence of "personal preferences" cannot be ignored. As long as the gods are willing to sacrifice enough power, even a worthless mortal can be promoted to an apostle.
——This is also the reason why the dwarves hope that Flame God or Rock God can be promoted to Pillar God.
They are the ancestral race of the dwarves and are real family members.
Although in the eyes of humans and elves, the idea of sending a "pillar god belonging to the dwarves" by any means necessary is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and even ridiculous... but for the dwarves, this is indeed necessary to a certain extent.
If you haven't experienced this kind of hardship, you won't be able to understand their obsession.
"Anar," Aiwass turned back to look at the guide, "Change direction, I want to go to the Snake Temple."
Anar was shocked when she heard this: "But, sir..."
She wanted to refuse - because this meeting was completely unplanned.
After all, her job for a living is to ferry people back and forth from one side to the other.
Not everyone was like Aiwass and his group, transported by luxurious carriages... For mortals with insufficient supplies and weak physical strength, a temple where they could rest during their journey was their hope of survival. If the snake people refused them entry, they would only face death.
So Anar didn't want to offend the snake people.
"Don't worry, Anar."
Aiwass said in a gentle voice, "Let's put that aside. I just told you... This job is inherently unsafe. It's a dead end sooner or later. And we won't break into the temple... Huan Tiansi and I don't have any conflicts. It's better to say that we have a very close relationship."
"As long as the snakemen guarding the temple refuse us entry, we can just turn around and leave. How about that? Trust me, Anar. After all, it would be hard for us to find our way without you."
“…Alright then.”
Anar reluctantly agreed and repeatedly confirmed with Aiwass: "If the snake people don't want us to enter, please don't attack them."
She wasn't worried about anything happening to the group.
The people of the desert are accustomed to judging the strength of others by their clothing and mental state. This has been engraved into their instincts. Many gentlemen like to play the game of "incognito", pretending to be civilians out for a walk. If they are not recognized, they will lose their heads.
Instead, she was worried that she might bring trouble to the snake people...
Although the snake people are cold, they have been partners for several years.
"Don't worry."
Aiwass said meaningfully: "Maybe they will warmly welcome us in."
How could it be possible——
Anar pursed her lips, not very happy.
How could a cold-blooded snake-man possibly be so warm to humans? Sure enough, those dressed in fancy clothes are always lying!
