Chapter 1237 The Rising Sun
Aiwass carefully examined and looked at Plotinus, trying to discern his confidence from his words.
Is that confidence or arrogance?
Or is he carrying a secret that he himself is unaware of?
“Amon…”
Aiwass murmured about Plotinus's current beliefs.
God Amun - that is the name of the Second Sun in Horus, and it is also the Taiyi believed in by the Taichu Empire.
Now Aiwas already knows that Taiyi is the original pillar god of this world.
That was the first pillar god of the first source river who was born after Sizhu reopened the source river, decompressed the sin thorns, and used its power to recreate the material world.
——The Way of the Sun, the original creator.
Compared to the abyss, which symbolizes the end and taboos, Taiyi may indeed have the power of restraint...
Plotinus did not give Aiwass any further explanation.
He simply changed the subject and began to talk about what had just happened.
"But you," Plotinus said, a worried look on his face, "killing the priest of the Good Lord in the street... Do you know what this means? Although I have only been here for a short time and I know he is not very popular, I still think this is a bit too provocative..."
When he arrived here, he saw Aiwass kill Aziz and twist his soul into a mirror demon on the spot, sealing it in a palm-sized makeup mirror.
Now the mirror was placed next to Aiwass.
As a mirror demon, when the small mirror is closed, Aziz can neither see nor hear anything outside. He will always remain conscious, alone in pure darkness... until the next person opens the mirror.
Aiwass successfully killed the enemy who cursed his parents and punished him severely -
This should have been a triumphant revenge, but for some reason... a sense of emptiness lingered.
Perhaps it was because he won too easily, or killed too quickly, or perhaps his feelings for his biological parents weren't as deep and clear as Aiwass himself thought... After all, he didn't remember much at the time. And despite his scheming, his adoptive father also truly loved him.
His life wasn't exactly painful, but rather a certain obsession—a desire for punishment and revenge that would never let this person off the hook. This was the influence of the Shadow Sky Division on the material world.
Now that he has fulfilled this little obsession, Aiwass is not as happy or excited as he imagined.
——It’s not about wanting to forgive anything, nor is it about wanting to gain any enlightenment.
But simply feel...
He hasn't killed enough.
"What does it mean?"
Aiwass smiled and looked up: "It means I will kill more people."
His tone was relaxed and calm.
It was as if this was not a harsh remark, but a statement of fact.
At that moment, the air in the car suddenly turned cold.
Plotinus looked at Aiwass in astonishment, his eyes fixed on him. He subconsciously glanced at Zhu Tang beside him, then turned back to look at Aiwass.
Aiwass knew what Plotinus was thinking.
Has he been corrupted by the power of the Good Lord? Has he become a man who acts recklessly in his own right? Does he want to start a war or interfere in Parthian politics?
Was he representing himself, or the New Herasil Empire? Or was this an instruction from the Theocracy and the elves?
Is this divine judgment, or a great act of violence? Where will Anxi go? What will become of Yuan Tiansi, who is about to be taken down? Will the lives of ordinary people be irreversibly changed? Is the sun about to fall?
Looking at Plotinus who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Aiwass gradually restrained the smile on his face.
"I'll kill more people."
He repeated, "Lots and lots of blood. Rivers of blood. I will change an era... like a monarch, like a god. But I will be neither a monarch nor a god."
For some reason, as soon as Aiwas said this, his right eye twitched.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his dim yellow right eye. However, he didn't feel any pulsating blood vessels... but instead felt a subtle humming like the rumbling of a hungry stomach.
——That was the fetal movement from Amber.
"arrive."
At this moment, Leviathan's childish voice came from outside the car.
As the dragon carriage came to a stop, they came to a house.
This is the house where Plotinus is currently residing.
It was neither luxurious nor large. Although owning a single-family home with its own garden was considered wealthy in Oasis City, this two-story duplex, covering only a few hundred square meters, seemed somewhat inadequate for hosting an Amon priest.
Old Iben, on the other hand, looked around after getting off the car and seemed a little dazed.
Aiwas turned and said to Plotinus, "I thought you would live in the palace. Didn't Aymar Nur arrange a house for you?"
"I dare not live in the house that the good Lord has provided for me."
Plotinus was somewhat helpless. "The slaves serve you with great care, and people constantly come to you for your evaluation. One careless word could cost someone their life. Honestly... I don't want to shoulder that kind of responsibility. Just the thought of someone's entire family being killed with a single, unconscious curse gives me the creeps."
"That means you're a good man, Plotinus."
Aiwass was in front, saying without turning his head, "Good people don't have to feel ashamed. They are the ones who should feel ashamed."
"But……"
"Plotinus," Aiwass held the mirror in his hand and pointed it at old Ibn beside him, "You know, his sister adopted Aziz. In other words, he is Aziz's uncle.
"Then his entire family was killed by Aziz."
Hearing this, Plotinus was stunned.
Aiwass pointed at himself with the small mirror again: "And my biological parents were also cursed to death by him."
Plotinus stood there in a daze for a few seconds.
Then he quickly caught up and was on par with Aiwass.
“…I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
He whispered in Aiwass's ear: "So... this is a just revenge?"
"Not revenge, Plotinus. At least not yet."
Aiwass tilted his head slightly and said seriously, “This is for healing wounds.
"If the poison has penetrated the bone marrow, it must be removed by scraping it out. Anxi is already rotten to the core. No matter what kind of help or punishment we offer them, the effect will only be superficial."
He originally had no such awareness.
Although Avalon culture emphasizes helping others when seeing injustice, his adoptive father taught him to "think about those around you." Therefore, Aiwass has been helping others since he was a child, but he is reluctant to cause conflicts with others.
Later, after gaining power from the Theocracy, he began to learn the attitude of the elves - try not to interfere in the politics of the mortal world.
And now...
Perhaps it was because the memories from his past life were gradually revived, or perhaps it was because as he "traveled thousands of miles", he gradually got to know more and more worlds... Aiwass also gradually realized that he could not do nothing.
Yes, his nemesis, the enemy he must defeat is Huan Tiansi; the culprit who destroyed the world is the sealed Dusk Seed, and the one who infected those mad people is the Whisper of the Void.
Then the question arises——
——Is it necessary to touch nothingness in order for a person to degenerate into an evil person?
——Does touching nothingness mean that a person is beyond salvation?
When did he start to judge the good and evil of others based on the Tao?
Just like the Avalon bureaucrats at the beginning, they directly convicted a person based on the fact that he was a transcendent?
"I've come to realize something, Plotinus."
Aiwass said this, stopping on the steps.
The image of Xue Tiansi before his death emerged in his mind.
He thought of the catacombs of the irises.
He thought of the blood slaves raised by the Sons of the Moon.
He thought of the desert guide Anar, the petrified rock city, the scars left by salt torture on the snake priestess, the polite Grandet, the ignorant and wild harpies, and the worship in the city of heaven.
And the person who finally came to Aiwass' mind was Aziz.
Aziz is neither a beginning nor an end.
He was just one part of the process, an insignificant ant, a pebble you could see on the side of the road. He wasn't a necessity, but he was a necessary element in this environment.
Aiwass turned around and looked at the third ring, which was bathed in sunlight and became magnificent, sacred and glorious.
And beneath the shadow of the modern silver skyscrapers, there is the almost invisible oasis in the distance, and the yellow sand beyond that.
"If we overthrow the things that make people unhappy, will we make them happy?"
Aiwass said slowly, "If we defeat the gods that mortals cannot defeat, will the world be at peace?"
If the meaning of his life is to devour Huan Tiansi and kill Xuwu...
What if nothing changes in the world after killing the Void?
In a world without nothingness, would everyone be happy?
As the hero prophesied to save the world, who... is he protecting?
“While the world changes and cycles, the things of the world remain constant.
"The righteous will remain righteous, and the filthy will remain filthy. The king will remain king, and the slave will remain a slave.
"No one ascends, no one descends, nothing changes. The universe is frozen, like an amber egg..."
Aiwass chanted what Huan Tiansi had said and subconsciously touched his right eye.
He slowly uttered his final words: "The world is in an eternal cycle, like a ring with a tail."
——Now, Aiwas finally understood why Huan Tiansi longed for the way of transmigration.
Huan Tiansi is indeed Aiwass himself.
If nothing changes, he will eventually go down this path.
It was precisely because of his incomplete memories of his previous life that he had learned enough local knowledge, education, and cognition that he had disagreements with Huan Tiansi.
——But at the same time, they are different.
One person gets tired, while the other stands up.
Just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
When one sun sets, another rises.
Haina looked at Aiwass and widened her eyes slightly.
Her right hand clenched subconsciously - that was the gesture she used to hold a sword.
Even Haena was moved by Aiwass's words...
Although she didn't look very smart, she was more or less the chief in the past. It's not that she didn't understand these knowledge, but after learning them, she thought they were useless.
Neither astronomy nor mathematics helped her become an extraordinary person.
Whether she is good at literature or music, whether she can recite poetry or compose music, it has no effect on her social status - what ultimately determines everything is how far she can go on the road of authoritarianism.
At that time, Haina thought of one thing -
Avalon is a country of knights, but why are there no knights who can be praised today?
——Perhaps it’s because becoming a glorious and righteous knight like in the stories no longer brings any power.
Or maybe it’s because… the knight in the story was the chosen one.
He is a god who has descended to earth, the adopted son of the elves, the friend of the fairies, and the darling of the world.
They are the protagonists and have nothing to do with the knight's path.
And now...
"You know, Plotinus."
Aiwass said seriously, “There is a god in my eyes.
"The true god... Amber, one of the Nine Pillars. My right eye is the Amber Egg. It is absorbing my soul as nourishment and is about to hatch."
To Plotinus's astonishment, Aiwass continued:
“In just three days, a god will be born.
“This desert was born from inscription; this oasis was born from taboo.
"Amber is about to fall, and Yuan Tiansi will also return to this land. I want the gods of this land to see for themselves what this world has become.
"—Then, using the power of the god who created all this, change it all forever.
"Use the power of amber to reshape the earth, use the power of the abyss to reshape the rivers. Use my power... to begin changing this country, this world."
As for the Sinthorn...
He is indeed the eldest son of this world, the ancestor, and their ancestor.
But worshiping our ancestors does not have to come at the cost of the lives and lives of future generations.
The dead are dead, but the living live on.
In this case, let the dead make way for the living.
——Even if they must be worshipped, there are other places where they can be kept.
"I want to completely change this world," Aiwass said firmly, his eyes flashing with a perfectly coordinated glow of purple and red, "not just saving the world from nothingness—"
"The power of conflict..."
Plotinus murmured softly, "Is this the power of conflict?"
In Horus's cultural beliefs, everything comes from conflict and opposition - this is completely contrary to the original idea of harmony.
The Horus believed that the sun's invincible, eternal radiance was due to the conflict and opposition of two forces. The essence of creation comes from opposition, not gentleness.
Just as rivalries can make both sides stronger, goals or hatred can make people grow. Two countries that regard each other as rivals can become hegemons together...
Without a doubt.
It was Aiwass's hatred of all this ugliness that gave him the power to transcend fate.
——Like a rising sun.
