Chapter 1238 Dream Walker's Heart
Hearing Aiwas' words, Zhu Tang was also touched for a moment.
The middle-aged ritualist with clairvoyance slowly exhaled and said with emotion, "I've witnessed so much on this journey west..."
I saw slaves who were not even qualified to be human beings, and I also saw gods who fell from the sky.
I saw ordinary people struggling against all odds in the tide of the times, and I also saw dynasties that had existed for hundreds of years suddenly overturn and were replaced by new ones...
He also witnessed the rise and fall of the ancient race before the birth of mankind, and experienced the complete growth, confusion and enlightenment of the Savior.
There is no doubt that all this would have been impossible for him to see if he had stayed in the beginning.
"It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Zhu Tang sighed, "When I return, I will definitely compile a biography. I will tell your Majesty all I have seen and heard, and share it with my old friends. It's a pity that I may not be able to see the end..."
Even though Zhu Tang was an extremely powerful wizard, it would be difficult for him to survive the arrival of Yuan Tiansi.
So he always had to leave - that was what he wanted to do most.
Although it was a pity that I couldn't witness the end of Aiwass's story, it was more important to go back and see my family.
"That's not a problem."
Upon hearing this, Encyclopedia Plotinus spoke up, "Everything in this world is recorded in the Dream World. You have forged a bond with His Majesty Aiwass, which is equivalent to obtaining the key to the door of truth."
Before he knew it, he had changed the way he addressed Aiwass to "Your Majesty".
Although Aiwass did not hold power in any country or any court, this was a completely presumptuous title... However, no one present, even Aiwass himself, raised any objection to it.
"You mean..."
Zhu Tang turned around and speculated, "Is it the Dream Monk's ability to see reality in dreams?"
"A glimpse into the truth...?"
Haina was a little confused, but seemed very interested.
Looking at Haina's clear eyes, Aiwas sighed helplessly and explained briefly, "Dream Monks have a special ability, which is the ability to write biographies for others. This ability is similar to the skill of writing tantras... They write tantras to seek out those skills that have been lost in the material world from the dream world and preserve them.
"Then by the same token... a person's unknown experiences should, in principle, also be found in the dream world."
"Just... with a combination? Like a safe?"
Haina understood.
"That's right."
Plotinus nodded to her, his attitude very friendly. "As long as two people can become friends by fate and obtain each other's permission, or find each other's most important relics, the Dream Monk can piece together the other's life information from the dream world. Many great heroes of ancient times, whose stories have not been recorded by anyone, are passed down because of us.
"After all, heroes don't necessarily reveal their entire pasts. Even the fatal flaws in their abilities or crucial weaknesses are hidden within these experiences. How can those pasts, experienced only by them, become known to others? That depends on us."
Generally speaking, the path of wisdom is not very friendly to those who are not very smart.
However, although Plotinus had no impression of this beautiful, strong but seemingly not very intelligent lady, his knowledge as a dream monk allowed him to see at a glance that she had a past of authoritarian career.
Considering that Aiwass's wife was once the queen of Avalon, this might be her maid, bodyguard or spy... But Plotinus didn't think Aiwass needed the protection of a bodyguard.
Hearing Plotinus's proposal, Zhu Tang was somewhat tempted: "I do have the confidence to embark on the path of wisdom... but if I remember correctly, the promotion of the Dream Monk should be quite difficult, right?"
"I remember there is a necessary trait, which is to obtain the trait of 'Dream Walker'."
Aiwass spoke.
"As expected of you, you are truly knowledgeable and well-informed!"
Plotinus praised half sincerely and half flatteringly.
He then added, "Any basic profession on the Path of Wisdom can be promoted to Dream Monk. The essential characteristic, as Your Majesty has mentioned, is the key characteristic of 'Dream Walker'. With this path characteristic, one can enter the dream world at will during sleep and freely travel through the various realms of the dream world."
"With this characteristic, I have the basic ability to travel in the dream world."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and pointed to his forehead.
A ball of dandelion-like white light rested on his fingertips and was pulled out along with thin silver threads.
Seeing this, the two Nephthys guards behind Plotinus suddenly became anxious:
"Master Priest!"
"Please, don't—"
Originally, the two Nephthys guards were like stone statues. No matter what they talked about, their eyes and expressions remained unchanged. They just stood with their heads held high and remained silent.
But now, they came back to life as if they had suddenly been given life, which shows how serious this matter is.
Although Zhu Tang did not open his eyes, he was aware of what was happening just through his perception and hearing.
Without waiting for Plotinus to introduce himself, he immediately waved his hands repeatedly: "No, brother. I appreciate your kindness... but honestly, it's better not to give out such precious things. It will easily hurt feelings. I have kept your words in mind, and I will find a way to become a dream monk later..."
Plotinus raised his hand slightly, signaling the two guards to be quiet.
He calmly replied, "You won't find it. The number of Dream Walker Monks is fixed. Only those who possess the 'Dream Walker's Heart' can gain the Dream Walker's many supreme privileges. For example, they can write tantras and biographies, or learn lost mystical knowledge that can only be mastered by other paths."
"In other words..."
Aiwass was slightly moved when he heard this: "One Dream Wandering Monk must die before a new one can appear?"
It sounded a bit like the mechanics of the Demon Incarnation—whether it was the Demon Incarnation or the Scholar of the Great Sin, both required the Sin Brand. The Demon Incarnation could use any brand, but it required a brand to transform into a Higher Demon; and even if the Scholar of the Great Sin didn't take in a Sin Beast, it still needed at least one Brand of Pride... meaning the upper limit for the Scholar of the Great Sin was just over a hundred.
"Forty-two, but only forty-one remain in the world today, because one of them is Odin, the apostle of the Great Master. This is the only number of true Dream Walker Monks, and the rest are just incomplete Dream Walker apprentices."
Plotinus said seriously, "This is the hard upper limit of the Dream Monk profession... You can also think of it as the difference between 'university professor' and 'university teacher'."
Zhu Tang said without hesitation: "Then I am even more terrible..."
A gentleman does not take away what others like - his family education and upbringing prevented him from taking away something so important and precious from others.
Plotinus shook his head and said, "Listen to me first, brother.
"—In fact, that's why I'm assigned this mission."
