Chapter 1255: Fluttering Wings in the Light
"finally……"
Aiwass woke up from the hallucination with flickering eyes and whispered softly.
The memory of Ai Shiping was so clearly engraved in his heart.
That may be the part that Huan Tiansi is most reluctant to let go of, and it is the origin that he has engraved in his heart.
Aiwass finally found out... the identity of the pillar god "Taboo" who only appeared in the background of the "Cicada Shell Incident" but had never been recorded in any records.
——That was the Pillar God that Ai Shiping, the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, ascended to in the first episode!
Combined with his previous inference of Yuan Tiansi's identity, Aihua immediately understood the essence of Lingbo Tiansi -
Amber Celestial Master, descended from a giant, serpent-like sea monster, his true form consisting of only an amber-colored human skull. His spine remained in the material world, forming the core of the Ziggurat.
...a deity with a serpent's body and a human's head, possessing a unique skull, born from the sea, possessing a mindless devotion to Amber, always protecting her while she slumbers, a gravekeeper intent on "remembering" everything. Lingbo Tianshi even assumed some of Amber's Pillar God responsibilities, a move the other Pillar Gods had no problem with, and even the Sand Clock acknowledged.
Isn’t this Ai Shiping?
Just like Ai Shiping in the first game, who abandoned his body and only had his head transformed into a golden apple left!
From another perspective… the word “lingamber” itself means “amber encasing insects”.
If insects are the pillar god amber, then why is Lingbo Tiansi called "Lingbo"?
Wasn't the taboo itself, which had turned into a coffin, what was wrapped around the "insect" at that time?
And the same...
The "Sea Burial Tantra" suggests that a snake was killed by a bird, and the bird, born from the snake's belly, burst forth, and the giant snake's corpse, sunk into the sea, transformed into a monster. Yuan Tiansi is depicted as a mass of enormous, ferocious tentacles—couldn't tentacles also be considered a snake without bones?
Lost of the power of reincarnation, yet possessing the authority of the scaly beings... he was a sea god of destruction, capable of unleashing endless waves and drowning all civilizations. When the void descended, perhaps Yuan Tiansi's methods could be considered a "last resort"—annihilating the entire world and recreating it from the primordial ocean.
If "Twilight Seed" is a virus, then this is probably formatting.
One is total destruction, the other is ultimate preservation.
If you combine the story of the birth of Lingpo Tiansi and the story of the birth of Yuan Tiansi, that is exactly the truth of what happened on the "Day of Cicada's Shedding of its Shell"!
These two celestial officials of the forbidden path together represent exactly "taboo"!
...What's going on? Did the Sand Clock undergo a cut? Or...are the Great Abyss and the Amber also the serpent's tails that were cut out?
If it was the latter... considering that the Ring Celestial Master had been replaced during a certain reincarnation, and the serpent's tail had swallowed the serpent's head, it's possible that the original Ring Celestial Master later became one of the Great Abyss or the Spirit Amber.
After realizing that the forbidden power had been contaminated, he cut out the current Huantiansi, which was completely free of forbidden power... It was like Huantiansi completely gave the power of dedication to Aiwas.
Aiwass is not clear about the details of this part yet.
But Aiwass already knew what happened in the first week -
The sun's fall meant the demise of Xi Tian Si. And since Xi Tian Si and Heng Wo were two sides of the same coin, this meant Heng Wo was also dead.
The sin thorns are growing wildly and civilization is in ruins, which means that Sizhu, the "sin beast", is also dead.
Gravity is disrupted, there are no stars in the sky, and ruins are floating in the sky, which means that the sand clock that controls the laws and order of physics is also dead.
The moon turned into a blood moon, which meant that the Pillar God who controlled the First Source River had become the Blood Sky Master. And He had also been contaminated by the void... just like what happened in this world line.
Without the help of the Ring Celestial, the Crown Celestial would have been unable to ascend to power. Therefore, the Seventh River's Pillar God remained Supreme Celestial of the Path of Power... This was probably why Supreme Celestial said to the Silver Crown Dragon, "I'll wait for you at the Twilight of the End," when he was finally slain by the Silver Crown Dragon. Perhaps he wasn't completely dead at the time, and some of his memories remained.
Perhaps it was from this moment that the Supreme Genius completely fell. He dreamed of the end of the world and believed that the power of the end of the world had completely overwhelmed him, so he decided to give up and choose to enjoy himself in the moment; just like the great philosopher who, after witnessing the truth, chose to remain silent and do his best to prevent the spread of nothingness.
——Wisdom that is useless even if you know it, and power that can do nothing.
It is precisely because of this...in the subsequent reincarnations, Huan Tiansi will clearly help Mian Tiansi to ascend to the throne and replace the passive-aggressive Supreme Tian.
The dragon still exists but is polluted, which means that the path of adaptation still exists, but the Lord of Scales and Feathers may have also been polluted by the dusk; without the snake's temptation, Lucifer would not try to ascend, but would be content to be the master of the Tower of Babel and the king of the winged ones, so the Fallen Angels would not exist.
In addition to the Snake Father who is likely to have surpassed him, the number of source rivers that are known to have problems or whose pillar gods are dead is the first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth... Considering that the differences still exist, the only one who survived to the end was probably the Twin Mirrors.
——When one is caught completely off guard, the erosion of nothingness leaves no trace.
It was a god-killing plague spread through words, emotions, and thoughts... By the time the symptoms were discovered, it was already too late.
And in the end... Amber used the ritual of killing the pillar god to take away all the power of the dying "forbidden" Ai Shiping, and used the tail ring to complete the first restart, reaching the second round.
That was an attempt by Amber and the Ring of Heaven to reverse much of history through a tacit collaboration. It was also from that time that the Silver Crown Dragon was born, and the Fallen Angel and the Ring of Heaven were born. The Pillar Gods finally survived to the end, regained clear memories, and began the third round.
"Is this what you wanted to tell me..."
Aiwass stared at the white larvae resting in his hand and murmured softly, "Amber..."
However, the larva did not react to the name.
It just ignorantly bit Aiwas's fingers and shook its furry wings.
At this moment, Aiwass was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted -
——This is not the "Pillar God Amber". The amber that was born from the future and died in the past.
Amber, the real pillar god, could no longer hold on.
The only pure memory it retained was the one it had just passed on to itself. As a pioneer in resisting the erosion of nothingness, she had endured for more than nine times the time of Hengwo and the Beast Master... and now it was almost completely burned out.
This is the original amber.
It was the tender, light-eating larva that first encountered the "snake" in the Tower of Babel. It was the larva that was preserved in the "amber" of the future and hatched again today.
It had no memory of Amber, nor had it ever eaten the snake's light. It was a brand new individual... After it woke up, the first light it ate was Aiwas's light.
If the amber belongs to Ai Shiping... then the larva flapping its wings now is the "amber" that belongs only to Aiwass.
They are the same person, just as Aiwass and Ashley are the same person, but they have parallel memories and different lives.
This is not amber.
But a resurrected worm.
"...In that case, I have to celebrate by giving you a new name."
Aiwass was silent for a long time, looking into its amber eyes, and whispered, "To celebrate your new life...
"How about calling her Inanna?"
