Chapter 644 Yin and Yang Reversal
An extremely bright and gorgeous red seeped out from Xiong Tiansi's shattered body.
It's like the beautiful and magical light you see when you point a kaleidoscope made of red crystal at a light source.
The four-winged Supreme Heaven dissipated like ash, but the tattered outline of its human form could still be seen. It was like a half-melted ice cube or a sugar painting, seemingly perfect for chewing.
Standing before him, the Silver Crown Dragon slowly raised its blade.
He held the holy sword in his solemn hands—and chopped it down heavily!
There was a sound like breaking glass, and the human figure suddenly shattered completely, turning into a scarlet stream of light and flying into the sky.
When the Lord of Scales and Feathers slightly raised his right hand, part of the flowing light gathered in his hand and turned into a scarlet crystal with at least twenty sharp corners.
It floated quietly in the hand of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, shining red light in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the Lord of Scales and Feathers raised his left hand again.
A portion of the radiance between heaven and earth condensed, forming a deep red sphere in his left hand. It lacked the luster of a gemstone, but its interior bore intricate patterns. It resembled both a pill and a spherical piece of red sandalwood.
"Well," the Lord of Scales and Feathers said, "Although we didn't have any prior agreement... if you two have no objection, I will take his Celestial Master fragment. I plan to unlock the Warrior class, and I'll need it.
"Some of the Supreme Heaven's essence still remains within him... Do you want it, Lord?"
Give it to me, give it to me, I want it, I want it, I want it...
Aiwass muttered to himself.
...Of course, he was just reciting it casually.
After all, he really doesn't need this thing... It's better to say that Aiwass doesn't know what this thing is used for.
"No need."
The Silver-Armored Knight, transformed from the Silver Crown Dragon, shook his head with a cold expression: "Just the chance to completely defeat Supreme Heaven is already a reward."
“—Don’t look at me.”
The sand clock, his hands tucked into his sleeves, looked indifferent. The old man in the yellow robe didn't seem to have any intention of helping. "I'm just here to settle my karma. I won't ask for anything, and I won't accept anything."
The three pillar gods were silent for a moment, and no one made any claim to the crystal ball.
Ai Hua's eyes suddenly lit up: Could it be...
Sand Time, who was standing opposite Aiwass, was the first to notice Aiwass's eyes.
The old man in the yellow robe warned: "No gift comes without a price. Think about the consequences and plan for the future."
"This isn't something you can digest yet."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers lowered his head slightly, half comforting, half explaining, "The essence of the Pillar God is used to deepen our understanding of the Source River... Only a Heavenly Master can properly digest it, otherwise it will only become the cornerstone of the Supreme Heaven's resurrection. Just like the cub from the past."
But the faceless man in the black suit pondered for a moment before letting out a hearty laugh. "Haha, how should I put it... From a fair perspective, Aiwass did contribute greatly to this matter. It was because of his risky participation in this project that the few of us were able to achieve our respective goals—you can end the unfinished war, you can resolve the karma of the past, and I can obtain the mark of the 'Warrior'."
"I think it's reasonable to give Aiwass a share as well. I was planning to give him a red envelope... What are your plans?"
——Boss, my good boss! So generous!
Aiwass was quite moved.
As expected, he is the god of lightspeed final payment...
Not only did he want to give Aiwas some benefits, he even arranged to find other partners to help Aiwas get some red envelopes.
I made the right choice by being the first one to seek refuge with you!
While Aiwass had indeed risked his life and taken risks during the promotion ceremony, strictly speaking, it wasn't as dangerous as the Scale-Feather Lord had claimed. After all, without the ceremony, he would have been killed if Xiong Tiansi had found him outside. As for whether Tianluosha could protect him... Aiwass had always been skeptical.
But with the Silver Crown Dragon watching over the ceremony, at least he wouldn't be killed so easily...
"What are you thinking? You don't think it's safe here, do you?"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers seemed to understand Aiwass's thoughts and sneered, "If it weren't for the intervention of these two, you would have died long ago. If I hadn't paused the ritual, you would have been crushed to death as well. Strictly speaking, you've died at least four times in this ritual... You don't think there's no price to pay for provoking the Supreme Heaven, do you?
"Besides, if this weren't a promotion ceremony, I'd be free to decide where the 'narrative camera' would be... and you'd be crushed to pieces by now, beyond saving."
Aiwass suddenly realized.
I see……
That was not an illusion - when the Supreme Heaven brought down divine punishment, the balance barrier was indeed suddenly restored.
That was the covert interference from the Sand Clock.
Zhigaotian confidently shattered the barrier and launched his attack—the fact that he had developed this habit meant it had been a problem in the past. Repairing the barrier prematurely was abnormal.
Even if it was filtered once by the equilibrium, the lightning strike was still too much for Aiwass to withstand. It was only because the Silver Crown Dragon, disguised as "Arthur," transformed into a dragon and blocked the attack for Aiwass that Aiwass was able to prevent his soul from being completely annihilated by the divine power of the Supreme Heaven.
At the same time, in the material world... that finger had indeed fallen from the temporary world of the promotion ceremony.
It was just that at that time that the Lord of Scales and Feathers cleverly cut a "split screen" through overlapping attacks, pulling the story to the "future", and did not mention the final outcome of Heleqin in the past.
...I'm afraid Heleqin had been completely crushed at that time.
After all, in the past, there was no "Arthur" who could block that attack for him.
"But you're right..."
The Silver Crown Dragon nodded and said, "From a fair perspective, he should be rewarded."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Aiwass: "I have to say, you have a good fiancée."
……Um?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
The Silver Crown Dragon explained solemnly, "My sudden arrival here isn't due to any pre-existing cooperation between me and the Lord of Scales and Feathers. It's simply because Isabel prayed to me."
"……What?"
"The girl prayed to me. She wanted me to protect you, just like I protected Avalon.
"As the monarch of Avalon, she made such a request to me... so I shall come and take a look."
As he spoke, the Silver Crown Dragon glanced at the Scale-Feather Lord and said, "It's a good thing I really came, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity forever—you planned to hunt the giant bear, but you didn't call me."
If the Silver Crown Dragon wasn't the one who ultimately killed Xiong Tiansi, the experience of the source of violence would be lost in the void. If that happened, the Silver Crown Dragon might never be completely complete.
"Oh, because I expected you to come."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said with a smile, "I don't want to anger the Crown Master... I'm a very timid person."
"You prophets are really wasting your time. What if your predictions are wrong?"
The Silver Crown Dragon frowned slightly. "If there's a next time, just call me. I'll definitely come if I can. There's no need to go out of your way to plot against me."
"...Also, I want to thank you. I will remember this kindness forever."
"——How about this, everyone."
Suddenly, Sand Clock said cheerfully, "As the saying goes, everyone gets what they need... If you trust me, I'll be the middleman. How about we make a deal?"
...I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Aiwass felt that Sha Shiji’s tone suddenly became gentler, his attitude became a little more friendly, and his words were also easier to understand and closer to everyday words.
But neither the Lord of Scales and Feathers nor the Silver Crown Dragon had any special reaction to this.
——No, that’s not an illusion.
Aiwass quickly noticed a subtle detail - the sleeve of the sand clock was upside down.
Although Sha Shiji had also tucked his hands into his sleeves before, his left hand was on top and his right hand was on the bottom. This was clearly visible from the height of his arms.
Now the sand clock has the right hand on top and the left hand on the bottom...
The old man's tone had softened noticeably. If he had previously come across as a solitary, taciturn man with a refined manner, he now exuded a kind and benevolent air.
If we say that the previous sand timepiece was a "scholar".
——Then the sand clock at this moment is the "merchant".
