Chapter 645: Advanced: Scholar of Great Sin (asking for monthly votes!)
...I see. Does this symbolize the hourglass running out and the reversal of yin and yang?
The old man in the yellow robe spoke more and more. He said in an orderly manner: "I will take the thing first, but I will give it to Weizhe. With this thing, Weizhe will be restored to wholeness.
"In this case, Wei Zhe owes me a great favor. I just happened to hear that Hengwo wanted a portion of Wei Zhe's Fountain of Wisdom. I imagine this request is simple enough to fulfill, and the Emperor's Flowing Juice Hengwo can provide is also of some use to my apostles. This way, both Wei Zhe and Hengwo owe Aiwass a small favor.
"At the same time, I will pay some extra costs for Heng..."
As he spoke, the cheerful Sand Clock looked at Aiwass and said, "I understand your situation, Aiwass. You might need this in the future."
The old man's sleeves, gathered together, opened for the first time, revealing something neither black nor white, as hollow as a rift in the world. It looked like a blurry chaos, or like a pair of scissors capable of slicing everything apart.
[The gap between the two yin and yang].
Even though it was the first time Aiwass saw it, he immediately understood its nature.
"This is a secret treasure that can separate all things into two. Good and evil, life and death, success and failure, past and future...
"This Yin-Yang severing method is different from Ai Shiping's tail-severing method. It's a safer method... It can temporarily separate the two paths when they conflict. Once the paths return to the realm of Tai Chi, you can reunite them at any time."
Sand Clock explained to Aiwass, "This power is very dangerous. I can't give it to you directly. You can't control it without the power of the source river. But I can lend it to you once.
"—In other words, if you're about to lose control in the future, you can use the ritual to call upon me. I will temporarily split you into two, isolating you from the conflict. At the same time, these two 'you' can communicate at any time, as if you've mastered a powerful clone technique.
"But this separation can't last too long. Five months at most. Then the two of you must be reunited. Otherwise, you might end up like Zhigaotian and Weizhe, unable to come together again."
——Is there such a good thing?
Aiwass's eyes lit up.
Isn’t that just opening a small account?
Not only can I prevent myself from losing control, but I can finally team up with myself——
But Aiwass suddenly realized and asked worriedly, "But if that happens, won't the two of me fight?"
"Haha," the cheerful Sha Shiji was noticeably more gentle and talkative, even in the mood for a joke. "There can't be two tigers on one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female—and this isn't my fault. As Ai Shiping's extraneous child, you've accumulated too much feminine energy within you... It's because of this that your personality has become so feminine and delicate. Because you are the 'weakness' that he discarded, you have a mirror self of the opposite gender."
"But don't worry, kid. After these five months of separation and adjustment, it will be difficult for you to lose control again. Your current loss of control is actually because you are too easily confusing these two different paths. It's like fishing or driving... You think you are losing control on one side, so you try your best to fall to the other side, but in the end you fall to the other side.
"In Taichu's words, you now need to cultivate your mind in the mortal world—your power is increasing too rapidly, and your mindset to harness it can't keep up. The power of the Dao is precisely the power of the mind. When you fully understand the essence of devotion and transcendence, you'll also gain a clear understanding of the state after the two merge..."
"——Okay, old man."
In this state, Sand Timer was so talkative that the Lord of Scales and Feathers interrupted him, saying, "We'll talk about this later. If you're not in a hurry, I'll end the ceremony first."
As he spoke, the Lord of Scales and Feathers handed the red ball in his hand to Sand Timepiece, then reached out and pressed down on Aiwas's shoulder, moving with him into a gray foggy world of nothingness.
The surroundings fell silent in an instant, and the Lord of Scales and Feathers spoke softly, "By the way, Aiwass. Think of a code name."
"…Codename?"
"Something like 'fox'. Think of another one."
"Why?"
Aiwass was a little surprised: "Can't we just use a fox?"
"That's not impossible."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said meaningfully, "But I'm going to inform all the warrior-qualified people in the world in my dream... Are you sure you want me to tell them that it was the Fox who helped them find this profession?"
...What do you mean? World Broadcast?
"Want to inform the whole world?"
"What else?"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers asked, "If not for this, how would the transcendents who are qualified to become warriors know that the warrior profession has been revived? You are the great hero, Aiwass. I won't take credit for it... This is your contribution."
"That is to say, everyone in the world will know this name..."
"Yes, it will be a very important publicity. You can even give your real name, and then you will become famous all over the world. So which name do you plan to use?"
"'Please support Isabelle, the new Queen of Avalon, thank you, meow'?"
"……ha?"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers almost couldn't hold back for a moment.
"Really?" He looked at Aiwass in surprise. "It seems my previous judgment was wrong. Huan Tiansi still left you with some sense of humor..."
"Of course it's fake!"
Aiwass complained: "How can it be true... Let me think about it..."
Do you want to give your real name?
Or should I report "Aleister"?
He pondered for a long time, and suddenly a sentence popped up in his mind.
So-called people are all stars—
That was the secret message in Aiwas's book of unsealing. Aiwas now knew that this secret message was set by Huan Tiansi himself, and it might even be the last words left by the "previous Aiwas" when he was still intact.
It must have a special meaning, but Aiwass has not yet been able to discover it.
"...Let's call it 'Star'."
Aiwass shook his head and said with some emotion: "No need to tell me my name."
"I'll tell you in advance that there are many people code-named Star," the Lord of Scales and Feathers reminded.
"That's perfect. Just like how Supreme Heaven was ultimately defeated by everyone... the warrior profession wasn't taken back from Him by me, an 'individual'."
"The Supreme Heaven was defeated by the wrath of all living things, and now the profession of 'warrior' is being reborn because of everyone's common aspirations."
warrior.
That is the most common and most popular extraordinary profession.
It is the simplest and most barrier-free profession for ordinary people to embark on the path to transcendence.
If times are changing...
——That was the era when the sky was full of stars.
"Not bad... 'Star'."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers chuckled, patted Aiwass's shoulder for the last time, and walked into the gray fog.
In a trance, Aiwass saw scene after scene -
Heleqin gave a speech under the scorching sun, with his followers holding their heads high and their eyes like stars.
In the next scene, Arthur, covered in blood, emerges from the eye of the giant Aspervaldon;
Origen transformed into a lightning bolt and charged towards Utgaroch, who was many times larger than himself;
Merlin's face was covered in blood, and he looked resolutely at the giant sword flying in the sky;
The Knights of the Round Table gathered together, raising a deafening shout;
Aiwas cut off the holy image of the highest heaven, and the huge sphere fell on him, and he was satisfied with his own karma;
The final scene freezes in the blood-red sky.
Above the sky, a finger is slowly falling.
The next moment, the finger crushed the entire space and the lens shattered directly.
In front of Aiwas, there was only a lonely dark door.
There were no traditional carvings of skulls or demons on the door...
It has only six wings.
Red, blue, yellow, green, white, and black.
"This is……"
Aiwass thought for a moment and walked forward.
As the door creaked open, a path of light appeared from under the door and extended towards Aiwas.
As the elegant and slightly sad sound of the violin rang out, the world around him was built up piece by piece and transformed into a gorgeous golden and red palace.
As Aiwas walked forward, light curtains fell in front of his eyes.
That was Aiwas's promotion score:
[Required tasks completed (points: 200)]
[Giant Slayer: Kill a giant of a higher tier than your own (Points: 100)]
[Giant Slayer: Kill all the Giants at the 'Breast', 'Tenderloin', and 'Rib' gathering points (Points: 500)]

[All tasks completed, totaling 7800 points, ranking first]
【——Perfect promotion! 】
All tasks completed...
Aiwass took a deep breath, but he didn't feel proud of himself.
Because he knew... this was because the Lord of Scales and Feathers had given the task based on his preference.
"We meet again."
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "What a coincidence."
The tall and thin man in a low-key and luxurious black slim-fitting suit appeared in front of Aiwass again.
Where the head should be, there were no facial features or hair, only a silver-black sphere shining with iridescent light.
He was sitting on a chair, legs crossed, in a luxurious palace setting, his hands, wrapped in black gloves, fingers crossed, placed on his chest.
"……boss."
Aiwass murmured softly.
"Shhh."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers held out his hand to his lips. "Don't call me Boss here—we're just doing business. We have to follow the procedures."
As He spoke, He extended His hand toward Aiwass.
Aiwass subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to hold His outstretched hand.
But at this moment, the world beneath Aiwass's feet suddenly collapsed.
At the last moment, he grasped the hand extended by the Lord of Scales and Feathers—but he only pulled down His black glove along with a piece of mud, and the whole person fell backwards, falling from a great height into the abyss.
The feeling of suddenly sinking into the water made Aiwas feel suffocated and his eyes suddenly widened.
But at this moment, three purple lights appeared in front of his eyes, but he could not see anything.
“Could it be…”
There was a moment of hesitation in Aiwass's heart.
The next moment, three clanging sounds rang out in succession—
[Grace of the Pillar God——]
[The Lord of Scales and Feathers has promoted an entry for you! ]
[Warrior Creator (Gold): All "Warriors" under your control will gain +1 Damage (Divinity) when attacking the enemy.]
[Grace of the Pillar God——]
[The Silver Crown Dragon has promoted an entry for you! ]
[Crown of Command (Gold): You can transform your summoned creatures into extraordinary mounts, weapons, or armor at will. The transformation lasts the same amount of time as the summoned creature, and its rank, attributes, and path are the same as those of the summoned creature.]
[Grace of the Pillar God——]
[Sand Clock has promoted an entry for you! ]
[Yin and Yang Harmony (Gold): When your path is in balance, all your mana pools become colorless mana pools. Colorless mana pools are the sum of all your paired colored mana with opposite attributes. When your mana pool is colorless, any action you take that consumes mana will gain different benefits by consuming 1/2/3/4/5 times the mana.]
Damn it, I missed the last day! (Thumps the floor)
Never mind, I'll take a day off on the 1st and let my cat have a day off! I only had one day off last month, what a hardworking cat!
Tomorrow, May 2nd, is the cat’s birthday, so it’s just a day early. I won’t release it if it’s my birthday on the 2nd!
Asking for votes at the beginning of the month~
