Chapter 667: Ouroboros's Great Achievement
"Shh..."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers simply extended his right index finger, raised the slender black-gloved finger in front of him, and made a mysterious gesture: "This is a secret, not something you should know.
"You want to kill Him anyway, right? Your power to transcend the Path comes from your sins... If you continue to grow stronger, the Fallen Angels will sooner or later notice you. As the other half of the Ring Angels, you can't possibly have this power only with the Fallen Angels' permission.
"That bad-tempered fellow wouldn't be so forgiving."
"But aren't we collaborating for mutual benefit?"
"Cooperation means I don't have to pay you specifically for it. You'll also benefit from it—it's not like you're working for me, it's like you're investing in a business with me. It's better to put your heart into your own projects."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers laughed in a low voice: "Anyway... I gave you that thing in advance, didn't I?
"—The essence of the High Heaven."
"...You mean, I'm going to die here?"
"Who knows? I can't see your future clearly. After all, you are the variable itself. Even if I could see it clearly, it might not be accurate."
The man in a black suit, his head filled with chaos and darkness, said lightly, "One more life is enough for you.
"By the way, as for your doubts about what Huan Tiansi is going to do..."
Suddenly, the Lord of Scales and Feathers added, "In fact, you have already guessed it in your heart just now - you already knew the answer to that question, but you just didn't realize where the problem lies."
...I guessed it? Which one?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
The darkness around him dissipated again.
"Boss, boss?"
Aiwass called out to the Lord of Scales and Feathers again, but found that the boss no longer responded.
There is a perfunctory feeling of "Sorry, my phone is out of battery, I'll hang up first."
This thought came to Aiwass's mind.
Although he didn't know why the Lord of Scales and Feathers and the Ring Heavenly Master wanted to target the Fallen Angels together...but Aiwass felt that the boss might also be involved in the plan of the Tail Ring.
...I guessed it? What did I guess?
Aiwass was a little confused.
But at this moment, Aiwass found that his surroundings were unexpectedly quiet.
Looking up, I found that the noisy cardinals had disappeared.
Aiwass carefully sensed the time and found that more than half an hour had passed. This time, the Lord of Scales and Feathers did not maintain time as last time, but directly dragged him into the world of consciousness.
At this moment, Aiwass was sitting cross-legged on a metal lotus platform. Only Cardinal Cyril was left here - and the snake father on his body had completely dissipated.
Cardinal Cyril once again became the gentle and somewhat cunning old man.
"Awake?"
Cardinal Cyril's kind voice rang out.
Aiwass looked up. "Did they just leave?"
"I've been gone for a while."
Cardinal Cyril said cheerfully, "Congratulations! You've been promoted and passed the assessment—double happiness! Now you're truly set to become a legend in the Theocracy... Never before has a human been so highly regarded by the Ennead."
——To be honest, the Nine Pillars of God still don’t take humans very seriously.
Aiwass thought to himself.
In a sense, he was able to sign a contract with the Lord of Scales and Feathers because of his unusual background. It could be said that he had "some connections."
But he could understand... for the infinitely long-lived Phantom Demons, human lifespans were far too brief. Simply reaching the fourth energy level meant one was already halfway through life, perhaps even in the latter stages. Then, cultivating interests beyond the path of devotion, developing them to the point of earning the Pillar God's approval, and then passing the assessment to become the Pillar God's recognized spokesperson on earth...
...and then they retire or even die within a few years.
There's a type of American who hires new employees, trains them for two weeks, works them for two days, and then leaves. Even Aiwass wouldn't bother hiring them.
And if you recruit a giant, an elf, a dragon... you don't have to change people for at least hundreds of years. If nothing else, at least it saves you trouble.
At least from Aiwas's perspective, none of the Nine Pillars of God in this generation seemed to be particularly active.
"The cardinals walked quite fast."
Aiwass felt a little regretful: "I was just dragged away by the Lord of Scales and Feathers for a small meeting...I didn't get to meet them. What a pity."
He was particularly curious about the two agents chosen by Twin Mirror and Hengwo.
Moreover, he had previously mentioned that he wanted to contact Cardinal Valrhona.
Furthermore, Cardinal Fafner and Cardinal "Topa" Siegfried, whom Aiwass had previously met, had both acquired the Warrior class due to his influence. While they weren't professionals, and their dedicated Path classes weren't directly stripped away, they were likely to be significantly affected.
But he never had the chance to see them again - when he woke up again, he was already sitting upright on the lotus platform like a Buddha.
"I know."
Cardinal Cyril nodded lightly and said, "The Lord of Scales and Feathers has already greeted us. You weren't unconscious at the time—you were in the Agent state, a state of deep involvement by the Pillar God. You were sitting here 'on your own'; I didn't move you here."
"…What did the boss tell you?"
"Boss? Uh... your name for the Lord of Scales and Feathers is quite novel. I thought only the apostles of the Sand Clock would call their Pillar Gods that."
Cardinal Cyril was visibly surprised by Aiwass's address.
But he quickly explained, "It's nothing serious. He just told us to take good care of you. He doesn't plan to find another representative from the church."
...In other words, does Aiwass also monopolize the contract of the Lord of Scales and Feathers like Cardinal Loki?
"They left quickly. It has nothing to do with you. It's mainly because the Theocracy is in a state of chaos right now... They're all very busy. Especially since the appearance of the 'Warrior'..."
Cardinal Cyril sighed, "In my opinion, these changes are not your fault, nor do they have anything to do with the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
"From a theological perspective, this is because the Serpent Father has reached his peak. The power of transcendence in the world has now reached its peak... I predict that a large number of phantom demons will be promoted to celestial officials.
The Serpent Father is about to leave his throne, and so, in addition to transcendence, concepts like 'transmutation,' 'degeneration,' and 'rebellion' are beginning to become active. The apostles will rebel against their former masters, and all kinds of chaos and rebellion will occur in the mortal world. This is 'rebellion'; the old warriors will transform into those who adapt, and the adaptive path that has remained unchanged for thousands of years will also change. This is 'transmutation'; people will become restless, wars will become more intense, and the stable theocracy will begin to become noisy. This is 'degeneration'.
"Avalon a while ago, and now Star Antimony—the same thing happened with the rebellion on Narcissus. The trolls in the southern continent, the dwarves in the north. The Fourth Water War is just around the corner, and there's even a rebellion on Horus' side..."
This cardinal who had made a pact with the Serpent Father spoke of a point that Aiwass had never realized.
...Oh, yes.
Aiwass reacted.
He finally realized what the Lord of Scales and Feathers had just said about "he had already thought of it" -
The Pillar God is closely connected to the entire world, just as the rules established by the Supreme Heaven, the Lord of Beasts, Hengwo, and the Silver Crown Dragon will affect the entire world.
After the Tail Ring ritual became widespread, a large number of Celestial Officials perished...
...But as far as Aiwass currently knows, there are not so many celestial officials in this world today.
Not to mention anything else, just the path of authority and the path of transcendence - there are less than five celestial officials in these two paths combined.
But if you say...
Is it from this time that they became celestial officials?
The Serpent Father was about to ascend, his path to transcendence reaching its perfect destination. The source river boiled, and the transcendental power of the entire world went into a frenzy... just as the levels of the original players and NPCs began to rapidly increase at this time.
In the dream world, the number of celestial officials also began to grow rapidly!
——From this perspective, the Tail Ring Ceremony can actually be considered to be balancing the relationship between the dream world and the material world!
No wonder, even though those Celestial Beings were clearly victims, the Sand Clock turned around and helped the Material Realm to kill them, instead of dealing with the Huan Tian Si who had initiated all this... and even watched Huan Tian Si become a Pillar God.
Refer to the process of the Silver Crown Dragon's ascension to godhood - even if one of the Pillar Gods raised objections, he would not be able to hold on to this position.
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Suddenly, Ai Hua suddenly understood.
Everything makes sense!
It turns out that all this is really the great achievement of Huantiansi!
——This plan that caused chaos in the world can actually be considered a great achievement through this method!
Update completed meow!
