Chapter 853 This is Kindness
……No wonder.
Aiwass suddenly understood what Huan Tiansi had said before.
That's why Huan Tiansi said that at that time...
"——As long as the reincarnation ending is triggered, it will be fine. After all, this is just a lie, and letting more people survive is the best option... That's what you thought at the time, right?"
Huan Tiansi looked at Aiwass with a smile on his face. "You and I are the same person. Even if I remove all my weak humanity, I can still deduce what you would think based on my rationality and wisdom."
"Every move you make is within my expectations. After all, you are my best work.
"That's indeed the case... Since this world has been frozen, what's the point of remaking it?
"When you're playing a game and fighting a difficult boss...if you already know you're going to die, would you still use those precious consumable items? I bet you wouldn't, would you?
"For the sake of that 'future self' who knows how far in the future... so that he can clear the level. Sacrificing my current life to explore more of the boss's mechanics and develop a better feel for the game—this is a reasonable and correct choice."
"Necessary evil and... premature death?"
Aiwass frowned, realizing what Huan Tiansi was saying: "Adoptive father...Mr. James, was it really you who did this?"
"He's just a pawn. But his ideas themselves can't be said to be wrong."
Huan Tiansi looked towards the distant nothingness and said leisurely, "No matter how you radicalize and abstract his theory, and see through his logical contradictions...it won't hinder another matter.
"—After you've heard this theory, and when you encounter a situation where you can put it into practice, you will still subconsciously consider the possibility of this theory."
"Knowledge is poisonous...is that so?" Aiwass said softly, remembering something.
"Rather than the theory that 'knowledge is poisonous and once you know something you can't escape its influence,' I actually prefer... that knowledge only sculpts you into your future form.
"The future you, the mature you, the complete you... you would have done such things and made such choices. It's just that when you were naive, childish, and immature, you didn't understand certain principles. That knowledge was merely a preview of your original self, your future form."
Huan Tiansi's voice deepened a little, as if he had thought of something, and his mood became less cheerful and cheerful: "Originally... this kind of attitude requires you to go through some setbacks and difficulties before you can become like this.
“Knowledge changes nothing. It doesn’t corrupt, it doesn’t change, it doesn’t poison—it only accelerates the transformation into who you really are.”
He turned back to look at Aiwass, his tone becoming more serious. "Every time the world restarts, even the Nine Pillars of Deity cannot completely transcend the power of reincarnation. In the new reincarnation, those who are destined to die will still die, and those who are destined to become gods will still become gods.
"Only a few beings can retain memories... For example, I, the former master of this power, Amber, its new master, and the Twin Mirrors and Candlestick, the most ancient beings who existed before the cicada shed its skin and became pillar gods. They are larger than the 'Amber Egg' and therefore can retain all its memories and power.
"The celestial officials who existed at that time might have retained some fragmented memories, but they wouldn't know the full truth. That's why Wei Zhe entered the source of 'truth', where the answers to all questions lay...
"—And precisely because he saw the truth, the Silent God said nothing."
Huan Tiansi pointed out the truth revealed by the second painting.
Suddenly, Aiwass recalled what Huan Tiansi had said before:
"—While the world changes and cycles, the things of the world remain eternal.
"—The righteous will remain righteous, and the filthy will remain filthy. The king will always be the king, and the slave will always be the slave.
"—No one ascends, no one descends, nothing changes. The universe is frozen, like an amber egg; the worlds cycle in perpetual cycles, like a chain."
So... that's what it means.
"With each reincarnation, barring the interference of the Pillar Gods, the world always follows a similar trajectory; but whenever the Pillar Gods intervene in the material world, the future is reshaped in an entirely new direction.
This is the truth about the 'promotion ceremony'.
"Those dungeons weren't fabricated by the Pillar Gods. They don't have the time or energy to create dungeons for every group of ascenders... They simply give the ascenders those uncertain pasts and futures to 'test', to find new possibilities for the future of this reincarnation, or the past of the next.
"This is the ninth time. There's a certain possibility that the world will continue to operate like this... continuing this endless cycle for eight thousand years.
"But there's also a possibility that the world's ninth restart is the limit. The ninth restart, the world's tenth turn, will cause the entire world to irreversibly plunge into nothingness...
"——So, this time I intend to sever the cycle of reincarnation."
Huan Tiansi said in a deep voice: "Only in the first reincarnation did I become the end-to-end ring, and the other times were all endless knots; therefore, in this final reincarnation, I will once again become the end-to-end ring, thus forming a complete reincarnation.
"To transcend the cycle of reincarnation, one must sever the twilight; to sever the twilight, one must face the void. With each reincarnation, the Snake Father inevitably chooses to break through the Amber Wall, but each time he never returns alive. Therefore, one must be at least stronger than the Snake Father to have a chance of facing the Destroyer, whose form is unknown and who was isolated by the closed time loop before even arriving.
"I hold no hostility towards you, Aiwass. We were never enemies. I placed you in the material world to shepherd you for nine reincarnations, making you a part of me, accumulating the power of nine reincarnations... Now is the time to reap the harvest.
“Before the final moment arrives, I have come to reclaim my property, a part of me—my humanity and self that I had lost.”
Huan Tiansi said, reaching out and holding Aiwass’ head: “Don’t resist, Aiwass.
"Let's just think of it as the world's sake, okay? If we fight among ourselves, the power we have accumulated will inevitably diminish. If we can't even penetrate the Amber Wall, how can we face the catastrophe of annihilation?
"You're a good and sensible child... Don't make it difficult for me. Just give me your soul. You're already a complete form. As for Aleister, I'll wait until she's collected all the Sin Beasts before I take her back."
"--No."
Aiwass suddenly refused.
He reached out and held Huan Tiansi's arm, looking into his eyes: "It's not that I don't want to sacrifice for the world. I just... don't trust you.
"Just as you understand me, I understand you too. I understand too well... If I gave up all my conscience, humanity, and morality, what would become of me...
"Using the truth to deceive others, concealing your true intentions; exploiting others' trust to achieve your own goals; using others and then destroying them... more like a pure villain than a savior. After all, since you said... whether you devour me or I devour you, the result will be the same, why don't you give me your power?"
"—Furthermore, you have already given me all your devotion, so what do you want to do for the world with this power?
"Furthermore, you are clearly the Heavenly Master of Samsara, and have coexisted with the Pillar Gods of this world for several reincarnations. So why did they all choose to help me... and not you?"
"...I hate intuitive little things like you the most."
Huan Tiansi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why did you do this extra time?"
As he spoke, he conjured up a bottle of wine out of thin air.
It was a palm-sized bottle of blood wine.
"What else could I possibly think?"
Huan Tiansi unscrewed the bottle and sneered, "I want to go home—it's not like I don't have a way to go back. I've already found the way home.
"Unlike people like you who live in this world... Although I don't have a home in that world anymore, it's still much better than this one that's about to be destroyed. I can also take you back with me, isn't that great? When you plan to resign from the company and return home, it's only natural that you should take all your belongings with you, right?
"However, if you don't accept it..."
Huan Tiansi completely removed the seal on the bottle.
An extremely strong fragrance instantly paralyzed Aiwass's brain—
This is, what's going on...
Although he was just a soul, he felt an unprecedented extreme attraction!
"This is my old blood... our old blood. The last bottle of blood I left behind when I was still called 'Shepherd'. Although I had expected this scene to happen, I still had a sense of luck. I originally wanted to keep it as a souvenir... Don't forget, you are also in the form of a soul now - you are also a phantom."
Huan Tiansi sneered and threw the bottle of blood to the distraught Aiwass as alms: "Drink, drink... Drink my blood to your heart's content, and do not sing or speak!
“I pray for the Eucharist…
“—This is… kindness.”
