Chapter 880 I will heal you
Aiwas knew that what Master Chongbo said was probably correct.
This was probably the reason why the Winged Celestial Master and the Ring Celestial Master were pursuing the Eleventh Source River—as long as the power was obtained from within the world, it would be impossible to transcend the world itself. Without breaking the limit, it was naturally impossible to violate the law.
Because Aiwass remembered very clearly...how the "Aiwass" in the game died. When he was still relatively weak, he would even occasionally have such nightmares.
It was Edward's older brother, brought here by his adoptive father, who ultimately killed him. Under his adoptive father James' guidance, Edward fused the heart of the "Dragon of Disaster," wielded the tainted, broken holy sword "The Sword in the Stone," and later absorbed three fragments of the Celestial Being. By then, his strength had completely surpassed the limits of this world's capacity, so much so that even the Pillar Gods couldn't directly harm him in the material world!
So in order to fight against Moriarty, the Pillar Gods gave their own artifacts to the players.
In this situation, it is still quite difficult to fight against Edward.
Is Edward stronger than the Pillar God? Of course not, but the material world itself has its own world limits, anchored by the Sand Clock. Even the strength of the lower realm's Celestial Masters is not as strong as Edward's, despite his accumulated strength—perhaps this is why, as they approach their world limits, they begin to be restricted by the Sand Clock. The Celestial Masters' own power is also suppressed, while Edward, who is not at his full level, is able to unleash miraculous powers that transcend their limits!
Looking back now, the Night Demon, who had reached the sixth energy level due to Aiwass's pastoral training, was also restricted by it; but Master Chongbo, who could use the power of the seventh energy level, was not restricted...
...So that's why it's impossible to upgrade to the top level?
The last level cannot be upgraded, but must be stacked up with various bonuses. This is the only way to achieve miracle power without being forced to balance by the Sand Clock.
No wonder the last level of the Eternal Pope relies on the Holy Crown...
But Aiwass caught another detail from Master Chongbo's words - he seemed to know that the level cap could be raised.
Even Professor James, who came from another world line, didn't know this!
Those demonologists who prepared the Tail Ring ritual probably didn't know the principle behind their increased power levels. In fact, it was the entire world that had reached its upper limit...
The average person probably wouldn't even consider this possibility—the fact that the energy limit of the material world is the sixth energy level is something one's deeper understanding of esotericism should firmly believe. This is because, from the earliest times to the present, this limit has remained unchanged. It's like thinking about "what would I do to survive if gravity flipped"—something they only actively ponder as a "possibility."
Aiwass looked at Master Chongbo deeply, but Master Chongbo did not reply.
Instead, he shifted his gaze and looked at the ruins of the Tower of Babel in front of him.
"Be careful."
Master Chongbo warned, "Since this history has been preserved intact, it means it might still be operating."
"Will there be any living people?"
Kitty asked nervously.
Chongbo shook his head: "Probably not... probably."
"……perhaps?"
Drifter questioned, "What do you mean by 'probably'?"
"Preservation magic has its limits. Since the wizards of the past were able to preserve this period of time and space completely, there are likely no living people inside. This is because preserving a mortal with a short lifespan would greatly increase the complexity."
This wasn't Chongbo's response, but rather the answer from Baike, the dream-wandering monk. Apparently, his collected knowledge also included some tantras related to "preservation techniques": "Just like if you want to preserve a piece of meat for several months, you need to freeze it in a refrigerator. This sealed, cold environment allows the food to be preserved for a long time. If you can remove the wind and water elements, which symbolize flow and change, and turn the meat and vegetables into dried meat and vegetables, they can even be easily preserved for several years."
"—But if you want to use this kind of container to preserve a living person, it's completely impossible. The 'preservation power' inside will kill the living person. And if you want to make a container that can preserve a living person, the cost will increase many times.
"Having already caused a miracle of this magnitude... I don't think they have the energy to save all the mages inside. On the other hand, if they can accomplish that, there seems no need for them to preserve this space-time. They could just find a way to survive, right?"
Baike's reasoning was quite rational, and everyone nodded.
His understanding of preservation techniques was not deep enough to comprehend how the ancient wizards preserved this fragmented space-time... but from the perspective of human motivation, he considered that if they could preserve the living as well, then there would be no "necessity" to preserve the complete space-time.
"But there is another possibility."
Zhengsine pushed up his glasses. The old wizard, with white hair and beard, who looked like an old professor, habitually started to argue, "The preservation spell can freeze a person into an ice sculpture or petrify them into a stone statue, allowing them to spend a longer period of time in this state.
"When I was young, I once saw an ancient guard who had been petrified for hundreds of years in a ruin. His time was frozen, and he has survived to this day. Although the long period of petrification has polluted his soul, making him extremely inclined towards the Twilight Path, he is indeed alive in my mage tower."
"Your mage tower?" Rogue caught the key words.
"...My teacher's mage tower."
Sine emphasized, "But I am the Chief Archmage, the first heir to the Mage Tower."
"The heir with a white beard?"
The wanderer sneered, "I've heard that many mage lords have regained their youth. Your teacher is one of them, isn't he? He hasn't lived longer than you, has he?"
"……snort!"
The words of the wanderer seemed to hurt Sine's heart.
He snorted coldly, his face stern, and said seriously, "That's because I don't want to accept the filthy blood of the Son of the Moon! How could such a good thing happen in this world? Without the adaptability of the Path of Love, you can still obtain the longevity and youth of the Son of the Moon. If such a good thing really existed, why would the Narcissus Principality be the one to take it?
"There must be a price to pay, but the price has not yet appeared!"
"I think it's just that you weren't chosen by your teacher."
Rurouni chuckled, "After all, if he could just live forever, there wouldn't be any need to choose an heir, right?"
Zhu Tang also nodded and agreed, "Indeed, if the emperor could live forever, then what would the prince be for? If that were the case and the country had to be passed down, wouldn't there be a bunch of aging emperors giving orders after a few generations?
"As a subject, I certainly hope there is only one monarch. Satisfying one monarch is always easier than satisfying multiple conflicting monarchs. Every change in power means change and chaos... and only those who hope to climb the ladder by any means necessary will look forward to the arrival of chaos."
"——But this situation is indeed possible."
Seeing that everyone was about to start arguing, Aiwass began to advise and gave everyone a photo of a calming blessing, which instantly calmed everyone down. "Everyone, after entering, be careful of all kinds of sculptures, stone statues, and paintings. Don't touch them or touch them randomly. If you encounter anything suspicious, don't investigate it on your own. There may be no living people, but there may be automatic defense devices..."
"--If it's a trap," Koneko said softly, "I can handle it."
She was clearly quite confident.
"Then please open the door."
Aiwass looked at the "survival expert" Wanderer and said softly, "Don't be afraid. If you are injured, I will heal you."
As an adapter and a "survival expert" who emphasizes survival ability, he has some predictive ability of a prophet or astrologer. It is obviously safest to let him explore the way.
And Rogue has obviously adapted to this team positioning long ago.
He nodded and walked ahead without thinking, and the kitten followed.
He studied the door lock briefly, and after confirming that it was not bound to any alarm, mechanism or other spell, he stepped aside and let the kitten open the door lock.
The kitten's hands danced like magic, easily unlocking the door. The electric light that had been flowing above it also went out.
Then she pulled up her hood, and her whole body faded and disappeared like smoke, quietly retreating to the center of the crowd.
The wanderer pushed the door open without thinking and walked in.
“Is anyone there?”
He stood at the door and shouted.
After waiting for a few seconds and realizing that his sense of crisis hadn't been triggered, he turned around and said, "No one heard my call. There must be no one left..."
The wanderer said this and took a few steps forward.
He had taken less than five steps when he suddenly shuddered.
He suddenly stretched out his left hand to block in front of him, and jumped back instantly!
But even so, a sharp arc-shaped red light still appeared out of nowhere and instantly cut off his left arm!
Because it was so fast that he didn't even feel the pain.
However, the terrifying heat still accumulated in his broken arm.
"This is--"
But just as he screamed, the wound that was instantly sealed by the high temperature suddenly began to emit a brilliant light, and the high temperature accumulated inside turned into warm running water and disappeared.
The strange suction force sucked the broken arm flying in the air back directly, blocking the light.
And when the light completely dissipated, his left arm had recovered!
From the attack to the broken arm to recovery, the whole process took not even a second!
If his arm guard hadn't still smelled burnt, he might even have thought it was just an illusion!
"I told you everything."
Aiwass slowly lowered his left hand and said calmly, "Don't panic.
"I will heal you."
