Chapter 897 The Sun is the Wound of the Sky
"You should be completely healthy now. I've also cured your high blood pressure, high blood lipids, gout, myopia, cervical spondylosis, and arthritis."
The half-human, half-deer god checked Sine's condition again and said with concern, "I also adjusted your abdominal fat and visceral fat to a healthy state... Your center of gravity may need to be readjusted.
"The extraordinary power of the Path of Wisdom has little benefit to the body, so remember to protect yourself. Although you are a fourth-level extraordinary being, it doesn't mean you won't get sick. After all, you are a mage, not a priest..."
The deer man shook his head. "But as for the robe and staff... and your glasses, there's nothing I can do."
"Uh, I have spare glasses... do you want to use them?"
Professor Budd was holding the glasses case in the back and whispered.
But no one paid any attention to him at this time.
It's not that I'm impolite, but my brain has stopped working.
Everyone was amazed by the miracle happening before their eyes, and uttered indescribable praise and exclamations—
This happened right before people's eyes, a miracle of resurrection from the dead!
It wasn't a suspended death where the body "lost its breath and heartbeat and then recovered", but rather the upper half of its body, including the brain and heart, was completely reduced to ashes, and then it was forcibly grown back!
This is something only God can do... No, not even God can do it!
There are so many people dying in the world, how many of them can be saved by praying to God?
One? Two?
The answer is, none!
Even monarchs of various countries had no precedent for resurrection after accidental death. It was common knowledge that the dead could not be resurrected, and those who clamored for resurrection would be ridiculed by the extraordinary as superstitious.
Even though the "Pope" and Chongbo had said before that they could be resurrected, what everyone actually thought was just a soul operation.
For example, using a gemstone or something that stores souls... to absorb the soul from the body. Then, transform the body into a machine or undead, and use the gemstone to drive it.
A cold, intelligent undead, this is the most reasonable, most likely and best way of "resurrection" they can imagine.
"Oh my goodness..."
Zhu Tang blurted out, then realized where he was and repeated it in Xingtan language: "Snake Father... No, is he really resurrected like this?"
"Zhu Tang."
Aiwass's sanctified voice echoed repeatedly.
"Hey, I'm not..."
That familiar sense of majesty made Zhu Tang respond subconsciously.
But then he realized that the antlers didn't come from his own emperor, but from an outside god. He himself was no longer a noble, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "I'm here."
"You should be very familiar with runes and totems. Help me figure out what this means."
He finally walked over, opened his eyes carefully, and looked at the runes on Aiwas' chest and abdomen.
"This is……"
He asked uncertainly, "Can I... reach out and touch it?"
"Of course, please check it for me."
The second half of Aiwass's sentence was replaced with Taichu language: "Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Zhu. I don't know much about this."
Dissecting totems is very troublesome, even more complicated than heraldry. It requires a lot of professional knowledge, otherwise it is easy to mistake some special meanings such as deformations such as flipping and emphasizing for decorative patterns, or mistake one totem for another.
Elves are not good at rituals, so even Aiwass did not learn much about rituals in the Theocracy.
Even the cardinal, who is the most skilled in rituals among the elves, learned it when he was studying in the Taichu Empire.
Zhu Tang was an official who was exiled three times, so he must have received an orthodox education. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a normal person to be exiled three times. Most people would have been sentenced to death or imprisoned when they were exiled for the second time.
This must be because he has some unique skills. I can't bear to kill him, but I'm also very angry. So I repeatedly exiled him to serve as an official in other places, summoned him back after a few years to ask if he obeyed, and then threw him even further away when he angered me again... But even so, I still couldn't bear to kill him.
Zhu Tang does have some real knowledge.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to reveal his mythical form, Aiwass planned to ask.
And Zhu Tang did not disappoint Aiwass.
He touched the wound lightly and gave a very clear answer: "This is the totem of the solar lineage, my lord."
"Tell me more."
Aiwass didn't understand what the solar spectrum was, so he could only calmly ask him to explain in detail.
"The totem at the top is the sun, the midday sun. It represents a fresh wound that bleeds slightly when touched, and the color used is black. Black is the color of embers, and also the color of water. Therefore, the water here is the 'bleeding place'... Taken together, it means 'the sun is the wound of the sky,' comparing itself to the sky, and the wound it suffers is the sun.
"And here... the rune below represents thorns, vines, and weeds. These are the inedible parts of the land besides food. And underneath this isn't a wound, but a hard scar. Scars represent old wounds, and the black arc here represents rivers—the thorns and weeds that grow where there are rivers.
"When I think of weeds under the scorching sun, I'm thinking of some kind of wasteland. Because the sun was too strong, the land dried up and cracked. People left... and then water came, and the land became healthy again. No one cultivated the land, so weeds and thorns grew in it. That's the 'evil growing from old wounds.' From what I've heard, some people who have been betrayed like to use this totem to solidify their hatred and determination."
Zhu Tang analyzed carefully, "But look at these two sides—around the kidney area—there's a subtle change. See? The totem here is no longer weeds, but wheat. In other words, some of the weeds have become wheat, or perhaps some of the wheat hasn't turned into weeds. Both interpretations are possible, but the meanings are opposite."
"The former means, 'The betrayed have gained new life, their own strength, and everything is now fine.' The latter means, 'Even in the scorching sun, unattended wheat fields, they still persevere. This is about sticking to one's own path in the face of despair, even if despair could destroy them at any moment...'"
"...Sounds like a tarot reading."
Aiwass, in his Sinmon form, grumbled, "There are explanations for both the pros and cons."
"almost."
Zhu Tang nodded. "For this very reason, it's best not to carve totems on your body. Without a professional understanding, it's impossible to analyze what these totems represent or what power they bring..."
"What if I say these thorns are actually 'thorns of sin'?"
Aiwass asked back, while urging the sin thorns in his body to expand out of the wound.
Seeing this scary thing, Zhu Tang subconsciously took two steps back.
He wiped his hand on his clothes, then looked down carefully. After confirming there were no cuts on his fingers, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Then the meaning is much clearer... It roughly means 'The sun is the wound of the sky, and all the light in the sky is the blood of the sky', and 'The thorn of sin is an old scar on the earth, it is the brother of all living beings.'"
“…The scars of the earth.”
Aiwass murmured softly, as if thinking about something: "Zhusheng's brother..."
Suddenly, Aiwass thought of where he was.
"Tower of Babel..."
These winged beings can fly. What kind of sky are they flying in?
Nibiru, the sky-eating beast, if this name is not an exaggeration...which sky does it eat?
The second sun once burst into countless stars, plunging the world into eternal darkness. Until the third sun was born from the three-legged golden crow... But if the sun is the wound in the sky, how can a wound "burst"?
“If you’re interested,” Cardinal Galatea suddenly said softly, “then go a little further up.
"It's almost there... Wait until you reach the ninth floor, and you'll be able to see that thing."
Two consecutive updates, the update is complete!
