Chapter 948 The Birth of Wu Tiansi
Dreamy, drunken...
"...A water-attributed Tianshi?"
Aiwass muttered to himself, frowning slightly: "Promotion at this juncture..."
Just in case, he closed his eyes and prepared to enter a state of prayer, asking the nine pillars of gods in turn which path had produced the new celestial being.
But before he could enter the state of prayer, the voice of the Lord of Scales and Feathers rang in his ears: "No need to ask them, I will tell you directly."
——Boss, are you here?
Ever since Aiwass returned to Avalon, the Lord of Scales and Feathers hadn't made any noise. Aiwass had thought he'd found some new fun...
"Well, I was a bit busy before. I was doing a small job..."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said this and chuckled, "You'll know after a while."
"...What have you done?"
"Oh, it's a good thing anyway—this Tiansi is also an acquaintance of yours. He once held you in his arms."
...Hold me?
It can't be Jacob, right?
Hearing this summary, Aiwass was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Sister Sasha?"
Aiwass wasn't too surprised... That feeling of intoxication was clearly related to the host. Add to that the strange phenomenon's connection to the moon, and it was likely the path of love.
"That's right."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers replied cheerfully, "You didn't expect that, did you? A year ago, he was just an 'Apostle of the Apostles', with no honorific title at all, and now he's become a Celestial Master."
"...Is it because of the boiling of the power of transcendence?"
Aiwass reacted immediately.
As the day for the Snake Father to break through the Amber Wall draws closer, the transcendental power of the material world becomes more and more active.
It is said that the difficulty of the promotion ceremony has begun to decrease recently, and the improvement of extraordinary powers has also begun to accelerate.
In other worlds, it might be a change of eras such as "ether explosion" or "magic tide"... However, in this world, all of this is nothing more than the energy dissipated when the Snake Father performs the "ultimate transcendence".
"yes."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers affirmed, "This is only the beginning. In the three months from now, the number of Celestial Officials and Apostles born will probably be more than the total number of the past several thousand years combined.
"The next three months are the three months most likely to change your destiny... The prerequisite is to hold on and not be dragged down by the ring of fate."
"...Did you already know about the Ouroboros? Did you also know that the Ouroboros ritual would spread?"
"certainly."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers was not surprised: "Without the support and acquiescence of the Pillar Gods, that guy would not be able to cause such a large-scale incident.
"The original definition of a Celestial Master was simply a 'candidate Pillar God.' However, as the number of Celestial Masters grew, they became gods independent of the Pillar God's path. If too many new Celestial Masters emerged, the Dream Realm would sooner or later erupt into a Celestial Master War... Celestial Masters on the same path could devour each other's power, destabilizing even the Pillar God's position... much like what happened to the Crown Celestial Master in the past.
"Generally speaking, it's the Pillar Gods who strictly control the number of Celestial Officials on the same path—through suppression and killing. But not all Pillar Gods have that ability... Amber, for example.
"Winter's ascension isn't a good thing for Amber. If the Amber Celestial devours Winter and then Rock Celestial, he'll threaten Amber's position. From this perspective, using the Tail Ring to release the Celestials into the material world will prevent them from being devoured by other Celestials in the Dream World."
Seeing that the Tail Ring Ceremony had concluded, the Lord of Scales and Feathers finally stopped riddling riddles and simply revealed the truth: "From this perspective, the turmoil in the material world is precisely for the sake of greater peace. You also understand and have witnessed several major events of the Pillar God's succession... Compared to the Pillar God's succession, the arrival of the Celestial Master is the best option."
"It is precisely because there was no opposition from the Pillar Gods, and some Pillar Gods were even willing to support him, that a 'Heavenly Official Hunting Ritual' of this scale could be successfully carried out."
"……I see."
Hearing this, Aiwass understood: "So, Huan Tiansi actually gave an answer... that made everyone relatively satisfied?"
No one will fully support him because everyone's interests will be harmed; but from another perspective, it is not the "worst choice" after all.
——An act of compromise.
This is similar to but different from Aiwass's style.
Aiwass tends to make everyone happy, which is why he has so many friends around him.
Huantiansi, on the other hand, took a few steps back, adopting the principle of "at least ensuring that most people wouldn't explicitly object." Despite facing criticism, they continued to accomplish what needed to be done. Although they laid off a large number of "people," they ultimately managed to save the "company." Compared to Aiwass's idealism, they became more realistic, yet also lacked much of the sharpness and passion.
Now think back...
The angels he selected to descend to the world were all troublemakers or rogues.
Fallen Angels are self-evident; Shadow Angels is the Angel of Revenge, but she's practically never done any work, spending her days at home throwing music parties; Blood Angels is far too boisterous, clearly trying to circumvent the Wall of Balance and meddling in the affairs of the material world; Amber Angels clearly harbor ill intentions towards Amber and are still stealing souls; Abyss Angels is also a "remnant of the previous dynasty"; Gray Angels is a con man who deceives everyone and everyone dislikes her; Butterfly Angels, obsessed with looks, is narcissistic and arrogant, and doesn't have many friends...
Except for Zhu Tiansi who came down on his own initiative, the other Tiansi who were pulled down obviously did not have good relationships with others.
No Tiansi has a friend who is willing to avenge Huan Tiansi for his death!
While these Celestials were summoned by the physical world... the Fallen Angels' arrival was clearly manipulated by the Ring Celestials. The Ring Celestials "expelled" those Celestials who had no other Celestials willing to speak for them—and precisely because of this, he was able to safely preside over the ritual of slaughtering the other Celestials in the Dream Realm as a Celestial.
How should I put it...
...Compared to the youthful Aiwass, Huan Tiansi obviously has more class flavor and is much more ruthless.
Sometimes Aiwass felt that... compared to himself, Huan Tiansi was more like the real HR.
But now, the changes made by Aiwass have begun to cause more and more obvious changes in the world -
It was precisely because Aleister was branded with a mortal sin by the Fallen Angels that she took the ritual of the White Dove Opera House seriously, allowing her to find Count Dawn and kill him, and obtain the sealed, unconsumed liver in time... It was also because of this that the Banquet Master had the opportunity to complete himself and sublimate into the Banquet Angels.
It is precisely because of the master's sublimation that Sister Sasha can become a true celestial apostle and thus be qualified to be sublimated to the celestial minister.
No wonder no new Tianshi was born at this time in the previous world line!
——It can be said that this Tiansi was hatched by Aiwass himself!
"What is her honorific name?"
Aiwass asked curiously.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers replied, "The Path of Love, Mist Sky Master. She also has the ability to practice the Path of Devotion. The Banquet Master has already given her a heads-up to Old Deer."
"...Mist Secretary? Why is it mist?"
However, the honorific name chosen by Sister Sasha left Aiwass a little confused.
Mirror images? Or is it because fog is hazy? What does this have to do with the host?
"Regarding this... I did see some fragments of the future. When she was promoted, the future changed slightly... I sensed this scene and came to talk to you."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said quite complacently, "Want to hear it?"
"think!"
Aiwass immediately called out, giving it enough emotional value: "Tell me, tell me!"
"The fog is the veil of the moon, the blinding wind. This celestial official was promoted... to compete with the Blood Celestial Official for business."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers' voice echoed within Aiwass's heart: "She can transform the Moon Child into a 'Mist Demon.' Specifically, the Moon Child can no longer transform into a bat, but into white mist. At the same time, it will lose its thirst and obsession for blood, and transform into a new form akin to a soul... no longer a Moon Child, but a 'monster.'"
"...Heng, can I agree to this?"
Aiwass was surprised: "Isn't the Son of the Moon the experimental life form that Hengwo used to verify the method of perfecting humans?"
If all the children of the moon are transformed, how can the perfect man be born?
If the Children of the Moon cannot be transformed into perfect humans in large numbers... doesn't that mean that the battle for the path of "love prevails over beasts" has been lost?
"Indeed. But your understanding of the Pillar God is not deep enough, Aiwass."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers spoke meaningfully, "Most Pillar Gods lack 'humanity.' Hengwo, though, seeks to overcome the Beast Master's oppression by proving himself a 'perfect being,' even if she fails... she won't be as obsessed and mad as a mortal. For her, nothing matters. Only 'love' remains in her heart. Through love for herself, she loves the Beast Master, and ultimately the world."
"Just as Amber wouldn't want to kill Lingbo to protect herself, Hengwo is also a void god who 'owns nothing but myself.' The beast masters of the past were controlled by Hengwo for this very reason—how could a mortal being with distracting thoughts and rationality be controlled so easily? Similarly, to Hengwo, none of this matters. Even if the 'love' she represents is overwhelmed, destroyed, and devoured by the 'beast,' it doesn't matter... If she cared about these things, she wouldn't be Hengwo.
"Only the Celestial Masters possess distinct human nature, like all other creatures, while the Pillar Gods... are merely prisoners of the world. They are all leaders of the Dao... but I believe they are more like 'spokespersons of the Dao.' Far from mentioning... the former Crown Celestial Master and the current Crown Master are two completely different people."
"...Then, what about you?"
Aiwass hesitated.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers chuckled: "I am a special case - a unique special case."
