Chapter 1044: The End of the World in Advance
Although this incident was reflected in the game, it was merely a background event...at most, it briefly appeared as a foreshadowing of the path to "nothingness." Aiwass didn't even realize what "nothingness" meant at the time. He thought it referred to his mental state.
...But if this thing appears in reality, all I can say is "Haha".
The River of Nothingness—Aivaz already knew what this was.
When the total number of the path's sacred number reaches "10," it also means "returning to zero." That is the path of self-destruction that leads everything to "meaninglessness."
The Swan King, rooted in the Path of Beauty, practiced the transcendental ritual of "rebellion," unconsciously conforming to the principles of the Path of Nothingness. While he could ascend to the Dream Realm, becoming a Celestial Master of the Path of Beauty and even beyond, he also fulfilled the true conditions for activating the "Box of Nothingness."
Although Aiwas's memory was not very good, he still remembered that Huan Tiansi once told him that the non-existent tenth source river, the source river of nothingness, which he called the "Whisper of the Void", was the culprit that caused the end of the world.
He used the power of Dusk to preserve the future timeline in "amber" to prevent the entire world from falling into nothingness. The Ennead Gods were helpless against the approaching "Whisper of the Void" and could only return to the past to await the "wisdom of future generations."
The former reincarnation god Ai Shiping probably lost his mind because he saw that his save file reload times were almost used up.
It's not that Aiwass can't understand the sins committed by his "past self".
When he was playing a single-player RPG, being forced to restart the game after a deadlock would completely ruin his mentality. If he had to restart the game eight times and still had no clue and no hope, he would probably give up.
Huan Tiansi intends to escape during this reincarnation—hoping to take the power of several source rivers with him. This might be a plan to "wander the source rivers." If he can truly take all of these source rivers with him, he might be able to "plant" them in a new world, allowing them to become the power system of another world. If he can take all nine source rivers, he might even be able to recreate "another old world" in another world.
The only problem is...
This is like going back in time to try to save the world by creating a mirror copy. It is still useless for a world that has already been destroyed.
It's just self-deception.
——And Aiwass thinks that is selfish.
No one knows himself better than Aiwass. If one were to think from Aiwass's perspective, if Huan Tiansi's mentality collapsed, he would probably be thinking about "stopping his losses"—stopping his own losses.
After all, in the first game, he dedicated all his strength to create "Amber," the strongest pillar god. The purpose of all this was to save the world... If this goal proved unattainable, he would naturally want to take back the power he once gave to the world to "cut his losses."
But Huan Tiansi probably forgot about the small copy of the Box of Nothingness.
Perhaps it was because there had never been any problems in the past reincarnations, or perhaps it was because "Evans" had resolved this incident in every past reincarnation... In short, if the incident of the Empty Box was not properly resolved, I'm afraid the end of the world would be brought forward.
Although according to the original timeline, the "opening" of the Empty Box will be at least next year, and the Swan King should be able to hold on for another year...but the experience of countless events in the past has told Aiwass not to be too superstitious about the absoluteness of the "original plot."
The butterfly effect exists; any changes that occur could trigger a chain reaction, causing the plot to deviate from its original course. Not to mention, the variables he's created have already made it impossible for Professor James and Huan Tiansi to accurately predict the future.
—Evans didn’t dare bet that the Empty Box could last until next year.
As long as the Swan King can't hold on and becomes nothingness early, everyone will be finished together - after all, the number of rollbacks has been used up, and this world no longer has the Reincarnation Master.
…But this is the most extreme case.
The good news is that Aiwass knew about the incident in advance before it got any worse.
Now, Iris’s “Forty-four Days of Nightmare” incident did not happen—this meant that the Count of the Moon was still being secretive when using the Box of Nothingness, and did not dare to collect too much mana at once.
Therefore, the Swan King was most likely still asleep. His power had been used to modify reality a few times, but he had not yet clearly realized his situation.
——Once the Swan King realizes his situation, he will confront the Count of the Moon. And then the Count will realize that the Swan King really can't do anything to him now——Then he will become bolder and start to absorb magic power unscrupulously and modify reality on a large scale.
Now that the Tail Ring Ceremony has just begun, he is still in awe of this "unfinished Celestial Master".
——But, it can’t be delayed any longer.
Aiwass was clearly aware of the urgency of the problem.
The Moon Child now intends to rebel, which will require the large-scale use of the Swan King, the "reality modifier." The Moon Child Count may realize at any time that the Swan King is not as dangerous and clear-headed as he thought.
Putting the red reset button in the hands of someone who has no idea of the severity of the problem... is like putting a nuclear bomb launch button in the hands of a child.
Fortunately, Bing Xin is still reliable enough.
Although he didn't know the secret of the "Void Pillar God", he realized that allowing the other party to rewrite reality would definitely be troublesome.
The "scriptwriter" type of transcendent on the Path of Beauty relies on intelligence and information gaps. The Swan King is currently stuck before his ascension... Though he was only at the fourth level in his lifetime, he could now potentially exert power above the sixth level. Even if the Count of the Moon Child can't directly control the future, and can only indirectly alter reality through sleeping potions and suggestive hypnosis, he's still a sufficiently dangerous foe.
High-powered transcendents can secretly twist the fate of others, potentially even unaware of their influence. If they are allowed to gather intelligence, the enemy will become increasingly difficult to deal with. Conversely, unexpected and illogical actions can throw the enemy off balance.
So Bing Xin was extremely decisive.
Perhaps because his cold was cured by Aiwass, he has become unusually decisive.
"Let's go."
The old man stood up from the sofa and said without hesitation: "Leave immediately."
"...Wait, do you know where the Count of the Moon is?"
Yassen was so surprised that he was speechless.
Let’s not talk about how Aiwass deduced the identity of “Earl of the Moon’s Son” - but with just the information of “Earl of the Moon’s Son”, could Bing Xingong directly locate the person?
——There are many Moon Children who hold the title of Earl of Iris!
Just the ones that Yasen could roughly think of now, there were more than three.
"Without a doubt, it can only be the Harlick family."
Bing Xin Gong said this with extraordinary determination and confidence.
There is no reason, but it cannot be argued.
