Chapter 1311: In the Age of Fire, Water Should Be Used to Extinguish It
What Aiwass had to do was very simple.
That is to relieve the pressure on the sinners and gain the authority of Yuan Tiansi from it.
And decompressing the information in the sin state...ignoring the scale, isn't this what Si Zhu did in the past?
——This is a great achievement like "re-creation of the world".
Aiwass flew into the air, muttering softly, the dark golden light in his pupils gleaming brightly: "Flames can burn away the sinthorns, causing sealed information to evaporate... Thus, the era of our ancestors ended with flames, and our era begins with flames."
Behind him, pure white wings gradually spread out, making him look like a god.
It is for this reason that the candle, which symbolizes the first fire, can relieve the pressure of sin; and the taboo, which symbolizes the sea, has the power to destroy the world and transform all things into sin.
But it wasn't total destruction.
But "remember"
"Today, I finally understand... why Sizhu emphasized the need to preserve the sinthorn buried beneath the desert of rest."
Aiwass raised his head and said slowly, "Because of worry."
Lily was stunned when she heard this.
Because in Lily's opinion, what Aiwass said was very strange.
It didn't sound like he was talking to Lily, but more like he was talking to himself... or perhaps, he was talking to someone who was looking at him but whom he couldn't see.
"When Sizhu first made this decision, the world had just begun. The material world had just been created, and there wasn't much life on earth. It's perfectly natural for him to be concerned about the return of the Dusk Seed, looking at the desolate world...
"What if the Twilight Race returns? What if they release all the fires of the old era, and before they can develop enough to preserve themselves and take refuge, if Twilight strikes again... wouldn't that mean that the dormant former civilization has been completely destroyed by itself?
"That's why Sizhu doesn't agree to release all the sins. If the world were to be destroyed again...whether it was due to man-made disasters or natural disasters, then after everything turned to nothingness, at least that tiny spark of fire would still exist in this world.
"After a long, long time... perhaps a new 'Candle Master' will come to this world again, bringing new fire and light."
"After that, the fires of civilization gradually ignited from the earth, and one race after another arose. Society reached its peak, then was suddenly destroyed; the world fell into an eternal cycle of reincarnation, and the long night arrived...
"—Now, the long night is about to end."
As he spoke, sin thorns slowly grew on Aiwass's body.
Pitch-black sinthorns sprouted from his body—he gradually solidified into the thorn giant he had become. Aiwass's increasingly low, muffled voice emanated from within the engulfing sinthorns: "The so-called 'taboos' are those ancient technologies tainted by the Void. This, of course, includes the mysterious art of transforming humans into sinthorns."
Although the Sin Beast can control and devour Sin Thorns... it cannot "create Sin Thorns".
When Aiwas transformed his adoptive father's sin into sin thorns and absorbed them as part of his own power, he subconsciously thought that this was one of the abilities of the sin beast.
But now looking back carefully...
——In the attribute panel of the Sin Beast, there is no item called “Creating Sin Thorns”!
On the contrary, the Enlighteners...their souls will transform themselves into Sinthorns, and they can also grow white flowers and bear Sinthorn fruits.
The profession of the Illuminator comes from the ancient elven tradition—a tradition now lost. The ancient elven knowledge was inherited from the Second Tower of Babel, where the Geometry Celestial Master resides. This is the ancient mechanism where Winged Mages studied the technology of their ancestors!
Why did the legacy of the Enlighteners become extinct?
Why did the second generation Winged King finally get the fragment of the Celestial Master of “Sin and Punishment”?
What did the snake use to bewitch Lucifer onto the path of transcendence?
There is only one answer -
"If you combine the unforgivable sin with the principle of creation... this is a taboo."
Sinthorn can ignore the power of other paths and disintegrate the power of all paths; the power of Sinthorn can transform others into Sinthorn, no matter what their energy level; Sinthorn stores a certain information that can be preserved for an extremely long time...
——And doesn’t this era also have this kind of power?
That is the signature ability of the Forbidden Path, Star Ice!
"The era of sin-eating should end now!"
Aiwass said, raising his left hand high: "If the Age of Fire is to be destroyed, it must be extinguished with water—"
A bit of pure white flame emerged, and then the sin thorns spreading from his body began to burn.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant burning with fire.
As Aiwas burned, an endless stream of power was unleashed from the burning Sinthorn. The surging mana condensed in the void—the smoke did not evaporate, but instead turned into a pitch-black cloud that enveloped the flame giant.
——That was the power of the abyss that was previously transformed into a sinthorn by Aiwass, and thus served as the skeleton for Aiwass's resurrection!
The fragment of Tiansi that originally belonged to Yuan Tiansi and disappeared inexplicably now exists in Aiwas' body in this way!
As Aiwass burned, he clearly felt his divinity gradually weakening. His ruthless and indifferent pupils gradually regained some humanity and a bit of vitality.
Or rather... Aiwass released a part of his divinity that did not belong to him.
"...Why are you doing this?"
A faint sigh rang out beside Aiwass's ears: "Wouldn't it be better to use this power to fight against nothingness?"
It was a voice almost identical to Aiwass's.
This is exactly the remaining consciousness of Dayuan - not his soul, but the memory of the brief conversation he had with Aiwass when Dayuan died!
This is the parting gift that Dayuan gave to Aiwas!
Dayuan hid his own fragment of the Celestial Master within Aiwass, preparing a life-saving backup plan for Aiwass. It was like handing over his most precious possession to his successor when he retired.
Aiwass just smiled and said, "Keeping it as a hidden backup energy source...is unlucky."
As he spoke, a white shellfish like a pearl oyster slowly condensed from Aiwas's raised left hand.
[Tiansi Fragments - Fragments of the Abyss and Taboo]
[——The laws of the abyss and taboos, the remnants of the power of the Abyss Celestial Master. Used appropriately, one has the opportunity to become either the Abyss Celestial Master or the Taboo Celestial Master.]
"So, you want to use them to save these fools?"
The remaining consciousness of Dayuan was half compassion, half disgust: "I left you the authority of the Heavenly Official... to save your life.
"With its power, if you fail... at least this world will be completely frozen into star ice..."
It has no complete thinking ability, only instinctive reactions.
And Aiwas, who shared some memories with Dayuan, certainly knew why Dayuan hated the Parthians so much.
——Because the long-term sacrifices of the Good Lord are, in a sense, actually a sealing ceremony.
The essence of the Abyss is also a part of Ai Shiping. How could He possibly desire a blood sacrifice?
The art of sacrifice stems from the taboos inherited by the Abyss. It is the very reason for the Abyss's birth, and the source of its bestiality and demonic nature. Its constant sacrifices mean its existence is constantly acknowledged, and thus, it will never be possible for true humanity to emerge...
It's like blood food to feed a huge evil beast.
It seems to be taming it, but it is also cultivating its wildness.
They could have offered sacrifices in pure ways—for example, voluntary sacrifices—but they didn't use these "pure offerings" because their loyalty to the Abyss was mingled with malice.
They did not want a real, sober God to exist above their heads, just as they did not want a Parthian king to exist above their heads.
To Yuan Tiansi, these good masters were like traitors who kept feeding him drugs, and the common people who knew nothing but kept worshipping him and hating him were the fools who were bewitched by these people.
The essence of their actions is to continuously delay the time of Yuan Tiansi's resurrection.
Not only is the Good Lord imprisoned by the Abyss in this fate passed down from generation to generation - the Abyss is also imprisoned by the Good Lord and his people in a chaos of half-sleep and half-wakefulness!
Perhaps it is because of this that, in the original world line... Yuan Tiansi angrily destroyed the entire Anxi.
Aiwas did not respond to Yuan Tiansi's words.
He just smiled silently, letting the countless burning sin thorns pry open the clam shell like tentacles and penetrate into it.
