Chapter 666: Huantiansi's Conspiracy
Aiwass could probably guess what the Lord of Scales and Feathers was thinking.
If one were to say that Aiwass's existence itself meant uncertainty...
This also explains why the plans made by his adoptive father James and grandfather Jacob, who had arranged them around him, all failed due to unpredictable variables.
It's not even just them.
From Lloyd's, the Noble Red to the Rosicrucian represented by the Succubus...when these plans that have been implemented for many years develop to the point where they must come into contact with Aiwass, variables will suddenly begin to appear.
Now it seems that if Aiwass can make everything certain no longer certain... then the best way to use him is not to try to control Aiwass.
Instead, use Aiwass to eliminate the "worst" option and cut off this future possibility.
No matter how random things get, at least it won't be the worst possible outcome. No one wants the Fallen Angels to become a Pillar God—no one wants a new Supreme Heaven to appear in this world.
If the original "transcendence" turns into "degeneration", the whole world will probably turn to chaos and darkness.
only……
"That doesn't seem to require me."
Aiwass said sincerely, "Huan Tiansi...He has other plans."
Although saying this made Aiwass feel a little strange—it was almost like he was bragging about himself. However, the Tail Ring was indeed the ritual prepared by Huan Tiansi.
And Aiwass believed that the Lord of Scales and Feathers must know about this.
As expected.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers simply smiled and said, "Are you referring to the 'Tail Ring' ritual? Indeed... He has even prepared the 'Tail Ring Secret Sutra' at Xingbi's place, waiting for them to take the bait."
"He disguised this ritual. Those people would only think that they could steal the power of the Heavenly Master through this ritual, skipping the promotion ceremony and ascending to the sixth energy level. Since this ritual does have this ability, it's not a problem... This is a ritual performed by the Heavenly Master himself, and there's no way they would notice any problems with it.
"And this ritual requires a fifth-level victim as a sacrifice—this perfectly fits the thinking of those demonologists.
"Because in their worldview, powerful rituals always come with a price. If this ritual required no price at all, they would definitely think it was a scam. But because this ritual requires the sacrifice of a participant, it becomes extremely persuasive..."
At this point, the Lord of Scales and Feathers laughed and sneered, "Those people are still scheming against each other.
"Some concealed the true cost of the ritual, while others fabricated alternatives in an attempt to profit. Those who knew the true cost also deceived one another. They formed small groups, claiming they would use someone outside their group as the 'price of the ritual,' but in reality, they intended to use this opportunity to win over others and exclude those who disagreed. However, those who spoke these words had no idea that within the other group, the victim they had chosen was themselves.
"A benefit that would tempt anyone who saw it, and a price that no one could afford, and that only one person had to pay—and the one who paid the price would also shut their mouth forever. Judging the price by the benefit they received, they would believe that the person's soul would be shattered, so that they wouldn't even have the chance to become a demon.
"For the demonic incarnations, nearly all of whom bear the 'Mark of Sin,' being able to prevent those they've thoroughly offended from transforming into demons and seeking revenge is also a very practical benefit."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers praised his former friend: "I have to say that Huan Tiansi's grasp of human hearts is extremely precise.
“Under this format, even those who understand the rituals find it impossible to withdraw.
"Because anyone who participates can ascend to the sixth energy level; and no matter how many people advance, the cost is only one person. From this perspective, every additional person who leaves increases the likelihood of being chosen as the cost.
"So even if they can coax that person back, they won't let anyone leave—in order to deter others from leaving, they might even kill anyone who tries to leave.
"After all, they don't want this ceremony to be disrupted. Anyone who leaves here might become an informer or a traitor to the secret organization. That would mean their hopes are ruined—"
...Is this Huantiansi?
Aiwass' heart was slightly shaken.
Huantiansi did not set any restrictions for them, nor did he tell a single lie.
He merely briefly introduced the underlying mechanism of this ritual... and yet he evoked the greed, evil, and cowardice within these fifth-level transcendents, as well as their uncontrollable instinct for transcendence. Thus, the ritual began to spread spontaneously.
The victims are completely unconscious accomplices, hunting other victims. They are like crabs in a cage, dragging back those who want to leave.
Everyone must work together to complete this ritual, but almost everyone has subtly different standpoints. For example, King Xingtan, who is also a Rosicrucian and an alchemist, certainly does not want to see too many people reach the sixth level as a result.
The red phase and the black phase have another mysterious position.
The other transcendents of the Rosicrucian Order also had their own ideas. The foreigners were absolutely full of selfish thoughts—no one wanted to see the birth of a star with several, or even dozens, of Level 6 Transcendents.
When they were caught up in the intrigue and life-and-death game among multiple forces, no one had the energy to think about whether the ceremony itself was fake.
Even if someone somehow learned of the true plan of the Ring Master and the nature of the Tail Ring ritual, his warning would be useless - because it is entirely possible that this is fabricated evidence to prevent them from participating in the ritual; even if he wanted to escape, it would be impossible because he might inform on the matter and "ruin everyone's ritual."
But, if you think about it this way...
"...Why does it sound familiar?"
Aiwass fell into deep thought.
This planning style...is really similar to Aiwass himself.
He looked at the Lord of Scales and Feathers hesitantly: "Then what do you need me to do?
"I'm responsible for... finishing off Huan Tiansi? Killing the Fallen Angels they pulled down?"
"yes."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers replied.
"But, do I really need this? It's hard to say for sure, but the first Tail Ring Ceremony must have been anticipated by the Ring Master. And his plan couldn't possibly be 'Let Aiwass handle this,' right?"
Aiwass asked back.
This is also a question that Aiwass has been puzzled about for a long time.
The Tail Ring Ceremony itself was a plan—or rather, a conspiracy—by the Ring Celestial Masters. Its occurrence directly led to the spectacular fall of the Celestial Masters.
From a standpoint, Aiwass and Huantiansi are hostile. Although Huantiansi will protect Aiwass now, its ultimate goal is to devour Aiwass.
——But they are obviously enemies, yet Aiwass has to clean up the mess for Huantiansi?
This problem is solved by the players in the game.
But there are no "players" in this world.
Without the players, who can defeat the Fallen Angels?
Could it be that Huan Tiansi just wanted to exile the Tiansi to the material world, but never considered how to kill these Tiansi?
And here is another question -
Aiwass pressed on, "Also, if I kill the Fallen Angel... what good will that ultimately be for you?"
This is what makes Aiwass so strange.
The Fallen Angel is not the Bear Angel. While he's no good either, he's certainly not known to provoke the other angels and pillar gods. If anything, he enjoys stealing high-quality souls and branding them with grave sins. However, his frequency of action is relatively low, similar to how few people in the material world have become demons.
Even if there was hostility towards him, it should be from the Snake Father.
After all, the Fallen Angels almost led an entire path astray, causing the reputation of the Transcendents, who were supposed to represent "positivity", to become extremely bad.
——But what does this have to do with you, the pillar god who adapts to the Tao?
