This is the first time that Aiwass clearly knows the previous name of the Dusk Road and the source river to which that road belongs.
Until now, Aiwass only knew that the five Pillar Gods were born in the "Cicada Slough" incident - the pillar gods of Adaptation, Dusk, Wisdom, Strength, and the Path of the Beast were all born from the Cicada Slough. As for those paths
Aiwass didn't know whether there had been a master before or what his name was.
"……mistake."
Aiwass murmured.
The source river of the path of "adaptation" is "survival", and the source river of the path of transcendence and transformation is called "easiness". Both of these are easy to understand.
But why do "Twilight" and "Taboo" belong to the river of "errors"? Do they have any inevitable connection with errors?
In an instant, Aiwass suddenly thought of Huantian Si's words when he showed his sage:
[——When the world changes and reincarnates, things will never change]
[——The righteous will remain righteous, and the filthy will remain filthy. The king will always be the king, and the slave will always be the slave]
[——No one rises, no one descends, everything never changes. The universe has solidified, like an amber egg; the world reincarnates forever, just like the ring with the end]
At that time, Aiwass didn't understand what Huan Tiansi meant, but now... after receiving the information from Professor Moriarty, Aiwass seemed to have grasped some of the keys.
Eternal reincarnation...?
"……I have a question."
Aiwass was silent for a moment, and then asked: "The world line you are in...does the 'Twilight Path' and 'Amber' also exist?"
"have."
Professor Moriarty said with great certainty: "But I'm not sure whether He has always existed.
"I think, if the world keeps reincarnating, going back and forth...then is the 'first return of the world' related to the birth of amber?"
Professor Moriarty's thinking is clear: "He is a flawless god, a god who has reached the pinnacle; he became the strongest at the beginning of his birth. Does that mean... is there a possibility that he is not the first one?
Was he born at the end of the century, but was he born in the year 2000...and returned to the past, tearing apart the future?"
"Then if 'dusk' belongs to amber, then who does 'taboo' belong to?"
Aiwass asked rhetorically.
The gem bird shook its head: "I don't know. Although I witnessed the birth of Amber and the easier path, I did not see the existence of the old pillar gods. As for the arrival of the other pillar gods, I basically did not know.
I didn’t see... the beast master who was born after the amber, only the path of the beast.
"I can also tell you that the name of the source river is 'Creation'. I think that the fairies, witches, werewolves, and children of the moon on the path of love should all be born this way. As long as you want to know this information
Dad can tell you everything. It doesn’t matter."
"...because knowledge is poisonous, right?"
Aiwass said slowly.
Sapphire Bird smiled and nodded.
——This is a conspiracy.
Aiwass knows that he is undoubtedly a key pawn in many great existential games. If he wants to seek freedom and transcendence, he must pursue the truth. But the more information he knows, the more complete the truth he can piece together, so he has to worry about it.
, the more you have to think about.
He didn't understand Huan Tiansi's plan before.
But now, he seems to have gradually understood something...
Huan Tiansi believes that "reincarnation" is meaningless, perhaps because the entire world has curled up into a ring. However, the "transformation" he pursues is still within the history of Professor Moriarty.
This at least shows one thing - that is, Huantiansi failed, and the world still returned to eternal disaster. At least in the world line where he did not succeed in swallowing Aiwass, he undoubtedly failed.
He also understood why the Nine Pillar God started the promotion ceremony to deduce the past and future.
He even partially understood Professor Moriarty's motives——
It is precisely because he is a "savior" who has witnessed the end of the world with his own eyes that he firmly pursues "premature death".
From this point of view, it is at least certain that the old Moriarty did not come back to life from the First Age. He should be like a "traveler", directly appearing in the boy Moriarty.
When Moriarty was still studying under Cardinal Loki, his personality was obviously normal and not paranoid.
It wasn't until Moriarty came into contact with Anna Kingsford, the founder of the Golden Dawn and Freya's mother, that his temperament began to change drastically.
At that time, Aiwass felt that it was impossible for his adoptive father to be trapped in love... This was really unreasonable.
But now, Aiwass has finally sorted out his thoughts.
Both Jacob and James once belonged to the Golden Dawn. The original founder of the Golden Dawn was Anna Kingsford from Rosicrucian. In other words, James's techniques and rituals were most likely taught by James' wife.
And both Rosicrucian and Golden Dawn know about the existence of "divine entities".
Suppose that the sacred entity was originally a fragment of Huan Tiansi... or to be more precise, it was a fragment of Samsara Tiansi.
So why not call it "Tiansi Fragment", or some other term related to "reincarnation"?
——Holy entity.
The divine being summoned by Jacob does not seem to be some kind of entity. Whether it is the version that was originally summoned and imparted mysterious knowledge to Jacob, or the version that merged with Aiwass's soul.
…But what if this is actually a well-known “reference”?
Is it possible that the original "holy entity" was the remnant soul that was fused with Moriarty?
Perhaps after Moriarty met Ms. Kingsford, they did something together. This caused the soul of the "savior" who returned to ancient times to descend on Moriarty. This led to a drastic change in Moriarty's personality.
, practicing Cardinal Loki's teachings of "premature death" almost like a maniac.
It's like being transported through time...
--wait wait wait?
Aiwass was suddenly startled.
At that moment, there was a shock behind him. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Moriarty in disbelief.
Could it be that the reason why my adoptive father suddenly left Avalon was because of this incident?
He left Aiwass and wanted to independently observe how much the "suddenly enlightened Aiwass" knew and what he could do!
He wanted to judge from this which era Aiwass's knowledge belonged to!
"You should be able to understand now why I want to get the power of 'reincarnation'."
Professor Moriarty said slowly: "In order to change the destined ending, in order to find out the truth about the 'taboo', I must go back to the past - even if I sacrifice the present and the future for this, it doesn't matter.
"All things will eventually perish. As long as the fundamental problem is not solved, all prosperity and hope will be false.
"Even if it is related to the secrets of many Pillar Gods, I must do it and I must achieve it.
"If the world cycles again in 2000... the world that I have changed will also be disrupted in the future. Perhaps the 'variable' who is lucky enough to survive until the birth of dusk will not be born.
"Ignorance may also be a kind of happiness. Knowledge is poisonous...the deepest poison is the poison of 'meaninglessness'."
Bird smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes: "If the world must be restarted... then everything now is destined to disappear.
"Whether it's early death, late death, suicide, assassination, death from illness, end of life... all of this has no meaning. The world will be reborn in the next reincarnation, or even the next. There will always be reincarnation, and the world will not encounter
The Day of Destruction... We must first obtain information about the past before we can have a chance to change the future.
"Didn't you ask me? To what extent does it need to be modified to be considered perfect? I don't want perfection - what I long for is just 'continuation', just 'survival'. That's even related to my individual life and death.
It has nothing to do with it, but something that James could not see in the first place, the death of the world a hundred years later."
"...So that's what you think."
Aiwass murmured softly.
If the theory of premature death is extended infinitely... what if the entire world is about to perish?
That means that "premature death" can also be applied to the entire world.
