The discussion between the Snake Father and the Scale Feather Lord did not avoid outsiders.
Judging from the reactions of the cardinals, it was obvious that they had already known about this future. Perhaps it was because of Loki's prophecy, or perhaps because the Pillar God who had contracted with them had already mentioned this matter.
It is also possible that no one or God has told them - after all, that is a future that can be deduced based on logic alone.
Not all roads have an end, and there are also roads that lead to eternity. But transcendence is not among them.
——The Snake Father will eventually come to an end. And His appointed day is approaching.
This is a path with an ending that has been decided from the very beginning.
Those who transcend will never retreat or stop - and for this reason, those who transcend will never have peace.
But this kind of infinite progress day after day is a kind of happiness for those who transcend. No matter where you go, you will see a new goal when you look up.
——However, "transcendence" must have a goal in order to be established.
Therefore, if we set our sights on the infinite future, those who transcend will eventually face an inevitable fate.
That is, one day they will become the "strongest" from the "transcendents".
And when they become incomparable, it means they betray the way. Just like rebels become monarchs, they are no longer the rebels they were before...
It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it. This is probably the direction of this story.
"[The Pillar of this World shall never betray this path]," the Lord of Scale Feather used Aiwass's body to look at the Snake Father, with deep green pupils and a low voice, "This is when I became the Pillar God.
What you said to me.
"Today, I am still the God of Adaptation. And you..."
"——I will never retreat."
The Snake Father interrupted the Lord of Scales and Feathers and said clearly.
"The Pillar Gods of this world are all slaves of the old self..."
Hengga suddenly spoke and said these words.
In an instant, the room fell into a brief silence.
"Aiwas" looked at Hengwo and nodded slightly.
Then he looked at "Cardinal Cyril" again, broke the silence, and asked directly: "When is the appointed date?"
"August 1st is confirmed."
The snake father said without hesitation: "On that day, I will complete the final transcendence - crossing the wall of dusk.
"No matter whether I survive or not, and no matter what is on the other side of that wall...I will not continue to exist as a pillar god. No matter whether I will die, leave, be reborn, or ascend to the top...I
They will all leave from the river of change.
"The world will face the 'eight days without transcendence'. On August 8, the new Pillar God will arrive."
...August 1st.
The quiet Aiwass heard about this day.
He suddenly reacted.
In another world line, Huan Tiansi's arrival happens to be August 3rd!
If the death of Snake Father was brought forward, then according to this time...perhaps it was not Huan Tiansi who came to power through the act of "father-killing", but Snake Father reaching the end of his road.
When there is no pillar god in the Gengyi River, Huan Tiansi will come to dominate it.
If nothing else happens...that will probably be the day of the showdown between Aiwass and Huantiansi.
...Is there less than half a year left?
Such thoughts floated in Aiwass's mind, and for a moment he felt a little lacking in reality and nervousness.
"It's not that there's nothing we can do..."
At this time, the Lord of Scale Feathers said leisurely: "You can also try to modify the narrative of your own path like me."
"Transcendence and adaptation are different paths, Kunpeng."
The snake father refused without hesitation: "I am destined to practice the path of transcendence, and I will never look back until the end. If I try to transcend this fatal fate, it will be tantamount to betraying the transcendence on another level.
Road. This is exactly the 'paradox of transcendence', an infinite wall with neither right nor wrong."
He stared at "Aiwass" with his purple-reddish snake eyes: "Just live like this, carrying my scales and feathers. You... are also a continuation of me."
"——However, 'easier' and 'survival' are not in conflict."
"Aiwass" crossed his arms, shook his head slightly and said: "The way of adaptation also flows with the blood of transcendence - just like the way of authority.
"I will never forget - in the past, predicting the future was the ability to transcend the road. Anchoring the future, and then transcending it... Isn't this what you did before?"
When he heard the secret suddenly disclosed by his boss, Aiwass was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized it.
No wonder……
The Lord of Scales and Feathers has a title, which is the "God of Scales and Feathers", and the church's official title is even "The God of Scales and Feathers", so where does his "scales and feathers" come from?
So that it can become the title of Pillar God?
Sure enough - that is the "feathered snake", the father of all snakes!
The Lord of Scales and Feathers once stole Father Snake's precognitive ability in the past, just like "The Spider Silk Tantra" stole Loki's blood of the Supreme God.
It is precisely because the path of adaptation is mixed with a part of the path of transcendence that today's adaptors will be infected with the characteristics of transcendence - whether they are assassins who assassinate the strong, rich and officials, or they use poison to defeat the weak.
Physicians who are strong and use medicine to defeat death, and hunters who fight against the overflowing "warcraft" that are stronger than intelligent creatures, all have a touch of transcendence.
——Survival of the fittest.
The essence of adaptation is "evolution"! And evolution is undoubtedly "transcendence for survival"...
...This so-called drink and peck is a definite number.
The old act of "wearing scales and adorning feathers" has now become the starting point for adapting to a big deviation in the road...
"—That's not surprising, Aiwass."
When Aiwass thought of this, he suddenly felt that the space around him became dark again.
In the dark space, a chair appeared in front of him. The Lord of Scales and Feathers crossed his knees and crossed his fingers. The faceless man was sitting on the chair not very upright.
There was no light source around, but unexpectedly, the ethereal face of the Lord of Scales and Feathers could be seen clearly.
"——This scene looks like a villain soldier reporting the situation to the backlit BOSS."
Aiwass couldn't help but complain.
But the Lord of Scales and Feathers just chuckled: "Actually, it's not much different.
"You guessed it right...the reason why the path of adaptation has a big deflection is because the path of adaptation is mixed with a part of the path of transcendence. Because of this, the path of adaptation will be more stable when there is a strong enemy.
Some.
"Nowadays, without external enemies, it is easy to deviate from the path of adaptation.
"But this situation is not unexpected. Rather, it is very reasonable - even inevitable.
"Think about your own situation. The impact of the path on the material world is long-lasting and far-reaching. The later pillar gods will eventually be affected by the first. The authoritative god also has a transcendent side and is more powerful.
Traces; the God of Love yearns for the ultimate beauty, and also has the desire of a beast.
"Before I finally ascended to God, I was also a believer of the Serpent Father and even his apostle."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said slowly: "I stole from him the scales called 'Bagua Yao' and the feathers called 'Prey Rain'. The former is the ability to predict, and the latter is evolutionary.
Nature."
"...Why are you telling me such a thing?"
Hearing this essential secret related to the change of pillar gods, Aiwass had no energy left to be curious and amazed. Instead, he perked up and became extremely vigilant.
"Of course it's because you have some relationship with Snake Father."
The Lord of Scale Feather smiled and said: "Huan Tiansi is the son of Snake Father, and you are the half body cut off by Huan Tiansi. You can be regarded as a part of him, or as his younger brother, or as him
Descendants. But no matter what, you have some connection with the snake father on the level of 'fate'.
"——Do you know why various small-probability events always happen around you?"
