Aiwass arranged a simple altar in his bedroom and stepped onto it.
The altar is divided into three levels and consists of three rings.
On the four corners of the outermost altar, there are five rubies, five ambers, five blue crystals, and five emeralds, symbolizing fire, earth, water, and wind.
In Central, there is a piece of ice between the earth and the water, which means "cold"; there is a piece of flaming spirit between the wind and the fire, which means "hot"; there is a pearl between the water and the wind, which means "humidity".
"; There is a piece of loess between the earth and the fire, which means "dry".
In the innermost ring is a round topaz.
Symbolizes balance.
When the altar was taking shape, the power of balance flowed within it—the four-color radiance flowed back and forth like rays of light, and the room overflowed with phenomena visible to the naked eye.
It wasn't until Aivas stepped up one level at a time that his presence briefly destroyed the power of balance.
"——I pay my respects to Sand Timekeeper, the god of five sacred numbers!"
Aiwass called out loudly every time he took a step.
"The God of Jedi Heavenly Power, the God of Harmony——
"Hourglass of Balance!"
When Aiwass stepped onto the highest level of the altar and then called out the holy name of Sand Clock.
The truly powerful force of balance immediately overwhelmed Lily and Selene who were watching the ceremony next to them——
Lily held her breath immediately.
She clearly felt that all the power in her body was blocked by a mighty, invisible and colorless force.
That is a completely different experience from the forced seal of the authoritarian path.
It's not like there's a strong lock on it, a nail driven through it, an order not to do it...
…but “perfect neutrality”.
For example, if you can control fire, you can add the same cold to it at the same speed and the same amount. The power is still used, but it has no impact on the outside world... It's like asking a person to step on his left foot with his right foot, or
It's like catching yourself with a fishing rod, which is naturally impossible.
The extraordinary power is covered by the overwhelming power of balance. Except for the power of balance, all other forces in the entire space are "forcibly neutralized."
In this area, any power must be ineffective... any spell will automatically disintegrate before it is formed.
As if this is a world without any extraordinary power——
However, only the power of balance itself, its presence overwhelmingly covers everything.
Aiwass' whole body was submerged in the four-color glow.
But his consciousness briefly entered the gap between the material world and the dream world.
——Yes, it is the house that Morgan gave to him and Isabel.
As soon as Aiwass opened his eyes, he saw a thin old man wearing a yellow robe with white hair and white beard looking around, his brows slightly furrowed with a hint of disgust.
"Young man, please pay attention to your health."
Sand Clock criticized it neither lightly nor heavily.
Aiwass noticed that the sand timepiece now has the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom.
This seems to be a relatively less talkative, more rigorous and plain scholar personality.
So Aiwass got down to business directly: "I want to use [The Gap of Two Instruments] now."
"Your path is now very balanced."
Sand Clock didn't ask why, just reminded.
"But from now on... I will wear the Holy Crown."
Aiwass replied: "At that time, my path will begin to become less balanced... and while I am sleeping, I will no longer be able to call you to divide me. In that case, it may bring some hidden dangers, or it may not
stable……"
"With me here, there won't be any stupid mistakes like that."
Sha Shiji said calmly: "Even if you wear the Holy Crown, I can finely separate the other you..."
But the old man didn't say much, let alone persuade Aiwass.
He just opened the cuffs slightly and spread his hands apart.
When his hands separated, something that was neither black nor white, as empty as a crack in the world emerged from it again.
"How do you want to cut it specifically?"
Sand Clockwork asked calmly: "It must be that the two paths of dedication and transcendence are separate...other than that, are there any other needs?"
"I...have the blessing of twin mirrors."
Aiwass hesitated for a moment, then said: "It can turn me into another race. But as long as I am seriously injured or hit by a blunt object... the 'mirror' will be broken."
"Well, I can see the illusory blood."
The old man said in a nonchalant manner: "Tell me the important point."
"I want to... separate the reality and the mirror image. That is to make the me in the mirror real..."
"You want the avatar that transcends the path to become a child of the moon? Is that what you mean?"
Sand Timepiece summarized Aiwass's needs and gave a more accurate and streamlined version.
"It's best to be able to switch back and forth between the three images," Aiwass quickly emphasized, "My illusory blood has three forms..."
"There has to be a main body. You can't break into three after being attacked, right?"
Sha Shijie reminded: "You can usually use another image for activities. But there must always be a 'real you'... And let me remind you, because yin and yang need to be divided, the other you should be a female.
It can be divided into yin and yang. Otherwise, your personality may have to be divided... Judging from my past experience, it is best not to take action on personality."
"Ok, I know."
Aiwass nodded: "Let's set the body to...the image of No. 14."
"That's the little girl, right? Adult men and women as avatars... Let me confirm again, that's the difference, right?"
"Yes, I confirm."
"What about your little cards? As the power of transcending the path, are they all transferred to this avatar? Or should they be separated according to transcendence and dedication?"
Sand Clock asked.
...In other words, should I keep the little butterfly?
Aiwass thought for a while and decided to take her with him.
It's not that he doesn't have any dangerous problems in the Theocracy... but it's because the Phantom Card can see the outside world through Aiwass's body.
Aiwass went to Star Antimony, and the crow played with him; but the little butterfly stayed behind and went to jail... This made Aiwass feel bad.
"No, let's all share it with this transcendent clone."
"good."
Sand Clockwork closed his cuffs again and said simply: "Then you go back."
"When will it be divided?"
Aiwass asked.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was suddenly startled - because his voice turned into a crisp girl's voice at some point. And there was another familiar but somewhat unfamiliar voice in the air at the same time.
... Strange because the sounds you hear are different from the sounds heard by outsiders.
"Aiwass" suddenly turned around and saw another Aiwass looking at him in astonishment.
"When will it be divided? Oh, it has already been divided."
The corners of Sha Shiji's mouth raised slightly, but his tone became more severe: "Who do you think I am?
"Go back... Even if it only takes half a year, remember to give yourself a serious name. A name like 'No. 14' is really not a personal name.
"Remember, you are a human being. You are not something, let alone a commodity or goods."
Sand Timepiece taught him a serious lesson.
The next moment, Aiwass's vision went dark.
When he woke up again, a sharp pain resounded deep in his brain.
His soul has never had a moment...oh, there is still some. When he gave part of his soul to Isabel before, his soul was so weak.
Aiwass felt that his consciousness was divided into two at the same time - Aiwass and No. 14 looked at each other, their five fingers touched together, feeling that the perspective became double, the touch also became double, and he suddenly felt
A strange feeling.
"Lily, I seem to understand you."
After a brief hesitation, two voices sounded at the same time.
