Chapter 922 What kind of Tiansi do you want to be?
When Aiwass and Cardinal Galatea arrived at the Ziggurat, they saw that it was already surrounded by a dim barrier.
This should be the preservation technique arranged by the lich Grunewald - at present, it seems that in terms of the level of preservation technique alone, Grunewald is indeed not as good as Master Insect Amber.
However, with the support of Lingbo Tiansi's spine, the strength of this barrier has exceeded the energy limit of the sixth energy level in the material world.
Without Fallen Sky Division taking action personally, it would be quite difficult for the upper demons alone to defeat this barrier.
It's not that it can't be opened... but it will be very laborious.
After all, the path of transcendence is a path that is good at transcending common sense and breaking through limits.
If the demons start the ritual, it will only take a week at most to break this insurmountable barrier of perfection.
...However, considering that there were not many people inside, and they took the initiative to adopt this self-enclosed and passive posture, the demon army was too lazy to attack the ziggurat - they just went around it, after all, there were still many things going on outside.
This is like a multiple-choice question that is as difficult as the last big question - obviously, there is no need to study here until the subsequent questions are answered.
——If the ruthless people inside are forced to die, everyone may die after they come out.
Therefore, the Ziggurat managed to survive the first wave of the most ferocious demons.
However, it is obvious that the defensive method of the ziggurat is not just to set up a barrier and wait there to die... but that someone is constantly monitoring the outside world.
Shortly after Aiwass arrived, the current vice president Adolf hurried out, opened a crack and brought Aiwass and Cardinal Galatea in.
After meeting with "Principal" Matthias Grunewald, Aiwass related the information about the Fallen Division, the Demon Legion and the Ring of Endings ritual, as well as the several paths they could choose.
An old lich explained it clearly.
This ordinary old skeleton covered in black rags floats in the air, tilting its head slightly.
There were dim yellow flames flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, Grunewald's hollow, slow and deep voice sounded as if from the void: "What about the ziggurat?"
"I can only put it here first."
Aiwass shook his head: "Anyway, it would be too ostentatious to fly away directly in the ziggurat. If it attracts the attention of the Fallen Sky Division, everyone will die."
"First……?"
The Lich asked with great interest: "What else will happen next...?"
"Yes. This is not an escape, but a clearing out."
Aiwass nodded and directly stated his future plans: "We will come back eventually.
"I will defeat the Fallen Sky Division and take back this land. By then, I can continue to take over the Ziggurat. Whether you want to continue flying to Avalon or just stay here -
I am also very familiar with the foothold on the side of Avalon. It is the place carved by dusk, where Helchin’s Wild Hunting Legion is located... and it is also near the passage to the Fairy Country..."
"...Defeat Fallen Sky Division...hehe..."
Hearing this, the old lich laughed.
It was not a mockery - it was closer to a kindness that was almost gratifying and emotional. It was like the nostalgic and approving look on the old man's face when he saw that his child had made a wish to "be a scientist in the future."
This old lich, who has lived for a long time, obviously does not have much respect or fear for Fallen Sky Division.
Tiansi? There is nothing that cannot be killed.
He did not ask Aiwass "how is this possible" or simply "what are you going to do?"
It's as if he believed from the very beginning that the aloof Fallen Sky Division could be defeated...
This old lich, who had neither a staff nor a mage ring, and looked as ordinary as a skeletal specimen, without any pressure or momentum, asked Aiwass a question that no one else had ever asked.
.
He said——
"Do you plan to become a Tiansi in the future, Aiwass? What I am saying is, after you can become a Tiansi, and after you have done everything you want to do... do you plan to become a Tiansi, or a Pillar God?
?”
This question really stunned Aiwass for a moment.
——Because he has never thought about this problem before.
Because of the leakage of the Ring of Ending Ceremony, Tiansi will be pulled down one after another. Choosing to become Tiansi at this time is as dangerous as being pulled into the "assessment group" by HR.
From now on, Tiansi's survival no longer depends on his own ability, but on "whether someone wants to drag you into the water." The transcendent power brought about by the snake father's attempt to break through the amber wall is boiling
, will cause Tiansi to appear one after another and be dragged down one after another, thus achieving a relative balance in the dream world.
In addition, there are one crisis after another in this world - even if the danger of Ying Tiansi coming to Avalon is solved by Aiwass in advance, the disaster dragon is still a threshold.
That is the old self that was cut off by the Silver Crown Dragon...or, in other words, that is the "self" that was defeated by the Silver Crown Dragon. The relationship between the Disaster Dragon and the Silver Crown Dragon is like the relationship between Huan Tiansi and
The relationship between pastor and Aiwass is the same.
But there is one difference - the Silver Crowned Dragon did not accept the old self, but it also did not destroy the old self. He just sealed the old self under the iceberg, and sealed it for a long time, suppressing it.
And as long as it is a seal, it will definitely be leaked. One day, the power of disaster will penetrate into the material world... This is especially true when the dream world is ruined by the Ring of Endings ritual.
When this crisis is over, Yuan Tiansi will come again. Then there will be the layout and conspiracy of his adoptive father James Moriarty, and Aiwass' mysterious grandfather Jacob... And in the final moment
Finally, there is the mysterious crisis of the end of the world.
Aiwass solved many problems, but more problems appeared in front of him.
He is like a business backbone - he finally completed a project, followed by a second project that was pushed over, and VIP customers who didn't know how far in line they were...
But if all difficulties are solved, what will Aiwass do next?
After his work is done, after he is "off duty," what does he want to do?
After a brief moment of confusion and hesitation, Aiwass was silent for a moment.
At that moment, Aiwass suddenly thought of Huan Tiansi's dream - Huan Tiansi's answer was that he wanted to go home.
However, this generation of Huan Tiansi is no longer the original savior "Ai Shiping". He has cut himself off too many times, and cut off his own heart of dedication.
What is now Huantiansi is just a snake tail cultivated by Huantiansi in a certain reincarnation in the past.
——In every sense, he is no different from Aiwass.
They are all aborigines of this world - implanted in the original memories of the time travellers collected by Ai Shiping, they thought they had just traveled to this world. Then they explored and grew up with great interest, discovered their own destiny, and transcended their destiny.
...and then launched a rebellion towards his higher self.
They are all obviously aborigines...
But Huan Tiansi wanted to go home.
…Where does he have a home?
The earth is just Ai Shiping's home.
And he is not Ai Shiping at all - the family that truly belongs to "him" only existed in a certain reincarnation in the past for a few hundred years.
When his cycle of reincarnation restarts, he will never, ever be able to return home!
Perhaps he had already gone crazy as early as that time... When he realized that he could not prevent the end and could only watch the reincarnation restart, the last thing he could do... was to complete Ai Shiping's original plan.
ceremony.
——Complete the nine reincarnations.
Now the reincarnation has reached its last week.
Regardless of whether the noble ritual of nine reincarnations can break through the end of the world, the world can only continue to run like this. In other words, by then... the world is destined to enter the future two thousand years later.
As seen in the promotion ceremony, the world will eventually return to the "modernity" that Aiwass longed for - or the "future". Back to the modern era with computers, the Internet, and ice-cold Coke.
And until then...
——Will Aiwass still choose to become Tiansi?
Say goodbye to the material world, become a high-altitude god, and enter the eternal dream world.
Do people gain happiness while overlooking the material world, and protect people from their dreams...or do they enjoy infinite happiness in the material world?
"……I have no idea."
Aiwass was silent for a long time, but still answered honestly: "Because from the beginning, I felt that becoming Tiansi was not a good way out. After death, that's it... If I can live, I think I would rather live.
,enjoy life.”
"Then if," the old lich asked, "this world needs you to become a Tiansi, are you willing to give up everything in the material world?"
"That's natural."
Aiwass said without hesitation: "The most I can do is die. I'm even prepared to die, so how can I be afraid of entering the dream world in advance? The two things are the same... But why do you ask that?
?”
"I was asked to get an answer from you."
The old lich Grunewald replied calmly.
"So do you get it now?"
"Not yet - these questions are just foreshadowing. There is only one real question:
"If you were to become Tiansi, what do you think your honorable name would be?"
"...Do you need me to think carefully?" Aiwass asked cautiously.
This question is too weird.
He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this, or that it foreshadowed something.
"No, please just say the name that comes to your mind first."
Grunewald patiently asked: "No need to think about it... What is the name that immediately comes to your mind?"
"... [Yao]... Come on, Yaotiansi. Bright, shining, brilliant... brighter than all the lights around you, brighter than the sunlight that people are used to, so that people can see the shining light.
.I... want people's attention. I want people to see me shining..."
Aiwass was thinking, and according to Grünewald, he answered whatever came to mind.
He hesitated and asked, "Is this answer okay?"
"Of course - that's enough."
Grunewald answered simply: "I have no other questions. I will go to Avalon with you. You don't need to carry the inheritance of the Ziggurat. I have all the inheritance of this tower."
"When you plan to fight against Fallen Sky Division later, I will also help you."
"...If it's convenient, can I ask," Aiwass became increasingly curious, "Who asked you to ask me this question?"
"It's not very convenient, Your Majesty the Pope."
The old lich shook his head, but still gave some information: "You know too many gods. If I say too detailed... I'm afraid you will know who asked. I swore to keep the secret, so I still
Spare me."
The implication is that this sentence was asked by a certain god.
——It’s really strange, how can you bypass the Pope and ask an intermediary to ask questions?
