Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1067 Above the Sky
The target is neither the Heavenly Official nor the Pillar God.

But to become an existence above the Pillar God——

"……Are you serious?"

Walking with Aiwass on the road to the basement, Sherlock couldn't help but lower his voice and ask: "As a pastor, is it okay to say such things? Won't it... violate some kind of taboo?"

After hearing what Aiwass said, he has been feeling uneasy. He doesn't know what he is panicking about, but he just can't calm down and think anymore.

"of course not."

Aiwass shook his head.

If it were the previous Aiwass, he might have modestly said something like "I don't know why I said that" or "I just want to give them an excuse to do good."

But now, Aiwass has finally faced up to his goal.

I am not ashamed of this, nor am I afraid of it - just like a student with poor grades who is always worried about being laughed at if he says his goal is to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University. Therefore, even if he dreams of such a future, when people ask him about it, he still has to smile shyly and say "Ah, any one is fine".

It’s not that I’m afraid to dream.

I just don't dare to say it.

I have such ambitions in my heart, but I am still worried about failure. If I boasted in the past but failed to fulfill it, how shameful would it be?

——That’s what Aiwas used to be like.

When he came to this world and awakened his memories of his past life, he had thought about becoming a pillar god. Before going to bed, he would curl up in his quilt and carefully calculate which pillar god could be replaced, which heavenly officials he would be enemies with, and what hidden dangers and disasters would arise after the pillar god left his position.

He had even thought about things like "what should I be called if I become a celestial being or a pillar god?"

He is either a time traveler, a reborn person, or a fragment of Tiansi - it is not too harsh and unreasonable for him to want to be the top existence in this world, right?
If it were another time traveler, he might have thought about traveling through the whole world on the first day of traveling.

It's just that Aiwass's character is too gentle.

If he wanted to become a Pillar God, it would mean that he would definitely fight against many Pillar Gods. Some people would die, and some people's interests would be damaged. Every change of Pillar God would be a war of genocide based on race. And his one thought would change the future of the whole world and make countless people suffer good or bad lives.

That's why he wanted to become a celestial being in the first place.

Because if it was just a celestial being, no one would be affected. He could protect the world and save others. He had no responsibilities, nor was he a "pillar" to protect the entire world. He just needed to live his own life... just like the celestial beings in the dream world today, finding a place to occupy a mountain, establish their own rules, build their own kingdom, and protect their own believers.

He has to protect his own piece of land, and the outside world has nothing to do with him.

——But now, these blood slaves made Aiwas reflect for a moment.

It's not that he didn't know what these blood slaves had suffered, but that was all knowledge from textbooks, which simply summarized their situation in a few lines. Those words were so light that they could make the paper fly when written on it.

Now, Aiwas finally witnessed everything with his own eyes and finally understood the blood stained on those words.

The page in his mind had been stained with blood and could no longer fly.

What about the Rest? What about the mountains of the North? Besides humans, what about the trolls? What about the harpies? What about the winged ones who were almost exterminated?

In the long river of history, many races have risen and then become extinct. Under the thickness of infinite time, the despair of an individual is indeed as light as dust.

Why did the Pillar God turn a blind eye to this?
In the past, Aiwas would persuade himself and others with words like "The Pillar God's duty is to maintain world stability" and "The Pillar God is the spokesperson of the source river and cannot act arbitrarily." But now, Aiwas finally understood that the reason was that the Pillar God was too weak.

The gods of this world can do very limited things. They can create hundreds of new races, give life to works of art, see thousands of future possibilities, and turn back time... But what each pillar god can do is too limited, and the differences in their paths prevent them from completely uniting.

"Only by becoming a being above the Pillar God can you gain the power to change everything."

Aiwass is not ashamed of such outrageous remarks, nor does he shy away from them.

He tilted his head slightly to look at Sherlock and said frankly: "You have actually figured this out a long time ago, right?" "...Almost."

Sherlock nodded slightly: "Specifically... when I learned that the Church of the Nine Pillars was established earlier than the birth of the Silver Crown Dragon, I had already thought of this possibility.

"——The elves and giants are undoubtedly hostile to each other. Many pillar gods do not like the High Heaven. So why do the elves still worship the Ennead?"

"It's a simple reason," Aiwass continued, "because it is to instill in people a subconscious concept that 'the Ennead is one.'"

"But it is obvious that the Pillar Gods cannot be one. All the extraordinary beings in the material world will be in opposition due to conflicts in their paths, and the Pillar Gods who are pure beings of the path must be even more so. Even if they may be able to maintain a peaceful attitude, they must have different views on some things. And the firm belief that this view is correct is the source of their own power."

Sherlock said softly: "Because of this, the Pillar Gods can never move forward in unison, and can only compromise with each other."

"With the Silver Crown Dragon replacing the High Heaven, a new balance was achieved. But any balance is shaky... and this is no exception."

"You want to replace Snake Father? Or Sizhu? It can't be Heng Wo."

"I've already said it, I want to be a being above the Pillar God. I want to be higher than the sky, higher than everything!"

In the material world, in this world where everything he says must be known, Aiwass finally clearly and frankly stated his purpose: "Devotion and transcendence... I want to walk both paths and have both sources.

"——There is only one answer, I want them all!"

At this moment.

Dream world.

Hengwo, who was dancing alone, stopped for a moment and then continued dancing.

The difference is that she began to set her sights on Aiwass.

"Ha ha……"

Si Zhu, who was walking in the forest, raised his head slightly and chuckled with some relief.

"This kid..."

Sand Timer sneered: "Why not later? If it's later, we can all be finished together."

In front of him was a furnace emitting green smoke. His two sleeves were folded together, and it was impossible to tell which hand was on top.

"finally……"

The Silver Crown Dragon groaned.

His pupils, which were originally as cold as ice, were now slightly red. In the iceberg below him, the active figure of the dragon could no longer be seen.

The girl who was sealed in amber with her eyes closed finally ended her sleep.

"teacher……"

She slowly opened her eyes.

The moment Amber opened her eyes, time in the entire material world came to a complete standstill.

No one, no god - not even the Pillar Gods - could maintain self-awareness in it.

And nine seconds later, she fell asleep again and slowly closed her eyes.

When Amber fell asleep, time began to pass again.
