Chapter 1077 Pillar God Replacement Plan
The plans and layouts previously carried out by Huantiansi were still a bit too far-fetched for Aiwas.

——At this point, Aiwass finally felt the presence of Huantiansi very clearly.

Think carefully, who are the “protagonists” in the game?

In addition to the player's own main character, there is Aiwass, who possesses the power of both dedication and transcendence, followed by Isabel and Sherlock.

In the real world, the player's main controller and Aiwass are actually the same person - the "son of the snake father" and the "divine entity" was Aiwass from the very beginning, also known as the tail of the Huantiansi snake.

According to previous statements, Isabel will become the "pure and beautiful" Queen of Flowers because of a series of trials; Sherlock is also gradually abandoning his adaptability to the authoritarian path, and according to similar hardships as Isabel, he gradually becomes a transcendent being of pure wisdom.

Think about it again, what Huan Tiansi has done before——

The Crown Master was once an apostle of Huan Tiansi, and the power of Amber to restart reincarnation also came from the former Huan Tiansi. The Snake Father is about to break through the sky and leave, and the new pillar god of this path is Huan Tiansi himself.

Sizhu has an irreplaceable characteristic - after all, only Sizhu can burn the sinthorns and lead the army to "kill viruses"; Shashiji needs to maintain the Jedi Tiantong to ensure isolation. These two pillar gods are a firewall and an anti-virus software, and they are obviously not movable.

——Then the remaining ones are actually Hengwo, Twin Mirrors, Weizhe, and the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

The Lord of Scales and Feathers used to have a good relationship with Huan Tiansi, who was Ai Shiping, and his mental state was also very stable. If he could be considered half of Huan Tiansi's side... then the existence of Isabel and Sherlock was obviously the "artificial pillar god" that Huan Tiansi intended to create!
The so-called "Pillar Gods" are the cornerstones of the world.

Just like an air purifier or water purifier needs to replace the filter after a period of use, the Pillar Gods standing on the front line against the void will inevitably wear out. Among them, Twin Mirror, Wei Zhe and Snake Father are all "less active" Pillar Gods - they may fall into the void silently, or they may be worn out and infiltrated. Then the simplest way to fight against this void is to replace someone before the source river is eroded.

Thinking of this, Aihua suddenly couldn't hold back:
——As a dream world HR, is Huan Tiansi actually planning to fire the director?

But from this perspective, Huan Tiansi seems to still be doing something... at least he is not planning to run away and leave it alone.

but……

Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly thought of another thing.

There was another swamp man that Aiwas had come into contact with earlier.

—Haina Dane.

Her real father had disappeared long ago, and there was little evidence to prove that he was Jacob's ritual assistant.

Haina is a swamp person - but no one knows where her real body is. In other words, she has no real body... Her real body is Lancelot. She can use the Dagger of Arondite and has fragments of Lancelot in her body... Therefore, it is very likely that Haina is a cloned, gender-changed version of Lancelot!
From this perspective, Haina is a failed experiment.

Because she not only has the characteristics of authority and transcendence, but also has some dusk elements. And this part of dusk's power obviously comes from the pollution of the experimental environment.

Then comes the problem.

If Jacob created Aiwass so that Huan Tiansi could possess his body, and trained Isabel and Sherlock to replace the Twin Mirrors and Wei Zhe... then what was the purpose of creating Haina?
Putting aside the fact that Haena was abandoned and died quickly in the original history - his actions should have been motivated.

This is also a weakness of Huan Tiansi... As a genuine "multi-round player", he has long lost his curiosity, and his actions have become extremely utilitarian, and almost every action has meaning. In other words, he will not deliberately do meaningless things.

——Then there is a possibility.

Haena's value lies in her mere existence.

Her existence not only invalidates the Avalon Shadow Ritual and thus points to Shadow Tiansi... I'm afraid there is another point.

That is the Silver Crown Dragon.

The Silver Crown Dragon himself is the Pillar God who once possessed transcendence and authority!
In the original history, the Disaster Dragon, which was the other half of the Silver Crown Dragon, was only revealed after Haina's death.

As the mirror image of Haina and Lancelot was shattered, the delicate balance between the Silver Crown Dragon and the Disaster Dragon was also broken.

But there is another possibility - that is, Haina, the leader of the "Hyena Gang", did not die easily. Although she was killed once by Shadow Tiansi's direct attack, she might have been rescued again. Because she is the opposite mirror image of Lancelot, she is really suitable to be a sacrifice, or a carrier of God's descent...

——The carrier of the disaster dragon.

Because Aiwass remembered very clearly that when the Calamity Dragon first appeared in the plot, it was not in the form of a dragon - or in other words, it had the ability to transform into a human.

She was a tall beauty wearing sharp black and red armor and a helmet that covered the upper half of her face. She had a good figure, the lower half of her face was fair-skinned, and her voice was full of coldness and maturity.

The pseudonym she used at the time was "Arthur", and she even joined the protagonist team to participate in the investigation. It was only later that her true form was revealed, transforming into a black and red dragon.

The leader of the Hyena Gang, "Nameless", was also a tall beauty, but she had scars all over her body that were deliberately left unhealed to enhance her adaptability to the Twilight Path, so that when Aiwas thought of her, his first reaction was "Scarface".

...But now that I think about it, "Wuming" and "Arthur" do have similar physiques.

The Disaster Dragon clearly has the ability of "nothingness". It is the purest villain in the entire game from beginning to end, the kind that wants to destroy the world - except for the Disaster Dragon, all other villains have their own demands, but the Disaster Dragon does not.

Perhaps it was the Disaster Dragon that was eroded, or perhaps the Silver Crown Dragon gave the eroded parts of itself to the Disaster Dragon.

In that world line, Edward, who had the heart of the Calamity Dragon transplanted, accidentally killed Aiwass when attacking the player. This was the ability of the Path of Nothingness.

If that's the case, then James, the adoptive father, suddenly gained an unreasonable amount of power - perhaps part of the reason was that he accepted the gift from the twilight species! That's why Jacob was against James!

"I probably understand..."

Aiwass murmured in a low voice: "For the Pillar Gods who refuse to cooperate, we will directly select people to replace them; and for the Pillar Gods like the Silver Crown Dragon who are willing to obey him, we will find a way to drain his "poisonous blood" to restore the Silver Crown Dragon to a stable state.

"So to say……"

Aiwass suddenly looked at Yulia beside him.

Yulia tilted her head in confusion.

Aiwass's expression turned ugly.

Because he remembered another thing——

The protagonists are not just Sherlock, Aiwass and Isabel.

Theoretically there is another one...that's Yulia.

And Yulia herself is also a swamp person created by Jacob!
In her body, there is the seed of the high-level phantom demon, the Flame-Butterfly, which is a path of pure devotion. The Flame-Butterfly is a brand-new phantom demon that does not exist in the dream world and has no previous life. Logically, this kind of phantom demon should appear when the soul turns into a phantom demon in the source river, rather than directly becoming a phantom demon egg and falling into the material world.

So is there a possibility that Yulia - or the Butterfly of Rebellious Flame, was also the person that Huan Tiansi originally used to replace Si Zhu?
In this case, not counting Hengwo...the three outermost pillar gods close to the Path of Nothingness were all replaced by mortals by Huantiansi.

There is even a possibility.

——Perhaps Hengwo was also cultivated by Huantiansi!
This is not impossible. After all, before becoming the Pillar God, I was not even a celestial official, I was just an apostle.

And Yulia - she is also adaptable to the path of dedication, and even very strong. She has endured pain for a long time but has always remained silent, just because she doesn't want to bring bad mood to others.

Her soul has talents in balance, wisdom, dedication, and transcendence. She chose to become an alchemist in order to give Aiwass some off-field help, so that she can be of help when it is inconvenient for her to go on adventures in the wild. Later, she gradually became addicted to alchemy.

Is there a possibility...

...Was Yulia manually "destroyed" by Huantiansi?
