Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1226 Haina's Decision
Earlier in the promotion ceremony, Aiwass knew that although this old ritualist looked calm and reliable, he was actually radical and crazy in nature.

It is no wonder that he was betrayed when he was young - for a native Parthian who had never had contact with any outsiders, the fact that he could do anything that could "be betrayed" with his own determination proved his transcendent nature.

"I can understand you, old man."

Zhu Tang nodded and agreed, "Everyone will die sooner or later. I don't want to be like some people who just insist on living but live like a ghost... In my opinion, it's better to die gloriously.

"For a superhuman, there is nothing more shameful than dying in bed. Superhuman powers make us arrogant and conceited, thinking that we can control our own destiny and transcend the mundane world...but in the end, we fall back into the mundane world and die in the course of time like an ordinary old man. Is there anything more ironic than this?"

“That’s true…”

Aiwass sighed: "The beauty is old and the general is old, the world is unbearable. This is understandable."

"I want to go home because I have family that I can't leave behind."

Zhu Tang's words were full of envy: "If not for this, I really want to enter this gorgeous death with you. It would be a wonderful thing to be killed in the battle with the Heavenly Officials. This is much better than being beheaded by the emperor, dying on a sickbed or in prison.

"Those famous generals who have fought on the battlefield would envy me! If they had the chance, they would probably want to launch a desperate charge against Tiansi... What a heroic death that would be! With such a death, even the most meaningless life would seem to have meaning."

The two old men, who were both ritualists, seemed to have a resonance at this moment - although one of them was about to die, and the other was less than sixty years old and could only be barely called a middle-aged or elderly person, at this moment they were exchanging opinions fiercely and excitedly about fire and graves.

Looking at them, Aiwass sighed helplessly.

——He can understand it.

Ligeia, who was still old Meg at the time, chose to participate in the life-threatening promotion ceremony even though she still had a long life ahead of her because she could not bear her own aging and weakness.

The authoritarian path is intolerable, and the transcendent path is even more intolerable.

only……

He looked at Haina and said unhappily, "What do you want to do again, Senior? Don't tell me, have you had enough of living?"

"……almost."

Haina nodded seriously.

"——Hey, little girl."

And it was heard that the first person to speak was Zhu Tang.

He "looked" at this girl who was only a few years younger than his own daughter, and couldn't help but say, "You are still very young...what's the big deal about life or death. You are so young...you are less than 30 years old, right? You have reached the fifth energy level. You will definitely be a top powerhouse in the world in the future. Your good days are still ahead!"
"Honestly, I dare not even think about how happy I would be if I could get this position before I turned thirty. Haha, if the emperor hadn't suspected me, I would have become the most powerful official in the world! You still have at least fifty years of happiness in your life!"

There was undisguised envy in Zhu Tang's words.

The fifth energy level itself is not particularly strange.

In Aiwas's previous life, it was roughly equivalent to the top 100 richest people in the world. But now that the tide of transcendence has arrived, this number has spread rapidly and has almost been diluted to the top 1,000.

Although every country has several, it is not uncommon for large countries to have dozens or even hundreds of them.

——But if you have this level of wealth in your early twenties, it is completely different from having this level of wealth in your forties or fifties.

"If you die here, what will happen to your parents? You still have a younger brother."

Aiwas looked at her with some concern: "If it doesn't work...you can go to Taichu with Zhu Tang and the others. I'll pick you up after everything is settled." Hearing that Haina was determined to die here, he couldn't understand it - it was completely meaningless, and he didn't know what Haina's motive was. He could only regard it as a little girl's fantasy.

"One of the reasons... is that I want revenge."

Haina said seriously, "I once saw a scumbag in the promotion ceremony, a scumbag from the Turbid School who enjoyed killing people. His code name in the ceremony was 'cake maker'... He made me understand what killing and cruelty are in the true sense.

"I also truly realized that... the small-scale security battles in Avalon are nothing at all.

"It was he who made me shed my innocent shell and determined to become stronger. Now I have abandoned the path of authority and gained a stronger power, which is the determination to kill him in the past. I swear to kill him with my own hands as a reward for my growth. This is the 'pledge' I made to the Lord. Although the Lord is no longer here... I don't want to break it. Because this is also the oath I made to 'myself'.

"——And the 'Pastry Master' mentioned the 'Morning Dew Prayer' and the 'Holy Well' unintentionally. According to the information I got from the harpy people, these are things unique to the Holy Well City. In other words, he is from the Holy Well City."

“…Revenge.”

Ibn murmured, feeling lost.

One of his motives for wanting to rest this time was revenge.

His and Aiwas's common enemy, Aziz bin Abdul, was resting in peace, but he seemed to have changed his name, so that even the well-informed harpy could not find him.

Now that he saw Haina had found clues about his enemy, he felt a little envious for a moment.

"Rather than revenge," Aiwass looked at Haina with a high opinion of her, "it's better to say it's 'hunting' the old enemy... Come to think of it, before the existence of the Adaptation Path, the Sixth Source River was just called the Hunting Path.

"This can be considered an act of tracing back to the source. Perhaps you got inspiration from this power and suddenly became so strong."

"I have a feeling... as long as I complete the hunt, I will be able to touch the energy wall of the sixth energy level."

Haina looked at Aiwass: "To be honest, Aiwass, I have no interest in ascending to the dream world. But if I am not mistaken... you are planning to participate in the promotion ceremony, right?"

"...That's right."

Aiwass did not hide anything from his people: "I plan to hold a ceremony of absence, occupying both the path of transcendence and dedication."

The ritual of absence is necessarily one that permits mutual killing.

In Rest and Advancement, this type of ritual is actually beneficial to him. At least it can effectively prevent backstabs and off-site secret alliances... just like what he did in Avalon in the past.

This is their home ground.

“When the time comes, I will help you. Just because you have been a pope, a good lord, and a prince, but you still treat me as a friend, are willing to call me senior, and don’t let me address you with honorifics…”

Haina said seriously: "This time, I will lift you to a higher position. This is what I really want to do."

Previously, Grey’s picture couldn’t be posted no matter what. I heard that the artist’s live broadcast room for drawing His Holiness the Pope was also blocked, so he used a floral quilted jacket to blur the picture... and as a result, the live broadcast room was not blocked!

I suddenly had an idea and asked for a censored trial version of the flowery cotton jacket! As expected, I was able to post it!

Please use your imagination to transform the flowered cotton jacket into skin on the alarm clock. The picture is not finished yet, and the complete version of the peripherals will be given in the peripheral gift box after the book is completed!
It's really mysterious. I feel that the more astringent Ale was not banned. I suspect the review was based on the size of the dice thrown.
