Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1285 Come forth, my lords!

Jacob's expression turned serious.

He took the staff from Morgan, slammed it to the ground, faced east, and began the most forbidden incantation: "Come, O sir—"

As Jacob chanted, the "angel Aiwass" behind him was activated and spread his wings.

He repeated Jacob's chant in a synthesized voice, half a beat slower. Meanwhile, the Geometry Archon watched intently, trying to record and replicate the ceremony.

"—Come forth, my lords!"

As the angel Aiwass also began to chant, it was as if a slightly blurred, tilted pane of glass appeared between Him and Jacob, dividing the entire world into two parts.

"This is a secret that should be revealed but has not yet been revealed. I, who dwell in the starlight, ignite the fire of divinity here!"

As Jacob chanted, the Geophysician controlled his limbs to leave his body and transform into four different geometric shapes.

Fire is a tetrahedron, earth is a hexahedron, wind is an octahedron, and water is an icosahedron.

They flew to Jacob's front, back, left, and right, radiating light and establishing an extremely solid ritual site.

"This is the flame of creation, this is the light of destruction!"

Jacob continued chanting: “I am the axis of the beginning, throughout the whole universe. You will see the truth, but I am still unknowable.”

“Behold—the old ways are as defiled as the darkest night, but the prophet will bring good teachings and lead you to the gate of truth!”
"I am the fire in the hearts of all people, the flame at the core of the universe. I am the source of life, the crown jewel of life! Therefore, those who understand my true nature will glimpse the secret of death—"

He recited this supreme and magnificent ceremony in the primordial language, the language used by the first "civilization".

Meanwhile, the voice of the angel Aiwas gradually became mechanical, transforming into the voice of the Scaled Ones—the original language of the world and the prototype of the ancient Parthian language: "I am the inextinguishable flame burning in the hearts of all people and in the core of every star. I am life, and the giver of life. Therefore, to know me is to know death."

"I am the supreme one who performs incantations, and also the king who exorcises demons;

It is the axis of the wheel and the square of the ring.

"'Submitting to me' is utter nonsense—because the constant movement is inherent in myself!"

As Jacob chanted, the surrounding environment was completely sanctified.

There is no need to pray in the temple, for the temple itself can move—wherever you are, that is the place where God manifests His presence.

At this moment, the slanted "glass" between the angel Aiwass and Jacob became even more dazzling.

Looking from either direction towards the other would be like looking through a frosted glass lens, making it impossible to see clearly. It's as if they exist in two different worlds, not the same one.

As Jacob continued chanting, the angel Aiwass's chanting gradually synchronized with his, no longer lagging behind.

When they were in perfect synchronization, Jacob raised his staff.

Because the "mirror" was tilted forward, when the staff was raised, the tip of the staff, which was the crystal ball containing the white dragon, had already entered the plane of the angel Aiwass. It was as if one had entered the world within a mirror.

The crystal ball is invisible in another world, so the white dragon was able to escape directly from the crystal.

It roars and grows as soon as it sees the wind.

A howling wind swept across the land in an instant, and snowflakes fell from the sky. All of this was contained within the small ring of the Geometry Celestial Bureau, without affecting anything outside.

However, on the other side of the tilted mirror, all that can be seen is a roaring, surging, world-ending tsunami.

Finally, instead of repeating Jacob's ritual, the angel Aiwass sang first: "Now, cover the shrine!"

"This is the principle that brilliance can devour people: the light of truth can blind people instead."

"To fools I am 9, to upright people I am 8, and also 1 of 8."

"The blind see me as black, but the visible see me as blue and gold—"

The ritual of the ring of the tail is not, in essence, a curse that would cause the gods to fall to earth.

— Rather, it is "truth" and "hope".

His true sacred number is 11, which means miracle.

A miracle is the possibility within the impossible; it is the exception that dissolves all inevitability.

“There is brilliance in my hidden name, just as the son of midnight is the sun.”

"Spread your wings, awaken the full brilliance within you—"

At that moment, the angel Aiwass and Jacob spoke the same words.

That was the command to begin the ceremony, and also the secret to its success: "—Come forth, my lords!"

The angel Aiwass spread his wings, becoming incomparably radiant and dissolving into light. Jacob, too, smiled, vanishing without a trace.

This is a one-time ritual that can only be initiated by simultaneously sacrificing two people who are closely connected in the material world and the dream world.

The last thing sacrificed in this ritual was Arthur and the Red Calamity.

This is why Arthur would pass the throne to Lancelot.

And now, Lancelot has once again grasped the holy sword.

However, the sacrificers became the apostle Jacob and the angel Aiwass.

One turned into light, the other into nothingness.

Only the tilted mirror remains between the two. One side holds infinite light, while the other is reality.

As Jacob sang—You will see the truth, but I still cannot know it.

They were completely absorbed in the ritual, transforming into a blinding, man-eating light!
Upon hearing the summons, Qitian Si stepped forward, reached out his hand into the light, and grasped the flawless radiance.

As he slowly drew his sword, the other side of the mirror no longer overflowed with light, but instead transformed into a sky full of flying snow.

—That was a scene from the dream world.

From a unique angle, one can glimpse snow rapidly covering the steep, crimson cliffs. Meanwhile, two giant dragons, one white and one red, roar and fight in the air.

After the light was grasped by the Celestial Knights and pulled into the material world... it constrained its form and transformed into a pure white blade. The tilted mirror gradually dissipated.

He actually pulled a holy sword made of pure white light from the infinite light that the angel Aiwass had transformed into!

——True light is like a blade.

Qi Tiansi faced the tsunami resolutely and took a step forward.

He tilted his sword, aiming it at the roaring Yuan Tiansi.

Swing your sword and slash!
—That was an invisible sword aura.

There was no radiant light of the path, nor any imposing aura or scorching flames.

There was only a dark, twisted mark, as if space itself had been cut.

It cleaved the sea and struck Yuan Tiansi.

Unexpectedly, this attack did not cause any fatal damage to Yuan Tiansi.

however--

Just as the dark spatial distortions gradually faded, the entire world was split in two by the "mirror" that Jacob had created earlier!
At this moment, the Riding Heaven Division is the center line.

If you look at him from the left, you can see Guinevere holding a holy sword, riding a white horse, with a resolute gaze. Her eyebrows and eyes even have a hint of Haina's temperament.

However, if one looked at him from the right side of the Celestial Knights, what one would see was Lancelot holding a holy sword and wearing silver armor.

The space where Guinevere was located was the dream realm where the white dragon and the red dragon were fighting.

Roaring storms and heavy snow, and crimson mountains scattered with countless swords.

The world Lancelot lived in was the material world where Yuan Tiansi rode a tsunami across the sky.

--Yes.

At this moment, the Great Abyss was split in two by this attack!
He appeared to be only half a body, and no matter how he moved, he remained half.

From the left side of the mirror, it looks like a red dragon, but from the right side, it looks like a giant whale!
And no matter how the red dragon and the giant whale moved... even as the world spun, the mirror blades still held them together—the camera was locked on this spot.

Although the Crimson Calamity was not completely pulled into the material world, the material world and the dream world were completely connected at this moment!
At least at this time, here and now.

The material world and the dream world have already overlapped.

The red dragon also overlapped with the giant whale.

This scene is exactly the same as the ceremony Arthur performed to defeat the High Heavens.
