Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1341 The Characteristics of the Rainbow Path

—Bang!

It was like a transparent glass window being shattered.

The entire sky shattered instantly when Aiwas grasped it lightly!
Fragments of time and space spun and fell to the ground. Each fragment reflected Ai Shiping's past memories.

Whether happy or sad.

Whether it's madness or indifference.

They might be laughing wildly with their arms outstretched, or sobbing alone in a deserted corner.

—Those are memories that the Celestial Division did not pass on to Aiwass.

These "past" events all transformed into a rainbow-colored meteor shower, falling to the earth.

When they land...

The desolate land, and the sinful thorns that covered it, were easily shattered and reshaped by these iridescent colors.

Once the sky was stripped of its former colors, it turned into a pitch-black void.

But the dead earth, after enduring all that had happened, blossomed with countless flowers.

It was an extremely ordinary little purple flower.

"That is……"

Aiwas slightly opened his eyes.

That's a lilac.

Memories of the past, accompanied by a familiar scent, resurfaced from the depths of his heart—the flowers on the trees cultivated in the old courtyard of his childhood home in his previous life.

But at this moment, they unexpectedly grew on the ground.

The translucent lilacs spread across the ground, forming a sea of ​​flowers that swayed in the wind. In the pitch-black world, they recreated the entire earth.

The savior, with his six-colored wings spread wide, stood alone in a dark and lightless world, raising his head.

But the lilacs on the ground emitted a warm, soft glow, illuminating the dark world.

As the entire world collapsed and shattered before Aiwass's eyes... however, the light screen displaying the message "Necessary mission completed" did not appear before him as it had in the past.

—Without a doubt, Aiwass has passed the promotion ceremony.

Aiwas could clearly feel the two paths of power within his body surging with joy—endless power was being drawn into his body from the outside world. Aiwas was like a vortex at this moment, constantly devouring everything in the surrounding world.

That's more than just the strength of the sixth energy level!
He surpassed that moment in the blink of an eye, and the next moment he was even stronger than that moment—

Aiwas's rapid increase in strength even frightened himself.

But he was inexplicably stuck here, unable to see any prompts to complete the advancement ceremony or escape this place.

If the past promotion ceremonies were like being splashed with water after passing the Nine Pillar Gods' test, then at this moment, it was as if he were standing under a waterfall, receiving a direct scouring of the path of cultivation—or even two waterfalls!
He clearly doesn't even know what the main quest is...

But just then, looking at the sea of ​​flowers, Aiwas suddenly realized something.

Why did he suddenly accept such a powerful Daoist force...?

the reason is simple.

—Promotion to the celestial bureau requires great achievements.

Just as Aiwas's great achievements are the miracle of the land of Manning itself.

This "need" is to gain the resonance and recognition of the Source River. Therefore, to open up the Source River and become a Pillar God, an even greater feat is required.

"Wanning" is indeed a feat worthy of a Celestial Division level official. However, as a Pillar God... especially the Pillar God of the Xinyuan River, he still falls short.

But things are different now.

Aiwas had some of his memories and abilities sealed by the Celestial Bureau, and he experienced the same experience as Ai Shiping, the "Celestial Bureau Chief of Reincarnation".

From Yuanhe's perspective, Ai Shiping and Ai Huasi have become one.

In other words, Aiwas has inherited Ai Shiping's past at this moment.

They also inherited Ai Shiping's achievements and great deeds, and the "miracles" he created!
Just like in a seasonal game, the resources and powerful equipment accumulated in the previous season are carried over to this season.

—That is the bitter wine brewed over hundreds of thousands of years, or even more, of eternal cycles of reincarnation.

"—No need to worry."

At that moment, a somewhat cold and aged voice came from behind.

Aiwass turned around and saw that it was the sand timepiece—the sand timepiece in the scholar's pose.

He appeared behind Aiwass at some point, gazing at the void above, seemingly studying something intently.

"—Hahahaha! How could we possibly be absent from your final promotion ceremony?"

The one laughing heartily was a pillar god that Aiwas had never seen before.

It was an old giant with an extremely long white beard, one eye, and great strength.

Two ravens perched on his shoulders, one on each side; he rode an eight-legged celestial horse and held a thunder spear with branches like tree branches.

That's Odin.

The secret successor of Wezmir.

The next moment, the candle maker slowly walked out from the path.

As He walked, a narrow path of fire spread across the ground.

"We'll help you."

He whispered to Aiwass like a loving father. Then, he gracefully lowered his head and slowly chewed on the luminous, crystal-like purple flowers on the ground.

"It's finally come to this."

A very familiar voice rang out.

That was the boss—the faceless head of the Scaled Feather Lord, who met Aiwass's gaze and let out a hearty laugh: "I know you can do it."

Next to appear was a girl whom Aiwas had never seen before.

She had snow-white hair, even her eyebrows and eyelashes were white, and her pupils were a cold, icy blue. She looked like someone with albinism, or someone covered in frost.

She was biting a wooden stick, with two white ribbons crossed in front of her mouth like an "X." It was like a "forbidden" version.

That is the Winter Maiden.

Just then, a very familiar, somewhat carefree, cheerful voice rang out beside Aiwass:
"Ah... the big group sent me to witness all of this. After all, it might be a bit crowded if we all came."

“…Senior?” Aiwas murmured.

The person appearing beside Aiwass was Haina.

She wore silver-white armor, holding a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left, as valiant and heroic as a raging storm.

"That basically means everyone's here."

"Sand clock said."

...Are you all here?
Aiwas paused for a moment.

There are only six pillar gods.

If the Serpent Father has no successor, and each person's eyes symbolize the Twin Mirrors... then there is still one Eternal Self left.

...Eternal Self?
“Her suffering is finally over.” Si Zhu sighed. “The only good news is… she hasn’t been corrupted by the Void. In the future, she and Thor can be reborn again.”

—Sol.

That was the Beast Lord's real name.

Contrary to the savagery implied by the name "Beast Lord," Thor, who inherited the fragment of Taiyi, is actually a sun god in essence.

However, in that dark world, there was no possibility of the sun being born.

"The pillar of the nation has fallen into the abyss and is destined to be hopeless."

"Just like the old scene of yesteryear, the sun sets and all kinds of beasts are born."

"Everyone says that monsters are rampant and have become a plague, but who knows that this is also the way of creation?"
"The bestiality that struggles in darkness and pain is always better than the nothingness that buries everything. But I think... there is another way for people to live."

This is exactly what Hengwo once said to Haibasha.

Thor alone could not withstand the pressure of nothingness. So Ego seized his divine position—just as love defeated the beast. Pure love, selfless love, love without any impurities.

It is because of the entanglement of love and the path of beast that the sun and moon alternate. Thus, the half-body of Xi Tian Si came into being, illuminating the sky as the third sun.

Now, the dawn's flame has burned out, and the sun has perished. This symbolizes that I have reached my limit.

As the amber perishes, the eternal self alone cannot withstand the pressure of nothingness.

—Then it would be better to choose a clean death while one is still pure.

“Stillness…that is precisely the difference between ‘easier’ and ‘more’, the other side of ‘easier’.”

The Lord of Scales and Feathers said leisurely, "Amber, with the fruit of the Serpent Father she inherited, chose the mirror, which is the opposite, to weaken the power of nothingness."

"And a miracle is simply taking another step of 'creation' in the midst of infinite stillness."

As the Lord of Scales and Feathers finished speaking.

At this moment, the material world.

After the sun set, only the moon remained in the sky. And now, even the pure moon was half-blackened, like ink splattered on a lamp.

But at that moment, the moon suddenly burst into light.

That was pure white light.

In a fleeting instant, the dazzling moonlight illuminated the heavens and the earth.

In that instant, the moon seemed to transform into the sun.

Following the pure white moonlight that illuminated the heavens and the earth, people finally saw the true nature of those "black ink"—

That is……

Snakes that look like tentacles.

Endless black snakes covered the sky, obscuring the entire firmament.

They gnawed and tore tiny cracks into the sky.

And the next moment——

—The moon shattered at its most brilliant moment.

The moonlight shattered into billions of fragments, piercing through billions of black snakes.

The black snakes hissed as they were purified, leaving the entire sky clean.

Of course, this darkness continues to pour out from the gap that was once the "sun".

But for at least a moment, the moonlight killed all the nothingness in the world.

For at least a moment, the moonlight replaced the sun in illuminating the pitch-black world.

At that moment——

Light is a miracle.

The next moment, endless moonlight surged in and condensed into a wine glass.

Then, pure white, transparent light seeped out from the cup.

Aiwas could clearly sense that the wine in that glass was not the power of Eternal Self.

That is the power of miracles.

At this moment, Aiwass realized something else—

The Celestial Division never inherited this power!
By twisting the Ouroboros into an endless knot, he completely circumvented the concepts of "reincarnation" and "cycle." Therefore, he was never able to inherit the power of his previous life from the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore... he needed to lure Lucifer, who could have become the third sun, into corruption at the beginning of each cycle, steal half of Lucifer's Celestial power, and reach the position of Celestial Lord.

He kept that great achievement hidden from use.

Now, this bitter wine, which has been brewing for 100,000 years, has finally fallen into Aiwass's hands.

Aiwas tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

The next moment, the distorted world healed once more.

Red and purple—two completely opposite sources of power—finally coalesced into a new radiance within Aiwas's body.

That was pure white.

And the moment he drank that bitter wine, his "system" was finally revived—

The "system" formed from these cycles of experience is the gift that the original Ai Shiping left for his future selves!
Only Ai Shiping himself knows what kind of gifts he likes.

Just like the curious message in Aiwass's cardinal robes...

That was a new message left by your past self in one of the previous cycles of reincarnation for your next self.

At this moment, the characters displayed by the "system" turned into burning white.

This symbolizes that all the gifts of the past have been used up, and that this gift from the past has become an integral part of Aiwass.

Symbolizing the complete burning out of Ai Shiping's last remnants, Ai Huasi embarked on a completely new path.

[Necessary tasks have been completed]

[Inheriting the Will of the Past (Completed)]

[Strengthen your resolve (Completed)]

Embarking on a New Path (Completed)
