Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 884 The Second Source River
Everyone present knew something about mysticism.

Just hearing what Aiwass said, Baike immediately reacted: "Disenchantment?"

The art of disenchantment in the path of balance is also known as the "art of no art".

That is the ability to dispel other mysteries, make them powerless and "balance" them. It is also the fundamental principle of the balanced path that can completely invalidate the power of other paths.

The "language" that once could kill the second sun has now become just a tool for people to communicate. This kind of popularization and weakening is the disenchantment power of the balanced path!

Aiwass said softly: "The third sun is Hengwo and his son, Xi Tiansi. He is a gentler and weaker sun than the second sun... Since the second sun can disintegrate into stars after death, can it be said that the second sun has more powerful power than Tiansi, for example..."

Baike murmured in a low voice and took over the conversation: "Pillar God?"

But just uttering these words made everyone horrified.

"A mortal body killing a pillar god... is this really possible?"

Drifter couldn't believe it.

——It is possible.

Aiwass was convinced in his heart.

The evidence is Yi Tiansi.

After defeating the giant sky-eating beast Nibiru, Yi Tiansi commissioned the Sand Clock to cut himself in half. One half entered the ownerless Fourth Source River and became the master of the Path of Wisdom.

As the other half of the "Supreme Heaven", he did not step into the Unowned Source River - because there was no war for the position of Pillar God after that. But in the second painting of the Aiwass promotion ceremony, he "put on bear skin" and his eyes became like those of the sky-eating beast.

——From another perspective, could it be that the battle between the Pillar Gods has ended?

The ancient secret that his boss had told him came to Aiwas' mind:

[——At that time, the Sky-Eating Beast was almost the overlord of the earth. ]

[——He ate powerful beasts and became even more powerful; he ate wise beasts and became even more wise. He devoured the long-lived magic tree and ate tens of millions of scaly creatures, and gained a hard shell and solid bones.]

By devouring... to gain the opponent's abilities.

The winged king who had not yet become the Winged Sky Master at that time - or who might have already become the Winged Sky Master, relied on the blessing of the "Hunting King", the master of the hunting way, and followed the hunting way to hunt down the sky-eating beast.

Then comes the key point——

[——He drank the opponent's blood, ate all the opponent's flesh, and covered himself with the opponent's fur. He gained the power from the King of the Earth.]

Drink it, eat it up, and then gain the opponent's strength.

What the Winged King did at that time was exactly the same as what the sky-eating beast Nibiru did!

And in this process, the reason why he was able to win was because he had stronger [power] than his opponent!
Aiwass had witnessed similar wars elsewhere.

That was the final battle of the High Heaven—

The Silver Crown Dragon followed the path of transcendence, defeated the Pillar God Supreme Heaven of the path of power with his strength, and usurped his authority. And all this was because he had a stronger "authority" than the other party!
——Use the power of other paths and follow the opponent's path to surpass the opponent. The necessary condition for victory is a new path from the same source.

Now it seems that this is a necessary ritual for the succession of the Pillar God!
In other words, the sky-eating beast Nibiru is the former pillar god who was defeated by the Supreme Heaven and became his nourishment!
The path He masters... should be "eating" or "devouring".

The so-called survival of the fittest is a more primitive law of the jungle than the era of "strength is everything" and it is the most primitive form of "violence" in life.

Just as the "power" is still hidden inside the Silver Crown Dragon, the authority of the material world will occasionally be violated by more powerful forces; after the High Heaven defeated and devoured Nibiru, the giants he created also developed the instinct and bad habit of "devouring other races."

The Winged Ones have no habit of eating people, as can be seen from Wei Zhe. Even the Supreme Heaven himself does not eat people... The Giants do not have the custom of living sacrifices.

Why do the giants, who were created directly by the Most High, have such barbaric habits? Why are they looked down upon and even regarded as uncivilized beasts by the Most High himself?

There is only one reason - the instincts within the giants do not come entirely from the High Heaven, but a large part comes from Nibiru!

Rather than creating its own representative in the material world, it would be more accurate to say that the Supreme Heaven is "cutting off" the remnants of uncontrolled "food" in its own body!

And from another perspective...it also implies something else.

That is, during that period, the Pillar Gods were able to walk on the earth, eat people at will, and even be killed by people!
In the Second Sun Age, the material world and the dream world have not yet been completely separated!
If the Veil of Balance covered the entire world, completely separating the dream world from the material world...if even dreams, rituals, and prayers could not be connected, then there would be no supernatural powers in this world at all.

On the other hand, if the Lord of Balance has not yet achieved the connection between heaven and earth, the material world and the dream world will inevitably be confused together.

In that case, both the Heavenly Officials and the Pillar Gods would be able to walk freely in the material world. These true gods would hold power and be able to change the world at will... This would inevitably lead to great chaos.

Yi Tiansi is the master of the Tower of Babel - or at least he has used the power of the Tower of Babel. The fact that he was able to kill the Sky-eating Beast must have something to do with the Tower of Babel. Among the "herbivores" led by Yi Tiansi in the second painting, there may be mages from the Tower of Babel.

[——Without wisdom, we live in confusion on earth. We will always fall into a cycle that repeats itself over and over again. Only by touching the truth can we understand everything. ] [——I will come back, fox. You just need to stay in this tower... When I get the truth, I will solve the doubts for everyone. Why do we fight and why do we live? ]

This is what the "White Horse" said to the "Fox" on the Tower of Babel before heading to the Fourth Source River during the promotion ceremony.

If we put these things together,

The second sun was killed by "language", the second sun turned into stars, the Tower of Babel was smashed, language was popularized and disenchanted...

And Wei Zhe was also deeply influenced by the equilibrium - Wei Zhe was born directly from the equilibrium, and the "professional system" was also tinkered with by Wei Zhe and Sha Shiji. The existence of the undead antivirus software such as Wild Hunt, which Wei Zhe contracted, is also to maintain the balance of the material world. Sha Shiji handed over the remnants of the Supreme Heaven to Wei Zhe...

“I may have an idea…”

Aiwass murmured softly.

"what?"

Professor Bud looked at Aiwass expectantly: "Tell me about it?"

Aiwass just shook his head.

He simply opened his mouth and asked everyone a question: "Which path do you think language should belong to?"

This question made everyone fall into deep thought.

"[Beautiful] right."

“Although I would like to say it is authoritarianism, authoritarianism should not have been born in this era.”

“Of course, language can only belong to the realm of the path of beauty.”

It didn't take long for people to give the answer, except for the "puppet" Cardinal Galatea.

……that's the truth.

As things stand, language can only belong to the path of "beauty".

However, the path is not the source of power.

If we follow the concept of "source" rather than "path", "language" should belong to the source of "civilization" - that is, the third path, the path of dedication of Sizhu.

But obviously, language and "dedication" have nothing to do with each other...

Aiwass realized the crux of the problem.

"Doll..."

He whispered to Cardinal Galatea, the follower of the Twin Mirrors, "What is the source of the path of beauty?"

The high-level divine art of Cardinal Galatea was contracted to the Twin Mirror. Just as the Lord of Scales and Feathers could hear everything that Aiwass heard at any time, this question itself was equivalent to asking the Twin Mirror itself.

——If Cardinal Galatea doesn’t know the answer to this question, then no one in this world knows it.

At this moment, Cardinal Galatea, who was as cold and emotionless as a puppet, suddenly broke into a gentle and bright smile.

She smiled lovely, as if the ice was melting.

"You realize it."

Cardinal Galatea said with a smile, his voice soft and light: "The name of the second source river is... [Difference].

“Everything is born out of differences [beauty] - because of differences, ‘comparison’ is born, and only after comparison, ‘beauty’ and ‘ugliness’ are born.

"The difference from the imperfect reality gave birth to innocence and fantasy, the difference from the usual words and deeds gave birth to dance and song. The difference from others gave birth to the self, the difference from the ideal gave birth to jealousy... and the thing that can infinitely compare the 'differences' is the twin mirror that reflects each other -"

"Cardinal Galatea" said this and suddenly became dazed for a moment.

Then she regained her cold expression and remained silent, as if she had not heard Aiwass's question at all.

That was the response given to Aiwass by Twin Mirror himself!

...Sure enough.

Aiwass looked at the magnificent ancient ruins and had an idea in his mind.

"If you subtract the power of creation from the miracle of civilization, all you get is a language that distinguishes people from each other. People are scattered all over the world, unable to understand each other—"

The power of the source river can not only be added, but also subtracted!
