Pastor's Tantra

"The remains of Samsara Tiansi..."

Aiwass murmured quietly.

No wonder, those people always think that they are divine entities, Tiansi fragments of Huan Tiansi...

Huan Tiansi is obviously not dead yet, how could there be fragments?

Now it's all right.

——What the Lord of Scale Feather said should be true.

Because until now, he still has a sense of hesitation and strangeness about the name of his previous life; it is indeed only now that he realizes that his memory has lost too many details.

Not only did he not remember the names of the people who were most important to him in his previous life...

Now that I think about it carefully, I can see that his memory impairment has always existed.

He remembered the names Dionysus and Selene and knew that they were gods from "Greek mythology". But there was more missing from his memory - he couldn't remember why they were called "Greek myths", and he didn't know what other gods were in them.

Maybe you still remember some things, such as "Uranus", "Gaia", "Hades"... but the rest have been forgotten almost, and the parts you remember are only bits and pieces. Small details.

…Is that because Huan Tiansi thought these were valuable memories, so he didn’t leave them to me when he cut himself off?

The existence of the "Disaster Dragon" suddenly appeared in Aiwass's mind.

As the dark self divided by the Silver Crown Dragon, He should be the crystallization of some remaining "power" and "transcendence" power that cannot be completely transformed into "authority". That is the existence similar to myself.

But the difference is that the Disaster Dragon was sealed at the bottom of the snow mountain by the Silver Crown Dragon, while Aiwass was thrown into the material world by Huantiansi.

However, another doubt arose in Aiwass's mind:

He remembered that Samsara Tiansi was a Tiansi from the path of balance... This was the forbidden knowledge taught by Moriarty.

If I am a fragment separated by Huan Tiansi, then I should be on the path of balance...

"You think too much."

The Lord of Scales and Feathers chuckled.

Before Aiwass could ask a question, he replied: "But I can't blame you, because you lack vital information."

"……What?"

Aiwass murmured.

"To this day, Huan Tiansi still possesses the power of the path of balance; not only does he possess it, but his power of balance is infinitely close to his power of transcendence. What he gives you is not the power of the path of balance... because When that happened, He lost his balance. What you endured was His overflowing transcendent power."

The Lord of Scales and Feathers said, pulling Aiwass forward.

He raised his hand and pointed to a fragmented sky in the sky: "Look over there."

Aiwass raised his head and looked over.

It was obviously just a weak point, but he happened to see the fragment pointed by the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

The next moment, the world around him was dyed and changed again——

Aiwass's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because he saw "himself".

…But that’s not me.

He saw himself naked from the waist up, walking in the sky.

His long platinum hair spreads to his knees, and his handsome face is tougher and more angular than Aiwass himself - that is the face of Aiwass, who is probably in his thirties. He looks thinner and stronger than the current Aiwass.

His body has streamlined muscles that are reminiscent of a snake, and there is a purple ∞-shaped symbol on his chest that is shining with light.

And his abdomen was filled with various complex and ancient runes, which spread all the way to his back.

And in the void behind his head, there was a sun ring formed by a stream of flames. The higher it goes up, the more golden-red it becomes, and the closer it gets to Aiwass's lower back, the more purple-red it becomes.

The ring keeps spinning...gold gradually turns to purple, and purple gradually turns to gold, in an endless cycle.

And "Aiwas" pointed to the sky with one finger and the ground with the other.

In an instant, the sky suddenly cracked.

Half turned into golden red, half turned into purple red.

Then the sky gradually flowed and twisted, turning into a huge Tai Chi pattern. The center of the vortex is just above the fingertips of "Aiwass"'s right hand pointing to the sky.

The time of the entire world is gradually accelerated. From dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn, time accelerates rapidly. Eight days of reincarnation have passed in the blink of an eye——

"Okay, that's enough."

At this moment, the Lord of Scale Feather waved his hand, and the whole world collapsed and shattered.

"That is the 'ring of coherence', the master of the path of transformation. 'Transmutation' represents the eternal change of all things... What goes up will eventually go down, and what goes down will eventually go up. Everything changes and flows, everything changes. Nothing is easy but not easy.”

The faceless man in a suit said leisurely: "That is the future of 'if Huan Tiansi devours you'. I don't want such a future to come."

"...He wants my body because he wants to be promoted to the 'Ring of the End'?"

Aiwass hesitated: "But as far as I know, even if He can't get it..."

"Yes, it's possible without you. But it will be incomplete in the end. Even if He didn't eat you when he became the Pillar God, he will eat you again after he becomes the 'Ring of the End' Go back - you are just a part that has been temporarily separated. It must be reunited with you to complete the complete cycle from the past to the future."

Having said this, the Lord of Scale Feathers looked at Aiwass and suddenly asked: "Do you know Arthur?"

"...The predecessor of Silver Crown Dragon?"

"Who gave Arthur the ritual?"

When He said this, Aiwass understood.

Aiwass turned back to look at the Lord of Scale Feathers: "Is the Silver Crowned Dragon... the experimental subject of Huan Tiansi?"

"Yes, but it was a failed experiment. Arthur is the Silver Crowned Dragon, but he is not a complete 'Crown Tiansi'. The reincarnation of Tiansi in the lower world has such an impact... Huantiansi's reason Yes, this is to prevent the Supreme Heaven from alerting him. Of course, He is also right. If Mian Tiansi goes directly to the lower world, the Supreme Heaven will definitely kill Arthur completely while he is still weak.

"But is there a possibility that compared to the 'white dragon on the ground'... the 'red dragon in the sky' is an existence closer to the essence of Mian Tiansi? And now, the name of that red dragon is the Disaster Demonic Dragon .”

The Lord of Scales and Feathers smiled, patted Aiwass on the shoulder, and whispered: "Just like when Arthur's investor was Sizhu... I chose you.

"I became friends with him back then precisely because I saw this possibility in him. But now, he has gradually become boring...so, I will still choose you.

"You are like a lamb being tended by a shepherd, poor Aiwass. All the shepherd's love for the lamb is ultimately for the sweet food... But I think that is a pity.

"I advise you to escape from this sheepfold and run into the forest - bravely face the predators and die under the kiss of the beast."

With these words of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, Aiwass couldn't even tell whether he was speaking seriously or in a weird way.

Escape from the safety of the sheepfold.

Run into the dark forest.

Losing the inexhaustible food and grass in exchange for the predation of wild beasts... Even if it is to escape the fate of death, but losing the protection of the shepherd, the weak and sweet lamb will only face death faster.

What is the difference in the outcome between being eaten by a man and being eaten by a wolf?

At least the former can still have enough to eat all day long.

perhaps……

Maybe he could escape his fate the day before he was finally eaten.

A thought like this flashed through Aiwass's mind.

But he quickly brushed it off and became determined.

"……what should I do?"

Aiwass asked the Lord of Scale Feathers: "I don't want to become food...but I don't want to die either."

The Lord of Scales and Feathers let out a pleasant chuckle: "Greedy fox..."

He leaned down and whispered in Aiwass's ear: "Then let me tell you a hint - you yourself are the answer."

"...Can't you be more detailed?"

Aiwass was a little helpless: "I am the answer, so what is the question? What I am asking is, how should I do it?"

He just said before that the Lord of Scale Feathers doesn't look like a Riddler.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that this is the real Riddler - riddles to the point that Aiwass can't even understand.

"That's a matter between you and Huan Tiansi, I can't interfere. You can't do anything now, because you are just a lamb that smells like milk and has no ability to protect yourself. All I can do is to You’re adding more value here…tell your master how much he covets you.”

The Lord of Scales and Feathers said cheerfully: "As for your contract, I have accepted it here. Just as I said - I have already given the answer before, and you finally found the problem today. Before that , when we first met, I already agreed to your request today.

"But if you want to complete high-level magic, you still need to be tested; giving you power through rituals is the most reasonable method. The hourglass guy has a lot to do, so let's follow the rules and follow the process."

"...What is the test?" Aiwass was a little worried.

But the Lord of Scales and Feathers just patted Aiwass on the head: "Don't worry, it's very simple for you. A promotion ceremony... I will personally preside over it."
