Pastor's Tantra

The conversation between the Snake Father and the Lord of Scales and Feathers was not hidden from outsiders.

Judging from the reactions of the cardinals, they had obviously known about this future. Perhaps it was because of Loki's prophecy, or perhaps it was because the Pillar God who had contracted with them had already mentioned this matter.

It is also possible that no one or God told them - after all, it was a future that could be deduced by logic alone.

Not all paths have an end, and there are also paths that will last forever. However, transcendence is not one of them.

——The Snake Father will eventually reach the end. And the day He has set is approaching.

This is a road that has been determined from the beginning.

The transcendent will never retreat, never stop - and because of this, the transcendent will never have peace.

But this kind of infinite progress day after day is a kind of happiness for the transcendent. No matter where you go, you can see a new goal when you look up.

——But "transcendence" must have a goal to be established.

Therefore, if we look to the infinitely distant future, the Transcendants will eventually face an inevitable fate.

That is, one day, they will go from "Transcendants" to "The Strongest".

And when they are beyond transcendence, it means that they have betrayed the Tao. Just like the rebels become monarchs, they are no longer the rebels before...

It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it. This is probably the direction of this kind of story.

"[The pillars of this world can never betray the Tao]," the Lord of Scales and Feathers looked at the Snake Father with the body of Aiwas, his emerald green pupils were deep and his voice was low, "This is what you said to me when I became the Pillar God.

"Now, I am still the God of Adaptation. And you..."

"——I will never retreat. "

Snake Father interrupted the Lord of Scales and Feathers and said in a clear manner.

"The Pillar Gods of this world are all slaves of the old me..."

Hengwo suddenly spoke and said this.

In an instant, the room fell into a brief silence.

"Evans" looked at Hengwo and nodded slightly.

Then he looked at "Cardinal Cyril" again, broke the silence and asked directly: "When is the date set?"

"August 1st, it has been confirmed."

Snake Father said without hesitation: "On that day, I will complete the final transcendence-crossing the Twilight Wall.

"Whether I can survive or not, and no matter what is on the other side of the wall... I will no longer continue to exist as a Pillar God. Whether I will die, leave, be reborn, or ascend to the top... I will leave the River of Change.

"This world will face the 'eight days without transcendence'. When August 8th, the new Pillar God will ascend. "

... August 1st.

Aiwas heard this date quietly.

He suddenly reacted.

In another world line, the time when Huan Tiansi ascended was exactly August 3rd!

If the death of the Snake Father was brought forward, then according to this time...it might not be Huan Tiansi who came to power through "patricide", but the Snake Father reached the end of the path.

When the Gengyi River is vacant of the Pillar God, Huan Tiansi will reign over it.

If nothing unexpected happens...it will probably be the day of the showdown between Aiwas and Huan Tiansi.

...Is there less than half a year left?

Such a thought floated in Aiwas' mind, and for a moment he actually lacked a sense of reality and tension.

"It's not that there is no way..."

At this time, the Lord of Scales and Feathers said leisurely: "You can also try to modify your own path narrative like me."

"Surpassing and adapting are different paths, Kunpeng."

The Snake Father refused without hesitation: "I am destined to practice the path of transcendence, and I will never look back until the end. If you try to transcend this inevitable fate, it is equivalent to betraying the path of transcendence from another level. This is the 'paradox of transcendence', an infinite wall without positive or negative. "

He stared at "Evans" with his purple-red snake eyes: "Just live with my scales and feathers. You... are also a continuation of me."

"--However, 'easier' and 'survival' do not conflict."

"Evans" crossed his arms and shook his head slightly, saying: "The way of adaptation also flows with the blood of transcendence-just like the way of authority.

"I will not forget-in the past, predicting the future was the ability to transcend the way. Anchoring the future and then transcending it...isn't this what you did before?"

When he heard the secret suddenly revealed by his boss, Aiwas was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized it.

No wonder...

The Lord of Scales and Feathers has a title, "The Scale-Stealing God of Feathers", and the church's official name for Him is even "The Scale-Adorned God of Feathers", so where did his "scales and feathers" come from, so that it can be called the Pillar God?

As expected - it is the father of all snakes as the "Feathered Serpent"!

The Lord of Scales and Feathers once stole the precognitive ability of the Snake Father, just like the "Spider's Silk Sequel" stole Loki's Supreme God Blood.

It is precisely because the path of adaptation is mixed with a part of the path of transcendence that today's adaptors are tainted with the characteristics of transcendence - whether it is an assassin who assassinates the strong, the rich and the officials, or a doctor who uses poison to defeat the strong with the weak and medicine to defeat death, and a hunter who fights against the "magic beasts" that are stronger than intellectual creatures and are rampant, they all have a little taste of transcendence.

——Survival of the fittest.

The essence of adaptation is "evolution"! And evolution is undoubtedly "transcendence for survival"...

...This so-called every sip and every bite is a constant.

The act of "wearing scales and feathers" in the past has now become the starting point of a major deviation from the path of adaptation...

"——This is not surprising, Aiwas."

When Aiwas thought of this, he suddenly felt that the space around him became dim again.

In the dark space, a chair appeared in front of him. The Lord of Scales and Feathers crossed his knees and crossed his fingers, and the faceless man sat on the chair not very properly.

There was no light source around, but the Lord of Scales and Feathers could be seen clearly.

"——This scene looks like a villain soldier reporting to the boss in the backlight."

Evans couldn't help complaining.

But the Lord of Scales and Feathers just laughed: "It's not much different.

"You guessed right... The reason why the path of adaptation deviated greatly is because the path of transcendence was mixed in the path of adaptation. Because of this, the path of adaptation will be more stable when there are strong enemies.

"And now, without external enemies, the path of adaptation is easy to deviate.

"But this situation is not unexpected. It's better to say that this is very reasonable-even inevitable.

"Think about your own situation. The influence of the path on the material world is long-lasting and far-reaching. The later pillar gods will eventually be affected by the first ones. The God of Authority also has a transcendent side and more powerful traces; the God of Love yearns for the ultimate beauty and also has the desire of beasts.

"Before I finally ascended to godhood, I was also a believer of the Snake Father and even his apostle. "

The Lord of Scales and Feathers said slowly: "I stole from him the scales called 'Eight Trigrams' and the feathers called 'Rain of Hunting'. The former is the ability to predict, and the latter is the essence of evolution. "

"...Why do you tell me this?"

Hearing this essential secret related to the succession of the Pillar Gods, Aiwass had no spare energy to be curious and amazed, but instead he was alert and became extremely vigilant.

"That's naturally because you have some relationship with the Snake Father."

The Lord of Scales and Feathers smiled and said: "Huan Tiansi is the son of the Snake Father, and you are the half of his body cut by Huan Tiansi. You can be regarded as a part of him, or as his younger brother, or as his offspring. But no matter what, you have some connection with the Snake Father at the level of 'fate'.

"-Do you know why there are always various low-probability events around you?"
