Pastor's Tantra

"Uh-huh..."

Zhu Tang groaned and covered his eyes with his hands.

In the face of such surging power, it was useless for him to even cover his eyes!

Even though he didn't open his eyes, the strong transcendent power impacted his soul. The strong impulse that could shake a person's heart turned into material damage on him - two tears of blood slowly dripped from his closed eyes.

This is the eighth level, which corresponds to the number of transcendence.

Those winged demons surged forward, and their infinite power of transcendence turned into a deep purple and almost black wind, making everyone even a little unsteady.

Nearly endless demons—surging forward with an aura that covers the sky and the sun. It was like seeing a swarm of bats after going deep into a cave, except that these bats were slightly larger and more numerous.

Aiwass has a wealth of knowledge about demons.

Although it was still far away... but with a quick glance, he could roughly identify the types of these demons.

Whip Demon, Beholder Demon, Shadow Demon, Abnormal Limb Demon, Trapper Demon, Ice Demon, Blood Demon, Blade Demon...

——The number is at least more than five hundred!

The weakest ones started at the fourth energy level, and there were a few strong ones at the fifth energy level here and there.

The only good news is probably that Aiwass did not see high-level phantoms such as the Balrog, Winter Demon, and Night Demon, which are usually higher than the world's limit. After all, before there was a professional system like Demon Incarnation that could directly hatch great demons, there would not be such great demons below the fifth energy level in the material world.

These winged demons are all descended from the souls of those winged people who sacrificed themselves!

They are imprisoned here, and the frozen time is preserved to this day... and they have not swallowed anyone's soul.

Sine's pupils were dancing with electric light, and he began to chant spells. The demons seemed to become even crazier when they saw this lightning.

Monk Mu already stood silently at the front of the team, like a high wall;

The kitten entered stealth, and she quickly set up a trap on the ground in front of her;

The dream-monk's body fell backwards and fell into a deep sleep, while the body of his soul shining like gold stepped out;

After Zhu Tang calmed down a little, he began to take out some chess pieces from his ritual bag and began to set up the formation;

The small butterfly on Aiwass's shoulder reappeared as a flame butterfly, blocking Aiwass' front...

Even Master Insect Amber became serious, holding the amber beads on his left wrist and ready to tear them apart at any time.

Aiwass is still praying and blessing them. One after another, brilliance flashed among the crowd.

Light shields appeared and dissipated from their bodies, followed by the logo of a sharp blade, followed by a pair of wings. Then there is the transparent white mesh light wall, and finally everyone enters a blurry semi-invisible state...

But Cardinal Galatea only looked at her former colleagues, her eyes that had been reduced to puppets looked heavy and sad.

"In order to lift the King of Winged Ones to the heights of the dream world, for the continuation of the race and the future of the world, they sacrificed their lives and dedicated their souls. If the King of Winged Ones can become the God above gods, These souls will all become his apostles..."

She obviously did not intend to take action against them, but continued to maintain the illusion with Aiwass.

Aiwass also remembered the words of the Lord of Scales and Feathers:

[...'Transformation' represents the constant nature of the eternal change of all things... What goes up will eventually go down, and what goes down will eventually go up. All things change and flow, and nothing is easy. 】

What goes up will go down, and what goes down will go up.

"...Is this, 'What goes up, must come down'?"

Aiwass murmured softly.

Cardinal Galatea nodded: "After the 'four elements' of the path of wisdom are stripped away, the 'seven imprints' of the path of strength alone are not enough to allow those souls to enter the spiral and cyclic path of ascent.

"At the same time, when the purpose is hybridized and no longer for the continuation of civilization, the sacrifices of these souls seem too light compared to transcending destiny. The scales tilt to one side, and the voices of those praying in the state of souls cannot be heard. In the ears of the Winged King, they can no longer provide the power of devotion.

"Without the power of dedication to stabilize the mind, and no longer transcending for others, the desire for transcendence based on strength will expand infinitely. This triggers a chain reaction - an out-of-control power to change, coupled with a lack of truth and self-sacrifice The reduction of will...the most important thing is the extreme pursuit and worship of 'power'. When all these things are mixed together, it becomes a sin that causes people to fall.

"Then He also fell from the heights. From this came the marks of the seven deadly sins."

The root of the sin of lust comes from people's instinctive desire for the continuation of civilization and the potential impulse for creation. When people ignore the necessity that the purpose of creation is "civilization", out-of-control desires become lust.

The sin of gluttony results from overindulging in and squandering what is necessary to bring pleasure. This is the instinctive pursuit of power and the path of "food" - people are eager to become strong and enjoy more resources. Until he lost the desire to "consecrate", so he took away the food that should belong to others and squandered the violence of "food" wantonly.

The sin of greed is the desire to have more than is needed. The differences between people gave birth to civilization, but if the purpose of transcendence is no longer to "continue civilization", it becomes robbery. That is transcendence without devotion.

The sin of laziness comes from an abdication of responsibility. For ancient people, everyone had their own work to do, and any time wasted by anyone meant more work for others. Under the irreversible trend of transcendence, resisting transcendence by resisting dedication has itself become a major sin.

The sin of rage is due to the lack of the power of the source of wisdom - violence that has lost the truth, power that is not controlled by wisdom, coupled with power that is not bound by dedication and is not beneficial to civilization, becomes dangerous rage. become the cause of hurting each other.

The sin of jealousy also comes from differences in civilization. Greed aims to have more for oneself, while jealousy wants others to possess less; greed tends to material possessions, while jealousy tends to be more than material. This is also transcendence unaffected by devotion.

Coupled with the ultimate arrogance - the ancients claimed to be gods and intended to transcend the Pillar God to control the source river and create a great existence above the Pillar God. This is the prototype of the sin of arrogance. However, their goal is ultimately for the "continuation of civilization" and their intention to transcend the apocalypse that hinders this concept cannot be called a crime.

Until it loses its power of devotion, its purpose is no longer selfless. It becomes the most fundamental sin - because it is a "mistake" in itself, but when it is motivated by devotion, devotion temporarily obscures this mistake.

They do not all come from transcendence, but they all come from the loss of devotion.

"But the original plan for the Tower of Babel didn't require dedication at all..."

Aiwass realized the truth of everything and the birth of the devil: "Because of Huan Tiansi's conspiracy, he added the power of dedication and transcendence to the ceremony, which led to the reduction of the error tolerance of the ceremony and the distortion... Eh. ,etc?"

……ceremony?

"Actually, what Huan Tiansi said here is right... we really need to join the path of dedication."

Cardinal Galatea tilted his head slightly and looked at Aiwass with a complicated expression, as if looking at the snake that had seduced people in the past: "Because we ignored one thing at the time - this thing itself is in line with the principle of transcendence, so It has automatically become a ritual that already contains transcendent power. Even if we do not join in the ritual of dedication, it will eventually fail, and the ritual will completely collapse the moment it starts due to complete imbalance.

"Because Huan Tiansi's opinion was correct, the wise among us believed in the 'snake'. Because he tried his best to save us...but then used us as a tool.

"He allowed the King of Winged Ones to successfully ascend to the dream world, but gave him the ironic name of 'Fallen'. The pure soul that once 'dedicated' itself was not destroyed by the devastating failure. However, he gave him the ironic name of 'Fallen'. Under the influence of the fallen power of the Seven Deadly Sins, he transformed into a new type of phantom full of power but lacking in wisdom...

"——Because his path has deviated from the right track and degenerated into evil, the Fallen Heaven Division calls him a devil."

That's why Huantiansi's pastoral care method is particularly effective against demons.

Therefore, demons are always eager for the souls of priests who are willing to give themselves.

That's why Huantian Si always wants to use the ring of coherence to pull Fallen Sky Si to the ground.

Therefore, the mortal sin scholars belonging to the Huantian Division and the demon incarnation of the Fallen Division can transform into each other.

Therefore, the "Endless Knot" can transform dark demons into elemental creatures...

...So even though Fallen Sky Si sent demons to plunder souls from the Nine Source Rivers to arm themselves, Si Zhu and Sha Shiji did not take action against him; although Fallen Sky Si once rebelled against Snake Father, Snake Father did not kill him either.

Because He was—at least once, indeed—an innocent man.

But this Huantiansi... his mental state doesn't seem to be stable either.

Compared with the Ai Shiping Ai Wass saw this week, this Huan Tiansi looks colder, more rational, and ruthless. In order to achieve his goal, he can sacrifice everything.

Huan Tiansi did such a thing, but he was still a candidate for the Pillar God. This incident itself was not stopped by other Pillar Gods who were worried about the end... This shows that his actions were acquiesced or even approved by the other Pillar Gods. .

But why did He want to stop the Babel Tower's plan?

Did He already know that this plan could not be completed?

...Or does He know that even if this plan is completed, it will not help in the end?

Or...

Among the eight failed projects in the past, has Tower of Babel ever succeeded? But the plan ultimately proved ineffective against Doomsday?

Only this answer can explain why He was so ruthless and cruel and decisive——

——Because this is a "necessary evil" and "premature death"!

Aiwass's body trembled.

It's not that I'm drowsy out of fear, but that I've touched the truth deeper and deeper.

The deeper he understood, the less awe he had towards Huan Tiansi.

He will finally escape from the fate of the chess piece - raise his head and give that guy a hard punch!

When Aiwass was in a trance due to thinking, the raging demonic tide had already arrived!
