Pastor's Tantra

When Aiwas and Cardinal Galatea arrived at the Spirit Tower, they saw that it was already surrounded by a dim barrier.

This should be the preservation technique set up by the lich Grunewald - it seems that Grunewald is indeed not as good as Master Chongbo in terms of the level of preservation.

However, with the support of the spine of Lingbo Tiansi, the solidity of this barrier has exceeded the energy limit of the sixth energy level in the material world.

Without the help of the Fallen Angel, it is still quite difficult for the upper demons to defeat this barrier.

It is not that it cannot be opened... but it will be very laborious.

After all, the path of transcendence is a path that is good at transcending common sense and breaking through limits.

If the demons start the ritual, it will take at most one week to break this insurmountable perfect barrier.

...However, considering that there are not many people inside and they have taken this passive attitude of self-closure, the demon army is too lazy to attack the Spirit Tower - they just bypass it, after all, there are still many things outside.

This is like a multiple-choice question that is as difficult as the last big question - obviously, there is no need to fight here until the questions behind are answered.

- If the ruthless people inside are forced into a dead end, everyone might die after coming out.

Therefore, the psychic tower was saved by accident in the first wave of the most vicious demon tide.

However, it is obvious that the defense method of the psychic tower is not just to set up a barrier and wait for death... but someone is always monitoring the outside world.

Shortly after Aiwas arrived, the current vice president Adolf hurried out, opened a crack and brought Aiwas and Cardinal Galatea in.

After meeting with "Principal" Matthias Grunewald, Aiwas explained the relevant information about the Fallen Department, the Demon Legion and the Tail Ring Ceremony, as well as the several paths they could choose, to the old lich clearly.

This ordinary old skeleton covered with black rags floated in the air, tilting his head slightly.

There was a dim flame flashing in his eye sockets, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Grunewald's hollow, slow and low voice sounded from the void: "What about the Ziggurat?"

"We can only put it here for now."

Evans shook his head: "Anyway, it would be too ostentatious to fly away directly in the Ziggurat. If it attracts the attention of the Fallen Angels, everyone will die."

"First...?"

The lich asked with interest: "What else..."

"Yes. This is not an escape, but a clearing."

Evans nodded and directly stated his future plan: "We will come back eventually.

"I will defeat the Fallen Angels and take back this land. When that time comes, I can continue to take over the Ziggurat. Whether you want to continue to fly to Avalon, or just stay here, it's all fine - I am also familiar with the foothold in Avalon. That is the place engraved by the dusk, where the Wild Hunt of Heleqin is located... and it is also near the passage to the fairy kingdom..."

"...Defeat the Fallen Angel... Hehe..."

Hearing this, the old lich laughed.

It was not a mockery - it was closer to a kind of relief and emotion. It was like the nostalgic and approving look of an old man when he saw his child set a wish to "become a scientist in the future."

This old lich, who has lived for a long time, obviously did not have much respect and fear for the Fallen Angel.

The Angel? There is nothing that cannot be killed.

He did not question Aiwass "How is this possible?" or simply asked "What are you going to do?"

It was as if he believed from the beginning that the high and mighty Fallen Angel could be defeated...

This old lich, who had no staff or wizard ring, looked as ordinary as a skeleton specimen, and seemed to have no oppression and momentum, asked Aiwass a question that no one else had ever asked.

He said--

"Are you going to be an Angel in the future, Aiwass? What I mean is, after you can become a Tianshi and you have done everything you want to do... do you plan to become a Tianshi or a Pillar God?"

This question really made Aiwas stunned for a moment.

-Because he had never thought about this question before.

Because of the leakage of the Tail Ring Ceremony, Tianshi will be pulled down one by one. Choosing to become a Tianshi at this time is as dangerous as being pulled into the "assessment group" by HR.

From now on, the survival of Tianshi no longer depends on his own ability, but on "whether someone wants to drag you down." The boiling power of transcendence brought by the snake father's attempt to break through the amber wall will cause Tianshi to appear one after another and be dragged down one after another, thus Achieve a relative balance in the dream world.

In addition, there are many crises in this world - even if the danger of Shadow Tiansi coming to Avalon is solved in advance by Aiwas, the Disaster Dragon is still a threshold.

That is the old self cut out by the Silver Crown Dragon... or, that is the "self" defeated by the Silver Crown Dragon. The relationship between the Disaster Dragon and the Silver Crown Dragon is like the relationship between Huan Tiansi and the Shepherd or Aiwas.

But there is one difference - the Silver Crown Dragon did not accept the old self, but did not destroy the old self. He just sealed the old self under the iceberg, sealing and suppressing Him for a long time.

And as long as it is sealed, it will leak. One day, the power of disaster will penetrate into the material world... Especially when the dream world is torn apart by the Tail Ring Ritual, it is even more so.

When this crisis is over, there will be the arrival of Yuan Tiansi. Then there are the layout and conspiracy of the adoptive father James Moriarty, and the mysterious grandfather Jacob of Aiwas... And at the very end, there is the mysterious crisis of the end of the world.

Aiwas solved many problems, but there are more problems in front of him.

He is like a business backbone - after finally completing a project, there is a second project pushed in, and VIP customers who don’t know how far they are in line...

But if all the difficulties are solved, what will Aiwas do next?

After his work is completed, after he "gets off work", what does he want to do?

After a brief confusion and hesitation, Aiwas was silent for a moment.

At that moment, Aiwas suddenly thought of Huan Tiansi's dream - Huan Tiansi's answer was that He wanted to go home.

However, this generation of Huan Tiansi is no longer the original savior "Ai Shiping". He has cut off his self too many times, and cut off his dedication.

Now, as Huan Tiansi, he is just the tail of the snake cultivated by Huan Tiansi in a certain reincarnation in the past.

- In every sense, he is no different from Aihuasi.

They are all natives of this world - implanted with the original memories of the travelers treasured by Ai Shiping, thinking that they have just traveled to this world. Then they are excited to explore, grow, discover their own destiny, transcend destiny... and then rebel against their higher selves.

Obviously they are all natives...

But Huan Tiansi wants to go home.

... Where does he have a home?

The earth is just Ai Shiping's home.

And he is not Ai Shiping at all - the home that truly belongs to "him" only exists in a few hundred years of a certain reincarnation in the past.

When his reincarnation of that round is restarted, he will never, ever be able to go home!

Perhaps he had gone crazy as early as that time... When he realized that he could not stop the end of the world and could only watch the reincarnation restart, the last thing he could do... was to complete Ai Shiping's original ritual.

- Complete the nine reincarnations.

Now the reincarnation has reached the last round.

Regardless of whether the noble ritual of the nine reincarnations can break through the end of the world, the world can only continue to operate like this. In other words, by then... the world is destined to enter the future two thousand years later.

As seen in the promotion ceremony, this world will eventually return to the "modern times" that Aiwas longed for - or "the future". Back to the modern times with computers, the Internet, and ice-cold cola.

And by then...

- Will Aiwas still choose to become a celestial priest?

Say goodbye to the material world, become a high god, and enter the eternal dream world.

Overlooking the people in the material world to get happiness, guarding people from dreams... or in the material world, enjoying infinite happiness?

"...I don't know."

Ewass was silent for a long time, but still answered honestly: "Because from the beginning, I felt that becoming a celestial minister was not a good way out. It's fine after death... If I can live, I think I would rather live and enjoy life."

"What if," the old lich asked, "this world needs you to become a celestial minister, are you willing to give up everything in the material world?"

"Of course."

Ewass said without hesitation: "At most, it's just one death. I'm ready to die, so how can I be afraid of entering the dream world in advance? These two things are the same... But why do you ask this?"

"Someone asked me to get an answer from you."

The old lich Grunewald answered calmly.

"Have you got it now?"

"Not yet - these questions are just foreshadowing, there is only one real question:

"If you become a celestial minister, what do you think your honorable name will be?"

"...Do I need to think about it seriously? "Aivas asked cautiously.

This question was too strange.

He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it, or it foreshadowed something.

"No, please just say the name that you thought of first."

Grunewald patiently asked: "No need to think... What is the name that first comes to your mind?"

"... [Yao]... Right, Yao Tiansi. Bright, shining, radiant... It must be brighter than all the surrounding light, brighter than the sunlight that people are used to, so that people can see the shining light. I... want people's attention. I want people to see that I am shining..."

Aivas thought about it, and according to Grunewald's words, he answered whatever he thought of.

He hesitated a little and asked back: "Is this answer okay?"

"Naturally - enough."

Grunewald answered neatly: "I have no other questions. I will go to Avalon with you. You don't have to carry the inheritance of the Spirit Tower. With me, you have the entire inheritance of this tower.

"When you plan to fight against the Fallen Angels, I will also lend you a hand."

"...If it's convenient, can I ask," Aiwass became more and more curious, "Who asked you to ask me this question?"

"It's not convenient, Your Holiness."

The old lich shook his head, but still gave some information: "You know too many gods. If I tell you too much, you will probably know who asked the question. I swore to keep it a secret, so please forgive me."

The implication is that this question was asked by a certain god.

——It's really strange. How could he bypass the Pope and ask questions through a middleman?

Aiwas shook his head.

——Look, this is too distant, isn't it?
