Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 885 Overlapping Space and Time

"【difference】……"

Baike murmured softly, as if he had thought of something and fell into deep thought.

Rurouni also understood: "So, there is this kind of mind-reading facility as a means of defense? Because there are differences between people, and it can transform these differences into contradictions..."

"No, you got it wrong. This is not a means of defense, but a tool for communication."

Zhengsine shook his head, his expression serious: "A communication tool that is countless times more advanced than language..."

“But precisely because it is advanced enough,” Zhu Tang sighed with his eyes closed, “it is also impossible for people to understand it.”

"You have to take it back too!"

Professor Budd was very determined: "This is a great archaeological discovery!"

This is true.

Aiwass nodded.

It was by relying on this "device" that could resonate with the soul that the ancients created the glorious ancient civilization.

Although people today have become accustomed to "differences", they may not be able to accept this technology that allows them to merge and complete each other again... In fact, in Aiwas's opinion, people may even feel terrified by it.

It is a fear of secrets being eliminated and the self being dissolved - everyone has an instinctive desire to "show off oneself". This is the instinct of mortals born from "difference". If this instinct is combined with human "creation" and "reproduction", a prosperous civilization will be born.

But if you put it this way...

Such a harsh and aggressive sun does not seem like the behavior of a dedicated person.

Xi Tiansi's parents are both Hengwo. As a pure-blooded creature of the Path of Love, He became a Tiansi of the Path of Devotion out of thin air - that means He must have some great achievements that can overwhelm the impulse of this Path. And as the son of the Pillar God, He must also be entangled in the natural sin... This is the natural sin that comes with the Source River of Creation.

Power cannot create new power out of thin air, otherwise it would mean approaching infinity - that is exactly the possibility that the principle of "creation" will destroy the world.

But the world always needs a sun...

Suddenly, Aiwas thought of the secret of the [Sunfire] technique.

That was the ancient inheritance he had received from the Morning Crow Secret Sutra. Although it was called Dawn Fire, it was a skill to ignite one's own vitality and produce flames.

Under Sha Shiji's persuasion, Xi Tiansi set himself on fire!

All life created by the River of Creation has the characteristic of being afraid of fire. Whether it is the beasts of the Path of Beasts or the people of the Path of Love. However, the demons of the Path of Transcendence, the giants of the Path of Power, the undead of the Path of Dusk, and other races do not have this extremely unified characteristic.

As the purest creation, He should also be most afraid of fire.

But Xi Tianshi set himself on fire - in order to give the world a sun, he burned his own vitality and used the fire he feared the most to illuminate the world. With the sun, there will be a new civilization... This action can indeed be upgraded to an apostle of the path of dedication or even a Tianshi.

After all, when the Pillar God is in power, even if the Celestial Master has a different understanding of the source river, he must follow the path of the Pillar God. Just like the Fallen Celestial Master's path of depravity, it can only be interpreted as "downward transcendence"; Winter Celestial Master and Amber Celestial Master also have the characteristics of the dusk path tending to be still.

If that is the case, then the Second Sun may not necessarily belong to the path of dedication!
On the contrary, the stars——

When the sand clock had not yet reached the point of connecting the earth to the sky, were there stars in the sky?
Thinking of this, Aiwass stopped everyone from arguing and discussing the device temporarily named "Integrated Speech Device". He pulled the wanderer aside and asked, "Do you know astrology?"

"Learn something, Mr. Pope."

The wanderer replied half proudly and half cautiously: "But it may not be very accurate."

As a "survival expert", relying on instinct to survive... Drifter must know something about this. But compared to professional prophets - and the "Fool" as an advanced profession of prophets, or traditional predictive professions such as astrologers and astrologers, his predictive ability is definitely not that strong.

If he were outside, Drifter would definitely brag about how accurate his predictions and fortune-telling are.

But in front of these top players from all over the world, he became humble.

...Although this archbishop with antlers looked quite unfamiliar, and was not any of the cardinals or popes he knew, he had such healing abilities and such extensive knowledge, and he could tell at a glance that he was a big shot. If he made a wrong prediction in front of him, he would not only lose face, but he might even lose his life - he had this intuition.

“It’s not anything complicated.”

Aiwass shook his head. "Can you help me make a copy of the positions of the stars?"

“…Oh, no problem then.”

Rurouni heaved a sigh of relief: "It just takes a while... Is that okay?"

The second half of his words were addressed to his boss, "Master Amber".

Chongbo nodded: "This ruins is still stable, we can stay here for a long time. Just prepare... It's a good opportunity to rest here."

This is just the basics of astrology.

Just like a priest's prayer or a spell caster's ritual array. After all, you can't see the stars during the day or on cloudy days, which is like being banned for astrologers who rely on the stars to see the secrets of the sky. So astrologers have another technique, which is to show the current position of the stars to the surroundings.

——This is the ability that Aiwass used to help Sherlock change his job.

He was able to use it in the first place because astrology itself was considered a transcendental path in ancient times.

That was part of the Lord of Scales and Feathers' "stealing scales and feathers" - He was once the apostle of the Snake Father until He stole the scales called "the Yao of the Eight Trigrams" from the Snake Father. It is the embodiment of the authority of foreknowledge.

While waiting for the star map to appear, Aiwass made up his mind.

"Everyone, someone has to take the device away or shut it down."

Aiwass spoke up and said loudly, "We met by chance, and we all have our own secrets. No one wants their secrets to be known by others, so everyone uses code names. That is to hide their own names. If you don't even want others to know your name, let alone the secrets in your heart.

"But if we don't solve this problem, we will be stuck here. Of course, we may be able to remotely destroy the device - the device whose size, scale, shape and location are unknown - using magic or rituals. But that is undoubtedly a waste, a blasphemy against ancient civilization, and a destruction of history.

"So I plan to go in and search alone while everyone is sorting out their affairs here."

"——Take me with you."

Suddenly, Cardinal Galatea spoke.

Aiwass was a little surprised: "You are not afraid..."

Will your secret be exposed?
As the cardinal of the Theocracy, Cardinal Galatea lived the longest among all the cardinals. If he leaked even a little secret, it would be more than just social death.

Cardinal Galatea just shook his head and did not reply.

...That means, maybe you are not afraid?
So Aiwass could only nod in agreement.

At this moment, Sine suddenly threw something to Aiwass.

It was a strange rune wristband.

The moment he got it, data suddenly appeared in front of Aiwas' eyes:

【All Worlds·Omniscient Hand】

[Superb Equipment (Light Purple)]

[Armor - Gloves]

[Supernatural characteristic: Touch of Omniscience (1) (Triggered only by the Path of Wisdom)]

[Spell: Whisper of the World/Announcement of the World (four times a day)] [Required: Wind 1]

[“——Its greatest significance is probably the free loudspeaker four times a day.”]

The moment he got it, Aiwass looked at Sine with some surprise.

This is a very famous set of scattered parts for mages - the effect of the All-Knowing Touch is very useful, and it is also called "spell counterattack". As long as you also master the spell used by the enemy, there is about a 10% chance that this spell will be invalidated and stored in the gloves when it hits you. Then you can cast this spell instantly without chanting, just providing mana. After the spell is used, the All-Knowing Touch can store another spell.

It can’t be said that this ability is useless...it can sometimes turn defeat into victory.

But the real reason for its fame is that it has four free loudspeakers every day. Therefore, this thing is also called the "businessman's hand". Businessmen always need to buy one of these things to make calls. A little bit every day can save a lot of money.

"This was given to me by my teacher before I left."

Sine said seriously, "It has a spell called 'Whisper of the World' cast on it. Even if you are teleported to another place, as long as you are still in the material world, you can contact us at any time. You won't get lost."

"Why don't you give me this good thing?"

The wanderer who was writing and drawing on the wall said dissatisfiedly: "How are you going to explore the way without me?"

The old wizard with white beard didn't even look at Rurouni, but said seriously: "You are the absolute core of our team... Please protect yourself."

"I will, thanks."

Aiwass nodded, put the wristband on his hand, and added: "I will return it to you when I come back."

This thing really doesn't mean much to Aiwass, and its value is not very great either - but as a gift from Teacher Sine, Aiwass is determined not to let it be lost or damaged.

Then, Aiwass walked forward with Cardinal Galatea.

And his voice also resounded throughout the world:
[Eh…Why is Cardinal Galatea silent? How did she block out her thoughts? ]

Just the first sentence was enough to shock everyone.

--What?
That's a cardinal?!

Then, then... Mr. "Pope", could it be that -

[Eh? Really no sound? Is your mind blank? Let me try... Sherlock's occupation is... Holy Tree No. 1 is really delicious... Mithraism...]

When Aiwass tried hard to block out the thoughts in his mind, countless distracting thoughts became clearer.

[Tsk... It seems that this won't work. Strange, why is Galatea silent... Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? ]

"can hear."

Cardinal Galatea said calmly: "Because this thing has no effect on me."

"……invalid?"

[Why? Because she is a Star Crystal? Speaking of which, the Star Crystal people seem to be a servant race of the "Atlanteans"... I remember that the souls of the Atlanteans were stored in crystals, and then implanted into replaceable constructs. It sounds like a kind of fearlessness...]

[But what do the people of Atlantis look like? Cardinal Galatea is so beautiful, which means that the aesthetic taste of the people of Atlantis is at least not off the mark? ]

"Thank you."

Cardinal Galatea nodded, proud that Aiwass praised her beauty without hesitation: "Atlantis is 'the scaly one'."

"The scaly ones..."

[Mercemen? Mermaids? Siren? Sea monsters? Scaled ones, winged ones... Winged Celestial Master... Deep Celestial Master...]

As Aiwas fell into deep thought, his thoughts suddenly jumped.

At this moment, he had already walked into the most central house.

The door here had no door handle, which made Aiwas very confused.

[How do I open the door... should I put my hand here? Identity verification? So high-tech? Palm print or biometrics? I remember the Church seems to have similar technology...]

As Aiwas thought about it, he placed his palm on an area of ​​different color in front of the door.

But at this moment, the scene in front of him suddenly twisted for a moment.

The next moment, the space cracked.

In front of everyone, Cardinal Aiwass and Galatea suddenly disappeared!
After a brief dizziness, Aiwas opened his eyes, only to find that the surrounding environment had completely changed.

The surrounding environment suddenly became gloomy, like an underground castle.

But Aiwass felt that his mind suddenly became clear - he would no longer hear the "heartfelt words" echoing in his ears. That strange feeling was like the headphones were turned on the microphone monitoring mode. Every time he said a word, his own voice would come out of the headphones, which made him feel like "not daring to speak".

Although he was in a strange new place, Aiwass did not panic at all.

——Because he knows this place.

Nine metal cylinders were etched with patterns, with fire burning on top and pools of blood below. Fresh blood was sucked up from below, flowing through the patterns on the tree-like metal cylinders, and slowly flowing upwards.

On each pillar was a naked person tied with iron chains.

They all looked dying, but all of them were still alive.

Extremely complex runes were carved on the ground with blood, and each rune spread from bottom to top onto the abdomens of the nine sacrifices.

A man wearing aristocratic clothing in the style of the Herasil Empire was facing away from Aiwas and Cardinal Galatea, and he seemed to be praying or resting with his eyes closed. In front of him lay a huge black coffin, and the runes also spread over the coffin.

He heard the sound and turned around. His face was gloomy and his pupils were bloodshot.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man asked calmly and elegantly: "Where are my guards?"

On his chest hung a black crystal cross that was very familiar to Aiwass, and he was wearing a gold and red aristocratic dress.

When he asked this, Aiwass's right eye clearly saw the power of the Path of Love around him frantically gathering towards him -

At this moment, Aiwas's wristband vibrated, and he suddenly heard intermittent wind sounds in his ears:

That's the sound of a sine wave!
[Pope... Sir, don't panic... The two ruins overlapped, you just fell into the other one... Master Dürer... will call you back soon...]

...No, thanks.

There's no need to recall me so quickly.

Because Aiwass recognized this copy at a glance.

Such an iconic blood pool, nine iron pillars, black coffin... This is exactly the ruins copy of Narcissus Territory with the evil blood angel!
This copy has a special feature.

There is no Moon Child in it, but it will drop the last part of the Sasha Set - [Offering Dancing Feet].

——The man in front of me, who I can tell at first glance is the Son of the Moon, should be the "material" for the future "dirty evil blood angel" who loses his mind!
