Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1187 The Birth of Shang Tiansi
In the middle of the night, Aiwass was suddenly awakened from the palace.

——Just now, he felt a star rising up like an explosion.

A new celestial being was born.

As a star rose into the night sky, Aiwass opened his eyes, with dark red flames burning in his pupils.

"Hmm...? What's wrong?"

Isabel also woke up immediately, whimpering like a kitten.

After occupying the palace of the good master of Rock Cellar City, he also gradually arranged the followers in the caravan to move into the palace. After all, even if the space folding technology allowed the carriage to have enough space to put down a bed, the lighting and air would not be very good, and it was not suitable for long-term living.

All of the benefactor's personal belongings were burned along with his body by Aiwass.

But this big bed that can accommodate six or seven people sleeping together - it can even be called a giant bed - can't find a sheet to use. So it just covers a small area in the middle and sleeps like this for the time being.

Aiwass touched Isabel's head, kissed his wife, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, go to sleep."

He immediately got up, put on his robe and went to the reception room alone.

The pure white wool carpet has an addictive warmth even without wearing shoes. It is more than five centimeters thick and you can feel the softness as if you are sinking into a cloud when you step on it.

There are two sets of pure gold wine utensils on the table, and a complete set of pure gold tableware is stored nearby. There are also about a dozen sets of lead tableware given to others for use - the Parthians believe that lead, not silver, is the sacred metal closest to gold, so the good masters will use it in large quantities in daily life.

For ordinary people, this level of use can easily lead to lead poisoning. However, the benefactor will receive intensive treatment and health monitoring, and often has a high level of Twilight Path, so only the people around the benefactor will get into trouble.

When others were poisoned, the Good Lord was still glorious, which also proved the holiness, greatness and eternity of the Good Lord.

Aiwass picked up a piece of cashmere from the edge of the carpet, and flames ignited at his fingertips. With his other hand, he took out a golden cup.

He threw the cashmere dyed with flames in his hand into the golden cup, and chanted: "I pray to the candlelighter. I offer the flame of the Lamb to pray for true knowledge..."

The next moment, the flame in the golden cup suddenly expanded abnormally.

There was only a strand of wool to burn, but the flame was as big as a basketball. It looked like a golden light bulb.

In reality, it is a hollow ring of fire. The flame is like a crystal ball, but also like a door that leads something out.

Aiwas's abnormal eye easily felt that a divine power was rapidly approaching.

——When Aiwas first used this divine art, it took a lot of effort. He recited the prayer for a long time with an extremely respectful attitude, and finally summoned the apostle of the candlestick to answer one of his questions.

This time, Aiwass only used two sentences... and did not even use any sacrifices to directly attract the apostle to come. The only thing missing from directly invoking the high-level divine art of the candlestick was the last two sentences.

But the apostle that emerged this time surprised Aiwass a little.

The basketball-like flame continued to expand and turned into a huge ring of fire that was taller than Aiwass.

The next moment, a beautiful creature with four legs like a candle emerged from the ring of fire.

Unlike Aiwas and Zhu Tiansi, she did not have the antlers that symbolized the son of the candle, nor did she have the black stripes that controlled the sinthorns, but she was still half human and half deer. She had milky white fur, slender deer legs, and hooves burning with pure white flames. Her human upper body was dressed in a translucent gauze dress, with only two circles of white cloth wrapped around her chest.

She has long straight white hair and equally pure white eyes - those eyes make people feel weird, yet sacred.

That face, which was more gentle and sweet than beautiful or charming, was very familiar to Aiwas.

"…Your Highness Ruoan?"

Aiwass recognized the man in front of him immediately.

This half-man, half-deer posture is the unique performance of the Candle Apostle, just like the Candle Sky Master, the Winged Fire, and the "Eternal Pioneer" Carstenning.

And her appearance is exactly the same as that of the previous Eternal Pope, John Eternal, who burned himself to death in the battle against the Fallen Angels!

"Long time no see, Aiwass!"

The fawn hopped and landed nimbly in front of Aiwass. She raised one hoof slightly and said in a lively tone like a girl: "Or maybe not that long?"

"It's been a few months, probably."

Aiwass was delighted to see his old friend: "You finally woke up from the source river."

Although in principle, many people he knew in reality could be transformed into apostles and resurrected in the dream world after their death... this was the first case he witnessed with his own eyes.

——Evans had an inexplicable feeling as if he were meeting a good friend again after many years and finding out that the other person had passed the civil service exam.

I feel relieved that the other person will finally have a good future, but I also feel a strange sense of strangeness.

"I sensed that you were summoning an apostle, so I rushed forward immediately!"

Ruoan smiled quietly, jumping around in front of Aiwas, raising his hands to pretend to run: "The Winged Flame wanted to respond to the call, but I threw the little thing out on the spot!"

Ah, no wonder.

Aiwas thought, no wonder the fireball was only the size of a basketball at first. If it was a portal to the Winged Fire, that size would be enough. But if Joan wanted to pass through, the size would have to be larger.

"…Is Wingfire okay?"

Aiwass was a little worried: "You won't quarrel over this, right?"

As soon as he said this, he felt that his words were full of tea, so his expression became strange for a moment. But Ruo An didn't care, just laughed: "It's very busy, it doesn't need this order - this is my first time to respond to the call! It feels so good to be back in the material world again... I will answer your questions later, let me take a breath first!"

As she spoke, she jumped around the room and exclaimed, "Wow, Aiwass, you...did you inherit some earl's fortune?"

"This is the house of the previous benefactor. It has nothing to do with me. And I'm not short of money anyway."

As Aiwas said this, he held up the golden cup in his hand that was still burning like a candle, opened the door for Joan and put her in the yard.

Watching the little deer with pure white light running happily in the courtyard, Aiwass suddenly felt that the dream world was quite beautiful.

Although until now, all he knew about the dream world was being eaten by demons, being chased by giant bears, the dark kingdom of shadows, the wilderness with nothing, the old guys and their conspiracies... and also the large companies in the dream world, friendly companies and their employees and individual employees.

And now, Aiwass truly realized the value of the saying "Death is not the end of life."

so good.

He sighed sincerely.

After Ruoan had finished having fun, she walked to Aiwass with a reluctant look on her face: "Okay... Thank you, Aiwass. I've almost had enough fun. You should go to bed, right?
"I guess you want to ask about that Tiansi just now, right?"

"That's right," Aiwass nodded, "Who is that Celestial Master? Where did he come from? I don't know if it's because of my location... I didn't feel anything unusual, so I can't tell."

"I couldn't sense it in the first place. He is a celestial master of the path of balance, how could there be any abnormal phenomenon?"

Ruoan smiled and said, "That is Shang Tiansi, the Tiansi of trading and hoarding, investment and speculation. He was an apostle who followed Sha Shiji a long time ago. He is a Taichu person, and his last name is Jiang."

...Surname Jiang?
Aiwass murmured to himself.

For a moment, he could not think of any particularly famous ancient merchant named Jiang among the Taichu people.

"Could it be Jiang Ziya?"

Aiwass was a little confused.

"Jiang Ziya is also an apostle of the Sand Clock. But the one who ascended to the position of Heavenly Official this time is his descendant," Ruoan replied, "I remember his name is Lu Buwei."

“…Why him?”

"Because this is a deal in itself, he sacrificed himself voluntarily. But the specific content of the deal is unclear."

Ruo'an's face became more serious, and the deer's hooves stopped kicking. "After all, there has to be someone to take the position of the Heavenly Master. Otherwise, the Tail Ring cannot be completely completed."

...Replacement of the Heavenly Official?
Avas reacted immediately.

Unlike the celestial officials who spontaneously became gods in other paths... the Path of Balance may know more about the Tail Ring Ceremony because of the Sand Clock. Therefore, no celestial official has come yet.

But in this case, the Tail Ring Ceremony is bound to be missing one person.

At this time, ascending to God is almost doomed to be dragged down. In other words, whoever ascends will die... Under such circumstances, Shang Tiansi was born.

Although he didn't know why, Sand Time was willing to sacrifice one of his apostles and even give up a part of his own divine essence in order to complete Huan Tianshi's Tail Ring Ceremony...

——Are you his biological father?
But what is certain is that the birth of this new Celestial Master foreshadows his demise in the near future.

He was born from a transaction, selling his past, his life in this world, and the possibilities of the future, in exchange for a meaningless position as a god.

Although no one knew what he was asking for...but the great deal of selling godhood itself was enough to support His status as Shang Tiansi.

"By the way, Aiwass...the next one to ascend to godhood should be Morgan."

Joan added: "Morgan of the Path of Love - but it was not the Path of Love that she had ascended."

She stared at Aiwas's eyes and immediately laughed: "So you know."

"The path of authority, right?"

Aiwass said softly.

"That's right," Ruoan nodded, "It should be the clan celestial official - a symbol of family and tradition. She is already preparing for the ascension ceremony, which should be a few days later. But her fate will probably be the same. If there is no second celestial official on the path of authority, she will definitely be pulled down by the ring celestial official... I don't know if she knows about this, but Sizhu told me not to meddle in other people's business, so I will be obedient and not care about it."

"That's it..."

Aiwass mused.

He looked at Joan's body which was gradually becoming transparent and illusory - the work of the apostle had been completed, and she was about to be summoned back by the power of balance.

Before Ruoan disappeared, Aiwass suddenly asked, "By the way, how is the Crown Master doing recently?"

"It doesn't feel... good."

Juan hesitated: "He seems a little crazy recently... Try to pray to Him less..."

Before she could finish her words, she was engulfed in flames and summoned back to the dream world.

But enough of this level of answer.
