Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 853 This is Kindness
……No wonder.

Aiwass suddenly understood what Huan Tiansi had said before.

That's why Huan Tiansi said that at that time...

"——As long as the reincarnation ending is triggered, it will be fine. After all, all of this is just a lie. Letting more people survive is the best option... That's what you thought at the time, right?"

Huan Tiansi looked at Aiwass with a smile on his face: "You and I are the same person. Even if I remove my weak human nature, I can still infer what you would think based on my rationality and wisdom.

"Every move you make is within my expectations. After all, you are my best work.

"That's indeed the case... Since this world has been frozen, what does it matter if we start over again?
"When you're playing a game and you're fighting a very difficult boss...if you already know that you're going to die, will you still use those precious consumable items? I don't think you would, would you?

"For the sake of the future... that 'future self' who knows how far away I am, I can clear the level. Sacrificing my current life to explore more of the BOSS's mechanisms and develop a better feel for myself - these are all reasonable and correct choices."

"Necessary evil and... premature death?"

Aiwas frowned, realizing what Huan Tiansi was saying: "Adoptive father...Mr. James, was it you who did it?"

"He is just a pawn. But his ideas themselves cannot be said to be wrong."

Huan Tiansi looked into the void in the distance and said leisurely, "No matter how you radicalize and abstract his theory, and see through his logical contradictions...it won't hinder another thing.

“——After you have heard of this theory, when you encounter a situation that can put this theory into practice, you will still subconsciously consider the possibility of this theory.”

"Knowledge is poisonous...is it?" Aiwass said softly, remembering something.

"Rather than the theory that 'knowledge is poisonous and once you know something you can't get rid of it', I actually prefer... knowledge just carves you into your future form.

"You in the future, the mature you, the complete you...you will do such things and make such choices. It's just that when you are still naive, childish, and immature, you don't understand some truths. That knowledge is just a preview of your original appearance and future posture."

Huan Tiansi's voice became a little deeper, as if he had thought of something, and his mood became less excited and happy: "Originally... this kind of posture requires you to go through some setbacks and difficulties before you can become like this.

“Knowledge changes nothing. It doesn’t corrupt people, it doesn’t change people, it doesn’t poison people—it just accelerates people’s transformation into their true selves.”

“He” turned around and looked at Aiwass, his tone becoming more serious: “Every time the world restarts, even the Nine Pillars of God cannot completely transcend the power of reincarnation. In a new reincarnation, those who are supposed to die will still die, and those who are supposed to become gods will still become gods.

"Only a few beings can preserve memories... For example, I, the former owner of this power, Amber, the new owner, and the Twin Mirrors and Candlesticks, the oldest beings who existed before the cicada shed its skin and became pillar gods. Their specifications are larger than the 'Amber Egg', so they can retain all the memories and powers.

"The Tianshi who existed at that time may have preserved some fragmentary memories, but they will not know the whole truth. That is why Wei Zhe entered the source of the river of truth, where there are answers to all questions...

"——It is precisely because he saw the truth that the Silent God said nothing."

Huan Tiansi pointed out the truth revealed by the second painting.

Suddenly, Aiwass recalled what Huan Tiansi had said before:
“—While the world changes and cycles, the worldly affairs remain the same forever.

"——The righteous will remain righteous, and the filthy will remain filthy. The king will always be the king, and the slave will always be the slave.

"--No one ascends, no one descends, nothing changes. The universe is frozen, like an amber egg; the worlds revolve forever, like a ring with a tail."

So... that's what it means.

"Every time the world reincarnates, except for the interference of the Pillar Gods, the world always runs along a similar trajectory; but every time the Pillar Gods intervene in the material world, the future will be reshaped in a completely new direction.

This is the truth about the 'Promotion Ceremony'.

"Those copies were not made up by the Pillar God out of thin air. The Pillar God does not have the time and energy to compile copies for each group of promoted people... He just gave the uncertain past and future to the promoted people to "test" to find new possibilities for the future of this reincarnation, or the past of the next reincarnation.

"This time, it's already the ninth time. There is a certain possibility that the world will continue to operate like this... continuing this infinite cycle for eight thousand years.

"But there is also a possibility that the world will restart to the limit after the ninth time. The ninth restart and the world entering the tenth round will cause the entire world to irreversibly rush into nothingness...

“——So, this time I plan to cut off the reincarnation.” Huan Tiansi said in a deep voice: “Only in the first reincarnation did I become a ring that connects the ends, and the other times were endless knots; therefore, in this last reincarnation, I will once again become a ring that connects the ends, thus forming a reincarnation that connects the beginning and the end.

"If you want to transcend reincarnation, you must cut off the dusk; if you want to cut off the dusk, you must face the void. Every time the Snake Father reincarnates, he will inevitably choose to break through the Amber Wall, but he never comes back alive. Therefore, you must be at least stronger than the Snake Father to have a chance to face the Destroyer, whose form is unknown and who was isolated by the closed time loop before arriving.

"I have no hostility towards you, Aiwass. We were never enemies. I placed you in the material world and shepherded you for nine reincarnations. As a part of me, I accumulated the power of nine reincarnations... Now it is time to reap the harvest.

“Before the final moment arrives, I have come to reclaim my property, a part of me—the humanity and self that I had lost.”

Huan Tiansi said, reaching out and holding Aiwas’ head: “Don’t resist, Aiwas.

"Just think of it as doing it for the sake of the world, okay? If we fight among ourselves, the power we have accumulated will inevitably decrease. If we can't even penetrate the amber wall, how can we face the catastrophe of world destruction?

"You are a good and sensible child... Don't make it difficult for me. Give me your soul. You are already a complete form. As for Aleister, I will wait until she has collected all the beasts of sin before I take her back."

"--No."

But Aiwass suddenly refused.

He reached out and held Huan Tiansi's arm, looking into his eyes: "It's not that I don't want to sacrifice for the world. I just... don't trust you.

"Just as you understand me, I understand you. I understand too well... If I give up all my conscience, humanity and morality, what will happen to me...

"He uses the truth to deceive people and conceal his true thoughts; he exploits the trust of others to achieve his own goals; he uses others and then destroys them... He is more like a pure villain than a savior. After all, since you said... whether you devour me or I devour you, the result will be the same, so why don't you give me the power?
“——Moreover, you have given all your devotion to me, so what do you want to do for the world with this power?

"Besides, you are obviously the Heavenly Master of Reincarnation, and you have lived with the Pillar Gods of this world for many reincarnations. Then why did they all choose to help me... instead of you?"

"...I hate intuitive little things like you the most."

Huan Tiansi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you want to do for such a while?"

As he spoke, he conjured up a bottle of wine out of thin air.

It was a cup of blood wine only the size of a palm.

"What else can I think?"

Huan Tiansi unscrewed the bottle and sneered, "I want to go home - it's not like I don't have a way to go back. I have already found the way home.

"Unlike people like you who live in this world... Although I don't have a home in that world, it's still much better than this world that is about to be destroyed. I can also take you back with me, isn't that good? When you plan to resign from the company and return to your hometown, it is natural for you to take all your belongings in the rented house with you, right?

"But if you don't accept it..."

Huan Tiansi completely removed the seal on the bottle.

An extremely strong fragrance instantly paralyzed Aiwas's brain.

This is, what's going on...

Although he was just a soul, he felt an unprecedented extreme attraction!

"This is my old blood... our old blood. The last bottle of blood I left when I was still called 'Shepherd'. Although I had expected this to happen, I still had a fluke mentality. I originally wanted to keep it as a souvenir... Don't forget, you are also in a soul state now - you are also a phantom."

Huan Tiansi sneered and threw the bottle of blood to the distraught Aiwass as alms: "Drink, drink...Drink my blood, and you shall not sing or speak!

“I for Holy Communion….

"——This is...kindness."
