Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 890: The Illusion of the Transcendent
At that moment, Aiwass, Zhu Tang who had his eyes closed, and Cardinal Galatea all raised their heads at the same time.

It was as if a loud thunder suddenly came from the sky.

——That was not an illusion.

An extremely strong transcendent will descended from the sky accompanied by illusory thunder.

Its intense pressure far exceeds the level expected at the fifth energy level.

Cardinal Galatea was fine, but Aiwass and Zhu Tang both felt tinnitus at the same moment.

They saw a kind of hallucination for a moment -

That was the scene inside the Tower of Babel thousands of years ago.

There was a bright blue light shining everywhere, and many runes were reflected on the walls.

The most common winged beings here are those with a pair of white wings or brown wings behind their backs. Some people also have a pair of small wings behind their ears, some people have a second pair of wings behind their waists, and some people have wings around their hands and feet. The position of almost everyone's wings is slightly different.

They floated in the air, and even if a few of them stood on the ground, their legs were suspended. Only their toes touched the ground. But the wings behind them did not flap, and the ground seemed to emit some kind of anti-gravity light. Only when they moved would they gently flap the wings behind them, and then they quickly moved to the next place.

About a third of the population have scales.

Some of them have snake tails below their abdomens, and even their hair is snake; some are beautiful mermaids, with ears that stand up like some kind of fins. The scales on their bodies are randomly distributed, some have only spots on their bodies, and others have at least half of their bodies covered.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they all look similar to humans... or elves. At least they belong to the same aesthetic circle - the kind that "may look a little weird, but can still appreciate the beauty of each other".

Their bodies were extremely flexible, and although they were swimming on the ground, they could fly up at any time, as if the air had turned into sea water.

[This development plan should have failed again]

【About the improvement plan of the Echo Ritual...】

[The snake father's holy oil is running out. Who can go to the temple to get some more for me...]

[Let me come and pick up some young people, we are short of manpower again]

[There are new instructions in the inner ring, a total of thirteen new items, the difficulty and content are...]

……

Unlike the chaos when they heard each other's voices before, countless thoughts sounded in an orderly manner.

These people seemed to have some special senses, just like humans can use vision to distinguish "important and unimportant" focused vision, they can also find the information they need from this sea of ​​thoughts. And other distracting thoughts cannot interfere with them in the slightest.

All information and emotions are completely open, and there are no secrets from anyone.

Even though thousands of years have passed and the language system has changed several times, the basic "mindset" has been preserved, allowing them to easily understand.

But the biggest difference from them is...it is that these people are too "serious".

They seem to have no selfishness or desires. Compared with animal instincts - curiosity, rage, laziness, lust and other distracting thoughts, they have a noble rationality that is almost divine.

This illusion only lasted for a very short moment. However, the countless thoughts rushed in, making Aiwas feel as if a long time had passed. The intense and complex thoughts gave him a headache - this was not just one layer, but the thoughts within the entire seven layers were shared.

...Wait, why is there seven floors?

Aiwass was suddenly stunned.

But soon, he noticed another more important detail——

Just before the illusion faded, Aiwas caught a thought that he could not ignore:
[It’s connected, the source river is connected! 】

The next moment, a thunderbolt that seemed to destroy the entire world flashed by—

The whole world turned into daylight, and light overflowed from all directions. Not outside the window, but in every rune on the wall and the ground. In a very short time, the azure light turned into dazzling light blue, sky blue, and then turned into pure white, and the increasingly strong light obscured the entire space.

It was as if Aiwas was hit by a flash bomb. The world in front of him gradually blurred and peeled away. The tinnitus was extremely clear, but he could gradually hear the sounds and see the colors around him.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The first sound he heard was a sinusoidal cough.

The old wizard half-knelt on the ground, his face even redder than before when he was angry and embarrassed.

He coughed violently as if he was choking, saliva dripped out, even tears and snot flowed down, his eyes became red, and his eyeballs bulged like toads. The blood vessels on his forehead protruded clearly and wriggling like earthworms.

That deep red color, which was completely different from the color of his skin, appeared not only on his head, but also on his hands. This made his hands look like they were swollen up as if they were bitten by a mosquito - but in this case, the blood vessels in his hands were even more prominent!
——This is the early sign of the road getting out of control!

Ignoring his tinnitus and blurred vision, Aiwass placed his hand on Sine's shoulder.

A blessing of tranquility accompanied by the Radiance spell fell on Zhengsine, relieving his physical discomfort first. Then Aiwass activated the higher divine spell and used the higher hypnosis spell with the power of the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

Seeing Sine losing consciousness and falling asleep on the ground, then immediately falling into a deep sleep, Aiwas breathed a sigh of relief.

After he has a good sleep and lets his brain process a little, the abnormal thoughts and dangerous memories will be automatically deleted by the brain. This is the body's natural protection mechanism, and it is also the reason why many people who are on the verge of losing control never lose control - no matter how strong the pain, fear, anger, and doubt before going to bed are, as long as "you wake up, everything will be fine."

Because as soon as you enter deep sleep, the most core "abnormality" will be cleared as garbage.

Aiwass quickly turned around and looked at Zhu Tang: "Are you okay?"

But he noticed that Zhu Tang also raised his head like him.

Obviously, as a transcendent, he also saw the abnormality at that moment.

"…I'm fine."

Zhu Tang rubbed his forehead and said, "Maybe I know too little, so the impact I got was not that strong. It may also be that I have sealed my eyes a long time ago and I don't have the habit of opening my eyes... so I didn't get the complete information.

"If I had my eyes open when I entered that hallucination, I would probably have gone crazy by now."

His tone was half teasing, half pessimistic.

"Will not."

But Aiwass said firmly: "With me here, even if you lose control, I can still save you."

"...It really makes me feel safe, Your Holiness."

Zhu Tang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, and could only praise dryly.

He was clearly not used to flattering others, so he quickly changed the subject: "Did you hear that last sentence?"

"I'm not sure if the last sentence you heard was the same as mine... Can you tell me first?"

Aiwass shook his head and spoke cautiously.

"Some people say... [The source river is connected]."

Zhu Tang's words shattered Aiwas's hope - he heard exactly the same words.

Zhu Tang said seriously: "So I wonder if there is a possibility that the lightning that smashed the Tower of Babel might not be related to Wei Zhe?

"You told us the story of the Tower of Babel before. But if I remember correctly, Wei Zhe just kept silent about the final result, right? Keeping silent about this... doesn't necessarily mean that he did it.

"Could it be that they were trying to bypass the Pillar Gods from the material world and connect to the Fourth Source River, and then were struck by the thunder? The power used by Wei Zhe is thunder... maybe that is the characteristic of the Fourth Source River?"

When Zhu Tang said this, his emotions were extremely strong and rich.

It was as if he too had experienced something where he had to "remain silent."

“…It’s possible, but in that case,” Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the phrase “Snake Father Holy Oil”, and had some new ideas in his mind, “the source they are trying to connect to may not be the Fourth Source River.

"——It could be the Eighth River."
