Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 893 "Snake" deceived us!
Under the correct operation of the sine, the "elevator" was activated again - it was a device similar to the elevator of the Theocracy. Considering the order of precedence, perhaps the elevator of the Theocracy was like the Tower of Babel.

There was no danger in the first few floors, just as Aiwass had seen. The Tower of Babel had turned into an empty nothingness.

Although the device on the fourth floor was valuable, it would be inconvenient to carry it to the upper floors. Therefore, they did not stop when they passed the fourth floor, but continued to move upwards.

"...these layers of separate spaces, the towering buildings that reach the sky, and the transparent lifts that are independent of the platforms. Everything about them really makes me feel familiar."

Aiwass complained.

Cardinal Galatea behind him said calmly: "This is not surprising. The civilization of the Breasted Ones is later than that of the Winged Ones and the Scaled Ones. In the initial stage of civilization, it is normal to imitate the ancestors. Just like humans are imitating the elves."

"Those with breasts..."

Aiwass repeated Cardinal Galatea's name for the spirit.

…I have to say, the average size of elves is indeed quite large.

He couldn't help but pull Cardinal Galatea beside him and asked, "Are elves the first to have breasts?"

"That's right. To nourish others with one's own milk - isn't that the concept of illumination?"

Cardinal Galatea asked back, "You should remember that when young priests first learned the art of illumination, they all exuded a milky scent. That was the legacy of the art of illumination before it became a professional skill. The origin of the priest profession is the One with Milk, just like the mage comes from the One with Wings and the pharmacist comes from the One with Scales."

Transforming one's own flesh and blood into nutrition to help others gain health is an act in itself that is for the continuation of civilization and has no meaning for the individual.

Therefore, the essence of the act of "breastfeeding" is the most ancient "dedication"!
"In other words," Aiwass suddenly realized, "the Kingdom of Giant Trees was indeed built to imitate the Tower of Babel?"

"I hope you haven't forgotten that Cardinal Loki, who belongs to the 11th ring, is monitoring the 21st ring and the 1st ring from that level at the same time."

Cardinal Galatea's voice was as cold and emotionless as a puppet's: "This is based on the same principle as the nameless device in the Tower of Babel."

"Nameless... is it really nameless?"

"Yes. Because for the civilization at that time, there was no need to give it a new name. These devices naturally appeared in various places, and they themselves were part of civilization. If you insist, some people would call it the 'hub', 'hive' or 'mind'. But there was no need for a unified name - because under its function, no matter what people called it, they could understand each other's meaning without any misunderstanding, so language was unnecessary and the 'name' was meaningless."

Cardinal Galatea spoke more fluently.

…I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Aiwass feels that Cardinal Galatea is starting to talk more. She is also starting to know more.

This was obviously not information that Cardinal Galatea should know, but she gradually "remembered" it.

Even her tone seemed to become more lively.

"'Puppet', you..."

Aiwass hesitated for a moment.

...So, the people who saw the "illusion" before, besides Aiwass and Zhu Tang who were transcendents... there was also this cardinal who signed a contract with the Twin Mirror.

But...can other people hear this kind of secret?

Cardinal Galatea took the initiative and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You can just call me by my first name. When I said the first sentence, the others were already in a hallucination. As far as they knew and felt, what happened was no different except that we didn't speak."

...Illusions are really scary. They can even do something like this...

Once again, Aiwass realized how skilled Cardinal Galatea was in illusion.

And he didn't hesitate to ask directly: "Have you survived from this era until now?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The puppet-like Cardinal Galatea said in a cold and calm voice: "Before the destruction of the Atlanteans, the scaly ones, they created us. I was once an Atlantean, but my memory was sealed. Theoretically, we should have fallen into a deep sleep and avoided the predicted annihilation in this way.

"It was not until a long, long time later that I was awakened again... and then I realized that my fellow tribesmen, for some reason, had not managed to fall asleep. So I became the only Star Crystal Person to wake up.

"After I saw the vision just now, my memory gradually came back to me. I gradually remembered... I had been here before. Just like every Atlantean who worships the holy land, I was once an apprentice here."

The elevator is still rising and has reached the sixth floor.

Cardinal Galatea continued, "I was supposed to be one of those destroyed by the Thunder of Punishment. But because I accepted the mission at that time and went to the Temple of the Origin to get the Holy Oil of the Serpent Father, I left the Tower of Babel. But before I left far, the Tower of Babel was struck down by thunder. I was not in the tower at that time, but I was also affected and lost consciousness.

"When I woke up again, I was already put into this cold star crystal body. My mind was almost frozen, and the numb and false senses made me clearly realize... that I was dead. And because of the secrets I knew, my people did not want to let me enter the source river." "Why did you die? What are you researching?"

Aiwass asked quickly.

He realized very clearly that the great secret of the Amber Age was only one step away from him.

"Haven't you guessed it?"

Cardinal Galatea’s voice became more human and complex: “Just as you guessed.

"That is a plan to send the Fallen Angels... or rather, the leader of the Winged Ones, the second 'King of the Winged Ones' Lucifer, into the Dream World.

"With the wisdom that exhausts the truth of the entire world, and with the power gathered by all the people in the world, you will obtain the Holy Eleven.

"Four elements, seven marks - breaking through the limit of ten, reaching the realm of impossible possibilities, and transcending the increasingly approaching disaster of nothingness. This is the ultimate purpose of the Tower of Babel. At that time, we already knew that the 'Pillar' must be pure and flawless. It is impossible for a person to lift himself up, so the 'Pillar' cannot break through the nothingness of ten.

“To achieve this, we can only seek power outside the pillars.

"And then, the 'Snake' said to us, 'There is still a loophole in your plan', maybe you can add another lock -

“So we, the people, prayed, and built a temple for the living in the Tower of Babel, and performed sacrifices to the living. Generation after generation of winged people offered their souls, and worshipped the King of the Winged Ones as a god. This was the sacrifice of [dedication];

"The scaly ones stole the sacred oil of the serpent father, and used it to anoint and brand the king of the winged ones. This is the ritual of transcendence.

“…In the end, we failed.”

When saying this, Cardinal Galatea's tone was no different from that of a living person: "Violence cannot be seen, truth cannot be spoken - when we failed, we didn't know why we failed or why we died. It is only now that we know everything..."

At this time, the elevator rose to the eighth floor.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly hit my heart——

"warn!"

Rurouni suddenly got a start and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

The next moment, the ascending platform suddenly got stuck, making a creaking sound. Everyone's body shook violently, and the strong sense of weightlessness almost threw the lightest kitten out!

When the door of the lift platform opens, you can see a flock of crows flying in the distance, blocking out the sun and the sky.

"The snake deceived us."

Cardinal Galatea finally came back to life from the solidified history - or rather, she regained her soul.

“He lost the power of reincarnation, so he came to steal the ritual fruit of the Tower of Babel and returned to the position of the celestial minister. In the end, the scaly snake and the winged bird ascended together and embarked on the path of transcendence.

"The power of 'four' that was originally used to merge and promote the Winged King was stolen by the snake. Due to the imbalance of large numbers, the Winged King leaned towards the large number 'seven'... that is a more brutal and chaotic force, so He became the uncontrolled corrupt side of the 'transcendence' force."

"That power, could it be..."

Aiwass blurted out.

Cardinal Galatea had calmed down again.

She confirmed Aiwas's guess without hesitation: "Yes, that is the law of the Tiansi of Huantiansi.

"——Endless Knot!"

At this time, the flock of crows in the distance has become clear.

That's not a crow!

——They are a group of crazy demons!

"The first demons were the souls of those with wings."

Cardinal Galatea's voice sounded behind Aiwas: "They are the world's first priests."
