Chapter 664 Death of Snake Father
The conversation between the Snake Father and the Lord of Scales and Feathers was not hidden from outsiders.
Judging from the reactions of the cardinals, it was obvious that they had already known about this future. Perhaps it was because of Loki's prophecy, or perhaps it was because the Pillar God who had contracted with them had already mentioned this matter.
It is also possible that no one or God told them - after all, it was a future that could be deduced by logic alone.
Not all paths have an end, and there are also paths that will last forever. However, transcendence is not one of them.
——The Snake Father will eventually reach the end. And the day He has set is approaching.
This is a road that has been determined from the beginning.
The transcendent will never retreat or stop - and because of this, the transcendent will never have peace.
But this kind of infinite progress day after day is a kind of happiness for the transcendent. No matter where you go, you can see a new goal when you look up.
——However, "transcendence" must have a goal to be established.
Therefore, if you set your sights on the infinitely distant future, the transcendent will eventually face an inevitable fate.
That is, one day, they will go from "transcendents" to "strongests".
And when they are beyond transcendence, it means that they have betrayed the Tao. Just like a rebel becomes a monarch, they are no longer the rebels before...
It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it. This is probably the direction of this kind of story.
"[The pillars of this world can never betray the Tao]," the Lord of Scales and Feathers looked at the Snake Father with the body of Aiwas, his emerald green pupils were deep and his voice was low, "This is what you said to me when I became the Pillar God.
"Now, I am still the God of Adaptation. And you..."
"——I will never retreat. "
Snake Father interrupted the Lord of Scales and Feathers and said in a clear manner.
"The Pillar Gods of this world are all slaves of the old me..."
Hengwo suddenly spoke and said this.
In an instant, the room fell into a brief silence.
"Evans" looked at Hengwo and nodded slightly.
Then he looked at "Cardinal Cyril" again, broke the silence and asked directly: "When is the date set?"
"August 1st, it has been confirmed."
Snake Father said without hesitation: "I will complete the final transcendence on that day - crossing the Twilight Wall.
"No matter whether I can survive or not, no matter what is on the other side of the wall... I will no longer exist as a Pillar God. No matter whether I will die, leave, be reborn, or ascend to the top... I will leave the River of Change.
"This world will face the 'eight days without transcendence'. When August 8th, the new Pillar God will ascend. "
... August 1st.
Aiwas heard this date quietly.
He suddenly reacted.
In another world line, the time when Huan Tiansi ascended was exactly August 3rd!
If the death of the Snake Father was brought forward, then according to this time...it might not be Huan Tiansi who came to power through "patricide", but the Snake Father reached the end of the path.
When the Gengyi River is vacant of the Pillar God, Huan Tiansi will reign over it.
If nothing unexpected happens...it will probably be the day of the showdown between Aiwas and Huan Tiansi.
...Is there less than half a year left?
Such a thought floated in Aiwas' mind, and for a moment he actually lacked a sense of reality and tension.
"It's not that there is no way..."
At this time, the Lord of Scales and Feathers said leisurely: "You can also try to modify your own path narrative like me."
"Surpassing and adapting are different paths, Kunpeng."
The Snake Father refused without hesitation: "I am destined to practice the path of transcendence, and I will never look back until the end. If you try to transcend this inevitable fate, it is equivalent to betraying the path of transcendence from another level. This is the 'paradox of transcendence', an infinite wall without positive or negative. "
He stared at "Evans" with his purple and red snake eyes: "Just live with my scales and feathers. You... are also a continuation of me."
"--However, 'easier' and 'survival' are not in conflict."
"Evans" crossed his arms and shook his head slightly, saying: "The way of adaptation also flows with the blood of transcendence-just like the way of authority.
"I will not forget-in the past, predicting the future was the ability to transcend the way. Anchoring the future and then transcending it...isn't this what you did before?"
When he heard the secret suddenly revealed by his boss, Aiwas was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized it.
No wonder...
The Lord of Scales and Feathers has a title, which is "the God of Scales and Feathers", and the church's official name for Him is even "the God of Scales and Feathers". So where did his "scales and feathers" come from, so that it can be called the title of the Pillar God?
As expected - it is the father of all snakes as the "Feathered Serpent"!
The Lord of Scales and Feathers once stole the precognitive ability of the father of snakes, just like the "Spider Silk Sequel" stole the blood of the Supreme God of Loki.
It is precisely because the path of adaptation is mixed with a part of the path of transcendence that today's adaptors will be tainted with the characteristics of transcendence - whether it is an assassin who assassinates the strong, the rich and the officials, or a doctor who uses poison to defeat the strong with the weak and medicine to defeat death, and a hunter who fights against the "magic beasts" that are stronger than intellectual creatures and are rampant, they all have a little taste of transcendence.
- Survival of the fittest.
The essence of adaptation is "evolution"! And evolution is undoubtedly "transcendence for survival"...
...This so-called drink and peck is a definite number.
The old act of "wearing scales and adorning feathers" has now become the starting point for adapting to a big deviation in the road...
"—That's not surprising, Aiwass."
When Aiwass thought of this, he suddenly felt that the space around him became dark again.
In the dark space, a chair appeared in front of him. The Lord of Scales and Feathers had his knees crossed and his fingers intertwined. The faceless man was not sitting very upright on the chair.
There was no light source around, but unexpectedly, the ethereal face of the Lord of Scales and Feathers could be seen clearly.
"——This scene looks like a villain soldier reporting the situation to the backlit BOSS."
Aiwass couldn't help but complain.
But the Lord of Scale Feather just smiled and said: "Actually, it's not much different.
"You guessed it right... The reason why the path of adaptation has a big deflection is because the path of adaptation is mixed with a part of the path of transcendence. Because of this, the path of adaptation will be more stable when there is a strong enemy. Some.
“Nowadays, without external enemies, it is easy to deviate from the path of adaptation.
"But this situation is not unexpected. Rather, it is very reasonable - even inevitable.
"Think about your own situation. The influence of the Tao on the material world is long-lasting and far-reaching. The later pillar gods will eventually be affected by the first. The authoritative god also has a transcendent side and is more powerful. Traces; the God of Love yearns for the ultimate beauty, and also has the desire of a beast.
"Before I finally ascended to God, I was also a believer of Father Snake and even his apostle."
The Lord of Scales and Feathers said slowly: "I stole from him the scales called 'Bagua Yao' and the feathers called 'Prey Rain'. The former is the ability to predict, and the latter is evolutionary. Nature."
"...Why are you telling me such a thing?"
Upon hearing this essential secret related to the succession of pillar gods, Aiwass had no energy left to be curious and amazed. Instead, he perked up and became extremely vigilant.
"Of course it's because you have some relationship with Snake Father."
The Lord of Scale Feather smiled and said: "Huan Tiansi is the son of Snake Father, and you are the half body cut off by Huan Tiansi. You can be regarded as a part of him, or as his younger brother, or as him Descendants. But no matter what, you have some connection with the snake father.
"——Do you know why various small-probability events always happen around you?"
