Chapter 820: Chapter 199 The True Names of Great Sage and Supreme Heaven Chapter 820: Chapter 199 The True Names of Great Sage and Supreme Heaven “That is the inconceivable second life—a miracle that almost surely cannot exist.

“The River of Violence’s Source symbolizes a struggle of life and death, never sparing a predecessor to live.”

The Lord of Scalefeather looked with his face of Void at the two locked in combat, “That’s why the Silver-Crowned Dragon is the weakest of the Pillar Gods.

“For his ceremony is not yet complete—originally, he should have been struck down to the earth, to die a complete death.

“However, the Supreme Heaven died like that in the Dream Realm.

His blood was too corrosive, burning through the barriers between dreams and reality and dripping into the Material Realm, forming a scorching lake.

“A motherless young bear, on the brink of death, licked the Divine Blood of the Supreme Heaven with its strong will to live.

Taking the endless drops of blood as milk, it grew up alone.

“In a sense, this young bear is the unfathered child of the Supreme Heaven.

But when it ascended into the Dream Realm, the will of the Supreme Heaven within him was resurrected.

“When the Holy Numbers shifted from six to seven, ‘Survival’ became ‘Violence’.

Only then did he manage to defeat the Barbaric Heaven’s Envoy, becoming once more the Bear Celestial Marshal…”

At this point, the Lord of Scalefeather laughed with a chuckle.

His laugh was deep and magnetic, carrying a charm that seized the soul, “But the most clever part about this is…

“—bears are the descendants of the bygone ‘King of the Earth’.

Most of the Supreme Heaven’s power came from the King of the Earth, which is why it attracted the young bear…

“However, how could the will of the Supreme Heaven possibly fit with this body?”

Just as the Lord of Scalefeather uttered these words, the Supreme Heaven happened to make a grave mistake—

The Silver-Crowned Dragon thrust his sword into the heart of the Supreme Heaven and then kicked him away!

The Supreme Heaven stumbled a few steps, falling backward to the ground.

—The victor was decided.

And in the Material Realm, the Silver Dragon also lifted the battered Crimson Bear high and slammed it into the earth.

As the Ursa Major crashed down with great force, the entire Material Realm trembled—

It was a physical tremor.

Volcanoes erupted one after another, and earthquakes occurred continuously around the world.

The weapons of all warriors shattered at that moment, their armor instantly dulled and without luster.

Their old wounds burst open, the strength in their bodies flowing out like water from their wounds.

—A clear concept emerged in everyone’s hearts.

A strong sorrow surfaced within everyone, and those slightly more sentimental suddenly cried out without warning.

The Supreme Heaven had fallen.

The warrior had died.

And watching this scene, the Hourglass nodded slightly.

The old man in a yellow robe crossed his arms and said word for word, “This is the cycle.

The way of heaven is clear, karma is inevitable.”

“You are…

the Hourglass, right?”

Aiwass finally had the chance to greet this great figure, and so he hurriedly offered his respects, “Greetings to you…

venerable Master of Balance.”

And the Hourglass turned to look at Aiwass, his stern gaze not softening but silently appraising him.

“Indeed.”

The Hourglass gave a simple evaluation, “One Yin and one Yang, the ultimate principle.”

Aiwass understood, the elderly was referring to his own Dedication and the Path of Transcendence—after this Promotion Ceremony ended, his Dedication and Path of Transcendence would return to a state of Balance again.

And the Lord of Scalefeather let out a hearty laugh, introducing Aiwass, “You must also recognize…

he is related to the Serpent Celestial Marshal.”

“—The surplus of Ai Shiping, I am certainly aware.

He was once an Even-tempered Executor, my Angel Envoy, and my student…”

The Master of Balance glanced at Aiwass and then clearly stated his position, “Let them fight; I do not take another side.”

The implication was that in the struggle between Aiwass and the Serpent Celestial Marshal, the Balancer Pillar God chose neutrality.

Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.

…Neutrality is good.

Neutrality will do!

After all, Serpent Celestial Marshal had once belonged to the Path of Balance and had been in contact with the Hourglass for a long time.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if a Pillar God stood by his side…

Reflecting on the downfall of Supreme Heaven…

the alternation of Pillar Gods is an extremely difficult matter.

First, one must conquer the Pillar God on this Source River, and then possess one’s own distinct philosophy.

This basically required the aid of other Pillar Gods, as relying solely on one’s own Strength was very difficult.

Even if not much help was accepted, should any Pillar God adopt a negative stance towards this matter…

it would become extremely difficult.

It wasn’t simply about gaining another Pillar God as an enemy…

Taking the war to replace Supreme Heaven with the Silver-Crowned Dragon as an example—six Pillar Gods were deployed before the war was barely brought to an end.

And even then, the alternation of the Pillar Gods did not achieve a complete victory.

If any Pillar God were to deny this matter, standing on the opposing side, alongside Supreme Heaven.

The other Pillar Gods supporting the Silver-Crowned Dragon would inevitably take this into consideration, opting for a more conservative stance.

In that case, victory would be almost impossible.

After all, to dethrone a Pillar God does not necessarily mean supporting this particular Celestial Marshal or Angel Envoy to take over.

There were plenty of candidates, always room for negotiation…

“—Aiwass.”

Lord of Scalefeather looked at Aiwass, who seemed a bit anxious, and patted his shoulder, signaling him to relax, “Did you know?

In the past, Supreme Heaven was a devotee of the Path of Balance.”

“…What?”

Aiwass was taken aback, “Is that so?”

During this brief promotion ceremony, he had seen at least twice where Supreme Heaven shattered the shackles of the Hourglass and interfered with the present world.

It was quite justifiable for the Hourglass, having endured the inevitable, to get involved in the War of Heavenly Punishment—if he were the Hourglass, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to bear it either.

“Hmm.”

Hourglass snorted coldly and blew his beard.

This old-fashioned elder did not deny what Lord of Scalefeather said, “In the days of his weakness, he sought the protection of Balance; when he grew strong, he wished to shake off that protection—where in this world does such logic exist?

What is borrowed must be repaid.

“Compared to this thug, I prefer the Great Sage.”

“…Great Sage?”

Aiwass paused, then remembered that the Great Sage and Supreme Heaven were both Pillar Gods who had reached the summit during the “Cicada Slough” event.

“You didn’t know?

It seems he left nothing of use for you.”

Lord of Scalefeather chuckled, “The Great Sage and Supreme Heaven are actually the same person.”

“—What?”

Aiwass was astounded.

Wisdom and Strength, two completely opposite paths, were actually one and the same person?

In that instant, thoughts of the Egg Moon Manual, of himself and Serpent Celestial Marshal, of Silver-Crowned Dragon and Calamity Demon Dragon flooded Aiwass’s mind…

—Is it so popular in this world to split oneself in two?

…But it made sense.

Paths were inherently extreme, and the Source River was not an easily controllable power by the life of Wisdom.

To become more attuned with the Source River, altering one’s own will was not an incomprehensible idea…

“In the past, Winged Celestial Marshal witnessed the truth, and the intense conflict of paths nearly drove him insane.

So he sought the ‘Dichotomy Rift’ from the Hourglass and divided himself into two.

“One side was ‘Dark,’ mastering Darkness and Thunder, more profound and wise in nature, existing as the silent, aging, disabled keeper of secrets—’Mimir’; the other was ‘Light,’ mastering Flames and Earth, inheriting the King of the Earth’s intense self-confidence and unparalleled Strength…

as well as a young, powerful, flawless healthy body.

“And his name was…”

“—Atlas.”

Silver-Crowned Dragon slowly walked before the powerlessly fallen man with blazing wings, quietly proclaiming, “I won.”

“…It’s my loss.”

Supreme Heaven, after a long Silence, spoke slowly, “But you’ve not won either.

“I’ve lost to many…

I’ve lost to my prey, I’ve lost to my foolish descendants, I’ve lost to Hourglass, Lord of Scalefeather, lost to my other half…

However, with you alone, I did not lose.

“—That year, I won, Arthur.”

Thus spoke the former Bear Celestial Marshal, “You could never defeat me at my peak.

And you could never be as strong as me.

Authority will never surpass Strength—just you wait and see.@@novelbin@@

“I’ll be waiting for you at the ultimate Twilight.”

As his words came to an end, his body began to shatter, with a red radiance seeping out from the cracks.

It was a dazzling brightness like red crystals.

—Shards of a Celestial Envoy!
