When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 840: Chapter 219 Major Deviation on the Path of Adaptation Chapter 840: Chapter 219 Major Deviation on the Path of Adaptation If not for other Celestial Marshals of the Path of Adaptation being incompetent, the Path of Adaptation might have already experienced a change in leadership.

　　—The current situation of the Lord of Scalefeather is actually not much different from the era of the Supreme Heaven.

　　People in those days transitioned from a primitive state, gradually establishing a political order.

From primal strength to authority…

even the Giant King himself was not exempt from bias.

　　The same is true for the Lord of Scalefeather.

　　After the unique environment brought by Supreme Heaven and the Beast Master ended, the definition of the Path of Adaptation for the new era deviated.

　　But even the Lord of Scalefeather couldn’t just come forward and say “You have misunderstood these professions.”

　　The professions have been born, ultimately how they are understood and used is the business of the Transcendents in the Material Realm.

　　Even the Eternal Theocracy, which has a deeper understanding of the Nine Pillar Gods, shares this understanding…

so it is likely similar in other places.

　　When everyone perceives it this way, the definition of the path changes.

The Dream Realm affects the Material Realm, and the Material Realm also affects the Dream Realm—The fact that the Flame Celestial Marshal could become stronger influenced by the Dwarves proves this point.

　　The original concept of the Flame Celestial Marshal was fierce fire and forging.

Using flames to forge metals, turning minerals into “tools” and “weapons” was one of the first powers obtained from fire.

　　But later, as civilization developed, the things “fire” could accomplish also increased.

　　Now the Flame Celestial Marshal has gradually been tied to concepts of “production,” “factories,” and her power has naturally become stronger.

This is changing the narrative to redefine paths and professions—just as people need blacksmiths to forge tools, blacksmiths became creators of tools; and when people need blacksmiths to forge weapons, they become providers of weapons.

　　As the Flame Celestial Marshal’s concept of “factory” and “steam” gradually spreads and expands to “machinery,” she can no longer be referred to as “Flame Celestial Marshal.” At that time, she might become the “Mechanical Sky Marshal.” If she spreads into the realm of war through being the “creator of firearms and swords,” she could even engage in the realm of authority.

　　—In a certain sense, what the Lord of Scalefeather is doing is a similar thing.

Both situations are of the same nature.

　　It’s just that the Flame Celestial Marshal is swallowing the powers of other Celestial Marshals, whereas the Lord of Scalefeather is swallowing the powers of other Pillar Gods.

　　The Lord of Scalefeather indeed caused losses to other Pillar Gods—even if just a negligible amount.

　　”And besides, there’s another reason.

That’s due to the special situation in the Holy Nation…”

　　Candle Master whispered softly into Aiwass’s ear.

　　Like a mother, a grandmother, patiently explaining to her child who suddenly felt unloved and aggrieved what had just happened—even though Aiwass wasn’t unloved or aggrieved.

　　And this reason, let Aiwass fully understand the anxiety felt by those Cardinals.

　　—Just as the “Controlled Flame” could trigger turmoil within the Holy Nation.

　　In the end, it’s a conflict between Heirs and professionals.

　　Many Elves originally took pride in being Heirs.

　　Elves are naturally a long-lived race with fewer children, and an excellent heritage could likely come from thousands of years ago—the longer the life, the more pride they take in such ancient history.

　　In a traditional Elven family, if the offspring choose the path of a professional, it easily leads to conflict with the elders in the family.

Broken heritages turn into clandestine ones, which also means the loss of the “family name,” which is a source of their pride.

　　—Through the inheritance of the family name, it’s possible to trace back two thousand, three thousand years, or even more.

Among them, the most glorious are the ancient heritages that existed at the birth of the Elves, even before their creation.

　　Most of these heritages have now become clandestine, and in the perception of Elves, clandestine is seen as a “corpse of heritage.” Only the never broken heritages are “alive.”

　　Yet Heirs indeed increase the risk of Amberfication—even Cardinals gathered here have different views on “Amberfication” and “heritage.” Not to mention those common Elves.

　　Therefore, those who were originally professionals suddenly becoming “warriors” is considered a minor matter.

　　The real problem is with those Heirs—and yet the protective will and fighting spirit are most likely found among these conservative factions.

　　In other words, this night passes, a significant number of conservative Elves wake up to find themselves suddenly turned into professionals.

　　And this will undoubtedly trigger fierce conflicts covering the entire Holy Nation—

This is also why the Cardinal Archbishops have gathered to discuss.

They originally intended to summon the Pillar Gods to themselves and discuss this matter.

It’s just that Aiwass arrived too early, and they had only just started talking when he got here.

From this angle, what they said was indeed not bad.

The original “Catastrophe of the Tree and Amber,” has indeed become the “Disaster of the Stars”—

The internal war of the Elves, at this moment, is nearly about to erupt, unable to be contained.

The only good news is… at least this war will not extend upwards to the level of the Pillar Gods, turning into a new War of Paths.

Because the scheme of the Lord of Scalefeather, the most danger poses to the Path of Authority, followed by the Path of Devotion.

And the Silver-Crowned Dragon had already negotiated with the Lord of Scalefeather ahead of time — this itself is part of the deal.

After all, the Silver-Crowned Dragon has finally become a full-fledged Pillar God, and even if it yields a portion of its power, it is much stronger than before.

Candle Master, it seems due to his good nature, does not plan to trouble the Lord of Scalefeather over this issue.

As for the Hourglass, usually appearing at times like these, since the old man did not show up, it means he doesn’t plan to interfere.

The same goes for the Great Sage, naturally, he would not oppose — firstly, “Wisdom” and “Strength” are essentially opposites, just as the Great Sage and Supreme Heaven are two sides of the same entity.

It’s practically impossible for a “Mage to turn into a warrior”.

Besides, he still owes Aiwass a favor, so he wouldn’t suddenly become hostile.

And Gemini Mirror and Eternal Self — Aiwass didn’t understand why they came down.

Perhaps they just came to take the opportunity to get close.

After all, it is said that Eternal Self once revered the Gemini Mirror when she was a mortal.

“Love” and “Beauty” are inherently two sides of the same coin.

As for Amber…

Perhaps because Cardinal Matilda, bound by a pact with Amber, happens to be absent.

Or perhaps because Amber can’t be bothered with such matters, Amber also did not show up.

The only one who seemed to have objections was the Serpent Father.

Or rather, the Serpent Father seems to have had objections towards the Lord of Scalefeather for a long time—

Cardinal Cyril, who is usually always smiling gently, now appears to have a cold expression.

“Truly fitting for the God of Stolen Scales and Feathers…”

Serpent Father calmly said, “Again, you righteously stole something new.

You are still the same, as always.”

“This is the Path of Adaptation for the weak, you don’t have to speak if you don’t understand.”

The Lord of Scalefeather returned to the surface of Aiwass, his green eyes gazing at the Serpent Father.

He scoffed, “After all, you won’t be able to fly for much longer, our great strong one.

“What could possibly be above you?

“Wall of Dusk, Cage of Missteps—

“Do you really intend to touch it?”

Though hostile, the Lord of Scalefeather’s words seemed to carry a hint of concern.

Aiwass couldn’t quite determine whether their relationship was good or bad.

But the Serpent Father answered without hesitation, “I must transcend that wall.

“That is my fate — even if what lies beyond is the Void, even if I am to shatter into pieces.@@novelbin@@

“This is the destiny of a Transcender.”

“Ha, fate.

Destiny.”

Lord of Scalefeather sneered, offering no further comment.
