When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 844: Chapter 223: The Great Achievement of the Ouroboros Chapter 844: Chapter 223: The Great Achievement of the Ouroboros “Shh…”

The Lord of Scalefeather simply extended his right index finger, adorned by a black glove, and in front of himself made a mysterious gesture: “This is a secret, not meant for you to know.

“After all, you want to kill Him, don’t you?

The power of your Path of Transcendence stems from great sin…

if you keep getting stronger, sooner or later the Fallen Celestial Marshal will notice.

As half of the Serpent Celestial Marshal, it’s impossible that you obtained this power with the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s permission.

“That disagreeable fellow, he would not be so forgiving.”

“But are we not in ‘mutually beneficial cooperation’?”

“Cooperation means that I don’t need to specifically pay you a reward for this.

Because you will benefit from this too — this is not like working for me, but rather investing together in a venture.

It’s better to be devoted to one’s projects.”

The Lord of Scalefeather laughed lowly: “After all…

I’ve already given you that thing, haven’t I?

“— The essence of the Supreme Heaven.”

“…

Do you mean, I will die here?”

“Who knows.

I can’t quite see your future, after all, you are an anomaly.

Even if I could see clearly, it wouldn’t necessarily be accurate.”

The man in the black suit, with only chaos and darkness where his head should be, said lightly: “Having this extra life should be enough for you.

“By the way, regarding your inner doubts about what the Serpent Celestial Marshal actually wants to do…”

Suddenly, the Lord of Scalefeather added: “In fact, you’ve already guessed it a moment ago in your mind—you’ve known the answer to that question, just didn’t realize where the issue lies.”

…I guessed?

Which sentence?

Aiwass was slightly startled.

The surrounding darkness then dissipated once more.

“Boss, boss?”

When Aiwass called out to the Lord of Scalefeather again, he found the boss no longer responded.

It felt like an excuse of “Sorry my phone ran out of battery, gotta hang up now.”

This thought emerged in Aiwass’s mind.

Although unaware of why the Lord of Scalefeather and the Serpent Celestial Marshal would target the Fallen Celestial Marshal together…

Aiwass felt that the boss might also be involved with the Ring of Ouroboros plan.

…Did I guess?

What did I guess?

Aiwass was somewhat puzzled.

Just then, Aiwass found it unexpectedly quiet around him.

Looking up, he realized that the noisy Cardinal Archbishops had all disappeared.

Aiwass carefully sensed the time and found that more than half an hour had passed.

The Lord of Scalefeather didn’t stop time like last time, but directly pulled him into the world of consciousness.

Currently, Aiwass was sitting upright with crossed legs on a metal lotus platform, and only Cardinal Cyril remained here — and the Serpent Father on him had completely dissipated.

Cardinal Cyril had reverted to the mild yet somewhat crafty old man.

“Awake?”

Cardinal Cyril’s kind voice sounded.

Aiwass lifted his head: “Did they just leave?”

“They left a while ago.”

Cardinal Cyril said cheerfully: “Congratulations on your successful promotion and passing the assessment, double happiness has come your way.

Now you’re really going to become a legend of the Holy Nation…

No human has ever been so valued by the Nine Pillar Gods before.”

— To be fair, the Nine Pillar Gods still don’t value humans very much.

Aiwass thought to himself.

His contract with the Lord of Scalefeather, in some sense, was all because of his extraordinary background.

It could be considered “having some connections”.

But he could understand…

to the Phantom Demons with unlimited lifespans, human lifespans are indeed too short.

Just reaching the Fourth Level, one’s life is already half over, even entering the later stages.

To cultivate interests beyond the Path of Devotion to a degree that gains Pillar God’s recognition, and then pass the assessments to become an earthly spokesperson approved by the Pillar Gods…

…and then retiring or even kicking the bucket after a few years.

It’s like having a new employee who resigned after half a month’s training and two days on the job.

If it were Aiwass, he wouldn’t bother recruiting either.

Summoning a giant, an elf, a dragon…

you wouldn’t need to replace them for at least hundreds of years.

Not to mention, it’s much less troublesome.

At least from Aiwass’s perspective, none of the Nine Pillar Gods in this generation seemed particularly active.

“The Cardinals moved quickly.”@@novelbin@@

Aiwass regretted, “Just now, I was dragged away by the Lord of Scalefeather for a short meeting…

I missed the chance to meet them, such a pity.”

He was especially curious about the two representatives chosen by Gemini Mirror and Eternal Self.

Moreover, he had previously mentioned wanting to interact with Cardinal Favna.

Cardinal Favna, as well as “Topaz” Cardinal Siegfried whom Aiwass had previously known, both gained the profession of warrior due to his influence.

Although they were not professionals, their careers on the Path of Devotion were not stripped directly.

But they would probably experience a significant impact.

But he never got another chance to see them—when he awoke, he was sitting upright on the lotus platform like a Buddha.

“I know.”

Cardinal Cyril nodded lightly, “The Lord of Scalefeather has already greeted us.

You weren’t unconscious at that time— it was the state of a representative, where the influence of a Pillar God is deeply involved.

You were ‘yourself’ sitting here, not moved by me.”

“…

What did the boss tell you?”

“Boss?

Uh…

your name for the Lord of Scalefeather is quite novel.

I thought only the Angel Envoy of the Hourglass would call Him that.”

Cardinal Cyril seemed surprised by Aiwass’s reference.

But he quickly explained, “Nothing much, just told us to take more care of you.

Because he doesn’t plan to find other representatives from the church anymore.”

…So, did Aiwass monopolize the role like Cardinal Loki had?

“They left quickly, and it had nothing to do with you.

Mainly because the Holy Nation is quite chaotic nowadays… They are all very busy.

Especially after the ‘warriors’ appeared…”

Cardinal Cyril sighed, “Actually, in my view, these changes aren’t your fault, nor do they have anything to do with the Lord of Scalefeather.

“From a theological perspective, it’s because the Serpent Father has already reached the pinnacle.

The Power of Transcendence in this world has grown to an extreme… I predict that various Phantom Demons will soon upgrade in mass to Celestial Marshals.

“The Serpent Father is about to relinquish his position, hence concepts such as ‘Evolution’, ‘Fall’, and ‘Rebellion’ become activated due to him.

Angel Envoys will rebel against their original masters.

Various chaos and rebellions will occur in the mortal realms, that’s ‘Rebellion’; old warriors will be transformed into the Path of Adaptation, the Path of Adaptation which hasn’t changed in thousands of years will now change too, that’s ‘Evolution’; people becoming depraved, wars intensifying, the once-stable Holy Nation becomes noisy, that’s ‘Fall.’

“Recent events in Avalon, and now in Star Antimony— the rebellion led by Narcissus.

Trolls from the Southern Continent, Dwarves from the north.

The Fourth Water Source War is imminent, even Horus is experiencing rebellions…”

This Cardinal, contracted to the Serpent Father, pointed out something Aiwass had never realized.

…Right.

Aiwass came to the realization.

He finally realized what the Lord of Scalefeather meant when he said “he had already thought of that”—

The Pillar Gods are closely connected with the entire world, just like the rules set by Supreme Heaven, Beast Master, Eternal Self, and Silver-Crowned Dragon affect the entire world.

After the ritual of the Ring of Ouroboros became widespread, a large number of Celestial Marshals fell…

…But as far as Aiwass’s current knowledge, there aren’t that many Celestial Marshals in the world.

Not to mention, the Celestial Marshals from the Path of Authority and Path of Transcendence—combined, they’re less than five.

But what if…

They are only now just becoming Celestial Marshals?

The Serpent Father is about to ascend, the Path of Transcendence reaching the perfect endpoint.

The Source River boils, the world’s Power of Transcendence becomes chaotic…

just like the players’ and NPCs’ levels began to rise rapidly at this time.

Above the Dream Realm, the number of Celestial Marshals also begins to rapidly increase!

—From this perspective, the ritual of the Ouroboros could even be considered a balancing act between the Dream Realm and the Material Realm!

No wonder, those Celestial Marshals were victims, but the Hourglass instead helped the Material Realm eliminate them and didn’t confront the initiator of it all, the Serpent Celestial Marshal… even letting the Serpent Celestial Marshal become a Pillar God.

Considering the ascension of the Silver-Crowned Dragon— even if a Pillar God opposed him, He couldn’t simply secure the position.

“No wonder, no wonder!”

Aiwass suddenly saw the light.

Everything made sense!

So all of this was truly the grand achievement of the Serpent Celestial Marshal!

—This world-shaking plan could indeed be counted as a great achievement through such means!
