Chapter 1404: Chapter 115: The One Loved by the Serpent Celestial Marshal

“The Golden Sword…”

Aiwass murmured, thinking quickly in his mind.

Gold—it’s the tal symbolizing the Hourglass. And the sword represents conquest and authority. Coincidentally, the Helasal Empire also reveres the Path of Balance, willing to accept various Paths and establish a human kingdom.

At the sa ti, before the appearance of the Path of Authority, the Path of Devotion symbolizing civilization and the Path of Balance symbolizing order were both closely related to the human gathering into nations.

And Hers, before being “banished to mortals,” was the Angel Envoy of the Hourglass. Even after he beca mortal, he still possessed formidable strength. That punishnt was more like letting a disciple go out and see the world. He just had to live a full life to ascend back to godhood.

But Hers saw too much of the world—he was captivated by the charm of the Fools, willing to give up the easy path to godhood.

And combining the fact that “Heracles had astonishing brute strength when young, which weakened as they learned more”—Aiwass had witnessed Yulia’s brute strength early in the orphanage—this very likely was a “protection chanism” similar to the reincarnation of Angel Envoys.

“…Did he transfer the Angel Envoy’s power of the Hourglass to Heracles?!”

Aiwass blurted out.

No wonder the Hourglass wanted Yulia to beco its Angel Envoy… It all matched up!

Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly turned to look at Sherlock.

Simultaneously, Sherlock also looked over.

Through this, they both realized even more—

Aiwass thought of the previous saying he heard—fate has weight. With each reset, the mass entangled around him would grow larger, like placing various stones on a stretched flannel; the heavier ones would tilt other stones toward themselves. That’s why Aiwass encountered so many coincidences.

At that ti, Aiwass thought it was because the Serpent Celestial Marshal restarted history too many tis. But it still couldn’t explain why his friends would always follow him.

And now, he finally realized… It’s not just himself who’s special.

Lily was the reincarnation vessel of the Grey Celestial Marshal, and also inherited the mantle of the Eternal Self to beco the Moon Witch, Sherlock was Hers of this generation, inheriting the “Fools’ Chants Manual,” and Yulia happened to be this generation’s Heracles.

Just like the relationship between Aiwass and Sherlock mirrors that of Ai Shiping and Lucifer.

This world does not have so-called “past lives.” Because every soul would either ascend to godhood or disintegrate into dust.

But in another sense, there really exist “past lives”—because what has already happened will always happen again. This is a kind of “gravitational pull of fate.”

“What has been will be again; what has been done will be done again…”

Aiwass softly murmured the words inexplicably floating from his heart.

He didn’t rember these words, yet now they slipped out… It must be an important clue erased or hidden by the Serpent Celestial Marshal. It is thanks to Hebashia’s hint that he could recall it now.

He looked towards Isabel.

…Since that’s the case, then where is his “past life’s karma” with Isabel?

He and Isabel were both unrelated to the Fools event. Nothing about them could be seen there. Instead, the soul of the Fools was simultaneously invited by the Song Celestial Marshal and the Serpent Celestial Marshal… Although Isabel had already embarked on the path of the Playful Sky Departnt, the Playful Sky Departnt and the Song Celestial Marshal both reside within the Mirror Hall, so there might be so connection.

But even this extent doesn’t make sense…

At that mont, a thought suddenly erged in Aiwass’s heart:

Since he would co to like Isabel, and fundantally he and the Serpent Celestial Marshal were the sa person, there was no reason he wouldn’t like soone similar.

And the biggest difference between him and the Serpent Celestial Marshal is that… when he “transmigrated” or “awakened past life mory,” it was already the Moon Calendar of 1898. But the Serpent Celestial Marshal existed at least before the Amber Calendar began—the power to reset the world given by the Serpent Celestial Marshal, wasn’t it?

Before reincarnation began, Ai Shiping could give strength to Amber, allowing Amber to beco the “God of Supre Pinnacle,” “God of Eternal Perfection,” which ans Ai Shiping was already a genuine world first at that ti. This fits a transmigrator’s power.

And back then, let alone humans… Even elfs were barely newly born.

The Hourglass hadn’t yet Absolute Heaven and Earth, the Second Sun wasn’t shattered into scattered stars by the Supre Heaven.

Ai Shiping, living in That Era, had probably not entirely shed his mortal nature. He didn’t need to repeatedly sever the serpent’s tail to maintain humanity… at that ti would he, as the Reincarnation Celestial Marshal, have soone he loved?

—If I were him at that ti, who would I love?

For the first ti, Aiwass actively swapped perspectives to think—he placed himself in the position of his nesis the Serpent Celestial Marshal for the first ti, contemplating the question “if I were him, what would I do?”

As he faced this question squarely, the answer beca so clear.

—Amber.

Nine cycles of reincarnation, not only the Reincarnation Celestial Marshal seeking a salvation thod suffered most painfully, but also the Amber who in the last mont had to press the reset button, obliterating everything to start again. If Amber hesitated, then all would be lost. And Amber herself was the closest to the Path of Nihility, the most likely to be tainted Pillar God.

Her responsibilities were infinitely crucial. It’s no exaggeration to say that the world’s continuation depended on Amber’s single thought.

If Aiwass were Ai Shiping, he could only entrust the authority of reincarnation to the person he most trusted.

Referring to the present would be Isabel.

Referring to the past…

—It would be Amber.

“So that’s how it is…”

Aiwass murmured softly.

At that mont, he suddenly understood why the Serpent Celestial Marshal would beco so insane and persistent.

If one day, he had to eternally seal Isabel… keeping her conscious, and every ten thousand years having to reset everything, like that repeating for ninety thousand years… perhaps he would go mad too.

It was precisely because of absolute trust that the Serpent Celestial Marshal initially chose to entrust power and responsibility to Amber while searching for a way out; and it was precisely because he couldn’t find a way out that he beca so desperate with his past self, and now becos so extre as Amber can no longer hold on.

Everything is aningless.

All sacrifices are aningless, all continuations are aningless, all life and death are aningless;

Moreover… all love is aningless.

By denying himself, the Serpent Celestial Marshal had already fallen into the trap of “Void”; and when the Serpent Celestial Marshal must step into the realm of Void, it ensured that he cannot escape the cycle of this agony’s reincarnation.

The nine cycles of reincarnation are about to end, and on the last day of 1999, Amber shall shatter.

Just like a couple mountain climbing who encountered disaster. The girl gives all resources and tools to the boy, asking him to seek rescue, and save herself by bringing back help. But nine days passed, not to ntion finding rescue… even the boy himself couldn’t get out.

He knew the girl was already destined to die, to make her death aningful—for the sake of seeking “aning,” he must escape no matter what. For this, he would draw dry the Source River, destroying the possibility of this world.

And this “seeking aning” was because he had already fallen into dusk without realizing.

He loathed Void, and to prevent himself from falling into Void, he was still desperately resisting the ‘aninglessness’ of the reality of nine cycles of reincarnation.

But the more he did this, the more his actions beca aningless.

Overwhelming despair.

“Void in quest of aning… So that’s how it is.”

Aiwass finally understood the chanism of the “Curtain of Destiny.”

—Fate is the embodint of the Power of Nihility!

Finally, the last piece of the puzzle was complete.

If Aiwass was indeed past Ai Shiping, Sherlock was past Lucifer, Isabel was past Amber… then it all matched up.

Aiwass could finally comprehend what the Serpent Celestial Marshal was doing.

Why he was so indifferent, why so insane, why so selfish… why he declined to accept when there was a possibility of transcending the shackles of Void.

Is he really Aiwass?

Now, Aiwass could be certain—he indeed was himself.

Everyone was trapped in the eternal cycle of fateful loops. Just seeking aning to resist Void would inherently fall into “aninglessness.” This is the apocalyptic demon known as “the more known, the more cannot resist,” just like the lie of the Grey Celestial Marshal.

The infinite loop of fate allowed the entire world’s aning to be chewed, worn down by invisible nihilistic magical beasts.

If this demon god of dusk has a power belonging to this world, it can only be the “fate” itself.

And the most fitting na for Him…

—is the Ring of Ouroboros.

The na of the Pillar God the Serpent Celestial Marshal becos in the future!
