Chapter 1627: Chapter 311: The Extrely Fragile Balance Curtain

—This is the story of a God and a Knight.

Don Quixote is an illusory hero, a Knight who never truly existed. No past, no mory, no one rembers.

And Ottolucus is a God who controls lies, and nobody knows his true gender, appearance, personality, or identity.

Thus, the old friends and ntors reunite here, and the legacy severed by ti continues once more.

The harmony between them could be described as perfect.

Aiwass hadn’t even seen the Grey Celestial Marshal’s Celestial Marshal Shard before it had already rged directly with Don Quixote.

And precisely because their harmony is so high, the power reduction of the Grey Celestial Marshal is remarkably low.

The strengthened Don Quixote, just by being present on the field, can absorb all damage, ignoring angle and quantity.

This chanism of “substitution of damage” is quite noble. It doesn’t require provocation, blocking, or even active release.

And as long as he dies once, he can permanently beco immune to this type of damage—doesn’t this an taking such damage equates to no damage at all?

In essence, it’s not just him being immune to this type of damage… it directly spreads this immunity to the entire team!

This power, compared to previously only being able to summon a one-ti shield, is ten tis stronger or more?

Even without considering the divine authority he obtained from the Grey Celestial Marshal, this already is an enhancent of the tamorphosis level.

In addition, Aiwass noticed a detail.

Originally, Don Quixote’s Sin Card was called “Holy Sword Holding,” and his true position ability was called “All Nothing”; but now he is called “Illusory Don Quixote,” and his true position ability is the Twelve Trials of Heracles.

—The previous Don Quixote didn’t even consider himself a Great Sin Beast. He thought of himself rely as a fictional existence, nothing more than the “holder” of the Golden Sword, not even its owner or Sword Spirit, having nothing at all. And the one truly having power was rely this Holy Sword, not the one within it.

This undoubtedly is an expression of low self-regard.

Compared to that righteous spirit that despises all evil, this low awareness of himself seems overly abnormal. In Aiwass’s view, this might be because Don Quixote knew that the foundation of his existence was the soul of Heracles. In other words, Don Quixote might have viewed the death of Heracles as the price of his own existence; thus considering his existence as his original sin.

With his kind of unyielding spirit that allows no evil, not allowing his sin… this is entirely possible.

Now, Don Quixote finally faced his true self and acknowledged his existence.

He indeed is an illusory existence, but there is no doubt he truly exists.

Even Heracles’s dear friend and ntor, the Grey Celestial Marshal, recognized his existence—

Thus, the part of Heracles’s power that had always been within him fused with him once more.

When the gray mist dissipates, Don Quixote re-erges.

His initially extravagant silvery-white armor disappears, transforming into a moon-white high-collared robe.

The forr Don Quixote, adorned in magnificent and sacred armor—a full-covered silvery-white armor, with a thorny halo floating behind his head. But his appearance was never visible… because he was rely the “Holy Sword Holding,” just a replaceable symbol.

And now, Don Quixote finally reveals his appearance.

His jet-black wavy long hair neatly hangs over his shoulders, his deep green pupils bright as stars.

That lean cheek slightly hollow, and his spine straight. He exudes a sharpness as if carved by a knife.

And now he wears a moon-white robe, holding a large tower shield that covers his foot in his left hand, while his right hand alone grasps the Holy Sword.

The brilliant, saint-like moon-white halo still appears behind his head, having enlarged into a silver-white thorny patterned ring.

Current Don Quixote no longer resembles a Knight, but sowhat looks like a Law Enforcer. His gaze remains brilliant and sharp, but it has lost so of its reckless and frenzied fervor, becoming calr and deeper.

Or rather, like a “Governor”. As if the once illusory Knight has finally awakened from his dream.

At this mont, a blinding four-color iridescent light, with a grey-white foggy nova, sweeps toward all directions—

As the Radiance of the Geotric Celestial Marshal washed over the land, the four elents beca extraordinarily active and chaotic—ponds turned muddy, whirlwinds rose from flat ground, storms ignited into infernos turning into fire storms, and where these flas passed, the surroundings beca moist… all Transcendents had their previously empty four-elent Mana Pools instantly refilled; but once the Grey Celestial Marshal’s Radiance swept over again, these anomalies returned to normal, the anomalies of the Material Realm hidden once more.

Though mortals might not have seen it. Because sunlight obscured the Radiance of the stars.

But in that mont, Aiwass detected a celestial anomaly.

Just now, a dense web of hidden fissures ford in the starry curtain.

[Path of Adaptation, Path of Wisdom surpass their limits, the Material Realm is about to ascend—]

[Ascended Path reaches six pillars, the Lunar Eclipse Ceremony will no longer proceed]

[Three Celestial Marshal Positions are vacant and will be selected from already ascended paths]

[The power of Adaptation is boiling over, the nine rivers of the paths grow ever more torrential—]

[Starting today, the life force of all Transcendents in the Material Realm will triple, with increased resistance to disease and poison]

[The barriers between the Dream Realm and the Material Realm grow thin, giving ordinary people the potential to gain prophetic abilities]

[The power of Wisdom is boiling over, the nine rivers of the paths grow ever more torrential—]

[Starting today, the learning speed of ordinary people will double, and the learning speed of Transcendents will double again]

[The barriers between the Dream Realm and the Material Realm grow extrely thin, giving Transcendents the potential to learn extraordinary skills across paths]

[—The Balance Law has been updated, a new point of balance has been established]

As the Grey Celestial Marshal and Geotric Celestial Marshal returned the power they held within the Source River to the Material Realm, the forces of the Material Realm grew greater. And the Balance Curtain, full of cracks, slowly began to heal once more.

Though not everyone is like a dragon, at least it is a genuine world ascension.

Originally, the Extraordinary Power of the Material Realm had been almost entirely separated into the Dream Realm, with only a few Transcendents able to gain so “possibilities” through mysterious knowledge. This was a “firewall” created to prevent the Void from infecting the Material Realm.

Thus, the Material Realm beca a simple “screening institution,” like a college entrance exam—rely to filter out souls with the appropriate qualifications, who would then gain true extraordinary power after entering the Dream Realm.

The forr Material Realm was like the residue left on coffee filter paper. The soul, resembling hot water, would dissolve so power into the Dream Realm after a rinse in the Material Realm.

Although over long periods of ti, steam arising from below would make the residue slightly moistened again… but with the repeated washing of soul after soul, the total extraordinary power of the Material Realm was, in truth, decreasing.

This was the initial doomsday plan of the Hourglass, also the original intention for establishing the Balance Curtain.

—Let the souls enter the Material Realm, then receive the seeds of power from the Dream Realm to grow gradually. The strongest among them beco Phantom Demons, permanently staying in the Material Realm. Souls without qualifications for transcendence are broken and recreated as new life… As generations pass, the souls able to wield extraordinary power beco fewer, and the extraordinary power obtainable by the Material Realm becos less.

Ultimately, this world could beco a no-magic world like “Earth” in Aiwass’s mory. Like coffee grounds rinsed countless tis, becoming dry residue without any flavor to extract.

At that ti, the Hourglass would completely seal the Balance Curtain, permanently severing the connection between the Dream Realm and the Material Realm.

In doing so, even if the Void Whisper were to devour the entire Dream Realm, it would be impossible to infect the Material Realm. Because all extraordinary power had been fully reclaid by the Dream Realm…

While this might be considered a kind of self-degeneration, at least mortals could survive.

Granted, the costs might be high, but at least it was indeed a feasible salvation plan.

—All of this mirrors the dispute at the beginning of creation between the Hourglass and the Serpent Father.

Both maintained their original beliefs. This is why any power exceeding the limits in the Material Realm would be attacked and sealed by the Hourglass’s Angel Envoy… The Hourglass’s constant mission was to purify the Material Realm, “deEnchant” the entire world.

What the Serpent Celestial Marshal and Aiwass have done is undoubtedly to break the Hourglass’s plan.

Yet, the Hourglass did not stop the Ring of Ouroboros.

“Perhaps it could also be said… that the Hourglass has also abandoned its original plan?”

Aiwass thought.

Now, only the Path of Beauty, Path of Balance, and War Path’s Celestial Marshals have yet to return their power.

Just as the full moon ceremony had described—

Complete all nine, be blessed by six, abandon the three.

When the Celestial Marshals returning the power reached six paths, it activated the chanism of the “Full Moon Ceremony”!

Hence, the New Moon Ritual can no longer proceed. And the Source River has split into three new Celestial Marshal Shards, everything moving toward a more vital direction.

—Three vacant divine positions!

Though Aiwass does not know when the Transcendents will realize this great opportunity…

Undoubtedly, the entire Material Realm has now entered a grand “Ascension Ritual”!

This is the very symbol of the Power of Transcendence of the Serpent Father fully imrsing the Material Realm!
