Chapter 1659: Chapter 336: The Celestial Marshal of the Butterfly’s tamorphosis

No wonder the Defiant Fla Butterfly possesses the Non-Burning Power and Power of Conflict, powers that belong to The Sun.

It turns out it is the true Son of the Sun.

This is also the vocation Sherlock ascended to at the ti, “Mithridates” — Son of Mithra!

However…

Aiwass couldn’t help but feel so concern.

… Is the Butterfly Celestial Marshal really in the Dream Realm now?

The Butterfly Celestial Marshal holds the Power of Shedding Skin, and it will leave behind its power and shell, reincarnating its soul into a mortal stripped of all power.

After living an ordinary life, it will “rember” its true identity and past powers and then return to the Dream Realm to beco a new “butterfly.” This is what Zhuang Zhou’s butterfly dream is all about… Zhuang Zhou was once one of the Butterfly Celestial Marshal’s lifetis.

That is why it is the Celestial Marshal that changes most easily in appearance.

Sotis it is a beautiful maiden, sotis a noble matron, sotis a handso youth, and sotis an old yet composed elder…

—Just as The Sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. Each sunrise is always different.

Grandfather Jacob ntioned before—before Aiwass was born, the Butterfly Celestial Marshal was reincarnating, leaving only an empty shell in the Dream Realm.

Normally, the Butterfly Celestial Marshal would hide itself before reincarnating. The leftover shell in the Dream Realm would still contain power and could automatically respond to prayers and rituals, making it impossible for anyone to determine if the Celestial Marshal is reincarnating through whether it responds—this is a security asure.

After all, if the Butterfly Celestial Marshal’s reincarnation is discovered, its incarnation in the Material Realm would be in danger.

By deducing the ti it was out of contact, one could identify potential existences in the Material Realm. After finding the reincarnated Celestial Marshal, even without ill intentions, one could form a bond—which at least ensures one’s soul would not vanish after death. If malicious, one might even use this identity to perform so rituals…

Jacob once said, “The Serpent Celestial Marshal and the Butterfly Celestial Marshal were close, so the Serpent Celestial Marshal took its unclaid body and gave it to Jacob to create Aiwass.” The relationship between the “so” before and after this is sowhat strange… unless Jacob omitted half of the logic.

—Precisely because the Serpent Celestial Marshal and the Butterfly Celestial Marshal were close, the Butterfly Celestial Marshal left its discarded skin in the realm of the Serpent Celestial Marshal!

That’s why the Serpent Celestial Marshal could take its unclaid body… because the Butterfly Celestial Marshal didn’t really need this avatar, it was just used to confuse the ti of its reincarnation. There wouldn’t be much of a problem if the Serpent Celestial Marshal took it after a period of ti post-reincarnation. The Serpent Celestial Marshal wouldn’t reveal this secret to outsiders anyway.

So then…

Now twenty years have passed. Has the Serpent Celestial Marshal, which was reincarnating at that ti, now returned to its position?

If he can’t determine if the Butterfly Celestial Marshal is reincarnating, it would an that the Defiant Fla Butterfly could not ascend in its most perfect form.

Because the Fla Celestial Marshal’s Shard could obviously help Liya ascend, and facing the world’s catastrophic destruction, Grey would certainly be willing to lend the Celestial Marshal Shard to him. The Fla Celestial Marshal’s Shard could definitely align with the Defiant Fla Butterfly.

But Aiwass thought about it carefully and let out a sigh of relief.

He realized his worries might be unnecessary—

Because Aiwass rembered a small incident.

Last year, out of a mont of kindness, he chose to help Old g use the Technique of Transformation to extend her life. And the Technique of Transformation happens to require the power of the Butterfly Celestial Marshal.

The Serpent Celestial Marshal had already taken all those remnants, so Aiwass being able to summon the power of the Butterfly Celestial Marshal at that ti indicated the Butterfly Celestial Marshal had already returned to its position!

“… Unexpectedly, just a small good deed done on a whim back then, has now turned out to be so crucial.”

Aiwass sighed.

“A small good deed?”

Morgan looked puzzled by Aiwass’ reaction.

So Aiwass explained his thoughts to the friendly witch.

Although Morgan’s reputation wasn’t great, and in reality, she wasn’t a good person, Aiwass still trusted her quite a bit. This feeling of being able to join hands regardless of good or evil, regardless of position, as the end approaches, made Aiwass quite invigorated.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Aiwass’ words, Morgan’s expression turned a bit strange.

“The Butterfly Celestial Marshal indeed ca back, or rather…”

“…or rather?”

“Yes, she actually returned after you were born. Or you could say, the Serpent Celestial Marshal decided to create you at that ti because the Butterfly Celestial Marshal was about to return.”

“What does ‘or rather’ an?”

Aiwass pressed on.

He needed to get to the bottom of this.

As Morgan was the socialite of the Dream Realm, she clearly knew many secrets that so angels, Celestial Marshals, and even Pillar Gods were unaware of.

“This can’t really be considered a secret.”

Morgan chuckled and shrugged, then posed another question: “Do you know when The Winter Maiden ascended?”

“Between 1640 and 1660, the youngest daughter of Valentine I. She was even younger than her brother’s daughter.”

Aiwass said subconsciously but quickly realized: “Could it be…?”

“Let correct you—though The Winter Maiden died at that ti, she didn’t beco an angel then. Of course, she didn’t achieve Celestial Marshal status because the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal favored her.”

Morgan’s lips curled up slightly: “Don’t forget… The Winter Maiden didn’t achieve angel status as a ‘soul of the deceased,’ but as an ‘undead.'”

Undead…?

Aiwass suddenly rembered sothing—the Winter Maiden couldn’t speak and had no wisdom!

And there was sothing he had heard not long after entering the Extraordinary World—

—The person whose body survives death is stripped of the fourfold domain, and the person whose soul survives death is stripped of the sixfold domain!

So she was not among the living, but a ghost without a body!

Can an undead beco a god?

Seeing Aiwass’s shocked reaction, Morgan was very happy: “Yes, the actual ti she beca an angel was only nineteen years ago. To be precise, it was then that she was drawn into the Dream Realm by amberfication.”

“Even if the Butterfly Celestial Marshal wasn’t successfully pulled down… the Winter Celestial could be dragged down as a backup plan in the second round of the Ring of Ouroboros ritual. She had no intellect, couldn’t speak, and had no desire to attack, making her the easiest Celestial Marshal to defeat. So in that respect, you have nothing to worry about.”

“…Nineteen years ago.”

Aiwass murmured, suddenly enlightened.

All the puzzles were solved!

No wonder the Winter Maiden simply ‘died at the right ti’ and achieved the accolade of Celestial Marshal—not because she died at the right ti, but because she beca a ghost at the right ti!

It was precisely because she beca a ghost at that ti, trapping the Butterfly Celestial Marshal, that allowed Aiwass to be born at that mont.

If the Winter Maiden hadn’t chosen to bury herself in a coffin, transforming her sorrow into a ghost, the Butterfly Celestial Marshal would return early. And if the Butterfly Celestial Marshal returned early, a part of the ‘Butterfly Celestial Marshal’ shard would be missing from the construction of Aiwass, thus lacking part of the ‘Sun’ concept.

If that were the case, Aiwass might not be able to build the current system of abilities, thus only advancing to another world line as the Master of Beasts…

It was also because Aiwass showed the potential of a Savior; with the prophecy fulfilled, The Winter Maiden had the possibility of ascending to the Winter Celestial. Because of this, the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal would bestow upon The Winter Maiden the concept of the undead, along with the ‘Excavation Skill.’

However, it wasn’t to push The Winter Maiden down as a sacrifice for the Ring of Ouroboros ritual… but to bear the relics of the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal.

After the Butterfly Celestial Marshal entered the Dream Realm, thus leaving the corporeal realm, the remaining Winter Maiden beca a complete shell.

No one was more suitable to use the Excavation Skill than her. The Excavation Skill, the true na of Necromancy, signifies using what is already dead!

—And The Winter Maiden’s true identity was the cocoon of the butterfly.

Precisely a thing already dead!

This might be the reason the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal favored her, simply because she could beco a substitute for Amber.

If today’s amber is a forgotten cicada slough…

Then The Winter Maiden is that forgotten [Butterfly Slough].

And Aiwass, however, felt a kind of nearly overwhelming sympathy.

The Winter Celestial.

A Celestial Marshal born solely as a sacrifice and tool.

As a ghost Celestial Marshal, The Winter Celestial was not intended to possess intellect and speech—from the beginning her design was to ensure no connection with others would cause sorrow over her sacrifice; also, to prevent Void infection… After all, “it is speech that kills The Sun.” As the “Void Whisper,” the Void’s propagation thod is “whisper.”

Her end would either be to serve as a substitute for Amber, sealed alive in a pillar, or to be nourishnt for the Defiant Fla Butterfly, killed by Aiwass. And if Amber had not fallen, if all went according to Aiwass’s plan, then she would serve as the vessel for the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal’s power and, after the Celestial Marshal’s death, continue to wield the power of amberfication.

Just as when she still lived in the world—

rely existing as a “fuse,” a life without aning.

The reason for her existence was to die for a higher purpose.
