Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 880 I will treat you
Aiwass knew that what Master Chongbo said was probably correct.

This should be the reason why Yi Tiansi and Huan Tiansi pursued the eleventh source river - as long as the power is obtained within the world, it is impossible to surpass the world itself. Without breaking the limit, it is naturally impossible to violate the law.

Because Aiwass remembered very clearly... how the "Aiwass" in the game died. When he was still relatively weak, he would occasionally have such nightmares.

The one who finally killed Aiwass was his elder brother Edward, who was brought by his adoptive father. Under the guidance of his adoptive father James, he merged the dragon heart of the "Disaster Dragon", held the contaminated broken holy sword "Sword in the Stone", and then absorbed three fragments of the Celestial Master. At that time, he had completely exceeded the strength limit that this world could accommodate, and even the Pillar God could not directly attack him in the material world!

So in order to fight against Moriarty, the pillar gods gave their own artifacts to the players.

In this situation, it is still quite difficult to fight against Edward.

Is Edward stronger than the Pillar God? Of course it is impossible, but the material world itself has the world limit anchored by the Sand Clock. Even the strength of the lower world Tianshi is not as strong as Edward who piles up the strength - this is probably why when approaching the world limit, it will be restricted by the Sand Clock. The power of the Tianshi itself is also suppressed, but Edward, who is not at the maximum level, can exert a miraculous power beyond the limit!

Now looking back, the Night Demon, who reached the sixth energy level due to Aiwass's pastoral training, was also restricted because of this; but Master Chongbo, who could use the power of the seventh energy level, was not restricted...

...I see. So that’s why it’s impossible to upgrade to the top level?
The last level cannot be upgraded, but must be stacked up with various bonuses. This is the only way to achieve miracle power without being forced to balance by the sand clock.

No wonder the last level of the Eternal Pope relies on the Holy Crown...

But Aiwass caught another detail from Master Chongbo's words - he seemed to know that the level cap can be raised.

Even Professor James, who came from another world line, didn't know this!
Those demonologists who were preparing for the Tail Ring ceremony probably didn't know the principle of their energy level increase. In fact, the entire world had raised its upper limit...

Most people probably wouldn't even think of this possibility - the upper limit of the energy level of the material world is the sixth energy level. The more you understand mysticism, the more you should believe it. Because from the earliest past to the present, this upper limit has never changed. Just like people don't seriously think about "If gravity is reversed, what should people do to survive?" At most, they can only think about it as a "possibility".

Aiwass looked at Master Chongbo deeply, but Master Chongbo did not reply.

Instead, he shifted his gaze and looked at the ruins of the Tower of Babel in front of him.

"be careful."

Master Chongbo warned: "Since this history has been preserved intact, it means that it is possible that... it is still in operation."

"Will there be any living people?"

Kitty asked nervously.

Chongbo shook his head: "Probably not... probably."

"……perhaps?"

The Drifter questioned, "What does 'probably' mean?"

"The preservation technique also has its limits. Since the wizards back then were able to preserve this period of time and space completely, there is a high probability that there are no living people in it. Because if you want to preserve a mortal with a short lifespan, the complexity will increase significantly."

This was not a response from Chongbo, but from Baike, the dream-wandering monk. Apparently, the knowledge he collected should also include some tantras related to "preservation techniques": "Just like if you want to preserve a piece of meat for a few months, you need to freeze it in a refrigerator. Such a sealed, cold environment can preserve food for a long time. If you can remove the 'wind' and 'water' elements that symbolize flow and change, and turn meat and vegetables into dried meat and vegetables, they can even be easily preserved for several years.

"——But if you want to use this kind of container to preserve a living person, it is completely impossible. The 'preservation power' inside will kill the living person. And if you want to make a container that can preserve a living person, the cost will increase many times.

"Since they have already caused a miracle of this scale... I think they should not have the energy to save all the mages inside. On the other hand, if they can do this, it seems that they don't need to save this piece of time and space. They can just find a way to survive, right?"

Baike's reasoning was quite rational, and everyone nodded.

His understanding of preservation techniques was not deep enough to comprehend how the ancient wizards preserved this broken space-time...but from the perspective of human motivation, if they could preserve the living as well, then there would be no "necessity" to preserve the complete space-time.

"But there is another possibility."

Zhengsine pushed up his glasses. The old wizard with white hair and beard, who looked like an old professor, habitually said, "The preservation spell can freeze a person into an ice sculpture or petrify them into a stone statue, and they can spend a longer time in this state.

"When I was young, I saw an ancient guard who had been petrified for hundreds of years in a ruin. His time was frozen, so he lived until now. Although the long-term petrification polluted his soul and made him extremely inclined to the Twilight Path, he is indeed alive in my Mage Tower."

"Your mage tower?" Rogue caught the key words.

"...My teacher's mage tower."

Sine emphasized: "But I am the chief wizard, the first heir to the Wizard Tower."

"The heir with a white beard?"

The wanderer sneered: "I heard that many wizard lords have regained their youth. Your teacher is not one of them? He has lived longer than you, right?"

"...Hmph!" Rurouni's words seemed to hurt Sine's heart.

He snorted coldly, his face became serious, and he said seriously: "That's because I don't want to accept the filthy blood of the Son of the Moon! How can there be such a good thing in this world? Without the adaptability of the Path of Love, you can also get the longevity and youth of the Son of the Moon. If there is such a good thing, why would it be the turn of the Narcissus Principality?

"This must have a price, but the price has not yet appeared!"

"I think it's just that you weren't chosen by your teacher."

Rurouni laughed, "After all, if he could live forever, there would be no need to choose an heir, right?"

Zhu Tang also nodded and agreed, "Indeed, if the emperor can live forever, then what is the use of the prince? If the country still needs to be passed down, won't there be a bunch of old emperors who are not dead and give orders after a few generations?

"As a minister, I definitely hope that there is only one monarch. It is always easier to satisfy one monarch than to satisfy a bunch of conflicting monarchs. Every change in power means change and chaos... and only those who hope to climb up by any means will look forward to the arrival of chaos."

"——But this situation is indeed possible."

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Aiwas began to advise and gave people a photo of a calming blessing, which instantly calmed everyone down: "After you go in, be careful of various sculptures, stone statues, and paintings. Don't touch them randomly. If you encounter anything suspicious, don't investigate it on your own. The living may not have it, but there may be automatic defense devices..."

"——As for the trap," Koneko said softly, "I can handle it."

She was clearly confident.

"Then please open the door."

Aiwass looked at the "survival expert" Wanderer and said softly: "Don't be afraid. If you are injured, I will heal you."

As an adapter and a "survival expert" who emphasizes survival ability, he has some predictive ability of a prophet or astrologer. It is obviously safest to let him explore the way.

And Rogue has obviously adapted to this kind of team positioning long ago.

He nodded and walked in front without thinking, and the kitten followed.

He studied the door lock briefly, and after confirming that it was not linked to any alarm, mechanism or other spell, he stepped aside and let the kitten open the door lock.

The kitten's hands moved like magic, and the door was unlocked easily. The electric light that was originally flowing on it was extinguished.

Then she pulled up her hood, and her whole body faded and disappeared like smoke, quietly shrinking back to the center of the crowd.

The wanderer pushed the door open without thinking.

"anyone there!"

He stood at the door and shouted.

After waiting for a few seconds and realizing that his sense of crisis had not been triggered, he turned around and said, "No one heard my call. There must be no one left..."

Rurouni said this and took a few steps forward.

He had taken less than five steps when he suddenly started to shudder.

He suddenly stretched out his left hand to block in front of him, and jumped back instantly!
But even so, a sharp arc of red light still appeared out of nowhere and instantly cut off his left arm!
Because it was so fast, so quick that he didn't even feel the pain.

However, the terrifying heat still accumulated in his broken arm.

"This is--"

But just as he screamed, his wound that was instantly sealed by the high temperature suddenly began to emit a brilliant light, and the high temperature accumulated inside turned into warm running water and disappeared completely.

The strange suction force sucked the broken arm flying in the air back directly, blocking the light.

And when the light completely dissipated, his left arm had recovered!

From the attack to the broken arm to recovery, the whole process took not even a second!
If his arm guard hadn't still smelled burnt, he might even have thought it was just an illusion!
"I said it all."

Aiwass slowly put down his left hand and said calmly: "Don't panic.

"I will heal you."
