Chapter 1637: Chapter 320: The New Seventh Pillar God
Just as the Knight Heavenly Department said… looking at the current situation, it indeed is unnecessary for Aiwass to risk his life again.
After the Silver-Crowned Dragon and the Knight Heavenly Department joined the battlefield, the initially slight advantage of Uranus swiftly transformed into an overwhelming victory—
Without needing to make any extraordinary sacrifices or contributions, just drawing attention was enough.
When the seven-headed Red Dragon had to divert part of its attention to these two “Fusion Summon” and “Combined Evolution” Authority Pathway Heavenly Masters, it meant Uranus was completely freed.
As Uranus raised his hand—a concavity appeared in the sky of the Dream Realm, rolling over, with thunder across the sky eagerly responding to his summons, pouring down like torrential rain!
From Aiwass’s perspective, the Red Dragon had completely transformed into a dazzling tree of light and flames.
The gathered thunder from all directions converged here.
Each thunderbolt was a full-strength strike from Uranus. These piercing spears and captivating blades descending from the sky completely covered the body of the Red Dragon!
In an instant, the seven-headed Dragon had all its heads severed!
Its original body was entirely lost, leaving only a large, worm-like mass of squirming, linear flesh, attempting to form a new shape. But the Silver-Crowned Dragon, unhesitatingly under the guidance and direction of the Knight Heavenly Department, rushed over and began to unleash its extremely cold frosty breath, extinguishing the vitality it didn’t contribute much to!
After such a grand strike, Uranus’s body also finally reached its limit.
The great King of the Winged Ones thus stood in the air, slowly losing his life.
His skin and flesh became completely overloaded, turning into a deep, lustrous dark red, resembling some kind of jewel used as a sacrifice. And inside this jewel, countless golden streaks resembling lightning were embedded, shining and gradually merging, thickening and growing brighter.
As the cracks lit up, small golden fragments fell like snow.
Uranus’s body gradually turned to void. Or in other words, the void within his shell was gradually leaking out of control.
Yet, as Uranus continually shattered, he let out a hearty laugh.
“Hahaha!”
Uranus, one hand gripping his Spear of Destiny, raised it high like a pioneer’s banner.
He proudly announced to the sky: “Look! I have conquered another Pillar God—”
Hearing this, Aiwass flew over, standing shoulder to shoulder with Uranus.
He hesitated for a moment but then asked the former “Great Sage,” who probably wouldn’t live another half a minute, the answer he most cared about: “When do you plan to return?”
“…Return?”
It was instead Uranus who looked at Aiwass with some surprise.
“Once I conquer the void and establish the starting point of a miracle… the Source River will flow again.”
Aiwass softly said to this respectable elder: “When that time comes, you can return too—the Grey Celestial Marshal and the Geometric Celestial Marshal are eyeing the Twelfth Pathway. After the miracle, what follows is hope…”
“…Hope?”
Upon hearing this, Uranus merely smiled silently.
He lowered the spear he held high, pointing it towards the ground.
“I feel that I and hope—at least do not quite go hand in hand.”
The Great Sage, like an affable elderly grandfather, reached out and patted Aiwass’s shoulder, especially the wings behind Aiwass, laughing with extreme freedom: “I won’t be coming back. This world ultimately belongs to you younger folks… besides, I’m already tired.”
As he said this, his arms completely collapsed.
“Not coming back, does it mean…”
Aiwass was moved upon hearing this.
The Great Sage had been silent for so many years…
Now, in the first hour of speaking again, he would face complete death?
“Eventually, we are the tainted. As the Silver-Crowned Dragon said, we are all Unclean Gods.”
The Great Sage calmly stated: “If we reincarnate into the Material Realm in the stance of a Phantom Demon Egg like other Phantom Demons—that probably wouldn’t be good. Perhaps this is the void’s scheme to infiltrate the Material Realm.
“Therefore, I won’t be coming back. Only when I thoroughly die can Odin truly become the Great Sage, right? Otherwise, he’d only be a stand-in for me. Clearing out the polluted knowledge is something I can do.”
By the time Uranus said this, he had fragmented down to only a head suspended in the air.
He left no last words, just smiled freely at Aiwass.
These tens of thousands of years of time thus condensed in his heart. Aiwass didn’t know his thoughts and ideas at this moment…just felt that Uranus had a sense of particularly lighthearted relief.
Immediately after, that head abruptly shattered!
Leaving only an abstract rune akin to a blue sun, quietly spinning in front of Aiwass.
This was the Celestial Marshal Shard of the Great Sage.
Aiwass reached out his hand, and it spun over to him on its own, imprinting in Aiwass’s eyes.
[Celestial Marshal Shard – Fragment of Mystery and Magic]
[The Law of Mystery and Magic, the lingering power of the Secret Heavenly Master. Properly using it gives a chance to become the Secret Heavenly Master or the Magic Heavenly Master.]
The Secret Heavenly Master—
That should have been the respected name during the brief time the Great Sage became the Celestial Marshal.
Because this was not a death under the Ouroboros Ring ritual, the Great Sage’s death did not affect the ritual outcome, nor was there a notice from the Hourglass. It counts as a kickback received by Aiwass himself.
Later, this can be shown to Sherlock. Aiwass thought.
And at this moment, the prey, Red Calamity, also finally ceased its last struggle.
The Holy Sword that divided realms cut open the Red Dragon’s “chest,” and the breath of the Silver-Crowned Dragon entirely killed him.
This was not because he possessed great power but because “he is he.” When the Silver-Crowned Dragon acted to annihilate Red Calamity, it meant even he, the previous owner of this body, had voluntarily relinquished the last possibility of survival.
As is said, why Your Majesty surrendered early—when Authority gave up on war, if the war didn’t reverse in a takeover, he knew he couldn’t continue either.
By this time, the Seat of the Pillar God had completed its succession.
The heavens and earth of the Dream Realm quaked in response.
And the Dream Traversing Monks were even more astonished.
The Pillar God of the War Path, who had not been in office for even a month, had already swiftly stepped down!
The death of the Red Dragon was not surprising—many were already discontent with the Red Dragon’s “political stance.” But its demise so quickly was indeed a shock.
Even the ousted prince shouldn’t have been overthrown so quickly!
At this moment, knights, cavalry, soldiers, officers, and Legal Mages worldwide seemed to hear a voice in the dark.
No matter their prior occupation… regardless of whether it was during the Silver-Crowned Dragon’s era or Red Calamity’s era of Transcendent, the new Pillar God acknowledged their power. Not only did he not strip or suppress it, but he also offered encouragement and acceptance.
Warmer than Authority, more compassionate than war.
It was violence based on the civilization Source River.
Under the influence of Guinevere, this dual-faced Pillar God had an unprecedented capacity for inclusion!
People, feeling the sudden surge of power within, feeling as though they resonated with others as one, voiced in unison to the new Pillar God:
“—I appeal to the Pure White Robe/Silver Crown, the God of the Holy Number of Seven.
“The God who sharpens the sword and lifts the shield, the God of Gathering and Unity—”
Simultaneously, a voice as sonorous as a massive bell rang out from the clouds:
[Path of Unity transcends limits, the Material Realm is about to upgrade—]
