"——Yan Tiansi?"
Sherlock responded.
If Aiwass hadn't mentioned the dwarves, he would have almost forgotten about them. Although there were some dwarves scattered in places like Avalon and Iris, most of them were still in seclusion in the northern mountains, with the cold wind blowing. Only the frost giants would accompany them to mine.
The dwarves have been cut off from the world for hundreds of years, and now no one knows what they are making.
Sherlock only learned from Aiwass that they seemed to be carrying out a "man-made pillar god" plan, which was to push Yan Tiansi, whom he believed in, to the position of pillar god.
"——In this case, will they pull Yan Tiansi down?"
Sherlock frowned, "This is unreasonable. Such an abnormally large-scale fall of the Tiansi obviously means that a major event has occurred... The chaos in the world is most likely to cause the replacement of the Pillar God. If I were a dwarf, the more this happens, the more I would try to protect the Yan Tiansi."
"That's if the dwarf is as smart as you."
Aiwas shook his head: "Yan Tiansi is one of the very few who follow the path of dedication - or rather, the only one who does not live with Sizhu. She actually does not agree with the theory of dedication..."
He told Shylock the secrets of the celestial beings and the pillar gods.
Of course, this is not a secret... Even Yan Tiansi himself respects Si Zhu very much, it’s just a difference in understanding of Yuanhe.
The chant to summon the Flame Celestial Master is "The Celestial Master of Iron and Steel, the Celestial Master of Crucibles and Furnaces", which does not mention "for others" at all. The Flame Celestial Master is gradually transforming her field into the "Mechanical Celestial Master", and if she completes it, she will undoubtedly become the Celestial Master most likely to take over the position of the Candle Master.
Because it is not wrong to say that fields such as "factories", "machinery", "production" and "war" are closer to the requirements of the source of "civilization" than "dedication" - helping each other is a kind of civilization, and technological iteration is also a kind of civilization. Moreover, as the world develops, technological progress is unstoppable.
Based on Yan Tiansi's theoretical system, the path of dedication itself hinders the evolution of civilization.
Because the path of dedication only helps, not eliminates.
Yan Tiansi's theory is very comprehensive.
It is close to the path of authority and adaptation, and touches the source of creation - emphasizing the survival of the fittest and how to become "the winner". War is also an aspect of civilization, an inevitable part of civilization's self-dissolution and self-renewal, just like animals always need to excrete. With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of productivity, the proportion of weak individuals in the concept of "civilization" will naturally decrease.
——Just like the automation of factories will eliminate the position of craftsmen in civilization. The more powerful the machinery, the more it will weaken the value and meaning of "dedication", "group" and "other". With further automation and unmanned operation, even the last "people" may no longer be needed.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Tiansi is stuck in the realm of Tiansi and has never been able to reach the realm of Zhushen.
He was already extremely close to the position of Pillar God... However, the further he went, the farther he seemed from the source of the river. The core of civilization was production and technology, but when this concept was strengthened to a certain extent, the power of "civilization" rapidly declined.
It is for this reason that Yan Tiansi stopped at this step, stood still, and began to reflect on where he went wrong.
"But the dwarves can't wait any longer."
Aiwass said sarcastically: “The world is in chaos now, they can’t help it.
"——Because there is another situation here. There are many 'blacksmith' professions among the dwarves. If the Flame God is conquered like the Fallen God and the Blood God, it will lead to an increase in the energy level of the Path of Devotion... It also means that their own energy level can be improved.
"And if Yan Tiansi can communicate in a friendly manner, their skills will be greatly improved; and the most crucial secret..."
Aiwas looked at the Tiansi fragment in his hand and said, “That is the Tiansi fragment.
"Without the Tail Ring, it is basically impossible to obtain this thing from the material world. Only an unparalleled genius can resonate with a trace of law in the source river of the dream world and then be favored by the fragment of the Heavenly Master... Of course, we all know that this 'genius' is just a compliment. There is actually only one way to truly obtain the fragment of the Heavenly Master."
"--luck."
Sherlock also knew the answer: "Other methods are just to maximize the element of luck. No matter how powerful a soul is, it is still possible that it will not be favored by the Heavenly Master Fragments... just like Xiong Tiansi had to plunder the Heavenly Master Fragments himself back then. If one can obtain the Heavenly Master Fragments with enough talent, then Xiong Tiansi, as the reincarnation of the Supreme Heaven, should become a Heavenly Master when he enters the Dream World."
"Yes, plunder..."
Aiwas narrowed his eyes: "That's it. And for the dwarves, if Yan Tiansi is really disobedient...
"...They can also use this fragment of the Celestial Master to create a Celestial Master that truly belongs to the dwarves, thus fulfilling their racial mission.
"It's the same with Anxi."
Aiwas thought of the letter he received, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "The Good Lord is the one who signed the contract with Yuan Tiansi. Although some of them are also on the path of balance, the path of transcendence, or the path of love, etc., the proportion of the path of dusk among them is 100%.
"Now that the limits of the Path of Transcendence and the Path of Love have been lifted... chaos is coming. Some cities have their own sixth energy level, while others do not. So when do you think they will pull Yuan Tiansi down?"
"When there is no sixth-level city that can no longer be defended."
Sherlock replied nonchalantly: "So I said... the world is going to be in chaos."
This level of reasoning didn't even require him to use his brain.
"Then shall we go to rest?"
Isabel was a little worried.
"Go, why not?"
Aiwass smiled and said, "I have Vignes and Aleister..."
As he spoke, Aiwass brought the Sin Card that Aleister was staying in into contact with the fragment of the Celestial Master.
"——What should I be afraid of?"
The moment the two came into contact, they both burst out with dazzling red light.
The card, which was as transparent as a pink diamond, originally had a fox's head outlined in blood-red...but now it had turned into a picture depicting Aleister's appearance.
Then, Aleister appeared.
Unlike Vignes who has grown mature, Aleister has become younger.
And brand new characters were gradually imprinted onto the system one word at a time, like electric welding - not emerging, but being created.
