Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 703: The Gap between the Two Principles
Aiwass set up a simple altar in his bedroom and stepped onto it.

The altar is divided into three levels and consists of three rings.

On the four corners of the outermost altar, there are five rubies, five ambers, five blue crystals, and five emeralds, symbolizing fire, earth, water, and wind.

In the middle ring, there is a piece of ice between the earth and water, which means "cold"; there is a piece of fire between the wind and fire, which means "hot"; there is a pearl between the water and wind, which means "moist"; and there is a piece of loess between the earth and fire, which means "dry".

In the innermost ring is a round topaz.

Symbolizes balance.

When the altar took shape, the power of balance flowed within it - the four colors of light flowed back and forth like the glow of a sunset glow, and the room was filled with visions visible to the naked eye.

It was not until Aiwas stepped up one level at a time that his presence briefly destroyed the force of balance.

"——I pray to the god of the sand clock, whose sacred number is five!"

With every step he took, Aiwas called out loudly.

"The God of the Ultimate Heaven and Earth Connection, the God of All Harmony—

"Balanced Hourglass!"

When Aiwas stepped onto the highest level of the altar and called upon the holy name of the Sand Clock.

The truly powerful force of balance instantly submerged Lily and Selene who were watching the ceremony nearby.

Lily held her breath.

She clearly felt that all the strength in her body was restrained by a vast, invisible and colorless force.

That is a completely different experience from the forced seal of the authoritarian path.

It's not like it's locked up, nailed down, and ordered not to do this...

...but "perfect neutralization".

For example, if you can control fire, you can add the same coldness to it at the same speed and in the same amount. The power is still used, but it has no effect on the outside world... It's like asking a person to step on his right foot with his left foot, or to fish himself up with a fishing rod. That's naturally impossible.

The extraordinary power was covered by the overwhelming force of balance. Except for the force of balance, all other forces in the entire space were "forced to be neutralized".

In this area, any force must be ineffective... any spell will automatically collapse before it can be formed.

It was as if this was a world without any supernatural powers.

However, the power of balance itself alone has an overwhelming presence that covers everything.

Aiwass's whole body was submerged in the four-color glow.

But his consciousness briefly entered the gap between the material world and the dream world.

——Yes, it was the house that Morgan gave to him and Isabel.

As soon as Aiwas opened his eyes, he saw a thin old man in a yellow robe, with white hair and beard, looking around with his brows slightly frowned and a hint of disgust.

"Young man, take care of yourself."

Sha Shiji criticized lightly.

Aiwass noticed that the sand clock now has the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom.

This seems to be a scholarly personality that is relatively less easy to talk to, more rigorous and plain.

Therefore, Aiwass got down to business right away: "I want to use the [Gap between the Two Principles] now."

"Your path is very balanced now."

Sand Time didn't ask why, but just reminded.

"But later...I will wear the Holy Crown."

Aiwass replied: "Then my path will begin to become less balanced... and when I am asleep, I will no longer be able to summon you to divide me. If that happens, it may bring some hidden dangers or instability..."

"With me here, such low-level mistakes won't happen."

Sand Clock said calmly: "Even if you are wearing the Holy Crown, I can still carefully separate the other you..."

But the old man didn't say much, nor did he try to persuade Aiwass.

He just opened his sleeves slightly and spread his hands apart.

When he separated his hands, that empty thing that was neither black nor white, like a crack in the world, emerged from them again. "How do you want to cut it?"

Sand Clock asked calmly, "It must be the two paths of dedication and transcendence...besides that, is there anything else you need?"

"I am blessed with the Twin Mirror."

Aiwass hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "It can transform me into another race. But as long as I get seriously injured or hit by a blunt object... the 'mirror' will break."

"Yeah, illusory blood, I can see it."

The old man said in a calm tone, "Speaking of the point."

"I want to... separate reality from the mirror. I want to make the me in the mirror real..."

"You want the clone who transcends the path to become the child of the moon? Is that what you mean?"

Sand Timepiece summarized Aiwass's needs and provided a more precise and streamlined version.

"It would be best if I could switch back and forth among the three forms," ​​Aiwass emphasized hastily, "My Illusory Blood has three forms..."

"There has to be a main body. You can't split into three after being attacked, right?"

Sand Clock reminded: "You can use another image in daily activities. But there must always be a 'real you'... and let me remind you, because you need to separate yin and yang, the other you had better be female, so that it can be separated. Otherwise, you may have to split your personality... From my past experience, it is best not to make changes to your personality."

"Ok, I know."

Aiwass nodded: "Let's set the main body to be... the image of No. 14."

"That little girl, right? Adult men and women as avatars... Let me confirm, is this the way it is divided?"

"Yes, I confirm."

"What about those little cards of yours? As the power of the path to transcendence, will they all be distributed to this clone? Or will they also be separated according to transcendence and dedication?"

Sand Timepiece asked.

...In other words, do you want to keep the little butterfly?

Aiwass thought about it and decided to take her with him.

It’s not that he is not in any danger in the Theocracy...it’s because the Phantom Card can see the outside world through Aiwass’s body.

Aiwass went to the star and Crow went to play with them; but Butterfly stayed behind to go to jail... This made Aiwass feel bad.

"No, let's give them all to this transcendent clone."

"it is good."

Sha Shiji closed his sleeves again and said simply, "Then you can go back."

"When will it be divided?"

Aiwass asked.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was suddenly startled - because his voice had changed into a clear girl's voice without her knowing. And there was another familiar but strange voice in the air at the same time... Strange because the voice she heard was different from the voice heard by others.

"Evans" turned around suddenly and saw another Aiwass looking at him in surprise.

"When will it be divided? Oh, it has already been divided."

The corners of Sha Shiji's mouth slightly raised, but his tone became more severe: "Who do you think I am?
"Go back... Even if you only stay for half a year, remember to give yourself a proper name. A name like 'No. 14' is not really a human name.

"Remember, you are a human being. Not a thing, certainly not a commodity or a product."

Sand Timepiece taught seriously.

The next moment, Aiwas' eyes went dark.

When he woke up again, a sharp pain sounded deep in his brain.

There had never been a moment when his soul... Oh, there had been a moment when his soul had been weak like this when he had given part of it to Isabel.

Aiwass felt that his consciousness was divided into two at the same time - Aiwass and No. 14 looked at each other, touching their fingers together, feeling the perspective become double, the touch also became double, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.

"Lily, I think I understand you."

After a brief hesitation, two voices sounded at the same time.
