CHAPTER 1505: CHAPTER 206: THE MOMENTARY HESITATION OF THE SERPENT CELESTIAL MARSHAL (PART 2)

In the era without language, just a meeting of eyes was enough to communicate minds.

——To save the world must remain a secret, Lucifer.

"Never let people know..."

"Self" spoke in a language that did not exist in this time, this world, with a slightly disappointed yet somewhat melancholic mood, calmly: "Never... let people know how far you can go."

The illusion of the past vanished in an instant.

Aiwass instantly returned to reality, while Elo Chief continued knocking his head rhythmically like a renovation team nailing — with the physique of a Fifth Energy Level Transcendent, even if Elo Chief smashed the floor for Aiwass, there wouldn’t be a scratch.

That was...

The maxim of the Savior of the past.

Aiwass was certain that this was not knowledge or memory he had ever possessed.

So...

Aiwass looked up, gazing at the gilded murals on the ceiling.

With these obstructing things in the way, he sat there, unable to see the sky clearly.

...Is this like those new memories that appeared from nowhere, transmitted to me by the Serpent Celestial Marshal?

What motive did the Serpent Celestial Marshal have for doing this?

Or rather... has this too been part of their past?

Did they do it to stop me, to warn me?

"Carrying an ever heavier burden makes it impossible to save the world... is that what you’re trying to say?"

Aiwass murmured in a voice only he could hear.

He should have sneered, laughed loudly, mocked the Serpent Celestial Marshal’s cowardice, and then proudly declared "I am different from you," vowing to do better — that’s what he used to do.

But now, Aiwass did not do that.

"The heart to save others... should never be mocked."

Gazing in the direction of the sky — Aiwass solemnly articulated: "Whether you feel pain and anger from betrayal, or tiredness and despair from being unable to save everyone... no matter what your motive is for sending me this message... I won’t mock you either."

For once, the Serpent Celestial Marshal was truly the Savior.

Aiwass had now become increasingly aware of this fact.

They truly once bore it all... they truly once fought, struggled.

It’s just that they have now given up, become tired, regretful.

But in any case —

At least the Ai Shiping back then, the one who realized "never let people know how far you can go," must have done something remarkable.

A failed Savior should not be mocked.

Otherwise, wouldn’t I become another Serpent Celestial Marshal?

——Isn’t a Savior who has done nothing more worthy of mockery than a failed Savior?

"...You already did very well."

Aiwass spoke to the Serpent Celestial Marshal for the first time in such a gentle tone: "But maybe just missing a little... mm, missing some luck, or a bit of persistence, or maybe the direction was wrong, perhaps even just that final step, truly unfortunate.

"It’s alright, this time I’ll give it a try."

He knew the Serpent Celestial Marshal could hear him.

And at this moment.

In the Dream Realm, focal point.

The Serpent Celestial Marshal indeed was gazing at Aiwass, feeling the blurred, partially missing memories.

It was precisely this memory he had just packaged and sent over. He actually knew this memory wasn’t tainted by the Void, not "nonexistent memories" that appeared out of nowhere... but it was just a bit reluctant.

Passing memories certainly doesn’t require deleting copies.

But the "purpose" of passing memories does —

The Serpent Celestial Marshal passed memory to Aiwass, precisely because he didn’t want those precious memories to be tainted or rewritten by the Void. He ought to delete these uncontrolled memories which could cause him to waver from the principle. Like a villain losing focus upon hearing a childhood song... that must not be allowed to exist, absolutely fatal mental cracks.

But he was just a bit reluctant... so before deciding to delete, he sent this memory to Aiwass.

He didn’t send the reason he spoke these words... but unsurprisingly, Aiwass still guessed it.

"...Hmph."

Ai Shiping gave a soft snort, closing his eyes.

This tacit understanding indeed brought him a bit of pleasure. Aiwass’ subsequent gentle words also caused a slight stir in his heart.

How long has it been since someone cared about me like this...

"——Get out, Void."

The Serpent Celestial Marshal murmured with his eyes closed.

He erased all the pity and slight touch he had toward Aiwass, the regret for the past, and self-reflection... as well as all the hesitation toward his own plans. As if he had seen nothing.

This inexplicable softness must also be a contagion from the Void.

"The omnipresent Void..."

The Serpent Celestial Marshal murmured softly, with a sweep of his hand... the screen changing from Aiwass to a Serpentfolk High Priest who was praying to him. Without listening to the content of the prayer, he directly clicked agreement.

He decided to temporarily take his surveillance off Aiwass.

At least for now, the Serpent Celestial Marshal did not want to see this face or hear his voice anymore.

Meanwhile, in the Material Realm.

Aiwass reached out and helped the steadily rhythmic, drum-like knocking Elo Chief to his feet, saying somewhat helplessly yet firmly: "The Winged Ones... no, the Avianfolk tribe, I’ll take care of them.

"In the name of the King of the Winged, I will bring you all to the shore of happiness together.
