Chapter 1111: Chapter 441: Overlapping Time-Space

"[Differences]..."

The Encyclopedia whispered softly, as if recalling something and falling into deep thought.

The Wanderer also understood: "So, is that why there is this mind-reading facility used as a defense mechanism here? Because differences exist between people, and it can transform those differences into conflicts..."

"No, you misunderstood. This is not a defense mechanism, but a communication tool."

Sine shook his head, his expression serious: "A communication tool that is countless times more advanced than language..."

"But precisely because it is advanced enough," Zhu Tang sighed with his eyes closed, "it leads to it being incomprehensible to people."

"Still, we must take it back!"

Professor Bard’s attitude was extremely resolute: "This is a great archaeological discovery!"

Indeed it is.

Aiwass nodded.

The ancients relied on this device that could resonate with the mind to create their splendid ancient civilization.

Although people nowadays are accustomed to "differences," they may not necessarily accept this technology that reintegrates and completes each other... In fact, Aiwass thought that people might instead feel fear because of it.

It is a fear of secrets being eliminated and the self being dissolved—a primal desire inherent in every person to "assert the self." This is exactly what gives rise to the mortal instinct born of "differences." If this instinct is combined with the human traits of "creation" and "procreation," it leads to a flourishing civilization.

But if put this way...

Such a fierce and aggressive sun hardly seems the conduct of a Contributor.

The Dawn Celestial Marshal’s parents were both Eternal Self, and as a pure-blooded creation of the Path of Love, He unexpectedly became a Celestial Marshal of the Path of Devotion—implying He must possess some great power capable of overwhelming this path’s impulse. Moreover, as the child of the Pillar God, He must also carry celestial woes... which are inherent in the River of Creation.

Strength cannot create new strength out of nothing; otherwise, it would mean approaching infinity—which is the principle of "creation" with the potential to destroy the world.

But the world always needs a sun...

Aiwass suddenly thought of the secret of the [Dawnfire] art.

That was the ancient legacy he obtained from the "Morning Crow Scripture." Although called Dawnfire, it is a technique that ignites one’s life force to burst into flames.

...Did the Dawn Celestial Marshal ignite Himself?

All life created by the Creation Origin River has the characteristic of fearing fire. Whether it is beasts of the Beast’s Path or people of the Path of Love. In contrast, races like Demons of the Transcendence Path, Giants of the Path of Strength, and Undead of the Path of Dusk do not share this highly uniform characteristic.

As the purest creation, He should also fear fire the most.

But the Dawn Celestial Marshal ignited Himself—burning His life force to ensure there is a sun for the world, illuminating the world with the flames He feared the most. And with a sun, a new civilization could be born... This action could indeed elevate Him to become an Angel Envoy or even a Celestial Marshal of the Path of Devotion.

After all, when the Pillar God is in power, even if Celestial Marshals have different understandings of the Origin River, they must follow the path of the Celestial Marshal. Just like the Path of Downfall of the Fallen Celestial Marshal can only be interpreted as "downward transcendence"; both the Winter Celestial and the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal possess characteristics of the Path of Dusk tending towards Stillness.

If put this way, then the second sun might not belong to the Path of Devotion at all!

Yet it is that celestial body—

When the Hourglass had yet to close off the celestial connection, were there stars in the sky?

At this thought, Aiwass stopped the group from arguing and discussing the device temporarily named the "Unified Language Device." He pulled the Wanderer aside and asked: "Do you understand astrology?"

"I know a bit, ’Pope’ sir."

The Wanderer answered half-proudly, half-cautiously: "But it may not be very accurate."

As a "survival expert," relying on instincts to survive... the Wanderer surely knew a bit about it. But compared to professional Prophets—and the advanced profession of Prophets like "the Fool," as well as Astrologers and traditional predictive professions like Astronomers, his predictive abilities were certainly not as strong.

Outside, the Wanderer would definitely boast about how accurate his fortune-telling was.

But in front of these top experts from around the world, he became humble.

...Even though the Archbishop with antlers looked quite unfamiliar, not like any Cardinal Archbishop or Pope he knew, possessing such healing ability and extensive knowledge marked him as a significant figure somewhere. If he made an incorrect prediction in front of him, it would not only be embarrassing but could also cost him his life—he had such an intuition.

"It’s not something very complicated."

Aiwass shook his head: "Can you help me plot the positions of The Star?"

"...Oh, that won’t be a problem."

The Wanderer breathed a sigh of relief: "It just requires some time... is that okay?"

His latter sentence was directed to "the Amber Master" boss.

The Amber Master nodded: "The ruin is still stable enough; we can stay here for a long time. You can prepare at your own pace... we can take this time to rest and recover here."

This is just basic for astrology.

It’s similar to the prayers of Priests or the Ritual Arrays carved by a Curse Ritual Magician. After all, during the daytime and on cloudy days, stars are invisible, which is like a prohibition on magic for astrologers who rely on constellations for insights into the mysteries of the heavens. Therefore, astrologers have another technique, which is to make the current positions of The Star appear in the surroundings.

—This was the ability Aiwass used when helping Sherlock change professions.

He could use it initially because astrology belonged to the transcendence during ancient times.
