Chapter 118 The Warrior Is Dead
Although the Silver Crown Dragon is the pillar god of the authoritarian path, He also possesses some power and characteristics that transcend the path.
In other words, in ancient times when there was no professional inheritance, it was reasonable for any extraordinary person to possess the power of multiple paths.
The nine paths represent nine attitudes towards life, nine worldviews, nine personalities, and nine tendencies.
No path is absolutely correct, and few people can only walk on one path and never deviate.
The professional system that was born in the past two thousand years has brought more stable inheritance and promotion paths to extraordinary people, and in fact, it also makes people subconsciously follow the path and gradually purify their personality.
But in fact, advancing on one path does not mean giving up the characteristics of other paths. Or it can be said the other way around - if someone does not conform to other paths at all, it does not mean that he will definitely go very far on this path.
The ultimate goal of "purifying thinking" is actually because of one's own lack of talent, so more energy is concentrated on one path in order to go faster and farther.
But after some people realized that this would lead to faster promotion, they forced others to purify their paths, otherwise it would be difficult to go further when they were young enough - after all, the path level when young would directly determine career, income and the rest of life. Everyone wants to live a better life, and they are willing to change themselves for this.
When the path promotion became utilitarian, the average age of the extraordinary people of each energy level decreased year by year. But in fact, there are still only so many people who can reach the fourth energy level or above. Because the higher you go, the more difficult it is.
In less extreme cases, each extraordinary person should have the adaptability of multiple paths - not to adapt to the path, but to get all the power of the path that adapts to themselves. So they should have many low-level abilities of the path, but basically few of the paths can be promoted to high-level... This is the talent of normal people.
As a modern extraordinary person, Haina felt that this ancient extraordinary concept was incomprehensible.
Haina was even so shocked that she couldn't even speak properly: "Silver Crown Dragon, Crowned Lord... are they also transcendents?
"Is it possible for mortals... to become pillar gods? "
"Not a transcendent, but a person who has the characteristics of transcending the path," Aiwass corrected calmly, "and there is actually no insurmountable gap to becoming a Pillar God. As we all know, mortals can become heavenly officials, and as long as they are heavenly officials, they can theoretically become Pillar Gods. The reason they did not become Pillar Gods is just because they are not strong enough and have not walked far enough on the nine paths.
"It has been taught many times in school that the Nine Pillar Gods are not the managers of the path, but only the pioneers of the path... But obviously you, senior sister, do not understand the true meaning of this sentence. In the final analysis, it is actually that there are nine kinds of great powers without owners in this world, and the corresponding nine supreme positions... Regarding this, our textbooks in the seminary will teach this kind of knowledge.
"The reason why the Nine Pillar Gods are the Nine Pillar Gods is that they have walked the furthest on this path, so this path is named after their direction, and others must follow their principles.
" "But as long as other celestial officials can go further than the Pillar God, this path will change hands and be renamed. There is no need to kill the Pillar God. Since the era after the existence of writing, the Pillar God has changed hands three times, namely [Cicada Shell], [Forbidden Fruit] and [Royal Power]. The only thing that humans have experienced and recorded in human history is the third event five hundred years ago. The first two were witnessed by dragons and elves respectively."
"...Evans, where did you learn these secrets...?"
Haina couldn't help but tremble all over.
It was obvious that she had difficulty digesting this taboo knowledge.
She suddenly realized, "Grandpa Jacob once told us the legends of those great warriors in ancient times... I also wondered why there are no warriors in modern times..."
"Although the essence of power and authority is similar, the direction is different. Therefore, after the Silver Crown Dragon came to power, the old professions such as "warrior", "berserker", and "fighter" declined."
Ewass did not answer her first question, but skipped this question and answered the next question: "The power they already have will not disappear, but they will no longer become stronger through their original professions. However, they can easily switch to the path of authority without losing much power.
"In the end, the "berserker" became the bound, the "warrior" became the guardian, the "swordsman" became the supervisor, the "fighter" became the arrester, and the "challenger" became the "attendant". The law mage is a brand new profession, so there is no advancement. Among the professions of the power path five hundred years ago, only the light cavalry did not change, but the original advanced "knight" became "air cavalry". And the knight became a class in Avalon. "
Among them, Guardians, Bound, Arresters, and Attendants are not common professions in Avalon.
Because as long as you learn legal knowledge and practice swordsmanship and riding at the same time, you will definitely advance to an Inspector; if you don't learn riding, you will be a Law Mage, and if you don't learn the law, you will be a Light Cavalry.
This is what Aiwass said, mysterious knowledge may pollute a person. The advancement requirements of many professions, in addition to possessing a certain mysterious skill, also specifically require "not to possess a certain skill."
Therefore, as long as you are an official extraordinary person, you can only become one of these three professions.
"What about advanced professions?"
Although Haina was very frightened after hearing this, and even her whole body was shaking, her curiosity became stronger: "Where are the inspectors and arbitrators?"
"Do you really want to listen?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and replied casually: "If I remember correctly, the inspector should have been called the 'ombudsman', and the arbiter was the 'dictator'."
Compared with lower-level professions, upper-level professions that are closer to the path have very obvious changes. It's like a knight on horseback turned into an aerial cavalry riding a gryphon.
But for extraordinary professions such as "Overseer" and "Dictator" that have disappeared, it is still possible to find their abilities in tantric books. This is a very typical "lost skill".
In fact, when Aiwass first played this game, he had the same doubts as Haina.
Although he doesn't like to play warriors, generally speaking, every game should have a "warrior" profession.
There are priests, monks, and paladins on the path of devotion, mages on the path of wisdom, assassins and hunters on the adaptive path, knights on the authoritative path, and warlocks on the transcendent path...
——But why are there no warriors?
And judging from various historical records and ancient legends, there were clearly warriors in this world before.
So Aiwass could only understand that it was probably because times had changed.
Today, those extraordinary people on the balanced path have developed a variety of inventions and discoveries in the new era - steam engines, diesel engines, generators, electric lights, telephones, microorganisms, periodic tables of chemical elements, film, pens, trains, Bicycles, toilet paper...
In this prosperous era where everything is possible, warriors wielding swords and guns may no longer be popular. The existence of extraordinary beings will cause wars between countries with similar levels to be too intense, and the huge differences between individual extraordinary beings will make the war situation uncontrollable, which will instead lead to the birth of an era of peace.
It wasn't until much later that Aiwass realized that it was not the warriors who had been eliminated, but the extraordinary profession of "warrior" that had disappeared.
The same is "strength", but brute force and power are also different.
——After the era of authoritarianism arrives, the warrior is dead.
From this perspective, Jacob is really amazing.
He may not have grasped the whole truth, nor did he understand the nature of the Tao and the Pillar Gods, but he was at least aware of the existence of the Supreme Heaven. In Avalon, the existence of the Old Pillar God is undoubtedly forbidden knowledge.
However, he only escaped from the Noble Red Society after taking control of the Scaleless Hand.
Perhaps these secrets were obtained by Jacob from Noble Red.
Although Aiwass's words tell the secrets of the authoritarian path, they contain knowledge beyond the path. He can inspire a high-ranking transcendent on the authoritarian path to directly change to the transcendent path, and may even directly drive him crazy; it is also possible to inspire a person who originally did not have the nature of the transcendent path to enter the transcendent path.
However, in Aiwass' view, it is actually better to say this kind of thing sooner rather than later.
It is probably for this reason that Jacob uses fairy tales to tell it to children who have the ability to transcend the path.
The longer and higher you go on the authoritarian path, the more you regard the authoritarian path as the criterion of your life and believe that this path is absolutely correct, the more likely it is that your worldview will collapse as a result.
Who could have known that the Pillar God of the Authoritative Path relied on the power beyond the Path to be promoted to the Pillar God?
There is such a risk in walking a single path alone. No path is wrong, but in fact no path is absolutely correct... Even the path of devotion has its dark spots.
These secrets and words that Aiwass has mastered are his extremely sharp weapons.
In the end, Haina was in a trance for a while before she recovered. She finally left Aiwass's dormitory with the letter Aiwass wrote to Sherlock.
"...However, Haina actually recovered so quickly."
He was a little surprised.
Aiwass thought she might lose control and faint, or lose consciousness, and spend the night in his dormitory. He was ready to let Lily pack up a guest room for Haina.
Does this mean that her talent for the transcendental path is actually higher than that of the authoritarian path?
She was only twenty-two years old and already halfway through the third level of the authoritarian path. This is undoubtedly genius.
But now her talent beyond the path may be higher than the authoritarian path.
This made Aiwass a little interested.
Could such a genius really die in a country-destroying disaster so easily?
Or should I say, she actually appeared in the game.
It's just that at that time, her name was no longer Haina, and she wasn't on the path of authoritarianism, so that's why Aiwass didn't recognize her?
My routine is basically back to normal, and my out-of-circle level is now level three! (cheer)
I went to bed at ten o'clock yesterday and got up at half past five today——
This time we are real human beings (wiping away tears)
——Cat Terry becomes human!
This way, I can go out and get a haircut. I was severely allergic to pollen in spring and couldn't go out. After publishing the book, my schedule was messed up. I didn't get a haircut for four months. Now my hair style is almost the same as that of Ishigami Yu. I'm a very good artist...
