The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

The odds were one to ten.

An Su had already acquired everything he desired, and one could even say that the gains from this trip had far exceeded his expectations.

The rewards from the Radiant Holy See were just secondary, merely an addition.

His soul had undergone the baptism of the River of Life twenty thousand times. Through countless descents into the Nether, An Su could feel a fundamental transformation within himself, becoming more solid and resilient. Naturally, he had gained a hint of the essence of life, as if he had been protected or blessed, so that no ordinary person could harm or taint his soul—not even a demigod of the Esoteric Sect.

In layman's terms, it's like his tender lamb meat had been swished in the soup pot over twenty thousand times, until it became too tough to chew.

The gains on the spiritual side were just one aspect, there were also significant gains for his physical body.

After consecutively sacrificing the body of the Golden Kite Princess and the historical projection of the Azure Sorceress, the blessings he received on his life were unimaginable, perhaps the biggest score of An Su's entire career.

Most importantly, he had acquired a world.

Feeling the connection with the world linked to his soul, and seeing the Chenxing hovering above the wilderness and the ruins of the Holy Hall, An Su's lips curled into a smile, as he could hardly wait to go home and tally his gains.

[Settlement Complete]

[Church rewards will be distributed after the examination]

The words formed by the starlight gathered before An Su's eyes, signaling that everything had come to an end.

"Scram, that girl named Cersei is waiting for you."

The Celestial Messenger had long wanted to get rid of this guy. The chap was handsome and liked by young girls, truly irritating. He waved his hand impatiently, and the scattered radiance spun around An Su, engulfing him before he could reply.

"Don't let her down," muttered the Celestial Messenger.

Before An Su, everything turned white, and within the whirling starlight, he had left the Celestial Space and returned to the present world.

The first thing he perceived was the dazzling light, which instantly filled his entire field of view.

With a slight squint, he walked out of room sixteen and was immediately greeted by the brightly lit church square, surrounded by crowds beyond the cordons, the flickering lights casting long shadows. The Order Knights were patrolling under martial law, dispersing the civilians, and confronting both the Royal Knight Order and the border people, with the Sun Flame of the God of War spreading as if to ignite the world.

An Su had not expected the real world to be so lively: everyone seemed to have their own urgent matters, and for a moment, no one noticed that An Su had emerged.

"Ahem..."

He took a few steps forward, facing the crowd with an expression as if they had seen a ghost. He opened his mouth to speak but suddenly paused.

That gentle, soft, pure white, cotton-like girl, hugged him.

An Su could feel the young girl in his arms, and the moist warmth of her breath.

He looked down, seeing her soft flowing hair and those wet, golden eyes, resembling a small animal. Her body trembled slightly, her fingers clenching tightly at An Su's chest, as if she would lose him if she let go even a little.

They were very close, and An Su could feel that the girl before him was afraid.

He was stunned.

"Jerk..." Luojia murmured into his embrace.

"Luojia?"

An Su looked down, and the Little Saintess lifted her cheek. The delicate and stunning side profile, with eyelashes white as hoarfrost trembling gently, melted away the frost, letting tears fall like snowmelt.

The Little Saintess lifted her cheeks, stood on tiptoes—

"Damn it, An Su!" the Celestial Messenger, who watched from above and proclaimed absolute neutrality, gritted his teeth in frustration,

"Why is there another girl!"
