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

"Mr. An Su."

Just as An Su was about to leave, Miss Luojia called out to him from behind.

"What is it?"

An Su turned around to look at the Little Saintess; as a gold medal support, Miss Luojia had provided a continuous stream of Blessing of Holy Light during the battle against Cersei, and now her Magic Power was also depleted.

Her snow-white profile appeared slightly translucent from overexertion, but her eyes still gleamed brilliantly, the orange sunlight draping over the hem of Miss Luojia's spun dress.

"Come down earlier." Miss Luojia lifted her head naturally, "I'll stew bone soup for you."

"Okay." An Su nodded, completely ignoring Miss Bones' desperate look.

"You have to drink it all when you get home," Luojia said.

"Okay." An Su agreed amiably.

"Then do it for a day," said Luojia.

"Okay... okay..." An Su replied casually, then suddenly caught himself, "Is that okay?"

Is it so sudden?

Miss Luojia clasped her hands behind her back, slightly tilted her head, her snow-white long hair spreading with the wind, her cheeks slightly rosy, but still smiling beautifully, "Is it not okay?"

Although she lost to Bones in terms of theory, she couldn't lose to Bones in practical skills.

Miss Luojia had the pride of a top student.

"Not good enough," An Su disdainfully said, he had his pride too, not losing to Luojia, since if boasting then let this foolish saintess regret it, "Why not make it two days."

"Okay." Miss Luojia nodded seriously.

...Sister, I was just boasting.

An Su straightened up.

"Mr. An Su," Miss Luojia added.

"What is it?"

"Do you still remember this?"

Miss Luojia took out a delicate little box from her pocket, gently opened it, and inside lay a beautifully crafted gambling ticket, hand-painted with a magnificent church, valued at 'ten small gold mines',

"I actually still kept it."

Idiot saintess.

An Su sighed, although the gold mine was not valuable, who can afford to give it to the bank!

"Your father praised me for being sensible."

As if sensing An Su's thoughts, Miss Luojia tilted her head, mimicking Count Karlo's tone, exaggeratedly said,

"It's worthy of being the future daughter-in-law of the Chenxing Family, sensible and strategic, even exchanging ten small gold mines at the bank, let the Royal Family of the Imperial Capital think the bank has more gold mines than the Chenxing Family!"

"She'll definitely manage this family well."

An Su remained expressionless, not surprised at all by his father's statement.

The Chenxing Family had nothing but gold mines and silver mines, their daily work consisted of acquiring gold and guarding silver, all tedious tasks... So handing them over to Miss Luojia seemed quite appropriate.

She was naturally good at accounting.

An Su even began to consider this possibility.

"Do you still have what I gave you?"

Miss Luojia asked again, her snow-white eyes reflecting An Su's face.

"..." An Su was silent for a while, pulling out a standard gambling ticket from his lining, valued at only two thousand Gold Coins, showing a small white flower, he gently shook it, the ticket dispersing warm colors in the sunlight.

"Mr. An Su still kept it, didn't go to exchange it."

Luojia revealed a smile, her smile also dispersing warm colors in the sunlight, "Although it's only two thousand Gold Coins, this is all the savings from my first half of life."

"Mr. An Su."

The Holy Maiden looked at An Su,

—"I gambled my first half of life on you, now gamble all of your second half of life on me."

An Su looked at Miss Luojia, he swallowed the words 'won't deal you any percentage damage' that were on the tip of his tongue, and after a long pause, he nodded.

"Come down quickly," Luojia said.

"Mhm."

"Come home to drink bone soup."

"Mhm."

"Do it for two days."

"Mhm..."

...

An Su rested for a while, and as his Magic Power had mostly recovered, he faced the whistling cold wind and the orange sunlight of winter, climbing up the Chaotic Ladder in the evening, his view rising with the altitude, the entire Chaotic Church Nation sinking beneath his feet.

The steps of the Parliament Building were empty.

Eerily silent.

And the higher he climbed, the more the familiar yet strange feeling surfaced in his mind.

An Su felt as if he had stepped into the Parliament Building before... or rather, he had stepped into an equivalent building in the past.

This weird familiarity became clearer, emanating from the depths of his mind, his Demigod soul continuously telling An Su that he had been here before, and a Demigod's intuition is never wrong.

An Su had indeed been here, he had been to the Parliament Building of the Chaotic Council.

Avad's Chaotic Council Building has ten floors, a fact he knew clearly upon entering the Era of Chaos...

And the Farol Magic Guild Building... also has ten floors.

He remembered another long-forgotten event.

Avad's [Capital] is the border of Farol, the Chaotic Frontier he once conquered, is the future Radiant Imperial City. Thus, the Avad he is currently in, is actually the [Border] of the Radiant Kingdom.

It is the [Border] where the Chenxing Family resides.

An Su was certain that, 30,000 years ago in the border, there existed a sky-reaching building similar to the Magic Guild Building... or rather, the Guild Building originally located in the Imperial Capital was actually the moved original Parliament Building?

If so, what is at the end of the 10th floor of the Magic Guild Building... what is the endpoint of the Magic Guild?

An Su had been there countless times, a place he could never forget, and also the pinnacle of the entire Nether World, the eternal battleground of the Sects.

—[Heaven]

Numerous glimmers descending and spiraling upward, An Su held his breath, staring at the grand doors standing at the end of the staircase, both unfamiliar and familiar.

From the top of the door—

An Su saw those familiar yet strange... pure white pupils.
