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

As the fire blazed up it was one thing,

but to be toyed with by one's future self!

Watching the smug Miss Bones, who was boasting about how incredible her past self was, and the blushing Luojia, along with the disgusted-looking An Su, made Cang Lan feel the pang of longing.

If she still had any magic power within her, she would desire nothing more than to kill her future self right now.

Chopping it with a kitchen knife into pieces, then boiling them with radishes in a stew.

"Miss Azure."

An Su watched Cang Lan with a smile, his dark blue eyes filled with purity and goodwill, as he politely said, "You wouldn't want others to know about your secret writings about the Imperial Uncle, right?"

A blatant threat.

Cang Lan lifted up her blushed cheeks, glaring at An Su with resignation, "Are there even any 'others' left in Avad now?"

She wasn't afraid of An Su's threat at all.

She was right, there were hardly others left in Avad.

As Chenxing and Cersei fought each other, and with the Mysticism of Chaos's inaction, by the time the battle ended and dawn broke, the entire Chaotic Holy City was reduced to ruins under the influence of the Catastrophe called [Divine Right Monarchy].

The winter evening sun cast its light upon this desolation. The mountain fires from the Catastrophe had died, their carcasses dragged into the cerulean sea, leaving dozens of scorched yellow and lifeless trails across the city; every edifice consumed by these vast chasms, as gray winds blew the dusty ashes—each speck an individual's soul, whirling in the dim sky.

Amidst the hazy ash clouds, a pure white star could be clearly seen in the sky.

[Radiance Level: 99 Percent]

That was the Radiance of Nether, and once Avad was completely covered by Radiance, that star would plummet, triggering the end of the world program by the gods as soon as the Holy City fell, marking the inception of the downfall of the Era of Chaos.

And when the Radiance descends, An Su would definitively fix this world.

[Hidden World Quest]

[Fate's Staircase]

[99 Percent]

This was the result of Cersei Milton's painstaking efforts, but now it had been snatched away by An Su at the last moment.

However, for some reason, although the citizens of Avad seemed extinguished, the Radiance Level still hadn't reached 100 percent.

"But there are successors to come, aren't there?"

An Su calmly gazed at Cang Lan, "And there are future generations."

In the illumination of the morning sun, the young man said brightly,

"If you don't cooperate with my questions, I'll have Miss Bones distribute your masterpieces in all periodicals across the nation in future ages."

Are you a demon?

Miss Azure gazed as if witnessing a birth, staring at An Su incredulously.

How could he say such terrifying things with such a refreshing expression.

"You...." Miss Azure was close to tears again, she raised her hands in surrender, despondently saying, "What do you want to ask?"

"Where is Yage Sylvia? Who is she?"

An Su asked.

"The originally first-ranked candidate in the Chaos Election, was it her?"

During the clash when An Su was losing to Cersei, he faintly heard a call from the shadows, familiar yet strange, but it disappeared after a few seconds, and afterward, when An Su tried to find the source of the voice with his Spiritual Vision, he couldn't find it again.

As if it never existed.

When An Su mentioned the name 'Yage Xiyiya', Miss Luojia also turned her head alertly.

"...Yage Xiyiya is the Saintess of the Demon Clan. The unknown and Shadow Secret Sect's heir."

Cang Lan watched An Su, pausing for a bit as if unclear why An Su was asking about 'Yage', then she slowly said:

"To my knowledge, she wasn't the original first in line."

—"Because she didn't participate in this election, as far as I know, Miss Yage disappeared three days ago."

Yage disappeared three days ago, and she hadn't participated in the elections at all?

The Chaotic Councilor is the Bishop of Chaos; hence, this election had an unknown candidate; if not for An Su's intervention, in the preset destiny, this mysterious person would have become the true Bishop of Chaos.

Moreover, extrapolating further, the reason the Chaotic Council didn't intervene in the destruction of the Holy City was perhaps because the original Bishop of Chaos had acted.

An Su frowned, this was indeed beyond his expectations.

"As for the original first in line, there's no need for concern."

Fearing she would anger this plague, Miss Azure quickly reaffirmed herself as Huang Yao and quickly said:

"The Chaos Election has already ended, you have been elected as the first with the highest number of votes. All that's left is the coronation ceremony on the 'tenth layer' of the Chaotic Council, and you will become a true Councilor."

Before Cersei was exiled to the stars, she had told Azure, 'At the end of Fate's Staircase, all the answers await you.'

The end of Fate's Staircase...

Within the Chaotic Church Nation, the supposed Fate's Staircase could only be the highest level of this Parliament Building right before her...

The Parliament Building spirals like a staircase, with a total of ten stories winding toward the vast sky.

An Su lifted his gaze, looking up at the huge shadow above the Witch Garden, the Parliament Building was the only structure not ravaged by the Catastrophe in the Holy City. Even as the city had become ruins, it still cast a vast shadow over every destiny.

Like a courtyard in the sky.

No one knew, at the very top of Fate's Staircase of chaotic destiny.

[You are urged to make every effort, to climb the staircase of fate.]

All truths are at the top of Fate's Staircase, and An Su had already earned the qualification to climb upwards.

No matter what, he must ascend.
