The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 291 - 211 An Su Finally Gets Off Work_2
"He wouldn’t dare, he’s deceiving all of you!"
"He only wants to sacrifice you to achieve his own selfish ends."
"In the face of such cult tactics, we must maintain scientific and rational values, adhere to materialist thinking of a critical nature, we must have positive energy, believe that there is no savior in this world, there never were any gods, turning back is the shore, the good life is created step by step by us firmly on the ground..."
Bishop Bram felt like crying without tears— as a leader of the Esoteric Cult, he had fallen to the point of persuading people to turn back from the wrong path and fight against feudal superstition...
What a humiliation it was.
If only he had known how complicated the Mixed Cult was, he would have chosen to join the Radiant Holy See in his youth!
Bishop Bram’s earnest teachings and persuasion had an effect, as many wavering Cultists gradually came to their senses, and the strange changes in their bodies also stopped. Right, if self-sacrifice were such a wonderful thing, why didn’t Xianzong himself offer himself up first?
Seeing the trend of brainwashing ease, Bishop Bram breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that An Su descended the final step.
A smile spread across his lips.
"Your devout follower offers a gift."
[You have strongly attracted the Mother Goddess of Chaos’s attention]
[The absolutely neutral Celestial Messenger advises you not to make a scene out of death again]
Not polite at all.
An ethereal voice suddenly reached his ears, An Su chuckled disdainfully, shaking his head. He, An Su, was a person of deep loyalty, he had already sworn brotherhood with these Esoteric brothers a few days before, vowing to not seek to be born on the same year, same month, same day, but to die on the same year, same month, same day,
Now was the time to keep that promise.
He pressed a single hand to his chest, moving it down over his heart as if to slice himself open out of thin air, the pale blue color of the young man’s pupils shining with an ever brighter loyal light, to be sacrificed on the same year, same month, same day, was the bond between him and his brothers.
An Su stood in the center of the altar, his smile slowly spreading.
"I offer up the self on this altar to You—"
he said softly,
"I invite You to dine with me!"
As An Su’s words fell, the entire Heaven fell into a long, long silence and hush.
When the tension reached its peak, the sky collapsed in an instant, all Sacred Fires extinguished, leaving only the crimson moonlight piercing through the layers of the heavens, spilling all over An Su’s figure.
Red moon no longer hung in the sky, but rose from the body of the young man. At this moment, all was silent and dark save for An Su’s figure standing in the grey and desolate world, the followers of Life all prostrated under the red moon, as if seeing the Mother Goddess herself.
They had never been so close to the Mother Goddess, nor had they ever witnessed a sacrifice ritual that could reach such an extent, where the entire red moon was drawn down directly.

Lacking the words, they could only describe this grand spectacle as a miracle.
Even the Mother Goddess descended to stand by for Lord Xianzong, could there be any falsehood in Xianzong’s words?
The eyes of the Cultists reached the pinnacle of frenzy and worship, without a trace of doubt left, spirit and flesh completely lost control, wildly mutating. For a Life follower to be able to witness the Mother Goddess was worth dying for.
Meanwhile, the orthodox Holy Maiden Miss Bones of the Life Ecclesia hugged her head as she squatted in an unseen corner, afraid that if An Su got carried away with the sacrifice, he might spontaneously offer her up as well, perhaps for the Mother Goddess of Life to stew bones soup, who knows, it might even be highly nourishing.
The most astonished and disbelieving of all was Bishop Bram who had just now been denouncing superstition.
Bram couldn’t believe what he was seeing; he had never been so shocked, his eyes wide, staring intently at Xianzong in the middle of the altar, watching the scarlet moonlight gradually submerge him, slowly devouring... While being devoured, Xianzong’s lips still bore a calm smile.
No way, big brother, you’re actually doing the sacrifice?
Bishop Bram was completely convinced.
From head to toe, utterly convinced!
In his five hundred years of life, he had never seen such a resolute man!
To sacrifice oneself as one said, to keep his word, straightforward!
To really go through with the sacrifice,
Bram was now certain, Xianzong must be a high-level agent from both the Radiant Holy See and the Life Ecclesia, and a figure on the level of Archbishop of the Sanctuary of Chaos. Only such chaotic madmen, who follow such incomprehensible thought patterns, are so eager for pleasure they don’t care about their lives, and all of this fully matched Xianzong’s current behavior.
No one dares to provoke such a high-ranking madman of chaos, fearful that he might just blow up unexpectedly.
When had he ever provoked such a formidable figure?
He, Bram, was just an innocent man selling seafood!
Immense fear weighed heavily on Bram’s soul, diminishing his willpower as well,
Shrouded in crimson moonlight, An Su did not vanish immediately, he paused momentarily, turned around, and ascended the stairs again, each step making the moonlight on his body more radiant. The gazes of the Esoteric geniuses had never before been so fervent as they knelt on the ground, kissing the soil where An Su tread, treating it as if the Mother Goddess herself was walking among them.
The chanting that had been interrupted resumed once again.
They shouted feverishly, mimicking An Su’s words, praying devoutly—
"Your faithful believers offer up gifts..."
"We invite You to dine with us."
The angelic, peaceful songs rose up, plucking the harp strings, humming the lightest notes, as the gardens of Heaven bloomed with the vitality of all living things, while the ancient clouds echoed with one church bell chime after another. Merlin, who usually enjoyed gardening, had planted a large field of violets at the entrance to Heaven, which were now also flourishing.

The Cultists offered up their souls, and as An Su passed each one of them, ascended each step, the crimson moonlight devoured a person, turning the offerings into white bones, blood burst forth in a deluge, a symphony of hymns and death, with blood and corpses fertilizing Merlin’s garden, promising that next spring, the flowers would bloom even more fervently.
[Temporary Steward of Heaven.....]
[Temporary Steward of Heaven has vanquished a Fifth Tier life aberration]
The violet garden was stained red with blood, bloomed seductively in the dark red moonlight. The path An Su had taken was covered with crimson skeletons, as he walked over all the corpses, step by step, tier after tier of the ascent.
....
All twenty-nine Fourth Order Esoteric geniuses had experienced soul aberrations and were all sacrificed.
Ten Fifth Tier Esoteric Saints, with the exception of Bishop Bram who still retained his sanity, three suffered severe soul damage, and three souls had become irreversibly mutated...
Three Saints of Life completely gave up resistance and were directly sacrificed by An Su!
This was also the first time that An Su had hunted followers of the Saintly Rank from the Esoteric Religion and he had bagged three in one go.
Even in the Chaotic Frontier, he had only sacrificed a few nearly Saintly Ranked Chaos Followers.
Bishop Bram’s soul was in agonizing pain, his sanity almost vaporized, as he barely led the surviving Saints out of Heaven, after this battle, the new generation of talents from the Sea Church had been utterly decimated, and all the upper-level Saints had lost their combat capacity, the Life Ecclesia’s influence in the capital was effectively nonexistent.
Even Bishop Bram himself suffered severe mental damage, his mind cluttered with chaotic Otherworldly knowledge.
When An Su reached the topmost tier, the blood-red moonlight had engulfed everything in the mortal world, he arrived at the pinnacle of Heaven, the scenery in the distance was open and clean, the splendid Milky Way enveloping the mountains and rivers beneath, An Su paused, turned his head back, looking at the path he had come, apart from the bones, not a single person was left.
Everything had been cleansed.
An Su revealed a refreshing smile, filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest, his workday was finally over. Continue your journey with novelbuddy
What a meaningful day it had been.
In the end, the bloody moonlight completely devoured him as well.
The demigod form that Merlin had created was dissipated into the crimson.
All traces of the sacrifice were also cleansed by An Su’s final magic power, as the bones turned to ash, vanishing into the clear night sky, leaving not a single sign of their past existence, the red moon slowly disappeared, leaving only the starlight to illuminate all worlds.
The Spiritual Body broke free, returning to the Nether, back to reality.
