The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 686 - 358: Shadow and the Unknown_2
At this moment, the green garlic was in season.
"I want to kill all of you, I want to kill all of you!"
"Green garlic, green garlic!"
With the death of the Smiling Lady, the ruling Righteous Faction at the Judgment Court had also faced its collapse:
The rioting citizens stormed the assembly of the Rainbow Elves, the fire giants hurled burning pots downwards, and the proteins and fats emitted an enticing aroma when sizzled; merchants and butchers were even more eager, sharpening their knives in readiness to weigh all of the Righteous Faction on the scales. With the Rainbow Elves, there was no need to prepare for the New Year's goods this year; these delicacies would be enough to last until next year.
An Su retracted his gaze from the beautiful scenery and focused on the second contributor of this trial—Mr. Demon.
Mr. Demon had not been burned to death; of course, he could not have been incinerated, as tonight's bills were still waiting for Mr. Demon to pay.
If the Smiling Lady was the best supporter, then Mr. Demon was the best financier, serving as a rotating watchman for the Chaotic City Management Bureau, he was the principal official of the Judgment Court.
The Judgment Court was burned, but no worries, tonight's entire firefighting expenses were on the Demon Young Master!
As soon as Mr. Demon caught An Su's look, he started to sweat profusely; he twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth and said with an unsightly expression, "Mr. An Su, the ceremony hasn't ended yet, there are still two candles left for judgment. Once the Seven Gods Ceremony begins, you must complete it thoroughly."
"Do you think the fire isn't big enough yet?" An Su exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right." Mr. Demon nodded, "If I were burned to death, I would die a martyr on official duty, and my family would no longer need to pay debts."
"I see." An Su nodded thoughtfully.
"Moreover, if I die, it will be your turn to pay the debt."
Mr. Demon said with a smile, his mouth bizarrely splitting towards the back, "If I die, you will be the only official left in the Judgment Court, and responsibility will naturally fall to you."
"Damn." An Su also began to sweat profusely, waiting here for me!
Mr. Demon was not lying; once the Seven Gods Ceremony began, it must be completed, otherwise An Su would also be punished by the ceremony.
He helplessly looked towards the middle of the altar at the dark blue candle, the candle of Star and Nether, the only absolutely neutral among all the deities.

Beside the dark blue candle, there was a deep black human oil candle, the candle of Shadow and the Unknown. Even during the prosperous era of the Esoteric Sect, Shadow and Unknown was still the most rare and mysterious of the seven sects, only the Pure-blood Demon Clan could practice Shadow Magic, becoming a Shadow Sect Follower.
As a pure-blood human, An Su, according to common sense, should not be able to provoke the blessing of the Shadow Mother Goddess.
His connection with Star was not as deep as with the previous beliefs, and the Shadow belief—this nearly extinct mysterious belief in later generations, An Su had never come into contact with it, almost having no interaction, it should mean... there wouldn't be much flame.
Should it be so...?
Anyway, let's try the "Astral Candle" first.
With such optimistic thoughts, An Su dragged his blood-soaked body and first stepped into the domain covered by the dark blue candle.
As soon as he entered the domain of this deity, under a grant of blessing, all experiences and past related to Star unfolded like flowing water, astonishing An Su was that, these were not memories of the current world, but one dream after another. It seemed only a moment, yet felt as long as a lifetime.
Not only what he could remember, but the forgotten past also vividly emerged before his eyes.
He had entered the Nether World three times, had three dreams, and remembered those three dreams.
An Su saw the starry platter arranged on the blood-red long table; he was also a dish on that table, a deity using fork and knife to split the meals of eras;
He saw countless stars falling from the sky, the fragments of eras smashing into human dynasties; one dynasty after another collapsed and then turned into fragments of stars, floating in the air, waiting for the next fall;
In the last dream, An Su saw himself become one of the stars, fallen into the era of Radiance.
The dark blue flames swallowed all from memory, and also An Su.
When An Su awoke, numerous noisy and eerie chants resounded beside his ears, he breathed heavily, his heart pounding violently, what all this meant, what all this foreshadowed, An Su had no way of knowing, except for the deities, no one could know.
Speaking of the candles, how were they doing...?
In that brief moment, An Su had lost consciousness.
He raised his head, supporting his tired eyes, and looked towards the Judgment Court—he did not see the Judgment Court, the entire Judgment Court had disappeared.
The remnants of dark blue fire rippled across the deeply grooved ground, the ruins of the Judgment Court melted into the color of dark blue, with specks of starlight scattered all over; and all the citizens in the Judgment Square, the nationals in front of Magic Screens were speechless, watching An Su, as the explosion had neared life and chaos.
In the prolonged silence, no one could speak.
This young man was actually the Chosen One by the Six Gods.
Though just a pure-blood human, he had achieved such an extent!
Everyone realized that fact, from now on, the history of Chaotic Church Nation would add a record of the 'Chosen One by the Six Gods'.
Mr. Demon was completely scorched, half of his body flowing with fire, the other half showing exposed bones amid torn flesh; yet the life force of the Pure-blood Demon Clan was extremely strong, even if half of his body was melted, and skin and flesh ripped apart, Mr. Demon was still not dead.
