LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 87: Almost Crashed during Settlement
[Second-Order Church World: Seden]
[Cleared]
An Su felt his flesh and blood carved into tiny chunks, hands, feet, bones, and even hair, every part carefully cooked into the most delicious dishes;
arrayed on a long dining table made of mahogany, candles burning atop it, their flames reflecting the beautiful crimson moon at the end of the table.
Even though An Su's body was segmented, he himself was also a diner.
His spiritual body sat at the end of the long table, fork and knife in hand, dining, partaking of his own flesh.
The more he ate, the more intact his spiritual body became, the clearer his memories grew.
All of this seemed but an illusion. An Su blinked,
and the mahogany dining table vanished, along with the tableful of delicacies, replaced by a dazzling starry sky, where the flowing starlight spun continuously across the heavens.
This was the realm of the Celestial.
The flow of time in the Nether World and reality was not the same; over a month had passed in the Nether, yet only a day had gone by in reality.
Upon returning, An Su immediately saw the Constipated face of the Celestial Messenger.
This absolutely neutral messenger uncle, having lived through hundreds of eventful years, witnessed the rise and fall of many heroic figures of the righteous and Magic Tao, had become indifferent to past smoke and clouds, reaching a state of equanimity in affairs,
until he met An Su—
The Celestial Messenger felt he was hitting a midlife crisis.
"How did you come up with," his mouth twitched slightly, "'sacrificing oneself' as a plan?"
This was the space of the Celestial, where everyone let go of their constraints to be their most authentic selves.
"Because sacrificing everyone present gave the highest benefit."
"And what about Lister and Arthur?"
"The Mother Goddess does not consume the dead."
The more he conversed with this being, the more the Celestial Messenger's blood pressure soared,
An Su, being the observant good kid he was, instantly picked up on the messenger's micro-expressions and knew he was not pleased. After a moment of thought, he found the answer and said apologetically with high emotional intelligence:
"I'm sorry, I was negligent."
The Celestial Messenger's face softened a bit.
"Your avatar, as a supervisor, was also present at that time - I should have sacrificed you as well!"
An Su said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity, my power was insufficient, causing you to be neglected."
After speaking, the youth's face brightened with a sunny smile, his eyes shimmering confidently, "Rest assured! Next time I will definitely try harder!"
"..."
To try harder to be served up neatly together?
After a short conversation with An Su, the Celestial Messenger felt he was about to enter an old age crisis.
Who on earth had brought up this little being?
The utterly neutral him wouldn't hold a grudge against a child; he was just pondering... maybe it was time to retire.
He couldn't keep up with the times.
"Your friends are waiting for you over there, you better go," the Celestial Messenger no longer wanted to talk to An Su.
An Su turned around and indeed saw Lister and Arthur not far away.
They too saw An Su and waved at him.
The flow of time differed between the Nether World and reality; they spent over a month inside, yet only one day passed in reality
Lister and Arthur had emerged mere seconds before An Su.
"It seems I have amnesia," Lister pushed up his glasses, sighing softly, "It appears I died in the church world."
"So did I."
Arthur said with a bright, confident smile, "I must have fought as a radiant Holy Knight against the nefarious Painful Esoteric Sect followers, until the very last second, and died a glorious death."
Lister too hummed elegantly, even more confident and vibrant, "Then I must have also died as a radiant noble, leading my people and ultimately dying for the masses!"
"It would not have been a life wasted."
One of you is a falcon that loses its prey, the other a malignant hound scattering urine, helping tyrants to do evil until driven to suicide—An Su silently said in his heart.
An Su didn't know why he retained his memories since he, too, had committed suicide in the end.
Perhaps it had something to do with sacrificing oneself...?
An Su thought to himself and suddenly noticed that the speed of the light flow had increased, and his vision was filled with intertwining and swirling starlight. These beams of light wove together, gradually forming words.
The surrounding space also vibrated continuously.
It seemed that the Celestial Messenger had begun the settlement process.
For some reason, this Celestial Messenger's settlement process was very slow.
Was it that difficult to calculate...?
[The church world Seden has completed its conquest]
So far, so normal.
[Final ownership of the world fragment: Radiant Holy See... Life Esoteric Church... Painful Esoteric Sect...]
An Su watched as these three churches were repeatedly refreshed before his eyes, causing a dizzying effect.
The Celestial Messenger was bewildered by An Su's composition...
Finally, the text stabilized and settled on [Radiant Holy See].
[Generating team evaluation for unified settlement]
[Team members: Lisiter Muen, Arthur Sunny, An Su Moningsta]
[The team hunted down 130 first-order cultists, 58 second-order cultists, and one Painful Esoteric Sect Legion Commander, surviving a total of thirty-two days,]
[All missions completed]
[Overall team evaluation S+, achievement 'Triumvirate of Pain' achieved]
Lister and Arthur both wore expressions of considerable pride, even bordering on shock.
To have taken down so many cultists was one thing,
but to have killed even a Legion Commander!
Before they came, they had heard about it, that it was a Fourth-Order Peak Painful Warrior!
In a second-order world where a near-saint level leader was present for a whole decade, no saint had completed the final task.
Were the three of them so awesome?
[Now generating individual achievements]
After the overall team evaluation comes individual achievements.
Specific achievements are only available for one's own viewing.
[Lisiter Muen, survival time: 761 hours 40 minutes]
Lister calmly pushed up his glasses, confident in the glorious achievements he was about to claim. If his father heard of his accomplishments, he would surely be proud.
[Painful Hellhound C——According to statistics, you marked territory in the Esoteric Religion's school a total of forty-one times, creating a significant psychological shadow for the cultists and laying a spiritual advantage for the eradication of the Esoteric Religion]
[Sect Leader A——The sect you founded, 'Embarrassed Shy Sly Sect', has affected the development of local sects to a certain extent]
"..." Lister fell silent.
[Cunning Backstabbing Assassin A——You participated in witch-hunting operations against ten second-order cultists and thirty first-order cultists, twenty-six of whom were killed by you in backstabs while using the restroom]
[Your killing score is 45, comprehensive weighted score is 85 points, overall evaluation A]
Lister decided it was better if his father didn't find out.
Arthur was also looking quite uncomfortable.
[Painful Falcon C]
[Sect Leader A]
[Brave Frontline Fighter That Rises Straight to the Challenge A+]
After weighting, his total score was 87 points, and his evaluation was also A, but Arthur was not pleased.
His demigod father would kill him.
"Boss An Su," Arthur looked towards An Su and asked, "how did you fare?"
He tentatively asked, "Is it something you can take home to your family?"
An Su was silent; he lowered his head and silently observed the first achievement in his field of vision.
[Delicious Child S—— The Mother Goddess of Life thinks your flesh is very fresh and tasty]
