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

The azure starlight flowed gently.

[Begin settlement]

[Members of this world conquest - Merlin Andre, Ansu Moningsta. The team has achieved the following achievements.]

[Peaceful Holy Light Exorcism S - A million tormented souls have been completely purified; under the vast and warm Holy Light, there are no longer any sufferings or toils, only eternal tranquility.]

[Perfect Attendance Indicator SSS - Merlin Andre did not take a single day off for an entire year. The Demigod dedicated himself entirely to the Radiance with utter devotion and without a word of complaint.]

...

All the achievements listed above were obtained by Merlin, while Ansu's contribution value was zero.

There were too many to list.

Having guarded the Gates of Heaven for a full year of three hundred and sixty-five days, that is to say, having undertaken three hundred and sixty-five world conquests, Merlin's long list of achievements was endless, and since his overtime was still ongoing, the list was still growing.

From this perspective, Mage God Merlin truly was one of the most powerful Demigods of the Radiant Holy See.

In the past, protecting Heaven required several Demigods to guard it together, yet Merlin alone took on the jobs of several bishops.

To a Seventh Order Demigod-level world, Ansu was simply not qualified to take part in its conquest.

That he could have his name listed this time was all thanks to clinging to His Excellency Merlin's coattails.

However, Ansu did leave His Excellency Merlin with a very cool hairstyle, which could be considered a repayment for his kindness. With such a top-notch hairstyle, surely His Excellency Merlin's status within the Radiant Holy See, and even within the Septenary Church, would be further elevated.

Ansu's personal evaluation was also generated.

It was generated quite rapidly this time,

Ansu was prepared in his heart; he knew the score wouldn't be high, in fact, it would be very, very low.

But this did not mean that the value of the score would be low,

because this was a Seventh Order world, a fragment of the Demigod-level Nether World.

The standard of evaluation was also of the Seventh Order world.

By comparison,

A Second Order world fragment like 'Seden Town' was merely the size of a common small town, while a Fourth Order world like 'City of Radiance' had the size of a city,

but a Seventh Order world was close to a real world in size.

The same achievements that might earn an S in Seden Town could struggle to scrape together a C at the Gates of Heaven.

Demigod-level battles were worthy of being called 'holy wars.'

And Ansu was currently just a Third Order saint, not even an official deacon.

A common saint partaking in a Demigod-level holy war and even making some contributions would have been considered scandalous outside this context.

Pure gilding.

Ansu's mouth curved into a sunny smile. The rewards didn't matter; what was important was having been able to participate in such a glorious battle and contribute to the spread of the Holy Light, which made him feel gratified.

Indeed, he was the most loyal saint of the Goddess of Holy Light.

After the series of achievements of Merlin were finally settled, it was Ansu's turn; the celestial settlement was very quick this time.

[Attendance Supervisor C: You successfully managed the Holder of Heaven for three days and nights, helping him fulfill a year of perfect attendance.]

[Holy Light of Buddhism D+: Under the authorization and guidance of Heaven's rotation Holder, a rare branch of Holy Light, 'Buddha Light,' was temporarily born, and with Heaven's blessings, you spread the Holy Light of Buddhism to the heretical believers.]

[Mr. Ansu Moningsta is a devout believer. Through his many years of study, he determined that Buddha Light is also a rare branch of Holy Light.]

This must be the ultimate conceptual development of the first magic branch of [Judgment Light].

It evolved from the physical 'shaving light' into the 'Buddha Light' that cuts away attachments.

Ansu thought to himself.

```

However, this was only a temporary promotion to the 'Divine Grade' by Heaven, akin to a trial card.

To earn it permanently, An Su would need to raise his own rank and continuously perfect his magic circuit.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Essentially, magic creation is based on the knowledge and concepts of the creator, for example, X-rays also originated this way.

An Su was quite satisfied with this evaluation; Holy Light is of course a kind of Buddhist light,

when converted, there is no problem at all, the Radiant Goddess is the Great Compassionate and Bright Bodhisattva, the God of Order is Sakya Arhat, and the Mother Goddess of Life can be referred to as Peacock Bright King, Mother of Buddha—after all, She has a fondness for eating children.

In Buddhism, there are mages, and within the Church, there are mages, so isn't the Church equivalent to Buddhism?

One must think more broadly.

Holy Light should not be confined to a single line of thought.

[Emotion Master D: Under the enlightenment and inspiration of Master An Su, General Rada finally understood his feelings for the rotational Holder of Heaven. Although good and evil are distinct, General Rada is willing to wait]

"..."

We're not buddies.

The corners of An Su's mouth twitched as he looked left and right, utterly failing to comprehend the sentence; this was not just a distinction between good and evil—this was a distinction between species.

[Top Hairstylist D: You provided free charitable haircuts to one thousand one hundred suffering Angel Envoys, charging no fees, and designed innovative hairstyles for the rotational Holder of Heaven]

[Reward Settlement: Key of Heaven (1)]

Amidst the flux of celestial bodies, the brilliant starlight slowly converged, a misty cyan light orb drifted toward An Su, who casually caught it.

[Key of Heaven]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Grants one-time entry into the Seventh Order world: Heaven's Gate, after which the key will automatically disappear]

[Note: Due to your outstanding performance, you have been recognized by Heaven's Gate and can reenter Heaven once] Find your next adventure on empire

[Individual Achievement Calculation Complete, Overall Rating: D+]

An Su was very pleased with the result, as it was an unexpected joy.

The high or low rating doesn't matter, what's most important is leaving one's name in the Seventh Order world.

For a saint, this kind of record is something that no amount of blessings could buy.

Moreover, in An Su's original expectations, he thought he would just get a D, given that he hadn't actually contributed much; the magic power and the right to use magic were authorized by Merlin, but to his surprise, there was a D+.

The highest grade was for being a diligent overseer.

Looking at the key emitting cyan starlight in his hand, which slowly merged into his palm and bound with his soul, An Su fell into thought.

This gave An Su an idea.

If he monitored Merlin in the future, copying his magic, could he always earn the 'Diligent Overseer' achievement each time and possibly gain another Key of Heaven?

Would this allow him to achieve an infinite torment loop?

An Su even had the illusion that perhaps the celestial bodies or Heaven's Gate had deliberately given him this reward.

The Magic God would certainly welcome it...

An Su thought to himself, after all, he had given Merlin such a stylish hairstyle.

Unbeknownst to him, high above in the distant stars, the self-proclaimed absolutely neutral Celestial Messenger watched this scene, a satisfied smile curving at the corners of his mouth.

Since becoming a Celestial Messenger, he hadn't encountered a breed like An Su in decades.

The last breed he encountered was that damned Merlin Andre!

The born must give the born a grind!
