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

"I offer this city to you,"

An Su whispered.

"I invite you to dine with me."

This was the final closure.

At this moment, the crimson moonlight reached its peak.

The red moon seemed to plummet to the earth, the gaze from the spirit realm above descended upon An Su, that indescribable magnificent presence arrived here, and the entire building swayed, the canopy of the sky darkened and turned terrifying.

The red moon crawled up the chaotic streets, weaving through the densely-packed, hive-like apartment buildings, climbing along Queen Avenue, igniting the hidden altars that the believers of the Life Esoteric Church had prepared one by one.

There was originally a complete defense system in Fanael to counter the sacrificial attacks of the Life Esoteric Church.

But now all members of the City Administration Bureau were dead, there was no one left to handle affairs.

The council members had also been slaughtered, the streets destroyed, the magic network supply was annihilated, and the city's defense system had totally collapsed.

The first altar to be ignited was the Imperial Embassy, where nobles watched in terror as lumps of flesh on their bodies expanded and grew wildly, piercing through their beautiful and expensive clothing, reaching a certain peak, and then exploding, blood covering the corridors built of obsidian, flesh proliferating wildly along the corridors;

The executives of the City Administration Bureau desperately grasped their own throats as blocks of meat frenziedly grew in their windpipes, their eyes rolled back as they attempted to flee, but no one could escape the Mother Goddess's dinner table.

Layer upon layer of the Municipal Building burst open with blood, waves of flesh rolled over the historic building, twisted and profane, blood splashed as if each drop were blooming datura flowers, and the Municipal Building was decked in splendor.

Life was painting the city with moonlight as the brush and blood as the paint, vibrant yet rotten and decrepit, containing the essence of rebirth amidst death.

From high above, looking down at the center of the city, several decentralized small altars were linked together by moonlight and blood, forming the grandest of sacrificial rituals!

An Su stood on the top floor of the Municipal Building, the highest point in the entire city of chaos, the whole city lay at his feet.

Death washed over the city, completely reshuffling all power structures, the frenzied citizens cheered wildly, celebrating the great chaos, celebrating the destruction!

"Burn this city to ashes!!"

"Burn this city to ashes!"

"Chaos is the ladder to ascension—"

The remaining citizens emerged from the slums, swarming into streets that only nobles could enter, breaking through the fences of the Municipal Building, arriving directly below the Municipal Building, their faces twisted with maniacal grins, reaching out their hands, all eyes fixated on An Su Moningsta at the pinnacle of the building, shouting wildly,

"Chaos is the ladder to ascension!"

They sang praises to chaos, for only chaos could destroy the rigid social strata that had been solidified for five hundred years, and their future would climb the spiraling ladder of chaos.

"An Su Moningsta!"

"An Su Moningsta!"

The lumps of flesh that once were officials blocked Queen Avenue, the streets were filled with the stench of decay and the metallic scent of blood, the splendid blood-red moonlight had passed over all sacrificial offerings and districts, reaching the top floor of the Municipal Building,

All the moonlight, at this moment, shone solely upon An Su.

An Su felt the Mother Goddess lacked a sense of proportion.

Although the officials of the Chaotic Frontier were not numerous, the darkness element within them was far greater than that of the average citizen; these delicacies could be considered a full banquet for the Mother Goddess. Was she still not satisfied?

All the dishes on the dinner table had been consumed, she should be full by now...

Why was she still lingering here?

An Su could feel that the indescribable, magnificent gaze still lingered here, still rested upon him.

There was nothing left to eat...

An Su pondered a moment, then considered offering Celestial Space as well.

It would be fulfilling an old dream.

Too bad his current level wasn't enough.

An Su thought about the unrealistic ideas.

"I won't let you eat this time," An Su said, beginning to negotiate with the moonlight, "This world isn't the Church's, if you eat it I will die..."

One could still differentiate between being full for a meal and being full always.

The blood-red moonlight continued to envelop the youth's surroundings, as if hesitating about something, and finally, carrying a sense of regret, the moonlight at last departed, along with the Mother Goddess's attention, withdrawing back into the starry sky.

It seemed to be a signal.

The sacrificial ritual was completely over.

At the same time, Farol was completely destroyed.

The power structure had completely collapsed, turning all the blocks into ruins.

The streets, once crammed with chunks of flesh, had now been wiped clean. The bodies at the municipal building swiftly dispersed, turning into wisps of blood mist that rose into the night sky of Fanael. With a gust of night wind, they turned into dust and scattered away.

Farol had cleaned itself up, all the decay and stench had disappeared. As the blood moon gradually faded, the night sky became clear and transparent, its watery radiance covering the empty streets,

quiet and peaceful.

Perhaps this was what they meant by a cleansing wind and a clear moon.

An Su felt he had made an indelible contribution to the city's street cleaning. He should have known to apply for a cleaning license earlier.

In the sky, a few faint stars could now be seen.

The night was over.

And with the break of dawn, a new morning in Farol would arrive.

[Farol has been destroyed]

...

[Farol has been destroyed]

"Hmm...?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Luojia felt she must be seeing things.

Wasn't she just reading books for two days?

How come the city had changed so drastically as soon as she stepped out?

Luojia had always devoted herself to finding the cause of the destruction of Farol, pouring through thousands of books, and deducing based on the knowledge of Celestial Space and the laws of celestial bodies that the destruction of Farol was a once-in-ten-thousand-years occurrence, marked by "The Day of Divine Descent when the Red Moon falls."

In the early hours of this morning, the Red Moon was expected to fall.

The fall of the Red Moon was a true descent, symbolizing the fall to earth of a celestial body that represented life, and its fall was merely the beginning.

Within the next year, the stars that orbited the night sky were to fall to the world, one after another.

The destruction of Farol was but a clarion call for a god to end the world, casting the entire century into an end time.

However, the fall of the Red Moon was just a legend, with no evidence to prove such an apocalyptic catastrophe had ever occurred.

Scholars of later generations argued over it for a thousand years.

According to the sayings of later generations, every ten thousand years, the deities would wipe clean the old world.

All faith would be shattered.

And anew in the new world, reborn.

Ushering in a brand new era.

But it was still just a legend.

No one could prove that the end of the world would actually occur.

Now Luojia, had begun to refute her own theories.

She was originally very excited and couldn't wait to share her findings with An Su. If the existence of the destruction day was confirmed, it would be groundbreaking news elsewhere. Little did she expect that Farol hadn't met its end due to the Red Moon's fall.

It had destroyed itself!

The Red Moon might have appeared for a moment, but now it was back to normal... Luojia looked out the window at the clear moonlight and sighed lightly.

She looked at her pocket watch, it was just past midnight, without any changes.

According to Luojia's deductions, the Red Moon should have begun to fall by now.

The Little Holy Maiden sought to confront An Su for an explanation, having countless questions to ask.

The cause of destruction was not the deities, it was An Su!

[The Fourth Order border world has been completely cleared]

[The border world of Farol, ended]

[Returning to Celestial Space]

[Beginning settlement]

Experience tales with empire

They left Chaotic Frontier, returning to the realm of Celestial Space.

What Luojia didn't know was that after they departed, after An Su had left, the pure white, watery moon slowly started to take on a blood-like hue.
