Chapter 391 "It's Your Turn to Shut Up
[Key to Heaven]
[Epic Blessing]
[Effect: Allows entry into the Seventh Tier world: Heaven's Gate once; after use, the key's authority will disappear]
[Note: Due to your outstanding performance, you are recognized by Heaven's Gate, granting you another opportunity to enter Heaven]
This key was obtained by An Su a year ago, during his first visit to Heaven.
After An Su styled Sir Merlin Andre's hair with characteristics of the Holy Light as the Heavenly Rotation Keeper, Heaven's Gate acknowledged An Su's craftsmanship, and thus gave him this temporary key, a commendation for his excellent work.
The scepter of Heaven is the authority of the master, while the key of Heaven is a symbol of the guest.
But merely possessing such a discarded key, An Su was still insufficient to unlock the authority to Heaven, nor was he enough to turn the tables; the situation remained passive.
However, apart from the key, he had a second ace up his sleeve, which was his real trump card.
In pursuit of his beloved, Merlin Andrei had once allowed An Su to take His place, temporarily guarding Heaven for a day.
In just that single day, An Su made numerous contributions: such as reasonably adjusting the difficulty of the Deacon's examination papers, reasonably appropriating Heaven's Magic Power to research his own magic, and reasonably... sacrificed his temporary divine body to eradicate the evil Oceanic Sect.
After his heroic sacrifice, Heaven once again rewarded An Su.
[Holy Level Blessing]
[Temporary Holder of Heaven 24-Hour Experience Card]
[Effect: After the resurrection period, you can use this experience card to gain temporary authority of the Holder of Heaven for a day, and during the period of authority, you must complete the responsibilities of the Holder]
[Note: Once Again](See Chapter 212 'The Final Settlement')
Yet this holy grand authority, An Su had never used before.
He let the Last Bishop drag him to the doors of Heaven's Gate, precisely to activate this authority. From the start, An Su had never thought of running away, from the start, An Su never contemplated surrender!
From beginning to end, it was all an act.
From the time he sacrificed himself to the Mother Goddess, bearing the pain of the Magic Circuit, enduring his shell and soul being pierced by billions of 'Chaotic Spears', this was the price An Su paid to deceive the Pure White Eyes, and all of this was to ensure the Last Bishop would bring him before Heaven.
Only another Holder of Heaven can defeat the Holder of Heaven.
"Let's play a game. If you leave Heaven, you win."
— The Last Bishop's voice echoed in the boy's ears.
But from the beginning, this game did not exist; An Su never intended to leave through Heaven's doors; on the contrary, he intended to ascend Fate's Staircase, he only thought of ascending against the long steps of destiny!
Just as he had said before, only he himself could crown himself.
[Error Rate: 93%]
How could he possess that key!
The Last Bishop was too late to stop it, or rather, He was unable to stop it.
Even though the 'Chaotic Spear' pierced through all of the boy's Magic Circuits, even if the Pure White Eyes crushed every world within the boy's soul, still, He could not stop it.
Bloodied and scarred all over.
An Su, clutching the key in his hand, was also holding the glory and Radiance of the entire world, as well as its blasphemy and shadows. With a mad smile on his face, he raised his head, taking all that was flashing and chaotic in his hand, towards Heaven's Gate—
To unlock his authority!!
The Last Bishop saw the stars rise from the desolate sea, saw the grey-white long hair and starlight follow the sky's curtain, the Pure White Eyes staring fixedly at everything before Them, for the first time, fully showing an expression of astonishment.
"No one can crown me, not you, not kings, not gods."
Amidst the vast holiness, he declared calmly from the end of Fate's Staircase, the words he had once said.
But this time, it was an official pronouncement.
"My crown can only be bestowed by myself."
Thus, the door opened, all the spears, all the pressure, all the Pure White Eyes, drowned in the dark blue starlight. The vast and pure starlight swept across the sky and sprinkled down the stairs, at the end of the heavens, whether it was the blood moon or the Radiance, everything dissipated.
At this moment, only the stars in full view.
At the end of the dawn.
[Temporary Holder of Heaven]
[An Su Chenxing]
[Fate's Staircase]
[Ascended]
[Error Rate: 94%]
Before the errors reached their peak, An Su had already ascended his own Fate's Staircase.
An Su stood amidst the starlight, slowly opening His dark blue eyes, feeling the long-lost power and authority in His hands, the vast and endless Magic Power of Heaven leaping within the palm of His hand.
Under Merlin's authorization, An Su had once temporarily become the 'Holder of Heaven.'
But those were merely the rights granted by Merlin, nothing more.
Even though this was still temporary, it was the authority An Su himself acquired, the staircase he himself had climbed.
At that time, even as a temporary Holder, he could only do so much—his spiritual power was still within the realm of humanity, and even with endless Magic Power, he could only utilize one ten-thousandth.
But now, An Su's spiritual power had long surpassed the level of mortals.
Reaching the realm of a Demigod.
An Su could now fully mobilize the authority of Heaven.
'An Su Moningsta, you will also forget yourself'
