Chapter Summaries

Ansu watched from the River of Life as the Azure Witch drove the world toward dusk and attacked Cersei, then intervened through the Saintess of Morningstar to protect her. The Saintess revealed that she intended to devour Cersei herself, leaving Ansu’s promise to become Cersei’s Guardian Knight twisted into a threat.

• Ansu watched the World Error Degree rise as the Azure Witch’s rampage brought the world closer to dusk, while the Saintess of Morningstar consumed his flesh.
• The Azure Witch gathered her blessings, reached demigod-level power, and shattered the Dawn Church’s barrier as she attacked Cersei.
• Ansu reached across the River of Life and stopped the Azure Witch’s strike, allowing the Saintess of Morningstar to shield Cersei.
• The Saintess of Morningstar apologized to Cersei, then used her Azure Magic Eyes to devour her and promised to keep her forever in her stomach.

After Cersei’s body was sacrificed and the Saintess of Morningstar gained immense power, the Azure Witch began destroying the world. Ansu used his knowledge of the Azure Witch and Morningstar’s body to reveal the Second Circuit of Holy Light Judgment, repeatedly rolling time back and preventing the world from reaching total collapse.

• Ansu sacrificed Cersei’s body to the Saintess of Morningstar, who absorbed it and received a vast blessing from Mother God.
• The Azure Witch, furious that Morningstar had eaten Cersei, used her Magic Eye to drag the collapsing world into the River of Life.
• In the River of Life, Ansu told Cersei he would take control of Morningstar and use the Second Circuit of Holy Light Judgment.
• Ansu joined his consciousness with Morningstar’s and invoked Judgment Light as the world reached one hundred percent collapse.
• Ansu’s Second Circuit reversed the life-time of everything it illuminated by one second, creating an endless rollback between total collapse and ninety-nine percent collapse.

Ansu trapped himself and the Azure Witch in a one-second loop, enduring more than twenty thousand deaths and revivals in the River of Life while the Witch expected his will to break. After six hours, he revealed that his cat had used the Dawn Ritual, and daylight broke over the ruined world.

• The Judgment Angel's Holy Light Judgment trapped Ansu and the Azure Witch in a repeating one-second loop, while Ansu and Cersei repeatedly fell into the River of Life.
• The Azure Witch tried to escape and destroy the looping world, but the Judgment Angel restored the effects and Ansu's soul continued to endure the cycle.
• The demigod spirits watched Ansu persist through more than twenty thousand falls, while Cersei lost consciousness and the Azure Witch waited for Ansu to give up.
• Ansu counted twenty-one thousand six hundred loops and realized that six hours had passed, enough time for another Dawn Ritual to restrain the Azure Witch.
• Ansu revealed that his cat had agreed to help and had studied ancient texts about holy light.
• The cat meowed from the ruins, the Dawn Ritual brought sunlight to the world, and Ansu rose into the dawn.

Ansu used the Dawn Ritual to defeat the Azure Witch, then fused with her and claimed the Naraku World as his own. The world became Morningstar, and a final mission named Ansu himself as its next error factor.

• Luo Xiaohei performed the Dawn Ritual in cat form, while Morningstar completed his missions after enduring 21,600 deaths.
• Morningstar reversed the Azure Witch’s time, stripping away her defenses so the dawn could burn her and drive her toward the crack in the sky.
• Morningstar avoided resetting his own time, reached the Azure Witch, and stabbed her with the Redemption Holy Sword.
• The Azure Witch accepted Ansu’s offer to become his strength, and he fused with her past and future, becoming a new error factor.
• The Astral System declared the Azure Witch dead and issued a final mission for Ansu to defeat himself.
• Ansu claimed the world, which broke away from Radiance’s jurisdiction and became the first-tier artificial world Morningstar.

Ansu defeated the Azure Witch and fell asleep after surviving 21,600 deaths, while the chaos around the examination site grew beyond the Holy See’s control. As the error level crossed its critical threshold, Merlin saw something that made him break free and furiously accuse Ansu of stealing his exam hall.

• Ansu claimed the Azure Redemption Holy Sword, then spared Luo Xiaohei and praised her before collapsing into sleep.
• The examination ended, but the Holy See and Imperial Capital descended into chaos as officials feared the unstable Naraku World could spill into reality.
• The monitoring system reported Ansu Morningstar and Cersei Milton deceased, prompting Luojia, Enya, the borderlanders, and the Royal Knights to press against the Holy See’s blockade.
• The demigods interrogated Merlin, who revealed that the next Red Moon Incident and a new Naraku era were approaching.
• The Astral Priests announced that the world’s error had exceeded its critical threshold, and Merlin broke free from God's Lock after seeing something through his Pure White Eyes.

After returning from the River of Life, Ansu interpreted his recurring dreams as signs that he was moving closer to the center of a cosmic feast, then completed the third exam and received an alarming world rating. The chapter ended with Luo Xiaohei protesting her new role as a bell-tower rooster while Ansu stared at his title, “The Delicious Child Who Teased the Mother Goddess of Life.”

• Ansu awoke in his restored body in Astral Space and reasoned that his three dreams showed his changing place in a feast of consumption as his power grew.
• Ansu met the Astral Envoy, who blamed him for destroying the simulated envoy and relayed Cersei’s message that she wanted him to become a Saint and meet her in the Real World.
• The exam ended, and the settlement verified Luo Xiaohei as the Radiant Holy Pet and awarded full scores for the first two missions.
• The world report said Luo Xiaohei’s role as a sacred cat inspired the Dawn Meow Meow Cult, but Archbishop Morningstar later assigned her to replace the rooster in the bell tower.
• Ansu saw his SSS World Rating, “The Delicious Child Who Teased the Mother Goddess of Life,” and froze in shock.

Ansu received an SSS settlement for his exploits in Dawn, which had become the unstable Morning Star World under his control, and earned sixty-five points in the interrupted Saint Trial. He returned to the Real World and reunited with Luojia, who rushed into his arms.

• Ansu read the Astral System’s assessment, which awarded him an SSS rating for repeatedly entering Mother Goddess of Life’s River and escaping her grasp.
• The Astral System could not assign a rating to Morning Star Era, and Ansu learned that Dawn had become Morning Star World, with the sleeping Azure Saintess serving as its guardian.
• Ansu received forty-five points for Dawn and sixty-five points overall, leaving him five points short of a perfect score and ahead of the other examinees unless Cersei’s result changed the ranking.
• Ansu considered the gains to his soul, body, and newly acquired world before the Astral Envoy sent him back to the Real World.
• Ansu emerged from Room Sixteen amid the chaos outside the church and froze when Luojia threw herself into his arms.

Ansu reunited with Luojia after returning from the exam, then learned Arthur and Liszt had forgotten to renew their gender-bending magic and were seized by their fathers. As the final rankings were announced in Farol, Ansu took first place despite clearing only three worlds, with his World Impact too high to rate.

• Ansu reassured Luojia that he was safe, and she and Luo Xiaohei competed for his attention while the Astral Envoy watched in disbelief.
• Arthur and Liszt praised Ansu for destroying the exam hall, but Ansu reminded them that their gender-bending magic had expired and their fathers were waiting; both were dragged away.
• Enya confronted Ansu through his shadow about the girls he had encountered, and Luojia led him toward the waiting crowd outside the church.
• The crowd gathered as the Magic Screen announced Liszt in fifth place, Arthur in fourth, Luojia in third, and Cersei in second.
• The Magic Screen named Ansu first place with three worlds cleared, sixty-five points, and an average World Impact of SSS+, which it could not rate.

Ansu’s extraordinary examination results left Farol’s believers and Saints in financial and emotional ruin, while Luojia revealed that she had bet her entire yearly stipend on him. Ansu accepted her ticket and promised she would never lose a bet on him, and Luojia asked him to share Blueberry Cakes with her the next day.

• Ansu’s results showed sixty-five points from only three worlds and a Cannot Be Rated evaluation, prompting priests to realize he had slain the Azure Witch’s projection.
• Radiant Saints and Chaos infiltrators lamented their losses after betting on Cersei, while Sister Chaos Elevator admitted that she had also gambled away her funds.
• Ansu noticed Luojia had recorded the money and cakes she owed him in a notebook and learned she had bought a three-hundred-gold betting ticket on his victory.
• Luojia told Ansu she had chosen to bet on him because she believed he would win, despite having spent her entire yearly stipend.
• Ansu accepted Luojia’s betting ticket and promised she would never lose a bet on him, and Luojia asked him to let her repay the remaining debt with Blueberry Cakes tomorrow.

Ansu woke to a pile of urgent messages, including a royal gift, a promotion ceremony, and requests from the Church and Magic Guild, while Luo Xiaohei’s attempt to attack him was derailed by a laser pointer. He prepared to leave for his important appointment, kept a humble lottery ticket, and Enya returned to writing her novel, confident it would remain popular.

• Luo Xiaohei tried to pounce on Ansu but chased his infrared laser pointer out the window and fell from the third floor.
• Enya woke Ansu and delivered messages about Lord Carlo, negotiations over the Naraku World, a royal congratulation from Cersei, and Ansu’s God-Bestowed Title ceremony.
• Ansu recalled that the top five candidates would become deacons directly and that passing the postponed final test could make him a priest.
• Ansu chose to redeem the gold-mine lottery ticket and kept the ordinary ticket on which someone had bet that he would win.
• Enya watched Ansu leave on time, then resumed writing The Legend of the Saintess Subduing Demons, believing her novel had nothing to fear.

Ansu and Luojia argued over who would pay for their cakes, then turned Luojia’s request for credit into a wager involving fifty cake shops. Ansu backed Luojia’s future and challenged her to keep trusting her judgment, leaving her speechless at his faith in her.

• Luojia admitted she had no money for the bill, so she recorded the cakes and milk as debts in her ledger while Ansu refused to pay for her.
• Luojia asked Ansu to let her buy on credit, and Ansu agreed but insisted on making their wager bigger.
• Ansu paid with a valuable Betting Ticket and bought all fifty Fili Family cake shops, then declared that Luojia owed him the shops as well.
• Ansu told Luojia that she was the true Saintess and promised her future would exceed the value of fifty cake shops, wagering that she would succeed.
• Luojia called Ansu sly and accused him of cheating after he told her to choose whether to keep the debt or settle their accounts.

Ansu tried to trade his betting ticket for Luojia’s fifty cake shops, but Luojia refused the deal and insisted on taking his ticket instead. After they settled their awkward bill and admitted their first lies to each other, they turned to the meeting’s real purpose: a clue about the Red Moon Incident and the second Chaos Fragment.

• Ansu offered Luojia fifty cake shops in exchange for her signing a contract, but she stopped before signing and rejected the shops.
• Luojia asked Ansu for his betting ticket, and he agreed to give it to her after she explained that she would not give away a ticket he had cast for her.
• The manager demanded payment for their bill, and Luojia used her hidden cake money to pay three gold coins and ten Copper Coin.
• Luojia confessed that she had lied about being out of money because she did not want to be even with Ansu, and Ansu told her to pay the bill.
• Luojia kept Ansu’s betting ticket and warned him that their information from the Naraku World concerned the Red Moon Incident and the coordinates of the second Chaos Fragment.

Ansu registered Morning Star as his private world, then returned there to receive Mother God's Blessing, which strengthened his body and soul. He left ready to test his new abilities, while Miss Bone revealed a crude use for his Second Circuit of Judgment Light.

• Luojia showed Ansu a second coordinate clue from the Age of Chaos, but Ansu refused to explore the world because he had other obligations.
• Ansu registered Morning Star at the Astral First Church and learned Merlin had blamed him for accounting discrepancies at several Holy Sees.
• The Astral Priest gave Ansu the emblem of Morning Star's owner and guided him back to the ruined Dawn Church.
• Ansu received Mother God's Blessing, raising his physical strength to peak fourth-tier and his soul to high fifth-tier.
• After recovering, Ansu connected with Miss Bone, who suggested repeatedly using Holy Light Judgment on an enemy while he used the toilet.

Ansu reunited with Miss Bone in the ruined Dawn Grand Cathedral, where she explained her fanatical devotion and promised to rebuild the cathedral for him. As Ansu prepared for the approaching Imperial Capital Fall, he searched the stars for the world Luojia had mentioned and found it missing, while a figure in heaven learned that his retirement had been delayed.

• Miss Bone proposed using Holy Light Judgment and time loops to torment cultists and suppress their birth rate, then called another time-loop spell the Love Loop Style.
• Ansu found Miss Bone cleaning Dawn Grand Cathedral with the Saintess of Dawn's body and learned she intended to rebuild the cathedral for him.
• Miss Bone declared that Ansu was her only god and threatened to kill and consume him if he abandoned her; Ansu promised they were each other's gods and ordered her to defeat Merlin.
• Ansu assessed Miss Bone's near-demigod strength and resolved to face the approaching Imperial Capital Fall rather than flee or join Luojia's expedition.
• Ansu searched the stars for Naraku World coordinates 000 002 129 but found no star there, only an unfamiliar unregistered star at 000 002 121.
• A figure above the ten-thousand-step staircase recited the Apocalypse and remarked that his term of office was ending, but a voice from the shadows told him retirement had been delayed.

Ansu trained relentlessly with Bone in the Morningstar world and discovered that the Age of Chaos Naraku World was moving toward the Real World. He realized its impending descent could devastate Farol and that he might be destined as food for the gods.

• Ansu learned that Bone’s famous title was actually “Most Disgusting Witch of Thirty Thousand Years” and heard how her endless-summoning battle style earned it.
• Ansu proposed trapping Merlin in an endless cycle of Holy Light Judgment during his final second at work, and Bone admired the idea.
• Ansu and Bone trained by repeatedly exhausting and restoring their mana, pushing Ansu close to death while strengthening his body, soul, and magic.
• Ansu and Bone perfected Holy Light Judgment’s Mana Circuit, reducing its mana cost enough for it to be used twice before Ansu’s body reached its limit.
• Ansu noticed the Age of Chaos star had shifted from coordinates (000 000 121) to (000 000 115) and concluded that the Naraku World was descending toward the Real World.
• Ansu connected the approaching world to prophecies and his dreams, then realized the gods’ feast might have him as its appetizer.

Ansu connected the Chaos Heresy’s schemes to a falling star that threatened Farol and recruited Arthur and Liszt to help investigate and prepare. Their attempt to hold a secret meeting in an alley ended with Arthur’s altered Order Edict clearing everyone away for a very different reason.

• Ansu concluded that the Chaos Heresy wanted the falling star’s coordinates so it could seize the Naraku World before the Holy Sees and bring about the next Age of Chaos.
• Ansu told Arthur and Liszt that Farol faced a possible catastrophe, and they agreed to warn the Sun Legion and gather intelligence while posing as heretics.
• Ansu summoned the Chaos Followers to a meeting in a secluded room on Oak Street, where Liszt posted a Dispelling Order outside.
• Liszt’s edict advertised magical A.V. filming and drew a crowd of curious onlookers instead of dispersing them.
• Arthur changed the edict to advertise magical G.V. filming and an invitation to join, causing everyone in the alley to flee.

Ansu’s attempt to clear the alley for a secret meeting left Arthur outside to fight an ever-growing crowd of monsters and bizarre participants. As the meeting continued inside, the spectacle unfolded across from the Grand Duke of the Sun’s Mansion, where Annan joined the fray in fury.

• Arthur used an Order edict to drive away bystanders, but people with forbidden interests remained to watch Ansu.
• Ansu temporarily changed Arthur back into a man and threw him into the crowd before sealing himself inside the room.
• Chaos Elevator added permission for electric shock play to the edict, and a Suffering Cultist added permission for bald people.
• An Ocean Cult follower added permission for marine life, bringing electric eels and squid into Arthur’s chaotic battle.
• Annan looked out from his mansion, saw Arthur wrestling with the crowd, and attacked him with his Sun Thunder God Severing Sword.

Ansu’s secret meeting spiraled into a chaotic spectacle when Grand Duke Annan attacked his son Arthur, whose desperation to avoid his father’s “Great Sun Person” trial awakened his will to endure Sun Fire. Ansu then revealed that the Age of Chaos was approaching and transferred the eager Esoteric Cultists to a rebuilding Naraku World under the Azure Witch’s guidance.

• Ansu watched Arthur fight demons and monsters outside the meeting place as the Esoteric Cultists mistook the chaos for his elaborate plan.
• Liszt added a “father and son” tag to the door, and Grand Duke Annan arrived, unleashing Sun Fire on Arthur as a trial.
• Arthur endured the flames, convinced that surrender would expose him to his father’s “Great Sun Person” technique.
• Ansu told the Esoteric Cultists that the Age of Chaos was approaching and concluded that their infiltration had served as a diversion for the bishop’s true scheme.
• Ansu offered to send the Esoteric Cultists to a Naraku World to work with the Azure Witch, and they eagerly accepted the transfer.

Ansu watched Arthur awaken Sun Fire and help him name it Little Yoko, then questioned Grand Duke Annan about Heaven's Gate and the Red Moon's fall. Annan gave Ansu a Sun Fire flower and dismissed his theory as the product of overthinking.

• Ansu revived Arthur by whispering a provocative phrase, and Arthur's Sun Fire manifested as flaming underwear with powerful defensive and offensive traits.
• Arthur named his Sun Fire Little Yoko and used it to defeat the returning Bearmen, Bald Strongman, and Tentacle Man.
• Grand Duke Annan revealed that he had watched as a fire projection and praised Ansu and Liszt for helping Arthur awaken his Sun bloodline.
• Ansu proposed that Heaven's Gate was the boundary through which the Red Moon descended and destroyed the Age of Chaos, then asked Annan whether his deduction was correct.
• Grand Duke Annan pressed a Sun Fire flower into Ansu's soul and said that Ansu had gone mad from studying.

Ansu survived the Sun's Fire and gained a small dark blue flame in his soul, while Grand Duke Annan repeatedly misread the names Ansu wrote for it. As Ansu prepared for his high-profile investiture ceremony, he worried that the royal family's public involvement could damage his standing in the Holy See, but the evening paper's headline revealed a wildly different scandalous story.

• Ansu endured the Sun's Fire as the water of life in his Soul Origin blended with it, leaving a harmless flame in his soul.
• Grand Duke Annan mocked Ansu's literacy and misread the names he wrote, eventually mistaking Starfire for “Day-born Human.”
• Arthur defeated the demon men, and Ansu returned home to change into his new Deacon uniform with Miss Maid's help.
• Ansu considered the political risks of attending the grand investiture ceremony, which the Farol Royal Family and Princess Cersei would publicly attend.
• Ansu had Enya buy an evening paper and saw the headline, “Shocking: Son of the Sun Impregnated, Grand Duke Annan Personally Presides!”
