Baili Qing's explanation left Yu Sheng utterly bewildered.
After hearing it all, his greatest takeaway was that organized groups really were formidable when it came to theory. The "Holy Ascetic Society" was far more impressive than those lunatic Angel Cultists. No wonder they could create something as absurd as an "Artificial Saintess" and still occupy their own territory, while the Angel Cultists could only kill themselves and hope they might startle a Dark Angel into letting their "Lord" spare them a glance—their ability to get things done was on an entirely different level.
As for whether the Holy Ascetic Society's theory of "repairing mortals and the entire world through sanctification" made any sense, he had no interest in analyzing it in detail.
After all, this was the sort of thing heretics came up with. It certainly had to sound inflammatory. Even if it was fundamentally twisted logic, they would surely find a way to package it until it looked smooth and polished. Otherwise, how would they recruit members?
After all, truly sincere people who wanted to take revenge on society had always been a minority. If you ran a lively grassroots organization and openly declared that your goal was to make the world burn, the only people you would attract were failures who had already been beaten black and blue by the world and were full of grievances. But if you said, "The purpose of this organization is to bring warmth to the entire world through scientific innovation," then anyone hearing it would immediately think the organization was highly cultured...
Yu Sheng's mind wandered through this string of thoughts. It did not even take him a few seconds before he asked another question. "Does the Holy Ascetic Society cause much trouble for The Crossroads? Have they caused trouble here before?"
