Chapter 999 -352: Don’t Come Back If You Can’t Find Beyard
Unlike the conniving Demon Scholars, one of the strengths of the Son of the Moon is their unity.
For the common interest of their race, they can even set aside past grievances – back then, to help Valentine I increase his level, Pengbonazi had made all the Sons of the Moon within the entire Star Antimony extinct.
Alchemists possess the “Charm Dispelling Power” that allows them to deconstruct other’s extraordinary abilities to gain power that is uniquely their own. In this process, a large amount of consumables are also needed. The eventual perfection of the “Triumphal Chariot of Antimony” is not unrelated to the sacrifices of these Sons of the Moon.
That is also why the “Triumphal Chariot of Antimony” speaks of the “Path of Transcendence that elevates the animal nature into the divine”.
Translated, this means “Using the power of the transcendence to elevate the Beast’s Path into the pure Path of Love”. And this is precisely identical to the realm of “Perfect Being” that the Sons of the Moon pursue, which can also be understood as their exclusive mental method.
It could even be said that the feasibility of the “Perfect Being” legend was confirmed after Valentine I “violently unpacked” it.
It is because all the other Sons of the Moon in Star Antimony perished back then that all the current Sons of the Moon uniquely stem from the lineage of the Red Chancellor.
– And under such circumstances, that Pengbonazi, of all people, is now part of the grand union of the Sons of the Moon, even though it’s partly because he’s the most powerful among them now, it also shows the extreme unity within the Sons of the Moon.
Even when most Sons of the Moon harbor immense hatred for Dracula Cai Pei Shi, the last Duke Dacula responsible for the fall of Narcissus Duchy, to the point of collectively abandoning their faith in Eternal Self… Lucia Caipes, his granddaughter, can still stay safe and sound as a flower vase in the Iris Flower, which sufficiently shows the Sons of the Moon’s trust in and protection of their own kind.
“So, if we can obtain the power of the Blood Celestial Marshal or the Banquet Master, we can also ascend to the Sixth Power Level!”
Count Leipzig became increasingly excited as he spoke: “Moreover, the person serving as the sacrifice carrying the power of the Celestial Marshal might not necessarily die… because we all have quite strong immortality. To take a step back, even if it really requires a sacrifice… as I know, those Moonlight Scholars who have faith in Eternal Self possess the level of the Path of Devotion.”
“If the Demon Scholars complete the ritual of the Ring of Ouroboros first and secure the early advantage… our ritual is very likely to be obstructed.”
“Hmm, not bad.”
The Red Chancellor looked at Count Leipzig appreciatively but then changed tone: “But do you think such a simple matter, I haven’t thought of it?”
“So…?”
“- So, I’m waiting for them to test the waters. A stone slab that suddenly unearthed, which records an ancient ceremony that no one has ever used, involving power at the level of a Celestial Marshal… Heh, probably only those arrogant Demon Scholars would dare to use it directly without experimenting.”
The Red Chancellor said unhurriedly: “I never told you about this, but now… you’re increasingly satisfying me. There’s no harm in telling you.”
“Actually, I’ve seen this ceremony before. A long, long time ago.”
“…What?”
Count Leipzig was shocked.
He had never heard of such a thing!
“Don’t tell me you really believe that the extinction of Heracles was because they disrespected the gods, due to the Empire’s corruption and angered the Pillar Gods?”
Pengbonazi said sarcastically: “That’s just an excuse used to explain the sudden extinction of the powerful Helasal Empire. They can’t really blame it on the Sons of the Moon or the Demon Scholars, right? They are ‘one of their own’.”
“…I have also heard that it was the Demon Scholars who summoned a powerful Demon, leading to the slaughtering of the Royal Family.”
Count Leipzig said honestly.
At least that’s what the textbooks from Avalon and Iris Flower say.
“That’s already pretty close. Or rather, both versions are true, but they’re just incomplete truths.”
Pengbonazi shook his head: “The real reason is that, back in the day, there were believers of the Serpent Celestial Marshal within the Heracles Royal Family — as is well known, the Crown Lord who ascended had once signed a contract with the Serpent Celestial Marshal as a Transcender.”
“The Royal Family at that time, upon excavating this slab, attempted to summon the Serpent Celestial Marshal with this ceremony.”
“— They succeeded, and they failed.”
Count Leipzig listened intently.
This level of classified knowledge, no more than three people in Star Antimony would know. Being privy to such information undoubtedly signifies that he has truly become one of Pengbonazi’s ‘own’!
He murmured: “Success… and failure?”
“Yes, they did indeed use this ceremony to summon the Serpent Celestial Marshal to this world and collectively ascended to the Sixth Power Level.”
“Collectively… Sixth Power Level!”

Count Leipzig couldn’t help but be excited, even if he had no part in the ceremony – such a miracle was still worthy of awe.
It meant that as a race of weak humans, they replicated en masse the rare miracles among Elves!
“What happened next?”
“I don’t know.”
Pengbonazi said honestly: “If I knew, I wouldn’t be here right now. But the principal might know… he was affected back then too.”
“Some say it’s because the Hourglass could not allow so many people to touch the Wall of Balance, thus descending divine punishment; some say it’s because they attempted to act against the Serpent Celestial Marshal after ascending and thus were attacked by the Serpent Celestial Marshal… In any case, nearly half of the capital was turned to complete ruins. The force that pervaded it, still existing to this day, makes it difficult to enter. The overwhelming energy inside truly embodies the residual power of the transcendence and the Path of Balance, at least Celestial Marshal level.”
