"The more the Church supports me, the more it proves I have done the right thing. The more the heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing."
"Even when heretics praise me, it further proves I'm right. If heretics stay silent, it shows I have done impeccably!"
"If the Church opposes me, it means they have all fallen into evil heresy, and the more heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing."
In the year 681, An Su was crowned the youngest Pope in the history of the Church. During his speech, he provided important guidance for the forthcoming de-divination work, emphasizing:

But the star was about to fall, and An Su needed tonight's coronation ceremony, the blessing of the gods, which only the Saintess could bestow through baptism, and there were only two Saintesses.


The most crucial point was that An Su prided himself on having been born entirely dark. The only thing he could remotely call virtuous was that he didn't emotionally blackmail others—he was skilled in physical kidnapping, but not moral hostage-taking, nor did he beg people; he preferred to be passive.


She had no obligation to confront the Royal Family, such a huge awakening.
