A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 375 Finally Entering Heaven

How many steps are there to get to heaven?

Jiang Shuzhou tells you it takes three steps.

The first step is to open the portal to heaven.

The second step is to step directly inside.

The third step is to successfully ascend to heaven.

At this very moment, Jiang Shuzhou and De Nuozhi are standing in front of the gates of Heaven.

Three pairs of pure white wings spread out, and a bright halo appeared above his head.

To give his colleagues in Heaven a good impression, Jiang Shuzhou also took off the halo and carefully wiped and polished it.

"Hi, hello, my name is Peter, do you have an appointment?"

"Why don't you take another look?"

"What? Excuse me, if you don't have... God, Archangel?"

Peter was stunned for a moment when he saw the three pairs of wings on Jiang Shuzhou's back.

Do you think I need to make an appointment?

Jiang Shuzhou had a kind smile on his face, making him look like an approachable leader.

"No need, an archangel like you naturally doesn't need it."

Peter was sweating profusely.

He had stopped the top leader.

"Peter, don't be so nervous. I'm so happy to have such a responsible person like you in heaven, how could I possibly dislike you?"

"Young man, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your job normally."

Like a true leader, Jiang Shuzhou patted Peter on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"You're right, this is the first time I've met you, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

Peter said with a smirk.

Jiang Shuzhou nodded and pulled Denuozhi along, ready to leave.

"Wait, I haven't asked your name yet!"

"Moriarty."

"You're Moriarty? Good heavens, your name has been on the list of archangels for a while now, and we haven't been able to find you all this time. We thought you were..."

"I traveled to both the human world and hell, because those places are just too miserable."

Jiang Shuzhou said with a compassionate expression.

"Yes, it's not as good as heaven, sigh..."

Peter wholeheartedly agreed.

He selectively ignored Jiang Shuzhou's unauthorized departure from Paradise.

For the archangels, this rule is no different from nothing; however, in order to stay by the Lord's side more, no archangel is willing to leave.

As for Denorchi, who was standing next to Jiang Shuzhou?

Peter didn't ask at all, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

Don't pry into the affairs of high-ranking leaders. They haven't said anything, so why are you talking nonsense?

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Peter and extracting a considerable amount of information, Jiang Shuzhou led Denozhe into Paradise.

As far as the eye can see, it's like hell, full of tall buildings. But unlike hell, this place is filled with laughter and joy.

There was no killing; everything was so orderly.

Compared to hell, this is the complete opposite.

The biggest difference is that it's not as crowded as hell here.

And everyone was very friendly, and you could get things for free without spending any money.

This situation would normally result in waste, but it's different here. Everyone takes what they need and absolutely no one takes more than necessary.

All I can say is that they have completely mastered the art of manners.

"Archangel!"

"My God, this archangel's wings are so peculiar."

"Don't comment on other people's abilities so casually, that's incredibly rude of you!"

"I'm sorry, I apologize."

Countless angels were watching this newly appointed archangel.

After all, Heaven hasn't had a new archangel for countless years; Jiang Shuzhou is the latest one.

Jiang Shuzhou was quite pleased as he strolled down the street.

"It seems you are enjoying the atmosphere here, Archangel Moriarty."

A female voice came from behind him, and Jiang Shuzhou turned his head to look. It was another archangel.

"My name is Sheila. Welcome to Heaven, the newly appointed Archangel."

The tall, beautiful woman smiled and said to Jiang Shuzhou.

"I've come to see you today because there are some things I need to discuss with you."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded upon hearing this.

"Lead the way."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou and De Nuozhi walked together on the streets of Paradise.

"What a beautiful place, yet evil things lurk there."

Jiang Shuzhou raised an eyebrow, wondering if they were talking about him.

"Those demons, they crave to trample every corner of this place at all times."

Sheila said.

"The human world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and those sinners and demons can be resurrected. Unless the angels intervene personally, they can never be completely killed."

"I can tell that you're not the kind of naive and kind-hearted person, which is why I'm telling you all this."

"I understand what you mean."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded; this meant they needed Jiang Shuzhou's help.

"We employed many strategies, including exporting divine metals to hell in the hope that they would kill each other."

"This had already suppressed the number of demons in Hell for a period of time, but the human world's population is growing exponentially while morality is declining. Heaven is sparsely populated, but Hell is already full."

"It's impossible to expect them to kill each other now, so we can only help them..."

Help? You call killing someone help?

Jiang Shuzhou was somewhat speechless, but he didn't say anything. If nothing unexpected happened, the next thing was the important thing.

"I have assembled a legion of demon-slaying angels, but due to the recent population surge in Hell, we need to expand it."

"But the expansion requires approval, which isn't something I can approve alone. I also need the approval of at least one archangel."

After Hillary finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Shuzhou, her meaning clear: she wanted Jiang Shuzhou to approve.

"I need some information for evaluation. You know, you have to consider the pros and cons in everything."

Jiang Shuzhou's subtext was that he needed Hillary's offer in exchange for something; it was impossible to get Jiang Shuzhou's approval just by talking.

What do you want?

Sheila looked at Jiang Shuzhou with a complicated expression.

"I want the right to freely enter and leave Heaven, and also the decision-making power over the exorcist angel legion, just a part of it."

"Is that all?"

Hillary was somewhat incredulous.

"Of course! What do you take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of person who fights for power and profit?"

"I understand your concerns about hell, but I also have my own considerations. I want to go and see for myself how hell has degenerated."

Jiang Shuzhou's words were stern and earnest; someone who didn't know better might actually think he was a good person.

In fact, Jiang Shuzhou intended to use this legion as a tool to escalate conflicts, so that both sides would be under his control, allowing him to manipulate the situation at will.

As for the power of Heaven?

This thing is completely useless; Jiang Shuzhou doesn't need it.

"As you wish, I will grant you this power as well."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded.

"At the same time, I propose that we conduct a monthly cleansing of hell, since hell has become defiled again."

"Impossible. At most once this month, the rest will continue in six months."

"You're being too extreme."

Sheila said.

Recently, since the formation of the Exorcising Angel Legion, Heaven has been sending angels into Hell every December 13th to cleanse all sinners and demons.

It's only June now, far from the time for cleaning.

If it weren't for the sheer number of demons flooding into hell these past few days, Sheila wouldn't have been willing to undergo another one recently.

"Filth should be cleansed, and this time, I will do it myself."

The smile on Jiang Shuzhou's face faded, replaced by indifference.
