For him, his spiritual journey has been about truth, and he knows that the CoD is the one with the truth. To be allowed into the CoD, and discover the truth is an important life goal for him. To do so, he needs to turn himself into the most eligible candidate for ascension.
His plan requires killing much of the secret Vahanlen Cloisters, the place where all the royal children were gathered as well as a CoD member, possibly Chimao Se the Mother Conveyer or a different person. He believed that if he were to do that then he would be come the next in line for ascension to the CoD.
He is incorrect, as even if there are no more successors to the CoD from amongst the Vahanlen, a CoD would never come from one of the lower ranks of the Yan, especially from a true believer. The CoD would rather recruit from one of the sitting royalty and rebuild from there. Ironically his devoutness to the CoD is what makes him the least likely to be chosen.
