The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"I hope everyone will achieve good results."

"As a saint, there's only one most important subject."

Bishop Lannis said slowly, "The theme of this examination is 'team witch hunting'."

"The Nether World is a playground for the celestial gods, beyond the surveillance and help of the Church. The only one you can trust is your partner."

"Trust is the only standard for passing."

"And the invigilator is only the absolutely neutral incarnation of the Celestial."

As soon as his voice fell,

Flowing starlight poured down, the light interwoven into different shapes, and the alchemic magic circle at the center of the Astro Church slowly activated,

the stars on the entire dome began to rotate, converging into layers upon layers of spinning galactic maps.

It was also an examination instruction manual, but what made it different from the previous one was that this instruction manual was made of starlight.

An Su Moningsta

You are about to enter the vicinity of 'Pain and Blood,' one of the Seven Great Mystical Sects' prospective believer strongholds.

This is a training ground for esoteric forces located in a border area, where a Fourth Order legion commander is recruiting and training new Pain Warriors, providing troops for the war against the Orthodox Church.

You are to assassinate the legion commander of the Painful Esoteric Sect's training ground.

You are to eliminate sixty second-order Pain Believers.

You are to interfere with or prevent the impending arrival of two hundred first-order Pain Prospective Believers.

You are now entering the preparation process.

You can freely choose to form a team with a maximum of six people for the witch-hunting squad.

The Scales of Order will issue a corresponding number of Holy Relic supplies based on the number of people in the squad.

As you are about to enter the Nether World, the Celestial will temporarily make the examinees forget everything. Team members will undergo an assessment of their true personality components, and based on the assessment results, they will be assigned identities in the Nether World, mostly noble, soldier, official, etc. Your God-given title will not be displayed to others.

After completing the preparation, all memories of the preparation stage will be deleted, and your privacy will not be violated.

If you agree to the personality component assessment, please confirm.

The saints stared at the text on the instructions, looking very excited.

Most saints were tackling the Nether World for the first time.

Of course, there were also veterans who weren't new to assailing the Nether, like Rosen, the top-ranked saint of the Order Church. As a prospective Third-Order Order Knight, he had already assailed several Nether Frontiers.

Saints who knew each other had mostly formed teams, and Rosen, along with other high-achieving saints, had become the target of many witch-hunting squads' recruitment efforts.

Rosen seemed to have been chosen as the leader of all the squads. He flashed a perfect smile, "Don't worry everyone, I've trespassed the Nether World three times now, and I will ensure everyone's safety."

At this moment, he was very much the center of the storm, being eagerly escorted by the crowd.

In contrast, the atmosphere over where An Su was seemed rather cold.

"Why isn't anyone courting me?" Lister sighed faintly, showing an expression of heroic loneliness, "Well, it's all because I'm too low-profile."

"I think it's mostly because of Arthur," An Su said, "and partly because you smell too strong."

At this very moment, Arthur was busy as could be, hunching over slightly, bending down, gently pulling the zipper, making a concerted effort to smooth out the jammed thread.

His strange appearance made the saints attempting to approach him veer away, casting fearful and dreadful glances while whispering amongst themselves:

"Look, that's Arthur with his bare butt..."

"Is he the fool who left his underwear in the examination hall yesterday?"

"Boss An Su, Brother Lister."

Finally, Arthur was done with his task. He raised his head, revealing a warm, sunny smile, "I believe that with the friendship and trust between us, we will definitely be able to pass."

However, An Su wasn't particularly concerned about whether he was being invited.

In fact, it was better for him if no one invited him.

That way, it was easier to resort to despicable methods that couldn't stand the light of day.

As for being seen by Arthur and Lister... those two would welcome it.

Rosen had already conquered three instances?

As a speedrunner, An Su had already played through hundreds of trials.

[Confirmed]

His brain gradually became chaotic; the stars above the dome were dazzling and blinding. As his consciousness slowly shifted with the revolving starry sky, by the time his thoughts became clear, they were no longer in the Astro Church.

"So the three of them have formed a team, huh?" On the second floor of the Astro Church, Priest Paxi's mouth twitched slightly. He was genuinely worried that those three had led another invigilator astray.

Since his junior sister returned from invigilating, she seemed to have been completely transformed.

"Priest Paxi, there's no need to be so tense," Bishop Lannis said slowly, full of confidence. "The invigilator is one of the absolutely neutral celestial incarnations; there won't be any issues."

"An Su couldn't possibly make even the celestial beings change the rules."

"They should be selecting temporary Holy Relics for their supplies now."

"From the moment they signed the contract, the celestials have been evaluating their composition. The choice of their supply Holy Relics will play a certain role in determining their initial identities."

"What Holy Relics are available to choose from this time?"

"There are six Holy Relics. The 'Goddess Amulet' can increase the number of uses for Divine Titles, and there's the 'Knight's Holy Shield' that can take on damage for teammates... but since their team only has three people, they can only choose three relics."

"I see."

"However, how exactly they choose, we are unable to probe further."

...

In the Nether World.

An Su stared at the Holy Relics supplied before him, lifting his head to look at the Celestial Messenger before him.

"Have you made your choices? Your team only has three lives, so you can select three relics."

To outward appearances, the latter was simply an ordinary middle-aged man.

But faintly, there were starlights swirling in his pupils.

This was the gatekeeper of the Nether World, the absolutely neutral Celestial Messenger.

"How do you define 'life'?" An Su asked.

"The definition of life is not complicated," the messenger did not understand why An Su suddenly asked this. "All creatures with souls are lives."

"An unborn baby is also a life?"

An Su asked.

"Naturally, it is a life," the messenger answered, "according to the records in the Bible."

Although in his former life's definition, an unborn baby wasn't considered a life.

But this was another world.

"Then interdimensional beings are also 'lives'?"

"Of course."

The smile on An Su's lips became more apparent, "As long as it's life that has entered the Nether World, they are eligible to form teams, right?"

Sure enough, this method of exploiting a bug in the game was still existent in its early stages and hadn't been fixed.

And after preparation was complete, everyone's memories would be erased.

Then he could do as he pleased.

"Please begin selecting the Holy Relics," the messenger said.

"Wait a moment, our team isn't just three people," An Su said. "We're adding three more teammates."

"Three more teammates?" Arthur didn't understand what An Su meant.

Where did these three more teammates come from?

"Just bear with it for ten more minutes, it won't be born. After receiving the supplies, we'll be set," he said, speaking incomprehensibly.

"Brother Arthur, Brother Lister."

An Su turned back to them, gazing at them with a pure smile; Arthur and Lister knew this smile of An Su's well, the last time he came up with the idea of a strong man kicking eggs and Nezha causing chaos in the sea, he had smiled just as brightly!

"I believe that with the [trust] and [bonds] between our teammates, we can overcome anything."
