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

The priests couldn't believe it, those twisted individuals from the frontier surely couldn't have wreaked havoc on all the other Churches...

Let alone surpass that Princess.

They subconsciously looked at the current overall rankings,

In first place, Cersei Milton, with a score of thirty points, had passed the Druid Room, the Radiance Room, and the Order Room, with a global impact of S-

In second place, Luojia Fast, with a score of twenty points had passed the Radiance Room and the Healing Room, with a global impact of A+

In third place, An Su Moningsta, with a score of ten points had passed the Alchemy and Machinery Room, with a global impact of S Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

Tied for third place...

Since the Alchemy Room posed questions personally set by Bishop Morgan and was among the most challenging of the seven rooms, the newcomers from the frontier were relatively behind in the rankings.

The method of ranking first considered whether the room tasks had been completed. Each task had points, and completing all would result in a perfect score of ten. If candidates had the same score, their global impact would then be assessed, and those with higher influence ranked higher.

If the global impact was below grade A, it indicated that the saint's impact was less significant than the original incident.

The currently first-ranked Princess, in an effort to maintain her public image, had yet to resort to any unorthodox methods, but being a once-in-a-millennium saint, she managed things better than historical sages simply by using conventional thinking.

Having already cleared the third room, if she were to remove her restraints, she would only become more terrifying.

Following closely behind was Saintess Luojia, who had passed two rooms.

For An Su to surpass the Princess, he had to ensure completion of all room tasks and at the same time have the world evaluations at least above grade A.

He wanted to leave the Alchemy Room's restaurant, using freezing magic to maintain the Blood Redemption Long Blade in his hand as he headed to the next room. The Alchemy Room was the ancient castle's restaurant, and An Su was now walking in the corridor outside the restaurant. The cold moonlight flowed like water on the ground.

Following the directions, An Su arrived at the door of the next room. Compared to the Alchemical Church's door, guided by giant gears and filled with a mechanical, heavy metallic feel, this new room's door appeared more simple and clear, with a frame filled with the regular and aesthetically pleasing vine pattern, green vines hanging down, even the moonlight stripping away the chill and imbued with a breath of life.

The second room, Druid and Forest Church!

The three border locations drew the same first room, but the second room was different.

An Su exhaled softly, pushed open the door, and stepped forward—the scenery around him instantly began to change. The grim, stern old castle outside the window gradually disappeared, the moonlight also left behind, replaced by the end of his sight where dark green coniferous forests intertwined, the sunlight tinting every wind-blown sharp leaf in crimson hues, the heavy fruits formed on the trees also swayed with the wind, occasionally falling to the ground.

An Su blinked his eyes, carefully observing the surroundings.

The lush forest seemed just an illusion. When An Su looked closely, he saw that the fruits in the forest were covered with black fluff, plump and dripping with bright red juice—those were actually human heads; the leaves hanging from the trunk, rustling with the wind, were merely dried limbs and body parts.

A thin dark green mist enveloped the forest, seemingly flowing.

An Su could see, hidden in the forest, plague-ridden hounds gnawing on blood, dark green pus oozing from pustules on their bodies, splashing dark smoke.

Those corpses were their food stored on tree trunks.

He looked down, checking his current attire, a black robe tightly wrapped around his body, no skin exposed, An Su subconsciously touched his cheek, only feeling the cold and hard touch. It was a mask with pointed ends protruding outward, much like the beak of a crow.

"Meow?" Luo Xiaohei, who was lying on An Su's shoulder, also hurriedly touched his own mouth, which now featured a small bird mask.

An Su recognized the gear, akin to a shroud of black robe combined with a crow-beaked mask. This style was active after the Third Era, later known as "Plague Doctor," and considered a precursor to the "Druid Scholar," but in this age, humans viewed it ominously, regarded as a harbinger of plague and widely known due to its bird-beak mask.

He frowned slightly. Since this style of equipment had appeared, the era of this room and this event was now clear,

after the Third Era, the period right after the first night of the Red Moon, when the Church's Holy Knights crusaded eastward, marking the early stages of the battle between the Kingdom of Chaos and the Human Empire.

An Su continued scanning the room,

Unlike the dining room on the night of the Vampire Castle, this appeared to be a study.

Dense ivy clung to the blinds, blocking most of the scorching sunlight and casting layer upon layer of dark green shadows inside the room, where dust particles floated in the air, reflecting the shape of light particles.

Surrounding him were stacks of bookshelves, totaling over ten thousand books, all concerning the Druid's Book of the Forest, the strong scent of ink assaulting the senses. In the very center of the bookshelves was a setup for concocting magic potions, complete with crucibles and sets of bottles, alongside which were piled various high-tier materials, such as the slime of Demon Horn Fish and petals of Forest Flower Lotus.

[Saint An Su Moningsta, exam number sixteen, identity confirmed.]

At the same time, a prompt from the Artificial Star chimed by An Su's ear,

[Artificial Nether World: Plague Hounds Attack]

[Rank: Fourth Tier]

[World Background: As Alchemists rose to power, the Blood Clan gradually faced decline. The Human Empire, located at the Chaotic Frontier, began to rise, posing a significant threat to the rule of the Kingdom of Chaos. The night of the Red Moon was the catalyst, sparking the first war between the saints and the Esoteric Sects. One of the Seven Great Esoteric Sects, the 'Plague and Filth' Sect, participated in the war.]

[Capitalizing on the blessings from the Goddess of Plague, they created a Chaos Virus effective against saints, spreading strange illnesses through Second Tier Demon Seed Plague Hounds as their envoys. This plague corrupted the holy circuits of the saints, eroding their body structures and impairing their senses, resulting in complete loss of senses within half an hour and death within a month]

[Under the onslaught of the Chaos Virus, the mortality rate of the Human Empire soared, far exceeding that of the Kingdom of Chaos. This ongoing attrition caused the Human Empire to continuously retreat, a period also referred to as the 'Plague Era.'... However, human doctors still did not give up; they continued trying to concoct a magic potion that could neutralize the plague.]

[Task Description: You are a Druid Scholar and a Chaotic Doctor. You have been infected by the Chaos Virus, and the only thing you can do is to concoct a potion—the Forest Vaccine—that can neutralize the plague before you lose your senses.]

[Time remaining until disease onset: thirty minutes]

[Room Task One: All your healing magic has been disabled, please concoct a vaccine that can counteract the virus within thirty minutes, Score: four points]

[Room Task Two: Under the spread of Plague Hounds, the annual mortality rate of the Human Empire far exceeds that of the Kingdom of Chaos, please try to solve this problem using Druid means, Score: six points]

[Task Remarks: All materials and tools you might need are already placed on the concoction station, and magic potion books that you might need to consult are also placed on the bookshelves, for your free use and reference]

[If the examinee dies or loses senses, the examination will end immediately, and entry to the next room will be denied]

[The age of plague, a time of death or rebirth]

An Su smiled calmly, having just embezzled construction materials and now moving on to embezzle medical funds.

This time was different from the previous alchemy room. An Su in his previous life had studied medicine, matching his specialty perfectly!
