Therefore, players who participated in the open beta or logged into "Otherworld" afterward will be sent to that fantasy world of swords and magic.
But why exactly does this game cause time travel? And what exactly is the Kaiser Company?
Having been reborn, Ye Xiao finally began to have doubts about everything that had happened in the beginning. So many years had passed, and he had struggled to survive in another world, yet he seemed to have never considered these questions before.
But with little time left before the time travel event, Ye Xiao couldn't afford to dwell on such trivial matters.
He patted Li Cheng on the shoulder, "Remember, after we transmigrate, if I find out you're acting like a simp again, giving the initial weapon the system gave you to your pathetic 'goddess,' I'll beat you up!"
After saying that, Ye Xiao ran off in a flash, leaving Li Cheng completely bewildered.
Most of Ye Xiao's friends participated in the open beta, and it was too late to tell them not to participate in the game now. He could only rush home and quickly organize the information he knew that might be useful into an early-game strategy on his computer, and then send it to the group.
Most of his friends, or rather, the people he knew, did not stay with him until the end in his previous life. He himself only managed to survive and became an unknown Grandmaster Swordsman, a captain in the rebel army.
Of course, for some people, leaving early in that hellish life later on might not be a bad thing.
But now that I've been reborn, I'll help as many people as I can in advance.
In particular, knowing that another terrifying being had been reborn along with him, Ye Xiao felt obligated to warn others.
"Especially remember, if you encounter a silver-haired, red-eyed woman named Ella Havil, stay as far away as possible. This bird-woman is a world-class evil god boss, so be extremely careful."
After writing the last paragraph and pressing send, Ye Xiao leaned back in his computer chair and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His friends were naturally puzzled by many of the things he had sent, but he didn't have time to explain clearly; he could only hope that others would remember what they had.
At 8 p.m., the moment the minutes on the clock jumped to 12, Ye Xiao suddenly felt everything go black.
The time travel happened as promised.
For a moment, he wished that the time travel in his memory was just an incredibly long dream, an endless fantasy of a boy standing at the gate of middle school during his leisure time after the exam.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A cold, impersonal system panel popped up in the darkness, announcing yet another journey to another world.
Welcome to this other world! Please select your starting class.
Warrior, Mage, Priest, Archer, Spearman, Piercer, Shield – it's still those seven basic classes. Ye Xiao was wondering if the system would give him some hidden classes if he restarted the game, but it seems it's still the same old thing.
"Warrior... no, mage."
The initial career choice does not determine your future development path; it simply provides a corresponding basic skill template at the start.
Ye Xiao can manually execute all the mainstream skills of the Swordsman Master without the system's assistance, so there is no need to choose the same initial class as before.
[Successfully choosing a career grants you one initial universal lottery draw chance]
Congratulations! You have acquired the skill "One Breath Transforms into Three".
How come I still get this skill... Ye Xiao was speechless. Changing his class didn't change his luck.
This somewhat useless clone technique can only split into three, and it also divides his own health and mental energy into three equal parts. It's useful in the early stages, but later on he mainly uses it to escape.
[Initial character creation complete, about to be teleported]
Welcome to this other world! Have a pleasant journey!
Well, I've been reborn. In most novels, only the protagonist gets this kind of treatment!
Ye Xiao could only console herself with this thought.
In the darkness, a ray of light slowly appeared.
Having transmigrated many times, he had begun to get used to the feeling and quickly regained control of his body.
He vividly remembered that when he first arrived in this world, he was randomly thrown into a desolate wilderness by the system, without any companions, and was chased for two miles by a monster dog.
Oh dear, now that I think about it, I need to get going. Ye Xiao quickly got up. If he remembered correctly, the monster dog would be here soon.
But when Ye Xiao swayed as he got up, he suddenly realized that the surroundings did not seem to be the forest he remembered, nor was it the bright sunlight of the daytime. Instead, the light was unusually dim.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that he was in a dark room with several circles of red candles around him.
The candlelight flickered faintly in the stillness, and one could vaguely see some strange symbols drawn on the floor, resembling tadpoles.
What the hell is this place?
Everything before him was quite different from Ye Xiao's memories; how could his birthplace have become so bizarre?
Although it was strange, thankfully there was no nasty monster dog. Ye Xiao realized that he hadn't liked dogs much since coming to this world.
He got up and looked around, finding the room unusually large. As far as the eye could see, in the darkness where the candlelight couldn't reach, there seemed to be some hunched figures.
Ye Xiao swallowed hard. He wasn't sure if speaking up in this environment was a good choice, so he simply took a small step and slowly approached a figure at the edge of the candlelight.
It was indeed a person dressed in tattered clothes, kneeling on the ground, but for some reason, his face was turned towards the ground, and he remained motionless in this kneeling posture.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, slowly bent down, and placed her hand on the person's shoulder.
A bone-chilling cold sensation came from between his fingers, and Ye Xiao had a general idea of what he was about to see.
He decisively pulled up the man's upper body, revealing a distorted, mummified face.
"Ugh." Ye Xiao only frowned slightly, feeling a little nauseous.
In his previous life, he had fought his way through battlefields filled with all sorts of demons and monsters, so to be honest, these grotesque corpses didn't stir much emotion in him.
But it was his own high-pitched voice that made him pause for a moment.
"Eh, eh, hello?... "
He uttered a few more sounds to make sure he hadn't misheard.
What's wrong with my voice? Have my vocal cords degenerated?
Ye Xiao touched his neck in surprise; it was smooth and even. Then, he looked at his hands by the candlelight.
Her nails were fair and delicate, with a thin layer of pink paint on them.
…System, open the character panel.
Ye Xiao's heart trembled slightly.
Blue light flashed, and a piece of text and a portrait suddenly appeared in mid-air.
It was a young girl's delicate and lovely face, with a head of smooth silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a pair of deep red eyes half-closed beneath a few strands of hair, seemingly capable of captivating the soul.
Player Name: Ella Haywell (Lydia Haye)
Chapter Three: The Ceremony
System, are you kidding me?! ? ?
Ye Xiaotong's pupils trembled, and a long memory flooded into her brain like a stream.
Ella Hayville, daughter of Duke Jefferson Hayville of the Norn Empire, is known for her twisted and wicked personality. After her childhood betrothal to the second prince of the Norn Empire is discovered, she breaks off the engagement. In her rage, she colludes with the cult "The Dark Shepherds" and performs a secret ritual in a dungeon on the outskirts of the imperial city using the blood of hundreds of prisoners, attempting to summon an evil god to take revenge on the prince.
After a flash of images, Ye Xiao finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Ella Hayville had gone mad and summoned an evil god, who then sacrificed her own soul.
That's why the saintess in the previous life was so monstrous—because an evil god descended and took over Ella's original body.
However, Ella's involvement with cults makes her no saint either.
But then the problem arises, given my current situation...
Lydia Haye—Ye Xiao had never seen a player name with parentheses after it before. Recalling the last words the Holy Maiden uttered in her previous life, if nothing unexpected happened, this was the true name of this incarnate evil god. But now, it was listed under my player name…
Does that mean... I've become that evil god?
Ye Xiao was immediately overwhelmed with confusion. Had he become the final boss of the world?
Wouldn't I be the one getting ganged up on by that group of Saint-level beings in the future?!
"boom"
In the midst of my confused thoughts, the door was suddenly flung open, and a boy in a tuxedo strode in.
"Young Miss, someone has leaked information! The Holy Tribunal is on its way! We must leave immediately!"
The open door let brighter light into the room, and looking around, one could see hundreds of mummified corpses lying densely packed together.
But the newcomer ignored the bizarre scene, casually stepping over the corpse and walking worriedly to Ye Xiao.
"Young Miss... are you feeling unwell? We need to leave immediately!"
"Huh? Uh, were you calling me?"
Ye Xiaocai realized that the handsome young butler in front of him was actually talking to him.
Just then, a deafening roar erupted, and a huge hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling of the room.
Knights in golden armor descended from the sky, their dazzling holy light, seemingly capable of eradicating all evil, instantly filling the entire house.
"Sanctuary Inquisition Team! You cultists inside are surrounded!"
The leading knight swung his longsword, his extraordinary power cleaving the blood array on the ground in two.
"Surrender now, or be killed without mercy!!!"
"Damn it, we're here so fast." Ye Xiao heard the butler boy curse in a low voice, and then he saw the boy suddenly step forward and say, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss."
The boy's strong hand gripped Ye Xiao's arm like a vise, and Ye Xiao felt her body being twisted behind her back. Then, a delicate and sharp dagger was placed against her neck.
"Don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll kill her!! She's the Duke's daughter!!"
Ye Xiao instinctively wanted to retaliate. He was joking, even without growth attributes and skills, how could his years of sword mastery be held hostage by such a young brat?
But his racing mind quickly calmed him down. Although he was being held hostage, the other party didn't exert any force after making the move, and even kept the dagger a safe distance from his skin, as if afraid of hurting him.
Is this guy... putting on an act to protect me?
Although the light was dim and Ye Xiao couldn't see the boy's face clearly, based on the memories he had absorbed, Ella did indeed have a loyal butler, Dean.
Ye Xiao knew very well that if Dean didn't do this, they would likely be arrested together as cult members. Therefore, this sudden, staged kidnapping made him appear as an innocent victim being coerced by cult members.
“I advise you to release that girl,” the Templar Knight said coldly. “That way, you might at least be able to leave with a whole corpse.”
"Heh, let's see if you're faster or my knife is faster!" Dean's voice was somewhat manic, completely lacking the gentleness he had shown when speaking to Ye Xiao just now.
Suddenly, a golden magic circle pattern lit up on the ground where Ye Xiao was standing, and chains formed of holy light burst forth, piercing the boy's hand holding the knife with lightning speed.
The blazing holy flame spread along the chains, like a python swallowing Dean's right arm.
"Ah!!!" Dean let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. Several Templar Knights moved swiftly and suppressed him, whose arm had melted, with almost no effort.
“We’ll take you away from here, miss.” A Templar Knight rushed over and helped the frail, silver-haired girl who had been rescued from the villains.
Seeing the boy pinned to the ground by a group of knights, barely alive, Ye Xiao's throat trembled slightly as he was helped away from the dungeon.
……
The next morning arrived.
The Holy Church branch in Valond, the capital of the Royal City of Loren.
Ye Xiao sat in front of the full-length mirror in the dressing room, looking at the beautiful and charming girl in the mirror, took a deep breath, and murmured to herself.
“My name is Ella Haviere… My name is Ella Haviere…”
Today, she will be publicly questioned by the Holy Tribunal. If she accidentally reveals anything wrong there, she will definitely be destroyed by the High Priest in the name of the Holy Light.
The occurrence of a summoning ritual for an evil god in the capital city was no small matter, shaking the Papacy and the palace. Although Dean sacrificed himself at the last moment to clear her name, many people still raised doubts due to Ella's usually unlikable villainous behavior.
Therefore, both morally and logically, the Church must conduct a public interrogation of Ella.
Ella looked at herself in the mirror and gave a slightly forced smile.
“Don’t be nervous, Miss Heville. The Sanctuary is just conducting a routine inquiry and inspection.” Perhaps noticing Ella’s expression, the Sanctuary nun who was combing Ella’s hair behind her smiled. “Before the God of Light, all the truth will be revealed. We will not make things difficult for you or wrong you.”
The problem is, what I fear most is the truth!
Ella was in a real bind. She knew better than anyone that she was the culprit, the evil god himself.
Although those events were not caused by her own will, if the God of Light were to strike her with a divine lightning bolt, then theoretically it would indeed be an act of eliminating harm for the people.
Overcome with excitement, Ella suddenly noticed several black tentacles crawling out of her eye sockets in the mirror, and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
I'm really speechless. Occasionally, this kind of stuff comes out of my body. This evil god constitution is just too damn weird...
"Oh, Miss Havil, did I hurt you?" The nun thought there was something wrong with her hair-combing skills when she saw Ella's movements.
"No...no, it just felt like something floated into my eye."
Ella hurriedly stuffed the tentacle back into her eye with her fingers. Fortunately, this had happened a few times while she was bathing last night, so she was now quite skilled at dealing with it.
After dressing up, surrounded by a group of Templar Knights and nuns, Ella walked down the corridor to the courtroom.
The spacious courtroom was now packed with people, including the princes and nobles of the royal city of Valond and the high-ranking officials of the sanctuary.
