The Villain Saint is my secondary account

“This is the first time I’ve heard this name…” Lilia paced back and forth. “Mr. Hyde, I have a feeling that your family is definitely more than just someone who ‘believes’ in the God of Life.”

"Using the true name of a god in contract magic is a privilege that only families that serve the gods can possess."

That makes sense! Ye Xiao's thoughts were also enlightened by Lilia's words.

The Tomb of the Miracle Sorcerer... That's not the Tomb of the Miracle Sorcerer at all.

That is the tomb where a part of the body of the God of Life is buried. Therefore, miracle mages should be guarding that tomb. This may be why there is a lineage of miracle mages there.

But Eileen seems to have mentioned that her family also guards that tomb?

Two families working together to protect?

Something still seems off.

"If that's the case, then Eileen's ancestors were also guardians of that tomb," Ye Xiao continued, "Why is it that while they all served the God of Life, Eileen's family didn't decline, but instead became counts in the Loren Empire?"

“Families that serve gods are not so simple.” Lilia shook her head. “The closer the family is, the greater the reckoning and suppression they will suffer after the fall of the god they rely on. Mr. Ye, the family of Eileen that you mentioned may be the opposite. They may be a subordinate family or a lower-level family that once served the god of life. They did not really come close to the legacy of the fallen god, which is why they were not destroyed.”

That makes some sense. Ye Xiao nodded in agreement.

"I have another question..."

“Mr. Ye, please speak.” Lilia said politely.

"Will the god of life...have children?"

“Huh?” Lilia was stunned. “If you’re talking about whether gods have offspring, there are records of that, but each offspring in mythology seems to have a special mission and reason. As for whether the god of life has offspring… I really don’t know.”

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Ye Xiao also understood that this question was a bit difficult to answer, since no one else knew about Lydia Haye except him.

Ella, who had been listening quietly, smiled and nodded. "The first meeting was unexpectedly long. By now, you should all have a basic understanding of the situation."

She was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lilia to be such a treasure, knowing so much. She would ask Ye Xiao for advice more often in the future.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lilia and Hyde both bowed respectfully to Ella.

Ye Xiao, standing to the side, quickly followed suit, as he, as a devout believer, still needed to act professionally.

"My God, when will we have our next exchange like this?" Lilia asked softly from behind, then rubbed her hands together with some anticipation. "Although I'm even more looking forward to a real-life exchange with you... hehe."

"Ahem." Ella tapped Lilia on the head. "Let's tentatively set it for the same time next week. If anyone is unable to attend, you can link your soul here through prayer and leave your message here."

With that, Ella waved her hand gently, and a tentacle that grew from the ground picked up a stone slab and placed it in the center of the group.

“Huh… tentacles…” Lilia seemed to suddenly understand something and looked at Ella in shock.

Ella simply smiled, and then the dreamlike scene began to stir.

Like colorful bubbles, they gradually disintegrated into the darkness.

……

Lilia opened her eyes from her sleep, and perhaps because she had been merging with the spiritual power from the gods for so long, she felt somewhat refreshed.

The sun shines high in the blue sky outside the window, and the occasional clear chirping of birds can be heard.

The bedroom has been restored to its original state from the dents and craters it had been smashed that night, which is not a big deal in a world with magic.

"The weather is nice."

Lilia said softly, and then took out a delicate little box from the table in front of her.

She slowly opened the box, revealing a fair and delicate hand.

The palms looked delicate with slender fingers, the nails were covered with a thin layer of pink, the edges were neatly cut, and the skin was smooth and fair.

But then they saw the black-haired, purple-eyed girl gently stroking the palm inside the box, as if she were caressing and admiring a flawless work of art.

A slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

"Aren't you right, my divine being?"

……

The High Priest's Office in the Church of Loren.

High Priest Evans looked at what Freya had handed him and quietly put down the quill pen in his hand.

It was a fragment with a metallic texture, and it was covered with a strange aura.

“This is a fragment I found in a corner of the Second Princess’s bedroom, High Priestess,” Freya said gently. “It should be a blade from an assassin whose body was corrupted by the power of an evil god.”

"Hmm." The high priest nodded noncommittally.

"However, what the Second Princess told me during the interrogation that night was that after she and the Holy Maiden escaped to the first-floor hall, it was her butler, Winster, who dealt with all the attackers."

“But the fact that this fragment was found in the second-floor bedroom means that a fight took place there. If this was done by the butler, Winster, I can’t think of any reason why Her Highness the Second Princess would want to hide it.”

"I also examined all the bodies of the assassins who died that night, and none of the blades on any of the bodies could be pieced together with this fragment."

"High Priest, I suspect they have hidden the body of an assassin."

The high priest looked at the shards gleaming coldly in his palm and nodded. "Freya, you've always been very clever."

“The reason for hiding must be to conceal certain information,” Freya continued, her long, pale golden curls swaying slightly as they hung from her chest. “It’s impossible for the Second Princess to be in a physical condition to fight an assassin. I can only assume that the Holy Maiden fought the assassin in her bedroom at the time.”

"This shows that Her Highness the Second Princess intentionally concealed the way the Holy Maiden killed the assassin."

“I tested the hardness of this fragment. With the Holy Light magic of the Holy Maiden and the level of magic she registered as an apprentice at the Noble Academy, it is impossible for it to be strong enough to shatter the blades on the arms of those assassins.”

"High Priest, the Holy Maiden is concealing certain special abilities. These must have appeared after some séance. She has serious problems, and I request that she be investigated again."

"Perhaps it's a family tradition of the Heville family, but that can't be used as evidence to launch an investigation." The High Priest shook his head. "If the Holy Temple openly launches an investigation into the Holy Maiden chosen by the God of Light, what will the Holy City of Morningstar Ridge, the other Holy Temples, and the people who believe in our Lord think?"

Freya fell silent. After a moment, she said softly, "Then... I'll investigate myself."

"Freya, I have always regarded you as my daughter." The High Priest sighed. "You are intelligent, kind, have a firm faith in my Lord, and possess a strong enough heart and an extraordinary talent for being close to the Holy Light."

"If you don't delve into this matter, you won't become a saintess. You will still be a pillar of the Holy Temple in the future and be able to become a member who leads the Holy Temple."

“High Priest, I’m not acting out of spite for the position of Saintess,” Freya said earnestly. “I want to know the truth.”

“The truth is often not that important.” The high priest gently raised his arm and handed the fragment back. “Freya, a person who only has advantages and no disadvantages will not be accepted by the public.”

Freya took the fragment and remained silent.

“Alas…” The high priest looked somewhat old. “Go, but you cannot do so in the name of the temple or with any of its people.”

"Thank you, High Priest." Freya bowed slightly.

He then silently turned and walked out of the room.

Volume Two: The Beginning of Chaos

Chapter 1 Version Update

[World Tree system update complete]

The new features "Community System," "Arena," and "Guild System" are now available.

The "Quest System" will now provide a quest difficulty assessment based on the player's skill level.

The "Character System" now includes features for setting nicknames/IDs and avatars.

[Dear players, welcome to version 1.1, "The Beginning of Chaos"]

Have a pleasant journey!

……

Ye Xiao was probably the first person to spend Universal Points just to change his nickname to his own name.

This feature was originally intended for players to hide their real names in the community, although there are also experts who surf the internet using their default real names.

Ye Xiao was originally a frugal person who was too lazy to change his name, but he couldn't help it now; he couldn't just add other people as friends under the name "Ira Hayville".

The nickname "Ye Xiao" is already taken.

The nickname "Ye Xiao 123" is already taken.

I can't stand it any longer.

[Nickname "Midnight Snack" has been successfully set]

Damn... I made a mistake.

Ye Xiao has been using this brain-controlled input method of the broken system for over twenty years, but he still can't figure it out.

After all, he doesn't have the habit of actually thinking about how to spell each word that pops into his mind when he's thinking.

[You must wait one month after changing your nickname before you can change it again.]

Fine.

Ye Xiao finished eating the flattened bread and looked out the glass window of the Adventurer's Guild Hall.

The wide, straight street outside leads to the main gate of the church's inner wall. It was early morning, and the sun was just rising, so the street was already bustling with people.

Besides the indigenous people, there were also players dressed in unusual outfits.

One week after the Great Time Travel, the World Tree system was updated, and a large number of players flocked to the city settlements.

Meanwhile, in just three days it will be the annual "Pilgrimage Festival," and people who believe in the God of Light are flocking to the capital from all over the country to participate in this grand ceremony.

However, the number of visitors this time is said to be much higher than usual, with some even coming from neighboring countries.

The reason for this is that the "Ceremony of Light" at the Church of Loren will be presided over by the Holy Maiden of Light, who is celebrated by countless people and personally crowned by the Supreme Angel.

After all, most people have only heard of him, and now that they finally have the opportunity to see this legendary chosen one in person, they naturally have to seize the opportunity.

For fervent believers, a saint chosen by God is a symbol of faith.

This also means that the streets, which are not usually crowded, start to get congested early in the morning.

"Brother Ye...!?"

A familiar voice approached, and Ye Xiao turned his head to see his old friend Li Cheng clattering towards him in his heavy pumpkin knight armor.

"Hey Li Cheng, I never expected to run into you here." Ye Xiao smiled.

This was certainly no coincidence; Ye Xiao had deliberately started waiting at the moment the lobby opened this morning.

Based on his understanding of Li Cheng, this guy would always get up early to grab high-yield missions and then prepare all sorts of props and materials; he was the kind of person who worried himself sick for the team.

"Holy crap, it really is you... Dude, long time no see." Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then walked up and gave him a bear hug.

"Hey, it's only been a week..." Ye Xiao hurriedly pushed away the shocking heavy armor; he had absolutely no interest in a man's embrace.

"Ha, it feels like a year has passed." Li Cheng's expression was somewhat excited.

This is inevitable, after all, it is rare to happen to meet an old friend you know in this strange and vast world.

Ye Xiao patted Li Cheng on the shoulder, "You seem to be doing pretty well."

"Sigh, aren't we all just struggling to survive in this godforsaken world?" Li Cheng raised his hand and ordered a honey beer, then leaned the greatsword he was carrying against the edge of the table.

"Aren't you going to get a mission first?"

"It's not easy to see an old friend, so we definitely have to chat first. We can do the mission anytime," Li Cheng laughed. "It's also good to take a couple of days off occasionally... Hey, that stupid system just happened to have a community function now, can't we add each other as friends!"

Ye Xiao changed his nickname earlier for this very reason. After the World Tree system updated its community features, it now allows players within five meters of each other to send friend requests if they know the nickname ID. With this system, players are no longer scattered and doing their own tasks. When in the same city, they can send messages directly to friends through the system, while when in different cities, they can use credit points to send messages.

However, messages cannot be sent or received instantly when outside the city area; messages can only be received when returning to the city. Also, it is currently not possible to add native residents as friends.

"My nickname ID is 'Night Snack', uh, 'night' as in night and 'all night' as in 'staying up all night'."

"Hahaha, you changed your ID, are you trying to make fun of yourself?"

"I made a typo when I was making the corrections..." Ye Xiao took a sip of grapefruit juice to cover up her embarrassment.

"The Saintess's Dog 2" has requested to add you as a friend.

"puff"

Ye Xiao spat out a mouthful of grapefruit juice, almost unable to catch her breath.

"Wow, what are you doing, Brother Ye?" Li Cheng wiped his face.

“No, your ID…” Ye Xiao’s lips twitched, “isn’t it a bit too abstract?”

"A nickname is something you just pick out randomly," Li Cheng said, scratching the back of his head with a hearty laugh, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

Why is there a 2 at the end of your name?
