Chapter 178 The End of Darkness, Persephone
"Wentai?"

Unlike the later days when his soul seemed to be dragged into hell and he transformed into a vengeful madman.

Twenty years ago, Ye Chang was just like any other woman, full of maternal love.

She stroked her swollen belly, her eyes full of tenderness, but now she looked at her husband, Wen Tai, with some worry.

Since a year ago, Wen Tai's personality has become somewhat strange.

He even took the initiative to tell her that he wanted a child.

Several months later, she became pregnant. However, in less than six months, her belly grew to be about the size of an eight-month pregnant woman, making her wonder if she was carrying twins or triplets.

"I'm fine, how's the child?"

Wen Tai pressed his face against Ye Chang's swollen belly, trying to hear the sounds of the unborn baby.

Unfortunately, at this age, he can't hear anything yet.

"Don't worry, the Great Sage checked it for me. Although it's a bit big, the child is very healthy. Have you thought of a name yet?"

"Let's call her Ye Xinxia, ​​it's such a nice name."

Three years later, Ye Chang carried Ye Xinxia into the Goddess Palace.

Vientiane has held the position of Holy Son for many years, and her voice has resonated throughout the world, far surpassing the prestige of her predecessors.

Therefore, the Temple of the Goddess was also designated as Wen Tai's private palace.

"Wen Tai, why did you suddenly ask me to bring Xin Xia here? Do you want her to become a little saintess? You're going to become a little saintess, Xin Xia~"

Ye Chang teased Xin Xia's delicate nose, which made Xin Xia burst into a bright, silvery smile, her chubby little legs swaying in the air.

Wen Tai turned around upon hearing the sound, but the warmth in his gaze towards Ye Chang and Xin Xia was gone.

There's one last step. After I bury this piece, it's my turn.
After that day, Ye Xinxia was unable to walk again. Countless temple priests examined her, but none of them could find the cause.

From that day on, an invisible rift appeared between Wen Tai and Ye Chang.

"Holy Son Wentai! Your position as Holy Son is hereby stripped! You are found guilty! You will be judged by the Dark Judgment!"

With his hands and feet tightly bound by chains forged from the Demon-Sealing Stone, Wen Tai stood in the center of the circular trial arena, facing the dozen or so people standing on the high platform who were about to decide his life or death.

He noticed a hint of confusion and sadness in his sister Isa's eyes.

Offer a smile, trying to comfort the other person.

Night fell in the temple dungeon, where Wen Tai, now a prisoner, sat on the cold floor, staring blankly at the ceiling.

At that moment, the torchlight, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, illuminated the dimly lit dungeon.

Why did you do this, brother?

"My dear sister, you've come at the right time. I have one more thing to ask of you."

Wen Tai leaned against the wall and turned his head to look at his younger sister, Yi Zhi Sha, who was making waves.

Since he stepped down from his position as the Holy Son, Izzysa has become the most likely candidate to become the Goddess.

His former followers shifted their enthusiasm to his sister, whose methods and strength were not to be underestimated.

“You seem a little different, as if you’ve reverted to your old self,” Isa said, looking at Wen Tai with some surprise.

She didn't know when it started, but she felt that her familiar brother had suddenly become a stranger.

But this feeling is only temporary, and sometimes it will return to its original state, making people feel particularly safe.

Just like now
"You have to promise me, Yizhisha, that you'll protect Xinxia, ​​and then... don't trust me." "What are you saying...?"

Looking at Wen Tai's serious expression, Yi Zhi Sha couldn't understand what Wen Tai wanted her to do.

He wants her to protect Xinxia, ​​but he also wants her not to believe him. Isn't that contradictory?

"Just remember what I said. Alright, now get out of here. You're only one step away from becoming a goddess."

Isa said nothing more and left with the firelight.

The entire dungeon was plunged into darkness once more, so desolate that not a single ray of light could survive there.

"This is your fate, Ventae. Ever since you came into contact with the darkness, this is your only end."

A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out, echoing through the dungeon, filled with a strange, magical power that seemed capable of captivating anyone with its influence.

“Nothing is predetermined, and I will change it all.”

Wen Tai's calm tone carried an unwavering determination.

"Then let me wait and see. At least for now, everything has happened as I wished. After your soul is transferred and you die, it's time to embrace the darkness again. You should understand that's our only destination."

"Humanity's destiny is infinite, and the future is one of continuous exploration. I believe in this possibility, however small it may be. When the day comes that darkness ends, I will do everything in my power to stop you!"

"I am you, and you are me. How can you stop yourself, Moon Tae?"

A deeper black shadow climbed up the wall, and the outline of the shadow was exactly the same as Wen Tai's, as if it were a substitute for Wen Tai.

"From tomorrow onwards, I will be me, and you will be you."

The Dark Judgment took place as scheduled the following day.

After Wen Tai severely injured the Grim Reaper, he ultimately died, continuing the cruelty of the Dark Judgment, from which even the Holy Son could not escape.

And also after that day.

Two "kings" have appeared in the dark dimension.

A woman named "Ye Chang" disappeared from the world, and in her place came an avenger named "Sa Lang".

"That orb of light does indeed contain records of many forbidden spells collected after the Parthenon was built, such as semi-immortality, forced advancement, and other forbidden spells with extremely outrageous effects. However, the price to complete the spell is also very high, almost requiring the caster's life."

"However, this sphere of light also contains a dark taboo, a trace left by an entity that does not belong to this world, attempting to devour it. And I am the human who was tempted," Wen Tai said slowly.

"That book of darkness records how to transform a human body into darkness. Death is necessary, and with the power of my faith from my time as a Holy Son as a sacrifice, along with the power crystal prepared by 'her,' I died in the Dark Judgment and became the Dark King."

"But at the same time, I also used this opportunity to show my kindness, and I was constantly preparing for the moment when I could turn the tide."

Asha'ruya was so shocked that she was completely speechless; the truth far exceeded her expectations.

"Who left this sphere of light, spying on this world? Is it another Dark Lord?"

For some reason, Azharia also knew that the Dark King was not just Ventay.

"The Dark King is not the end; he is the one who maintains the existence of the Dark Dimension in its deepest part."

"Persephone, the goddess of death and abundance."

　This part is something that was barely mentioned in the original work, so I'll just do a little bit of creative adaptation.

　　Thank you so much, Tomora and Beyond the Stars! Love you both!
