The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"I'm not some ignorant fool like you, Raven!!" Raven angrily flew onto the bed and slapped Chen Yao's head with its wing. "My name is Eunice, or at the very least, you should call me Dark Owl!!"

"It can talk?" The archer girl asked incredulously. "But I only heard it making a cawing sound."

"That's because your perception is too low! Fools always like to blame others for their own problems!" Eunice roared. "Fortunately, one of you isn't so stupid. I was just thinking about how to get you two to see Him, but now it seems I don't have to be howling like a hunting dog chasing you around!"

"To see Him...who do we want to see?" Chen Yao asked, somewhat confused by Eunice's words.

"Of course it's the god of life, you idiot!"

Chapter 131 Pilgrimage

In just eight sentences, Chen Yao was cursed by the crow six times, so much so that even as he dazedly watched the crow fly out of the house, the words "You idiot" were still echoing in his mind.

"The God of Life?" Chen Yao uttered each word carefully, his confusion growing even stronger.

He seemed to have never heard of this name before.

Although it didn't sound like some kind of evil deity, in this world, and after that night in Greygold Town, he felt that nothing he encountered was surprising.

"What is this?" Xiao Lian, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask when she heard Chen Yao muttering to himself, "Did this crow tell you this?"

"I've told you so many times, my name is Eunice, you idiot!" The crow cawed and swatted at Xiaolian's face. "If you call me Crow again, I'll peck your eyes out! They don't look very useful anyway!"

“She said her name is Eunice, and that we should stop calling her Raven,” Chen Yao translated for Xiao Lian as he listened to Raven’s cawing. “As for the God of Life, she said she is a great deity who has been protecting us these past few days.”

"guard?"

“I’m not quite sure,” Chen Yao scratched his head, looking at the white fog that filled the room. “Actually… I don’t remember much about what happened in town that night. I feel like I was unconscious for a while, and I don’t know how much time has passed since that day.”

“I don’t really understand either.” The archer girl tightened the cloak draped over her shoulders. “That night I thought you were going to die, but then you suddenly fought your way out of that horde of corpses.”

"Then you carried me all the way to this area covered by white fog on the edge of the town. You fainted after entering the fog, and fearing that you would be caught by the horde of corpses coming from outside the fog, I had no choice but to carry you and keep walking."

"I was lost in the white fog, and I didn't know how long I had been walking, until this bird... this Miss Eunice appeared and led me through the fog to this little house."

“You’ve been unconscious… I can’t understand Eunice’s words, and I don’t dare to stray too far from this little house. I can only keep using the system to exchange for food and water for the two of us… I can’t contact the guild outside the city, and my universal points are running out, with no way to get them through quests… I was so scared, Brother Chen, thank goodness you finally woke up… Otherwise, if things continued like this, I don’t know what I would do…”

The girl with the bow and arrow kept rambling on, and as she spoke, her voice began to tremble.

She was originally a strong person, but after experiencing those dangerous situations, she had to take care of a comatose wounded person alone in this strange environment.

As time went by, the lack of light and shadow in the world, coupled with her ever-increasing loneliness, almost drove her mad.

Seeing this, Chen Yao remained silent, then gently patted the girl's shoulder.

Although he was the captain, he was not a qualified captain.

Because of his reckless judgment, the team was almost wiped out, and now only two people are still alive.

After becoming Aslan's royal guard, his growing arrogance led him to underestimate the ever-present dangers of the world, which ultimately cost him dearly.

If he could, he truly wished he could take the place of the teammates who died because of his misjudgment.

Damn it, if he hadn't suggested coming to this town... they might not be dead...

As Chen Yao listened to the girl's intermittent sobs, the pain in his heart intensified.

But now is not the time for him to blame himself.

He has another teammate here who needs his help.

Whether it's atonement or a sense of responsibility, as the team leader, he was determined to get this last team member out of this hellish place.

"Could you take us to pay homage to the god you speak of?" Chen Yao asked in a low voice to Eunice, who was sitting at the foot of the bed.

“Fools, didn’t I just say I was going to take you to see Him!” Eunice flapped her wings and flew out the door.

Seeing this, Chen Yao also stood up, but perhaps because he had been lying down for too long, he found that his steps were a little unsteady and he almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Lian quickly helped Chen Yao up, but after standing up straight, Chen Yao stubbornly pulled away from Xiao Lian's hand, saying, "It's okay, Xiao Lian, you don't need to help me, I can walk by myself."

"But Brother Chen..."

"It's okay," Chen Yao said through gritted teeth. "I can manage on my own."

Seeing that the captain insisted, Xiaolian decided not to go and help him up anymore.

The two followed Eunice out of the cabin and slowly made their way through the misty forest.

“Eunice, you just said… this… this god of life has protected us until now.” Chen Yao asked as he followed Eunice, “Does that mean this fog was created by Him?”

“Of course,” Eunice replied in a shrill voice.

"Then, will He... will He let us leave?"

"You'll have to ask Him, I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao fell silent and continued walking quietly.

The physical weakness made the journey exceptionally difficult for him, and fine beads of sweat even began to appear on his forehead.

The journey seemed long, and after walking for a long time through the misty mountains, Eunice suddenly stopped and told the two to stop.

Have we arrived yet?

Chen Yao leaned against a tree trunk, but all he could see was endless forest, just like the scenery on the road before. He didn't see any God of Life at all.

“Nonsense, otherwise why would I stop, you idiot.” Eunice snorted. “Ahead lies His divine realm. Although I wouldn’t mind if you really wanted to see Him, He can’t move, so you’ll have to climb several mountains all the way to the bottom of Lyra Peak to see Him.”

“I don’t care if you want to do it, but He thinks it’s unnecessary for you to go through all this trouble, because He just wants to take a look at you.”

"Look at us...?" Chen Yao asked, slightly surprised. "Why?"

“Don’t overthink it, you idiot,” Eunice scoffed. “You’re just two ordinary mortals, nothing special about you that makes Him want to see you.”

"What He wants to see is only the aura of His daughter attached to you."

"daughter……?"

Chen Yao was completely confused, but then he noticed that Eunice's voice suddenly trembled.

“He…He is coming.”

He's here...? Didn't we just say He couldn't move? How come he's suddenly here again?

Chen Yao stared blankly into the empty forest, but apart from the pale mist, he couldn't see anything at all.

That was how it was in his field of vision, but for a moment, Chen Yao seemed to suddenly sense something.

It was like a gentle breeze that swept by silently, or an invisible hand that stroked the top of his head.

This feeling lasted only for a moment. If Chen Yao hadn't been so focused and vigilant, he might have thought it was just an illusion.

Chapter 132 The Last Wish of God

After that fleeting, subtle sensation passed, and a few seconds later, Eunice spoke again.

"Okay, you can go."

"Huh?" Chen Yao was stunned. That was it?

He thought he was going to see something earth-shattering, and was even prepared to run away with the archer girl at any time.

As a result, it was just blown away by the wind and disappeared.

"Otherwise what? Didn't I already say He just wanted to see his daughter's aura again? You idiot!" As the wind dissipated, Eunice returned to her previous irritability and nagging. "By the way, where did you get this aura from? I'm going to take it to Him to see..."

Eunice was speaking when a gentle breeze suddenly blew by, causing her entire bird body to tremble. "Ah! Master! I was only thinking of your... Ah, well, well, I won't ask anymore..."

"What...did they say this time?" Chen Yao asked, puzzled.

“That’s my business… I was thinking that since He so wanted to see the aura of His daughter, I could just go directly to the main body and bring it to Him.”

"Uh, so does that mean we're going to find this... god's daughter next?"

“No, you idiot!” Eunice sighed. “Alas, He said He shouldn’t even exist in this world anymore, and that being able to see his daughter’s shadow was already a luxury.”

"After being awakened, He has held on until now only for this moment. After that, He will continue to sleep."

“Sleeping…then…will we leave this fog?” Chen Yao asked worriedly.

Although the fog blocked their way down the mountain, it was undoubtedly also the fog that protected them from being surrounded by the strange corpses in Graygold Town.

If the fog dissipates, they may once again face the perilous situation of having to fight those monsters.

“Of course I’ll leave. Do you think you can stay here forever?” Eunice said disdainfully. “That’s why I hate you mortals who always think that the protection of the gods is a given.”

“Although I have been called to be His apostle and do not know Him well, I still think about what I can do to help Him, while you only think about yourselves.”

Chen Yao felt wronged by the rebuke. He was unfamiliar with this deity and didn't even know whether the deity was helping them or harming them. How could he possibly express his gratitude?

Moreover, didn't this deity say that he was going to sleep? If he's going to sleep, what help can he possibly offer?

"Then... is there anything I can do to help Him?" Even though he said that, Chen Yao still had to ask.

Although he didn't expect to be able to help these gods in any way...

“Of course,” Eunice hummed. “As payment for protecting you all this time, you have to help Him deal with the thief who stole His things.”

"Thief?"

What is this thing? Chen Yao was dumbfounded.

As they were talking, another gust of wind blew by.

“Oh, my master, there’s really no need to do this to these people… Alright, alright, I’ll tell you the truth.” Eunice’s tone seemed somewhat helpless. “Fine, you two idiots, dealing with that thief was His request, not something He forced you two to do.”

“If you really don’t want to, He can send you away from this fog first; He will find a way himself.”

"Um, at least allow me to figure out what you're talking about first," Chen Yao said, scratching his head. "Otherwise, I won't know how to decide."

"You idiot, you're really getting cocky when you say you're begging!" Eunice seemed a little angry. "Do you even know what gratitude is, you fool? And you... oh well, my master, I'll explain it to them right away. Sigh, why bother?"

Chen Yao shrugged as he looked at the crow whose voice had become limp after being blown by the wind.

“Grey Gold Town.” Eunice then stared at Chen Yao with her dark eyes. “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about this place.”

"Of course I won't forget that." Chen Yao unconsciously clenched his fist.

“Then I’ll make it short.” Eunice cleared her throat. “Simply put, the damned thief who stole His things is hiding in this town.”

"But it's not hidden in a small town in the real world. The thief used His power to create a hidden divine kingdom, which is the place where you were led to, where the Tree of Life grows everywhere."

"The Tree of Life... could it be referring to those trees where dead people hang?" Chen Yao swallowed hard.

“It does refer to that, but that’s because thieves can only produce such disgusting, flawed imitations. The real Tree of Life is far more magnificent than that, you idiot!” Eunice cursed. “Damn it, calling those things the Tree of Life feels like an insult to Him. From now on, I’ll call those things the Fake Tree.”

Chen Yao felt that the name "pseudo-tree" was a bit awkward, but after thinking about it, he decided it was best not to raise any objections.

"The thief used the stolen power to build that false divine realm of life. Fortunately, when the thief was stealing, His remnant soul was also unintentionally awakened because He sensed the aura of His offspring. In an emergency, He opened a true divine realm within the false divine realm to restrain the other party and prevent Him from completely stealing the part of His soul that was buried here."

"That is, the place where you are right now, do you understand?"

"So...so our next step is to defeat that thief?"

Chen Yao's throat bobbed slightly; if that were the case, he wasn't really keen on accepting the request.

Any evil spirit capable of stealing the power of the gods, whatever it may be, is beyond his ability to deal with.

Not to mention... this deity seems a bit unusual.

According to Eunice, what was buried here was only a part of Him, yet it could be stolen to create something like a false divine realm, something he had never heard of before. Even the fragmented soul that had been dead for countless years could be awakened and fight against the well-prepared thieves.

An unknown god buried, a thief stealing divine power, the authority to control life, and the construction of a false divine realm...

Chen Yao dared not even imagine what level of confrontation this was, and he truly did not want to get involved; he only wanted to safely send his teammate, Xiao Lian, back to the capital.

“How could I let you do this directly? It’s no different from sending you to your deaths, you idiots,” Eunice retorted, then handed a twig-like object to Chen Yao. “You only have two things to do. The first is to find His daughter and give this to her.”

"this is?"

“The Sprout of Life, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Just take it to His daughter,” Eunice replied. “The second thing is to wait here. My master is about to fall asleep. When He falls asleep and gathers the divine realm, the thief’s power will reach its peak, but he will also lower his guard and go to the imperial city.”

"You have to come with me at that time and sneak into Greygold Town to blow up that fake divine realm!"

Chapter 133 The Indefinite Promise

"These two tasks seem a bit contradictory; one requires leaving, and the other requires staying?"

Chen Yao was somewhat puzzled after hearing this.

“Nonsense, otherwise why would I ask you guys, who don’t seem very reliable, to do it all myself?” Eunice jumped off Chen Yao’s arm and flew back to a nearby branch. “Because of the current special circumstances, leaving and coming back would mean passing through that extremely dangerous false divine realm, so the risk of leaving and coming back is too great.”
