Something still seems to be wrong.

"If that's the case, then the ancestors of Irene's family also guarded that tomb," Ye Xiao continued to ask, "Why is it that even though they all serve the God of Life, Irene's family has not declined, but instead became the Earl of the Loren Empire?"

"It's not that simple for a family to serve a god." Lilia shook her head. "The closer the family is, the greater the liquidation and suppression it will receive after the god it relies on falls. Mr. Ye, the family of Irene you mentioned may be just the opposite. It is a subordinate family of the family that once served the God of Life, or even a lower level. It is not really close to the inheritance of the fallen god, so it has not been destroyed."

This does make sense. Ye Xiao couldn't help but nod.

"I have another question..."

"Mr. Ye, please speak." Lilia was very polite.

"The God of Life...will he have children?"

"Ah?" Lilia was stunned. "If you're asking whether gods have offspring, there are records of this, but every offspring seems to have a special mission and reason for appearing in mythology. As for whether the God of Life has offspring... I really don't know."

"It's okay, I'm just curious." Ye Xiao also understood that this question was a bit difficult to answer. After all, no one except him knew about Lydia Haye.

Ella, who was listening quietly at the side, smiled and nodded. "This first meeting was unexpectedly long. I think everyone should have a preliminary understanding of each other now."

She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lilia was such a big treasure and knew so many things. If she had any questions in the future, she would consult Ye Xiao more often.

After they finished speaking, Lilia and Hyde both bowed respectfully to Ella.

Ye Xiao standing by quickly followed suit. As a great believer, he had to act professionally.

"Lord God, when will the next communication like this be?" Lilia asked softly from behind him, then rubbed her hands expectantly, "Although I'm more looking forward to communicating with Lord God in real life... hehe."

"Ahem." Ella tapped Lilia's head. "Well, let's set it for the same time next week. If you are busy and can't get away, you can link your soul here through prayer and leave your message here."

After saying that, Ella waved her hand gently, and a tentacle growing out of the ground rolled up a stone slab and placed it in the center of the crowd.

"Hey... tentacles..." Lilia seemed to suddenly understand something and looked at Ella in shock.

Ella just smiled, and then this dream-like scene began to be disturbed.

Like colorful bubbles, gradually disintegrating in the darkness.

……

Lilia opened her eyes from her sleep. Perhaps because she had been blending with the spiritual power from the gods for a long time, she felt refreshed.

The sun is high in the blue sky outside the window, and the sound of birds singing can be heard from time to time.

The bedroom had been restored to its original state after being smashed and dented that night. This was not a difficult task in a magical world.

"It's a nice day."

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

She slowly opened the box, revealing a white, delicate hand.

The palm of the hand looks slender with five fingers, a thin layer of pink on the nails, neat edges and smooth, white skin.

But the girl with black hair and purple eyes was seen gently stroking the fruit in the box, as if she was appreciating a flawless work of art.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed and the corners of her mouth were raised.

"Are you right, God?"

……

Loren Cathedral, High Priest's Office.

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

It was a piece of metal-like fragment with a strange smell on it.

"This is a fragment I found in a corner of the bedroom in the Second Princess's mansion, High Priest," Freya said softly, "This should be a blade from an assassin contaminated by the power of the evil god."

"Hmm." The high priest nodded without comment.

"However, what Her Highness the Second Princess told me during the interrogation that night was that after she and Lady Saint fled to the first floor hall, it was her butler, Winster, who took action to eliminate all the attackers."

"But this fragment appeared in the bedroom on the second floor, which means that they had a fight in the bedroom at that time. If it was done by the butler Winster, I can't think of any reason why the Second Princess would hide this matter."

"At the same time, I also checked all the bodies of the assassins who died that night. None of the bodies had blades that could fit with this fragment."

"Your Excellency the High Priest, I speculate that they are hiding the body of an assassin."

The high priest looked at the gleaming fragments in his palm and nodded, "Freya, you have always been very smart."

"The reason for hiding must be to conceal certain information." Freya continued, her long blond curly hair hanging on her chest and swaying slightly. "The Second Princess's physical condition makes it impossible for her to fight the assassin. I can only assume that the Saint fought the assassin in the bedroom at that time."

"This shows that Her Royal Highness the Second Princess intentionally concealed the method by which the Saint Lady killed the assassin."

"I have tested the hardness of this fragment. With the Saint Lady's Holy Light spell and the apprentice-level spell she registered at the Noble Academy, it is impossible for it to be able to break the blades of those assassins' arms."

"High Priest, the Saint is hiding some special abilities. These must have appeared after a certain descent ceremony. There is something very wrong with her. I request that we launch another investigation into her."

"Perhaps it is the family heritage of the Haiweier family. This cannot be used as evidence to initiate an investigation." The high priest shook his head. "The Holy Temple openly launched an investigation into the Saint Chosen by the God of Light. What would the people of the Holy City of Morning Star Ridge, the Holy Temples in other regions, and the people who believe in our Lord think when they see it?"

Freya fell silent for a moment, then she said softly, "Then...I will investigate it myself."

"Freya, I have always treated you as my daughter." The high priest sighed, "You are smart and kind, have a firm belief in my Lord, and have a strong heart and an outstanding talent for the Holy Light."

"If you don't go into this matter, you won't be able to become a saint. In the future, you will still be the pillar of the temple and be able to become a leader of the temple."

"Your Excellency the High Priest, I am not angry about the position of Saint," Freya said seriously, "I want to know the truth."

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

Freya took the fragment and remained silent.

"Alas..." The high priest looked a little old. "You can go, but you cannot use the name of the church or anyone else."

"Thank you, Your Excellency the High Priest." Freya bowed slightly.

Then he turned around and walked out of the room in silence.

Chapter 1 Version Update

[World Tree System Update Completed]

[New features "Community System", "Arena", and "Guild System" are now online]

[The "Task System" will now assess the difficulty of the task based on the player's own strength]

["Character System" adds nickname ID setting and avatar setting functions]

[Dear players, welcome to version v1.1 "The Beginning of Disaster"]

【Wish you a pleasant journey】

……

Ye Xiao is probably the first person who spent universal points just to change his nickname to his own name.

The purpose of this function was originally to allow players to hide their real names in the community. Of course, there are also experts who surf the Internet directly under the initial default real name.

Ye Xiao was too lazy to change his name because he was a thrifty person, but there was no other way. He couldn't add others as friends under the name "Ella Haywel".

[The nickname "Ye Xiao" is already taken]

[The nickname "Yexiao123" is already taken]

I can't stand it any longer.

[Nickname "Night Snack" has been set successfully]

Shit... wrong number.

Ye Xiao has been using this crappy system's brain-controlled input method for more than 20 years, but still can't figure it out.

After all, he really didn't have the habit of thinking about how to write each word in the words that popped into his mind when he was thinking.

[After changing your nickname, you will need to wait one month 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 and straight street outside leads all the way to the gate of the inner wall of the church. When the sun is just rising and the morning light is dim, the street is already crowded with people coming and going.

In addition to the indigenous people, there are also players wearing strange clothes.

A week after the big time travel, the World Tree system version was updated and a large number of players poured into the urban settlements.

At the same time, in three days it will be the annual "Pilgrimage Festival". People who believe in the God of Light are flocking to the imperial city from all over the country to participate in this grand ceremony.

However, the number of people this time is said to be much higher than usual, and there are even tourists coming from neighboring countries.

The reason is that this time the "Ceremony of Light" in the Loren Cathedral will be presided over by the Holy Lady of Light, who has been recited by countless people and crowned by the Supreme Angel himself.

After all, most people have only heard of him, and now they finally have the opportunity to see this legendary Chosen One with their own eyes, so they naturally have to seize the opportunity.

The saint chosen by God is a symbol of faith for fanatical believers.

This also makes the streets, which usually have fewer people, become crowded in the early morning.

"Brother Ye...!?"

A familiar voice came, Ye Xiao turned his head, and saw his old friend Li Cheng walking towards him with a clanking sound in his heavy Pumpkin Knight armor.

"Hey Li Cheng, I can actually meet you here." Ye Xiao smiled.

This was certainly not a coincidence. Ye Xiao deliberately started waiting this morning as soon as the hall opened.

Based on his understanding of Li Cheng, this guy would always get up early in the morning to grab high-paying tasks, and then prepare various props and materials. He was the kind of person who cared about the team.

"Fuck, it's really you... buddy, long time no see." Li Cheng was stunned at first, then walked up and gave him a bear hug.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it only a week ago..." Ye Xiao hurriedly pushed away the chrome heavy armor. He had no interest in the man's arms at all.

"Ha, it feels like a year has passed." Li Cheng looked a little excited.

This is inevitable. After all, it is rare to happen to meet an old friend you are familiar with in this strange and vast world.

Ye Xiao patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "It seems like you're doing pretty well."

"Oh, we're all struggling to survive in this ghost world." Li Cheng raised his hand and ordered a glass of honey beer, then leaned the big sword on his back against the edge of the table.

"Why don't you take a mission first?"

"It's not easy to meet an old friend, so we must chat first. The mission can be done at any time." Li Cheng smiled, "It's just right to take a break for a few days occasionally... Hey, it just so happens that the broken system has a community function. We can't add a friend!"

Ye Xiao changed his nickname for now. After the World Tree system updated the community function, it can send friend requests to players within five meters if the nickname ID is known. With this system, players are no longer scattered and each doing their own tasks. When they are in the same city, they can send messages to friends directly through the system. When they are in different cities, they can use credit points to send messages.

However, you cannot send and receive messages instantly when you are not in the city area. You can only receive messages when you return to the city. Moreover, you cannot add natives as friends at present.

"My nickname ID is '夜消', uh, 夜 for night, 夜 for all night."

"Hahahaha, you changed your ID to make fun of yourself, right?"

"I made a typo when I was revising it..." Ye Xiao took a sip of grapefruit juice to hide his embarrassment.

[“The Saint’s Dog 2” requests to add you as a friend]

"puff"

Ye Xiao spat out a mouthful of grapefruit juice and almost couldn't breathe.

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

"No, your ID..." Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, "Isn't it a bit too abstract?"

"It's just a random nickname." Li Cheng touched the back of his head and laughed heartily, without feeling embarrassed at all.

"Why does your name have a 2 at the end?"

"When I created it, it told me that my nickname was repeated. Even adding 1 to it was still repeated. That's all I can do."

"Do you want this nickname so badly!?"

"Hehe, then you have never seen the peerless beauty of the Saint Lady." Li Cheng waved his hand, "If you were like me and had such a wonderful encounter with that beauty that day, you would also give your child a name like this."

"I would never give myself such a name." Ye Xiao held his forehead with his hand. His friend was good in every way except that he always seemed a little silly when it came to the opposite sex.

"Now that we've met, are you interested in joining my team?" Li Cheng patted the big sword beside the table. "To be honest, after reading the description of the guild system last night, I kind of want to form a guild."

"No problem." This is what Ye Xiao was waiting for.

Even though he knew there were many tasks with rich rewards after his rebirth, it was not realistic to complete them all by himself. He just wanted to have a team that could help each other and fight side by side with his old friends.

"Ha, that's fine. Seeing that you are carrying a staff, you should be a wizard, right?"

"Apprentice-level magicians currently only have elemental skills." Ye Xiao nodded.
