The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Chapter 120 The King of Soft Rice

"Oh, you got beaten up so badly right from the start?"

As Ye Xiao spoke, he noticed several figures wrapped in cloaks standing on either side of him.

These must be the assassins sent by the Old God to launch a sneak attack on that "self" over there. He originally wanted to take a good look at these people, but unexpectedly, the next moment, "Ye Xiao" who was sitting by the window suddenly looked up, and a fierce killing intent suddenly surged in his eyes under his messy hair.

"Varied……"

Before Ye Xiao could react, a sharp blade of light instantly sliced ​​through his body, splitting the entire hall in two.

"Ouch! O ...!"

Ye Xiao immediately jumped up and down and shouted, and the dream scene collapsed and turned into countless bubbles.

The world instantly returned to pure white.

"Wait, what just happened? How did I get slashed like that??"

Ye Xiao was completely confused and looked at the Dream God next to her, who was covering his mouth and chuckling.

He still felt the lingering phantom pain of being cleaved in two by a single blow. Although he knew that everything that had just happened was an illusion, the feeling of death was very real.

"I forgot that you were already a Saint in that dream. Even though you were seriously injured, your last counterattack was still quite fierce."

Isera shrugged.

"I understand the logic, but why was I also attacked?"

"Because as I just said, this is a dream made up of 'memories about you,' not 'your memories'."

The girl floated up, flapped her sleeves, and shook off a bunch of bubbles. "The owners of memories are all kinds of people: travelers from other worlds, humans from this world, and even gods... The only thing they have in common is that this memory is related to you."

"Therefore, you were actually in a dream constructed from the memories of an assassin who had tried to kill you in a previous reincarnation. As the assassin who had tried to kill you, isn't it normal for you to retaliate against yourself?"

"So many twists and turns..."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "I don't want to get beaten up, especially by myself. Can't you just project the memories directly onto me?"

"These are, after all, other people's memories."

Ysera pulled her fingers back into her wide sleeves and waved them. "In order to withdraw them without making a sound, I can only turn them into dreams."

"So, if I want to see what happens next in that dream, I have to defeat my Saint-level self in the dream first?"

Ye Xiao said helplessly, "No, isn't this asking too much of a question?"

"Look at it from another angle, isn't this exactly the right way for you to improve your skills?"

Isera covered her mouth, a hint of mischief flashing in her clear eyes.

"I did intend to let you know more, but to be honest... Mr. Ye, you are much weaker now than you were in most of your previous reincarnations."

"That's a bit hurtful."

Ye Xiao let out a hum.

Although he was a little annoyed, Ye Xiao did realize this.

Since he last saw the memory of his duel with Ella, he has studied it for a long time in his spare time, but he still can't figure out how he cultivated his sword skills to the extraordinary or even mythical level in other reincarnations.

"This is not meant to belittle you, Mr. Ye. It's just that your close relationship with Miss Ella in this life has led you to come into contact with higher-level powers and a richer system of abilities at an early age."

Ysera snapped her fingers lightly, her hand hidden in her sleeve, and the scene shifted again, with a blood moon hanging high in the night sky.

They were now atop a tall tower. Not far away, a figure in a black coat was weaving through the falling lightning. On the other side, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was roaring as he summoned thunderous lightning from his palm.

"Oh, is this a scene from back in the Fog City?"

Ye Xiao quickly recognized the scene before him as the one where he had once fought against Alex, the Thunder Saint.

“That’s right. Alex possessed extraordinary strength, but you used elemental magic, miracle spells, and divine magic borrowed from Miss Ella to finally break through his abilities and successfully defeat him.”

Isera nodded and explained.

"So you were just spying on us from the sidelines at that moment?"

Ye Xiao crossed his arms and said, "Is there anything wrong with my playing style? Isn't it quite safe?"

"The problem is that there is no problem. You can always find tactics to defeat enemies stronger than yourself based on experience and thinking."

“Even in the worst-case scenario, you can borrow Miss Ella’s divine power, or even simply call upon Miss Ella to turn the tide.”

"This often leads to ultimate victory, but in doing so, you also lose the opportunity to unleash your full potential."

"You were once the only human warrior who could rival the Chaos Witch, but that was the result of your constant trials and tribulations. Now, Miss Ella is growing, but you have stagnated because you are protected by her power."

"So that's it..."

After hearing this, Ye Xiao also seemed to understand.

Indeed, Ella is, after all, herself, so when Ella’s divine power increases, it is essentially the same as her own increasing, and this often solves most problems.

Therefore, even when facing a stronger enemy, Ye Xiaoxi instinctively considers how to find a breakthrough from the more powerful divine magic of Ella, rather than focusing on his own sword skills.

Seeing that Ye Xiao seemed to understand, Isera nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiao then raised his head and said, "But now that I have Ella's protection, is it really necessary for me to continue practicing sword skills?"

If he can earn a rich woman's money through his own abilities, why should he work hard?

Having weathered many storms, Ye Xiao is no longer the impetuous young man he once was. Now, he only wants to take shortcuts in life.

"...No matter what, you were once the leader of the rebel army. Is it really okay to rely on your former enemy with such confidence?"

Isera was stunned.

"Well, Ella's already my wife anyway,"

Ye Xiao proudly raised her chin, "What's wrong with just clinging to her coattails?"

Seeing this guy's unambitious appearance, gentle as a dream god, I couldn't help but puff out my cheeks.

“That’s different! You are you, and Miss Ella is Miss Ella. Although I am pleased that you can get along well, at the end of your destinies, you will each represent humanity and the gods and go your separate ways.”

"Oh no, I'll die if I leave Ella."

Ye Xiao looked dejected.

"you……"

Isera was speechless for a moment, her soft little face flushed red. Finally, unable to contain her anger, she floated up on a cloud and chopped Ye Xiao on the forehead with her little hand. "I'm serious, this can't go on!"

Seeing that the young woman seemed genuinely anxious, Ye Xiao decided not to tease her anymore and instead gave a mischievous smile, "Alright, alright, I was just saying that casually."

"Whether it's the Old Gods or the Dark Shepherds, Ayla's divine magic is already quite difficult to deal with them. If you really have a way to increase my strength, we can definitely give it a try."

Chapter 121 Cyclic Trials

When Ye Xiao said this, he thought it was just a simple cultivation session like usual.

It wasn't until Ysera threw out that dream bubble again, and he was repeatedly slashed away five times by his past self in the scene, that he finally realized something seemed wrong.

Death in a dream is fake, but the pain is real.

Even with his iron will, Ye Xiao began to feel overwhelmed as he was constantly being split in half from various angles.

"...No, isn't this just me getting beaten up all by myself?? I'm not learning anything at all??"

"After all, this is your own path, and I don't know exactly how you grew up."

Ysera floated in mid-air, sticking out her tongue, "I can only let you experience it slowly during the process."

"Why do I get the feeling that you yourself aren't very confident in this method?"

Ye Xiao noticed the cunning glint in the girl's eyes and suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap.

"How could that be? My method has been verified!"

Ysera put her hands behind her back, her gaze drifting, "Do you know about the memory system? I actually contributed to the World Tree system that you travelers from other worlds use."

"what?"

Ye Xiao was genuinely surprised now. "Wait a minute, the World Tree System is actually related to you?"

The matter of the player system remains a mystery to Ye Xiao, but the Dream God, in the course of his conversation, actually revealed it.

"Oh, I forgot, you don't know about this now."

Ysera tilted her head slightly. "You can think of the World Tree system as a tool used by this world to accommodate you travelers from other worlds. It has become the law itself, and some highly qualified gods—like me, hmph, have even participated in the construction of some of its functions."

"So the system was created by the gods of this world? What was its purpose?"

Ye Xiao hurriedly asked.

"Not entirely,"

Unexpectedly, Ysera only gave a vague answer, "As for the purpose, it's not for me to answer that... You'll understand these things when you break through to the Saint rank."

"Then who can answer me? Is it really that hard to just say what you mean?"

Ye Xiao scratched her hair with an annoyed expression. "You've piqued my curiosity but then refused to answer, which is making me very uncomfortable."

"Relax, these are not things you should be thinking about right now. Hurry up and advance your level, we don't have much time left."

Ysera waved her hand. "You should feel lucky. This is a unique opportunity to experience the authentic memory system in depth."

"Is the 'emotional' feature actually never implemented?"

Ye Xiao immediately sensed something was amiss, "Using me as a guinea pig?"

"No, it was just hidden after being loaded due to some minor accident. Under normal circumstances, it would not be activated by travelers from other worlds."

Ysera looked a little guilty. "But there are still a few isolated activation records, so don't worry, you're definitely not the first one."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this "Memory System" before.

Yes, Ella accidentally activated this thing when she invaded the soul of Mad Bishop Evans in an attempt to gather information.

Ye Xiao was surprised that he never saw the system again after that; it turned out that it was actually a feature that had been cut.

"Tell me the truth about why this feature wasn't implemented in the end, or I'm not going to work on it anymore."

Are you kidding me? Ye Xiao isn't willing to be a sucker if there are any hidden risks involved.

"It's really nothing..."

Isera bit her lower lip, still trying to hide it.

"Let me leave this place, let me out!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! ... It's just that... it requires a high level of willpower from the user, since it involves being mentally trapped in a cycle repeatedly. It's hard for most people to endure, and the basic outcome is usually a mental breakdown."

Ysera scratched her cheek with her finger. "But you're a human who has fought against the Chaos Witch for countless lifetimes. I believe in you. You can pull through!"

"There's no way they could survive this!"

Ye Xiao's lips twitched. It turned out that this Dream God, who looked innocent and cute, was actually a cunning and ruthless fellow. Sure enough, he lived up to his reputation for being full of tricks.

Last time, Ella just recreated the memories of that mad bishop and fought countless "Battles of Bards" in that snowy field. And that was only after mastering the basic Templar class.

Now, Ye Xiao is going to force his way to the Saint rank in this cycle. Who knows how many times he'll have to be killed before he finally reaches the end?

Moreover, he was able to compare himself to Ella and discover that during his time in the dream, time in reality passed exceptionally slowly.

At first, he thought it was the Dream God trying to tell him more information, but now he realized that the other party had deliberately trapped his mind here!

"In short, you have to believe in your potential. How about we set a small goal first and break through to the extraordinary level?"

Isera suddenly raised her hand and threw a large number of bubbles into the sky. "If you're tired of repeating the same scene, there are still many memories of yours here."

"I'll come back to find you after you've completed all of them."

"No?? Wait, I regret it! Where are you going?!"

Before Ye Xiao could stop her, the cotton candy-like girl darted into the cloud of clouds in his arms.

He jumped up and tried to grab the cloud with his hands, but only grasped a wisp of mist without any substance.

A milky white stream of air then escaped from between his fingers and disappeared into the air.

Having missed his target, Ye Xiao landed on the ground and swayed a few steps before his eyes met the murderous gaze of another version of himself lying half-reclined on the ground not far away.

"Grass……"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared, and his body was once again cut in two.
