The Villain Saint is my secondary account

The petite girl's expression shifted repeatedly. She lowered her head blankly, looking at the head she was holding in her hands, and her eyes became slightly moist.

"But... but then who am I?"

Guangming gently raised his hand and, as if comforting a child, tenderly stroked Ella's head.

“You are who you are now, child.”

He caused a feather to fall, drawing countless changing lights and shadows in mid-air.

Ella stared wide-eyed as she saw countless versions of herself from the past through the slowly opening curtain.

It was a girl shrouded in darkness, wailing and crying in despair.

Through countless reincarnations, she was trapped in a cage of her soul by chaotic consciousness, facing endless loneliness and fear alone.

At that moment, she finally understood.

She was originally Ella Hayville.

It is neither Ye Xiao, the player who led humanity out of dire straits time and time again through tens of thousands of reincarnations, fighting against chaos and despair;

It's not Lydia, the Chaos Lord who can control everything, devour the void, and possess boundless divine power.

Instead, she was the frail duke's daughter whose body was possessed by chaotic consciousness from the very beginning and who was hated by countless people.

It's just Ella Hayville.

Chapter 255 Meeting You at the End of the World

This is why Lydia was able to so easily wrest control of the dark sun in the void from her hands, because it originally belonged to Lydia's body.

This is why Ye Xiao doesn't actually know many things she should know. The information left in her memory after tens of thousands of reincarnations is very limited, because she was never Ye Xiao to begin with.

At that moment, Ella felt a lingering sense of frustration.

It turns out that everything she did—her perceived strength and courage, her perceived composure and wit—was just a clumsy imitation of someone else.

Like an actor who suddenly loses their identity on stage, the hero in the epic, the god in the myth, is not themselves.

From beginning to end, she was just an ordinary duke's daughter.

Even if she were to return to her original world, how could she possibly be a match for the true chaos?

Ella now even seemed to regret opening the door, because if she had, she would at least still have the fantasy that she was the omnipotent "Ye Xiao".

Do you feel wronged?

The gentle voice of the God of Light came, sounding somewhat helpless and reluctant.

People say that gods are heartless, but if a god loves everyone, he will also suffer because of everyone's suffering.

“I know telling you all this might make you sad, child... but I still feel that you need to know the truth.”

"But you don't need to feel guilty about it. I understand that it takes great courage to fight against chaos."

"This is merely a narrow passage back to that world. My remnant soul still retains a trace of power. Child, if you wish, I can still open the door for you to return to Earth."

As Guangming's kind voice faded, a snow-white door appeared before Ella.

"You can also choose to return to his world and live out the rest of your life in peace, which is what those who chose to save you hoped for."

"The people who saved me?"

Ella seemed to have picked up on something and asked in surprise.

The God of Light nodded and gently tossed out a feather.

The screen of light and shadow displayed a scarred purple-haired girl with countless tentacles nailing her to an inverted cross.

"Samael...?"

Ella asked in surprise.

"You really have no fear of death, trying to pull something under my nose."

Lydia, who resembled Ella, emerged from the flowing mud.

"Knowing full well that he's a fake, is it really worth risking your life to send him to that world?"

"Ah……"

Samael, his expression somber, curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "He resembles me by a third... that's enough... As for your puppet, he's nothing but a good-for-nothing who can pronounce my name."

"Oh my, that's really touching, Miss Bai Jingran."

Lydia's sarcastic voice rang out, and then she turned her head, seemingly seeing Ella outside the light screen.

"Oh? Look who's here!..."

The God of Light waved his hand and severed the veil. The power of chaos was too pervasive; even this brief spying was dangerous.

But this was enough for Ella to realize why she was able to "return" to Earth.

The "apology" Samael spoke of was not an apology for killing her, but rather a helpless resignation in the face of a resolute farewell.

"And the origin of the remnant soul within you."

The God of Light tossed out another feather, saying, "At this moment of parting, the truth of the final cycle of reincarnation will be the last gift I leave you on behalf of that world that is about to be destroyed."

The light and shadow changed again, and in the scene, Ye Xiao, covered in blood, was limping to the side of the silver-haired girl lying on the ground.

All around are endless seas of sand, and only the carvings on the ruins peeking out from the sand suggest that this place may have once been a holy city.

Ye Xiao remained silent, or perhaps he was too exhausted to speak. He simply walked to the side of the dying Ella and raised his blade.

But just as he was about to plunge the knife in, his bloodshot eyes seemed to suddenly see something, causing the long knife in his hand to pause abruptly.

"Wow--"

A faint, almost sobbing sound rose in the wind, but the man caught it with keen perception.

He stared intently, only to see two transparent phantoms gradually appearing on the girl's body.

A creature as dark and filthy as a demon, with countless tiny tentacles growing all over its body as if it were trying to defile everything it touched.

A pale, frail figure, like an infant, with outstretched arms, sobbing and crying, resembled only a helpless child.

Staring at the two eerie phantoms, Ye Xiao stood still like a decaying statue, pondering for an unknown amount of time, before finally gently putting down his knife.

"I see."

"It's not your fault."

He murmured to himself, slowly knelt on the ground, and then placed his large hand, covered with mottled sword marks, on the girl's forehead.

"Whoaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The next moment, the two phantoms simultaneously began to let out painful screams. The dark demonic shadow reacted particularly violently, and was forcibly severed from the girl's soul as Ye Xiao clenched his fists.

The law of slashing can cut through everything, including the most fundamental soul.

Ye Xiao grabbed it in his palm, and the malevolent spirit transformed into tangible mud that clung firmly to his arm and spread wildly across his body.

"I curse you! I curse you!!!"

"You can't save anyone!!!"

Even if it's the last human being!! You can't save them!!!

Countless mouths sprouted from the phantom attached to his arm, emitting sharp howls.

"You think you can control me?! I'll make you kill her!!"

"I am chaos! I am all evil in the world!!!"

"I am immortal!! I will possess your body and defile your history and future!!!"

You don't have that chance.

Amidst the commotion, Ye Xiao merely curled the corners of his lips, watched the dark phantom gradually enveloping his body, picked up a knife from the ground, and pointed it at his own neck.

"What are you doing?! What are you going to do?!"

The phantom screamed, seemingly the first time it had truly shown fear.

"It's pointless! I won't die!"

"I will return sooner or later!! When that time comes, everything you saved will be destroyed by me!!!"

"We'll talk about that later."

Ye Xiao smiled, a strange sense of freedom shining through his weathered eyes.

"But before that, you'll be with me first..."

"Go to hell—!!!"

"Swish"

With a single slash, perhaps due to the enhancement of the laws, the blade was incredibly fast.

Ye Xiao's head rolled to the ground, covered in blood.

Only his body remained in the posture of holding the knife, and dark cracks gradually appeared all over his body, as if he was being eaten by an invisible mouth, and slowly dissipated into the air.

"Wow--"

"Wow--"

Only the sound of the baby girl's illusory crying remained in the air, but after a helpless swaying, she slightly opened her tearful eyes and saw Ye Xiao's peacefully closed head on the ground.

It seemed as if they had realized what had just happened, or perhaps there was some kind of guidance from the unseen world.

She stretched out her short arm and gently placed her palm on the head.

Chapter 256 Hero and Saintess

"As he vanished, he restarted the world one last time, taking Lydia's consciousness with him as he sank to the bottom of the seventh layer of the divine tomb's seal."

"And you, embracing his remnant soul, were reborn in the next cycle of reincarnation."

As the light and shadow faded, Ella's body trembled slightly.

After a moment's hesitation, she spoke again, "I have one more question... Your Majesty."

"I can answer any questions you may have, child."

"The God of Light said softly."

"Where exactly did the company and the system come from?"

This question was slightly unexpected by Guangming, perhaps because he hadn't anticipated that this was what Ella most wanted to know in this situation, but He quickly provided the answer:

"This goes back a long time... In fact, at the very beginning, our world was not connected to Earth."

"But in the long years of seeking to escape chaos, I inadvertently discovered a passage in the void leading to another world."

"The Caesar Corporation, which is also the initiator of the Great Transmission to Earth, received the message I conveyed and reached a cooperation agreement with me."

"He will send out otherworldly humans who can fight against the will of chaos, and I will give them the power to grow in this world."

"So... the World Tree system was actually created by you?"

Ella sighed softly.

"Not entirely. A more accurate description would be that it was accomplished jointly by the former gods, the corporation, and the laws of the world."

The God of Light shook his head slightly.

"At this point, it has become an integral part of the world's operation, and its maintenance depends on the world's will."

"The company's structure in the real world originated from that human, Ye Xiao."

"Ye Xiao?"

"Yes, in the tens of thousands of cycles of fighting against chaos, he also found a way to connect with the blue planet during his ascension to godhood."

"Although the spacetime of this world keeps repeating itself under the influence of chaos, from the perspective of Earth, it is still the first encounter between the two sides."

"Through this, Ye Xiao was able to gather more players as capital to fight against Chaos, and as you know, he awakened the old gods that I had sealed into the earth, and they participated in this endless cycle of war."

"Well... as a god of this world, I can't judge whether his actions were good or bad, but in terms of the result, it can be considered an effort he made."
