"Tsk, I didn't realize you had this kind of fetish?"

Ye Xiao gave her a look of disdain.

"Hey, wasn't this your suggestion first???"

Kronos was speechless. "Alright, enough with the pleasantries. I should go find my own meaning in life..."

"Don't rush, take this."

"What is that...an invitation?"

Kronos raised an eyebrow. "A wedding with the saintess? Holy crap!? You've got guts, no wonder those two demons in my team used to talk about you all the time."

"That saintess is now considered the true form of Chaos, right? You were able to take down something so terrifying..."

"Ahem, I've been talking too much."

Ye Xiao slapped Kronos hard on the back, making him wince in pain. "Goodbye and don't come back."

"Okay, congratulations on your marriage."

After saying that, Cronus disappeared into the spatial ripples.

"Well, judging from your conversation, it seems we won't be able to go back for a drink tonight."

Li Cheng's voice came from the side.

"Well, I have a few things to take care of... or rather, I need to take a look."

"Okay... By the way, the two sisters still need to discuss the company's restructuring matters with you on Blue Star. Don't forget, or I'll be the one getting a beating."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ye Xiao casually tossed his suit jacket onto the sofa, picked up a trench coat and draped it over his shoulders, then opened a portal with a single finger.

Behind the door sat a silver-haired girl drinking tea on the balcony. When she saw Ye Xiao enter, she simply smiled gently.

The letter that Kronos gave to Ye Xiao contained very concise information: a coordinate located in the void.

Therefore, Ye Xiao considered it and decided it would be better to go with Ella.

Sharing the same consciousness, there was no need for pleasantries between the two. Ella stood up, snapped her fingers, and a spatial portal connecting to the void slowly opened.

Chapter 280 The End of the Dream God's Trick

Behind the door, a not-so-spacious courtyard came into view.

It's like a terrace floating in the universe, with the Milky Way woven from stars on all sides, and huge pale tentacles that occupy almost half of the field of vision.

Of course, although the Chaos Sun is very large, it has always been hidden in other coordinates of the void and cannot be seen. It is just that the present world has just recovered from the brink of destruction and still needs some care from the big eyeball.

Returning our gaze to the pavilion, it may have once been a beautiful scene of blooming flowers, but now only withered vines and dried petals scattered on the ground remain.

In the middle of the balcony is a small hammock, which is tied to the marble dome by withered vines.

As a divine realm independently established in the void, its area is indeed rather small.

Unlike the magnificent temples Ye Xiao had seen before, the space occupied by Ye Xiao and Ella was nearly a quarter of the room just by walking out of the portal.

Why create such a small place in the void?

So why have we called him here now?

Their gazes swept across the balcony, and soon they spotted another letter on the hammock woven from withered vines.

Ye Xiao stepped forward, opened the letter, and found that the elegant handwriting inside was exactly the same as the first letter Cronus had given him, clearly also the handwriting left by the God of Dreams.

There was a seal placed on the letter by divine power, but it dissipated into space immediately after Ye Xiao touched it, seemingly left for him.

"From Ella Havil, the new Goddess of Light, and Mr. Ye Xiao, the hero of this world:"

"When you see this letter, I must congratulate you on finally accomplishing a feat that even generations of gods have failed to achieve—defeating Chaos."

"And please rest assured, this is not a trick I left behind... In fact, by this time, I would probably be long gone."

“That’s normal. Lydia isn’t stupid. After everything that’s happened, she can probably sense my problem.”

"After breaking the seal, the first thing she will do is to force me to submit, just like she did to Adam and Gaia."

"If it were in the past, before fate reached its end, I might have chosen to continue to endure, but in the very end, I would only proudly tell her that I am a god who yearns for the light, even though I would probably die because of it."

"However, you two need not mourn for me; this was my own choice."

"Perhaps after some pretense and deception, I can wait for you to reach this bright future together, but my mission ends here."

"I'm tired. After enduring so many years and committing so many sins, this is the best ending for me."

"I know what I'm saying might confuse you, but that's why I'm leaving this letter—both to clear things up for you and to give an account of my life."

"I am Ysera, the goddess who holds the power of dreams and weaves the destiny of the present world."

"But ironically, 'fate' was the thing I hated most. I wove the fates of all living things on earth, yet I knew that I too would eventually be swallowed by chaos."

"That's why I've always referred to myself as the Goddess of Dreams, because I believe that dreams are mostly beautiful and full of hope."

“Mr. Ye Xiao, do you remember I once told you that no matter who it is, after experiencing tens of thousands of reincarnations, it is very difficult to maintain one’s sanity?”

"At the time, I was actually referring to myself, not you."

"This feeling is not simply about the extension of lifespan, but about having to make painful choices time and time again when faced with the same fate, even if it goes against your conscience, but you know deep down that it is the only right thing to do."

"You two must already know the origins of the Chaos Will. The Three Sacred Artifacts are actually tools used by the Light to deal with Chaos."

“After that, the light fell due to the severe corruption of chaos, and I took over its mission.”

"In order to ensure that the Holy Casket accumulates enough souls, I caused it to be stolen in every reincarnation and instigated the witch to start a world-ending war that swept across the continent."

"In order for the Holy Ring to be integrated into the Chaos, I also guided the witch to control this holy artifact, so that her incarnation could become stronger by devouring gods in each reincarnation."

"Mr. Ye Xiao's appearance was an accident. It was not the result of fate, but a human being who was truly beyond our expectations."

“In fact, he was able to defeat Lydia in the third cycle. If it weren’t for my intervention, Lydia might have had to sleep in the seal for decades before she would have had a chance to break it.”

“But I know that this is not enough. Although the world can enjoy temporary peace, Lydia will break the seal sooner or later. Disasters that are postponed until they are beyond our control will only be more terrifying.”

"So I interfered with the outcome for the first time. The witch reversed everything in time, and Mr. Ye Xiao's efforts through three cycles were thus shattered."

"At this point, perhaps you two should understand what I mean by 'sin'."

“I do love this world deeply, and I love the creatures on this land. But I must push them toward destruction in every cycle, guiding the witch to slaughter them endlessly, in order to catalyze another chaos born from the hatred of all living beings.”

"Continue, continue like this, guiding my most hated enemy to kill everything I love..."

"Lydia's essence is evil to the world, and I must give birth to an evil that is evil to Lydia."

"Until we see the birth of that singularity that can turn everything around."

"As I said before, I don't want to see Miss Ella. I'm afraid of... but more than that, I probably hate her."

"Forgive me, even though she is the hope I have nurtured with all my heart and soul, even though I know that she is indeed different from Lydia, I am afraid that facing that face will cause my spirit, which I have suppressed to the point of numbness through tens of thousands of reincarnations, to collapse."

"Perhaps this is the madness rooted in my heart. Sometimes I resent why all the other gods and even the light have already left, but I am left alone to watch over one cycle of reincarnation after another in this empty temple."

"Perhaps... this is fate."

"This is the last cycle. I left behind two remnant souls. One will guide Councilor Wendt in making the final choice, and the other will help Mr. Ye Xiao defeat his former fallen self in times of crisis, because I am still a little worried about Mr. Ye Xiao's current level of effort."

"Deborah is not a means to deal with Lydia, but rather a way to draw on Deborah's power and use it as a key to break Lydia's seal."

"The company's old gods are actually afraid that she will completely break free of the seal. The ascension plan was originally intended to restrain Lydia, but of course, they could not succeed."

"Without a doubt, Lydia will kill them and their lackeys, while Adam and Gaia will submit like two maggots."

"But I believe that you who have returned from the Tomb of the God of Light should be able to kill it and completely break the curse of Chaos on this void."

"As for those innocent people from God and children who joined the Fire Seed Project, I sheltered them and hid them in a crevice of the present world. They were also innocent victims caught up in it, and now that things are over, I entrust the two of you to awaken them."

"As for me, I am a god of the old era. My best destiny is to fade into the twilight of the old era together with my former colleagues."

"Finally, I wish you success in traversing this darkness and arriving at a beautiful dawn."

Chapter 281 The New World (Epilogue)

After reading the letter, Ye Xiao fell into a moment of silence.

He and Ella had been so focused on the starry sky that they hadn't noticed that the pavilion offered a panoramic view of the most expansive and magnificent corner of the present world.

The azure sea meets the towering mountains, and the lush forests intertwine with the majestic snowfields.

Perhaps in every cycle of reincarnation, the God of Dreams sits here gazing at this beautiful world, which is how he manages to persevere?

A god who holds destiny in his hands yet is gentle—how cruel, yet how fortunate.

Ye Xiao carefully put the letter back into his pocket, while Ella gently raised a finger, and holy light fell, causing the withered vines and flowers in the pavilion to come back to life.

Unfortunately, the empty hammock no longer held the soft, cotton-candy-like girl. Ye Xiao could only pluck a lily and silently leave it by the bedside.

……

A week later.

December of the 84th year of the Valencian calendar.

Three days have passed since this year's pilgrimage festival, but the royal city of Loren is still bustling with a large population.

The streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and deep red festive petals fluttered in the air.

The scene was so magnificent and joyous that it was even more lively than the day the new queen ascended the throne.

However, Queen Skadi didn't care, because today was the wedding day of the famous saintess, Ella Haviere.

Instead of the Holy City, they chose Loren, presumably because it holds more of the Saintess's beautiful memories and is more meaningful.

In a way, this should actually be considered an honor for the Loren Empire.

Although her fiancé happens to be our new empress's fiancé, she doesn't care.

After all, she was the saintess who saved the world, and she knew Ye Xiao the longest. It was reasonable for her to enter the household as his legal wife before Ye Xiao.

So Skadi didn't care.

"But I have to be next!!!"

"No way!! I'm next!!!"

That being said, at this moment in Duke Heville's mansion, the tall and beautiful Queen and the tiny, bean-sized demon maid were making a ruckus like children in a dressing room.

"It was me!! Sister Greta, you clearly said it after I did!!"

"But I was here first! I was here first!"

Clearly, faced with harsh realities, the fragile friendship the two girls had previously built easily crumbled to ashes.

Susie Yun, dressed in a gorgeous long gown, watched the two arguing from the sidelines and could only helplessly try to dissuade them, "Gentlemen, today is Ella's wedding day, we'd better prepare first..."

Before Susie could finish speaking, little Greta grabbed her arm. "Miss Susie! You be the judge! Ye Xiao and I have been partners through thick and thin for a long time. Last year during Pilgrimage Day, I went through fire and water with him, while Skadi was still messing around in the academy! How could she possibly marry Ye Xiao before me?!"

"W-what do you mean by 'fooling around'?!"

Skadi immediately grabbed Susie Yun's other arm, "Sister Susie, don't listen to her nonsense! When it comes to feelings, there's no such thing as first come, first served!! I spent every day at the academy cultivating our relationship, and you didn't cherish the opportunity and didn't confess earlier. Now you regret it and want to make up for it by taking his place!!"

"It's me first! It's me first!!!"

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!!!"

"Ah this, this..."

The two of them were making so much noise that Su Xiyun was almost dizzy. Her eyes were bulging with sweat. She had no choice but to say, "Why don't you go and ask Ye Xiao what he thinks? Arguing here won't get you anywhere and it will only delay Sister Ella's wedding."

"Well……"

"It seems to make sense."

The two then stopped fighting, and Su Xiyun was finally able to break free of his arm and wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Although I feel somewhat sorry for Mr. Ye, I still have to deal with the trouble I caused myself.

To be honest, Miss Su felt a little wronged. If she had known that guy was such a womanizer... well, there was nothing she could do. She could only blame herself for arriving late.

However, you can faintly hear crying coming from the next corridor, which is even more exaggerated.

Miss Windsor was nestled in the arms of Saint Tanya of the Duchy, sobbing uncontrollably, "Waaaaah, he married someone else! He married someone else, Tanya, waaaaah!!!..."

Tanya could only comfort her best friend like she was holding a baby, which was both funny and a little helpless.
