Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 615 The Truth
Above the white sea of ​​flowers, as Xin Lailai spoke, everything around seemed to suddenly become quiet.

The swaying sea of ​​flowers, the diffuse foul mist, the huge holy corpse in the air... everything seemed to be frozen there. After several seconds, the tranquility was broken by the rise of a circle of faint white light.

"As expected... I can't hide it from you guys."

A weak female voice sounded in everyone's mind, and a white figure slowly condensed from the core of the Holy Spirit's corpse, and finally turned into a white-haired woman with soft features and a haggard and sad look between her eyebrows. She looked at Xin Lailai in front of her with an extremely complicated look and said:

"I'm sorry... everyone, I didn't mean to deceive you, but my condition has deteriorated to an irreversible point."

"I originally thought that I would also fall into filth, but your appearance gave me a glimmer of hope. Rather than falling into filth like this, it is better for you to kill me who has absorbed a lot of filth. In this way, although it cannot change the current situation of this world, it can at least make the filthy power of this world weaken, bringing a glimmer of hope to this world."

"It's just that... that approach might be too cruel for this child, so I wanted to end it all without you knowing, but you..."

"There's no need to say these meaningless words. I should have said it before. What I want to communicate is not this projection made up of power, but the 'real White Saint'."

Without waiting for the white-haired woman in the air to finish her words, Xin Lailai suddenly interrupted her narration. He stared at the white-haired woman in front of him and emphasized every word. The other person's figure was reflected in his dark pupils, as if he could see through her roots at a glance.

"Um, sorry, I don't have any more now..."

"I say, Your Excellency the White Saint, it has come to this. Do you really need to escape to this extent? Or... the name I used was not accurate enough, causing you to misunderstand? Do you think that I just stopped the person next to me just to prevent him from accidentally killing the White Saint who wanted to commit suicide?"

The white-haired woman tried to explain, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xin Lailai again, which made her look slightly stunned. Just as she wanted to continue explaining, Xin Lailai's next words made her stunned.

"In that case, I will use a more detailed title. Your Excellency the White Saint, or... the Abnormal Characteristics of the Abyss - the White Saint?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole world fell into deathly silence.

In mid-air, the expression on the face of the White Saint, who had originally looked very calm, froze. She looked at the black-haired young man in front of her, and her slightly raised hand gradually dropped down, and she fell silent.

On the ground, Saint White, who was still excited about the appearance of the white-haired woman, stared at this scene and froze there, wondering if she had heard something wrong. However, Saint White's first words after a brief silence actively ruled out this possibility:
"Can I ask... when did you find out?"

"If I were to say I had doubts, it was probably when I came into contact with the White Crystal in Lily's body. To the people of this world, the power of the White Saint might just be a simple supernatural power that can alleviate and suppress the erosion of filth. But to those who know the nature of filthy power, the emergence of a supernatural power that can resist filthy power in a third-order native world is the most incredible thing."

"Of course, at first, I also considered whether the so-called power of the White Saint was just some kind of world power that had undergone a special transformation. However, as time went by, especially when I saw that the Pale Witch couldn't resist the erosion of filth, I directly denied this conjecture."

Xin Lailai replied calmly, methodically describing the entire process of how he realized all this.

Ever since he came into contact with the White Crystal, he had begun to have doubts about the origins of the White Saint. However, the degree of this doubt was not serious at first, and it was just enough to make him be a little more cautious. However, as his understanding of the past of Baichu Star deepened, his doubts about the power of the White Saint began to grow stronger.

What kind of coincidence could allow a world eroded by the power of the abyss to give birth to an extraordinary power that can fight against the corrosion of filth. This power is also mysterious enough that a civilization with grandmaster-level wizards could spend thousands of years without any substantial gains. It can suppress the filthy power that can grant immortality to living things, and it can carry the souls and power of various powerful individuals to make them fight for themselves as heroic spirits.

It can be said that, in terms of performance, the magic displayed by the power of the White Saint has far exceeded the upper limit of this world. Therefore, after reading Orton's notes, Xin Lailai's suspicion of the power of the White Saint has increased to an extremely high level. After reading Saidan's diary, he directly made an extremely affirmative conclusion in his mind:
——The power of the White Saint definitely does not come from this world itself.

"Of course, if that's all, it would only make people doubt the origin of the White Saint's inheritance, but it wouldn't make people think of the characteristics of the abyss. What really makes me dare to think in this direction is actually the process of the birth of the White Saint as recorded in the White Kingdom."

Xin Lailai stared at the White Saint in front of him and said:

"According to the records in those materials, the first generation of White Saints did not actually possess this power from the beginning. Instead, after the filth descended into this world and started a nearly fatal war with the filthy creatures with the remaining power of this world, she suddenly awakened the so-called 'Pure White Power'."

"After that, according to the records, each generation of White Saints was born without the kingdom noticing, and they were often innocent little girls who were on the verge of death due to war or unexpected disasters. Although the people in this world automatically explained this phenomenon by saying that the White Saint was a messenger sent by the White Holy Spirit to save the world from suffering, if you look closely, you will find a problem that is easily overlooked."

"That is, each generation of the White Saint must be born after the previous generation of the White Saint has completely died."

"On the surface, this doesn't seem to be a big deal, but what if we take it a step further? Suppose the inheritance of the White Saint was a cover-up from the beginning to the end. Suppose those chosen 'lucky ones' were not saved when they were on the verge of death, but were taken over by the will of the 'White Saint' after death?"

"This also applies to the first generation White Saint. What if she, as the first generation White Saint, did not accidentally awaken the 'Pure White Power' during that battle? Instead, she, as the first generation White Saint, died on the battlefield with the filthy creatures, and was then chosen and inhabited by some 'thing', which gave birth to a 'White Saint' who possessed her memories and inherited her wishes?"

"If this is true, then a lot of the incongruous details can actually be explained, especially the question of who the last White Saint is that has been bothering us. This can be perfectly explained at once, and in this way, a new question will also arise——"

"If these speculations are true, then what exactly is the so-called 'White Saint'?"

A plain voice came out of Xin Lailai's mouth, and it resounded in the minds of everyone present as if it had some kind of magic.

"Some kind of extraordinary power with its own will? Where does this power come from?"

"From the outside world? Then why is it so obsessed with saving this world?"

"From this world? Then why does it have such magical power?" "There must be a reason for its existence. There are too many mysteries surrounding the identity of the White Saint. The behavior of each generation of the White Saint is too pure, and the effect of the pure white power is too magical. If we combine all of this and think about it together, then the only reasonable answer I can think of is only one..."

"The power of the White Saint comes from the abyss. Or rather... it is a brand new power that was born in this world after the abyss descended upon it. It is even possible that this is the true characteristic of the abyss power in this world."

"Am I right, Abnormal Characteristics: Lady of the White Saint?"

In mid-air, Xin Lailai stared at the white-haired woman who had fallen silent in front of him. His eyes drooped slightly, and his pupils reflected the other person's face, which was so gentle that it made people feel inexplicably distressed. He spoke calmly.

"..."

The White Saint listened to Xin Lailai's story without answering. She just lowered her head to look at her body and the dark red core under her feet. After a long silence, she slowly spoke:

"You are right. The inheritance of the White Saint... has indeed never existed. The fourteen generations of the White Saint over the past thousand years are indeed me."

Snap, snap——!!

As the words fell, the dark red core under his feet began to break into cracks, and a strong foul smell gushed out of it. Finally, with a clear shattering sound, the figure inside was completely exposed:

I saw a dark red figure standing there quietly, with snow-white hair growing into scarlet tentacles from the ends, and the entire lower body seemed to have merged with the clothes made of thousands of tentacles.

Looking up along the position of the body, one would find that her beautiful face was covered with uneven dark red blood vessels. Combined with the fact that most of the body had completely lost its human features, at first glance, the White Saint in front of one's eyes no longer looked like a human being. Instead, she looked more like an evil god with a female appearance.

"I am the being that was born after the power you call the abyss invaded this world. This is what you call an abnormality. As you can see, I have now become the source of the filthy power of this world. So you only need to kill me to end it all."

A hoarse female voice came from the mouth of the White Saint who looked like an evil god in front of him. She slowly stretched out her hand, whose five fingers had turned into tentacles. A strong and filthy power suddenly surged out of her body, instantly dyeing the surrounding light into a dark red. The whole person exuded a strong sense of ominousness and weirdness.

"This is my true appearance. The one lying below is just a body I borrowed from Miss Lena. As long as I die, she will wake up again."

"Everyone, please get started. I have learned from Miss Lena's memory that if you from Paradise want to leave this world without cost, you must eliminate the anomalies in that world."

"Please rest assured, Miss Lian Na is in a safe condition. After I die, she will wake up automatically. Then please thank her on my behalf and tell her that I am grateful for everything she did for me."

"As for this child, please take her away from this world. As for the power in her, please rest assured. Although her birth has a lot to do with me, she is a real living being, not a creature of the abyss."

As the White Saint spoke, her gaze lingered for a while on the Little White Saint who was held in the air by the nun. An extremely complex emotion flashed in her eyes. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes, with her arms hanging quietly in front of her, as if quietly waiting for death to come.

"Uh-huh..."

A tiny childish voice came from the mouth of the little white saint. She looked at the white saint in front of her, trying to open her little mouth, as if she wanted to say something to her. At the same time, she looked at Xin Lailai and the other two beside her, looking panic-stricken.

To her, everything that happened before her eyes was too sudden and beyond her imagination.

The mother she had always wanted to save was actually an abnormality born in the abyss. She had to kill her to save the world, but all the preparations she had made along the way were of no use at all... The information in Xin Lailai's conversation with the White Saint was far beyond her understanding, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Tsk, that's enough."

Just when the Little White Saint was at a loss and at a loss, and Xin Lailai and the Death Keeper remained silent, Yamu, who was standing aside, seemed to be unable to bear this atmosphere any longer. He suddenly tutted in displeasure, then looked fiercely at the White Saint in front of him, stepped past Xin Lailai, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her close to him in front of the White Saint in her stunned and puzzled eyes, and scolded her angrily:

"How long are you going to run away for?!"

"The source of filth? Will your death save the world? Will killing you allow me to leave this world in peace? F**k you, are you taking us all for fools?!"

Boom——! !

There was a deafening roar of thunder, and a ray of golden lightning fell heavily to the side. The splashing lightning arc collided with the filthy power that permeated the surroundings, completely annihilating it.

"Why do you think I held back on this thing of yours?! Do you really think we can't see your condition? The source of the filthy power? Don't be ridiculous, I'm not so blind that I can't tell the difference between the source and the infected body?"

An angry shout rang out from midair. Yamu grabbed the collar of the White Saint tightly, with extremely violent arcs of lightning dancing in his golden pupils. He shouted angrily:
"Fuck you, the source of filth. Do you really think that I learned Abyssology for nothing? The source of the filthy power in this world has always been the world itself. It has nothing to do with the Abyss characteristics of you who can do nothing but self-sacrifice."

"Seeking death? I've been in this shitty world for so many days, just to send all those damn abyssal creatures and their incarnations to the sky, instead of leaving the real damned things alone, to kill a useless person who can't even think of harming others, who is afraid of causing trouble to others when he kills himself, and who can't do anything except saving people, and finally makes myself angry!!"
