Chapter 465 (1/2)

The human world once had three holy trees—”Fate Tree”, ”Time Tree” and ”World Tree”

The pixie race was a special lifeform born from the ”World Tree” The maturation of every fruit of the World Tree meant the birth of a pixie

Pixies were known to be beauty incarnate since ancient times Not only was it because pixies were iven the blessing of the ”Seven Contrary Virtues” by the World Tree at their birth

It was a debatable question whether hus of hue, the actions of infants were used It was debated if hurew up or not, but there was no conclusion to this debate even after thousands of years Due to different angles and points of views, the explanations given by both sides were reasonable No one was able to conclusively retort the other, so no one could prove that they were absolutely correct

However, there was no such aard debates for pixies That was because pixies were given the grace of the World Tree to be 'born perfect'

Pixies were born with the seven precious 'Virtues' — Chastity, Teence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility

Although pixies were born with these virtues, they had to undergo the baptises would slowly develop For exaht not need to work because she was born with a silver spoon The virtue of 'Diligence' would slowly be ground away by neglect on a daily basis

Pixies that could maintain the seven virtues all their lives were extreends were there 'Holy Pixies' who truly maintained all seven virtues However, 'Holy Pixies' were a legend after all It was impossible to discern if they were fiction or a true existence

Typically, a well-educated pixie would only be able to radually disappear as they grew up,them not much different from ordinary humans

However, to pixies ere born with the virtues, there was one thing that was forbidden It was even abhorred—Virtues could disappear, but it absolutely could not become a Sin

For exaence' could disappear, but it absolutely could not become 'Sloth'

'Chastity' could be lost, but one could not indulge in 'lust'

Pixies could connive the virtues given to them by the World Tree disappear, which they would view it as their incompetence, but they would never taint the seven deadly sins of the seven virtues That was because it was the ave birth to them

However, if pixies tainted themselves with an 'evil' from any one of the seven deadly sins, be it a pixie commoner or pixie aristocrat, or even the pixie queen, they would beco tainted by 'evil' They would be exiled at the very least, or even vanquished

'Fallen pixies' were the most forsaken species to the pixies, but unfortunately, the World Tree had buried in theave them the seven virtues

That was because as long as they destroyed a particular 'virtue' of theirs and take the initiative to 'corrupt' theer the seed hidden within theth

The ability to exchange power for 'corruption' was the gifts with the best of intentions while si the cruelest of tests when the World Tree birthed the pixies

That was because there were times when even pixies who yearned for peace would have no choice but to bon before power At thatthe necessary strength at the cost of tainting the the hunting of greedy hunity were threatened, so these things would become a very difficult choice for them when compared to the 'virtues'

Most pixies would choose to 'corrupt' theer Although itthe World Tree, it wasthemselves

These were the origins behind fallen pixies and corruption They were pixies born with the seven virtues fros

Ten thousand years ago, the first apocalypse befell the human world

The strongest destroyer of the apocalypse—the Original Sin of Cala the three holy trees that acted as pillars for the human world The World Tree naturally failed to escape the calamity

Following that, as the 'clean-up crew', the Seven Deadly Sins began slaughtering the res left in the huenocide

During that calaenocide, there was only one pixie that luckily survived

The only pixie that survived was Kali, an adolescent who still maintained the seven virtues She was chosen by the World Tree to become its successor

Without the World Tree's procreation, Kali became the last pixie in the human world

From that moment on, Kali realized her fate and her mission She once secretly swore to maintain the final bloodline of the pixies and to absolutely not trigger the strength in the 'corruption seed', never to become a 'fallen pixie'

Thankfully, inheriting the powers that the World Tree had bestowed upon her th Furtherh different planes of existence, she always took the forly old woman' Therefore, she never fell into a dire state where she needed to activate the 'corruption seed' during the past ten thousand years

Although in the ten thousand years of travel, she had lost her 'Kindness' because she ruthlessly killed her eneth and lost her 'Diligence' because she no longer needed to walk to traverse large distances, but there was no inclination towards corruption She did not encounter a dire state that needed her to trigger the corruption It was already considered quite a fascinating miracle

But not long ago, due to the self-sealing required to enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower and how she was trapped by the four Level Lords in the God Slaughtering Forer the 'corruption seed' in order to save shi+ Xiaobai, as on the brink of death

When 'sacrificing shi+ Xiaobai' and 'sacrificing herself' was placed on the same balance, Kali would not hesitate to choose the latter

She destroyed the virtue known as 'Patience', and took the initiative to take in the evil known as 'Wrath' In order to save shi+ Xiaobai, she had violated her sworn oath and betrayed the World Tree by turning herself into a 'fallen pixie'

She did not regret her actions Even if she had to do it again, she would make the same choice

Although compared to the ten thousand years of her life, the amount of tirain of sand in a desert, to her, that short period of ti span of ten thousand years

In the ten thousand years, not only was her life see and endless, she was also accompanied by loneliness

And in the recent short span of ti escapades While watching hi, at times be infuriated, at ti blood flow through her veins, and at ti

Although he never noticed her ever-watching eyes, nor did he know about her knowing se of loneliness at all by being a lone observer

What she could get froine

As such, how could she watch by the sidelines the person who filled her 'emptiness' be destroyed?

How could she let the youth that possessed the loftiest of ideals die at the beginning of his journey?

Even if she needed to use a lie of 'hoas a trivialherself if she becah she was no ordinary pixie and that she was equivalent to the successor of the World Tree', she would absolutely not allow that youth to fall into an eternal slumber

Therefore, she chose 'corruption' in order to co' him

She did not regret her decision at all
