Shi Xiaobai smiled faintly and did not give any additional explanation.
At this moment, he was pondering.
If ending the Age of Bravehearts was to kill the Infernal King, then what was the King's Mandate?
The contents of these two choices were likely related to the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and planned on asking the three people beside him. Perhaps, 'King's Mandate' was a term with a specific meaning in the stories of the seventh level?
Just as Shi Xiaobai was about to ask, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock, knock …"
This knocking sound was very rhythmic, and it also seemed to be very orderly.
Pulp Farmer happened to be sitting closest to the door, so he immediately got up and opened the door.
A green-skinned dwarf was standing respectfully outside the door.
"What's the matter?"
Pulp Farmer asked. His tone was not particularly polite because the three of them had met the green-skinned dwarf back when they first came to Transcendence. The green-skinned dwarf was clearly a servant that served alien races, but back then, his tone and actions revealed his contempt for other races and his superiority as a Transcendent. It was irritating.
However, at this moment, the green-skinned dwarf's attitude was extremely humble. He lowered his head deeply and said respectfully, "I'm really sorry for disturbing the rest of the Bravehearts! It's this. His Majesty Leonis finally woke up early in the morning and wishes to meet the few outstanding human Bravehearts. Therefore, this lowly one has invited all of you to Leonis Palace as guests! "
The green-skinned dwarf had his head lowered from beginning to end. His choice of words and tone were extremely careful. Clearly, after yesterday's Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament, the human race had garnered the attention of the Transcendents, to the point of looking up to them.
When Shi Xiaobai and company heard this, they looked each other in the eye. Their eyes were filled with surprise.
Leonis had used his fourth form and nearly became a tyrant despised by everyone. The root of the problem was that he was forced by Shi Xiaobai. What was worse was that despite paying such a huge price, he was still defeated. Leonis had nearly lost all his dignity.
Logically speaking, Leonis should hate them very much, so why did he invite them as guests so politely after waking up?
Could it be a Hongmen Banquet?
Shi Xiaobai did not mind this. To be honest, Leonis did not die on the spot and had woken up so early. It had greatly exceeded his expectations. After all, in the situation back then, Shi Xiaobai had no way of holding back. He had aimed at Leonis's weak point and used the Pig Slaughtering Knife. It was a merciless killing move.
This also showed how terrifying Leonis's physical strength was.
However, no matter how exaggerated Leonis's recovery abilities were, he was definitely in a weakened state. Even if he wanted to set up a Feast at Hongmen, he did not have the ability to do so.
Shi Xiaobai said to the trio, "Let's go. There's nothing to worry about."
In fact, Pulp Farmer and company were not particularly worried. If they were afraid of the Transcendents seeking revenge, they would have left Transcendence overnight. After all, this was the territory of the Transcendents.
Pulp Farmer said with a nod, "Let's go. Let's meet King Leonis before leaving Transcendence."
Liu Yu nodded and turned to the green-skinned dwarf. "Lead the way."
…
…
Shi Xiaobai and company were currently in the palace, not far from the palace where Leonis was resting.
Along the way, they saw quite a number of Transcendent palace maids and guards. They cast looks of curiosity and awe at Shi Xiaobai and company.
Shi Xiaobai's feats at yesterday's tournament had already spread throughout Transcendence last night. Being able to defeat Moya and Leonis was already fascinating to them, but the way Shi Xiaobai had won left them in shock.
If not for their sense of racial superiority causing them to be reserved, they would have already become Shi Xiaobai's worshippers.
After all, in this world of Bravehearts, Bravehearts and the strong were existences most worthy of respect. And Shi Xiaobai was the strong among the Bravehearts.
Leonis's palace was naturally opulent and extremely luxurious. There were rows of guards on both sides of the palace.
After Shi Xiaobai and company entered the palace, they saw Leonis wrapped in a blanket and sitting on the bed. He looked drowsy and looked extremely weak.
Upon seeing Shi Xiaobai and company walk in, Leonis slowly raised his head and opened his drooping eyelids.
"You are here."
The deep voice and calm tone were as though he was speaking to a familiar friend.
Shi Xiaobai asked, "Why did you invite us here?"
Leonis coughed and said, "This King invited all of you here to thank you."
Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows pricked up slightly as he asked in puzzlement, "Thank you?"
Leonis chuckled. His laughter was filled with weakness and exhaustion. He said softly, "This King should hate you. It was you who caused This King to end up in this state, but This King only wishes to say to you. Thank you, human. You have fulfilled This King's dream."
Shi Xiaobai was even more puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Leonis coughed once again as his turbid eyes were filled with a look of reminiscence. He said softly, "This King is not a pure Transcendent. From a young age, This King was belittled because of the bloodline of another race. Back then, This King had a dream. This King dreamed that one day, a powerful alien would appear and defeat the strongest member of the Transcendents, making all the Transcendents realize an important thing. All races in this world were born equal. However, as This King gradually became stronger, This King gradually forgot this dream. After This King became the strongest member of the Transcendents and became their king, it went against this dream. Human, you have defeated This King. Ironically, This King is now the strongest member of the Transcendents. Therefore, you have realized This King's dream of burying himself. Furthermore, I heard that you have stopped This King from committing the evil act of nearly killing a fellow clansman. Therefore, regardless of anything, This King has to thank you! "
When Shi Xiaobai saw Leonis's serious expression and that it did not seem fake, his eyes softened a little. He said, "There's no need to thank me. Your dream will be realized sooner or later. Even if it isn't This King, there will be an alien that can defeat the strongest member of the Transcendents sooner or later. This is because the Transcendents are not the strongest race in the world. Furthermore, your dream has only been partially realized. Whether the Transcendents can truly realize that all races in this world are born equal, and whether they can let go of that disgusting sense of superiority, will still depend on your actions in the future. A change in racial mindset requires an opportunity, and even more so, a leader with a new mindset! King Leonis, a true king has to guide his people down the correct path! "
Shi Xiaobai's words made Leonis fall into deep thought. After a long period of silence, he said with a sigh, "What you said makes sense. What you said makes sense, but …"
Leonis suddenly changed the topic. His turbid eyes suddenly focused as they shimmered with a cold beam. It was as though a sleeping lion had suddenly revealed its ferocious fangs.
