Infernal domain, Infernal King's bedroom.
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "On the contrary. Darling has asked the right person. As for this question, I'm afraid only I can answer it."
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised as his eyes immediately lit up. The answer to the question was likely related to how to complete the Absolute Choice. In fact, he did not hold much hope for the Infernal Queen, but he never expected her to know the answer.
Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask, "What is the Infernal King's Mandate?"
The Infernal Queen glanced at Shi Xiaobai and said with a smile while covering her mouth, "It looks like Darling is eager to know the answer to this question. Then, I won't keep you in suspense. The Infernal King's Mandate …"
As the Infernal Queen spoke, she walked to the desk and suddenly pulled out a worn-out book from the pile of books. She handed it to Shi Xiaobai and said, "Darling, take a look yourself."
Shi Xiaobai could not help but roll his eyes. So the answer to the question could really be found on the desk!
Shi Xiaobai gave the Infernal Queen an odd glance. Since the answer was in the book on the Infernal King's desk, why did the Infernal Queen say that she was the only one who could answer it? Could it be …
Shi Xiaobai suppressed the guesses in his mind and reached out to receive the worn-out book. Although he could find the book by rummaging through the desk, it was at the bottom of the pile of books. It would still take some time.
Shi Xiaobai lowered his head to look at the worn-out book in his hand. It was an old book that looked like it was about to rot. It looked like it had experienced thousands of years of time.
Shi Xiaobai flipped open the book and words that had nearly melted into the blackish-yellow paper entered his eyes. Mottled rust covered a portion of the words and there were also signs of worms gnawing on it.
The words were blurry but he could barely understand them. A portion of the words were missing but the general gist of the words could still be guessed. Shi Xiaobai read the worn-out book with great difficulty.
The book was very thin with only about a dozen pages. The words were very large and each page had less than a hundred words. Shi Xiaobai read it seriously and soon, he reached the end. However, his heart suddenly turned heavy.
The book described a first-person narrative.
The protagonist of the story was D 'yaba. He was a prince of the D' ya clan. He was doted on from a young age and had a blissful childhood.
The protagonist had an elder brother named Dia Ji, who was also a prince of the Dia Clan. He was the idol he looked up to since he was young and his closest playmate.
D 'yaba's happy life came to an abrupt end at the age of sixteen. That year, an unknown infectious disease suddenly broke out in the D' yaba Clan. The infected clansmen would become incomparably ugly and gradually lose their rationality. They would become violent and crazy, killing wantonly.
For the sake of the entire D 'ya Clan's survival, the D' ya Clan began to implement quarantine and exile. They banished the sick clansmen to an isolated area, leaving them to fend for themselves.
While the banishment and quarantine was in full swing, the protagonist of the story, Dyaba, was infected!
Logically speaking, it was impossible for D 'yaba to be infected because he had been living in the palace for a long time and had never left the palace when the infection broke out. There was no reason for him to be infected!
However, there was no way to change the cruel reality. Although D 'yaba was a prince, half of the D' ya Clan had been exiled due to an infectious disease. Even a prince would not be spared.
D 'yaba was banished to an isolated prison.
The story was a first-person narrative. Therefore, at this moment, the author used a sentence to describe his exile to the land of despair where the infected gathered — "I was banished to hell."
And the book ended abruptly when it reached this point. This simple story was actually rather boring, and there was too much suspense left behind. However, the author left a sentence on the last page that made Shi Xiaobai's heart suddenly feel heavy.
"Many years later, I learned that the reason I was infected was because of my elder brother's evil schemes. It was for the throne that I was willing to give up …"
Shi Xiaobai sighed gently and looked up at the Infernal Queen. He said, "What about the second half of the story?"
The story naturally did not end there. What happened after D 'yaba was banished to' hell '? From' many years later ', it could be seen that D' yaba did not die from an infectious disease, nor was he killed by an infected patient. Instead, he managed to survive. And what would he do years later when he learned that his tragedy was caused by the betrayal of his most revered brother?
Furthermore, what did this story have to do with the Infernal King's Mandate?
Shi Xiaobai was filled with questions.
The Infernal Queen smiled and said, "The second half of the story is very complicated, but it's also very simple … Not only did D 'yaba not die, the clansmen that were infected with the strange disease did not die either. Furthermore, under D' yaba's lead, they found a way to survive and became another race. When he learned that his infection was caused by D 'yaji, D' yaba was enraged and launched a war. "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, his eyebrows pricked up as he said in surprise, "Two races? War? Could it be … "
The Infernal Queen said with a nod, "That's right. Just as Darling is thinking, the D 'yaji clan is the present Celestial race. And the ugly race that was banished due to the disease is the present Infernal race! D 'yaji and D' yaba were the first Celestial King and Infernal King respectively! The hatred between them ignited the flames of war between the two races! Since ancient times, the Celestials and Demons have been irreconcilable because their relationship originated from a disease and a hatred! "
The tiny book narrated a simple story, but it was the origins of the Celestials and Demons!
"Then, what has this got to do with the Infernal King's Mandate?"
Shi Xiaobai asked.
That was the most fundamental question.
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "The rise of the Infernal King, the birth of the Infernal race, the beginning of war, everything is because of one word. The Infernal King's Mandate is naturally this word — revenge!"
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly. "Revenge on the Celestials? Or revenge on the first Celestial King? "
The Infernal Queen shook her head and said, "Neither. The Infernal King's hatred is directed at the Celestial King. It has nothing to do with the other Celestials. And the first Celestial King had long died. Therefore, to the Infernal King at this moment in time, if there is a Mandate, it would naturally be revenge on the present Celestial King! "
"Darling, if I did not infer wrongly, the Infernal King's Mandate is … to kill the present Celestial King!"
Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows pricked up slightly as he carefully considered the reasonableness of the inference.
A Mandate referred to the missions or responsibilities that a person was entrusted with. And the Infernal King's Mandate naturally referred to the responsibilities or missions that the Infernal King shouldered!
The second Infernal King, the third Infernal King, and even the generations of Infernal Kings had in fact inherited the first Infernal King's position and will. Therefore, they naturally shouldered the missions that the first Infernal King bestowed upon them. This seemed to be the answer to the Infernal King's Mandate.
Revenge was the Infernal King's Mandate!
And who did he seek revenge from?
As the hundredth Infernal King, it was obviously impossible for him to seek revenge on the first Celestial King, D 'yaji, nor would he seek revenge on the race that was related to him by blood. There was only one target for revenge — the present surviving Celestial King!
There was no problem with this reasoning.
"To complete the Absolute Choice's mission, I have to kill the present Celestial King."
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai felt his head ache. To kill the Celestial King or to kill the Celestial King. This question was a dilemma.
