"How about we make a bet?"
Speechless said on a whim, "Since we have different opinions, why don't we take this opportunity to make a bet? I'll bet on the God King's victory, and you bet on the Demon King's victory. How about it? "
Shi Xiaobai pricked up his eyebrows slightly and said, "What are the stakes?"
Speechless pondered for a moment as he lowered his head and pondered for a long while. Finally, with a sly smile, he said, "The loser has to satisfy a request from the winner that does not touch the bottom line."
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he could not help but hesitate. He was naturally filled with confidence that he could clinch victory, but the stakes were just too strange. Furthermore, he did not have anything he wanted Speechless to do.
At this moment, Mu Yuesheng finally could not stand it any further. She said to Shi Xiaobai, "Shi Xiaobai, don't bet with him."
Shi Xiaobai looked over with a questioning gaze.
Mu Yuesheng glanced at Speechless and hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Although the Celestial King is shameless, he is indeed very powerful. Typically, the Celestial King will be the final victor."
Mu Yuesheng did not choose to directly expose Speechless's' scam 'because once she did so, Speechless would end up in a rather awkward situation. However, she could not bear to see Shi Xiaobai being deceived. In her heart, Speechless and Shi Xiaobai held a very important place. One of them was a cousin who was related by blood. He had once stood up for her when she was young, while the other was a partner that filled her with admiration and gratitude.
Speechless secretly stared at Mu Yuesheng and expressed his displeasure at her act of 'siding with an outsider'.
Speechless, who was bent on scamming Shi Xiaobai, obviously would not give up so easily. He immediately goaded Shi Xiaobai and said, "It's fine if you don't dare to bet. After all, the Celestial King is indeed terrifyingly powerful. This bet is not fair to begin with."
Shi Xiaobai could see through Speechless' intentions and found it amusing. From the looks of it, the Celestial King was truly powerful for him to give Speechless such inflated confidence. From Speechless and Mu Yuesheng's point of view, a Infernal King was no match for a Celestial King under normal circumstances.
However, this was not a normal situation.
Speechless and Mu Yuesheng would never have guessed that he was the Infernal King.
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, he should have ignored such an unskilled goading tactic, but for some reason, he had the urge to accept the bet. Even if the stakes were not very attractive to him, wouldn't it be a waste not to take it?
Shi Xiaobai made up his mind and said with a grin, "Since you want to bet so much, let's do it. Don't go back on your word when you lose. This King needs to take this opportunity to think about what request to make."
Speechless was delighted when he heard that. He felt that the fish had taken the bait as he hurriedly said, "A gentleman keeps his word."
Just like that, a bet with both sides "harboring ulterior motives" was formed.
Right at this moment, a deafening stomp suddenly sounded from the horizon!
The ground began to tremble violently, and the sound of footsteps rang out continuously like thunder. It was getting closer and closer. Everyone looked over, and even before they could see it, they could already imagine the scene of a huge monster walking over with a loud rumble in their minds.
And when they really saw it, they realized that the monster they imagined was not as terrifying as the hundred-meter-tall gargantuan that was walking over from the horizon. It was a terrifying scene that felt like a mountain was pressing down on them. It made it difficult for them to breathe.
Shi Xiaobai, Pulp Farmer, and company, who had been to Transcendence, immediately recognized the hundred-meter-tall gargantuan that was walking over in a shocking manner. It was the lowly gatekeeping gargantuan in Transcendence. They were alarmed as they looked each other in the eye and saw through each other's thoughts.
"This is Transcendence's new king?"
The hundred-meter-tall gargantuan slowly approached and suddenly leaped up high. He traversed thousands of meters and agilely jumped into the gigantic basin. With a boom, it was as though a mountain had fallen from the sky. Many of the spectators on the ground were bounced up high and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
The gigantic basin was the arena for the life-and-death battle between the three kings. The basin was vast and boundless, like a plain. And thirty thousand spectators would stand above the basin to watch the battle.
It would not appear crowded even if thirty thousand spectators circled the basin's periphery. It was enough to imagine how vast the basin was.
This was also what made the negotiators pleasantly surprised. There was such a perfect battleground in the Silent Desolate Lands. It was as though the Heavens had specially designed this terrain for the life-and-death battle between the three kings.
The basin was where the three kings would battle. And at this moment, the hundred-meter-tall gargantuan had leaped into the basin in an exaggerated manner from thousands of meters away. There was no doubt about its identity.
Liu Yu said with mixed emotions, "This Penniless Priest never expected that this gargantuan would be the new king of the Transcendents. It's said that he's even stronger than King Leonis?"
Feng Yuanlin and Pulp Farmer nodded their heads in unison. They were also extremely astonished.
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat surprised as well. He still remembered that the gatekeeping gargantuan did not dare to retort when he was humiliated by Moya. He never expected that he was a mighty figure that had hidden himself so deeply? Was this the so-called 'enduring humiliation to carry out an important mission'?
Speechless stared at the hundred-meter-tall gargantuan in the basin. This was one of his opponents for the battle. From his appearance, he looked like a powerful opponent. He wished that he was not just strong in appearance but weak in reality.
With this thought in mind, Speechless immediately turned his head when he heard Liu Yu's words. He asked, "Do you know this gargantuan?"
Liu Yu appeared somewhat reserved in front of Speechless. He even tidied up his clothes slightly before recounting his encounter with the gargantuan in Transcendence in all seriousness.
Seeing that Liu Yu was about to use the Liu-style storytelling method to describe an extremely simple matter in an extremely complicated manner, Feng Yuanlin immediately pulled the rug out from under him. He used a sentence or two to summarize the gargantuan's identity.
Speechless was also somewhat astonished as he said, "He was once a lowly watchdog, but now, he's the illustrious Transcendent King. Interesting."
The Gatekeeper Giant sat down in the basin and closed his eyes to rest for a moment. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, as if he was tired of waiting. He suddenly stood up and looked around the basin where more and more people were gathering. He opened his mouth and roared.
"Where are the Celestial King and the Infernal King? Get the hell out here to die! "
The gargantuan's roar was like rolling thunder. It was so loud that everyone could not help but cover their ears.
A cold beam flashed in Shi Xiaobai's eyes. He did not like the gargantuan from the beginning, and now, he felt even more loathing for it. Shi Xiaobai took a step forward and was about to jump into the basin.
However, there was someone who was one step ahead of him.
Speechless' back faced Shi Xiaobai and company as he walked towards the basin in a suave manner. As he walked, he said, "Sorry, Shi Xiaobai. There's something I forgot to tell you. Actually, This Emperor — is the Celestial King. This Emperor will probably win the bet between us. Haha!"
Speechless laughed out loud as he jumped into the basin!
At that moment, he felt that he was very cool. The timing he chose to announce his identity was perfect!
Speechless was satisfied as he turned his head to look at Shi Xiaobai's flustered and exasperated look.
But when he turned his head, Speechless was given a fright. That was because Shi Xiaobai had suddenly appeared behind him. Like him, he had entered the basin.
Speechless said in surprise, "Why did you follow as well?"
Shi Xiaobai looked at Speechless with a complicated gaze. With a sigh, he said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. This King is actually the Infernal King …"
