Liu Yu turned his head stiffly and looked at the people beside him. He stiffly opened his mouth and asked stiffly, "Hey, if This Penniless Priest did not remember wrongly … is the Hero King's name Dawn Li?"
It was a question, but Liu Yu's tone was filled with horrified certainty.
Pulp Farmer and Feng Yuanlin nodded in a daze. Towards this historical figure who appeared the most in primary and secondary school textbooks, people respectfully called him the Hero King, but they would never forget his name.
However, the name 'Dawn Li' that sounded a little feminine was not something that people liked to mention. They always felt that it was a strange 'stain' on the Hero King who had led a heroic life and was a hero all her life.
But it was also because of this that his name left a deep impression on the world.
That man, the man who created the Age of Heroes, had a feminine name. His name was Dawn Li.
"The Hero King stole the Celestial Jade and gave it to the Infernal King. He stole the Infernal Sword and gave it to Leonis. He then pretended to be the Celestial King and burned the Transcendence Holy Tree, instigating a war. He appeared at the most critical moment of the war and revealed everything, making the three kings attack him in anger. Finally, he killed the three kings alone."
Liu Yu repeated the outline of the legendary story in the textbook in a stiff tone. Then, he said in a horrified tone, "Other than Leonis being replaced by a new king, as well as the life-and-death battle between the three kings being different from that legendary story, everything else is the same. This Penniless Priest originally thought that it was a coincidence or a setting of the assessment program, but … why did the Hero King appear!?"
Liu Yu, who was usually quick-witted, was now stuttering. The appearance of the Hero King had shocked him so much that he could not think straight.
"It's fake."
Sunless, who had her eyes on Shi Xiaobai the entire time, appeared calm as though she did not care about anything else. She said calmly, "This Hero King is also a setting."
This sentence seemed to reveal the secrets of the heavens.
Everyone came to a sudden realization.
Since Shi Xiaobai and Speechless could be set as the Infernal King and Celestial King respectively, and since the assessment program could repeat the story of the past to instigate the war between the three realms, why couldn't the assessment program 'create' a fake Hero King, making the story that had been 'replayed' more reasonable?
This was a fake Hero King.
This could only be a fake Hero King.
This was because the true Hero King had died three thousand years ago, becoming an eternal legend.
Liu Yu came to this realization as though he had just woken up from a dream. A wry smile suffused across his lips. "Such simple logic, yet This Penniless Priest actually needed a reminder to think of it. Indeed, concern leads to confusion. The influence of the Hero King's name on us is too deeply rooted. However, why would the assessment program do this? What was the point of creating a fake Hero King and repeating that legend? Now that the story has progressed to this point, next … "
As Liu Yu muttered to himself, he suddenly felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His face turned extremely pale as his lips trembled slightly. "The story has been inferred to this point. The following plot is … The Hero King slays the three kings!"
"This … Could this be the purpose of the trial program?"
.....
Within the basin.
Speechless felt like he had been struck by lightning as he stood rooted to the ground with a dumbfounded look. At the moment the blond youth appeared, there was no need to know his name. Speechless had already recognized the blond youth's identity from the white robe with violet patterns on the sleeves, the resplendent blond hair that resembled the first rays of dawn, and the handsome side profile.
This was the Hero King in his youth. His looks were identical to the ancient portrait that had been passed down for three thousand years.
The existence that he had been forced to imitate from a young age had shrouded his life like a shadow. It was like a nightmare that had taken root in his reality. The three words that Speechless had heard the most in his life were the 'Hero King'.
"Child, the Hero King did it, so you should do it as well."
"Speechless, what you did wasn't perfect enough. If it was the Hero King …"
"Can't do it? Then force yourself to do it. If the Hero King can do it, you have to do it! "
"Why isn't your hair blonde? Why don't you dye it? The Hero King's hair is blonde. "
"What are you being proud of? You are still far from it. At your age, the Hero King was already … "
"Child, everyone knows that the Hero King never married, nor did he leave behind any children. It was only our Li family's ancestor that gave birth to the Hero King. Therefore, everyone says that our Li family does not have the bloodline of the Hero King. That's completely ridiculous. The Hero King is a descendant of our Li family, so it should be said that the Hero King is a descendant of our Li family! So Speechless, you have to prove to the world that our Li family can produce the first Hero King, and there will definitely be a second one. "
“.....”
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice resounded in his mind. It was like a devil's complaint, or the sound of a beast grinding its teeth in the night.
Speechless' eyes glazed over as his mind went blank.
The Hero King had appeared.
He had appeared in front of him.
The man that he had been trying to imitate for more than a decade had appeared in his world.
How, how was this possible?
"Impossible …"
Speechless muttered to himself. Suddenly, he widened his eyes as he was jolted awake.
"Yes, that's impossible!"
Speechless' lifeless eyes gradually regained their luster. He looked at the blond youth and said with a sneer, "You are fake, an existence that was fabricated!"
Speechless realized the 'truth' of the matter. The real Hero King was long dead. The blond youth in front of him, be it his appearance, name or storyline, was a fake existence that matched the Hero King's. He was an imitation created to imitate the Hero King!
When the blond youth heard Speechless' words, he turned his head slightly and said in a deadpan manner, "On the contrary, you are the fake. To be precise, everyone here is fabricated."
A mocking smile suffused across Speechless' lips. "To the fake you, the real us is naturally fake."
When the blond youth heard this, he slowly shook his head but he did not say another word. It was as though he could not be bothered to engage in such a debate. He surveyed the three kings and repeated the words he said when he appeared, "The Infernal Sword was stolen by me. The Celestial Jade was stolen by me. The Transcendence Holy Tree was also burned by me. The war was instigated by me. Everything was done by me. So, take revenge on me."
When the gargantuan heard this, a probing look flashed in his eyes, as though he was considering the veracity of the words.
Shi Xiaobai grinned as he slowly raised his sword. The clever him had naturally realized that the youth named Dawn was an imitation of the Hero King. But since it was an imitation, it was unlikely that he was too weak. Since he was a mighty figure, Shi Xiaobai had no reason to not accept his provocation.
There was no need for a reason to fight a mighty figure.
However, before Shi Xiaobai could say a word, someone beat him to it.
Speechless had already taken a step forward. His eyes flickered with an angry glint. The sneer on his lips was colder than the snow of winter.
"You can imitate that legend, but you should not have allowed his imitation to appear in front of me."
A self-deprecating smile suffused across Speechless' lips. "That's because as an imitation of that man, I will not allow my own kind to exist."
Speechless turned his head to look at Shi Xiaobai and the gargantuan. He said with a chuckle, "Don't do anything. He's mine. I have to prove myself … that I am the best imitation because that is the meaning of my existence. "
