Shi Xiaobai considered his words for a moment before saying, "Before answering your question, This King needs to first state a premise. In This King's understanding, This King is a real existence, which is also a trial-taker from the human world. As for you, you are not only an existence created by the assessment program, but you are also an imitation of a great figure from three thousand years ago in human history. You have to accept this premise. If not, any explanation from This King will sound like a lie to you. This King will guarantee that everything he says next is the truth. What about you? Are you able to accept this premise? "
Dawn fell into deep thought when she heard this. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she sighed and said, "The premise you mentioned is completely opposite to what I know. In my understanding, I am a trial-taker from the human world, while you are a storyline character that is refreshed every month on the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. From a rational point of view, I cannot accept the premise you mentioned. However, I need to resolve the doubts in my heart. So, speak. Even if I am deceived by your lies once again, I want to hear your answer. "
A smile suffused across Shi Xiaobai's lips as he said, "Very well, This King will tell you the boring answer behind the riddle. In fact, the Lucifer's Sword This King took out was not an imitation, but the real Lucifer's Sword. The great figure from three thousand years ago had already passed away. This Lucifer's Sword was left in the human world, and This King was lucky enough to become its new owner. When This King signed the contract with Lucifer's Sword, a brief scene flashed in This King's mind. In the scene, there was a blonde woman dressed in a dark blue dress and silver armor. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a dark blue hairband. Her bangs were parted to the sides of her fair cheeks. She raised Lucifer's Sword high up and slashed at the countless demonic creatures in the world. That strike shocked This King and it was deeply imprinted in This King's mind. It made This King, who had never come into contact with sword techniques, have the thought of learning swords. And coincidentally, Lucifer's Sword gave birth to a sword spirit in the three thousand years of silence. This King heard the names of sword techniques and the holy sword's name from the little sword spirit's mouth … "
When Shi Xiaobai said this, he paused slightly.
Dawn frowned slightly. What was the situation with this answer that sounded like a story? What did it have to do with her question? It seemed to be an irrelevant answer?
She could not help but urge, "Continue?"
Shi Xiaobai nodded and continued, "This King clearly remembers the names of the sword moves that the little sword spirit mentioned — Three Thousand Li Sword, Hundred-eight Thousand Li Sword, Three Thousand Li Sword of Weak Water, Wind Fire Thunder Divine Sword, Nine Heavens Thunder Sword, Sword of Great Radiance, Demon Slaying Holy Sword … Very coincidentally, those were the sword moves you used. Saying this, This King needs to thank Speechless, who is also the Celestial King you know. Thank him for taking the trouble to report the names of the moves you used. Only then did This King know that the sword moves you used were identical to the sword moves that the little sword spirit subconsciously reported. This King was given a fright. You held Lucifer's Sword and used a sword move that the little sword spirit knows. Doesn't this mean that you, or the person you imitated from three thousand years ago, is the owner of Lucifer's Sword? Hence, This King made the connection to the contract between This King and Lucifer's Sword. The scene that flashed in This King's mind was the same as you. She had a head of resplendent blonde hair that resembled the first rays of dawn. This King immediately had an incredulous guess — could the woman in the scene be the owner of Lucifer's Sword? Could she be the great figure from three thousand years ago? "Lucifer's Sword's Sword's Sword Spirit's Sword Spirit's Sword Spirit's Sword Spirit's Sword Spirit? Could she be the great figure from three thousand years ago?"
"Such a guess is very preposterous because according to what This King knows, that great figure is a man. This is the common understanding of history and humans. Furthermore, the woman in the scene and the you who imitated that great figure, other than the resplendent blonde hair, have completely different looks. It's impossible for the two of you to be the same person."
"However, things like guesses are usually things that can't be stopped once they are produced. This King could not help but ponder over this illogical guess before coming up with a strange guess. This King thought that if the great figure from three thousand years ago was a woman disguised as a man, changing her looks and living her entire life without being discovered by anyone, then everything could be explained in a reasonable manner. He and she could then be superimposed into the same person."
"Forgive This King for being unable to control his desire to seek confirmation. Although this guess was very preposterous, This King still wanted to seize every opportunity to verify its authenticity. And it just so happened that you were in front of me. Hence, This King told a series of lies to seek confirmation — if you were a woman disguised as a man! That was the goal of This King's lies. "
When Shi Xiaobai said this, he said apologetically, "Sorry, This King's goal is very simple, but the method to achieve it is a little complicated. If it has troubled you, This King can only say 'sorry'. Just like how you held back your killing intent to get This King to answer your questions, This King similarly did some willful things in order to seek knowledge."
"Willful?"
A sneer suffused across Dawn's lips. "You can be willful, but I will not forgive you. You wasted a large amount of time to explain your goal, but you did not directly answer my questions. I believed it, believed that you said so many lies just to verify a guess that came to you on a whim. Then, shouldn't you be a little more serious and answer my questions? "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Isn't the answer you want to know very obvious? However, since you don't mind This King being long-winded, This King will answer them one by one. "
"Why does This King know the image of a woman in your heart? Actually, This King does not know, but This King used an assumption method. This King assumed that his guess was correct, then the image of the blonde girl in This King's mind would be your future image. Since you would dress up in such a manner in the future, then the image of the blonde girl should match your aesthetic standards. This is because aesthetic standards are not something that easily changes. This King was just changing the way he put it. If the image of a woman that matches one's aesthetic standards and vision were not strictly differentiated, you would subconsciously believe that This King had guessed your thoughts. This step was actually a gamble because the premise This King made was an assumption, but fortunately, This King made the right bet. "
"Why do you know the name of Lucifer's Sword? Although the little sword spirit claimed that she did not know anything about her previous owner, she could not withstand repeated inquiries from This King. She stammered and told This King the name of the sword. This information was already known by This King, but it was a reasonable use. "
"Why does This King have a replica of Lucifer's Sword? There's probably no need to answer this question. "
"Why was This King able to confidently say the fact that I was a woman disguised as a man? This point was actually done in passing. This King had used the first two pieces of information to make you have the illusion that 'the lie is close to the truth, but the biggest loophole has long been exposed'. You believed in the loophole, believing that as long as the loophole existed, then the lie This King said would definitely be false. At first glance, it might seem like you would not believe in This King's lies, but logic was not the case. It was because you believed in the existence of the loophole, so you reduced your doubts towards the other lies. If This King were to suddenly tell you at this moment that the loophole you knew was not a loophole, and that the greatest suspicion had been explained, the other suspicions that you had subconsciously ignored would naturally collapse like dominoes that had been toppled. This King was not certain if you were a woman disguised as a man, but since This King had used an assumption method, then everything that This King did had to be firm with the premise of his assumption. Therefore, This King confidently and confidently said the fact that you were a woman disguised as a man. Because the biggest loophole was the best evidence, and also the final method! "
"This is the truth of the lie. Are you satisfied?"
Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes like a naughty child.
