"Where are the others?"
Shi Xiaobai forced himself to change the topic. It was enough for him to experience his troubles and pain himself.
However, for some unknown reason, no one answered his casual question.
Shi Xiaobai was surprised as he realized that Pulp Farmer and Feng Yuanlin had suddenly lowered their heads to avoid his gaze. Sunless remained expressionless as she maintained her silence.
What was going on?
"Could something have happened?"
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly and suddenly said with a laugh, "Why aren't you answering? Could it be that the others have obtained the assessment program's recognition and cleared the eighth level? "
"Boss Shi Xiaobai, they …" Feng Yuanlin turned flustered when he was questioned. Just as he was about to speak, Pulp Farmer beat him to it.
"Shi Xiaobai, you indeed did not read up on the relevant information before entering the tower. There is only one person who can obtain the assessment program's recognition on the seventh level. If a trial-taker obtains the assessment program's recognition and clears the eighth level, the other trial-takers will be forcefully removed from the tower of trials. This is common knowledge. Since we are still in the Infernal Palace, it's natural that no one has cleared the seventh level's trial. "Pulp Farmer glanced at Feng Yuanlin, who was just short of having 'panic and guilt' written on his face, as he said slowly.
Upon receiving Pulp Farmer's' gaze ', Feng Yuanlin finally realized that they were' shouldering 'the heavy responsibility of hiding the cruel truth from Boss Shi Xiaobai. He hurriedly pretended to be calm and echoed, "Ha … Ha, Boss Shi Xiaobai sure knows how to joke. How can it be that easy to obtain the assessment program's recognition? It's not an exaggeration to say that it's' difficult to ascend to heaven '. After all, in history, only Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai, and the Conquest King have cleared it."
Feng Yuanlin was only echoing Pulp Farmer's words in passing, but his unintentional words made Shi Xiaobai stare with widened eyes.
Only Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai, and the Conquest King?
"Only those three?"
Shi Xiaobai asked in surprise.
When Feng Yuanlin saw Shi Xiaobai look at him, his hands trembled in nervousness. Heavens, he was worst at lying. What was he to do?
Pulp Farmer rolled his eyes and felt a headache. Shi Xiaobai had only casually asked an unrelated question, but Feng Yuanlin had revealed such a guilty expression like a criminal being interrogated. If this carried on, Shi Xiaobai would probably notice something amiss with Feng Yuanlin.
When Pulp Farmer thought of this, he hurriedly interjected, "The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is a famous land of trials with high difficulty. The seventh level's clearance requirement is as difficult as ascending the heavens for trial-takers at the Psionic Mortal Realm. According to historical records, the only humans who have cleared the seventh level since the tower's construction are Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai, and the Conquest King. These three people are famous figures in history. It's evident how valuable the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is. Although the few of us are known as the 'Supernovas of China', we are still far from clearing the seventh level. Only a monster like you and … Speechless has a chance. "
When the words' Speechless' came out of his mouth, Pulp Farmer's expression could not help but stiffen. Feng Yuanlin turned his head in panic. Even the look in Sunless' eyes changed slightly. The Infernal Queen, who was lying on the sofa, revealed a teasing smile.
The atmosphere turned somewhat odd at that moment.
However, Shi Xiaobai did not notice any abnormalities because his mind was not on it. Due to Feng Yuanlin's unintentional change of topic and Pulp Farmer's deliberate concealment and detailed explanation, his thoughts were constantly filled with questions.
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and asked softly, "What about the fourth story? If This King doesn't remember wrongly, the Hero King had once instigated the war between the three realms and killed three kings alone. He obtained the assessment program's recognition and created the most interesting fourth story, right? "
Wasn't this story told to This King by all of you?
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly.
"Hero King?"
Pulp Farmer frowned as well.
"Indeed, the Hero King is the person with the highest chance of obtaining the assessment program's recognition in the past three thousand years. His talent and strength are in no way inferior to Ji Feng, Xu Taibai, and the Conquest King. He might even be slightly stronger than them, but surprisingly, the Hero King stopped at the seventh level. No one knows what happened to the Hero King in the seventh level. It remains an unsolved mystery to this day."
Pulp Farmer sighed as his eyes had a look of regret.
Shi Xiaobai gaped slightly, but he did not inquire further. He lowered his head and began pondering with a frown.
What Pulp Farmer said was very precise. Sunless, Feng Yuanlin, and company did not refute him. This meant that Pulp Farmer was not lying. Furthermore, they had recently told him the story of the Hero King killing three kings. How could he tell such a lie that could be easily exposed?
However, his memories were not messed up. Shi Xiaobai clearly remembered that Speechless had once mentioned that the Hero King's story was the most famous story in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower back in the Silent Desolate Lands. Speechless' participation in the selection was to imitate this legendary story. Back in the Infernal King's palace, Liu Yu, Pulp Farmer, and Feng Yuanlin had told him the story of the Hero King stealing the sacred artifact of the three realms, instigating the war between the three realms, and finally killing three kings alone.
All of these memories were clear and real.
Then, why did it become like this?
Why did Pulp Farmer's words have such a huge contradiction?
Shi Xiaobai was not foolish enough to believe that Pulp Farmer, Sunless, and Feng Yuanlin had joined forces to deceive him. There had to be a reason for such a strange matter.
In fact, he had already thought of two possibilities.
Firstly, his memories had been tampered with.
Secondly, the memories of others had been tampered with.
If it was the former, there was no need for him to continue making inferences. However, this possibility was the highest.
But if it was the latter, the complexity of the matter was beyond imagination.
The former was more reasonable than the latter.
However, Shi Xiaobai hoped that the answer was the latter. His ideal answer was — the vanished Hero King was real. She had transmigrated three thousand years ago, and due to the changes she experienced, she had changed history. As such, the memories of others regarding that period of history had been tampered with!
It was as if someone had used a time machine to transmigrate into the past, changing a particular matter in the past, causing the world line to change. The future of the same world line would also change accordingly.
If the Dawn Li he met was real, and she had transmigrated from three thousand years ago to the present, then what happened now would change history. Then, wouldn't the memories of others regarding that period of history be changed as well?
Of course, this theory was the complete opposite of 'returning from the future to the past to change the future'. It was a completely reversed theory. It was an unreasonable deduction of 'returning from the past to the future but changing the past'.
Furthermore, with the change in history, the memories of others had been tampered with, but why did his memories remain unchanged? This was a point of suspicion that could not be easily skipped.
Therefore, although Shi Xiaobai hoped that it was the latter, he could not think of a reasonable theory to support it.
The only excuse was probably — space-time transmigration was an unreasonable matter, so why must it be reasonable?
Shi Xiaobai, who had transmigrated from Earth to this alternate world, did not believe that everything needed to be reasonable.
Occasionally, he would willfully believe in unreasonable but reasonable guesses. It was also necessary.
Shi Xiaobai's thoughts were in a mess, but they eventually converged in the same direction. It was an outcome he wanted to believe in — The girl he liked was not a replica created by a program, but a 'wonder' who had transmigrated from the past to the present. She had then changed the past. She had disappeared from this place and had only returned to the world three thousand years ago.
Although they were separated by three thousand years and the distance between them was still insurmountable, at least they were real. At least they were living on the same world line.
That was good.
The corners of Shi Xiaobai's mouth suffused a smile.
Even if they were separated by three thousand years of time.
At least they had once thought of each other in the same world.
That was very good.
