"Twenty thousand years ago, which is also the historical background of the seventh level's world!"
The Infernal Queen had not only pushed forward by seven thousand years, she had also silently transitioned the story to the second stage!
Now, she was finally about to narrate the true history of the seventh level's world!
Shi Xiaobai perked up slightly. If there was anything about the Infernal Queen's story that was worth his concern, it was undoubtedly the historical timeline of the seventh level's world's world. If not for the interference of trial-takers like them, what would have happened to Leonis, the gatekeeping gargantuan, Field Marshal Awesomo, the real Infernal King, Infernal Queen, and the Celestial King?
The Infernal Queen seemed to recall something as she suddenly chuckled and said, "Twenty thousand years ago, at a particular Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament, the Infernal King disguised himself as a Braveheart and came to Transcendence to participate in the tournament. In the end … the boat of peace capsized!"
This witty remark left Shi Xiaobai slightly taken aback. The Infernal King disguised himself as a Braveheart to participate in the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament? Why did the plot sound so familiar!?
Shi Xiaobai immediately felt a sense of anticipation for the story.
The Infernal Queen gave a sly smile and did not go straight to the topic. Instead, she asked, "Darling, you have lived in the Infernal domain for a period of time. I believe you would hear bone-chilling wails from every corner of the Infernal domain every dawn, right?"
Shi Xiaobai was also accustomed to the Infernal Queen's' wicked hobby 'of keeping people in suspense. He nodded helplessly. The wails at dawn were indeed bone-chilling. Furthermore, they filled every corner of the Infernal domain. It was as though every Infernal citizen was wailing tragically. At first, he thought that it was a cataclysm, but later on, he realized that it was a' daily life 'in the Infernal domain.
The Infernal Queen said, "This is the aftereffects of the infection. Every dawn, the Infernals would feel a burning pain all over their bodies. The pain would be so painful that they could not help but wail. Every time, it would last more than half an hour. Over the millennia, countless Infernals had committed suicide because they could not withstand the torture. In fact, the Celestials who were similarly infected also had similar aftereffects. However, the Celestials would feel the bone-chilling cold at dusk. It was equally painful. "
The infection was truly unprecedented. Not only did it create the Celestials and Infernals, it also made them suffer daily. What sort of infection could produce such exaggerated effects?
Shi Xiaobai was puzzled but he did not ask. However, he slowly opened his mouth, finally breaking his silence.
"What did the Demon King do at the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament?"
Shi Xiaobai was more concerned about this matter. Furthermore, from his point of view, this should be the 'main storyline' of the historical story. Yet, the Infernal Queen was repeatedly dragging on the 'side lines' to stall for time. It truly made him impatient.
"Husband, you're really impatient. That's right. It's only natural that you want to know if the Demon King you're 'playing' has done the same thing as you."
The Infernal Queen chuckled and said, "In history, the real Infernal King disguised himself as a Braveheart. Not only did he become the champion of the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament like Darling, he was even more ruthless than Darling. The Infernal King even killed Leonis in the finals!"
Shi Xiaobai was alarmed. The Infernal King killed Leonis? No wonder the boat of peace capsized so easily!
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "Back then, the Infernal King was influenced by the deep-rooted thinking of past Infernal Kings. He believed that the race of the Transcendents was still the strongest race in the world. Therefore, despite committing evil in the world, he did not dare to offend Transcendence. He believed that in his battle with the Transcendent King, Leonis, he would ultimately suffer a crushing defeat. However, he never expected that by that time, the Transcendence Holy Tree had already decayed due to the accumulated toxins. Leonis was only at the initial stages of using the Transcendental Fourth Transformation! The Infernal King did not know that Leonis was so weak, so he slipped up and accidentally killed Leonis! "
Because the Infernal King did not know that Leonis was too weak, he did not hold back and killed Leonis?
Pfft, so Leonis was that aggrieved in both the replicated history and the real history!
Shi Xiaobai could not help but chuckle. Indeed, although they were both stories, listening to an original historical story was completely different from listening to an adapted fanfiction.
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly stopped smiling. He had recovered quite a bit of his spirit.
After all, life was like that. Since there was no way to resist, why not just enjoy it?
The Infernal Queen was very pleased with Shi Xiaobai's reaction. She seemed to be more interested in the storytelling as a result. She continued, "The Infernal King's gains from infiltrating Transcendence was not only to kill Leonis and learn of the truth of the Transcendents' decline. Most importantly, when Transcendence ushered in a new dawn, the Infernal King felt a cooling sensation when he suffered the burning pain. The burning pain was greatly reduced and the time he endured was greatly shortened. The Infernal King realized that it was the Transcendence Holy Tree's protective powers!"
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he roughly guessed the subsequent developments. The truth of Transcendence's decline had been exposed, and the Transcendence Holy Tree could reduce the inhuman torment the Infernals suffered daily. The Infernal King was definitely coveting the Transcendence Holy Tree. Furthermore, the Infernal King was never a Infernal King that knew his place. If not, how could he do something like disguising himself as a Braveheart?
Indeed, the Infernal Queen described how after the Infernal King returned to the Infernal domain, he began deploying plans to attack Transcendence. Furthermore, the wise figures of the Infernals raised a guess — Could the infectious disease that changed the D 'ya clan be the aftereffects of them distancing themselves from the Transcendence Holy Tree?
The possibility was extremely high. Furthermore, it perfectly explained the strangeness of the infectious disease that created the Celestials and Infernals.
And as such, the Transcendence Holy Tree became even more popular. The Infernal domain prepared to attack Transcendence with all its might, so as to seize its territory and monopolize the Transcendence Holy Tree!
"However, the Infernal domain's ruling upper echelons were actually spies from the Celestial domain. As such, the Celestial domain also learned that the Transcendence Holy Tree could end the cold that had tormented the Celestials for millennia. The Celestial King immediately tore apart the treaty of seclusion and similarly sent troops to attack Transcendence!"
The Infernal Queen said, "Although the Infernals and the Celestials had a long-standing feud, under the immense temptation of the Transcendence Holy Tree, they decided to join forces to 'clean up' the Transcendents before discussing the division of Transcendence's territory. And back then, Leonis was killed and Transcendence was in chaos. How could it withstand the joint attack of the Celestials and Infernals? "But just as Transcendence was about to collapse, the Transcendence Holy Tree suddenly unleashed its divine might, bestowing the six Transcendents with greater strength, creating the Hexagram Bravehearts." And the Celestial King had turned traitor at the last moment because of the astounding strength the Infernal King and the Infernal domain had displayed. He joined forces with the Hexagram Bravehearts and killed the strongest Infernal King back then! "However, before the Infernal King died, he had used all his strength to severely injure the Celestial King, causing both the Celestials and Infernals to suffer great losses!"
The birth of the Hexagram Bravehearts and the Celestial King's betrayal allowed Transcendence, which was destined to be defeated, to come back from the dead. It also resulted in the regretful death of the strongest Infernal King. And this historical truth was also the reason why Shi Xiaobai, who was designated as the Infernal King in the seventh level, had to kill the Hexagram Bravehearts or the Celestial King to clear the level.
This was because only with the death of one of the two would the Infernal King's fate change.
But in true history, perhaps the strongest Infernal King had died in battle twenty thousand years ago!
"The Infernal King died in battle while the Celestial King was severely injured. He died a few days later as well! "At that moment, the Infernal King, Celestial King, and Leonis were all dead. The three races had lost their leaders! However, the war continued! "The Infernal Queen temporarily inherited the position of Infernal King while Field Marshal Awesomo became the Celestial King. As for Leonis's illegitimate son, the gatekeeping giant, he ascended to the throne and became the new Transcendent King! "The three races were irreconcilable due to the grudge of the three kings' deaths. There was also the constant conflict over the Transcendence Holy Tree. Due to the betrayal of the Celestial King, the three races did not join forces again. Instead, they formed a tripartite balance and began the long War of the Three Domains!"
After the Infernal Queen recounted the history, she suddenly let out a long sigh. "The war continued on for more than five thousand years. The factions of the Three Realms kept each other at bay, with no one able to obtain the final victory. The war seemed to continue on without end … If only the war could continue on like that. Unfortunately, fifteen thousand years ago, the War of the Three Realms suddenly came to a halt!"
Shi Xiaobai was slightly alarmed. Another five thousand years had been skipped? From the looks of it, the Infernal Queen was sincere in recounting the historical story and was not deliberately making things difficult for him? Furthermore, why did the Infernal Queen say the words' if only the war could continue on like that '? Why did she have such a sorrowful expression?
"What happened?"
Shi Xiaobai finally could not help but fulfill his' duty 'as a listener. He responded to the speaker's words, letting the speaker know that he was listening and thinking. This was the greatest respect a listener could give the speaker.
The Infernal Queen's mood seemed to turn for the better as a faint smile suffused across her lips. However, she quickly sighed and whispered, "Fifteen thousand years ago, three towering trees descended! They were identical to the Transcendence Holy Tree. No one knew how these three towering trees appeared. They appeared in the Transcendental World overnight. Furthermore, the three towering trees were separated from each other in a triangular formation! "
This shocking turn of events left Shi Xiaobai slightly alarmed as he asked, "Another three Transcendence Holy Trees?"
Could it be that the heavens did not wish for the war to continue, so they had sent down three Transcendence Holy Trees. Furthermore, they were placed extremely far away so that the three races could have one each, ending the suffering of the war?
But if that was the case, why did the Infernal Queen have such a 'sorrowful' expression, as though she was a character in the story, feeling 'sorrowful' because of the appearance of the three holy trees?
The matter was probably not that simple.
Indeed, the Infernal Queen shook her head and said with a sigh, "It's not the Transcendence Holy Tree. The three holy trees that descended once again looked completely different. They were completely different from the Transcendence Holy Tree. Be it the color or shape of the leaves, the thickness of the tree trunk or the density of the tree crown, they were all different! These three holy trees had 'names' engraved on their trunks like the Transcendence Holy Tree. However, the words were not written in the Transcendental World's language. No one knew what the three holy trees were called! However, when the three holy trees descended into the Transcendental World, the Transcendence Holy Tree seemed to have all its nutrients taken away. It rapidly withered and in just three days, all its leaves fell. Ten days later, it shriveled and collapsed, forming an abyssal hole. The abyssal hole seemed to lead to hell, resulting in the fall of the Transcendence Holy Tree! "
Shi Xiaobai drew a cold gasp. The three unknown holy trees had stolen the Transcendence Holy Tree's' nutrients'. Were they really unfriendly?
However, the Infernal Queen shook her head and said, "In the beginning, the three races believed that the three holy trees were evil trees. But later on, when they attempted to approach them, they realized that the three holy trees similarly possessed mystical powers. By staying around the three holy trees, not only did the pain of the Celestials and Infernals weaken, it even disappeared! "Back then, the three races were like rain after a long drought. The entire world was filled with a festive atmosphere. They viewed the three holy trees as the rebirth of the Transcendence Holy Tree. And as the three holy trees were extremely far apart, each of the three races could only occupy one." Hence, the three races ended the five-thousand-year-long War of the Three Domains and signed a peace treaty. The Transcendental, Celestial, and Infernal realms welcomed the most beautiful peace fifteen thousand years ago! "
As she spoke of the beautiful peace, the Infernal Queen did not smile at all. She sighed deeply and whispered, "But, that beautiful peace was just too short …"
Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask, "What happened?"
What unforeseen event could happen in such a peaceful situation that made the Infernal Queen reveal such a 'sorrowful' expression?
Shi Xiaobai finally immersed himself in the role of a listener. He began to care about the direction of the story. With the story having progressed to this point, he had a nagging feeling that something was about to appear.
The Infernal Queen fell silent for a long while before she slowly said, "The citizens of the three races did not know that the words engraved on the three holy trees actually came from a race known as humans. The three holy trees were named — World, Time, and Fate. What the people of the three clans did not know was that the peace they mistakenly thought had only lasted for a short period of a month. A month after the three holy trees appeared, a huge hole suddenly appeared on the trunk of the holy trees! Alien races that came from other universes surged into the Transcendental World from the tree hole like locusts or a tidal wave! "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, his eyes widened. He had an ominous feeling as he said, "Could it be …"
"That's right."
The Infernal Queen's eyes turned cold as a sneer suffused across her lips. She said, "Fifteen thousand years ago, humans invaded!"
Shi Xiaobai gave a wry smile.
He finally knew what was coming.
After the Infernal Queen had done the foreplay, the climax of the story that she had painstakingly prepared had finally arrived.
