"Extraterrestrial? A product of a super civilization? "
The Infernal Queen said with a scoff, "If you want to talk about extraterrestrial, then to the Transcendental world of that time, humans were the true extraterrestrial! As for the land of trials, it is indeed a product of a super civilization to the present humans. But to the three Transcendental races of fifteen thousand years ago, it was only a matter of time before they used spatial powers to open up an alternate dimension and the nomological powers to create the assessment program. Back then, humans who were proficient in magic and battle Qi could easily do it. "However, the human world experienced three apocalyptic calamities in the fifteen thousand years after that. Each time, it was on the brink of extinction. Civilization constantly declined and a large number of battle Qi and magic systems were lost. They became completely ignorant of spatial and nomological powers. That was why they believed that the land of trials was a product of a super civilization left behind by extraterrestrial races! "The present humans are laughably weak compared to fifteen thousand years ago. If any of the three Transcendental races were to survive, it would be extremely easy for them to take back the Transcendental world!"
The three apocalyptic calamities had caused the decline of human civilization. It was a logic that could be easily understood, but was the civilization of fifteen thousand years ago that powerful? Even an unimaginable existence like the trial ground could be built by human effort? He originally believed that the human world was considered a world of high martial arts, but compared to fifteen thousand years ago, it was only 'low martial'?
However, the world of the seventh level had replicated the history of twenty thousand years ago. Was there such a huge difference from five thousand years ago?
Just as Shi Xiaobai's doubts arose, the Infernal Queen seemed to guess what was on Shi Xiaobai's mind. She said softly, "Darling, you must be thinking that since the world of the seventh level is the historical scene of the Transcendental world from twenty thousand years ago, how can there be such a huge difference in civilization of five thousand years? "But has Darling ever thought that this land of trials is targeted at the mortal realm? Oh, it is also the so-called Psionic Mortal Realm in the psionic cultivation system of yours. "Then, by replicating that piece of history, products of a super civilization like spatial powers and nomological powers would naturally not appear. If not, trial-takers would be crushed. Even Leonis and the other two kings would have their strength greatly reduced. Even the top warriors of the present human world do not have the strength to fight the true Leonis in history. "In short, the seventh level has only replicated the historical background. However, the power and civilization have been adjusted. Many things that mortals cannot come into contact with have been hidden or removed."
With the Infernal Queen's explanation, Shi Xiaobai finally understood. Regardless of whether the Infernal Queen's fabricated history was true, how could he, a mere Psionic Mortal Realm, defeat Leonis as the strongest warrior of his race? Moreover, there were indeed many suspicious points in the world of the seventh level. The power civilization should have indeed been downgraded.
However, it was impossible to determine how much of the Infernal Queen's words were true or false.
Shi Xiaobai was not foolish enough to completely believe the Infernal Queen's words. Any statement could be twisted into different forms depending on the subjective will of the speaker. Furthermore, the person who said it was the unpredictable Infernal Queen.
Shi Xiaobai did not ask any further and returned to the topic at hand. He said, "After saying so much, what is the choice?"
The Infernal Queen squinted her eyes and gave a coquettish smile. She still did not give a direct answer. Instead, she said with a chuckle, "Although the land of trials is not a product of a super civilization, a land of trials as intricate as the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was considered a huge project back then. The Transcendents failed to complete it even after three thousand years. Fifteen thousand years ago, when the humans invaded, they had only just 'renovated' the seventh level. Therefore, the eighth and ninth level's trials had not been completed. But when the humans forced the Transcendents to the former site of Transcendence, the Transcendent King used all his strength to throw the 'power of heritage' into the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower before his death. Therefore, the eighth and ninth levels were created. "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he vaguely guessed something.
The Infernal Queen did not leave him hanging this time. She said, "With Darling's intelligence, you should have guessed it. That's right, the Transcendent King's power of heritage is on the ninth level! And the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was originally used as a land of trials to temper the younger generation of the Transcendents. Because of the Transcendent King's power of heritage, there is only one goal now — to choose the Transcendent King's successor! "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he pricked up his eyebrows and said, "Since humans are the nemesis of annihilation, isn't it too contradictory to choose the Transcendent King's successor from the human trial-takers?"
The Infernal Queen nodded and said, "Indeed. The Transcendent King's original wish was to choose the final successor from a race other than humans, so as to allow the Transcendents' bloodline to continue. But other than humans, no other race has managed to pass the seventh level. And after the three apocalyptic calamities, other than the remnant bloodline of humans, the other races have gone extinct one after another. Therefore, the only way is to choose the successor from the human trial-takers. "
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly and said, "To choose the successor from the enemies of annihilation?"
The Infernal Queen said, "That's not an easy task. Because once one accepts the Transcendent King's heritage, the inheritor's bloodline will be replaced by the Transcendents' bloodline. Therefore, the first three human trial-takers that reached the seventh level rejected it."
Shi Xiaobai scoffed and said, "Probably no one is willing to become a green-skinned dwarf. Furthermore, with your personality, shouldn't you be trying your best to conceal the price and then use the heritage power to entice the trial-takers? "
"My husband really … understands me."
The Infernal Queen said with a coquettish smile, "If it's possible, I will definitely use flowery words to make trial-takers with sufficient talent thirst for the Transcendent King's heritage power. Unfortunately, the trial-taker has to accept the heritage power willingly. There can't be any resistance. Furthermore, during the heritage process, the body will mutate. If I were to conceal the truth and the inheritor were to resist due to shock, not only would the inheritor die on the spot, even the heritage power would vanish. That is not an outcome I wish to see. Therefore, I need to find a human with excellent talent that can reach the seventh level and is willing to inherit the Transcendents' bloodline."
Shi Xiaobai rolled his eyes. "With such stringent conditions, it's no wonder no one has succeeded after ten thousand years."
Shi Xiaobai did not believe that any genius that could reach the seventh level would want to become a 'monster' like a green-skinned dwarf.
"No, Darling, that's not right."
However, the Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "By accepting the Transcendent King's heritage power, one's strength will immediately rise to the top of the world. To a rookie at the Psionic Mortal Realm, such power is quite a temptation. At least, under my enticement, that ambitious person who wants to conquer the world hesitated for an hour before giving up!"
This was a disguised exchange. By paying the price of becoming a Transcendent, one could directly obtain unparalleled power. If a human's thirst for power reached an insane level, it was indeed possible for them to accept it. However, which one of the people that could reach the eighth level wasn't a peerless genius with a bright future? The possibility of doing so was just too low.
At the very least, it was impossible for Shi Xiaobai to be stupid enough to become a green-skinned dwarf monster for power.
Shi Xiaobai whispered, "You should know very well that This King will not agree to it."
The Infernal Queen said with a nod, "That's right. How can I not understand Darling's temper? Therefore, didn't I even skip the lines of 'promoting' the Transcendent King's heritage power? "
Shi Xiaobai gave the Infernal Queen a nonchalant glance and expressed his appreciation that the Infernal Queen was not stupid enough to do something unnecessary. He said, "If that's the case, why aren't you letting This King leave?"
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "The necessary procedures still need to be followed. After all, that is what the rules say. Furthermore, I have to hold onto a tiny sliver of hope. What if Darling suddenly agrees to it because of a brain spasm?"
The corner of Shi Xiaobai's mouth twitched as he said in a speechless manner, "Don't hold onto such impossible hopes. Since the procedures are done, let This King leave."
"There's still one last step to the procedures."
The Infernal Queen chuckled and suddenly said in a serious manner, "Shi Xiaobai, do you choose to clear the eighth level's trial or fail?"
This was the choice of the eighth level?
Shi Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief. The choice was not difficult at all. He looked seriously at the Infernal Queen and said in a serious manner, "This King chooses failure!"
"Ah!?"
The Infernal Queen's face suddenly suffused a look of pleasant surprise as she said loudly, "Darling, Darling, you actually chose to clear the level!? Ah! Did I hear wrongly? "
Shi Xiaobai was stunned as a dark cloud hung over his head. He said in a deep voice, "You have indeed heard wrong. This King has chosen failure."
"Really!?"
The Infernal Queen said in pleasant surprise, "I really didn't hear wrong? Darling actually chose to clear the level. Ah, I'm truly pleasantly surprised! "
Shi Xiaobai was astounded. He did not know what the Infernal Queen was up to but he immediately realized something as his expression changed drastically!
"You did it on purpose!?"
The Infernal Queen did not seem to hear Shi Xiaobai's voice as she said happily, "Great, my mission is finally over. I'll send Darling to the ninth level now!"
Just as the Infernal Queen's voice faded, a golden beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped Shi Xiaobai!
It was the golden beam of teleportation!
Shi Xiaobai's expression changed drastically. "How can you act on your own? This is against the rules!"
Heavens, how could the Infernal Queen ignore the rules of the eighth level?
Shi Xiaobai's mind was filled with questions as he was carried by the golden beam of light. With a whoosh, he was sent to the ninth level.
The Infernal Queen slowly wiped away her smile of 'feigning madness'. A sneer suffused across her lips as she muttered to herself.
"Rules or whatever did not exist from the beginning."
