"Is Shi Xiaobai the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity or is he the inheritor of the Fate Tree?"
The Infernal Queen's words were extremely shocking. When she suddenly spoke, it was as though she was sparring with experts. In the beginning, it was a casual probing, but when she suddenly used a killer move, she released all her internal energy, cutting off all means of retreat.
Kali's pupils constricted slightly as her composed expression changed slightly. However, she quickly calmed down. She knew that the Infernal Queen knew quite a bit, but she never expected to hear the two terms from the Infernal Queen's mouth.
The reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity!
The inheritor of the Fate Tree!
The former was a great demon king that could destroy the world, while the latter was a savior that had received the inheritance of the three holy trees like Kali, shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the world. To connect a Psionic Mortal Realm youth with these two key figures that could easily influence the world, it was definitely not as simple as a blind guess.
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is both a land of trials and an information cocoon. The Transcendents had originally planned on opening it to the hundred races so as to gather information. In this information cocoon, every word the trial-takers say in the land of trials will be recorded. Although I'm imprisoned in this boring prison, I have learned quite a bit of information about the outside world from the human trial-takers. It naturally includes the apocalypse that gives humans the greatest headache. However, there are countless theories regarding the Original Sin of Calamity and the seven avatars. They are all different, so I have no idea which version is correct. But if I'm not wrong, that tiny black-lit person is the legendary … Gluttony, right? "
Kali pursed her lips slightly but her expression remained unchanged. She remained silent.
The Infernal Queen continued, "Speaking of which, the reason why I made such a judgment is because of the word that appeared in the conversation between you and the tiny black-lit person — 'Greed'. Three thousand years ago, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign escaped into the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower with severe injuries. I wanted to banish it but it later took out a treasure that I could not refuse. Furthermore, it volunteered to replace the old and weak third level's Level Lord, signing an eternal slave contract with the trial's laws. "Therefore, I left it behind. But now, on careful thought, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's appearance coincides with the third apocalypse. Furthermore, it is greedy by nature. Together with you and the tiny black-lit person calling it 'Greed', I made a bold assumption that the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign is one of the seven avatars, the 'Original Sin of Greed'! "
The Infernal Queen seemed to want to prove that there was a theoretical basis for her guess and that it was not nonsense. Therefore, she explained in detail and patience.
She did not interrupt midway. She only looked at the Infernal Queen with a deadpan expression. She did not comment on the Infernal Queen's explanation, nor did she stop the Infernal Queen from continuing her analysis.
The Infernal Queen naturally did not stop there. She continued, "If the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign is the Original Sin of Greed, then from the conversation between the tiny black-lit person and you, it can be determined that the tiny black-lit person is one of the seven avatars. And the moment the tiny black-lit person came to the sixth level, it swallowed a vast ocean. Its characteristics are too obvious, and its identity is obvious. Without a doubt, it can only be … Gluttony!"
Kali sighed in her heart. The Infernal Queen was correct up to this point. There was no problem with her logical reasoning. As for the Infernal Queen's information, it basically came from her confrontation with the tiny black-lit person on the sixth level. Back then, all her thoughts were on Shi Xiaobai, so she had forgotten to block the Infernal Queen's eavesdropping 'ears'. The reason why the Infernal Queen could guess so much was because she had been negligent.
As though she sensed the slight change in Kali's eyes, the Infernal Queen's eyes turned brighter. She continued softly, "The tiny black-lit person is the Original Sin of Gluttony. On the surface, it sensed the aura of the Original Sin of Greed, so it infiltrated the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. But that doesn't make sense. To infiltrate the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, one needs to seal oneself to the Psionic Mortal Realm. It's an extremely dangerous action. Gluttony would not take such a huge risk just to find Greed. There must be something more important and urgent that forced it to take such an unwise action, such as … discovering the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity."
"However, out of Gluttony's expectations, you chased after it. You must have some sort of grudge with the Original Sin of Calamity, or perhaps you bear the responsibility of killing the Original Sin. Therefore, you did not hesitate to seal yourself to enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. "But when you entered the tower, you did not directly kill Gluttony. Instead, you suppressed it in the sea. I was very puzzled in the beginning, but later on, I realized that you were not here to pursue Gluttony, but to stop Gluttony. To stop it … from finding its king! "
"You were preventing Gluttony from approaching Shi Xiaobai. I could tell that, so I began to suspect Darling. Later on, Gluttony was desperate to kill Greed, who it had cursed as a traitor. Furthermore, it had a belittling attitude towards Darling. I nearly dispelled my suspicions … However, after Gluttony was vanquished by you, Darling's appetite suddenly increased greatly. Furthermore, he even viewed rocks as a delicacy. It was identical to the characteristics of 'Gluttony', so the truth was revealed."
"Why did the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign acknowledge Darling as its master? Why did Gluttony do something foolish to infuriate you despite knowing that it would die? Why did Darling suddenly have the additional characteristics of 'Gluttony' after Gluttony died? One answer can explain all the questions — it's because Darling is the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity! "
"Gluttony was unable to resist you and was afraid that Darling's identity as the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity would be exposed. Therefore, it cursed Greed as a traitor and pretended to belittle Darling. Furthermore, it infuriated you so as to seek death. All of this was to hide Darling's identity!"
"Did I say anything wrong?"
The Infernal Queen did not pause as she finished her lengthy explanation in one breath.
Kali had been maintaining her silence all this while. Only at that moment did she say softly, "There's a contradiction."
The Infernal Queen pricked up her eyebrows slightly. "What contradiction?"
Kali said calmly, "Let's say your hypothesis is correct. Since Gluttony had sought death to hide the identity of the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity, did it not expect that after its death, its avatar would return and its characteristics would appear, exposing the identity of the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity? There's a contradiction here. "
The Infernal Queen squinted her eyes and said, "I found it somewhat contradictory in the beginning, but there's no reason for Darling's' Gluttony 'characteristics to appear out of thin air. Other than the return of Gluttony, there's no other explanation. That's why I believe that even though the possibility is extremely low, Gluttony might have really overlooked this simple logic. It was focused on helping its husband hide his identity, but it didn't expect that after its death, its characteristics would return and expose its husband's identity. I believe that this is the only reasonable explanation. "
Kali said nonchalantly, "It's not the first time strange powers appearing out of thin air for Xiaobai. Although even I can't tell why he would suddenly have such strange powers, it's not impossible for him to obtain powers similar to the characteristics of 'Gluttony' out of thin air. Therefore, all of this is just a coincidence."
"Coincidence?"
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, "I have nothing to say if you would rather believe that Gluttony does not make any mistakes and believe that such an incredulous' coincidence 'is a coincidence. However, in fact, I am not a hundred percent certain of my deduction because there is indeed a huge contradiction in my deduction. "
Kali pricked up her eyebrows and asked, "What contradiction?"
The Infernal Queen looked deeply at Kali and said with a chuckle, "In my deduction, you should hate the Original Sin of Calamity or shoulder the responsibility of vanquishing it. However, you did not take any action after Darling's' Gluttony 'characteristics appeared. You are even silently protecting him like before. If you say that you are hopelessly in love, to the point of abandoning hatred and responsibility, I find it unbelievable. Therefore, I find it extremely contradictory. If Darling is really the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity, how do you view him? Why are you still protecting and defending him? I really can't figure it out. "
Kali fell silent and did not answer.
The Infernal Queen narrowed her eyes and said, "This contradiction makes me unable to be a hundred percent certain of my guess. The more I probe, the more suspicious I become. Therefore, just now, I had a second guess about Darling's identity. The second guess is — the inheritor of the Fate Tree!"

(PS: Yesterday's second update. It was supposed to be updated later, but it ended up being late by twelve hours. I'm guilty. I surrender myself! Everyone should know after reading it. This paragraph is really not easy to write! Furthermore, it makes me feel terrible writing it. But this is the conclusion and also the closing of the story. I have no choice but to write it. This plot will end in the next chapter and it will immediately enter Speechless's plot.)
