Chapter 383: This King is immune to poison
Leonis summoned Shi Xiaobai and company to his chamber and engaged in a tirade that seemed like he was blaming Shi Xiaobai for secretly eating the holy tree’s fruit, but in fact, the truth could easily be guessed. Leonis wanted Shi Xiaobai to head to the Infernal domain to kill the Infernal King.
Although it was unknown what benefits Leonis would gain if the Infernal King was killed, it was not something that mattered to Shi Xiaobai.
On the contrary, he was rather grateful to Leonis for giving him some idea what was the puzzling “King’s Mandate” that the Absolute Choice had referred to.
Although ending the Age of Bravehearts and the King’s Mandate both pointed to ‘killing the Infernal King’, resulting in a contradiction, heading to the Infernal domain to kill the Infernal King was still the best choice.
Shi Xiaobai and company did not stay for long. After leaving King Leonis’s palace, they prepared to leave Transcendence, and journeyed together to the Infernal domain.
It could be said that Shi Xiaobai left in a glorious fashion. Along the way, several Transcendents watched from afar, eyes filled with an ephemeral awe.
However, when they reached the city gate, the gargantuan that guarded the city remained arrogant. Shi Xiaobai could still sense the strong animosity and killing intent from the gargantuan.
After Shi Xiaobai and company walked out the city gate, the gargantuan peeked his head out from inside the city gate and said coldly, “The race of the Transcendents is the strongest race. You will soon realize this point.”
Shi Xiaobai’s eyebrows pricked up slightly. The gargantuan’s sentence sounded like a downtrodden dog’s crazy barking, but it sounded premonitory as though there was some special meaning behind it. This was because the gargantuan said the sentence filled with confidence and ruthlessness.
Was he so foolish that he could not extricate himself from the superiority of the Transcendents, therefore just lying to himself?
Or did the gargantuan hide a particular secret?
Shi Xiaobai smiled slightly and did not respond. He turned around and left the gargantuan the sight of his back, as though he didn’t care.
He did not believe that the race of the Transcendents was the strongest race in the world. Similarly, he did not believe that humans were that much mighty and glorious. As for how all races were equal in the world, Shi Xiaobai was not naive enough to believe that it could truly be attained.
However, there was one thing for certain. Lives were equal. Regardless if life ended up in eventual lowliness or prominence, or how the present made it dirty like a beggar’s life, or noble like an aristocrat, there was no life that should be treated with contempt. There was also no life that immediately was above others the moment they were born.
The Transcendents did have a natural advantage at birth, but how could a lowly Transcendent beggar that was awaiting death be on a higher status than a Braveheart from other races?
