Chapter 392: In order to not be bored

The Hero King stole the Celestial King’s Celestial Jade, giving it to the Infernal King, and then he stole the Infernal King’s Infernal Sword, giving it to Leonis. After that, he pretended to be a Celestial and destroyed half of the Transcendence Holy Tree, causing the Celestials to hate the Infernals, the Infernals to hate the Transcendents, and the Transcendents to hate the Celestials. It instigated the first three-realm war in history!

It was not an easy task to do the three things simultaneously. The Celestial Jade and the Infernal Sword were the most precious treasures of the Celestial King and Infernal King respectively, so it was obvious how high the security around the two items was. It was not easy at all to steal them from their respective kings’ hands.

And destroying the Transcendence Holy Tree was something unbelievable. After all, the holy tree was termed the guardian holy tree of Transcendence. Legends said that the tree had a sacred spirit in it. Trying to destroy it, even if it was just a portion of it, was unfathomably difficult.

However, the Hero King had managed to do it all, in just three days.

It was truly something admirable which was understandable that the feat would gain the assessment program’s approval, but why did he do so?

Why did he use such a ‘despicable’ method to instigate a three-realm war that was destined to cause death and destruction?

The matter was definitely not simple. The Hero King definitely had his reasons for doing so—a reason which fitted his bearing as a ‘Hero’.

Just like how Shi Xiaobai destroyed fifteen cities in the second level, he was originally accused as a City Destroyer Villain, but his final goal was to quickly gather all the rookies in one city before launching a counteroffensive on the Demon City. He used the actions of a ‘villain’ to complete the feat of a ‘hero’. This resulted in him finally receiving the cheers of being a “City Destroyer Hero”.

The deeds of a man, who had the title ‘Hero King’, ought to conform to the word ‘hero’!

This was what Shi Xiaobai believed so he said with great affirmation, “The story hasn’t ended.”

Liu Yu’s answer was—”The story has only just begun.”

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes immediately lit up slightly as he quietly waited for Liu Yu to continue his story.

“The Celestials had isolated themselves from the world, and did not participate in the conflict between the mortal world and the Infernal domain, but in fact, it serves as a balancing weight between all three factions. The reason why the Infernal King does not dare to rashly attack the mortal realm, and the reason why the mortals use Bravehearts to challenge the Infernal King as a means of defeating him instead of forming an army is because of the existence of the Celestial domain. The Infernal domain and the mortal realm are both afraid that the Celestial domain would benefit from their internecine struggle, so they did not dare to risk beginning a full-out war. And what the Hero King did completely disrupted the delicate balance of the three factions!”

Liu Yu said without any haste, “Once upon a time, the war that broke out between the three races—three most powerful factions—was obviously brutal. Nearly all life was snubbed out, and the war was a massacre. The flames of war that raged and the battlefield where it was in its most intense state was originally a green and lush plain. In less than a year after the war, it turned into a desolate and barren desert, which is the area we know as the Silent Desolate Lands that is situated in between the Infernal domain and Transcendence. However, the new war that should have been called a nightmare only lasted for three days before coming to an end. Benefactor Shi Xiaobai, can you guess what happened?”

Upon hearing Liu Yu’s question, Shi Xiaobai pricked his eyebrows up slightly and could not help but ponder.

A three-sided war was different from a battle between two sides. If one side was overwhelmingly strong, it was possible to still call it a country after three days, and it could even cause a race to unconditionally surrender. However, a three-sided war would definitely begin with a probing period, as well as an awkward situation where each party held back the other, so how could it end in three short days?

Was it because the three kings realized how tragic war was? So they ended the war through peaceful negotiations?

Or could it be that the three kings realized something was amiss, and that the Hero King had ‘despicably’ sown discord?

As Shi Xiaobai was pondering, a voice suddenly shouted out.

“It’s because the Hero King killed the Celestial King, the Infernal King and King Leonis!”
