Absolute Choice - Chapter 521

"It was rather interesting chatting with you."

In the snow-white desolate plains, light and darkness bloomed. A black gothic-style dress suddenly appeared. It was unknown if the purple-haired beauty came from the light or the darkness.

The Infernal Queen chuckled and said, "I also found it interesting."

Their so-called chat was divided into two parts. The first part was to expose the conspiracy while the second part was a discussion on 'chastity'. They were mostly at odds with each other but it was a rather 'interesting' matter to the two of them.

It was none other than the fact that arguments and debates were things that only people on the same level or similar levels could do. Be it Kali or the Infernal Queen, there was just too few people like that. It was so few that they were accustomed to loneliness.

The Infernal Queen was especially like so. Ever since she gained sentience, it could be said that the world she was in contact with was huge. There were nine levels but it could be as small as one could describe. It was only a tiny piece of land, a bunch of dead objects.

Every month, there would be living people coming—a batch of rookies at the Psionic Mortal Realm. Although there was no lack of geniuses, as an amalgamation of programs, she definitely had knowledge of the Transcendental World's history. The geniuses she knew of the three races of the Transcendental World were much more monstrous. After being accustomed to seeing billionaires, she naturally wouldn't be amazed by a few millionaires.

Over the millennia, there was no lack of experts at the Psionic Imperial Realm that attempted to break the spatial walls of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower to see what secrets lay hidden in the eighth and ninth levels. However, those that could truly penetrate the spatial storms and enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower without her being capable of ousting only numbered two.

One of them was a figure from millennia ago while the other was Kali.

The former had only entered to retrieve an item he had left behind in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower in his youth before hurriedly leaving.

As for the latter, she had refused to leave unabashedly because of a boy.

The Infernal Queen had used this point despite being full of fear and respect for Kali.

Even though she did not mind or was even very willing to become friends with Kali.

However…

"However, you made six mistakes."

Kali sighed as the look in her eye revealed a wistful look.

The Infernal Queen let out an unperturbed smile. "Only six? Did I overcount or did you make a mistake?"

Kali shook her head. "I only counted the unforgivable mistakes. As for you, you did a total of six of them."

The Infernal Queen pricked her brows up. "Unforgivable mistakes? Can you tell me which are the six?"

Kali hesitated for a moment before speaking. "First, you used the God Slaughtering Formation on Xiaobai, forcing him to use the power of corruption, 'evil seed of fury."

The Infernal Queen said with a nod, "I had indeed gone overboard on this matter. I have nothing to say about it. Then, what's the second one?"

Kali glanced at the Infernal Queen with a deadpan expression and said, "Second, you used the forbidden authority of 'forceful expulsion' on Dawn Li, causing Xiaobai to nearly undergo a second corruption."

"Dawn Li?"

The Infernal Queen frowned slightly, "I have some impression of this name. It seems like it's the name of that Hero King from three thousand years ago? What has this got to do with Shi Xiaobai? And when did I use the 'forceful expulsion' on Dawn Li?"

Kali puckered her lips and said, "That happened before the world lines changed. It's understandable that you do not remember it. However, not remembering it doesn't mean that it never happened. It was not simple for the Time Tree to expend its energy to make two different times on the same world line cross. Yet, you had destroyed it. The effects of this mistake far exceed your imagination."

The Infernal Queen's expression changed slightly, "Legends say that the World, Time and Fate holy trees were destroyed by the Original Sin of Calamity ten thousand years ago and they had only left behind their heritage. According to what you are saying, I have unknowingly foiled the things the inheritor of Time wanted to do?"

Kali hesitated for a moment before she said with a nod, "Not exactly correct but you can understand it that way."

The Infernal Queen chuckled. "The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was created by the Transcendents so I can barely be considered a member of the Transcendents. To unknowingly foil the plans of the inheritor of Time means it is heaven's will. It's my good luck."

Kali said with a deep voice, "But to me, it is unforgivable."

The Infernal Queen wiped the smile off her face and said, "Alright, what about the third?"

Kali sighed and said, "Third, on the matter of Speechless Li, even if you couldn't tell the truth, you should know that it had nothing to do with Xiaobai. However, you exposed the matter and even deliberately made Xiaobai think that he had accidentally killed Speechless Li himself."

The Infernal Queen chuckled to herself and said, "I just didn't want the blame to be pushed to Darling and for him to still be left in the dark."

Kali narrowed her eye slightly, "You only wanted to watch a good show."

The Infernal Queen blinked. "I don't even know if I have the chance to watch it. After all…freedom or annihilation is a choice that belongs to you. I have no right at making the choice."

Kali fell silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "Fourth, you twisted the historical truth. Although Xiaobai might not have believed you, you had distorted the facts, changing the history of the Transcendental era and the human era. It makes me who knows the truth extremely angry."

The Infernal Queen grinned and said, "Who can clearly state what's the truth in history? Based on the different opinions of historians, the same history can have countless forms of explanations. I only narrated the history as depicted by the Transcendents. If it's very different from the truth you know, it's not my fault but the fault of the historian."

"You are resorting to sophistry."

Kali continued with a sneer. "What you are talking about is clearly not history but a masturbatory novel written by a Transcendent racist."

The Infernal Queen blinked and said with a 'pitiful' look, "I'm innocent."

Kali shook her head and did not pursue the matter. Instead, she squinted her eye and said, "Fifth, you told Xiaobai a lie filled with malicious intentions at the end. It is impossible for human and Transcendence bloodlines to 'coexist'. There is only 'replacement' and 'submission'."

The Infernal Queen lamented, "I'm innocent! I only spoke of things I think is the truth. How can you call it a lie? Indeed, there only exists the two possibilities of 'replacement' and 'submission' but the Transcendence heritage had failed. There is no chance of the Transcendence bloodline 'replacing' the human bloodline."

"According to what I know, the Transcendence bloodline is superior to human bloodlines. It is impossible for it to 'submit' to human bloodlines. Therefore, neither 'replacement' or 'submission' was possible. However, Darling had managed to maintain his human bloodline and merge the Transcendence bloodline. Other than 'coexistence', there is no other possibility. I only spoke of the guess in my heart."

A sneer suffused on Kali's lips, "Why is there a need to feign dumbness?"

"I truly did not lie because I couldn't think of any other possibility."

As the Infernal Queen said that, she suddenly exclaimed as though she was suddenly enlightened. She said loudly, "Ah, right! There's another possibility! How could it take me so long to think of it! If Darling's bloodline isn't of human stock but he has a bloodline that is superior to the Transcendence bloodline, then it's possible for it to be 'submission'!"

Kali watched the Infernal Queen's clumsy performance in a deadpan manner. She said coldly, "Although you had committed six unforgivable mistakes, you have betrayed the Transcendents by 'giving' Xiaobai the Transcendence Holy Tree's heritage as a way of redeeming yourself so I had not taken action. Instead, I gave you a chance to 'defend' yourself. But it seems like there's no need for that."

The Infernal Queen's expression changed slightly as she smiled dryly, "It's not that I do not want to be honest but there are things I do not dare say aloud. I have indeed noticed that Darling isn't any ordinary person and that he might not be of human stock."

"That's because the human bloodline cannot withstand the Transcendent King's heritage so easily. According to some information, I had also roughly guessed of Darling's 'true identity'. However, I did not dare say it aloud, so I can only feign dumbness."

Kali pricked her brows up and asked, "Why not?"

The Infernal Queen said with a laugh, "I'm afraid you would be angry after I said it out."

Kali squinted her eye. "Feigning dumbness and acting is more infuriating."

The Infernal Queen lowered her head slightly. "Then, shall I speak without any reservations?"

Kali nodded. "Go ahead."

A cunning smile flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes as she suddenly lifted her head. Her eyes were bright like the stars as she asked in a soft voice, "Is Shi Xiaobai the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity or the inheritor of the Fate Tree?"
