When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 620 - 258 Pig Farm

Jing Li and the two others were sitting on the stone steps resting when they suddenly saw a few people coming from inside the city.

After clearly seeing the appearance of those people, Jing Li and Sha Chu stood up and stared at the person leading them.

The person in the lead was Li Changyin, followed by Bai Wanli and several other members of the Li Family. Among them was one person from the Li Family, the Light Base Trial Taker Li Changmian, Li Changyin’s younger brother who participated in this year’s tournament.

"You are indeed here." Li Changyin glanced at them, not concerned about their presence.

Even for Jing Li, who had already condensed the Light Vein, he was of no consequence in Li Changyin’s eyes.

Before Jing Li and the others could speak, Li Changyin noticed Li Xiu walking out from the city gate tower, standing on the wall looking at him.

"Where is Elder Dao?" Li Changyin frowned slightly.

He thought Elder Dao should have already dealt with Li Xiu, but now it seemed Li Xiu was fine, indicating something was amiss.

"Patriarch Li." Elder Dao’s voice came from inside the city gate tower.

"Elder Dao, why is Li Xiu still alive?" Li Changmian coldly questioned the tower.

Elder Dao’s laughter came from inside: "Li Xiu is my friend, of course he lives."

"Well, since Elder Dao values friendship, we won’t trouble you. We will handle our own matters." Li Changmian said and started walking towards Li Xiu.

Clang!

The Blade Demon flew out from the city gate tower, landing in Weng City, blocking Li Changmian’s path. The intense light waves forced Li Changmian to step back several paces before steadying himself.

"Elder Dao, what do you mean?" Li Changmian asked coldly.

"Patriarch Li, please leave." Elder Dao simply said, ignoring Li Changmian.

Li Changmian was furious, just about to say something, but was stopped by Li Changyin.

"Elder Dao, farewell." Li Changyin took a deep look at the city gate tower, then turned and left with the others.

"Brother, why let Li Xiu go? Even if Elder Dao protects him, so what? You have his Blood Seal Stone; no need to fear him overturning heaven?" Li Changmian questioned after leaving Weng City.

"Elder Dao is dying." Li Changyin said casually.

"Dying?" Everyone was shocked.

"He used humans to cultivate the Blade Demon, which reached fruition, but his life is gone." Li Changyin explained.

"Isn’t that more convenient, saving even the Blood Seal Stone?" Li Changmian was more puzzled.

"He is different from us. We die, and our Symbiotic Contract perishes too. Elder Dao dies, yet his blade remains, inheriting his will. To kill Li Xiu, one must consider if they can withstand that Blade Demon first." Li Changyin said.

"Really such a thing?" Li Changmian couldn’t believe it.

Li Changyin sighed: "A generation’s Blade Demon, probably gone forever. With the Blade Demon guarding the Gate of Destiny, unless some Heaven-Defying Demon Spirit breaks through, the gate is effectively sealed, which is good for us, Heaven-Rulers. Unexpectedly, Li Xiu has such a relationship with Elder Dao, no wonder he escaped into the Gate. He cannot be killed here."

"This Li Xiu is indeed strange; he just entered the Heaven-Rulers not long ago, yet has sworn brotherhood with Uncle Ba and Wan Chaocun, and now such a bond with Elder Dao—it’s peculiar." Li Changmian said gloomily.

"No matter, he must leave the Gate of Destiny sooner or later. It won’t be too late to kill him then. Let’s return; Elder Dao’s matter needs to be reported to the President, who probably anticipated this outcome and thus had Elder Dao guard the Gate of Destiny." Li Changyin said indifferently.

They left the Gate of Destiny, following the original path back.

After Li Changyin and the others left, Li Xiu walked back into Jade Tower to see Elder Dao sitting on the ground, his hand clutching the tobacco pipe drooped, his breaths more outgoing than incoming, barely able to keep his eyes open, seeming near death.

Li Xiu approached Elder Dao, examined him carefully for a moment, then suddenly summoned two Forbidden Spears and fired twice at Elder Dao.

One bullet struck Elder Dao’s heart, another his abdomen.

Afterward, Li Xiu put away the gun and extended a finger, pointing at Elder Dao’s forehead, as transparent light, like a lamp flame, seeped into Elder Dao’s forehead.

Elder Dao used humans to nurture the blade, but couldn’t condense a Light Vein, while the Blade Demon had surpassed the Light Base.

The contract strong but the person weak, coupled with old injuries inside his body, unable to bear the energy brought by the Blade Demon, causing his body to deteriorate further.

Were it not for the President of the Heaven-Rulers using something to temporarily seal Elder Dao’s old wounds, Elder Dao would’ve long been unable to wield the Blade Demon, like last time at the Golden Gate, where Elder Dao used the Blade Demon’s Super Spirit, only to be hurt by its power.

Ultimately, all this stemmed from Elder Dao himself being too weak, even without this battle with the Evil Ghost, being overwhelmed by the blade was only a matter of time.

Li Xiu intended to use the Light Planting Technique to establish a Light Foundation within Elder Dao’s body, allowing him to condense a Light Vein. Once the Light Vein forms, his capacity to endure Light Energy increases, resolving the Blade Demon’s hidden dangers.

But whether it can succeed, even Li Xiu is not entirely sure, needing to try to know.

Elder Dao’s body is now very frail, with old wounds and on the verge of being drained by the Blade Demon. Li Xiu first used two Undying Bullets to heal Elder Dao’s injuries, stabilizing his body before daring to kindle a light for him. Whether Elder Dao can endure until the light succeeds depends on his fate.
