When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 662 - 272: Do you want to drink?

"If the Godslayer Shrine wants to kill me so badly, if it really was the Cloaked Man who destroyed the City of Love, then he could have pulled me into the City of Love to kill me directly before. Why go through so much trouble?" Li Xiu felt something was not right.

Li Xiu felt that the Godslayer Shrine was merely a portal, capable of pulling him into either the Black Death City or the City of Love.

In the past, the Godslayer Shrine only pulled him into Black Death City, never into the City of Love.

This time pulling him into the City of Love shouldn’t have been the true intention of the Godslayer Shrine; it seemed to be an unconscious act brought on by drunkenness.

Thinking about the people in the City of Love, Li Xiu’s heart felt a bit heavy.

Even though they were from the Demon Kingdom and not Earth’s humans, seeing so many kind people slaughtered while being powerless to do anything was still a stifling pain.

"I must quickly level up." Looking at the still-sleeping Godslayer Shrine, Li Xiu couldn’t determine its relationship with the Cloaked Man.

The shrine had the inscription ’God of Slaughter’, and so did the tombstone of the Cloaked Man. To say they were unrelated, Li Xiu couldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

After taking a cold shower, Li Xiu still felt uncomfortable; he disliked the feeling of powerlessness.

Recalling the appearance and eyes of Bu’Er after her death, Li Xiu’s heartstrings couldn’t help but tremble.

"Once I level up, I must return to that City of Love. Hopefully, the Cloaked Man will still be there by then." Li Xiu’s expression was a bit gloomy. He made a phone call and summoned Jani.

"Lord City Lord, the people you wanted have all been found. They were personally recruited by me into the elite guard, and their backgrounds are clean. Their families are all in our City of Light, confirmed personally by Miss Sha Chu. You can use them with confidence; they won’t talk carelessly." Jani said in a low voice upon entering Li Xiu’s office.

"What level are these Trial Takers?" Li Xiu asked.

"There are six at level E and four at level D. If you have specific level requirements, I have backup options, including several level Cs." Jani quickly replied.

"They’ll do. Bring them to the Trial Gate at noon." Li Xiu waved his hand, signaling Jani to leave. He wasn’t in the mood to talk with Jani.

Jani, sensing Li Xiu’s bad mood, didn’t dare say much and quickly withdrew.

After Jani left, Li Xiu wandered into the courtyard. Soon, he saw Chu Jun approaching, followed by Chu Qi.

"What’s happened?" Chu Jun looked Li Xiu up and down with some confusion.

He rarely saw Li Xiu looking so lethargic and knew something must have happened.

"The day after tomorrow, I’ll return to Changsheng Heaven. How about your side? Can you come along?" Originally, Li Xiu intended to stay a few more days, but after what happened in the City of Love, he realized his growth rate was too slow and needed to accelerate.

Resources in the City of Light were too scarce; only Changsheng Heaven could provide enough for fast growth.

"I came to tell you this. The old man agreed to let me go to Changsheng Heaven, and Brother Qi is going with me," Chu Jun said with some excitement.

"Since Chu Qi is going, I’ll light a candle for him first," Li Xiu said.

"No need." To everyone’s surprise, Chu Qi shook his head, refusing Li Xiu.

Chu Jun explained, "I mentioned the Light Planting Technique to Brother Qi, but he wants to walk the path of the Shattered Contract Foundation."

"That’s fine. One path is not inherently better than the other; the Light Planting Technique just familiarizes one with the Light Vein sooner. Brother Qi is already level S, not far from Condensing Light. It won’t be long before he can shatter contracts and condense the vein; it’s all the same," Li Xiu nodded in agreement.

Seeing Li Xiu had no other thoughts, Chu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. "I need to prepare for entering Changsheng Heaven."

"Money, as much as you can. As long as you have money, any resource in Changsheng Heaven is available," Li Xiu said.

"Haha, that’s simple. I might not have other things, but money is no problem at all. The old man said he would fully support my cultivation." Chu Jun said happily, "Since the Magic Spirit Tournament, White Night City’s attitude towards Trial Takers has changed somewhat. With the emergence of the Light Planting Technique, they also see the need to cultivate their own Trial Takers. Once we’ve achieved something, I’ll lead White Night’s Trial Takers. By the way, what currency does Changsheng Heaven use?"

"Changsheng Coins. You don’t need to worry about that. Both White Night Coins and Space Coins can be exchanged for Changsheng Coins. The exchange rate between Space Coins and Changsheng Coins is about 2 to 1," Li Xiu explained about the situation in Changsheng Heaven.

"Good, I was worried Changsheng Heaven wouldn’t recognize outside money. Knowing our money can be used there puts my mind at ease," Chu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

"You think too much. Wherever there are human communities, money is essential. Even if the name ’money’ disappears, it would surely exist in another form," Li Xiu checked the time and said to Chu Jun, "I have to visit Black Death City. You guys go prepare."

After Li Xiu left, Chu Jun said to Chu Qi at his side, "Brother Qi, can you lend your Demon Armor to Li Xiu?"

Chu Qi shook his head, "No, he’s not qualified yet."
