When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 672 - 275 Uncle_2

"Don’t be foolish, even though you’re a Super Spirit, you can’t possibly rival that malevolent ghost. Just hold on a little longer; she’s burning herself out for a forced explosion and can’t sustain it for long," said A Gui.

"Even if I survive, if she dies, then what’s the point of what I’ve done?" Li Xiu shook his head. In his eyes, a strange white light appeared as he looked at Bu’Er.

In merely an instant, Li Xiu’s eyes were completely engulfed by the white light, even the Dark Mirror couldn’t block the glow in his eyes.

"Is it a pupil skill? That kind of skill is useless against her. If you were of Spirit Forging Level, it might have some use, but you’re just..." A Gui’s words trailed off as he saw the purple flames on Bu’Er begin to calm down, and the purple flames atop the tomb slowly dissipate.

Ghostly Eye Covering, a Spiritual Sense attack method Li Xiu learned from the Vase Monster.

When used by the Vase Monster, this method could lure countless demon spirits to offer their lives using the peculiar tree.

When wielded by Li Xiu, it became even more terrifying.

The reason Li Xiu seldom used Ghostly Eye Covering was because it required crossing a line before it could be used, and crossing the line was just the minimum requirement, enabling usage similar to the Vase Monster.

Firstly, Li Xiu was unwilling to casually use cross-line abilities; the deeper the crossing, the less human he felt, as emotions grew increasingly insipid, affecting his usual temperament, and even causing damage to his brain.

Secondly, this skill to control others’ wills and obliterate souls, Li Xiu didn’t wish to use.

But at a life-or-death juncture, there was no time for much thought; this was Li Xiu’s biggest reliance and currently the only method to convert Spiritual Sense into combat power without using Demon Armor.

As the light in Li Xiu’s eyes grew increasingly odd, Spiritual Sense continuously erupted through Ghostly Eye Covering, and the purple in Bu’Er’s eyes grew fainter.

When Li Xiu stepped off the tomb, the purple flames in the graveyard had completely vanished, and the purple flames on Bu’Er had receded, her purple pupils becoming much gentler.

A Gui looked at Li Xiu with mixed surprise and disbelief, astonished that Li Xiu, merely a Super Spirit, could use pupil techniques to control such a presence.

Li Xiu took deliberate steps toward Bu’Er, placing his palm against her cheek, which felt as cold as ice.

"Un...cle..." Bu’Er suddenly uttered those words, her eyes meeting Li Xiu’s and then closing, her levitating body falling to the ground.

"She remembers me!" Li Xiu shuddered, reaching out to catch Bu’Er as she fell.

But when Li Xiu touched Bu’Er’s body, it scattered upon contact, dispersing like purple ash flying away.

Li Xiu’s lips trembled; he understood why Bu’Er didn’t leave as A Gui had said, why she burned herself to charge the tomb. Bu’Er recognized him, she wanted to be close to him!

He wanted to save Bu’Er’s body, but in the end, he accomplished nothing.

"Strange, malevolent ghosts lack humanity and memory—why does she seem to know you?" A Gui approached Li Xiu with curiosity, asking, "Who exactly are you?"

"A useless person," Li Xiu replied as he walked toward the city gate, intending to inquire of the Godslayer Shrine for answers.

"Hey... don’t go... let’s talk..." A Gui shouted behind him, but hesitated to leave the grave.

Li Xiu ignored him, walked straight into Black Death City, wanting to know what the hell was happening.

After Bu’Er dispersed, the city gates automatically opened, and Li Xiu returned inside where Jani and others were at the gate, trying to find a way to open it.

They had previously been startled when the gate closed on its own, discovering that Li Xiu hadn’t entered the city, and hurried to attempt to open it with the winch, but no matter what they did, the winch wouldn’t budge.

"City Lord..." Jani wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Xiu.

"Return," Li Xiu quickly made his way to the city square, extinguishing his Longevity Lamp.

After exiting, Li Xiu returned directly to his room, grabbing the Godslayer Shrine from the bed and forcefully slamming it onto the table.

"Tell me, what’s going on with City of Love and Black Death City? Otherwise, regardless of the method, I’ll destroy you right now," Li Xiu said through gritted teeth.

"Do you really want to know?" Surprisingly, the Godslayer Shrine didn’t argue with Li Xiu, instead a few words appeared on its surface.

"Yes," Li Xiu stared at the Godslayer Shrine.

"Then go seek the answer yourself," slowly appeared on the surface of the Godslayer Shrine, finally showing Li Xiu’s name.

The next instant, Li Xiu’s vision went black, and when it recovered, he was standing in the bustling center of the city.

"Uncle... why are you standing here?" A familiar voice called out behind Li Xiu.

Li Xiu trembled and turned, seeing Bu’Er as he first saw her, curiously gazing at him.

Colorful houses, charming landladies standing by the street, a Blind Tailor basking at the doorway, bustling streets, Bu’Er before him—it all seemed to have reverted to his first arrival at the City of Love, as if everything before had been a dream, never truly occurring.
