When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Demon Spirit Egg

“You said his code name is God?” Li Xiu looked at Bandit with a strange expression.

From what he knew, he was the only one among the current Demon Suiter who dared to use such a code name.

In fact, this wasn’t his code name either. It was a nickname someone else had given him. His original code name was Safflower.

“Yes, his code name is God.” Bandit’s expression was solemn, and she looked very serious. She didn’t look like she was joking.

“The world number one Demon Suiter, God?” Li Xiu wondered if another Demon Suiter had also used the code name ‘God.’

“I don’t know if he’s number one in the world. I only know that people call him God and that he’s a Demon Suiter,” Bandit said.

“When did you meet this Demon Suiter named God?” Li Xiu asked again.

“Three years ago,” Bandit said almost without thinking. It looked like something that she would never forget had happened after she met God.

Li Xiu felt a little embarrassed. The time matched quite perfectly. He had only become famous in the past three years.

Bandit had been trapped in the Abyss Base for three years and didn’t know that God was now the world’s number one Demon Suiter. The timeline matched perfectly.

“What did God do to make you want to kill him?” Li Xiu asked after some thought.

“This has nothing to do with you. You just need to tell me if you can help me,” Bandit said through gritted teeth.

“I’ve already said that I’m not an assassin, nor will I kill someone for no reason.” Li Xiu naturally couldn’t agree to Bandit’s request. Wouldn’t that mean that he had to commit suicide?

Bandit seemed to be in a dilemma. After a while, she said with a pained expression, “He killed my entire family. Do you think such a person deserves death?”

“Killed your entire family? Where?” Li Xiu was slightly stunned.

Now, he was certain that the ‘God’ Bandit was talking about was not him. This was because after he became a Demon Suiter, he had been fighting Demon Spirits. He didn’t have the time to kill people.

“Sea Stone Town.” Bandit’s eyes were filled with hatred. “The World’s End trial only opens once every half a year. If you miss this opportunity, you might not have another. As long as you’re willing to help me, I’ll help you reach the end and obtain the skill reward.”

Li Xiu thought to himself, That’s definitely not me. I’ve never been to Sea Stone Town. The ‘God’ that Bandit is talking about is definitely not me.

“I can only promise to help you investigate the truth. If the God you mentioned is really a sinful person, I can help you take revenge,” Li Xiu said seriously.

Bandit stared at Li Xiu for a long time before returning to her bed and lying down. She then turned her back to Li Xiu and said, “Alright, I shall take your word.”

What’s going on with that guy called God? Li Xiu was puzzled.

In the Demon Suiters circle, it was unlikely that anyone who didn’t know his title of God. There shouldn’t be anyone who would use this code name again. Whether that Demon Suiter used ‘God’ as a code name on purpose or not made Li Xiu wonder.

Even if Bandit didn’t ask for his help, he had to find out who that guy was.

Since it wasn’t time yet, Li Xiu put on the Demon Suit and explored the area to seek a way out. He discovered that, as Old Gu had said, a section of the tunnel had collapsed.

As it was underground, he didn’t dare to blow up the collapsed area and could only dig up a tunnel.

With the help of the Difficult, Li Xiu could be said to have extraordinary strength. It wasn’t difficult to move the rocks, broken steel, and wooden frames.

After clearing a distance of 20 to 30 meters, there was still a collapsed tunnel in front of him. Li Xiu moved away another boulder that was nearly two meters tall and was about to push it to a spot that wasn’t in the way when he discovered many colorful rocks piled up behind the boulder.

They weren’t ordinary rocks but all kinds of gems. Most of them were rubies and sapphires, and some were diamonds. There were also crystals, tourmaline, garnets, and some gems that Li Xiu didn’t recognize.

With more than 10,000 gems piled together, it was dazzling. Even Li Xiu—who didn’t have much pursuit for money-couldn’t help but have his eyes light up. In this era, gems were very valuable. They didn’t depreciate because of the chaos.

This was because opening the Trial Gate required all kinds of gems. For example, opening Sea and Sky Trials required more than 30 pieces of sapphire weighing more than a carat.

Of the 10,000-plus gems here, there was no lack of very precious sapphires, rubies, diamonds, and so on. There was no lack of gems above ten carats.

Typical convention was that rubies greater than three carats made them collector-level gems. Likewise for sapphire when they exceeded five carats.

Li Xiu took a cursory look and discovered many rubies and sapphires that weren’t smaller than ten carats or even larger.

Diamonds went without saying. The price wasn’t inferior to rubies and sapphires. Li Xiu even saw some very large colored diamonds among the stack.

Soon, his gaze was attracted to the item in the middle of the pile of gems. It was a translucent, milky-white egg-shaped crystal the size of a fist.

When Li Xiu was first drawn to the pile of gems, he thought that it was a piece of jade. But now, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent.

“Demon Spirit… Egg…” Looking at the egg, Li Xiu’s expression changed indeterminately.

He had fought Demon Spirits for so many years, but he had never seen a Demon Spirit Egg. However, he had heard of such a thing.

Demon Spirit Eggs were produced in very secret places, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to find them. Only a few people were lucky enough to encounter them.

These Demon Spirit Eggs were mostly brought back to the laboratory for research. They were quite valuable.

Legend had it that a laboratory had developed a way to hatch, control, and tame Demon Spirits, but this method was only suitable for unhatched Demon Spirits.

Li Xiu had only heard of them, but he had never seen a domesticated Demon Spirit.

Could it be that Old Gu wasn’t lying and that there was indeed a Demon Spirit assault? Li Xiu thought through it carefully and felt that the Demon Spirit assault probably wasn’t fake. However, it also wasn’t a lie that Old Gu wanted to use it as a way to silence everyone. It was very likely that Old Gu wanted to use this opportunity of the Demon Spirit attack to monopolize the Sea and Sky Trials’ secret.

I wonder which retarded Demon Spirit used this place as a place to hatch its descendants. Today is my lucky day. Li Xiu found a large box and wanted to store the gems.

With so many gems and a Demon Spirit Egg, he could probably live a carefree life without doing anything for the rest of his life after leaving the Abyss Base.

Li Xiu took off the Demon Suit and reached out to grab a handful of gems. Just as he was about to throw them into the box, he discovered that the gems he touched immediately turned to scraps that flowed out from the gaps between his fingers like sand.

What’s going on? Li Xiu grabbed a few more handfuls of gems, but the outcome was the same. As long as he touched the gems, they would immediately shatter, and in a short while, they would turn to worthless scraps on the ground.

Seeing the huge amount of wealth in his hands disappear just like that, even Li Xiuwho didn’t care much about money-was a little stunned.

Just as Li Xiu was feeling depressed, the Demon Spirit Egg suddenly moved.
