When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 944 - 366: Data
"Was it the Godslayer Shrine that slaughtered Black Death City?" Li Xiu looked incredulously at the Unparalleled King.
"Do you think Black Death City is just any ordinary place? Those who defy the divine are no ordinary folks. The ones residing there are top-tier human strongmen of the Demon Kingdom. If not beings like the True God, who else could lay such waste to that city, leaving no survivors?" the Unparalleled King said.
Li Xiu was slightly taken aback. The Unparalleled King's tone seemed to suggest that even if he himself went, he might not be able to destroy the City of Love.
However, Li Xiu had fought against Old Man Wu and the Blind Tailor in the City of Love and had seen them in action, not thinking much of their prowess.
At most, they were just at the pinnacle of Spirit Forging Level, but why would even a being like the Unparalleled King make such remarks about the pinnacle of Spirit Forging Level? This made Li Xiu extremely puzzled.
Li Xiu immediately realized that there was indeed something amiss here.
A powerful dynasty like the Demon Kingdom, almost ruling over the entire Demon Spirit Realm, could not possibly rely on just a few Spirit Forging Level Trial Takers to hold the fort.
Old Man Wu, known as the Fifth Celestial King of the Demon Kingdom, surely couldn't be just a mere Spirit Casting level.
If he were merely at the Spirit Casting level, any Divine Position Level powerhouse from the Celestial Sea could wipe out the City of Love. Why would a True God need to personally descend?
The Unparalleled King himself was a member of the Celestial Sea. From the Unparalleled King's abilities, one could gauge the strength of the Celestial Sea.
This only indicated that at the time, the strength of the City of Love commanded enough respect from even a True God, necessitating a personal descent.
But Li Xiu indeed witnessed the strength of Old Man Wu and the Blind Tailor, which wasn't that formidable.
"Were those human strongmen in Black Death City at the Divine Position Level?" Li Xiu asked.
"Of course. If not even at the Divine Position Level, why would the True God personally visit?" the Unparalleled King said as if it were obvious.
After a pause, the Unparalleled King continued, "Initially, I wanted to use the Godslayer Shrine to break the taboo, but since your Life Contract possesses the Forbidden Light of the Celestial Sea, there's no need for such trouble. You use the Forbidden Light to help me break the confinement, and I will teach you how to use the Godslayer Shrine. Once you have this shrine, you will have an Undying Body. As long as the shrine is not destroyed, no one can kill you."
"So this is what you're waiting for me to do." Only then did Li Xiu understand why the Unparalleled King so readily revealed the secrets of the Godslayer Shrine.
This Godslayer Shrine already bore the Name of God, unlike ordinary Longevity Plaques. Without the Unparalleled King's Secret Technique, it couldn't be used either.
The Unparalleled King could divulge those secrets so easily because he was confident that not many would know how to use the Godslayer Shrine, and certain that he wouldn't be able to obtain the Secret Technique elsewhere, thus speaking with such bold assurance.
"My lord has boundless divine force. Just now, I used all my strength to withstand a casual strike, and now my Light Energy is nearly exhausted. I'm afraid I can't help you out of this predicament for the time being. I will replenish my Light Energy as soon as I return and immediately come to assist you." With that, Li Xiu didn't wait for the Unparalleled King to react and immediately turned to leave the exit of the underground space.
"Bastard!" the Unparalleled King cursed angrily but didn't stop Li Xiu from leaving. Watching him go, the Unparalleled King's lips curled into a cold smile: "Besides me, probably no one else can teach you how to use the Godslayer Shrine. Sooner or later, you'll have to come back and beg me, for who can resist the allure of immortality?"
After leaving the underground space, Li Xiu closed the entrance to the tunnel and took out the Godslayer Shrine for a glance, only to see that there wasn't a single word on it.
"Old Sha, you heard everything the Unparalleled King said. What do you think?" Li Xiu asked, holding the shrine.
"I don't know... I don't remember..." Finally, characters began to appear on the Godslayer Shrine.
"Do you think what he said is possible?" Li Xiu asked again.
"I don't know... I think it's unlikely... How could I be that God of the Celestial Sea? If I really slaughtered the City of Love, how would I end up in this form? You experienced everything in the City of Love. If I were truly that mysterious person, would I be like this? It just doesn't make sense."
"Then you should think it over. Let's talk again when you figure it out." Li Xiu knew he probably wouldn't get much more out of any further questioning now.
What the Godslayer Shrine said wasn't entirely wrong. If it were indeed that mysterious person who wiped out the City of Love, why would it think to let him kill the mysterious person to save Little Bu'Er? It was inherently too contradictory.
But such a possibility couldn't be ruled out entirely, after all, the Godslayer Shrine itself admitted to memory loss. Perhaps it was that mysterious person, only it couldn't remember itself.
"If the Godslayer Shrine truly was the mysterious person, what exactly happened after the destruction of the City of Love? What turned it into its current form, sealed in the stone coffin of the small room?" Li Xiu thought that what the Unparalleled King said still seemed rather believable.
"I want to go to the Celestial Sea. Maybe there, I could find the answer," slowly appeared a line of text from the Godslayer Shrine.
Li Xiu inwardly smiled bitterly: "If you are indeed that mysterious person, and I take you to the Celestial Sea, once you recover your memory, how would I still have my life?"
