When "God" Decides To Start Over

"What are you planning?" Chu Jun asked Li Xiu.

"First, let's get the things ready and send them over to him. Let's see what he really intends to do. Just as he said, if he can summon the demon spirit and eliminate it, it would be a good thing for us. After all, once we buy the Golden Gate, the S-Class Demon Spirit within the main hall will also be a problem." Li Xiu said.

"Whatever you say, we'll do." Chu Jun didn't have any objections; he was quite curious about the demon spirit that Old Dao mentioned and wanted to see it for himself.

The three people originally set to go to Guyue City had to return to the City of Light, allowing Sha Chu to prepare those materials.

Since the City Lord's Mansion was really out of money, Chu Jun had to cover part of the funds for buying the Golden Gate.

"Old Guan, how is my set of Demon Armor coming along?" Li Xiu went to the laboratory and found the busy Ximen Guan.

"Why rush? We're working day and night on it, all other work has stopped just to make your Demon Armor. It will take another twenty days." Ximen Guan said.

"Can it be finished in ten days? I need the Demon Armor for something." Li Xiu planned to take a set of Demon Armor to Old Dao. If this set couldn't be finished, he would have to take the Ghost-faced Magic Armor instead, though Li Xiu preferred not to show the Ghost-faced Magic Armor to the people of Changsheng Heaven.

"At least twenty days." Old Guan said without looking up.

"This could be a problem." Li Xiu pondered silently.

"What is so urgent?" Old Guan lifted his head, curious about why Li Xiu needed the Demon Armor so hastily.

"I might have to kill a demon spirit." Li Xiu explained the situation with Old Dao and the Golden Gate.

"Old Dao? You mean Elder Dao?" Old Guan asked in surprise.

"You know him?" Li Xiu realized he had overlooked Old Guan, who used to mingle a lot in Changsheng Heaven.

"Of course I know him. I can't believe he's still alive. Back when I was in Changsheng Heaven, he was already an elder. I interacted with him quite a bit. He was a decent guy. Unlike the other elders and commanders, who were all high and mighty, Elder Dao did everything slowly and was easy to talk to, with a good temperament."

Ximen Guan thought for a moment and continued, "I remember his Symbiotic Contract was a knife, and he was nicknamed Demon Blade. Legends say that no one has ever seen him draw his blade, not because everyone who saw it died, but because his blade was too fast. Even those who saw him draw it couldn't see its form, hence the name Demon Blade."

At this point, Ximen Guan's expression turned serious. "You said he's guarding the Golden Gate, so it must be right. It surely means there's a remarkable demon spirit inside that Golden Gate ready to break out; otherwise, they wouldn't send these elders to guard it."

"Changsheng Heaven would do such a thing?" Li Xiu was shocked. In his impression, Changsheng Heaven wasn't anything good, yet they sent people to guard the Trial Gate to prevent the demon spirits from escaping, which could be considered a public good.

Ximen Guan smirked and said, "Once the demon spirit breaks out, it'll look for gemstones to swallow. Do you think Changsheng Heaven would let the demon spirit devour gemstones? That's their foundation."

"I see, the motive may be impure, but it's indeed a good deed." Li Xiu nodded.

"Having Elder Dao personally guard it means the demon spirit about to burst from the Trial Gate is no ordinary one." Ximen Guan mused, "Here's the plan, I'll assemble the Demon Armor within ten days so you can use it temporarily, and once you're back, we can add some other main components."

"Missing main components?" Li Xiu was hearing for the first time about such a thing.

Since it's usable, the Demon Armor should be completed. How are there main components not yet installed?

"The primary parts of this Demon Armor are almost done; with some haste, ten days should suffice. However, its weapon system isn't complete. You can use it first without the weapon system." Ximen Guan explained.

"How am I supposed to kill a demon spirit without a weapon system?" Li Xiu felt Ximen Guan was joking; without a weapon system, would he have to fight the demon spirit bare-handed?

"The weapon system I'm referring to isn't what you understand. Conventional Demon Light Weapons are part of the Demon Armor's energy system, which is nearly ready. The Demonic Light Skills you usually employ would work fine." Ximen Guan chuckled.

Li Xiu suddenly became interested and quickly asked, "What weapon system are you talking about?"

"Hehe, it's a special weapon system I designed for your Demon Armor, using that Monster Horn and weapon you brought as materials to develop a unique weapon system. Once I install it, you'll see the benefits. Alright, don't disturb us anymore; we need to rush the work, otherwise, it won't be finished in ten days." Ximen Guan shooed Li Xiu away.

Li Xiu became even more excited about the Demon Armor Ximen Guan was constructing, especially the weapon system.

He was already aware of the situation at the Golden Gate, so he decided not to go to Guyue City and had Sha Chu send someone directly to meet with that boss Qiu to see if the Golden Gate could be purchased.

"You make me do all the work while you spend your days with that beautiful Magic Armor Master, traveling, being lovey-dovey, inseparable. Is this fair?" Sha Chu scoffed at Li Xiu.
