When "God" Decides To Start Over

Ximen Guan was getting more and more infuriated, cursing, "Those bastards of the Eternal Heaven are so short-sighted. If the Trial Taker can reach Super Spirit levels, then the technology of Demon Armor can also be innovated. Sooner or later, we can create Demon Armor that can easily kill Super Spirits. Damn it, I must create that kind of Demon Armor and make them regret it too late."

"Old Guany, rest assured, I will fully support your research on Demon Armor. As soon as the city's situation gets better, I'll immediately increase your budget to purchase the best equipment," Li Xiu paused and then added, "But before that, first, get my Demon Armor made."

"Don't worry, since we know Super Spirits exist, I certainly can't let you be in danger. If those guys from the Eternal Heaven, who can reach Super Spirit levels, come knocking, we must have the ability to respond. This set of Demon Armor must be made, and it must be constructed to the highest standards, capable of dealing with Super Spirit level demon spirits and Trial Takers," Ximen Guan said with a serious face, "One month is not enough; you have to give me more time."

"Alright, you can go all out; let me know if you lack anything, and I'll try to find a way," Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard Ximen Guan say he would construct to the highest standards.

"This Demon Core is just right as the core of the new Demon Armor, and I'll keep the Super Spirit Gemstone for research first..." Ximen Guan immediately asked for the Super Spirit Gemstone.

Li Xiu didn't have any objections, leaving the Super Spirit Gemstone and the Demon Core to Ximen Guan. After leaving the lab, he had a good sleep.

It wasn't until just before noon the next day that Li Xiu woke up, stretched lazily, and was about to get something to eat when he heard Chu Jun's voice outside the door.

"Li Xiu, we're in trouble," Chu Jun pushed the door open and hurried inside, looking anxious after hearing Li Xiu's voice.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu was slightly taken aback.

"Something happened at the construction site. Let's go take a look," Chu Jun said urgently.

"Construction site? What construction site? What happened?" Li Xiu didn't immediately understand what Chu Jun was talking about.

"It's the Demon Spirit Arena. Something happened at the construction site over there. Sha Chu said a hole collapsed, and workers fell in. They sent people down to rescue them, but they still couldn't get out," Chu Jun clarified the situation.

"Let's go take a look," Li Xiu quickly followed Chu Jun out the door.

Arriving at the construction site of the Demon Spirit Arena, the place was surrounded by tall iron sheets, making it impossible to see inside.

Entering through the main gate, they saw that the foundation had already been laid, and some buildings were starting to go up.

But now the site was cleared, with not a single person apart from Sha Chu present.

"The foundation is already finished, so how could there still be a collapse?" Li Xiu immediately asked upon seeing Sha Chu approaching.

"The City of Light was originally built by pushing the mountains, so it's all solid rock underneath. There wasn't a need to lay a foundation. After processing the rock, we added some seismic and waterproof layers and other works on top. Who knew that during last night's construction, that side suddenly collapsed into a hole..." Sha Chu explained while leading Li Xiu to the collapsed hole.

The hole wasn't very large, with a diameter of just over a meter, but looking down into the blackness, it was impossible to tell how deep it was; even a strong light couldn't reach the bottom.

"Did anyone go down?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.

One hole wasn't a big deal, but if there were larger cavities below, the City of Light would be like building on an eggshell, with the risk of collapse at any moment. If the entire city collapsed, all their efforts and investments would be for nothing.

"We sent someone down, but after not long, they suddenly lost contact. Pulling up the rope, we found the steel safety cable snapped. I dared not send anyone else down," Sha Chu showed the broken end of the steel cable to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu examined the break; it looked very smooth, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, causing him to frown slightly.

"Didn't they do a detailed survey before?" Li Xiu asked again.

"They did, and there were no cavities found below," Sha Chu thought and added, "Could there be a demon spirit below?"

Li Xiu had his suspicions as well. The steel cable did not seem worn through, and in such a place, humans were unlikely, making a demon spirit the most probable cause.

"Xiyuan, come over and bring the Demon Armor," Li Xiu made a phone call to Ye Xiyuan.

Before long, Ye Xiyuan arrived with the Ghost-faced Magic Armor. Upon learning what had happened, Ye Xiyuan immediately said, "City Lord, the situation down there is unclear. Let me go down first to investigate."

"Can you handle it?" Li Xiu looked at Ye Xiyuan and asked.

"I can," Ye Xiyuan replied firmly, showing she genuinely wanted to go down and clear the way for Li Xiu.

"Next time; there will be more opportunities. I might have a guess about what's down there, but I need to go down myself to verify my thoughts," Li Xiu patted Ye Xiyuan's shoulder, took the Ghost-faced Magic Armor, and jumped down.

He didn't really know what was down there, just had some doubts.

He had wondered before why the Red Sand City Lord would spend such a huge cost to build a city in this place; it couldn't be just for the Trial Gate.
