When "God" Decides To Start Over

This time, the Godslayer Shrine almost got him killed. Who knows what tricks it might pull in the future.

Li Xiu is preparing in advance; no matter what else the Godslayer Shrine tries, it can only bring him into Black Death City.

With the protection of the Nether House's proprietress, Li Xiu is essentially standing undefeated.

"Since you can understand the Nether Chronicles, you should know that I can't leave the second floor." The proprietress chuckled, "But if you dare come up to the second floor, I might agree to it. I'm afraid you don't have the guts."

"I certainly don't dare go upstairs, but as the spirit of Nether House, as long as I enter, even if just on the first floor, you should be able to keep me alive, shouldn't you? Like the identity of the bartender." Li Xiu said coolly.

"You want to be a bartender? I can certainly grant you that wish." The proprietress said.

"Hmph, it seems you have no sincerity at all. In that case, there's no need for us to continue talking." Li Xiu stood up as he spoke, heading to the bar and taking a few bottles from the shelf.

The first bottle Li Xiu took down was Tender Lover, the bottle intended for himself.

This is a relatively mild drink, but when mixed with Blood Rose, Li Xiu wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle it.

However, by blending it with several other drinks, it can harmonize and balance attributes, reducing the impact of Demon Spirit Essence on his body.

He took the mixing tools from the cabinet under the bar, measured a certain amount of Tender Lover into a shaker, and then opened a bottle of Black-robed Bishop.

Upon opening, the bottle emitted a black glow, the Demon Spirit Essence within was extremely potent, and Light Energy had already begun seeping out.

Li Xiu used a spoon to scoop half a spoonful, adding it to the shaker, then capped the Black-robed Bishop and returned it to the shelf.

Next was a bottle of Purgatory Angel; as the cap was opened, the room was bathed in a blood-red light.

This time, Li Xiu only took a drop. According to the Nether Chronicles, even a top-tier Demon Spirit would die instantly from just a sip of Purgatory Angel.

Li Xiu picked a few more bottles, some glowing faintly, some brilliantly radiant, some almost devoid of light.

Once all the drinks were poured into the shaker, Li Xiu closed the lid, grabbed the shaker, and began to shake, mixing the drinks thoroughly.

Li Xiu didn't understand any special techniques, and the Nether Chronicles didn't provide any guidance. He simply aimed to mix them thoroughly.

The shaker was not made of ordinary metal, but a kind of black crystal, appearing somewhat transparent but indistinct.

As he shook it, the various colors collided and sparkled inside, outshining fireworks, like a cosmic collision.

Li Xiu was somewhat stunned because he sensed terrifying energy waves inside the shaker. Luckily, the shaker could shield these energy waves; otherwise, they might obliterate him.

"This energy is so strong, is it really okay to drink it?" Li Xiu wondered, but he had no other choice.

As the dazzling lights inside the shaker gradually harmonized into a faint red hue, Li Xiu knew it was ready.

He poured the drink into a glass, a pale red liquid exuding an extremely rich aroma.

Its name was Redemption, one of the blending formulas recorded in the Nether Chronicles.

"You actually blended Redemption. Congratulations!" The proprietress's tone was full of mockery, "Too bad you don't know who this Redemption is meant for."

"Oh, does who drinks it matter?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the pale red liquid in the glass.

"Did you really think mixed drinks are harmless? Without special constitution, even mixed drinks can be deadly. This Redemption was specifically blended by the previous bartender for the Radiant Demon Spirit Dark Knight King. The Dark Knight King drank this Redemption, used its energy to refine his body and soul, breaking free and achieving Super Spirit. You're a mere E-grade Trial Taker; I'm curious how you will die drinking Redemption."

"I hope to satisfy your curiosity." Li Xiu raised the glass of Redemption and drank it all in one gulp.

Having chosen the drink, he couldn't change his mind, nor was there any need. Other blended formulas might not be better than Redemption.

The pale red fluorescent liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach, and the intense aroma filled Li Xiu's mouth and nose.

The next second, Li Xiu felt a force spreading from his stomach throughout his body, as if he was being consumed by flames.

In fact, his entire body began to glow like fire, as if bathing in flames.

"Naive little darling, not everyone can be redeemed. The strong are redeemed because they're worthy. For the weak, redemption is often a more terrifying disaster." The proprietress's voice was filled with disdain.

But soon, the disdain in her voice turned to surprise, and then to disbelief.

The fiery glow on Li Xiu's body gradually faded, revealing his true self, his skin shining with a lustrous sheen, as if blessed by Holy Light.
