When "God" Decides To Start Over

"I'm not sure, just from appearances it looks quite similar, but that previous fake god also looked very similar to me. It's only by close contact that you can tell it's not them. Although their demeanor and some habitual movements are quite alike, I can be sure that they are not the same person." Ah Fei said.

"Let's level up first, since there's such a person around, sooner or later we'll root them out. What's your Primordial Embryo Quality now?" Li Xiu asked.

"It's 1.7 now. A few more A-level or higher Attribute Rewards, and I should be able to advance to D-level." Ah Fei replied.

Ah Fei's advancement speed was clearly much faster than Li Xiu's, as she was almost D-level without having drunk any Demon Spirit Wine.

Li Xiu was a bit helpless, he had too many Vampires on him and he needed to deal with them quickly.

"The City of Light is quite well put together." Bai Ying and Li Qingyi were walking side by side on the streets of the City of Light, Bai Ying looked around and said, blinking.

The two walking together attracted a lot of attention.

One tall and sexy, the other pure and cute, even the old man selling goods by the roadside couldn't help but take several more glances.

"There's more than a week until the competition starts, why did you come over so early?" Li Qingyi asked in confusion.

"I'd just be bored at home anyway, might as well come and explore. I heard the Hero Trial Ground in the City of Light is quite fun, so we can change our environment a bit, enjoying training and leisure at the same time." Bai Ying said with a smile.

"That works too." Li Qingyi nodded. If Bai Ying hadn't dragged her out, she might have preferred to stay home and continue in the Trial Ground.

"Let's go visit some gemstone shops first." Bai Ying had already checked out the location of Gemstone Street and pulled Li Qingyi along.

The two took a lap around Gemstone Street but were greatly disappointed, as there wasn't a single gemstone that caught their eyes.

"This is the level of the City of Light, and they're hosting a Demon Spirit Competition? Seems like not much of a future." Bai Ying said, pursing her lips.

"Although the environment and strength of the City of Light aren't great, it's clear that the Lord of Light City has great ambitions." Li Qingyi said.

"How can you tell? I didn't see it." Bai Ying asked, puzzled.

"The location of Gemstone Street is right next to the Demon Spirit Arena. There are also new streets being built over there, and judging by the structures, they're probably shops, hotels, and entertainment venues. This Lord of Light City isn't just planning a single Demon Spirit Competition, but likely has long-term plans." Li Qingyi explained.

"Sounds nice, but whether it'll succeed is another matter. It's possible this Demon Spirit Competition might not make any big waves." Bai Ying laughed. "There's nothing to see here, let's go to the trial ground instead."

Li Qingyi nodded, and the two headed towards the direction of the Trial Gate.

They had learned before arriving that anyone could enter the Hero Trial Ground of the City of Light, as long as they paid a relatively small ticket fee to get in and out freely.

Of course, they still had to supply the gemstone to open the Trial Gate themselves.

Arriving at the Trial Gate, they found it quite lively, with a fairly formal market outside, although there weren't many vendors.

"What's with this scene, letting people set up stalls in front of the Trial Gate." Bai Ying frowned.

Li Qingyi, however, was quite interested as she browsed around, happily saying to Bai Ying, "I'm getting more and more curious about this Lord of Light City. This kind of Trial Gate is exactly what I hoped to see. It should be a place accessible to ordinary people, not just a privilege for some."

Bai Ying was a bit speechless, "Don't you think it's a bit like a market? Trial Takers already have a lower social standing than Magic Armor Masters, and with this, Trial Takers will be even more commonplace."

Li Qingyi just smiled without making further comment. After buying tickets and entering, they saw people outside the Trial Gate forming teams.

To open the Trial Gate once, you need at least a dozen Black Apatites, which is indispensable.

Going in alone or with just one or two people is a bit wasteful for ordinary people, so generally groups of ten will enter together, splitting the entry cost evenly.

People in the City of Light had probably never seen such beauties before, and when Li Qingyi and Bai Ying appeared, many Trial Takers were amazed. Some even approached to invite them to join for free.

Li Qingyi and Bai Ying politely declined and opened the Trial Gate by themselves.

"One's sexy, one's cute, it's really hard to choose!"

"Of course, go for the sexy one, cute doesn't hold a candle next to sexy."

"I think the cute one is quite nice too, small and demure is also great."

"Studies show that men who like petite women usually aren't very healthy…"

The Trial Takers murmured among themselves. Everyone appreciates beauty; what man doesn't enjoy looking at pretty girls?

Li Qingyi and Bai Ying were randomly placed in a B-level difficulty Dark Maze. They seemed to see in the dark without any tension, chatting as they walked.

They encountered a tiger in the maze, only for it to be struck by Li Qingyi's palm, shattering its bones throughout its body and killing it instantly. The tiger lay limply on the ground as if its skin wrapped around soft stuffing.
