When "God" Decides To Start Over

If those Trial Takers had seen this palm earlier, they would probably have had to weigh their options; if they truly married her, they would question if their lives were resilient enough during conflicts.

"Good luck, I actually got a random entrance ticket," Bai Ying said with a smile, seeing the entrance ticket among her rewards.

"Let's go in and take a look." Li Qingyi took out a Trial Badge and entered together with Bai Ying.

On that stone table, there lay a Black Umbrella. Bai Ying casually picked it up with one hand, effortlessly, as if it were an ordinary umbrella.

"Just an ordinary Shimmering Contract." Bai Ying indifferently placed it behind her, and then followed Li Qingyi into Black Death City alongside the Longevity Lamp.

"Someone's already here!" As the two appeared at the crossroads in Black Death City, they found the ground littered with decomposing Black Death Demon corpses, causing them to furrow their brows slightly.

They surveyed the surroundings but didn't spot any shadows. Seeing that a gate in one direction was open, Bai Ying suggested, "We're not familiar with the circumstances in this Land of Trial. Should we check over there first?"

"Alright." Li Qingyi nodded, and the two headed toward the open city gate.

Outside the gate stretched a boundless desert, where a man in a tight white suit, with a red belt around his waist and sunglasses on his face, lay on the distant sand as if listening intently.

Next to him on the sand was a dark green gentleman's hat, casting a long shadow in the fiery red glow of the sunset.

The scene appeared peculiar, and Li Qingyi and Bai Ying's expressions were odd, unable to figure out what the Trial Taker was doing.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bai Ying asked curiously as she walked over.

The man did not speak, just placed his index finger on his lips, gesturing for silence.

Though young, Li Qingyi and Bai Ying had experienced many Lands of Trial, far from naive. Upon seeing the man's gesture, they fell silent and even softened their footsteps.

While remaining vigilant, they carefully approached the man.

Though skilled in reconnaissance, they could detect nothing amiss nearby nor sensed anything beneath the sand.

Arriving beside the man, they still found nothing unusual but refrained from speaking, imitating the man's position, lying on the sand to listen.

They had encountered spirits hiding underground before, but despite listening for a good while, heard nothing.

The man remained silent, so they could only watch him and silently ponder what he might have heard.

Finally, after a long moment, the man lifted his ear from the ground, dusted off the sand clinging to his face and body, and looked at Li Qingyi and Bai Ying.

The man, naturally, was Li Xiu, and his gaze was immediately drawn to Li Qingyi.

He had to admit that the cute often fades in comparison to the sexy, especially given Li Qingyi's face, which also held great allure for men.

Besides their figures and appearances, Li Xiu was attracted by their clothing.

The two girls wore matching outfits, complete with shoes.

One wore a green suit, the other a white suit, with unusual designs that didn't resemble modern clothing.

Additionally, they carried sheathed swords on their backs, presenting the aura of female Sword Immortals.

But the rings on their fingers, shimmering with gemstones, added a touch of opulence to the ethereal vibe.

In fact, being able to wear such a complete outfit, these two girls were undoubtedly no ordinary Trial Takers, considered wealthy among them.

Li Xiu, clad as he was, seemed barely better than a destitute beggar before them, except his rings could barely rival their grandeur in the affluent department.

"What were you listening to just now?" Bai Ying finally asked.

"I wasn't listening to anything," Li Xiu replied, shaking his head.

"Then what were you doing lying down?" Bai Ying asked, puzzled.

"I just wanted to see Black Death City from that angle," Li Xiu chuckled.

Li Qingyi and Bai Ying couldn't help but feel speechless; turned out he was just a guy idle and bored.

"Unexpectedly, I saw two fairies walk over; for a moment, I thought I was seeing things," Li Xiu continued with a smile.

"Though you seem a bit idle, you're an honest person," Bai Ying laughed. "Are you from the City of Light? Familiar with Black Death City? Give us a tour, and there'll be something in it for you."

"I can't, I have things to do," Li Xiu shook his head.

"What things? Lying here watching Black Death City?" Bai Ying paused, surprised at his refusal.

"Yes," Li Xiu nodded.

"Then continue watching; we won't disturb you," Bai Ying relented since he refused, deciding it made no difference whether someone guided them.

"If you're going to explore, check out the city gates opposite or to the left; avoid the right gate," Li Xiu advised.

"Why?" Li Qingyi asked.

"The right gate hasn't been opened yet; unknown what's beyond, only ghostly cries can be heard, likely dangerous," Li Xiu explained.

"Thanks." Li Qingyi expressed her gratitude, then began to retrace her steps with Bai Ying.

Having been through many Lands of Trial, they knew it was dangerous to wander aimlessly in a desert, risking losing their way, and they intended to participate in the magic tournament without wasting time here.

"What a strange man," Bai Ying muttered to herself as they walked.

Li Qingyi gave a thoughtful glance at the city gate of Black Death City.

Watching the two girls walk back into the city, Li Xiu lay back down, looking toward Black Death City.

This time, he was lucky to randomly get an entrance ticket, cleaned out the killable spirits, and unwillingly return. He opened the desert-side gate to seek what he might find.

It turned out he indeed made a new discovery; viewing Black Death City from this vantage unveiled something different.
