When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1009 - 387: I Am God (Part 3)
"Who is it?" Li Xiu sat up and asked, looking at the door of the room.
There was no response, just the rhythmic knocking sound, and Li Xiu stared at the door, involuntarily recalling the strange words the eccentric man had spoken.
"Is the one knocking really someone who hasn’t dined and drunk on this ship before?" Li Xiu felt an urge to open the door and take a look.
However, Li Xiu suppressed the impulse in his heart, lay back down, and continued to sleep, ignoring the knocking.
For several days, Li Xiu went to bed hungry, as he had not encountered a Divine Position Demon Spirit and had little interest in killing the ordinary demon spirits.
Although the demon spirits that survived in the Dead Sea were at least Light Base level, unfortunately, Li Xiu was no longer interested in Light Base demon spirits now.
When Li Xiu saw the eccentric man again, he didn’t even glance at Li Xiu. After that, the eccentric man never approached him for a conversation, as if the previous talk had never happened.
The president, on the other hand, was the same as before, eating and drinking without care, and said nothing more to Li Xiu, only suggesting he rest well to conserve strength.
Every time Li Xiu went to sleep, there would be the knocking, but it never lasted long, mostly only ten rhythmic knocks. Li Xiu never opened the door, and the knocking would disappear.
As days went by, Li Xiu gradually developed a strange feeling, as if he could slowly sense the big ship.
This sensation was very peculiar. Once, when Li Xiu returned to his room and thought of opening the door, the door opened by itself before he even reached out.
At first, Li Xiu thought there was something in his room, but after searching and finding nothing, he realized there was nothing there—the door had opened because of his consciousness.
Li Xiu conducted some experiments and found he could indeed use his mind to command the door to open and even bring furniture to him automatically.
Even more terrifying, he could sense the dragon head’s warning at the bow of the ship.
While in his room, he sensed the dragon’s warning signal. Initially thinking it was his illusion, going out on deck confirmed the dragon head reacted—a Divine Position Demon Spirit was approaching the ship.
This made Li Xiu reconsider the words the eccentric man had told him, and he couldn’t help glancing at the jug of wine on the table.
The Divine Position Demon Spirit was far inferior to the Black Dragon, and Li Xiu used only the Forbidden Spear to blast it away, seizing its Demon Core. Unfortunately, nothing came out of it—not even a Talent Gemstone, let alone a Divine Position Gemstone.
The corpse of the demon spirit, however, was dragged onto the ship by Li Xiu. It was Divine Position Level material, which he intended to bring back for the old official to craft Demon Armor.
As time went by, Li Xiu’s sensitivity to the ship increased, to the point where he could sense the friction of the ship’s movement over the sea. Any demon spirit approaching the ship was detectable by Li Xiu before the dragon head signaled.
He could even clearly sense the form and level of the demon spirits, which left Li Xiu somewhat puzzled.
When he saw the president again, Li Xiu decided he wanted to hear what the president had to say.
Taking the opportunity when the president finished eating and was smoking alone, Li Xiu approached him.
Before Li Xiu could speak, the president smiled and said, "No need to say anything, just remember what I told you before you came."
Li Xiu paused, then laughed and asked, "How much longer until we reach the Celestial Sea?"
"Soon, probably in four more days at most," the president said, puffing on his pipe, his expression somewhat grim.
"Guan Jinghao told me something," Li Xiu continued.
The president turned to look at Li Xiu, smiling, "He said I’m not human, right?"
"Are you?" Li Xiu met the president’s gaze unyieldingly.
"From his perspective, he’s not wrong," the president’s reply surprised Li Xiu a little.
"Where are you from? The Demon Kingdom?" Li Xiu asked again.
"You guessed half of it correctly," the president said with a smile.
This answer sparked many thoughts in Li Xiu’s mind, and he stared at the president with a complex expression. "You founded the Demon Kingdom?"
"Smart," the president’s expression showed a hint of approval.
"Are you the Demon Country Celestial Emperor?" Even though he had guessed, Li Xiu was still a bit shocked.
The president said nothing but smiled, which was implicit acknowledgment.
"So, you’re not from the Demon Kingdom, but from the outside world?" Li Xiu gazed at the president with a complicated expression.
"It’s nothing surprising. Isn’t your sister from the outside world? Is that so shocking to you?" the president said with a mischievous smile.
"You know my sister?" Li Xiu was taken aback.
"The old eighth divined the celestial secret for me, predicting my death because of Ling’Er. Your sister is Han Ling’Er. Old folks fear death, so I learned some things," the president said nonchalantly, blowing a smoke ring.
"So?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the president.
If the president intended harm toward Han Ling’Er, Li Xiu, even at the cost of his life, wouldn’t allow the president to succeed.
"Even if I told you, you might not believe it," the president said lightly.
"How can you know I won’t believe without saying it?" Li Xiu rebutted.
"If I said your sister isn’t even qualified to take my life, would you believe it?" The president looked at Li Xiu, smiling ambiguously.
Li Xiu looked at the president without speaking; in fact, he didn’t really believe it. The president was strong, but Li Xiu felt Han Ling’Er should be even stronger, at least that’s how both made him feel.
"You think your sister is strong, and you’re not wrong. She is indeed strong, strong enough to surprise even me. But in essence, she’s no different from you, while I am different," the president slowly said.
"How are you different?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the president.
"She is human...and I...am a god," the president said with squinted eyes.
