When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1012 - 388: Celestial Sea Island (Part 3)

I don't know if the seawater here is different from the Dead Sea elsewhere, or if it's influenced by the light from the giant light sphere below, but it seems to have lost its terrifying corrosiveness. Li Xiu feels that the seawater here isn't much different from ordinary seawater.

Although there are bubbles everywhere, the temperature of the seawater isn't high.

Li Xiu was pondering in the water when he suddenly felt a massive suction force pulling his body towards the giant light sphere below.

Li Xiu didn't resist, allowing the force to drag his body down quickly. In a short time, his vision was completely filled with light, a white glow in front of him, seeing nothing else.

Splash!

Not long after, Li Xiu suddenly felt like he had left the seawater, and the white light before his eyes vanished.

As his vision gradually recovered, Li Xiu was surprised to find that he had arrived next to the Celestial Sea Island. The chairman was standing on the white sandy beach, waving at him.

Li Xiu quickly looked up, seeing only darkness, like a pitch-black, lightless night sky. But Li Xiu knew it wasn't the real night sky; it was the Dead Sea.

This made Li Xiu feel like he was in a dream: "Is it the Dead Sea or the sky? Is the light sphere rising from the Dead Sea really a light sphere or the sun? From here, anyone would think it's the sun, right?"

But now that sun was nowhere to be seen, even though the sky was dark and lightless, the Celestial Sea Island was as bright as day.

Li Xiu stepped out of the sea, coming to the chairman's side. He didn't have time to admire this miraculously beautiful island, because opposite the chairman stood a clothed demon spirit.

Li Xiu had seen many humanoid demon spirits wearing clothes, but this was the first time he had seen one that looked like a unicorn wearing clothes.

Moreover, the clothes it wore were clearly not made of Light Energy but ordinary fabric.

A horse or unicorn in a strange suit, looking bizarre yet extremely fitting, as if this demon spirit was a gentleman in a suit and tie, wearing a top hat.

The only thing out of place was that the top hat had a hole poked through by its horn, or else it couldn't wear the hat on its head.

"Is he the one you chose?" The odd demon spirit, with eyes gleaming with intelligence, looked Li Xiu up and down and spoke human words.

"Yes." The chairman smiled.

"Doesn't look like much, worse than the one you brought last time." The demon spirit said, tilting its mouth. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Whether good or bad, we'll know once we try." The chairman said casually.

"True, sooner dead, sooner over." The demon spirit yawned, as if it had played mahjong all night, looking very unwell: "Human, do you know the rules?"

"What rules?" Li Xiu looked at the chairman beside him.

Upon hearing Li Xiu's words, the demon spirit paused slightly, then laughed again: "I forgot, he can't tell you the rules in advance."

"Alright then, I'll waste some time telling you the rules." The demon spirit said as it turned and raised a front hoof, pointing at the mountain peaks on the island: "From here, climb the mountain, you'll pass seven peaks. On each peak, there's a Guardian. Defeat the Guardian to proceed. If you can conquer all seven peaks, you'll reach the Celestial Sea Palace. At that point, it depends on fate whether you live or die."

"What do you mean by depending on fate?" Li Xiu frowned.

"Your real opponent is inside the Celestial Sea Palace. But with your level of skill, it's impossible to defeat her, so it depends on her mood, whether she'll spare your life." The demon spirit added: "But in my opinion, you won't even get the chance to test your fate. At your level, you're sure to die on the first peak."

"Better get going, I'll help collect your remains later, then I need to catch up on sleep." The demon spirit said as it walked towards the mountain.

"Let's go." Li Xiu looked at the chairman, who nodded slightly at him.

Li Xiu looked at the chairman with a peculiar expression. He had bragged so much, but upon reaching Celestial Sea, he didn't even dare to climb the mountain, only standing by the sea waiting.

Li Xiu originally thought the chairman would meet with the unparalleled experts of Celestial Sea and engage in battles of strategies. Who would have thought he couldn't even get in the door? Not to mention the unparalleled experts, there wasn't even a proper demon spirit, just a gatekeeper sent over.

"Is the chairman just bragging?" Li Xiu thought the chairman's actions were quite different from what he boasted about.

The demon spirit led Li Xiu towards the mountain peaks, allowing Li Xiu to finally take a closer look at this Celestial Sea Island.

It was different from the view outside. From here, the mountain peaks were found to have carved stone steps, ascending along the mountain, winding up to the summit. The path extended along the mountains, like a mighty Giant Dragon coiled atop the undulating mountain range, disappearing into the distance, revealing and hiding among the clouds.

"The first peak's Guardian is named Ruoruo. After you die, make sure to remember the name, so you know who you died to and don't file the wrong grievance." The demon spirit said as it walked.

"You're the damn Ruoruo, your whole family is Ruoruo." A thunderous, angry roar came from the mountain top, so loud it almost split Li Xiu's eardrums.

Looking up, he saw a demon spirit, shining entirely in Gold, standing like a lion at the end of the stone steps. It emitted a Divine Light that bathed the entire peak in gold and was glaring angrily at the unicorn-like demon spirit beside Li Xiu.

Li Xiu wasn't interested in their internal strife. He looked around and noticed that the Guardian demon spirit's Divine Light couldn't reach beyond the peak.

Clearly, mystical powers were confining the energy to the peak itself; their battle likely couldn't affect outside the peak.

"I am the Guardian of the first peak of the Sea and Sky's Seven Peaks, King of Gold. Challenger, register yourself." The demon spirit resembling a Golden Lion glared at Li Xiu and growled.
