When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1046 - 400: Preparation
"You are one of the Four Great Evil Spirits, the ancient evil of the Celestial Sea," Li Xiu said calmly.
"Correct." The Godslayer Shrine was not surprised; it was natural for Li Xiu to guess this.
"And you are not him either," Li Xiu continued.
"How do you know?" The Godslayer Shrine was greatly surprised; he had just remembered this himself and didn’t expect Li Xiu to know.
"You were originally in the City of Love, but someone brought you to the Black Death City," Li Xiu continued without answering.
"You... how do you know these things?" The Godslayer Shrine became increasingly surprised.
Li Xiu showed no expression and continued, "In the City of Love, there’s a piece of Spirit Suppressing Stone on the little Bu’Er, similar to the Bu’Er of the Celestial Sea. Both are a combination of fantasy substance and Spirit Suppressing Stone. Your task in the City of Love was to collect the Spirit Suppressing Stone energy that overflowed each time little Bu’Er died. The ancient evil didn’t have the ability to absorb the Spirit Suppressing Stone energy himself or to appear in the reincarnation cycle of the City of Love, so he used this method to continuously steal little Bu’Er’s energy."
"Did the ancient evil tell you this?" The Godslayer Shrine was skeptical that the ancient evil would reveal this to Li Xiu.
"No," Li Xiu sighed. "The ancient evil was confident that Li Boyang would not let the little Bu’Er in the City of Love survive, wanting to use Li Boyang to achieve his goal of merging the Spirit Suppressing Stone energy. Unfortunately, he miscalculated. Li Boyang had long discovered your existence but did not destroy you. He merely used some means to make you forget your mission, then brought you to the real Black Death City and sealed you in the coffin originally intended to bury little Bu’Er."
"You forgot everything, yet your functions remained, continuously transmitting the energy you absorbed to the ancient evil. However, the ancient evil did not realize this was no longer pure Spirit Suppressing Stone energy, but the mutated Black Death City energy influenced by the City of Love. He fell for Li Boyang’s trap." Li Xiu had basically inferred the entire situation.
"You even knew this?" The Godslayer Shrine was even more shocked.
"So, who are you now?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the Godslayer Shrine slowly.
"I don’t know who I am either," the Godslayer Shrine replied, troubled. "Strictly speaking, I’m not the ancient evil, just a tool created by a wisp of consciousness combined with the Longevity Plaque and Endless Water."
"During my time in the City of Love, I absorbed the city’s fantasy substance. In the Black Death City, I continuously absorbed the mutated energy. Although most of the mutated energy was synchronized to the ancient evil, over the years of being baptized by the mutated energy and having my memory shattered by Li Boyang, I gradually formed my own personality..."
"So, you are no longer the ancient evil. You are yourself, the God of Slaughter of the Black Death City," Li Xiu said calmly. "The City of Love and the Black Death City have both acknowledged your existence; otherwise, you couldn’t have opened the Blood Moon Black Death City. If I’m not mistaken, the Blood Moon Black Death City is actually a special space between reality and illusion, possessing the powers of both the fantasy City of Love and the real Black Death City. Only you can connect the two."
"Am I really myself?" Several words slowly floated on the Godslayer Shrine.
"Yes, you are the God of Slaughter, also the Guardian of the Black Death City and the City of Love. You were chosen by them. Your soul is imprinted with the spirits of those from the City of Love and the Black Death City. You are the proof of their past existence, the continuation of their spirit. You are not anyone’s subsidiary; you are yourself, the God of Slaughter," Li Xiu said firmly.
"I see. I am myself, I am the God of Slaughter," the Godslayer Shrine appeared exceptionally excited.
The Godslayer Shrine absorbed the fantasy substance of the City of Love, effectively becoming the spiritual aggregate of the City of Love, even incorporating a trace of little Bu’Er’s spirit.
After Li Boyang shattered its memory, for various reasons, the Godslayer Shrine developed its own independent personality, becoming a new life form. It was no longer just a consciousness of the ancient evil.
The Godslayer Shrine felt painful because it considered itself a tool and a split spirit of the ancient evil that destroyed the City of Love and the Black Death City, harming little Bu’Er.
Li Xiu’s words made the Godslayer Shrine wake up suddenly. It was no longer a tool of the ancient evil, but a part of the City of Love and the Black Death City, a guardian of reality and illusion.
"God of Slaughter, can you do me a favor?" Li Xiu asked.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it," the God of Slaughter immediately agreed.
"Move the entire City of Light to the location of the City of Love," Li Xiu said as he looked at little Bu’Er sleeping on the bed.
"Why do you want to do this?" the Godslayer Shrine asked puzzledly.
"Only then can the City of Light escape a great catastrophe," Li Xiu said calmly.
Li Xiu knew very well that the ancient evil was bound to fail, and the president would not spare him when he returned.
Although Li Xiu didn’t think the president was a person of extreme evil, at least there was a little Bu’Er in his heart. He could have been more ruthless but chose not to, so that little Bu’Er would have a chance of survival. It showed that he wasn’t purely a villain.
However, Li Xiu also had no doubt about the president’s determination to obtain the Spirit Suppressing Stone. The president went through so much trouble just to get the Spirit Suppressing Stone, and he would not easily give up.
