When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 997 - 383: Strongest Demon Armor (Part 3)

He was just a driver, whereas Old Guan and the others were the creators of this Demon Armor.

"I’m asking you to name it because you know I’m terrible at coming up with names. I want you to do it for me, and no excuses." Old Guan stubbornly insisted.

"Then let’s call it Hua Mei." Li Xiu touched the Demon Armor on his body and secretly resolved in his heart that he would cherish the Hua Mei Demon Armor dearly and never let it be damaged easily.

Old Guan was slightly taken aback, looked at Li Xiu with a complex expression, and then nodded, saying, "Very well, let’s call it Hua Mei."

Li Xiu originally wanted to chat with Old Guan and the others at the research institute, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the time. Old Jia came with the orders from the President, instructing Li Xiu to go to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Li Xiu knew it was time to head to the Celestial Sea, so he had to bid farewell to Old Guan and the others and follow Old Jia to the City Lord’s Mansion.

"It’s time for us to leave. Do you need to bring anything?" the President asked Li Xiu.

"I want to go back and say goodbye to them," Li Xiu replied.

"There’s no need for that. I’ve already notified them to see you off at the Trial Gate," the President said.

Li Xiu thought it was a good idea, as he wasn’t someone who liked facing farewells.

"There are a few things you need to remember before you go," the President continued, staring at Li Xiu.

"Please go ahead," Li Xiu listened calmly.

"On the way, you must listen to me. Once you reach the Celestial Sea, you need to act according to the situation. There’s no need to stick to the rules or worry about face. Your only goal is to win; nothing else matters," the President said.

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu felt there was more to the President’s words.

"You’ll understand in due time. Just remember, brute force isn’t the only way to solve problems," the President was unwilling to say more.

After preparing some things, the President took Li Xiu along to Wansheng Town.

Indeed, in Wansheng Town, many people were already waiting to see them off. From Longevity City to Wansheng Town, people lined both sides of the road to bid farewell.

However, in Longevity City and on Spiral Mountain, it was mainly people from the major families and the other Six Longevity Groups, while in Wansheng Town were the Fishmen, along with members of the Technician group.

"Commander, when you return, I hope to spar with you." Jing Li had returned from guarding the Trial Gate, clearly to see Li Xiu off.

"Sure," Li Xiu nodded in agreement. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Commander, you can go without worries. If you really don’t come back, I will unhesitatingly take the position of Commander of the Technician Group." Jiuxiao Yun said with a cheeky smile.

"Then I’ll count on you for the future," Li Xiu laughed along.

Only the two of them understood the true meaning behind Jiuxiao Yun’s words.

Friends of Li Xiu came forward one by one to say their goodbyes, though Li Xiu didn’t see Li Ming’Er and Li Qingyi anywhere.

"It’s just as well they didn’t come," Li Xiu sighed to himself.

As he approached the Trial Gate, A Fei suddenly walked up to Li Xiu and asked, "Did you mean what you said?"

"What?" Li Xiu was momentarily puzzled, unable to react.

"Regardless of whether you meant it or not, I took it seriously. Wait for my answer when you come back." A Fei said, not waiting for a response, and turned to leave.

It took Li Xiu a moment to understand what A Fei meant, and his expression became odd.

"Commander, I didn’t know you had it in you," Sha Chu said with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Li Xiu was slightly taken aback.

Sha Chu should’ve been in the City of Light at this time, and Li Xiu hadn’t informed her about his departure for the Celestial Sea. It was clear someone had tipped her off, though he didn’t know who.

"With me here, don’t worry," Chu Jun said as she came out from behind Sha Chu.

Li Xiu frowned inwardly. Almost everyone close to him had shown up. If the President had notified them, it was certainly intriguing.

Wan Chaocun arrived with Wan Chaoxin and Baye to see off Li Xiu. They first paid respects to the President and then chatted briefly with Li Xiu.

"Fourth Brother, don’t worry. This journey will definitely end with good fortune emerging from misfortune," Baye said with a grin.

Wan Chaocun didn’t say much, only urging Li Xiu to be cautious. His brows showed worry, though he was reluctant to express it.

The six Commanders and Vice President Han Minghui also came to see them off, primarily for the President, but also for Li Xiu.

Unexpectedly, after paying respects to the President, Han Minghui also approached Li Xiu, smiling as she said, "Make sure you come back."

"Don’t worry. I promised you something, and I’ll keep my word," Li Xiu said.

Han Minghui said seriously, "I do want that thing, but even without it, I hope you can come back alive."

"Why?" Li Xiu was genuinely surprised.

"Without you, Longevity City would be a bit duller," Han Minghui said with a teasing smile, though it was hard to tell if she was serious.

After saying his goodbyes, Li Xiu and the President walked to the Trial Gate together. The President didn’t instruct anyone to open the gate with the Trial Badge.

"Are we waiting for someone?" Li Xiu asked curiously.

"Yes, they should be here soon," the President said calmly.

Li Xiu waited, and before long, he saw a streak of light flying in from the sky. Looking carefully, he realized it was a broken blade.

Boom!

The broken blade planted itself in front of Li Xiu. He looked at it and then shouted in the direction it came from, "Old Dao, what do you mean by sending me off with a broken blade? Are you cutting ties with me?"

"Break your head. I don’t like sending people away. The blade is like its person—if there’s anything to say, come find me when you return," Old Dao’s voice came from the sky.

Li Xiu chuckled, saying nothing more. Someone like Old Dao wouldn’t go out of his way if he didn’t care.

The President then had someone open the Trial Gate with the Trial Badge. As the gate was repeatedly activated, Li Xiu scanned the crowd of well-wishers, seeing familiar faces from the Technician group and Magic Armor Masters.

Suddenly, Li Xiu’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"Damn it... Old Guan..." Li Xiu almost cursed out loud.

In the last row of the Magic Armor Masters’ ranks, he saw a female Magic Armor Master. Although he had somewhat forgotten what Hua Mei looked like, the moment he saw that face, he remembered.

The female Magic Armor Master was undoubtedly Hua Mei, standing there intact and looking rather well.

"It’s definitely Hua Mei, without a doubt!" Li Xiu glared fiercely at Old Guan, who had already turned his face away, refusing to meet Li Xiu’s gaze.

Li Xiu wanted to say more, but the President had already pulled him through the Trial Gate.
