"As you can see, that’s a city." Words materialized above the Godslayer Shrine.
"What kind of city has people who can die and live over and over again?" Li Xiu asked coldly, "Tell honestly, does the City of Love really exist, or is it just a city that exists in mory?"
"If you want to know, you can go to the graveyard outside Black Death City, where you’ll find the answers you seek." Another line of text appeared on the Godslayer Shrine.
"You could just tell directly." Li Xiu stared at the Godslayer Shrine.
"So things, if you haven’t seen them, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand. After you’ve experienced them yourself, you’ll naturally understand everything." The Godslayer Shrine spoke quite a bit today.
"Fine, I’ll go take a look there first. When I return, if you keep evading, don’t bla for being rude." Li Xiu pondered and said.
Before, outside the graveyard of Black Death City, the events he encountered already made him suspect that those buried within might be people from the City of Love.
Li Xiu first found Chu Jun and asked him to treat his injuries again.
"Li Xiu, what have you been doing all day? It’s only been a short ti, how are you injured so badly again?" Chu Jun frowned, looking at Li Xiu’s wounds.
As Li Xiu was getting treated, he explained the matter of the City of Love and Black Death City.
Chu Jun listened and said, "Last ti you ntioned this matter, I was thinking, could the City of Love be the forr Black Death City, a mirage that doesn’t really exist?"
"I thought so too, but if it were just an illusory realm, I shouldn’t be wounded. Plus, I once killed so demon spirits outside the City of Love and brought back the Demon Core; those things can’t be fake." Li Xiu replied.
"I also considered that, and wondered whether the City of Love might be a segnt of ti and space extracted by so mysterious force, eternally stuck in repetition." Chu Jun speculated.
"That’s probably the most plausible explanation right now." Li Xiu nodded, "What exactly the situation is, perhaps this trip to Black Death City will provide answers."
"I’ll go with you." Chu Jun offered.
"No need, you have to manage the Trial Taker competition; besides, the place is different from the City of Love; I need to explore by myself." Li Xiu shook his head.
After healing, Li Xiu headed to the Hero’s Trial Gate, swiping his Trial Badge to enter a trial that granted him access.
Upon arriving at Black Death City, Li Xiu found that many Trial Takers had already arrived, vastly different from the previously deserted city.
The Black Death Demon within had long been exterminated, and people moved around like it was a marketplace.
Of course, most of these Trial Takers were not from the City of Light; they were participants from the competition.
Since the City of Light only had this one Trial Gate, they flocked here when not competing.
Li Xiu glanced around, recognizing many familiar Trial Takers, presumably from Longevity Heaven.
Li Xiu’s appearance attracted many gazes, for in the Land of Trial, items from the outside can’t be brought in, nor can faces be concealed; everyone could see clearly.
Not keen on conversing, Li Xiu headed straight for the graveyard’s city gate, soon arriving there.
"Li Xiu." Just as he was about to open the gate, he heard soone call his na.
From the voice, Li Xiu knew it was Li Qingyi. Turning around, he saw Li Qingyi in green robes approaching.
"Why are you here too?" Li Xiu asked, sowhat surprised.
Typically, Trial Takers head to the canyons and deserts; few venture to the Dead Sea and graveyard.
Li Xiu had previously issued a notice in the City of Light, warning Trial Takers that these two gates were perilous outside.
In the past, many who ignored advice were never seen again.
"Too many Trial Takers have co; it’s hard to find demons to kill now, so I ca here to try my luck." Li Qingyi assessed Li Xiu and asked, "What brings you here?"
"I have so business outside the city. There are inexplicable things out there; you should check elsewhere." Li Xiu advised.
"If you can go, why can’t I? Are you implying I’m inferior to you?" Li Qingyi grinned.
"That’s not what I ant. If there weren’t sothing urgent, I wouldn’t be risking it." Li Xiu explained.
"What exactly is it, Commander Li? As a mber of the technicians, your subordinate naturally has an obligation to assist you." Li Qingyi clearly wouldn’t let Li Xiu off easily.
"It’s personal, no need to trouble you." Li Xiu was at a loss for words.
"Alright then, handle your business, I’ll wander around myself." Li Qingyi said.
Li Xiu was helpless; if it were any typical subordinate, he would simply send her back. Unfortunately, Li Qingyi was not actually his subordinate.
"Alright, how about we go together, but the outside situation is complex; you’re not familiar with it..."
Before he could finish, Li Qingyi blinked and chid in, "Commander, rest assured, I’ll follow your lead."
Li Xiu shook his head, reached out to operate the winch, and raised the city gate.
The two didn’t go far before arriving at the graveyard.
