"As you can see, that is a city." Words appeared on the tablet of the God of Death.

"What kind of city can have people die and live again and again?" Li Xiu said coldly, "Tell me honestly, does the City of Love really exist, or is it just a city in memory?"

"If you want to know, you can go to the cemetery outside the Black Death City. There you will find the answers you want." These words appeared on the tablet of the God of Death.

"You can just tell me directly." Li Xiu said, staring at the tablet of the God of Killing.

"Some things, if you haven't seen them, you won't be able to understand them even if I tell you. After you experience them yourself, you will naturally understand everything." The Killing God Tablet said a lot today.

"Okay, I'll go there and take a look first. When I come back, if you keep making excuses like this, don't worry that I will be rude." Li Xiu thought for a while and said.

What happened to him in the cemetery outside the City of Black Death had already made him suspect that those buried in the cemetery might be people from the City of Love.

Li Xiu first called Chu Jun over and asked Chu Jun to help him heal his injuries again.

"Li Xiu, what have you been doing all day? It's only been a short time, how come you are injured so badly again?" Chu Jun frowned as he looked at the injuries on Li Xiu's body.

While treating his wounds, Li Xiu explained everything about the City of Love and the City of Black Death.

Chu Jun listened and said, "The last time I heard you talk about this, I was wondering, could the City of Love be the former Black Death City, a mirage that doesn't exist at all?"

"I think so too, but if it's just an illusory kingdom, I shouldn't be hurt. Besides, I have killed some demons outside the City of Love before and brought back the magic cores. Those things can't be fake." Li Xiu said.

"I've thought about this too. Do you think it's possible that the City of Love is a fragment of time and space cut out by some force, and that fragment of time stays there forever, repeating itself over and over again?" Chu Jun thought for a while and said.

"This is probably the most likely explanation at this point." Li Xiu nodded and said, "What exactly is going on? Maybe we can get the answer when we go to Black Death City this time."

"Let me go with you." Chu Jun said.

"No, you have to organize the Trial Competition, and that place is different from the City of Love. I have to explore it myself." Li Xiu shook his head.

After healing his wounds, Li Xiu went to the Gate of the Brave Trial and directly used the trial badge to enter the trial with an admission ticket.

Li Xiu arrived at the Black Death City and found that many trial participants had come to the city, which was very different from the previous empty city.

All the Black Death Demons in the city had been killed long ago, and the trial participants were coming and going, just like a market.

Of course, most of these trial-takers are not from the City of Light, but those who come to participate in the competition.

Because there is only one trial gate in the City of Light, they all come here when there are no competitions.

Li Xiu took a rough look and saw quite a few trial-takers who looked familiar. They should be the trial-takers from Changshengtian.

Li Xiu's appearance also attracted many people's attention, because things from outside could not be brought into the trial site, and there was no way to cover his face, so everyone could see him clearly.

Li Xiu didn't want to talk to anyone, so he went straight to the gate of the cemetery and soon arrived in front of the gate.

"Li Xiu." Just as he was about to open the city gate, he heard someone calling his name.

Li Xiu knew it was Li Qingyi from the voice. He turned around and saw Li Qingyi, dressed in green, walking towards him.

"Why are you here too?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.

Most trial participants go to the canyons and deserts, and very few go to the Dead Sea and the cemetery.

Li Xiu had previously issued an announcement in the City of Light, telling those trial-takers that it was extremely dangerous outside the two city gates.

In the past, there were many trial participants who did not listen to the advice and disappeared.

"There are too many trial participants, and now there are no demons to kill, so I want to try my luck outside this door." Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and asked, "What are you doing here again?"

"I have something to do outside the city. There are some inexplicable things outside the city. You should go somewhere else to have a look." Li Xiu advised.

"You can go, but I can't. Do you mean that I'm not as good as you?" Li Qingyi said with a smile.

"Of course that's not what I meant. If nothing happened, I wouldn't take the risk there." Li Xiu said.

"I wonder what's the matter, Chief Li? As a member of the technician team, your subordinate naturally has the obligation to help you solve your problems." Li Qingyi obviously didn't want to let Li Xiu go.

"It's a personal matter, so I won't bother you with it." Li Xiu didn't know how to explain.

"Okay, you do your thing and I'll just take a look around." Li Qingyi said.

Li Xiu was helpless. If it was an ordinary subordinate, he would just let her go back. Unfortunately, Li Qingyi was not actually his subordinate.

"How about this, we go together, but the situation outside is a bit complicated, you don't know much about the situation here..."

Before Li Xiu finished speaking, Li Qingyi blinked and said, "Don't worry, Commander. I will follow your instructions."

Li Xiu shook his head, reached out to push the winch, and raised the city gate.

Not long after they walked out of the house, they saw the cemetery.

"Why are there so many graves here?" Li Qingyi asked curiously.

"I think a lot of Demon people died here in the past." Li Xiu said as he walked towards the cemetery.

"Ah Gui..." There was no sign of Ah Gui outside the cemetery, and Li Xiu did not go in directly, but just shouted twice outside.

"Why are you here again?" After a while, Ah Gui walked out from the depths of the cemetery, stood next to the outermost grave, looked at Li Xiu with a depressed look on his face and said.

But when he saw Li Qingyi next to Li Xiu, Ah Gui's eyes lit up: "What's the name of this beautiful lady?"

"Li Qingyi, Li Xiu's subordinate." Li Qingyi said himself.

Hearing this, Ah Gui looked at Li Xiu with some jealousy and said, "You are really something. You actually have such a beautiful subordinate."

Li Qingyi understood the hidden meaning of Ah Gui's words, but just smiled without explaining anything.

Li Xiu was too lazy to explain to Ah Gui, so he asked directly: "Ah Gui, has anything strange happened in this cemetery recently?"

"How do you know there are strange things in the cemetery?" Ah Gui looked at Li Xiu in surprise and asked.

"Can you tell me what strange thing happened first?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

Ah Gui glanced at Li Qingyi, and Li Xiu understood what he meant, and quickly said, "We are one family, so just say whatever you want to say."

Ah Gui then said, "Do you remember the grave where something came out before?"

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu asked with a strange look on his face.

The grave that Ah Gui was talking about was naturally the one where Xiao Bu, who looked like an evil ghost, crawled out last time.

"A few hours ago, there was movement on the grave again, emitting a strange purple light..." Ah Gui gave a brief account.

After listening to this, Li Xiu's expression became even more strange. The time that Ah Gui mentioned was the time when he entered the City of Love this time and Xiao Bu'er died.

"It seems that the person buried in that grave is indeed Xiaobuler. But why did the grave here change strangely after Xiaobuler from the City of Love died? Could it be that the life and death of Xiaobuler from the City of Love will affect this place?" Li Xiu thought to himself.

"Take us to see it." Li Xiu said as he stepped into the cemetery.

Li Qingyi also followed, and under the leadership of Ah Gui, the three of them went deep into the cemetery together.

After a while, Li Xiu saw a purple light flashing in the cemetery in front. After bypassing the big tomb in front, he saw the grave where Xiaobu had crawled out like a ghost.

The grave was intact, but strangely, there were many little purple stars twinkling on it.

After a closer look, I found that those were not little stars at all, but small insects like fireflies, emitting bright purple light.

"What's going on with those bugs?" Li Xiu stared at the bugs, but he didn't sense any breath of evil spirits on them.

"It seems like they came out from under the grave. There weren't so many when I came to see them not long ago. But over such a short period of time, it seems like they have increased several times." Ah Gui murmured.

Li Xiu frowned as he looked at the bugs on the grave, and said nothing. The God of Killing tablet asked him to come over, probably because he wanted to see what was inside the grave.

Li Xiu still remembered the horror of the evil ghost Xiao Bu'er last time. Mainly because the ordinary trial-takers' power had no effect on the evil ghost Xiao Bu'er, it was indeed a bit troublesome.

"These should be soul bugs, right?" Li Qingyi on the side suddenly said.

"Soul worm, what is that?" Li Xiu and A Gui both looked at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi thought for a moment before saying, "Legend has it that there are some extremely powerful demons. After they die, their souls will turn into soul insects and gather in the land of death."

"I have killed quite a few demons, but why have I never seen soul worms?" Li Xiu had killed even god-level demons, but had never seen soul worms.

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Only some extremely powerful demons can transform into soul worms after death. I have only seen it once, when my father took me to a trial site. There was a big tomb there, and the tomb was full of soul worms, like a volcano burning. However, the soul worms there were golden, not purple, but they all looked the same. I can't be sure whether these were soul worms or not."

"Are there any dangers posed by soul worms?" Li Xiu asked.

"It shouldn't be any harm. My father caught a few soul bugs with his hands and put them in a bottle for me to play with. They were very beautiful, but not long after, the soul bugs in the bottle disappeared." Li Qingyi said.

"It's good that there's no danger." Ah Gui was worried about the threats posed by these soul insects, and he felt relieved when he heard what Li Qingyi said.

Li Xiu looked at the soul worm on the grave, hesitating whether to dig up the grave to see what was inside.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the soul insects on the grave seemed to be frightened and flew up from the grave.

Li Xiu and A Gui both retreated quickly. Although Li Qingyi said that the soul worm should not pose any threat, they were not sure whether it was a soul worm or not, so they naturally did not dare to take any risks.

Li Qingyi was also retreating, and it was obvious that she herself lacked confidence.

After the group of soul insects flew up, they actually pounced towards the three people at an astonishing speed.

"Scatter." Li Xiu yelled and headed in one direction first.

Li Qingyi and A Gui also ran in different directions. As a result, when Li Xiu turned around, he found that the soul insects ignored Li Qingyi and A Gui and rushed towards him without a single one left.

"Oh my god, I haven't even dug the grave yet. I was just thinking about it. Can this be retribution?" Li Xiu felt a little depressed.

Seeing that the soul bugs were almost behind him, Li Xiu summoned the forbidden gun and, in Gatling mode, bombarded the soul bugs.

As a result, the bullets all passed through the bodies of the soul insects, as if they were ghost bodies.

"This thing is the same as the evil ghost Xiaobuer before... ordinary trial-takers' power can't hurt them at all..." Li Xiu immediately realized the problem and was about to use his spiritual sense to cross the line.

Only when spiritual consciousness crosses the line can it have an effect on this kind of thing. This is what we did last time when we dealt with the evil ghost Xiao Buer.

But before Li Xiu could activate his spiritual power, the soul insect that rushed to a place not far in front of him suddenly stopped and did not rush towards Li Xiu again.

The soul insects flashing purple light were flying in the air and gradually formed two words.

"Uncle..." When Li Xiu saw the two words formed by the soul insects in the air, he didn't know what to feel for a moment.

The last time, the evil ghost Xiao Buer also called out these two words under the stimulation of Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness.

This time, these soul insects actually arranged these two words, which surprised and delighted him.

"Xiao Bu'er, is that you?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

"Uncle, it's me." The formation of the soul insects changed and turned into four words.

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Xiu's mind: "If all the people buried in these graves are from the City of Love, and if the person buried in that grave is really Xiao Bu'er, how could she know about me? Unless our previous speculations are wrong, and the City of Love is not an illusory kingdom, nor is it a certain memory space, if that's the case, even if the person buried in this grave is Xiao Bu'er, she would not be able to know of my existence."

Now Li Xiu could only guess two possibilities. One possibility was that the City of Love was the Black Death City in the past, and the tablet of the God of Death sent him to the Black Death City in the past. He and the people in the City of Love experienced all that, so Xiao Bu'er, who had long since died and turned into a ghost, would remember him.

There is another possibility. Maybe the two cities are parallel spaces that can influence each other, so what happens in the City of Love will affect here.

In Li Xiu's opinion, the likelihood of these two possibilities is extremely small.

What an incredible power it is to be able to turn back time. When he was fighting against the Killing God Tablet before, if the Killing God Tablet really had such power, it would have killed him long ago. Would it have waited until now?

The intersection of parallel spaces is something that only exists in some fantasy works. In reality, Li Xiu has never heard of the existence of parallel spaces.

"Xiao Bu'er, what on earth happened?" Li Xiu directly asked the doubts in his heart. This might be the closest he has ever been to the truth.

"I don't know what happened either." The soul worm kept changing into various forms of magic runes in the air. Fortunately, Li Xiu recognized the magic runes.

Li Xiu continued to communicate with the soul worm, and soon he realized something.

Although these soul insects have Xiao Bu'er's memories, those memories only lasted until she was killed by a mysterious man, and she didn't know what happened afterwards.

As the communication time increased, soul insects continued to disappear. There were fewer and fewer soul insects in the air, and soon there were not many left.

"Uncle... I... feel... so... tired... I... want... to... sleep..." Because there were too few soul worms, he could only utter them word by word.

"Xiao Bu'er, wait for me, maybe I can save you." Li Xiu murmured to himself as he watched the last soul worm disappear.

Now he is certain that what happened in the City of Love can affect the City of Black Death. So if he defeats the mysterious man and saves the people in the City of Love, then Xiaobul and the others will not have to die.

Li Xiu wasn't sure if this was the case, but he wanted to give it a try.

But when he thought of that mysterious man, Li Xiu felt a headache again.

Apart from his spiritual power, his trial-taker power had little effect on the mysterious man, and there was no possibility of defeating him at all.

However, spiritual power does not have real killing power. At most, it can make the mysterious person fall into an illusion.

The scary thing is that the mysterious man's spiritual consciousness is also very strong. The spiritual power that Li Xiu's body can support can only make him fall into an illusion for a short time. Such a short time is not enough for Li Xiu to do anything.

"It seems that I still need to be promoted to the status of a god. Only by improving my own physical strength can I unleash more spiritual awareness. Even if it cannot reach the level of hurting others, there may be a chance to make that mysterious person trapped in an illusion for a long time..." Li Xiu and A Gui came to Xiao Bu'er's grave again. The strange phenomenon there had disappeared, the grave no longer emitted light, and there were no purple soul worms on it.

After saying goodbye to Ah Gui, Li Xiu and Li Qingyi returned to the city.

Li Qingyi had many doubts in her mind, but she didn't ask anything.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Li Zhengxing was about to blow out his own longevity lamp, but was pulled back by Li Qingyi.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi in confusion and asked.

"Do you remember what I told you just now, that my father once took me to a large tomb in a trial place?" Li Qingyi said.

"Remember, that's where you saw the soul worm. What's wrong?" Li Xiu didn't know why Li Qingyi suddenly brought up this matter.

"I was still very old at that time, and many years have passed. Apart from the soul worms and the big tomb, which have relatively clear memories, I can no longer remember some details. But when I saw you communicating with those soul worms just now, I suddenly recalled something." Li Qingyi seemed a little depressed when he said this, and did not continue immediately.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu knew that Li Qingyi said this, and the thing he remembered must have something to do with him, so he hurriedly asked.

Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I remember when I was playing with a bottle, my father also spoke to the big tomb like you did, and the soul worms on the big tomb also arranged themselves into some words like this. At that time, I had not yet learned magic words, and it was the soul worms flying around. Now that I think about it, those should be magic words. Because I didn't know them at all at that time, I don't remember what those magic words were, but there were two relatively simple symbols, which I remembered at the time. Now that I think about it, they should be what Xiao Buer meant."
