"God?" No matter how Li Xiu looked at this wretched old guy, he didn't look like a god.

Li Xiu admitted that the president was very strong, but he couldn't judge to what extent. After all, he had never seen how strong the president was in real combat state.

"Besides the matter of going to Tianzhihai, you also want to know something else. Now that we have come to this point, just ask clearly all at once." said the president.

"Why did the Demonic Kingdom disappear?" Li Xiu wanted to ask about Xiao Bu'er, but he was afraid that everything that happened to Xiao Bu'er was caused by the president.

"Because I failed." The president's answer was simple.

"Who defeated you?" Li Xiu was a little curious. Who was it that defeated the president and caused the empire to fall apart? The Emperor of Heaven had to hide his identity and come to Earth to establish Changshengtian.

"No one can defeat me. I was defeated by this world." The president looked into the distance with a complicated expression and said, "There are some things that you will not understand even if I tell you."

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I can't understand?" Li Xiu said.

The president smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll use the simplest example to explain. How much you can understand is up to you."

After a moment's silence, the president said, "Do you know how to advance from the godly position to the peerless position?"

"I've heard that we need to break through the truth." Li Xiu replied.

"Truth is the rules, but rules have their own limitations. For example, in basketball, you need to abide by the rules. If you break the rules, you must accept the punishment." The president said meaningfully: "If the world is likened to a basketball court, then you are all basketball players on the court. You must abide by the rules of the court, otherwise you will be punished. Of course, the punishment in this world is not as simple as fouls and ejections. It may cost you your life. But I don't belong to this basketball court, so even if I break the rules, there will be no punishment."

"In other words, you are the equivalent of peerless." Li Xiu said.

"It's completely different. Jueshi can indeed break the rules, but if we use the basketball game as an analogy, Jueshi are those who can escape the referee's eyes and do some small moves that are not allowed by the rules. They are completely different from people like me who are outside the basketball court." said the president.

"After all, you are still the same as my sister." Li Xiu pondered.

The president shook his head again: "That's why I said it's hard to explain. Let me put it this way. Your sister should be considered a player from another basketball court. She is different from me."

Li Xiu indeed found it a little difficult to understand. Although the metaphor was very clear, it was difficult for him to form an effective systematic understanding.

"Since you are so strong, even the best is nothing to you, why do you still need me to fight on your behalf?" Li Xiu changed his approach, wanting to know more.

"I've already said it before. I can't answer you about Tian Zhihai. You will know it later." The president said expressionlessly, "These are the only things I can tell you. Whether you believe it or not, it's your choice. I won't interfere with your choice."

Hearing the president say this, Li Xiu vaguely felt that the president should know what the weirdo had said to him.

"Can you tell me what's going on in the Black Death City? This should have nothing to do with the Sea of ​​Heaven, right?" Li Xiu did not give up the idea of ​​knowing more secrets.

The president looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression and said, "Have you met the Great King?"

Li Xiu nodded, and the president continued, "Since you have seen it, you should know about the Soul-Suppressing Stone. I was the one who broke the Soul-Suppressing Stone. A fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stone fell into the Black Death City, turning it into a strange place."

"Is that all?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.

What he wanted to know was not these, but the connection between the City of Love and the City of Black Death.

"I know what you want to know, but I can't answer you because the things you want to know are all related to the Sea of ​​Heaven. If you are lucky enough, you should be able to get the answers when you go to the Sea of ​​Heaven this time." The president smiled.

Li Xiu was a little annoyed. Every time when it came to a key issue, the president would bring up Tian Zhihai.

Although Li Xiu also knew that the matter of Black Death City was definitely related to Sky Sea, it was really uncomfortable for him to hear the president say half and half.

"Go back and rest." The president turned and walked towards the cabin.

The president was unwilling to say anything more, and Li Xiu had no choice but to go back to the cabin to rest.

Li Xiu sat on the deck, head down, thinking about the information he got from the president.

The president is the Emperor of the Demonic Kingdom. Li Xiu had had such an assumption before, but he never thought it would be true.

As the president of the Demonic Kingdom, he said that he was defeated by this world. Considering what Guan Jinghao had said to him before, Li Xiu had to doubt that the president really wanted to destroy this world, but why did he want to destroy this world? What good would it do for him?

If he just wanted to leave this world, then he shouldn't have to do such a thing. Han Linger also came from outside this world. She was also looking for a way back, and it seemed that she had already found a way.

The president himself said that he is stronger than Han Linger. If that is true, he should also be able to leave like Han Linger. It makes no sense to destroy the world just to leave.

Li Xiu still couldn't figure out what was going on. He enjoyed the sea breeze for a while but didn't find any evil spirits approaching the ship, so he had to go back to his room to rest.

During the remaining days, Li Xiu did not encounter any more gods or demons, and his idea of ​​becoming a god before reaching the Sea of ​​Heaven was completely shattered.

Today is the last day as the president said. Li Xiu sat in the room, looking at the pot of wine on the table, feeling a little hesitant.

Now he could clearly feel that his perception of the ship was becoming more and more acute, and he could even sense the situation in every corner of the ship.

The president and the weirdo were drinking and chatting in the cabin. He could sense everything clearly in his room, but he didn't hear any useful information.

Li Xiu knew that the president and the weirdo should also know about his current situation.

The strange thing is that Li Xiu could sense the entire ship clearly, but when there was a knock on the door, he could not sense anything outside the door, as if there was no one outside at all.

"Today is our last chance. Do you want to drink?" Li Xiu looked at the wine jug on the table and finally chose to give up.

Although all signs seem to prove that the weirdo's words are right, Li Xiu still believes that it is not the whole truth. Li Xiu still feels that the president is more trustworthy than the weirdo.

"Boy, come out, we're here." The president's voice came from the deck.

When Li Xiu walked out of the room and came to the deck, he was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

He had never understood before that the Dead Sea itself was an ocean, and the Sea of ​​Heaven was also an ocean, so how could there be another ocean within the sea? Now he finally understood why that place was called the Sea of ​​Heaven.

On top of the big ship, Li Xiu saw a blue ocean, which was actually floating in the sky.

No, it should not be said to be suspended. The ocean above their heads is more like a world reflected in a mirror. In the ocean above their heads, there is an upside-down island. That should be where they are going.

The big ship was sailing between the seas, and the strange man also came to the deck. When he looked at Li Xiu, a hint of anxiety flashed across his eyes.

His eyes passed over Li Xiu's face, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just walked to the side of the president and said with a smile: "After sixty years, I'm finally here again."

"How many times have we come here in total?" the president asked, looking at Tianhai Island in the distance.

"I forgot. My memory has never been good. In thousands of years, this must have happened dozens of times." The weirdo sighed and said, "I hope this is the last time."

"This should be the last time." The president said, staring at the island with burning eyes.

"That's right. This should be the last time you have someone like this to help you." The weirdo's expression was extremely complicated. He seemed a little lost, but also as if he was relieved.

After that, neither of them said anything else. The ship continued to move forward until it arrived right below the island.

When looking at it from a distance, one didn't realize how spectacular the island was. Only when it got closer did Li Xiu feel that the island itself was very shocking.

There are rolling mountains on the island, and each peak is probably thousands of meters high. Each peak is a little different, some are covered with snow, some are blooming flowers, some have green leaves like shade, and some have yellow leaves falling.

It seems that the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are divided on this island.

But Li Xiu did not see any buildings or evil spirits on the island, not even a bird or an animal.

The entire island is like a strange and beautiful painting. It is beautiful but has no real vitality.

The ship stopped right below the island. When Li Zhengzheng was marveling at the strange and bizarre beauty of Tianhai Island, he heard a gurgling sound all around him, as if countless small bubbles were constantly exploding.

Li Xiu looked into the Dead Sea and saw that in the waters near the big ship, there were indeed countless bubbles rising from the bottom of the sea, rushing out of the sea surface and exploding.

What was even more incredible was that at the bottom of the sea, Li Xiu actually saw a hazy light. The light was slowly rising from the deep sea, becoming stronger and stronger, illuminating the nearby sea areas.

The originally black sea water became transparent under the illumination of the light, and you could see the light like a huge sun gradually approaching the sea surface.

Li Xiu had never seen the sun rising from the bottom of the sea in his life, but today he finally witnessed it.

"Goodbye, old friend. It's time for us to go." The president stood at the bow of the boat, called out to Li Xiu, and jumped directly into the shining sea.

Li Xiu was a little confused. The Tianhai Island was right above his head, so why did the president jump into the sea?

I watched the president gradually sink to the huge ball of light at the bottom of the sea, which was like the sun, in the sea with countless bubbles rising up, and then gradually melt into that light.

Li Xiu walked to the bow and was about to jump in, but he heard the strange man behind him say, "This is your last chance. It's not too late to turn back now."

Li Xiu said nothing and just jumped down.

Although the road ahead is still invisible, Li Xiu wants to know what is ahead. He doesn't want to live in a circle all his life.

After Li Xiu's body fell into the sea, he found that the water was not as strong as he had imagined.

I don’t know if the sea water here is different from the Dead Sea water in other places, or if it is affected by the light of the sunlight ball at the bottom and loses its horrible corrosiveness. Li Xiu feels that the sea water here is no different from ordinary sea water.

Although there are bubbles everywhere, the temperature of the sea water is not high.

Li Zheng was thinking in the water, but suddenly he felt a huge suction force pulling his body towards the huge ball of light below.

Li Xiu did not resist, allowing the force to pull his body down quickly. His vision was completely occupied by the light in a short period of time. There was only white light in front of his eyes, and he could not see anything else.

Crash!

Not long after, Li Xiu suddenly felt as if his body had left the sea, and the white light in front of his eyes disappeared.

As his vision gradually returned, Li Xiu was surprised to find that he had actually arrived next to the Tianhai Island. The president was standing on the white beach and waving at him.

Li Xiu quickly looked up and saw darkness, like the pitch-black night sky, but Li Xiu knew that it was not the real night sky, but the Dead Sea.

This made Li Xiu feel like he was in a dream: "Is that the Dead Sea or the sky? Is that the ball of light rising from the Dead Sea a ball of light or the sun? If you look at it from here, anyone would think it is the sun, right?"

But the sun has now disappeared. Although the sky is dark and without light, it is as bright as day on the Tianhai Island.

Li Xiu walked out of the sea step by step and came to the president. He did not have time to appreciate this miraculously beautiful island, because opposite the president stood a demon spirit wearing clothes.

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

Moreover, the clothes it wore were obviously not made of light energy, but were made of ordinary cloth.

A horse or unicorn is wearing a strange suit, which looks strangely very decent. This demon looks like a gentleman wearing a suit, tie and a top hat.

The only thing that was a bit inconsistent was that the top hat had a hole in it due to the horn, otherwise the hat couldn't be worn on his head.

"Is he the one you chose?" The strange evil spirit looked Li Xiu up and down with a pair of shining eyes and actually spoke in human language.

"Yes." The president had a smile on his face.

"It doesn't look very good. It's even worse than the one you brought last time." The demon spirit said with a pout.

“Whether it’s good or not, you won’t know until you try it.” The president said casually.

"That's right. The sooner you die, the sooner it ends." The demon yawned, as if he had played mahjong all night last night. He looked very depressed: "Human, do you know the rules?"

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

Mo Ling was slightly startled when he heard what Li Xiu said, then he laughed again: "I forgot that he can't tell you the rules in advance."

"Okay, then I'll waste some time and tell you the rules." The demon said, turned around and raised one of its front hooves, pointed at the mountain on the island and said: "Going up the mountain from here, you will pass through seven peaks. There is a guardian on each peak. You can continue to move forward after defeating the guardian. As long as you have the ability to pass these seven peaks, you can reach Tianhai Palace. At that time, whether you live or die will depend on your fate."

"What does it mean to tell fortunes?" Li Xiu frowned.

"Your real opponent is in Tianhai Palace, but with your strength, it is impossible to defeat her, so it depends on her mood and whether she will spare your life." The demon spirit added: "But in my opinion, you don't stand a chance. With your level, you will definitely die on the first peak."

"Let's go quickly. I'll help you collect the body later. I still need to catch up on some sleep." The demon spirit said as he walked towards the mountain.

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

Li Xiu looked at the president with a strange expression. He talked about himself as being so awesome, but when he arrived at Tianzhihai, he didn't even dare to go up the mountain and could only stand by the sea and wait.

Li Xiu originally thought that the president and the peerless boss of Tianzhihai would meet and have a debate, but who knew that he couldn't even get through the door. Not to mention the peerless boss, not even a serious demon spirit came, so he just sent a gatekeeper over.

"Is the president bragging or not?" Li Xiu felt that the president's behavior was a little different from what he boasted about.

The evil spirit led Li Xiu toward the mountain, and only then did Li Xiu have the mood to take a closer look at the Tianhai Island.

It is a little different from the Tianhai Island seen from the outside. From here, you can find that there are stone steps on the top of those peaks. The stone steps are carved according to the mountain terrain, winding up to the top of the mountain, and leading all the way along the mountain to the distant peaks, just like a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws entwined on the continuous mountains. You can't see the end at a glance, and the mountains and stone steps are looming in the clouds.

"The guardian of this First Peak is named Ruo Ruo. After you die, you must remember this name, otherwise you won't know who killed you and end up suing the wrong person." The demon spirit said as he walked.

"You are the fucking weak one, your whole family is weak." A thunderous angry roar came from the top of the mountain, almost breaking Li Xiu's eardrums.

Looking up, he saw a lion-like demon spirit with a dazzling golden body standing at the end of the stone steps. It was emitting golden light, illuminating the entire mountain like gold. At this moment, it was staring angrily at the unicorn-like demon spirit beside Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was not interested in watching their internal fight. He glanced around and found that the golden divine light from the guardian demon spirit could not even illuminate beyond the mountain.

Obviously, there is a magical power on top of this mountain that confines all power on the mountain. Their battle may not be able to spread outside the mountain.

"I am signing up to challenge the Golden King, the guardian of the first of the Seven Peaks of Haitian." The demon spirit that looked like a golden lion stared at Li Xiu and shouted.
