When 'God' Decides To Start Over
Chapter 122 - 92: Dark Maze

Chapter 122: Chapter 92: Dark Maze

The conditions for opening the Purgatory Gate Trial Ground are extremely stringent. The entire gate has seventy-two slots, meaning seventy-two gemstones are needed to open the Trial Gate, which is a much higher requirement than the average Trial Gate.

A standard Trial Gate can be opened with more than ten gemstones, and the Sea Heaven Trial Ground needs thirty-six gemstones. The Purgatory Gate needs seventy-two, which is twice that of the Sea Heaven Trial Ground.

Even more terrifying is that Red Sand City researched for a long time, initially trying various gemstones, but couldn’t open the Purgatory Gate. Until someone suddenly had a flash of inspiration, embedding thirty-six blue gemstones and thirty-six rubies into the Purgatory Gate, which then lit up, showing signs of opening.

In the end, seventy-two one-carat red and blue gemstones barely supported the Purgatory Gate to open a small crevice, too small for even a child to squeeze through, before the gemstone’s energy was completely consumed and the door closed again.

Fortunately, Red Sand City is a renowned worldwide producer of rubies and blue gemstones, and the Red Sand City Lord didn’t mind such an expense, forcing the Purgatory Gate open with gemstones.

It is said that the Red Sand City Lord used thirty-six rubies over three carats and thirty-six blue gemstones over three carats, forcibly opening the Purgatory Gate and sending in a squad of warriors.

Because the cost of opening the Purgatory Gate was too high, that time the Red Sand City Lord sent in over a thousand people, and only one person came out alive in the end.

Since then, the Red Sand City Lord has never opened the Purgatory Gate again. That person who came out alive disappeared from the mortal world, and no one knows what the trial inside the Purgatory Gate entails, except for the Red Sand City Lord.

Li Xiu is quite interested in the Purgatory Gate. The contract inside the Purgatory Gate must be extraordinary. If one can obtain the contract from there, it might be possible to fulfill the pact of life.

Of course, he currently knows nothing about the situation inside the Purgatory Gate, nor does he have enough gemstones to open the Purgatory Gate, and the Red Sand City Lord may not let him use the Purgatory Gate. So, this matter can only wait for an opportunity.

Fortunately, Li Xiu is not in a hurry. Even if he wants to go to the Purgatory Gate, he must first improve his physical condition. Otherwise, if one pays such a heavy price, enters, sees the contract, but can’t take it, wouldn’t that be foolish?

So the current priority is to improve physical fitness.

"Now, being able to use the Zhongshan City’s Hero Trial Ground for free is exactly to my liking. I wonder how strong Chu Jun’s connections are over there, whether they can help me enter the Hero Trial Ground a few times." Li Xiu secretly planned in his heart.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu knocked on Ximen Guan’s door.

"Hey, old man, are you going out today?" Li Xiu asked.

"No, what’s up?" Ximen Guan asked impatiently, showing no intention of inviting Li Xiu in.

"I’m going out for a bit. Here’s something I can’t carry around conveniently. Can you look after it for a while?" Li Xiu was holding the Ghost-faced Magic Armor wrapped in cloth.

With Ah Fei not around, he couldn’t conveniently carry the armor to the trial, nor was he comfortable leaving it in the room.

In these times, who knows what kind of people are in the hotel. If someone took his magic armor, Li Xiu wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

"Put it over there." Ximen Guan finally pulled the door fully open, allowing Li Xiu to place the item in his room.

After Li Xiu left, Ximen Guan closed the door and didn’t even glance at what Li Xiu had left, busying himself with his phone.

"Humph, trying to steal Ximen Guan’s magic armor, do you have a death wish? Once I modify a set of magic armor to serve as the controller of my treasured magic armor, even if you complete the final step, you’ll only make it my wedding dress..." Ximen Guan typed while secretly feeling pleased.

He believed he was undoubtedly a genius, only that making money now was seriously difficult.

"Bullshit, what do you know, energy guidance circulation systems must be done this way. Your double circulation system is just trash, do you understand..." Ximen Guan typed while roaring.

He originally thought with his knowledge of magic armor, earning a bit online to buy a set of magic armor would be no problem.

However, the modification designs he provided were criticized severely by others. The things he talked about were considered outdated, and the perplexing talks by others were unknown to him. Many times, he only knew what it was after searching online.

Having struggled these past few days, Ximen Guan hadn’t earned a cent and all his plans were rejected. Some even called him rubbish, saying he didn’t understand magic armor modification at all.

"How can I get an S-level magic armor? If worse comes to worst, even an A-level would do!" Ximen Guan felt somewhat depressed.

Little did Ximen Guan know, right in his room lay a quietly resting set of S-level magic armor.

As Ximen Guan scratched his head thinking of ways to earn money to buy magic armor, Li Xiu arrived at the back gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.

From afar, he saw Chu Jun waiting for him at the gate. When Chu Jun saw Li Xiu approaching, he quickly came up and handed a number plate to Li Xiu.

"Only ten people can enter the Hero Trial Ground at a time. This is your number plate. Take it over there, and someone will lead you." Chu Jun thought for a moment and then said to Li Xiu, "I heard them say that the Dark Maze below A level isn’t too difficult. As long as you calm down and carefully memorize the route, don’t confuse yourself, the difficulty shouldn’t be too big..."
