When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 983 - 379: Micro City
Li Xiu had seen all sorts of cities, but a city like this, he truly encountered for the first time.
The entire city was just a little bigger than a football field. The city gate tower wasn't even as high as Li Xiu's calf, let alone the buildings inside, most of which were much lower than the gate tower.
While the city was small, it wasn't too small, much larger and more exquisite than a child's sand castle. Most buildings had brick and wood structures with beautifully painted eaves and beams.
But if one were to say it was big, that wouldn't be right either. Li Xiu's foot was about the same size as a house inside, making him feel either like he had arrived in a land of tiny people or had become a giant himself.
There were thousands upon thousands of houses inside the city, yet strangely, not a single silhouette could be seen, as if it were a city of sand models.
Li Xiu looked carefully at the city gate, where two Demon Text characters were carved, which presumably meant Micro City, though this was merely Li Xiu's translation based on its meaning. The actual name should be far more elegant than Li Xiu's translation.
"This is Micro City, truly a city as its name suggests." Ah Fei said, observing the miniature city before them.
"This should indeed be the place, the Divine Position Demon Spirit is within this Micro City." Li Xiu spoke as he walked towards the city gate.
In front of the city gate was a plaza paved with stone slabs, flanked by gardens on both sides. A stone road led straight to the city gate, with a stone bridge in the middle, beneath which flowed a blue-green moat.
Once Li Xiu and Ah Fei stepped onto the stone road, the further they walked, the larger the buildings seemed to grow. By the time they reached the stone bridge, everything around them had returned to normal size.
As the two stepped onto the stone bridge, reaching its highest point, they suddenly noticed that the previously empty-looking Micro City was now bustling with people, with a lively throng coming and going through the city gate.
Despite knowing from the data about Micro City's wonders, Li Xiu couldn't help but marvel: "This Micro City really is nature's marvel, so ingeniously constructed that I can't discern whether we've shrunk or if the city has grown."
"I think it's probably us who've shrunk." Ah Fei said.
"Perhaps. Once inside, follow my instructions. Those micro people generally don't attack humans, but be sure not to violate any of their taboos." Li Xiu advised.
The people within Micro City appeared human, but in fact, they were a type of magical being called demon spirits.
These micro people generally didn't possess high levels, but according to the records, Micro City housed two Divine Position level micro people—the king and queen of Micro City.
However, Li Xiu wasn't there to kill their king and queen; his target wasn't within Micro City but rather beneath it.
Beneath Micro City lay a Divine Position level demon spirit, which was the true target Li Xiu came to eliminate this time.
As for the micro people, although they were demon spirits themselves, they looked indistinguishable from humans, plus, they wouldn't seek to kill humans as long as their taboos aren't breached. If peaceful coexistence is possible, Li Xiu had no desire to become their enemy.
And of course, another reason was the mighty king and queen of Micro City, described in the president's records as formidable Divine Positions, yet no documentation existed about their powers.
After entering the Micro City, it was festively decorated, as if celebrating some holiday. Street shops were festooned with red lanterns, surrounded by hawkers, with nearly everyone appearing jubilant.
Li Xiu and Ah Fei moved along with the crowd, remaining silent as they walked.
They weren't unwilling to speak; rather, speaking might expose their identities if overheard by the micro people, and silence was the best way to avoid trouble.
Fortunately, from the outside, Micro City seemed small, hardly resembling a city. But once inside, its size was unimaginable, comparable to top-tier metropolises. The population was vast, and mutual unfamiliarity was common, so no one gave particular notice to two strangers.
The journey proceeded smoothly, and the two, while walking, observing, soon found themselves in the city's central area.
It was even more bustling here, with many micro children setting off fireworks and firecrackers. It was exactly like a human city.
As they moved down the street, suddenly a person appeared before them, blocking Ah Fei's way, speaking energetically, gesturing vigorously.
Ah Fei couldn't understand what he said, and although she could have understood, she wouldn't reply. Instead, she raised her hand, pointing to her mouth and ear, then shaking her hand, indicating to the micro person that she was deaf and mute.
She thought this gesture would make the person leave, but upon knowing Ah Fei was deaf and mute, he didn't retreat, continuing to gesture at her.
Ah Fei's head started to ache; she wasn't actually deaf or mute and hadn't learned sign language, unable to decipher his gestures, so she turned to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu's head was spinning too. He had learned Demon Text, but while the micro people's written language was Demon Text, their spoken language wasn't Demon Speech, having borrowed Demon Kingdom's writing but retained their native tongue for speaking.
