Exploring the God Demon City

The birth of Yuan Yi instilled in Dr. Dr. Xin, the leader of the City of Gods and Demons, a deep aversion to Artificial Intelligence. As a result, the entire city-state has always stayed away from the path of high-tech development.

This city, like the God Demon Human that roam within it, appears cold and devoid of warmth, like a steel cage solidified under a strict order.

Because it is underground, the city is very dark, with few lights except for the main roads.

This also allowed Xiao Fan and the others to conceal themselves effectively.

At this moment, the group of them were hiding in a dimly lit alley.

"Ugh, now I finally understand how Shasha and Dingding managed to steal so many God Demon Stones from the Divine Demon City. This place is really good for hiding people. Luckily we chose the Divine Demon City; if we were in the Underground City, the Artificial Intelligence would have detected us as soon as we appeared."

Only then did Blade Shadow realize why Xiao Fan had chosen the City of Gods and Demons.

Hearing him say that, the others became even more curious about what the Underground City was all about.

"The Underground City, ah, it has machine-generated blue skies and white clouds, and a gentle breeze in the air, just like the outside world. But their cities are more technologically advanced, much like the world hundreds of years in the future depicted in movies."

Blade Shadow recalled.

Actually, he didn't remember it very clearly, since they were only focused on escaping and had no time to appreciate the scenery.

"Brother Chen, what should we do now?"

Seeing that Xiao Fan hadn't spoken, the fat man asked.

"I just checked, and we need to obtain the God Demon Stone to exit the secret realm or receive subsequent quests."

Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Brother Chen, where did you see that? Why isn't it showing up on our end?" Zai Zai searched for a long time but couldn't find the system task.

You can see it by clicking "Exit the Secret Realm".

Xiao Fan remembered that the last time they fought in Cyberpunk City, they couldn't exit once they entered the secret realm.

So he immediately chose to exit the secret realm, but the system prompted him that he could only exit the secret realm after obtaining the God Demon Stone.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the others all clicked to exit the secret realm and indeed saw the system notification.

"Obtaining the God Demon Stone allows you to exit the secret realm."

"Really, Brother Chen is amazing, he even noticed that." Han the Person gave Xiao Fan a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

Others:...

Do you think you're so great? Just shut up.

Qin Muyu analyzed.

"Therefore, we need to get the God Demon Stone first. Even if there are other tasks or dangers later on, we can always leave the secret realm."

Others also thought of this.

"But we don't even know where this God Demon Stone is, so where are we going to get it?" Wind Snow Traveler frowned.

"Hehe, I know."

Blade Shadow laughed and said, "In the Cyberpunk City secret realm, only he and Xiao Fan have ever fought against each other."

In order to kill the BOSS Overlord, the Replica Shasha led them to the City of Gods and Demons to steal the God Demon Stone.

He remembered that there were God Demon Stone in the Armory at the gate of the City of Gods and Demons.

"Shall we head to the Armory near the city gate now?" the Zai Zai asked impatiently.

Xiao Fan shook his head.

"No need to go, the God Demon Stone there are useless."

After Shasha stole the God Demon Stone, she gave one to each of them.

Since he had no weapon, Xiao Fan took his God Demon Stone with him out of the secret realm.

Upon seeing the information about the God Demon Stone, Xiao Fan realized that what was embedded in the weapon was not the real God Demon Stone, but rather God Demon Stone Imprint Version.

Xiao Fan guessed that only those embedded in human bodies were the true God Demon Stone.

Or perhaps it wasn't a real God Demon Stone at all.

There may only be one true God Demon Stone.

This was not just Xiao Fan's casual speculation.

The system just notified me that I can exit the secret realm after obtaining the God Demon Stone.

This hint doesn't seem like it contains many God Demon Stones.

Xiao Fan shared his guess with the others.

The Blade Shadow, and the shadowy figure froze.

Holy crap! We're both gamers, so why is he so confident in showing off like that?

He hadn't considered any of the points Xiao Fan mentioned.

"Brother Chen is still the best, even Lao Dao can't do it." Han the Person clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"Shut your mouth." Blade Shadow felt he'd had enough of this sycophant.

How can someone sacrifice their dignity just to win without effort?

"In other words, we can only find the real God Demon Stone if we find Dr. Xin's location."

Qin Muyu spoke,

After Blade Shadow finished telling them the background story of the secret realm, she spent a long time thinking about it by herself last night.

If there's only one God Demon Stone, it must be with Dr. Xin.

Xiao Fan nodded. "Or rather, only he knows where the God Demon Stone is."

Now the problem is, they don't know where Dr. Xin is.

Given how vast the City of Gods and Demons is, and considering they are Complete Human, finding Dr. Xin's location would be extremely difficult.

If the God Demon Human discover that these Complete Human have entered the city of gods and demons, they will definitely issue a city-wide manhunt for them, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the secret realm.

Although Xiao Fan Team was quite strong, they dared not make enemies of the entire God and Demon City.

"What should we do? The God Demon Human have no feelings; we can't bribe them. Why don't we go out of the city and find Shasha and Dingding? They've been dealing with the Underground City and the god and demon city all along; they should know something about the god and demon city."

Blade Shadow suggested.

"No." Xiao Fan immediately rejected Blade Shadow's suggestion.

Putting aside the fact that the city of gods and demons is heavily guarded, their departure would definitely attract attention.

Even Shasha and Dingding might not be able to help them.

It's important to know that after Dr. Ai's clones died, they left the secret realm with the Sands of Time.

The mission of Shasha, Dingding, and the other Replica is to obtain the Sands of Time and restore the world to its original state.

Just as their mission was about to be completed, the Sands of Time were taken away by them. It would be an act of kindness not to kill them upon seeing them again; how could they possibly help them once more?

"That makes sense." Garfield Without Fat, nodded in agreement.

"Huh? Does that mean I'm out of options?" The more Taichu listened, the more he realized how difficult this secret realm was.

Xiao Fan: "There is a solution."

"What method?" Everyone looked at Xiao Fan.

"I'll go find Dr. Xin's residence by myself," Xiao Fan said.

"No way! We can't just watch you go on this adventure alone Brother Chen." Han the Person immediately refused.

Others:...

So you're the only one who stands out?

However, they also felt it was too dangerous for Xiao Fan to go alone. Although he was of a high level, this was the population of an entire city, not just some minor monsters in an ordinary secret realm.

"Don't worry, I have a way to avoid being discovered. It's you guys who are a clear target with so many people; you must hide well."

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, the others were worried but did not insist any further.

This is one of the advantages of Xiao Fan's own team; his teammates are more likely to believe him.

"Brother Chen, be careful. Message us if you're in any danger," the fat man said worriedly.

Xiao Fan nodded. "You guys be careful too."

After saying that, Xiao Fan activated the skill <Silent Shadow Escape> and walked towards the brightly lit road.

Behind them, the fat man and the others stared wide-eyed as they watched Xiao Fan's figure vanish instantly.

"Holy crap, what's wrong with Jiu Chen? How could such a big person disappear in the blink of an eye?" Taichu exclaimed in shock, forgetting to lower his voice.

Realizing this, he quickly covered his mouth.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when no one had noticed him.

Qin Muyu gave him a cold look.

"Be careful, don't let your actions drag down so many of us."

However, Xiao Fan's invisibility just now benefited Qin Muyu quite a bit.

Conceal your presence and appear unexpectedly to deliver a fatal blow.

Wow~ Just thinking about it makes my heart race.

"Perhaps I could try this approach next time I create a skill."

Taichu, feeling guilty, didn't dare to refute.

"Jiu Chen went to gather information, so let's not sit idly by. I see quite a few people living in these alleys. Let's split up and see if we can hear anything," Wind Snow Traveler suggested.

"Okay, that works too. Everyone be careful, and contact us via the current channel if anything happens."

Qin Muyu agreed with Wind Snow Traveler's idea, and the nine of them split up and walked deeper into the alley.

Xiao Fan, concealed, followed the direction of the lights and arrived at the city's main street.

A patrol passed by them without noticing Xiao Fan.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

His skills were fine, but these people had God Demon Stone embedded in their bodies, and Xiao Fan wasn't sure if the power of the gods and demons could see him.

After all, this thing is incredibly magical; it can grant ordinary people eternal life and extraordinary power.

Seeing that invisibility was effective, Xiao Fan boldly began to observe the surrounding scene.

Everyone in the City of Gods and Demons, whether patrollers or others, was dressed in exquisite armor and had serious expressions, as if nothing could affect their emotions.

Xiao Fan hadn't seen a single entertainment venue along his journey.

"Hotels are the best places to gather information, yet God and Demon City doesn't have a single one?"

Xiao Fan was speechless. He had hoped to learn about the City of Gods and Demons by listening to other people's conversations, but there was no one chatting at all.

They seem no different from the robots in the dungeon Underground City.

It is evident that as time goes on, the person who inlaid the God Demon Stone has completely lost human emotions and even human needs.

No wonder those PhDs wanted to leave behind their genes before they died, to clone themselves generation after generation, in order to restore the world to its original state.

This kind of cold, emotionless world is indeed very uncomfortable.

This also significantly increased the difficulty of Xiao Fan's investigation.

"If all else fails, that's my only option."

Xiao Fan looked at a tall building in the distance.

It was the only building in the entire God and Demon City that exceeded three stories, making it stand out prominently against the backdrop of a city with low-rise buildings.

Xiao Fan guessed that it must be an important place in the City of Gods and Demons, and perhaps even the location of Dr. Xin.

Just then, a God Demon Guard ran from a distance and stopped in front of a patrol team that happened to be on patrol.

"Those two Replica are back in God and Demon City. You need to go and provide support immediately."

"Receive."

The patrol team immediately ran towards the city gate.

Xiao Fan behind him frowned.

"Two Replica? Could it be Shasha and Dingding?"

"Dr. Ai is dead, and I took the Sands of Time with me. What are they doing in God and Demon City?"

Driven by curiosity, Xiao Fan followed.
