Those who reincarnate must die.

"You're awake?"

Hearing Xu's voice after so long, Zhang Lang's tone revealed a hint of joy.

"Not only did I wake up, but I also brought good news and bad news!"

There seemed to be a hint of smugness in his tone:

Which one would you like to hear first?

"Okay then!" Zhang Lang said casually, seemingly unconcerned.

"The good news is, I've found another special rule mission! This is a great opportunity to earn points!"

"A special mission to earn points?" Zhang Lang thought for a moment, "Like that battle royale game from last time?"

"It's somewhat similar, but it's a different set of rules, and there aren't as many people!" Xu chuckled. "Most importantly, this time the rules also prohibit weapons and items, which is very advantageous for you!"

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is..."

He paused for a few seconds:

"Heroes participated in this mission!"

"Oh?" Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow slightly. "For me, this is all good news!"

"Don't underestimate a hero!" Xu reminded him.

"You are indeed very powerful, but a Hero-level Reincarnator is not someone to be trifled with! If it were someone who had only recently become a hero, you could handle them. But if it were a seasoned veteran who had been navigating the hero realm for many years, your current abilities would be insufficient!"

"I didn't underestimate any hero!" Zhang Lang grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"I just wanted to kill him!"

"Alright, it seems you agree!" Xu chuckled. "Then let's put the lion down and go get something to eat to prepare!"

"No!"

Zhang Lang slammed the stone lion, which was taller than him, onto the ground. Then, he kicked down the gate of the yamen (government office), grabbed it, and bit off a piece of thick wood with his iron teeth. He crunched and swallowed it, splintering wood chips all over his face.

In this way, the sturdy wooden door was like a giant wafer in Zhang Lang's hands, and he ate off a corner in just a few bites.

"I'm full, let's go!" Zhang Lang wiped his mouth, then spat out a copper nail with a "pui" sound.

This series of actions surprised even Xu: "Is that Devourer's talent really that useful? Is wood really that delicious?"

"It doesn't taste good!" Zhang Lang answered honestly, "but I'm not a picky eater!"

"Alright... now that you're ready, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black flame climbed up Zhang Lang's body, and a moment later, he disappeared on the spot.

The scene before Zhang Lang changed, and after it stabilized, he found himself sitting in a simple, antique-style domed hall. Besides him, there were two men and two women sitting in the hall.

In front of their seats was a huge weapon display case containing five pieces of equipment: a bow, a sword, a shield, a staff, and a spear. The weapons gleamed with a faint magical light; they were clearly not ordinary items!

At this moment, apart from Zhang Lang, the other four people were still somewhat dazed. According to Xu, this was a normal side effect after traveling through worlds. Usually, the nerves would be in a daze for a few seconds. Generally speaking, the stronger the tolerance, the faster the recovery. Zhang Lang's special physique and enhancement made him almost unaffected. Now he had time to observe the others!

"Who are they?" Zhang Lang wondered to himself.

"Also a being subject to reincarnation!"

Upon hearing Xu's reply, Zhang Lang almost lunged out to deliver the fatal blow, but Xu's words of dissuasion immediately echoed in his mind.

"Don't act rashly. This time, they are your teammates!"

"Teammates?" Zhang Lang was taken aback. "I don't need teammates!"

"No! You need to!" Xu explained, "The rules of this mission are special. Even if you attack, you can't actually kill them. In the end, you'll only fail your mission and not earn any points! If you don't want to waste this special opportunity, it's best to cooperate with them!"

"I don't want to cooperate with reincarnators!" Zhang Lang gritted his teeth. "If I had known this was the rule, I wouldn't have come!"

"Tch!" Xu scoffed at his persistence. "You've used the power of other reincarnators to kill other reincarnators plenty of times before. You were pretty good at using their strength against them, weren't you?"

"That's different..." Zhang Lang frowned!

"Nothing's different this time. This time, there are enemies too, not just teammates!" Xu explained.

"Just treat them as tools to eliminate your enemies! Your real goal isn't to kill as many reincarnators as possible, but to earn more points and strengthen yourself. Even if you can't harm their tentacles this time, one day they'll become beings that even the altar can't control. Then, whether you want revenge or whatever, it's up to you, isn't it?"

Xu's words made Zhang Lang narrow his eyes. In the past, when he saw reincarnators, he would try his best to kill them. But today he had to fight alongside them, which made him feel a little uncomfortable!

"Believe me, without these people's help, you couldn't complete the mission, and you might even die here!" Xu continued to persuade, "Think about your hatred, think about Xiaoya. Your true goal was never to kill, but to become stronger, to restore life to your world, and to bring Xiaoya back to human form!"

After listening to Xu's advice, Zhang Lang suppressed his anger and disgust, obediently sat down, and glanced at his four "teammates".

First, there were two men.

One was an Asian man in his early twenties, tall and slender with delicate features and excellent body proportions, long arms and legs... If it wasn't natural, then he had probably received enhancements in agility!

The other was a chubby white male, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, of medium height, with small eyes and a red nose. He seemed to enjoy a drink; he had a large belly, but his hands and feet were relatively slender, suggesting he wasn't particularly skilled in strength or combat. If he were an experienced reincarnator, he would likely be the type who didn't rely on physical fighting.

As for the two women, one was a Black girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, slender, with short hair tied in braids, dressed casually, and looked unremarkable, just like any other middle school student you could see anywhere...

The last one was a white woman around twenty-five years old. She was quite tall for a woman, not overweight, but with well-defined muscles and low body fat, indicating she had undergone rigorous training. She had regular, angular features and long blonde hair tied in a high ponytail at the back of her head, exuding a heroic air...

Although it's difficult to fully judge a Reincarnator's physical abilities based solely on appearance, if we were to say which of these four people is most likely to be a Hero-level individual, Zhang Lang would favor this female warrior!

It wasn't just because of her well-developed muscles, but also because of her noticeably more capable demeanor.

Sure enough, the woman was the first to regain consciousness. Her eyes cleared, and she instantly stood up from her chair. Although she didn't make any big movements, she subtly assumed a fighting stance and began to survey the room and the remaining four people.

When she noticed that Zhang Lang had also woken up and was sitting steadily, calmly looking at her, a look of surprise was clearly on her face.

"When did you recover?" The woman stared at Zhang Lang's face.

"A little earlier than you!" Zhang Lang replied casually.

The woman didn't panic upon hearing this; instead, she nodded: "It seems our chances of winning are quite high this time!"

As they were talking, the other three also came to their senses and began to examine the room's furnishings.

"Is this the preparation room for the competition?"

The young man from the East looked excited, while the other two didn't react much.

They didn't seem surprised. Clearly, these special rules were something the reincarnators participated in voluntarily, and they had prepared themselves mentally beforehand.

After everyone regained consciousness, the chandelier on the dome of the room suddenly began to deform, and a crystal ball floated down from it, shining with a soft light and projecting a holographic image into the air.

"Welcome everyone to the Rift Showdown! You are all true warriors to have dared to participate in this death game. Before explaining the rules, I would like to confirm something with you one last time."

"Participating in the Canyon Showdown is life-threatening. Are you all sure you want to participate? If you want to withdraw, press the red button on your seat. This is your last chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the holographic image began to display a countdown.

The five people here are all reincarnators, so they have no choice. The countdown will soon reach zero.

"Alright, next up is the explanation of the rules for the Rift Showdown..."
