Those who reincarnate must die.

Upon hearing the cough, Zhang Lang immediately turned around and saw a person lying in the corner, only half of their body remaining!

But he's still alive!

Zhang Lang rushed forward and helped the seriously injured man up, only to discover that it was Zhang Lang himself!

This guy, relying on the robust physique of a reincarnated being, clung to his last breath until Zhang Lang arrived. Beside him lay his usual giant crossbow, but it was severely damaged... the crossbow arm was bent, the string was snapped, and it was unusable.

"Zhang Lang, what's going on?! How can I save you?"

Zhang Lang was at a loss for what to do. Looking at Zhang Lang, who was still bleeding and could die at any moment, he wished he could give him his own abilities so that he could heal himself and come back to life immediately!

"Don't worry about me..." Zhang Lang waved his hand weakly, "Don't waste time! Listen to me!"

Zhang Lang was stunned, gripped Zhang Lang's hand tightly, and nodded.

"The enemy..." Zhang Lang coughed, "is the Chen Clan!"

"The Chen Clan?!" This was a name Zhang Lang had never heard of before.

"I know you think I'm your compatriot, and also a native of this world..."

Zhang Lang shook his head: "Actually, no, I'm a reincarnator from the main world! I'm here on a mission!"

"What?!"

Zhang Lang was shocked to hear this. This Zhang Lang, who had always helped him, was actually the one he hated most—a reincarnator from the main world? On a mission? Weren't the missions of these reincarnators only destruction and killing?

Unaware of Zhang Lang's shock, Zhang Lang used his last strength to say, "And my mission is to help repair this world that was destroyed by the Chen Clan..."

"Destroyed by the Chen Clan...?"

Zhang Lang recalled the group of people who entered this world and released the poisonous fog back then; that group was the Chen Clan.

"Aren't you a reincarnator?"

"The Chen Clan are also reincarnators!" Zhang Lang shook his head:

"But they're different from us!"

"I only recently learned that above the altar, there are twelve parallel planes... These twelve great planes are parallel worlds formed by twelve different species that evolved intelligence and formed civilizations. And each of these parallel planes, due to differences in culture, technology, and so on, has split into countless smaller worlds, which are the worlds where we usually do our quests and adventures..."

"Twelve...species?"

"Yes..." Zhang Lang swallowed hard. "So, when we do missions, no matter which world we go to, the dominant intelligent beings are basically humans, because we all belong to the Shen race, which are intelligent beings evolved from apes. As for the other universes, they are arranged according to the twelve earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, You, Xu, Hai... To be precise, the twelve earthly branches were summarized by our ancient ancestors after they witnessed the intelligent races in other universes!"

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up: "So the Chen Clan is also... the Dragon Clan?!"

"To be precise, they are a group of intelligent life forms that evolved from archosaurs, commonly known as dinosaurs... They are a group of dinosaur-men!"

"And in each of these great universes, there exists a great altar. This great altar, with its own universe's main world as its core, selects the dead from countless parallel worlds to be reborn and distributed to a thousand smaller altars. It assigns them missions, sending them to travel through different worlds, cooperating, competing, and constantly growing stronger. Only the best among them can become heroes, gain even greater power, and thus become true warriors of the altar!"

"Only these heroes know of the existence of other universes and receive missions involving higher levels... The twelve great universes use the altar as a platform to select heroes and fight each other. As for what the battles are for, what they are fighting for, I don't know... Vivi and I came here this time to complete the trial mission to advance to hero level, to help the people here expand their territory and rebuild their homes... so we learned some information in advance..."

"When we arrived, we learned from the mission description that... this world was once the altar of our Shen clan, a key source of soldiers for their training. This is because the proportion of people in this world who are born with powerful supernatural abilities is extremely high, and many powerful reincarnators come from here! The recruitment rate of reincarnators in this world is second only to the main world!"

"But later, the Chen Clan discovered this place. To prevent the Shen Clan from becoming stronger, they used special rules to secretly come here and carry out a genocide against you!"

"But this time, not everyone in this world was killed. One person survived and became a Reincarnator, growing at an unbelievable speed... This matter somehow attracted the attention of the Chen Clan... and these dinosaur-men returned to this world once again, attempting to assassinate this still-growing Reincarnator!"

"That's you, Zhang Lang!!"

Zhang Lang's pupils suddenly contracted... So, does that mean the deaths of these survivors were all because he attracted the enemy?!

"You don't need to blame yourself for this!"

Zhang Lang noticed Zhang Lang's emotions and said weakly:

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime... The real criminals are those enemies who will stop at nothing to achieve victory!"

"Where did they go?" Zhang Lang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the dying Zhang Lang.

"Don't go now! You're not strong enough!"

Zhang Lang, with strength he didn't know he came from, turned around and grabbed Zhang Lang:

"Old Ma is dead, Xiaoman is dead, Weiwei... is dead too!"

At this point, the sunny boy couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"At the last moment, Vivi used her skill to send me here, hoping I would survive... Originally, even if the mission failed, I could have returned to the altar at any time, but without Vivi, I simply cannot survive... I used my ability to feign death to stay alive, just to wait for you to come back!"

"I'm telling you this not so you can go and die now, but so you..."

At this point, Zhang Lang coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, but he still insisted on continuing:

"What you need to do is live on! Become stronger than anyone else, become a hero, and avenge your people, and avenge me and Vivi!!!"

After shouting those words, Zhang Lang's last bit of energy dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that the reincarnated being was on the verge of death, Zhang Lang gritted his teeth, the bloodshot in his eyes faded, and suppressed his anger: "I promise you..."

"Okay...okay..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Lang's eyes began to glaze over, and he reached out to grab at the air.

"Weiwei, you...you've come to pick me up...you've come..."

As he uttered the last word, his hand fell limply to his side...

Zhang Lang raised his hand and closed his eyelids, sighed softly, stood up, turned his head, and his eyes had returned to their blood-red color!

"I promise... I'll avenge you!!"
