Those who reincarnate must die.

Just like last time, Zhang Lang waited inside the altar until the time limit was reached, at which point he was automatically sent back to the main world...

Accompanied by black flames, Zhang Lang reappeared in the toilet stall...

Although he had spent seven days fighting almost non-stop in the mission world, only an hour had passed in the main world, and his exam, which he had submitted early, was still not over!

Zhang Lang wandered around the empty corridor for a while, then remembered that after this exam, today's exams would be over, so he simply left the teaching building and headed towards his dormitory.

On the way, he suddenly saw a girl squatting in the grass by the roadside. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the girl was wearing large black-rimmed glasses, had two braids, and was staring intently at the tree roots by the roadside... Wasn't that Gu Shushu?

Three months ago, Gu Shushu suspected he was hiding something and asked to meet him, after which the two had no contact. Although this girl was a bit neurotic, she didn't seem to like running around. Zhang Lang basically worked after class, so in the past few months, apart from the sports meet, he really hadn't seen Gu Shushu.

Having not spoken for several months, Zhang Lang had no desire to greet him and simply walked past. Gu Shushu, who was engrossed in her conversation, didn't seem to notice him... and even if she had, she probably wouldn't have recognized him. The two passed each other by.

The next two days were still exam week. Xu fell into a deep sleep, and Zhang Lang was undisturbed. He spent most of his time reviewing his lessons and taking exams. He didn't aspire to high grades; just passing and avoiding failing and repeating a year would be enough for him.

After all, a school is a low-cost and safe place to hide.

While he was busy with his final exams, in a secret room in a faraway world, several slender creatures without hands or feet, and with flexible forked tails, gathered together.

These are all Si people. The Si people Zhang Lang encountered before were new Si people who had evolved limbs using Zerg genes, but those with four limbs were a very small minority among the Si heroes. After all, not all heroes participated in this project.

The rooms of the Si tribe are extremely small, especially the doors, which theoretically only require a round hole a few tens of centimeters in diameter. Of course, the Si people who have entered civilization would not compromise their lives like this, but compared to other races born with four limbs, the Si people's buildings and doors and windows still appear much smaller.

As the last member of the Si clan entered, he closed the door tightly with his tail, and the others inside looked at each other.

"Now that we're here, there's no need to hide anymore. Revert to your preferred forms!" The eldest among them spoke, and the other members of the Si tribe began to move, their bodies crackling as tiny hands and feet sprouted.

It turns out that all of these were Si clan members who had undergone modification experiments, meaning they were all hero-level!

However, it was clear that their limbs were not fully developed, unlike those Zhang Lang had encountered, which were strong and long, making them advantageous for combat. Instead, they were thin and short, to the point that they could be retracted into their bodies and hidden away.

After all, for most of the Si tribe, having hands and feet is like humans having tails—both are considered abnormal.

Even these thin, frail hands and feet brought a relaxed expression to the faces of the Si tribe members present, who seemed quite satisfied. After all, growing limbs had always been a long-cherished wish of the Si tribe.

"You're all doing alright!"

The elderly man at the head of the group wore a large cloak, revealing that his hands and feet were mostly intact and needed to be concealed.

"Once everyone's hands and feet have grown back to a similar size, I will officially arrange for the technology company to launch this surgery to the public, so that ordinary members of the Si tribe can also enjoy the convenience brought by hands and feet... At that time, you will no longer need to hide it, and you can walk on the street openly using your hands and feet!"

Upon hearing this news, the Si tribe members excitedly spat out their tongues, wishing that all of them would grow limbs—what a magnificent ambition!

"However, I invited you all here today not for this purpose!"

The old man poked his tail out from under his cloak to reach for the teacup on the table, but stopped halfway through. He then used his small, trembling hand to pick it up, leaned his head close, and took a laborious sip.

"First, I have some unfortunate news to share..." the old man sighed, "The Sword Emperor Cassiesuya has perished!"

"What?!" The other members of the Si clan were shocked upon hearing this: "That was one of the Si clan's top experts, how could he...?"

"Do you remember the main testing ground where we conducted our limb modification experiments?" the old man said.

"That was a world ruled by the Shen clan. We discovered creatures there whose genes were highly compatible with the Si clan. Through research and modification, we found the opportunity for our own evolution, and using special fire enhancement, we turned it into a fixed world that we could visit multiple times! As long as the insect creatures of that world can wipe out the Shen clan, who were originally the rulers, it's not impossible to turn that world into a world occupied by the Si clan!"

The other members of the Si tribe present nodded; what they were referring to was clearly the world to which Sunset Fortress belonged.

"But three months ago, a Shen clan member, presumably a hero-level being, entered that world and killed four of our hero-level beings who were conducting experiments at the time! This delayed our plans and caused us heavy losses. We had thought that the Shen clan member would surely report to the Shen clan's altar and lead more hero-level beings to that world to retaliate."

"But in the end, nothing happened. We controlled the Zerg and continued to encroach on the territory of the Shen Clan in that world. Their native inhabitants were powerless to resist, and no more hero-level reincarnators appeared."

"Clearly, that hero-level being probably thought the problem was solved, so they didn't report it. We've taken advantage of this time to accelerate our research and conquest..."

"But just in case, we used special methods to bring an annihilation bomb into that world. If we encounter another powerful hero-level counterattack from the Shen Clan, we'll detonate the bomb and send them to their deaths!"

"I know about this!" one of the Si tribesmen raised her small hands. "I was the one who helped bring her in!"

The old man nodded: "Just a few days ago, we received intelligence that the insect hives in that world were destroyed in large numbers at an extremely rapid pace! Based on the intelligence that came back, we speculate that it was the Shen Clan members who killed our four hero-level warriors last time!"

"He's back again?" The other members of the Si tribe looked surprised.

"Yes..." the old man nodded, "and it's even stronger than before!"

"At that time, in that world, was the twelfth altar where Kassusia was located... My command was to lure the enemy into the insect hive and detonate the bomb to kill him. But Kassusia was arrogant and proud; he tied the bomb's explosion to his own life. He wanted to fight that Shen tribesman to the death. If he won, he would kill him directly; if he lost and was killed by him, the bomb would detonate at the moment of his death, completely annihilating that Shen tribesman!"

"Finally, according to the information transmitted back from the twelve altars, Kassusua is dead, and the annihilation bomb has detonated!"

"That Sword Emperor actually lost?" Several members of the Si Clan present were quite surprised. "That guy's abilities should have made him invincible in a one-on-one battle!"

"Indeed!" The old man nodded. "That Shen clan expert is even more difficult to deal with than we imagined!"

"But it's over now!" a member of the Si tribe said, flicking his tongue. "No one can survive the power of the annihilation bomb! No matter how powerful he is, he can't threaten us anymore!"

"That's generally how it is!" the elder of the Si clan sighed. "But what if he has a rebirth item? We can't rule out that possibility!"

"If a powerhouse of this caliber truly survives, not only will they become our greatest enemy, but they will also surely report this to the Shen clan's altar, ultimately igniting a war between us and the Shen clan!"

"Because we are born without limbs, our Si clan is considered one of the weakest among the lower five clans... Moreover, there are anti-limb factions within our own ranks who refuse to undergo modification to grow limbs! If we are truly targeted by the experts of the Shen clan, our research, which is at a crucial moment, may have to be halted... Therefore, the reason I have gathered you all here today is that I hope you will put aside your own tasks for the next month and concentrate all your energy on that world, striving to complete the research ahead of schedule. Even if heroes of the Shen clan try to obstruct us, we must repel them immediately and buy time!"

"Even if we don't get any points in that world, for the sake of our Si clan, so that we can change our fate of only being able to fight with our tails and fangs, we must fight this battle with our backs to the wall!"

Upon hearing the elder's words, the other members of the Si clan immediately stood up, raising their small arms: "We will follow the elder's teachings! We will immediately return to mobilize our team members and gather all our strength to head to the testing ground!!"
