Those who reincarnate must die.

Although the Goddess of Light only unleashed two attacks, they caused heavy casualties among the Reincarnators...

The injured reincarnators immediately began bandaging their wounds and drinking the potion. Tuka was alright; he only had burns on the skin and flesh of his shoulder, and the potion would help him recover in no time.

Angelica, Zhao Ying, and Olissis are completely crippled. This kind of limb loss cannot be recovered without regenerative abilities. They can only wait for the mission to end and return to the altar for treatment... Angelica and Zhao Ying are fine, but Olissis has lost both legs and now even moving is a problem!

This once arrogant young man now stared blankly at his bare thighs, his lips trembling. He was completely devoid of his previous arrogance, whether from pain or shock, it was hard to tell...

As for Thunder and Michiko, although they were not physically injured, their equipment was severely damaged and unlikely to be repaired in this world, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness...

In just two attacks, lasting only a dozen seconds, the Radiant Goddess of the final ninth level inflicted a tremendous psychological trauma on the Reincarnators.

"This is the final boss..." The maned wolf's face twitched, and it gritted its teeth, saying, "There aren't any small monsters on this ninth floor; the final boss is right there when you open the door! And it should be a powerful monster!"

"Huh?" Xie Yun-kui was taken aback. "What does this have to do with me?"

"I wasn't talking about you!" Maned Wolf glared at him. "'Da Kui' is a general term used in the altar to refer to exceptionally powerful monsters, implying a monster leader. It's kind of slang among hero-level monsters! And to become a Da Kui, you generally need to be worth at least 5,000 points!"

"A monster worth over 5,000 points?" The others were shocked! A monster worth 1,000 points was already considered top-tier in their eyes. This time, the bounty for the lords on the seventh and eighth floors could reach 3,000 points, making them unprecedentedly powerful enemies... a monster worth 5,000 points?

Let alone the sacrifices, even the novice heroes of Altar Thirty-Six have never seen a monster of this level!

"Doesn't that mean that if I kill her, I can directly receive the advancement mission?" Upon hearing the price, Da Kui became very interested in Da Kui.

"Only if you can actually do it!" The maned wolf rolled its eyes at him. "Being worth that many points usually means terrifying power! Judging from the destructive power of those few white lights from the Goddess of Radiance, she's not weak even among the Great Kui... And this is a Level 3 world! To get a rating of over 5,000 points here... I have no choice but to give up!"

As he spoke, Mane Wolf glanced at Zhang Lang; his words were actually meant to persuade him!

"I told you not to open that door!" Zhao Ying, whose arm was half severed and who had just drunk some medicine, pointed at Zhang Lang with his remaining arm and complained, "Now look what happened! You created some invincible big boss! Everyone's rewards are gone, are you happy now?"

As Zhao Ying was cursing angrily, Zhang Lang turned and glared at him, which startled the guy so much that he immediately withdrew his outstretched hand, seemingly afraid that he would lose this one too...

"Get this straight!" Zhang Lang's gaze swept over everyone, and he pointed to the open portal behind him: "Apart from Thunder, none of you had a chance to see this portal in the first place!"

"You..." The heroes were speechless for a moment.

Although Zhang Lang's words were harsh, they undeniably held some truth... Judging from their performance along the way, he could have fought his way here on his own if he had been able to buy the Lucky Pencil. Without Zhang Lang, relying solely on themselves, not to mention the various bizarre monsters along the way... even if they were lucky enough to find the third brother, they most likely wouldn't be able to get past those three monsters!

"I advise you not to be impulsive!" the maned wolf continued. "Don't even mention us, even a complete team of heroes before the 30th would have to be careful if they encountered Da Kui! A slight mistake could result in casualties, or even total annihilation! You are a very promising sacrifice. As long as you successfully advance to the hero level, your future is limitless. I advise you not to be impulsive. It's not worth risking your life for the reward of a single mission..."

Zhang Lang knew that Mane Wolf meant well, and sighed, "Let's go back first!"

The maned wolf, assuming he had figured it out, nodded: "That's right. Besides, this maze is so huge. Even if the Goddess of Radiance really does escape in a few days, finding the exit won't be easy... We might not actually be able to storm the City of Radiance!"

He was also saying this to the others; it must be said, this guy looks somewhat sinister, but he's actually a decent person...

After resting and replenishing their supplies in the eighth-floor lord's room for a while, the group began their return journey along the same path they had come from...

Since they had all passed through the portal from the eighth to the ninth floor, the exit and entrance of this maze were marked on the badge's map. At least the route they came from was saved, so they wouldn't get lost if they followed the map.

Although Angelica and Zhao Ying were injured, it didn't affect their mobility. The problem was Olisis, who had lost both legs, but the strong warrior Tuka volunteered to carry him. For a hero with fire-attribute specialization like him, carrying someone, especially someone missing legs, was practically the same as carrying nothing.

Somewhat surprisingly, the usually arrogant Olissis remained silent in the face of Tuka's help, acting like a puppet. Even on Tuka's back, his eyes were unfocused, and he remained silent, seemingly lost in thought… It seems that being instantly killed by the Goddess of Light was a significant blow to him…

The group returned quickly, saving time by not having to stop to drop pencils. Zhang Lang also easily defeated most of the monsters they encountered along the way, making the journey much faster and more efficient. In the end, they returned to the entrance to the eighth floor in less than half the time it took them to get there.

Next, the group traversed the layers of underground palaces, ascending upwards, and by the time they returned to the surface, it was already the afternoon of the following day…

The heroes settled the wounded in rooms and then came to collect their rewards.

This time, the identification was much simpler, as the reward materials were all identical spherical crystals, differing only in size. The appraiser measured them with his tools and then announced the reward according to the standards.

However, because it's a 3D map, the monster density on the eighth floor isn't high, and since they took the shortcut, they didn't encounter many monsters along the way. After the heroes finished exchanging their items, they left with just over a thousand coins, averaging around a hundred coins per person…

As for Zhang Lang, there are many more...

He didn't encounter many monsters along the way, but he dealt with most of the powerful ones. So, although the quantity was less than the heroes' loot, the size and quality far surpassed it. Adding the super-large gem from the final boss, Zhang Lang ended up taking away over six thousand gold coins in this one go!

Of course, money wasn't the only reward. After receiving the money, he also reported the situation on the ninth floor to the old scholar at the exchange office!
