Those who reincarnate must die.

Zhang Lang left the exchange counter with his suitcase, then went into the bank and deposited all the exchanged banknotes. By this point, he had no gold coins left; they were all in his account. This was all the money he had earned in this world so far.

As he exited the bank, Thunder, missing an arm, was waiting for him at the door: "Finally going to take on the challenge?"

Today marks the eighteenth day since the Reincarnators began their mission, and over one hundred and ten hours have passed since they opened the gates to the ninth level. In just a few more hours, the Goddess of Radiance will break free from the constraints of the rules and leave the ninth level!

For the past few days, Zhang Lang has been spending almost every day on the eighth floor, hunting almost non-stop... But unfortunately, the monster density on the eighth floor is just too low. No matter how hard he tries, he only earns a few thousand gold coins a day, which is even less than on the seventh floor...

However, without Thunder accompanying him, hunting on other levels and collecting loot was enough to keep him busy. This was currently his most efficient way to earn money. To further improve efficiency, he modified the Lucky Pencil's settings, only searching for monsters with bounties exceeding one hundred gold coins, avoiding the embarrassing situation of traveling a long way only to catch a large rat, only to find a crystal the size of a soybean, which could only be exchanged for one gold coin…

Zhang Lang nodded, turned and walked towards the square. He looked up at the towering, sacred statue of the Goddess of Radiance, then looked down at the largest bounty on the notice board at the foot of the statue:

Fallen goddess.

The Goddess of Light sacrificed herself for the sake of human peace, venturing deep into the underground city. However, the underground city corrupted her body, creating a terrifying monster no weaker than the Goddess of Light. She knows all of the Goddess of Light's magic, possesses unparalleled magical power, and is a terrifying evil god who attempts to destroy the world!

To protect the great empire left behind by the Goddess of Light, to prevent the desecration of faith and the defilement of divine remains, warriors, bravely venture into the underground palace and slay this last fallen evil god!

You can get a bounty of six thousand gold coins by bringing back the crown of the Fallen Goddess!

…………

Whether the Goddess of Radiance was tricked by her brother and wanted revenge out of rage, or whether the Goddess of Radiance was already dead and had been corrupted by the underground palace to create a powerful monster, Zhang Lang had no way of knowing... He only knew that this was the last monster he had to kill!

After reviewing the bounty list one last time, Zhang Lang turned around and found Le Xinyi, Ye Peng, Su Mingda, Qin Jie, Xie Yunkui, Michiko, Peng Junxiu... and all the heroes who had explored the eighth level of the fruit with him, standing in the square.

Mane Wolf said that even if the time came, the goddess might not be able to escape the eighth floor... This was just a temporary consolation. Everyone knew that since the altar had given a five-day time limit, the buffer time for the monsters to fight back from the bottom would be very short! If they were really left unchecked, the Goddess of Radiance would probably descend upon the City of Radiance in less than three days, or even just one day!

But they were helpless! Having experienced the power of the Goddess of Light firsthand, they were utterly powerless and could only await their end...

But Zhang Lang is different; he is the only one who has a chance to defeat the ultimate boss!

They knew that Zhang Lang would definitely go, and that he was confident of victory; otherwise, all his efforts to earn points these past few days would have been meaningless.

These past few days, the heroes have had little motivation to hunt, while most of the ordinary sacrifices are still busy hunting monsters on the higher levels to accumulate points. In their view, while the ninth-level boss is powerful, the heroes will naturally handle it; it's not something they need to worry about… To stabilize the emotions of the reincarnators, the heroes haven't announced the news of their initial crushing defeat. Even the crippled ones are trying to stay home as much as possible, lest the ordinary sacrifices panic if they see it…

Zhang Lang's gaze swept over the crowd: "Is this... a farewell?"

No one spoke, not even Zhao Ying, who was usually the most sarcastic. He hesitated to speak, looking at the atmosphere around him.

"Go back, everyone!" Zhang Lang took off his black leather jacket, ammunition pouches, Tiger Roar, and Hunter's Gear and handed them to Le Xinyi: "Keep these safe for me."

Le Xinyi nodded, holding the items. Lei Ting, standing beside her, glanced at her and said, "If it's inconvenient for you to carry them, leave them here. I still have his flamethrower..."

Le Xinyi glanced at him and shook her head.

Zhang Lang, on the other hand, seemed quite composed. Seeing that everyone remained silent, he shrugged, turned, and walked towards the sewer opening. Just as he was about to jump in, Olissis wheeled himself to the front and suddenly shouted, "You have to win!"

Zhang Lang turned around, smiled slightly, gave a thumbs up, and then jumped down into the well.

"You must come back safely!" These were the words of Le Xinyi, but her voice was very soft, only heard by Lei Ting beside her, who emphasized in his ruthless electronic voice, "Definitely..."

Zhang Lang traversed the sewers, passed through layers of underground palaces, and finally arrived at the eighth-level lord's room, crossing the last teleportation portal!

The moment Zhang Lang stepped through the door, he heard a melodious song:

O merciful Mother Goddess, please hear my prayer!

Your people are suffering!

The barren fields were overgrown with weeds, and the azure sky was shrouded in gloom!

O merciful Mother Goddess, please hear my prayer!

Your people are searching for a way to survive!

Rampaging monsters are trampling our village, and ferocious alien races have taken away people's homes!

O merciful Mother Goddess, please hear my prayer!

Your people are determined to rebel!

Strong men took up weapons and shields, and resilient daughters supported their families!

O merciful Mother Goddess, please hear my prayer!

Your people are heading to the battlefield!

We do not need your food or livestock, we only ask that you bestow your grace and grant us a glorious victory!

…………

The singer was none other than the Goddess of Radiance. This stunningly beautiful woman had folded her exaggerated wings and was now dressed in a pure white dress. She sat in the center of the venue, hugging her knees, and singing with her head held high, just like an ordinary young girl.

Zhang Lang stood at the door and listened as she finished singing the song.

He was very familiar with the melody. These days, he could hear this tune all the time as he walked through the streets and alleys of the East District. It could be said to be the most popular song in the City of Radiance... However, the lyrics were not quite the same.

The benevolent mother goddess has been transformed into a holy and radiant goddess, and the suffering, resistance, and war within have been replaced with scenes of happiness and peace. Although the melodies are largely the same, the atmosphere is very joyful!

"Does it sound good?"

The Goddess of Radiance had clearly noticed Zhang Lang entering long ago: "This is my favorite song when I was still outside... You can't hear it anymore, can you?"

"I can't hear it anymore..." Zhang Lang nodded. "So, you want this song to be sung again?"

"No..." The Goddess of Radiance stood up, her six pairs of wings unfurling one by one, and she slowly floated up: "I want them to remember for themselves!"

"Well... I'm afraid they won't be too willing..." Zhang Lang shook his head: "Sorry, I'm here to kill you!"

"I know!" The Goddess of Light smiled slightly, "But you don't need to apologize, because you will die here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the wings on the back of the Radiant Goddess, who was already high in the sky, fluttered and energy began to gather. At the same time, Zhang Lang jumped towards the Radiant Goddess!

The ultimate showdown is about to begin!
