Those who reincarnate must die.

Chapter 726 Heartbreak Changes the World

"The moon?" Zhang Lang looked up. It was still early, but with his eyesight, he could still see the moon hanging in the clear sky.

"To be precise, it's something on the moon..." Vasak explained, his breathing even.

"Based on your description, the key to the world cycle lies in a woman named Cynthia. I used this as a starting point to find traces of that power!"

"That woman herself wasn't anything special. The reason she was chosen by the power was simply because the night before, she drank too much and made a wish to the moon..."

"She had just broken up with her boyfriend and wanted to start over... but perhaps because she was drunk, she said some extreme things, something like she didn't want to live anymore, or that life wasn't worth living... By some twist of fate, that mysterious force interpreted it as her wishing that if she died, everything would come rushing at her..."

"You made a wish?" Zhang Lang looked astonished. "Just that simple?"

"It's that simple..." Vasak nodded.

Zhang Lang still found it somewhat absurd: "Thousands of people make wishes to the moon every day, how come only hers was granted?"

"I don't know either..." Vasak shook his head. "It can only be explained by coincidence, like winning the lottery. Hundreds of millions of people buy tickets, but only one person wins..."

"Then why was she killed?" Zhang Lang continued, "And what was that force that kept killing her?"

"Well, you could think of it as a limiter on the power of wish-granting," Vasak explained, trying to use more easily understandable language. "I don't know where that power that can grant people's wishes comes from, but obviously, such a powerful force shouldn't be abused. Therefore, it comes with some kind of limiting device."

"Simply put, the power to make a wish doesn't work easily, but once it's triggered, the limiting device will be activated to prevent serious consequences, and the power will destroy the person who made the wish."

"But unexpectedly, this woman's wish was identified as the world reverting to its previous state after her death. So, as soon as the limiter killed her, the wish took effect, endlessly repeating itself..."

"This... sounds like a bug?" Having lived in the main world for over a year, Zhang Lang had also come into contact with video games, and Vasak's explanation made him think of bugs in games.

"That's one way to understand it," Vasak agreed with Zhang Lang's statement. "That power that can grant people's wishes is very strong, but it doesn't have much intelligence itself. You can think of it as a program that runs mechanically as long as the conditions are met... This girl named Cynthia is just an ordinary girl, but by chance she triggered this mysterious power and entered this vicious cycle..."

"The power of wishing..." Zhang Lang looked up at the moon, remembering what Cynthia had told him. The only major thing that had happened to her recently was that she had been dumped by her boyfriend... At the time, Zhang Lang hadn't thought much of it, but he never expected that it was actually the reason for the world reset?!

Zhang Lang pointed to the moon: "Once we're up there, can you provide a more precise location?"

Vasak nodded. "But first you need to figure out how to get up there... Are you planning to hijack a rocket? There aren't many countries in this world that can land on the moon in a few hours..."

"No need..." Zhang Lang shook his head: "Let's go directly..."

"What?" Vasak looked surprised. This was the main world, unlike Hell. The sun was just a giant fireball in the form of a demon god, only a few hundred kilometers away from the ground... The moon here was a real celestial body, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the ground, with the vast space in between without any medium. How could they get up there?

Just as he was in shock, two policemen came up and looked at Zhang Lang, and at Vasak, who was kneeling in front of him, looking haggard and bleeding from his seven orifices.

"Sir, are you alright...?" The police officer looked at Zhang Lang warily, clearly regarding him as a perpetrator.

Zhang Lang ignored the two young policemen and grabbed Vasak.

Upon seeing this, the two policemen immediately drew their guns and shouted, "Let him go..."

Before they could react, a whoosh of wind and a sudden gust of pressure blew them both away. By the time they realized what was happening, Zhang Lang and Vasak were gone…

"Can you survive in space?"

High in the air, having reached the highest point of the jump, Zhang Lang, briefly suspended in mid-air, looked down and asked Vasak.

Vasak was extremely weak at this point, and he shivered as he felt the cold air currents from high above.

"This form is probably not going to work out..."

As he spoke, Vasak sighed, and his body began to change.

His limbs began to lengthen, his body began to grow larger, his skin began to change color, and thick, long golden hair grew on his originally bald head...

After a brief transformation, the bald man in the suit, Ximen, became a handsome demon god who was over three meters tall, with a slender figure, well-defined muscles, blue skin, and long golden hair.

"Is this your true face?" Zhang Lang looked you up and down. "Compared to the other two, you are much more delicate."

"I am not known for my strength..." Vasak shook his head: "The disguised form does not prevent me from wielding the divine power of the God of Knowledge, but space travel requires physical strength, and only this form can withstand it."

"Alright, let's go then..." With that, Zhang Lang grabbed the flowing golden hair and activated Void Moon Step!

"Hey! Wait..." Just moments ago, he was still immersed in his handsome and majestic true form, but the next second someone grabbed his hair. Before he could react, Zhang Lang pulled him along, flying all the way into the depths of space.

The distance between the Earth and the Moon in this world is similar to that in the main world, around 400,000 kilometers. In order to take care of Vasak's endurance, Zhang Lang controlled the speed and finally arrived at the Moon in a little over half an hour.

Although there is no air pressure in space, the extremely high acceleration and deceleration required for a smooth landing still made Vasak a little dizzy, and he knelt on the lunar surface for a while to recover.

"Alright, let's get to work."

Vasak heard Zhang Lang's voice in his mind.

The moon's atmosphere is thin, making it difficult for sound to travel. However, Zhang Lang now possesses the ability to communicate directly through his mental powers, which can only be considered a bonus of his extremely high water attribute.

Vasak nodded, stood up, and activated his ability again.

Having already roughly pinpointed the target, Vasak didn't expend too much energy this time and quickly located the physical location of the wish-granting power.

He opened his eyes in surprise, seemingly not quite believing his own judgment. He tried a few more times before finally looking at Zhang Lang.

"Where?"

Vasak pointed to the ground: "The heart of the moon."

"Flat and straight, right at the center of the moon!"

Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Lang was not surprised; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat relieved.

"That makes things easier."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, facing directly downwards, and opened his mouth.
