Those who reincarnate must die.

The tone was so enticing, it was as if they were practically writing "Choose this wish quickly" on the badge.

However, Zhang Lang hesitated for a moment and then deleted the wish.

"What are you doing?" Xu's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

"Didn't you say you wanted to study the mechanism of this wish?" Zhang Lang asked matter-of-factly.

"Ah, right, right..." Xu paused for a moment, "Time, and... why don't you try other wishes? You can make this one at the very end..."

Zhang Lang smiled and typed in a new wish: "May the world be forever at peace."

After a brief calculation, the final difficulty level was determined to be 9863022 points.

Erase that wish and change it to "stop the war between the twelve planes".

This time, however, the result was beyond our capabilities and could not be achieved...

Delete this wish and change it to: "Make the Shen tribe the most powerful race."

The result was still beyond our capabilities and could not be achieved...

"Then, resurrect all the reincarnators who died in this Shen clan mission?"

The score given is 288654.

That's not difficult...

In this way, Zhang Lang tried them one by one, trying out all the wishes he could think of, and finally roughly figured out the ins and outs of this ability.

First, the difficulty of wishes is tiered.

The simplest solution, which can theoretically be achieved through worldly means, is to become the world's richest person, win someone's heart, cancel a holiday, not have to work, become a superstar, or become the president, etc.

These kinds of wishes generally don't involve supernatural powers and require relatively low points, usually ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, with some larger ones requiring only a few million. Of all the wishes Zhang Lang tried, the most valuable was world peace, which cost less than ten million points.

Beyond that, what's even more difficult is the involvement of supernatural forces, such as resurrecting someone, gaining a certain enhancement, or possessing a certain ability.

Such wishes are theoretically impossible to fulfill without the power of the altar, so they are generally quite expensive, usually costing hundreds of thousands or even millions, with the most difficult ones costing over ten million.

To gain a more accurate understanding of the difficulty of these wishes, Zhang Lang also used Yue Xinyi as a benchmark to test some enhancement-type wishes (because his own strength was too great, especially since his attributes had reached their limit, making him difficult to use as a standard).

Strengthening Le Xinyi typically requires hundreds of thousands to millions of points, depending on the strength and amount of the strengthening. Incidentally, if you specifically request a unique strengthening that someone else already possesses, the cost is higher than normal because it needs to be taken from that person. However, if you choose a strengthening from Zhang Lang, it cannot be taken due to the "Return to Simplicity" principle…

If we switch to attribute enhancement, adding 100 points to all of Le Xinyi's attributes would require over two million points; adding 1000 points would require over thirty million points; and adding 5000 points would be beyond our budget.

If we consider another person, Tanka, the master of the second altar, whose attributes are all in the hundreds or even thousands, adding points to his attributes would obviously consume more points than adding points to Le Xinyi's. We could only add enough points to reach 2000 points in all attributes before it showed as impossible. This also follows the rule that adding points to attributes becomes increasingly difficult.

As for the most difficult things, those are things that are hard to do even at the altar, often requiring tens of millions in consumption!

For example, Zhang Lang's previous wishes to restore his home world and to break through the limits of all attributes are things that cannot be done through conventional means in the altar. It is also difficult to achieve these things through wishes, but at least the impossible has been turned into the possible.

As for the more outrageous ones, such as cheating by making multiple wishes—a word game—it goes without saying that they definitely won't come true...

In general, worldly desires are usually easy to fulfill, but if you want to gain power through these desires, you'll definitely need to invest far more points than in a normal lottery. Even obtaining a single unique enhancement usually requires hundreds of thousands of points. With those points, you could draw hundreds of enhancements, and you'd be able to get a few unique ones, plus a bunch of smaller enhancements.

Therefore, the correct way to use this ability is either to make a simple, easily achievable worldly wish for fun, or to make a big move and make a wish that no matter how strong you become at the altar, you will not be able to fulfill.

"You've tried enough, haven't you?" Xu urged. "Time's almost up, hurry up and make your wish, or you'll waste your points!"

Zhang Lang nodded, raised his hand, and typed his final wish into the wish list:

"I want to restore my hometown to what it was like before the Red Fog disaster."

Upon seeing this wish, Xu immediately became anxious: "Why did you choose this? Your homeland has already been destroyed. Stop clinging to the past. Break through all attributes, and you can become a deity of the altar, the strongest being in the vast world. At that time, billions of worlds will prostrate themselves at your feet. A mere world is nothing!"

"Even if we take a step back and assume you gain absolute power, you might find other ways to save your homeland. But right now, this opportunity to break through your limits is incredibly rare! Listen to me, change your wish, change it to..."

Before Xu could finish speaking, Zhang Lang had already raised his hand and clicked "confirm".

"Have you forgotten? My purpose in becoming stronger is to bring my hometown back to life."

After saying that, he threw all of his more than 700,000 points into the wishing well.

"This..." Xu was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Lang checked the time: "It's almost time. Let's go back to the main world."

However, the fire did not ignite.

"Illegible?"

Because of the awakening of the illusory body, the badge's entrusted status was released, so only he could manipulate the black flames to send Zhang Lang away.

He paused for a few seconds, then let out a weak sigh:

"Hey, you only spent less than 600,000 on attribute draws. I still have 700,000 left. Let's throw that into the wish pool too."

"Huh?" Zhang Lang was taken aback. "Didn't you say your score couldn't..."

"Oh, oh, I lied to you, okay!" Xu said impatiently. "I originally wanted to push your attributes to their limit and then wish for a breakthrough, but who knew you'd be so stubborn... I'm scared of you!"

Zhang Lang smiled knowingly, shook his head, and added the score from the virtual side as well.

One million four hundred thousand points is a huge fortune for any reincarnator, but throwing these points into the wish pool only increased Zhang Lang's wish progress by 5%.

It seems that bringing my hometown back to life will be a long process.

But at least now there is hope!

As the black flames ignited, Zhang Lang returned to the main world, and this time, he wore a smile on his face from beginning to end.
