Those who reincarnate must die.

Accompanied by the orange glow of the fire, Zhang Lang's figure appeared in the mall's stairwell. ▲Search "Like" on Weibo to read▲

Although five months had passed in the mission world, only an hour had passed in the main world. This huge discrepancy in the flow of time always gave Zhang Lang a sense of unreality.

As he descended the stairs to the first floor, Zhang Lang walked out of the mall's side door and saw a graceful girl waving at him from the entrance.

"Le Xinyi?" Zhang Lang leaned closer. "Were you waiting for me?"

"Yes!" Le Xinyi nodded. "After dinner, everyone went home, but I guessed you could finish the task in an hour, so I waited for you here for a while, and sure enough..."

As she spoke, Le Xinyi showed off her badge.

"You've succeeded! We have a leader now!"

When someone becomes the altar master, the team members at the altar will naturally receive the news, which is not surprising to Zhang Lang.

"My becoming the altar master means that our missions will be more dangerous, and we will encounter enemies from other altars more frequently."

"I know!" Le Xinyi nodded with a smile, "But with you here, I'm not afraid!"

"I can't protect you all forever..." Zhang Lang looked at Le Xinyi. "Perhaps one day, I will leave the altar, go to a new world, and begin a new adventure."

Le Xinyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she smiled and said, "Who said I was expecting you to protect me? I believe that a captain as loyal as you wouldn't hog all the benefits. By following you, I'll definitely become stronger and stronger!"

"I'm relieved to see you think that way," Zhang Lang nodded.

"By the way, you should also prepare. I plan to hold an altar meeting tomorrow, and I will issue a notice through the badge later."

After becoming the altar master, Zhang Lang gained many privileges. The ones mentioned in the previous altar were just the more important ones. There were some minor functions that were not described in detail, but they were all reflected in the altar master interface of the badge.

One of the rules is that the altar master can use the badge to send notifications to the team members in their altar. They can also hold an altar meeting once a month, which can last up to 24 hours and is not counted in the monthly time that heroes can return to the altar.

"A meeting tomorrow?" Le Xinyi raised an eyebrow. "Why not today? Are you taking advantage of the new broom sweeping the room?"

"What new or old officials? We're all old friends. Let's talk about practical matters in this meeting." Zhang Lang waved his hand. "I have some things to take care of today, which might be useful for tomorrow's meeting. You should go back to school first."

"This...so urgent?" Le Xinyi's tone was somewhat disappointed.

"I can't waste a single second right now." Zhang Lang looked up. "See you tomorrow."

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished, leaving only a wisp of breeze.

"Still so swift and agile." Yue Xinyi looked at the spot where Zhang Lang had just stood. "His speed was so fast that even I couldn't see it, yet it didn't trigger a sonic boom. This effortless mastery... he seems to have gotten even stronger..."

…………

Donghai City, headquarters of Yingjian Group.

It was already dark outside, but lights could still be seen in the group building, and many offices were still staffed with people working overtime.

This includes the chairman's office on the top floor.

Inside the luxurious office, Ning Yi, the chairman of Yingjian Group, was making tea at the coffee table. Sitting opposite him was a tall, mixed-race man, none other than Zeus, the strongest hero of the Shen tribe.

"Guild Master..." Ning Yi poured Zeus a cup of tea, "Judging by the time, he should be back in the real world by now, right? Do you think he can pass the hellish difficulty trial for the Guild Master smoothly?"

Zeus picked up his cup and took a sip: "Don't you believe in his power?"

"Of course not..." Ning Yi explained, "He could easily kill Luo Wei, win the Supernova Tournament, and kill more than a dozen alien clan leaders... His strength is among the best in the entire Shen Clan, and even compared to you, President, he's probably..."

At this point, Ning Yi wisely stopped.

"It's alright," Zeus shook his head and smiled, "Continue."

Ning Yi swallowed hard and organized his thoughts.

"Even if you're incredibly strong, it's still just individual strength... The Altar Master's Trial has always tested leadership abilities. If it were just a normal difficulty level, you might be able to turn the tide with individual bravery... Hell difficulty... After all, I've never heard of anyone adjusting the difficulty for the Altar Master's Trial. I can't imagine what kind of mission that would be... If it were a world war involving high magic or advanced technology, I'm afraid even the strongest individual wouldn't be able to influence the outcome of the battle..."

"Ordinary strength is indeed impossible..." Zeus waved his hand, "But that guy is stronger than me!"

"What?" Ning Yi was taken aback when Zeus readily admitted that he was inferior to Zhang Lang, and was momentarily speechless with fear.

"No surprises." Zeus downed his tea in one gulp and smiled frankly. "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. The Shen Clan producing such a brilliant and powerful individual is a blessing for humanity, and also a blessing for the main world!"

"Furthermore, you can ask him whether he passed the altar master's trial."

As he spoke, Zeus looked out the window.

"Huh?" Ning Yi turned his head and saw a tall man hovering outside the window. It was Zhang Lang!

Ning Yi glanced at the time in surprise. Zhang Lang should have just finished his mission, so how did he end up here? It's over a thousand kilometers from Yunzhou to the East China Sea! Did he fly here? Didn't he alert the ASEAN air force?

"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for someone to smash your window?" Zeus woke Ning Yi from his daze. Ning Yi then came to his senses, got up, opened the window, and let Zhang Lang into the room.

"Why didn't you say anything before you came, Mr. Zhang? I sent someone to greet you. It's really a disservice that you had to leave through the window..." Ning Yi said politely, leading Zhang Lang to the seat opposite Zeus. He clearly knew that the other party had not come here for him.

Zhang Lang didn't stand on ceremony. He plopped down, picked up a teacup, and poured himself a cup.

"How did you know I was here?" Zeus laughed.

"What do you think?" Zhang Lang asked in return after taking a sip of tea.

"President, what you're saying is unbelievable," Ning Yi chimed in, "You're the Grand President of the Broken Sword, and you just met an hour ago. In such a short time, you must have been here at my branch... Mr. Zhang is so clever, he must have guessed it!"

To everyone's surprise, Zeus disagreed, shaking his head and saying, "I feel he doesn't need to guess."

"Just now, I sensed something subtly watching me... no, 'watching' isn't quite accurate, it was more like brazenly looking at me... or rather, scanning me! You found me through a scanning search!"

Zhang Lang smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"Even though we're thousands of kilometers apart, I couldn't escape your scan... It seems you not only completed your mission, but you've also become more powerful!"

"Yes." Zhang Lang looked into Zeus's eyes: "Therefore, the conditions we agreed on before need to be changed a bit."
