Those who reincarnate must die.

After Le Xinyi appeared, she raised her hand, revealing the storage ring from Diana on her ring finger. {What? You don't know yet? | Read COM, read error-free chapters | Go Google it now!}

Zhang Lang cannot use the storage items of this world because the mysterious items in this world are all driven by magic. Although his Beng Jin is also a mysterious energy, it is the nemesis of all magic.

However, for Le Xinyi, this prop was more convenient to use than the one given by the altar.

"Is this the organic core?" Le Xinyi smiled and waved at the huge ball of flesh. A beam of magical light shot out and put the huge organic core into her ring.

"Very good." Zhang Lang nodded. "Hurry back, you can't stay too long."

"You're already rushing me to leave after we just met?" Le Xinyi pouted, took out her badge, and checked the time. "There's still time..." Then she looked around. "It's quite spacious. Did we run into any Hai tribe members?"

"They've all been killed," Zhang Lang said calmly. "However, we can't rule out the possibility that some escaped..."

"How brutal!" Yue Xinyi said, feigning fear. "If they were an enemy, they would be utterly despairing."

As she spoke, she stared at Zhang Lang with her big eyes: "If... I mean, if one day I become your enemy, would you kill me so decisively?"

Le Xinyi's question startled Zhang Lang slightly. He frowned, seemingly pondering the girl's meaning. Le Xinyi, however, didn't give him any more time.

"Oh dear, it's really too late now. Goodbye! I'll be waiting for your new good news!" With that, Le Xinyi spread her hands and threw out a halo of light over her head before disappearing.

Rewind, a rare skill, can be used on people or objects, restoring the target to a state one minute prior. This state includes damage, stamina depletion, location, etc. If used on a non-reincarnated individual, it can even erase the target's memories within that minute; however, this effect is ineffective on reincarnated individuals.

Clearly, Le Xinyi used this skill to return to her location from a minute ago, which is Griffin City.

This is also part of their plan.

Unable to use the storage ring, Zhang Lang put on a storage bracelet instead. The altar's items didn't require any energy to use; as long as Zhang Lang's body or his internal energy didn't come into contact with them, the skills could be activated. So he summoned Xiao Mo from the card and placed her in the storage bracelet. Before that, he gave the traveling shoes to Le Xinyi, instructing her to use Xiao Mo as a marker so that when Zhang Lang arrived at his destination, she could teleport over to pack his things and then use the rewind function to return to the safe castle.

The plan was practically perfect, but after it was proposed, Diana raised a question: How would they communicate since they lived in different worlds? How would Yue Xinyi know when Zhang Lang arrived and needed her to collect his things?

The problem was eventually solved by Le Xinyi using a clumsy method: she attempted to teleport once per minute.

If Xiao Mo is inside the storage space, the teleportation cannot be activated because reincarnators cannot enter that area. If the teleportation is successful, it means that Zhang Lang has retrieved Xiao Mo, which means that the item has been found.

As long as Zhang Lang doesn't summon Xiao Mo regularly, everything will be fine.

After seeing Le Xinyi off, Zhang Lang didn't linger. He leaped into the air and returned to the portal, back to the human world.

Calculating the time, this trip has taken more than an hour. Zhang Lang looked north and sent out a wisp of his energy to sweep around.

That area was the territory of the barbarians, and also the only way for the Chen Clan to come to the human world.

Zhang Lang's main target this time was the Chen Clan's Ao Yan Jin Tong, and in his eyes, the Chen Clan was also the greatest threat to Griffin City.

After scanning, no trace of the Chen Clan was found, and the portal's status remained stable.

Haven't they come to the human world yet?

Feeling somewhat relieved, he headed south towards the underworld.

Beneath the moonlit void, the land below receded rapidly, and soon a winding coastline came into view.

Yes, the entrance to the underworld is not on land, but at sea.

Looking out, the sea was filled with floating spirits. It was these ethereal creatures that could ignore the sea. If another race had opened the gate here, they would have been blocked by the vast ocean and probably wouldn't have been able to conquer Griffin City so easily.

Looking at the densely packed spirits, Zhang Lang simply unleashed his explosive power and swept it around. These monsters from the underworld disintegrated and disappeared as if erased by an eraser, turning into kill rewards that entered Zhang Lang's badge.

I love monsters that are so easy to manage!

Soon, Zhang Lang found the portal to the underworld on a small island in the sea, where a huge vengeful spirit was trying to crawl out. This creature was bloated, ugly, and exuded an ominous aura. It howled loudly as it crawled out, enough to cause an ordinary person to have a mental breakdown or even die instantly. Even Zhang Lang found it irritating.

He didn't even bother to activate his inner force; he simply charged headlong into the giant vengeful spirit's body, leaving a hole, and rushed directly into the portal.

As for the vengeful spirit, it seemed to have been hit by an exorcising bullet; its body began to disintegrate from the hollow opening, wailing as it vanished...

"Is this the underworld?"

Zhang Lang looked up at the sky; the world of death was indeed different.

If hell evokes a scorching red, and the abyss a tranquil black, then the underworld evokes a void of white.

Yes, unlike the dark and gloomy place one might imagine, the underworld is a very light color. The earth, the sky, and the mountains are all different shades of grayish-white. But despite its whiteness, it's not glaring. This is because this white has a rough texture, like the noise on an old television screen—not dazzling, but it inexplicably makes one feel irritated.

Against this backdrop, those translucent spirits, appearing and disappearing in the human world, stand out remarkably. It seems as if the very colors of this world exist solely to highlight them.

Just like in the Abyss, Zhang Lang didn't dare to recklessly unleash his power here. He could only open Diana's notebook and search for the direction of the River Styx.

According to the notes, water is almost nowhere to be seen in the underworld; the only source of water is the River Styx. However, this river is not very large, resembling a thin line winding across the grayish-white earth. What flows within it is less water and more the corpses of spirits.

That's right, spirits can die too. Even if they aren't attacked and dispersed, they will slowly wear down over time. Once their inner obsession becomes too strong to maintain their form, they will turn back into a pool of black water and flow into the River Styx.

All attachments vanish into nothingness; a dead heart is the coldest thing in the world...
