Those who reincarnate must die.

Beneath the ruins of the Griffin City Lord's Mansion. ▲Search "Like" on 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑔𝑙𝑒 to read more▲

This place was originally Diana's experimental site for researching the Holy Giants. After the giants revived, crashed through the ceiling, and rushed out, this place became a deep pit under the city lord's mansion, where only a ray of sunlight could shine in.

Ao Yan Jin Tong lay at the bottom of the pit, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Zhang Lang stood with one foot on his chest, looking down at him.

It was as if the scene from a few years ago was being repeated, only the two people's positions were reversed.

"Do you know me?" Zhang Lang's face twitched as he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Hunter..." Ao Yan Jin Tong coughed up a mouthful of dragon blood, then grinned widely. "Or should I call you Zhang Lang?"

"You know my real name?" Zhang Lang looked surprised.

He didn't believe that Ao Yan Jin Tong would care about an unknown nobody he casually killed back then. At most, he might remember that this was someone he had killed because of the recent rise of "The Hunter." Zhang Lang's questioning just now was merely an outlet for the grievances and anger that he had suppressed for many years.

But he didn't expect that Ao Yan Jin Tong not only remembered him, but even knew his real name!

"Your name was told to me by a Shen tribe female named Grace... I accessed her memories, and she believed until her death that you were the hope for the rise of the Shen tribe. Now it seems she was right..."

"Grace?" Zhang Lang recalled the capable female hero he had encountered in the Canyon Showdown years ago. He hadn't seen her since becoming a hero, and Zhang Lang guessed she had died in a mission, but he never imagined she would be killed by the Golden Eyes of Arrogant Flame!

"I recognized you the moment I saw you in her memory." Ao Yan Jin Tong smiled. "You left a deep impression on me. Although it was just a weak counterattack back then, your eyes reminded me of myself before I became a Reincarnator."

Zhang Lang frowned. The opportunity for ordinary people to become reincarnators is often an accidental death...

Ao Yan Jin Tong continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, "Back then, I was just like you, with a beautiful lover. But we were caught in the crossfire of a battle between reincarnators. My girlfriend died on the spot, and I, in a frenzy, charged towards the giant creature that had killed her..."

"When I finally woke up, I was already at the altar, a reincarnator, but my girlfriend wasn't so lucky."

Recalling the past, Ao Yan's golden eyes shone with a different light, unaware that he had mistaken Zhang Ya for Zhang Lang's lover.

"Are you saying all this hoping for my pity?" Zhang Lang didn't bother to correct him. He slightly increased the pressure on his feet, and the sound of bones breaking came from Ao Yan Jin Tong's chest.

A pained expression appeared on Ao Yan Jin Tong's face: "No, I just want to say that we are all chosen by fate, destined to do what we are meant to do... My fate is to find you, and your fate..."

At this point, Ao Yan Jin Tong suddenly burst into wild laughter, and then, from Zhang Lang's perspective, his body began to swell unnaturally...

boom!

A fierce flame shot into the sky from the ruins of the city lord's mansion, accompanied by a deafening roar and a terrifying impact.

Ao Yan Jin Tong self-destructed!

This is not a special skill, but a super bomb planted in the body beforehand, which even Zhang Lang's return to simplicity cannot prevent from being triggered.

Zhang Lang, who was in the blast center, was not harmed, but the terrifying explosion destroyed the foundation of Griffin City. The entire city began to shake, the roads collapsed, and the buildings tilted, as if it had been hit by a huge earthquake.

The residents of Griffin City scattered in terror, and factories sounded alarms to evacuate people, but they could not escape the disaster.

Just when everyone thought that Griffin City would be destroyed, the earthquake suddenly subsided.

"What happened?" The residents of Griffin City looked at each other in bewilderment. "Is it over already?"

Just as they were contemplating whether to return to work, a giant dragon appeared above the town center. Diana used a megaphone to shout:

"Everyone! Evacuate Griffin City within one hour! Hurry! This city is about to disappear!"

Disappeared? What does that mean?

Before the residents could fully comprehend what was happening, the city's armed forces were the first to react. Armored units took to the streets and began organizing the evacuation of residents. Leaders of major factories and heads of major residential areas also stepped forward to lead residents and workers to evacuate.

It must be said that the mobilization efficiency of a city in the post-apocalyptic world is far beyond that of peacetime. Having teetered on the brink of death all day, the residents of Griffin City had no questions or complaints about Diana's orders. The entire city operated at peak efficiency, with people queuing to evacuate through several city gates, appearing from the air as densely packed ants, like ants moving house.

As for the Chen Clan members who had previously attacked the city, they were dealt with in coordination with Altar No. 12 after Diana Teng took action.

The reason for the urgent evacuation was that Diana received a communication from Zhang Lang.

The self-destruction of Ao Yan Jin Tong not only destroyed the foundation of Griffin City, but also caused deeper consequences.

Don't forget, to power the entire mechanical city, this city was built upon a massive magical energy ley line. Now, stimulated by the explosion, the magical energy ley line is in an unstable state, and immense power is about to erupt.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lang was deep underground, using his explosive power to maintain the city's stability and seal off the earth's energy veins.

But this is not a long-term solution!

Jin Lin was right; Zhang Lang had used up too much of his explosive energy in order to break through the spatial barrier.

The stability of space cannot be broken by physical forces. Even a black hole as powerful as a star can only distort space, but cannot truly break the spatial barrier.

Therefore, no matter how strong Zhang Lang's physical strength was, he was unable to break through the sealed spatial gate...

However, Beng Jin is possible. As a life energy, Beng Jin has certain mysterious attributes. It shares the same origin as other mysterious energies such as magic, spiritual power, telekinesis, and primal force. As long as the technique is skillful enough, Beng Jin may also achieve magical effects.

The force Zhang Lang used to bombard the spatial gate was the power of the collapsing energy.

For the past few days, he had been trying to use his explosive power to affect the stability of the space, constantly summarizing his experiences and adjusting his methods. Finally, through repeated trial and error, he found a breakthrough and successfully returned to the human world before the space completely stabilized!

This also left him with very little energy left, so he could no longer cover the human world in all directions, nor could he sense the location of Ao Yan Jin Tong. He could only obtain information by interrogating Jin Lin.

At this moment, his remaining strength could only briefly maintain the city's stability.

And this time limit is one hour!

All residents must evacuate the city within one hour, and go as far away as possible!
