Those who reincarnate must die.

A day has passed since the attack by the Yin tribe was stopped.

The sacred giants in the distance, having sealed the entrance to the savage world, began running towards other portals, displaying remarkable dedication. After resting and recovering, Yue Xinyi and her companions returned to the vicinity of Griffin City. The Griffin City residents who had escaped were mobilized and began using whatever materials they could find to build makeshift tents as temporary shelter.

Soon, a large temporary camp appeared near the original site of Griffin City, adjacent to water sources and forests. People cut down trees to build walls, made fires to cook, and thus ensured basic survival.

Although the city is gone, at least the people are still alive, and everyone still has hope of rebuilding their homes.

During this time, Zhang Lang also tried to call out to Xu, but received no response, as if Xu had fallen asleep again.

Fortunately, there were no further signs of invasion by other races in this world.

According to Diana, a world whose affiliation level drops to the minimum will be completely exposed to all races. It can be invaded at any time without even needing a mission. However, if the world successfully repels the invasion and defeats the enemy, its affiliation level will recover.

"Does that mean we won't be invaded again?" Ye Peng asked, taking a bite of roasted meat by the campfire by the river.

Holding a pot of hot soup, Diana shook her head: "The world's belonging value was already on the verge of collapse. After a failed mission, it must have deducted a lot. Simply repelling an invasion shouldn't be enough to restore the belonging value, but it will definitely lower our ranking on the leaderboard."

"Rankings?" Yue Xinyi asked curiously, "Does a world on the verge of collapse still have rankings?"

Diana looked at Zhang Lang and Lao Mo. The former was also confused, while Lao Mo seemed to have some experience with this: "Our altar master has just acquired full altar master privileges and has not yet accessed this function."

As he spoke, Old Mo explained to the others, "After completing a mission, a shrine master with full authority has a chance to unlock a mysterious shop based on their performance. The shop will randomly sell some treasures that cannot be obtained through normal lotteries, most of which are fire enhancements that can affect the altar's functions. One of the consumables is called a plunder license, which is used to enter worlds where the ownership value has dropped below the critical point."

"Before using this permit, you can choose to view the status of all currently invading worlds and select one to initiate an invasion mission. The altar will rank these worlds from low to high based on their ownership value. The lower the ownership value, the fewer raiding permits are required to enter that world, and the higher the ownership value, the more permits are required."

After listening, Yue Xinyi suddenly realized: "So, increasing the affiliation value not only makes this world less likely to be discovered, but also increases the cost of invading this world?"

Old Mo nodded: "Plundering permits don't appear every time the shop opens, and the number that does is limited, plus they're not cheap. So many guild leaders don't have many in stock. I remember the previous guild leader bought three and later used them in a You tribe world; he reaped quite a harvest that time."

Old Mo's description reminded Zhang Lang of his hometown. The first time he was invaded by the Golden Eye of Arrogance was probably due to a quest or a special item; the second time, perhaps he used this very thing...

"But, if the world's belonging value drops to the bottom, will the reincarnators really be unable to leave?" Lu Ren asked curiously. "Does that mean that any team that loses on the battlefield might be trapped in that world forever?"

Diana sighed. "Generally speaking, if a Reincarnator fails a battlefield mission, they can leave as long as they survive. But I've never encountered a situation where their affiliation value drops to the bottom after failure. As for a Reincarnator like myself, a native of this battlefield world, I've never heard of such a thing."

There are not many reincarnators from mission worlds to begin with, and those who can become heroes often have a powerful world as their background. It is indeed very rare for a world like Diana's to be on the verge of collapse.

"I don't think this should be done," Thunder analyzed. "Even if the altar doesn't want us to leave, it should at least issue a task or explain the reason. Remaining silent makes it seem like we've severed ties with the altar."

"It must be the Chen Clan's doing!" Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes. "The mission here just failed, and the Yin Clan's army arrived. It must have been planned beforehand!"

"Le Xinyi, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Yue Xinyi, who was suddenly called out, was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "I think so too..."

Zhang Lang frowned slightly. As the intellectual leader of the team, Yue Xinyi usually led everyone in analyzing countermeasures in this situation. Why was she a little absent-minded today?

"By the way, Diana, the leader of the sect..." Ye Peng suddenly remembered something: "Do you have a plunder license? Can you see the rankings and ownership values ​​of the worlds that can be invaded right now?"

Diana sighed. "I do have some, but they're all in the weapon rack at the altar."

"There's another way." Lu Ren's eyes lit up, drawing everyone's attention. "What way?"

"Wait!" Lu Ren said with a smile.

"Wait?" Mia protested. "How long would that take? The altar hasn't shown any signs of life!"

"We'll wait until the next invasion!" Lu Ren explained, "Since they were able to invade, it means they used a plunder license and checked the world's ownership value. We just need to wait for the next invasion to get information from the invaders!"

After hearing the suggestion, Old Mo nodded: "That makes sense! Since the Yin Clan launched their invasion immediately, it means the enemy covets this world. The next invasion shouldn't be too far off! Not only will we find out about our affiliation value, but we should also know why we're isolated in this world!"

"This is indeed the only way..." Diana nodded in agreement.

After a brief meeting, the reincarnators began helping with the construction at the camp.

Although this was unrelated to their mission, as fellow Shen people and fellow humans, they still wanted their fellow beings from another world to live a better life. Besides, there really was nothing else to do at the moment.

With the addition of the reincarnators, the construction speed of the camp greatly accelerated. In particular, Zhang Lang's explosive power, under his superb control, could often build a house in an instant, and he was happy to use this method to hone his explosive power application skills.

Time passed day by day, and the originally simple camp quickly transformed into a fortified village. Although it was far from being as grand as the former Griffin City, it was enough to provide the residents with a safe haven now that the threat of otherworldly monsters was gone.
