Those who reincarnate must die.

"Yes...yes..." Yue Xinyi sobbed through gritted teeth, "It's the master of the third altar!"

"Ning Yi?!" Zhang Lang never expected it to be him!

As Ning Chengyu's father, this refined and easy-going man was the first high-ranking member of the Shen clan that Zhang Lang met, and also the one he had the most contact with. Over this long period, Ning Yi had provided him with considerable assistance; he never expected that Ning Yi would betray him at this crucial moment, locking him away from the world!

No… Zhang Lang shook his head. If it were Ning Yi, perhaps he truly wanted to preserve the Shen clan's lineage… At his level, he must know the strength of the superior races. The Chen clan already had a Divine Wrath Iron Jaw, and the Yin and Chou clans, also among the three superior families, should also have top experts. The Shen clan, relying solely on Zhang Lang, certainly couldn't withstand so many powerful enemies…

But is it really reasonable to so decisively abandon the main world as the base?

unreasonable!

Even if Zhang Lang can't defeat all enemies, he's at least a powerful deterrent. With him around, annihilating the Shen clan will have to come at a price. To cut off one's own arm at this point would be either foolish or a betrayal!

Ning Yi is a direct descendant of Zeus. Could it be that Ning Yi gave Le Xinyi something at Zeus's behest...?

Zhang Lang had only known Zeus for a short time, but he had a good impression of him. Having led the Shen tribe for so many years, guiding a weak race to struggle for survival on the interdimensional battlefield, Zhang Lang didn't believe such a person would betray him…

Foolishness is utterly absurd!

Zhang Lang looked at Le Xinyi, who was sobbing with her head down. He had already cleared himself of the influence of the bewitching. Ning Yi was definitely the one who did it, but Zhang Lang couldn't figure out why!

Never mind all that, once we return to reality, the answer will naturally be revealed!

"Don't cry yet," Ye Peng comforted his cousin. "Let's quickly remove the spatial restriction and return to the main world!"

Le Xinyi shook her head: "It can't be canceled. It's a unique consumable item. It can only be activated, not opened... at least not from the inside."

"That's what Ning Yi said: if humanity survives this crisis, he will unseal this world from the outside... If humanity doesn't make it, then let us continue our last bloodline in this world... How could I believe his nonsense!"

Le Xinyi's words brought despair. Were they going to be trapped here forever?

Everyone is afraid of death, but after so many adventures, the hero-level reincarnators have long been accustomed to dancing with death. Especially now, with their hometown facing a crisis and the lives of their parents and relatives threatened, they cannot hide in this small world and eke out a living!

People always have to die, but they would rather die on the battlefield defending their homeland!

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Zhang Lang, standing in the center of the ugly tribe, had a flushed face, clearly having put in all his strength.

"A mere spatial barrier? As long as I can touch it, I can break it!"

With a roar, Zhang Lang intensified his burst of energy, and a faint sound of something breaking could be heard emanating from within his body!

After the previous series of battles, and the several days spent trapped in the desolate world fighting against the spatial barrier, Zhang Lang has been operating his internal energy at an excessive capacity. Under this training, he is on the verge of a breakthrough!

This time, driven by anger at the traitors and concern for the main world, he once again went all out, finally breaking through the long-stagnant Collapse Force!

Suddenly, a tremendous force surged from Zhang Lang's body, flowing through the numerous phantoms of minotaurs into the spacetime rift, further compressing the already thinned spatial barrier into the altar!

Along with this power, the scenery before these ugly people also changed. The mountains and blue sky of the mission world gradually blurred, and in their place was a dim altar with torches burning!

"We've been sent back to the altar?" The Ugly Clan members looked at each other in surprise as they saw their own and their companions' bodies gradually materializing.

"No, we were pushed back!" One of the Ugly Tribe members sensed something was wrong. Then, his body began to twist, as if a force was squeezing him from the inside out. With a painful mooing scream, he exploded into a pile of minced meat with a "poof."

Immediately afterwards, the second, the third, and one after another, the ugly clan members exploded under the pressure of space and the collapsing force, turning into dazzling blood flowers that stained the altar red.

One by one, the torches around the altar went out, until finally darkness descended completely.

Only the enormous statue at the very center illuminated the central area.

Rushing sounds came from the darkness. The dark monsters, who feared the light of fire, took the opportunity to sneak onto the altar and greedily licked the flesh and blood scattered on the ground in the barely tolerable dim light.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation emanated from the altar, followed by a man from the Shen clan.

The monsters stared at the man; they had never seen a human without horns before and were curious whether he was edible. But before they could make a move, the man waved his hands, and an invisible wave spread out, instantly turning the monsters in the altar into dust. The area within hundreds of meters of the altar was also bloodily cleansed!

"Finally out!" Zhang Lang looked up at the giant bull statue that was both strange and familiar. With a wave of his hand, figures appeared one after another in the altar.

It was Diana and the people at Altar Twelve!

"This is... the Ugly Clan Altar?" Everyone looked at the huge, terrifying bull-headed statue in the center and felt a chill run down their spines.

Just then, a message came from everyone's altar badge.

"You have been detected in the wrong area. Please leave within ten minutes, or you will be forcibly expelled. Do you wish to leave now and return to your altar?"

Is there even a question? Everyone chose yes, flames lit up, and everyone disappeared.

Only Zhang Lang remained still.

Error area?

This wasn't his first time visiting the altar of an alien race; there hadn't been this notification when the entire Si race was wiped out last time...

"Last time, it was the Si tribe that opened the Rainbow Bridge," Xu explained in Zhang Lang's mind. "Although it was a loophole in the altar, it was at least an accepted tool. Your use of the Rainbow Bridge to travel between the alien altars was a method permitted by the altars."

"But this time is different. You tore open the door yourself and squeezed in, which the altar cannot tolerate, so they issued an order to leave. Wow, I didn't expect you to have grown to this stage. You can break the altar's rules without my help. Amazing, amazing. I'm very pleased..."

Zhang Lang nodded. There was nothing to miss about the altar of the Ugly Clan. He was more concerned about the safety of the main world.

Back at their clan's altar, everyone was watching a replay of their experiences.

Because the mission failed, there were no rewards. After the information was collected, everyone returned directly, except for Zhang Lang, who remained standing in place.

Not only because his experience was the most complex and his episodes were the longest, but more importantly, because the main storyline of the altar failed, the rewards from the Void side would not be discounted.
