Those who reincarnate must die.

The leaders of the two tribes looked at Zhang Lang, and the representative of the wind elves spoke first:

"The goddess's sacred artifact is the core we use to maintain this subspace. If we give it to you, this space will collapse, and our home, which we have painstakingly built over many years, will be destroyed!"

The sea tribe leader nodded: "Taking away the goddess's sacred artifact is tantamount to annihilating both of our clans. Your power is indeed formidable, but if you don't give us a way out, my Wind and Sea tribes will fight to the death!"

Zhang Lang shook his head: "I don't mean to exterminate them. The main problem now isn't your little world. The outside world has been invaded by extraterrestrial demons, and humanity has been almost completely slaughtered. We must use the Three Sacred Artifacts to summon the Supreme Goddess for any chance of a turnaround. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before they discover this place after they've completely conquered the outside world. Those ferocious alien races won't sit here and negotiate with you like I am."

"The Great World is in crisis?" the Wind and Sea races exclaimed in surprise. "Humanity has also suffered heavy losses?"

Zhang Lang keenly caught a hint of joy in the other person's tone: "Yes, no matter how well this place is built, it's still just a small world with limited resources. Right now, the Great World is in ruins, and humanity is weak. Why not take this opportunity to abandon this place, use the sacred artifact to summon the goddess, and after driving away the extraterrestrial demons, seize the chance to gain a foothold in the Great World and reclaim the territory that humanity took from us back then!"

Zhang Lang wasn't trying to deceive anyone. While the Feng and Hai clans weren't strictly human, they clearly didn't belong to any other race either; if one had to categorize them, they should be considered branches of the Shen clan. This was evidenced by their shared worship of the supreme goddess with humans.

Therefore, even if humanity is truly wiped out, as long as the Feng and Hai clans can thrive and grow stronger, this world will still belong to the Shen clan, and their control will not decrease!

The two leaders discussed the matter for a moment, then looked at Zhang Lang with suspicion: "How do we know you're telling the truth?"

Zhang Lang smiled slightly: "Since you can arrange for a giant octopus to guard the gate outside, you should be able to send other things as well, right? I don't believe you have no information about the turmoil outside."

He was right. The Wind and Sea races did indeed have spies outside, but because of the spatial barrier, it was difficult for them to exchange information. They could only return to this subspace periodically to report directly.

But just as the sea creatures in the warp can sense the death of Otval, the sacrifice of those eyes and ears here can also be felt.

In the past few days, the wind spirits and sea creatures were surprised to find that the ever-burning lamps representing the life force of the sentries were constantly going out, which meant that these sentries were dying one after another!

They initially thought they had been discovered and wiped out by humans, but they quickly realized something was wrong. To confirm the situation, they sent out two new teams to gather intelligence, but not long after, the eternal flames of these teams also went out.

This is a bit unbelievable, because the two new teams they arranged consisted of a spirited bird tamed by a wind spirit and a highly intelligent sea beast tamed by a sea creature. These creatures are no different from ordinary animals in the outside world. Humans would investigate spies, but surely they wouldn't kill the birds in the sky and the sea beasts in the sea as well?

Unless, they were affected by some kind of large-scale attack!

Something must have happened outside.

And now, Zhang Lang's words have further confirmed this!

"We need some more time to confirm," the sea tribe leader said. On the one hand, he needed to make a careful decision on such an important matter, at least by holding a meeting with the Senate think tank and even having the people vote on it.

On the other hand, the longer they delay, the more thoroughly the humans outside will be wiped out, which will be more advantageous for their counterattack on the Great World!

"I don't have time to wait for your confirmation." Zhang Lang's tone turned cold. "The outside world won't last much longer. If you're unwilling to hand over the sacred artifact, I don't mind taking it myself."

As he spoke, he pointed to the ground: "If my senses are correct, those two items are located underground on this island, within a secret chamber, on a massive magic array, right?"

Upon hearing him point out the exact location, the high-ranking members of both the Feng and Hai clans changed their expressions.

"I only did a brief investigation." Zhang Lang looked at the faces of the people in front of him and said calmly, "If I wanted to, I could destroy that magic array immediately. This subspace would instantly collapse back into the Great World. You should know better than me how many sea creatures and wind elves would die."

"We...understand." The two groups of high-ranking officials immediately stood up: "Please give us one day...no, twelve...six hours! We will hand over the sacred artifact to you."

Zhang Lang nodded: "It might be inconvenient for you to operate while I'm here. I'll wait outside, and then deliver the items to the temple on the east coast!"

"OK!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Lang left the small world and returned to the temple.

Upon his return, the high priest and the other reincarnators came forward to inquire about the progress, and Zhang Lang gave them a general account of what had happened.

"They'll deliver the goods in six hours at most." After saying this, Zhang Lang looked at the High Priest: "I'm a little curious why the civilizations of the wind elves and sea creatures are so different from humans. For them, magic seems to be just an auxiliary technology; various technological devices are the mainstream. What exactly happened back then?"

The high priest scoffed at the question: "What technology? They're nothing but heretics! Tinkering with those metal contraptions and altering life—that's blasphemy against the Supreme Goddess! They deserve to be banished!"

A clash of religious beliefs? Seeing that the high priest was unmoved, Zhang Lang did not delve any further into the matter. Instead, he remained in the temple, using his inner energy to monitor the world's movements.

The total number of humans scattered across various regions is now less than one million. The remaining Zi and Mao clans were all wiped out remotely by Zhang Lang using his Beng Jin technique. Now, the only remaining threat to this world is the three upper families located far away in the imperial city.

But they didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the destruction; they remained hidden in the imperial city, plotting something unknown.

Fearing to alert them, Zhang Lang didn't dare to attack them, nor did he use his explosive power to scan them excessively. He simply surrounded them and kept a close watch on their movements.

Time passed second by second, and finally, more than four hours later, a faint spatial fluctuation came from the eastern sea.

Then, not long after, the high priest's expression suddenly changed: "Someone has invaded the realm of divine power again!"

"What is it this time?" the other reincarnators asked.

"I don't know, I've never seen anything like this before!" the high priest exclaimed in surprise. "The opponent seems to possess some kind of divine power very similar to that of the goddess, and the temple's barrier can't stop it..."

"Don't worry," Zhang Lang said, his eyes closed as he rested. "Our allies have arrived."
