The Reincarnation Sacred Hall was buzzing with people waiting out their cooldowns before entering the Reincarnation World.
"Hey, which SSS-Class world do you think the Reincarnation Master will take on this time?"
"Are you still half-asleep? You really think the Reincarnation Sacred Hall is his family business? That guy definitely has a huge force behind him. He must have spent years analyzing those two worlds before entering them, and been sure he could handle them!"
"Care to make a bet? It's almost been an hour. The Reincarnation World wraps up one batch of task-takers every hour. How about the loser treats the winner to a round in the living area's paradise?"
"Who's scared? Just don't go back on your word if you lose!!!"
"Hey, wait. Weren't you the one who said the other day you'd livestream yourself eating shit? No wonder your voice sounded so familiar!"
"..."
"Congratulations to Reincarnator 'Reincarnation Master' for his outstanding performance in the Reincarnation World Legend of Mir (Master Grade). While helping Baqi City defend itself, he earned the most merit and helped the leader of the Three Dragon Guards kill the Woma Cult Master's clone, heavily injuring its true body. He exceeded the mission requirements and received a perfect SSS-Class rating."
"Congratulations to Reincarnator 'Reincarnation Master'..."
(Someone said I was padding things out, ╭(╯^╰)╮)
"See? Another SSS-Class rating! Now, about that guy who offered to treat everyone..." The Reincarnator was shouting excitedly, but suddenly fell silent.
The entire Reincarnation Space sank into an eerie stillness.
"That's impossible! Legend of Mir isn't one of today's Master Grade worlds!" someone from the instance area suddenly shouted.
His words shattered the silence.
"Whoa, it's true! Is there a bug?"
"Damn, it really is the Reincarnation Master! Give a guy a chance, big brother—let me cling to your coattails!"
"Your little sister is twenty, slim, soft, and easy to push down. Please, great Reincarnation Master, help me get an S rating! I can make cute noises and keep your bed warm!"
The system had announced a Legend of Mir world that hadn't appeared among the Master Grade options. People from every country in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall were thrown into an uproar.
But once the people from Legend of Mir instance No. 8534 showed up, news of the world's promotion began spreading like wildfire. When people learned that the Reincarnation Master had chosen another Master Grade mission after the world's promotion, they were all deeply impressed.
At the same time, leaders in various countries called emergency meetings in response to the news.
United States—the War God Society.
The War God Society was the United States' official organization. Its leader was War God, whose global ranking was second only to Shiva of Tianzhu.
At that moment, he was in a conference room with several War God Society leaders and a few senior American officials.
"Have you figured out the Reincarnation Master's identity yet?" War God asked the officials sternly.
In this world, the top hundred ranked individuals were forces on par with nuclear weapons. They wielded immense power within their respective countries.
"We still can't pin down his identity. But according to top-secret intelligence, the Nalan family of the Dragon Kingdom seems to have made contact with him. Apparently, he's willing to sell guides, but only in exchange for a skill called Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. They haven't discussed anything else."
"The Nalan family? The one that Nalan Qing belongs to? She's ranked sixty-ninth and known as Blood Rose?"
"That's right. But apparently, her younger sister was the one who contacted the Reincarnation Master. The Nalan family still hasn't obtained Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, so they haven't been in touch with him again," the official replied.
"Judging from the mission worlds he chose and the abilities he strengthened, there's over a seventy percent chance he's from the Dragon Kingdom. Someone from the War God Society fought him in Legend of Mir because of the nephew of the Seventh Knight of the British Round Table Knights. They likely survived because killing other Reincarnators in an Elite World gets you erased," said the War God Society's intelligence chief.
"From the power he used, it was probably Energy Dissolving Skill from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. It can cripple the strength in someone else's body. But the power system in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is relatively low-level, so it shouldn't affect us much. Of course, we can't rule out his ability having increased in rank."
"Also, Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is a martial art from The Return of the Condor Heroes. Its forces share a lineage with those in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. It's a skill that passively increases strength. Most importantly, his name wasn't on the list of people entering the trial grounds this time. We can conclude that he's never entered an Elite World or above."
"So he's a rising star? Find him and bring him over. If he refuses, you know what to do." After speaking, War God left the conference room. His cooldown would be over in three days, and he needed to make thorough preparations.
As for the Reincarnation Master, not qualifying to enter the trial grounds meant he hadn't yet earned a B rating or better in three Elite Worlds. Apparently, he'd completed this Master Grade mission alongside three powerful NPCs.
He was just a gutsy, lucky newcomer. If he didn't know his place, they could simply kill him.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the head of the Dragon Group and Nalan Qing went to the Nalan family. They spent the night in confidential talks with the Clan Leader, after which the head left alone.
Tianzhu...
Britain...
Greece...
Korea. When a group of Koreans came to demand answers, Park Ji-woong had already disappeared without a trace, taking Park Ga-ze with him.
While the outside world was in an uproar, a figure with only half a body floated in a private preparation room in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. A milky-white light shone on him, keeping him alive.
Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes and realized he was in the preparation room. A surge of delight filled him.
He'd gambled right, after all. He'd completed the mission and returned to the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. He didn't know that if he'd still been human, being cut in half across the torso would have left him no chance of survival. But after the evil power transformed him, he'd somehow managed to hold on.
The Magic God had also frozen him with Ice Roar, which had saved his life. But when Holy War and the others discovered that Chen Feng's transformation was irreversible, they had no choice but to leave him on the third floor of Woma Temple. Once the Magic God's mana ran out and the ice melted, Chen Feng would die on his own.
That small gap in time had let Chen Feng hang on until the mission was complete, at which point he was teleported straight back to the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. As the only person to complete the Master Grade world, he was assigned a private preparation room.
When Chen Feng tried to check what he'd earned, he realized something was wrong. He had only one arm left—a huge claw covered in scales—and he was clutching a head tightly in its grip. It was none other than the Woma Cult Master's Head.
