This Is My Home Turf

The normal procedure is to complete the novice world mission, become an official Reincarnator, and then step into the Main God Temple.

But Huang Shang is different.

After waking up from a car accident, he found himself in a vast expanse of starry sky. A formless entity communicated with him, identifying itself as the Heavens Consciousness, and presented him with a choice of factions.

Should he become a true Reincarnator?

Or should he become an undercover agent, lurking within the Main God Temple to eventually destroy it and restore peace to the Heavens?

At that time, Huang Shang was completely bewildered. It was only after experiencing Book and Sword that he understood his situation and weighed the pros and cons.

First of all, Huang Shang knew that he didn't actually have much of a choice.

Although the Heavens allowed him to choose, would he be targeted if he refused?

It was like a boss generously offering you two paths, only for you to be tactless and get fired the next day because you walked into the office with your left foot first.

The Main God Temple and the Heavens are two behemoths, and they are also two opposing factions.

Setting aside good and evil, the Main God Temple currently has the upper hand. Its countless Reincarnators invade the Heavens and plunder resources. The Heavens are at a disadvantage, being aggressively penetrated, which is why they need to infiltrate the Main God Temple in return and defeat the enemy from within.

Then the question arises: since Huang Shang could be chosen, other Reincarnators could be as well.

If Huang Shang refused, would the Heavens allow him to live, just to protect future undercover agents?

Reporting to the Main God Temple was an option, but Huang Shang didn't know if that Heavens Consciousness had tampered with his body.

If he tried to report it and ended up self-destructing instead, that would be a fine joke.

Of course, Huang Shang also considered whether the Heavens had the ability to infiltrate the Main God Temple.

The Heavens Consciousness had given him a card, claimed to be a universal card, which allowed Huang Shang to disguise himself as any plot character.

The previous instance with Chen Jialuo was a test.

Based on this, Huang Shang had rehearsed a scene early on.

He would feign selling the Chen Jialuo character card and sign a contract.

If the contract held, it would prove that the Main God could not see through the authenticity of Chen Jialuo; the Main God Temple was not omnipotent and could indeed be deceived by the Heavens, meaning there was great potential for infiltration.

If the universal card was exposed, it would mean the Heavens could not compete with the Main God Temple at all. In that case, he shouldn't court death; he would simply take the risk of reporting it, sell out the Heavens, and gamble on a way out.

The result was gratifying to Huang Shang.

The Main God Temple could not see through it!

No matter how dangerous the future might be, at least at this moment, he had a unique opportunity!

As for whether he could become a protagonist, that would depend on his efforts hereafter.

After eating and drinking his fill, Huang Shang walked out of the shop and, guided by the Main God Mark, headed toward an apartment complex.

As he approached, he saw many Reincarnators coming and going.

This was exactly where Reincarnators below the star-rank lived.

The Main God Temple had a comprehensive evaluation system for the strength, combat record, and real-time status of Reincarnators.

Generally speaking, it was divided into star-ranks.

One star was the lowest, and nine stars were the strongest.

Those who had not reached star-rank were considered unranked.

And the place where the unranked lived was the apartment complex.

Walking into the single apartment, Huang Shang felt as if he had returned to the inch-of-land-is-an-inch-of-gold metropolis, and he couldn't help but grimace.

The housing problem is an eternal pain.

Damn it, they haven't even solved this after coming here.

The Main God Temple is doomed.

In reality, this was a form of urging from the Main God Temple toward the Reincarnators.

Once one advanced to a star-rank powerhouse, they would immediately have a large villa to live in, complete with training grounds and holographic simulations; the treatment was instantly different.

For now, though, he would just have to continue living in a cramped space!

Huang Shang didn't bother tidying up the room; he collapsed onto the bed and opened the Reincarnator panel.

[Reincarnator: Huang Shang]

[ID: 89757]

[Essence: 1.3]

[Qi: 1.4]

[Spirit: 1.1]

[Character Card: Chen Jialuo]

[Ability Card: Hundred Flower Wrong Fist]

[Item Card: Dragon-Returning Jade *1, Flying Swallow Silver Shuttle *1]

[Reincarnation Points: 100]

[Overall Evaluation: Zero-Star]

The three basic attributes may seem simple, but they actually encompass a vast range.

Essence covers strength, agility, flexibility, and the like; Energy covers blood, internal qi, lifespan, and so on; Spirit covers mentality, vitality, talent, and other such values.

The three complement each other, and none can be dispensed with.

Translated into Western terms, they would be Strength, Constitution, and Intelligence.

A normal person's Essence, Energy, and Spirit are all at one, and one should not assume that Reincarnators can easily reach tens or hundreds. Because this is an overall evaluation, even increasing by 0.1 is no easy feat.

Huang Shang's current state may look like an increase of only a few decimal points, but when it comes to actual combat, he is already a capable hand in the world of Book and Sword Gratitude and Revenge.

Of course, compared to other newcomers, this improvement is unremarkable.

The character card for Chen Jialuo was fake; once that was removed, the other gains were minimal.

Huang Shang's novice world was truly a novice world.

Regarding this, he felt no regret.

In that world, his primary activity was observation.

Observing the authenticity of the Heavens, observing the attitudes of Reincarnators toward plot characters, and then conceptualizing the path he intended to take.

With this foundation laid, the next, first official world would be the key to his rise.

Moreover, the Reincarnator panel was, to him, merely a layer of skin.

The infiltration targets within the Heavens were the true path for him to rapidly increase his strength.

Having made up his mind, Huang Shang closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

His previous performance was sufficient; for this period, he would hole up in his apartment, cramming various historical knowledge until the next world opened.

After a Reincarnator experiences a world in the Heavens, the Main God Temple arranges a rest period of ten days to three months, depending on their state.

If one is a madman, they can start their next journey into the Heavens after ten days.

If one wishes to rest, entering after three months is also acceptable.

Huang Shang prepared to enter after ten days.

Long nights bring many dreams; the sooner, the better.

With three meals a day automatically provided, Huang Shang did not step out of his door, and trouble naturally stayed away.

Ten days later.

He arrived at the teleportation zone.

Right on the platform, massive portals stood tall, and Reincarnators, whether alone or in groups, filed in one after another.

Huang Shang scanned the area and discovered that these worlds of the Heavens were divided into Eastern and Western, clearly demarcated.

Not only could one choose which world to enter, but one could also choose the specific point in the plot timeline.

However, the Main God Temple specifically noted the requirements.

Only upon reaching Star-rank do the benefits begin.

Huang Shang took a deep breath, walked toward the Eastern worlds, and quickly made his choice--

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils!

This was the world with the highest average level of martial arts and the largest number of powerful figures in the Jin-verse, sufficient to realize certain plans.

Stepping into the portal, Huang Shang felt his body lighten, and amidst the spinning of the heavens and earth, he transformed into a streak of light and flew out.

For other Reincarnators, from this moment until they truly entered the plot world, they would be helpless and muddled, able only to follow the arrangements of the Main God Temple.

But Huang Shang was different.

The Universal Card swirled within his body, emitting a peculiar power. Huang Shang felt his head swell, his soul seemingly leaving his body. From a high vantage point, he watched himself enter the teleportation channel, traverse planes, and finally arrive outside a blue planet.

The planet was shrouded in a transparent barrier, which was the protection the Heavens provided for each major world.

Outside the planet, stars of varying sizes orbited, waiting for the power of the Main God Temple to pierce the barrier and enter the world.

These were the Star-rank Reincarnators, the main force of the Main God Temple.

Witnessing this scene, Huang Shang's heart stirred, and his ethereal soul cast itself toward the planet.

Without any obstruction, silently and soundlessly, he passed through the barrier.

As expected, this is my home turf!
