The Man in the 'Door's Avatar

Seeing this, Li Wei quickly used his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to reach the shore, then looked at the lava monster in the middle of the lake with a wary expression.

"That scorching lava must never be touched, or it will be burned to ashes instantly, just like those longswords and rocks."

Large amounts of magma continued to erupt, reacting violently with the surrounding water, while at the same time, the magma monster's health was decreasing by '200' each time.

When the magma monster's health dropped to 20,000, the lake's water level had already decreased by more than half. Seeing this, Li Wei decided to strike while the monster was down, using ranged attacks to continuously whittle down its health.

In the dungeon world, life force is represented digitally, a setting that has both advantages and disadvantages. In Li Wei's view, this world of digital life force is still very beneficial to his combat.

Once the opponent's health drops to 0, they will die. Therefore, Li Wei's task is to continuously attack and whittle down the opponent's health.

Steam was rising from the lake, and it was beginning to boil. The strange fish in the lake had all turned belly up; after all, even man-eating fish couldn't survive in boiling water.

After a while, the lake water had dropped to about knee level. The lava monster, under the combined attack of the lake water and Li Wei, had less than 1,000 health points left. In addition, with a large amount of cooled lava surrounding its body, it was now unable to move.

Li Wei unleashed a powerful Shockwave Fist, taking away 400 points of the opponent's health and shattering the cooled magma surrounding the lava monster, revealing its true form.

With less than 600 health points, the opponent posed no threat to Li Wei. Moreover, it was a talking Corpse Keeper, so perhaps sparing its life would yield some useful items.

In fact, at this moment, the magma monster no longer had the strength to resist. It had exhausted all its strength to fight against the large amount of lake water, and now its whole body had been completely cooled down, with only a few wisps of fire visible in the cracks above its neck.

"I surrender. What do you want? The Fire Spirit Remnant? I'll give them to you, just please spare me..." The magma monster's lower body had already been cooled into a hard substance and was unable to move. Seeing Li Wei approaching, it hurriedly shouted.

Where are the Fire Spirit Remnant?

"It's inside the Flame Cavern. Take me back, and I'll get it for you..."

Hearing this, Li Wei laughed and said, "Do you think you'd still believe me? Once we're back in the Flame Cavern, you can control the lava again, so just tell the truth."

The magma monster hadn't expected its opponent to see through its trick, and knew that if it didn't tell the truth, it would really be doomed. In the end, Li Wei smashed its body and took out the 'Fire Spirit Remnant' encased within.

"No wonder you can control that magma; you actually swallowed the Fire Spirit Remnant into your body." Li Wei looked at the 'Fire Spirit Remnant' in his hand with a chill and began to examine it with his Eye of Perception.

' The Fire Spirit Remnant, the remains of the Archmage Mordor, contain powerful fire magic, and come with the spells 'Fire Control Art' and 'Summon Fire Spiders'. Collecting all of Mordor's remains will grant you the Archmage's inheritance.'

"I've got the fire elemental remains too. Now, only three remains are left. I hope Blood Demon and the others won't disappoint me." Li Wei put the Fire Spirit Remnant into the Copper Pot, looked at the magma monster that only had a head left, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Li Wei believed the monster could understand this sentence.

Sure enough, after a long while, the monster said coldly, "You... understood the mural?"

Li Wei knew what the mural it was referring to was, so he nodded.

Unexpectedly, the monster gave a cold laugh, "Since you understand the murals, you should know that this is where the remains of the so-called master of six magic elements, the god of magic Mordor, are buried. However, don't be fooled by the lie that collecting all six remains will grant you Great Strength; that's just bait..."

"Whether it's bait or not, I can judge for myself. Now you need to answer my initial question: Who exactly are you? And who is the person in the 'door' in the mural?" Li Wei grabbed the monster's remaining head and said coldly.

The head cackled a few times, but Li Wei could hear a hint of desolation and bitterness in its voice.

"I am the Main God."

Li Wei heard a bizarre story, so bizarre that Li Wei could hardly believe it.

This monster claims to be the Main God, or rather, the former Main God.

"The history of Shadow Street is much longer than you think. You could say that Shadow Street is the true world. What you call the real world is merely a space it created, and the space that produces the Reincarnators is called the Starfield..."

Li Wei placed the monster's head on the ground and listened silently to its story.

However, Li Wei was struck dumb. He couldn't quite believe what the other person was saying, but upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense.

The most suspicious thing is the apocalypse a few years ago, with its cracked ground, monsters roaming the land, and towns that can be upgraded—scenes that you only see in mission worlds.

"I've digressed. Even I know very little about the history of Shadow Street. Take this so-called God of Magic, Mordor, for example. He was a complete schemer..." Mentioning Mordor, the monster who called himself Main God's voice was filled with bone-deep hatred, "He was indeed a genius, his comprehension of magic was unparalleled. Not only did he master all six elements of magic to the Grandmaster level, but he also obtained a power called 'Time Power,' which allowed him to freely control time. Back then, at S7 power, he challenged me..."

"As a result, you failed..." Based on the other party's account, Li Wei gradually pieced together the murals he had seen and arrived at this astonishing conclusion.

The monster gave a bitter laugh, "Yes, I failed. He was too powerful, especially with his 'Time Power,' a nearly invincible technique. I was utterly defeated..."

"However, he won against me, but at a terrible price. I destroyed his body, splitting it into six parts, which I then entrusted to the six monsters I created to guard. My own body was also utterly shattered beyond repair. Helpless, my soul possessed the body of a monster, and then I used my last bit of power to create this instanced world. Here, Mordor's power cannot reach, but I can only eke out a living here... while he has taken my place and become the new Main God."

"Can Mordor still live without a body?" Li Wei asked.

"Of course, he's a grandmaster-level mage, his soul power even stronger than his physical body. However, haha, all his magic power is stored in the six fragments of his corpse. Right now, he can only cast Time Power. Furthermore, he constantly wants to reclaim his body, so if you use your Detection skill, you'll see false attributes attached to the remains. Collecting all six fragments will grant you the inheritance of the God of Magic. I swear, if we really collect all the fragments, his power will merge with his body, and then we'll all be finished."

"You're the one who's doomed, aren't you? After all, according to you, he's now a Main God. If I help him collect the six fragments, he should be thanking me, shouldn't he?"

Li Wei's words left the monster speechless. Then, it angrily shouted and cursed at Li Wei, calling him foolish.

Finding the other party's shouting bothersome, Li Wei simply took out the Copper Pot, used a magic spell to put the monster's head into it, and suddenly, the world was quiet.

Li Wei wouldn't kill it, at least not now. And collecting the remains wouldn't stop there, since that was one way to leave. However, Li Wei also knew he needed to modify his initial plan.

Now, he already has three fragments: 'water', 'earth', and 'fire'. He still has 'light', 'lightning', and 'frost' left. Li Wei believes that, given the abilities of the Blood Demon and the Flower Demon, obtaining the remaining three fragments should not be a problem.

With that in mind, Li Wei used his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to reach the very first tomb chamber, the one with the six doors.

The fat man is currently safe inside the Flame Cavern, and there are some things that shouldn't be revealed to him. Li Wei sat down cross-legged, recovering his strength and true energy while waiting for Blood Demon and the others.

After waiting for about two hours, a ghostly howl echoed from the Frost Tomb, followed by the figure of the Blood Demon. Upon seeing Li Wei, it quickly landed and flattered him, saying, "Master, I have fulfilled my Blood Demon and obtained the 'Ice Spirit Remnant'."

With that, he opened his mouth and spat out the 'Ice Spirit Remnant' to Li Wei.

After confirming that everything was correct, Li Wei handed the 'Ice Spirit Remnant' to the Blood Demon: "Keep this for now. What about the Flower Demon?"

"Her cultivation is not as good as mine, so it will naturally take some time." Just then, a delicate shout came from the Lightning Tomb.

"Blood Pighead, what nonsense are you spouting? Saying my cultivation is inferior to yours? Then let's have a contest and see who's weaker!" The Flower Demon arrived like a gust of wind, first bowing gracefully to Li Wei, then glaring fiercely at the Blood Demon.

The latter chuckled awkwardly, "Your cultivation level is higher, alright? I was just joking."

Li Wei chuckled. He knew very well that although the Blood Demon had many tricks up his sleeve, the Flower Demon was still more powerful in terms of cultivation. The Flower Demon also spat out something, which was the 'Lightning Spirit Remnant'.

Similarly, Li Wei ordered her to keep the wreckage safe.

After waiting a while, three Archangel corpse puppets flew out from the last 'light' tomb. The Archangel had been turned into corpse puppets, and their minds had long been erased, so their expressions were cold and they didn't say a word. They knelt directly in front of Li Wei and offered the 'Light Spirit Remnant' in their hands.

This time, Li Wei held the remains in his hand and put them into the Copper Pot.

"The six fragments have been gathered. Now, we have to make a choice. Whether we can leave this place or not depends on our next choice." Li Wei sighed inwardly, took out the Beast Soul Sword, recalled the Blood Demon and the Flower Demon, and then used the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to enter his own Copper Pot World.

He wanted more information about the Main God, Mordor, and the six pieces of corpse. Li Wei knew that the monster who called himself the 'Main God' had probably not told him everything before.

In the Copper Pot World, Li Wei is the ruler.

He created a huge mansion with his mind and is now sitting in a comfortable armchair, interrogating the monster's head.

The scene was somewhat eerie. In front of Li Wei was a table with a human head that looked as if it had been covered in a layer of mud. Through the cracks in the dried mud, wisps of flame could be seen, but they were very weak.

"I've told you everything I know. Like I said, Mordor is cruel. You've collected six pieces of my limb, so you're bound to run into me. Do you think he'll let you off the hook after all the contact I've had? Haha, you're a smart man. Think about it carefully. Even if he suspects you, you're dead. So, staying here is your best option..."

With a flick of his hand, Li Wei conjured a small tea table beside him, upon which lay a pot of tea. Li Wei completely ignored the monster, simply pouring himself a cup and leisurely sipping it.

"Don't act like you're on my side. You let me stay here; don't you have your own motives? I think you're waiting for your power to recover so you can take over my body. Don't deny it. If it weren't for taking over my body, with your S2-level combat power, you would have killed me long ago. There would be no need for all this acting. However, despite all your calculations, you still overlooked my spatial abilities, which allowed me to pull you into the lake. Otherwise, you might have already successfully possessed me by now."

These words left the monster speechless, as if Li Wei had hit the nail on the head; it remained silent.

"I ask you, what form does the current Main God... namely Mordor, take?"

"Of course, it'll be in a soul state. That bastard is very cunning; he won't possess an ordinary body. Of course, his best choice is his original body. If there's really no other way, he'll choose the reincarnator with the highest potential, and once that reincarnator reaches S7 level, he'll possess that body..."

Li Wei's cup trembled. He suddenly remembered the encounter between himself and the Main God in the Monster Hunter World.

Back then, wasn't the other party constantly urging me to quickly improve my combat power to S9? It turns out, he chose me, his goal being to seize my body.

That's terrible.

However, we cannot completely trust the monster in front of us.

"Alright, I'll ask you this: since the Mage's Tomb is a space you created, why can't you open it and let me out?"

"That's what you don't understand. It's like a room with two doors. I control the inner door, and Mordor controls the outer door. He opened the outer door so you could enter the Mage's Tomb to collect the corpses. As for me... just like you think, I did open the inner door to take over your body. That way, you and the other reincarnators can enter. But to get out, both doors need to be open simultaneously... I don't really care. If you're so capable, why don't you threaten Mordor and make him open the door for you?"

Li Wei ignored him.

Now, Li Wei understood why he and the fat man had entered this true 'Mage's Tomb'. Now, he faced a real problem: to get out, he had to fulfill the demands of the Main God, Mordor.

After glancing at the monster, Li Wei thought of a detail.

"How did you obtain the magic from the Fire Spirit Remnant?"

The monster's head glanced at Li Wei, then said disdainfully, "That's my secret technique; I can't reveal it."

Five minutes later, it obediently told Li Wei about this 'secret technique that is inconvenient to reveal'. As for what happened during those five minutes, only he and Li Wei probably know.

Li Wei retrieved the water-related debris and threw it in front of the monster.

"Help me extract the magic from inside, and I'll consider letting you live. Of course, you'll have to live in this Copper Pot World. Going out won't do you any good," Li Wei said, smashing the monster's head to pieces with a single palm strike.

Suddenly, a plume of white smoke shot out from the shattered skull, accompanied by an angry hiss.

"Don't think I don't know. Since you're possessing this monster's body, it's obvious that you're powerless without a host. You've waited so long and told me so much, all you want is to regain your fighting strength. Unfortunately, all I need to do is destroy your last refuge to completely thwart your plans. Am I right?"

The white smoke formed a vague human figure in the air. This figure had only a pair of glowing eyes, and all other features were blurred. It could be blown away by a gust of wind.

At this moment, those eyes were filled with resentment as it looked at Li Wei. Clearly, Li Wei was right; it had indeed been trying to gather its strength for a final desperate attempt. But now, with the monster's head shattered, it had completely lost its chance to retaliate.

"I'll say it again: help me extract the magic from the water-based debris. If you can't even do that, what use are you to me?"

Li Wei's voice already carried a hint of murderous intent.

Although the white mist figure's eyes showed resentment, it still nodded. Then it raised its hand, and wisps of white smoke curled up the water-type limbs and merged them into its body. After about ten minutes, it spat out the water-type remains.

Li Wei could clearly sense that the magic power on the water-type remnant had decreased by about half. Of course, if one's senses were insufficient, this would be completely imperceptible. The white mist figure also spat out three Skill Book.

Seemingly unwilling, the white-mist man tossed the three Skill Book to Li Wei.

"Advanced water magic, master-level water magic, and grandmaster-level water magic—I really have to thank you for saving me the time of improving my magical level through meditation. But, can't you really teach me this secret technique?" Li Wei asked while studying the three Skill Book.

"No matter what, I am still the former Main God. The law of creating Skill Book in the current mission world relies on my special skills. Extracting skills and then making Skill Book is my special skill. It's just a pity that it exists with my soul and cannot be extracted, so don't even think about it." The white-smoked man's tone was filled with resentment, but he didn't dare to offend Li Wei, revealing a trace of helplessness and a little bit of pride.
