After hearing this, Li Wei didn't press the matter, since he had already gotten what he wanted.

"It's safe here. No one but me can detect your presence, so stay here peacefully. It's much more comfortable than that dark and gloomy tomb."

The white-smoke figure remained silent, and Li Wei, too lazy to say anything more, simply Shifting Forms and Changing Positions outside the Copper Pot. He then sealed off the Copper Pot World and exhaled a stream of light, taking the Copper Pot into his mouth. In this way, no one would notice anything amiss.

The next step for Li Wei was a rather dangerous one: to reassemble the six severed limbs. Of course, before that, Li Wei, whose water magic had already reached the Grandmaster level, could learn the S-rank special skill 'Mirror Image'.

The learning process went very smoothly. When the Skill Book shattered and flowed into Li Wei's body, along with the light, all the information about the 'Mirror Image' also entered his body.

' Mirror Image, S-rank water magic, can replicate a single target. The Mirror Image puppet exists for 60 minutes and gains all of the target's special skills. The Mirror Image will disappear upon being attacked... It can only be cast on one target at a time and cannot be Mirror Image.'

Li Wei nodded. Although this special skill had many limitations, it could not overshadow the excellence of the Mirror Image. In the future, relying on this Mirror Image, Li Wei would have a great advantage in one-on-one battles.

Imagine that even the most powerful enemy, once Mirror Image, will create a puppet with the same combat strength and special skills as the enemy. Although this puppet is as fragile as a porcelain vase, its value will be revealed if it is properly protected. And an unsuspecting enemy might suffer a great loss because of it.

Li Wei summoned the Blood Demon and tested it. Sure enough, under the Mirror Image, a puppet exactly like the Blood Demon appeared, and it could cast various spells. However, the weakness of the Mirror Image was just like its name: it was extremely fragile. It was shattered with a single blow and disappeared without a trace.

Li Wei knew that if the Mirror Image truly inherited the defensive capabilities of the copied entity, then he would be truly invincible. After all, even against a powerful being like the Main God, he only needed to Mirror Image opponent.

He checked the time; he had been in the Copper Pot all day. Fearing the fat man was getting impatient, he Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to the underground fiery lava cave.

Sure enough, the fat man was clutching a rock, forcefully pounding on the blocked passage. Because of the heat, his clothes had been pulled off, revealing his muscular physique, and he was drenched in sweat, looking utterly disheveled. Upon seeing Li Wei suddenly appear, the fat man froze for a moment, then his eyes widened. He ran over and grabbed Li Wei's leg, refusing to let go. At the same time, he muttered, "Brother Li, I knew you wouldn't abandon me! Is there any water? I'm dying of thirst..."

After leading the fat man away from the fiery lava cave, Li Wei told him how he dealt with the fire monster, but omitted the detail of capturing it in the Copper Pot, as the fewer people who knew about it, the better. The fat man, upon hearing this, kept praising Li Wei's resourcefulness and bravery, fearing that Li Wei would abandon him again. Now, the fat man completely regarded Li Wei as his protector, showering him with flattery and praise.

Next, Li Wei had to make a life-or-death decision.

The six pieces of the corpse have been collected, but it's clear this dungeon quest is a trap specifically designed to lure him into gathering them. Perhaps, as the self-proclaimed Main God in white smoke said, he has collected the corpse of the current Main God, Mordor. Will the other party kill him to silence him after obtaining his body?

This possibility is very high, after all, in the eyes of the Main God, reincarnators are no different from ants.

However, if the body parts aren't pieced together, it seems the Main God outside the 'door' won't be able to open the sealed dungeon world. Does this mean I and Fatty will be trapped here forever?

Rather than that, Li Wei would rather fight to the death with his opponent.

So, is there a way to leave without having the Main God War kill you to silence you?

Li Wei thought for a long time before suddenly slapping his forehead and having an idea.

The fat man was feeling very comfortable. Compared to the scorching cave, this somewhat dark and damp tomb was like paradise. However, his good days didn't last long before he heard a deafening roar.

"What's going on?" The fat man sprang to his feet and asked Li Wei, who was standing nearby.

"How should I know?" Li Wei rolled his eyes at the fat man.

Soon, the screams grew louder and louder, and then a monster engulfed in flames burst out of a tomb. The fat man was terrified when he saw it.

"Brother Li, didn't you say you killed this monster? How come it's alive again?"

"This monster might have other tricks up its sleeve. Don't just stand there and watch, hurry up and attack!" Li Wei cursed, stood up and fired a Finger Thunder. The fat man also picked up a stone slab and hurled it at the monster.

However, the monster spewed out a ball of flame, which rendered their attacks ineffective. Then, with another roar, a powerful impact exploded out and slammed into them. The fat man felt a pressure coming at him, and then his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he saw Li Wei lying not far away, his condition unknown, covered in wounds and blood, looking extremely pitiful.

"Even Brother Li..." The fat man swallowed hard, but remained motionless, continuing to play dead. He could sense that the monster was not far away.

After a while, the fat man couldn't resist his curiosity and secretly took a look. He discovered that the monster had actually pieced together the six pieces of the corpse. The fat man recognized the six pieces of the corpse from the mural.

"So this monster brutally beat Brother Li and then stole the Water Spirit Remnant. No wonder Brother Li was so injured. Luckily, it wasn't me, otherwise, I would have been the one suffering the Pain."

Thinking of this, the fat man was extremely grateful to Li Wei, not for any other reason than that Li Wei had swapped the Earth Spirit Remains from him back then, which indirectly saved his life.

Soon, the fire monster pieced the six remains together.

"Will he inherit the legacy of the God of Magic?" The fat man was still pondering this question.

A soft light suddenly appeared on the pieced-together corpse, and then a 'door' appeared in the light.

"What is this?" The fat man squinted, his mind a little confused. But what surprised him even more was what followed: a figure appeared on the other side of the 'door'.

"Nabro, haha, I never expected you to still be alive?" The person inside the 'door' let out a sarcastic laugh upon seeing the fire monster.

"Hmph," the fire monster sneered, then shouted, "What you didn't expect was that I would be the one to piece your body together, did you? Mordor, you despicable scoundrel, you thought you could defeat me and collect my corpse by sending in a few reincarnators? Haha, let me tell you, no way! The reincarnators you sent are all extremely weak, far inferior to you before!"

This sentence reveals the identity of the person within the "gate" and serves as a reminder that "you were once a reincarnator as well."

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Nabro, saying these things only further exposes your incompetence. Right now, you are a monster inhabiting a vile 'flesh,' while I am the current supreme Main God controls everything. But to be honest, I thought Li Wei could pull off Miracle, but I didn't expect him to be defeated by you..."

After a pause, the Main God continued, "Did you gather my body together just to say these useless things to me?"

"No, I just want to show you that I will personally kill your lackey..."

"In my eyes, they are like ants. Since they have failed, they are of no use anymore. Kill them or do with them as you please."

"Is that so?" The fire monster Nabro sneered, then suddenly thumped his body, making the flames around him even hotter. Then, he spat out a large ball of Flame Spider from his mouth.

"What are you going to do?" The Main God within the 'gate' was taken aback, but was about to make a move.

"Too late. I gathered these six body parts to completely destroy them in front of you, so you can say goodbye to your original form forever," the fire monster Nabro let out a strange laugh.

"You dare? Aren't you afraid I'll seal this place off permanently, so you'll never see the light of day again?" The voice from inside the 'door' was clearly terrified. As he spoke, he stepped out of the 'door,' and a powerful pressure immediately descended from the sky, causing the fat man to suffocate instantly.

"This is bad, we're going to die if this continues..." The fat man looked terrified, but his limbs were too weak to move.

Upon seeing the actions of the person inside the 'door', the fire monster Nabro immediately commanded the small spiders he had just spat out to envelop the six pieces of remains on the platform. At this moment, even the fat man could clearly hear the disgusting sound of the spiders devouring the remains.

"No..." the person inside the 'door' cried out in alarm, but he knew it was too late. The Flame Spider's devouring power was very strong. Summon Fire Spiders was his own specialty skill, but now, it was these Flame Spider that were devouring his body completely.

"I'm going to trap you here forever, forever... Oh right, didn't you want to kill these two reincarnators in front of me? Haha, I won't let you have your way..." With a flick of his hand, the person in the 'door' caused Li Wei and the fat man to vanish without a trace.

"Killing you would only give me temporary pleasure, but imprisoning you here forever is your true punishment. Remember, you brought this upon yourself..." With that, the person inside the 'door' raised a hand, the pillar of light in the air vanished, and everything returned to calm.

Little did he know that an hour later, the fire monster suddenly vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The fat man felt dizzy and disoriented. Then he found himself lying in a small alley in Shadow Street. He looked to the side and saw Li Wei lying there as well. What surprised him was that Li Wei, who had just been in a state of life or death, was now swaying as he stood up from the ground.
