Chapter 2

Fifteen years ago, a terrible disaster swept through the multiverse, destroying countless universes along its path and tearing through the Crystal Walls, invading the 'Sitaheim Crystal Wall System.'

Since then, the 'Sitaheim Crystal Wall System' has been in chaos, with the magic network shattered, the gods losing their power, hell opening, and the abyss breaking free, plunging the world into an apocalypse.

This unprecedented disaster not only severely disrupted and even damaged the internal world rules of the 'Crystal Wall System,' but also left an incurable wound on the once indestructible Crystal Walls.

Moreover, a building known as the 'Reincarnation Hall,' whose origin was unknown, was swept by the temporal chaos and rushed into 'Sitaheim,' ultimately falling onto the material plane and merging with the world.

In the decades following the disaster, demons from the abyss, hell, and the underworld invaded the material plane, wreaking havoc, spreading fear, and causing chaos, leading to the collapse of the material plane's order. Even the gods who had fallen to earth could only protect themselves.

The rupture of the magic network left countless mages, who relied on it, experiencing the forced disconnection of the network.

Humans lost their proud magical powers, and the gods were preoccupied with their own survival. Just as everyone despaired and believed the world was about to end, one by one, unknown individuals disappeared without a trace.

No one knew where they went, and no one cared. Perhaps they were killed by demons or slaughtered by other marauders. In any case, who cared?

However, not long after, a small group of lucky individuals returned to the world with mysterious powers from other dimensions. They turned the tide, supported the collapsing structure, and took up the banner of saving the world, fighting against the evil natural disasters.

In the end, they slaughtered demons, killed liches, tore apart dragons, and seized divine ranks, opening a new chapter on this chaotic land.

From then on, magic was no longer the only power, and Sitaheim saw the emergence of a large number of powers from other dimensions. These powerful individuals, whether righteous or evil, were collectively known as 'New Heroes.'

What happened behind these heroes? This was a question of concern to everyone, even the gods. However, all the heroes remained silent, never speaking about it.

Over the decades, the powers from other dimensions have gradually spread and integrated into the magical world. However, the origin of these powers remains the greatest mystery, driving countless seekers of power to madness.

...

At this moment, Li Mo, whose body had recovered to its best state, could hardly believe it as he repeatedly touched his chest, where the wound as thick as a teacup had completely disappeared, and even the tattered leather armor on his body had been restored.

If he hadn't personally experienced the suffocating feeling of near-death, his soul would still be in absolute fear, unable to calm down for a long time. Otherwise, he would have thought it was just a dream.

No, the leather armor was repaired, but the bloodstains had not been removed. In this empty, object-less space, the strong smell of blood was even more pungent.

"What happened? Where am I?" Li Mo touched his face, feeling the absolutely real and warm sensation, and muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion.

When he spoke, it wasn't the familiar language of his past, but the most standard common language of 'Sitaheim.' As his body recovered, his soul had completely merged with this body, and the chaotic memories had become instinctively imprinted in his soul, allowing him to skillfully use the foreign language.

The original owner of this body was named 'Victor,' a commoner by birth. He was a member of a gang called 'White Bird Gang' in Red Maple Town, a hooligan in the magical plane, and had just turned fourteen.

Today, he was assigned a suicidal mission and, like other extras, died silently and miserably.

Fortunately, 'Li Mo' eventually crossed over and possessed him, changing Victor's originally tragic fate as a cannon fodder.

At this moment, a knowledge that did not belong to Li Mo or Victor suddenly flooded his mind:

In Sitaheim, there is a very small number of special beings with the potential to 'traverse time and space.' They could be humans, devils, rats, or reptiles. However, these beings rarely have the opportunity to activate this potential throughout their lives and ultimately die in obscurity.

While possessing the 'trait' is rare, the conditions to activate it are even more stringent. Each being has a different method to activate the 'trait.' Even powerful beings like legendary mages or gods may not be able to activate it.

However, everything changed fifteen years ago...

...

"Welcome to the Reincarnation Hall. Here, you will accept one task after another, traveling through different times and spaces, completing tasks to earn rewards, or being buried in other dimensions."

The eerie voice reappeared in his mind, startling Li Mo into jumping up. He instinctively drew the short blade from his waist, held it in front of him, and assumed a defensive stance, but there was no one in sight.

"Who? Who is speaking? Come out!" Li Mo shouted into the empty space.

"This is the Reincarnation Hall." The eerie voice answered without addressing his question, sounding incredibly stiff.

Hearing this, Li Mo quickly surveyed his surroundings.

An empty hall, or rather, a large hall. It was square in layout, about several dozen meters long and wide, with an area so large and a ceiling about ten meters high, as if it were built for giants. However, the interior of the space was completely empty, with no murals on the walls and only smooth-cut marble on the floor.

"Why am I here? What is your purpose?" Li Mo asked again.

"The new reincarnator possesses the 'time-traveling' trait. The blood activated the 'reincarnation relic,' meeting the requirements, and entered the Reincarnation Hall to participate in the trial."

"Relic? What relic?"

Li Mo was confused. Could a soul transfer bring something along? And the scene before him was so similar to the main god space, but where was the main god? The glowing egg? What the hell, is the magic world also starting to follow the trend of 'Endless Horror'? Or is it the gods' whims?

Despite having countless complaints in his heart, Li Mo couldn't voice them. His current situation was too chaotic and dire. He had just crossed over and died, and then was immediately brought into this 'Reincarnation Hall.'

Everything was unfamiliar and bizarre. He was eager to understand his situation, to know what would happen next, and to sort out and absorb the fragmented memories in his mind. He had no time to study the similarities and differences between the 'Reincarnation Hall' and the 'main god space.'

The voice just said that his body had the 'time-traveling' trait. Was it because he had crossed over, or did Victor's body have something special? Or did the combination of the two trigger the 'trait'?

Right, the relic! The relic! That's the key! What is this strange voice talking about? Since I am a soul transfer, it must be related to 'Victor'!

Could it be this leather armor, or the short sword? That's ridiculous. So many people with the same appearance died, but only I was chosen. It can't be the equipment. Wait, the necklace! The ring! The earring!

Li Mo quickly searched his entire body and only found a few copper coins in his pocket. It seemed that his situation wasn't good, and he was a poor and destitute person in both his past and present lives.

Soon, he felt a strange package at the back of his waist and held it in his hand. Li Mo remembered this thing. He had taken it from a shelf in an old goods store in the morning, planning to sell it on the black market after completing his mission today. Could this be the so-called relic?

At this moment, the eerie voice spoke again.

"Detected the previous reincarnator's relic. Do you want to recycle it?"

It is indeed this!

"What are the benefits of recycling?" After a few exchanges, Li Mo's courage grew, and he was no longer as fearful. He was not a coward, and the 'Reincarnation Hall,' which was extremely similar to the main god space, gave him a sense of familiarity.

Compared to the unfamiliar and chaotic magical plane, where demons and devils roamed and one could die at any street corner, the 'Reincarnation Hall' felt safer.
