Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

"This... no way!" Number 5 trembled, reaching out to rub his eyes, but when he opened them again, he was still met with Li Chenqiu's aloof face.

At that moment, Li Chenqiu happened to look up, and their eyes met directly.

"You... don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll scream!" Number 5 grabbed Number 4's arm and retreated backward, trembling.

"Don't be afraid. I kill, but I don't enjoy hurting. It won't hurt," Li Chenqiu thought, and two drops of blood condensed out of thin air. With a "swoosh," they pierced through the space between the two men's eyebrows, killing them painlessly.

After taking care of the two, Li Chenqiu stepped forward and searched their bodies, finding two signal flares, one from the Underworld and the other from the New World.

Having found what he wanted, Li Chenqiu strode towards the gate. Just as he was about to kick it open, the gate seemed to have eyes and opened to both sides with a "click."

"It's quite observant," Li Chenqiu muttered in surprise, then set off the two signal flares directly in front of the gate.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two signal flares shot into the sky, two red and blue dots gradually brightening until they emitted a dazzling light in the dim sky.

Li Chenqiu nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and returned to the palace, waiting for the others to arrive.

He did this for two reasons, but ultimately, they both served the same purpose: to confirm whether the Mirror People really existed. The statements of three people were too weak and didn't prove anything. He needed more people.

If there were Mirror People in this mountain forest, they would definitely rush here upon seeing these two signal flares.

Even if no Mirror People came, these two signal flares would definitely attract some Resurrectors, whom he could then interrogate thoroughly.

...

...

In the dark mountain forest, a figure moved through the dense canopy like an ape.

This person was none other than He Lu, the middle-aged man from the Antong Division trio!

At this moment, He Lu's face was pale, covered in fine beads of sweat, and his tight-fitting combat suit was torn into strips, hanging on his body.

Although his physical condition was not good, He Lu's eyes did not dim in the slightest, steadfastly focused on the front, dodging the pursuit behind him, seeking a way out.

About a hundred meters behind him, a humanoid giant, fifty meters tall, rampaged through the mountain forest, his eyes fixed on He Lu with burning intensity.

The giant was disheveled, completely naked, and his round eyes were like two blood lanterns, swaying under the blood moon. In his protruding teeth, one could see severed arms, his expression savage and terrifying.

The trees in the forest barely reached the giant's knees. With each step the giant took, the trees fell forward like dominoes, stirring up dust that blotted out the sky.

Around the giant, there were also a dozen smaller giants, less than twenty meters tall, also chasing after He Lu madly, forming an encircling net.

Behind these giants, a group of people followed leisurely, led by the Underworld's Horse-Face.

"The people of the Antong Division are indeed skilled; they can escape under these circumstances," Horse-Face praised generously.

Half an hour ago, Horse-Face arrived at the Underworld's territory. To facilitate the operation, he gathered more than twenty Underworld members around him via walkie-talkie. Then, the group discovered an ancient city in the mountain forest.

Driven by curiosity, Horse-Face led his subordinates into the ancient city and found a key on a high tower. However, they were not the only ones to discover the key; Antong Division's He Lu and Zheng Kang were also present.

Immediately afterward, a battle broke out between the two sides. However, due to the small area of the tower floor, the Underworld could not take advantage of its numerical superiority, and the key was snatched by the Antong Division.

He Lu left the tower with the key, while Zheng Kang stayed behind to hold off the Underworld group, buying time for He Lu to distance himself.

But just as He Lu stepped out of the ancient city gate, the buildings inside the city collapsed instantly like quicksand.

Amidst the ruins, huge palms burst out of the ground, and tall giants crawled out of the ruins, running towards the direction He Lu had escaped.

Horse-Face and his group, as well as Zheng Kang, who were in the ancient city, were also affected. However, these giants' target was He Lu, and only a few of Horse-Face's group died.

But Zheng Kang was different. Due to bad luck, he ran head-on into the leading large giant and was swallowed directly, his fate unknown.

In order to obtain the key in He Lu's hand, Horse-Face led his subordinates to follow the giants from a distance, creating the current situation: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"Sir, these giants are probably all after that key. If we get this key, won't we also face pursuit?" a Resurrector asked uneasily.

Horse-Face narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "There will always be a way forward. The boat will right itself when it reaches the pier. There must be a solution; I just haven't found it yet. Let me think about it."

At the same time, He Lu's condition was getting worse and worse. He felt like his limbs were about to fall apart, becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

He Lu looked at the key in his palm, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.

The final assessment allows five people to participate, and the five people correspond to five keys. There might be some connection between the two.

With the key, he might have the qualification to participate in the final assessment and have the opportunity to obtain a Spirit Profound Weapon. He didn't want to give up this opportunity, but if he didn't give up, he risked losing his life.

"Damn it!" He Lu cursed through gritted teeth. Just as his hand holding the key was about to loosen, the dark mountain forest suddenly lit up, red and blue light intertwined, briefly dispelling the shadows.

He Lu raised his head, his gaze passing through the gaps between the leaves, looking towards the sky. What met his eyes were two light spots as dazzling as the sun.

"This is... the signal flares of the Underworld and the New World!" He Lu widened his eyes, looking at the sky in disbelief. The excessive shock caused his rushing footsteps to pause for a moment.

Which idiot launched the signal flares? Doesn't he know there are Mirror People in the Underworld?

And there are two signal flares. Is he afraid others won't see him, so he's rushing to be a live target?

Not only was He Lu dumbfounded, but Horse-Face, who was following behind, was also dumbfounded.

"Huh?" Horse-Face stared blankly at the sky in the distance. "Signal flares?"

"Sir, did our people and the people from the New World start fighting and are seeking support?" someone guessed.

Horse-Face said with an ugly expression, "Damn it, are they idiots? Setting off signal flares in this place!"

"Then should we go and support them?" The woman standing next to Horse-Face asked cautiously.

"I'm afraid we have no choice."

Horse-Face stared at the direction where He Lu was.
