Old Li was still peering out, his face growing paler and his hands trembling.

"Old Li," Yun Yi said, "let's go. It's nothing serious."

Old Li turned to look at Yun Yi, then at the dark red beam of light that blotted out the sky, and his lips trembled slightly: "Teacher Yun, isn't this a big deal?"

"No," Yun Yi said calmly. "At least we're safe here."

Old Li didn't understand, but he still started the car.

The car rejoined the traffic and headed towards the hotel.

The dark red beam of light in the rearview mirror grew farther and farther away, but it never disappeared.

……

In the hotel room, Yun Yi sat on the sofa, with more than a dozen light screens floating in front of him.

Each screen displays different content—live news, social media, government announcements, and international forums.

All the scenes are telling the same thing: that dark red pillar of light, and that being who calls himself the "Destroyer of Worlds".

"The Destroyer of Worlds".

The name Ji Wujiu gave himself was so cringeworthy it made your teeth ache.

But his acting was indeed impeccable—in the scene on the screen, the figure stood in the center of a dark red pillar of light, surrounded by dark red lightning, with six pairs of dark red wings spreading out behind him that blotted out the sky.

Each wing was made up of countless twisted faces that screamed, cried, and roared in agony, making chilling noises.

His voice came from the end of the sky, a metallic echo that seemed to resonate throughout the entire world:

"I am the Lord of Destruction."

"From this day forward, this world belongs to me."

In the image, the city beneath his feet trembles violently in a dark red light.

The streets were filled with running crowds, screams, cries, and car sirens blaring all at once.

Fighter jets from various countries scrambled to take off in the sky, but no one dared to approach the dark red beam of light—those who had approached earlier had all been struck by a bolt of red lightning and reduced to ashes.

As the fighter jet approached, Ji Wujiu's clone was struck by dark red lightning, and then turned into ashes and disappeared completely.

He even deliberately chose to strike at the moment the camera was focused on him.

The footage of this attack, which "massacred tens of thousands of people," was successfully disseminated on major platforms and spread around the world.

This further amplified the infamous reputation of the "Destroyer of Worlds".

Yun Yi watched the performance of the "Destroyer of Worlds" on the screen, his lips twitching slightly.

Ji Wujiu clearly played the villain very well.

Although the dark red lightning and the red beam of light that looked destructive were mostly special effects.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a god.

An invincible god who destroys everything.

……

Global social media exploded that night.

The next day, a second "evil god" appeared.

Above the northern ice plains, a deep blue beam of light pierced through the ice and soared into the sky.

Standing within the pillar of light was a figure covered in ice crystals, who called himself the "Lord of Eternal Winter".

He was surrounded by a blizzard, which shrouded the entire ice field in sub-zero temperatures.

The third day, third place.

On the seabed of the South China Sea, a beam of emerald green light rises from the depths of the trench, calling itself the "Tide Master".

He manipulated the hundred-meter-high waves, creating a deafening roar as they crashed against the uninhabited islands and reefs.

The fourth day, fourth place.

In the Western Desert, a beam of earth-yellow light emerged from the shifting sands, proclaiming itself "Lord of the Abyss."

Beneath his feet lay endless quicksand, which swallowed up an abandoned ancient city.

The fifth day, fifth place.

A crimson pillar of light erupted from the lava of a volcano in Japan, calling itself the "Throne of the Flame Demon".

He was surrounded by lava and black smoke, which doubled the size of the crater.

Five days, five "evil gods".

Simultaneously present in the world.

The world was engulfed in panic, unease, and even despair.

……

Other reincarnators naturally noticed these unusual phenomena.

When the five beams of light, each a different color, shot into the sky from five different corners of the earth almost simultaneously, everyone looked up at the same instant.

Deep within a cave on an unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean, a figure shrouded in a black robe opened his eyes from meditation.

His pupils were vertical, like the eyes of a snake, gleaming with a cold, eerie green light in the darkness.

His divine sense spread out like a spider web, traversing thousands of kilometers of ocean, and finally reached the source of those beams of light.

"What the hell?"

The man in black robes frowned, assuming he was a local deity like Tai Cang Xi Zhi.

But after he carefully sensed the power contained in those beams of light, his expression changed from vigilance to confusion, from confusion to absurdity, and from absurdity to a subtle feeling that was hard to describe. The five beams of light looked devastating and the sense of oppression they gave people was indeed ridiculously strong, but their cores were as empty as a giant soap bubble, colorful but easily burst.

Special effects.

The man in black robes gave an accurate assessment.

His lips twitched, then twitched again, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

He didn't understand: why would a reincarnator in this world not cultivate properly, hide properly, or look for opportunities to complete their mission, but instead come out and put on this kind of flashy special effects show?

Do you think you're living too long?

Are they afraid that Tai Cangxi will not be able to find him?

Or are they just bored?

The man in black robes was unaware of the situation of this reincarnator.

But this might be his chance.

Such a weak reincarnator dares to expose himself—it's probably bait prepared by an authority figure to lure out all the remaining hunters.

But it must be said that this method is indeed very good.

Because the longer it drags on, the stronger the privileged become, and now is the hunter's only chance to win.

So even if they know it's bait, the hunter will still take the bait.

He had to admit—this person with the authority was very clever.

……

Deep in the European Alps, in an ancient castle covered in ice and snow, a woman stands before a broken French window, gazing at the dark red beam of light on the eastern horizon.

She was wearing a deep red evening gown with a low neckline, and a black phoenix with outstretched wings was tattooed on her collarbone.

Her skin was as white as porcelain, her lips as red as blood, and her eyes were deep purple with tiny starlight swirling in her pupils.

Her name is Su Ye, she is in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and she is a reincarnator.

Su Ye looked at it for a moment, then a half-smile appeared on his lips.

She could tell what the real entity behind those beams of light was—an Authority User, an Authority User with numerous clones and maxed-out survival abilities.

Over the years, she has been tricked several times and killed him multiple times, but the Crystal still can't be used.

She had already suspected it.

Now, the other party is not deliberately concealing his aura—or rather, in that special effects-filled performance, he doesn't care at all about being seen through.

What puzzled Su Ye was not why he exposed himself, but the meaning behind it.

What else can an authority figure achieve by creating such a "world-ending" event on a global scale, besides making the whole world aware of his existence and making all local gods his target?

She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

But they also knew that this was the hunters' only chance.

No matter what the other party wants to do, she has to go and fight.

Because she doesn't have much time left.
