Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

A sudden burst of white light enveloped everyone. The island scenery distorted and dissipated, and after a brief period of weightlessness, the group landed steadily back in the empty main square.

After a brief moment of disorientation, clarity returned abruptly, the dizziness subsided, and Wang Qi and his group had already steadily stepped back into the Main God Space.

The vast, deathly silent main god plaza was deserted; the entire greyish-white circular platform was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. In the very center of the plaza, the eternally suspended orb of light of the main god hung silently.

It flows with a warm yet boundless pure white halo, like a star that has existed since the birth of the universe, carrying a mysterious, majestic, and inviolable overwhelming pressure.

At the edge of the platform, twenty tightly closed portals stood side by side, cold and silent.

Having just returned from the Resident Evil world, the group had little to talk about and dispersed in silence to rest in their private quarters.

Wang Qi returned to his room, placed his hand on the doorknob, and focused his mind.

He opened the door, and the room layout had transformed into the place where he had lived for over four years in the Resident Evil world, just like the one on the island.

Wang Qi stepped inside and gently closed the door behind him.

……

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

The following morning, an invisible spatial fluctuation quietly descended, and a huge golden stone tablet appeared out of thin air.

Zheng Zha pushed open the door and walked out. He looked up and saw that everyone in the square had already gathered, their eyes fixed on the golden stone tablet in mid-air.

The stone tablet hovered five meters above the ground, its entire body shimmering with a soft, dazzling golden light, exuding a solemn aura of order, silently capturing the attention of everyone present.

When Zhang Jie saw Zheng Zha arrive late, a casual smile appeared on his lips, and his tone was somewhat lazy and teasing:

"Zheng Zha, you're quite late. You're the only one missing. Come and take a look at this stone tablet. The new rules unlocked by the main god contain some rather interesting things."

Zheng Zha scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, and gave an awkward smile. He could clearly sense that after the special training, Zhang Jie's entire demeanor had shed its former restlessness and gloom, becoming much more composed.

But he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked up and gazed at the floating golden stone tablet.

The stone tablet shares the same origin as the main deity and possesses its own spiritual connection mechanism. Simply by focusing your attention on it, a massive amount of information will directly flood into your mind, crystal clear.

[When this team appears, or when three or more humans have already unlocked their genetic potential, this information will automatically appear and remain in this God Space.]

As we all foresee, when the biological gene lock is unlocked to the fifth level, that is, the final level of the gene lock, organisms will completely evolve into a higher level of life.

Therefore, whether the human world will progress or suffer catastrophe as a result depends entirely on the will of that being.

However, in order to prevent a collision between two or more high-level organisms that could lead to the complete extinction of humanity, we have established the following regulations.

[...when the team has three or more humans who have unlocked their genetic potential...]

Next... program error, postponed...

The team will randomly collide with other "God" space teams from other continents in a horror movie. If either team kills a member of the other team, they will receive 2000 reward points and one C-level side quest.

Killing an enemy member who has unlocked their genetic lock will grant you 7000 reward points and one B-level side quest.

If the entire opposing team is wiped out, each member of the surviving team will receive a C-level side quest reward.

[...There is no cruelty, no manipulation, no distinction between justice and evil...Only one team can survive in the end. If you don't want to die, then keep evolving beyond your limits...]

"What...what is this?!"

Zheng Zha's pupils shrank sharply, his tone filled with disbelief and shock, and a chill inexplicably ran down his spine.

The playful expression on Zhang Jie's face vanished completely, replaced by a solemn look. He was already aware of the brutal rules of the Samsara Squad's team battles, but he never expected that this day would come so suddenly and swiftly.

"In other words, in future horror movie missions, we will encounter reincarnation teams from other continents at any time, and we must fight to the death."

Zheng Zha spoke in a deep voice, his brows furrowed with seriousness. The grotesque monsters and deadly dangers in horror movies were already enough to keep one constantly on the run.

Now, with the addition of other hunters who harbor murderous intent and possess similar enhancements and combat abilities, the difficulty of survival has suddenly increased exponentially.

"That's right."

Wang Qi stepped forward slowly, his tone calm yet his words piercing, instantly shattering any lingering hope in the crowd:

"Team battles are unsolvable, and there is no possibility of long-term peaceful coexistence. The main god's core selection mechanism is 'raising Gu' (a type of insect infestation). If the Gu worms refuse to fight or resist evolution, they will only be directly annihilated."

Rather than engaging in mutual suspicion and avoidance, we should understand that the supreme deity is the one we should least provoke.

The cold words fell silent, and everyone completely extinguished any thoughts of escape or compromise.

A somber atmosphere enveloped the square, and everyone's faces were heavy.

Seeing this, Zheng Zha quickly suppressed his unease and took the initiative to speak up to ease the atmosphere and try to stabilize the team's morale:

"Don't be too pessimistic. Zhang Jie also said that unlocking the gene lock is extremely difficult, and not all other teams may have high-level awakened individuals."

Perhaps our Zhongzhou team is the top-tier team among all the Reincarnation teams. Let's not worry about team battles yet; let's use this rest period to properly plan our next training direction.

"Zheng Zha is right."

Wang Qi chimed in at the opportune moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone calm and confident: "The overall evaluation of the Zhongzhou team is not top-notch, but the true combat strength of all of us has long exceeded the paper rating given by the main god."

The main god always matches opponents according to the principle of balanced strength, and will not allow overwhelmingly powerful enemies to run into us prematurely. In other words, the enemy teams we encounter in the future will most likely be weaker than us.

With Wang Qi's reassuring words and Zheng Zha's comforting words, Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi, and the others relaxed slightly, and the huge weight on their hearts was temporarily lifted.

What Wang Qi didn't mention was that because of Zhang Jie and his score-boosting behavior, the rating on the main god's side had already exploded.

Wang Qi glanced at Zhang Jie, and their eyes met. In that instant, they understood each other perfectly. He looked at the team members who had relaxed, and none of them chose to expose the undercurrent beneath the calm surface.

-

Earlier, at the training grounds in the Resident Evil world,

Wang Qi made it very clear to them that he would not be the captain of the Zhongzhou team, had no intention of taking charge of the team, and was only responsible for maintaining the fighting strength.

Wang Qi glanced at Zhang Jie, who was in a strange state, and continued, "You all know Zhang Jie's situation. He is burdened with his own limitations and is simply not suitable for leading and coordinating a team. He cannot shoulder the responsibility for the life and death of the entire team."

Zhan Lan nodded slightly and softly agreed, "Indeed, Zhang Jie's performance has been inconsistent. I've chosen Zheng Zha as the captain."

Li Xiaoyi quickly chimed in, "Zhan Lan is right, Zheng Zha is the most suitable."

After a brief discussion, the group reached a conclusion.

Everyone unanimously agreed that Zheng Zha would be the new captain of the Zhongzhou team. Wang Qi calmly stayed out of the power struggle, neither vying for nor fighting for it. He simply sat in the back as the team's strongest core combat force, deterring crises and stabilizing the overall situation, becoming the most solid support in everyone's hearts.
