Should we reset it to zero?

Or should we fight against zero?

For most people in this world, this is not a choice.

Fang Ze arrived at Xiaoguang Town, which was originally the stronghold of the Angel Clan. After the Human Clan won the battle against Rona, the town came under the control of the Human Clan.

To be precise, the angels have become human.

"The passage ahead is blocked."

"Don't go any further."

Two demigods guarded the passage, which was originally a passage leading to the Manyun Plane.

Fang Ze frowned: "This place has also been sealed off."

I heard that with the initial completion of the boundary wall, the upper boundary has been completely sealed off.

I originally thought that this remote town might not be guarded.

Unexpectedly, the human guards still settled down here.

boom!

Just then, a loud explosion came from not far away!

The soldiers guarding the passage all turned to look.

A colossal beast, its body flowing with lava, rose from the ground!

"Monster! A monster!"

Boom!

As the behemoth rose, billowing lava erupted like a volcano! Centered on the town, it instantly blasted away almost half of the town!

In an instant, lava surged and countless lives were lost.

The ordinary people in the town scattered and fled!

The two guards who were originally stationed at the passage have already rushed out!

"It's a demigod!"

"Are they from the Zero Order, or monsters?"

"have no idea!"

Xiaoguang Town itself is not a large town. Although the human race is powerful, it is not so much that they would station troops of demigod level or above in every town in the upper realm.

It's already quite a luxury to have two demigods guarding this place.

"Depend on."

Fang Ze felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the giant beast standing up.

Subgod.

He had toiled away for two months to finally obtain the power of a demigod among humans and acquire the position of the God of Righteousness.

"Help!"

"My Lord God!"

"Help!"

Lava surged and spread throughout the town!

"roar!!!"

In the very center of the town, the colossal beast roared to the sky!

A blazing fire erupted in the sky!

boom!

There weren't many teleportation arrays in this town, only three in the town center, and all three of them were destroyed when the giant beast rose from the ground.

"Report this immediately!"

"It's already been reported, but reinforcements might not arrive so quickly!"

No one could have imagined that a demigod would attack in this remote, unremarkable town.

The mortals fled, and after the demigod appeared, it did not immediately cause widespread destruction.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the town's strongmen led the weak to flee.

Escape this battlefield as soon as possible.

if……

If this can be called a battlefield.

Three demigods against one quasi-god—the odds of victory are slim, and even holding them off is a pipe dream.

Unless, of course, the person here is a powerful figure like the fearless and aloof Leng Qingying, who can transcend the divine level to kill enemies.

But there were two soldiers sent to stand guard, and a demigod passing by.

It's hard to imagine that there would be such a genius among them. Geniuses are called geniuses precisely because they are so rare...

"Mother……"

"Mom, save me!"

Given such a change, where is there any way to escape it?

While fleeing to avoid the splashing lava, the strong man momentarily lost his grip, causing the little girl he was holding to tumble and fall to the side of the street.

Behind her, rolling lava was already sweeping towards her!

boom!

There was no time to pause and catch one's breath; the lava had already erupted!

The ground where the girl was located was submerged!

The girl's mother, who had been forcibly taken away by the town's powerful figures under her arm, stared in disbelief at the towering lava.

I felt a deep sadness welling up inside me.

Devastated.

"Tsk, the little girl tripping on flat ground is an outdated plot."

However, at that moment, a deep male voice came from beside the girl's mother.

"Hello."

Hold your baby tight.

Fang Ze, holding the girl by the collar with one hand, had already appeared beside her mother.

"you……"

"No, thank you, it was just a small favor."

Fang Ze tossed the little girl to the "stronger one".

The so-called strongman is just a level 60 fighter, a far cry from being a demigod.

The girl's mother wanted to say something more to express her gratitude.

But Fang Ze shouted at him!

"Why aren't you running?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's rebuke, the fighter immediately reacted, grabbing the little girl and the woman, and ran away as fast as he could.

Fang Ze pressed his head.

My head hurts, I really want to just run away.

But when he looked up, he only sighed.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Fang Ze disappeared, leaping into the air and catching seven or eight mortals who were blown away by the lava shockwave.

Seven or eight ordinary people survived.

It was only hit by the blast wave, not scorched by the heat.

Otherwise, the flames of the demigods would be too intense for them to withstand.

Then, Fang Ze used his divine power to throw these mortals far away!

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

These mortals shot out like cannonballs, but their speed quickly decreased, and they landed steadily on the ground.

"Thank you, God!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, God, for saving my life!"

Fang Ze cursed, "Thank me my ass, you guys are running away."

After saying that, Fang Ze turned his head again: "Hey!"

"When will the reinforcements arrive?!"

Fang Ze shouted this.

The shouts were naturally directed at the two soldiers guarding the passage, the regular fighting force of the human race.

At that moment, the two soldiers were also busy rescuing people.

"As fast as three minutes!"

Support can arrive in three minutes, which is already a very fast speed.

However, it involves facing an enemy who is a god-level being.

Three minutes is far too long.

At this time.

The colossal beast, flowing with molten lava like mashed potatoes, turned around, its two clay-like eyes gazing in one direction.

Its body is solidified with lava, already accumulating the power of lava.

"Hello……"

Fang Ze's face was grim.

This is the direction the crowd fled in.

Xiaoguang Town has only two exits, but one of them has been blocked by lava, leaving only the other exit.

For mortals who cannot fly, that is the only way out.

If one is not born with any racial advantages or has not learned any flight-related skills, then one will generally only be able to truly fly when one reaches the demigod level.

Of course, most mages will learn some spells for levitation and flight before becoming gods.

However... a mage cannot represent all mortals.

Most ordinary people are actually much weaker than players of the same level, and some don't even have high-level professions or many decent skills.

"What are your combat strengths, are you both at the peak of the demigod realm, what are your rankings on the leaderboard, and what are your ranks in the arena?" Fang Ze immediately asked.

Both of them looked grim.

"I just reached the demigod level, I'm not even on the leaderboard, and I'm only Diamond III in the arena."

Diamond III...

In terms of actual combat strength, they probably wouldn't even rank in the top tier among demigods.

"I wish I hadn't come."

Depend on!

Fang Ze prided himself on being a righteous and courageous person.

They can't stand seeing sacrifices and always like to meddle in other people's business.

His friends always say he's a saint, always trying to save people who have nothing to do with him, even putting himself in danger.

Some people say that this fantasy world is a game, and these people are all NPCs.

What's the point of helping them and meddling in their business?

Uncle, if you didn't like meddling in other people's business, you might have been able to climb quite a bit higher up the ladder.

but……

Whoosh!

Fang Ze appeared instantly in the direction of the lava eruption!

They stood in front of this demigod.

A shield appeared in his hand, but this shield, which was only of platinum quality and had an enhancement level of only +5, seemed so pale and powerless.

The [Guardian of Willpower (Six Stars) (LV: 6)] that had been formed in front of Fang Ze appeared so weak.

Can it be blocked?

What am I actually doing?

To protect complete strangers, he withstood an attack from a demigod that was impossible to withstand, leaving nothing behind but himself in the process...

Isn't that a bit too ridiculous?

Those friends will laugh at me, won't they?

Whew~

But suddenly, Fang Ze felt a chill!

It was as if we had suddenly fallen into the depths of winter!

But when he regained his senses, he discovered that the enormous lava in front of him, the rolling magma that had erupted into his eyes, had actually frozen into ice.

Frozen along with it... was that terrifyingly powerful demigod monster.

It turned out that scorching white ice pillars appeared in an instant. These enormous ice pillars connected the sky and the earth, and even changed the climate, turning the originally scorching Xiaoguang Town into a frozen wasteland!

A figure in pure white appeared as if a god had descended!

It's already right in front of Fang Ze!

boom!

"You...you are..."

With her back to Fang Ze, her slender figure spoke in a girlish voice, "Izparut."

Upon hearing this name, Fang Ze felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

Izparut?

The legendary true god of magic has actually descended before me!

And judging by her figure... she's a woman?!

"White Deer, the chief destruction mage of the Human Race Godslayer Guild, is a disciple of the guild!"

The ice and snow shattered and dissipated.

The extremely cold weather instantly warmed up, and the broken ice accompanied the white deer's turn.

The newcomer was none other than Bai Lu, one of the highest-ranking members of the human race.

Upon seeing the white deer, both human soldiers stationed there knelt on one knee and paid the highest respects to the deer.

The White Deer is currently ranked second among humans.

Even if Luo Jiutian and Yakatikto came, their status would be similar to that of Bai Lu.

As for Lu Cang, although he is not the Human Emperor, his status is more exalted than that of the Human Emperor.

Bai Lu doesn't put on any airs, nor does she like to act like someone in a superior position.

In the Fantasy Realm, strength speaks for itself; strength is the best foundation.

"Thanks to your immediate report, I was able to arrive in time."

“Yunqing said there was a situation here, and I happened to be nearby.”

The location of Xiaoguang Town is very remote. The nearest other teleportation array is a million kilometers away, and ordinary demigods simply cannot provide support that quickly.

However, the human race is in dire need of the power of false gods.

There's no time to back down now.

Not every demigod possesses the strength of a prodigy, especially given the current rapid pace of advancement.

Even if one advances to the level of a demigod, their strength may still be slightly weaker than that of a typical demigod.

As Kainu commented on the fearless warrior, he lacked combat experience.

The players have only been in the Fantasy Realm for a very short time, less than half a year.

Compared to the native inhabitants of this world, the demigods who have always existed, they are severely lacking in combat experience.

Unexpectedly...

Bai Lu actually showed up.

The white deer's support came after the magic was cast first.

Of course, Bai Lu also saw Fang Ze's choice.

If Izparut-sensei were here, she would probably admire him.

This is what Bai Lu thought to herself.

Bang!

Another moment.

Another crimson figure arrived at the battlefield.

"Sister Lu, we found it."

Bai Lu asked, "The origin of the Order?"

"Um."

After answering, the brave and fearless one looked at Fang Ze beside him and asked, "Sister Lu, who is he?"

The white deer replied, "A brave warrior, who just stood against a demigod with his demigod body."

Upon hearing this, the brave and fearless man couldn't help but show an expression of approval in his eyes.

He looked Fang Ze in the eye and patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad."

Fang Ze was flattered.

The two strongest human beings appeared before him and even praised him.

The brave man pondered for a moment.

Feeling that simply praising wasn't enough, he took out a longsword and a shield from his backpack.

This was loot from a previous dungeon, but since it wasn't a weapon I was using, I just tossed it into my inventory.

The brave and fearless don't have any obsessive-compulsive disorder about categorization, and they don't organize their backpacks much.

The items in the backpack were basically just piled up haphazardly.

Anyway, the backpack has enough space and can hold a lot of things.

"I see you're using a sword and shield, so I'll give you this longsword and shield."

After thinking for a moment, Brave Warrior took out a few more skill books from his backpack. After all, he was two god-level higher, so even if Fang Ze was hiding something, Brave Warrior would be able to see it all.

"These skills should also suit you."

The fearless warrior patted Fang Ze on the shoulder and said, "Keep trying."

"Sister Lu, we should go."

Bai Lu nodded slightly, and the two disappeared again a moment later.

Flying side by side in mid-air, Bai Lu said, "You do have the air of a senior."

The brave are fearless: "Seeing him suddenly reminded me of when our leader was leading us."

Now, I've become someone who can guide others on their path.

In truth, the brave man's intention in giving these things to Fang Ze was also pure: admiration for someone with commendable courage, and...

He probably just wanted to show off.

The two flew for only a dozen seconds before arriving at a huge gate.

This portal, reaching to the heavens and the earth, stands horizontally in the world.

At the door, Xiu Mi, Leng Qingying, Zu Ya, and Cang Qiong were already waiting.

Cang Qiong said, "Izparut has located the source of the cult's calamity. The location is indeed tricky, situated inside a forbidden area of ​​a lower realm."

"The restricted area has locked down levels and divine power."

"Only those below level 1000 can enter."

"If the source can be eradicated, the endless stream of cultists in the illusionary realm will no longer appear."

Shumi leaned against the portal and sighed, "Level-locked dungeons really never go out of style, meow."

The formation of the forbidden zone is related to the Illusionary Realm, and the formation of the Illusionary Realm remains an unsolved mystery.

It may be related to returning to zero, or it may be completely unrelated.

However, there is more than one set of rules that arise from the illusory world.

Izparut's Codex of the Dao was stolen out of thin air and used as a reward in the Illusionary Realm.

Various forbidden zones and dungeons have emerged in different dimensions of the world, and these have strict level restrictions. In fact, these level restrictions violate the rule that the strong are respected.

If the weak can go, why can't the strong go?

But that's how the rules are; once you reach a higher level, you can't enter certain dungeons.

However, if we look closely, these various rules and restrictions have a familiar explanation in the fantasy world: divine authority.

Theocracy is the power to distort reality.

The boundary wall sealed off the upper realm.

Yun Qing, along with the members of the Godslayer Guild, waited at the door. All of Yun Qing's arrangements prioritized Godslayer. No matter what meetings or schedules were arranged beforehand, they could be changed temporarily due to the arrangements of the Godslayer Guild.

The gate between heaven and earth before us is the work of the heavens.

The towering gate was built with the support of the Godslayer Guild throughout the upper realm and the Jiesheng race.

This door is now the only entrance and exit to the upper realm.

Other abilities, skills, and even divine authority to create space or traverse dimensions are rendered ineffective.

After the meeting at the Dome of the Semendo concluded.

Obades will personally reinforce the Gate of Heaven and Earth, Mani will set up a high-dimensional reverse non-material shield, and Izparut will personally lay down magical seals for the upper realm, completely perfecting the boundary. At that time, even a true god would not be able to directly open a passage into the upper realm, and even a true god would not be able to easily break through the upper realm.

The only way is through this door.

This door is a leak, but it is also because of its existence that the rest of the upper realm is so secure.

Leng Qingying: "But, are we the only ones on this mission?"

Actually, what Leng Qingying really wanted to ask was... Luo Heng.

Or perhaps... another Lu Cang.

Even the gods said this was the answer they shouldn't know right now, but... people are curious, and Leng Qingying wasn't asking about Luo Heng's whereabouts, she was just asking about other people.

"The others have other things to do."

Cang Qiong's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

The members of the Godslayer Guild didn't really have any better options. Lu Cang wouldn't explain, and they couldn't exactly rush up to Cang Qiong and question him about whether it was true or not.

At least, it's true that he saved the entire guild.

It's true that he killed Lorna.

With that, Lu Cang pushed open the enormous gate between heaven and earth.

Beyond the gate of heaven and earth lies a desolate and lonely plain, an endless desert and yellow sand.

This is a buffer zone, where a grand ceremony tightly connects the upper realm with this vast plane, and the only passage is this Gate of Heaven and Earth.

Even if the enemy has thousands of troops, they can only attack from here, so that there won't be chaos inside and enemies on both sides.

This is a strategy that has been summarized after three lifetimes of reincarnation and three lifetimes of resetting to zero order.

This plane has a fitting name.

It is called the "Dimension of Divine Burial".

This is a natural battlefield, where countless battles of the gods have taken place, and where the end of two glorious eras has even occurred.

Once you reach the plane of divine burial, there will be no more constraints from the boundary.

You can now carve out space here and travel to other dimensions.

Whoosh!

With a single sweep of his hand, Cang Qiong separated light and darkness, creating a passage of light and shadow.

The group strolled through the passage and arrived at a valley.

The valley was dark, with faint black and red lightning flashing down; it didn't look like a good place.

The illusory vortex before them also evoked a name in everyone's minds.

[Forbidden Zone: Initial Zero Point]
