"I will continue my seclusion, hoping to emerge as a late-stage Quasi-Saint and then take a clone with a wisp of my soul to explore the Main God Space."

Inside the same mountain, Yi Shuihan examined the clone he had just created and nodded in satisfaction.

This clone was created by Yi Shuihan using the Three Lights Divine Water and the Breath Soil as raw materials. It possesses an innate Dao body and powerful physical strength. Even without cultivation, it is invincible below the Silver level, making it perfect for testing the strength of the Main God Space.

The God Realm is a large and powerful place, so it probably won't pay much attention to a creature that doesn't even have silver. As long as Yi Shuihan is a little careful, he should be able to hide his identity. If it were Yi Shuihan's real body, a quasi-saint level immortal would probably be discovered immediately.

"Holy Spirit, initiate teleportation."

"Ding, the teleportation channel has been opened. Please enter."

Nodding to his clone, the clone stepped into the teleportation channel, which then closed. At first, Yi Shuihan could barely sense the clone's situation, but it became increasingly blurry until he could only vaguely perceive the clone's physical condition. Contacting or even sending commands was not an easy task for Yi Shuihan, so he had to give up on controlling it remotely and let the clone develop freely, waiting for it to contact him.

In a distant, unknown space-time,

Yi Shuihan opened his eyes and quickly looked around. He found himself in a special barrier that he couldn't break. Of course, he was in his current state. As an avatar, he wasn't as strong as his original self, but his vision was still there. To break this barrier, one would need at least the power of a Golden Immortal. Even if he were a thousand times stronger now, he still couldn't do anything to the barrier.

"There are 13 people, plus me, making 14. Four of them are not ordinary people; they should be what we call seniors. So the rest are what we call newcomers."

As a seasoned reader of many infinite flow novels, Yi Shuihan could still judge the current situation. He had arrived before the mission began, and the next step should be for everyone to wake up one by one according to their strength, so that the old bird could teach the new bird a lesson once again.

To keep a low profile, Yi Shuihan simply lay down and decided to "wake up" later.

About half an hour later, someone finally woke up. He should be the strongest among this group of reincarnators besides the imposter Yi Shuihan.

This was a handsome young man with blond hair, dressed in medieval knight armor, with a knight's sword at his waist—a quintessential knight.

The blond youth looked around and, upon seeing the extra newcomers, a serious look flashed in his eyes. A group of 14 was already considered a difficult level.

As a veteran who has gone through seven reincarnations and is now the captain of the Knights Squad, Polik knows a lot. He also has some knowledge about the number of reincarnators in each world. Generally speaking, apart from team battles, the number of people in a single world's squad for reincarnation is between 1 and 20.

The difficulty of a world can be judged by the number of people. Five people is a threshold: five people or less is easy, six to ten people is normal, eleven to fifteen people is hard, and sixteen or more people is hell.

Chapter 1072, One After Another Awakening

The world difficulty mentioned here is not the same as the mission difficulty. Moreover, the missions are different for newcomers and veterans. If they were exactly the same, it would obviously not be fair to newcomers. The God Space goes to great lengths to select so many reincarnators, not to send them to their deaths.

The world difficulty represents the level of threat to veterans in the current world. Easy difficulty means that veterans are top-tier powerhouses in the current world. As long as they don't do anything reckless, they generally have a high chance of completing the mission. However, the God's Space will definitely not let veterans have it so easy. If they only complete the main mission and do not explore other missions, their gains will not be much.

Normal difficulty is the most common difficulty. In the current world, veterans are considered top-tier powerhouses. There are powerful beings in the world who can wipe them out, but even if they unite, they are not invincible against the enemy, though they will suffer heavy casualties. Generally speaking, in this world, completing the main quest depends on the performance of the reincarnators. If they perform well, it is easy to complete; if they perform poorly, total annihilation is not impossible.

Difficulty level is quite rare. Even seasoned veterans are only considered average in the current world. There are too many powerful beings in the world who can wipe them out. A slight mistake can lead to total annihilation. Missions are usually quite difficult, and it is very difficult to complete them without losing any members. Even elite teams of reincarnators would have a headache facing this level of difficulty.

The final Hell difficulty level is even more extreme; entering it is a near-death experience. Those who can survive this level of difficulty have made a name for themselves in the God Realm.

Polik encountered a nightmare-level opponent in the third world. At that time, he was just an ordinary member of the Earth Squad. The captain was a powerful figure who had lived through 11 worlds and whose strength reached the Silver level. In the end, due to bad luck, he encountered a powerful opponent, and after the world ended, he was the only one left alive. He survived because of luck.

Now, after experiencing eight reincarnations, Polik's strength is only at the Bronze 8-star level, far from Silver. He is currently facing a difficult level, which does not lead to despair, but rather a heavy heart. If two more people were added, he might be completely devastated. He does not want to experience the terror of nightmares again.

Despite the difficulty of the challenge, Polik still believed he had a chance to survive, so he was just a little nervous.

Three minutes after Polik awoke, a man in a tuxedo with an extremely pale face also awoke. Upon waking, his body transformed into a swarm of bats, which then reformed into a body nearby.

“Earl Wanbao, don’t waste your blood energy. It’s always like this. I’m annoyed even if you’re not.”

Polik frowned and said that the person he referred to as Wanbao was naturally the man in the tuxedo. He was a vampire, second only to Polik in strength, at the Bronze 7-star level. He was the second-in-command of the Knight Squad. This person did not acquire the vampire bloodline in the Reincarnation Space, but was already a vampire when he was chosen, and was even an earl from their world.

With the strength of a Bronze 6-star, according to the vampire titles in their world, he should be considered a duke. However, Polik initially called him Earl Wanbao, and he never changed it afterward.

"You're the boss, so you make the decisions."

Earl Wanbao chuckled and then said that he had actually said this more than once, and he would definitely do the same thing next time.

Polick understood Count Wanbao's personality, so he said nothing more and quietly looked at the person still lying on the ground, making some assessments.

Five minutes later, the remaining two members of the knight squad awoke almost simultaneously. They were twin sisters, only Bronze 3-star in strength, and were newcomers to the squad, having only experienced three reincarnation worlds.

"There are 14 people! My God, this is a difficult world, how could this be? We're doomed."

"Sister, I'm so scared, sister, please protect me!"

"Don't be afraid, little sister. I will definitely protect you. No one can hurt you, no one can."

The two sisters embraced each other. The one with slightly longer hair was the older sister, Lia, while the younger sister, Rico, had shorter hair and was more developed than her sister. Their pointed ears revealed their identities as two elves.

Polik looked at the two sisters speechlessly. At first, he also thought that the older sister was a brave and valiant female warrior, while the younger sister was soft and gentle. However, after two reincarnations, he finally understood that the younger sister, who was seeking protection, was actually the stronger of the two sisters. When they really fought, she was even more ferocious than him, the knight. On the contrary, the older sister was just a burden.

"Captain Polik, what are we going to do with these new recruits? This is too difficult, we don't have the ability to protect them."

Lia's expression wasn't very good. She knew what the difficulty of 14 people meant; if things went badly, she wouldn't be able to return to this cycle of reincarnation.

"Don't get distracted by protecting them this time. Whether they can survive this world depends on themselves. As long as they don't get in our way, ignore them and provide them with the most basic equipment: a gun and a gold bar each."

As a captain, especially the captain of the Knights Squad, Polik's character is already considered very good in the God Space. If it were another squad, they probably wouldn't help the newcomers in this situation, but would instead exploit them and use them as bait.

If the world difficulty this time were normal, Polik might have been interested in discovering and training a few potential team members among the newcomers. After all, in the Reincarnation Space, the standard team size is usually 7 people, and their team is not yet complete.

Having set the tone, they fell silent again. A few minutes later, the first of the newcomers finally woke up.

This was a resolute man with a scar on his face, dressed in mercenary clothing, exuding a murderous aura. After regaining consciousness, he first looked warily at Polik and the others, then silently got up and stood aside without saying a word.

"A promising newcomer."

Polick secretly gave this person a rating.

The second person to regain consciousness was a tall young woman wearing martial arts attire. After waking up, she made the same choice as the mercenary man and also received Polick's praise.

Yi Shuihan was the third to wake up. This was a time he deliberately chose to wake up. He wanted to keep a low profile, but being too low-key would make him look down on, which was not his intention. The third newcomer to wake up was just right.

Chapter 1073, Mission Unfolds, New Player Benefits

With acting skills that even Oscar-winning actors couldn't describe, Yi Shuihan was successfully portrayed as a slightly stronger newcomer among ordinary people.

"You don't mind me standing here, do you?"

Yi Shuihan asked the tall young woman who had woken up before him.

Seeing Yi Shuihan's friendly smile, the young woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

And so Yi Shuihan stood beside the young woman as if it were the most natural thing in the world, enjoying the fragrance emanating from her. He was in a pretty good mood.

The remaining seven newcomers woke up around the same time, within seconds. Most of them had a blank look in their eyes, completely unaware of their situation.

"Where is this? Who are you people? I was just at the company, how did I suddenly appear here?"

A young man wearing glasses, who looked like a white-collar worker, loudly asked Polick and his group.

"Are you guys cosplaying? Knights, vampires, and elves, it's really realistic."

The voice was still a bit childish; it belonged to a rather cute blonde girl, who looked to be around 10 years old.

"Honey, I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid, wife, I will protect you. Listen, I am from the city law enforcement team. You have now violated the laws of the empire by illegally kidnapping us. I advise you to release us obediently and come with me to turn yourselves in. I will plead with my superiors to get you lenient treatment."

There were three other people, all dressed as college students—two women and one man—who were gathered together in silence.

The college students were alright, but the others couldn't see the situation at all, especially that couple, which even Yi Shuihan found somewhat amusing—a city law enforcement team, indeed.

"If they had followed Aqing's invitation method, they should have known where this was. They wouldn't have reacted like this. So, it seems that the invitations from the Main God Space might also be divided into different categories."

Yi Shuihan thought to himself, but watched coldly. He didn't care about these people's thoughts. At most, he might help the blonde girl. After all, she was old, and he didn't know if she had been tricked into coming into the Main God Space. With her level of understanding, she probably wouldn't understand the information of the Main God Space.

"Think about it carefully, the information should already be in your minds."

Leah stepped forward and spoke softly. A wave of spiritual energy silently soothed the hearts of these people, making them follow her instructions.

After a moment, the scene fell silent.

"It seems you know what happened. The fact that you came here means you accepted the invitation willingly; otherwise, the Main God Space wouldn't have let you in, unless it was something like that..."

"That kind of... special circumstances?"

Seeing that Liya had stopped listening at the crucial moment, Yi Shuihan seemed a little depressed.

"How could this happen? We were just watching a movie when a pop-up appeared. We thought it was a prank and accidentally clicked it, and then..."

The wife's voice was trembling with sobs, while the husband, a member of the law enforcement team, was pale and speechless.

"Alright, the mission is about to begin. From now on, you're on your own. These things are yours for the taking."

With a wave of his hand, 10 pistols and 10 gold bars appeared on the ground.

"One pistol and one gold bar per person. Don't take more than that."

The newcomers didn't continue their idiotic behavior. They quietly took their share, and the pistols they held gave these ordinary people a greater sense of security. Although there was still fear in their eyes, there was also excitement and agitation mixed in. After all, after learning about the existence of the God's Space, they also knew that they had the opportunity to become superior beings. As long as they could survive in the God's Space, becoming an immortal or a god was not a dream.

About 10 minutes later, with the sound of breaking glass, the barrier surrounding them shattered.

A message appeared in Yi Shuihan's mind.

"Main Quest: Join the human army and kill 10 ordinary orc soldiers (0/10) and 1 orc squad leader (0/1). Completing the quest will earn you 1000 survival points; failure to complete the quest will result in your execution."

Side quest: Not triggered yet, will be activated under certain conditions.

"The current world is the first mission, numbered xzq1328123. You can choose to make the following choices:"

a. Improves overall physical fitness by 100%, effective in this reincarnation world.

b. The reward will be doubled upon completion of the task; this task is valid.

c. No changes made

"

There is a countdown timer for the selection; if no selection is made within 10 seconds, a selection will be made immediately.

Yi Shuihan immediately chose option B, which doubled the mission reward. For him, even if his physical attributes were doubled now, it wouldn't increase his combat power much. He still couldn't beat a Silver-level expert, and he could easily crush those below Silver. There was no need to improve his physical attributes. Moreover, he was very suspicious that if the Main God Space discovered that his physical attributes were comparable to a Bronze 9-star, they might find out something.

Yi Shuihan is just an exception. If it were a real newcomer, they should choose option A at this time, since the benefits they receive are real. It would be too much of a waste to die if they couldn't get through the first world.

As for option C, Yi Shuihan believed that anyone with a slightly normal IQ would not choose it. Only lunatics would choose C, gambling on whether there was some hidden reward, and then decisively get no benefit at all.

"Sure enough, most of the newcomers chose B, and only one person chose A. It was the wife in the couple. Her husband said he wanted to protect her, so he told her to choose A."

Yi Shuihan could easily see through these people's physical qualities, so he could naturally know what they had chosen.

"Huh? There's a problem. This blonde girl's physical fitness seems to have improved by more than 100%, it should be 200%. Originally, her physical fitness was the lowest among those present, but now it has become stronger than most of the newcomers, ranking 4th among them."

Upon noticing this small detail, Yi Shuihan took notice of the blonde girl and decided to spend more time with her later. He guessed that this girl must be a special existence in the Main God Space.

Chapter 1074, Alliance

"They actually hunted down 20 level 9 experts and 5 Saint-level experts! My god! In this world, level 9 experts are rated as Bronze 6 stars, and Saint-level experts are at least 7 stars. How are we supposed to kill them?"

Leah exclaimed in surprise, feeling completely overwhelmed after learning about her main quest.

“5名圣域和10名9级强者我和万宝伯爵会想办法解决的，你们找机会杀掉10个9级强者就是了。”

Polick thought for a moment and then spoke. The difficulty of this mission was not beyond his expectations. In fact, he was even slightly relieved. Although Saint-level experts were difficult to kill, it was not impossible for him with his strength. He and Wanbao were both Saint-level experts, and it would not be a problem for them to hunt down those weaker Saint-level experts one-on-one.

Moreover, as reincarnators from the God Realm, they are generally stronger than the natives of the reincarnation world. Polik was confident that he could fight even a 9-star Saint Realm in this world, while Earl Wanbao, with his powerful vampire vitality, could at least escape from a 9-star Saint Realm.

In the God Realm, it's rare to encounter beings weaker than oneself during a mission; fighting beings of higher levels has become the norm. It would be strange if a mission were issued that required a reincarnator to kill creatures weaker than themselves.

"Ten level 9 experts may be difficult for you, but it's not impossible. I believe you can do it. If you can't, I won't help you. I will only complete the mission after you die."

Polik’s words sounded somewhat cold and ruthless, but Leah didn’t think so. Being in the God’s Space, she knew that given the current situation, Polik’s arrangement was already very considerate of the sisters.

Killing someone across three star levels is relatively normal for a Bronze Level 3 fighter. Although the sisters are only rated Bronze Level 3, they can completely defeat Bronze Level 4 fighters in a head-on battle, and can also contend with Level 5 fighters. They cannot defeat Level 9 Level 6 fighters in a head-on battle, but they can kill them by surprise with the help of some items from the God Space.

Soon after, all the veterans left, leaving behind only newcomers, including Yi Shuihan.

"Blood Edge, an A-level mercenary and a high-level gene warrior, is rated as a Black Iron 7-star according to the evaluation of the Main God Space."

The scarred youth who was the first to wake up came to Yi Shuihan and spoke to Yi Shuihan and the young woman in martial arts uniform.

"Gene Warrior? Judging from the word 'gene,' he must be an A-level mercenary from some interstellar civilization. That sounds pretty impressive. His strength is at the Black Iron 7-star level, which is quite powerful among ordinary people. He's comparable to a level 4 powerhouse in this world. Completing the novice mission shouldn't be difficult for him."

Such a thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind, but he didn't completely believe what Xue Feng said. Did he really not know this name? Under the current circumstances, who would be foolish enough to tell others all their information?

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Bloodfang currently harbors no hostility towards them.

"Wu Qingxuan, martial arts master, Black Iron 6-star."

"Taiyi, Foundation Establishment stage, Black Iron 6-star."

Following Xue Feng's example, they reported some information, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

"What I mean is that the three of us should work together to complete the main quest, then expand on the side quests, share the information we acquire, and help each other before this world ends."

Xue Feng then revealed his purpose for coming.

"What about them?"

The "they" that Wu Qingxuan was referring to were naturally the other newcomers.
