Chapter 72: Chapter 72: World Background and Cultivation

On the rooftop of a skyscraper in downtown Z City, a group of seven men and women slowly regained consciousness.

The man who woke up first looked at the men and women around him and said, "This world is a bit different. Check your Reincarnation Watches first."

At his words, the few who had woken up first raised their Reincarnation Watches and looked at them.

Mission World: *Carnival Day 5: The Human Purge Plan*

In order to deal with the nation’s increasingly severe social conflicts, a special "Carnival Day" law was enacted.

On this day, a city will be selected by popular vote to hold the ultimate carnival.

From bloody judgments against criminals down to the legalization of prostitution across the entire city, the whole metropolis would be plunged into absolute peril. And this time, Carnival Day has been set in Z City.

’The Human Purge Plan...’

As the mission name was spoken, the expressions of the people present turned sour. This Reincarnation World... was no ordinary one.

"Why the long faces? Is there a problem with this Reincarnation World? Isn’t it just a normal story-driven world, something like a battle royale?" a muscular man asked.

Before he became a Reincarnator, he had been solely focused on martial arts, so he hadn’t seen many movies or anime. He’d only vaguely heard that such a film existed.

"You’re talking about the first three movies, but this is a long-running animated film series with at least six installments."

A Reincarnator threw up his hands in resignation. "When they first made *Carnival Day*, the creative team just wanted a bloody gimmick to make money. But that kind of hack-and-slash plot immediately blew up."

"Its huge commercial value led to a sequel being quickly released the following year. It was the R-18 rated *Carnival Day 2: Prostitution Legalized*. Driven by its erotic content, the box office numbers soared."

"But then the third movie, *Carnival Day 3: Chainsaw Massacre*, which continued to imitate the formula of the first two, saw a huge drop in box office revenue because the audience had grown tired of the gore."

"So, to keep the movie’s IP from dying, *Carnival Day 4: Speed Chase* added a background of superpowers to the originally thin world-building, causing the setting to suddenly shift from normal to fantastical."

"Thanks to the bloody special effects and superpower brawls, the fourth movie’s box office exploded. After tasting success, the creative team started to go completely off the rails."

"And this movie we’re in, *Carnival Day 5: The Human Purge Plan*, adds a cross-dimensional travel setting on top of the superpowers. Holy shit, the power levels inflated like crazy."

"The *Fast & Furious* franchise next door is a live-action series, so even by its 51st movie, they’re only just getting around to dragging Earth around with a car to escape the Trisolaran civilization."

"But since this is an animated film series, according to post-movie interviews with the creative team, they’re going to introduce the concept of a Multiverse in the later installments..."

As the team member finished his brief explanation, the big man’s jaw hung open in astonishment.

"So, you’re telling me this world we’ve entered... is a high-level martial world with a Multiverse?" The big man was so angry he blurted out:

"Fuck you, Main God! My last world was just *Resident Evil 5*, how the hell did you throw me into this one?"

"No need to be so angry," the leader said reassuringly.

"At least we’re only in the fifth movie. The weird stuff like gods and demons won’t show up yet. We’ll just be fighting some super-powered people."

"According to the mission, five Reincarnation Squads have entered this time. We’re the third squad, and the next two will be even stronger than us."

"Therefore, we need to borrow their strength!" a skinny, bespectacled man said, gently pushing up his non-prescription glasses.

"Alright, if you don’t have the brains for it, stop trying to cosplay Chu Xuan. It’s so cringe. When you actually enter the Reincarnation World of *Terror Infinity*, then you’ll know what real fear is," a teammate said, speechless.

"The biggest problem now is how we’re going to integrate into Z City. After all, based on the movie, Z City is currently under complete surveillance by people with superpowers."

"Let’s try to contact Fang Can first. The problem is, according to the movie’s plot, that guy seems to just stay in his villa until Carnival Day starts. We don’t really have a chance to run into him."

"It’s simple. We’ll just pretend to be super-powered individuals with hidden identities and approach Fang Can that way," the leader said with a smile. "After all, this world has all kinds of superpowers."

...

Inside the villa, Evil Qi surged within Fang Can’s body as he entered the state of Evil Tiger Devouring Body.

The doubled Evil Qi emanating from him made Liu Qingmeng knit her delicate brows. "This move is extremely damaging to your body. It should only be used as a last resort in a life-or-death battle. Why are you using it so casually?"

"It’s fine. My Cultivation Technique can endlessly replenish my life potential."

Fang Can smiled and shook his head, but his gaze focused on Liu Qingmeng’s face as he wondered to himself:

’Is it my imagination, or does Elder Liu look slightly younger than before? Is she glowing with vitality?’

Hearing Fang Can’s explanation, Liu Qingmeng remembered his title as the number one human cauldron—someone whose vital essence could be endlessly extracted and harvested.

At this thought, she subconsciously took two silent steps back.

According to the records in the *Yongle Encyclopedia*, this number one cauldron could not only be endlessly harvested but also possessed an extreme attraction to the opposite sex—the type whose body would go weak with just a hug.

The principle behind it was simple. The body was simply sending a signal to the brain: ’This is a great elixir right in front of you. For the sake of improving your strength, cast aside all etiquette and shame, and harvest him mercilessly. Drain him dry.’

’What a lewd and debauched body.’

Liu Qingmeng concluded, looking at the sculpted muscles on Fang Can’s body.

Composing herself, Liu Qingmeng nodded. "Although I don’t know where you found a Cultivation Technique that can grant your body the ability to think and cause your Heart Image to surge, your physique is ultimately still too frail."

"From what I know, that Xiang Xitao, number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, has supplemented his training with secret medicines since childhood. He already possesses a colossal frame, and every major tendon in his body is pushed to the limit of the Profound Gate Ninth Layer, like a living devil god."

"As for you, if you want to defeat him, you can no longer rely on pure strength. You can only rely on your stamina, immortality, and speed to wear him down to death."
