this infinite world

Far away, in a half-plane rift that no instrument can detect...

Here, dozens of Earth-like planets are closely arranged in a way that violates celestial mechanics. The atmospheres of the two nearest planets even blend with each other, like glass marbles placed casually on a chessboard by a child... and around this absurd cosmic bonsai, there are fleets of terrifying scale parked, as if this is a secret base of a certain space fleet.

The deeper you go into the core area of ​​this demiplane, the more horrifying the environment becomes. Not only is it filled with all kinds of radiation and cosmic rays, but even space begins to break up and reorganize, and the time scale seems to be in a state of chaos, and it actually looks like some kind of space-time turbulence...

But in this Jedi that is completely unsuitable for human survival, there is a huge fortress standing tall like a stabilizing force. This dark fortress shaped like a "Death Star" is like a quiet spot in the eye of a storm, and even the most violent storms will be diverted and bypassed gently when they touch the surface.

In the main laboratory at the deepest part of the fortress, a spherical culture chamber with a diameter of 100 meters was filled with light green nutrient solution, and a beautiful woman with a naked body and a cold face -

"The shelf oscillator has been activated."

Suddenly, the beautiful woman who seemed to be in deep sleep with her eyes closed moved, and her lips slightly opened, but what came out was a cold male voice that was completely different from her delicate face: "Zhang Xiaoxue, is there any new memetic effect erupting in the Death Comes plane?"

After saying this, the beautiful woman closed her mouth, but her eyes were completely open. Her lips moved slightly, and this time another female voice as clear as a spring came out, forming a strange duet with the cold male voice just now: "I just checked three days ago and found nothing unusual. Everything is going according to the original plan... Do I need to spend karma points to check again?"

"Check it out. I'm a little concerned." The cold male voice replied.

"clear."

Hearing this, the woman nodded, and then a tattered newspaper appeared in her hand. Strangely, although the interior of the culture chamber was filled with light green nutrient solution, the newspaper was not affected at all.

As a flash of light passed, several lines of text appeared on the newspaper. After reading it, the woman shook her head slightly and said, "No new memetic effects were found... Did something unexpected happen?"

The woman's question fell on deaf ears, not even causing a slight ripple in the silent incubator. She did not ask further questions, but just lowered her eyes and stared at the windless newspaper in her hand, quietly waiting for another voice to respond... until several minutes later, she opened her mouth and uttered the male voice again.

"Insufficient intelligence to make inferences... Further confirmation is needed."

The cold male voice said this, and it turned into a string of pearl-like bubbles in the liquid of the incubator: "Zhang Xiaoxue, check the whereabouts of the two people around Zheng Zha."

With Zheng Zha's current limit-breaking power, directly investigating his causal whereabouts through the Conferred God List would inevitably require an astronomical number of causal points. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary waste, a roundabout way was used to target Liu Yu and Lin Juntian, who were in the same reincarnation team as Zheng Zha but whose strength was at most the fourth level, and the causal points required would be much less.

Just like looking for a slow-flowing tributary next to a turbulent river, by monitoring these two targets with a higher "safety factor", the consumption of causal points can be greatly reduced. Although there will be a delay in information, the consumption is controllable... This is also what the woman has always done.

Because it was not the first time, the woman was familiar with the investigation. The slender white jade fingertips touched the edge of the newspaper. The seemingly random touch fell accurately on the string of cause and effect. The paper surface suddenly rippled like water waves, and circles of golden ripples appeared, and soon a picture was reflected. Under the sky of an unknown plane, under someone's gaze, a man over three meters tall, with dragon wings on his back and scales on his body, like a half dragon and half man, was lifting a piece of metal continent about the size of Australia and throwing it into outer space, exploding into the brightest fireworks...

"The Zhongzhou team is currently carrying out a mission in the Terminator world." Looking at the information revealed on the Conferred God List, the woman repeated it: "During this period, they have not been to the Final Destination plane, so everything that happened there has nothing to do with the Zhongzhou team and Zheng Zha..."

"Ah."

He expressed his reply with a meaningless syllable again, but this time the silence was much shorter than before. The male voice gave orders again: "Detect the current situation of the Death God plane. I need to confirm whether Chu Hao brought back something uncontrollable and dangerous from the main god space."

"But, Chu Xuan......!"

Hearing this order, Zhang Xiaoxue was shocked: "Are you sure you want to do this? Such a precise requirement will definitely consume a huge amount of cause and effect points. This body has not yet fully recovered..."

"It doesn't matter. I have already anchored my destiny through the Conferred God List. Before the final layout is completed, I will not truly face my true death."

Facing Zhang Xiaoxue's concerns, the replica Chu Xuan calmly replied: "The exchange of the main god space is all-encompassing and all-inclusive, and it is still increasing to this day. Even I, who have the Conferred God List, can hardly exhaust it. And since I can't find out the information about Chu Hao, who has a great cause and effect, I must reduce the possibility of accidents to the lowest level..."

"Follow orders, Zhang Xiaoxue."

"……Yes."

Faced with the insistence of the replica Chu Xuan, Zhang Xiaoxue finally chose to obey. As the causal points disappeared like flowing water, the text and images on the newspaper began to distort and reorganize. The ink moved like a living thing, and finally solidified into a dynamic picture like a holographic projection.

That is, a giant tree.

A huge tree that is big enough to block out the sun.

Its main trunk pierces the sky like a pillar, and its incredibly luxuriant canopy is enough to cover the sky when it unfolds, completely obscuring the plane of Death Comes... Even the detection of the List of Gods can't get past the lush shade of the trees and spy on any information within the plane!
In the scene projected by the Conferred God List, both the clone Chu Xuan and Zhang Xiaoxue were silent for a moment. It was not until dozens of seconds later that the clone Chu Xuan's interested voice resounded in this silent space -

"...Interesting." (End of this chapter)
