this infinite world

—For the rest of the Arctic team, the ten days they spent in the God Space were no different from any other ten days, nothing more.

However, for Chu Hao, these ten days were incredibly fulfilling; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he underwent a complete transformation and was reborn.

During these ten days, Chu Hao not only accompanied Yang Yun to the main god space of the Celestial Team and had a heart-to-heart talk with his elder brother Ling Xin, but also learned the mastermind behind the C and X organizations that he had been fighting against. It turned out that the other party's true identity was actually "Heaven's Will," the mental power controller within his elder brother's Celestial Team, who had been observing Ling Xin for an unknown period of time without his brother being aware of it…

...Of course, that's all in the past. The problem is that what happened after that was even more tumultuous than meeting Ling Xin.

In the Terminator universe, Chu Hao truly experienced what it meant to have the power of "creation".

Within twenty-four minutes, he watched with almost godlike eyes as Yang Yun methodically reshaped the entire Earth's environment. He restored the earth's veins, repaired the environment, reshaped the crust, dissipated the dust storms caused by the nuclear bomb, and revitalized the polluted environment… Ultimately, he watched as Yang Yun restored the entire Earth to its state before the nuclear crisis triggered by Skynet, even making it ten or a hundred times better than before.

If the "Miracle Twenty-Four Hours" created by the Central Continent Team was humanity's "Judgment Day" against Skynet, liberating all of humanity from Skynet's grasp and averting the crisis of human extinction; then the "Miracle Twenty-Four Minutes" triggered by Yang Yun now has saved all life on this planet, including humans... and of course, the planet itself.

...Just as Yang Yun said, "creation" is more difficult than "destruction." And the difficulty of saving a planet is naturally not on the same level as the difficulty of saving humanity.

However, for Chu Hao, what he had come to understand was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

What was that saying again? Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbow, ocean, beach, forest, pebbles, sand, earth... If Zheng Zha's power is a pure muscle, a manifestation of "knowing how to do it but being unable to do it"; then Yang Yun's operation is a mystery that everyone can understand, yet is difficult to explain, as if the great way is simple.

Chu Hao was no exception. Even though he hadn't yet unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock, he was still able to glean some unique insights from it. A few days later, when he discussed this with Nian Xikong, this undisputed "highly educated talent" of the Arctic team was filled with regret and frustration—

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After hearing Chu Hao's description, Nian Xikong sat up abruptly from beside the barbecue grill, ignoring the sizzling chicken legs, squid, bear paws, and lamb skewers that were emitting an enticing aroma. She paced back and forth in agitation, exclaiming, "This is a tremendous opportunity! A tremendous opportunity! The kind you might regret for the rest of your life if you miss it!"

Is it really that exaggerated?
This was Chu Hao's first thought, but he dared not ask or say it aloud, because Nian Xikong's actions had already explained everything.

What could possibly make a foodie put down their delicious meal and become so agitated? Chu Hao guessed that if he actually asked, his situation would be no different from Zhang Heng's, who constantly courted death in front of Nian Xikong… But even so, Chu Hao pretended not to know and asked, “What great opportunity?” “…You’re not a cultivator, so I can’t explain it to you.”

After pacing around in frustration for a few moments, Nian Xikong finally plopped down on the grass. As if trying to channel her grief into appetite, she angrily picked up a delicious-looking steak and began to devour it without any ladylike manners. As she ate, she said, "I told you before, didn't I? In the Terminator world, I can only be unable to move my body, but my consciousness remains clear."

Chu Hao nodded. Nian Xikong had told the members of the Northern Ice Continent team about this. At the time, her mind was contemplating the stars of Jidu in the darkness, trying to advance further in her near-death experience. Unexpectedly, under the influence of Zheng Zha from the outside world, the darkness suddenly exploded, turning into a chaotic paste. Then, the chaotic paste transformed into two distinct energies, causing her to completely lose consciousness... Of course, according to Nian Xikong, all of this would be of immense benefit to her future condensation of her primordial spirit, but that's another story.

However, the problem now is that last time Nian Xikong seized the great opportunity of Zheng Zha using "Primordial - Creation of Heaven and Earth"; but this time she missed the moment when Yang Yun reshaped the Terminator world Earth, and the latter was obviously more within reach than the former... How could Nian Xikong not beat her chest in frustration?
"Uh, but you seemed to be eating a lot in your room back then, and I even specifically asked you if you were going back to the Terminator world..."

Chu Hao's words weren't unfounded. Before returning to the Terminator world with Yang Yun, he specifically asked Zhang Heng and Nian Xikong, who knew Yang Yun's identity and were also the strongest, if they wanted to travel together. One was busy researching his newly acquired Golden Armor and dealing with his relationship with the recently resurrected Lu Zixue; the other was using a nourishing diet to rapidly accumulate energy—of course, the public explanation was that he was preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage…

"You and I……"

Upon hearing Chu Hao's reasoned and well-founded statement, Nian Xikong's expression froze. She recalled that it seemed that this was indeed the case back then... So it turned out that she had actually rejected Chu Hao herself and missed such a great opportunity.

However, women always have some small "privileges".

Even knowing that it was all her fault, Nian Xikong still couldn't let it go. The girl opened her mouth wide, as if to vent her anger, and stuffed all the food from the barbecue grill into her mouth. At the same time, she glared at Chu Hao, and mumbled through her bulging mouth, "It's my business if I refuse. Can't you invite me again and explain the whole thing clearly?"

"Even if I'm 99% wrong, don't you have a 1% problem too?"

"……you win."

The captain and strategist of the Arctic team was speechless in the face of this flawless logic. (End of Chapter)
