this infinite world

--pain.

——Suffocating pain.

——The pain of being cut into pieces, the body turned into pieces, even the soul burned to ashes, and then completely wiped out.

what's going on?
Yang Yun subconsciously stopped the movement of his left hand, which he had raised for some reason to protect his vital parts, and turned to Zheng Zha, who was also standing there in a defensive posture with a confused look on his face. When their eyes met, they both blinked, full of confusion. And around them, there was an endless world of pure black... Whether it was the battlefield just now or the immortal they faced a moment ago, they were all gone.

"Where is this..."

"You've already died once."

Before Zheng Zha could speak, Chu Xuan's voice rang out in the dark space: "He died at the hands of an immortal."

die?
A term that is very far away from the Zhongzhou team, and it should never be used here, especially coming from Chu Xuan's mouth... Because if what Chu Xuan said is true, it means that Yang Yun and Zheng Zha had lost their lives the moment the other party attacked just now!

"What? Died once?"

Zheng Zha, who had no idea what was going on and was fully confident in his own abilities, certainly didn't believe Chu Xuan's words. He frowned and said, "Wait, wait... Chu Xuan, I'm not doubting your judgment, but if we died once, why can we still communicate with you normally?"

"And unlike Yang Yun, I actually died once in Resident Evil 2. At that time, I just closed my eyes and lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes, I saw you two resurrecting me... It wasn't like this now."

"...No, Zheng Zha, this is true."

Zheng Zha certainly didn't believe what he saw, but Yang Yun touched his chest, feeling the lingering pain, and accepted the reality of "death" first.

In terms of strength, Yang Yun and Zheng Zha are on equal terms. They broke through to the fourth stage intermediate in the same world, personalized the light of the soul, and made great strides towards the fourth stage advanced. However, in terms of their own vitality and the so-called "blood bar length", Yang Yun, who has the blessing of the "Jianmu" soul light and fairy power, is much stronger than Zheng Zha, who has always been on the extreme burst, hurting the enemy a thousand times and hurting himself eight hundred times.

Because of this powerful vitality, Yang Yun has a greater advantage in survival ability and is more able to feel the pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow on the edge of death... This is an extreme pain in which the body and soul are destroyed simultaneously, while Zheng Zha's death was a quick and painless process. He didn't even feel that moment before he died in the hands of the immortal.

"...You are really Chu Xuan and Yang Yun, right?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zha immediately looked at Yang Yun beside him with suspicion, and he subconsciously activated his spiritual light "Tianxing Longxiang".

But when the light covered Zheng Zha's whole body and the scenery in front of him remained unchanged, he had to admit this fact, but a new question immediately arose: "Wait, since I can use the light of the mind, then where is this place now?"

"A vision before death? A revolving lantern? Or is this the gap between life and death?"

"I used the Conferred God List to create a space for us to exchange information." Even though he was bombarded with questions, Chu Xuan remained calm: "If I use a more rigorous statement, it would be 'If I don't take action, then you have already died once.'"

"…Stop playing word games. Can you say something I can understand?"

After hearing Chu Xuan's ambiguous and powerful words, Zheng Zha actually believed 80% of them, because among the people he knew, Chu Xuan was the only one who would speak like that, and no one else could learn Chu Xuan's unique way of speaking: "How did we die? If we really died, how did you save us?"

"I cannot answer the first question because using the Conferred God List across a world will be subject to corresponding restrictions, and knowing the cause of your death requires a huge amount of cause and effect points, so there must be a big secret in this."

Although he was clearly saying that he didn't know, Chu Xuan's tone was quite calm, as if all this was natural and not worth mentioning at all: "As for the latter question... just now I consumed the causal points, thus rejecting the result of your 'death'."

"Change the cause and effect?" Unlike Zheng Zha who was still confused, Yang Yun seemed to have realized something.

"Reversing cause and effect, or putting the effect back into cause, is one of the abilities of the Conferred God List."

Chu Xuan's words came from the darkness: "People will die if they are killed. This is nonsense because it conforms to the logic of cause and effect and is a matter of course. But I did the opposite and used the Investiture of the Gods to intercept cause and effect. I "rejected" your death from the level of cause and effect, making it impossible for you to ever reach the truth of death."

"This way, you will be like the protagonist of an anime that never has an ending. At the moment of death, this rule I have prepared in advance will be triggered, and the 'story' will continue."

"...Sounds like the ability of a Requiem Stand."

Zheng Zha, who had watched the fifth part of JOJO, shuddered: "Will there be any side effects? I will never be able to reach the truth of death..."

"Yes, but the use of causal points can offset the causal points in the Investiture of the Gods. Before they are all used up, if the light of your soul is not extinguished, you will not face the final death. You are now like fighting a boss battle that can be reloaded repeatedly, and the Investiture of the Gods is your cheat. As long as you have this power, you can do it again and again without limit..."

Chu Xuan's voice remained calm, as if the death of the two was not a big deal in his eyes: "And now back to the question at the beginning, what you need to do is to find a way to defeat the BOSS in front of you before your 'life' is completely consumed."

"Capture the boss... Then the first thing to do is to find out why we died."

Yang Yun exhaled, his mood was surprisingly calm. He had died in the blink of an eye, and was facing an enemy so powerful that it made him despair. But for some reason, he did not have the slightest fear, but instead a firm will to fight ignited in his chest: "So Chu Xuan, what is our destiny? I guess you deliberately intercepted the Lord God once before, and the accumulated karma points should be more than enough, right?"

"Ah."

Chu Xuan glanced at the number in the upper right corner of the Conferred God List. There, the last two digits of the six-digit number changed a bit.

"Enough for you to be resurrected 3,572 times." (End of this chapter)
