Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 1 Prologue
"I haven't solved many worthwhile problems today..." Mu Xiang muttered helplessly, tucking his pen behind his ear. He then placed his hand on the mouse and flipped through the novel a little further.

Mu Xiang, male, a second-year high school student, majoring in humanities.

Known as the "King of Test Papers," he was currently working on math problems while simultaneously reading a novel. The "Must-Do Problems" book for humanities math wasn't particularly difficult overall; unless it was a full page of complex questions, Mu Xiang could typically finish one page in ten minutes—and that wasn't even the fastest among his acquaintances. Therefore, while working on problems, he had plenty of time to multitask, such as chatting with classmates after class, or…reading a novel.

What's in front of me is a fan fiction of "Infinite Terror," a work that claims to be quite subversive.

After reading Mu Xiang's work all afternoon, I felt that the novel's so-called subversion was nothing special, and it seemed that there were works with this perspective a long time ago; but it was quite remarkable that he could persist in writing so much, and the language was not too simplistic.

Moreover, the author put a lot of thought into the layout. For example, in the first chapter, the classic speech bubble in front of Zheng Zha was perfectly reproduced.

Do you want to understand the meaning of life?
Do you want to truly...live?
YES NO
Thinking of this, Mu Xiang couldn't help but go back to the first chapter and read it again. These days, there aren't many authors with the patience to type by hand like this.

Although the term "subversion" might seem a bit sensational, the quality is still quite good compared to other fanfiction in recent years, and it's been generating some discussion on forums lately. Speaking of forums, Mu Xiang casually switched the webpage to the relevant discussion section, only to find a new post had appeared in front of him.

"Did this guy post in the wrong section?" Mu Xiang was slightly taken aback when he saw the exchange discussion thread in the fanfiction section, but he still clicked on it.

When this forum was first created, Mu Xiang was probably still wearing diapers, and now the number of active users isn't that high. Therefore, Mu Xiang would click to read every new post.

"If you were to enter the Main God Space, what ability would you want to enhance?"

This kind of post should be considered an old, low-quality post, but Mu Xiang, who had spent the afternoon doing practice problems, was still interested in posting something.

"Personally, I still prefer to improve my physical attributes so I won't be too fragile in the early game. I won't talk about the usual stuff like internal energy, vampires, or werewolves. If I had Kryptonian bloodline to enhance my abilities, I would be willing to give it a try (sticks out tongue). I would even accept starting at B-grade. I'd be satisfied if I could save up enough to make my physical attributes not too much worse than ZZ's in the early game (sneaky). Later on, with the fourth-tier gene lock, the strength I develop would definitely be quite high (funny)." Mu Xiang often thought about this kind of question when reading novels, so he quickly replied on the second floor.

"The quality of the Kryptonians is too high. Even the Kryptonian grunts in the movies are at least Tier 3. You can't get a Kryptonian bloodline without an A-rank." Someone replied to him immediately.

Mu Xiang thought for a moment and replied, "You also mentioned Tier 3 combat power, so it's definitely not about being a pure Kryptonian in the early stages (sly). Weakening them in the early stages and then strengthening them to a higher level later, combined with the gene lock, it's not unreasonable to expect them to reach the level of Hen Chao, right?"

"So using Kryptonian bloodline in the early stages isn't appropriate." Another instant reply.

Just as Mu Xiang was struggling with how to use the weakened version of Kryptonian Bloodline in the early stages, the original poster replied to him.

"How about using Superman energy to enhance him initially, gradually raising him to A-rank, and then switching to Kryptonian bloodline?"

Superman energy infusion? Mu Xiang pondered for a moment. Wasn't that the source of Kong Kenan's (the Chinese Superman) abilities? In the main god space, it seemed passable in the early stages, not too overpowered.

Looking up, there was another reply: "Superhuman energy infusion enhances physical fitness and provides solar energy, but does not come with any superpowers. All abilities need to be developed by oneself or exchanged separately, and the amount of ability to be developed is limited when the exchange level is low."

Mu Xiang was so angry that the pen on his ear fell off. Wasn't this typical of the God of War's unscrupulous business practices? He even forgot to pick up the pen and immediately replied, "Then why not exchange for other bloodlines or other enhancements? This is far from being as good as the people of our motherland!" (angry)

"This is a pretty good exchange rate for the early stages. It meets your requirements and has good potential for future development. Be content."

Mu Xiang then picked up his pen and stared at the screen. [This sounds like he's really asking me to go in...]

There's not much to argue about. After all, the cost-effectiveness is already quite good in the early game. Just look at Zheng Zha's mutated vampire bloodline – it only brings physical attributes and vampire energy; the vampire skills are obtained through exchange. The Kryptonian bloodline has a much higher starting point. If it were possible to exchange for it like this early on, the God Realm would have been overrun by Kryptonians long ago.

[And it seems that Kryptonian bloodline, or Superman bloodline, is a hidden reward in the Infinite World?]

Just as Mu Xiang was about to close the page, he suddenly glanced at the IDs of the original poster and the commenters. In that instant, as he closed the page, Mu Xiang was taken aback: "Emperor Ming?"

Aren't these all my IDs?

He hurriedly made a reopening gesture, but the browser didn't respond. So Mu Xiang checked his browsing history, but couldn't find the post either. He also found no trace of the discussion in message notifications or his personal posts.

Am I dreaming that I'm creating a thread for myself to gain experience points?

Mu Xiang was a little anxious; he had never felt this bad even when he couldn't solve problems during his holiday.

Mu Xiang took two deep breaths, drank some water, flipped the novel to the dialog box section, and stared blankly at the dialog box that appeared.

[Surely no one actually thinks they can get in... they're making such a big deal out of it.]

Although Mu Xiang can easily immerse himself in any novel or comic he reads, and he takes arguments about combat power and settings very seriously... when it comes to time travel, he is still not very convinced.

The ghost post page popped up again, even though Mu Xiang hadn't put his hand on the mouse. The sudden appearance of it startled him. Focusing on the post's content, his surprise and suspicion deepened.

That's the latest reply from the original poster with the ID "Minghuang":
"Memories of the original work can be retained... but memories of this novel will be deleted. The Kryptonite series you've gained, seventeen years of memories excluding this novel, and your own self that could be copied at any time—that's all you have after entering the God Realm. Best of luck."

【What's the meaning? 】

Mu Xiang's pupils contracted instantly. He grabbed the keyboard and mouse, about to click the reply button below this reply.

The next moment, the page disappeared, just as silently as it had appeared.

Mu Xiang clicked the "YES" button on the novel's handwritten code dialog box.

Do you want to understand the meaning of life?
Do you want to truly...live?
YES NO
The "YES" light, which shouldn't have reacted, dimmed slightly, as if that was its natural course of action.

Consciousness instantly ceased, and Mu Xiang vanished from his seat.
