Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 260 Forgetting
When Li Shuaixi awoke, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the enormous sphere of light above. More than ten beams of light shot out from this sphere, enveloping him and the surrounding group.

Before Li Shuaixi could figure out what was going on, his instinctively shifting gaze froze in place due to extreme fear. A sudden, death-like pounding of his heart pounded within him. He was in the pillar of light, feeling the comfort of being immersed in warm water, yet he couldn't help but shiver.

Li Shuaixi felt as if he were being watched by a ferocious demon or beast, causing him to close his eyes in an attempt to escape. Only then did he feel the coldness and excruciating pain in his lower body.

Mu Xiang's gaze lingered on Li Shuaixi's face for only a moment before sweeping over the others.

Did Wang Xia still die... but the other two survived.

Besides the eleven members of the Central Continent Team who initially entered the horror movie, and Zhang Jie's wife, two more people appeared in the Main God Space: Li Shuaixi and Zhu Wen. Li Shuaixi's lower body had completely disappeared, and a piece of his back was also missing, making him look like a ham that had been sliced ​​diagonally. Zhu Wen's right side of her body was gone, leaving only a barely intact head and the left side of her body. Upon closer inspection, there were still lingering charred marks on the missing parts of their bodies.

Despite the two newlyweds' miserable appearance and their screams of agony, they survived.

The pillar of light around Mu Xiang was the first to disappear, lasting only a moment. The instant he landed, he answered the cold voice of the main god in his consciousness.

"Would you like to join the Celestial Reincarnation Squad?"

"I reject."

Those who landed after Mu Xiang naturally couldn't hear his internal reply; they all looked at the person still in the air. Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie were still bathed in the pillar of light, but unexpectedly, there was another person also floating in the pillar of light.

A dull green mask fell off his face, revealing Zhang Heng's face.

Mu Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He reached out and grabbed the mask, storing it in his bracelet.

Why is this guy wearing a mask? And it seems like he's used up a lot of energy...

The two severely injured newcomers landed before the rest of them. A while later, Zhang Heng and Zheng Zha also fell from the sky. To onlookers, Zhang Heng had likely exhausted too much of his life force using the telekinetic floating cannon; while Zheng Zha had endured a fierce battle with Zhang Jie, and although his self-healing ability was strong, the amount of vampire energy he had consumed was immeasurable.

In fact, as the exchange level increases, the quality and quantity of exchanges that already contain energy will greatly improve. For high-level exchangers like Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha, a casual fight is a negligible drain, but for others, it's a terrifying burden that could drain them countless times. Therefore, they will consume more reward points at the Main God's place to fully replenish their energy.

If Mu Xiang hadn't recovered to his peak condition immediately after merging with the guide, he probably would have stayed in the air a little longer.

[What severely depleted Zhang Heng's strength shouldn't be the telekinetic floating cannons... even if he were drained by the floating cannons, he wouldn't be as exhausted as Zheng Zha.]

Even I, who has always been in charge of the overall situation, can't explain why; it can only be...

What's missing from my memory...?

Almost everyone landed, except for Zhang Jie, who remained inside the pillar of light. What was even stranger was that while the others, no matter how serious their injuries, would wake up after receiving treatment, Zhang Jie remained unconscious.

Mu Xiang flashed to Zhang Jie's side, his brows furrowing slightly. This movement made Zhang Jie's wife turn pale and let out a muffled groan, but she did not back down and remained standing beside Zhang Jie.

Mu Xiang then realized that the aura emanating from him was too terrifying, and it was too much of an impact on her, who was just an ordinary person.

Zhan Lan sighed and gave her a full-body healing spell. Fortunately, she wasn't truly injured; the beam of light only lasted for a moment before disappearing. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry," Mu Xiang nodded apologetically. "I just entered this realm and haven't been able to control myself properly yet."

Zhang Jie's wife smiled and looked up at Zhang Jie in the air.

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses: "Everyone, go back and rest first. Zhan Lan, explain the rules of the Main God Space to the two newcomers. Zheng Zha, you stay here with me and wait until Zhang Jie is repaired."

Zheng Zha moved swiftly and appeared beside Mu Xiang: "Are your reward points still being consumed?"

Mu Xiang nodded: "That's right... Although I still have tens of thousands of reward points, I'm still a little worried."

"If your reward points run out, won't you be eliminated?" Zheng Zha rubbed his nose. "Also, if your reward points run out, can I seamlessly continue treating Zhang Jie?"

"The first problem shouldn't be an issue. The God's rule is that 'if the reward points are negative by the end of a horror movie, you're eliminated.' If they become negative in the God's space, there's probably still one more horror movie to make up for it," Mu Xiang said. "As for the second one, it's not really a problem. I'm just doing this in case."

Mu Xiang remembered that Chu Hao had spent three days and three nights repairing his torn divine essence, which only consumed a little over 30,000 reward points. Furthermore, if Zhang Jie's repair consumed too much energy, making it unmanageable for Mu Xiang, then his call for a full-scale repair would be ineffective. Ultimately, keeping Zheng Zha behind was simply Mu Xiang's usual over-cautious approach.

Moreover, Mu Xiang also had something to ask Zheng Zha...

Zheng Zha sighed: "Explain to me how Zhang Jie survived first."

“Zhang Jie exchanged for the Death God bloodline, and the principle of the Death God bloodline is spiritualization.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “Spiritual particles are set to be the main substance that constitutes the soul. Zhang Jie hoped to use this method to separate his soul from the guide. However, he did not expect that the guide’s personality is also borne by an artificial soul provided by the main god. Since it is also spiritualized, it cannot be separated either.”

"The artificial body that Zhan Lan exchanged can serve as a vessel for this kind of soul. The Death God bloodline provided by the Main God has some of the flaws from the original work, so it can move around in various environments without an artificial body... But after the Guide separated from Zhang Jie, the artificial body became a necessary vessel for Zhang Jie's incomplete soul. In this way, Zhang Jie could be identified as alive and then return to the Main God Space to receive treatment."

Zheng Zha scratched his head: "But why does it have to be the bloodline of the Grim Reaper?"

Mu Xiang sighed: "Have you forgotten something? All these abilities in the Main God Space are from different worldviews... In the worldview of 'Bleach,' the soul is composed of spirit particles, but that's not necessarily the case in other worldviews. Zhang Jie isn't from the 'Bleach' worldview, so how can he convert spirit particles without exchanging for the Bleach bloodline?"

"My Ripple Qi Gong and Limitless Sword Qi are the same principle. Have you ever seen a Kryptonian who can use these abilities to leverage their physical advantages?" Mu Xiang shrugged. "If it weren't for the main god allowing me to integrate abilities from different worldviews, even if I were Superman himself, I might not be able to cultivate these abilities, right? Although, as long as I could cultivate them, I would be stronger than anyone from the original source of these abilities..."

"Okay, I think I understand..." Zheng Zha couldn't help but scratch his head again, feeling an itch. "By the way, how did you know what Zhang Jie redeemed?"

Mu Xiang sighed: "That's what I wanted to ask you."

"Ask me? Huh?" Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself.

"I forgot," Mu Xiang said after a moment of silence.

I'm back! Updates will resume in February. I promised that a hiatus wouldn't mean abandoning the project, and I will definitely keep my word, because that's a promise unique to men of our Z-series! (Sound of excitement)
