Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 63 It can't be...

Mu Xiang fell asleep in the basement while basking in the sun. When the alarm clock rang, it was exactly six in the morning.

He even got up earlier to connect with Chu Xuan.

After finishing all the necessary tasks, he went out to the square and saw a giant, about 2.45 meters tall, fall from the pillar of light of the main god and stand next to Chu Xuan.

[Huh? Could he have actually discovered something even more interesting? Didn't Chu Xuan have sex with Arno the very night before?]

Mu Xiang walked down to the main god and greeted Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan glanced at him, then nodded: "Good morning."

"What are you doing?" Mu Xiang asked Arno, feigning ignorance.

So Chu Xuan explained his research on creating humans, and then looked at Mu Xiang and said, "Of course, it's understandable if you don't create one... After all, with your physical abilities, even a special forces soldier with twice the six dimensions wouldn't be enough."

Mu Xiang shrugged: "Creating humans doesn't mean much to me, I don't have any need for it... I took a look at it at the time, and the main god said that humans shouldn't have knowledge beyond their own scope of knowledge, so I didn't consider it. Because no matter how much I follow you, I can't create a special forces soldier. Twice the size of an ordinary person... that's actually quite limited in a horror movie."

After saying that, he showed Chu Xuan his bracelet, and then with a thought, Zheng Zha's power armor stood in front of the two of them: "You've seen the bracelet, right... I want to ask if you can solve this? Although Zheng Zha's power armor is not seriously damaged, it may still be affected by a violent collision."

He pointed to the large dent on the front of his power armor: "I crashed into this... I wonder if you could help me fix it. You know I'm just a liberal arts student, I can't do this kind of hard work."

Chu Xuan looked at the armor with interest, then nodded: "No problem... You should have noticed that exchanging technology data in the God Space is extremely cheap. If I have enough materials, I can even craft some high-tech equipment without spending any side quests."

Mu Xiang said somewhat apologetically, "Uh, yes, but I only looked at some things that interested me... I don't have the ability to assemble them myself."

Chu Xuan was still muttering, "Having this actual machine will make the research much easier," when he heard Mu Xiang say this, he looked at Mu Xiang and said, "Then you come and learn."

"Eh?"

Upon entering Chu Xuan's room, Mu Xiang observed that it was indeed simple, with only one piece of almost every practical piece of furniture. The only thing presentable was a sofa, indicating that Chu Xuan had considered the needs of his visitors.

At this point, Chu Xuan hadn't yet created the astonishing basement that would later become a spectacle, so Mu Xiang didn't need to worry about his safety...

Chu Xuan pulled out a bunch of tools from somewhere and began exploring, lifting the power armor on his own. Soon after, he started repairing potentially faulty internal mechanical parts.

Mu Xiang, however, stood obediently with Arno on the side watching Chu Xuan operate, without making a single extra sound. He only helped explain when Chu Xuan asked a few questions, and he looked quite like a primary school student with a teacher.

After Chu Xuan finished repairing the power armor, he looked up at Mu Xiang and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"There's nothing wrong with it," Mu Xiang said, stroking his chin. "But I feel like I haven't learned anything."

Chu Xuan remained noncommittal: "It seems you still need to improve your practical skills in science and technology... Although you don't need to master extra scientific knowledge here, some hands-on ability is still very necessary—of course, I'm not talking about fighting."

Is this how Chu Xuan tells jokes...?

Then Chu Xuan closed the power armor, observed it for a moment, and nodded, saying, "It can be used normally now... I was worried about the safety of this nuclear fusion battery, but the power supply structure provided by the main god is excellent. Even if the energy source is penetrated from the front, it will not explode directly. This design structure is worth remembering."

Mu Xiang smiled and put the power armor into his oath, then returned to the Main God Square with Chu Xuan. This time, Arno did not come along.

Upon opening the door, a massive golden stone tablet floated five meters in mid-air, radiating a soft golden glow. Mu Xiang wasn't surprised. He glanced at his watch; it was already past eight o'clock… suggesting that it had appeared twelve hours after returning to the Main God Space.

He looked up and gazed at the stone tablet with Chu Xuan, and the information on the tablet immediately appeared in his mind.

But to Mu Xiang's surprise, the information he read was somewhat different from what was recorded in the novel... The information noted the name of the team, retained the team battle rewards and a series of toxic motivational quotes, but it lacked the claim that the return of the fifth-order gene lock would lead to the extinction of humanity.

Why is this happening...? If my speculation is correct, and Li Xiaoyi isn't the protagonist while the clone is, then the author's writing shouldn't be focused on the Central Continent Team.

So, does the overturning of old assumptions, or the discrepancy in information, only prove that this is the true nature of this God Realm...?

Another thing that caught Mu Xiang's attention was the explanation of the various levels of gene locks on the stone tablet. The good news was that although the explanation of the various levels of gene locks in this God Space was also brief, it was the same as the content that Mu Xiang had revealed to Chu Xuan.

Judging from Zheng Zha's resurrection of Chu Xuan in the original story and his explanation of the characteristics of each level of gene lock, Chu Xuan himself should have already deduced the function of the second-level gene lock. Furthermore, the information Mu Xiang revealed last night shows that the characteristics of the third and fourth levels match this; as for the fifth level, Chu Xuan could tell its extraordinary nature just by looking at "energy control," so it's not surprising that humans haven't been able to research and deduce it. Therefore, the information displayed on the stone tablet should lend more credibility to his words.

He couldn't possibly reveal a bunch of information to Chu Xuan half-truthfully, only for Chu Xuan to run into someone else who would then tell him, "That was all bullshit, let me tell you the full version," could he?

After reading this information, Mu Xiang turned to look at Chu Xuan. This man had obviously already understood the contents of the stone tablet, but he was staring at the stone tablet in a daze.

[As expected, "changing genes" is very tempting for him.]

Mu Xiang didn't say anything more at the right time. He sighed inwardly and started checking the God's Exchange again... Today he could decide on the enhancement content for everyone, and at the same time, he needed to allocate the reward points reasonably. He had to make a plan in advance.

As he checked the exchange options, he silently calculated the reward points and side quest details in his mind. Since each person could only exchange for someone else once every ten days, he needed to consider the specific arrangements and the appropriate wording.

Chu Xuan kept staring at the stone tablet, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps completely absorbed in his own world.

By the time everyone got up, it was already midday, and they gradually gathered in the square. Everyone stared blankly at the stone tablet as they arrived, but Chu Xuan was patient enough to wait until everyone was there before calling out Arno.

When the 2.45-meter-tall Arno emerged from the room, hunched over, everyone's gaze towards Chu Xuan immediately changed. Zheng Zha, in particular, kept switching his eyes between Mu Xiang, Chu Xuan, and Arno, as if asking Mu Xiang: Is this the style you described for Chu Xuan?
However, Chu Xuan immediately started talking about what he thought were the uses of creating humans, completely disregarding the feelings of the person who had already created a partner... That's Chu Xuan's style.

As expected, Zhang Jie was clearly agitated, and it was Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha who managed to calm him down.

After that topic ended, Chu Xuan began to explain the uses of technological weapons. Listening to Chu Xuan's detailed and patient explanation, and seeing the nods of the Central Continent Team members, Mu Xiang couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated.

[So, after Chu Xuan died in the original story, did you manage to acquire enough high-tech weapons?]

After Chu Xuan finished explaining the technological weapons, Mu Xiang took over the conversation and said to everyone, "I'm not sure if the next match will be a team battle... The stone tablet only said that after three or more humans unlock their genetic locks, our Central Continent team will be randomly matched with other Ancient Continent teams, but it didn't say whether it's 100% certain that it will happen in the next match. However, since this is a possibility, we need to divide the team's roles, and of course, the same applies to exchanging for enhancements."

“Besides some high-tech weapons that are a good fit for everyone, I also found a rather powerful exchange series, but I can’t exchange for any of them,” Mu Xiang said. “That is the exchange related to mental power. I thought it could help me enhance my combat power, such as giving the opponent a mental shock in close combat or something... but I can’t exchange for any of them because my body can’t handle mental energy.”

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "This is intriguing... You all know my physical abilities, yet I can't exchange for the cheapest C-grade item in the series. Perhaps it's not a matter of physical strength but rather compatibility. So I'd like to ask you all to try and see if anyone can exchange for it?"

Let's discuss the two controversial chapters from yesterday, specifically the issue of the protagonist revealing information to Chu Xuan. Some argue that lying to Chu Xuan once requires countless more lies to cover it up, but I disagree. Based on information from the original novel and Chu Xuan's reactions to the players in "The Primordial Era," Chu Xuan's deduction of the gene lock likely reached the second stage. Furthermore, upon hearing the players' complaints about the "Zheng Xingxing," a copy of Chu Xuan, he began to consider the possibility of being in a game world or a parallel world. The information the protagonist revealed to Chu Xuan included several inventions related to Chu Xuan's father's dying wish, Chu Xuan's known gene lock theory, and the third and fourth stage claims were immediately verified by the golden tablet the following day. The protagonist's identity in another world is true, as is his understanding of Chu Xuan. The only lie is that the Chu Xuan in that other world (actually, Chu Xuan's future self as he understands it; if Chu Xuan hadn't entered the God's Space, he would likely have continued his research to fulfill his father's wish until success, before considering death). In this case, Chu Xuan would be skeptical, and the true information could be gradually verified, while the false information was impossible to disprove!

Regarding Chu Xuan's script, I must point out that this is a deviated state. Furthermore, even in the official historical version of Chu Xuan's script, his background might not be as detailed as that of a time traveler. Even including a time traveler, there are two possibilities: 1. The time traveler is an exception to the script, and everyone is on the same team. If Chu Xuan reads the script and finds you missing, does he intend to eliminate you? 2. The time traveler is part of the script, and everyone is already part of the same group. Why would Chu Xuan, having the script, make things difficult for you? Wouldn't that be giving you a free ride? The prevailing attitude of fearing Chu Xuan like a tiger when he sees the script is unclear.
