Alone and Infinite

While being extremely figure-hugging, it also gives people an irresistible feeling of indestructibility, making it extremely appealing.

It was surprisingly suitable for Li Xia, given his indifferent face and the temperament honed by the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Awoo opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he managed to utter a sentence:

"What a cool entrance!"

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal nodded in agreement. Putting everything else aside, the way this armor made its entrance was simply too outrageous.

It instantly turned into armor from lava!

Li Xia looked down at the magnificent armor; it was too beautiful, which made it seem inappropriate.

However, this is not a big problem; you can just find a robe to cover it up.

As it tried to move its body, the scale-like armor plates made a 'rustling' sound.

Despite being made of stone armor, it did not hinder movement and allowed for exceptional agility.

"Very flexible!"

Li Xia nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, his armor suddenly lost its color, as if its essence had been suddenly extracted.

Surrounded by several people, the surface of the faded armor was covered with dense cracks, and tiny specks of dust drifted out from it.

Noticing Li Xia's gaze, it howled and blew out another gust of wind, instantly sending up a surge of fine, grayish-white dust.

It stretched out behind Li Xia, fluttering like a long cloak.

It eventually vanished into the wind.

"Not bad!"

Li Xia nodded in satisfaction again:

"Whether it's taking it in or releasing it, it's extremely convenient and perfectly meets my expectations! Thank you!"

Madao waved his hand dismissively. The alliance was deepened through such mutually beneficial cooperation.

"Let's have a drink together, I'm heading to the mid-level area soon."

Madaro took out some drinks from his personal space and had the housekeeping robot bring over a few side dishes.

"it is good!"

Li Xia readily agreed.

The old man, the young boy, and three animals sat around the stone table, with a lush pear tree blooming all year round overhead.

Occasionally, a warm breeze would waft through the forging area, blowed by the fans fanned by other blacksmiths.

The pear tree swayed its branches, and white petals detached from the blossoms, fluttering down in mid-air.

Like fine snow, it quickly covered the entire area.

Occasionally, a petal falls into the wine glass, floating on the liquid and creating tiny ripples.

The drinker didn't care at all; instead, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, even swallowing the petal.

The delicate floral fragrance lingers in the mouth; perhaps it could be called 'pear blossom wine'.

Madao and Li Xia drank cup after cup, but hardly touched the side dishes on the table.

The two chatted casually, without any mention of the past or the future.

They talked about whatever came to mind, and Aowu and Heitan also raised their glasses with amusement, listening to the two chatting casually.

"So this is the temple, this is the apostle!"

Madaro took another big gulp of liquor, the clear liquid dripping down his chin onto his beard.

The old man simply wiped his mouth, then suddenly started talking about how he had just entered the hall and was full of confidence that he would rise to prominence at lightning speed with his intelligence.

To his surprise, according to his plan, everyone in the trial instance should have benefited.

However, he was stabbed in the back by the most useless person, who should also be the biggest beneficiary of this plan.

That stab was extremely deep and vicious; even the man's crazed expression when he stabbed him remained etched in Madao's mind.

Madaro touched the scar on his chest. How could the treatment in the hall leave a scar? But he left the scar anyway.

"Everyone here is the protagonist of their own story, and they believe so."

He raised his glass, looking at the ever-shining dome, and said:

"Here you'll find the strongest liquor, the most beautiful women, the most passionate emotions, and the most despicable betrayals."

This is a land of miracles, a land of despair, the best of places, and the worst of places.

Madaro let out a burp and, tipsy, raised his glass:

"Honor the apostles, honor the temple!"

Li Xia's eyes grew even deeper, and he silently clinked his glass together.

I raised my hand towards the sky, and in my mind came the image of a dazzling light suddenly exploding in the boundless universe.

And the '∞' symbol rising from the light, so unrestrained.

Even though it was only a remnant of its power, it put the other four halls on high alert, and even instilled a sense of fear in them.

Yes, it's fear.

The more excited and cautious they are at the moment of transcendent radiance, the greater their fear!

Li Xia paused, then raised the wine glass, which was already at her lips, to the sky again.

Respect. Transcendence!

The enormous gate stretched to the sky, and the high walls blocked out the view on both sides.

Occasionally, a passing apostle would cast an envious glance at this place.

Everyone knows what standing in front of this door represents: a wider world.

"See you at the fourth tier!"

Madao, with his hands behind his back, nodded to Li Xia.

"Okay, see you at Tier 4!"

Li Xia, dressed in casual clothes, waved to Ma Daou.

The massive bronze door rumbled open to both sides, revealing a phantom of light and shadow.

Madaro smiled and walked step by step into the doorway.

Li Xia watched his figure disappear, and then watched the huge bronze door close.

"Fourth tier, huh?"

It murmured and howled, as if it could see itself and the kitten standing behind the boss, watching the gate of rank suddenly open in front of them.

"Hmm, fourth tier! It'll be quick, not long."

Li Xia rubbed Hei Tan's forehead, hoisted the kitten onto his shoulder, and with a carefree smile, turned and walked back towards the square.

"It's time for us to set off too!"

[Executioner, your time limit for staying in this hall has been reached. Please proceed to the teleportation plaza within ten minutes.]

Li Xia found her familiar spot and waited quietly.

At the same time, the huge circular plaza seemed to erupt in a final burst of noise, which gradually quieted down after a period of commotion.

Even the street vendors stopped hawking their wares and stood silently in front of their stalls, watching intently.

The circular plaza then fell into an indescribable calm.

Everyone watched in silence as the enormous bronze gate slowly rose in the center of the square.

Blinding light and red lightning surged forth from the doorway, then, confined by the hall, meandered and climbed along the door frame.

What appeared before the many apostles was a continuously rotating void portal.

"Let's go, a new adventure!"

Li Xia walked towards the door first, his mood slightly heavy, aside from the impending teleportation.

His strongest emotion was anticipation; he had grown accustomed to this life of traveling between different worlds like a traveler.

Each world is like a temporary hotel, just a part of his journey.

Before me lay darkness, followed by the notification of the Hall of Light.

[The derivative world is about to begin, executioners, please prepare!]

[Checking the spacetime state of the derivative world.]

[Spacetime state stabilized, time flow initiated]

[Imprinting the derivative world]

[The derivative world has been printed.]

[Executioner, you are about to travel to the derivative world—One Piece!]

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

I'm stuck on the script; the One Piece storyline has been reworked three or four times.

I was supposed to update twice a week these past few days, but I'm stuck on the One Piece storyline.

These fan-made copies are definitely not as easy to make as original works.

The One Piece storyline was originally written as a simple plot, but I felt it was just so-so.

There are still many unreasonable aspects.

I've been racking my brains trying to figure out this plot point these past few days.

The main reason is that One Piece and Naruto have been over-exploited.

It's difficult to find a new direction. If I really can't come up with a plot that I think is relatively new, then I can only honestly follow the path that others have taken.

I've been frantically looking at information yesterday and today, mainly because I watched One Piece a long time ago, back when I was in college.

About 13 years ago, and then the Wano Country arc was so bad that I stopped watching it.

Please take a day off.

Chapter 339: Another undercover operation?

The unique aroma of wood filled Li Xia's nostrils, and she slowly opened her eyes, shaking off the extremely nauseating dizziness she had experienced after being teleported.

The world before him seemed to be covered by a thick layer of frosted glass, and this blurry feeling quickly faded as he woke up.

Li Xia propped herself up with one hand and sat up, feeling a unique sensation similar to linen in her palm.

The world before my eyes gradually came into focus and finally became clear. Looking up, I saw crisscrossing oak beams, the dark brown wood grain like solidified ocean waves, and the slight fishy smell of aged tung oil seeping from the gaps.

The morning light streamed in through the window, revealing itself amidst the tiny dust particles.

Li Xia then realized that she was lying on a narrow bed. The bed was quite exquisite, with carved bedposts that resembled dolphin tails and exuded a cold aura.

The small window was open, creaking and swaying gently in the wind. The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, squeezed in, causing the oil lamp hanging from the beam to sway from side to side. The sparks from the wick cast flickering shadows on the map scroll.

A wooden table not far away was piled high with parchment maps, and the compass needle, pressing down on the scroll, pointed steadily in one direction.

"This is...the ship's cabin?"

Awoo shook its head and climbed up from the seashell wind chime hanging from the roof, making the wind chime beneath it ring out crisply.

Black Charcoal lay sprawled on the narrow bed, his tongue lolling out to the side, looking just like he was anesthetized while lying on 'Dr. Gadget's' bed.

"Yes, the cabin!"

Li Xia rubbed his forehead. He could clearly feel the power of the Temple of Light still filling the cabin, which meant that the world had not yet officially begun.

"This ship must be quite large, and the person in question must be of high status. I used my priority token."
