Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

【The Origin of Wood】

【quality:???】

【property:???】

【type:???】

Current state: Starvation (Primary state)

Suitable Environments: High-energy, vibrant environments; Wood-elemental environments.

[Current preferences: Earth-based energy enrichment, Water-based energy enrichment]

[Current Output: Wood Mother, Wood Essence]

[Note: This source cannot be brought into derived or original worlds (describing the source requires a massive amount of resources)]

[Evaluation: A gift from the Tree of Origin to the world's beloved little knights. Because they share the same origin, the seeds planted here require extremely vast and expensive resources to grow.]

Li Xia's gaze fell on the suitable environment and his current preferences. After thinking for a while, he shouted in the team channel:

"Awoo!"

The three little ones who were playing around, along with Hel and the little knight, immediately rushed over.

"Coming, boss!"

Li Xia nodded and said, "Go to the market and buy some things. You need earth-type energy enrichment and water-type energy enrichment. Buy whatever you think is best."

"okay!"

The eldest brother immediately raised his arm and shouted, "Come on, let's go shopping!"

The wild Hel and the little knight didn't know what shopping was, but they just cheered, "Let's go shopping!"

Although the little knight couldn't speak, he jumped around a couple of times and raised his hands to express his happiness.

Although the two of them couldn't go inside the hall, how could that possibly stump Grandpa Long?

We directly purchased two consciousness-mapping robots with virtually no latency. They are fully simulated human structures with sensory projections, making them extremely realistic.

The key is that it only costs two thousand Hall Points, which is incredibly cheap. It's usually bought by Apostles as sex toys.

For example, some apostles with rather perverse psychology and needs want to experience the feeling of having sex with someone who only exists in legends, such as 'shadow clone + seduction technique'.

Watching the three little ones and two humanoid robots skip and hop out the door, Li Xia shook her head, stood up, and walked towards another room.

"The hall is a personal space that simulates a suitable environment for wood."

[The current level requires 40,000 Hall Points to simulate a high-energy, abundant, and active environment.]

[The simulated ley line environment requires 22,000 Hall Points; maintenance cost: 9,000 points per world]

Li Xia didn't even glance at it. These Hall Points were nothing to him. As his rank increased, the purchasing power of Hall Points exhibited a rather strange superposition: the purchasing power of high-end goods kept decreasing, but the purchasing power of basic goods remained unchanged.

[Deduction successful. Environment simulation started. Please wait.]

[A high-energy environment has been detected in the executioner; merging is in progress...]

A slight but continuous tremor came from the ground. Li Xia immediately walked outside and saw that the obsidian gate that led to the space where Jin Xing was located in the open space suddenly shone with light.

The glossy black surface was covered with patterns resembling ancient vines, which shimmered with a faint bluish-green hue and were intertwined with fine, silvery-green light patterns.

Even around the door, there was a hazy mist of water vapor and the scent of grass and trees. Unidentified grasses and wildflowers swayed and grew, carrying fresh dew and specks of fluorescent light, spreading like morning mist in the forest.

[Simulation successful]

Li Xia, carrying the Wood Origin with its tender bud at the top, stepped through the stone gate and was immediately drawn to the strange environment before him.

Where the metal element originally resided, the ground was covered with silvery-white metallic objects, and lightning and dark clouds swirled in the sky.

At this moment, the space in front of them seemed to be split in two by some force, with one side being where the metal element once resided.

On the other side, there was a blue sky and white clouds, with warm sunlight shining down and a comforting fragrance.

Li Xia walked directly to the other side, and as soon as she stepped inside, a warm, humid atmosphere hit her face.

Beneath his feet lay thick, soft, black soil that had a springy feel to it. He could feel a powerful force slowly flowing deep within the earth, which must be what is known as the earth's veins.

Not far away, a clear spring gurgles and flows along a shallow ditch into the forest. The rising water vapor condenses into a thin mist in the air, then turns into fine dew that falls down, making the whole space vibrant with life.

Ancient trees of unknown age grow all around, their branches and leaves flourishing like umbrellas.

Countless tiny, luminous green specks, the size of rice grains, floated and flitted through the forest like fireflies; they were manifestations of active wood-elemental energy.

The source of wood in the palm seemed to smell the scent of food, and the tender bud at its tip trembled slightly twice.

Li Xia walked to the most fertile open space next to the spiritual spring, squatted down, and prepared to plant it.

Unexpectedly, the tender shoot suddenly stood up, its roots like feet, waving two short and thin branches.

It danced and gesticulated wildly in a remarkably anthropomorphic manner, leaping from the palm and plunging directly into the ground. A faint glow emanated from the surface of the tender sprout, causing it to sway, as terrifying energy surged towards it from all around.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Li Xia felt that the tender sprout, which was originally only the size of a fingertip, had visibly grown a bit.

A noisy commotion came from behind, and Awoo led several animals of different sizes in, looking around in surprise.

"It's actually connected to the Golden Space. Didn't the hall have a separate space?"

Thankfully, Bao Xuanji wasn't there. If she were, she would probably be green with envy at the sight before her.

For a palace, simulating such an environment is extremely simple; but for them, it truly requires great effort and more reliance on the advantages of the location.

They formed a circle, staring curiously at the tiny, swaying sprouts on the ground.

When the bud was on the little knight's head, it did not draw energy from the little knight. Instead, it relied more on the natural aura emitted by the primordial tree to maintain its own activity, so it maintained its initial stable state and did not grow.

"Boss, I bought a little of each, let's see if they're useful."

Aowu pulled out all the things he had purchased at once, such as earth-type crystals, which are usually inlaid on the staffs of mages.

The Call of the Earth is a petrifying liquid that can form a dense stone skin on the body surface.

Fountain of Life, a high-level healing medicine, has a certain 'injury healing' effect and contains extremely high vitality.

Eternal Holy Water is made from similar materials.

Li Xia buried earth-elemental crystals of varying sizes around the sapling, and sure enough, the sapling swayed even more violently.

Then, he picked up the Fountain of Life and tried dripping a drop.

The moment the spring water touches the tender buds, it immediately decreases at a speed visible to the naked eye.

To Li Xia and the three little ones' astonishment, the tender bud suddenly raised its small branches on both sides, which stretched out like hands, grabbed the mouth of the bottle, and pulled down forcefully.

"Glug glug glug glug glug"

A torrent of life gushed down, washing over it until the last drop fell from the bottle's opening. It shook the bottle before tossing it aside, its body swaying as if in a dance.

After a moment of silence, Aowu suddenly said, "Boss, do you think it's a little too big?"

Li Xia nodded: "Mm."

The tender shoot, which was originally only the size of a thumb, is now almost the size of a palm.

Kinomoto suddenly pushed himself up from the ground with both hands.

Two thin branches curled up, like a person bending their arms to show off their muscles.

Then, tiny mushroom-like caps suddenly sprouted from its original green leaves, but upon closer inspection, the branches and leaves were lush, clearly indicating that it was a super miniature tree.

Then, a tiny, bright green fruit, no bigger than a sesame seed, grew on the canopy. If their eyesight hadn't been exceptionally sharp, they wouldn't have even noticed this minuscule little fruit.

With a flick of its head, the sapling shed its fruit and sent it flying.

Awoo reacted swiftly, pinching the fruit with its sharp claws, followed by an exclamation: "Holy crap!"

【Wood Mother】

[Quality: Gold - Ultimate (Limit 5 Material Limit)]

【Origin: Hall of Light - Five-Star Executioner's Personal Space - Origin of Wood】

[Type: Rare Grade Metal Material]

[Evaluation: The nature of wood is to gather and take shape]

For top-tier materials like Golden Crystal Wood Mother, the limitation to their quality is not the material's upper limit, but rather the upper limit of its grade.

Li Xia held the wooden mother, which was barely bigger than a sesame seed, with a hint of regret. If only it were the essence of earth; he now possessed all four elements, except for earth.

He even had a vague premonition: if the Earth Elements were also gathered, then the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts would probably be considered to have truly entered the realm of magic.

Moreover, he doesn't lack wood essence right now, and has already reached his current limit, so even if he absorbs more, it won't increase.

Just as he was pondering this, he saw the sapling suddenly pull itself out of the ground with its arms and run outwards, waving its arms.

Li Xia: ? ? ?

To their astonishment, the tiny tree raced off to the other side and soon reached the edge of the forest.

It waved its arms in that direction, and a beam of green light shot straight out from the top of its head, soaring into the sky.

What is this being done?

Just as they were puzzled, a fierce yet adorable roar suddenly came from the other side of the silvery-white metallic world: "Awooo——————!"

On the other side of the metal world, a palm-sized figure spread its four paws and rushed towards this side, seemingly fast but actually very slow.

The little tiger, who used to eat and sleep all the time, suddenly changed its behavior. With its eyes wide open and its fat body trembling, it charged towards the sapling with an incredibly cute aura.

As if seeing some irreconcilable enemy, Xiaoshu, when still half a meter away, wildly waved its arms and charged back as if swinging a tortoise's fist.

The tree and the tiger instantly tangled together, beginning a playful battle.

The colors of gold and blue flashed back and forth, and the sky above also kept changing.

After fighting for a long time, they didn't even lose a single hair. Then the tree and the tiger separated, both panting heavily, as if they were exhausted, and faced each other again, unwilling to give in.

After roaring twice, they turned around and went back triumphantly, like great generals who had won a battle.

Li Xia: ..........

What a... exhilarating battle!

Chapter 6 Palace Dispatch Workers

Li Xia and the others watched as the two tiny creatures, no bigger than the palm of their hands, engaged in a truly earth-shattering battle.

It was indeed earth-shattering, because even though the two origins were in their nascent stages, as origins, they could still easily influence the entire celestial phenomenon.

Therefore, when the battle broke out, the wind and clouds changed color, and the light flashed wildly; it was truly a grand spectacle.

Although one of them only knows how to throw wild punches, and the other only knows how to pounce on its prey like a hungry tiger...

But the question is... why would they travel all this way to fight?

"Gold and wood are in conflict with each other?"

Li Xia pinched his chin, frowned, and slowly said, "This is a theory that has been passed down from ancient China to the present day."

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts also involve the mutual generation of the Five Elements, which is the only reason he could think of.

"What?"

The three little ones tilted their heads and asked curiously.

Li Xia said slowly:

"Metal can overcome wood, but strong wood can be weakened by metal; weak wood encountering metal will surely be cut down..."

He explained, "In terms of the Five Elements, metal and wood are mutually destructive, so I suspect that's why they fought."

Li Xia had never seen the theory of the Five Elements in the palace or even in the void, and the idea of ​​the Five Elements generating and restraining each other was just an abstract concept.

Just as earth magic and water magic are not mutually exclusive in the temple, fire magic is not necessarily able to defeat equally matched water magic.

The Five Elements are a concept in ancient philosophical theory, based on five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, to explain the laws governing the composition and interaction of all things in the universe.

But now that Kaneki and Kinki have met, it's like a 'battle' that neither side can tolerate, which makes Li Xia think in that direction.

Li Xia gave the three children a brief explanation of the basics of the Five Elements, and then added:
