Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"I'm still not used to ascending the throne and becoming the King of Elden..."

He suddenly turned his head to look at his two good 'buddies':

"Once this world is repaired, let's take a few members of the guild and go on a spaceship trip to space. Maybe we can even reunite with Darkflame again?"

Will we meet again amidst the stars?

Jin Zi raised her head and looked up at the starry sky.

Even though she couldn't see anything, it was as if she were witnessing the moment of reunion, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Emerald waved her vine arms: "Me...can I go too?"

"go with!"

"oh....."

....................................

Several months later, Cang Lan returned to the research institute where she had once been.

The once magnificent academy has been almost completely razed to the ground, with only a few ruins standing silently, offering a glimpse into its former glory.

The waters of Black Lake remain calm.

He leaned on his sword, took a deep breath, and raised his arm. The shimmering light slowly reformed into a delicate ring in mid-air.

"I really don't want to be the King of Elden after all..."

He muttered something under his breath and plunged his greatsword into the center of the circle.

Its azure body began to radiate streams of light.

Even though the center of the ring was empty, when his azure greatsword was inserted into it, it was as if he had entered a strange space, with not a single blade of the sword protruding from behind the ring.

Click click click...

He pushed the greatsword in with all his might, and when it reached a certain point, he gritted his teeth and twisted the sword with all his might, as if he were turning a key to a lock.

"Click...click...click..."

As the greatsword twisted, the ring composed of fragments of rules suddenly began to spin rapidly, faster and faster.

When a certain critical point was reached, amidst a tremendous roar, golden ripples spread outwards from that point, sweeping across the entire world at an incredible speed.

A beam of light shot into the sky, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the world.

Slowly, the dark clouds and haze receded, and a ray of clear sunlight shone down, landing precisely on the back alley.

Tens of millions of displaced people slowly raised their heads, gazing blankly at the azure sky they had never seen before.

Its daybreak.

................

The image slowly faded away.

The notification from the Hall of Light appeared again.

[Settlement complete, returning soon]

[Executioner, prepare for the attack!]

------------------

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 1 was actually my own request.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Xia slowly opened his eyes and saw the Star God and the Little Knight squatting in front of him, looking at him curiously.

Li Xia shook her head, dispelling the feeling of confusion, and sat up.

How long have I been back?

The Star God thought carefully for a moment: "Not long... according to the time you mentioned..."

He glanced at the oversized watch on his wrist and said sheepishly, "It'll only take... about ten minutes."

Ten minutes? That's alright...

Because I feel dizzy every time I come back, I don't know how long I've been dizzy.

This was the first time Li Xia had known that being sent directly back from the Hall of Light meant he would need to sleep for ten minutes before waking up.

"Did you guys go into a fight?"

The Star God suddenly asked:

When I came back, my body was tattered and covered in injuries.

I was thinking of patching it up with stones, but…

He pointed to the ceiling: "Suddenly a beam of light descended, and you were restored."

Li Xia suddenly realized that all his injuries seemed to have healed, and the Hall of Light hadn't deducted any money from his pay.

He found the clue, and sure enough, there was an additional line:

[The basic safety net for the Extreme Evil Original World has been triggered: Complete the Extreme Evil Original World main quest and return to the Hall of Fame to receive free healing.]

Wow, the Hall of Light does a really good job with logistical support.

It's easy to imagine how well the apostles lived when the Temple of Light controlled them and there were no guilds.

If you really encounter a place that doesn't care about anything, just throws you out into the world, and when you bring you back, you have to pay for all your own injuries, big or small, and they even try to kill you or force you to fight, wouldn't that be horrible?

Seeing the disappointment in Xing Shen's eyes, Li Xia felt too embarrassed to meet his gaze directly and could only say:

"We can't pull you into that world, otherwise, the two of us together would definitely beat him senseless!"

Star God sighed, half disappointed and half regretful: "Then remember to take me next time."

Li Xia nodded emphatically: "I definitely will next time!"

The little knight squatted down in front of his older brothers and carefully poked them with his finger.

It instinctively cried out, "Ouch, ouch!"

But after it got up, it realized that its wounds had all healed, so it immediately stopped barking and flapped its tail twice to wake up its second and third brothers: "Get up, get up, we're all healed!"

After Heitan and Xiaotian woke up, Aowu told his fourth brother about what had happened to them in a slightly exaggerated tone.

Their language is so exaggerated and their metaphors so fantastical that an outsider might think the four of them had entered subspace to fight the Four Evil Gods.

Star God listened intently, his eyes filled with longing. He wished he were there, ready to unleash a Pegasus Meteor Fist on those monsters and then charge down for a good beating.

The battle was exhilarating!

But after recounting the earth-shattering battle with undiminished enthusiasm, Aowu sighed and flew to Li Xia's side:

"Boss, there's something wrong with the difficulty of this world!"

Li Xia has also been reflecting on and reviewing this world event.

Upon hearing Xiaolong's question, he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, there is indeed a problem."

This world shouldn't be one that a fifth-tier apostle can conquer.

Actually, the beginning was alright, even somewhat easy, but the appearance of the black beast immediately raised the difficulty level by several levels.

If Li Xia didn't possess the Map of Mountains and Rivers, divine power, and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts...

And methods to deal with the rule-based abilities of the Black Beast. Even a top-tier fifth-order apostle would be wiped out in a single encounter when facing the Black Beast.

This rule-based monster is quite different from all the enemies he has encountered before.

Even the Old Gods fought against their incarnations, and those incarnations also had physical forms.

The Black Beast is different; it has no physical form, and its shape is merely a simulation.

In other words, it has neither the movements limited by the physical hardware of a living organism, nor activities such as muscles.

Li Xia's predictions rely more on impromptu reactions than on his ability to anticipate humanoid enemies, where he often has a thorough understanding of their moves and openings.

The battle with the Black Beast was more like a head-on clash, a back-and-forth exchange of blows, to see who could withstand the attack.

It's fair to say that if Li Xia didn't have divine power, or was unwilling to use it, he would have been doomed.

Even so, his divine power was completely exhausted, and he barely managed to defeat the black beast.

Basically, they used every means at their disposal, even destroying the avatar.

"This level of difficulty truly lives up to its A to SS+ rating..." Xiao Long clicked his tongue. "The range is just too big!"

Li Xia remained silent for a long while before speaking:

"The Temple of Light must have calculated everything about me."

In His prediction, I had a chance to defeat the Black Beast, which is why He sent us to that world.

Normally, a fifth-tier apostle would absolutely never be able to fight such a rule-bound monster.

Is the Black Beast strong?

It's strong, but only because it incorporates the rules.

Ultimately, it relies on its mechanism and its rule-based attack methods; there are no other tricks.

But if you can't stop it, there's nothing you can do about it.

Apart from divine power, other powers have very little impact on the rules.

Li Xia's true qi could at least harm it.

He even doubted that ordinary apostles could even harm the black beasts, let alone break the rules.

"This Hall of Light is really something else, they timed it perfectly so we'd be attacked..."

What if it overturns?

"If it crashes, it's all over," Li Xia said quietly. "Don't forget, we were the ones who proactively suggested to the Hall of Fame that we have a challenging world..."

Awoo opened its mouth, and it really was...

Li Xia pondered for a while, then put aside the jumbled thoughts.

As usual, let's start by reviewing the rewards.

The three little ones immediately sat down in a row, and Star God and Little Knight also sat down on the side in a similar manner.

Although the Black Beast World was ultimately outmaneuvered and its divine power was depleted, the gains were still substantial.

First, there are treasure chests.

This was quite a treasure chest harvest; I got a total of 9 chests.

All four titled hunters under Yuanxu No. 4 obtained treasure chests.

The four tuners also dropped chests, but the tuners' chests were affected by other factors, such as the participation of Azure and Helena.

Li Xia estimates that it's most likely a "water tank".

The small one certainly made a contribution, but its share was probably only around 30% to 40%, which is an effective share, but it did not reach the complete share of more than 80%.

So while these "water tanks" can yield items, don't get your hopes up too high.

The black beast didn't leave the chest, possibly because it's a collection of rules.

However, after completing the final main quest, you are given a "World Treasure Chest".

Li Xia expressed her anticipation.

The nine boxes were lined up in front of me, emitting lights of different colors:

Although the four title hunter chests are orange, the aura they emit is very solid, clearly indicating that they are the ultimate orange-level chests.

The four tuner chests next to it emanated a faint golden glow.

The World Treasure Chest, placed separately, was particularly peculiar. Not only did it have exquisite reliefs, but it also appeared to depict the scene of him slaying the Black Beast.

The entire world treasure chest was surrounded by a seven-colored halo, which flowed continuously and was extremely beautiful.

Li Xia glanced at it and noticed that the World Treasure Chest even had a special note.
