Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 167 Shocking Change: The Demon Zheng Zha Appears Across Worlds

A vast and enormous golden column of energy descended from the sky, breaking through the thick clouds and striking the suspended solar disk.

The solar disk transforms and processes this force, then refracts it onto the person standing below it.

The problem lies in 'conversion and processing'.

The power drawn from outside this planet or even this world requires extremely sophisticated rune technology. The power drawn from it cannot be used directly; it needs to be transformed and processed.

Proper transformation and processing will convert the power into a gentle, special energy that is perfectly suited to the recipient.

The recipient can become a god by integrating this special energy into their body.

The dark creature 'Izanagi' tampered with the transformation and processing; the sun disk did not convert the drawn-in power into a gentler power that could be absorbed and digested.

It disrupted the ritual of transformation and processing.

This resulted in the golden cylindrical beam of light refracted by the solar disk being incredibly powerful. This power entered the Dragon Emperor's body, making it impossible for him to actively control or utilize this domineering force.

"This...this..." The Dragon Emperor was horrified. He was enveloped by a golden pillar of light, as if he were being suppressed under a mountain.

The energy was so intense that he couldn't move.

He can only passively receive.

His body seemed to have become a reservoir, with golden energy equivalent to water, which was rapidly condensing within it.

He will burst the moment the reservoir is full.

"Hahaha."

At this moment, the five-meter-tall, one-eyed, humanoid dark creature 'Izanagi' standing atop the mountain let out a triumphant laugh.

"Dragon Emperor, you rely on your near-god-level strength to look down on us. You lost because of your arrogance."

"Your near-god-level strength is indeed formidable, but this supreme treasure disc was made by a god; you are certainly inferior to a god!"

Izanagi bared his fangs, “The gods have set up energy walls around the island nation to imprison us.”

"God is no longer here, and the energy wall will disappear automatically in two hundred years without any further energy support. We are not in a hurry; that is too long."

"I paid a heavy price, sending away my follower 'Izanami,' in an attempt to find a way through the outside world. Dragon Emperor, you are my target!"

It was extremely arrogant, saying, "I will pour extreme and domineering energy into your body, bursting it open and unleashing unparalleled power in an instant."

"You have near-god-level strength. The power to burst your body would be equivalent to a god's strike."

"I will transfer you to the energy wall in time, and use divine power to pierce through the energy wall and break the cage that imprisons me!"

This is King Izanagi's plan. It requires a powerful being to act as an energy storage device, using the solar disk to infuse it with extreme and powerful energy, causing an explosion.

The stronger the entity, the greater the explosive power.

Reaching the level of a god allows one to destroy energy walls.

The Dragon Emperor, the strongest being in this world at this moment, is its chosen target.

See you in the picture!

The Dragon Emperor was not truly powerless to resist. The reason he dared to risk his life was not only because of his own strength, but also because he had a backup plan.

He sacrificed a thousand years of his lifespan to gain the opportunity to perform this technique.

"Five Elements Transference, Substitute Death Technique!"

With the heavy, mountain-like golden energy beam overhead, the Dragon Emperor formed hand seals.

"Golden light condenses into the jade pool, and green wood sprouts and transforms into old branches."

"The mysterious water hangs upside down, connecting the nine orifices; the fire of separation burns incense, severing the life thread."

"The earth element receives the heavens and shifts the stars; the five elements transform the true corpse."

"change!"

On the mountaintop, the character 'Ziyuan', who was watching all of this, suddenly convulsed and her expression changed drastically, because 'domineering energy' had also appeared in her body.

"This is..." Ziyuan turned to Chu Xuan beside her for help, "The Dragon Emperor transferred some of his energy into my body!"

Chu Xuan remained calm, gazing at Zi Yuan, but made no move.

Ziyuan had been a prisoner of the Dragon Emperor for a long time, and had been implanted with magical roots by the Dragon Emperor, becoming his substitute.

He practiced the Five Elements Substitute Death Technique as one of his trump cards, and now it has come in handy.

The one-eyed king Izanagi was startled, but after observing for a moment, he realized it was just an energy transfer and was relieved.

"It's just energy transfer. It's just one more person exploding. The power drawn in by the disc treasure is endless!"

"Dragon Emperor, I did not lie to you. The power of the disc treasure does indeed come from the power of the sun and other worlds."

"It is too powerful, possessing mysteries that we cannot fathom."

Everyone looked at the sun disk. This thing was no ordinary object; it was a treasure that could allow mortals to become gods in one step, and its name must have been known throughout the myriad realms.

The solar disk is just what this world calls it; it has a real name, which is currently unknown.

It draws energy from another world, and no one understands the underlying principles.

As they watched, they suddenly noticed something amazing.

Beside the solar disk, the space vibrated, followed by the sound of glass cracking, revealing a tiny hole the size of a pinhole.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared around the tiny pinhole, a strange phenomenon indicating that space had been forcibly destroyed.

None of the people present were weak; the tiny hole and the strange phenomenon of lightning and thunder were too conspicuous, and they all noticed them.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's astonishment, a stream of black energy emerged from the tiny pinhole.

The black energy transformed into a man, whose back unfurled a pair of dragon wings, and he quickly flew away from the vicinity of the sun disk. He flapped his wings and hovered in mid-air beside it.

"Aha, they actually made it! Chu Xuan didn't lie to me." The man said excitedly. He had a scarred face, a smile on his face, and a powerful aura of menace emanating from him.

On the mountaintop, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, Ba Wang, and the others were all stunned when they saw the man floating in mid-air.

Because this man looks exactly like Zheng Zha.

However, he had a scar on his face, and his aura was completely different from Zheng Zha's.

Moreover, the man even mentioned the name 'Chu Xuan'.

"Let me introduce myself." Facing the bewildered and stunned gazes of the crowd, the dragon-winged man floating in mid-air revealed a bright smile and said, "I am Zheng Zha, a clone from the Demon Team."

boom!
Upon hearing this, the members of the Central Continent team present were in an uproar.

Why are the Demons here?

How did he get here?
Do the Demon Squad members all have the power to enter other horror movie crews?

At the mountaintop, Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and calmly gazed at the clone of Zheng Zha in mid-air.

Of all the members of the Central Continent team present, only he remained calm.

"Original body, where's Ah Bai? I'm here to find him." The clone Zheng Zha looked around but couldn't find Su Bai, and was greatly disappointed.

He said to the real Zheng Zha, "This energy clone of mine cannot last long. I need to talk to Ah Bai."

"Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that you, as the authentic body, served as the reference point, and this plane happened to loosen, opening a faint passage, I wouldn't have been able to get here."

"This is the destiny that the strong are destined to have."

"Don't just stand there, where's Ah Bai?"

Suddenly, everyone present remembered that the Demon Team had sent a message to the Central Continent Team through other teams, saying that they wanted Su Bai to transfer to the Demon Team.

The original Zheng Zha suddenly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward. "Copy, you are me! What exactly do you want?! You want Ah Bai to transfer teams? No way! I will stop you!"

The clone Zheng Zha looked down at the original Zheng Zha, revealing a calm disdain. "Heh, hypocritical original. It seems that under Ah Bai's protection, you have always maintained this naivety of the weak."

"Only by enduring seven layers of solitude can one become a true strongman."

"You're far from good enough, just a lamb, not my target."

"My only goal is Ah Bai."

Zheng Zha suddenly transformed into a ten-meter-tall Hulk, and with a thought, took out the Phoenix Axe from his storage ring, unleashing his peak third-tier aura.

The clone Zheng Zha remained unmoved and mocked, "The original body, this is just a wisp of my energy clone, its power is less than one ten-thousandth of my original body."

"What kind of hypocrite are you, baring your fangs at my energy clone?"

"If we actually meet, would you dare to bare your teeth at me?"

"Even if I have to bear the weight of the Heavenly Abyss and support the God's Space with one hand, I, Fu Zha, will still be invincible in the world!"

Zheng Zha's eyes reddened. "What the hell are you pretending for?"

His blood boiled, and he was about to leap up and slash at the clone Zheng Zha when Chu Xuan reached out and stopped the real Zheng Zha.

"Leave it to me," Chu Xuan said calmly, looking up at the clone Zheng Zha.

The original Zheng Zha had a very displeased expression on his face. He couldn't stand the clone Zheng Zha and wanted to teach him a lesson.

But Chu Xuan spoke up, silencing him.

"Chu Xuan, it's a pleasure to see you as the original. Your clone is doing very well in the Demon Team. The Demon Team's ability to go from being hunted down by the Celestial Team to being on equal footing with them is all thanks to your clone."

“Hehe, it’s much simpler to talk to you. This is a conversation between strong people. I’m looking for Ah Bai,” said the clone Zheng Zha.

Chu Xuan calmly said, "My clone didn't commit suicide, did it? It also found a reason to live."

"The captain isn't here, but those with mental abilities can contact him."

"In exchange, I'll ask you a question, you tell me the answer, and I'll help you contact the captain."

The clone Zheng Zha laughed loudly, "Chu Xuan, as expected of you, you always value value and are a value-only thinker."

"Only the weak bar their fangs in vain; the strong know how to scheme for their own interests."

"Okay, you can ask."

As he spoke, he glanced disdainfully at the real Zheng Zha, who immediately turned red with anger.

Chu Xuan asked, "How did you manage to transcend the boundaries of horror movies?"

The clone Zheng Zha's expression turned strange, and he said, "It really is this problem. Damn it, your clone is really a prophet."

"It won't hurt to tell you about this."

After a pause, the clone Zheng Zha continued, "It's a fragment of the Investiture of the Gods. We experienced the horror movie 'Shushan' and obtained a part of the Investiture of the Gods fragment in it."

"We spent a great deal of money to repair some of the functions of the 'Investiture of the Gods' from the main god."

“Using it requires paying expensive causal points.”

"Although the Demon Team has been trying to enter the horror movie and contact your Central Continent Team directly, the power of 'Investiture of the Gods' is currently limited and cannot be achieved."

"But just now, the 'Investiture of the Gods' has locked onto your information."

At this point, the clone Zheng Zha turned his head and looked at the Dragon Emperor who was being suppressed by powerful energy under the sun disk, and said, "This plane has opened an energy channel with other planes. Following the channel, my original body sent me here to become a clone."

He added, "Strong people never complain about their environment; strong people always succeed."

"So, I succeeded."

After hearing the clone Zheng Zha's answer, Chu Xuan remained calm, showing no emotion, and said, "Zhan Lan, contact the captain."

The bespectacled girl, Zhan Lan, had never lost contact with Su Bai. In fact, Su Bai was heading towards Mount Fuji. Upon hearing this, she asked Su Bai for his opinion, and after receiving his consent, she pulled the clone Zheng Zha into the mental network.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ah Bai, can you hear me?" The clone Zheng Zha was very active.

"I can," Su Bai's voice rang out.

"Haha, I can finally talk to you properly!" The clone Zheng Zha was very happy. "Ah Bai, you need to be prepared. When our two teams have a team battle, you will be transferring to the Demon Team."

"I've prepared an S-rank side quest for you as a gift for switching teams, hehehe."

"I've already found a way for you to transfer teams; all you need to do is sign it."

"Don't reject me."

You may be a stranger to me, but I am a familiar face to you.

“I’ve been through a lot with the Demons. You don’t know, when I first came to the Demons, the Demons were still a breeding team.”

"Your suggestion for the exchange allowed me to successfully protect the little girl to her private room."

"However, I myself, because of the hypocrisy of the main body, wanted to save those who were being farmed, and almost suffered a tragic future as a result."

Fortunately, I remember many of the things you said to me.

"I took the opportunity to go back to horror movies to improve my rating. During this time, I experienced all sorts of things and completely shattered the hypocritical personality that the original body had given me. Only by simulating your way of thinking can I become stronger."

"I am strong now. You will be safer if you are in my team."

Su Bai remained silent, listening quietly to what the clone Zheng Zha had to say.

Furthermore, he instructed Zhan Lan to pull Chu Xuan in so that Chu Xuan could also hear what the clone Zheng Zha had said.

The reason why Su Bai and Chu Xuan allowed the clone Zheng Zha to speak was the same.

That is to obtain as much information as possible from the clone Zheng Zha.

The clone Zheng Zha said, "We contacted the East America team before, and I heard from them that you, Ah Bai, are still the captain of the Central Continent team. You weren't overshadowed by Chu Xuan."

"You also defeated the East American team."

"Haha, you guys are grinding for points right now, aren't you?"

"Since you defeated the East America team, your team's rating is very high. In the next game or the one after that, you'll be facing my Demon team or the Celestial team in a team battle, right?"

"Ah Bai, there are a total of 17 reincarnation teams in the Main God Space. In the end, only one team will remain, and the people in the other teams will die."

"The last team to remain will inevitably be our Demon Team."

"So, switching to the Demons team was absolutely the right choice, hehe."

You don't need to give me an answer now.

"That's all I have to say. I'll ask you more questions during our team fight."

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, sheep travel thousands of miles to eat grass. The strong survive and the weak are eliminated."

"You and I are both wolves, so we should be together!"

At the summit of Mount Fuji, the original Zheng Zha looked at his clone without saying a word, growing angrier with each glance. He roared, "Why can't we live in peace? You are me, you should understand my thoughts."

The clone Zheng Zha sneered, "Harmony is nothing more than a self-deceiving idea of ​​the weak."

"That's just how the world is. Either the sheep or the wolf dies; either the weak wolf starves to death or the weak sheep is bitten to death."

How can wolves and sheep live in harmony?

"Perhaps this world is too cruel, but that is what makes it beautiful!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The clone Zheng Zha came here only to let Su Bai prepare to switch teams.

This wisp of energy was about to dissipate, but suddenly, he let out a soft exclamation and abruptly turned to look eastward.

"A glimmer of hope... The Yellow-skinned relics in the world of gods and ghosts, this is truly a great discovery."

"Haha, Ah Bai, you're really my lucky star."

After speaking, the clone of Zheng Zha dissipated into the air.

Su Bai, standing atop the head of the Yamata no Orochi, was leisurely making his way towards Mount Fuji, accompanied by a dark red flying sword, his aura growing stronger with each passing moment.

He was gathering his strength. When he arrived at Mount Fuji, both he and his sword would be at their peak. He would then use this state to carry out his killing spree and achieve the most perfect nascent soul.

This is a prerequisite for perfect Core Formation.

Zhan Lan's mental network is still intact, and the clone Zheng Zha has disappeared, but a lot of information has already been obtained from him.

Chu Xuan said, "There's a problem."

"The clone Zheng Zha is very strong, and the Demon Team has a clone of me."

"With both strength and intelligence, it's clear that the clone Zheng Zha also possesses the abilities of a captain."

"Their team consists of individuals recognized by the God of War as having great potential; they are very well-rounded."

"In this situation, the fact that the clone Zheng Zha went to great lengths to come to our horror movie world is both a sign of how much he values ​​you and a demonstration of their power."

"Secondly, the clone Zheng Zha personally showed you enough sincerity, prepared an S-level side story for you, and promised to guarantee you the treatment of the Demon Team."

"They even brought up the end of the war, using the pressure of ending the war to force you to switch sides, using both soft and hard tactics, just to get you to switch teams."

"There is only one deeper, real reason behind this."

Su Bai also thought of it and said, "Inner demons."

Chu Xuan said, "That's right. The clone Zheng Zha's cultivation level is stuck at the peak of the early stage of the fourth rank. He needs to overcome his inner demons if he wants to advance further."

"Judging from his experience with the Demons, his rise to power is largely due to the influence you exerted on him."

"Having experienced too many extreme situations, he always managed to get through them safely by simulating your mindset, which made his obsession with your transfer to the Demon Team gradually become his inner demon."

"Once you complete the team transfer, that's the fact."

"The inner demons of the clone Zheng Zha will be eliminated, thus advancing him to a mid-level fourth-tier powerhouse."

Su Bai agreed with this.

This is information that can be obviously inferred.

"The second question," Chu Xuan said calmly, "is that the Demon Team is looking for a way to escape the Main God Space, and it seems they have made some progress."

He explained, "The clone of me has the same thoughts as me."

“We are not afraid of the Supreme God, nor do we regard the Supreme God as an omniscient, omnipotent, and invincible being.”

"We all have the same idea: to analyze the God Space."

"The Main God Space is just a very difficult scientific research project for us. We will not be imprisoned by a project forever."

"So, whether it's the copy of me or the original me."

"In the end, they will all leave the Main God Space."

"This is one of the reasons why I suggested you exchange for a demiplane."

"We need to have our own base camp."

"My clone has gone further than me. He obtained the 'Investiture of the Gods' and can communicate with us across dimensions even without a main god."

"Will they be able to directly cross dimensions in their true forms next?"

"If they reach that level, then horror movies will not be a danger to them, but an opportunity. They can enter any horror movie and get any resources they want."

This is truly terrifying.

However, according to the original plot, this matter is not that simple.

In the original storyline, only the clone Chu Xuan successfully escaped from the Main God Space, and his escape was partly due to unforeseen circumstances.

It was created by the collision of the two innate treasures, the Investiture of the Gods and the Eastern Emperor Bell.

It's difficult to freely enter and exit horror movies.

Chu Xuan said, "The clone Zheng Zha mentioned the Yellow Skin Ruins and also a glimmer of life."

"There should be fragments to complete the 'Investiture of the Gods' or similar treasures in the Huangfu Ruins."

"The Yellow Skin Ruins are unique, and their entrance is located within the world of Gods and Demons."

Chu Xuan also had some doubts, saying, "Why did the clone Zheng Zha say 'a wisp of life'? A wisp of life means death."

"The Demon Team is very confident of winning the final battle. They will be the last team to survive. If that's the case, why use a phrase like 'a glimmer of hope'?"

"It seems that only by finding the Yellow Skin Ruins can we get the answer."

Su Bai remained silent. This time, the clone Zheng Zha had appeared, and he had obtained too much information.

The Demon Team appears to be stronger than in the original storyline, where they only gained the ability to transmit messages across dimensions much later in the story.

Secondly, Zheng Zha's inner demon, the clone of the Demon Team, became 'Su Bai switching teams'.

If Su Bai doesn't switch teams, this will be an inherently irreconcilable conflict.

Finally, there is the question of the yellow-skinned relics and a glimmer of hope.

Su Bai knew about the Yellow Skin Ruins, which was a 'suspended pavilion in mid-air' containing several innate spiritual treasures and their projections.

Before the 'Hanging Pavilion', there was also the 'First God' guarding it. The 'First God' was an existence that was very similar to the main god's great sphere of light.

The 'Hanging Pavilion' contains the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Jade Disc of Creation, Monkey King's Golden Cudgel, and a bunch of projections of innate spiritual treasures. Those projections are traps; once you take them, you will be located by the enemies of the Main God Space.

These things seem to have nothing to do with 'a glimmer of hope', or if you had to say, they might have some connection.

After all, obtaining a primordial spiritual treasure will definitely increase one's chances of survival.

Su Bai, however, preferred a different idea.

"The clone Chu Xuan is looking for a glimmer of hope. Could it be me?"

Su Bai knew his own situation; the infinite world he had arrived in must be a certain deflection state.

The meaning of the deflection state is to deviate from the original 'story' world.

The universe is multiverse, and each universe unfolds using the same predetermined storyline.

A deflection state indicates that the events unfolding in this universe have deviated from the predetermined plot.

The normal infinite world should be the original plot of 'Infinite Terror', and the infinite world that Su Bai traveled to must be a deviated world.

The ending of the deflected world has a major pitfall: the world will be destroyed.

The more severe the deflection, the sooner the destruction will come.

The only chance of survival seems to lie with the 'variable' Su Bai.

Could it be that the clone Chu Xuan was referring to a glimmer of hope?
Su Bai had many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't be sure.

Chu Xuan said, "We must find the Yellow-Skinned Ruins before the Demon Team."

"Right now, let's deal with the Dragon Emperor and the dark creatures."
