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

Chapter 170 concludes; the truth about the Main God Space.
Ten thousand meters above the ground, inside a space shrouded in darkness.

Both Izanagi and Su Bai sensed the outcome of Chu Xuan's battle with the Dragon Emperor.

Chu Xuan won with an unbelievable and overwhelming victory.

This left Izanagi stunned. Was Chu Xuan really that strong? Was he the real big boss?
That's the Dragon Emperor, whose peak strength far surpasses its own.

Even though their strength has been weakened by being outmaneuvered, they shouldn't be so easily defeated.

Izanagi felt a surge of panic.

It only breathed a sigh of relief after it saw Chu Xuan join the others in the battle and not display such superhuman combat power.

“Natural enemy, restraint.” Izanagi realized the reason.

Moreover, to its relief, with the death of the Dragon Emperor, the tens of thousands of terracotta warriors that had fought against his army of 100,000 dark creatures also weathered into tiny grains of sand on the mountainside, drifting away with the wind and merging into the air, leaving no trace of their existence.

This freed up its army of 100,000 dark creatures, allowing it to make up for its manpower shortage.

"I'll kill you!" Izanagi stared intently at the half-dragon vampire 'Su Bai' in front of it.

Regardless, the battlefield below lacks top-tier combat power, so it needs to eliminate Su Bai as soon as possible and participate in the battle below.

"Die!"

The three Izanagi moved swiftly, forming three points that surrounded Su Bai in the middle.

Then, they began chanting incantations, each pushing forward with both hands, shooting out a jet-black, sword-shaped beam of light.

"Ten-Bundle Sword - Divine Might Splits Soul".

This is the ultimate ability that Izanagi, as the king of dark creatures, received from the initiation of the sun disk.

The three sword-shaped beams each possessed attack power approaching that of a mid-level fourth tier.

Su Bai, located at the center, is surrounded by sixteen shields in two layers, one inside the other.

With the aid of telekinesis, it forms a powerful defensive force.

Three black, sword-shaped beams of light struck Su Bai's shield, producing a loud sound. It was also clearly visible that the shields surrounding Su Bai were compressed inwards.

They can't hold out for long.

Su Bai, located at the center, was working very fast; the blood nuclei in his brain seemed to be overheating and loading.

He was making final preparations for sharpening his sword, and his mental energy was highly concentrated.

The second-stage gene lock... is activated for the first time!
As early as when he entered the 'World of Gods and Demons' to rack up points, Su Bai had already been injected with the 'Dragon Blood Modification Reagent' developed by Chu Xuan, putting him in a state where he could easily unlock the second stage of his gene lock.

The past month of practice and intense concentration have aligned with the state and requirements for this new practice.

The key to unlocking the genetic potential lies in a high degree of mental concentration, not in a life-or-death crisis.

It's just that life-or-death crises make people more focused.

At this final moment, Su Bai met the requirements, and the second stage of the gene lock was activated!
The activation of the second-stage gene lock further amplified Su Bai's power both internally and externally.

The Realm of the Void Core describes the ability to control everything within the body using the 'Void Core'.

The activation of the second-stage gene lock grants a higher level of control over the physical body, energy, blood vessels, nerves, and so on.

This propelled Su Bai to the perfect 'Virtual Core' realm in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, his process of integrating his soul into the Demon Sword Yuan was also propelled by the opening of the second-tier gene lock, and he finally succeeded.

Su Bai's cultivation has officially come to an end!

……

"Die!" Izanagi, who was surrounding Su Bai in a triangular formation, was still trying to maintain three black sword-shaped beams of light, wanting to kill Su Bai in one fell swoop.

Su Bai remained calm and silent, unleashing his personal version of the sword technique he had mastered: 'Refining Sword into Silk'.

His dark red flying sword hovered in mid-air, and the next moment, strands of black sword energy, about the thickness of a finger, were released.

Then more and more, densely packed, until the entire venue was filled with black stockings.

The total number reached as many as 30,000.

Each wisp of black sword energy possesses nuclear fusion-level power and 'critical strike sword intent'.

Anyone who is injured by even a single strand of black sword energy could die instantly.

Only Su Bai's location remained unaffected.

Black silk sword energy swirled wildly across the area, creating an absolute killing force within it.

Izanagi's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "I am immortal! I will not die!"

In the end, its figure was engulfed by countless black silk sword energies.

A moment later, the black silk sword energy that filled the arena vanished without a trace, and the dark domain located ten thousand meters above the ground also disappeared, becoming bright and clear.

Sunlight shone down and fell on Su Bai, who was in his half-dragon vampire form. Su Bai spread his dragon wings and hovered in mid-air, using telekinesis to sense his surroundings.

He alone could neither see Izanagi nor sense any other living being.

Under the burst of black silk sword energy, Izanagi was reduced to nothing, let alone be able to revive.

Regardless of Izanagi's resurrection principle, it was only at the initial stage of the fourth rank. When it was reduced to nothing, it was destined never to come back to life.

[Slay the King of Dark Creatures to obtain one Rank B side quest and 6000 reward points.]

Izanagi was the king of the dark creatures, and his death signified their defeat.

Su Bai looked down.

Below, atop Mount Fuji, Zheng Zha, possessing initial fourth-tier combat strength, wielded the Golden Phoenix Axe and, together with Imhotep, slew the masked woman 'Izanami'.

Zheng Zha, who also unlocked the second stage of his gene lock, performed exceptionally well in this battle.

At this point, the dark creature's only two fourth-tier combatants were eliminated.

Rumble!
A sudden roar echoed from inside Mount Fuji, and the mountain began to shake, as the accumulated pressure within threatened to unleash magma.

"Get out of here!" Zheng Zha shouted, raising his head and placing the Golden Phoenix Axe to the side. He pounded his chest with both hands, his voice roaring like a tiger's howl.

Then, he changed his fist to a palm and pressed it on his chest. Black liquid metal immediately crawled out from his chest, and a pair of black steel wings appeared on his back, shimmering with a cold, glassy light in the sunlight.

He was in the form of a ten-meter-tall Hulk, and the Black God Armor could not cover his entire body, only covering a few vital points and forming a pair of steel wings on his back.

With the assistance of artificial intelligence, Zheng Zha put away the Golden Phoenix Axe and flew into the sky.

The legendary mage Imhotep spun around, turning into yellow sand, and soared into the sky.

At this moment, the other members of the Zhongzhou team, such as Chu Xuan, Zhang Jie, Ba Wang, and Ling Dian, activated the flight mode of the Black God Armor and flew from the mountaintop into the sky.

Not only them, but also some flying dark creatures quickly took flight as well.

The entire surface of Mount Fuji became incredibly hot and began to shake more and more violently—signs of an impending eruption.

boom!
Click!

Finally, the entire mountain exploded, spewing out countless streams of fiery red lava that bloomed and blossomed in all directions like flowers.

This was an indiscriminate attack, not biased towards any particular direction, but rather centered on Mount Fuji, spraying outwards to form a deadly, fiery red flower.

In addition, a large amount of magma flowed out from the cracked mountain, and the tens of thousands of dark creatures that were fleeing on the mountain surface were gradually submerged in the spreading fiery magma.

And the lava-covered mountain formed the stem of the deadly flower.

This disaster will not only affect Mount Fuji, but will quickly spread to the entire island nation, wiping out all life.

The members of the Zhongzhou team reunited with Su Bai at an altitude of 10,000 meters, with Chu Xuan carrying the seriously injured Zi Yuan on his back.

It's also very unsafe here. The volcano is constantly erupting, and even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it can be affected. They need to leave the island nation.

"Where is Xiao Honglu?" Zheng Zha's gaze swept over everyone. Of the 11 members of the Central Continent Team, only 10 were here.

Xiao Honglu did not participate in this battle. He was a necromancer, and from the beginning, he was only responsible for finding a place to hide, absorbing death energy, and condensing his own energy cycle.

Zhan Lan immediately released her mental energy to scan in a straight line.

The longest diameter of the entire island nation is about 1300 kilometers, and Zhan Lan's current mental scanning range can reach 1240 kilometers in a straight line.

Zhan Lan did not stand on the edge of the island nation, but on the summit of Mount Fuji.

Therefore, with Zhan Lan as the center, all such small countries could be swept away.

"I saw it. Xiao Honglu walked out of a cave in a daze. He activated the Black God Armor and took flight."

“I have informed him, and he is on his way here,” Zhan Lan said.

Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief; the entire Zhongzhou team was safe and sound.

Su Bai said, "This place is not suitable to stay for the time being, Chu Xuan. Is it possible to leave here without breaking the energy wall?"

Chu Xuan remained calm. "I couldn't do it before, but now that I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage and mastered the 'Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Rune Calculation Method,' I have a 60% chance of succeeding."

"Sixty percent...that's more than enough." Su Bai said, "Everyone, head east and leave this place from the east side. Zhan Lan, inform Xiao Honglu and have him plan the route."

Zhan Lan said, "Understood."

Everyone flew eastward and soon arrived at the energy wall.

This energy wall, which has remained closed for so long, imprisoning dark creatures on the island, is the work of ancient sorcerers.

Chu Xuan flew to the energy wall and seemed to sense the approach of a living being. The translucent energy wall lit up with a blue-white light, and there were obvious energy flow patterns.

Reaching out, Chu Xuan placed his hand on the energy wall. He activated the core runes of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in his mind to analyze the energy wall and construct corresponding rune combinations to break it.

Two minutes later, a hole suddenly appeared on the energy wall where Chu Xuan's hand had been pressing. The hole slowly expanded until it stopped when it was about the size of a person.

Chu Xuan was the first to enter the cave, leaving the island's boundaries and appearing in the outside world.

Seeing this, the others left one by one, and Zheng Zha transformed back into human form and easily slipped out.

Xiao Honglu arrived late but managed to catch up without incident and crawled through the hole.

Chu Xuan approached the energy wall and placed his hand on it again, causing the hole, about the size of a person, to slowly close.

The entire island nation remains trapped in a cage.

The team consists of 11 members from the Middle Continent, plus the story characters Shion and Imhotep, making a total of 13 people.

They looked down through the energy wall at the eruption of the volcano below, a scene of human tragedy.

Because of the existence of the energy wall, neither the disasters nor the creatures inside can escape.

……

With the Dragon Emperor and the dark creatures' affair concluded, everyone not only received side quests and reward points, but their strength and realm also improved to a higher level.

They also received three story items.

The Golden Vampire Mask, the Fountain of Youth, and the Dragon-Slaying Dagger.

And now, it has been less than two months since they descended into the 'world of gods and demons'.

They have 40 to 50 days left to redeem their 100-day event.

……

"What do we do next?" Zhan Lan asked.

Xiao Honglu raised his hand. "Captain, I want to stay here. I want to wait until the disaster is over and it's suitable for survival before I go back inside to continue my cultivation." After this wave, the remaining millions of dark creatures on the island will probably all die. Their deaths will emit death energy, which will accumulate to a considerable amount.

For necromancer Xiao Honglu, it was a feast.

“Okay.” Su Bai’s face was a little pale, a side effect of activating the second stage of the gene lock for the first time. He nodded and looked at Chu Xuan, “Does Chu Xuan have a way to leave behind a method to automatically open and close the energy wall?”

As Chu Xuan pondered, a black streak of light shot from afar and hovered in front of him; it was a small black flag.

It was the Supreme Banner that Chu Xuan had previously left in the Dragon Emperor's headquarters to steal the Fountain of Immortality.

The main soul, Li Shuaixi, wrapped in the Supreme Banner, returned to Chu Xuan's side.

"Master, I did it! All the Fountain of Immortality is in the storage ring, not a drop is missing!" Li Shuaixi's slightly obsequious voice came from the Soul Banner.

"Hmm." Chu Xuan put away the storage ring hanging on the soul banner.

He replied, “Yes, I can place the activation and deactivation spells within the Soul Banner. Xiao Honglu can hold the Soul Banner, wave the banner, activate the spell, and then freely enter and exit.”

"However, the spell has no root and resides in the soul banner, so it can only be used three times."

"Xiao Honglu, you must make good use of your chances. If you haven't come out after using up all three chances, then you won't be able to get out."

Xiao Honglu nodded excitedly, "Three chances...that's enough for me."

Chu Xuan began to set up a spell within the soul banner.

Zheng Zha felt a wave of weakness within him. Even though he had the bloodline of the A-level Hulk, the aftereffects of unlocking the second stage of his genetic lock could not be completely eliminated.

"I will return to the bearded Egyptian. I have just completed my foundation building, and my self-developed skill 'Explosion' also needs to be consolidated."

Zheng Zha was very excited, grabbed Zhang Jie's neck, and his eyes shone with excitement.

He has officially reached the fourth-tier initial combat strength, which matches his positioning of the Zhongzhou team's 'strength'. He has caught up with Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie curled his lip, glanced at Zheng Zha, and said, "I'm with Lao Zheng. I'm also studying the use of telekinesis, and it looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson."

In fact, he was researching how to transform psychokinesis into a rudimentary form of mental light.

Ba Wang, Mou Gang, Ling Dian, Zhao Ying Kong, Ming Yan Wei, and others will all stay with the bearded man in Egypt to train, consolidate their combat strength, and make final preparations.

Imhotep, lifted up by the yellow sand, was in an awkward position. What was he going to do next? Die again?

The entire Zhongzhou team is here; he can't escape even if he wants to.

“Imhotep.” Su Bai looked at Imhotep coldly, “Help us with our work, and we’ll spare your life.”

At this point, Su Bai glanced at Xiao Honglu. Xiao Honglu was very clever; he immediately took out the 'Dark Necromancer Bible' from his storage ring.

Imhotep's eyes widened when he saw the 'Dark Dead Bible'.

This is the necessary item to resurrect his deceased girlfriend, 'Ansuna'.

“Good job. Next time you see us, we will help you revive Ansuona,” Su Bai said.

Imhotep replied without hesitation, "Okay!"

His purpose in becoming a 'legendary mage' and returning to the world was primarily to resurrect his girlfriend 'Ansuna'.

His personal desires, such as 'ruling the world' and 'becoming the strongest in the world,' can be ranked later or even disregarded.

He could also see that the Central Continent Team was very strong and mysterious, so it would be good to work for them.

Subduing Imhotep was part of Su Bai's pre-arranged plan. The 'Yellow-Skinned Ruins' in the Legend of the Gods and Demons was too important; they had to find it before the Demon Team.

However, this is something that can only be obtained by chance, and our hopes still rest on the male and female protagonists and the female protagonist's brother in the original story.

The 'Yellow-Skinned Ruins' is extremely dangerous. After the male and female protagonists and the female protagonist's brother trigger the 'Yellow-Skinned Ruins', they will be hunted down by the Yellow Turban Warriors.

Imhotep's existence will ensure the survival of the male and female protagonists and the female protagonist's brother until their return.

Otherwise, if the male and female protagonists and the female protagonist's brother were killed after triggering the 'Yellow-Skinned Ruins' because no one helped them, thus cutting off the clues to the 'Yellow-Skinned Ruins', then things would get really messed up.

The arrangements were basically made. Except for Xiao Honglu, everyone else temporarily returned to the bearded man in Egypt.

Su Bai, Chu Xuan, and Zhan Lan, however, had other plans.

They contacted the male and female protagonists, O'Connor and Eve, as well as the female protagonist's brother, Jonathan, and learned that the golden vampire mask came from an ancient Mayan ruin.

So, Su Bai, Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, O'Connor, Eve, Jonathan, and the character 'Zi Yuan' from the story, a total of 7 people, went to explore the ancient Mayan civilization ruins.

……

Su Bai, Chu Xuan, and Zhan Lan can all fly, while Imhotep transforms into the yellow sand and is responsible for carrying O'Connor and the others.

Following the instructions of the female protagonist's brother, Jonathan, they flew off.

"The ancient Mayan civilization ruins were originally deep in the jungle. The last earthquake shook out the canyon."

"The villagers outside discovered the golden staircase leading directly to the pyramid, which is why it was discovered," Jonathan explained to everyone.

The group quickly arrived at the village and saw corpses scattered all over the ground.

Because of the death of the man in the golden mask, the villagers who had become blood slaves also died one after another.

After cremating the body, the group entered the pyramid outside the village, which had been mostly excavated.

Inside the pyramid, it is not dark; the stones on the walls glow, illuminating everything.

Jonathan exclaimed excitedly, "Gold! I'm looking for gold!"

He always had a great interest in gold.

Eve and Aster have become fervent as they decipher the ancient Mayan script carved on the pyramids.

Both women possess a strong talent for language analysis, which is why I brought them along.

Imhotep, as an ancient high priest, was very familiar with the pyramids and could play a significant role.

The search began inside the pyramid.

Chu Xuan discovered mysterious symbols on the steps leading to the altar.

This is not writing, but runic technology.

This is where his strengths lie.

"Energy conversion runes..." Chu Xuan immediately wrote them down, preparing to study them later.

Imhotep deciphered the texts of ancient Mayan ruins faster than Eve and Aster.

He recognized the rooms as storage rooms, energy conversion rooms, control rooms, and so on.

“These characters are very similar to the symbols and characters in the Dark Dead Bible and the Golden Sun Bible, and they come from the same source.”

“I am a legendary mage with extensive knowledge in this area, which is why I was able to analyze it,” Imhotep explained.

While he may not possess Eve and Shion's exceptional literary talent, he has a wealth of knowledge and is also a handsome bald man.

No wonder this guy was able to seduce Pharaoh's beloved concubine, Anshuna, and be favored by her.

After a series of actions, everyone entered the central control room.

Here, he saw a large number of symbols and words, which Imhotep stared at for a long time before reading them aloud.

"...When the saints died after their thousands of years of life, those who inherited their wisdom and a small part of their power began to disperse to various continents and eventually ruled the whole world."

"After that, at least one ancient civilization existed on each continent."

“Every ancient civilization leaves behind a message, without competing with other ancient civilizations.”

"But who knows how many years later, someone will eventually ignore the ancestral teachings."

"...The ancient civilization of Central Continent was called 'Immortals'."

"...The ancient civilization of Babylon was ultimately destroyed because of the constant battles between the advanced life forms created by the two 'saints'."

"Those two advanced life forms are called 'Demon' and 'Angel'."

"In Egypt..."

"Finally, we are the recorders of history, documenting the most authentic history..."

After Imhotep finished reading, everyone fell silent.

This passage reveals the secret of the 'Legend of Gods and Demons': long ago, there were immortals and saints in this world.

Then, as the first batch of immortals and saints died, each generation became weaker than the last. By the time of the ancient civilization, they had scattered to various continents, leaving behind their own traditions and living in harmony with the other continents.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. "There's a problem. Haven't you noticed? This part of history isn't just about the history of the world of gods and ghosts."

Zhan Lan's mind worked quickly, and she said, "Myths and legends of the real world?"

Chu Xuan nodded, drawing everyone's attention. "Each continent has an ancient civilization, all originating from the same source."

"This precisely explains why different countries in the real world have their own myths and legends, and they all happen to describe the same thing."

"For example, our story of Yu the Great taming the floods, and the Western story of Noah's Ark."

"They were all talking about the great flood."

Zhan Lan exclaimed, "Could this be referring to... the ancient history of the time when there were immortals and saints?"

Chu Xuan said, "There are multiple worlds, such as our real world, and the world of horror movies we experience."

"Under the arrangement of God, we enter a horror movie to struggle for survival."

"I can predict that when we reach the advanced fourth tier, the main god's control over us will be greatly reduced, and we will be able to do many things that the main god cannot control."

"The immortals and saints mentioned in this text are at a higher level than the fourth rank. I think they may have the power to cross worlds."

"The histories of different worlds are similar. The history in the legends of gods and ghosts may be the history of the real world, or it may be the history of other worlds."

"Therefore, the history described in this text can be applied to any world."

Chu Xuan continued, "I believe that the Main God Space is a creation of immortals and saints."

"Only they could possess such power."

"The purpose of the Main God Space is not, as you previously guessed, a game of gods watching us fight for amusement."

"I am fifty percent certain that the purpose of the Main God Space is to cultivate new immortals or saints."

Su Bai silently gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up. This guy is indeed Chu Xuan. He was able to deduce the creator and purpose of the Main God Space from just a few words in the Legend of Gods and Demons world.

In the original storyline of 'Infinite Terror', the Main God Space was indeed created by cultivators and the Saint Group, and this was indeed one of the purposes of the Main God Space.

It is meant to cultivate strong individuals to deal with the common enemy of cultivators and saints, not for amusement.

Even in subsequent patches, the purpose of the Main God Space was to cultivate powerful individuals in order to fight against the Primordial Heavenly Court.

The Main God Space and the Primordial Heavenly Court are mortal enemies.

The reason why the histories of different worlds are so similar is entirely a matter of world structure.

The multiverse has unique states, standard states, deflected states, pseudo-states, and so on.

All worlds share the same 'script,' so world history will naturally be very similar.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. "I have another guess."
