Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"Meow!" (If it's not gloomy, how could it be a temple of light?)

Li Xia found the three children's conversation amusing.

Suddenly, tiny green lights appeared all around, like fireflies in the summer grass. The three little ones immediately shut their mouths and watched the scene warily.

The points of light gathered before my eyes like sparks, but strangely, they did not illuminate the surrounding environment; they simply shone.

Then lines of text materialized before my eyes.

[Entering the World: Seeking the World of Light]

World Difficulty: D—S? (Normal—Hell?)

Global environment: 1.22 times standard gravity

Opportunity for transcendence: 0%

World Introduction:

Some say that light can bring everything, but I believe that darkness is the breeding ground for everything.

The First King of the Insect Hive Kingdom - Yedon

......

At first, it was absolute darkness, the world was silent, as if it had fallen into nothingness.

But the energy of life is surging, and the soul is quietly being conceived.

The fruit that fell from the sky rotted on the ground, and the first life crawled out from this decay.

From that moment on, the whole world came alive.

When the first spark of fire is born by chance before living beings, it is a miracle that surpasses everything.

It was a breathtaking light.

Under the pure black sky, creatures yearn for light, even though they have never seen real light, the seed of seeking light has already been sown.

The creatures established their kingdoms, and the world gradually became noisy, but the pursuit of light remained unchanged.

Occasionally, a ray of sunlight would be projected through a broken sky, and the creatures bathed in this sunlight would become noble, pure white spirits.

Thus, a harmonious nation ceases to be harmonious because of the presence of nobility.

War, slaughter, weeping, wailing...

After the smoke of war cleared, the whole world was devastated.

Traveler... listen...

Whose mournful song is carried on the wind?

Rusty bone nails lie buried beneath decaying leaves, and orange-red plague fumes seep from the cracks in the stones. The once bustling station that once connected the entire region is now just a silent station sign.

Moss climbs over the crumbling stone pillars, fungi thrive among the broken walls, only the wind howls through the ruins, telling of a forgotten past glory.

O traveler... may you find your home in this dark world.

Or perhaps it will be buried here forever.

[Special Energy: Shadow]

A type of intermediate life energy, one of the rare fundamental energy evolutions in the void.

Born from the body of a being nurtured by darkness, it can form a unique application method when mixed with will.

[Special Creature: The Lightbearer]

Creatures of darkness yearn for light, but when they are truly bathed in it, the intense light scorches their skin.

The body, originally scalded with blisters and stripped of its skin, revealed a deathly pale color, which was then called the Pure White Spirit.

The pure white spirit, however, also possessed a unique power because it was bathed in light.

This power is known as the power of light.

In reality, they are just containers.

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

[Executioner, since this trial world is governed by the beacon of darkness—a symbol of guidance—the main quest will be devised based on your current needs.]

【Notice! Notice! Notice! 】

The requirements must be achievable goals in the current world; requirements that are too simple or too difficult will affect the difficulty of the generated main quest.

[Failure to complete the main quest, once it has been drafted based on the requirements, will result in severe penalties!]

These things had been considered clearly before entering the trial.

Without any hesitation, Li Xia said decisively:

"Mission Objective: The Primal Tree!"

[Searching for mission objective: The Primal Tree...]

[Found a highly compatible target....]

[Main questline currently being drafted...]

[Draft completed!]

First Stage Main Quest: Deep Green Crystal

Mission objective: Proceed to the abandoned Ural mines and obtain Dark Green Crystals.

Quest Reward: Unlock the next stage of the main quest.

Task Difficulty: A+

Task deadline: 10 days

Mission failure penalty: 10 points deducted from all attributes, hidden rating reduced, and the Executioner will be permanently closed to the Seeking Light world!

The world—begins!

Chapter 1 Double Punishment! A Backup Plan!

The words formed by the light lingered in front of my eyes for a moment before drifting away.

The surroundings were plunged into boundless darkness once again.

Aowu took out several items that looked like sunglasses from his personal space and gave them to Li Xia and his second and third brothers.

Since we knew we were coming to the World of Seeking Light, how could we not prepare things in advance?

"The spectacles seller said that his glasses were unique in the world of light-seeking, and warned me that they could only be found in places where there was light itself."

Otherwise, don't light up in the dark; I suspect he's just trying to sell glasses.

This is true darkness, the kind without a single ray of light, and even this darkness itself seems quite peculiar.

Logically speaking, with Li Xia's current strength, he should be able to see very clearly even in complete darkness.

Of course, this only applies to the wild; the native inhabitants of the Seeker World still know how to use tools to create some faint light.

Li Xia put on sunglasses, and the world before him suddenly opened up. Compared to normal day and night, it was still very dark even with the special night vision goggles on. The whole world seemed to be covered with a dark tone, but it was countless times better than before when he couldn't see anything at all.

Before us was undoubtedly a place resembling a forest, but it was rather strange. The trees were either extremely thick or extremely thin, with tall trunks reaching straight into the sky. It was truly a mystery how those extremely thin trunks could support such tall canopies.

Apart from the tree trunks, there were clumps of plants that I had never seen before, resembling bushes.

Unlike the plants Li Xia had seen in other worlds, the plants here were not the most common green, but black and white, just like this world, silent and dark.

If you were to ask what the difference is between this place and the world that was previously sucked up by the Old Gods...

That might mean that this place is a more complete and real darkness, but within that darkness lies life.

"It's weirdly dark...like playing one of those dark-themed games, the color scheme isn't very comfortable."

Aowu also put on his glasses, looked around for a while, and muttered something.

"By the way, boss, why is there a question mark on the world difficulty this time?"

In the worlds I've experienced before, they were either full of question marks or clearly marked with the upper limit of the difficulty of the Hall of Fame predictions.

Moreover, the three little ones have traveled to so many worlds with Li Xia, and they already have a fairly clear understanding of the difficulties involved.

For the boss, the A-level difficulty, which would require ordinary apostles to survive at the cost of their lives, was no different from a vacation.

Level S is a little difficult, but not a big problem.

S+ level might be a bit tricky.

SS-level opponents are formidable, and there is also the risk of death.

As for SSS and SSS+, congratulations, at least there are things like the Old Gods waiting for you.

And this difficulty level is DS?

This question mark is quite ingenious; I've never seen it before.

Li Xia looked around and walked outside. Although there was no map or road signs, the trend of the surrounding trees was that the thinner trees were increasing in that direction, which, according to common sense, should be the edge of the area.

With my feet on the ground, the decaying matter and leaves felt soft to the touch, and every step felt like sinking in.

"It could be something hidden, meaning that you wouldn't encounter it during a normal trial, and even the native inhabitants of this world might not know that such a thing exists."

But it truly exists.

Li Xia suddenly stopped walking. Faint white light spots appeared around his body, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The moment these points of light appeared, the whole world changed. The once tranquil forest was filled with rustling sounds, as if people were whispering to each other, and an undisguised greed for light surged toward them like a tide.

Li Xia's face suddenly darkened as he looked at the notification in front of him:

[Executioner, you have received the buff from Spiritual Prayer - Blessed by Light, your mana regeneration has increased by 10 points.]

Do you wish to refuse this protection?

Refuse!

The surrounding light suddenly dissipated, but the hidden creatures had already awakened. They awoke from their slumber, and with a morbid thirst for light, they hissed and charged toward Li Xia.

This is... a swarm of insects!

"Crack!"

Dark red lightning gathered around, and a vortex first appeared beneath Li Xia's feet, engulfing the withered branches and rotten leaves on the ground.

Then, like an explosion, it transformed into a massive storm that spread outwards.

In an instant, branches and leaves flew everywhere, and the shockwave overturned the decaying leaves in every place it swept over, revealing the dark soil layer underneath.

"bang bang bang"

The insects affected by the shockwave screamed and hissed. Their soft abdomens, encased in their shells, swelled up like balloons and then exploded. Blue-green fluid flew everywhere, leaving only the sturdy shells rolling around.

In just a short time, the entire forest fell silent again.

The Conqueror's Haki amplified by the divine power of a demigod is truly domineering, no longer merely stunning or intimidating as before.

It actually possesses lethality, capable of instantly killing weaker creatures.

The three little ones who witnessed all of this also became serious. The sudden appearance of the light spot and Li Xia's suddenly gloomy face both indicated that the appearance of the light spot was not simple.

"Garbage collector?"

"Ah."

Li Xia brought up the control panel and communicated with the Hall of Light.

[The executioner's request has been received and is currently being verified...]

[Upon verification, the Apostle No. 78333912's "Heartfelt Prayer - Favor of Light" was found to be malicious.]

[In accordance with the Executioner Protection Ordinance and the Reserve Service Substitute Standard Treatment Law, Apostle No. 78333912 shall be punished, and the traceability of his long-range protection activities shall be blocked.]

In the world of Seeking Light, a man in a white suit leaned against a tree trunk and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. The apostle sitting cross-legged on the ground beside him trembled violently and suddenly spat out blood.
