The ruined palace is dying, waiting for the master who can restore it to glory.

Li Xia becomes an apostle of the Transcendence Hall, but discovers that he is the only employee of this dying hall.

In order to become stronger and rebuild the palace, he must infiltrate other palaces to carry out missions.

This is an infinite flow story.

Infinity Begins from Undercover in Other Spaces

"I'm already the boss, why do I have to go undercover?"

Chapter 1 Palace

Pain. Intense pain surged from every corner of my body.

The wailing of police sirens seemed to still linger in my ears, mingling with the terrified screams of pedestrians, creating an exceptionally noisy scene.

The scene before my eyes was tinged with a thin layer of blood.

Li Xia suddenly opened her eyes, sat up as if electrocuted, and gasped for breath.

The pain, the sounds, and the blood seemed as if they had never occurred.

An illusion? Or a nightmare?

Li Xia paused, looked down at her hands, and something seemed amiss.

I remember I was on my way home from get off work, but where am I?

Thick fog surrounded them, and everything except their clothes had vanished.

Slowly, memories from before he fell into a coma began to surface.

The dump truck roared toward him, finally missing him and crashing into a small roadside restaurant.

It was just another accident.

Wait, why did I say that again?

Li Xia rubbed her cheeks, a hint of confusion on her face.

More memories came flooding back.

The elevator plummeted, the billboard crashed down. Each time, I miraculously escaped.

I remember now. Because I survived so many accidents, I was thinking of buying some paper villas and mansions to burn for my ancestors.

After all, he had never been lucky growing up, and apart from his great-grandparents sending greetings from below, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

But how did I get here?

The fog that shrouded my memories quietly dissipated.

The dump truck emitted wisps of smoke, and the ground was littered with shards of glass and bricks. The onlookers all raised their phones as if they were performing some kind of mysterious religious ritual.

The siren grew louder as a black Mercedes sped towards them, blocking their path.

The car window rolled down, revealing a woman with a beautiful face filled with madness and despair. She raised a pistol at herself.

gun?

I was shot and died?! So this is the underworld?

Who is this woman? Why did she want to kill me? And she went so far as to openly fire a gun in the heart of downtown Nanjing.

What kind of people would an ordinary, single office worker who has only been working for two years and whose only hobby is playing games and writing strategy guides attract?

Before Li Xia could figure it out, the memories kept flooding back.

Time seemed to freeze the moment the woman fired the gun; the leaking gas from the small restaurant had finally reached its critical point.

Amidst the deafening explosion, I was thrown into the air.

Endless white light bloomed before his eyes, and Li Xia felt that some memories that did not belong to him had suddenly appeared in his mind.

"The Land of Transcendence, the Palace?"

As if a switch had been triggered, the surrounding mist boiled and surged, dispersing in all directions.

[You are now a prospective apostle. You will participate in the Hall Trials. Upon completion of the trials, you will become a full-fledged apostle.]

[Due to the use of the special item 'Prospective Apostle Certificate', this trial cannot be refused, and a rating of 'Good' or higher is required.]

Li Xia did not answer, but silently observed the additional memories appearing in her mind.

A certificate for a reserve apostle? What is this?

No matter how hard Li Xia tried to recall, she couldn't remember ever using this thing, so she could only put her doubts aside.

He had a vague premonition that the woman's reason for killing him was very likely related to this so-called 'Reserve Apostle Certificate'.

The palace is very similar to the infinite flow novels I've read; it requires apostles to travel between different worlds, complete tasks, and obtain rewards.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Xia asked the question that concerned her most, and that was also the most crucial question.

Why does the temple need apostles?

This issue caused a huge reaction from the [Hall of Fame].

The surrounding fog surged wildly, and Li Xia thought for a moment that the hall would not answer his question.

Each world has its own predetermined timeline. Making changes at key points in the timeline, or participating in them, will grant one the opportunity for transcendence.

Changes in the world line can also bring enormous dangers and backlashes, and only a select few can participate in them.

The apostles are all special individuals; the temple needs an opportunity for transcendence.

Li Xia understood; wasn't this just about companies and their employees?

My unease subsided considerably.

Sometimes a simple 'employment relationship' is simpler and more reassuring.

[Question answered. Prospective Apostle, the trial is about to begin. Please prepare yourself.]

Li Xia took a deep breath and stood up.

The trial could not be refused. Although the hall did not say what the consequences of refusal would be, Li Xia already had a vague guess in his heart.

That is death.

Besides, why should we refuse?

A subtle excitement quietly spread through my chest, and my body trembled slightly.

He used to enjoy traveling, seeing different scenery, and trying new things.

But now that my parents are gone and lying in a cold jar, I no longer like them.

The departure of a loved one is not a torrential rain, but a lifetime of dampness.

Those familiar aspects of life always unexpectedly trigger memories, so he stays at home playing games.

It seems that only by escaping into a diverse and magnificent world can one avoid recalling the past.

Living like this is actually quite meaningless, isn't it?

"I accept the trial!"

The fog surged and billowed, the white mist stretching as far as the eye could see like an ocean, stirring up a raging storm.

A large amount of text refreshed in front of my eyes.

To make it easier for the apostles to understand, the description of the temple has been changed to a format familiar to them.

This trial is a projection of teaching and assessment time and space; participation is solo and will not have any impact on reality.

[Through the trials, you will learn the fundamentals, become familiar with the world, and undertake a complete world intervention.]

This trial will assess the Apostles' comprehensive abilities.

To help apostles better understand their own situation, data will be quantified and displayed based on your individual circumstances.

The display method is the interface most familiar to your subconscious.

【Notice! Notice! Notice! 】

This method is merely an auxiliary function and does not constitute a transformation of the body into data!

[Transmission begins! 】

Feeling as if I had a hangover, my vision blurred and doubled.

The humid air carried a pungent, fishy odor that made one want to vomit.

This teleportation is really addictive!

Li Xia rubbed his temples, and the first thing that came into clear view was the two red and blue bars in the lower left corner.

It was indeed something most familiar to my subconscious.

His vision gradually cleared, but the scene before him immediately made his heart leap into his throat.

It was a small room with a small iron pot hanging in the center, and the fire had long since gone out.

Several corpses lay scattered on the ground, their mouths open, their pale faces still showing traces of fear.

It seems he saw something extremely terrifying before he died.

The internal organs and intestines were tangled together, flowing out of the abdominal cavity through the torn wound and soaking in a pool of blood.

Li Xia suppressed her urge to vomit and her inner fear, holding her breath as she struggled to get up.

The blood meandered and flowed, suddenly emitting a dazzling red light, forming strange yet clear characters on the ground.
