Su Xiao opened the mission list, and the contents of the fourth stage of the Main Quest appeared before him.
Main Quest: Search (Fourth Stage)
Difficulty Level: Lv.78
Mission Description: Find the Insect of Extremity.
Mission Duration: 10 natural days.
Mission Reward: Tier Eight Deep Recovery Authority (one use).
Mission Punishment: Forced execution.
Even Su Xiao found the mission troublesome. The situation on the Western Continent, the indication that S-001 had become ineffective, and the fourth stage of the Main Quest all pointed to one truth: the Insect of Extremity was still alive, hiding somewhere in the world.

Suppose someone used S-001 to alter their own future, arranging to encounter the Insect of Extremity one day later. Given the Insect of Extremity's strength, the price required would be devastating.
But what if they compromised? First, suppose the Insect of Extremity was acting
