Uchiha Walking Through the Infinite
[Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to... truly live?]
Cold. Trembling.
Fang Xiu abruptly opened his eyes.
The eerie whisper by his ear vanished.
Then he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
He seemed to be in a primitive wooden hut.
—So where the hell was this?
—Damn that treacherous Uchiha Itachi! Who arranged this transmigration? I'd barely arrived, and it was already the night of the massacre!
He thought back.
Memories flowed through his mind.
A hapless fellow who'd been hit by a truck and transmigrated to the Naruto World without a system, Fang Xiu had arrived in the Uchiha Clan Compound.
But after he'd barely begun absorbing fragments of his memories, before he could even indulge in a few fantasies, his throat had been slit. He'd been out of the game in record time!
He hadn't even gotten the slightest chance to take part in the plot.
Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi's blade had been quick, sparing him any pain before he died.
So... had he transmigrated again...
Who had that voice come from just now?
"Damn it, where the hell have you dumped me this time? Is this even still the Naruto World?"
His questions kept piling up, but he was a veteran who'd already transmigrated once. He forced down his unease, stopping his thoughts from spiraling endlessly.
Meanwhile,
all kinds of sounds came from nearby. Some people whispered, others cried out in alarm. The voices belonged to the old and the young, men and women alike.
Clearly, he wasn't the only one who'd woken up in this unfamiliar place.
A mass kidnapping... truly living... the meaning of life...
Fang Xiu sat on the floor in practical ninja attire, calmly assessing the situation. Then he froze as a familiar feeling grew stronger and stronger within him.
The answer was right on the tip of his tongue.
He was just one step away.
Then he looked down and abruptly noticed a strange watch on his right wrist.
Its screen was large, but it didn't show the time. Instead, several lines of tiny text appeared on it—
[Alien vs. Predator Universe]
[Location: Antarctica, abandoned whaling station]
[Main Mission: Leave the Trial Grounds alive]
[Reward: Each participant receives one C-rank side-story and 2,000 reward points]
The Main God Space?! At last, Fang Xiu understood why the place felt so familiar.
After all, he'd encountered the original series as well as its spin-offs—Nightmare Space, Bloody City, and others—in infinite-flow novels.
"Holy shit!"
"We're trapped!"
As his thoughts raced, a white young man had already reached the door. He shakily reached out, groping at the air in front of him.
As he moved, Fang Xiu clearly saw a blurry outline emerge in the air. It seemed some kind of bowl-shaped barrier had trapped all eight of them inside the room!
That was right: including Fang Xiu, there were eight Reincarnators.
Five men and three women.
Two Black, three white, and three Asian.
"My phone has no signal."
"Aliens! We must've been abducted by aliens!"
"Why does the UFO look like this?"
"No, it's a hallucination! A hallucination! It's all fake! Hahahaha! I'm already dead! And I don't even understand English, so how can I understand what you're saying?"
The wooden hut was in chaos. A middle-aged woman screamed, a middle-aged man wailed, and a young guy pulled out his phone to record. Before long, the whole place had descended into disorder.
Only Fang Xiu, who had some idea what was going on, stayed calm. He quickly scanned everyone present and silently made a basic assessment—
I've most likely arrived at the founding stage of a Reincarnator team.
No matter how he looked at them, none of these people seemed like a hidden powerhouse worth clinging to. Nor was there any so-called guide.
Besides, I've inherited the body of the Uchiha Clan and the memory fragments for using ninjutsu. I can easily overpower ordinary people. I have to try to take the initiative and secure authority, like becoming the team captain.
That's the only way to improve my odds of surviving longer in this brutal environment!
So...
"Main God."
He focused and called out inwardly.
In an instant, a jumble of knowledge that didn't belong to him appeared in Fang Xiu's mind, all of it related to life and survival...
His situation became clearer and clearer.
Now it was time to get things done and earn his first pot of gold.
By conventional wisdom, explaining things to newcomers was always a reliable and safe source of income.
"Everyone, quiet down."
Fang Xiu's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. He raised his voice slightly to make sure everyone in the hut could hear him. "Think carefully. What exactly happened to you before you came to this world?"
"Something must have triggered it for you to receive this special treatment."
He kept it vague, without mentioning the classic pop-up window—[Yes or No]—because he didn't know what form of Main God he'd encountered.
"I've been diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer. When the doctor asked if I wanted hospice care, a voice suddenly spoke by my ear, asking whether I wanted to understand the meaning of life."
The room fell quiet for a moment. Then a sickly-looking woman, tall and thin with arms covered in needle marks, was the first to answer.
"Congratulations. If you survive your first trial, you'll find that illness isn't nearly as terrifying as you thought."
Fang Xiu nodded, his tone easing.
"Ah, I was speeding around a bend when I went through the guardrail and plunged off a cliff. That voice suddenly appeared then."
"About the same."
One response after another followed.
Good. None of these newcomers seemed like the kind of brain-dead idiots who couldn't listen to a word and would fly into a rage at the drop of a hat.
Just as Fang Xiu was thinking this, the bowl-shaped light barrier flickered, and a countdown appeared: 10:00 09:59...
He glanced at it, then looked away. Certain he'd transmigrated into an infinite-world setting for the second time, Fang Xiu wore a solemn expression as he said bluntly, "It seems we've reached a consensus. We're all people who were destined to die, and now the Main God has given us a chance to live again."
"Now, keep thinking it through. Call the Main God's name in your mind. It left information deep within your thoughts."
The key phrase had triggered the effect.
The newcomers began absorbing unfamiliar memories, and the foolish look in their eyes faded.
At the same moment, as soon as Fang Xiu finished speaking, he heard the Main God's notification in his mind.
[Mission Complete—Newcomer Briefing. Received 500 reward points.]
The plan had worked. He'd gotten the hidden benefit for veterans who briefed newcomers.
But... five hundred? What a generous sum.
It probably wasn't the Kai Shan Guai type. It belonged to some other variety. Never mind... it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At least he wouldn't have to deal with Brother Jie.
As everyone knew, the waters of the Zhongzhou Team ran deep.
"An infinite reincarnation world?"
The tall, thin woman who'd been the first to answer Fang Xiu spoke again, murmuring as she recited what she'd learned: "A great being known as the [Main God] has rewritten our fate, pulled us from our original worlds, and cast us into an infinite number of movie, novel, anime, and game worlds. There, we'll face one trial after another and cross through one cycle of life and death after another."
"As for the watches on our wrists, they'll update the missions in real time and guide our actions."
"Exactly." Fang Xiu raised his wrist. "The main mission is mandatory. Side missions depend on everyone's ability and luck."
"Right now, our main mission is to survive the Iron-Blooded Trial and make it back to the safe zone provided by the Main God. There, everyone will receive their due rewards and time to rest, until the next assignment arrives."
