"Disappointed!" Zheng Yichen dismissed the news projection screen and focused on eating.
"Boss, it’s not that there aren’t any ruthless bandits you want to find, but most of them have already been killed."
After Zheng Yichen had eaten for a while, Lilith brought out another projection screen, showing the specific reasons. After looking at it, Zheng Yichen understood what was going on.
The Dusk rcenaries haven’t left this world yet, after all, the level of the environnt in this world is high enough. Plus, after the battle at Ancient Immortal Mountain, the Unified Imperial Dynasty chose to compromise, giving the Dusk rcenaries quite favorable treatnt.
For such treatnt, the Dusk rcenaries accepted it with ease of mind, considering it the compensation that the Unified Imperial Dynasty should provide.
Of course, compared to such treatnt, what they value more is the resources they can acquire in this world.
The Proxy Agent who ca here to solve the problem, that is, Zheng Yichen, is not soone who likes to burn, kill, and loot, so the local Dusk rcenaries were restrained by their respective organizations.
Their operational style is based on the style of the Proxy Agent. Although the Proxy Agent and they don’t have much interaction, there is really no need to offend the Proxy Agent; leaving a good impression is a must.
Thus, the Dusk rcenaries still here have set their sights on those demonic sects and heretics. If any of them refuse to reform and dare to show themselves, powerful Dusk rcenaries would imdiately move to tackle them, without needing the locals to take action.
Once resolved, all resources of the opponent belong to those who took action... Therefore, although the duration of this clean-up was short, the big catches have been completely apprehended.
Originally, those powerful people should have been on the wanted list, creating chaos and infamy, but now they have been forced to play a cat-and-mouse ga, a ga played with their lives.
For Lilith to compile this information, it shows that there are still Dusk rcenaries present where they are, and discussions about these topics occurred.
Zheng Yichen shared the related news with Liu Hongzhao and the others through the Illusory Eye.
"Brother Chang Qing, you’ve single-handedly changed the direction of this world," Lin Yaoyao said sincerely after reading the news. If Zheng Yichen hadn’t exerted enough deterrence, would the Unified Imperial Dynasty have arranged this series of follow-up actions after the battle at Ancient Immortal Mountain?
Even if it were to stabilize public sentint, it wouldn’t have been to this extent.
Moreover, the smooth implentation of this matter depended heavily on Zheng Yichen’s strong deterrence, besides the execution power of the Unified Imperial Dynasty. He had instilled fear into those sects previously, so in the subsequent rectification, those sects were willing to cooperate.
"Hahaha, those with power can wreak havoc, but if they overdo it, it’s the ordinary people who suffer. This outco is nice."
After finishing the al, Zheng Yichen carried a slightly tipsy small white dragon out of the tavern.
With the mainland so calm, he can’t stir up trouble here. Overseas regions have turned into novice villages from being massacred, and after the clean-up of the mainland, there’s basically no one left to cause trouble.
So why should he stay in this world? To seek those hidden experts? The environnt of this world compares favorably to the world of magic, though the distribution of high-end power is sowhat problematic.
True Immortals in this world can match the True Gods in the world of magic, but cannot match the Main Gods of the God type.
Could this world lack those similar to Main Gods? The likelihood is low, but it can’t be ruled out.
Even if the world’s environnt is high, it’s not certain that strong beings matching the environnt’s limits will appear.
Zheng Yichen doesn’t plan to verify these matters. Having completed the main tasks, he now wants to continue enjoying his vacation.
Zheng Yichen continued to maintain the disguise of his appearance. He wasn’t in a hurry to return, as Liu Hongzhao and the others broke through now, but needed so ti to stabilize their states.
Given this world’s high environnt, rather than a world with a low environnt, it’s better to conduct their subsequent stabilization here, taking only a few days.
During these few days, so new changes occurred in this world. The new emperor of the Unified Imperial Dynasty ascended... well, this won’t be completed in a short ti, requiring at least several months for the transition.
After all, Li Changsheng is still alive and well.
The elderly mbers of the Imperial Family have been forced into Ancient Immortal Mountain, with the intention to cause trouble but lacking the ans.
The major event was the Unified Imperial Dynasty’s ’Conscription Decree,’ prompted by an incident at Ancient Immortal Mountain.
So unusual things erged from the crack in the sky. Compared to the forr Outer Domain Sky Demons of the Dusk rcenaries, the bizarre creatures from the sky cracks are the true Outer Domain Sky Demons.
For this, Zheng Yichen even went to see out of curiosity, finding these things quite novel.
His hands itched, and he killed a few, but received no substantive feedback.
The invading creatures, so of which are soul entities, had significant differences from typical souls. Killing and devouring them was like drinking a glass of water for Zheng Yichen.
The invasive creatures with physical forms have blood, which also contains energy, but it’s still useless for Zheng Yichen, as there is no life force in that blood.
They’re not normal forms of life, so Zheng Yichen can’t do much about it, much like how he can’t drink motor oil when dealing with robots.
The strength of these invasive creatures isn’t weak, but it’s within the range of local forces’ capability to handle. Zheng Yichen has observed that the invasion of these creatures is also limited by the rift; overly powerful ones simply can’t pass through.
The ergence of these things has brought even greater crisis to the Li family of the Ancient Immortal Mountain. So mbers of the Li family previously thought that the Ancient Venerable’s curse wasn’t that serious and that external invaders from the outside world wouldn’t always appear.
After repelling the Boundary Breakers, those invaders wouldn’t return here for a long ti, allowing them to enjoy peace for a very long ti.
But now they realize they’ve been overthinking. Even without normal invaders, there will be abnormal ones, invaders that are unreasonable and harbor extre malice towards living beings.
Confronting such invasive creatures, they can only bite the bullet and fight. They can manage to fight them off, but the pressure is imnse, and even so powerful mbers of the Li family could end up dead in battle.
Given these premises, are they still thinking about gathering resources at the Ancient Immortal Mountain to continue enjoying their lives?
They’re overthinking. As long as the invasive creatures don’t stop, they can forget about having true peace here. Moreover, they’ve noticed that after clearing off a batch of invasive creatures, the number of subsequent invaders hasn’t decreased; instead, it has increased.
Their world is like a fruit exuding delicious scent, and now the fruit’s shell is broken, attracting a swarm of flies here, whereas the Li family, under the Ancient Venerable’s curse mission, doesn’t even have the chance to retreat.
Refusing to fight turns into an ominous rush forward, becoming more combat-effective after turning ominous compared to their original state.
This situation also reassured Zheng Yichen that it seems the Ancient Venerable is not as benevolent as he thought, as the curse mission appears lenient but offers no retreat; being lenient, however, allows the Li family to maintain a better populace.
In the future, whoever is reincarnated into the Li family in this world is truly considered unlucky.
"Once the body stabilizes, we’ll prepare to leave." In a good mood, Zheng Yichen took the three little ones back to Dusk.
This area of Dusk remains bustling; a high-environnt world is indeed a high-resource world, and the local big shots here offer a series of privileges to Dusk, making this world very attractive to Dusk rcenaries from other worlds.
" 25? I took down quite a few Boundary Breakers this ti, didn’t I?" Looking at his rit point tally, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; there were hardly any points from the Boundary Breakers this ti, with most of it coming from the Flesh Core, and even that contribution seed ager.
"Those Boundary Breakers are no longer normal, independent entities," Tia, who was doing the tally for Zheng Yichen, explained about the Boundary Breakers’ situation.
"They’ve rged with the Flesh Core, are they still considered human in that state?" Zheng Yichen wondered about the state of those Boundary Breakers, noting that their self-awareness remained pretty intact.
"Consider them servants."
"Tsk tsk, so that’s how it is. By the way, what are those things that invaded from the Outer Realm?" Zheng Yichen lost interest in the Boundary Breakers since they were all destroyed along with the Flesh Core, so there was no point in concerning himself with them.
As for things like the Flesh Core, he could observe them more in the Virtual World when he got back.
Instead, he grew quite interested in those invasive creatures from the Outer Realm. He stored part of them inside to let Lilith analyze them, but the information obtained was minimal.
The amount of information those creatures contained was very low and inherently contradictory, making it insufficient to sustain their existence. Yet, they could function and exhibit remarkably strong combat capabilities.
"They’re bugs," Tia explained, "you can consider them as worms gnawing on the fruit. When the fruit is intact, they pose no threat, but once the fruit’s skin is broken, the worms swarm in."
"... So does that an I might encounter missions to deal with such invasive creatures in the future?" Due to his job, Zheng Yichen first considered this possibility.
"Generally not; if the world’s in trouble due to worm invasion, it ans it’s beyond what a Proxy Agent can salvage." Tia didn’t elaborate much, and with Zheng Yichen’s understanding, there was no need to continue explaining.
Zheng Yichen had witnessed the invasion of outside world bugs and had co into contact with them. If a world was truly on the brink because of them, it indicated the world’s barriers were almost completely compromised.
The outside world bugs would also be affected by the environnt inside the world, but the difference was that they inherently adapted, without weakening due to the extre disparities inherent in the world’s environnt.
When the environnt itself was strong, the outside world bugs would invade in a high-strength state; if the energy level was high, they would have a high energy level.
In a balanced environnt, they would either have dual attributes or co randomly.
"Are there many of such bugs?"
"Countless, as long as the passage is large enough and the world’s center remains undamaged, they can fill the entire universe."
Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth; this was beyond being nurous!
