"...Alright." Zheng Yichen didn’t stay long at the Night Banquet Bar.
He finally arrived at Ahn Ke’s place.
Ahn Ke was preparing to move to the new research institute soon, which was near Zheng Yichen’s residence.
But after learning what Zheng Yichen was going to do, his brows furrowed: "You’re going to be gone for a long ti this ti?"
She wanted to go with Zheng Yichen.
"I don’t know exactly how long, but there’s a way to communicate remotely now, what are you worried about?"
Ahn Ke thought of the Balance Scale sculpture, which was quite popular at the research institute.
It’s not that the crazy scientists joining her research really believed in sothing, they were actually more rational when looking at things.
Just like how Zheng Yichen used faith for trading, after understanding the function of the Balance Scale sculpture, they started trading with faith for real.
Truly believe in sothing? Their faith was just a currency for facilitating research.
Even with this mindset, the quality of the faith they provided for trade was quite high, and the trade buff they mainly chose was Ice Crystal Freeze.
When concentrating on research, one’s state declines quickly, but Ice Crystal Freeze can directly prevent this issue, and then there’s the Fervent Blood Life.
This ensures that during their research, their bodies remain in a highly active state for a long ti, ignoring any pressure, pushing their bodies to the limit.
Anything else? They weren’t interested in anything else.
"Alright, co back soon." Ahn Ke no longer tried to keep him, the Ahn family had quite a few matters recently.
Not bad things, but matters related to the neighboring Devouring World, where the Ahn family divided quite a bit of the benefits in war, controlling an area far beyond Hazy City.
In Hazy City, they still faced restrictions from various forces and officials, but in the neighboring world, such restrictions were virtually nonexistent, and the Ahn family was in a position to make custom rules.
Thus, the Ahn family gradually shifted their focus of developnt from Hazy City to the neighboring Devouring World.
After all, the two worlds were close, so in Hazy City, the Ahn family just needed to maintain the basic setup.
Expanding outward was difficult because the distribution and developnt of forces here were already saturated.
Expansion was a matter of more effort for less reward.
For Ahn Ke, the war allowed her creations to be widely applied, collecting a large amount of experintal data, a form of ’contribution’ to the family that she actually liked.
The family provided resources, while she produced so special products, each getting what they needed.
"When will you leave?"
"Now, do let your sister know." Zheng Yichen didn’t plan to stay long here, nor did he prepare to wait 48 hours to go to Dusk.
Knowing that this preparation ti was actually deducted from his mission ti cured his procrastination in this aspect.
Returning to the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen saw the figure of Senluo.
"I’m going with you."
"Are you sure?" Zheng Yichen was sowhat surprised.
Senluo nodded: "I can put off collecting soil, but I can’t miss the world you’re contacting."
There were too many phenona in Hazy City; for Senluo, she could collect all kinds of soil at any ti, but a world with a Dusk Extermination Order might not be encountered if missed.
Seeing Senluo’s serious attitude, Zheng Yichen did not refuse, after all, her combat strength was not inferior to the Proxy Agent, and in so parts even stronger.
If she wanted to go along, it was fine.
Inside the internal space, Tanshia Firlo looked a bit stunned at Senluo’s appearance here, imdiately letting out a small cat-like hissing sound.
She felt her territory was being invaded.
Senluo would appear here casually at other tis, but this ti her Fosterer was about to execute a task, and Senluo’s presence here was self-evident.
"Calm down." Senluo raised her hand to stroke the head of the small white dragon, smoothing down the bristling white dragon.
Tanshia Firlo stared at Senluo: "Why are you coming too?"
Although she was a bit reluctant to admit it, Senluo’s techniques were on par with her Fosterer’s, no wonder she was a World Tree hosting many dragons.
"I don’t want to miss a unique world."
The small white dragon was briefly taken aback, was it not out of sentint to co and help?
She quickly said: "You better be careful not to bring about an Extermination Order in your world too."
"I’m not that foolish; if such a thing happens, I’ll spread out the World Tree seed."
"Huh? Facing destruction that casually?" Tanshia Firlo was briefly taken aback, but she sowhat understood the tree’s perspective, as a dragon.
She thought Senluo’s idea was a bit advanced.
Better keep an eye on her Fosterer.
Zheng Yichen found Tia.
"You sure you want to leave now?"
"Yes." Zheng Yichen glanced at the mo, and, finding nothing overlooked, responded succinctly.
Tia said nothing more, leading Zheng Yichen to the world-crossing room, the familiar door-opening and door-closing sounds echoed, and in an instant, Zheng Yichen felt the peculiarity of a new environnt.
The environnt was filled with an indescribable awkward feeling.
Like a terminally ill lunatic?
Moreover, this lunatic knew their days were numbered, so they planned to go crazy, a being like this could be called a living zombie.
"I’m wondering how this world compares to a cancerous world."
Releasing Senluo and Tanshia Firlo from the internal space, Zheng Yichen conversed with Tia, who hadn’t left, and Tia said: "An immobile corpse versus a living but frenzied corpse."
"Got it." Zheng Yichen nodded, leaving the world-crossing room, finding the place rather deserted, though humans could be seen, they were not nurous, but there were quite a few Dusk nuns here.
More than thirty people, indicating that the human population of this world was over ten billion.
"These people would be considered... innocents, right?" Zheng Yichen asked Tia, noting that the humans here were natives.
This world was under the Dusk Extermination Order, aning the majority of humans here were not ’innocent’, or they would have been wiped out by entering the Dusk Cathedral.
Zheng Yichen had seen first-hand a Devourer being exterminated by Dusk, and upon nearing Dusk, the Devourer was directly obliterated, unable to offer any resistance.
"There are innocents, but not many, so there’s no need to pay them any attention."
Tia spoke with a touch of indifference, which Zheng Yichen could understand; if one equated this world to a zombie, those deed innocent would be akin to still-healthy cells in a corpse.
But this number was too small compared to the pathological parts.
Seeing the anxious looks of those people, Zheng Yichen did not leave the Dusk Cathedral imdiately, but instead found a place to sit and took out so small gadgets from the internal space.
Like an invisible drone; Lilith had long been able to make these at will.
He planned to gather so intelligence first, to learn more about this world under an Extermination Order before leaving.
As for the task arrangent.
Tia simply took Zheng Yichen’s phone and operated it briefly before handing it back to him.
The mission was simple—eradicate civilization.
Destroy the cultural heritage of this world.
Previously, such missions might have been sumd up in a single sentence, leaving Zheng Yichen to figure out how to execute them.
But this ti, Zheng Yichen saw so annotated content, including the depth of civilization eradication.
To eradicate civilization in this world, the simplest thod is massacre, clearing all intelligent beings in this world, then there will be no cultural heritage.
Another thod is the destruction of advanced knowledge, eliminating everything that led to the trigger conditions for the Extermination Order; after cleansing, retaining the transmission of normal knowledge is also considered a form of cultural eradication.
This normal knowledge standard was very low, at a high school level or so.
More advanced parts could be retained, but only if Zheng Yichen could handle such a large workload to screen them.
