Going ho...
The ss of this world made Zheng Yichen sowhat nostalgic for Earth right now, but this involves a choice between what to hold onto and what to let go.
After all, on Earth, he was an ordinary person, and he didn’t have an almost perfect artificial intelligence assistant like Lilith.
But in this place, things were different.
"Boss, I want to go and have a look too," Lilith said. In the simulated world she generated, there was a special simulated world, one that Zheng Yichen personally designed.
Although there was nothing particularly special about it, as a simulated world personally designed by Zheng Yichen, even if it appeared ordinary, Lilith had still adjusted it to the highest attention level.
"Opportunities will co, definitely."
In the afternoon, Wu Lingluo found Zheng Yichen and spoke of sothing similar to Zhu Li’s experience.
Zheng Yichen looked at the latest batch of World Tree fruits, knowing that the current situation had entered a new cycle. The more World Tree fruits distributed, the more people would survive in the end, but the Boundary Breaking Organization would beco crazier.
The crazier they got, the more there would be horrific explosions, and ultimately, fewer people would survive.
Between the two, there was no possibility of coexistence.
There was also no possibility of compromise between them unless the Dusk side compromised first, indicating there wouldn’t be any repercussions, allowing those Boundary Breakers to survive.
Is that even possible?
"You haven’t encountered a situation similar to Zhu Li’s, have you?"
Wu Lingluo shook her head: "No, but it’s sure to happen. Many Dusk rcenaries and Proxy Agents have encountered it."
She mainly helped Zheng Yichen gather so crucial intelligence at that mont. Although things like scales were carried around by people, they really weren’t ant to monitor individuals.
So intelligence still needed personal insight.
"Currently, this situation isn’t widespread. If a Proxy Agent encounters it, they’re just unlucky. But if a Dusk rcenary encounters it, then there’s really no way out."
A world’s explosion wasn’t instantaneous; there would be a brief preheating delay, enough ti for Proxy Agents to return to Dusk Territory.
But Dusk rcenaries might not be able to make it back. When the world explodes, Dusk Territory is the safest place. If they can’t get back, even if they don’t die in the explosion, they will be thrown into the Outer Realm, where they will die anyway.
It’s not just Dusk rcenaries. Even soone like her as a Proxy Agent, if thrown into the Outer Realm, the end result would be death.
She had fused with a World Bubble. Although she could survive in the Outer Realm environnt, the environnt outside was too chaotic and lacked ’distance,’ which would cause her to drift helplessly in the Outer Realm.
If she didn’t reach another world before exhausting herself, she would still die.
"This can be seen as a good thing. Those Dusk rcenaries are now all rushing to earn rit points. Once their enthusiasm is dampened, won’t they be able to properly gather intelligence?"
"...This isn’t good." Du Gang, who was also present, was a bit speechless at Zhu Li’s words. This Curse Master tended to be extre in actions at tis.
Is this even sothing a person would say?
"The existence of Dusk rcenaries is still necessary. Once they go on strike again, we’ll have to take over. How much ti do you think we’ll have then?"
"Ah, right..." Zhu Li tapped his head and stopped talking.
If Dusk rcenaries stopped working, wouldn’t the New Boundary Breaker Organization just focus on targeting Proxy Agents?
Think about it, the forr Primordial World-breaker Organization wasn’t a terror group focused on blowing things up; they were Collectors.
Many of the current New Boundary Breaker Organizations are different.
While fighting with Dusk rcenaries could delay a lot of ti, if Proxy Agents entered the fray, they knew they couldn’t win, so wouldn’t they start resorting to extres and blowing things up?
They wouldn’t even need to find out when Proxy Agents were coming. As long as the timing was calculated, nearly enough, they would just blow up the preheated world.
The world might explode as soon as the Proxy Agent arrived, causing the mission to fail right then.
Even without preheating, they could still force many Proxy Agents to the brink of death. Not all Proxy Agents could easily push their way through problems like they could. Resolving issues also required so ti.
Furthermore, without the Dusk rcenaries’ presence, those Boundary Breakers were free to arrange a lot of setups centered around the Dusk, like completely sealed setups.
If anything erged from within, they would receive a warning imdiately.
In short, there were too many ways to target them, and Dusk rcenaries were still necessary.
"Several Proxy Agents I know have also encountered these mutually destructive suicides, and when I ca, I specifically asked the Dusk nun about it. The current ti is the year 999."
Du Gang approached the task with more precision, gathering all the intelligence he could possibly uncover upon arrival.
"The problem is that not even three months have passed," Tongyue said weakly. She was like an enforcer here, sotis gathering bits of information, but it was mostly similar to what Wu Lingluo and the others collected.
"Three months falling short of a year?" Julie scoffed. "You can’t calculate it like that. With those Boundary Breaking Organizations causing trouble, the ti reduction will accelerate. The late years of the Collective World are ominous..."
It was already on the brink of death, yet a group causing havoc kept further shortening the survival ti of the Collective World.
That’s how it is now. Soon it might be two months falling short of a year, then one month, then half a month...
Wu Lingluo glanced at the muttering Julie and said:
"You should be grateful. When the Primordial World-breaker Organization fought us, they reaped a large number of the Devouring Organization mbers, primarily targeting the plumpest ones. If those Devouring Organization mbers remained, they would only bring further chaos."
"Sigh, I’m tired. Let it all end," Julie sighed deeply. She hadn’t thought much of it before, but with so little ti left, she began to truly feel it. Why are there so many obstacles?
Zheng Yichen contemplated for a mont before speaking, "I feel the sa. Since that’s the case, let’s speed things up."
So far, there’s been no information akin to Hazy City World, and it’s unclear if it’s been deliberately blocked or for so other reason.
There is even less intelligence about the Primal Stone World.
Obviously, no matter how good the luck, such intelligence isn’t sothing that can be obtained quickly. For now, apart from waiting, there’s no better option.
However, information about beings like the Ancient Venerable has surfaced a bit, but Zheng Yichen needs to personally delve into it next.
Wu Lingluo’s gaze was sowhat heavy, "Have you made your decision?"
"Of course. The World Tree fruit is almost ready, and I can’t preserve all the worlds. I’ve done what I can. If the corresponding intelligence doesn’t co, I’ll just head straight for Dusk."
Zheng Yichen placed an hourglass on the table.
The sand in the hourglass trickled down very slowly. With just one look, Wu Lingluo could estimate the ti—no more than two months.
Zheng Yichen had given himself two months. After those two months, he would go directly to find Dusk.
This was different from their initial long-term plan of twenty years; if Zheng Yichen was going after Dusk, he needed to be in peak condition, with more accumulations.
Dusk was unique, but it was undeniable—Dusk was also within the World.
This aspect made them not so different, which ant when Dusk was doing certain things, it too required things like World Resources.
It’s just that Dusk had more special permissions, making it seem omnipotent, so Zheng Yichen’s constant improvent of his foundations during this period wasn’t futile.
Perhaps in terms of power level he couldn’t compare to Dusk, but sotis it’s about how the power is used. The difference between a needle and a person’s figure is vast, but a well-used needle can still kill.
Zheng Yichen’s other powers were hard to wield, but the power of Oblivion... even though this power was completely mastered through Dusk’s paths, thinking like this feels sowhat overconfident, but without negotiation, they were all just waiting for death.
"It’s too hasty."
"There’s no ti to wait." Zheng Yichen shook his head, reaching out to lightly tap on the hourglass he placed down. "With the second and third batches of World Tree fruit being released, the situation will only worsen. I’ve made up my mind."
Wu Lingluo furrowed her brows, "You’re being reckless. You haven’t even recovered physically."
She glanced at Zheng Yichen’s hand. Though it was covered by a bandage, his hands still only had filants of blood, not even ford bones.
A person without even a physical body wants to negotiate with Dusk.
"Hahaha, actually, the body isn’t so important to anymore. I’m actually nearly at my peak now," Zheng Yichen said with a smile, explaining his situation.
When he fought with the Heavenly Path’s Body of the Boundary Breaking Organization, he lost his normal body, leaving only a head, and yet his combat ability remained unaffected.
He no longer had a flesh and blood body, but when necessary, he could manifest a formless Oblivion body or a Life Creation body.
That sort of body was akin to the environnt itself, indescribable. The humanoid form others saw was just a result of Zheng Yichen voluntarily consolidating it; that humanoid body wasn’t the totality, but rely the tip of the iceberg.
In such a state, Zheng Yichen was no longer human. Even if he still considered himself human, his external manifestation couldn’t be linked with humanity.
Rather than saying he was still human, it would be more accurate to call him an embodint of an environntal phenonon.
"That sounds worse," Julie couldn’t help but say. "I’m really worried you’ll go mad because of this state."
Transforming directly into the environnt itself sounded sowhat like a World’s Will state, yet Zheng Yichen hadn’t ntioned World’s Will; clearly, it wasn’t the sa situation.
The power Zheng Yichen used was Oblivion... Oblivion also represents an environnt, and if spread, then there’s another reason for the eventual destruction.
