Using the cross-world service for the first ti, Zheng Yichen found it rather mundane. Tia didn’t accompany him; she simply sent him to the sa room’s entrance they had previously used, implying that he could go through by himself, as this was his personal matter rather than an official duty.
However, if there was any work that needed Zheng Yichen’s attention, then he still had to return to Dusk promptly.
About to enter, Zheng Yichen asked, "What if I’m held up by so very important matters?"
"Then you should resolve all obstructing factors even quicker. Being late will only waste your own ti."
"Ah... Alright," Zheng Yichen said as he opened the door and walked through, carrying a bunch of local produce with him. As he entered, he slightly opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t ask about Hunter Arno.
In the world of post-apocalyptic martial arts, looking at the two Dusk nuns here, Zheng Yichen felt sympathy for this world. So many had died, yet there were still thoughts of dominating the world. No, the world itself did not need sympathy; even if mankind perished, the world itself would still be fine. Perhaps in many years, new species would erge.
The creatures of the past would naturally have been phased out by ti.
"Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon," one of the Dusk nuns said calmly to Zheng Yichen, then continued on with her tasks, whether that was cleaning the Dusk Cathedral or standing sowhere in a daze. Her attitude towards Zheng Yichen was completely different from Tia’s.
Zheng Yichen didn’t mind and shifted the topic, "Haven’t Hong Zhao and the others co here lately?"
"They’ve gone to take on a mission in another world."
"..." Zheng Yichen blinked, making sure he hadn’t heard wrong, "They... Alright, I got it."
He sighed; that was not reassuring.
Rubbing his forehead, he couldn’t really criticize Liu Hongzhao and the others for their actions. Zheng Yichen had no intention of restricting their lives or plans, but their decision to beco Dusk rcenaries seed sowhat impulsive to him, with their age being a disadvantage.
While they were indeed mature for their age, maturity couldn’t compensate for a lack of experience.
Speaking of experience might not be absolute, but getting involved with Dusk is not a good thing, especially after the Boundary Breaking Faction ca up with so new tricks recently.
"If they return, tell them I’ve been here. I’ll probably stay in the area for a week or two."
"Okay, any other issues?" The Dusk nun in this world nodded and continued inquiring.
"No, I’m heading to the garage."
The style of this Dusk Territory was ancient, and the ’garage’ here was ant for storing carriages and the like. Zheng Yichen saw a very robust black horse eating the remnants of so fodder, while his motorcycle was in another area. The two distinct styles of transport coexisted strangely but harmoniously here.
Upon Zheng Yichen’s arrival, the black horse stopped eating and stared at him intently, giving him a rather fierce impression.
After mounting his motorcycle and leaving the garage, Zheng Yichen encountered another Dusk nun, "Eh? You were at the garage? Feeding the horses?"
"Yes." The Dusk nun nodded and walked into the garage.
"...Sure," Zheng Yichen muttered to himself, wondering if that horse could be an old acquaintance.
Just as he was about to leave, a sowhat weathered voice ca from behind him, "You... are the Proxy Agent from before?"
Zheng Yichen turned around and saw a young knight-errant with a sword on his back. The knight had a continuous red mark that ran from his side face to his neck, which didn’t look like a scar but resembled so sort of curse.
"That’s all in the past. I’m not here because there’s a problem with this world; I’m here to visit an old friend."
Understanding dawned on the knight-errant’s face, and the worry on his face dissipated. When he saw Zheng Yichen, he had tensed up, fearing that their ravaged world was in trouble again. Zheng Yichen’s words greatly relieved him.
"Thank you for what you did before. Otherwise, my native world would have been completely overrun," the knight-errant said with heartfelt gratitude. After becoming a Dusk rcenary, he realized the job was not as easy as it was portrayed by others. However, thanks to his innate martial arts talent and physical prowess, he adapted to his new role quite quickly.
He had resolved quite a few troubleso situations with different Dusk rcenaries, which opened his eyes to the uses of power. He had learnt more about the role of Proxy Agents, which, by nature, didn’t require gratitude. Yet, since this was his ho world, coming across Zheng Yichen and not thanking him didn’t feel right.
"I’ll accept your thanks," Zheng Yichen said with a smile. It was perfectly normal to accept thanks for saving a world from its inhabitants.

"My na is Yang Xingxiu. I might not be able to help you elsewhere, but as a Dusk rcenary, I will do my utmost to deal with those enemies belonging to Dusk!" The young knight-errant spoke very earnestly. Proxy Agents had no choice, but Dusk rcenaries did, and when it ca to completing missions, it was enough just to et the minimum standard."
So Dusk rcenaries had expressed before that there was no need to fight so hard. Cooperating with Dusk ant they just needed to exchange their fighting capabilities for Dusk’s services. Putting their lives on the line was just not worth it; they were not like Proxy Agents without any other options.
The world was saved by Zheng Yichen. As an indigenous person, the best way to repay him was to eliminate more of Dusk’s enemies. As long as those enemies were taken care of, the pressure on Proxy Agents would be greatly reduced. That was better than providing so-called treasures of heaven and earth.
He had thought about preparing so Divine weapons for Proxy Agents if he had the chance, but after seeing and hearing more, he understood how naive his idea was.
Divine weapons were not uncommon in Dusk. As long as there were materials, one could easily obtain perfectly crafted Divine weapons from there.
The weapon he was now using was such a sword, one that was beyond the capabilities of any skilled craftsman he knew of in the world when it was still normal."
"This is much better than giving a direct gift." Zheng Yichen rummaged through his motorcycle, tossed a red bottle containing a liquid that looked like a gemstone, and said, "Sothing that can save your life. It’s yours."
The healing potion made from the Essence of Life was extrely potent. As for the impact on changing one’s life form, well, it was within the safe range. However, a person could only use up to seven bottles of this potion in their lifeti without avoiding its effects.
"...Thank you." Yang Xingxiu initially wanted to refuse, but when Zheng Yichen took out this thing, he saw several more bottles of the sa potion in the storage compartnt.
So what’s the point of giving Proxy Agents treasures of heaven and earth that they might not even value? Better to do so more practical things.
"By the way, the Boundary Breaking Faction has co up with so Descent of God Technique recently. Be careful if you encounter it." Having said that, Zheng Yichen prepared to leave.
Yang Xingxiu hesitated for a mont and then spoke up, "Senior..."
His expression was sowhat odd, as Zheng Yichen now appeared too young. His hair mixed with black and white, and it felt strange to address him in this way. But he quickly suppressed these superfluous thoughts and continued, "Many people in the native lands are watching over the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate and her group. If possible, please show so rcy, Senior. There really aren’t many people left in this world."
He had also received so invitations from indigenous forces when he returned, but he had rejected all those invitations. Helping those people vie for the world?
Only after experiencing more did he realize how ignorant he was. In a world nearing extinction, instead of uniting to find ways to regenerate and nourish life, these people are still thinking of seizing power and causing trouble. Look at the healthy state of other worlds and compare it to our native one.
Yang Xingxiu could not tolerate cooperating with those who only thought of gaining control of the world!
What about those promises?
He didn’t much believe in those promises. Rather than cooperating with those people, he would be better off creating an organization or a school himself. This way, he could fight against the Boundary Breaking Faction and continuously grow stronger, while also enhancing the strength of the indigenous forces to confront the increasingly powerful alien demons.
Isn’t this better than cooperating with those with impure motives?
As for the initial developnt, he also had plans. Qi Family Town was an excellent choice, although to his knowledge, it had already beco a ’hotly contested spot for military strategists.’
As ti passed, so people could hardly resist the urge to act. Now that Zheng Yichen suddenly arrived here, if any conflict arose, Yang Xingxiu only hoped that Zheng Yichen would kill fewer people.
"Of course, I know this world is tragic. Don’t worry, I’m actually a pacifist," said Zheng Yichen as he twisted the throttle of his motorcycle and headed toward Qi Family Town. There were no traffic police in this world, and since there weren’t many people in the wilderness, he didn’t wear a helt.
When he left the Dusk Territory, he could see so military encampnts stationed nearby, and so powers had already built defensive works in the vicinity.
Although small in scale, they made decent bases.
So scouts, watching Zheng Yichen depart, quickly reported it up the chain. As for Yang Xingxiu, he looked at so distant people with a frown, lightly snorted, and ignored them, directly leaving the place.
The Dusk Territory was supposed to be a public area. He had also spread so ssages about the Dusk Territory and its special nature, hoping that more Dusk rcenaries would erge from the locals.
Although it might lead to so deaths, it was like a powerful dicine for the native world – sparse in population, with alien demons dominating. If so talented indigenous people could beco Dusk rcenaries and survive, they would have the opportunity to beco more powerful, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the native lands.
After returning, the first thing he did was summarize and record his gains, docunting the knowledge he acquired from the alien world to increase the human race’s foundation.
However, those forces vying for power saw the Dusk Territory as a special area and prohibited all ordinary people from entering. If they couldn’t stop soone, they turned a blind eye; if they could, nobody would be allowed to easily access the Dusk Territory.
To these people, Yang Xingxiu had nothing but contempt. Damn these vermin!
