Chapter 1007: Chapter 734: Did She Just Say Goodnight?

Zheng Yichen’s apology and acknowledgment of his mistakes seemed somewhat effective, but not completely, as the thunderstorm and Earth Fire continued unabated and undiminished, only the anger targeting him scattered slightly.

This scattering caused the thunderstorm and Earth Fire to no longer concentrate, but Zheng Yichen still suffered greatly. His equipment offered some natural protection, providing extra resistance against such attacks.

However, resistance is not immunity. Once the intensity reaches a certain level, resistance becomes ineffective.

Additionally, he confirmed that reversing Malicious Erosion into Benevolent Blessings does clear the previous environmental impact, rather than reversing the entire progress of Malicious Erosion.

And this clearing is only for the progress he himself made; the accumulated anger from Nature—this World itself—due to Malicious Erosion still exists.

Normally, such Malicious Erosion wouldn’t evoke such a massive reaction, considering it’s only a regional effect; otherwise, those God’s Corpses would have faced divine punishment in their worlds long ago.

Though such divine punishment would not necessarily be effective.

On Zheng Yichen’s part, he additionally possesses a faint Unity of Heaven and Man trait, which directly amplified the effects of Malicious Erosion, and also brought greater negative consequences.

Nature is very angry, extremely furious yet not powerless in its rage, even if his equipment has natural affinity, and despite his current state maintaining Benevolent Blessings through his weapon equipment.

White Light surrounded him with a ’Halo Envelopment’, filled with the bright essence of life... but... Nature is still very angry!

Through the feedback from Unity of Heaven and Man, Zheng Yichen felt like he was a scumbag who had committed an unforgivable act, and it was too late to start apologizing now.

Repentance? What a joke...

Cough cough.

"I really was wrong! I did this to eliminate the enemies of the World!" Zheng Yichen yelled loudly. Of course, Nature wouldn’t respond to this, but that’s what Zheng Yichen believed.

Through Benevolent Blessings, his thoughts would be transmitted outward. As long as he can communicate effectively, it will appease Nature’s wrath.

The thunderstorm and Earth Fire began to weaken and no longer targeted Zheng Yichen specifically. However, Zheng Yichen still suffered a lot in such circumstances.

After the thunderstorm and Earth Fire subsided, he felt he was probably cooked to about fifty percent readiness.

The feedback from Unity of Heaven and Man also gradually weakened.

—Next time, don’t allow this to happen again, otherwise, I will still be angry!

After dispersing the Benevolent Blessings, Zheng Yichen finally embellished the last bit of feedback in his mind.

Landing on the scorching ground, Zheng Yichen felt he was progressing towards sixty percent readiness, and he could still see some magma that hadn’t cooled down around him.

He rubbed his eyes, now he was completely exhausted both mentally and physically. The high consumption of his Illusory Eye on his spirit, and the physical drain from the Wrath of Nature-induced disaster were tremendous.

A full dose of the Essence of Life was needed for recovery. In a lower environmental level, the consumption of Essence of Life is substantial. In such lower environments, lifeform levels are reduced, and a lower lifeform level means lower quality of Life Force.

In higher environments, he could live for tens of thousands of years or even longer, but in lower environments, he could barely last a few hundred years at most.

"So tired!" Taking a long breath, Zheng Yichen began to remove the thorns embedded on his body. These were left behind after the explosion of the Boundary Breaking core.

He was the closest to the explosion of the Boundary Breaking core, so naturally, a lot of such things were embedded in him. Some of these spikes broke through his armor but directly pierced into his body.

Others simply went through his body and flew off to who knows where.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t be bothered to look for those fragments anymore. Removing the spikes, one by one, Zheng Yichen checked his phone, and the countdown had completely disappeared.

Not just paused, but completely gone, indicating there were no more hidden dangers.

"Phew—" Collecting those fragments, since the Boundary Breaking core could withstand the hit he caused to invoke the celestial disaster, and still leave behind so many fragments under the pressure of thunderstorm and Earth Fire, it must be something valuable, definitely worth taking along.

"I need to go back and sleep." Zheng Yichen rubbed his head, releasing Tanshia Firlo.

The small white dragon raised the Holy Relic of Life in her hand, surrounding Zheng Yichen with the Life Domain, but she soon pursed her lips and put the lifted Holy Relic of Life back.

Zheng Yichen was greatly exhausted, but his body didn’t have any substantial injuries, rendering her healing completely useless.

Even though she is now positioned to both fight and defend, why was it like this?

"You’re still young." Seeing Tanshia Firlo somewhat depressed, Zheng Yichen patted her head: "Having you by my side makes my recovery a bit faster. Let’s head back to Dusk."

Glancing at a drone flying over in the distance, Zheng Yichen took out a motorcycle and rode away.

This mission was just like that. Resolve the Boundary Breaking core, then head home. The daily life of a Proxy Agent will be like this from now on.

If efficient, it seems a mission can be completed in one or two days. Previously, it was his lack of strength, so he needed to observe the situation in advance, but now? Just directly push through.

What puzzled Zheng Yichen about this mission was that no God Descenders appeared. With the interference of God Descenders, it would have been somewhat troublesome, but without those beings appearing, the remaining Boundary Breakers are just small fries, right?

"He has left." Bai Lianping watched Zheng Yichen depart and immediately arranged transportation to another city’s Dusk Cathedral.

The White Tiger is dead, and the calamity that killed the White Tiger has completely leveled Ring City; now, there isn’t a single trace left of it.

The impact of heavenly thunder and earth fire on the landscape was too great.

Not only that, other parts of the world are also in disarray, with the purge operation still ongoing.

The financial system has almost collapsed, and even though the news of victory has been spread, the ensuing turmoil has not yet settled down.

More troubles are following, with terrorist organizations and evil cults emerging in a short period of time, all requiring military intervention.

Additionally, by eavesdropping on the Dusk mercenaries, Bai Lianping knew that the world crisis had been completely resolved and gained new insights about the Proxy Agents.

The crisis had not reached a point of no return; it was the Dusk mercenaries who came to this world to solve the problem. However, the Boundary Breakers arrived earlier than the Dusk mercenaries, infiltrating their world first and then beginning to plan the Breakworld.

This is akin to the incubation period of a virus; during this phase, the human body does not yet show problems, but when the virus activates and the immune system starts operating, the Dusk mercenaries appear.

But if the immune system can’t overcome the virus, then the Proxy Agents step in, akin to taking medicine — and if the medicine doesn’t work, then just wait for death...

Generally speaking, the Dusk mercenaries are quite passive. When they arrive in the world that needs healing, they are targeted by the indigenous people, even though they are being exploited by the Boundary Breakers, which always brings significant trouble for the Dusk mercenaries.

Especially in worlds where technology is advanced and information travels fast, the Boundary Breakers can gain more power in a short period of time.

It’s somewhat better in ancient worlds...

After gathering much information, Bai Lianping formulated a plan on the road with his staff; they too needed Dusk mercenaries, but as for Proxy Agents, they are something special.

However, before fostering Dusk mercenaries, they must first solve the subsequent problems of their native world.

Dusk Cathedral.

Back here, Zheng Yichen stretched lazily. The city was now deserted, with only the Dusk nuns left inside the Dusk Cathedral.

After returning to Dusk, Zheng Yichen immediately found Tia and asked, "Is there a resting room here? I would like to have a good sleep."

"There is no resting room, but you can go to the medical room or your private room."

"Private room... uh, let’s head to the medical room first," Zheng Yichen rubbed his eyes. He always used his private room as a storage room, really not much in the way of furniture.

The medical room is better, there is no smell of disinfectant in the medical room of the Dusk Cathedral.

Looking at Zheng Yichen lying down, Tia calmly said, "Good night."

When she left, she casually pulled the curtain closed.

Zheng Yichen was a bit stunned, "She actually said good night to me?"

"Uh, is that weird?" Tanshia Firlo curiously asked from the bedside.

"Of course, it’s weird. Dusk nuns are not normal people; they don’t just say such things. I’m not dying, am I?"

Zheng Yichen felt a bit uneasy, couldn’t help but check his physical condition again, recalling the experiences since his return.

There was nothing complicated about his experience, he just asked about the rewards for this mission, then came here to the medical room.

His merit points have already surpassed four hundred, but the merit points he gained this time were unexpectedly few... only 16 points, initially Zheng Yichen thought he had seen wrongly!

After checking repeatedly, it was indeed 16 points. It was a bit less, but he had already accumulated 405 merit points up until now, and had earned one retention opportunity!

He could splurge!

Cough, no, even if he got involved in the Great World now, he could start causing trouble without any restraints. However, Zheng Yichen seriously considered it and resisted the urge to surf wildly.

Mainly because while a person can survive, the equipment they carry cannot be retained. Du Gang and Zheng Yichen had spoken about the experiences of old predecessors; painstakingly forged equipment with accumulated merit points would be lost due to death, which would be a terrible loss.

A mission failure is somewhat better; at least when returning, one could simply use a retention chance, and the equipment could be properly taken along.

It’s not wise to splurge recklessly, unless there’s a capability to ensure that even after death, the equipment can still properly appear with them.

"Sigh, the lack of God Descender mission rewards is too low," Zheng Yichen felt a bit melancholic after confirming his body was in good condition.

Ordinary Boundary Breakers could no longer pose a threat to him, even if those Boundary Breakers’ individual strength reached the upper limit of this world; but Zheng Yichen was the peak of that upper limit.

Those Boundary Breakers would still be suppressed by him upon encountering Zheng Yichen; moreover, not all Boundary Breakers from high environments could reach this world’s environmental limit; those were just the minority.

"Time to sleep."
