Chapter 1035: Chapter 754 They Seem to Be Just Users_2

Zheng Yichen immediately dismissed this idea; those explosions were too wasteful to use against the mercenaries, obviously they were waiting for them.

"Do the Devourers intend to give up this world?" Looking at the huge crater created by the explosions, Du Gang was somewhat puzzled.

"Perhaps... After all, facing two Proxy Agents, if they had any sense, they would clearly know what needs to be done." Zheng Yichen said. Since the Devourers were so ’wise,’ he was not going to be polite either.

He observed the Devouring Sky Pillar; there was no problem, its energy had simply decayed a lot, but it could still be utilized.

He deployed his Divine Domain, then performed an Earth Devouring to destroy this thing.

While Zheng Yichen was working on this, Lilith pulled up a projection screen: "BOSS, there’s a problem. Someone online is spreading information about the Devouring Sky Pillar extensively, even including some structural diagrams of it."

"...What a bunch of lunatics!" Du Gang cursed fiercely, those Devourers, having no way out, started resorting to madness, although they had already been acting mad before.

Without a doubt, their current actions would transform a huge number of people into Devourers; even if they weren’t at the moment, with these materials, there will always be people turning into new Devourers in the future.

"Can we lock down this information?"

Lilith nodded: "It’s possible, but they still have offline means of disseminating the data."

"Let’s not worry about that for now." Zheng Yichen took a deep breath: "We need to speed things up."

"...Speed up what, let’s leave it at that." Du Gang, looking even more furious yet strangely calm, said: "What’s done is done, sooner or later doesn’t make much difference. We might as well focus on what we need to do."

Doing it earlier would merely kill off some small fry; doing it later wouldn’t have much impact on the things we have to do next.

A Devouring Sky Pillar isn’t so easy to create, nor is it easy to destroy; otherwise, the Devourers would have handled it when they retreated.

"I once encountered a cancerous world." Zheng Yichen began to tell Du Gang about one of the worlds he had experienced.

"That looks terrible." Du Gang looked at the data Zheng Yichen called up, a world turned to flesh, and just looking at it filled one with despair.

"This world was unlucky, originally belonging to the Devourers, and then it was invaded by the Boundary Breakers, followed by the arrival of individuals from the Equilibrium Faction."

After all sorts of meddling by the three parties, the world spiraled out of control and underwent cancerous transformation, becoming what it is now. The data I have here is probably the most complete record of that world."

There were survivors in the cancerous world, but they, along with the local Dusk nuns, had migrated to other worlds to start new lives. Considering the timeline, those people have long since integrated into the new worlds, living brand new lives.

"Is this the reason for the Devouring Sky Pillar?" Du Gang frowned slightly; such things happening in the Devourers’ home terrain likely had something more to do with the Devouring Sky Pillar.

"Perhaps, I encountered a Devourer there who chose to stay behind rather than flee. As he lay dying, he disclosed to me some intelligence, indicating a possible connection between the Devouring Faction and the Boundary Breaking Faction.

Looking back, this piece of intelligence seems reliable."

Zheng Yichen had not fully believed this intelligence before, and even if he did, the information was of little use to him; he didn’t have the capacity to investigate.

This wasn’t a normal investigation within the world; he couldn’t specifically go to the Great World to forcefully obtain information from others, right?

Or should he seek to understand it by going to the worlds of other Devourers?

Neither was feasible. Lacking the conditions for such an investigation, the matter had been continually postponed.

Now, well... there was an opportunity. With the data obtained from that base, coupled with the information spread online by the Devourers, Zheng Yichen analyzed a lot of information.

For instance, regarding the Devouring Faction’s use of the Devouring Sky Pillar... they may not be able to control the Devouring Sky Pillar after all.

Zheng Yichen asked Lilith to try to find potential vulnerabilities.

Lilith looked troubled as she looked at Zheng Yichen: "BOSS, although I’d like to do that, the Sky Pillar data we currently have isn’t comprehensive."

```

Attempting to build the Sky Pillar is still possible, but further in-depth research is beyond my capabilities.

From the information we have obtained, the Devouring Faction’s research on the Sky Pillar mostly focuses on the application of the Sky Pillar’s energy, rather than remodeling the Sky Pillar itself; they resemble users operating by a detailed instruction manual."

"Analyze it slowly." Zheng Yichen didn’t have any overly stringent demands, Lilith’s performance is powerful, but no matter how powerful, it cannot create something from nothing.

As Lilith said, the Devourers’ use and research on the Sky Pillar have serious problems.

In the midst of our conversation, this deactivated Devouring Sky Pillar completely collapsed.

Du Gang looked at the giant tree beside Zheng Yichen with amazement, marveling at the several-kilometer-high tree.

"I’ve seen a sacred tree called Katsura in some world, although this tree doesn’t quite reach that level, it does appear to have great potential."

"Not just potential." Zheng Yichen showed Du Gang a picture of the World Tree, and it was a high-definition photo taken by Zheng Yichen in the universe.

Seeing the planet that resembled a ping pong paddle, Du Gang slightly curled the corner of his mouth: "This is much more exaggerated than the sacred Katsura tree I’ve seen."

The Katsura tree he saw towered into the clouds, but there are too many things that can tower into clouds, mountains can also do that.

While this World Tree directly burst through the atmosphere.

"This tree is hard to cultivate." Du Gang said sincerely while looking at the World Tree that grew a bit more.

After uprooting three Devouring Sky Pillars, Zheng Yichen even used Earth Devouring, and only then was the World Tree within the Natural Divine Domain able to grow to this extent.

For it to grow to the extent of a mother tree, even hundreds of Devouring Sky Pillars might not be enough for Zheng Yichen.

"Let’s take it slow, I’ve got plenty of time, as long as I don’t die." Zheng Yichen looked at the fishing rod in his hand: "If I die, this weapon can still be passed down."

"Don’t speak of such inauspicious things, let’s move on to the next place." After uprooting the Devouring Sky Pillar, the land had become a giant crater.

It’s not that Zheng Yichen deliberately cleared everything clean; Oblivion inadvertently came with the Earth Devouring, literally carving out the land.

It was after the Devouring Sky Pillar had been uprooted that the vast root system beneath the ground collapsed, leading to the formation of the deep pit.

A pit with a radius of hundreds of kilometers speaks to how developed the root system of the Devouring Sky Pillar was.

This was just part of the root system, the remaining roots, after the collapse of the Sky Pillar, shattered and dissipated, returning to normal World Origin and merging back into this world; otherwise, the radius of this pit could be ten times larger...

Zheng Yichen didn’t think of forcibly retaining those forces; going after the Devouring Sky Pillar was legitimate work. He had to do it that way to uproot the Devouring Sky Pillar, otherwise with the vast root system, it would be impossible to destroy it in a normal manner.

This wasn’t a Sky Pillar spreading to another world that could be cut off by breaking it; this was the main body with strong self-healing abilities.

Even if he cut it down with a stronger attack, the vast root system would still exist, and the Devouring Sky Pillar could have a chance to recover; only a complete uprooting would suffice.

And uprooting inevitably brought about some special circumstances, and Zheng Yichen’s painful use of Earth Devouring could be said to be the most efficient way of eradication.

After the Devouring Sky Pillar was uprooted, and he continued to act that way, it would equate to robbery, turning into a new aggressor... although it’s not necessarily deemed by Dusk as an act endangering the world’s fundamental stability.

But Zheng Yichen didn’t want to test it out to see how generous Dusk really was on this matter.

The benefits have been secured, there’s no need to tempt fate.

Next, the Devouring Sky Pillar over here is still in operation, currently in the midst of invading another world, but the atmosphere on this side seems a bit off.

From afar, Zheng Yichen could feel the pervasive abnormal spiritual remnants in the environment.

These were not left by the living, but by a massive number of deceased who had released abnormal spirits due to excessive pain and despair before dying, causing those residuals to be deeply preserved...
