Chapter 1045: Chapter 761: As Long as the Hands Move Fast Enough

Two hours later, as Zheng Yichen was contemplating whether to go out and take a beating to let the world’s atmosphere calm down a bit, the thunderstorm outside finally dissipated.

Having lifted the Divine Domain, the environment still brimmed with the scorching heat of the planet from the Wild Ancient era; if not for his superior gear, the soles of his feet would have caught fire by now.

"It seems all is well now," Du Gang commented as he looked up at the gloomy sky.

Just as Zheng Yichen was about to say something, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for his crown. Du Gang couldn’t help but show a sympathetic expression, shook his head, and didn’t say much more—certain powers come with a price after their use.

From what can be seen, the price Zheng Yichen has paid is relatively low.

"Cough, let’s go, we continue our duties!" Du Gang nodded. The Devourers seemed to have been dealt with, but there were still plenty of residual issues left, a lot of time had been lost, and there was still one Devouring Sky Pillar left to deal with.

The presence of armed forces near that Devouring Sky Pillar didn’t stop them; the lessons of the past had already made these people see the reality.

Interception was pointless, and as for making away with even more information before Zheng Yichen’s arrival, such was inevitable.

Zheng Yichen didn’t say anything. After destroying the Devouring Sky Pillar, Du Gang’s expression turned cold: "Next is the purge of information, and there are names on the list that need to be cleared."

Those on the list had better be prepared to pay the price for their orders; it’s possible that some of them were associated with the Devourers. The Devourers eloped; these folks had no chance to flee.

Best for those involved to die cleanly.

However, what followed was not a big deal. It took a week to complete a major information purge.

Though it was impossible to ensure that all information about the Devouring Sky Pillar was completely dealt with, clearing most of it was enough. If people in this world could create the Dusk Extermination Order from that kind of severely incomplete information,

then one can only say the people in this world are extraordinarily unlucky. They have done their utmost to prevent such problems, even without considering whether the people of this world would be grateful.

For some people in this world, that week was too dark; those who had once been involved with the Devourers all met with grim fates, unable to even utter lies in front of Zheng Yichen.

His soul control ability made it impossible for the indigenous inhabitants associated with the Devourers to conceal any information. Catch one fish, and the rest can’t escape.

Additionally, the hidden parts of information relating to the Devouring Sky Pillar could be extra thoroughly cleansed.

As for the turmoil on the internet, that was caused by Lilith. Some hackers who tried to preserve the Devouring Sky Pillar directly encountered annihilation by the network specter, who invaded along the cables.

In the midst of such thorough purging, the world was in no small upheaval. Many scheming individuals tried to take advantage of the chaos, only to die even more miserably.

Zheng Yichen and Du Gang could operate separately; Lilith’s extremely high mobility allowed Zheng Yichen to reach any location in a short time.

Upon arrival at the scene, those terrorists and dark evil forces died on the spot, becoming death statues preserved for eternity in the Death God Domain, serving as warning signs for those with ulterior motives.

"I always feel like this is somewhat excessive," Zheng Yichen said as he yawned, looking at the Dusk milestone within reach. They hadn’t rested much over the week, practically running about non-stop. In fact, by the fifth day, the world was already in a state of heightened peace.

There were no terrorists, no invasive authoritarian nations; all awaited ’cleansing’ quietly. Those who didn’t seek death didn’t die.

In the remaining two days, Du Gang and Zheng Yichen were basically fishing; while the situation was stable, some couldn’t help but leap out. They had to step out.

The chance to seize great power was there only once; miss it and there would be no more opportunities, and one might even get purged because of earlier preparations, without the need for those two terrifying invaders to continue their vast purge.

However, once these individuals stepped out, they were firstly cleansed by Zheng Yichen and Du Gang. Some matters, if you’re going to do them, finish them completely.

You can’t quit halfway. By the time they were ready to leave, the world’s situation had largely stabilized.

Primarily in this period, the new authorities realized the essence of the problem: the two terrifyingly powerful beings apparently only aimed to clear away everything related to the Devourers.

Anyone associated with them had no chance of escape; those not involved, as long as they weren’t creating chaos leading to mass casualties, were untouched, while those contemplating such actions were the first to go to their death.

Although the methods were violent and unruly, it was like a high-speed surgery, swiftly excising all problematic aspects, and not fatally so.

Without those cancerous growths, the stabilization of the world situation became much easier. During this time, many could not access the internet normally, but aside from that, many ordinary people did not perceive the changes in the world.

The war between Proxy Agents and Devourers has also become a secret file in this world, and coincidentally, several ’unresolved mysteries’ of pits now dot this world.

The Dusk Cathedral has also, for the first time, come into the views of the new higher-ups of this world; they will arrange for suitable individuals to get in touch with the Dusk Cathedral. Of course, there are those who will attempt to court death, only to be cleared away by Dusk.

"What is this ’somewhat excessive’? If the Dusk Extermination Order were actually issued, that would be excessive. This is merely like removing a tumor," Du Gang saw things clearly; having completed the Dusk Extermination Order before, he felt these were all minor issues.

The ones who died had hardly any innocents among them.

"Hey, I’m just saying. It’s all done," Zheng Yichen stretched his body, letting out a series of pops. After being busy for so long, he was finally able to go rest.

And take a look at Dusk’s settlement.

He and Du Gang entered the Dusk Cathedral under the watchful eyes of some special agents, and unsurprisingly, Zheng Yichen’s Dusk nun Tia was there.

"Is this emergency mission considered a normal type of task?"

"Yes, it is." Tia handed a small notebook to Zheng Yichen.

Glancing at the numbers, Zheng Yichen widened his eyes: "+55? That generous?"

"You can regard it as a special circumstance." Tia remained expressionless, as she took the notebook back after Zheng Yichen confirmed the merit points he had acquired.

"If I can, I would want such special circumstances to happen more often."

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure." Zheng Yichen noticed that Tia had become more proactive in their communication, but this proactiveness somehow made him uneasy.

After visiting Du Gang, he also confirmed his gains.

"30 merit points, not bad at all." Du Gang found a place to sit down, opened two bottles of wine, and spoke cheerfully, having not expected to gain anything this time.

But acquiring thirty merit points from an emergency mission was indeed an unexpected delight.

"I think it’s still a bit less. After all, we cleared out a Devouring Faction; wouldn’t it be reasonable to get a hundred merit points?"

"It’s not unreasonable, I even think it’s too little." After drinking two sips, Du Gang loudly exclaimed with gusto: "A Devouring Faction could harm so many worlds. Just the expense of merit points for arranging Dusk mercenaries goes beyond a hundred."

They had taken down a Devouring Faction, how could a hundred points be enough? They deserved a thousand!

However, Dusk has always been like this on the individual level, not considering collective contributions.

"Why don’t you ask your Dusk nun? She seems quite eager to interact with you."

"Forget it, the more proactive she is in interacting with me, the more unsettled I become."

"Indeed." Du Gang sincerely nodded. The existence of Dusk nuns, with the backing of Dusk, became unnerving when they were too enthusiastic.

"Drink up—then head back and rest well."

Zheng Yichen clinked his glass with the one in Du Gang’s hand, while Tanshia Firlo in his personal space started to growl discontentedly.

After letting out the small white dragon, it rolled its eyes at Zheng Yichen: "I’ve been very tired these past few days too!"

"Hahaha, well done!" Laughing, Du Gang grabbed another bottle of Wine God brew and stuffed it into the arms of the small white dragon: "All yours."

Tanshia Firlo had put in a fair amount of effort these past few days as well.

Zheng Yichen reached out and patted the small white dragon’s head: "Alright, just don’t drink too much."

Not long after, several delivery men arrived and the one delivering food widened his eyes upon seeing Tanshia Firlo, hesitating to speak.

It wasn’t entirely because the small white dragon was cute, but rather because the appearance of someone like her drinking alcohol seemed rather odd, right?

"The delivery industry in this world is quite dedicated. They resumed operations shortly after the network recovery." Zheng Yichen unwrapped the takeaways and started eating with Du Gang.

"Life, isn’t it just like that? Even when massive upheaval occurs, it doesn’t affect the ordinary people," Du Gang said with a smile: "It’s because we acted quickly."

As long as they acted swiftly enough, ordinary people wouldn’t sense any change.

Additionally, it helped some modern natives who couldn’t shake off their web addiction to kick the habit for a few days.

As for the economic impacts brought to this world, that was something they couldn’t solve. So what they could do was to help clear more tumors for the humans of this world.

With those tumors gone, the economy, no matter how affected, would recover quickly. The newly appointed ones now all carried the Sword of Damocles with them.

Even if they left, the subsequent impacts they brought would linger for a considerable time.

After eating and drinking well, Zheng Yichen patted the small white dragon’s head and came back to Tia to ask another question: "How many merit points do I need to enhance myself with a Sky Pillar crystal now?"

"486."

"Sounds like it hasn’t decreased much," Zheng Yichen muttered, feeling a bit disappointed. After all, the number of Devourers he killed in this world wasn’t that high.

The Devourers were living people too; they wouldn’t line up to be slain. Instead, more Devourers were being betrayed and killed by their own kind.

In any case, dying is dying. How good would it be to die by his hand...
