Chapter 1060: Chapter 775: Investigation Results

"It seems easy to confuse them." Looking at the two banners Zheng Yichen brought back, Little Holy Maiden Lillian reached out and touched one of them, showing a look of surprise: "This one was made by us... How could this happen?"

The moment she touched the item, Lillian felt the change in the Holy Domain banner, it had become even more perfect, despite her earlier efforts to make it as good as possible.

But now, after repeated confirmation, she could determine the difference between the current Holy Domain banner and the previous one.

While the difference might not seem huge, it’s the sort of gap that couldn’t be closed even with a decade or more, and if one’s talent isn’t outstanding enough, they could never achieve this level in their lifetime.

Or maybe one would reach a pinnacle moment in their life and be able to create such a banner then.

"Dusk processed it a bit, what do you think?"

"What do you mean what do I think, it’s reached the theorized best possible level, that’s quite exaggerated." Lillian muttered to herself, and handed the Holy Domain banner back to Zheng Yichen - now the main event was about to start.

The Great Holy Domain banner made from the World Tree’s primordial branches and leaves.

A special item sufficient to cover the entirety of Hazy City and then some.

"Let’s begin," Zheng Yichen shouted passionately, raising the Great Holy Domain banner high in his hand, and then planted the flag in the ground.

A pale green halo spread out, covering the entire Hazy City with a massive aura, temporarily even dispersing the city’s fog, though the mist quickly returned to normal.

However, those who were fighting felt something amiss.

The unusually active aberrant creatures started to become listless, while those combating the aberrant creatures felt an additional enhancement blessing them, and minor injuries began to heal.

The weapons in their hands seemed to have grown more powerful too.

Aberrant creatures that were previously difficult to eliminate quickly became corpses.

"Is this the work of some unknown person?" asked a member of a troop, gasping for breath after dealing with the aberrant creatures. They were prepared for a desperate fight, as the weapons that were effective just a few days prior had rapidly become less so, with the replacement rate not keeping up with the aberrant creatures’ growing strength.

But with the appearance of aberrant creatures, they had to battle on regardless, because one aberrant could lead to severe losses, and more people would die as a result.

The current situation reverted back to how it was about a fortnight ago when the aberrant creatures first became active and their weapons were still effective.

Furthermore, they felt revitalized, but with the death of the aberrants, this vigor quickly faded. Even so, it allowed them to deal with new emergencies.

"Report, we have received help from an unknown power, the target has been cleared," the captain of the troop quickly reported, and then received orders to provide support in another location.

It was not only them who had received assistance from this unknown power but others across various locations also felt the impact of this unidentified force.

The aberrant creatures were significantly weakened, and anyone fighting against them received an additional boost.

Striking while the iron is hot, they didn’t know how long this unknown power would last, but they were clear on seizing this opportunity to completely eradicate the aberrant creatures.

Even if this power disappeared later, the pressure they faced at Hazy City would be greatly alleviated.

"Not bad," Zheng Yichen nodded in satisfaction as he watched the projection screen conjured by Lilith, the aberrant creatures were again at a disadvantage, and the stability of Hazy City was rapidly recovering.

The normal daily activities would soon resume back to normal.

As for the big families in Hazy City, they had also exerted a lot of effort after the appearance of aberrant creatures; after all, this was their stronghold, and if Hazy City was doomed, much of their investment was doomed too.

"Of course, it is just dealing with the aberrant creatures," Lillian said with her arms crossed and a serious expression on her small face: "According to the ranking system you’ve set, the Holy Domain banner can directly suppress those aberrant creatures back to their original environment... or even weaker."

The material used was too good, so within the area covered by the Holy Domain banner, those aberrant creatures wouldn’t be able to dominate.

"In the future, experiments related to the aberrants will also be affected; however, that’s not something we need to consider now," Zheng Yichen said with a smile.

Maintaining stability is the most important thing now. After enjoying peace for a long time, whether people would start wanting to stir things up again, that’s a matter for the future.

Now? If someone were to seek out ’troublesome affairs’ with Zheng Yichen, he would not be the least bit courteous. What do the political interests of those people have to do with him?

What they need to consider are his actions here.

He had brought forth the Great Holy Domain banner for the vast majority of common people in Hazy City; as for those who traced back to this event’s solution and tried to gain some advantage—do they harbor such thoughts?

Patting the Holy Domain banner that was planted and rooted in the ground, this thing might look casually placed there, but if others do not know how to use it, they should not even think about pulling it out.

Unless they are capable of uprooting a good half of Hazy City.

Zheng Yichen returned to his room and, for a change, turned on the TV which had not been used for a long time, watching the news broadcast which mentioned the body tempering method seen before.

That method was widely popular, affecting various industries, necessitating sports to redesign new rules accordingly. However, these rules would change with the improvements brought by the body tempering method.

Many competitions were put on hold because of this, but some events that are less affected by physical strength, such as diving and shooting, proceeded as normal.

Then there was some content related to safety education. The world had changed, and keeping education in pace could avoid many casualties.

There was nothing Zheng Yichen wanted to see...

...Uh, wait, there it is.

After changing channels a few times, Zheng Yichen saw a muscular war correspondent, carrying a gun in one hand and a microphone in the other, loudly reporting on the battle in the combat zone.

In the background, many aberrant creatures could be seen being destroyed by heavy weaponry, and the reporter loudly reminded the viewers that such an advantage was due to the weakening of aberrant creatures.

This weakening was limited to Hazy City. People in other cities must not blindly follow suit and challenge the aberrant creatures they encounter — not even a large rat that doesn’t look very strong!

The war correspondent who was capable of reporting and fighting repeatedly emphasized this point.

Zheng Yichen began to understand why the reports related to Hazy City were a bit delayed.

Those people were clearly worried about others imitating Hazy City’s situation, leading them to misjudge their own capabilities and thus fatally overextend themselves.

Pretty cautious indeed.

Zheng Yichen nodded and continued to change the channel to check the situation in other places. There were also many live streams on the internet, and he could see many netizens’ comments about wanting to learn from Hazy City, wanting their families to move to Hazy City, and so on.

As for learning from Hazy City... that’s somewhat difficult. Even if he took out all the materials in his hand, it would be impossible to cover the entire planet. As for the World Tree itself? That would have to wait until the World Tree has fully grown.

In this process, he inevitably had to become the Guardian of the World Tree, to prevent others from coveting it.

All these factors added up mean that not only will Hazy City not be affected, its value is actually going to appreciate...

Zheng Yichen had no intention of changing anything about this. The situation in Hazy City was abnormal to begin with. Without the influence of the Holy Domain banner, it would inevitably become a disaster area. Recently, some people were eager to sell off properties in Hazy City and run away.

Now, having Lilith pull up the latest real estate information, sure enough, those in the housing industry had a keen sense of smell. The house prices here are now rapidly rebounding, skyrocketing... Fuck!

"Mador, why do I suddenly feel pissed off?" Zheng Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering discontentedly as he looked at information on the projection screens.

"Boss, you could first deactivate the Holy Domain banner, and the house prices would plummet immediately."

"...Forget it," Zheng Yichen waved his hand, deactivating was not a problem, but without the influence of the Holy Domain banner, there would definitely be more casualties. It was not worth causing a greater loss of life over this minor annoyance.

"Hey, I’m on my way to your place." Ahn Qi’s call came through, and through the Illusory Eye’s connection, he could see the Seventh Miss Ahn driving, looking quite relaxed.

She had been investigating for a while after returning to the Ahn family, and during this time, Ahn Ke had not returned home.

It wasn’t long before Ahn Qi arrived at Zheng Yichen’s residence.

Zheng Yichen could see that her car was loaded with weapons; at this time, only those capable dared to venture out casually.

Ahn Qi, owing to the impact of her transplanted arm, became one of the biggest beneficiaries after the world was balanced. Her lifeform level, which was already boosted by the arm, soared even higher as the world’s environment enhanced, putting her strength well beyond most aberrant creatures.

Now it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the foremost person in the Ahn family; her rate of becoming stronger was something that the vast majority of aberrant creatures could only dream of.

"I’ve got results from the investigation, the Ahn family has purged a batch of problematic people, but found no collusion with the Equilibrists," Ahn Qi said, getting straight to the point as soon as she arrived at Zheng Yichen’s Home.

This thorough investigation was to unequivocally clarify the matter since the impact was simply too great. In such a detailed investigation, naturally, numerous issues would be tangled up.

However, the Ahn family was aware of the existence of Dusk; they knew a lot of insider information since they originally cooperated with many Dusk mercenaries. These Dusk mercenaries could not reach the heights of a Proxy Agent but were capable of accessing other worlds.

As for their interactions with the Dusk mercenaries, it was generally not the younger generation of the Ahn family that was responsible.

The Ahn family, realizing that this world was balanced, although grateful for this happening, could not forego the necessary investigations.

They could benefit from this event, but they couldn’t be implicated in it. They had just received a complete set of Magic knowledge from a Proxy Agent and instantly got associated with the Equilibrists, thereby balancing their world? Do they really think Proxy Agents have no temper? Proxy Agents are directly ’supervised’ by Dusk, and there is no possibility of corruption in some of their core duties...
