Chapter 1207: Chapter 873: Not Now
Ahn Ke seemed quite obsessed with Zheng Yichen’s enlargement.
The next day, she hastily dragged Zheng Yichen to the southern forest.
This left Lin Yaoyao, who planned to find Zheng Yichen, a bit frustrated.
"What’s the point of getting bigger..." Zheng Yichen, being pulled over by Ahn Ke who was full of anticipation, used his Alien Phenomenon attack on a tree after pulling her to his back.
In that instant, Ahn Ke felt as though she was in the starry sky, with Zheng Yichen’s body resembling a planet, and a massive hand crushing down from the sky, turning the tree into ashes on the spot.
"That’s it." The phenomenon vanished, and Zheng Yichen clapped his hands together, as if he had done something trivial, which was essentially the case, because Alien Phenomenon attacks could be small or large.
The larger the Alien Phenomenon attack, the greater the consumption needed to fill it; becoming stars like the attack just shown by Zheng Yichen appeared quite intimidating, but most of it was illusionary.
Most of the area conveyed only a sense of contact, lacking substantial lethality, making it effective for intimidation.
However, if Zheng Yichen gathered enough strength to fill the phenomenon in his attack, he could indeed shatter a planet with a single strike.
As for environmental limitations and such influences, while the attack part within the phenomenon is illusory, the part manifested by the phenomenon is solid.
"...This isn’t quite what I expected." Ahn Ke expressed regret; she initially thought Zheng Yichen’s ability directly altered mass, but it turned out to be a form of phenomenon.
The illusions of phenomenon were practically commonplace for people from Hazy City. Up close now, Ahn Ke didn’t feel as much impact.
But, in terms of scenery, the phenomenon attack created by Zheng Yichen was still quite spectacular.
"You aren’t thinking of studying giants, right?"
Ahn Ke nodded: "I’m interested in the Transformation technique, but I’ve encountered many obstacles in this research, so I wanted to try breakthroughs from different perspectives."
The reality was that she anticipated too much. Transformation technique is a type of magic that is quite complete in altering individuals, whereas the technology she possessed couldn’t achieve this.
"You’re taking on too much, speaking of the things you wish to research." Zheng Yichen chuckled to Ahn Ke, as the phenomenon attack hadn’t caused much impact.
He had merely focused his attack within a small range which only Ahn Ke, who was close to Zheng Yichen, could see. Others from afar couldn’t perceive these.
"The more I understand you, the more pointless I feel my research is." Ahn Ke sighed lightly; Zheng Yichen’s growth was rapid, and even though she had researched many unique outcomes, they rendered little practical assistance to Zheng Yichen.
"Who said that? Both the Essence of Life and the Life Archive benefited me greatly."
Ahn Ke glanced at Zheng Yichen: "I can’t rest on my laurels, can I? I don’t want to be complacent just because of such achievements."
Moreover, the research on Essence of Life and Life Archive isn’t exclusive. Without corresponding materials, she couldn’t independently study and derive the results.
"Let’s put it this way: Think about how long we’ve known each other, not even two years. Research usually spans over decades; why rush?"
"Seeing you grow so fast, how can I not be anxious? Let’s head to the lab."
In the laboratory, Ahn Ke conducted a detailed examination of Zheng Yichen again. Unsurprisingly, Zheng Yichen’s physique had undergone changes once more.
Although still human, compared to humans, he seemed unfit for a human title; previously, some elements in Zheng Yichen’s body could serve as human references.
Now, most information about him wasn’t suitable for reference. Ahn Ke conducted a small experiment, expressing surprise: "Your Withering Disease seems to have eased."
The ’Withering Disease’ carried in Zheng Yichen’s blood had always been present, which didn’t affect Zheng Yichen himself. However, if his blood was used for other research, organisms infused with his blood would develop this issue.
"It’s a good thing." Zheng Yichen pondered; recently, during moments of extreme weakness, he hadn’t shown signs of Withering Disease, which ideally should never occur, lest it suddenly erupt and strike harshly.
"But it means your blood could be freely used for research." Ahn Ke was somewhat worried, for Zheng Yichen’s unique Withering Disease was an exceptional theft deterrent.
"You’re overthinking." Zheng Yichen watched the small animal transformed by Ahn Ke. This little white mouse now had red fur all over, unable to cover its explosive-like muscles.
As time passed, the mouse’s muscles continued to twitch violently. The nearby equipment continuously infused it with nutrient solutions to stabilize its bodily state.
Otherwise, the little mouse would’ve long died due to vigorous change, exhausting its nutrition.
Even with a large amount of nutrient fluid injected, the little mouse’s condition remained poor, oscillating between strength and weakness.
Despite the absence of Withering Disease, the little mouse influenced by his blood couldn’t withstand the enhancement, and not only that, Zheng Yichen sensed a lingering will within this mouse.
This will was related to him. Though it lacked independent thinking capability, it was connected to him, allowing Zheng Yichen to exert some influence through the linkage of will.
He snapped his fingers, and the rapidly changing white mouse screamed, emitting crackling sounds from its body, which quickly twisted into a new life form.
This transformation was recreated by Zheng Yichen using the Ark of Life, through linking the will attached to the white mouse.
However, it can only be recreated once like this; the will remains, but this life form has reached its limit. If the Ark of Life is used for another recreation, it will either lose control and collapse, mutate into a monster, or die directly.
In this recreation, its soul is still that of the white mouse, but the essence of the body has changed.
"What have I become exactly?" Zheng Yichen looked at the white mouse whose life form had changed, but its soul hadn’t. Without Ahn Ke’s experiment, he himself had not noticed this detail.
"Based on previous detection records, you are human," Ahn Ke said beside him. She had kept every physical examination record of Zheng Yichen.
Comparing those records shows that each enhancement of Zheng Yichen was optimized and promoted on the original basis, without altering the essential part; yet the optimization was too intense.
As a result, once these detection records are interrupted, they become incomprehensible.
Even skipping one record makes the comparison like between Superman and an ordinary person.
But if continuous, there’s no doubt, it’s Zheng Yichen himself.
"It’s just that now I feel increasingly unlike a human." Zheng Yichen looked at the reconstructed white mouse, and the independent will associated with him still exists, allowing him to exert new influences on the mouse.
For example, influencing the actions of this white mouse.
But where does this independent will originate?
After releasing some blood for new attempts, he can finally confirm it’s related to the Ark of Life.
Ancient Venerable belonged to the World Creator, so the Great Evil God he encountered in the world of Evil Spirits was considered a World Creator too?
Just that compared to Ancient Venerable, it’s obvious Ancient Venerable is more powerful; the Great Evil God had issues while Ancient Venerable didn’t. Even leaving remains as a vital fallback insurance in his world.
Unfortunately, descendants were disappointing, as they used this insurance to undermine their own world.
"Such a formidable ability, the Withering Disease part in the blood was eliminated, yet it possesses independent will. The Ark of Life achieved this level..." Ahn Ke conducted a brand-new check on the white mouse and gazed at Zheng Yichen with burning eyes.
She wasn’t frightened by Zheng Yichen’s uniqueness, on the contrary, she felt an indescribable excitement.
From the Ancient Venerable intelligence brought by Zheng Yichen, she learned about the World Creator, looking at the Great Evil God’s situation, that thing counts as a World Creator as well?
Which means Zheng Yichen himself now combines the characteristics of two World Creators.
One day, Zheng Yichen would become an existence like the World Creator, right?
"I’m very much looking forward to the day when you become a World Creator."
"Why would I want to become such an existence?" Zheng Yichen immediately shook his head, the position of that existence was too high. If it hadn’t been for his unlucky choice being selected by Dusk, he’d still be an ordinary Alien Phenomenon hunter now.
"Even if you don’t want to, as long as you continue growing, one day you’ll reach that level, right?"
"That’s something for later; you continue your research." Zheng Yichen left Ahn Ke’s laboratory.
Although he felt as he mastered more strength, he increasingly felt unlike a person, it didn’t affect his mood. The Ark of Life’s ability extension seemed to allow him to do other things in the future...
Doesn’t seem to have much use?
Still the same, he can handle high-end battles himself, for low-end battles, the Ark of Life is rarely needed, just toss some Blood Puppets or Hellfire and it’s more than enough.
Creation-related power in combat never seems to be as effective as destructive power.
As for cultivating a world’s creatures or something, Zheng Yichen didn’t have the heart nor the strength.
With such thoughts, Zheng Yichen arrived at the Dusk Cathedral and found Tia.
"I heard from Du Gang that Dusk will arrange suitable growth paths for Proxy Agents. So what does my current situation count as?" Zheng Yichen seriously looked at Tia, asking the doubts in his heart.
"It’s your own choice." Faced with Zheng Yichen’s query, Tia calmly replied: "The world you engaged with is suitable for your growth, but the growth choice isn’t a single-option question; different choices will affect your present."
"Then does my future have the possibility of clearing the Boundary Breaking Faction?"
"Not currently."
