Chapter 327: Chapter 264: The Calm Oblivion_2

"It won’t happen for now, you are too weak at the moment."

"Can I recover faster here?"

Tia put down her stethoscope and turned to look at Zheng Yichen with her dusk-colored eyes, calmly saying, "You haven’t sustained any injuries, and you are healthier than anyone else right now."

"Hmm~ I understand. What will eventually become of this world? And what about those people?"

"This world will rot and disappear, the remaining Dusk Territories will merge with those from other worlds."

"Oh? Is it because there are still survivors?" Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised by the answer; Dusk seemed to not usually care about the creatures within the world.

Tia was noncommittal: "There are native Dusk mercenaries in this world."

Ah, so the roughly seven hundred native survivors are less significant than a single Dusk mercenary?

Zheng Yichen got dressed and prepared to leave the medical room. As he opened the door, Tia’s voice reached him: "It’s quite rare to encounter the scene of a world rotting and disappearing."

"Then I should take a good look at it, can it be recorded?"

"Yes."

From rot to disappearance, this world only had less than a week’s time. During this week, changes occurred every moment in the visible areas, with the decaying planet starting to collapse on the second day.

When the collapse occurred, the earth did not spew out lava but a dark liquid. Through this dark liquid, Zheng Yichen felt an aura similar to death, yet stronger than death itself; the sky turned from dark yellow to near black.

The sun in the sky had also reduced to a mere dark hollow outline, and at night the sky fell into total darkness void of light, making one lose their sense of direction while gazing at it.

The environment grew colder, but the dark liquid flowing from the collapsed planet did not freeze due to the low temperature. The Dusk Territory remained in a normal state while the survivors inside watched the world’s disintegration with fear, some even became mad to the point of self-harm and attacking their own kind.

Before the survivors could be purged by their fellow humans, they were cleaned up by the Dusk nuns.

On the fifth day, the Dusk Territory became a ’floating’ island; Zheng Yichen could no longer see the existence of the planet beneath his feet. Any light thrown out of this island was devoured by the darkness.

The only light source that could be seen outside the lonely island was that dim yellow circular outline, which was where the sun used to be.

"What would happen if I jumped out now?"

Zheng Yichen stood next to Tia, looking at the endless darkness outside the Dusk lone island and asked.

"You would rot."

"That outline is the last afterglow of this world, isn’t it?" Zheng Yichen asked, looking towards the sun’s location.

"The afterglow will disappear soon."

Tia’s words sounded like a proclamation; the yellow circle outline fractured. The initial fracture was very fine, like a thin line, and then the broken parts began to expand rapidly, consuming the circular outline as if counting down.

"I thought this process would be very spectacular." Zheng Yichen sighed. The rotting of this world was ’gentle,’ and to the creatures within the world, due to the difference in scale, seeing the planet collapse and spew out a large amount of black liquid because of rot would feel shocking.

But when you expand that to the entire world, it’s like the rotting of a body after death, there isn’t going to be any spectacular scene, unless the person rises from the dead as a zombie.

What Zheng Yichen saw now was just like that: no earth-shattering special effects, no dazzling explosions. The light of the world gradually dimmed, the intact ground at the edge of the Dusk Cathedral was swallowed by darkness, and everything calmly decayed into the quiet of darkness.

"This is decay, not explosion," he mused.

Prioress Tia, untouched by the sentiment swirling in Zheng Yichen’s mind, watched calmly as the ring in the sky was progressively nibbled by darkness, the last sliver of light lost amid the gloom, including the Dusk Territory. A sense of doom jolted Zheng Yichen, leaving an indelible impression in his heart.

The next moment, light returned to their surroundings, and the noise of voices around him picked up. Zheng Yichen blinked in astonishment at the passersby walking by, who cast puzzled glances at him standing in the doorway and at Prioress Tia by his side.

They then walked past Zheng Yichen into the Dusk Cathedral; this was a normal world!

"Is, is that it?" Zheng Yichen’s eyes twitched slightly; this was different from what he had expected.

"It’s over." Tia turned and walked into the Dusk Cathedral, while Zheng Yichen took a couple of steps forward. The style of the Dusk Cathedral was almost identical to that of the disappearing world, showing no discernible difference.

The people around also seemed very normal; there was nothing amiss.

"Little brother, did you get separated from your parents?"

A girl’s voice came over, and Zheng Yichen looked down to see legs, then looked up to find a smiling girl.

"My home is right here." Zheng Yichen shook his head and ran into the Dusk Cathedral. The interior of the Dusk Cathedral seemed even larger, and at this moment, the expressions on the survivors were extremely vivid, tinged with an indescribable confusion.

Some even wanted to leave the Dusk Cathedral now. These people lacked the adaptability to Dusk. Previously, they stayed in Dusk with nowhere else to go, but now that the Dusk Territory had seamlessly merged with another world, they were less inclined to stay here for long.

"I can’t stand it! The dusky colors here are just like that obliteration; I want to leave this place!" A native survivor trembled all over, speaking sensitively as he grabbed his luggage and ran out of the Dusk Cathedral, followed by many more survivors leaving...

Zheng Yichen, watching those fleeing survivors, said with a hint of helplessness, "Quite a few of the people here are going to be caught."

The merge was seamless, and even after the use of the merge, people in Dusk hadn’t noticed anything amiss. But as these undocumented folks left, they would step out of Dusk’s influence, likely leading to some being caught.

Then the authorities of this world would further investigate the existence of Dusk... Well, Dusk never cared about such matters.

Monili, though somewhat helpless, didn’t intercept too much. Since it was a normal world, it seemed unnecessary to stop those wanting to leave. Survivors gathered together to better survive, and now they had a normal environment.

If people wanted to leave, they couldn’t be forcibly detained. Keep it secret? It was too late for that now. They’d better wait for her brother to come back to discuss it, as not everyone wanted to leave immediately anyway. The solid group left behind by Leader Essen showed no desire to leave.

"What kind of state is this world in?"

Watching the nuns move about within the Dusk Cathedral, with their numbers exceeding fifteen, Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue. This world must have a booming population: "I’m going out for a walk."

Neither the nuns from this original world nor Prioress Tia paid much attention to Zheng Yichen as he left.

Walking on the main streets of this world, Zheng Yichen observed various things. Judging by the goods available in the stores, the technological level of this world seemed weaker compared to Chiang Wei’s.

In the sky, he could see airships passing by; the smartphones used by passersby were also very common in Zheng Yichen’s experience. The style of vehicles on the street was similar; this world seemed to heavily advocate environmental protection...
