Chapter 757: Chapter 563: You Have a Big Mine Now_1
```
The young white dragon flying back and forth did not attract much attention; instead, some found the white youngling quite cute and wanted to feed it.
Facing the feeding from the Dusk mercenaries, the white young dragon shook its tail and flew straight to another place.
"That young dragon... is very strong." A Dusk Mercenary, watching the frolicking young white dragon, said with certainty. They had been to many worlds and seen many dragons, but winged giant dragons were the most common, whereas Divine Dragons were quite rare.
But abundant numbers do not necessarily mean weakness, and this young dragon, with scales like white jade, was proof of that.
"A Proxy Agent’s dragon being somewhat special is normal; let’s not talk about her. What about this machine... how is it?"
"It’s very powerful. Facing a few God Descenders, all of us together could barely resist. If we faced this machine directly, we’d likely be wiped out in no time."
The talking Dusk mercenary reached out to touch the somewhat weathered and decaying shell of the God Simulation Engine at his feet: "This material shouldn’t have this problem, just what is the power of that Proxy Agent...?"
From the performance in battle, Zheng Yichen’s attacks were of that martial arts expert type, carrying a blood-red aura, which was the signature color of magic powers. The dark red blade light he emitted was also incredibly rampant, with destructive power, but that alone shouldn’t have caused the God Simulation Engine’s shell to deteriorate like this.
"The corrosion has significantly weakened the material’s strength; however, this is good. It will be easier to develop after this. Once re-smelted, it can be remade through Dusk. By that time, even if we encounter the same machine, we’ll be able to contend with it."
They had no doubts about the craftsmanship of Dusk. As for whether equipment made from the God Simulation Engine could stand up to one... that was not impossible. While the God Simulation Engine was massive, if the equipment made could withstand the power of the God Simulation Engine, the wearer could infiltrate and destroy it from the inside.
The key issue was not the size, but whether it could resist certain external influences and whether the attacks could penetrate the defense.
Being able to breach the defense meant there was a chance to directly damage the God Simulation Engine.
"This thing will keep us busy developing for more than twenty years. The heritage of the Great World..." Two Dusk mercenaries said, shaking their heads. The foundation of the Great World was indeed rich, and the Dusk mercenaries, even combined, weren’t exactly about saving the world sincerely.
It was more about securing more benefits, accessing more possibilities through Dusk. As for counterattacking the Great World? Forget about it. Although, if counterattacking succeeded, the initiator might become the foremost beneath Dusk.
Countless merit points represent countless possibilities.
Some Dusk mercenaries pursued these, but also knew that such an endeavor was nearly impossible, while others were driven by a passion to eliminate the underlying threats from the Great World, as every ordeal from there meant a multitude of lives perishing within a world.
"We can’t compare in terms of heritage, but after that thing from the Great World was destroyed here, they’d be heartbroken too, right? There are also other biological weapons; it’s a pity they’ve all decayed, otherwise, they would have had research value as well."
One Dusk mercenary expressed regret, but having this one God Simulation Engine was not bad. As for the actions of non-organizational Dusk mercenaries, they had to turn a blind eye—after all, the remains of the God Simulation Engine currently belonged to the Proxy Agents.
But they weren’t worried. The remains of the God Simulation Engine were too sturdy; other Dusk mercenaries could only attempt to collect materials from more fragile places, whereas the remains of the God Simulation Engine itself were the primary wealth.
They also had no intention of trying to enlist a Proxy Agent. Being with a Proxy Agent meant that all the bounty rewards were close to the base guarantee. Every Dusk Mercenary Group desired an in-house Proxy Agent but didn’t want to share their missions with one.
They formed organizations for the purpose of completing tasks more efficiently and to obtain more merit points—not to scrape by with just the guaranteed minimum.
The next day, the vicinity became lively. The local military, journalists, and others all arrived with shocked expressions as they looked at the remains of the God Simulation Engine, unable to imagine what kind of a battle had taken place here, that such a colossal machine capable of easily destroying cities had fallen.
But seeing the traces of the battle and the aerial view broadcast live by journalists, survivors waiting for news from other areas felt a sense of relief from having survived a catastrophe.
The Dusk mercenaries, after a night of revelry and treasure hunting, were also winding down. What could be taken had been taken; those items that couldn’t be moved remained, leaving behind Dusk mercenaries with the sense not to overestimate their abilities.
Now the Proxy Agents could treasure hunt here freely, but the Proxy Agents would not remain here forever. Waiting for the Proxy Agents to leave, those who came out with treasures would find leaving not so easy.
Therefore, as Zheng Yichen left, those Dusk mercenaries who had not joined an organization but who had their fill of treasure hunting also prepared to leave with him.
Not to mention the merit points, the gains from the remains of the God Simulation Engine alone constituted a huge profit. The God Simulation Engine was like a whale fall...

"I am deeply grateful for your contribution, yet regrettably, our native world can offer little in return." An Oath Keeper said somewhat ashamedly to Zheng Yichen as he prepared to depart.
Having been the main force in yesterday’s battle, Zheng Yichen appeared as a very ordinary young man in his non-combat state, barely showing any trace of the blood-drenched, rampaging Asura temperament from the previous day.
"No repayment is needed, for this matter is part of my job." Zheng Yichen waved his hand gently, "I wish for your world to recover and prosper swiftly."
As he said this, he glanced at the remains of the God Simulation Engine, "After all, you now have a large mine."
The other Oath Keepers also looked towards the wreckage of the God Simulation Engine. It was indeed a substantial mine, but the Dusk mercenaries left behind didn’t seem as ’generous’ as this young Proxy Agent in front of them. After his departure, there would surely be a series of negotiations with these mercenaries, leading to the signing of new agreements.
It wouldn’t lead to war, for last night the Dusk mercenaries had already approached them for negotiations, smartly not mentioning anything about ownership and development of the God Simulation Engine. Discussing that before the Proxy Agent had left would have been too disrespectful, wouldn’t it?
The main subject of the Dusk mercenary’s negotiation was an invitation for eligible individuals from their world. After all, their world had been invaded by the Great World, and there was still the possibility of being targeted in the future, not to mention they now knew the truth about the Dusk.
Therefore, they ought to develop more Dusk mercenaries on their own. The beginning stages for becoming a Dusk mercenary are quite challenging, and joining the Dusk Mercenary Group provides stability through such a difficult period.
This was seen as a gesture of goodwill from the Dusk Mercenary Group, completely avoiding the topic of the God Simulation Engine’s development and distribution. However, the content of the negotiations already implied that their world would surely focus on the selection of Dusk mercenaries and collaborate with those mercenary organizations.
Securing such cooperation would mean that future dealings with the God Simulation Engine’s remains would be akin to discussions and distributions among ’insiders’, potentially avoiding many conflicts.
However... considering that their world had just been hit by a devastating weapon, not unlike a nuclear bomb in its massive destructive power, which laid waste across the land and major cities, triggering all sorts of seismic natural disasters.
In the numerous casualties, many potential Dusk mercenaries may be found.
Then there’s the multitude of internal conflicts to come, all of which will take time to resolve. The human system of their world was already weakened, and enduring further turmoil would only make the restoration of normal order even more challenging.
"Whether it’s work or voluntary, the fact that you saved this world stands."
"Hahaha, it wasn’t me, it was us. Your efforts won’t be overshadowed by one person’s glory," Zheng Yichen laughed, acknowledging that many Dusk mercenaries who fought in the battle had died, but even more Oath Keepers had fallen!
The surviving Oath Keepers were truly the saviors of their world, and for some time to come, their fame in this world would soar to great heights.
"Others must have recordings of the battle, you can make good use of that. Pretend I wasn’t even here," said Zheng Yichen as he mounted his motorcycle. The young dragon Tanshia Firlo stood on the back seat, waving her wings and crying out with loud ’wa wu wa wu’ sounds.
It might have been Dragon Language or simply nonsensical shouts of excitement.
As Zheng Yichen started the motorcycle, the young dragon’s tiny claws rested on his shoulders, and her outspread wings folded in. Despite her youth, Tanshia Firlo, endowed with inherited memories, did not lack common sense.
She knew that keeping her wings open would mean being tossed off like a kite due to wind resistance.
Zheng Yichen left decisively, and the remaining Dusk mercenaries also packed up their belongings and began their journey home.
They were not short of transportation. The individuals from the native world had brought a wealth of vehicles with them. Simply by trading some shallow cultivation methods or training practices, which were of basic use to them, they could obtain quite decent vehicles in return.
"Sigh...left so easily and freely?" Watching Zheng Yichen leave ’without a care,’ the present Oath Keepers couldn’t help but sigh, his departure thus avoiding the nuisance of follow-up interviews.
These Oath Keepers who participated in the war would inevitably face such dealings. This devastated world needed an inspiring round of interviews to further alleviate the survivors’ unease.
They had to step forward, but this was not something to make them tense. They had fought with an Oath Beast carrying a world-ending Oath, what else could cause them anxiety?
If there was any tension left, it was due to the massive rifts in the sky and the fragmented traces the Chains of Oath from the Oath Beast left as they spread through space.
In the sky, a recorder in a helicopter captured the scene of the Dusk mercenaries following the lead of the Proxy Agent as they departed...
