Chapter 774: Chapter 570: This is Cheating_1

Apart from weapons and equipment, the Great World had also captured Dusk mercenaries who had enhanced themselves; their studies weren’t much different from that of those weapons and equipment...

It was clearly some monster’s bloodline, yet it naturally integrated into one’s body, granting the individual power equivalent to that of the monster. The body’s structure would change, but the appearance would not.

Of course, constrained by their overall body structure, those Dusk mercenaries didn’t have as high a Performance Coefficient in strength as the sources of the enhancement materials, but after accepting the enhancement from Dusk, that performance rate could be said to be maximized.

The starting point was inherently high, and as long as the individual had talent and determination, they could continue to advance. Such an enhancement was like having monsters as one’s parents, except that by some accident, one was born with a human form—a humanoid monster.

Dusk casually achieved this degree of enhancement; erasing the limitations placed on life span through Dusk wasn’t impossible for them, but for the Boundary Breakers entering Dusk was akin to seeking death. Any Boundary Breaker that stepped into the Dusk Territory would be casually erased by Dusk.

And at the edge of the Dusk domain, even if the Boundary Breakers beat drums and gongs, Dusk would not interfere in any way. If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

"I’m still doing okay; the impact on me is within an acceptable range. However, two of my colleagues were much less lucky," said Hong Yuan, wincing at the memory. Those two were among the slower ones who weren’t killed by Zheng Yichen but suffered severe injuries instead.

Having more of their lifespan sliced away, they looked over seventy when they were healed. For the human race, if twenty is considered the peak and living to one hundred and twenty is possible, then for those two God Descenders, it’s as if they’d had half of their lifespan taken away.

This not only affected their strength performance but also meant that the lifespan extension they would normally have enjoyed from increasing power was lost prematurely due to the half of the lifespan that had been cut. What’s more, it’s uncertain whether only half of the lifespan of those God Descenders was sliced away.

There’s currently no way to recuperate the slashed lifespan. As for the consequences of this failed operation, Hong Yuan could accept them. He had applied for the invasion, and after the failure of the operation, he had to pay a hefty price. But this kind of cost wasn’t lethal, while the Great World also obtained more information about the Proxy Agent.

It wasn’t that they performed too poorly this time, but rather, the strength of that Proxy Agent was too high. Even when they restricted the environment in which the opponent was situated and the negative powers they could utilize, they hadn’t anticipated that the Proxy Agent could wield the power of the Oath from that world. When dealing with the Oath Beast, it was as if they had opened up both the Oath Power and Counter-Oath Power simultaneously.

The Oath Beast was Hong Yuan’s extremely proud creation. It had an enhancing pattern where one link triggered the next, permitting the Oath Beast to enhance itself to almost unsolvable levels once it started operating, and also to break through the domains in the shortest time possible.

If the breach this time had been successful and that world had been incorporated into the Great World, he could have conducted further research on the Oath Beast. He intended to replicate it in other worlds to serve as a special Alien Phenomenon creature.

Even if efficiency in other worlds wouldn’t be as high, Hong Yuan was confident that once the breach began, he could complete the breaching of a new world within a week, instead of the slow accrual to a certain extent before breaching.

The breaching efficiency in the type of breach performed by the Oath Beast would be greatly increased, but unfortunately, the breach this time wasn’t successful. This meant the Great World was missing an important piece of the puzzle. As for a second invasion? There wouldn’t be an opportunity for that in the short term.

Without the Oath Beast as a coordinate, those Boundary Breakers couldn’t sustain a pivot point.

"Now, tell me why you’re here," Hong Yuan said, looking at Yue Heng whose appearance hadn’t changed at all.

"I want more detailed information about that Proxy Agent. The Oath Beast was your creation; you must have left yourself a way out."

Such a fallback might not be of much use, but it could afford Hong Yuan extra information. He placed great importance on Oath Power, so when that Proxy Agent deployed both Oath Power and Counter-Oath Power, how could Hong Yuan easily miss out?

"Hand it over to me, and we can put this matter to rest. Should there be any more actions regarding him, I’ll still be involved."

"Alright," Hong Yuan agreed straightforwardly. The things Yue Heng was requesting from him were among the easiest to handle. Black reversal light and exclusive information were much easier to deal with than other God Descenders.

He still had a pile of troubles to clear up, and ridding himself of one trouble was always good. Besides, Yue Heng would be joining the next operation, so there was even less reason for Hong Yuan to refuse.

Before its death, the Oath Beast indeed transmitted back records regarding the God painter. Before Yue Heng came to ask, Hong Yuan temporarily planned not to disclose it, intending to conduct private research before sharing it with the Great World, to further perfect the information regarding the Blood Extractor.

"There’s something I need to remind you of: The Blood Extractor’s growth rate is too rapid, and we’re currently in a phase of slow power enhancement. Following this trend, the gap between us will only grow wider and wider," Yue Heng warned.

"I know," Yue Heng said as he received what he came for and promptly left Hong Yuan’s domain, a place filled with a bizarre sense of distortion. In the Great World, they, the God Descenders, were each a lord of a domain.

The scope of the Great World was so vast that each of their domains was incredibly expansive. Some God Descenders, if they had the time, would even ’hunt for treasure’ within their own territories.

Within their territories, there were cities, countries, technology, martial arts, and magic, with an even greater number of ordinary people. For those ordinary people, their day-to-day life wasn’t much different from the normal world—watching the news to see what happened that day or even traveling to other places by car or airplane.

The destination for travel might just be the territory of other God Descenders.

Due to the influence of the lord Hong Yuan, there is a custom of researching creatures within his territory. This means that aside from normal development, there is a strong focus on areas related to these lords within the territories of God Descenders.

In Yue Heng’s territory, not to mention ordinary people, those who cultivate certain kinds of power all lean towards the power of moonlight. Even if they don’t cultivate similar powers, they possess a certain degree of purity in their strength, or rather, they follow a path of extremity.

There are also some God Descenders who basically take a hands-off approach to their territories. People in their territories can develop however they want, as long as the ultimate output flows into the lord’s hands.

Most territories are like this, and Yue Heng’s is no different. She basically does not interfere with what the people in her territory do, as long as the people continue to develop and expand. In the Great World, overpopulation is never an issue.

With the Great World constantly absorbing other worlds, there is an excess of land. Over ninety percent of it remains vast and empty, reminiscent of primordial chaos. This emptiness makes it very difficult for the forces within the territories of God Descenders to drag other territories into their wars.

With their own territories already challenging to manage, who would have the excess energy to launch conquests everywhere?

God Descenders are essentially the end producers of the Great World, yet even then, their power enhancement has become very slow. This is not a bottleneck that can be broken simply with resources and technology; their power will continue to rise over time.

But this kind of enhancement is slow compared to that Proxy Agent.

There doesn’t exist a significant difference in the flow of time between worlds, so if she fought Zheng Yichen after a few months, it means that he experienced approximately the same amount of time. And yet, within these few months, he grew to such an extent...

This is like a cheat!!

Those Boundary Breaking Faction members who consider themselves as Alien Phenomenon creatures "become gods" overnight, based on decades or even longer of groundwork, and the prerequisite of breaking through a world’s barrier. Afterward, these new God Descenders would be much like her, experiencing very slow power enhancements, unless they have special experiences.

Just like this time, she used Black Light to hone her power, greatly enhancing the quality of her strength. If she had followed a systematic cultivation routine, it would have taken at least a decade or two at least.

That Proxy Agent? It’s as if there’s no bottleneck at all, able to continuously improve rapidly. Can the bloodsucking ability really achieve such a level?

There are many blood-feeding beings in the Great World, and some God Descenders who can suck blood, too. These beings do grow rapidly but they also encounter their growth bottlenecks just as quickly. Once they hit that bottleneck, any further enhancements become minuscule. Sucking the blood of stronger beings?

They can suck, but they also have to be able to overcome their targets since blood-feeding beings at that level absorb not only blood but also the essence of their enemies. Even if a powerful being is willing to offer its blood, it’s pointless.

The blood normally shed by such creatures only offers a trivial enhancement, nowhere near enough to break through the bottleneck and surge in power.

Having one’s source of power drained does not equate to permanent damage to the power’s limit, which can be easily restored. Damage to the source is akin to a slashed life limit. While not as severe as an actual life limit cut and recoverable, the restoration takes an inordinately long time.

Therefore, those powerful enough who willingly allow their source of power to be drained, are most likely the parents of the blood-feeding creature.

Furthermore, many blood-feeding creatures lack the strength and can only draw normal blood; no matter how much they suck, they can’t reach the essence of power of those strong beings.

What category does Zheng Yichen fall into? Does he have bottlenecks but constantly overpowers stronger foes, continually drawing their blood to bypass his own limits? Or is his bottleneck so far away that he maintains rapid growth and is hardly close to touching it?

Looking at the records and intelligence provided by Hong Yuan, Yue Heng decides not to guess what type Zheng Yichen is in terms of possibilities; rather than focusing on that, it’s better to put more thought into enhancing herself.

Black reversal light—she needs more of that power to hone her own moonlight.

...

"30 merit points, still acceptable. Let’s begin," Zheng Yichen said within the Dusk Cathedral as he handed a pile of heavy materials over to Tia. You get what you pay for, and this time, enhancing his equipment with core materials taken from a God Simulation Engine would cost 30 merit points. Judging from his previous gains, it was clearly worthwhile.

Adding it all up, he had already spent more than two hundred merit points on his equipment...
