Chapter 943: Chapter 676 The Waypoint Station
"I’ll go with Sister Nelliwey." Lillian stood beside Nelliwey, hands on her hips, sizing up Zheng Yichen, "You’ve recovered?"
"I was healthy to begin with...you..." Zheng Yichen said, looking toward Nelliwey. The Luminous Holy Maiden seemed a bit helpless as she spoke, "Lillian convinced the True God, and he agreed to let her come with me."
Attempting to visit another world would have a significant impact on them. This would affect not only the sacred blessings given to the Luminous Holy Maiden by the True God but also the influence of Environmental Adjustment and so forth. It might not be safe for them to cross directly.
With a lower energy level, magic’s strength would weaken, whereas the power of technological weapons would play a much larger role.
"Then let’s go together." Zheng Yichen didn’t mind an extra person; even a few more made little difference. After all, these Holy Maidens were not bad, and visiting Hazy City was just a formality.
Just hope that the kid, Lillian, doesn’t get hooked on the internet.
"What kind of world is this transfer world you’re talking about?" Lillian asked curiously.
"The transfer world, eh? You’ll understand once we get there." Zheng Yichen found it troublesome to explain, he hadn’t been to Du Gang’s world, even less so to Weaginia’s world. It was hard to explain, so it was better to just see for oneself.
The Dusk Cathedral, Green Dragon Garel, Golden Dragon Denas, and Weaginia, the nurture instructor of the Dragon Tribe from another world, were all here.
"Later on, you’ll stay in my inner space," Zheng Yichen told Ahn Ke and the others, including the two Luminous Holy Maidens present.
With that, upon arriving in the world-crossing room, the number of people was reduced to three.
Denas certainly wouldn’t come along; as the Clan Leader, he had to manage everything. Garel wouldn’t go to Hazy City, but later Weaginia would personally bring him back, so there was nothing for Zheng Yichen to worry about.
Inside the World-Crossing Room, Zheng Yichen asked Weaginia, "You didn’t spend all your merit points on this kind of exchange, did you?"
Weaginia shook her head, "Of course not, crossing worlds is just a small part of the expenses. We have an annual budget of fifty to a hundred merit points for this."
The budget wasn’t too much or too little. They were dragons, and gaining merit points wasn’t difficult for them. After all, dragons had a much higher base than humans, making it easy for them to solve some problems.
When the door opened and closed, Zheng Yichen felt the environmental change.
Green Dragon Garel, who had been silent the whole time, looked outside in surprise, "Is this Environmental Adjustment? It really is a change in many aspects."
Not only was strength weakened, physique was also affected, and lifeform levels were unavoidable.
As a Green Dragon, he was very sensitive to life form levels; in his world, he could live for tens of thousands of years or even longer. In this world, he probably only had a bit more than half of his lifespan remaining.
Comparing his current self to the one in his native world... Garel calculated a bit; ten of him combined might not be able to beat the him from his home world.
Looking at Zheng Yichen again, Zheng Yichen’s aura of life had also been greatly weakened.
"Even with some Environmental Adjustment, in the kind of world you spoke of that lacks any Special Power, even a True God who goes there could possibly be killed by ordinary swords, right?" Garel asked uncertainly.
"That would depend on what type of world it is. If it’s a world with both low energy level and low strength level, a True God could indeed be killed by a dung fork..." Zheng Yichen said with a smile.
The stronger beings were, the more they would not want to go to low or extremely low environments. Going to such places meant seeking discomfort for oneself.
"Let’s go out first," Zheng Yichen said, glancing at Weaginia who did not seem to intend to interrupt his and Garel’s conversation.
The three left the room; this world’s environmental conditions were considered not bad, huh? The energy level and strength level were more or less equal; it was like a low-end version of the world of magic.
Even if it was downgraded by one level, it still resulted in a huge disparity; otherwise, Garel wouldn’t have come to the conclusion that he was now only a tenth as strong.
There are seventeen Dusk nuns here; judging from their number, the population of intelligent beings in this world probably isn’t less than three billion.
For example, in the world of magic, the number of Dusk nuns exceeds twenty-five, including some from alien races, such as those with elf ears or beast ears.
Here, almost all are from the human race, with only two non-human Dusk nuns, none from the Dragon Tribe.
From the features of that non-human Dusk nun, it seems that this world doesn’t have elves or similar beings, but orcs?
"By the way, do the extraterrestrial beings know about this place?" Zheng Yichen asked. He hadn’t seen any extraterrestrial version of the Dusk nun here, but extraterrestrial beings are intelligent creatures too, right?
"They know, and the extraterrestrial beings have even organized several dangerous assaults. However, they violated the rules here," Weaginia said. The extraterrestrial beings had captured quite a few of the native human race and extracted related information.
In addition, the surveillance of this world by extraterrestrial beings inevitably exposed the Dusk Territory.
Initially, the extraterrestrial beings attempted to destroy this place by force, but after various attacks proved ineffective, they switched to another method, trying to capture the Dusk nuns here as before. Then all the extraterrestrial beings that entered were completely erased.
The undeterred extraterrestrial beings even thought that the humans of this planet had mastered some unique technology and intensified their invasion. After that, those extraterrestrial beings completely gave up on invading Dusk.
It was useless; even the use of highly advanced technological might meant nothing. Attacks from the outside were futile, and everything invested in the Dusk Territory would be nullified.
"That really is tragic."
"After that, the extraterrestrial beings tried another approach. They modified some humans and sent them here," Weaginia said, looking towards several people inside the Dusk Cathedral, her Eyes squinting slightly, "They figured out the rules of Dusk, and the modified humans put in place didn’t violate Dusk’s rules, so Dusk didn’t interfere with them too much."
The mother dragon’s expression carried a hint of helplessness. Even though she could see the identities of these modified humans, she couldn’t use force against them inside the Dusk Territory. They were openly monitoring, and when they saw Weaginia, those modified humans even showed malevolent expressions.
Zheng Yichen cracked a slight smile: "Ignore them."
As a Proxy Agent, he couldn’t resort to violence inside the Dusk Cathedral. Regardless of whether these people had ill intentions or not, perhaps they still had their own consciousness, but became traitors. Maybe due to the modifications, they had lost their self-awareness or their personalities had been adjusted, turning into ’humans’ on the enemy’s side.
But none of this affected his plans to deal with the extraterrestrial beings in the coming days.
Outside the Dusk Cathedral, one could see areas enveloped and wrapped by huge roots.
Roots formed pathways and defenses, creating an environment around the Dusk Cathedral that resembled a natural park.
In the distance, a colossal ’tree’ could be seen blotting out the sky.
That tree served as this place’s ’sky.’
"This is indeed awe-inspiring." Zheng Yichen smacked his lips; this was a tree with a height of at least four thousand kilometers!!
"Indeed, awe-inspiring," Green Dragon Garel said sincerely. As an Elder of the Dragon Tribe, he had seen many special things, but this was his first time seeing a World Tree. Even though they were very far from the main trunk of the World Tree, he could still feel its vastness that could support a World.
The surrounding roots were all spreading from the World Tree.
In Garel’s Eyes, the radiance emitted by the World Tree enveloped the entire ’World.’
"The World Tree protects our World, but this protection isn’t infinite," Weaginia said with a tinge of melancholy. The barrier deployed by the World Tree allowed them to withstand the extraterrestrial beings’ high-end weapons.
However, it couldn’t stop small-scale attacks by the extraterrestrial beings. Generally speaking, the barrier was like a robust net. Attacks exceeding the size of this net’s holes would be blocked, but those below couldn’t be intercepted.
Still, attacks smaller than the net’s holes posed no threat to the World Tree. It was just that those extraterrestrial beings could get through the holes and land on this planet.
Weaginia and her companions tried their best to ’perfect’ this defense, to decrease the size of the holes, but that was difficult to achieve. Ultimately, the issue was one of consumption, overly comprehensive coverage would lead to substantial consumption.
Now, the defense was maintaining a balance in expenditure. If the extraterrestrial beings increased their attacks, it would lead to additional consumption. The World Tree was connected to the entire planet, and excessive consumption could affect the environmental conditions.
"It’s a dead end with reinforced armor," Zheng Yichen said after hearing Weaginia’s detailed explanation, his mouth twitching. Advising that even if they made this protective net flawless, they would still be in a passive position of taking hits.
"We have also thought about striking back," Weaginia sighed with regret. If the humans of this World, along with some alien races, had not been sabotaged, then counterattacking would have been possible.
But the problem was that extraterrestrial beings had come long ago and had been eyeing this planet early on. They didn’t descend like divine soldiers from heaven as in the movies, leveraging their overwhelming technological might to crush this planet.
With the protection of the World Tree, they definitely couldn’t roll over it.
After all, in the extraterrestrial beings’ Eyes, a planet with a World Tree was akin to an Ark of Life capable of spaceflight. The problem was that this Ark had the ability for interstellar travel but lacked strong offensive capabilities.
Humans and many alien races lost the ability to use magic, and the development of this era was significantly behind...
Indeed, magic could drive productivity, but the situation of this World was different from the neighboring world of magic. Before the appearance of extraterrestrial beings, much of the magical knowledge was ’monopolized.’ Those who monopolized magical knowledge made every effort to concentrate resources.
This led to the World’s productivity never being able to improve, and as it remained stagnant, those people wanted to centralize resources even more egregiously. After all, with the growth in strength and research, the demand for resources would only increase.
Weaginia had never paid much attention to these matters before. But after contacting many Worlds, she realized how severe the problems caused by such monopolies were...
Now, those people didn’t need to monopolize anymore...
