Chapter 976: Chapter 703: Home

"Is there something going on behind the scenes?" Zheng Yichen whispered to Tia as he led her to another place.

Tia answered calmly, "No."

"Really?"

"There’s no reason to deceive you. You should get ready now."

"Ah? Are you doing this on purpose?" Zheng Yichen looked at Tia, slightly stunned. This wasn’t the first or second time this had happened.

Every time after he had upgraded his equipment, Tia would inform him that it was time to get to serious business.

Although he had experience in this regard, he liked to delay the strengthening. After all, once notified, there was always at least twenty-four hours, so there was no need to rush. Instead, there could be other gains before the final time arrived.

"There’s no reason to do it intentionally. You have forty-eight hours."

"Two days’ notice? Why did you notify me earlier this time?"

Looking into Zheng Yichen’s eyes, Tia maintained her usual expression, "You have contacted the Great World and returned safely, so you are entitled to such treatment."

"That’s not too bad..." Zheng Yichen nodded. Since there wasn’t much time left, he started making arrangements for what came next, first taking the three little ones for a ride, as he had mentioned before.

Then, he would bring the people around him back.

"Are we leaving? You all have been very secretive today; what exactly have you been up to?" After Zheng Yichen took the three little ones for a ride, Lillian and others also arrived at the Dusk Cathedral. The young Luminous Holy Maiden squinted slightly, scrutinizing the people here.

She felt that everyone had undergone some change, but she couldn’t specify what kind of change it was.

"That’s a little secret of the Dusk Circle. The main issues of this world have been resolved, and there are no reasons left for us to stay. Let those who should stay, stay here. I need to go home and check on things," Zheng Yichen said with a smile.

The issue of extraterrestrial beings was serious for this world, but it changed with the arrival of a mechanized Descent of God like him.

Weaginia, who came to bid farewell, felt quite emotional about this. They would no longer have to be busy finding beings to help their world, but as Dusk mercenaries, they still couldn’t relax.

The threat from the quadruped extraterrestrial beings hadn’t been completely resolved; a fleet would still arrive in one hundred and thirty years, and the humans on the Moon needed to be brought back.

According to the intelligence provided by Zheng Yichen, the humans on the Moon were specifically "farmed" by the quadruped extraterrestrial beings for magic research and were severely brainwashed. Although Zheng Yichen had already dealt with many who couldn’t adapt, those remaining also needed to recognize the truth.

Plus, they were humans uncontaminated by pollution.

The Dragon Tribe, human race, and other alien races had discussed this. After much thought, their final decision was to reveal the truth to those on the Moon. If the Moon base could be used in the long term, they would continue to keep them on the Moon.

They would live there, preserving their magical talents, while Tree Planet would provide new resources to modify the conditions on the Moon, and then develop another pathway. Otherwise, if humans with magical talent from the Moon were brought back, it might not be long before the local humans with magical talents also disappeared.

These were internal matters that Weaginia did not bother Zheng Yichen with. As for the communication with the Moon, there were plenty of escort warships here, enough for travel.

As for the travel expenses, the World Tree had already paid for them.

"Well then, see you next time. If any unbeatable monsters appear on your side again, remember to call me; just cover the travel expenses," Zheng Yichen said with a smile to Weaginia.

Weaginia smiled and nodded. She couldn’t wish for more, especially since the young man with white hair in front of her was someone even the World Tree valued.

Chiang Wei looked at Zheng Yichen, her expression somewhat helpless: "You’re leaving so soon."

"Ha, Dusk is starting to push me to work. I still have some matters to take care of and not much time. Why don’t you come and visit me?"

She was tempted, but then shook her head, "Let’s talk about it when you have more time. I still need to complete the upgrade for Doris here."

Doris was her creation, like a daughter to her, and leaving here would make some things difficult to handle.

"That works. Next time there’s a chance, you can come and visit me."

"Brother Chang Qing, we also want to go see Hazy City," Liu Hongzhao said proactively. This world didn’t hold much of their interest, and she was more eager to explore Zheng Yichen’s home world.

Zheng Yichen didn’t say much. He drew a magic array formation that led to an internal space and sent everyone going to Hazy City inside.

He and Tia went to the World-Crossing Cottage, and their return to the home world was free of charge.

Hazy City.

Months after he last left, Zheng Yichen breathed in deeply, inhaling the unique misty air of Hazy City.

The Dusk Cathedral here had not changed at all since he, Zheng Yichen, had left, and the Dusk mercenaries watching his return did not feel any surprise.

They knew that their world had Proxy Agents and felt a great sense of "security." As for the Proxy Agents not appearing for a long time, it didn’t matter; by asking a local Dusk nun, one could confirm if the Proxy Agent was still alive.

The people were doing well, and even the appearance hadn’t changed much.

As for the others, they were not surprised by Zheng Yichen’s appearance either; after all, the Hazy City inherently had the occupation of modern Hunter, and there were many who dressed unusually.

Zheng Yichen took out his cellphone and dialed a number, "I’m back."

"I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up," said Ahn Qi from the other end of the phone.

"No need, I’ll go straight home and meet you there."

"Alright." Ahn Qi from the other end pushed aside some tasks, a cold smile playing on her lips. Ahn Ke had left this time for a ’planned’ six months.

However, before six months were up, some people had lost their patience. After all, in Ahn Ke’s absence, she had left behind quite a large cake, and at first, no one developed additional thoughts.

But as time went by and there were not many clear messages from Ahn Ke, some people began to reach out, their actions becoming increasingly bold.

Ahn Qi had wanted to chop off some fingers originally, but her sister, Ahn Longling, stopped her; acting too soon wasn’t good, waiting a bit longer could clean up more people who had ideas.

Those people had ideas because they had the capability to swallow the cake, so they also had the wherewithal to pay the corresponding price.

After contacting her sister, Ahn Qi touched her left arm, which had been adapted over a few months to the influence brought by its high lifeform level.

Although she hadn’t directly made a move, in the private training ground, she had already experienced how terrifying her current strength was.

Now when she went out with bodyguards, the bodyguards turned out to need her protection instead. However, many things she preferred to handle without direct confrontation if possible, bringing bodyguards helped her clean up the riffraff.

But today, she didn’t need to bring any bodyguards.

"BOSS, during this time, there have been people with unusual movements approaching our home, but no invaders," said the chibi projection of Lilith sitting on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder as she looked at a small projection screen in front of her.

Once back in Hazy City, she had connected online to the main control computer at home, checking over all the records of recent times.

"The Ahn family isn’t foolish, it’s only been a few months; it’s not enough time for anyone’s brains to have a hiccup," said Zheng Yichen as he immediately released people from the internal space once arriving home.

"Woah—finally out, felt so oppressive!" The Little Luminous Holy Maiden, Lillian, complained with a hint of desperation. The environment level of this world in Hazy City was too low, affected by Environmental Adjustment, which made the Holy Maiden, who had always been in a high-level environment, extremely uncomfortable.

Not just her, but even individuals like Ahn Ke were not very comfortable, although Liu Hongzhao and her companions looked composed as Dusk mercenaries accustomed to adapting to phenomena brought by Environmental Adjustment.

Lin Yaoyao tossed another Supreme Demon Weapon onto the ground, "Whew—so heavy!"

The Supreme Demon Weapon left by the Battle Maniac Asura was a giant sword, which did not reduce its weight with changes in the environment.

When they carried out missions as Dusk mercenaries, they took this weapon with them, which was generally used to clear up the riffraff and was something they wouldn’t mind being rough with.

"The influence of the environment is too great. In less than six months, returning to this lower environment feels suffocating," Ahn Ke noted her bodily feelings, using suffocation merely as a figure of speech.

By the time Zheng Yichen returned, they had mostly adapted to this change, but the discomfort continued.

She pinched her skin; the enhancements brought by the Dragon Blood Refining Body were greatly diminished in Hazy City.

The toughness of her skin could protect her from some bullet injuries, but she would still be vulnerable to larger-caliber anti-material weapons or special ammunition.

Not to mention explosive shells; even a True Dragon could be taken down by such weapons, and she had only undergone the Dragon Blood Refining Body, making her physical strength far weaker in comparison to a giant dragon.

Being able to ignore some gunfire was already quite strong.

And her clothes, definitely weakened by the environmental adjustment, still offered some effect, providing defensive power that was definitely stronger than her physical body.

Although the environment level of Hazy City was low, it still possessed the nature of special power.

"Magic casting is also somewhat strenuous; high-tier magic can hardly be cast at all, well, if some energy-storing tools were used to assist, it might be tried, but such a hassle,"

Lillian also seemed somewhat disdainful, murmuring that now in this place, casting low-tier magic was like casting high-tier magic in her home world; not strenuous, but still costly.

And mid-tier magic was quite strenuous.

Lillian couldn’t help but ask Zheng Yichen, "How can you stand living in this kind of environment? There must be many threats to you here."

She had been in the Tree Planet world for several days, coming into contact with modernized weapons, understanding their power. In such an environment, they were truly ’vulnerable.’
