I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1583 - 1118: Asking Again

The outwardly damaged and inwardly broken body slowly dispelled the impact brought by Oblivion after Zheng Yichen gradually ignited Life Creation.

Destruction is easier than creation; starting Oblivion only takes a moment, and releasing it also happens in an instant, but how long does repair take afterward?

Zheng Yichen, who did not clearly feel the passage of time, continued to repair his fragmented body.

To be honest, he did have some thoughts about saving a few merit points, but it wasn’t really for the merit points. They aren’t hard to acquire now; only the initial merit points are hard to obtain.

Only the merit points that can accumulate ’credit,’ aside from tasks, are not included in this scope, no matter how many he gains, it won’t grant Zheng Yichen the ’retention opportunity’ gift.

The repair at Dusk happens swiftly, just an injection, or a transfusion, seems to do.

But what afterwards? No direct experience throughout the process, it’s just the same before recovery as it is after.

But what Zheng Yichen is doing now is different; Life Creation has dissolved Oblivion, ’creating’ anew within the body destroyed by Oblivion, allowing him to restore himself.

Zheng Yichen’s understanding and use of Life Creation have improved, and because he needed to clear Oblivion, he needed to understand it more — understand the ’enemy’.

This understanding has also enhanced his comprehension and usage of Oblivion.

The next time he attempts the same attack method, he will at least reduce a tenth of the negative impact and his recovery speed will significantly increase.

This is tangible benefit; if it were repaired with merit points, there wouldn’t be this part of the improvement.

Though the cost of self-recovery is somewhat burdensome, Zheng Yichen’s mental state nearly lost control several times.

As for unleashing the same Oblivion attack again, it depends on the timing and opportunity.

This time, he was able to extinguish a ’Black Hole’ single-handedly by using the Star-devouring Evil Spirit, which allowed him to gather substantial external power, that part of power condensed into fruit through the World Tree.

Zheng Yichen ate that fruit to gain the conditions necessary for releasing this strike.

As for the power within the fruit, some remains, though not much.

Pain, that sort of thing, he has already endured it, so it’s not considered pain anymore; it’s merely bodily and soul pain, nothing deeply entrenched.

In fact, in this task, as long as he completes it alive, it’s a gain.

Zheng Yichen opened his eyes, dense cracks appeared in the darkness like a black chrysalis before him, and he pushed forward with his hand, a cracking sound echoed.

The dazzling light temporarily affected his vision, the next moment, his sight returned to normal, and the cacophonous noise beside his ears settled into order.

He continued the forward pushing motion; his lost arms had recovered.

"BOSS, welcome back." Lilith’s voice sounded.

Zheng Yichen yawned, "Did I sleep for a long time?"

"A total of 443 hours."

There was a hint of surprise in Zheng Yichen’s eyes; this time was shorter than he anticipated... well, his anticipation was just a wild guess after all.

While undergoing self-recovery, he had no cognizance of time passage; even upon waking, there was no special perception to immediately judge how long had passed.

The first method that came to his mind was to check the time.

Nearly eighteen and a half days; alright, sounds workable.

Glancing at the scattered black shells on the ground, Zheng Yichen casually picked one up, gently squeezed it, and found the shell to be quite solid.

"I’ll take these." Ahn Ke came over, picking up the shells piece by piece from the ground, "When you have time, come over for a health check; I’ll personally inspect you."

"Sigh, alright." Zheng Yichen handed over the black shell from his hands — this thing had peeled off from his body.

Though it’s just a thin layer, that thin layer is equivalent to his ’former self’; Life Creation has completely refreshed his body state.

Parts affected by Oblivion, except those consumed through self-digestion, those which cannot be recycled are excluded, becoming this kind of black shell.

Such things aren’t entirely useless refuse; for instance, this stuff can withstand a certain extent of Oblivion force.

Of course, Zheng Yichen does not require the resistance that comes with this shell; just like dragon scales, which have strong physical and magic resistance, peeling them off creates significant raw material.

However, the dragon itself possesses even greater corresponding resistance.

The dragon might not care about the scales that fall off normally, but such scales become treasures that others value.

"Fosterer, do you really plan on not wearing anything?"

Tanshia Firlo widened her eyes and stared at Zheng Yichen. The clothes he was wearing had already turned to ash during his self-healing, and although the equipment restored by Dusk had been sent over, Zheng Yichen hadn’t put them on yet.

With a snap of his fingers, a set of clothes appeared on Zheng Yichen, clothes manifested through the Fantasy Great Array Formation. He accepted the cat spirit cloak brought by Lilith without a change of expression.

The cat spirit cloak on his body quickly changed, replacing the manifested clothes. The cat spirit appeared, gently rubbed against Zheng Yichen, and then returned to its body.

"Still watching?" He reached out and pressed forcefully on the small white dragon’s head. Zheng Yichen moved his body, refreshed, making him feel the bitterness he endured was worth it... Tsk!

With this unpleasant mood, Zheng Yichen picked up Tanshia Firlo, "You all worked hard too, we’re ready to go home."

"Boss, there are still some leftover issues in this world; given your character, you won’t ignore them," Lilith reminded Zheng Yichen.

She could not remind Zheng Yichen, but most likely he would run back again later, consuming merit points again, which isn’t worth it.

"Leftover issues... Right." Putting down Tanshia Firlo, Zheng Yichen opened the door to his dedicated room and arrived at the Dusk Cathedral.

All the Dusk nuns practicing there looked over simultaneously, making Zheng Yichen feel a bit uncomfortable being watched by so many Dusk nuns.

"Is there something?"

"No, you’ve recovered well." Tia assessed Zheng Yichen before withdrawing her gaze, "You don’t need Dusk’s treatment anymore."

"Then I’ve recovered thoroughly, I’ll just go deal with some outside matters first."

Zheng Yichen said as he left the Dusk Territory, the outside world still in a state of eternal night.

But the entire world had become incredibly silent; previously, Star Gods could bring some brilliance, but now all Star Gods are dead, and the only things near the heart-core planet capable of producing light no longer exist.

Eternal night covered the whole land; the darkness couldn’t affect Zheng Yichen’s vision—he could still see entities moving in the dark.

The native inhabitants were watching them; some of these were normal, some abnormal, and Zheng Yichen slightly grinned, revealing a dangerous smile.

"Yao Xing, I offer you a choice once more: do you wish to stay, or choose to remain on the Firmament Wheel?"

"...I wish to stay temporarily." Yao Xing looked into the distant darkness and spoke after being silent for a moment; she is now a brand-new Star God.

The reversed Star God is also a Star God, different from those naturally born Star Gods; she is a real entity transformed from the human race into a Star God, unable even to possess a stellar body like a Star God.

Yet, without a stellar body, she’s still a Star God and can naturally perceive some special existences at this time; the Star Gods have completely perished, but part of their consciousness has been retained.

They’ve parasitized into the human race groups, which isn’t difficult for Star Gods.

After all, humans in this world are the ’filters’ fostered by Star Gods—all humans possess the Star God’s strength, and it’s not impossible to host Star God’s consciousness.

The premise is for those Star Gods to abandon their original stellar body.

Of course, there are not many of such Star Gods types; amongst the local inhabitants nearby, some have already escaped the influence of Star God consciousness.

The influence of Star God consciousness disappeared, yet long-held beliefs will not be immediately reversed.

Not everyone possesses rebellious tendencies; she could swiftly reverse the Star God due to Zheng Yichen’s initial reversal influence, a fact Yao Xing had already accepted.

"You changed me, allowing me to see the truth of the world; but I am one of this world’s humans. Once I clear all Star God consciousness, I will continue to follow you!"

"Then I leave this to you." Zheng Yichen took out a Faith Trade Statue, placing it beside the entrance of the Dusk Cathedral, "This thing can link to me for faith transactions; use it when needed, or keep it here otherwise."

Yao Xing nodded; seeing no further instructions from Zheng Yichen, her figure turned into starlight, disappearing into the eternal night.

There were still many remnant Star God consciousnesses, quite adept at hiding; she would be quite busy going forward.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yichen looked at the sky covered by eternal night, flying in a direction—the trajectory where he had previously smashed into the Dusk entrance through inertia.

Within the influence range of Dusk, there was nothing; but once outside Dusk’s influence range, Zheng Yichen immediately sensed the presence of Oblivion.

Oblivion followed his movement, lingering here.

Like a knife cut directly drawn on the canvas named world, it’s not a coat of different paints but rather directly carved out this section.

Oblivion was continuously exerting its effect, yet it was not true Oblivion, hence this world was still fine, not significantly affected as of now.

Yet left unattended, there remained the possibility of being ’burned through’ by Oblivion; Zheng Yichen had already witnessed the consequences of cracks appearing in the World Barrier.

The endless outside world bugs would directly fill this world, destroying it completely—this was Lilith’s crucial reminder to Zheng Yichen.

If Oblivion isn’t cleared, Zheng Yichen would indeed have to run back here again later.
