Chapter 1612 - 1140
No matter how glamorous the battle is, there’s always a price to pay afterward. However, Zheng Yichen knows clearly that had he not used Oblivion in that battle just now, it wouldn’t have been resolved in just over half an hour.
After all, those were a collection of external Hell’s Will entities, possessing extremely high power intensity. Even if a Star God came, they would be suppressed.
He fought based on the optimal choice.
After clearing the environmental issues, Zheng Yichen returned to the Land of Rest. The traces of erosion on the edge of the Land of Rest had disappeared. Instead, the growing vegetation began to spread outward.
After losing the influence of the external Hell’s Will, the entire Hell started to become chaotic. Although the external Hell’s Will was mad, it still counted as a CPU core.
Even if this thing is broken, as long as it can function, it remains the most important asset.
Since Zheng Yichen forcibly dismantled it, Hell outside the Land of Rest began to lose control.
Chaotic hell storms rampaged everywhere, but when the Land of Rest spread outward, the uncontrollable areas immediately returned to normal.
"Can’t you just control the whole Hell faster?"
Zheng Yichen stepped on the rapidly spreading vegetation beneath his feet, feeling somewhat at a loss. The collection of external Hell’s Will entities had been cleared by him, and the Hell’s Will in the Land of Rest was the only existing one.
But this lone Hell’s Will wasn’t very useful.
The moment Zheng Yichen finished speaking, the originally slowly diffusing Land of Rest suddenly spread beyond his field of vision in the blink of an eye.
The entire Hell turned into ’a paradise’, although some evil areas were retained. However, those wicked zones were only so compared to the Land of Rest; in reality, those regions were the true Hell environment.
In the area Zheng Yichen could see, the ratio between them was roughly seven to three.
This... Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but think about a cat, the kind that cautiously stretches its paw towards the chicken leg on the table under the owner’s watch.
Wanting to eat but afraid of being reproached or hit.
Once granted permission, its cautiousness immediately vanished.
"That’s pretty good." Zheng Yichen perceived the Hell’s Will surrounding him. Though this strength didn’t manifest, Hell’s Will would immediately respond appropriately if Zheng Yichen needed it.
As for the gifts from the Hell domain master, they didn’t reappear, saving Zheng Yichen a lot of trouble.
Being intensely watched by Hell, Zheng Yichen found this pretty troublesome.
The current changes were sufficient.
In less than two minutes, the area Zheng Yichen could see became lively, as numerous spirits entered Hell and arrived in this Land of Rest.
The spirits that previously appeared in Hell mostly would be torn apart by the rampaging hell environment; only the strong enough spirits could survive.
The Land of Rest didn’t have such extreme environments. Any spirit arriving here would be influenced by the environment and ’rest’.
Even those fragile spirits could maintain stability here.
Although they wouldn’t easily lose their rationality, as the Land of Rest expanded to fill Hell, a new change occurred: spirits here tended to become sleepy.
Zheng Yichen saw many spirits appear in the Land of Rest and, shortly after, find a place to sleep, seemingly having pleasant dreams.
The originally solemn expressions gradually relaxed and then disappeared, likely reincarnated according to the rules of hell in the Land of Rest.
Meanwhile, some spirits looked vicious, as if undergoing torment. These vile spirits were positioned in the original Hell environment.
A part of the stronger spirits maintained clarity.
Not all spirits would sleep, only those who are sufficiently weak or whose obsessions aren’t strong.
Zheng Yichen approached a spirit nearby, gently touching it, sensing a layer of membrane’s presence.
This membrane was very tough, but it was easy for Zheng Yichen to tear it—not due to his usual Strength—but rather because Hell’s Will was overly attentive to him.
If he wished to tear this membrane, he could do so easily.
If someone else tried, it would be equivalent to challenging part of the hell’s rules.
Perhaps someone could tear it, but without a doubt, it would provoke Hell’s hostility.
Other beings don’t have the preferential treatment Zheng Yichen currently enjoys; the consequences of Hell’s hostility wouldn’t be good. If a person targeted by Hell’s hostility is too powerful for Hell to handle, then this Hell might summon help.
"I’m leaving." After briefly understanding Hell’s situation, Zheng Yichen left directly. No matter how good the hell environment was, it couldn’t pique his interest.
Hell’s Will is reluctant to part with Zheng Yichen.
Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye and quickened his pace to leave.
"Boss, I’ve analyzed the situation. The Hell’s Will of the Misty City World will continue to seek you out. After this wave, the Hell’s Will of this world has become excessively active."
"That’s really troublesome, speaking of which, being too active for such a presence is considered a downgrade, right?" Zheng Yichen said as he returned to his home’s courtyard and found a place to sit down.
While using Life Creation to adjust his physical state, he conversed with Lilith.
It’s best for certain beings not to have excessive human traits. Without too much or overly active human traits, they can maintain their corresponding strength.
Proxy Agents frequently visit Zheng Yichen’s home, and they don’t mind sharing some of their past experiences with him, or rather, those Proxy Agents are quite willing to engage in such exchanges.
After all, there’s no conflict of interest among them, and this kind of communication is beneficial for everyone involved.
Everyone has tasks in unfamiliar environments, and understanding beforehand can help complete the tasks more easily.
Thus, Zheng Yichen learned information about other worlds from other Proxy Agents.
In some worlds, there are exceptionally powerful gods, and these kinds of gods make past Proxy Agents quite fearful.
However, this kind of existence generally lacks human traits.
Unlike gods in other worlds, who can wield authority, but their use is akin to humans mastering a machine.
Whereas another class of gods is equivalent to rule manifestation, rules themselves have gained sentience, rather than creatures mastering a portion of rule power.
When creatures grasp a portion of rule power, even if they’re killed, the rules associated with that power won’t be affected.
But if a being of rule manifestation is killed, the entire world will experience a tremor, weakening or even collapsing the relevant rules within the world.
Even though parts of the collapse can recover due to the world’s integrity, the recovery takes a long time, and before it recovers, it might leave loopholes, making the world weaker.
Because they are important, and they already exist as manifestations of rules, they generally lack human traits, even if some seem approachable for communication.
But that’s just a facade; they won’t be moved and won’t have emotional reactions due to certain events.
One second they may appear friendly in communication, and the next they might trigger natural disasters, descending upon a region and destroying countless lives.
This isn’t because they are capricious, but rather because they are part of the world’s manifestation, with observers seeing certain Rule Gods bringing down the natural disasters by hand.
In reality, such situations, placed in a world without Rule Gods, would be natural disasters simply occurring, just that world has corresponding Rule Gods, giving rise to such a ’step.’
However, this step typically doesn’t experience delays, as in a world without Rule Gods, disasters occur at this point in time.
In a world that is identical but has Rule Gods, this step exists, and disasters also occur at the same time.
Because they are extremely important, these kinds of Rule Gods are very powerful in their native worlds; Proxy Agents are wary even when they’re inactive.
When they do act... most Proxy Agents aren’t able to overpower them, including those who have interacted with these Rule Gods.
The Proxy Agent who narrated this story knows so much because her task was related to these Rule Gods.
The reason there are such Rule Gods in that world is because the strength of the corresponding rules in their world is excessively high, leading to a ’overflow,’ resulting in the creation of such Rule Gods.
Initially, the influence of these Rule Gods wasn’t significant, but as they formed and the excessive rule overflow continued, their influence gradually increased.
However, as manifestations of rules, no matter how much they strengthen, there is never the emergence of ’human traits,’ nor should there be any human traits.
They may appear to have independence, interacting with creatures and even doing things they ’like’ to do.
But for them, that’s all there is; human traits never exist, even if someone believes in such Rule Gods, belief cannot have any impact on them.
Normal True Gods can still utilize faith power, but for Rule Gods, that thing is utterly useless, as they don’t require such things.
No amount of faith can reach Rule Gods; conversely, some Rule Gods regularly need to clear up what faith produces due to accumulated beliefs.
After all, faith in them accumulates faith-related things that can even resemble them slightly, and if not cleaned, it could interfere with the Rule Gods’ affairs.
Nevertheless, Rule Gods have never actively targeted creatures providing corresponding faith.
The main point being that without those Rule Gods, creatures within the world would still have beliefs tied to certain natural phenomena, yet disasters would still arrive, regardless of faith.
The Boundary Breaker’s invasion targets these Rule Gods, attempting to use unique methods to impart emotions to those Rule Gods...
