I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1629 - 1153: The Uncontainable Monster (Part 2)

Even so, after Zheng Yichen cleared some of the monsters, it was already nearing evening.

The sun of the Great World affected the day and night of Dragon City Planet, though the overall impact wasn’t significant.

Even though the Great World’s land didn’t accept the Misty City World’s ground, Dragon City Planet still integrated into the Great World, with adjustments on ’time axis’.

But a day’s time still far exceeded what once was a day.

Zheng Yichen chose to retreat because he couldn’t handle it; he underestimated the World Tree’s allure, and as dusk appeared, the number of monsters didn’t diminish but instead increased rapidly.

It seemed as if all related monsters on the planet were attracted here, and these monsters included humans, animals, and plants alike.

Faced with this seemingly endless battle, Zheng Yichen himself couldn’t stand it, so he decisively packed up the World Tree and fled.

Fortunately, he had foresight; he acted away from Dragon City.

During his escape, he left a trace of the World Tree’s aura, using it as bait to escape smoothly, yet still some monsters were drawn away by Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen’s presence, in the ’perception’ of those monsters, was as significant as the presence of the World Tree, albeit not with as much attraction.

As for methods like concealment, these monsters didn’t care; using it would be pointless, and their tracking methods were more like Zheng Yichen’s use of Oblivion.

Normal sight was meaningless now; what worked were the ’normal’ things appearing in the abnormal sight.

In the abnormal, all normal becomes exposed, even hidden areas or individual existence are considered normal.

Back in Misty City World, Ahn Longling contacted Zheng Yichen immediately, inquiring about the monsters. She had now completely mastered Dragon City’s An Family.

The main family lost contact, and the people of Dragon City’s An Family weren’t unaware of Zheng Yichen’s existence.

Ahn Longling leveraged Zheng Yichen’s prestige to control Dragon City’s An Family, and upon hearing the news, they immediately submitted, disregarding the original main family.

That entity became history; as long as Zheng Yichen said the word, even if the main family still existed, they would obediently separate Dragon City’s An Family entirely.

Moreover, during this precarious time, they were eager to associate more with Zheng Yichen; this world was too dangerous.

Reflecting on the An Family’s past pursuits felt somewhat ridiculous; once they brazenly thought that by continuously accumulating the capital for strength, they could build enough potential to soar.

With such accumulation, choosing a high-environment world, they could become the pinnacle existence, possibly even control that world.

However, the gap between reality and ideal was too vast, with the might exhibited by outside world bugs, and the subsequent appearance of Remnant Ashes of Annihilation, Boundary Breaker’s invasion, and more.

These external factors didn’t crush Dragon City but did significantly impact it.

Monsters weren’t completely cleared yet, and scouts had already returned terrifying information long before, some had gone mad just by catching a glimpse from afar.

Swarms of dark monsters gathered towards a direction as if on a pilgrimage, their numbers far exceeding the outside world bugs, akin to Marching Ants, leveling anything in their path.

And to think of becoming world controllers?

Forget it, isn’t it better to be a ’family’ under a powerful figure? As long as Zheng Yichen lives well, they can peacefully continue and develop.

Though their existence seemed solely for Zheng Yichen, with his presence, unless they actively provoked uncontrollable situations, nothing would happen.

At least when opponents couldn’t defeat Zheng Yichen, they wouldn’t face trouble; no one would dare provoke them.

Just like many sects in Immortality Cultivation, it’s not the sect that makes the patriarch, but the sect’s patriarch who achieves the sect.

If the sect’s members get into trouble provoking unnecessary enemies, the patriarch could relocate; but what about the sect members?

Of course, if they make trouble together with the patriarch and he gets defeated by a stronger being, it’s another matter.

But if such a thing happens, the patriarch might clear out the sect created around him before he falls.

Enjoying the shade is one thing, but trying to uproot the tree is another, right?

Ahn Longling easily gained control over Dragon City’s An Family, undertaking many tasks, but the priority was to overcome the current crisis; if those monsters couldn’t be dealt with, Dragon City wouldn’t survive.

Then, Dragon City’s An Family would completely abandon Dragon City and move to the Firmament Wheel.

The survival space there was vast, itself a city-sized behemoth; even if Dragon City’s An Family moved there, it wouldn’t take up much space.

Regarding the Firmament Wheel reports, Ahn Longling studied them earnestly; although many people lived there, most were ’bionic beings’, with a low proportion of actual humans.

Even filling it entirely with Dragon City’s An Family wouldn’t increase that proportion by 1%.

Of course, if Dragon City could sustain itself well, there’s no need to relocate; Zheng Yichen indeed lacked population, but they had ways to help him acquire outsiders without resorting to illegal means.

Dragon City remains very suitable for development; although the world itself suffered severe impacts, the phenomenon within Dragon City stayed stable, simply returning to earlier generation speeds.

Despite being affected time-wise, newly appeared phenomena remained stable, with no lifespan shorter than a month, similar to previous records, indicating it hasn’t been substantially impacted.

Dragon City’s An Family can continue exploring those phenomena.

Moreover, Ahn Longling realized that if Dragon City could be preserved, it would become the frontline against the Great World!

Given their status as Zheng Yichen’s ’vassals’, why become ’parasites’ in the Firmament Wheel when there’s a chance here to seize?

"What is the threat level of those monsters?"

"Quite troublesome, the more they gather, the stronger they become, and the sound they emit drives people to despair and insanity. I’ll need to research methods to deal with them."

Zheng Yichen looked at a screen displaying Lilith’s research information on those Resounding Monsters.

Zheng Yichen had eliminated countless Resounding Monsters, and Lilith further absorbed and analyzed a huge amount of such monsters for intelligence.

Although the analysis wasn’t comprehensive, it sufficed; those monsters were akin to super degenerate versions of Remnant Ashes of Annihilation.

Even gathering them for extermination could yield something like Remnant Ashes of Annihilation.

Zheng Yichen had obtained nearly half a pound of Remnant Ashes of Annihilation from eliminating numerous monsters.

If Zheng Yichen hadn’t excessively used Oblivion during battles, he could have gained multiples more, but for efficiency and already having plenty of Remnant Ashes of Annihilation himself.

He didn’t intend to be greedy for a portion, focusing on suppressing monster numbers.

Before returning, he found he couldn’t suppress them, at least not under normal conditions, while using full Oblivion could vastly clear those monsters.

But what about the Boundary Breaking Organization’s surveillance?

During battles, Lilith had repeatedly captured some scouting mechanical units.

Boundary Breakers couldn’t easily land on this planet due to the Curse, but non-living entities could do so without allegiance.

The Curse wouldn’t target them unless a Boundary Breaker’s consciousness resided within those mechanical units.
