I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1413 - 1005: Extinction Criteria_2

"...Alright." Zheng Yichen didn’t stay long at the Night Banquet Bar.

He finally arrived at Ahn Ke’s place.

Ahn Ke was preparing to move to the new research institute soon, which was near Zheng Yichen’s residence.

But after learning what Zheng Yichen was going to do, his brows furrowed: "You’re going to be gone for a long time this time?"

She wanted to go with Zheng Yichen.

"I don’t know exactly how long, but there’s a way to communicate remotely now, what are you worried about?"

Ahn Ke thought of the Balance Scale sculpture, which was quite popular at the research institute.

It’s not that the crazy scientists joining her research really believed in something, they were actually more rational when looking at things.

Just like how Zheng Yichen used faith for trading, after understanding the function of the Balance Scale sculpture, they started trading with faith for real.

Truly believe in something? Their faith was just a currency for facilitating research.

Even with this mindset, the quality of the faith they provided for trade was quite high, and the trade buff they mainly chose was Ice Crystal Freeze.

When concentrating on research, one’s state declines quickly, but Ice Crystal Freeze can directly prevent this issue, and then there’s the Fervent Blood Life.

This ensures that during their research, their bodies remain in a highly active state for a long time, ignoring any pressure, pushing their bodies to the limit.

Anything else? They weren’t interested in anything else.

"Alright, come back soon." Ahn Ke no longer tried to keep him, the Ahn family had quite a few matters recently.

Not bad things, but matters related to the neighboring Devouring World, where the Ahn family divided quite a bit of the benefits in war, controlling an area far beyond Hazy City.

In Hazy City, they still faced restrictions from various forces and officials, but in the neighboring world, such restrictions were virtually nonexistent, and the Ahn family was in a position to make custom rules.

Thus, the Ahn family gradually shifted their focus of development from Hazy City to the neighboring Devouring World.

After all, the two worlds were close, so in Hazy City, the Ahn family just needed to maintain the basic setup.

Expanding outward was difficult because the distribution and development of forces here were already saturated.

Expansion was a matter of more effort for less reward.

For Ahn Ke, the war allowed her creations to be widely applied, collecting a large amount of experimental data, a form of ’contribution’ to the family that she actually liked.

The family provided resources, while she produced some special products, each getting what they needed.

"When will you leave?"

"Now, do let your sister know." Zheng Yichen didn’t plan to stay long here, nor did he prepare to wait 48 hours to go to Dusk.

Knowing that this preparation time was actually deducted from his mission time cured his procrastination in this aspect.

Returning to the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen saw the figure of Senluo.

"I’m going with you."

"Are you sure?" Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised.

Senluo nodded: "I can put off collecting soil, but I can’t miss the world you’re contacting."

There were too many phenomena in Hazy City; for Senluo, she could collect all kinds of soil at any time, but a world with a Dusk Extermination Order might not be encountered if missed.

Seeing Senluo’s serious attitude, Zheng Yichen did not refuse, after all, her combat strength was not inferior to the Proxy Agent, and in some parts even stronger.

If she wanted to go along, it was fine.

Inside the internal space, Tanshia Firlo looked a bit stunned at Senluo’s appearance here, immediately letting out a small cat-like hissing sound.

She felt her territory was being invaded.

Senluo would appear here casually at other times, but this time her Fosterer was about to execute a task, and Senluo’s presence here was self-evident.

"Calm down." Senluo raised her hand to stroke the head of the small white dragon, smoothing down the bristling white dragon.

Tanshia Firlo stared at Senluo: "Why are you coming too?"

Although she was a bit reluctant to admit it, Senluo’s techniques were on par with her Fosterer’s, no wonder she was a World Tree hosting many dragons.

"I don’t want to miss a unique world." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The small white dragon was briefly taken aback, was it not out of sentiment to come and help?

She quickly said: "You better be careful not to bring about an Extermination Order in your world too."

"I’m not that foolish; if such a thing happens, I’ll spread out the World Tree seed."

"Huh? Facing destruction that casually?" Tanshia Firlo was briefly taken aback, but she somewhat understood the tree’s perspective, as a dragon.

She thought Senluo’s idea was a bit advanced.

Better keep an eye on her Fosterer.

Zheng Yichen found Tia.

"You sure you want to leave now?"

"Yes." Zheng Yichen glanced at the memo, and, finding nothing overlooked, responded succinctly.

Tia said nothing more, leading Zheng Yichen to the world-crossing room, the familiar door-opening and door-closing sounds echoed, and in an instant, Zheng Yichen felt the peculiarity of a new environment.

The environment was filled with an indescribable awkward feeling.

Like a terminally ill lunatic?

Moreover, this lunatic knew their days were numbered, so they planned to go crazy, a being like this could be called a living zombie.

"I’m wondering how this world compares to a cancerous world."

Releasing Senluo and Tanshia Firlo from the internal space, Zheng Yichen conversed with Tia, who hadn’t left, and Tia said: "An immobile corpse versus a living but frenzied corpse."

"Got it." Zheng Yichen nodded, leaving the world-crossing room, finding the place rather deserted, though humans could be seen, they were not numerous, but there were quite a few Dusk nuns here.

More than thirty people, indicating that the human population of this world was over ten billion.

"These people would be considered... innocents, right?" Zheng Yichen asked Tia, noting that the humans here were natives.

This world was under the Dusk Extermination Order, meaning the majority of humans here were not ’innocent’, or they would have been wiped out by entering the Dusk Cathedral.

Zheng Yichen had seen first-hand a Devourer being exterminated by Dusk, and upon nearing Dusk, the Devourer was directly obliterated, unable to offer any resistance.

"There are innocents, but not many, so there’s no need to pay them any attention."

Tia spoke with a touch of indifference, which Zheng Yichen could understand; if one equated this world to a zombie, those deemed innocent would be akin to still-healthy cells in a corpse.

But this number was too small compared to the pathological parts.

Seeing the anxious looks of those people, Zheng Yichen did not leave the Dusk Cathedral immediately, but instead found a place to sit and took out some small gadgets from the internal space.

Like an invisible drone; Lilith had long been able to make these at will.

He planned to gather some intelligence first, to learn more about this world under an Extermination Order before leaving.

As for the task arrangement.

Tia simply took Zheng Yichen’s phone and operated it briefly before handing it back to him.

The mission was simple—eradicate civilization.

Destroy the cultural heritage of this world.

Previously, such missions might have been summed up in a single sentence, leaving Zheng Yichen to figure out how to execute them.

But this time, Zheng Yichen saw some annotated content, including the depth of civilization eradication.

To eradicate civilization in this world, the simplest method is massacre, clearing all intelligent beings in this world, then there will be no cultural heritage.

Another method is the destruction of advanced knowledge, eliminating everything that led to the trigger conditions for the Extermination Order; after cleansing, retaining the transmission of normal knowledge is also considered a form of cultural eradication.

This normal knowledge standard was very low, at a high school level or so.

More advanced parts could be retained, but only if Zheng Yichen could handle such a large workload to screen them.
