I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1427 - 1016: Unifiers Organization
He wasn’t interested in Faith weapons. Although it was a sword, the faith power it was forged from didn’t align with his pursuits.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to use it. As for faith, he didn’t need to believe in anything to have ’faith.’
When faith reaches his level, it’s easy to obtain, but it doesn’t serve much purpose, at most slightly reinforcing an already solid conviction.
Just like now, he could generate ’faith’ in his Path of the Sword Cultivator, firmly believing in its strength.
And this portion of faith could be used for transactions.
This was his first time using it, the experience was... the list of options is vast!
Fervent Blood Life, Life enhancement, Light of Life, Blessing of Life, temporary Oath, Constant Freeze, Flames of Rage, and so on—a large selection of ’buffs’ available for exchange with faith.
The Proxy Agent chose Fervent Blood Life and Light of Life without hesitation.
The former provided a large amount of temporary Life Force, while the latter sped up the recovery of injuries.
Although his life was saved under unclear circumstances, he didn’t feel that his situation was truly safe now.
The wounds on his body began to heal rapidly, and even the fractured Sword Bone began to mend slowly.
But he knew these were all superficial. The recovery brought by Fervent Blood Life paired with Light of Life was not permanent; essentially, he gained temporary Life Force.
Once this portion of Life Force faded, the injury wouldn’t reappear, but the weakness wouldn’t lessen either.
But for now, he was more or less back to normal.
If it weren’t known that Zheng Yichen was a being who emerged from the Great World, he would’ve thought Zheng Yichen to be a Proxy Agent specialized in defense.
Right now, this was fine—at least there was no need for a last-ditch fight.
He had a number of resurrections left, but it didn’t mean that his weapons and equipment would be restored along with him. Death meant parting with his old companions for good.
"Hello, I think we can start negotiating now."
A man’s voice came through the broadcast, and the Proxy Agent turned to look at it: "Sure, but I need to know who you are."
"...Well, you can call us ’Unifiers.’ For certain reasons, we can’t meet you directly."
Unifiers? The sword cultivator Proxy Agent immediately thought of the intelligence provided by Chang Qing, who had encountered the Unifiers and obtained sufficient information.
As for how they got that information, he wasn’t concerned.
They were originally assigned by Dusk to carry out the Extermination Order, though this Extermination Order wasn’t a complete biological extinction but primarily a knowledge extinction.
To cripple this world’s level of civilization and cap their knowledge to no more than a high school level, eradicating all factors that caused Dusk to issue the Extermination Order.
Completing the Extermination Order this way seemed easy, but such precise operations were clearly less straightforward than a large-scale biological extinction. If every living thing in this world were to die, knowledge would be meaningless.
The Unifiers in this world were unique, akin to a kind of BUG in existence. But they were considered ’enemies’ of the Proxy Agents.
Unifiers wouldn’t be Undying and Indestructible like other natives due to Project Immortality. They integrated all of their parallel entities; although they couldn’t be undying, they could achieve longevity.
Moreover, they weren’t monitored by certain mechanisms in this world and could easily ’break boundaries’ in different parallel spaces.
Rather like... Equilibrists!
"We should be enemies."
The voice in the broadcast sounded again: "From an identity standpoint, we are indeed enemies, but enemies are not all the same."
"We will try to provide you enough help, and at the same time, you need to give us some hope," the man in the broadcast stated their purpose.
"Hope?" The sword cultivator Proxy Agent didn’t agree immediately. The information provided by Zheng Yichen was very useful, and the Unifiers didn’t have it easy in this world either.
After hearing this, he could guess the Unifiers’ purpose.
These people simply wanted to escape being hunted, right?
"We want to leave this world."
"Dusk would not agree," the sword cultivator Proxy Agent said with certainty.
The person speaking through the broadcast paused for a moment before saying, "Some of us didn’t participate in Project Immortality willingly and are victims too. Since they are victims, why can’t Dusk accept them?"
"That’s up to Dusk. If you want to survive, it’s possible... but you’ll have to forsake knowledge."
The sword cultivator Proxy Agent didn’t hide this information. He wasn’t some bloodthirsty maniac who enjoyed killing unnecessarily. If conditions allowed, he didn’t mind leaving some path for people in this world to live.
Including these Unifiers, provided they were genuinely willing to abandon some knowledge.
The Unifiers might not know this information, and telling them might further split the natives of this world.
Natives who originally thought there was no way out might now find the situation not as dire. Such a revelation would significantly weaken thoughts of resistance, as the vast majority of people in this world were ordinary individuals.
Although they are undying and indestructible because of Project Immortality, the knowledge they possess is limited and does not undergo a qualitative change due to this characteristic.
"Is that so? What about the standards for relinquishing knowledge? Most of our members are ordinary people, and they are passively involved in Project Immortality as well."
"High school level knowledge, the specifics to be determined by Dusk."
"...That works, we will do our best to provide assistance, but our combat capabilities are not strong, and we will not actively engage in any battle, we ask for your understanding."
The sword cultivator Proxy Agent nodded: "Alright!"
"The place where you are has at least twelve hours of safe time, and we have prepared sufficient supplies here, so please make yourself at home."
"Twelve hours? That’s enough." The sword cultivator Proxy Agent looked toward another area, where indeed a shelf with various supplies, including weapons and ammunition, was placed.
Of course, weapons like firearms are unnecessary, and raw materials are even more useless.
The food is fine, as for medicines, although there are notes, he has no intention of using them. He trusts the faith market provided by ’Chang Qing’ more than the effects of those medicines.
The Dusk mercenaries cannot be fully trusted, but as fellow Proxy Agents, there’s little chance for them to stab each other in the back.
The life-type assistance provided by the faith market is extremely helpful to him.
His regenerative ability is not strong, and the life-type boosts from the Fervent Blood Life and Light of Life can significantly increase his recovery speed.
After severe damage to his Sword Bone, recovery to its original state would have been impossible in less than ten days to half a month, but now it can be restored to normal in about half a day.
Only his body will feel depleted, and the depleted part can be resolved using the medications he carries.
Every Proxy Agent traveling outside has some good life-saving items, right?
The twelve-hour time is more important for mental rest.
Finding a place to sit down, he reached out to stroke his weapon, feeling a slight pain in his heart; this weapon has taken on too much damage for him.
Unfortunately, the materials here are not good enough to feed the sword; otherwise, it could have repaired some of the weapon’s damage. To fully repair it, better materials are needed.
Of course, the quickest shortcut is to repair it with merit points at Dusk.
And he is more than willing to use merit points to do so.
Through Faith armament, he shared the experiences from his side.
Soon after, the sword cultivator Proxy Agent reopened his eyes. While sharing the information, Zheng Yichen also shared a lot of information; Lilith directly integrated their ’transmission point’.
A temporary information exchange platform was established, where information could be traced back and previous exchanges of intelligence could be checked.
While resting, he reviewed the latest intelligence. So far, the number of dead Proxy Agents has risen to seven.
If it weren’t for encountering the Unifiers organization, he might have been the eighth dead Proxy Agent.
The fact that the Unifiers have an organization is also important intelligence. Their ability to transcend boundaries is very helpful to Proxy Agents.
This boundary-crossing is not transferring within the same spatial environment, but directly moving to a new spatial environment, which is why he could escape the pursuit.
"The Unifiers organization." Zheng Yichen, after a short rest, looked at the latest exchanged intelligence, scrolling through the projection screen in front of him, reviewing the new intelligence collected by Lilith.
She had contacted the native inhabitants of this space and obtained more intelligence from them. These natives indeed lived a normal life here.
Aside from the undying and indestructible traits brought by Project Immortality, they had nothing particularly special.
Whether it was the knowledge they possessed or other skills, it mostly derived from time accumulation.
And some advanced knowledge isn’t something that can be mastered just with enough time. It can be learned, but don’t expect to become professional.
Although these natives become excellent warriors by going to war, their displayed upper limit is just that.
Studying and mastering Special Power isn’t impossible, but it must be unified; otherwise, it will just drag down and cancel each other out. The best way to improve oneself, ironically, is through physical training.
Regarding practicing Special Power, this parallel entity studied Fire type Magic, that one studied Water type Magic, and other parallel entities touched on Light type, Darkness type, Ice type, and some even practiced Inner Strength.
This wouldn’t give parallel entities multiple powers; they would just be wasting their efforts due to having too many power types.
Among the natives Lilith contacted, there were some who wanted to learn Magic. After struggling to make progress, they sought out many people through connections to learn the reason.
Zheng Yichen saw this as a kind of restriction by the local high-ranking officials.
The natives are undying and indestructible but have lost the opportunity to quickly become stronger. No matter how much individual training they do, they remain just another strong individual.
Mastering Special Power, unless all parallel entities can learn the same power, won’t lead to any improvement.
Everyone has so many parallel entities and there’s no need for malicious blockage and suppression; the vast majority of natives would always remain ’ordinary people’.
So... what would happen if the Unifiers practiced cultivation?
