I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1672 - 1178: Can You Not Be Like This?

"Boss, you can try searching from the side of Hell."

"I’ll give it a try." Zheng Yichen waved his hand and made a slash to the side. In the next instant, an eye resembling a black hole stared at him. Without any hesitation, Zheng Yichen promptly closed the Gate of Hell he had opened.

Currently, the Hell of the Great World seemed quite unfriendly to him, glaring fiercely the moment he opened the door.

If he had closed the door even a bit later, the Will of Hell from the Great World would have directly attacked him.

Shaking his head, Zheng Yichen said, "I better just go back."

There wasn’t much point in exploring in this manner; better to return now and manage his base better.

During his time away from Dragon City Planet, its development hadn’t ceased, and with Zheng Yichen was Lilith’s true form. Meanwhile, on Dragon City Planet, another body of Lilith existed.

In Lilith’s Virtual World, she continually simulated and deduced numerous new pieces of knowledge.

All these deductions revolved around the powers that Zheng Yichen mastered, such as the utilization of the power of the stars.

The current deduction had already reached its limit, and to proceed further, Zheng Yichen would need to operate it personally.

Dragon City Planet didn’t have many advantages in the Great World, so they needed to accumulate advantages whenever possible, leveraging any power they could.

On the Dragon City side, Ahn Qi and her companions had already explored many phenomena and sent the Scales of Trade designed by Zheng Yichen, establishing new connections between the worlds associated with the phenomena and Dragon City Planet.

Without the powers from this Great World, they had to acquire power from other worlds.

"Seems like there’s nothing left." On his way back, Zheng Yichen deliberately slowed his pace to see if the Boundary Breaking Organization had any other plans.

If they still intended to use him, they surely would try to intercept him, but as he ascended, he only faced attacks from the Earth-shattering Cannon.

Zheng Yichen didn’t intend to resist this weapon; its power was way too overwhelming.

The Planetary Defense Array could withstand the Earth-shattering Cannon, but that’s under the premise that Dragon City Planet had sufficient mass.

For Zheng Yichen to face it alone would simply be asking for trouble.

Even after gaining the Undying Life Flame from Vermilion Bird, such an attack would be hard-pressed to kill him, but being unable to die doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt!

When the Undying Life Flame burned, even without being attacked, Zheng Yichen could feel the agony of life being ignited.

He could endure it just because his tolerance was strong; not crying out when in pain doesn’t mean he could truly ignore the impact.

So when faced with the Earth-shattering Cannon sniper attack, Zheng Yichen didn’t hesitate to respond forcefully.

A black spear imbued with Destruction Power descended from the sky, directly piercing through the firing area of the Earth-shattering Cannon.

Zheng Yichen smoothly returned to Dragon City Planet.

Having been away for a while, the place now resembled the City of Machines more closely.

The survivors here had long surpassed their initial panic; human adaptability is indeed strong.

However, after glancing at the report Lilith handed over, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but shake his head; many of the natives chose to leave Dragon City, venturing into other worlds through those phenomena.

In response, Lilith even formulated an immigration policy. She wasn’t reliant on such a large population, and although mass immigration might reduce productivity.

Dragon City’s productivity had long been liberated from such limits.

Moreover, some wanted to immigrate while others preferred to stay, so on the whole, the population loss wasn’t severe.

The influx of external populations replenished the loss, and the high standard of living in Dragon City made it undesirable for some to leave.

Even if all the natives left, it wouldn’t have mattered; the Dusk Mercenary Group was keen to develop the city well...

"What is this?" Tongyue asked as she looked at a test tube Zheng Yichen took out, containing a burning flame.

"Vermilion Bird’s blood, possessing the power of undying life." Zheng Yichen had collected a considerable amount of this blood, and Lilith had conducted some tests on it.

The strength of the Vermilion Bird was too high; its blood possessed the power of undying life, yet it was beyond what other beings could endure.

Any being coming into contact with such blood wouldn’t stand a chance of obtaining undying life, as they’d be instantly incinerated until nothing remained.

Even the creatures Zheng Yichen crafted using the Ark of Life couldn’t withstand the Undying Life Flame.

Him being able to withstand it didn’t mean those created by the Ark of Life could too.

Those created life forms could, at most, live a bit longer because of Zheng Yichen’s augmentation, gaining near-undying characteristics physically.

But once their life force exhausted, they’d die completely.

However, Zheng Yichen could use the Undying Life Flame to make something special.

Previously, he had crafted a special ’Rebirth Cross Badge’ using the Ark of Life, based on the life roundworm developed by Ahn Ke, and now, leveraging the Undying Life Flame, he could strengthen related items.

"This thing can burn one’s life force and gain stronger regenerative ability..." Zheng Yichen hadn’t finished speaking when Tongyue directly tucked the test tube away.

"Thank you, I’ll be waiting for you clean and fresh in bed tonight."

"...Why are you all like this?" Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

Clutching the test tube with fondness, Tongyue said, "I can also prepare whips, thorns..."

Stop, stop, stop! Zheng Yichen hurriedly interrupted Tongyue, who was getting more and more twisted.

Tongyue, seeming quite justified, said, "I’ve received this much from you, and I’m still your ally. It’s not right not to repay such great kindness, so I can only offer myself to you."

"Hmph, you see things quite clearly!" Julie hummed with crossed arms.

She instantly saw through Tongyue’s little scheme. Zheng Yichen didn’t have any strong desire to dominate. What would happen if she gave herself entirely to him?

If he didn’t accept, it didn’t matter, but if he did, it meant providing additional security to the person involved.

As for the whips and thorns Tongyue mentioned, those were her private indulgences, simply wanting to experience pain.

"Wait for me tonight."

"Don’t!" Zheng Yichen’s voice was loud, but Tongyue acted as if she hadn’t heard, immediately heading towards the Dusk Territory.

The moment she touched such blood, she felt a strong resonance, which wasn’t as Zheng Yichen had described.

Something about burning life force in exchange for stronger regenerative ability was hardly mentioned.

Not to mention, continually burning one’s life force was surely painful, let alone in the form of flames.

She wanted to try this; of course, after arriving at the Dusk Territory, Tongyue displayed rationality.

First, through the Dusk nun, she inquired about compatibility, ensured there were genuinely no issues and it wouldn’t weaken her powers, before using this blood material.

The Undying Life Flame, such an anticipated thing, and until now, her limit had been her body’s endurance, pursuing the life type just to increase that endurance limit.

And this entity could significantly enhance her endurance limit.

Thus, she enhanced!

That night, Tongyue stormed over to Zheng Yichen, her girl-next-door demeanor completely replaced by an uncontrollable excitement.

Even so, when she found Zheng Yichen, she still politely knocked on his door instead of choosing to burst in due to over-excitement.

"Well... I really need you!"

"No, why are you all like this?" Zheng Yichen rubbed his forehead, feeling like these life type Proxy Agents around him all had issues.

Du Gang, who didn’t follow the life type, seemed quite normal.

"Because you’re special, no time? I can come back later if you’re too busy."

"No, let’s do it now." Zheng Yichen sighed, stepping out from the bedroom.

Tongyue immediately showed a regretful expression, raising her palm: "It’s uncomfortable, I can’t burn through more of my life force."

After burning a third of her life force, she could suppress it no longer; the recovery speed was too fast for her to press down no matter how hard she tried.

Even finding Julie failed, and without resorting to Destruction, she almost drained Julie but still hadn’t achieved the desired level.

Julie was now provoked, retreating into seclusion to study her cursed physique.

Therefore, Tongyue thought of Zheng Yichen, since the blood material came from Vermilion Bird via him.

Given Vermilion Bird’s possession of such Undying Life Flame, surely it could be wielded better, and since Zheng Yichen had resolved Vermilion Bird, he must have a way to further press down her life force state.

Even if it seemed like a combat or stakeout situation, doing so could let her discern her current limit.

"I want you to whip me with a lash imbued with Undying Flame."

"..." Zheng Yichen, who wasn’t into such kinks, felt rather twisted himself.
