I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1740 - 1223: Death Isn’t Enough
In the darkness, Zheng Yichen gazed at his surroundings and fell into contemplation. This was arguably his first death, and the feeling was indescribable at the moment. Anyway, there was no fear of death.
Typically, people feel nothing after death, but right now he was in a state between normal and abnormal.
It seemed like he was still alive, but also in a state of death. His perception was normal, and he could move his body, but he couldn’t escape this darkness.
"How long will this take?" Zheng Yichen muttered to himself, feeling like he had been in this state for a long time, and waiting like this was a bit uncomfortable.
Moreover, in this post-death state, his perception was still normal, and he could even use his strength. So...
Crack——
With the interference of Zheng Yichen’s willpower, the dark environment shattered like an eggshell being cracked, accompanied by a crisp breaking sound.
The darkness disappeared, and Zheng Yichen found himself in a twilight environment. Here, the sun was invisible, and the twilight glow was exactly the same as inside the Dusk Territory.
A multitude of phantoms were active here. Zheng Yichen could recognize them; these phantoms were all Dusk nuns. Even though they only had outlines, Zheng Yichen could see that all these phantoms were molded the same.
"What’s going on..." he murmured, attempting to take a step forward, realizing he could walk.
In that case, he decided to move around in this twilight, trying to find something different about this place.
The phantoms here and Zheng Yichen seemed not to be in the same environment. They continued with different movements, with some even passing directly through Zheng Yichen, which didn’t evoke any special feeling in him.
"Is there really nothing special about this place?" Zheng Yichen wondered slightly, feeling like it had been two hours already in his mind.
In this twilight space, the only reference point was those active phantoms.
But so far, Zheng Yichen hadn’t figured out the purpose of these phantoms.
As time went by, Zheng Yichen could still maintain a calm state of mind. He even had the idea to tinker around in here.
First was willpower interference. He tried interfering with those phantoms, and surprisingly it worked. A phantom in action changed its movements with his interference, and its appearance also underwent a corresponding change.
However, this change stopped halfway. Zheng Yichen felt a resistance. He didn’t forcefully break through it but instead switched to another way to continue the attempt.
Black substance gushed out from his palm, quickly transforming into a sapling, which started to take root and grow in the twilight space.
Looking at this miniature World Tree, Zheng Yichen tried other strengths, finding the Divine Domain usable but facing resistance, while the resistance to forceful Otherworld Transformation was even greater.
However, the forces that had resistance he did not force through but directly switched to other strengths, surprisingly discovering that his inner Heaven and Earth mental image encountered no substantial resistance.
Under the influence of his inner Heaven and Earth mental image, the twilight space shifted states.
Even though it was just a superficial shift, it felt novel to Zheng Yichen.
This was because his inner Heaven and Earth mental image completed the transformation easily, without any expenditure.
Moreover, the scope of this transformation seemed ridiculous to Zheng Yichen. In normal circumstances, his inner Heaven and Earth mental image could only manifest a tiny part of it.
But in this place, the mental image of the inner Heaven and Earth fully manifested, and the twilight space showed immense inclusivity, reflecting the extent of Zheng Yichen’s mental image.
"Isn’t this amazing?" With this thought, Zheng Yichen appeared beneath the World Tree, discovering an additional piece of the Dusk Territory.
Though not large in area, it was indeed the Dusk Territory Zheng Yichen was familiar with, with only one lonely Dusk nun present.
Zheng Yichen suddenly realized that after the expansion of his mental image of the inner Heaven and Earth here, those Dusk nun phantoms in the twilight space had completely vanished.
Previously, when he tried using other strengths, they hadn’t affected those phantoms; theoretically, the mental image of the inner Heaven and Earth shouldn’t have affected them either.
In this mental image where the Dusk Territory should not exist, Tia said to the arriving Zheng Yichen, "When you’re done playing, get ready to leave."
"I wouldn’t call it playing," Zheng Yichen reflected on his actions in the twilight space and decisively chose not to continue that topic, curiously asking, "Where is this place?"
"You can regard this as a resting room."
"A resting room?" Zheng Yichen was even more puzzled by this place, wondering whom this resting area was for. Fallen proxy agents? He considered that he might have died a bit earlier than Wu Lingluo and the others.
Yet, he had been here for a while without seeing Wu Lingluo and the others.
"You can choose to stay here if you wish."
"Uh, what are the consequences of staying here for an extended time? I won’t be unable to revive, right?" Zheng Yichen inquired. He had already prepared to die for this operation.
In his private room, he had preserved his flesh and blood to ensure the completeness of his resurrection, avoiding the lack of certain materials after death, not because he distrusted the Dusk.
It was just that having never properly died before, he was slightly nervous about this impending first time; it was better to use what he had prepared if necessary, otherwise, it would be even better.
