I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1781 - 1247: Not Enough Time to Leave You an Heir (Part 2)
But no matter how much stronger people like this become in the future, no matter how much they struggle, their lifespan will not increase, it will only decrease.
One can imagine what would happen to those indigenous superpowers, who became such due to the Heavenly Lifespan, when they leave their native world and lose that lifespan.
In that world, the way Boundary Breakers dealt with them was by extracting Heavenly Lifespan, adjusting its parameters to lower the guaranteed lifespan, in order to obtain energy to cultivate the Boundary Breaking core.
Previously, when Zheng Yichen dealt with the Boundary Breaking Organization’s ’Supernova’ warriors, those entities seemed to have used a power akin to ’Heavenly Lifespan’, and in an extremely extreme manner.
In the native world of Heavenly Lifespan, they count in years over there, whereas here, it’s counted in days.
Now, Zheng Yichen has essentially been granted ’Heavenly Lifespan’. Within its scope, Zheng Yichen will not experience any decline; if he is allowed two hundred years, he can indeed live for two hundred years without illness or pain.
Unless he dies from an accident, if not, after two hundred years, not a second more.
For ordinary people, two hundred years is not short; after all, ordinary people often don’t even reach seventy or eighty, yet Zheng Yichen lives two or three times that.
"By the way, how long were you able to live before?" Julie curiously asked. Since Zheng Yichen paid with his lifespan for this strengthening, surely he asked Dusk in advance?
"With Dusk," Zheng Yichen thought and said, longevity equating to a world is limited, to explain it wasn’t precise; living with Dusk was no problem.
Dusk is spread across every world as long as this Collective World exists, then Dusk will persist.
Even if this world ends, after Dusk disappears, he can still linger for a while.
"Your cost isn’t ordinary, but if we can’t solve the Extermination Order, it means nothing." Julie clicked her tongue: "Time is of the essence, we better work hard, two hundred years is too little to leave anything for you, let’s have more."
"Alright, let’s resolve the Extermination Order first."
Zheng Yichen exhaled, looking towards the location of the Boundary Breaking Organization, even though they surrounded the organization, the pressure from it grew greater and greater.
Of more than ten thousand Proxy Agents, now less than a third remain, the rest went elsewhere, preparing to do some hard work.
And the Proxy Agents here don’t want to leave; someone must watch, and once other Proxy Agents return to shift, they will leave.
As for what those Proxy Agents are doing, Zheng Yichen doesn’t pay attention; each Proxy Agent is versatile, and without a doubt, if they were to cause destruction, they wouldn’t be inferior to those Boundary Breakers.
"Come with me," Zheng Yichen retracted his gaze, "and I’ll show you my new power."
"Oh? Like an enlightened one?" Wu Lingluo raised her eyebrows slightly, "If this can end smoothly, how about I accompany you for two hundred years?"
"You’re the Empress, yet you’re still thinking about such things, not maintaining your rule?" Julie glanced at Wu Lingluo, intending to kick this fox away.
"Is there a conflict?"
"No." Julie pouted, only saying it, does two hundred years of living affect Zheng Yichen’s importance?
It doesn’t; in fact, because of Zheng Yichen’s current power, if he leaves offspring, it would indeed be a case of "mother elevated by her child’s status."
It’s just that the disparity in lifeform level makes it not so easy for Zheng Yichen to have offspring, those stories of powerful beings having offspring with ordinary people are purely fantastical tales.
Regardless of whether the ordinary person is male or female, it’s the same; the former’s genetic material entering is like bacteria entering a high concentration disinfectant, leaving nothing, not even as pure as water.
For the latter...let’s first see if the potential mother has the physical foundation to bear children.
Inside the Firmament Wheel, Zheng Yichen stood beneath the World Tree, lifting his palm. A speck of black appeared in his hand; the moment it appeared, the surroundings turned black, like the world during the Oblivion period Zheng Yichen once observed.
The World Tree became an island in the darkness here, just like when Zheng Yichen looked out from the Dusk Territory back then.
The last light source in the world disappeared, turning the Dusk Territory into the only reference point in the darkness.
This was Zheng Yichen narrowing the influence range of Oblivion; otherwise, its scope could cause the entire Firmament Wheel to halt.
Even at a small scope, people here still felt a strong discomfort, as if, if not careful, they would be swallowed by darkness.
A beam of White Light then emerged in this darkness, dispelling it, turning the environment into a gray state, significantly lowering the mental pressure on people.
The White Light that tinges the surrounding darkness into gray is the power of Genesis.
Whether Genesis can surpass Oblivion, Zheng Yichen is unsure. Yet, when comparing them, Oblivion has always nearly completely countered Genesis; for Genesis to overcome Oblivion’s influence, it must be several times more powerful.
At equal strength, Genesis merely delays and weakens the influence of Oblivion.
In this sense, Oblivion is certainly stronger than Genesis, for Oblivion only needs to pursue extreme destruction, whereas Genesis involves too much, lacking the purity of Oblivion.
Yet, when Oblivion recedes or cools because there’s nothing to destroy, that’s when Genesis takes over.
Genesis in full play can eradicate the cooled Oblivion, bringing new things into the void territories Oblivion created.
If the world were a hard drive, Oblivion is not reformatting it, but a massive shredder that thoroughly obliterates the drive.
When the shredder stops, Genesis recreates a new hard drive.
Currently, Zheng Yichen’s usage of Genesis is far inferior to Oblivion, especially after strengthening with Annihilation Crystal.
The power of Oblivion utterly overwhelms his use of Genesis Power. Tia said that he is now ’Oblivion’ itself, yet how genuine that is, Zheng Yichen does not know.
Since it was Tia who said it, he doesn’t feel as if he can easily destroy a world.
Perhaps because his environment is the Great World?
Genesis and Oblivion are opposed, yet the gap on him is too large. However, Zheng Yichen can balance the gap through Equilibrium.
And the balance brought by Equilibrium is not lowering Oblivion’s power to balance Genesis, but forcefully equating Genesis to Oblivion’s level.
No quality affected, only output; however, once you introduce Disequilibrium, it can greatly enhance, as long as there is no pursuit of Yin-Yang balance, there’s no impact.
He’s already using Disequilibrium, still thinking about balance? That idea itself is playing power to extremes, thinking of balance is greedy.
But the Genesis brought to parity with Oblivion through Equilibrium still cannot surpass Oblivion.
So, in environments influenced by Oblivion, you can only turn the environment into this gray state, doing more is impossible, and at this point, Zheng Yichen is still using Equilibrium mode.
Oblivion and Genesis coexist within oneself, since Tia says he is ’Oblivion’ itself, now, he should also be ’Genesis’ itself, right?
"This place feels like a junction between chaos and order," Tongyue observed the gray environment, admitted, she kind of likes environments influenced by Oblivion.
The painful mental pressure generated in the darkness can make her body extremely active.
In Oblivion, she might be able to unleash a beyond-limit attack, even if the outcome is a dead end, but she has reserved attempts, right?
"This is the coexistence environment of Oblivion and Genesis in Equilibrium."
Zheng Yichen explained; without Equilibrium’s balance, this would not be a gray patch of environment, but a fierce black and white conflict.
Reaching such a degree? Wu Lingluo saw the added unknown in her gaze towards Zheng Yichen, feeling more like a special weapon cultivated by Dusk.
Of course, Zheng Yichen reaching this point also relates to his experiences and choices; if he lacked determination, unwilling to use Annihilation Crystal to enhance himself, he wouldn’t have achieved this.
An approximate infinite lifespan, not everyone wants to forgo.
"So what’s next?" Wu Lingluo was interested in Zheng Yichen’s next step.
"The next step? It’s like this—" Shifting from Equilibrium to Disequilibrium, Oblivion retreated, turning the gray environment around Zheng Yichen into pure white.
