I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1816 - 1268: You’re Going to Do That?

"Ah, you’re awake. You slept for quite a while, really exhausted, huh." Julie looked over Zheng Yichen, nodding when she confirmed he seemed in good spirits.

Then she leaned in and touched his chest, feeling Zheng Yichen’s heartbeat: "Seems like your body has recovered well."

She could sense that Zheng Yichen’s heartbeat wasn’t faked; it was genuine.

"Two days isn’t that long, and besides, I had an interesting dream." Zheng Yichen said with a smile, as Wu Lingluo also arrived here. He wasn’t sure what had happened in the outside world in those two days.

But the short time span suggested nothing major had occurred.

Zheng Yichen sat down and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zheng Yichen."

"All right, all right, we know you used a fake name before." Julie waved her hand nonchalantly, indicating that it wasn’t important.

Wu Lingluo added, "I’ve been to a world where names are very significant."

"Like in my world." Tanshia Firlo quickly chimed in.

The Dragon Tribe inherently have true names, which are long and complex and spoken in Dragon Language, so their true names wouldn’t cause trouble like some demons if discovered.

Even if someone knew it, as long as they didn’t understand Dragon Language or couldn’t speak it, they couldn’t affect the Dragon Tribe.

It only impacts someone when a Dragon Tribe member solemnly conveys their true name to them, allowing even non-speakers of Dragon Language to understand the name.

Zheng Yichen’s given name is somewhat different from a Dragon’s true name. It should be just an initial name given by parents, nothing more.

In fact, most entities don’t have a "true name"; it’s more like an initial name that becomes associated with the person over time.

Therefore, the name Zheng Yichen mentioned can’t be called a true name, but rather a real name.

Of course, Zheng Yichen formally introducing his name, along with his strength, does have some influence.

The influence means that even a stranger, hearing his name in passing, despite forgetting his appearance, wouldn’t forget the name, and would remember Zheng Yichen upon seeing him again.

Other aspects of this power depend on Zheng Yichen’s thoughts. If he desires, when someone mentions his name in the future, he can sense it.

Right now, it’s just that Zheng Yichen abandoned the new ’real name’ and used his original name.

Indeed, in Wu Lingluo’s perception, Zheng Yichen’s previous alias ’Chang Qing’ also held influence, since no one knew his original real name before.

If there aren’t records of his real name elsewhere, the first name he used would become his real name.

In the world Wu Lingluo mentioned, if someone used a new real name and connected intimately with that world, it would link their new name to their real name.

"Then why use the name Chang Qing?" Lin Yaoyao asked promptly at this moment.

She sensed that Zheng Yichen discarding this name was like giving up something else.

Now that Zheng Yichen brought it up, she immediately pursued the question.

"Ah, I was leading a rather rough life back then, and had some risks due to my skills, so I wanted an auspicious name for myself." Zheng Yichen explained with a smile.

Everyone present understood, as their own traditions also involved using or changing names to try and eliminate certain influences.

For Zheng Yichen, who faced shortness of life due to risks, seeking a powerful name was reasonable.

"More importantly, I appeared suddenly in the Misty City World back then, unfamiliar and undocumented, knowing nothing, so I was very cautious in my actions. Later, well, I became who I am now."

Zheng Yichen felt his heartbeat. His body recovered partially, but his lifespan hadn’t changed. If he unwrapped the bandages now, he would reveal a wounded, flesh-filled incomplete body.

The bandages Tia had applied had become a presentable layer of skin. Without them, he’d appear as a ’superficially injured’ humanoid monster.

Julie asked, "And your native world?"

"Not here. To me, the Misty City World is my native world."

Presently, Katrina and the others were confused, while Wu Lingluo and other Proxy Agents showed understanding. Dusk could accomplish almost anything.

It’s just about what can and can’t be done. Zheng Yichen’s current injuries were severe, but for Dusk, they weren’t insurmountable, although normal methods wouldn’t work, but unconventional methods would suffice.

Zheng Yichen currently had three preserved chances, meaning he could reset his physical state through Dusk three times.

A full lifespan reset, and with some effort, killing a few new Boundary Breakers to stockpile three to five more chances, and so his future would be assured?

Dragging it out until the Collective World collapses and is destroyed poses no problem.

But Dusk didn’t seem capable of returning Zheng Yichen to his native world. If his original world was already destroyed, that would be one thing, but if not, the first thought would be of a presence like outside world bugs.

However, Zheng Yichen was clearly not any bug, but a regular person. Although differences arise between people due to differing world environments, the gap isn’t too vast.
