I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1817 - 1268: You’re Going to Do That? (Part 2)
"Let’s eat first. I’m just introducing myself, it’s not a big deal." Zheng Yichen picked up his chopsticks. Lin Yaoyao’s cooking was quite sumptuous.
Though there were many people, there was definitely enough to eat. After all, in her own world, she had surpassed the Supreme Demon, and cooking a meal didn’t take much time. Even time-consuming dishes could be prepared quickly.
After finishing the meal, Zheng Yichen began his real task.
He created new World Bubbles. In the Genesis Environment, these World Bubbles maintained their initial form. The next step was to process these World Bubbles into a ’shoelace’ state.
As for how to carry them, Lilith had already completed the corresponding plan, using the World Tree fruit.
The growth rate of Zheng Yichen’s current World Tree was extremely high, having surpassed the World Tree in the original world.
The fastest growth of his World Tree was during the final battle of the Great World.
In order to create more Sky Mending chains, the World Tree had drawn a large amount of World Resources, which were mostly used to generate Sky Mending chains, but some still impacted the World Tree itself.
The World Resources of the Great World were so immense that even a small amount had a significant impact on the World Tree.
This caused the World Tree to grow extensively, with the Chaotic Sea Water inside increasing massively, forming a long river when released.
The World Tree, having grown to this level, made such results easy to achieve, even shaping the fruit into an existence similar to Senluo. However, Zheng Yichen’s World Tree had no independent will, or rather, its will was his own.
Therefore, even if he shaped it into something resembling Senluo, it would be essentially a special avatar of his.
Zheng Yichen had no strong feelings about the concept of using avatars.
Mainly because Lilith was already by his side, and with her many threads, what need did he have for an avatar?
When it came to multitasking, Lilith was the real expert, and besides, this time when Zheng Yichen forcibly occupied the Heavenly Path’s Body, Lilith took the opportunity to analyze it.
Although they didn’t acquire the legacy of the Boundary Breaking Organization, the Heavenly Path’s Body was the highest crystal of their achievements. Even without their legacy, analyzing it was enough.
The World Tree condensed fruit after fruit, which Zheng Yichen picked. Under the watchful eyes of Wu Lingluo and the others, he fused the World Tree fruit with the World Bubbles.
With the power of Life Creation, the fusion process went smoothly, and once completed, the fruit skin underwent a new transformation, becoming something akin to a World Barrier.
However, the state inside the World Bubble remained primitive, filled with thin Chaos Mist, needing abundant nourishment from the world and the outside to grow.
"...Hmm, it’s not that complicated after all." Zheng Yichen said in amazement, examining the few fruits in his hand, finding the plan Lilith provided rather troublesome. But after actually doing it, he found it surprisingly simple.
"Boss, you’re underestimating yourself. After occupying the Heavenly Path’s Body, you’ve undergone significant changes."
Perched on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, Lilith explained that although the Heavenly Path’s Body was bizarre and mutated, it originated from the true Heavenly Path’s Body.
Even though it wasn’t Zheng Yichen’s body, when used by him, it endowed him with many traits. While he wasn’t intimately aware of these traits, their relevance couldn’t be ignored.
Like how fish are natural swimmers and birds fly, when these traits appear in a human, unless they encounter water, they won’t exhibit fish-like traits, and the same goes for unthought-of flight.
Zheng Yichen was not ’self-aware’, but when he began accomplishing certain tasks, he naturally succeeded.
This wasn’t some ’Self-reflecting Power’, it was a ’natural-born’ trait, manifesting based on his needs.
If needed, it would activate, otherwise, it would maintain the current state according to his present demands.
Crafting fruits to carry the World Bubbles demonstrated this. If not, why claim the Heavenly Path’s Body as the highest crystal of the Boundary Breaking Organization?
Compared to the Heavenly Path’s Body, the items taken by the escaping Boundary Breakers seemed less important.
"What if I wanted to create a robot?"
"That robot wouldn’t be as good as me. If you need a toy, I can make plenty." Chibi-style Lilith swayed her little head, unintentionally brushing Zheng Yichen’s cheek.
"Ahem, how about crafting high-precision chips?"
"As long as you want, Boss, you can create things with the desired precision. For you, crafting those things is like stacking building blocks."
Even though the required precision was high, it depended on whom it concerned. The World Tree fruit Zheng Yichen crafted could not be matched by any high-precision equipment.
She could try, but the process would consume a lot of energy and time, unlike Zheng Yichen’s casual completion of the fruits in under an hour.
"I really am impressive." Zheng Yichen remarked casually, having confirmed that the fruits had no issues, and then dismantled the Genesis Environment.
"Alright, these seven fruits are test products. Let’s see how far they can go."
"Collect World Resources? That should be easy for us." Julie picked up a fruit: "We can directly go to the Devourers’ world and fill the fruits, or simply return to the Great World?"
"The Great World has already suffered enough, let’s not make it worse for them." Zheng Yichen waved his hand, as the Great World was crucial now.
Not extracting resources was already a blessing, let alone depleting the Great World of its World Resources?
"Let’s continue with the regular tasks. When the Extermination Order’s vacation ends, we’ll be quite busy."
The Dusk mercenaries were causing quite a stir, and many New Boundary Breaker Organizations were popping up like mushrooms after the rain, foretelling chaos in the Collective World over the next thousand years.
"Should I distribute some of these fruits?"
"Consider the consequences." Wu Lingluo said calmly, "Once the fruits are handed out, they’re no longer yours.
When the Dusk mercenaries abandon Dusk and harm the world, though it may not affect you directly, the deaths caused by these fruits will burden you."
"Then forget it." Zheng Yichen responded simply.
Wu Lingluo’s gaze softened considerably. Distributing the World Tree fruit was a way of giving people a chance to survive, but the casualties it caused were indeed innumerable.
If Zheng Yichen didn’t take seriously this matter, it would mean that after the last battle with the Boundary Breaking Organization, he had been affected.
At the very least, his psychological perception had shifted, and in unavoidable combat situations, he would not hesitate due to excessive casualties.
Especially since those casualties were unavoidable—failing to resolve primary issues would incite larger problems, and in wars, how could there be no deaths?
It’s wishful thinking to say war spares civilians. In an all-out war, all members of opposing sides are enemies.
But outside of warfare, Zheng Yichen refrained from instigating actions causing significant casualties, and spreading World Tree fruit was a double-edged sword.
The negative aspect was that many worlds would be affected and destroyed, resulting in countless mortalities.
The positive aspect was that once the World Tree fruit matured, it could hang upon Dusk even if collapse and destruction ensued, becoming a sanctuary after catastrophe.
What was once a fate of annihilation now offers a chance for some beings to continue—this is the positive side... yet the losses remain undeniable.
