I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1824 - 1271: Who’s the Real Fool? (Part 2)
Moreover, in the past half month, apart from refining the fruits, Zheng Yichen hasn’t stopped other endeavors, such as spreading news. The Scales of Trade he once dispersed have come into play.
Through the connected nodes established by those items, Zheng Yichen easily further spread the news, rather than having it monopolized by a single Boundary Breaking Organization.
Of course, half a month is merely a beginning, and the information will be spread wider and wider thereafter.
For the Boundary Breakers coming here, it’s nothing more than wasting a day’s time to observe the situation.
"This is a World Tree fruit, containing an independent secret realm inside, which ensures a world-like completeness for countless lives within."
Zheng Yichen presented a World Tree fruit, and seeing the slightly skeptical Dusk mercenaries, he smiled and said, "Now, this item is priced at one Merit Point, possessing the testimonial nature of Dusk."
Zheng Yichen gave this item for free; others might not trust its corresponding effect, but transactions witnessed by Dusk are highly credible, and the price of one Merit Point is affordable for any Dusk mercenary.
Looking at the quantity of fruits Zheng Yichen presented, it’s already no less than ten thousand.
It’s apparent that Zheng Yichen truly intends to actively combat collapse and destruction, though some have developed ambitions because of this.
Secret realm? Perhaps that’s just an evasive term; such items might indeed substitute the entire world, or to a certain extent. But this substitution affects other worlds, hence the phrasing.
Isn’t this the very thing some of them have long dreamed of?
"However, this item also bears some degree of danger. For example, once collapse and destruction occur, what remains will be the Dusk Territory; this item, wanting to persist, can only be anchored in the Dusk Territory, meaning everything inside will be encompassed within the realm of Dusk Territory."
Zheng Yichen’s words curbed the ambitions of some people, a reality hard to avoid. Once someone causes world destruction, it equates to betrayal of Dusk, making future attempts to anchor in Dusk a mere fantasy.
Deliver World Tree fruits here? Ultimately it’ll serve as bridal attire for others; all traitors will face reckoning in the collapse and destruction.
If Zheng Yichen’s offerings prove more feasible, then their current decision to observe rather than directly defy Dusk is indeed fortunate.
"Besides, for those genuinely intending to counter collapse and destruction, this item poses no problem. Alright, the item description is over, interested parties may take it themselves."
Seeing the World Tree fruits Zheng Yichen had laid out, some Dusk mercenaries immediately went to inquire with those Dusk nuns, and once they confirmed Zheng Yichen’s information held true, they swiftly snatched up all the World Tree fruits.
Just one Merit Point, how expensive could it be?
Even if there’s an issue, as long as it meets Zheng Yichen’s claims, it’s still worthwhile.
After purchasing, some Dusk mercenaries sensed the curse embedded in the World Tree fruit, internally sneering — just as expected.
When Zheng Yichen explained the item, he mentioned "genuinely desiring to counter collapse and destruction," which implied certain conditions.
If genuine intentions are the starting point, can there truly be no limits?
Upon interacting with this item, feeling the curse above, they immediately understood the so-called limitations.
The curse forces those attempting to master the World Tree fruit to sincerely pursue the continuation of all beings, offering numerous benefits, but also deterring unchecked ambition and tyranny. One can be a tyrant, a ruler, but the starting point for using this item must remain unchanged.
Furthermore, since the item must be anchored in Dusk, users next must painstakingly cultivate the World Tree fruit, allowing the world within its secret realm to genuinely prosper.
Major issues cannot be created during the process, otherwise, the qualification to anchor in Dusk will vanish, regardless of any unfortunate individual used to bear the cost, yet subsequent recipients of the item will still suffer relevant curses.
If lacking the intent for life’s continuation, forcing mastery of such an item, the backlash will be more severe.
Zheng Yichen placed much emphasis on the term "genuine."
The selection criteria of this item aren’t stringent, yet many present cannot satisfy them, although they have alternative strategies. Now a significant number of Dusk mercenaries have integrated into new organizations.
Clearing the curse using the merit points obtained through organizational integration is viable, isn’t it?
Such a simple task.
With this mindset, loud inquiries were directed at the Dusk nun, asking how many merit points were needed to lift the curse from the World Tree fruits. Since these items are merely objects, as long as they can be properly brought into the Dusk Territory, Dusk can handle them.
This category of individuals is considered audacious, while other Dusk mercenaries coldly observe, pondering the World Tree fruit in their hands.
The restrictions Zheng Yichen has devised are not real restrictions for those genuinely intent on life’s continuation — the so-called curse is actually a unique form of protection.
Bearing the curse equates to possessing a unique Heaven’s Mandate, as if receiving full blessing from the World’s Will, granting immense strength to accomplish the task.
The initial capital given is ample, ensuring those with true intent aren’t powerless.
But for those with ambitions elsewhere, this substantial initial start-up capital becomes a genuine burden.
However, having such thoughts doesn’t mean they wish to accept these limitations...
"Ten thousand Primordial points, or Life Essence with Genesis Power and 50 merit points." The inquired Dusk nun promptly provided an answer.
Those Dusk mercenaries with a hint of provocation instantly froze, incredulously gazing at the Dusk nun: "Primordial points?"
The Dusk nun refrained from further response, having already conveyed the main information understandable by those present. The inquiry wasn’t made by a Proxy Agent, thus the answer naturally wouldn’t be as comprehensive.
Even those who coldly observed these brazen Dusk mercenaries had no further opinions; they couldn’t comprehend how Zheng Yichen accomplished this, requiring such significant cost to nullify the curse.
However, the continuation feasibility that the World Tree fruits possess is undeniably solid. Ten thousand Primordial points! Even a Proxy Agent, starting from initiation till now, may struggle to amass enough.
Or perhaps it’s merely a target to be seen. Assuming collapse and destruction occur ten thousand years hence, someone may have enough accumulated, but a thousand years is far too short.
Even if there’s a chance to accumulate sufficiently, how many can achieve it? The alternative curse removal method requires only 50 merit points, unrestricted by merit point type.
Yet it demands Life Essence with Genesis Power from Zheng Yichen.
It’s evident such items are not merely blood or similar; even if normal Life Essence taken from him might be useless, only those imbued with Genesis Power would suffice.
"The next batch of fruits will be on sale in a month; those with intentions remember to help spread the word," Zheng Yichen told the stunned Dusk mercenaries.
"These things aren’t easy to make either, I need some time to brew..."
The silent Dusk mercenaries hesitated to speak, as Zheng Yichen’s slightly provocative expression mirrored theirs moments ago — who is truly foolish?
Surely they understand; since Zheng Yichen can present the World Tree fruits in Dusk Territory at this moment, it’s evident he has made complete preparations.
Even presenting them might have already been confirmed through Dusk, right?
Ten thousand Primordial points — integrating others’ merit points can no longer accomplish this.
To utilize the World Tree fruit effectively, one must adhere to the life’s continuation curse, or find suitable individuals to wield it...
