I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1851 - 1286: The Price of the Undefeatable Golden Body
"Why does this thing feel worse than Oblivion?" Zheng Yichen looked at a strand of gray hair in his hand. As the set time approached, his mindset instead calmed down.
He could even settle down to conduct some special research, pondering the Time Power.
The impact brought by Oblivion he could still recover on his own, but the impact of manipulating time wasn’t something he could recover from on his own, and his kind of manipulation wasn’t the kind that directly splits the timeline...
In Lilith’s Simulated World, the way of manipulating timelines isn’t considered True Time Power, and also falls under the category of ’Fake Time’.
Because that kind of manipulation directly separates out a parallel space with a different timeline, rather than causing some time change in the current world.
Only ensuring the current world doesn’t split while influencing time can be considered True Time Power.
The Collective World doesn’t have any substantive parallel spaces, so manipulation of Time Power is extremely strict, avoiding situations where the timeline changes easily.
If this world were lenient towards parallel worlds, then in manipulating Time Power, it would likely directly jump to the situation of splitting out a new parallel world.
But with strict rules, the result is that it’s difficult to have a timeline split situation, making the manipulation of True Time Power even stricter.
Otherwise, with Zheng Yichen’s current manipulation of ’time’, he could genuinely create a bunch of different timelines in this world.
Unfortunately, this world does not allow other timelines; everything is unified. Therefore, no matter how he fiddles, the most he could do externally is speed up or slow down, which is using Fake Time Power.
And the manipulation of True Time Power still applies only to himself, stemming from that Temporal Explosion incident that involved True Time.
Even so, due to the nature of the world itself, this power cannot exert any significant external influence.
If this world were a bit more lenient in this regard, wouldn’t he already be a Time Lord by now?
Now? At most, he can activate an Undefeatable Golden Body, but doing so has severe consequences.
This would result in a more pronounced discrepancy between his own time and reality, leading to his body chasing after the current time. As for accelerating to catch up?
The idea is nice, but the problem lies in being unable to catch up.
The use of True Time Power can only halt, and while it’s not impossible to catch up with the overall time, Zheng Yichen can’t achieve that.
When using True Time Power on himself, the impact range is limited to him, while the overall time, apart from himself, remains unchanged.
To have himself catch up with the overall time, he would need to ensure the entire world’s time is affected by True Time Power while he remains normal, to realign with the time of the Collective World.
How can he manage that?
As for repairing the synchronization of time, it’s possible for others, but he bore the Temporal Explosion. This explosion hurt him, but didn’t cause substantial damage.
The impact displayed was not on the physical level, but on the temporal level.
Zheng Yichen hadn’t noticed this problem before, only realizing it after trying to deepen his understanding of Time Power.
This time wound prevents him from aligning with the current time, yet he still has to chase the normal time.
This leads to him having to bear the corresponding temporal cost...his discrepancy with normal time causes him to bear the burden of this discrepancy, in other words, his aging speed is faster!
Zheng Yichen himself wouldn’t seem to live longer than others just because his time is slower than normal, on the contrary, this slowness drags down normal time, and the burden of the dragged part falls onto him.
Of course, according to Dusk, the influence of this type of impact on him is limited; the burden brought by subtle temporal differences isn’t a big issue for Zheng Yichen, who once truly shared the lifespan of heaven!
Even now, the impact isn’t too great, the real threat to him is still the impact of Oblivion. If it weren’t for Oblivion, he could still live until the Collective World’s explosion.
But if Zheng Yichen actively manipulates time causing injury, it greatly affects him, and this white hair is a result of his own attempts.
Through the Temporal Explosion’s time scars, he can apply a special Undefeatable Golden Body to himself, but the downside is that it further accentuates his discrepancy with current time.
This is not a skill that just consumes blue bars or blood bars and can be used without limit, but one that directly consumes life... no, it’s beyond just consuming life.
Life consumption also involves the blood bar, at most it affects the maximum blood bar.
Zheng Yichen’s situation can be considered as depleting his own existence, lifespan, and once the side effects appear, they never stop.
It’s really beyond life consumption.
Each time he uses the Undefeatable Golden Body, it means bearing a larger temporal discrepancy cost.
Currently, he only bears the cost of a 0.1 second discrepancy. Using the Undefeatable Golden Body for an additional 0.1 second means doubling the cost.
So this method is something he can’t use many times; when tested, it only resulted in one extra gray hair, if he tests more, it won’t just be a few gray hairs.
"If only I could accelerate myself." Zheng Yichen sighed. The acceleration and deceleration of True Time Power directly affect either the entire world or oneself, Zheng Yichen can ascertain that.
