I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 638 - 636 HCP

"Try it again."

Lin Yan stood with her hands on her hips in front of the White King.

Since Divine Power Tianyang had invaded the Illusion Dream Core, a year and a half had passed.

Lin Yan and Professor Li Xianping had taken over the HCP Foundation, and the organization had abruptly shrunk in size.

For internal security reasons and in order to transform the foundation from a secretive cult group into an organization that aimed to counter Divine Power Tianyang with technology and scientific strength, Lin Yan had conducted a major purge within the organization.

With the White King’s enhanced abilities, ordinary assassins and so-called financial powers could no longer bother her.

Moreover, Fujiwara Makoto, who was believed to have died in the collapse of the Illusion Dream Core, had been found by the White King, and Lin Yan now had absolute control over this vast organization.

Ambitious and conspiring figures had been dealt with; she retained only an exceptional team of genetic and bioengineers. At the same time, Lin Yan secretly reached out to some declining industrial and manufacturing tycoons.

After the era of internet disconnection arrived, chaos reigned worldwide, with economic trades virtually at a standstill and streets filled with doomsday survival alliances and cultists proclaiming the end of the world. The days of these tycoons had plunged drastically. This catastrophe was utterly different from the previous two world wars; it wasn’t a war between humans and even without using violence, Divine Power Tianyang had merely shown some miracles and people themselves had descended into chaos.

Currency lost its meaning, the financial sector and banks became completely useless, and the tycoons’ money devalued significantly. With the supply chains of raw materials and industries broken, everyone at each link became isolated.

But Lin Yan was well aware that the most valuable assets of the era were the manufacturing techniques, production equipment, and vast workforce that these tycoons controlled.

Lin Yan had witnessed the power of Divine Power Tianyang and seen His true form, so she could no longer regard Him as a human. The first thing she did upon returning to the foundation was to hold an emergency meeting, redefine Divine Power Tianyang, and establish the future mission of the foundation, which was to prevent at all costs the advent of the New World by Divine Power Tianyang.

After symbiotically merging with the White King, Lin Yan deeply realized that Black Medicine was not the answer. Having experienced this perfect fusion personally, she was very clear that Black Medicine was not the best way to counter Divine Power Tianyang.

Originally, Lin Yan felt completely at a loss, as Divine Power Tianyang was far more formidable than herself, and His capabilities far surpassed those of the White King. Together, she and the White King could not defeat Divine Power Tianyang.

But the return of Fujiwara Makoto gave her new hope.

The White King could create a world both real and fantastical in his sleep, His dreams could fabricate reality, and allow dreams to a certain extent to descend into the real world. Rather than saying the White King can manipulate time, it is better to say He can create new timelines.

Lin Yan hoped to leverage this power to construct a world similar to the real one, where she could fantasize a just Wei Tianyang who could then emerge and defeat this evil version.

However, in the past six months, Lin Yan had tested countless times, but White King was unable to simulate another Earth.

The reason was that its dreams and reality overlapped based on time. If the world in its dreams existed in the same time period as the real world, a phenomenon called "temporal stranding" would be triggered, causing the world of dreams to be stranded into reality. Therefore, White King did not like to dream much and preferred to stay in the Illusion Dream Core. If the creation of worlds in deep sleep was analogous to deep sleep, then the Illusion Dream Core would be akin to light sleep.

Another point was that the worlds created in dreams by Illusion Creation, based on White King’s own cognition, couldn’t imagine something it had never seen before. White King was not human, but this principle still applied. Its understanding of the human world was insufficient, so the world in its dreams was exceptionally monotonous, and the living beings it created were incomplete.

Moreover, White King did not love to sleep.

The scale of the world depended on how deeply White King slept and for how long. To construct another Earth in its dreams and keep it functioning until another Wei Tianyang was born and grew up... White King would need to fall into its deepest sleep and, ideally, never awaken.

Of course, it must not die.

White King was unwilling; it did not need to sleep. Thus, demanding it to have such a long dream was tantamount to demanding its self-imprisonment.

Lin Yan realized she couldn’t impose on White King to help save humanity. However, at this crucial moment, the only solution she could think of was this.

She wanted to adopt a compromise, to simulate a smaller environment, create a somewhat incomplete human, one that only needed that unmatched power, and then summon him as a weapon to slay gods.

But White King told her that after temporal stranding, part of the dream would be lost. That boundless superpower imagined in the dream would be filtered out in reality, and the mighty heroes of the dream world would become ordinary people upon arrival in reality.

Lin Yan thus settled for second best, hoping White King could construct a world in the dream with disasters like those of Divine Power Tianyang and then hope that the people of the dream world could find a solution. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Although White King repeatedly stated that this method was not feasible, Lin Yan still insisted that White King continue trying.

Over the six months, White King also became irritated. It was sullen, introvertedly cheerful, and began to show less enthusiasm towards Lin Yan, preferring to lay in the Foundation’s underground warehouse and play with Fujiwara Makoto’s malformed progeny, wanting nothing more to do.

Professor Li Xianping had also advised Lin Yan; it was best not to impose on White King anymore. After all, having spent a lot of time together, Lin Yan seemed to somewhat forget that White King was an alien and might lose its temper.

During this time, Fujiwara Makoto had no concerns or thoughts, quietly staying with her children. Compared to proactively saving the world and figuring out how to combat Divine Power Tianyang, she didn’t want to do anything. She often reminisced about long ago, her student life in elementary and middle school, and even those idle months in a small cabin on the mountain in Yin Country. The only thing she found odd was the atmosphere in Pei Guode Hotel, where Wei Tianyang had suddenly seemed like a different person and had even attempted to assassinate her.

Every day at dawn, Lin Yan would sit quietly in her room. She didn’t know why she had ended up here. In the past, she never thought she would someday coexist with an alien and take on the burden of saving the world, even though this world had not left her with many good impressions.

Opening the window, she looked out at the dilapidated factory and the desolate streetscape. The Foundation had moved several times and now gathered in a secluded, long-abandoned steel mill, using a network of dozens of generators to continue researching White King’s capabilities.

The golden speck in the sky was still clearly visible at night, illuminating Heisai State. She had a premonition that if not stopped, one day it would illuminate the whole world.
