I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1863 - 1291: The Least Important Question Right Now

Looking at Zheng Yichen, whose aura had become almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person, Wu Lingluo chuckled lightly and asked, "Did you have good luck this time too?"

Zheng Yichen had already applied self-imposed pressure on himself as he learned, and under its influence, he was now in a ’normal’ human state.

"It’s indeed not bad, but time is running short. I need to reserve two days at the end for self-arrangement." Zheng Yichen reached out to grab a nearby stone. Despite exerting force, the one-or-two-ton stone remained motionless.

"Phew, quite impressive self-imposed pressure." Zheng Yichen withdrew his hand. His physical strength hadn’t changed at all, but his power had been reduced to that of an ordinary person’s.

It’s equivalent to having a Constitution Attribute of 9999+, but a Strength of only 5. While his strength wasn’t formidable, it was still impossible for others to kill him.

Self-imposed pressure merely suppressed stored power, not weakening oneself comprehensively.

"Soft like a big doll," Wu Lingluo pinched Zheng Yichen’s arm. The vast disparity in strength allowed her to manipulate Zheng Yichen at will.

"Good luck indeed, keep looking to see if we can find other World Creators," she said.

The number of World Creators is not difficult to find, but those still alive and normal are few.

Finding so many World Creators ultimately comes down to the overwhelming number of Dusk mercenaries. These mercenaries provided enough intelligence; otherwise, Zheng Yichen might take a decade to find even one by himself, and that would be considered lucky.

This World Creator with self-imposed pressure was found among hundreds of Worlds he explored.

Lilith had numerous threads searching in other Worlds to confirm that information, and if anything suitable came up, Zheng Yichen would go there immediately.

Even so, he had encountered fewer than ten living World Creators so far.

"In this state, how strong can you become after liberation?"

"Very strong." Zheng Yichen clenched his fist; as an ordinary person, there was no feedback from doing so.

But after removing the self-imposed pressure and unleashing the suppressed power, he gently clenched his fist, causing the space to emit a sound as if it couldn’t bear the weight, and tiny fragments shattered apart from near his fist.

Wu Lingluo silently watched Zheng Yichen’s fist. In under five minutes of maintaining self-imposed pressure, he had managed to exert such extraordinary power.

"This is quite exaggerated," Wu Lingluo remarked sincerely.

Zheng Yichen explained, "It’s not that exaggerated. With my Regenerative Ability, even if my stamina is exhausted, it takes less than ten seconds to fully recover. Self-imposed pressure keeps me in a state of consumption, yet the consumed energy isn’t wasted—it’s stored up..."

Ordinary people are limited by their Regenerative Ability and can’t accumulate quickly, but someone like Zheng Yichen, with explosive regeneration, accumulates remarkably swiftly under the suppression of self-imposed pressure.

But what he’s showing now is just his physical strength; self-imposed pressure can also affect other aspects.

For example, the Inner Strength he mastered and his own Life Force can be subjected to heavy pressure, suppressing them to a very low level.

And, in this suppression, Regenerative Ability remains unaffected.

So the speed of accumulation through self-imposed pressure is not determined by one’s Strength attributes, but more importantly, by one’s Regenerative Ability.

If the Regenerative Ability is sufficient, you can quickly accumulate enough power.

"What about lifespan?"

"Um, it seems that can be suppressed too," Zheng Yichen thought for a moment and said. Self-imposed pressure is just a description, with many parts that can be pressured, given it’s a power from the World Creators.

He can also apply pressure on lifespan, affecting its external manifestation; yet the issue is that self-imposed pressure doesn’t genuinely restrain one’s power.

The initial purpose of this power was to overcome tribulations.

During safe periods, self-imposed pressure accumulates power, and when tribulations come, the stored power erupts to obliterate the calamity.

Because his lifespan is currently in a limited state, just adding another self-imposed pressure would only speed up his demise.

Without the influence of Oblivion, if Zheng Yichen applied self-imposed pressure on his lifespan, externally, he would age like a normal person.

But this aging is superficial; he’d grow old without actually dying of old age due to self-imposed pressure; at most, he would look as if he’s aged enough to enter his grave. However, even after decades or centuries, he’d remain the same.

Once self-imposed pressure is removed, he would instantly regain his youth, and the lifespan that was suppressed and stored would erupt, and that would be that.

Unless he encountered a tribulation that would cause him to die of old age instantly, such an eruption would be wasted effort, aimed at nothing. If he did encounter such a tribulation, the explosive lifespan would effectively counteract the calamity.

Wait, isn’t Oblivion’s depletion of lifespan also a kind of tribulation?

With that thought, Zheng Yichen decided: "It’s worth a try!"

"Be careful not to die," Wu Lingluo warned.

"Haha, I definitely won’t!" Zheng Yichen grinned, applying self-imposed pressure to the lifespan associated with Oblivion.

He underwent a swift transformation in Wu Lingluo’s eyes, his head full of black hair turned white in an instant, and his presence weakened along with it.
