I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1875 - 1295: Refusal (2)

This is also why Tia said Zheng Yichen could survive until the world completely disappears. Even if the world is gone, as long as Zheng Yichen is alive, he can exist in a void.

Achieving this extent is not because Zheng Yichen’s physique is strong enough, but because he has an Independent System maintaining himself.

No matter how accurate Dusk’s predictions for Zheng Yichen are, they’re not foolproof, as Zheng Yichen holds unknown outcomes, leading to this conversation that isn’t even a negotiation.

From the current results, Zheng Yichen hasn’t exceeded the unknown; his choices remain within Dusk’s predictions, and even each subtle move he makes now is within the predicted range.

At present, Zheng Yichen indeed has the strength to confront Dusk; he embodies Oblivion itself, with many of his enhancements appearing not much different from other Proxy Agents.

However, because he possesses an Independent System maintaining himself, his enhancements are fundamentally different from those of proxy agents, even if their effects appear identical.

One is still linked to the World Cloud System, while Zheng Yichen’s powers operate through his Independent System, whereby the former can be deleted with a single action, but the latter cannot be directly erased by the authority of this world.

Even in terms of operational limits, the two cannot be compared.

Zheng Yichen’s mastery of the Reversal ability allows him to reverse most powers, even those like Oblivion; the Balancing Imbalance Power can also act upon Oblivion.

But if it were a local person with his complete template, they wouldn’t achieve the same level.

There’s no other reason; the world itself doesn’t allow it. Oblivion is like formatting; once its power affects an individual, the lifespan limit shortens and cannot recover, which is due to ’data’ damage.

Data is partially formatted and cannot be restored. How can it recover? Moreover, Oblivion formats not just data but also capacity.

Oblivion can be considered a destructive means of clearing malignant factors, solving difficult problems through formatting directly.

Life Creation is like repair software; unable to match Oblivion is normal. Oblivion’s formatting can even smash the hard drive, whereas Life Creation mainly deals with software within the drive.

During formatting, forget about repair software; even programming software can be formatted together.

But Zheng Yichen enhanced Life Creation to a level capable of directly creating hard drives through the Balancing Imbalance Power.

The simplest example is the World Bubble, which is scarce in the Collective World; though it contains Primordial Stone Worlds, they are few in number.

Their existence state is merely as ’inactive’ worlds; most Primordial Stone Worlds aren’t subsequent creations.

Yet Zheng Yichen can mass-produce World Bubbles. Though weak, each potential World Bubble can grow into a complete world.

If not, how could Zheng Yichen interfere with the normal appearance of ’Dusk’ before it arrived?

If he had appeared in the era when World Creators were active and perfected himself, Dusk Territory would not exist in this world.

However, there’s no ’if’; Zheng Yichen came to this world after Dusk had already appeared and existed for a long time.

He is an invader of this world, exposed upon entering it.

The reason he arrived in the form of a child is not due to some influence of Time Power. It was purely because of the passive interception by the world itself.

When Zheng Yichen appeared in this world, it was akin to a data transmission, yet because he was an invader, the transmission was forcibly interrupted during interception.

With the interruption, any connection brought by Zheng Yichen also disappeared. Worlds outside the Collective World are like alien planets in the vast universe.

One might say there are few life-bearing planets in the universe, but it doesn’t imply life-bearing planets are unique.

Yet the world inherently excludes such mutual contacts, hence Zheng Yichen’s transmigration—this data transmission—was forcibly severed, and all connections eliminated.

This is why he appeared as a child in the Misty City World.

His transmigration wasn’t complete. Yet, since it was a transmission, the most important parts were transferred first. Zheng Yichen was only physically diminished, with other aspects unaffected.

Dusk doesn’t reject the existence of Zheng Yichen; his uniqueness no longer serves as a competitive threat to Dusk.

Already unique, adding Zheng Yichen only turns singularity into duality, not affecting Dusk’s existence. Conversely, in Dusk’s view, Zheng Yichen is a unique variable, a special presence inducing more possibilities.

Zheng Yichen hasn’t disappointed Dusk; he has grown continuously and perfected himself. As a Proxy Agent opposing Boundary Breakers, actively dealing with them has brought the entire world to the brink of collapse and destruction from impact and turmoil.

As for Zheng Yichen’s world, Dusk has constructed a model through big data analysis.

This is merely to better analyze Zheng Yichen. Even if Zheng Yichen wishes to return, the model is of no help—the connections are already severed, and Zheng Yichen has no road back.

The distance in the void is more abstract than that between worlds within the Collective World and the Outer Realm.

Even with a connection, there’s an insurmountable distance problem.

However, up to now, Zheng Yichen hasn’t shown a strong obsession with returning; perhaps it’s hidden deeply, or perhaps there’s not much attachment to that side.

Dusk doesn’t mind these, but Dusk can use this part of the information as a bargaining chip.

"A new Earth can appear in the next world epoch."

"It’s not the Earth where I lived, so it’s irrelevant. I just want to preserve what’s here now," Zheng Yichen waved his hand. Even if a new Earth is created, so what?

No matter how familiar that Earth is, it’s not the place where he lived for over twenty years.

He has already lived in this world for more than a decade. While his impression of Earth hasn’t faded, his attachment... it’s more of a thought now.

As for going back, he actually has more things that matter to him here. Even if he could return, he would ultimately choose to come back again.

"I understand." Tia nodded gently as the surroundings began to change, starting from the place where Zheng Yichen left footprints.

Dusk also faces constraints from the world’s underlying rules, like being unable to interfere outside Dusk Territory and can only influence external matters through passive feedback.

Moreover, the influence areas are all related to the world itself.

Even for enhancing Dusk mercenaries and Proxy Agents, it requires actively using merit points rather than Dusk deciding how to use them.

There are also things like retention counts. Zheng Yichen can fix his problems completely through retention counts, even if it expends substantial World Resources.

Yet as long as Zheng Yichen consumes retention counts, no matter the consumption, Dusk will proceed.

However, if using merit points to recover physically, Zheng Yichen’s injuries fall beyond the influence scope of merit points; both things interfere at different levels.

But now, Zheng Yichen’s proactive actions have triggered Dusk’s passive feedback mechanism.

He has used Special Powers exceeding limits in Dusk Territory, causing damage to Dusk.

Under normal circumstances, Dusk would act the moment this happens, but with Zheng Yichen being so unique, Tia didn’t immediately provide feedback on this situation, continuing her final ’negotiation’ with Zheng Yichen instead.

Again, it didn’t surpass prediction range; Zheng Yichen refused Dusk’s final proposal.

The state of the next world epoch doesn’t matter at all to Dusk.

It’s crucial for Dusk, as a world candidate, to expand normally... thus Tia’s promise to Zheng Yichen contained no falsehoods, but unfortunately, Zheng Yichen did not accept.
