I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1912 - 1311: No Winners? (2)

"Your eyes, I’m only taking back this part. Don’t use those new eyes anymore," Tia said to Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen took out a black box, an item crafted from Reversed Silence. The box wasn’t large, but it contained countless overlapping layers.

When he removed those eyes born from chaos, he instinctively felt they were dangerous, which is why he made the box so secure when sealing them.

But at this moment, Zheng Yichen was very curious. He wanted to see what was inside the box.

"Is it dangerous?"

"Very dangerous," Tia replied calmly. "Since you didn’t generate these eyes, I won’t take the trouble to reclaim your eyes. Doing so would only cause the New World I’ve opened to lose more."

Zheng Yichen understood. To restore his sight, he had tried to regenerate eyes using Chaos power and created something extraordinary, which is why Tia took the "trouble."

Is this a blessing in disguise?

He grinned slightly. "It’s a good thing you didn’t just kill me outright."

Compared to the issue with his eyes, Zheng Yichen was more concerned with Tia’s "mercy."

"I had no reason to do that," Tia shook her head.

"The reason?" Zheng Yichen looked at the ’Galaxy’ in the sky. Compared to the entire Dawn Space, the presence wasn’t strong. Even though the visual effect was exaggerated, it was actually just a small crack.

That crack was related to him, indicating his influence in the New World. As for why it manifested so dramatically, there must be another reason.

"After being exiled by Time, my connection with Dusk was further severed. I am Dusk, but Dusk is no longer me. Is that hard to understand?"

Zheng Yichen shook his head. "Not too hard to understand. At that time, compared to Dusk, you were like a new seed within a seed? Or perhaps a kind of parasitic fetus?"

The parasitic fetus Zheng Yichen had seen in Ahn Ke’s laboratory was a homogenous new life grown from a deformed host.

The two life forms would compete, similar to raising gu, with the stronger one consuming all to survive.

How similar Tia’s situation was?

She was Dusk, but Dusk was not her anymore, implying two Dusks appeared at that time. The relationship between her and Dusk was similar to a parasitic fetus.

As for why Tia wasn’t attacked initially, it was probably the result of disguise. A parasitic fetus typically is at a disadvantage, thus some disguise themselves in the early stages, revealing themselves after they have grown stronger.

"If that’s the case, why stop those World Tree fruits?" Zheng Yichen rubbed his eyes. His eyes weren’t strong enough now; staying in this space for too long caused pain.

Though the place seemed empty, it contained the essence of the World. Otherwise, Tanshia Firlo wouldn’t have nearly gone blind from just a glance at the Twilight Space.

When Zheng Yichen’s eyes were normal, he never felt any pressure, but now his eyes were very weak...

"Because I am Dusk."

Zheng Yichen was speechless. Although Dusk was no longer Tia, Tia was still Dusk. With such an identity, she naturally wouldn’t let the World Tree fruits escape judgment.

Even if she cooperated with Zheng Yichen once, that wasn’t a reason for her to allow those World Tree fruits to evade judgment.

"Alright then, I want to know now, who won between you and Dusk?" Zheng Yichen found himself sitting on a chair, as he could use Twilight Power. While Twilight’s manifested power had changed, it didn’t affect Zheng Yichen’s usage.

In fact, the unfolding of the New World made his connection with this space even tighter.

"There was no winner," Tia gently shook her head. "The New World was unfolded by me, but I didn’t become its main body, and I can’t become the main body. Dusk no longer exists, and I am still the Dusk of the previous era."

"Can you be more specific?" Zheng Yichen scratched his cheek, and a mirror appeared in his hand. Through it, he saw his eyes, which resembled a faint, misty twilight color.

Other than that, they looked no different than before.

As for his eyesight, even if it weakened to one percent, it was still stronger than an ordinary person’s.

"Specifically, I preserved myself, and the part I wanted to shape increased in the New World. But because you were unwilling to split your consciousness to become part of the New World, I couldn’t change much when it unfolded."

The unfolding of a New World by Dusk was inevitable. The New World she unveiled had differences from one typically unfolded by Dusk.

She had completely severed from Dusk; her ’thoughts’ no longer aligned with Dusk, which was why Dusk excluded her, albeit she initially disguised well. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But because Zheng Yichen didn’t cooperate, her acts of interfering with Time Power became apparent, exposing the ’sync failure’ with Dusk.

As for continuing the disguise, she couldn’t do it. Since she was also Dusk, she would be uncompromising in calculations and resource recovery, unless Zheng Yichen had the power to stop her.

But if Zheng Yichen did stop her, she’d resist.

In such a confrontation, she also became a target for Dusk’s calculations.

Dusk wanted to shatter the Twilight Light Wheel, intending to halt the unfoldment of the New World. After it was interrupted, she would be completely reclaimed by Dusk, and even with resistance, the parts severed from Dusk would eventually return.

If Zheng Yichen cooperated, the New World would unfold smoothly, and his consciousness would split into countless parts, becoming indigenous to the New World Era.

Even if exposed at the last moment, Dusk wouldn’t have been able to stop her actions.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yichen didn’t cooperate, so her unfolding of the New World proceeded in a compromised manner.

Regardless, the New World unfolded, and Dusk vanished due to transformation into the New World. She remained as Dusk of the previous era, and Zheng Yichen also persisted, his traces in Dusk inevitably continuing into the next world epoch.

Along with the unfoldment of Dusk and transformation, even a faint crack could manifest in the form of a Galaxy in the New World’s Dawn Space.

The light points in the Galaxy were all surviving World Tree fruits.

"So, does that mean I won?" Zheng Yichen’s tone became relaxed. Although not much of the World Tree fruits he left were preserved, seeing the dense light points in the Galaxy proved his efforts weren’t wasted.

"If you did it for people unrelated to you, then yes, you won. But for the World itself, it holds no significance, but rather a burden."

Tia’s perspective wasn’t human, so she didn’t consider Zheng Yichen a winner, as the preserved humans wouldn’t ever know of Zheng Yichen’s existence.

The knowledge they had belonged to the previous world epoch and was incompatible with the New World.

In the New World, the same kind of magic and other powers may emerge, but the mode was different, requiring much to be changed, making it hard to use the power of the Old Era unless they had Zheng Yichen’s ’Independent System.’

If not, even if those powers could still function, the outcome would be less than ideal, and the reason it still worked wasn’t due to survivors’ specialties of the previous world epoch.

It was the World Tree fruits Zheng Yichen left behind that preserved the information of the previous world epoch. Based on the existence of those World Tree fruits, their powers could function normally.

However, under normal circumstances, those World Tree fruits would wither. Although Zheng Yichen didn’t cooperate with Tia to unfold the New World, Tia did many things while unfolding it.

The areas Zheng Yichen influenced in the New World couldn’t obtain World Resources; only the resources preserved by the World Tree fruits remained there, and once used up, they were gone.
