Zheng Yichen's apology and acknowledgment of his mistakes seemed somewhat effective, but not completely, as the thunderstorm and Earth Fire continued unabated and undiminished, only the anger targeting him scattered slightly.
This scattering caused the thunderstorm and Earth Fire to no longer concentrate, but Zheng Yichen still suffered greatly. His equipment offered some natural protection, providing extra resistance against such attacks.

Additionally, he confirmed that reversing Malicious Erosion into Benevolent Blessings does clear the previous environmental impact, rather than reversing the entire progress of Malicious Erosion.
And this clearing is only for the progress he himself made; the accumulated anger from Nature—this World itself—due to Malicious Erosion still exists.
