"Is this the gate to truth?"

Yi Shuihan tried to sense it with his mental power, but he couldn't feel anything where the door appeared, as if the door didn't actually exist.

This situation made Yi Shuihan realize that the existence of this Gate of Truth was definitely very advanced, beyond his current level of understanding.

Instead of being disappointed, Yi Shuihan became even more excited. If he could see through it so easily, he would really not care about the Gate of Truth. Only if it was impossible to see through it could its great value be demonstrated.

After the Gate of Truth appeared, Yi Shuihan discovered that the props that were previously in the circle were completely obscured by a blue light, as if some kind of change was taking place.

"what!"

With a contraction in his pupils, Yi Shuihan realized that he had lost his ability to lock onto Nicolae, and even the True Name Patrol he had exchanged could no longer sense Nicolae's presence.

Clearly, this is because the appearance of the Gate of Truth has affected the skills.

Nicolas Flamel suddenly closed his eyes, as if he were communicating with someone. This communication lasted for several seconds. When he opened his eyes, Yi Shuihan found that the prop on the circle could be seen again, and it had completely changed into something different from before.

The Gate of Truth slowly disappeared, and everything returned to its original state, except for the item on the ground.

"Is it over? It was much easier than I thought! But, the door hasn't even opened yet. Is it because this exchange was too low-level?"

Although the Gate of Truth did not open wide and reveal countless black figures as Yi Shuihan remembered, it still piqued his interest.

"Could you teach me this magic?"

Having made up her mind to learn this magic even at a cost, Yi Shuihan did not receive a definite answer.

Nicolas Flamel shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to pass it on to you, but I myself don't know how to teach you."

"How is this going?"

Yi Shuihan gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"This magic is not something I can cast on my own; it requires the aid of some kind of power. Given our different identities, it's impossible for me to cast it."

"Identity? Could it be..."

Instantly, Yi Shuihan recalled what Nicolas Flamel had said when summoning the Gate of Truth: to abide by the covenant of the world's will. In other words, the Gate of Truth could only appear because of the world's will. Nicolas Flamel's success was very likely inseparable from his identity as a Daoist.

Yi Shuihan felt somewhat depressed upon reaching this conclusion, but he couldn't force the issue. Moreover, he was unwilling to become a Dao Master simply to learn this magic.

Becoming a Dao-Merger is certainly powerful, but that's only relative to those who cannot transcend their own world. For someone like Yi Shuihan, who can go to a higher world at any time, choosing to merge with the Dao is undoubtedly a foolish decision, unless that world is exceptionally powerful, such as the Primordial World.

"You just need to tell me the principle behind this magic; whether I can learn it or not is my own business."

Yi Shuihan was still somewhat unwilling, and said, hoping that he might have a different idea.

Following the will of the world, I wonder if obtaining the origin of the world will have the same effect?

Several hours later,

Yi Shuihan left the hut where Nicolas Flamel was. No one knows what they talked about afterwards, but Yi Shuihan left with a smile on his face, and Nicolas Flamel also seemed very happy.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed. On this day, Yi Shuihan was teaching Hermione a spell when he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Yi, what happened?"

Hermione noticed that something was wrong with Yi Shuihan and asked.

"Ding! Half of the people in this world now possess magic. The transformation of the mission world is complete. Rewards will be distributed soon. Please prepare, host."

Preparation? Do we still need to prepare? This time it's so strange.

The thought had barely crossed Yi Shuihan's mind when his expression changed and he vanished from the spot, reappearing tens of thousands of meters in the sky.

"Is the world about to advance?"

Looking up at the void, Yi Shuihan could sense an astonishing energy gathering there.

"what is that?"

Before long, people all over the world noticed something was wrong: the sky was filled with seven-colored light, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Boom!"

"Oh no, it's an earthquake? Run!"

The earth was shaking, and countless people were terrified and at a loss.

The same thing is happening all over the world: expansion is beginning, countless landmasses are appearing out of thin air, completely defying the laws of science; the planet is changing every second.

Blue magic rain began to fall from the sky, nourishing the earth and bringing forth boundless vitality. Plants began to grow and transform wildly, and even ordinary beasts began to grow stronger.

Those who were drenched in the magic rain also underwent strange changes. Those with magic power saw their magic power increase rapidly, while those without magic power became healthier and stronger.

"Is this what world advancement is?"

Having witnessed the changes in the world, Yi Shuihan was deeply shocked.

He could sense that as the world advanced, the potential of all creatures in this world was invisibly increased. Countless wizards who were stuck at their bottlenecks broke through their original realms and reached higher realms. Even he could feel that if he cultivated in this world again in the future, it would be much faster.

Chapter 585, Joining Forces to Resist the Main God

"Hasn't the advancement been fully completed yet? Even so, the restrictions on power in this world have now been lifted to Silver 3-star, which is a significant improvement!"

The increase in the limits of world power also allowed Yi Shuihan to exert more of his strength in this world.

"And if we upgrade to Silver 3 stars this time, we won't need to use that treasure anymore, which will save us some money."

Originally, this world did not allow silver-level experts to appear, but Yi Shuihan smuggled himself in using the power of the system, so he was not included in this category. Even so, it was impossible for him to break through from silver-level one-star to silver-level two-star, but he did it.

How did he do it? He obtained something from the company, the Heaven-Covering Pill, and he got two of them.

The effect of the Heaven-Covering Pill is simple: it shields the world's will from detection. After use, one can ignore the world's rules for a short period of time. Yi Shuihan successfully broke through to the 2-star level with this pill.

This kind of Heaven-Covering Pill is actually an internal benefit of the company. It was specially developed for system owners, so that these system owners with cheat codes would have an absolute advantage in a world. What advantage is greater than having strength that exceeds the limits of a world?

The company also divides the Heaven-Covering Pill into several grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. The low-grade pill can help those below Bronze level to conceal their presence, the medium-grade pill can help those below Silver 3-star level to conceal their presence, the high-grade pill is for those below Silver 7-star level, and the top-grade pill is for those below Silver 9-star level to break through to Gold level. As for those above Gold level, there is no way to break through to Gold level.

It's not that they haven't been developed, but rather that they're unnecessary. Once you reach the Gold level, you'll master certain secret techniques and be able to break through in other worlds. Who would want to stay in a lower-level world that restricts them so much?

Yi Shuihan obtained two Heaven-Covering Pills, both of which were of medium grade, just enough to allow him to break through to Silver 3-star, which is why he felt comfortable using them.

Of course, Yi Shuihan wouldn't mind if he could save the pill, since the Heaven-Covering Pill has other uses besides breakthroughs. Once the Heaven-Covering Pill is used, even the world's will cannot detect it, so wouldn't it be more effective to use it in certain situations, such as to avoid being detected by experts?

A mid-grade Heaven-Covering Pill is generally undetectable even by silver-level experts; only gold-level experts can see through it. Of course, the experts mentioned here do not include world lords.

If used well, Yi Shuihan felt he could completely outmaneuver a Silver 7-star.

The world continues to change, and Yi Shuihan's heart is gradually tightening, because if he is not mistaken, there will inevitably be a major change next.

"It has to succeed! At the very least, it should give me the origin of the world before anything goes wrong."

The system hasn't given him the reward yet, only told him to prepare. Yi Shuihan realized that this reward really wasn't generated by the system.

In the void, a giant five-colored lotus flower is about to bloom. This lotus flower is the manifestation of the will of this magical world, and the blooming of the lotus flower represents the world's advancement. When the lotus flower is fully open, it will be the time when the world's advancement is successful.

Suddenly, the sky split open, and an enormous hand emerged from the crack, then slammed down on the five-colored lotus.

"It's here! The Supreme God's backup plan... So this world really is..."

Before Yi Shuihan could think any further, the giant hand was already close to the five-colored lotus.

The five-colored lotus, representing the will of the world, would not sit idly by and wait for its doom. It suddenly released beams of five-colored light that blasted towards the giant hand.

The giant hand was pierced by the multicolored light, but it still continued to bombard the multicolored lotus.

The five-colored lotus shone brightly, and a hemispherical shield appeared, barely blocking the giant hand. The two became locked in a stalemate.

"What?! Are you kidding me?!"

Yi Shuihan, who was watching the show, felt an urge to curse loudly because just now, the system had sent him a message, telling him to help the world's will, otherwise he would lose his reward, the world's origin.

Even though the task was completed, there's a possibility that the reward might not be given. Who can Yi Shuihan complain to?

So now it's time to make a decision: to go for it or not?

If he went up to face the giant hand representing the main god, Yi Shuihan lacked confidence; if he didn't go up, he would lose the world's origin, and he was extremely unwilling to accept that.

While I was hesitating, another message was transmitted to my mind, but this time it was not from the system, but from the world's will.

"Two portions of the origin of a lower world, plus a sainthood? What came was just a wisp of the will of the Supreme God. With me, I can definitely win, and I can even guarantee that the Supreme God won't notice me?"

Even Yi Shuihan was taken aback by the price offered by the world's will. You see, even after this magical world advances, it will only reach the level of a medium-level world, and then it can slowly become capable of containing the limit of silver. If the world has just advanced, the world's origin it possesses is probably only equivalent to about 5 parts of low-level world origin. If it is given to Yi Shuihan with 2 parts, it is basically equivalent to half.

Having lost two portions of the origin of the lower world, it will take a very long time for this world to recover, and it may even fall back to its state before the advancement.

As for the Saintly Position, it is a special rank that only comes into existence after this world has advanced, similar to the Saintly Position in the Primordial World. However, the Saintly Position in this world is much less valuable and does not improve Yi Shuihan's strength. The only benefit is that if this world does not perish, he will also remain intact.

"Done!"

With the world's will intensifying its efforts, Yi Shuihan finally made a decision. The reason he hesitated before was simply because he was afraid that even if he joined, it would be of no use, and he also did not want to be targeted by the main god.

Now that there are no more worries, it's perfectly fine to go for it. It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. Besides, if he doesn't go for it, he won't get the original mission rewards, and he'll have worked for nothing.

His only concern was that the world's will was deceiving him, but he still decided to take the risk. If things really didn't work out, he could simply use the system's power to travel through time.

Chapter 586, World Advancement Ends

Having made his decision, Yi Shuihan didn't hesitate any longer. Instantly, his strength exploded, reaching its limit, and he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the giant hand.

The giant hand seemed to realize that Yi Shuihan's visit was ill-intentioned, and it split into countless smaller fists, turning them into a rain of fists in an attempt to kill Yi Shuihan.

This fist contains astonishing energy; each punch landing on the ground is comparable to a nuclear bomb.

Yi Shuihan directly used the power of time to release time stillness, and then passed through the rain of fists to arrive in front of the giant hand.

"Plasma Lightning Speed ​​Fist"

Countless fist-shaped beams of light enveloped the giant hand, turning the entire sky a golden hue.

"Isn't it enough?"

It has to be said that the main god is indeed powerful. If the move that Yi Shuihan released had been used by a Silver Level 2 expert of the same level, he would have been blasted into dust long ago. But now, the giant hand only looks a little uneven on the surface and its appearance is slightly worse. It has not suffered much damage at all.

He decisively used his burst of energy, and Yi Shuihan's aura surged once again. Not only that, but he also released the special wine that existed in his illusory stomach.

With the title's ability activated, critical hits, attack power, and attack speed increased by 5%, resulting in a significant increase in overall strength. Yi Shuihan dares to say that he can now easily crush even a Silver 4-star opponent.

As melodious background music began to play and an unseen power surged within him, Yi Shuihan launched another attack.

"Endless lightning!"

At that moment, everyone in the world could see lightning flashing ahead, and the huge roar silenced everyone, who stared blankly at the sky.

"Oh my god! Is this the end of the world?"

"Heaven is about to unleash divine punishment."

"The legend is true. Which old monster is undergoing tribulation? Experienced driver, please guide me."

"Mom, I want mom!"

"..."

The changes in the world have driven countless people, unaware of the full story, to despair. Under the immense power of heaven and earth, they are so insignificant, left only to silently await their fate.

The thunder in the sky lasted for hours, and just when people thought it would continue indefinitely, the sound stopped, and the whole world fell into a brief silence.

"...Huff...Huff"

The excessive consumption of physical strength and spiritual energy left Yi Shuihan panting heavily.

Thanks to Yi Shuihan's thunder over the past few hours, the five-colored lotus representing the will of the world has finally gained the upper hand, and the giant hand is on the verge of being annihilated.

"Looks like I made the right bet."

The five-colored lotus finally bloomed completely, and to Yi Shuihan's astonishment, it completely absorbed the remaining giant hand.

Just when Yi Shuihan thought the dust had settled, another huge crack appeared in the sky, and a giant hand, several times larger than the previous one, appeared.

Before Yi Shuihan could react, a large door suddenly appeared in front of the lotus, then opened and swallowed the giant hand whole.

Two lotus seeds shot out from the five-colored lotus flower toward Yi Shuihan, after which the lotus flower disappeared without a trace, and the gate also vanished.

"The Gate of Truth!"

The gate that just appeared, apart from being larger, was exactly the Gate of Truth that Yi Shuihan had seen before. As soon as the gate opened, it unleashed a power even greater than that of him and the World Will combined.

"Ding, system upgrade energy detected. Do you wish to absorb it?"

"So that's how it is? This time, the system needs the origin of the world."

The two lotus seeds in Yi Shuihan's hands are actually manifestations of the origin of a lower world. The origin of a world can be formless or tangible; it can be anything.

The mind begins to communicate with the system, instructing the system to first absorb a lotus seed.
