Multiverse Skill System

Apart from Yi Shuihan, none of the others present understood what the demon was asking. Yu Ji and Zuo Ci were not there; this level of battle was beyond their capabilities, and the mere pressure from the demon was enough to make them unable to move an inch.

They knew that Yi Shuihan was not from this world, but they did not tell the people of Kunxu Secret Realm. After all, there was no use in revealing such a secret, and they also had to consider Yi Shuihan's attitude.

Besides, the people in the Kunxu Secret Realm aren't fools. Perhaps they had already guessed it, but even if they knew Yi Shuihan's background, what good would it do? It wouldn't be of any use in the face of such an absolute difference in strength.

"A reincarnator?"

Yi Shuihan did not stop his attack, but the intensity of the attack did not prevent him from speaking. To be honest, he only had one-tenth of his mind focused on attacking, otherwise the demon would not have been able to do it so easily.

Upon hearing this word, the demon shrugged for a moment, and then Yi Shuihan seemed to see a nostalgic smile on his blurry face.

"I have a name I like much more than this: Eddie, Shadow Eddie."

Eddie's words undoubtedly prove that he was one of the reincarnators who invaded in ancient times, and the invading force was the Main God Space.

"Shadow, that does suit your current image quite well."

Indeed, Eddie now looks like a shadow with a human form, but more fully formed.

“I’m curious about one thing: why were you sealed in this world? I’ve heard that when reincarnators in the God’s Space do missions, they are forcibly recalled regardless of whether they succeed or fail. I think with its power, even if you fail here, it should have the power to deal with you.”

"You're not a reincarnator?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because any reincarnator whose strength reaches our level should know that the conquest mission has no time limit, only success, no failure, because failure means the death of all of us, so the mission continues."

To be honest, Yi Shuihan found this answer quite convincing. He had originally thought that this world had withstood the invasion of the Main God Space, but if Eddie was telling the truth, it wasn't that it had withstood the Main God, but rather that the Main God wasn't paying much attention to it. Eddie hadn't died, so they hadn't sent any more people.

"That's true. The Main God Space is such a powerful existence that no world with a strongest member below the Gold rank can withstand it."

Yi Shuihan couldn't help but think of the previous world, the Gate of Truth, and the power it represented.

Did Harry Potter truly break free from the control of the Main God Space, or was it just that the Main God Space didn't care and let him off the hook for the time being?

"How about we make a deal?"

Eddie's voice was somewhat excited, as if his hostility towards Yi Shuihan had suddenly vanished.

Yi Shuihan also noticed this change and wondered what had caused Eddie's transformation.

“I don’t think there’s anything worth trading with a guy who’s going to die.”

"Indeed, a transaction requires both parties to have equal strength. However, I believe that I currently meet that condition perfectly. You don't think that's all I'm capable of, do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"As you can see, I am now only a part of my whole body. I was originally divided into 5 pieces and sealed in different places. They couldn't destroy me, so they could only use this method. During our conversation, my body has begun to return to its original state. The seals are one. If one is broken, the other seals will no longer have enough power to bind me. In fact, even if this seal is not broken, the other seals will soon lose their effect. Over the years, the power of the seals has become much weaker than before."

As if confirming the truth of his words, the next moment, terrifying black pillars of light erupted simultaneously in the four directions of Kunxu: east, west, south, and north. The aura was very familiar, exactly the same as Eddie's. Clearly, Eddie was telling the truth.

"It was a bit of a miscalculation!"

Yi Shuihan sensed something was wrong, but it hadn't reached the point where he could escape. He felt he was still capable of handling the situation. Even though Eddie might have been at the Golden Immortal level before being sealed, which would be roughly equivalent to a Silver 7-star in general terms, after being sealed for so long, he was clearly not at his peak.

Even when Eddie was at his peak, Yi Shuihan could have easily left. He believed that the reason Eddie was sealed away was not because of his strength, but because of his difficulty in being killed.

The thunderclouds in the sky disappeared, and Lingna's divine punishment finally ended. The scene became very quiet. The local people of Kunxu Secret Realm were stunned by Eddie's grand gesture. If one was so difficult to deal with, let alone five, they could only place their hopes on Yi Shuihan.

Originally, Lingna's successful tribulation and becoming a half-immortal would have caused a great stir in Kunxu. However, apart from herself, few people paid attention to this. They all focused their attention on Yi Shuihan and the ancient demon, Eddie.

"Even if you have the ability to deal with me, what can you do to me? Killing me will only attract the attention of the Main God Space, and as for sealing me, I don't believe you have the ability to do so. So, can you hear the terms of my deal now?"

Chapter 635, Detachment from Purpose

"Tell me!"

Unable to subdue the other party in a short time, Yi Shuihan decided to listen to what the other party actually wanted.

"There's one more thing I need to confirm: what kind of power is behind you? If you're just a lucky transmigrator, I don't think there's any need for a deal."

Eddie was no longer in a particular hurry.

Listening to Eddie, he didn't even care about transmigrators. If other transmigrators heard this, they would definitely cry in the toilet. Transmigrators are top-tier professions in all the worlds. Even the most ordinary transmigrator is at least a ruler of a world. Of course, the premise is that he doesn't do anything stupid.

However, Eddie is indeed qualified to say this. The Main God Space gave him this foundation. In front of the Main God Space, which governs billions of reincarnators, ordinary transmigrators are simply not worth mentioning.

Yi Shuihan was about to say the company's name, but after thinking for a moment, he took out something that looked like a badge.

"Do you recognize this?"

"This is...it feels familiar." Eddie felt that the badge in Yi Shuihan's hand looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it represented.

This was rather strange for Eddie, because his memory was enhanced due to his cultivation level, and he could quickly recall things even after a long time.

Eddie fell into deep thought, and Yi Shuihan didn't urge him. He was also eager to know if Eddie really knew about the company.

However, it was clear that Yi Shuihan had overestimated Eddie's abilities. A full half hour passed, and Eddie was still deep in thought. During this half hour, his other four bodies were integrated with him, and he did not make any movement. Yi Shuihan suspected that if someone attacked him during this time, he might not even react.

"Did I miss the best time to attack?"

Sitting in the comfortable chair he took out from his personal space, Yi Shuihan had this thought in his mind.

The whole scene became very strange. Although it was a battle of apocalyptic scale, the two sides did not feel like they were fighting at all. The great demon, who was the destroyer of the world, stood there quietly, without any intention of destroying anything. As the protectors, the cultivators just watched the great demon quietly without doing anything to stop him.

And then there's Yi Shuihan, the savior, who surprisingly gives off the feeling of leisurely sunbathing on a beach.

"Wait a little longer. If he still doesn't react, I'll make my move."

Several hours passed, and even the sky was getting dark. Yi Shuihan didn't consider himself an impatient person, but he was starting to get a little impatient.

"Perhaps he is stalling for time, using this method to recover his strength."

Yi Shuihan had also considered this possibility, which was why his patience wore off so quickly.

Finally, before Yi Shuihan's patience completely wore off, Eddie made a move.

It unleashed a power far exceeding what Eddie had previously displayed, stirring up a gust of wind.

“I know what power you represent, but I can’t say it. I can’t believe you’re from there. In that case, I really want to make a deal with you.”

Yi Shuihan's guess was not wrong, but it was not right either. Eddie's initial deal was actually a delaying tactic. However, he later fell into deep thought and found something he might never remember from the depths of his memory, which made him completely change his mind.

Eddie genuinely wanted to make a deal with Yi Shuihan this time, a deal he had longed for countless times.

"Can't you say your name?"

Yi Shuihan looked at Eddie with some curiosity, wondering if the other party was just being mysterious or if he really had some unspeakable secret.

"I know that your faction can create systems. I wonder if this proves that I know your identity."

Seeing Yi Shuihan's confusion, Eddie spoke up.

Yi Shuihan's pupils contracted slightly as he looked intently at Eddie, who now possessed eyes due to his complete transformation. Surprisingly, Yi Shuihan detected a hint of sincerity in Eddie's eyes.

"Okay, tell me what you mean by 'deal'."

"Help me escape from the Main God Space."

"what?"

Looking at Eddie in surprise, Yi Shuihan never expected him to say such a thing. However, after thinking about it, Yi Shuihan felt that he could understand. For the people of the Main God Space, leaving the Main God Space was indeed what they wanted.

As a reincarnator in the God Realm, one gains many benefits, such as access to various worlds, a platform for communication, and easy access to power. It can be said that as long as one can survive in the God Realm, one's future achievements are limitless. Countless people actually hope to enter the God Realm, obtain such opportunities, and become superior beings.

However, this is the thinking of those in the lower levels of the God Realm. Anyone who has reached a certain level of strength will not be willing to be controlled by the God Realm. They are powerful, so they crave freedom even more, and the more powerful they become, the stronger this desire will become.

Furthermore, if they cannot break free from the Main God Space, they cannot become true powerhouses, those who transcend the Main God Space. In order to control the Reincarnators, the Main God Space will obviously not allow them to become infinitely powerful. It will restrict their growth after they reach a certain level. At this point, the Main God Space will no longer be an aid to them but an obstacle.

These were all thoughts that came to Yi Shuihan in an instant, and he couldn't be sure if they were true.

"I have no idea how to help you get out of this situation."

Yi Shuihan told the truth: he really didn't know what to do.

Eddie frowned, then relaxed. "You can't now, but that doesn't mean you can't in the future. Just promise to help me when you're able."

"A transaction requires both parties to benefit, but right now I don't see how this transaction is helping me."

Yi Shuihan did not give a direct answer to Eddie's question.

Eddie was taken aback, then realized that if Yi Shuihan really was a member of that faction, this world wouldn't be that important to him, and his threat wouldn't be that significant.

Judging from his own perspective, if Eddie were in Yi Shuihan's shoes, he wouldn't care about a place that was just a stop along the way, even if that stop was a world.

Chapter 636, Transaction Confirmed

"I can give you some things you need; there are quite a few good things in the Main God Space."

Eddie spoke with confidence. Unlike other places, the way to obtain good things in the Main God Space is the most direct, as long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price.

Yi Shuihan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is there anything like a resurrection cross?"

"I didn't expect that would be your first question. Are you very afraid of dying?"

"Who isn't afraid of death? Once you're dead, you really have nothing left."

They didn't hide their fear. No one is unafraid of death; it's just that some things are more terrifying to them than death itself.

Yi Shuihan didn't ask about bloodlines, cultivation techniques, or magical treasures because he believed his system could solve these problems. With great strength, bloodlines and such wouldn't be an issue.

Some skills might even be able to revive the cross, but for him now, all of this has to wait until the system is officially upgraded.

"I do have a resurrection scroll, but it's already bound to my soul, so I can't give it to you."

"Then what do you have?"

"The Boundary Fruit is something that can help one comprehend the laws; even for me now, it has some effect."

Eddie took out a green fruit that emitted bursts of the aura of laws. Just looking at it made Yi Shuihan feel that his understanding of the laws had improved considerably.

After reaching the Silver level, in addition to accumulating energy, this understanding of the laws is also very important. A higher level of understanding of the laws can not only increase various abilities, but is also a necessary point to support advancement.

"And these too, skill books, which can instantly give you access to these skills."

"The Sun Potion, something I got from a game world. It can instantly heal most of any injury, including soul injuries."

When Eddie took out the item, Yi Shuihan never noticed where it came from, and there wasn't even a slight spatial fluctuation.

Of course, that's not the case. These things must have been in another space before. The reason Yi Shuihan didn't sense them was simply because his current strength was insufficient to feel the fluctuations.

Eddie couldn't have done that with his strength, so there's only one possibility: the power of the Main God Space.

To be honest, apart from the Boundary Fruit, the only thing that caught Eddie's eye was the Sun Potion; the skill books were much less valuable to him.

"If you can promise me, I can give you all of these things."

"I don't think these things are enough to make me agree to help you escape the God's Space. When I have the ability, these things will probably be something I can easily obtain."

Eddie remained silent for a moment.

Tell me, what else would you like?

Does the world have an origin?

"Yes, but they're very hard to get."

"I will grant your request for 10 portions of the origin of the lower world."

"Impossible. With my status, I could only get two copies at most."

Eddie's emotions seemed somewhat unstable.

"9 copies."

"There are only 2 slots available at most, but if you can give us more slots, 10 slots are not out of the question."

How many spots are available?

"3!"

"make a deal."

The two started talking about something that hadn't even been mentioned yet. However, Yi Shuihan wasn't worried. He would only do things after the other party gave him something, and he believed that it wouldn't be difficult for him to do such a thing once he had grown up.

Do you think I'll definitely grow to the point where I can help you?

"I believe in you. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were destined to become a great person."

"..."

Yi Shuihan felt a bit disgusted. If Yi Shuihan hadn't said this, Eddie probably wouldn't have believed it himself. He just really wanted to get out of the God Space. He couldn't find anyone else who could help him except Yi Shuihan, so he had no choice but to choose Yi Shuihan.

There was one thing Eddie didn't tell Yi Shuihan, which was actually more than Eddie knew: people from other forces like Yi Shuihan couldn't enter the world where the members of the Main God Space Reincarnators lived. This seemed to be an unspoken rule, clearly indicating that Yi Shuihan was quite special. This gave Eddie even more confidence in Yi Shuihan.

In some respects, Eddie's confidence in Yi Shuihan was not without merit.

"So what are you going to do now? Conquer the world?"
