Multiverse Skill System

"Aya, I see you have good talent and I'd like to recruit you as a fighter. What do you think?"

"A fighter?"

"Um, I forgot you don't know the meaning of 'fighter.' So-called fighters are organizations established by the gods of this world, fighting for their own gods. For example, Athena's Saints, Poseidon's Marine Warriors, and Hades' Specters. I'll mainly talk about the Saints. The Saints' stronghold is in the Sanctuary in Greece, currently under the leadership of the Pope, and they have Gold Saints and Silver Saints under their command..."

Yi Shuihan was quite patient with the first female character he was about to acquire and didn't mind taking some time to explain her to her.

Netero, who was not far away, noticed the conversation and looked at the two sisters, whom he had initially paid little attention to, with some surprise, thinking to himself...

"Could they be some kind of extraordinary geniuses?"

Unfortunately, Netero couldn't discern talent just by looking at it. Coupled with the different cultivation systems, he could only vaguely sense that Maya and the others were not ordinary people and that their strength was definitely inferior to his. As for how strong they were, he couldn't make a judgment.

"Lord Sesshomaru, did you hear what that guy said? He said there are gods in this world. Could he be referring to some priestesses who claim to be gods?"

"Shut up, you heretic."

Sesshomaru gave a warning, but listened carefully to Yi Shuihan's words. If Yi Shuihan hadn't asked him to take out the Bakusaiga, he would never have believed these words. But now, he believed most of them, mainly because it was the first time he had heard such a revolutionary piece of information.

Chapter 809, Contributed to Gender Equality

He talked for almost half an hour before the two sisters understood what Yi Shuihan's purpose was for them. Of course, it wasn't just Yi Shuihan talking non-stop; when the two sisters didn't understand something, they would ask questions, and Yi Shuihan would patiently answer them.

"This treatment is truly leagues ahead of mine; their talent must be terrifying."

Netero watched the whole thing from beginning to end. He had always thought that Yi Shui Han recruited people based on talent, but he couldn't imagine the two sisters' talent at all. He was incredibly shocked.

It's no wonder Netero thought that way. It was mainly because of Yi Shuihan's status as a true god that Netero subconsciously overlooked the most realistic answer: that Yi Shuihan was only being so kind to her because she was a girl.

In Netero's view, Yi Shuihan may look young, but he is actually an old monster who has lived for countless years, and should not be treated differently because of his appearance.

As far as Netero is concerned, it is correct to regard Yi Shuihan as an old monster. As for his views on appearance and gender, that is completely wrong. Yi Shuihan has always attached great importance to this aspect. His criteria for selecting fighters are that they are good protagonists of a world, and he also has certain requirements for appearance. They absolutely cannot be too low. If they are too low, Yi Shuihan will not accept them.

There was no way around it; good looks were a universal attribute across all realms, especially after experiencing many worlds where appearance mattered so much. Yi Shuihan couldn't afford to be indifferent to it.

Good looks are not just about appearance and figure, but also include temperament. And compared to the former two, the latter is much harder to change, as temperament changes constantly with a person's experiences and thoughts.

"So, you're a deity!?"

While Aya was still dazed, Maya looked at Yi Shuihan in astonishment, finding it hard to believe.

Yi Shuihan's purpose made Zhenye breathe a slight sigh of relief, but for a moment she still found it hard to accept this incredibly real reality.

"Of course, don't you think so? I'm one of the most approachable gods. Becoming my warrior means not only guaranteed safety and rapid power growth, but also all sorts of benefits. I'm very generous!"

It sounds like he's bragging, but it's just the truth.

What will happen if we don't agree?

Maya asked somewhat nervously, "Becoming a warrior of a god sounds good, with all sorts of benefits and a powerful backer. However, this means losing your freedom, and as a warrior, you're bound to clash with other warriors of gods, which is something Maya doesn't want to see."

Arriving in this unfamiliar world, Maya only has Aya as family. She can ignore everything from the past, since the environment has completely changed and she no longer needs to carry any burdens. Right now, all she wants is to survive well in this world with her sister.

Yi Shuihan's brow furrowed in disapproval, causing Zhenye's heart to skip a beat. Only then did she realize that although the person in front of her seemed easy to talk to and had a good temper, he was ultimately a god, and dealing with the two sisters would be as simple as snapping his fingers.

Seeing that he had frightened Maya, Yi Shuihan's expression softened; it had only been a subconscious reaction.

"If you don't agree, then things will get complicated, and I'll be in a lot of trouble! If you don't agree, then I'll..."

Seeing Yi Shuihan, Zhenye's heart was in her throat. She was afraid that Yi Shuihan would say something like that, and if Yi Shuihan really said that, she guessed that in the end she could only persuade her sister to accept the other party's invitation.

"...Forcibly taking you back to be maids, yes, that's it. If you're not going to be fighters, being a maid actually suits you quite well. I'm suddenly really looking forward to seeing you in black stockings and maid outfits. By the way, there's no point in resisting anyway."

"Maid?"

This answer was absolutely unexpected for Maya and Aya. Their reactions were very similar: they both covered their mouths with their hands and widened their eyes.

The thought of her maid outfit on the ship being forced to do various things by Yi Shuihan made Maya blush.

"Absolutely not!"

"No what?"

"I won't be a maid."

"Looks like they've been imagining a lot of things!"

Seeing the two women's faces turn bright red, Yi Shuihan knew perfectly well what unspeakable things they were thinking.

"So, Aya, what's your decision?"

He didn't rush her, but waited quietly for her reply.

Aya hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to her older sister.

"Can I take her place and become your fighter?"

Maya looked like she was sacrificing herself to feed a tiger.

"No way! Either Aya becomes my fighter, or you two become my maids!"

"Why not? In what way am I inferior to Aya?"

Maya found it really strange. From childhood to adulthood, in the eyes of any man, she was always better than her sister, and there were far more men pursuing her than her sister.

“You are stronger than Yaya in many ways, but only she is suitable to be my fighter.”

Yi Shuihan said slowly, "Did he waver? Perhaps a little."

Faced with the unyielding Yi Shuihan, Maya had no choice but to look at Aya and finally nod with difficulty.

"I agreed."

"Congratulations on making the right choice. Honestly, they're all here to offer opportunities, but it's like I'm the one who's abducting women."

First female fighter achieved!

Having made his own contribution to gender equality, Yi Shuihan was in a good mood.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? If so, I will help you resolve them, and then we will go to see your companions."

"Without us sisters, it will be hard for those people in the academy to survive. Can you find a way out for them?"

Ultimately, she was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see her classmates and teachers at the academy lose their support after her sisters left.

“Perhaps I can help with this. I have established a human settlement 200 kilometers away, and I am willing to take them back if they wish.”

Netero suddenly spoke up, saying that he was doing a favor for Yi Shuihan, which might come in a big way in the future.

"What do you think?"

Having seen through Netero's little scheme, Yi Shuihan didn't completely dismiss it. If they encountered a situation where Netero needed some benefits, it would be a simple matter. He himself preferred to have Netero help him.

"Then thank you very much, sir."

Maya thought about it and agreed.

Chapter 810, The Gathering Place Outside the Five Elders Peak

"Are you all relieved now?"

Above the sky, Yi Shuihan pointed downwards and said.

Maya and Aya stood on the magic carpet provided by Yi Shuihan, staring blankly at the gathering place below, unsure whether they were worried about the future of their classmates and teachers or feeling lost about their own future.

"let's go!"

"Don't worry, if you want to come out in the future, just tell me. I won't restrict your freedom, provided that you are strong enough to protect yourself."

With Maya and Aya by his side, Yi Shuihan's speed slowed down considerably, but even so, it only took him a few hours to reach the former Mount Lu.

The reason I'm referring to the Lushan of the past is that the roads have changed so much that you can barely make out any trace of what it used to be.

The Five Old Men Peaks are still discernible, but they have expanded more than a hundred times compared to before, reaching heights of hundreds of thousands of meters, which was unimaginable on Earth in the past.

There are four settlements around the Five Old Peaks, all much larger than the one where Netero is located, like four satellite cities surrounding the Five Old Peaks.

"Did Aizen and the others make a move? Given Aizen's personality, he probably wouldn't interfere on his own. Gon and Daigo, on the other hand, would. Nel and Gon have a good relationship, so there's a high chance she'll be persuaded. Plus, with Dohko, they can protect the area. And once they establish a foothold in the early stages, they'll only need to guard against large monsters. Humans can gradually deal with ordinary monsters as well."

Yi Shuihan originally intended to ignore the gathering place below and go find Aizen and the others, but when he heard a gurgling sound in his ear, he turned his head and found that Maya and Aya were both blushing.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone starving before?!"

Feeling both embarrassed and angry at being stared at, Maya temporarily forgot Yi Shuihan's identity and roared.

"Are you hungry, Aya?"

Deliberately ignoring Maya, he asked Aya.

"kindness!"

Aya lowered her head and nodded shyly.

"Then let's go downstairs and have a meal before we leave."

It wasn't that Yi Shuihan didn't want to take out food from his personal space; it was just that his personal space had changed a lot recently, and it was very troublesome to take out the food stored inside. So he decided to go downstairs to eat, and also to inquire about Xiao Jie and the others' situation.

After the great changes on Earth, the meat of these monsters also underwent a huge transformation, containing energy. It would taste delicious even without seasoning. It's a good time to go down and try it. If it's good, Yi Shuihan also plans to buy some. Food cannot be eaten up; it is only right to replenish it frequently.

Yi Shuihan's current cultivation level meant he didn't need food to replenish his energy, a fact he completely ignored. His attitude towards food was always that he would eat anything delicious. Food replenishing energy? What kind of theory was that? Wasn't food made to satisfy one's appetite?

"Halt! Where are you from?"

At the entrance of the gathering place, Yi Shuihan was stopped.

"I see."

At first, Yi Shuihan didn't understand what was going on. Was it because he was too handsome, or because he was too flashy with two pretty girls? The gatekeeper pointed to the others and then he noticed that they were all wearing metal badges. The badges were different colors, some gold, some silver, and some bronze, but they all looked exactly the same.

"Those are badges that represent identity. Everyone in the gathering place is recorded, and badges are issued based on strength."

The young man who stopped Yi Shuihan was a very upright person and spoke very politely.

“Young man, I’m actually a local. I went on vacation before and I’m coming home now. These two are my sisters. I’ll follow your rules here. Understanding is everything, right? These days are too hard. We humans have to work together.”

"Go over there, someone will take you to register."

The young man pointed to a place not far away that said "Registration Office," his tone curt, as if Yi Shuihan owed him money.

"Forehead!"

Looking at the young man with a puzzled expression, Yi Shuihan couldn't understand what she had done to offend him.

Since no one else wanted to talk to her, Yi Shuihan wouldn't make a fool of herself. She led the two sisters toward the place the young man pointed out.

"He looks respectable, but he lies so easily. He claims to be a local. The nearest tourist attractions are tens of thousands of miles away, places that even the strongest soldiers in the base cannot cross."

Yi Shuihan overheard the young man's mutterings and then understood why his behavior had changed so much. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Well, actually, it wasn't a misunderstanding. To be honest, he really wasn't a local.

This was just a minor incident, and Yi Shuihan quickly forgot about it.

The person who greeted Yi Shuihan at the registration desk was a plump middle-aged woman with a round face. After seeing Yi Shuihan, her eyes scanned him from head to toe, and then she nodded towards the shadows. Yi Shuihan then noticed that the person hiding in the shadows was paying less attention to him.

"What were you doing just now?"

Yi Shuihan was somewhat curious.

"I've awakened superpowers, and no disguise can fool my eyes. I've discovered many monsters that could transform in the past."

The plump woman explained, her face beaming with pride as she spoke of her abilities.

"No wonder I was assigned here."

Yi Shuihan expressed his understanding, then answered a few simple questions from the old lady and received a badge.

Yi Shuihan learned from the older woman that there are four types of these badges: bronze, silver, gold, and a very special black and gold badge.

The bronze badge is the lowest level, representing the status of an ordinary person. Generally, it can be obtained as long as one's human identity is confirmed. As for the badges above, a series of tests are required. Only those with strong combat power or abilities that can greatly help the base can be granted higher-level badges.

The plump woman suggested that Yi Shuihan take the test, but Yi Shuihan, considering that he was only going to have a meal and then leave, naturally refused the suggestion.

The two sisters went through the same process and received a bronze badge, which meant they were considered people of status and could walk around the ordinary areas of the base.

There are some areas of the base that require specific badges to enter, a point that the plump woman only mentioned briefly, but Yi Shuihan didn't pay much attention to.

Chapter 811, Bring me all the dishes!

"It's like going back to pre-liberation times; the houses we live in are all made of wood now."

Walking through the settlement, the first things you see are some simple wooden houses and some dilapidated tents, which look very rudimentary.

Most of the people here have blank expressions and lifeless eyes, making it easy to associate them with slums.

After passing the slums, things became more normal, resembling a small market before the major changes.

The rows of square stone houses are somewhat scattered, indicating that they were not built with much care.

Yi Shuihan was not surprised by this situation. After all, it had only been a little over a month since the great changes on Earth. Humanity had not yet fully established itself, and it was good enough to have a place to sleep peacefully. How could they dare to pursue high quality?
