Little did they know that Zeus would suddenly kill Hermes, and then die suddenly while killing Aphrodite.

Yes, he died suddenly, so inexplicably. Poseidon didn't even see Yi Shuihan make a move, and Zeus was dead. But it was definitely Yi Shuihan's doing, without a doubt. The only question is how Yi Shuihan managed to do all this.

.

Have you ever heard of compensation for emotional distress?

"The second clone suddenly spoke up."

Poseidon was taken aback, then realized what he meant and nodded frantically.

"I understand, I understand. These are the golden lotuses I collected before that I haven't used yet. This is a sea god stone, which is made up of the essence of the ocean. One stone can transform into an entire ocean. This is a wind pearl, a paulownia tree..."

Poseidon took out a large pile of things, intending to spend money to avoid disaster.

However, Yi Shuihan was completely unmoved by these things that ordinary people considered good, and his gaze toward Poseidon became increasingly unfriendly.

Finally, Poseidon, sweating profusely, kept taking out various items. Seeing that Yi Shuihan was still not satisfied, he hardened his heart and reluctantly took out his trident as well.

"I really have nothing left, just this divine robe I'm wearing. You have to let me wear something!"

Poseidon was almost in tears, but Yi Shuihan was still not completely satisfied.

"I...I...I'll take it off, okay?"

Under Yi Shuihan's piercing gaze, Poseidon was left with only a pair of red underwear. Don't ask why a god like Poseidon would wear underwear, and don't ask why it was red.

"Hmm," the second clone finally nodded slightly. "You've passed, but next time, I will definitely kill you."

Poseidon escaped unscathed, but Apollo was taken to the underworld by Yi Shuihan to serve as a gatekeeper. A sun god as a gatekeeper—just thinking about it...

Just thinking about it makes me feel so sophisticated.

Because of the world's advancement, Apollo may reach the Gold level in a short time. In this world, it might take a few years, a few decades, or even a few hundred years. In any case, he will definitely break through. In order to prevent him from retaliating against Yi Shuihan after breaking through, Yi Shuihan made him obediently hand over a wisp of his soul. As long as he has this soul, even if he can't kill Apollo, he can severely injure him. Yi Shuihan doesn't care about a severely injured Gold level.

Of course, whether Apollo can break through to the Gold level before Yi Shuihan is also unknown. With the system in place, Yi Shuihan has unlimited possibilities.

Compared to Poseidon, Apollo seems to be in a much worse situation. At least Poseidon still had freedom, while Apollo had even lost himself.

Afterwards, Yi Shuihan did not continue the killing. He gave the other main gods who participated in the siege some minor punishments and then let them leave. It was not that Yi Shuihan was magnanimous, but mainly that Yi Shuihan felt that he was no longer on the same level as these main gods and did not need to care too much about them.

A month has passed since World Ascension Day, and Yi Shuihan's injuries have fully recovered. Zeus's small sword is still quite powerful, allowing Yi Shuihan to focus on recuperating for a month. This is only because Yi Shuihan is strong; any other Silver-ranked player would probably have been worn down by their injuries, let alone recovered.

"Now it's time to summarize what I've gained. Sigh, my cultivation points have dwindled to such a tiny amount again."

Looking at the number 1900, Yi Shuihan was very depressed, as he originally had nearly 20 times that number.

"Thank goodness I have this, otherwise I wouldn't even have a place to cry."

Looking at the Heavenly Dao Blood in his hand and thinking about its effects, Yi Shuihan smiled. Exchanging over 3 cultivation points for the Heavenly Dao Blood was worthwhile.

"This is the key to a higher level! It's a wonder Zeus knew about the benefits of the Blood of the Gods."

Chapter 896, Exchanging Possibilities

Exchange for possibility

The Blood of Heaven, though called blood, is actually something far more mystical, because the Heavenly Dao is formless, and the Eye of Heaven is merely something that resembles an eye. In fact, it is entirely composed of energy, not flesh and blood. It is called the Blood of Heaven simply because it looks like blood; it is just a metaphor.

What kind of magic does the Heavenly Blood in Yi Shuihan's hands possess that made Zeus willing to sever himself from this world?

Having attacked the Heavenly Dao and even produced its blood, it's obvious that once the Heavenly Dao recovers, it won't tolerate him anymore. It will absolutely not stop until Zeus is destroyed, unless Zeus demonstrates the ability to threaten this world. Although the Heavenly Dao is powerful, it cannot completely ignore the destruction of its own world.

"Like a panacea, merit can improve one's cultivation level, strengthen magical treasures, and change one's fortune to a certain extent. However, most importantly, it can help one sever ties with one's past self."

That's right, it's about severing your past self. Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal is the Quasi-Saint, and the most orthodox way to become a Quasi-Saint, according to the prehistoric times, is to sever the Three Corpses, which are your good, evil, and true self. Generally speaking, severing a corpse requires a primordial magic weapon as a support. The stronger the magic weapon, the stronger the corpse that is severed.

This method of using the blood of the Heavenly Dao to sever one's past self is similar to the process of severing one's corpse to achieve quasi-saint status. The difference is that what is severed is the past self, and this past self does not become an avatar but merges with the original self, thus achieving the same goal of improving cultivation without the need for innate magic treasures.

By severing the past and future selves and gaining enlightenment, one can break through to the level equivalent to a saint, which is one step less than severing the three corpses. Moreover, in terms of strength, the former is stronger because the power severed is not dispersed but merged together. Upon reaching the saint level, one returns to the original point, making the two roughly equal.

"So Zeus really was farsighted. Even the Great Golden Immortals, who represent gold, hadn't broken through, yet he was already considering things at a higher level."

“Host, you’re mistaken. Things aren’t like that.”

"Uh, how could I have been wrong? Tell me, what do you think Zeus would be thinking?"

"This Heavenly Dao Blood must have been obtained by someone who asked him to retrieve it. It's the same person or force that gave him the lotus seeds, the shield, and the small sword. After obtaining the Heavenly Dao Blood, he could use that person or force to leave this world and go to a wider world. He would also receive certain rewards for completing the mission. They're not as good as the Heavenly Dao Blood, but they're definitely not bad either."

"It is indeed possible."

Even Yi Shuihan had to admit that the system's speculation made some sense. If he were Zeus, he would probably only take action against the Heavenly Dao under such circumstances. Otherwise, even if he obtained the blood of the Heavenly Dao, he would be trapped in this world and die. It would be better to stay put and cultivate to the Gold level.

Zeus was quite cunning; without Yi Shuihan as a variable, he might have already succeeded.

"The blood of the Heavenly Dao is good, but it's useless to me right now! I haven't even broken through to the Golden Immortal realm yet!"

Suddenly thinking about this question dampened the joy of obtaining the blood of the Heavenly Dao.

"Host, you can choose to exchange the Blood of Heaven and the Heavenly Dao for other things, such as smallpox and the Golden Lotus. And if you choose..."

"By exchanging them, the Heavenly Dao might treat your Hades avatar differently in the future. In the long run, your Hades avatar might be able to replace Zeus's position, and there might even be a slight possibility that it will rule this world."

"If it's really that beneficial, and he can even rule this world, wouldn't he be the master of the world? This world has a Heavenly Dao, so he wouldn't allow the power of the Underworld King's avatar to grow to a point where it can threaten him, would he?"

"That's true for others, but it's different for you, host. The Hades clone is still your clone. As your strength increases, his strength will also increase. That's the variable. With the variable, there is also the possibility—the possibility of becoming the master of the world."

Indeed, Yi Shuihan will not stay in this world forever. When he goes to other worlds, the Heavenly Dao of that world will have no control over him. At that time, it will probably not have much power to restrain the strength of the Underworld King's clone. In addition, the Underworld King's clone is completely a local in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao of this world. At that time, the Underworld King's clone will have an opportunity to take advantage of him.

It is almost impossible for an outsider to become the ruler of the world unless he has the ability to suppress an entire world by himself. In that case, he would not be a burden to the world, but rather becoming the ruler of the world would be a hindrance to him, and thus there would be no point in becoming the ruler of the world.

The locals are different. Heaven's resistance to locals is not as strong, at least not in the same way it would use against outsiders. Of course, this does not mean that locals can easily become the ruler of the world. Becoming the ruler of the world is still very difficult, requiring both opportunity and strength.

After much deliberation, Yi Shuihan finally resisted the temptation of the Heavenly Dao Blood and chose to return it to the Heavenly Dao, just to give the Underworld King's clone a chance.

"The Heavenly Dao is really stingy. The Blood of the Heavenly Dao is so precious; it should be worth tens of millions of cultivation points! But it only gave me 10."

Ten thousand."

Looking at the 101900 cultivation points and 5000 fusion points displayed by the system, Yi Shuihan grinned from ear to ear. Compared to the Heavenly Blood, which would take a long time to be used, these cultivation points and fusion points were the real hard currency, which could be used at any time to improve strength or deal with unknown dangers.

Several years later, after the Heavenly Dao had been silent, it made a new move, merging most of the worlds that it had previously devoured into this world, and doing so quietly. Those worlds became planets in this world.

Among the warriors of Yi Shui Han, apart from Saber, the others all found their original world in the Saint Seiya world, and the previous worries about what would happen if they lost their origin and returned to their original world were completely eliminated.

Perhaps it's because of the Yi River Cold, which means that their world planets are all very close together. In this way, with their strength, they can quickly make contact even if they are all on their own world planets.

Are you really planning to go back to your original world?

Yi Shuihan looked at the Saber King with a serious expression. Just now, the Saber King had approached him, expressing his desire to return to his original world.

Chapter 897, Leaving Saint Seiya

Leave Saint Seiya

The fact that the Deva Path of Saint Seiya did not include the Type-Moon world in this world shows that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The Deva Path of Saint Seiya probably felt that the Type-Moon world was not easy to deal with.

Originally, Yi Shuihan thought that the Type-Moon world should be included in the Saint Seiya world, because the combat power in Fate was only at the level of destroying a city. Not to mention the current Saint Seiya world, even the previous Saint Seiya world completely crushed Fate.

Upon closer reflection, I realized I had misunderstood. The Type-Moon universe isn't just a single Fate world; it's a world comprised of countless parallel universes and various versions of fantasy heroes. Even the city-destroying events of Fate are merely avatars of the Heroic Spirits. Their true forms may not be gods, but they are definitely powerful beings below the level of gods.

Saber is quite famous among the Heroic Spirits, but in reality, her actual combat strength may not be that strong, only above average. There are even God Eaters among the heroes in mythology.

Furthermore, gods exist in the Type-Moon universe; otherwise, how would demigod heroes have come to be?

Gaia and Alaya should be on the same level as the current Heavenly Path of Saint Seiya, or even more advanced in some respects.

Having figured all this out, Yi Shuihan didn't actually want the Saber to return to her original world. Having already cultivated to the Ninth Sense, she knew that if she went back, Gaia and Alaya would definitely be watching her, and unpredictable things could happen.

After telling Artoria his speculations, Artoria fell silent. She knew Yi Shuihan cared about her, but she still...

There are some things I can't let go of.

"Haven't you already watched the Fate series? Why are you still so upset? Besides, you're just an avatar. Even though you're almost separated from the original body now, why don't you put aside what the original body is carrying for now?"

"Who told you I'm a clone? I am the original!"

"What?"

This time, Yi Shuihan was truly stunned. He had always thought that what was in front of him was a clone of a heroic spirit. Habitual thinking can be deadly!

"That's right. For Heroic Spirits, most of their strength actually lies in their Noble Phantasms. Their actual strength level is generally not very high. So, it's not very reliable to distinguish between clones and the original body based on appearances. Moreover, after being transported through time, they will also undergo certain changes. In the end, for me, the difference in strength between clones and the original body is not obvious. They are both so weak."

It took Yi Shuihan a very short time to accept the fact that what was in front of him was the real body. At this moment, Yi Shuihan could vaguely understand the girl's feelings. Perhaps she just wanted to say sorry to the man who stole her wife, and tell him that she had actually come to terms with it.

"I can help you go back, but you have to promise me one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"You must protect yourself at all times. If you encounter danger, just ask me for help."

Otherwise, she would feel uneasy if she went back to resolve her inner conflict. Therefore, Yi Shuihan decided to let her go back. For her safety, Yi Shuihan spent 2000 cultivation points to give her a chance to summon him to her world, although it was only a limited-time summon.

This caused Yi Shuihan's cultivation points to plummet below six digits, leaving him with only 99900 points.

Yi Shuihan himself did not originally have the ability to bring the girl back to her own world. He sought help from Athena and others, and in the end, he relied on the power of the Heavenly Dao to open the path to the Type-Moon world.

...

"It's about time to go to a new world to seek opportunities for breakthroughs."

Fifty years have passed since the world's ascension, and Artoria has finally resolved her inner conflict and returned to the Saint Seiya world. There were some twists and turns in the story, but we won't go into those for now.

Thanks to the Jade Tablet of Creation and the favorable environment brought about by the world's advancement, Yi Shuihan has already cultivated to the peak of Silver 9-star, which is the peak of Golden Immortal. The next step is to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The world had its first Gold-level expert 20 years ago. Even Yi Shuihan did not expect that the one who broke through was not someone else, but himself, or more precisely, his Hades clone. It was thanks to the Hades clone that he was able to reach the edge of breaking through to Gold in such a short time. Otherwise, even with the Jade Tablet of Creation, this time would have been extended by at least several times.

With Hades' clone becoming the strongest being in the world, Yi Shuihan felt at ease leaving without worrying about anyone causing trouble after he was gone.

Yi Shuihan didn't tell anyone except his woman that he was leaving. Others only knew that he was facing a breakthrough and would be in seclusion for a while. He told Xiao Jie and the others that if they needed anything, they could go to the Underworld to find the new King of the Underworld.

Aphrodite has already signed a contract with Yi Shuihan and met the other girls. The girls are all living in Yi Shuihan's personal world. Yi Shuihan no longer intends to let them enter the summoning space. He occasionally goes into his personal world to comfort the girls.

Yi Shuihan transformed a grand and luxurious personal world into a crystal palace, finally indulging in a bit of extravagance.

Originally, Yi Shuihan intended for Aphrodite to stay in the Underworld to accompany Hades' avatar, but due to Aphrodite's strong insistence, she stayed with the other girls in Yi Shuihan's personal world.

"Holy Spirit, go!"

Staying in a secret room that only a Gold Saint could forcibly open, Yi Shuihan quietly left the world of Saint Seiya.

The current Yi Shuihan is not as weak as before, so when she travels through time, it's not like everything goes black and she's suddenly in her destination; she can feel the process of traveling through time.

Yi Shuihan calculated the time it took to travel through time and found that it took him about 7 days to arrive at the first new world. However, when the system was about to take him in, he chose not to. Then the system responded to his request and continued to search for new worlds.

Yi Shuihan did not enter the first world simply because he felt that the world was too weak and not enough to support his breakthrough. What he wanted was a world at least comparable to the world of Saint Seiya who had advanced to the Gold Saint level, and if it was stronger, that would be even better.

After traveling and stopping in this way, experiencing no less than a dozen worlds, Yi Shuihan finally stopped in front of a new world. He felt that this world should be able to help him break through.

The system led Yi Shuihan straight into that vast world...

Chapter 898, Heading to the Demon Star

Heading to the Demon Star

"It's clearly an interstellar world, and a relatively advanced one at that, so interstellar travel is now a possibility."

Having been in this world for three days, Yi Shuihan has a basic understanding of where he is: Maple Leaf Star, an ordinary tourist planet called Galo Star Region.

Due to its unique environment, Maple Leaf Star has a type of red maple tree that remains unchanged throughout the three seasons, making the entire planet beautiful every day and attracting many interstellar tourists.

There are probably more than a hundred planets like Maple Leaf Star in the Galo Starfield. There are a total of 129 named planets in the entire Galo Starfield. There are also some barren planets that don't even have names. These barren planets are not without life, but their environments are extremely harsh and unsuitable for habitation. They have no development value at all, which is why they don't even have a name.

The ruler of the Galo Starfield is a guy named Luo Mo, who commands a combat legion responsible for maintaining order in the starfield.

Because Fallen Leaf Star wasn't a large planet, Yi Shuihan didn't have much information about it, and he hadn't even confirmed what kind of world it was.

Of course, this world might not be the one that Yi Shuihan is familiar with.

To Yi Shuihan's surprise, this world understood the concept of the internet, and even mechs were relatively rare. Despite having developed to the point of being able to travel between different planets, they didn't even have the most basic Intellectual Network. When he learned this, Yi Shuihan was somewhat dumbfounded. It was completely different from the science fiction world he had imagined, where the entire universe was dominated by virtual networks and mechs were the mainstream.

When Yi Shuihan first learned that this was an interstellar world, he was thinking about whether he could play some virtual games, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.

On the third day, Yi Shuihan finally understood why this world's technology tree had gone astray. He saw several guys whose bodies contained energy comparable to that of a nuclear bomb. They seemed to have high status, but they were said to be at the bottom of Luo Mo's legion. This told Yi Shuihan that this was a world where individual combat power could defy the heavens.

Come to think of it, if this world were really that simple, it wouldn't be the world that Yi Shuihan chose to make his breakthrough.

"Sir, the spaceship of the Ten Million Demon Star has arrived. Please board."

"Okay, coming right away."

Responding to the servant who came to inform him, Yi Shuihan straightened his clothes and arrived at the spaceport. A colossal object about 2 kilometers long was quietly parked there. This was the Apple Tree, which Yi Shuihan was about to board. It was also the only large spaceship traveling between Maple Leaf Star and Demon Star.

The Demon Star is the central planet of the Galo Starfield, the planet where Luo Mo Dai lived.

This world seems to be tolerant of races. Yi Shuihan has seen more than a hundred races in the past few days. Most people are used to it and do not feel any sense of incongruity towards Yi Shuihan, the only human from Earth.

Because of his aesthetic sense, Yi Shuihan hasn't seen a single woman he finds pleasing to the eye in the past few days, but he has seen a whole bunch of women who terrify him.
