Only after Yi Shuihan left did the wizards begin to communicate.
"Lord Mason, the teleportation crystal is destroyed. What should we do next?"
A Sun Wizard looked dejected. Because the crystal was destroyed by a Sage-level being, they wouldn't die, but the scene would definitely not be pleasant. Compared to Holy Spirit Wizards, these Sun Wizards were truly not valued by the higher-ups. This time, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured. They were filled with immense fear.
"Ugh."
Looking at his men, Mason sighed, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.
"Let's go to the remaining two teleportation crystals! It's too late to say anything now. We can only hope to make a contribution in this invasion and redeem ourselves."
Braden suggested that he wasn't the guardian of the crystal, so even if the crystal was destroyed, he wouldn't be in any danger; he was just feeling a bit down.
"That's all it can do."
Chapter 1200, Finally Obtaining the Origin of the Higher World
Zhunti saw the changes in Yi Shuihan's merit points through the split of the Heavenly Merit Ranking. Looking at the task of destroying the teleportation crystal, the number of teleportation crystals had been reduced to 2. Thus, he was completely certain that another crystal had just been destroyed by Yi Shuihan.
Seeing how easily Yi Shuihan obtained a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Zhunti was extremely envious! That was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure; even he only had two or three, one of which was his companion spiritual treasure.
"Taiyi promised you something, and I'll promise you the same thing. I'll even give you a lot of benefits. Tell me the locations of the remaining two teleportation crystals, okay?"
Even though he hated Jay to death, Zhunti still couldn't help but say something to him.
Jay looked at Zhunti with surprise, and he also felt a little admiration for Zhunti's personality. He really was good at swallowing his anger.
If, as Zhunti said, Yi Shuihan had promised him something in exchange for his help, Jay might have been persuaded by Zhunti in that situation. However, the truth is that Zhunti was completely unaware that Yi Shuihan had not asked him to lead the way at all. On the contrary, Jay had followed along and was only able to save his companion's life thanks to Yi Shuihan's kindness.
From the very beginning, Zhunti had misunderstood the situation; the things he was talking about were simply impossible.
"You can't afford the benefits that Lord Taiyi offered."
Jay replied coldly.
Zhunti wanted to say something more, but Yi Shuihan had already returned to the ground, so Zhunti had no choice but to swallow his words.
Zhunti forced a smile at Taiyi and said insincerely, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, you truly deserve to be one of the councilors of my Anti-Invasion Alliance. Destroying five legendary crystals in such a short time has greatly dampened the arrogance of the Wizarding World."
Yi Shuihan was completely unmoved by this level of flattery, and he could also tell that Zhunti's words were intended to sow discord between him and Jay. However, it was clear that Zhunti had no idea about the relationship between Jay and Yi Shuihan.
"Are you finished?"
"what?"
"I'm leaving now that I've finished talking."
Looking at Yi Shuihan's retreating figure, Zhunti's mind went blank, completely unable to understand how things had developed this way.
When Yi Shuihan and the others had disappeared without a trace, Zhunti's pent-up anger finally erupted. He unleashed his aura without reservation, his power pressing down on an area of tens of thousands of miles. What was originally a forest was reduced to ruins under his pressure.
Finally, Zhunti notified his senior brother to come over, and he went to explore the small space where the crystal had been, only to find that there was nothing there anymore, and the wizards had also disappeared without a trace.
......
"I won't destroy the teleportation crystal next, so you don't need to follow me anymore."
The merit points accumulated from the 5 crystals were finally enough to exchange for a high-level World Origin. Yi Shuihan no longer had the idea of destroying the crystals. After all, there were only 2 left. If he destroyed them again, he would really offend the Wizarding World. It's better to leave a way out for others, so that you might meet again in the future!
Knowing that Yi Shuihan wouldn't continue to damage the crystal, Jay breathed a sigh of relief. Communicating with his fellow countrymen was never easy for him, and he didn't want to.
Jay left Yi Shuihan. Next, he will report the system's message back to the Wizarding World. The buyer that Yi Shuihan is looking forward to should arrive soon.
"Speaking of which, we should have news from the tech world soon."
The thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind, and his attention was completely focused on exchanging the origin of the higher world.
When Yi Shuihan chose to exchange, the Heavenly Dao remained silent for a long time before responding, clearly indicating that it did not actually want Yi Shuihan to exchange for the origin of a higher world.
In the end, Heaven did not renege on its promise and delivered a portion of the Heavenly Dao's essence to Yi Shuihan.
"A return to simplicity? Or is it just a way to mock me?"
Looking at the lifeless weed in his hand, Yi Shuihan murmured.
Who would have thought that this ordinary weed was the origin of a higher world? Although the origin of the world can transform into all things, a weed is too much of an exaggeration.
"The value of this single weed is about the same as that of the Pangu Banner and the Four Swords of Zhuxian."
Kunpeng, standing to the side, was at a loss for words as he watched the weeds that suddenly appeared in Yi Shuihan's hand. He saw that Yi Shuihan seemed to take the weeds very seriously, but he just couldn't see anything special about them. They were just ordinary weeds that could be found anywhere!
"With a single blade of grass in hand, one can sweep away all the powerful beings in an entire realm."
Recalling a description from a book he had once read, Yi Shuihan waved the grass in his hand in a pretentious manner, looking rather comical.
"You probably didn't see anything!"
"Sir, what are you talking about? I was just spacing out."
"Yes, be more focused and don't get distracted."
"Okay, sir."
Seeing that Yi Shuihan had finally shifted his gaze, Kunpeng's expression turned serious, but his mind was in turmoil. He had experienced Yi Shuihan's daily goofy behavior more than once, but although he had learned how to deal with it after so many times, he had not yet fully adapted.
Riding the Kunpeng, Yi Shuihan began his return journey. He couldn't wait to use the origin of the higher world to enhance her personal world.
"If a Gold-level portable world is successfully upgraded, with the support of the entire world, it is easy to have the combat power of a True Saint. Moreover, there will be no more bottlenecks before reaching the Chaos Emperor level. If the portable world can become like the Primordial World, it is not impossible to reach the strength of a Chaos Emperor when one reaches the True Saint level."
For Yi Shuihan, the improvement of his strength is what excites him the most. All his previous actions, including selling the system, were for the purpose of improving his strength. If the contribution points he gets from selling the system cannot buy anything that can improve his strength, he will no longer buy the system.
The things in the company are still very useful to him, at least for now. Only after he breaks through to the Chaos Emperor level will the role of contribution points be greatly reduced, because if a Chaos Emperor wants to advance, he has to earn it through his own means, and relying on contribution points is useless.
Returning to Yi Shuihan's old lair in the prehistoric world as quickly as possible, Yi Shuihan then announced his seclusion.
"Alright, now comes the moment to witness a miracle."
He opened his portable world and released his grip on the weeds. Instantly, the weeds radiated light, and astonishing changes began to occur.
Chapter 1201, The Golden World, Achieved
The weeds underwent a violent chemical reaction upon entering Yi Shuihan's portable world. Now, the golden weeds look like something with an amazing origin, completely unrecognizable from their previous ordinary appearance.
As if sensing the benefits brought by the weeds, the world began to tremble slightly. The sky became cloudless, the sun shone brightly, and the sun and moon rose together. Even areas that were in darkness were now as bright as day.
Strange phenomena emanated from the air, and creatures living in the Yishui Cold World felt their minds clear and their bodies comfortable upon smelling them. Some minor ailments even healed without treatment, as if they were bathing in a medicinal bath.
Such a commotion was felt by almost everyone still alive in the portable world, and they all looked around in shock.
"Do not panic. This is a sign that the world is becoming stronger. Just wait quietly."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Yi Shuihan's voice reached the whole world. Hearing the familiar voice of Yi Shuihan, the ruler of this world, everyone's hearts were soothed as if by a gentle hand, all their unease disappeared, and they had a pillar of support.
"The world is getting stronger. Does that mean the world is advancing in power? My husband is going to become even stronger."
"That's great! If the world becomes stronger, we will also benefit greatly. Thank you for the blessing of the Lord of the World. Last time the world advanced, I broke through two realms in a row."
"The stronger the world's ruler is, the safer we are. We are so lucky to be able to live here."
People cheered, rejoicing that the world was becoming stronger.
As the master of the world, Yi Shuihan felt the changes in his personal world the most deeply. Although his personal world was very powerful before, it always felt like it lacked a bit of spirituality. Without the origin of a higher world, it would be extremely difficult for this spirituality to be born, at least hundreds of millions of years. But after Yi Shuihan put the weeds into his personal world, everything changed.
It takes countless years for a spiritual being to be born, but under the influence of the origin of higher worlds, that time is constantly shortening. The entire world now seems to be gestating something, and one can hear a heartbeat coming from the darkness.
As time passed, the weeds that were the embodiment of the higher world's origin were no longer the complex weeds they once were. Now, they appeared as a clump that was constantly changing its shape, emanating a mysterious aura that was noble and elegant, inspiring longing and reverence from the depths of one's soul.
Life exists through evolution, and the Heavenly Dao is also a kind of life form, only it is ruthless. The origin of the higher world causes the world will of the personal world to begin to evolve and leap towards a higher life form, and this process is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Yi Shuihan felt the same way and experienced the process of world evolution. This was very beneficial to him. His cultivation level and realm did not change, but his soul was fulfilled.
"The process of becoming stronger is the process of gradually making up for one's own shortcomings and evolving towards a flawless and perfect form."
With a sudden realization, Yi Shuihan's somewhat agitated mind, which had been agitated by the world's advancement, calmed down. At this moment, he seemed to no longer care about the world's advancement.
The portable world continues to absorb the essence of the advanced world, but the absorption speed is not fast. It is difficult to see the changes in the essence of the advanced world with the naked eye. It is such a small ball, yet it contains energy that would shock the entire world.
Yi Shuihan's world advancement remained stagnant for over half a month, while the outside world was in an uproar. The reason for the argument was that someone had set up a betting pool, betting that Yi Shuihan could destroy all the crystals in a few days.
Because of the speed at which Yi Shui Han destroys crystals, the opening betting period is set to be within half a month.
Many powerful individuals participated in gambling for fun, mostly choosing periods within 7 days or even 3 days, and they were promptly scammed.
"What's wrong with Councilor Taiyi? It's been half a month and there's still no news. Could it be that he can't find the last two crystals?"
"Perhaps the people of the wizarding world are afraid of Lord Taiyi, so they keep changing locations!"
“I think Taiyi definitely didn’t want to destroy the crystals because he is also an outsider, so he showed mercy. Otherwise, why would the first five crystals be destroyed so quickly? I don’t believe he couldn’t find the remaining crystals.”
"I believe in Lord Taiyi. It's definitely not his fault. The wizarding world isn't stupid either. They must have realized what happened after so many crystals were destroyed."
At first, there were only occasional debates, but later it evolved into whether Yi Shuihan was colluding with the Wizarding World, which was undoubtedly fueled by certain individuals.
These things naturally cannot shake Yi Shuihan's position, but because Yi Shuihan does not come out to explain, it also makes people suspicious and sows a seed of doubt. This seed may grow into a towering tree at some point in the future.
Yi Shuihan was unaware of this matter, and even if he had, he wouldn't have explained. Firstly, it was unnecessary; let others think what they want. Being too concerned would only cause more trouble, as long as there was no substantial harm. Secondly, what they said wasn't actually wrong; the Yi Shuihan region colluded with the Wizarding World, and the remaining two crystals were indeed intentionally left undamaged. If he were to explain, wouldn't it have the opposite effect without lying?
A year has passed in the blink of an eye. Yi Shuihan's personal world has finally come to an end. The origin of the advanced world has now shrunk to the size of a grain of rice and could be completely absorbed at any time.
The portable world is in a very special state for a whole year. In this state, all creatures in the world receive certain benefits, such as enhanced talents and faster cultivation speed.
A spark of inspiration arises from the darkness, like the Big Bang, shaking the soul.
"The Way of Heaven has been born."
Yi Shuihan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, revealing a look of wild joy. He burst into laughter, and from that moment on, his personal world completely transformed into a golden world, and his strength and foundation experienced a new surge.
The portable world was in turmoil, and the benefits brought by the world's advancement caused further changes. The space became more stable, the rules became more complete, countless beings were born in an instant, and countless people took advantage of this moment to break through quickly. The overall strength of the world increased with almost every breath.
The celebrations and revelry surrounding the advancement to the next world lasted for a full month before gradually stabilizing, and Yi Shuihan also received corresponding benefits.
Chapter 1202, Two Worlds, Two Attitudes
"I never expected to break through directly to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and a very stable late stage of Quasi-Saint at that. I can already start to break through to Saint. This is truly an unexpected joy."
Feeling his strength increase several times over, Yi Shuihan's face was full of smiles. He hadn't actually thought that the world's advancement would also bring him a step closer to his own realm. After all, the last time his personal world advanced to silver, it only brought an increase in combat power.
"That's right. The reason I didn't get a breakthrough last time was because the Silver World was already the limit that the Silver World could reach at that time. Now that the Silver World has been upgraded to the Gold World, the limitations of the Gold World have become much higher. Even though it is now in the early stages of becoming Gold, the limit it can accommodate is definitely not just the Great Luo. That's why my cultivation level has been upgraded."
Yi Shuihan quickly figured out the reason.
"I wonder how strong I am now? With the blessing of the entire Golden World, no one in the Primordial World can do anything to me now. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot suppress me."
Yi Shuihan's personal world is weaker than the Primordial World, but they are currently at the same level, and the difference is visible.
While the Primordial World was indeed powerful, Yi Shuihan's personal world was not much weaker. In addition, given Yi Shuihan's status as the world's master, he could borrow the power of the entire world. The Heavenly Dao, on the other hand, dared not say that it could mobilize the entire Primordial World, at most only the vast majority of it. With this shift in power, the gap between the two narrowed considerably once again.
In terms of hierarchy, the ruler of a world is more powerful than the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao still needs to act according to certain rules. For example, even though it knows that Yi Shuihan is bleeding the primordial world dry by selling the system, it cannot take action against Yi Shuihan because of the constraints of the rules. At most, it can only suppress the strength of those wizards from the outside world instead of directly annihilating them.
If it were the ruler of the world, these rules wouldn't need to be followed at all. If Yi Shuihan knew that someone coming into his personal world was harmful, he wouldn't need to think so much and would just eliminate them directly.
The increase in his strength gave Yi Shuihan an urge to fight someone, but he ultimately restrained himself. Since he had no opponent, he couldn't very well go and fight Hongjun. If he guessed correctly, Hongjun was basically at the stage of merging with the Dao. Going to fight Hongjun would be equivalent to going against the Heavenly Dao. If something bad happened in the fight, the damage to the prehistoric world would be too great.
Even if there were two other worlds outside the Primordial World that were eyeing it covetously, Yi Shuihan couldn't let the creatures of the Primordial World suffer just so he could experience his new strength.
Having canceled his seclusion using an array and been isolated for over a year, Yi Shuihan stepped out of his seclusion place.
"Master, you've finally emerged from seclusion."
As soon as Yi Shuihan came out, he saw Kunpeng running over anxiously.
"Stop and take a deep breath."
Yi Shuihan knew that Kunpeng must have something important to report, but he was not in a hurry. He was confident that he had the strength to face anything.
Kunpeng was initially very anxious, but after hearing Yi Shuihan's words, he inexplicably calmed down and naturally took a deep breath as Yi Shuihan instructed.
"What was that just now...?"
Looking at Yi Shuihan in horror, Kunpeng thought about his own performance just now. He knew perfectly well that he had been influenced by Yi Shuihan. A single sentence had made him like that. It was terrifying. If it were during a battle, wouldn't a single sentence make him dizzy and disoriented, or even make him commit suicide without him even realizing it?
Having witnessed Yi Shuihan's formidable abilities, Kunpeng was much calmer this time. With such power, everything was much easier to manage.
"It's like this. During the time you were in seclusion, people from the wizarding world and the technological world came. They wanted to buy a large number of systems. Since you weren't there, they went to the store to buy them, but they were discovered, which led to a great battle. In the end, we people from the prehistoric world were defeated. It was only thanks to the Sage Nuwa that those people were forced to retreat."
"Later, they went to the store again to buy the system. One of them was the Ice Sage from the Wizarding World. Even the Sage Nuwa couldn't do anything to him. In the end, even with the help of the Sage Houtu, they could only barely fight the Ice Sage to a draw."
"In the final technological world, a Yu Emperor appeared and took advantage of the battle to capture Donghuang Taiyi, and even took the system from the shop. Styx was unharmed because it was an avatar. The other party said that you should go to him in person to ask for him back."
After Kunpeng finished speaking, he looked at Yi Shuihan's expression and found that Yi Shuihan still had a smile on her face and looked somewhat dazed.
"Interesting. You want me to go and beg for his life? Fine, I'll go then. I hope he's stubborn enough."
As for the Yu Emperor of the technological world, Yi Shuihan felt that the other party was courting death. Did he not inquire about him after arriving in the prehistoric world and not know that he was not easy to mess with?
Yi Shuihan was unaware that the Yu Emperor had actually been investigating everything that had happened to him since he came to the prehistoric world. However, he was too confident in his own strength and believed that no matter how strong Yi Shuihan was, he could not possibly be stronger than him, so he did whatever he wanted.
Compared to the wizarding world, the Yu Di of the technological world is suppressed less in this primordial world because they rely on mechs. Mechs are external objects, and the primordial heavenly way mainly suppresses cultivation.
