"The final outcome depends on how the battle upstairs goes."
Raising his head, Yi Shuihan's gaze pierced through the chaos and saw the battlefield belonging to the Heavenly Dao.
"The Primordial Heavenly Dao is at a disadvantage. If it doesn't reveal some trump card soon, it will be suppressed. This won't do!"
Yi Shuihan was unwilling to see the prehistoric world divided up by the other two realms, and immediately had the idea of getting involved.
Chapter 1226, Black Hole Explosion
In the Heavenly Battlefield, three enormous orbs of light are colliding in the most primal way. One orb is blue, one is black, and the other is purple. The orbs of light naturally represent the Heavenly Dao, with purple representing the Primordial Heavenly Dao, blue representing the Heavenly Dao of the Technological World, and black representing the Heavenly Dao of the Wizarding World.
At first glance, this ball of light looks like the main god of a certain main god space, and in reality, it is quite similar. The ball of light is entirely formed from the origin of a higher world.
Below the sphere of light were three figures, one of whom was Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World, and the other two were naturally Dao Mergerers from the other two worlds.
Hongjun had essentially lost his emotions by this point, and his progress in achieving Dao integration had reached over 90%. Every move he made exuded the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Fighting two opponents at once was still a lot of pressure for Hongjun. He looked somewhat disheveled, with purple-gold blood flowing from his body and his hair disheveled.
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I'm here to help you."
Just as Hongjun was about to give up, Yi Shuihan suddenly entered the battlefield.
"Shopkeeper?"
The voice sounded slightly ethereal. The speaker was a Daoist from the technological world, and also the emperor of the Qian Yuan Empire. He was middle-aged, exuding an aura of dominance, with sharp eyes that gave off an air of arrogance.
The emperor's eyes still held a lot of his own emotions, clearly indicating that his progress in achieving Dao was far behind that of Hongjun, probably only around fifty percent.
Indeed, this is the case. These great sages from the world of emperors and wizards only began to merge with the Dao a few decades ago. It was only after they discovered the Primordial World that the Heavenly Dao of the two worlds allowed them to merge with the Dao. Unlike Hongjun, if they could successfully help devour the Primordial World, they would be allowed to retain their self-awareness after successfully merging with the Dao, becoming beings similar to half a world ruler. The reason they are only half is that they cannot completely control the Heavenly Dao, but are only equal to it.
The reason why the Heavenly Dao of both realms allows them to maintain their self-awareness is because the allure of the Primordial Heavenly Dao is too strong. Even Yi Shuihan is unaware that there are different levels of Heavenly Dao.
The potential of the Heavenly Dao in both realms is far inferior to that of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and even if they continue to develop, it is completely impossible for them to eventually become the Great Dao.
The Primordial Heavenly Dao is different; it possesses the potential to ascend to the Great Dao. As long as the Heavenly Daos of the two realms devour the Primordial Heavenly Dao, there is a slight chance of becoming the Great Dao. This is why they are so crazy and willing to pay any price.
The instinct to evolve is something even the Heavenly Dao possesses.
If the Primordial World is given the opportunity to develop, it will eventually surpass the other two realms. This is because the Primordial World has such a strong foundation that it may seem that it can only accommodate a few saints, but that is not actually the case.
A sage is a position, not a level of strength. A sage's cultivation can be replaced by that of a Primordial Golden Immortal. It is only because the primordial spirit relies on the Heavenly Dao that the sage will not die as long as the world exists.
Nine saints could exist in the primordial world, but the number of Primordial Golden Immortals could be even greater. However, the beings of the primordial world were misled by Hongjun and all wanted to become saints, thus neglecting the Primordial Golden Immortals.
The Emperor and Sage of the two realms actually represent the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, not the position of Saint. They do not have the ability to make the world immortal or themselves immortal.
"The shop owner previously defeated the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Even I, before I merged with the Dao, am far inferior to him."
The emperor appeared to be praising Yi Shuihan, but suddenly attacked him, along with the great sage from the wizarding world.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan seemed to have taken Hongjun's place.
Even though Yi Shuihan wasn't at his peak, he still had the ability to react. He immediately dodged, and they exchanged tens of thousands of blows in an instant. The surrounding space was shattered, and the chaotic energy turned into a vortex that kept devouring everything, making it look like a black hole.
Hongjun watched from the sidelines without making a move. Yi Shuihan didn't have time to blame him either. He knew that Hongjun was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao at this time and would definitely not deliberately harm him. After all, the one who needed help was the Heavenly Dao, not Yi Shuihan.
If you really anger Yi Shuihan, he can turn around and leave, but you can't escape the will of Heaven.
Hongjun did indeed have his own plans. He was recovering and preparing to strike at a crucial moment to severely injure an emperor or a great sage.
While Yi Shuihan and his group were fighting, the collisions in the sky became more and more frequent. With each collision, a new crack appeared on the purple sphere. At this point, there were tens of thousands of cracks, covering almost a third of the sphere.
The light spheres of the technological world and the wizarding world also have nearly one-fifth of their areas cracked, only slightly better than the primordial world. This shows that a single Heavenly Dao cannot win against the primordial world, and the Heavenly Dao of the primordial world is indeed extraordinary.
"Black hole explosion"
At a certain point in time, the emperor's body suddenly transformed into a black hole, which then exploded violently. Countless fragments of the black hole shot towards Yi Shuihan, and upon contact with Yi Shuihan's body, they began to devour him frantically.
Even the world's ruler was struck by numerous fragments of the black hole during this sudden attack. He then felt his power rapidly draining away, eventually becoming incredibly weak, as if he had gone from a strongman to an ordinary person.
Not far away, the Emperor's body began to reform, and the surrounding black hole fragments returned as well. Seizing this moment, Hongjun suddenly attacked the Emperor. Although the previous move was powerful and almost crippled Yi Shuihan's combat power, it also had a weakness: he could not move during the process of reforming his body.
Hongjun attacked the Emperor, but the Great Sage also attacked Yi Shuihan. A sense of crisis, no less than that of the previous black hole explosion, appeared in Yi Shuihan's heart.
Yi Shuihan didn't have time to curse Hongjun. He mobilized all his power and activated the Three Lights Secret Technique to recover quickly.
The powerful force struck Yi Shuihan, penetrating his internal organs and even affecting his personal world, causing a minor earthquake, tsunami, and volcanic eruption. The commotion was so great that Hancock and the others were filled with worry.
"Our husband is fighting, and we must do our part for him. Sisters, let's all help and stabilize this world."
The entire harem mobilized to carry out rescue operations across the world.
Outside, Yi Shuihan withstood the first wave of attacks and gradually stabilized. The restorative power of the Three Lights Secret Technique outpaced the speed of destruction, allowing him to recover.
Chapter 1227, Turning the Tide
Yi Shuihan was unharmed, but the emperor who was attacked by Hongjun was in a much worse state. He directly withstood Hongjun's full-force attack, and most of his body was destroyed, leaving only his head and one hand. All other parts disappeared. Fortunately, he was a Dao Integration cultivator at this time, otherwise he would have certainly died in this state.
"I miscalculated. I didn't expect you to have this level of power."
The emperor's expression was rather unpleasant. He had lost about 80% of his fighting power, and in this state, he was no match for Hongjun. The only consolation was that Yi Shuihan looked better than him, but his aura had also declined considerably.
What neither emperors nor great sages knew was that with Yi Shuihan's unparalleled regenerative abilities, he would soon regain his strength.
"I need to rest for a bit. You continue dealing with those two."
Yi Shuihan was saying he intended to leave, but the emperor suddenly teleported and appeared in front of him.
“I’ll handle him; you hold Hongjun off.”
The emperor addressed the great sage, who nodded slightly.
"Let me leave, and I promise I won't get involved again."
Yi Shuihan said very sincerely.
"That won't do. Only the dead can leave."
Because Yi Shuihan's actions clearly showed that he was feeling guilty, the emperor felt much more relaxed. What he didn't know was that Yi Shuihan was also very relaxed.
"Fortunately, it went as planned."
All of this was part of Yi Shuihan's plan. He deliberately feigned weakness to reduce the threat posed by the Great Sage, making the Emperor believe that he could deal with Yi Shuihan, and ultimately taking the initiative to deal with Yi Shuihan.
The truth is that even if Yi Shuihan were to win one-on-one against the Emperor now, his chances of victory would only increase over time.
The battle resumed, and Yi Shuihan "struggled" to hold on against the Emperor. The battle between Hongjun and the Great Sage was evenly matched. Originally, Hongjun could have won against one of them, but the damage to the Heavenly Dao was getting more and more serious, and his strength was declining faster than the other two. Now he only had about the same strength as the Great Sage. As time continued, when his strength declined again, he would no longer be a match for the Great Sage.
The situation looked extremely unfavorable for the Primordial side, with no hope of victory in sight.
"What's the point of persisting? Why not just give up? That would be easier."
While attacking Yi Shuihan, the emperor also began to use trash talk to undermine Yi Shuihan's will.
"Why don't you let me go and pretend this never happened? I have powerful backers. If you really kill me, your whole world will be in danger."
Yi Shuihan pleaded.
"Backend? You know, I almost forgot, the shop owner's backend can provide the system!"
Di Jun sighed, then changed the subject.
"What backer? Don't try to fool me. It's true that you're not from the Primordial Era, but your so-called backer is fabricated. We've investigated for a long time and found nothing. Your system must have come from your own system! It wasn't sent by your backer at all."
"Uh!"
For a moment, Yi Shuihan was stunned. He hadn’t expected that the other party would actually believe that he had no powerful backing. Although it was just to lull the emperor into a false sense of security, what Yi Shuihan said was true!
As a formal member of the company, if you are killed, the company will send someone to investigate. If it is discovered that you were maliciously murdered, revenge is not impossible.
For the company, the technological world and the wizarding world are not powerful; any random Chaos King could destroy them.
The battle continued for some time, and with a violent impact, the Primordial Heavenly Dao finally collapsed due to the cracks, and one-fifth of the light sphere separated.
Hongjun's strength dropped drastically again, finally falling below that of the Grand Wizard, and he was on the verge of being defeated.
"Okay, it's almost time."
Suddenly, Yi Shuihan spoke, and amidst the emperor's bewildered gaze, they engaged in their first direct confrontation, fist to fist, and the emperor was repelled.
"How is that possible? Your strength!"
"You seem to have never grasped the situation! Don't you think I've been holding out for a little too long?"
"You're hiding your strength? No, that's not right. You're stalling for time, but how did you recover? How is such a recovery speed possible?"
The emperor, as expected of someone standing at the pinnacle of a realm, saw through the truth, but it was too late; Yi Shuihan no longer needed to hide.
"I made you feel good just now, now it's my turn. I hope you can hold on a little longer."
The current emperor is weaker than when he fought Yi Shuihan, because he has expended a lot of energy. With this shift in strength, he has completely lost the ability to dodge.
Every strike hit the core, every punch landed with flesh, every blow drew blood, and the emperor was brutally tortured by Yi Shuihan.
The emperor was quickly beaten into incapacitated and could only stand there, glaring at Yi Shuihan with hatred.
If the emperor had not already merged with the Dao, he should have died by now. However, after merging with the Dao, he lived and died with the Heavenly Dao. Even though he did not completely merge with the Dao, he still had consciousness when he was reduced to nothingness and thus entered resurrection.
Once it was brought to a resurrection state, it had to start absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the blue light of the Heavenly Dao above suddenly dimmed a lot, the impact force decreased, and the Primordial Heavenly Dao had a chance to rest.
"In that case, as long as we kill them a few more times, the Primordial Heavenly Dao will be able to win."
Having grasped the situation, Yi Shuihan shifted his focus to the Great Sage. Since his strength was already superior to the Great Sage's, and with the combined attack, the Great Sage was quickly forced into a resurrection state.
The battle of the Heavenly Daos above became evenly matched. For the first time, the Primordial Heavenly Dao broke free from its disadvantage. This time, the Primordial Heavenly Dao shifted from defense to offense. It cleverly launched a fierce attack on one of the Heavenly Daos, intending to expand its gains and turn the evenly matched situation into one where it had the upper hand.
"A simple collision contains a great deal of competition."
Yi Shuihan had time to carefully observe the battle between the Heavenly Daos and saw through its secrets. It was called a collision, but in fact it was a contest of everything. All the power that could be used for fighting was transformed into hardness. One force can break all laws. Every collision would inevitably cause damage. It was a matter of which side was harder and suffered less damage.
Afterwards, Yi Shuihan killed the emperor and the great sage several more times, and the Primordial Heavenly Dao completely gained the upper hand. It almost succeeded in devouring the Heavenly Dao of the two realms. The reason it was almost was because the Heavenly Dao of the two realms abandoned part of the origin of the advanced world and ran away at the last moment, making a very decisive sacrifice.
Chapter 1228, The Growth of the Human Race
When the battle ended, the sphere of light representing the Primordial Heavenly Dao was only one-third of its original size, and there were still many cracks on it. However, it had taken away some of the advanced world origins of the other two realms, so it was estimated that it would not take too long to recover to its original size, perhaps a few thousand or even a few hundred years.
For the Heavenly Dao, several hundred years is probably equivalent to less than an hour for an ordinary person.
"If I were to go now, how confident would I be in destroying the Primordial Heavenly Dao?"
This question popped into Yi Shuihan's mind, and he quickly concluded that the success rate was over 6%, with a 4% chance that the Heavenly Dao would drag the Primordial World down with it before being destroyed, in which case Yi Shuihan might also perish directly.
A bright light flashed, and then two orbs of light, one blue and one black, appeared in front of Yi Shuihan.
"Payment? You're smart to be sensible."
Yi Shuihan put away the advanced world origins. Two more advanced world origins. If he hadn't obtained the five advanced world origins from dealing with the Heavenly Dao avatar alone, Yi Shuihan would probably have been even happier. The main reason was that the previous battle was not only easier but also more profitable. Comparing the two...
"Okay, well, I was the one who offered to help later! Consider it a good deed."
The first world war between the three realms has come to an end. At the level below the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial World suffered almost no losses in the Saint-level battlefield, while the Second Realm suffered more losses. Although the Second Realm suffered more losses at the level below the Saints, it was actually not a big deal. On the contrary, the Primordial World, because it was fighting on its home ground, was almost destroyed, and countless ordinary beings suffered as a result.
"In this way, the human race can take this opportunity to step into the spotlight and become the main protagonist of the world. This is a pleasant surprise."
A counterattack against the other two realms is impossible. We are not fighting on our home turf. Not only will the opposing side be outmatched in strength, but their strength is also greater than that of the Primordial World. We would be unable to win even if we went, unless Yi Shuihan went with us.
If the Primordial Heavenly Dao were to take the initiative and attack, it would probably only manage a stalemate in another world. If it were to be besieged, it probably wouldn't even have the chance to perish together with another. Considering all aspects, the Primordial Heavenly Dao doesn't have the qualifications to launch a counterattack.
Some members of the anti-invasion alliance did propose a counterattack, but it was quickly overwhelmed. After the great battle, everyone was exhausted and their fighting spirit was very low.
......
"We've finally repaired the portable world, and it's even been strengthened by 2 times compared to before. With so many high-level world origins, it's only been strengthened by 2 times. It seems that the effect of high-level world origins is also starting to weaken. It's becoming increasingly difficult to continue to gain a lot of combat power from the portable world."
The portable world was enhanced by 2 times, but in reality, it did not increase Yi Shuihan's strength by that much. It didn't increase by 2 times, or even by 1 time. If we had to say, it would only increase his combat power by about 10% at most. This made Yi Shuihan feel slightly disappointed, and his thirst for the origin of the higher world also decreased a lot.
In the time that followed, Yi Shuihan continued to condense his Chaos Body, while his clone occasionally dealt with matters related to the Anti-Invasion Alliance, living a relatively carefree life.
The beings from the other two realms on the Primordial Continent have largely disappeared, and their presence is now barely visible. Their presence has diminished considerably over time, but the Anti-Invasion Alliance certainly still remembers them.
Without the interference of the two realms, the prehistoric continent returned to normal. The human race gradually grew stronger and demanded more territory, which led to clashes with the witch and demon races.
The Lich and Demon races suffered heavy losses in that battle, and after excluding their leaders, their overall strength was inferior to that of the human race. If the human race had not yet lacked Saint-level combat power, the Lich and Demon races would not have been able to contend with the human race.
Under the current special circumstances, Di Jun cannot openly suppress the human race, after all, external pressure is still there, and the prehistoric world will not allow too much internal strife.
The will of Heaven had ordained that the human race would be the overlord of the world, a fact that was never concealed later on. Although the Wu and Yao races were unwilling, they had no choice but to continuously shrink their territory, which led to a certain decline in Di Jun's strength.
"Damn it, if this continues, our demon race will be completely wiped out of the prehistoric world in less than ten thousand years, and my strength will drop below that of a saint in less than a thousand years."
After listening to his subordinate's report, Di Jun's face turned frighteningly gloomy. At this critical moment, he could no longer hold back.
“Husband, why don’t we ask Taiyi to mediate? Our demon race’s total numbers are no less than those of the human race, and our territory cannot be smaller than theirs.”
Xihe suggested.
"Taiyi?"
