The group set off again, but this time Yi Shuihan carried the two of them, using his Chaos Emperor strength to fly them at a speed more than a hundred times faster. What was originally a journey of more than ten years was shortened to just a few months.

"Even a Chaotic Sovereign cannot break through space; this secret realm is extraordinary! Could it be that it was created by a Great Dao Emperor?"

In Yi Shuihan's understanding, if the secret realm was created by the Chaos Emperor, it should be unable to stop him, the Chaos Emperor. After all, it was obvious that the secret realm had been abandoned for countless years and was in a state of disuse.

This also reflects Yi Shuihan's lack of understanding. If he knew the true division of Chaos Emperors, he wouldn't think this way. The difference in strength between different Chaos Emperors is enormous, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are worlds apart. It's just that the Chaos Emperors that Yi Shuihan has come into contact with so far are not the strongest among the true Chaos Emperors.

Previously, I wasn't at the level of a Chaos Emperor, so naturally I couldn't obtain much information about Chaos Emperors; we were in different circles!

"Ba Che, you've arrived."

Upon arriving at the new location of the Fountain of Satiety, the company's quasi-emperor immediately came to guide them.

"This is Yi Shuihan, I won't introduce him, he's one of us, also an employee of the company. As for this one, Hemlari, a centaur, is Yi Shuihan's friend."

Yi Shuihan noticed that the prospective emperors of these companies looked at him with relatively friendly eyes, but they seemed somewhat repulsed when they saw Hemlari.

“Yi Shuihan has already agreed to the conditions, but he only needs enough for one person's needs; he won't take any more than that. The same goes for Hemlari.”

Noticing his companion's emotions, Ba Che quickly said that they had agreed to only let Yi Shuihan help. After all, although Yi Shuihan entered the secret realm as a member of the Myriad Realms United University, he still had the identity of a company employee. As for Hemlari, he had no connection with him at all, and in principle, he shouldn't have been brought along.

Hearing that Yi Shuihan only wanted one serving of the Feast Spring, plus Hemlari also got two servings, this result was much better than what they had initially proposed. Ba Che's companions finally showed genuine smiles and began to flatter Yi Shuihan, praising him for being loyal, generous, and humble. The atmosphere was very harmonious for a time.

"Luckily, these guys had some sense. Otherwise, if they had really offended this person, they would have been in deep trouble. This person has already become a Chaos Emperor. Unless they also break through in the secret realm, if their elders or backers find out that they have offended a Chaos Emperor, they will probably be crippled even if they don't die."

That's right, Yi Shuihan concealed his cultivation level. Well, you could say he could conceal it, but his cultivation level was simply unfathomable to these quasi-emperors, and they wouldn't even consider the possibility of him becoming a Chaos Emperor.

"How's the situation? Has that reincarnator made any move?"

When the Lord of the Stars was mentioned, Ba Che's companions all looked grim, clearly indicating that they hadn't been bullied by the Lord of the Stars during this period.

"That guy is despicable. At first, he took advantage of his strength to occupy four-fifths of the Satiety Spring. After discovering that Brother Ba Che had left, he used that as an excuse to reduce our water supply, giving us only one-tenth of the spring water, and he even acted like he was doing us a favor."

"A member of the Netherworld Clan, who looked somewhat young and had two horns on his head, said angrily."

“We’ve been bullied terribly by him lately, and we’re so glad you’re back.”

"Yi Shuihan, you absolutely must get justice for us!"

"If possible, we must teach him a good lesson."

The resentment in his words was so palpable that it left Yi Shuihan astonished, wondering if it was a bit too exaggerated.

A group of quasi-emperors looked at Yi Shuihan expectantly. What could Yi Shuihan do at this moment? Without saying a word, he had them lead the way to the Lord of Stars to settle scores.

Chapter 1326, Retreat Without a Fight

With the company making such a big show of it without any attempt at concealment, Shaquille O'Neal, the "King of Stars," naturally noticed it easily and became wary. He didn't believe that the company's unusual behavior was just a sudden lapse in judgment.

After seeing Yi Shuihan, O'Neal finally understood the source of the company's confidence. He was quite disdainful of the company's hiring of foreign aid, but dared not relax his vigilance towards Yi Shuihan.

He had also seen the battle between Yi Shuihan and the Emperor. Although the scene was interrupted at the end due to the battle between worlds, he could tell that Yi Shuihan was slightly stronger than him. He considered himself to be evenly matched with the Emperor, while the person in front of him had decisively defeated the Emperor.

"So you are Mr. Yi Shuihan, the champion of the All-World United University Competition. May I ask what brings you here?"

He was quite polite in his speech.

O'Neal was naturally incredibly arrogant in front of the other potential emperors in the company, and he had the right to be arrogant. In the God Space, he believed in the law of the jungle: if you are strong, you can do whatever you want; if you are weak, you must be obedient. These two different attitudes exemplified O'Neal's belief in the law of the jungle.

"A guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

One of the company's quasi-emperors spoke softly, but everyone present was a quasi-emperor, and Yi Shuihan was still a Chaos Emperor, so there was no difference between speaking softly and shouting loudly.

O'Neal naturally heard these words, but he didn't even change his expression. To him, it didn't matter what a weak person thought; he could completely ignore them. He only cared about how the strong viewed things.

He had agreed to come and settle scores, but faced with such a polite O'Neal, Yi Shuihan naturally couldn't appear too arrogant. After all, there was no direct conflict between O'Neal and him; he was just there to help.

"If he's smart enough, it's not impossible to let him off the hook."

Having become the Chaos Emperor, Yi Shuihan's mindset has changed somewhat; at least he's not very interested in bullying a quasi-emperor.

"You've occupied too many of the Satiety Springs. If you only occupy enough for one of your cultivations, then I won't make a move. On the other hand, if you're confident in your strength and think you can defeat me, you can try. But let me make this clear first: my strength has increased significantly recently, and I can't fully control my power. I might accidentally kill you."

Direct and brutal, Yi Shuihan had no intention of being polite with O'Neal, and his words were completely truthful. He had not fully mastered the power of the Chaos Emperor and could not completely suppress O'Neal to the point of not killing him.

Ba Che and Hemlari didn't find anything wrong with Yi Shuihan's words because they knew he had become a Chaos Emperor. The other company members, however, seemed a bit strange, wondering if Yi Shuihan was underestimating his opponent. They just couldn't say it because they were now on the same side.

O'Neill narrowed his eyes slightly. As the number one True Saint in the Main God Space, he had his own pride. Even if he would restrain himself when facing a strong opponent, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed, even if he was no match for Yi Shuihan. There was no need for him to be too humble. He could simply retreat first, then find an opportunity to kill the other quasi-emperors in the company, and then take advantage of Yi Shuihan's cultivation to seize the Fountain of Satiety. He would get just as much as he could.

This is also why O'Neal didn't know that Yi Shuihan was already the Chaos Emperor. If he had known, he would never have had such thoughts.

"Impossible. At most, I'll back down and only take three floors. The rest is yours, and I don't care how you allocate them."

Yi Shuihan's attempt to seize more of the Feast Spring was acceptable to O'Neill. By that logic, having three layers was acceptable. In his eyes, Yi Shuihan alone was more significant than all the other company's quasi-emperors combined.

"You have one minute to think about it, or you can choose to leave in this minute."

Just kidding, Yi Shuihan has already shown great mercy, do you think he can push his luck?

O'Neal's face darkened. Yi Shuihan was really too disrespectful. He had backed down again and again, showing his sincerity, but this was the result he got. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone O'Neal.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Starlight gathered around O'Neal, which was beautiful, but even more so, dangerous.

The other potential kings in the company felt uneasy in the face of O'Neal. They had a vivid memory of O'Neal's strength, a formidable force that even they could barely contend with when they all joined forces.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that O'Neill's previous suggestion of only occupying three layers of the Satiety Spring was quite good, and they wished they could turn back time. Then Yi Shuihan agreed.

"Can't Yi Shuihan just talk things out? Why is he making things so tense without even asking what we think?"

There are companies that aspire to be like this, but they dare not show it.

A minute is usually so short, but for the prospective emperors except for Yi Shuihan, Ba Che, and Hemlari, it was unexpectedly long, long enough that they could clearly perceive every single moment.

At the 58-second mark, O'Neal suddenly turned around and disappeared from the spot at an extremely fast speed.

"Run away now?"

"I thought we were going to have a big battle!"

"As expected of Yi Shuihan, he made him retreat without a fight."

O'Neal's departure relieved the prospective kings. To be honest, they really didn't want to go to war. Even with a great expert like Yi Shuihan holding them off, who knew if O'Neal would go crazy during the battle? If his attack hit them, they would be injured or even killed.

"It's too early to be happy. What if he goes all out and informs the other prospective emperors? The situation could become..."

He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood that the joy of getting rid of O'Neal vanished in an instant.

"It's okay, if they come again next time, just kill them."

Yi Shuihan said nonchalantly that even if he hadn't broken through, he wouldn't be afraid of the siege of all the other quasi-emperors. Now that he had broken through, killing all the quasi-emperors in the secret realm would be too easy.

Only Ba Che and Hemlari noticed that Yi Shuihan was referring to them and believed in Yi Shuihan's abilities. The other quasi-emperors were not so optimistic and felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

"Alright, at least we can get enough food from the Spring of Satiety before any other quasi-emperors arrive. Even if he summons other quasi-emperors, with Yi Shuihan there, our situation won't be too bad."

Ba Che's words of comfort had some effect.

Chapter 1327, The Seal

For the rest of the time, Yi Shuihan stayed behind to consolidate his cultivation and wait for the Lord of the Stars to make his move. It was almost impossible for the Lord of the Stars, O'Neill, to simply disappear without a trace, unless he had incredible luck and found a new source of sustenance.

For decades, O'Neal remained inactive, which gradually reassured the company's aspiring stars, who then focused on their training.

With ample food from the Fountain of Satiation, they can feel their own improvement, gradually approaching the level of the Chaos Emperor.

Yi Shuihan has already become a Chaos Emperor, and his goal of coming to the secret realm has been achieved. Now, he no longer focuses his main energy on cultivation, but instead turns to exploring the secret realm.

After breaking through his limits, the clone was too easy to use. He began to take the little girl to explore deeper levels of the secret realm. Under the little girl's guidance, he saw more and more things, and the veil of the secret realm was gradually lifted.

Having become the Chaos Emperor, Taiyi could now discern the little girl's true strength and weaknesses. With his power, he was 70% confident that he could forcefully get rid of her, unlike before when he was completely helpless.

However, the little girl has never posed a threat to him since she appeared. On the contrary, it was precisely because of the little girl that he was able to break through to the Chaos Emperor in such a short time. He has no intention of getting rid of the little girl.

Over the course of their time together, Taiyi had grown accustomed to the little girl and treated her like his own daughter, even considering taking her away with him.

In fact, Taiyi had once wanted to simply put the little girl into his personal world, but when he had this idea, a spiritual warning came from the depths of his mind, so he temporarily gave up.

The fact that even a Chaos Emperor possesses spiritual warnings suggests that this secret realm holds even more secrets, which is also Taiyi's goal.

"Pyramids? No, just structures that look somewhat like pyramids."

Unlike most places they had been to before, this place had strong energy fluctuations. Even the little girl, who usually didn't care about anything except what she ate, showed disgust and looked at Taiyi with her cute eyes, not wanting him to go in.

"what is inside?"

"Don't go...there's a...seal...danger..."

"A seal? And even you think it's dangerous. This sealed thing must be accessible only to those at the Chaos Emperor level."

The little girl's reminder had some effect, but even so, Taiyi wouldn't leave easily just because of what she said. He would at least go and see what the so-called seal actually sealed.

Sealing is generally used to target dangerous things, powerful treasures, or evil life forms. If it is the former, it is an opportunity; if it is the latter, it depends on the specific circumstances.

The little girl couldn't resist Yi Shuihan's insistence and eventually followed Taiyi into the pyramid.

The air inside the pyramid was surprisingly fresh, with a hint of floral fragrance, and there was no dust left over from the passage of time; the ground was frighteningly clean.

Once inside the pyramid, there is only one path, so Taiyi had no choice but to follow that path to the end, slowly making his way into the depths of the pyramid.

The road is sloping, and the further you walk, the deeper you are underground.

After about half an hour, Taiyi finally arrived at a fork in the road.

"This is like giving me a multiple-choice question! And there aren't even any hints."

Indeed, there were absolutely no hints; they looked almost identical.

Which way should we go?

At this point, we should naturally ask our mascot, the little girl.

The little girl heard Taiyi's question, but pointed behind her, meaning she wanted to leave.

"Tell me which way to go, and I'll give you all the chocolate you want."

Chocolate is a favorite snack of the little girl, and when she heard that Taiyi said there would be plenty, she hesitated.

In the end, the little girl couldn't resist the temptation of the food and pointed out the way to Taiyi, pointing to the left.

After giving the little girl a special chocolate-themed spatial bracelet, Taiyi stepped into the space on the right.

That's right, it's on the right. It's too easy to choose the opposite path that the little girl pointed to.

The little girl didn't want Taiyi to touch the seal, so the path she pointed out was naturally not correct. Taiyi realized this, so he could only tell the little girl, "You're still too green."

As it turned out, Taiyi's choice was not wrong. After traveling for another half hour, Taiyi arrived at the so-called seal.

"What kind of script is this?"

Even with his language skills, Taiyi still couldn't recognize the characters in front of him. He could only say that the characters were too rare and his language skills were a bit weak, just like the password language that True Eye Emperor used when he was in the treasure vault of the Multiverse University.

"seal......"

"You mean these two characters are pronounced 'seal'?"

"Um!"

Okay, actually, Taiyi is also a guess about the seal, since it has two characters!

The seal in front of him gave Taiyi a very solid feeling. He mobilized 10% of his power and gently impacted the seal, which only fluctuated slightly.

Taiyi then gradually increased his power, and finally discovered that the seal only began to show signs of collapse when his power reached 7%.

"In that case, I should be able to handle what's sealed inside, since I can break the seal but not what's inside."

This line of thinking makes some sense, but it's not entirely accurate, because the seal is targeted. It's easy to break it with a certain amount of power, but the sealed object cannot be broken with the same amount of power.

"It would be great if we could find out exactly what's inside."

Although he had the ability to break the seal, Taiyi did not break it directly. He would not do something so thoughtless as to break the seal without knowing the specific circumstances.

Therefore, finding out what's inside the seal without breaking it is what Taiyi needs to consider right now.

Using all the methods he remembered, Taiyi had to admit that the seal before him was far more advanced than any seal he had ever seen before, and could not be dealt with by conventional means.

Fortunately, he is now the Chaos Emperor, and since he is not far from his original self, he can call upon some of the system's powers, though this requires his original self's consent.

The deity naturally agreed, and Taiyi quickly received a response.

Chapter 1328, Corrosion Demon

A flash of inspiration appeared in Taiyi's eyes, and gradually he found that the seal in front of him was becoming transparent little by little.

"It really works."

Taiyi was overjoyed, and then focused his attention to carefully observe what was behind the seal. To be honest, Yi Shuihan was quite interested in what was sealed by such a powerful seal.

"Huh? No way! There's nothing there? Could it be that what was sealed away was a living being, which then perished over countless years?"
