Yi Shuihan has a master who is a Great Dao Emperor, but he himself is only one of the dozens of disciples of the Creation Emperor. Little Poison Emperor does not consider Yi Shuihan to be on the same level as him.
"I'll give you one more chance. Promise me, and I can pretend your rejection never happened."
Despite his anger, Little Poison King wasn't entirely stupid; he didn't attack directly, knowing he was no match for Yi Shuihan.
"I don't want this opportunity. Unless you give the company a direct order, I'll wait until the next billion years."
If Little Poison King really gets the orders from above, Yi Shuihan will have to consider whether to leave the company completely. As for this Seven Tribulations Great World, he can consider it as repaying the company for its kindness.
Now that Yi Shuihan's strength has been revealed, he is suspected to be at the third level of the Dao Creation Realm. Such a person cannot be touched in the company unless ordered by multiple Dao Emperors.
Even if Yi Shuihan doesn't make any mistakes, the Poison Heart Emperor alone cannot use his position in the company to directly suppress Yi Shuihan. Even if he wanted to take direct action, he would have to consider the influence of other Great Dao Emperors in the company.
With that great figure overseeing the company, there is order to it. They would never do something as blatant as suppressing geniuses within their own ranks and destroying their own foundation.
"My father asked me to pass on a message to you. He already knows some things. This matter is about making a choice for you. If you agree, he will pretend he doesn't know anything about it. If you disagree..."
"What happened? He found out! What does it have to do with me?"
Yi Shuihan's first reaction was that the matter of the Ghost Mother removing the brand had been exposed. However, he controlled his emotions in an extreme situation and showed his bewilderment at just the right moment.
Fortunately, Yi Shuihan controlled time and interfered with it for a moment, which prevented the Little Poison King from seeing through the flaw.
"I will take your words back with me, and I hope you won't regret it."
The Little Poison King left the World of Destiny after uttering these words.
"I hope this is just a test; otherwise, I will have no choice but to rely on my master's help."
Chapter 1460, Emperor's Puppet
Even though he anticipated that the Little Poison King would not let the matter rest after leaving, Yi Shuihan did not expect the other party's retaliation to come so quickly.
Just a few years later, the Little Poison King returned, accompanied by two puppets exuding the aura of creation.
When Yi Shuihan saw the puppet, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Even though the puppet's aura was much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator, Yi Shuihan believed that he could handle it.
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, the aura emanating from one of the puppets suddenly changed drastically.
"This is……"
Sensing that familiar aura, Yi Shuihan's expression changed drastically, and a terrible guess arose in his mind, which was confirmed the next moment.
"Are you here already?"
"Yes, Father."
The father the Little Poison King spoke of was naturally the Poison Heart Emperor.
The puppet whose aura had changed had completely transformed in appearance, becoming the Poison Heart Emperor that Yi Shuihan had once seen. The aura emanating from its body had also completely transcended the Dao of Creation.
If Yi Shuihan hadn't watched the whole thing from beginning to end, he would have definitely thought that the person in front of him was the real Poison Heart Emperor, and then turned around and ran away.
"Is this the will of the Poison Heart Emperor descended through some method? I wonder how much of the true power of a Great Dao Emperor he can unleash?"
Little Poison King retreated behind Poison Heart Emperor, with another puppet standing beside him closely. He looked at Yi Shuihan with cruel eyes and a sickly smile on his face.
"I wonder what important matter Your Majesty has brought with you?"
Yi Shuihan pretended not to know and asked.
The Poison Heart Emperor looked at Yi Shuihan with a scrutinizing gaze. Yi Shuihan felt a tyrannical consciousness probing him, without any regard for his feelings.
Even though what was in front of him was not the true Poison Heart Emperor, but only a part of the Poison Heart Emperor's consciousness, it still possessed a portion of the power of the Great Dao Emperor. The life-level pressure unique to the Great Dao Emperor pressed down on him, and Yi Shuihan felt that his body was about to become immobile.
During the struggle for the Heart of the Universe, Yi Shuihan felt for the first time the difference between the Great Dao Emperor and the Creator Dao. It was a gap that the Creator Dao could not resist. Just by standing there, there was no aura that could be used against him, and it was difficult for Yi Shuihan to kneel down.
Yi Shuihan is under even more pressure now than before. It's true that the person in front of him isn't the real Great Dao Emperor, but this time the other party is deliberately targeting him.
Of course, Yi Shuihan was only comprehending the Dao back then, but now he has entered the realm of creating the Dao, and his strength is much greater than before. The only thing he feels is that he can't move. This is an illusion. If he really wants to move, he can still do so.
Using the power of the system, Yi Shuihan blocked the Poison Heart Emperor's probe from outside his body, which made the Poison Heart Emperor let out a somewhat unexpected "Eh".
"I underestimated you, but the more secrets you have, the more interested I become."
The Poison Heart Emperor was indeed very surprised. The power that blocked him was beyond the level of the Dao Creation Realm, and it was clearly not something that Yi Shuihan could possess.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this? Are you going to attack me? I want to know, what did I do wrong? Is this how the company treats its meritorious employees?"
As he spoke, Yi Shuihan took out a communicator, a special communicator issued by the company to Chuangdao, which could be used to contact the company headquarters.
"boom."
Sparks flew, and the communicator exploded without warning, turning to ashes.
"I can't let you report! You'd better stay here obediently. If you cooperate, I might consider letting you go billions of years from now."
Before he finished speaking, a golden prison formed, trapping Yi Shuihan inside.
"Father, isn't this too lenient on him? What if he files a lawsuit a hundred billion years from now?"
"Don't worry, billions of years from now, he'll be one of us."
The Poison Heart Emperor's words were somewhat strange, and the Little Poison Emperor didn't understand. He knew his father well and knew that no matter what he said, his father wouldn't change his mind, so he said no more.
"What does he mean? Does he mean he can control me with his brand? Aren't those brands meant to control those below the Creation Dao level? Or has he gone a step further?"
While trying to decipher the meaning behind Poison Heart Emperor's words, Yi Shuihan also probed the prison; he was not about to surrender so easily.
When Yi Shuihan touched the prison cell, a sharp pain made him instinctively pull his hand back. He noticed that his fingers, which had touched the cell, were charred black.
The charred areas quickly healed themselves, but the stinging sensation lingered and only subsided after a while.
From Yi Shuihan's perspective, he couldn't figure out how the prison operated at all.
The power of time had no effect on the prison; instead, it made it even more secure.
"Don't waste your energy. This Golden Prison can't be broken unless you have power that surpasses the Dao of Creation. All your attacks on it will be absorbed and made stronger. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."
The seemingly casually created golden prison is actually quite complex. To give an example, he could only use this move a maximum of three times using this puppet body.
If the Poison Heart Emperor hadn't discovered the power of Yi Shuihan's system, he wouldn't have used the Golden Prison; instead, he would have directly inflicted severe injuries on Yi Shuihan, leaving him barely alive.
Yi Shuihan was unaware that the Poison Heart Emperor had developed a great interest in him, or rather, in the power of the system. At this moment, the Poison Heart Emperor's true form had already begun to rush here to study Yi Shuihan.
The so-called "letting Yi Shuihan go for billions of years" was just a lie to deceive Yi Shuihan. The Poison Heart Emperor's real plan was to turn Yi Shuihan into a puppet.
That's right, it's a puppet, just like the puppet body in which his consciousness has now descended.
This puppet body was once the body of a Dao creator, but after he captured and killed it, only the shell remained.
For the Poison Heart Emperor, such a puppet is quite rare, because only such a puppet can bear a portion of his power, unleash the invincible strength of the Creation Dao, and do certain shady things.
The Poisonous Heart Emperor's plan was to imprison Yi Shuihan's consciousness and then use his body to create puppets. Of course, this was after he had studied the power within Yi Shuihan that interested him.
Chapter 1461, Seeking Help
Despite being trapped in the Golden Prison, Yi Shuihan did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He kept trying to destroy the Golden Prison, but unfortunately, it seemed that the Poison Heart Emperor was telling the truth. The power of the Creation Dao level was completely useless against the Golden Prison.
It is true that the Golden Prison will absorb Yi Shuihan's energy and become more stable. After Yi Shuihan tested it several times, the Golden Prison became noticeably thicker.
The Poison Heart Emperor somehow produced a chair, sat down, tilted his head, and watched Yi Shuihan with great interest, as if he were watching a play.
The Little Poison King and another puppet have left, and screams are coming from outside.
To ensure the continuation of his teachings, Yi Shuihan did not stay in a place far from people; there were some people who served him regularly, who could be considered his close associates.
The Little Poison King hadn't taken his revenge on Yi Shuihan enough, so he's now venting his anger on others, making an example of them while also taking over their positions. Yi Shuihan has already established his authority; all he needs to do is modify Chuanbo's methods.
As long as Yi Shuihan doesn't show up for a while, the Great World of Struggle for Fortune will soon become the Little Poison Emperor's backyard. He doesn't expect these natives to be able to resist the Little Poison Emperor, after all, the difference in their levels is too great.
"What should we do? Use teleportation to leave, or expose our full strength and fight?"
Although the Golden Prison was troublesome, it couldn't stop Yi Shuihan from teleporting. It could be said that the power of teleportation had already surpassed the level of the Creation Dao. As for exposing his full strength to fight, Yi Shuihan felt that if he went all out, breaking through the Golden Prison wouldn't be difficult, and he might not even lose to the puppet avatar in front of him.
"Hmm? Finally given up?"
When Poison Heart Emperor saw that Yi Shuihan had stopped attacking Jin Yu and sat down cross-legged, he assumed that Yi Shuihan had given up. In reality, however, Yi Shuihan was contacting his clone.
Even the Golden Prison couldn't interfere with teleportation, so naturally it couldn't interfere with the connection between Yi Shuihan and Taiyi. In the end, Yi Shuihan still didn't choose to fight directly. Didn't the Poison Heart Emperor want to keep it a secret? Then he would expose this matter and see how the company would handle it.
Taiyi, who was far away in the Creation World, immediately sought out Ye Dongsheng to discuss the matter after learning about Yi Shuihan's situation.
Ye Dongsheng cared deeply for his junior brother Yi Shuihan, not only personally notifying the company but also contacting the Creation Emperor, employing a two-pronged approach.
After learning of Yi Shuihan's predicament, the company immediately contacted the Poison Heart Emperor, specifically the real Emperor.
The Poison Heart Emperor was originally on his way to the Great World of Destiny, but he was delayed because of the company's contact.
"who is it!"
A roar shattered all the clouds in the sky, and the puppet's face was filled with rage.
"Why is Your Majesty so angry? Who on earth offended you?"
Yi Shuihan asked with a curious expression.
"Was it you? No, impossible. You couldn't have done that under my nose."
His suspicions about Yi Shuihan were dispelled in an instant. As a Great Dao Emperor, even if it was only a partial understanding, he was too arrogant to believe that a Dao Creator could deceive him, even though he had come into contact with the power of the system before.
"Father, what happened?"
Little Poison King rushed over upon hearing the puppet's roar.
"You must leave here immediately."
"what?"
"The company already knows about the situation here, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. They will send people to investigate. Your presence here is to tell them that you were the one who did it."
"How is that possible? How could they know?"
Little Poison King screamed, his face filled with disbelief.
"Then what should he do?"
"I will take him away. As long as this matter is not exposed on the spot, everything can be handled. After a while, I will find an opportunity to let you come over legitimately. Before you leave, clean up this place thoroughly and make sure there are no loopholes."
"Yes, father."
Little Poison King answered unwillingly.
The Little Poison King went to deal with those who had seen him, leaving only Yi Shuihan and the Poison Heart Emperor at the scene once again.
"You'd better behave yourself, or I won't hesitate to kill you."
The puppet avatar threatened Yi Shuihan, then unleashed a golden light that slowly dissipated upon touching the Golden Prison.
"That saved me a lot of effort."
The fact that Jin Yu was released by the puppet avatar filled Yi Shuihan with joy. From the puppet avatar's words, he had already realized that his strategy had worked and that the company still valued him. The appearance of the Poison Heart Emperor here was merely his personal act.
Now all Yi Shuihan needs to do is get rid of the puppet avatar and wait for the company people to arrive.
The puppet avatar walked to Yi Shuihan's side and reached out to grab Yi Shuihan's shoulder.
Even such a routine action, because of the Poison Heart Emperor's consciousness, gave Yi Shuihan an irresistible feeling when it was performed. His mind kept telling him not to resist, to just let himself be captured, that being captured was the best option.
It took Yi Shuihan several seconds to get his body moving. Yes, several seconds, but this time was relative to himself. He activated Time Burst, slowing down his own time.
Their hands almost brushed past each other's shoulders, a truly close encounter.
"You still dare to resist?"
The hand that was grabbing him suddenly changed into a hand-blade shape and slashed towards Yi Shuihan.
This time, Yi Shuihan only took 3 seconds to get rid of the idea of sending himself there to be killed.
"laugh"
In the end, Yi Shuihan was still hit. Even though he had less reaction time, the opponent's speed was much faster than the previous grab. One was a grab, and the other was an attack. The latter's power and speed were definitely stronger than the former.
The puppet's arm was as hard as a primordial treasure; it could cut down not only people, but also entire worlds.
Having suffered a minor injury, it was slowly healing under its own regenerative abilities, and would be fully recovered in a few seconds. Unfortunately, the puppet avatar of the Poison Heart Emperor would not give Yi Shuihan that time.
Yi Shuihan's lack of cooperation clearly displeased the Poison Heart Emperor, who began to use harsher methods.
Aside from not using the system's power, Yi Shuihan tried his best but could only barely protect himself, and he kept getting more wounds on his body, making him look extremely disheveled.
"We can't go on like this. If I can't beat them, can't I at least run away?"
Despite taking a heavy blow, Yi Shuihan used the force to create distance and then began to run away.

"Can you run away?"
