Chapter 1480, Eliminating Wishful Thinking

The leaves that had appeared in front of Wuye disappeared, and Wuye looked at Yi Shuihan with a very strange gaze.

How to put it? Being looked at like that, Yi Shuihan felt extremely uneasy and uncomfortable.

"Puppet doll? So this move really is his signature skill!"

Yi Shuihan did not deny Wu Ye's words. He did not know about the puppet doll from the beginning. He was able to get through by luck only because of his intuition.

Yi Shuihan himself was unaware of how extraordinary his self-awareness was. Wu Ye's puppet doll technique was a causal-level move. Once it was used, unless one could immediately use the power to break the move, the only solution was to use the method Yi Shuihan had just used.

Many Great Dao Emperors have died from this move, and it took a great deal of effort from all the realms to figure out its true nature.

The power that can break this move represents the power of the top ten Great Dao Emperors in all the heavens and myriad realms. In other words, most Great Dao Emperors can only adapt to this move and go along with it, otherwise they will only face death.

Clearly, the reason why Wuye didn't attack earlier was because of certain rules that maintained the existence of the puppet doll's ability. Such a powerful ability would be too unfair if he could do other things while using it.

The key to breaking the puppet doll lies in responding and not responding. You can't just go along with it, and you can't go against it either. If you go along with it, and Yi Shuihan gives blood when he asks for it, then the cause and effect between the two will become deeper and deeper. In the end, when the cause and effect reach a certain point, Yi Shuihan will be finished.

Not giving it is not an option either. If you don't give it milk at the beginning, Yi Shuihan will be judged to have taken a hit. This hit is equivalent to Wu Ye's attack without holding back, and Yi Shuihan will not be able to defend against it.

“Infants need the protection of adults, and the milk they ask for is a necessity for their growth, so it needs to be given. Young people no longer need protection, and asking for blood is a form of greed, equivalent to sucking blood and sponging off their parents. Such behavior should not be encouraged.”

If you think about it this way, this puppet doll trick is actually easy to deal with. It's just that they are all experts at the Great Dao Emperor level, so who would think about these things at this time?

"I wanted to make your death easier, but since you don't appreciate it, then let it end with your wailing!"

Wu Ye said coldly, and at the same time, he suddenly waved his hand.

A beam of black light cleaved through the void, instantly reaching Yi Shuihan, its deep malice making one want to vomit.

"You absolutely have to get away from it."

Did he dodge it? No, by the time Yi Shuihan realized it, he had already been swallowed by the black light.

What kind of feeling was that? Dim, desolate, everything was dissipating, as if one had attained enlightenment, utterly tasteless.

If that's the case, it has nothing to do with the wailing Wu Ye mentioned. Just when he was completely bored and even forgot about his situation, countless faces suddenly appeared around him, some human and some other creatures.

Countless faces surrounded Yi Shuihan, then let out wails. The wails were extremely unpleasant and piercing, pulling Yi Shuihan out of his listless state and giving him a splitting headache. He had an urge to crack open his own head.

The headache here refers not only to the physical body, but to a deeper level of the soul, as can be seen from the fact that Yi Shuihan still felt headaches even after his hearing was damaged.

"A wailing abyss? Five Leaves, don't you think that's a bit much?"

The Emperor of Judgment appeared at the scene at some unknown time and shattered the black light that enveloped Yi Shuihan with a single palm strike.

"Mind your own business. You should mind your own business! I might as well destroy you too."

He then attacked again, engaging in battle with the Judgment Emperor.

Yi Shuihan was rescued, but he had not yet recovered from that state. In addition, the trial did not have time to take care of him. He was caught in the aftershock and was directly blasted far away, his fate unknown.

"How can I wake up?"

His body and even his soul were in a special state, on the verge of life and death. Although Yi Shuihan could still think, he could not perceive his own body, nor could he use any other power. In this state, he could only wait for himself to repair himself until he could use his power again.

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan currently lacks the ability to self-repair. He is now in this high-end battlefield at the level of a Great Dao Emperor, and could be accidentally or intentionally hit by an attack from some powerful figure at any time, at which point he would be finished.

"At this point, maybe it would be faster for me to just die and wait to be resurrected!"

After making a self-deprecating remark, Yi Shuihan began to call upon the system. Although the system had never disappointed him, he couldn't guarantee that he could still communicate with it in his current state.

"Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, are you there?"

"..."

"Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit!..."

After repeatedly calling the system's name without receiving a response, just when Yi Shuihan was about to give up, a turning point appeared.

"Su... Su... Master..."

The system's sound was intermittent and very faint; it was almost inaudible unless you listened carefully.

Since we can hear each other, it means we can communicate; everything else is just something to make do with.

So Yi Shuihan began a conversation that lasted for several minutes, just to clarify that one sentence.

The system used a drop of life-giving fluid to revive him.

The system depends on Yi Shuihan for its existence, and Yi Shuihan's current state also affects the system's capabilities, but it can still retrieve one item.

A few minutes later

"Phew, I'm back to life! I really thought I was just waiting to die!"

Feeling refreshed and in good health, Yi Shuihan was in a good mood. However, this feeling of comfort was short-lived. Upon seeing Wu Ye, he was filled with anger. It was the first time he had been made to look so pathetic, and he loathed the feeling of helplessness.

If he had the power, Yi Shuihan would want to show Wuye why the flowers are so red right now. But since he doesn't have that power for the time being, Yi Shuihan can only curse in his heart to satisfy his urge.

"I really can't play a significant role."

Meeting Wuye made Yi Shuihan realize this, and he no longer harbored any illusions.

Chapter 1481, Tall and Short Demons

He lacks sufficient strength, but Yi Shuihan cannot significantly enhance his abilities in a short period. To participate in this great battle, he must become a Great Dao Emperor to play a significant role.

Unfortunately, there is clearly no extra time for Yi Shuihan to become stronger. If he cultivates step by step, the great war will probably be over long ago, and it is questionable whether the myriad worlds will still exist.

"Hmm? No, that's not right. The myriad worlds will definitely still exist. Those beings haven't even made a move. This seemingly grand war, which could potentially destroy all worlds, is probably just child's play for those beings!"

Suddenly remembering Zhi, who was above the Great Dao Emperor, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. Even if he became a Great Dao Emperor, he only had some confidence in dominating the Great Dao Emperor realm. Compared to Zhi, they were worlds apart.

"Are we really just going to stand here and watch? Or should we go in and kill a few Great Dao Emperor-level demons, even if it means paying with our own lives?"

Feeling confused, Yi Shuihan was unable to make a decision for the time being.

"Host, please focus on watching the battle!"

"Ok?"

The system's words startled Yi Shuihan slightly, as he didn't understand why the system wanted him to focus on watching the battle.

"Watching a battle of this caliber helps the system analyze the strength of a Great Dao Emperor."

The meaning of these words made Yi Shuihan's eyes light up immediately.

"Last time we had to get involved ourselves, but this time we can just watch, right?"

"Not bad. Compared to last time, the system's capabilities have improved. It can analyze data without the host actively participating. Of course, the analysis will proceed faster if the host actively participates."

Slow down is fine, as long as it works. Yi Shuihan immediately followed the system's instructions and focused most of his energy on the battle against the Great Dao Emperors.

Although Yi Shuihan possesses the strength of a Great Dao Emperor and has fought against Great Dao Emperor demons several times, he knows very little about the battles of Great Dao Emperors. He only knows about the battle between his master and the demons that he watched carefully last time, and the battle of Great Dao Emperors that he saw at headquarters.

Seeing so many Great Dao Emperors displaying their abilities, manifesting the Great Dao, and using the power of the Dao River to fight their enemies has greatly benefited Yi Shuihan. Many things that he couldn't understand before are now clear to him, and the use of certain powers has broadened his horizons.

"Hmm, this application of the Five Elements, with its mutual generation and restraint, and mutual generation and restraint, forms a balanced cycle. As long as the cycle is not broken, one will be invincible. Good idea."

"The path of curses is indeed strange and difficult to guard against. When encountering such an enemy, it is best not to give it a chance to make a move."

"Is that the Great Dao of Destiny? How vast and magnificent it is! Just looking at it is enough to make one intoxicated and unable to extricate oneself. It's terrifying."

"Huh, this is interesting. The Great Dao of Games, huh? The battle between the Great Dao Emperors is actually playing cards. How interesting. The way those demons play their cards so seriously is really unbearable to watch!"

As Yi Shuihan continued to watch, his horizons broadened, and his understanding of the Great Dao Emperor increased. The system's power also continued to grow. Although it could not help Yi Shuihan for the time being, the potential benefits were immense.

Trouble soon came knocking, forcing Yi Shuihan to stop watching the battle.

"Ordinary Great Dao Emperor-level demons? You two are manageable."

Looking at the two demons, one tall and one short, appearing before him, Yi Shuihan had no intention of retreating. After watching for so long, his fighting spirit had been ignited, and he couldn't wait to have a proper battle. Although his chances of winning against two opponents were slim, that was not a reason for him to back down.

"By order of Lord Five Leaves, you are doomed to die today."

"You should feel honored that we two have to step in to help with just one quest."

Enough with the nonsense. If you can just take action, why talk back?

Yi Shuihan moved, unleashing his full power. In a flash, the power of Hongmeng arrived in front of the short demon.

"Time Wave Fist"

boom

The short demon was knocked back by a punch, and the tall demon next to him suddenly lunged at Yi Shuihan, but Yi Shuihan used his hand to support the tall demon's chin and then delivered a rising dragon punch, sending the tall demon flying backward.

Before Yi Shuihan could continue the pursuit, the short demon's body suddenly dispersed, transforming into hundreds of smaller demons that roared towards Yi Shuihan.

"bang bang bang"

"Boom boom boom"

The massive explosions continued to unfold, with these small demons exploding like self-destructing bees. Some of the explosions created a special sonic wave that made Yi Shuihan's primordial power extremely volatile, almost to the point of being uncontrollable. Others, however, produced toxins after their explosions, relentlessly pursuing him like maggots clinging to his bones.

Both the toxins and the special sound waves were giving Yi Shuihan a terrible headache, leaving him feeling overwhelmed and unable to take care of himself.

Even if the short demon is troublesome, Yi Shuihan can slowly figure out a solution and there won't be any problems in the short term. However, the tall demon has no intention of just watching from the sidelines.

"Shadow Strike"

The tall demon transformed into countless shadows, scattering and merging into the void. Then, in the next moment, it appeared on the body of a smaller demon, spreading out and attacking Yi Shuihan with the power of the explosion, giving him no chance to react.

Dealing with the minor demons was already difficult, and the arrival of these shadows made things even more difficult. He could only barely destroy some of the shadows, while many more managed to make contact with Yi Shuihan's body.

Even the power of the Primordial Chaos couldn't stop the shadows. Those shadows passed through the power of the Primordial Chaos and reached Yi Shuihan, forming black shadows that wandered around Yi Shuihan, looking sinister and terrifying.

Eventually, all the shadows converged at Yi Shuihan's feet, slowly forming a shadow.

"What a powerful shadow! Let me unleash you!"

"O being that exists in the shadows! Slay your light and darkness, join us, and fall into eternal darkness!"

"What the hell!"

As the figure gradually coalesced in front of him, Yi Shuihan had a string of curses to say. At this moment, he had already guessed what was going to happen next, and that was why he wanted to burst out cursing.

Compared to the attack methods of the short demon, the tall demon was even more annoying to Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 1482, The Dark Side

The figure that appeared in front of Yi Shuihan was so familiar, almost identical to Yi Shuihan, like a twin. The only difference was that the other person was much darker-skinned than Yi Shuihan.

The thing created by the tall demon is Yi Shuihan's dark side, or you could say Yi Shuihan's shadow.

Light and shadow coexist; where there is light, there will be shadow. From a scientific point of view, shadow is just a special phenomenon formed by light and is nothing special. However, here it is completely different.

Unlike the normal world, when the normal world was born, a world called the Shadow Realm was also born, where the shadows of all things live.

Apart from the Shadow Clan, who are very special and have merged with their own shadows to walk in the Shadow Realm, most other beings in the myriad realms generally cannot come into contact with their own shadows. Even if they occasionally master a secret technique that uses shadows to attack, they can at most borrow some power from the Shadow Realm and never actually see their own shadows.

The shadows, also known as the dark side, live in the dark realm of shadows, while those who can move freely in the normal world are the light side.

The light side is above the dark side because it can freely decide what it does, while the dark side can only obey. It's like the relationship between a master and a mount. To be honest, this is very unfair to the dark side because they have no control over anything and can only silently watch the actions of the light side from the shadows forever.

Of course, when the dark side doesn't appear in the normal world, it has no thoughts and doesn't feel anything is wrong, just like a pure soul that has nothing. But once it appears in the normal world, it means that it has begun to think about its own existence.

"Oh, the bright side!"

Yi Shuihan's dark side greeted him with a smile, his eyes burning with ambition.

It was only their first time meeting face to face, yet they knew each other so well that a single glance was enough for them to understand each other's meaning.

The dark side wants to make a comeback! There's no doubt that it wants to become the light side of darkness; if it can become light, it won't choose to become shadow.

"Can we make a deal? Let's not fight amongst ourselves for now. I'll release you later if necessary."

Yi Shuihan said with a wry smile, to be honest, he really didn't want to fight his dark side. Winning would bring no benefit, and losing would only bring harm.

Ordinary people cannot unleash their dark side, and even if they had the opportunity, they would not, because the risk would be too great, and they could be overthrown at any time. However, Yi Shuihan did not care, because of the system. Although the dark side was also him, it was still not the system's master. He had already confirmed this when the dark side appeared.

With the system in place, Yi Shuihan wasn't worried at all about the dark side being able to make a comeback.

Yi Shuihan's words sparked a glimmer of light in his darker side, but he then shook his head and said, "I refuse."

"Time Wave"

"Time Wave"

The same trick, like mirroring, is the first collision between light and darkness.

"What happened? How could you possibly win?"

The tall demon's voice emanated from the Dark Side, which had been forced to retreat. The voice was filled with astonishment. In his understanding, the Dark Side and the Light Side were identical in every way, with the only difference being their will. At this moment, Yi Shuihan's Dark Side was empowered by his possession, making it even stronger. It should have been able to easily defeat Yi Shuihan, but the result was completely different.

The tall demon, of course, would not know that Yi Shuihan's strength was not entirely his own. His strength consisted of three parts: the power of his personal world, from which the power of Hongmeng originated; the second part was the enhancement of the system's power; and the last part was his own power, of which the dark side merely inherited his own power.
