Yi Shuihan neither denied nor denied Diana's suggestion, which was considered an admission. He knew that only a few heroes could actually join the Justice League, maybe a dozen or so at most, and a dozen or so pieces of equipment wouldn't take him much effort.
Besides, giving these people magical equipment is a way of befriending them, so it won't be too difficult to ask for their help if anything happens in the future.
"We can learn from the Hunter Guild in the Hunter x Hunter world, where you can become a member of the Justice League, have a Justice Card, various benefits, and even teach ordinary people some training methods so that their friends and family can also become stronger. Many heroes' power is not obtained through their own training, but rather through bloodlines, accidents, and the like."
Another idea popped into my head.
Chapter 678, The First Gathering of Justice
If the Justice Card could actually be realized in this world, then one thing is certain: there would be a huge number of people who would want to join the Justice League.
"It seems that only if several of the world's top powers unite can this justice card be realized."
This is definitely not a small project. You have to understand that the world is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Getting the world to acknowledge the existence of the Justice Card is as difficult as establishing an independent kingdom.
In modern society, while privileged individuals still exist, they have undoubtedly become much more low-key. Ordinary people cannot even come into contact with that circle. On the surface, everyone is equal. However, if justice is involved, it will undoubtedly intensify conflicts and cause unpredictable changes. Of course, these difficulties are still easy for Yi Shuihan and his group to resolve.
Once people realize the crisis facing Earth and the power gap between themselves and others, they won't have any objections to Justice League members possessing Justice Cards.
Think about it carefully. As the current god among men, even without the Justice Card, as long as Superman reveals his identity, wouldn't his influence be less than that of the Justice Card?
With that in mind, it's not so hard to accept.
Yi Shuihan stayed at Bruce's manor for a long time, until after dark, before using Apparition to return home.
Caitlin and the others were well aware of what Yi Shuihan had gone out to do today—a major event to save the world—so his late return didn't seem out of the ordinary.
Caitlin, who had already subtly established a relationship with Yi Shuihan, stayed at Yi Shuihan's villa and offered him warmth when he returned.
He had already eaten at Bruce's house, so when he came back, he could only pretend he hadn't eaten there and have another meal.
Well, actually, Yi Shuihan is already capable of fasting, so it doesn't matter whether he eats or not. He can go for many years without eating or drinking, and he can also eat a shocking amount at once. The food he eats is instantly converted into energy, so he doesn't have to worry about overeating.
During the meal, Yi Shuihan told Caitlin about what had happened at Bruce Manor, which made Caitlin frequently show her admiration for him. Developing heroism into a profession was such a big idea proposed by Yi Shuihan. If it were to be accomplished, how great would Yi Shuihan's contribution to humanity be? It would be unimaginable.
In the future, countless people who have no other skills besides strength will thank Yi Shuihan, for it was Yi Shuihan who gave them the opportunity to start anew, instead of being forced to turn to evil ways out of necessity.
Before becoming bad people, they actually wanted to be good people, but they just didn't have the opportunity. Truly born evil people are very rare.
Given the chance to become a hero, who would want to be a criminal who lives in the shadows?
On the fifth day after Doomsday, Diana arrived in Central City, found Yi Shuihan, and invited him to attend the first founding ceremony of the Justice League.
She has been running around these past few days, and she has put in a lot of effort for the Justice League.
Not only that, Diana also brought good news to Yi Shuihan: her hometown, Paradise Island, had agreed to provide shelter for members of the Justice League in the future. If necessary, the Justice League members' relatives and friends could be brought to Paradise Island. Since Yi Shuihan was already famous on Paradise Island, he would have no trouble going there.
The people of Paradise Island are stronger than ordinary people and are also formidable warriors in the universe. With their support, the Justice League can be said to be full of confidence.
When Yi Shuihan went to the Justice League convention, he also invited The Flash, Barry. Such a free laborer would be a loss for the Justice League if he didn't join.
In the end, even Caitlin went along. She didn't care much about being a hero, but she wasn't against becoming a member of the Justice League and fighting against alien invasion. After all, alien invasion of Earth was a matter for the entire planet, and she couldn't stand idly by.
Wells and Cisco also wanted to go, but Yi Shuihan didn't let them go in the end because their strength was not up to par. Although Barry was not as good as Cisco in a head-on fight, he was fast and could even travel through time later on.
Speaking of time travel, Yi Shuihan still feels that this world is very chaotic, because you never know what will happen next. No matter how powerful you are, if I can't beat you, I will go back and eliminate you when you are still weak. Are you scared?
I can't kill you, but I killed your grandfather so you could never be born. It's completely unreasonable.
Countless parallel universes exist, and the changes are so drastic that one's existence can be erased at any time due to inexplicable events.
Yi Shuihan was very glad that he was not from this world. There was only one him in this world, and there was definitely no one like him in other parallel universes. In this way, he would have fewer things to guard against. Killing his ancestors to kill him would definitely not work. To kill him, one would have to face his strength when he first came to this world.
Of course, parallel universes are not omnipotent. Some special beings transcend all parallel universes, such as the God of this world.
……
The Justice League held its first gathering, with a total of nine members in attendance. Besides Yi Shuihan and his group, Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Green Lantern were also present.
Aquaman and Cyborg were recruited by Diana, while Green Lantern was recruited by Bruce.
First, everyone introduced themselves and demonstrated their abilities. No one who could come here was an ordinary person. Batman's physical abilities are still human, but his wisdom and character are enough to earn everyone's respect.
Barry was extremely excited to see Batman and Superman, behaving as if he were paying homage to his seniors.
Batman carefully explained his plans for forming the League of Legends and the Justice League, which he had been thinking about for the past few days, to everyone. He explained everything until anyone had a clear understanding.
As expected of a tycoon who controls a large corporation, he not only runs his company thriving, but also has the time and energy to fight against criminals. Now, in just a few days, he has turned Yi Shuihan's idea into a detailed plan.
Chapter 679, The Mysterious Method of Becoming a Master
The group spent a full week discussing the Justice League and the League of Legends before finalizing everything and assigning their respective tasks.
If it were just the Justice League from the original comics, there would be absolutely no need for this much trouble, because what is called an alliance is actually just a small team of heroes. But the alliance that needs to be formed now is completely different. It involves all aspects and cannot be managed by just a few people, or even dozens or hundreds of people.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long. We cannot give up just because of the difficulties; we can only grit our teeth and forge ahead.
Yi Shuihan was assigned a task to go to the East, to his homeland in this world, to contact mysterious cultivators.
To be honest, Yi Shuihan was a bit confused when he received this mission, since he didn't actually know if cultivators existed in this world.
His first thought was to refuse, but the other tasks involved either contacting leaders of various countries for negotiations or building up the League of Legends, gathering manpower, and formulating detailed rules, all of which were troublesome matters.
With the idea that he would go to the East to find cultivators if he could, and treat it as a trip if he couldn't, Yi Shuihan accepted this mission.
Before embarking on the mission, Yi Shuihan accompanied Diana back to Paradise Island, where he obtained some treasures that might be useful to him, as well as some news that piqued his interest.
The Amazons certainly have a lot of good stuff, but most of it is useless to a powerful person like Yi Shuihan. After some selection, Yi Shuihan used some magical items that he couldn't use to exchange for three things.
A spear, a gem, and a handful of mud.
The spear is said to be a divine weapon, kept in a treasure vault where no one can use it. However, according to the records of the Amazons, it possesses extremely powerful strength and has a history of killing demons. Although its glory may have faded, they firmly believe that one day it will shine again. The Amazons call it the Demon-Slaying Spear.
The gemstone was a mysterious gem whose origins were unknown even to the Amazons. It had been quietly residing in the treasure vault without any unusual occurrences until Yi Shuihan appeared. At that moment, it immediately shone with astonishing brilliance, which undoubtedly indicated that it was connected to Yi Shuihan, or that some power within Yi Shuihan resonated with it.
Based on this resonance alone, Yi Shuihan was determined to take it under his wing. He had a feeling that if he could uncover the secrets of the gemstone, his strength would definitely increase significantly.
The last handful of clay was naturally the same clay used to create Diana. Legend has it that Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, sculpted a baby girl from clay at the guidance of the gods, and the gods then gave the baby girl life, which is the origin of Diana.
This handful of mud was what was left over from the original use, and it could be said to contain all sorts of wonders. Yi Shuihan even speculated that it might be similar to the "breath soil" in the primordial myths, an important item used by Nuwa to create the first batch of humans.
Upon arriving at Paradise Island, Yi Shuihan naturally inquired about the gods, but unfortunately, they were vague and evasive, revealing their deep reverence for them.
It is said that after Diana was born, the gods gradually stopped appearing, as if they had forgotten Paradise Island. However, the people of Paradise Island do not think so, because the existence of Paradise Island itself is proof that the gods have not abandoned them. After all, the gods are indestructible and their lives are endless, so it is normal for them to disappear for hundreds of years.
Among the Amazons, Yi Shuihan found some fragments describing the gods of this world and obtained a secret method for becoming a god from ancient times. It recorded how humans could become gods, but no one could understand the text.
It can be said that this mysterious method is the real great gain. The Amazons couldn't understand it, but Yi Shuihan could. The power of his language skills far exceeded his imagination. However, even though it was only a bronze skill, its effect was beyond its level, allowing Yi Shuihan to directly understand the meaning.
"Interesting. This method of becoming a god is called a method of becoming a god, but it can actually be seen as a method of stealing the origin of the world."
The multiverse of the DC universe is actually created by the supreme god God, whose power is beyond doubt. Other gods in the DC universe are new gods below God, the most direct being the next level below God, the supreme being of power. As God's representative, they can be said to play a role similar to the Heavenly Dao Saints of the primordial world.
These representatives of divine power are actually the gods mentioned in the mystical arts of becoming gods. The method of becoming a god that Yi Shuihan obtained is a record of how to steal their power and become the next level of god.
Gods who are created in this way possess all their power within the multiverse and are inseparable from it. If any such god were to leave, the multiverse would forever lose a portion of its power. Therefore, the multiverse will not allow them to leave. Of course, those who have not reached the level of God cannot resist the entire multiverse.
Yi Shuihan is not a native of this world, and he also possesses a heaven-defying artifact like the system. If planned properly, he could become a god and leave, which is equivalent to stealing the world's origin.
"My current strength is only slightly stronger than yours, Superman. I should be able to handle Diana once the seal is broken. I don't know if she's a match for Darkseid, but she's definitely not a match for God. His power doesn't represent that either. To put it simply, God is definitely a Gold-level powerhouse, and his power might represent that level as well. Besides God, there's another colossal beast here that's no weaker than him, not to mention the most mysterious Watcher."
Assessing his own strength, Yi Shuihan felt increasingly threatened by the dangers of this world. He became interested in the so-called method of becoming a god. Nothing ventured, nothing gained; for the sake of power, he had to take a gamble.
A shocking plan known only to Yi Shuihan gradually took shape, and no one knew what changes it would bring to the DC universe.
Chapter 680, Martial Arts Sects in the Deep Mountains
"Everyone says that cultivators usually live deep in the mountains and forests, but come to think of it, I actually managed to find one?"
A week had passed since Yi Shuihan set foot in this familiar country. At first, he searched for a long time in major cities but could not find the so-called cultivators. In the end, he had no choice but to go to remote places. Unknowingly, he came to the deep mountains and forests and then coincidentally encountered the cultivators.
“Cultivating the Tao, that doesn’t seem like it. Then what is being cultivated?”
Yi Shuihan hid on a rock, looking down at a group of boys and girls around 15 or 6 years old. He sensed a power from them that was not that of ordinary people, but this power was not very strong, not even enough to withstand bullets.
A girl whose looks were among the best of all the boys and girls struck out with her palm at the wooden figure in front of her, leaving a palm print about an inch deep on the figure.
People around immediately gathered around when they saw this, showering him with compliments.
"Senior Sister Fang, your skill level has not broken through to the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, has it? The palm can penetrate an inch of wood, which can only be done at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm."
"As expected of Fang Shijie, a genius that our Pure Yuan Sect has seen only once in a hundred years. He has cultivated from an ordinary person to the fourth level of the Acquired Realm in less than a year. He will surely become a peak Acquired Realm expert or even an Innate Realm expert in the future."
"That's amazing. In our generation, only Senior Brother is stronger than Senior Sister Fang, having reached the fifth level of the Acquired Realm. But Senior Brother has already been cultivating for three years."
Faced with the compliments around her, Fang Qing wore a faint smile. Although she wasn't conceited, she couldn't help but appear quite arrogant.
Fang Qing joined the Chun Yuan Sect before the Lunar New Year. She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman and grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Because she had no worries about making a living and her family was rich, she could have almost anything she wanted. After trying many things that ordinary people could not access at a young age, she became fascinated with outdoor adventure.
A year ago, she came to this remote mountain forest with several bodyguards, planning to have a wilderness survival experience. However, an accident occurred, resulting in the death of all her bodyguards and her own near death at the hands of wolves. In the end, she was rescued by a passing elder from the Chun Yuan Sect by chance.
When that elder killed a giant wolf that was 3 meters tall with a single palm strike, Fang Qing made up her mind to learn that power. After much pleading, she finally became an apprentice and stayed at the Chun Yuan Sect for nearly a year.
Perhaps it was because of her amazing martial arts talent, coupled with her diligent training, that she finally achieved the fourth level of the Acquired Realm yesterday, and today she couldn't help but show it off in front of her many fellow disciples.
"Fourth level of the Acquired Realm? Innate Realm! Could this be an internal energy cultivation technique? Is the Pure Yuan Sect the legendary martial arts sect?"
Hearing the words of the young men and women below, Yi Shuihan was somewhat bewildered.
Once upon a time, Yi Shuihan also wanted to cultivate his internal strength, become a master who could move swiftly and freely, and roam the martial arts world, leaving behind his own legend.
However, he never became a martial arts master. Instead, he embarked on the more prestigious path of cultivating immortality, and has now become an immortal.
"At the fourth level of the Day After Tomorrow realm, this is all the power one can achieve. Even if one reaches the Innate realm, one can probably only withstand a bullet at most. It would be useless against large-scale firearms. No wonder it has never been well-known. To put it nicely, it is because it is indifferent to worldly affairs. To put it bluntly, it is because it is hiding here and dares not go out!"
Yi Shuihan had already scanned the entire Chun Yuan Sect and found that it was a sect with nearly a hundred people. Among them, more than thirty people had energy reactions above Fang Qing's, and the three strongest among them were dozens of times stronger than Fang Qing, who should be the so-called innate level.
Such power is indeed impressive in the eyes of ordinary people. Even the supervillains Batman faces can be considered powerful. However, when it comes to dealing with aliens, they would only be cannon fodder. Superman alone could easily take them all down, and even Cisco might be able to do it.
The Justice League needs high-end combat power; these individuals can at best become ordinary members of the League of Legends.
Is it necessary to contact them?
The answer is no, but considering that they are of the same race, Yi Shuihan still decided to meet them.
"Cough cough!"
He coughed to alert the people below to his arrival, and then, under the surprised gazes of these young men and women, Yi Shuihan gently flew down and came to a place not far from Fang Qing.
"Who are you? What brings you to our Chun Yuan Sect!"
Perhaps it was because Yi Shuihan's appearance was too shocking that these young men and women all seemed very nervous.
It was truly awe-inspiring, because Yi Shuihan flew down from a tree nearly 20 meters tall.
Since they all knew about internal energy cultivation, they assumed that Yi Shuihan was a highly skilled martial artist and made the judgment in their minds that he was at least at the peak of the acquired level.
"Who is he? He's so amazing, and he doesn't look much older than me."
Fang Qing looked at Yi Shuihan with curiosity. She wasn't as surprised by Yi Shuihan's strength as her fellow disciples, because she felt that if she reached Yi Shuihan's age, she would definitely be just as strong, and might even be stronger than Yi Shuihan.
Fang Qing joined the Chun Yuan Sect halfway through her career, so she was different from her fellow disciples. Compared to these people who had lived in seclusion since childhood, she was undoubtedly much more mature, knowledgeable, and bolder.
"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions towards you. I want to see you. Hmm, Sect Leader! You can go and inform them."
Yi Shuihan explained his purpose.
"Liu Wu, go and inform the sect leader."
Fang Qing spoke to a slightly chubby boy with a round face.
"Okay, Senior Sister Fang."
Liu Wu responded, glanced at Yi Shuihan, and jogged away.
Are you from another sect?
Fang Qing couldn't help but ask. She knew from her master that there were not only the Chun Yuan Sect, but also dozens of other sects, large and small. The most powerful sect was said to have beings who had surpassed the Innate Realm.
"no!"
Shaking his head, Yi Shuihan had no interest in fabricating a sect for himself. Seeing Fang Qing's "you're lying" expression, he didn't explain; there was no need.
Chapter 681, Guidance from an Elder
Before long, a group of dozens of people arrived in front of Yi Shuihan. Among them, an old man leading the group, a middle-aged man next to the old man, and a woman with crow's feet on her face caught his attention.
These three people were the strongest that Yi Shuihan sensed, with the leading elder being the strongest among them.
Based on his position, Yi Shuihan knew that the old man was probably the leader of the Chun Yuan Sect.
The group consisted of almost all of the high-ranking members of the Chun Yuan Sect. The reason they came out in full force because of one person was not only because of the situation of Yi Shuihan described by Liu Wu, but also because they had been in seclusion for too long and had not seen outsiders for a long time. Now that someone had finally come, they naturally wanted to see him.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan was wearing a Taoist robe. It was because of this attire that Fang Qing believed that Yi Shuihan was not an outsider, but belonged to a sect. Of course, the initial display of strength was also a factor.
"I am Li Xia, the leader of the Chun Yuan Sect. May I ask where you are, young friend?"
Seeing that Yi Shuihan remained calm despite having so many people on his side, Li Xia secretly admired his composure, but at the same time, he was unsure of Yi Shuihan's background and immediately became polite.
