Multiverse Skill System

Page 403

A bad premonition arose, and then Yi Shuihan discovered that the Ancestor of Humanity had something very familiar to him in his hand: the soul of a phoenix, or more precisely, several hundred strands of its soul.

The Ancestor chanted incantations, and then the souls in his hands burst into flames.

"not good."

Yi Shuihan could sense that the aura of the Broken Ancestor behind him was beginning to become disordered.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Yi Shuihan understood that he would probably have to hold on for a while longer.

Logically speaking, Yi Shuihan had already fulfilled his promise of 100 breaths to Po Zu, and could have simply left. However, since he had chosen to help, he would never give up unless absolutely necessary.

"Holy Spirit, select the most suitable skills to deal with the current situation."

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan still had the system to rely on, so he was not in a desperate situation. At most, the loss of cultivation points would make him feel a little heartache.

"The Golden Skill, Godfall Strike, exhausts all energy to unleash an astonishing attack. With the host's current immortal energy, it can unleash an attack ten thousand times stronger than before, enough to annihilate a human ancestor. It requires 2 cultivation points."

"Golden Skill Restoration: Unconditionally restores you to your peak condition. Can only be used once a day and costs 1 cultivation points."

"Golden Skill: Devouring Heaven and Earth..."

With dozens of options laid out before Yi Shuihan, the system's effectiveness was undeniable.

"Restoration requires the fewest cultivation points, but it's not safe. Forget it, I'll just use the Godfall Strike. 2 cultivation points to buy a saint's life is worth it."

From seeking help from the Yi Shui Han system to receiving a solution from the system, and finally making a choice, everything seems slow, but in reality, it only takes a single breath.

Having exchanged for a chance to use the Fallen God Strike, Yi Shuihan was brimming with confidence, but to the Ancestor of Humanity, it was utterly baffling.

The progenitor of mankind had no idea what he was about to experience.

A dazzling light, like the first light of the universe, seemed to contain all the truths, the beginning and the end of everything. It began here and it will end here.

Before he could even react to what was happening, the Ancestor of Humanity saw Yi Shuihan inexplicably fall down.

"Did they exhaust themselves because of despair?"

The Ancestor of Man had just conceived this idea and was about to deliver the final blow to Yi Shuihan, but the moment the thought of raising his hand arose, his consciousness was plunged into eternal darkness, and his body silently turned into nothingness.

The death of the Ancestor of Humanity caused the world to mourn. The sky over the entire Tianyuan Realm turned blood red, and blood rain began to fall. Everyone felt inexplicably grief, as if their closest loved one had died.

Even a demon who had long since extinguished his emotions experienced sadness anew this time.

"This is......"

"The fall of the ancestral line?"

"Who, which great one has died?"

Chapter 1015, Goodbye Murphy

The fall of a powerful Ancestral Realm expert is a first in the Tianyuan Realm. People have never experienced blood rain falling from the sky or inexplicable sorrow before.

The strange phenomenon lasted for several minutes, after which the world returned to normal. For ordinary people, they went about their business as usual, while those at the World Realm level were frantically speculating about which one had fallen. The fall of an Ancestral Realm expert would have a significant impact on the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the world).

However, all of this is temporarily irrelevant to Yi Shuihan. Having unleashed the Godfall Strike, Yi Shuihan has suffered a great loss, and even with a world as his backing, he cannot fully recover in a short time.

Without the interference of the Ancestor of Humanity, Po Zu successfully advanced to the World Realm, and everything will return to normal.

"You actually killed the ancestor of mankind."

Po Zu's tone was very strange. Yi Shuihan's strength was far beyond his expectations, and he was also very glad that he had encountered this incredible existence.

Previously, Po Zu treated Yi Shuihan as an equal, and even placed himself in the position of a senior to some extent. Now, however, he was vaguely afraid of Yi Shuihan and spoke cautiously.

Yi Shuihan knew this was due to the change in strength. Yi Shuihan, who was capable of killing the Ancestor of Humanity, was also capable of killing him. Therefore, the Ancestor of Breaking the Ancestor's attitude towards Yi Shuihan naturally changed.

"I didn't expect the Ancestor of Humanity to be so weak."

Yi Shuihan said in a cool tone.

"The Ancestor of Humanity! Was he weak?"

Po Zu remained silent.

Because Yi Shuihan was not in good condition, Po Zu told Yi Shuihan to rest where he was, while he went to find the other three injured divine beasts.

Yi Shuihan recovered peacefully, but not long after, he felt a huge sense of rejection, as if the whole world was hostile to him.

"What's going on? Is it because I killed the Ancestor of Humanity?"

The feeling of rejection grew stronger, and Yi Shuihan's sense of crisis intensified; she didn't know what would happen next.

"It seems I can't stay in this world any longer."

Without hesitation, Yi Shuihan didn't even wait for Po Zu to return to say goodbye. He immediately called on the system and began to travel through time. However, this time he didn't go to a new world, but chose to return to the world where the company had a branch.

......

"It looks familiar!"

Looking around, Yi Shuihan smiled. Although the surrounding environment had changed considerably, he still recognized that this was the place where he had first arrived in this world.

He was quite apprehensive when he came to this world last time, as his strength was not considered high at the time, and there were many beings stronger than him. But this time, he has already stood at the pinnacle of this world.

Yi Shuihan could sense that the limit of power this world could contain was only the Great Luo level, and he was already considered to be above the norm.

Instead of going to Murphy first, he found a place to recover from his previous exhaustion.

"It actually took a whole week. The aftereffects of the Godfall Strike are no ordinary one. I only recovered because of the support of my personal world. Otherwise, it would probably have taken decades to recover."

Even with such significant aftereffects, the power of the Fallen God Strike is undeniable. It only weakens one for a few decades. If one could possess the power to kill a Saint while being a Quasi-Saint, people would probably be scrambling to cultivate the Fallen God Strike even if one were weakened for ten thousand years.

Several hundred years have passed, but not much has been left in this world. Yi Shuihan inquired a little and found that nothing major had happened in the world. The biggest thing was that a god had fallen.

Upon arriving at the Multiverse Business Alliance, Yi Shuihan found Elder Yan Huo, the teleportation elder. Without alerting him, he secretly activated the teleportation array and arrived at Murphy's office.

This was the third time he had come to the room that had changed his fate. Compared to the previous two times, Yi Shuihan was much calmer this time. He had been very nervous the previous two times he came here.

Murphy was still the same as before. Yi Shuihan saw through his strength just the same. According to the official evaluation of the system, he had just stepped into the gold level, belonging to the gold one-star level. Yi Shuihan could kill him with one hand now.

Murphy was completely unaware of Yi Shuihan's arrival and continued doing what he was doing.

"Mmm, ah..."

A voice that sounded very familiar to Yi Shuihan came over, making him pause for a moment. He then looked at Murphy with a wry smile, realizing that Murphy was actually watching a movie.

Given Murphy's power and status, let alone watching porn, he could easily have girls hold an uncensored party here. Compared to that, watching porn is undoubtedly much lower-class and shouldn't happen to him.

"Cough cough."

Walking behind Murphy, Yi Shuihan coughed to remind Murphy of his arrival.

Murphy's expression changed, and he quickly turned off the device, which resembled an iPad, and sat up straight.

"It's you!"

Upon seeing that it was Yi Shuihan, Murphy visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Who were you just now?

"What do you mean 'just now'? I didn't do anything just now. Oh right, I was just studying the new development plan that the company sent over last time."

He spoke with such seriousness that it actually sounded like the truth.

"By the way, you're back this time to say that your system has become the official version?"

With excitement in his eyes, Murphy seemed very happy.

A probe of Murphy's power acted on Yi Shuihan. With a thought, Yi Shuihan concealed most of his power, retaining only the strength of a Silver 7-star.

"Silver Seven Star, you're quite something, kid. You've already made such great progress in such a short time. It won't be long before you reach my level. As expected of a system experimenter, your strength increases so quickly."

Murphy looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise. Yi Shuihan's progress was among the best in the company's system experimenters.

"The system has indeed become the official version. Does that mean I'm now a full-fledged employee of the company?"

"Of course, as long as I report to headquarters, your matter can be settled. Come with me to do a test first, then I will submit the report to headquarters, and then you can wait for the reward!"

Afterwards, Murphy inquired about Yi Shuihan's past experiences and used special methods to investigate Yi Shuihan's system. Most of what he obtained was what Yi Shuihan wanted him to know.

Chapter 1016, Selling System

Originally, Yi Shuihan thought he was going to experience some kind of conspiracy, but he found that he might have been overthinking things, or rather, that he was not yet worthy of intervention from above.

After Murphy reported Yi Shuihan's case, the case assignment for Yi Shuihan was quickly issued.

Yi Shuihan has officially become a member of the company. The company gave Yi Shuihan two choices: one is to continue in the system experiment department, with a promotion to the supervisor level, and he can recruit system experimenters to work. Whenever one of his experimenters successfully tests a system, he will receive a certain reward; the other is to establish a branch in another world to sell the system and receive corresponding rewards based on the sales revenue.

"Brother, now that we're practically family, I'll be frank with you. Between these two options, I suggest you choose the first one: continue working in the system experiment department. Although the success rate for system experimenters isn't very high, you can still get one or two successful every ten thousand years. And the rewards for even one successful experiment are enormous. Like me, because of you, I've earned enough to cultivate to Silver 9 stars."

"If you choose the second option, you'll usually be sent to develop a new, advanced world. Nobody knows what that world is like. If you're lucky, the system will sell well, and you'll find the right people, so you'll earn more than with the first option. But if you're unlucky, you might lose money, or even risk your life."

"I can understand the danger to life, but how come selling the system would result in a loss?"

"The company has targets. If you don't reach the corresponding turnover within the specified time, it will be deducted from your salary. You're okay now, just at the silver level. If you reach the gold level, without the company's support, it will be too difficult to make progress on your own. In addition, our company also has a system of elimination. If you don't generate profit for your salary for a long time, you will be fired."

Murphy kept telling Yi Shuihan the benefits of choosing to stay in the system experiment department, and Yi Shuihan could tell that most of what he said was true.

"I choose to go to the sales system."

In the end, Yi Shuihan did not choose to stay. In fact, he never intended to rely on the company to improve his strength. Yi Shuihan's strength was far beyond the Silver 7-star level that Murphy knew. If Murphy had chosen the first option, it would probably have taken a million years to advance to the next level.

From Murphy, Yi Shuihan had basically learned about the company's structure, which consisted of thousands of departments, the most important of which were the System R&D Department, the System Experimentation Department, and the System Sales Department.

The company's internal hierarchy is divided into ordinary staff, supervisors, deputy department heads, department heads, then company directors, and finally, the top-level executives.

Murphy is at the level of deputy department head, while Yi Shuihan is currently at the supervisor level.

According to Murphy, the minimum requirement for a deputy department head is a cultivation level of Gold 1 Star, while the head of a department is Gold 4 Star, and a director is Gold 7 Star or higher. The top-level executive, who is the current boss of the company, is said to be a Gold 9 Star, the highest level existence, and is the guarantee for the company to stand firm in all the worlds.

There are at least tens of thousands of department heads like Murphy in the company, which shows how powerful the company is.

"There are only 6 saints in a primordial world, and 7 including Hongjun. The company has at least 1000 to 1000 primordial worlds of powerful beings. No wonder it can become a behemoth in the myriad worlds."

......

"Is this the world I'll be working in for the next 100,000 years?"

Having chosen to sell the system, the company arranged for Yi Shuihan to be placed in a world. Regardless of how well the sales went, he would have to wait 100,000 years before he could choose to leave that world.

Company executives need the Time Stone to travel to different worlds, so without the company's help, executives generally cannot go to other worlds.

After all, the minimum standard for traversing the world is the Great Luo, which is the Gold level. Only with this level of attainment can one survive in the Chaos. However, even for a stronger Saint, it would generally take more than hundreds of thousands of years to find a new world through the Chaos.

If they were unaware of the existence of the myriad worlds, saints would generally not spend hundreds of thousands of years searching for new worlds in the chaos. They would choose to stay in the world where they were born, as most saints can only unleash their strongest power in their original world.

"If I'm not mistaken, this world seems to be the primordial world, between the time when Hongjun had become a saint and the time between his second and third sermons, before the human race had even appeared."

Above Yi Shuihan, the Eye of Heaven appeared, staring straight at him, simply because he had slightly used the power of a Quasi-Saint, thus disturbing it.

A message appeared in Yi Shuihan's mind, letting him know why Heaven had sought him out.

The Heavenly Dao allowed him to choose whether or not to become a member of the Primordial World. Once he became a member, the Heavenly Dao would treat him equally, and he would be subject to the Heavenly Dao's control and abide by the rules of this world.

The second option is not to become a member of the Primordial World. In that case, Yi Shuihan would not gain merit by doing good deeds, but would be punished if he did bad deeds. Moreover, once he unleashed power above the Daluo level, he would be punished by the Heavenly Dao, which would suppress his power.

It seems that choosing to become a member of the Primordial World is the right choice, as the treatment would be far better than not becoming a member. However, Yi Shuihan ultimately chose the latter.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If I choose to become a member of the Primordial World, I'll be bound to its karma. If the Primordial World is in trouble and I don't help, it will hinder my continued cultivation."

Yi Shuihan also understood the principle of equivalent exchange; there is no love or hate in the world without a reason.

After Yi Shuihan made his choice, Heaven did not do anything to him. However, Yi Shuihan could sense that Heaven was watching him. If he did something against the rules, Heaven would definitely jump out to cause him trouble immediately.

Selling Systems in the Primordial Era

Chapter 1017 Encountering a Primordial Grand Array

"If it were a normal company manager, it would be extremely difficult to make a name for himself in this world. There are too many powerful figures in this world, and the system is too magical. Even if you are not a Da Luo, being targeted by a powerful figure means almost certain death."

The principle that the strong rule is universal in any world.

Anyone who knows about systems will be curious about them, and when they discover that someone who is not even a great immortal possesses a system, their first reaction should be to capture him and study him.

Even a big boss like Hongjun would be interested in the system.

The supervisor level is further subdivided into several sub-levels. Junior supervisors can generally only sell systems that can only help their owners grow to the Silver level. Intermediate supervisors can sell systems that can help their owners grow to the Gold level. Senior supervisors can sell the most advanced systems. However, even the most advanced systems can only help their owners achieve the Gold 5-star level at most.

Gold 5-star is equivalent to the Saint level, but it's not the initial stage. Previously, Yi Shuihan relied on his own estimation of his strength, but now that he has officially become a company employee, he has gained a more accurate understanding of his realm.

Taking the immortal cultivation system as an example, a Great Luo Golden Immortal corresponds to Gold 1 star, a Quasi-Saint corresponds to 2 to 3 stars, and a Saint corresponds to 4 to 6 stars.

The names of realms above the sage are universal across all systems: Chaos Emperor, Great Dao Emperor, and the ultimate supreme being.

The Chaos Emperor corresponds to 7 stars, the Great Dao Emperor corresponds to 8 stars, and the Supreme Being corresponds to the final golden 9 stars.

According to the company's information, there are only a few hundred Chaos Emperors in the myriad realms, only a few hundred Great Dao Emperors, and only five supreme beings.
