The blessing process went smoothly, but it was a bit delayed compared to the original Yi Shuihan, because Taiyi had to go through a procedure before using the blessing, which was the consent of the original Yi Shuihan.
"Holy Spirit, do I have to agree to every word before an authorized person can use the power of blessing?"
"This step can be omitted, but in that case you will only get 5% of the effect."
The system answered Yi Shuihan's question, stating that the portable world is like an item, and others who want to use it must obtain the owner's consent, which is a correct logic.
"Half the effect is enough, anyway, I never got any benefit from it before."
Taiyi appeared quite calm, having completely accepted the situation.
Afterwards, both Yi Shuihan, the original body, and Taiyi, the clone, conducted various tests, gaining a preliminary understanding of the system's changes.
Overall, Yi Shuihan was extremely satisfied with the test results. With the system's support, he felt that his combat power had reached the level of a True Eye Emperor, and he could even win in a head-on battle.
In other words, Yi Shuihan, who has just stepped into the Chaos Emperor realm, has already surpassed most Chaos Emperors and can barely be considered a minor expert among them. Only the third realm of Chaos Emperors, the Enlightenment Realm, can pose a sufficient threat to Yi Shuihan, but that is all he can be. He is still far from being able to kill him.
Ideally, Yi Shuihan categorized the permissions into three levels. Level 1 users could only access one level of his power, Level 2 users could access 30%, and Level 3 users could access 50%. Taiyi, his clone, and his wives were naturally Level 3 users, and Dudu was also granted Level 3 permissions.
For now, only level three privilege holders are allowed. As for level one and two privilege holders, we need to carefully consider who should be granted them.
Yi Shuihan's strength is much stronger than that of ordinary Chaos Emperors. Becoming one of his privilege holders, even at the lowest level, would put one above True Saints and at the level of a Chaos Emperor. In an instant, one could become a powerhouse ranked over ten thousandth in all the heavens and myriad realms. It would be no exaggeration to say that this is an incredible opportunity. If anyone knew that Yi Shuihan had this ability, the attraction would be even greater than the secret realm that could help Chaos Emperors break through.
One option has a chance of breaking through, but the probability is only a few percent. The other option is 100%. Choosing the latter is naturally more worthwhile.
Even Yi Shuihan cannot set an unlimited number of authorized users. If too many authorized users borrow his power, it will affect him. According to the system's calculations, keeping the number of authorized users around 50 is a moderate and not too significant impact on Yi Shuihan.
Unless the system is further enhanced, or Yi Shuihan makes a major breakthrough—such as advancing from a Chaos Emperor to a Great Dao Emperor—this authority will remain unchanged. Therefore, Yi Shuihan needs to be extremely cautious when selecting those who grant this authority.
Permissions can be revoked, but it takes a long time before they can be revoked and then granted again.
Shortly after the secret realm ended, the various forces dispersed and returned to their respective places. Yi Shuihan went back to the school, while Taiyi went to the Main God Space. The distance between them was constantly increasing every moment.
Fortunately, the system was very efficient, and it wasn't until 500 years later that it indicated the distance had reached its initial limit. Next, Taiyi would need to consume a certain amount of energy to borrow Yishuihan's power.
The energy consumed at the beginning was not much, and it was within a completely bearable range. Each time Taiyi borrowed Yi Shuihan's strength, it was equivalent to Yi Shuihan himself cultivating for only one hour.
When the final thousand years have passed, Yi Shuihan returns to the United High School of the Myriad Realms, and Taiyi returns to the Main God Space. When the distance between the two is at its greatest, Taiyi can still borrow the power of Yi Shuihan. However, every time he uses Yi Shuihan's original body, he has to waste a year of cultivation.
Such a vast distance is beyond the reach of even the divine powers of a Great Dao Emperor. From this perspective, the system's capabilities have begun to reach the realm of a Great Dao Emperor.
Chapter 1348, Chaos City Company Branch
Leaving aside Taiyi who returned to the Main God Space, Yi Shuihan, who had already returned to the Multiverse United High School, received a warm welcome.
The school had already been informed of Yi Shuihan and the Emperor's successful breakthrough to the Chaos Emperor realm, and was already preparing a celebration when they returned.
The purpose of the Multiverse United High School is to cultivate Chaos Emperors. However, there have been no Chaos Emperors for a long time recently, so the appearance of two at once is naturally something to celebrate.
One can imagine the upheaval that will occur once this news spreads throughout the myriad realms. In the coming period, the number of beings applying to join the Myriad Realms United Academy will undoubtedly increase significantly.
"I didn't expect you to become the Chaos Emperor so quickly. You're truly young and promising!"
Director Tie, who had previously helped Yi Shuihan, stood beside Yi Shuihan and said with a sigh.
Director Tie had high hopes for Yi Shuihan, believing that Yi Shuihan would become a Chaos Emperor sooner or later. However, even he did not expect it to happen so quickly. In his mind, Yi Shuihan would have to wait at least a million years to become a Chaos Emperor.
Becoming the Chaos Emperor also means that Yi Shuihan has graduated from school. He can now be considered a graduate, only lacking a graduation ceremony.
With Yi Shuihan gone, the company will have to keep a low profile at the school for a while, which troubled Director Tie. However, thinking about the benefits that Yi Shuihan brought by becoming the Chaos Emperor, he temporarily forgot about his worries.
"Director Tie isn't old at all! He's still young!"
Yi Shuihan flattered him, behaving very modestly, which made Director Tie look at him with great satisfaction.
As the most famous person known to have broken through to the Chaos Emperor realm the fastest, Yi Shuihan has experienced countless similar sentiments to those of Director Tie.
If it were any other Chaos Emperor, they would be full of pride and self-satisfaction at this moment. But Yi Shuihan was not, because from the very beginning he had set his sights on a higher level, the Great Dao Emperor, or even the highest level.
Beside Yi Shuihan were Director Tie, True Eye Emperor, and a group of other rarely seen Chaos Emperors, totaling more than 20. Some of them were garrisoned by other major forces like Director Tie, while others, like True Eye Emperor, belonged to the school.
While dealing with the group of Chaos Emperors, Yi Shuihan was also sighing. It really is true that different realms lead to different views. Before he became a Chaos Emperor, it was very difficult to see Chaos Emperors. Even if he did see one, it was usually only one or two. How could it be like this group of Chaos Emperors now?
It should be noted that Yi Shuihan was only one of the main figures in this celebration. The Emperor's side was also surrounded by emperors, fewer than Yi Shuihan's side, but still about ten. In total, there were about forty Chaos Emperors, which was simply terrifying.
It's obvious that the forty Chaos Emperors aren't all at the school; some definitely didn't come. After all, not all Chaos Emperors have to give face to the new Chaos Emperor. Most of those who came now are at the first stage of the three realms of Chaos Emperors, and only three of them are at the second stage, just like the True Eye Emperor.
Would the school not have more second-realm or even third-realm cultivators? That's definitely impossible. It's just that Yi Shuihan and the others haven't caught the attention of those beings yet. Besides, they have their own things to do, so it's normal that they can't find the time to attend this conference.
The celebration lasted for a whole year. The Chaos Emperor had only reappeared after so many years, and the school wished they could celebrate for tens of thousands of years. A year was already quite a short time.
Of course, Yi Shuihan didn't socialize all year round. He only did so for the first month and then didn't show up much afterward. The celebration was all done by themselves.
......
"What should we do next?"
Having achieved his goal of coming to the Multiverse United University and successfully becoming the Chaos Emperor, it is now time for Yi Shuihan to make a choice.
One option is to stay at the school and hold a position similar to that of the True Eye Emperor; another is to return to the company as a senior executive; and the third is to go to Chaos City.
As for Yi Shuihan himself, he actually preferred the second and third options. The first option, staying at the school, would not bring him much benefit, because the school environment is more suitable for those below the Chaos Emperor level, and not suitable for the Chaos Emperor level. Even the True Eye Emperor did not really approve of Yi Shuihan staying.
Back at the company, Yi Shuihan can leverage his talent and position to receive more training. The company will likely be very willing to nurture him, as they know him well and he is also very talented. There's not much to worry about him betraying them.
The third option, Chaos City, is also a good choice, because Chaos City is the true center of all the heavens and myriad realms. There, one can communicate with more like-minded people and come into contact with higher levels. The atmosphere there is very conducive to the cultivation of the Chaos Emperor.
Even though he didn't know that Yi Shuihan had a master in Chaos City, the True Eye Emperor still recommended Chaos City, which shows the importance of Chaos City in his heart.
From the True Eye Emperor's expression, Yi Shuihan could tell that the True Eye Emperor held Chaos City in high esteem. He even told Yi Shuihan that if it weren't for some things that happened to him in Chaos City, he would probably still be in Chaos City now instead of here.
The True Eye Emperor didn't elaborate on the story, and Yi Shuihan didn't ask either. With his current strength, he wasn't capable of interfering in the True Eye Emperor's affairs. Perhaps he could ask him when he became stronger in the future.
"Wait a minute, since Chaos City is the center of all the heavens and myriad realms, the company must have its own influence there. Perhaps I can do this..."
As if struck by a thought, Yi Shuihan's eyes gradually lit up.
Director Tie's residence
"Of course our company has a branch in Chaos City. How could we not get involved in such an important place? What are you trying to do by asking this?"
"I want to know if I can go to that branch."
"So that's what you were planning."
Director Tie looked as if he had just realized something.
"Those positions in the company are very scarce, since everyone wants to go there. It's just that it's very difficult to get one, otherwise I would have gone myself. But you have an opportunity, it's just a matter of whether you can seize it. It's like this..."
Chapter 1349, The Battle for the Guardian's Spot
Chaos City is a holy land for cultivators from all the heavens and myriad realms. True Saints are as common as dogs, and Chaos Emperors are everywhere. Encountering a Chaos Emperor on the street is an extremely common occurrence. It may sound exaggerated, but it is also very real.
Many employees in the company want to go to such a place, but the company cannot allow all employees who want to go to go, so it has formulated a series of measures.
Only those who reach the level of Chaos Emperor are qualified to apply to go to Chaos City. Even then, it's not a matter of staying there permanently. Every ten million years, they need to undergo an assessment, and if they don't meet the standards, they have to leave Chaos City.
The Chaos City branch consists of two types of members: the garrison, who are specifically responsible for maintaining order and providing external military deterrence. Generally, the leaders of the garrison are powerful individuals at the second level of the Chaos Emperor realm, specifically the Enlightenment Realm, and not just those who have just entered or exited the Enlightenment Realm, but veteran Enlightenment Realm experts. As for those at the third level of the Chaos Emperor realm, they are all busy launching their assault on the Great Dao Emperor and have no time or leisure to act as garrison commanders.
The Guardians are essentially the face of the company, showcasing its strength to the cultivators of Chaos City. Therefore, in addition to the extremely powerful Guardian leaders, there are also some geniuses cultivated by the company to serve as Guardians. These Guardians are there to deal with other cultivators who are also geniuses, in order to demonstrate the company's magnanimity and prevent it from bullying the weak.
The competition between the various factions guarding the city of Chaos is also a major highlight of the city.
Besides the guardians, another type is the employees of the trading system. They don't have high requirements for cultivation or combat strength. They are all employees of the company who know how to do business. The competition is based on performance. Whoever creates more value in a certain period of time will be transferred to other places. Those who rank at the bottom in two consecutive assessments will be transferred to other places.
For Yi Shuihan, he naturally couldn't enter Chaos City as an employee of the trading system. Even with his performance in the prehistoric world, he was still a bit lacking. Every person who could enter Chaos City as an employee of the trading system was a true expert in trading and had an outstanding resume in the field.
Furthermore, if Yi Shuihan were to enter Chaos City as an employee of the trading system, he would have to devote most of his energy to trading, which would conflict with his original desire to continue moving forward and becoming stronger.
In conclusion, Yi Shuihan needs to go to Chaos City as a guardian.
The opportunity that Director Tie mentioned was that a group of guardians would be selected from within the company to go to Chaos City soon. According to his inside information, a total of 10 people would be selected, of which 3 spots were reserved for newly promoted Chaos Emperors, who were required to have cultivated for no more than one billion years.
A billion may seem like a lot, but it is extremely young for a Chaos Emperor. After all, most Chaos Emperors live for tens of billions of years, and even those who have lived for billions of years are considered young.
For the Chaos Emperors, their eras need to be redefined. Those within a billion years are considered children, those between a billion and ten billion years are considered youths, and those above ten billion years are considered middle-aged. As for old age, it doesn't exist; time has no effect on the Chaos Emperors at all.
A cultivator like Yi Shuihan, who hasn't even reached the level of a hundred million years, can be considered to be in the infant stage among the Chaos Emperors.
Of course, different stages are different, and less training time does not necessarily mean weaker combat power; this is just a general classification.
In fact, if Yi Shuihan were just an ordinary Chaos Emperor, it would be difficult for him to obtain a spot this time, because there are many competitors in the company who have hundreds of millions of years more cultivation time than Yi Shuihan. However, Yi Shuihan is not an ordinary Chaos Emperor; he is a true peerless genius who can fight against Chaos Emperors at the True Saint stage. This is why Director Tie felt that he had a good chance.
The information Yi Shuihan received from Director Tie was very satisfactory; now he no longer needed to agonize over whether to go to Chaos City or return to the company.
Of course, Director Tie didn't guarantee that Yi Shuihan would definitely be able to go to the company branch in Chaos City. However, Yi Shuihan believed that as long as there was an opportunity, he would be happy. He was confident that with his abilities, he could secure the qualification as long as nothing unexpected happened.
Without keeping Yi Shuihan waiting any longer, the competition for qualification began a century later, and Yi Shuihan returned to the company headquarters with Director Tie.
Last time, when he came to the company headquarters as a True Saint, Yi Shuihan was extremely shocked by the company headquarters. Now, returning as the Chaos Emperor, it's a completely different experience.
"Yi Shui Han?"
"you are?"
The place where the qualification was contested was a special secret realm, capable of withstanding battles from Chaos Emperors. When Yi Shuihan arrived, there were already about fifty Chaos Emperors waiting there.
Upon seeing so many Chaos Emperors at once, Yi Shuihan was secretly astonished. The company's power was indeed terrifying. He had underestimated the company's foundation before. Judging from this, the company must have at least several hundred, maybe even four figures, of Chaos Emperors. You should know that the number of Chaos Emperors in the entire universe only fluctuates around ten thousand.
Yi Shuihan was a newly crowned Chaos Emperor, someone no one he knew recognized. He had originally planned to keep a low profile, but before long, someone came up to talk to him.
"I am Ba Ling. My sons, Ba Tianhun and Ba Che, are both thanks to your care!"
So this is Ba Tianhun's father, and he does look quite imposing and domineering.
Yi Shuihan felt very strange, as if he had a great connection with Ba Tianhun's family. He met Ba Tianhun when he went to school, Ba Tianhun's brother Ba Che when he went to the secret realm, and now he met Ba Tianhun's Ba Ling.
"So it's Uncle. You're too kind."
Yi Shuihan bowed slightly to Ba Ling and said with a smile that although he didn't like being bothered by Ba Tianhun, it didn't mean he had any opinions about Ba Tianhun's family. On the contrary, he had a good impression of Ba Che and Ba Ling in front of him. Since the other party came with goodwill, he would naturally return the goodwill.
"You're here to compete for a spot too? Yes, with your abilities you certainly qualify."
Ba Ling clearly had some understanding of Yi Shui Han, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.
Similarly, Ba Ling's presence here indicates that he is also among those vying for a spot; it's just unknown whether he and Yi Shuihan are competitors.
Chapter 1350, Indecent Movement Posture
"You're probably here for a spot in a place with a lifespan of less than a billion years, right?"
Ba Ling said with certainty.
"good."
Yi Shuihan nodded slightly.
"Then you need to watch out for those little guys over there; they're all your competitors."
"See that one with white hair? He's known as the White-Haired Emperor. He's just a few hundred years away from crossing the threshold of one billion years. He's also the strongest Chaos Emperor in this one billion-year period. He has a master at the Enlightenment Realm, and his strength is also quite good at the Seeking Dao Realm."
"And that one, the one with two tails, the Annihilation Emperor, whose Annihilation Dao is quite formidable."
"Especially that one, she's beautiful, isn't she? That's our company's little princess. She has a very powerful backer; her mother is a powerful empress. Although she's here to participate in the selection, it's actually been decided long ago. You'd better be careful if you run into her. Besides, there's also..."
Ba Ling introduced them to Yi Shuihan as if they were his own treasures. To Yi Shuihan's surprise, Ba Ling seemed to be able to say a few words and comment on each of the Chaos Emperors.
Yi Shuihan listened silently to Ba Ling's words and made a mental note of them. They were indeed somewhat helpful; at least Yi Shuihan wasn't completely clueless now.
About two hours later, Ba Ling left Yi Shuihan's side to participate in the qualification competition. Many Chaos Emperors went with him, leaving only nine Chaos Emperors in the end. These were all competing for the three spots, just like Yi Shuihan.
"A ratio of three to one is relatively easy."
Yi Shuihan remained calm and collected, observing his competitors with equanimity.
Seemingly because the other Chaos Emperors had left, and the remaining ones were all competitors, the scene became very quiet, with everyone adopting a wary demeanor.
"Hey, who are you? I've never seen you before."
The company's little princess, who had been highlighted by Ba Ling, came to stand in front of Yi Shuihan, her emerald green eyes curiously scrutinizing him.
"The Yi River is cold."
She slowly uttered her name, neither cold nor overly enthusiastic. Yi Shuihan currently maintained a respectful distance from this little princess. From Ba Ling's words, he knew that this little princess had the personality of a little devil. Because she had a powerful mother, she was lawless and fearless outside, doing whatever she pleased without restraint.
"Never heard of it." The little princess tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Yi Shuihan, right? Not a bad name, I'll remember it. Do you know who I am?"
Before Yi Shuihan could answer, he continued...
"I am Baihuaxiang, the second most beautiful girl in all the heavens and myriad realms. The first is my mother. Hmph, the whole company acknowledges that I am the second most beautiful girl."
Bai Huaxiang is indeed very beautiful, but it is impossible to say that she is the second most beautiful woman in all the worlds. At least among the beauties that Yi Shuihan has seen, there are several who can compare to her, such as Shi Fei and Yi Ling'er. Moreover, even his own wives are no less beautiful than her.
Yi Shuihan neither agreed nor disagreed with Baihuaxiang's self-praise, giving it a dismissive air.
"You're so boring, no fun, no fun at all."
