"Old man, do you need to go to the toilet?"
"No, I want to leave."
"Leave? What are you saying? Leave where? This is our home!"
Yes! This is his home, not a fictional place; it's the real world, but he has more important things to do.
In an instant, Yi Shuihan's body began to change. His loose skin became tight, his slightly hunched back straightened, and he grew several centimeters taller.
This is Yi Shuihan, around 20 years old. This change left his wife, who had been with him for decades, speechless, staring at him in disbelief.
The moment Yi Shuihan's power fully returned, the entire world was put on pause, and then the world began to shatter.
This is indeed the real world, a world that existed to test Yi Shuihan. Now that Yi Shuihan has passed the test, the world naturally has no reason to exist, and thus it has begun to collapse. If it is not stopped, everything in this world except for Yi Shuihan will return to nothingness.
"Although giving up is the best option, I can't do it."
As he murmured something, an extremely powerful force erupted from Yi Shuihan, instantly spreading and enveloping most of the city.
From this moment on, Yi Shuihan's power will become the source of existence for this half of the city. This is also a huge pressure for Yi Shuihan. If it were in the myriad worlds, this power would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean. In fact, the power of each of his breaths could make this city exist for hundreds of millions of years. Now, just by keeping this city alive, nearly half of Yi Shuihan's regenerative power has been lost here. In other words, his regenerative power will be halved in the future.
Of course, even with half the power, Yi Shuihan's recovery ability still far surpasses that of other Great Dao Emperors.
The familiar fluorescent light reappeared on Yi Shuihan's body, and Yi Shuihan was taken away without any power to resist.
When he reappeared, Yi Shuihan was in the cosmic starry sky. Under the influence of a special force, he involuntarily flew towards a fixed location. Half an hour later, he arrived above a continent. It was not a large continent, roughly estimated to be only a few million miles in size. There were many such continents in the myriad worlds.
After falling towards the mainland, Yi Shuihan regained control of his body.
"An emergency landing right off the bat, how unfriendly."
The fierce wind made Yi Shuihan's hair stand on end, but Yi Shuihan didn't have the energy to adjust his hairstyle. The gravity on this continent was so great that Yi Shuihan had to exert all his strength to fly, and even maintaining the speed of a parachute descent was not an easy task.
A few minutes later, Yi Shuihan successfully made an emergency landing on a small floating continent, leaving only a crater about one meter in diameter.
Looking around, Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that there were small landmasses floating in mid-air like the ones beneath his feet all over this unknown continent. In just a short while, Yi Shuihan discovered no less than a hundred landmasses, some large and some small.
"So, what should we do now?"
After tidying his clothes, Yi Shuihan rested his chin on his hand. This breakthrough had been inexplicable. First, there was the desert, then the great hall where he was looking for a way to die, then he almost fell into that strange space, and now he was here. He had no clue what to do.
In any case, staying in one place won't yield any results. This isn't some vast world where you can know everything with a single thought.
"Let's take a walk around this land first, maybe we'll run into someone we know!"
Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan began to move, walking at a leisurely pace, observing his surroundings, hoping to find something different.
The land where Yi Shuihan landed was only a hundred miles in circumference. Even though Yi Shuihan's speed had been greatly reduced, he was still much faster than an ordinary person. In just one hour, he had roughly figured out the situation of the land.
Apart from Yi Shuihan himself, there are no other intelligent beings here. There are flowers, trees, and small animals, but they are all in a daze, existing only on instinct.
These plants and trees may seem ordinary, but in essence they are far superior to their counterparts in all the worlds. If they could be taken out, they could easily transform into rare and precious treasures, and it would be quite normal for them to even develop intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation.
"Should we go and explore other landmasses?"
Unable to find what he wanted, Yi Shuihan decided to leave.
However, at that moment, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and looking up, a fireball was falling towards Yi Shuihan at an accelerating speed.
"That is……"
At first, Yi Shuihan couldn't make out exactly what the fireball was. But when it was about to crash onto another piece of land not far from him, he finally got a general idea of what it was, and his expression became inscrutable.
bang
The loud noise was no less than that of a bomb exploding, and it wasn't an ordinary bomb; it was a high-explosive bomb.
"Hey, isn't this our Brother Kuang Lei? You left earlier than me, but you're only here so late. Did you get lost?"
With his arms outstretched, Yi Shuihan examined the black object lying in the pit with great interest.
"War...War madman, quick...help your brother...he's going to die."
That fireball was none other than the Mad Thunder Emperor, but since his strength was inferior to Yi Shuihan's, he couldn't use a parachute to land and could only freefall, which is why he ended up looking like this.
Chapter 1524, A Different Experience
After barely managing to finish speaking, the Thunder Emperor couldn't hold on any longer and completely fainted. Judging from his injuries, he might die if left untreated.
It's only here that we can witness such a miraculous thing: a Great Dao Emperor being so severely injured as to die from a single fall. In the myriad realms, it would be absolutely impossible. Not to mention a Great Dao Emperor, even a newly ascended immortal would not be killed by such a short distance. Even if injured, they would automatically recover.
The Thunder Emperor was lucky; he encountered Yi Shuihan, so he was destined not to die.
Yi Shuihan returned to the floating land he had been on before, bringing back some healing herbs. He roughly applied them to the Thunder Emperor, causing the Thunder Emperor, who was unconscious, to furrow his brows.
The herbs were very effective. In just half a day, the injuries of the Thunder Emperor stopped worsening and began to improve. At least the Thunder Emperor could survive even without Yi Shuihan.
There is no night on this continent because there is not one sun in the sky, but two suns, and the two suns are exactly opposite each other. The continent does not revolve around the sun and is in a static state, so it is always daytime and the brightness does not change much.
To be honest, this was the first time Yi Shuihan had ever seen such an environment. He hadn't noticed it at first, and it wasn't until nightfall that he realized it.
Yi Shuihan had been to places of eternal day and eternal night before, but those places were either barren wastelands or only had very monotonous life forms, such as fire elementals. The land beneath his feet was far too rich in biodiversity to be found in an environment like this one of eternal day.
Five days have passed. Well, that's based on a standard 24-hour day in the world. Keeping track of time isn't too difficult for Yi Shuihan.
During the five days, apart from the Thunder Emperor, Yi Shuihan did not see any other beings descending from the sky. Of course, because of the Thunder Emperor, he did not go far and only explored the surrounding floating continents. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that there were Great Dao Emperors who had descended to this continent before Yi Shuihan.
"She's about to wake up. If I had known it would take this long, I should have splashed her with water."
In fact, Yi Shuihan had the idea of forcibly waking up the Thunder Emperor on the second day, but he has been delaying it until now. Overall, he is still too merciful.
The Thunder Emperor slowly opened his eyes, then his pupils immediately contracted. He was about to shout when he saw something that was too shocking: a bright red color, symmetrical on the left and right, with a line in the middle.
"If you call it out, I'll let you have close contact with it."
These words brought the Thunder Emperor's voice to an abrupt halt, abruptly, as he began to cough violently.
"Take this thing away from me, take it away now."
"I'm relieved to hear your strong voice. It seems my folk remedy has finally worked. Placing a monkey's buttocks with the injured person can speed up the recovery. Hmm, I'll write that down."
That's right, what the Thunder Emperor saw was a monkey's butt. To be honest, Yi Shuihan was quite surprised to find a monkey here.
"vomit!"
When the Thunder Emperor heard Yi Shuihan's words, he realized he had been sitting with that monkey's butt for who knows how long, and his face turned green. At that moment, the monkey's pungent smell took effect, making him involuntarily nauseous and gag.
"Alright, your task is complete. Go now!"
Yi Shuihan freed the monkey, so what he said was obviously a lie. He had just discovered that the Thunder Emperor was about to wake up and had a sudden idea to bring a monkey as a prank.
Yi Shuihan was very satisfied with the Thunder Emperor's reaction, and the psychological trauma caused by being unable to travel far these past few days because of the Thunder Emperor was repaired.
three minutes later
"War Maniac, I'm breaking off all ties with you."
The Thunder Emperor looked at Yi Shuihan with a resentful expression. Being stared at by such a burly man made Yi Shuihan's skin crawl.
As expected of a Great Dao Emperor, he quickly realized after calming down that he had been deceived. The so-called folk remedy was utter nonsense. It was only when he had just come to his senses and his mind was still somewhat muddled that he was tricked.
"I would never be friends with savages."
Yi Shuihan replied with this sentence indifferently, and the Thunder Emperor immediately fell silent. He looked around anxiously. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because he felt uncomfortable as soon as he heard it. This outfit was really unbearable!
"There's a pond about 800 meters away. I'm sure you can take care of your clothes yourself."
Before he could finish speaking, all that could be seen was a dark silhouette.
An hour later, the completely transformed Mad Thunder Emperor appeared before Yi Shuihan, wearing a leather jacket and pants that he had somehow acquired.
"Tell me what you've been through. Logically, you should have arrived here before me."
Yi Shuihan asked curiously.
When asked this question, the Thunder Emperor looked on with a look of reminiscence. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I was killed by you in the main hall, and then I successfully passed the test. After disappearing from the ceremony, I came to a strange place. The surroundings were all void, with only a one-way road under my feet."
As he said this, fear filled the eyes of the Thunder Emperor. "Before I could figure out what was going on, the road behind me started to collapse, so I had no choice but to run forward, running with all my might. To tell you the truth, I was completely bewildered in that situation. Don't ask me why I ran; at the time, I just felt that if I didn't run, I would definitely die."
"That's not all. During the run, disgusting things kept popping up from the void on both sides: bone hands, mysterious mouths, slime with unknown effects, flames, swords... In short, what I experienced far exceeded your imagination."
"I have never been so miserable in my life, because I have never been so weak here. I remember I was already a quasi-True Saint when I was born, and I broke through to True Saint when I was one year old."
The experiences of the Thunder Emperor were clearly different from those of Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan's treatment was obviously much better, which was perhaps the privilege of the strong.
Chapter 1525, Do you need a lightning rod to fly?
He was delighted to hear about the Thunder Emperor's experience. Yi Shuihan also told the Thunder Emperor what happened after he left. He was happy to hear that the Ice-Melting Emperor had also passed through the main hall, but he was also a little worried. He was worried that the Ice-Melting Emperor might have encountered the same situation as him. He himself had barely managed to escape, and since the Ice-Melting Emperor was not as strong as him, he might very well perish.
"Will you stay with me or go alone next?"
Now that the Thunder Emperor has awakened and is out of danger, Yi Shuihan no longer needs to watch over him.
"Of course we'll go together, we're friends, aren't we?"
"Who was it that wanted to sever ties just now?"
"..."
Finally, the Thunder Emperor followed Yi Shuihan. He was determined to cling to Yi Shuihan's coattails. Even if he was fully recovered, he would still cling to Yi Shuihan's coattails. With Yi Shuihan as his strong support, he would feel much safer!
Yi Shuihan was somewhat aware of the Thunder Emperor's thoughts, but he didn't care. Having a companion he could talk to was not bad.
For half a month, Yi Shuihan and Kuang Lei Dizun were on the move, searching for clues and competitors.
At their pace, it would take them about six months to completely traverse the entire continent, and half a month would only cover tens of thousands of miles.
In fact, if they were just traveling, they could have gone even faster, but their goal wasn't to go to a specific place, but to search.
On this day, Yi Shuihan and his companions arrived at a special floating landmass, which was entirely formed of steel.
"Did you see it?"
"Yes, this was caused by external forces. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the work of the Metal Emperor, who transformed the entire island into steel. In the outside world, it would be a matter of a single thought, but here, it would be impossible without more than half a month."
“Something’s fishy. The Metal Emperor wouldn’t do this for no reason. There must be a reason.”
Putting everything else aside, on this steel highway, the Metal Emperor's strength will be significantly amplified. Originally, the Metal Emperor was weaker than the Thunder Emperor, but now, in a fight here, the Thunder Emperor would be utterly humiliated by the Metal Emperor.
If the Thunder Emperor had come here alone, he certainly wouldn't have provoked the Metal Emperor, at least he wouldn't have chosen to go to the Metal Emperor's main venue. It was only because Yi Shuihan was by his side that he had the idea of going to investigate.
At the center of the Steel Continent, Yi Shuihan met the Metal Emperor, but it was slightly different from what he had imagined. The Metal Emperor was not awake, but unconscious.
The unconscious Metal Emperor was a cube-shaped metal block. If it weren't for the special life force emanating from it, one wouldn't recognize it as the Metal Emperor.
The Thunder Emperor circled the Metal Emperor several times, exclaiming in amazement, "I never imagined that the Metal Emperor's true form was this. No wonder he could turn everything around here into steel. He didn't do it on purpose; it was just that his inherent characteristics unconsciously came into play."
All previous guesses were wrong; there were no secrets here.
It's easy to guess what happened to the Metal Emperor. He was likely injured and unconscious due to a fall, just like the Thunder Emperor. However, compared to the Thunder Emperor, the Metal Emperor's vitality was much stronger. Even when he was unconscious, he was able to create a suitable environment for him to heal.
After carefully observing the Metal Emperor's condition, they discovered that without external interference, it would take at least several more months for the Metal Emperor to recover. Yi Shuihan and the others did not want to wait here for the Metal Emperor for several months.
As for helping the Metal Emperor recover quickly, unfortunately, neither Yi Shuihan nor the Thunder Emperor has that ability for the time being. This is not the myriad realms of the heavens, and their various abilities have been weakened to the limit.
Of course, if Yi Shuihan were to unleash the system, this ultimate weapon, he might be able to research a suitable skill in a few days, but he doesn't intend to do so. If it were before encountering the Thunder Emperor, Yi Shuihan might waste this time and energy.
After observing the Steel Continent, Yi Shuihan and Kuang Lei Dizun set off again, and this time it took another half a month.
Persistence pays off; this time, they finally encountered two enlightened Great Dao Emperors.
The first one was met on a flower-filled island seven days after leaving the Steel Continent. She was Empress Vera, one of the few female Great Dao Emperors who had entered this breakthrough opportunity.
It is said that Empress Vera's true form is a fairy born from a flower, and she is born with the ability to fly. This is probably why she was not injured when she fell from a great height. When I saw her, she was strolling among the flowers, surrounded by a group of butterflies. She was extremely beautiful.
Women always receive preferential treatment, let alone a beautiful woman like Empress Vera. Even the hot-tempered Emperor Kuang Lei tries his best to be polite in front of Empress Vera.
Vera Emperor also joined the team, and then eight days later, which is now, Yi Shuihan and the others witnessed another Great Dao Emperor falling from the sky.
The timing of arrival on this continent has nothing to do with strength, so it's not that those who are strong arrive early or those who are weak arrive late.
"Another one with wings."
Staring at the elegant figure in the sky, the Thunder Emperor's tone was very dissatisfied. It was unclear whether he was dissatisfied that the other party had wings or that the other party's fate was not as tragic as his.
Yi Shuihan was also a little annoyed because this person's landing was even easier than his, which was a slap in the face to him. You know, although he landed safely, his hair was all messed up.
Vera Emperor might have landed in the same way, but Yi Shuihan and Kuang Lei Emperor chose to ignore it, because Vera Emperor was so beautiful!
"It looks like thunder is coming!"
Yi Shuihan suddenly spoke to the Thunder Emperor.
"Thunder!" The Thunder Emperor was taken aback, then saw Yi Shuihan's meaningful gaze. "Yes, it is indeed going to thunder. It's normal for him to be struck by lightning while flying around in the sky at a time like this."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a thunderclap rang out, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck the figure who was gracefully descending, followed by a scream.
"As expected, it got struck by lightning. Sigh, they don't even have this much common sense. Don't they know they need to carry a lightning rod when flying?"
