Multiverse Skill System

With his mental focus, Yi Shuihan's gaze instantly shifted to the box, where he immediately saw Zhunti's hands constantly changing hand seals.

Yi Shuihan looked at these handprints for a long time but couldn't understand their purpose; they seemed to be drawn randomly.

However, it is clear that the truth is not like that, and Yi Shuihan believes that Zhunti's actions must have a purpose.

The second winning ball approached Zhunti's hand, and as soon as it touched his hand, Zhunti immediately let go, as if he knew it wasn't the winning ball.

This happened several times in a row. Because the ball travels extremely fast, these incidents only took a few breaths to occur to the outside world.

Yi Shuihan deliberately used a sure-hit ball, but Zhunti still chose to let go. However, Yi Shuihan, who had been paying attention to Zhunti, noticed that Zhunti's emotions fluctuated when he held the ball.

"It seems he really does know something."

Previously, Yi Shuihan had always looked down on Zhunti, but now he was very impressed with him. Putting aside everything else, the way Zhunti cheated alone was enough to show that he was no ordinary person.

"You can't expect to draw a Quasi-Saint level system."

Knowing that Zhunti had cheated, Yi Shuihan naturally couldn't let him succeed. If a Quasi-Saint System were actually selected, Yi Shuihan would suffer a great loss. All the systems sold today would be sold for Zhunti's benefit.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan was very glad that he had placed the guaranteed hit ball. He directly made the remaining two guaranteed hit balls take turns falling into Zhunti's hands with each operation.

After several attempts, Zhunti's face turned extremely ugly. He knew that Yi Shuihan was the one who was cheating, but he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise his cheating would be exposed.

If Zhunti could obtain a Quasi-Saint-level system after the exposure, he wouldn't mind the exposure. However, he knew that was impossible. If it were really brought up, Yi Shuihan would lose his credibility, and he would be targeted by Yi Shuihan. At that time, he would definitely have to pay a huge price to get out unscathed.

"Are you done yet? It's been so long. Why don't you let the others draw their prizes first, and then you can come back after everyone else has finished? You can take as long as you want then."

"All right."

Zhunti finally took his hand out of the box, and the small ball with the winning symbol caused a gasp of surprise from those around him.

"It's a hit! It's a hit! Zhunti's luck is just too good."

"As expected of Hongjun Daozu's disciple, a future sage, he truly possesses great fortune."

Amidst the surrounding congratulations, Zhunti's face darkened.

"Want to continue the lottery? You have two more chances."

"Smoke? Of course I'll smoke."

Zhunti put his hand back into the box.

Yi Shuihan intended to use the same trick again, but suddenly his expression froze as he realized something. Right now, he could only control one sure-hit ball. If Zhunti took it away again, wouldn't that mean he wouldn't be able to control Zhunti next time?

"By the way, I don't need to send the sure-hit ball to Zhunti's hand at all. I can just use the sure-hit ball to hit those thank-you balls into Zhunti's hand."

Just as he was about to put his idea into practice, he discovered that Zhunti had already taken his hand out, and in his hand was the last sure-hit ball in the box.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and Yi Shuihan hadn't expected Zhunti to be so decisive.

"and many more!"

Seeing that Zhunti was about to draw another prize, Yi Shuihan became anxious and quickly stopped him.

"I think everyone's chances of winning today aren't very high. How about this? Let's put these 3 winning balls back in. That way, everyone's chances of winning will be much higher."

Before Zhunti could react, he put the three sure-win balls back into the lottery box.

To others, this action seemed insignificant, and they even thought that Yi Shuihan was thinking of them. However, Zhunti keenly discovered the secret behind it, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

This is the last draw, and Zhunti will naturally only be able to draw one "Thank you for your patronage".

Zhunti won twice out of three draws, bought three systems, and ended up with six systems. In other words, Yi Shuihan only earned the value points of one system.

After Zhunti comes Jieyin. Unlike Zhunti, Jieyin is drawn honestly, so Yi Shuihan doesn't deliberately mess with him.

"What kind of luck is this?"

Even without any behind-the-scenes manipulation, he succeeded once out of three attempts at the system, which was a Golden Immortal-level system. This surprised Yi Shuihan greatly. This time, he truly succeeded by luck, with a probability of only three in ten thousand. In some ways, it is even more difficult to draw a guaranteed success ball than to draw a Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level system.

Chapter 1059, The Human Race Emerges, Nuwa Becomes a Saint

"Could it really be because they are future saints that they are lucky?"

Such a thought involuntarily popped into my mind. I have to say, it's quite reliable, after all, this is the prehistoric world where powerful beings fly everywhere, and luck has a huge impact.

After the guidance, the lottery once again yielded no results. It wasn't until the final Three Pure Ones lottery that the situation changed. Yuanshi won twice out of three attempts, while Tongtian won once out of one attempt, and what he won was the only Great Luo Golden Immortal level system.

It's impossible for Yi Shuihan not to think about the influence of fate in this outcome.

Being drawn into the Golden Immortal-level system wasn't a big deal for Yi Shuihan, who was rich and generous and could easily throw away a few hundred points. However, the Great Luo Golden Immortal-level system really hurt Yi Shuihan, and he even considered defaulting on the debt.

The opening of the Myriad Realms System Shop lasted for 7 days. The main reason was that people bought the system on the first day. On the remaining days, Yi Shuihan organized everyone to discuss the Dao, and everyone gained something.

The system released dozens of them at once, causing a significant impact on the prehistoric world. After that, it was common to hear about the rapid advancement of certain system owners, such as advancing while asleep, finding rare and precious treasures while walking, and achieving enlightenment by simply speaking up for someone.

Gradually, system owners became the envy of all living beings. Having a system meant being high-class and powerful. Even if one's strength was low, no one dared to provoke them. This was because those who could obtain a system either had a powerful background or were favored by the heavens and earth. If the former offended the big boss behind them, he would deal with you. If the latter could kill the other party immediately, that would be fine, but if you couldn't, you would definitely be the one who died the next time you met.

More than a hundred years later, on this day, a beam of golden light of merit descended from the direction of Buzhou Mountain in the primordial world, and then a powerful aura that crushed all living beings soared into the sky. The primordial world had felt that aura once before; it was the holy might of a sage.

When a sage is born, the whole world rejoices. In an instant, the entire prehistoric world is filled with heavenly music, blooming flowers, and roaring beasts. Auspicious energy permeates the entire prehistoric land. Many lives are enlightened and gain intelligence, and some even break through and transform into human form.

Above the void, the Great Dao manifested, and at this moment, the difficulty of comprehending the Great Dao decreased by a hundredfold.

"Nuwa has become a saint? It seems that the human race has been born."

Nuwa's attainment of sainthood was not surprising to Yi Shuihan. In fact, he felt that Nuwa's attainment of sainthood was a little late, after all, more than a hundred years had passed since he reminded Nuwa. He had thought that Nuwa would become a saint in a few years.

Before Nuwa became a saint, she was not very strong. She had only severed one of her corpses. She became a saint through merit and, although she reached the saintly position, her strength was not strong among the saints. If things had developed as originally planned, Nuwa would probably have been the weakest among the saints of the prehistoric world.

Even the weakest of them all, no one can underestimate Nuwa. After all, she is the creator of the human race, the protagonist of heaven and earth. As long as the human race's fortune continues, she can enjoy endless fortune. She doesn't need to fight for the so-called lineage like the Three Pure Ones and Zhunti.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Three Pure Ones and Zhunti became saints by establishing their own religions. If the Three Pure Ones directly broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm on their own, the situation would be completely different.

"The Goddess Nuwa has become a saint. Now our demon race has its own saint, and the witch race is no longer a threat."

"Great! The days when my demon race was suppressed by the witch race are finally over."

"I never expected that the first person to become a saint would be the Goddess Nuwa. I originally thought it would be Laozi, after all, Laozi was the eldest disciple of the Dao Ancestor."

Some were happy while others were sad. The happy ones were naturally the demon race, while the sad ones were the non-demon race members. The pressure on the witch race suddenly increased. The demon race with saints was no longer something they could manipulate at will.

In the Kunlun Mountains, the Three Pure Ones sat together, speechless. Laozi's gaze was deep, Yuanshi was slightly unwilling, and Tongtian was surrounded by fighting spirit.

Because of Yi Shuihan's words, the Three Pure Ones were actually thinking about whether they could cultivate into Primordial Golden Immortals first. They were not going all out to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi and become Heavenly Saints. Now that Nuwa had become a saint, it put some pressure on them. At least Yuanshi was having some trouble with it and had the idea that he should become a Heavenly Saint first. He had no clue about how to become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

......

Yi Shuihan was thinking about whether to go and help the human race. After all, the human race was newly born and weak. They were the weakest race in the prehistoric world. They must have had a hard time surviving in the early stages. Perhaps because they were a race created by Nuwa, they would not be wiped out. They must have suffered a lot.

Suddenly, starlight converged directly in front of Yi Shuihan, and Nuwa's figure was condensed.

As a saint, Nuwa appeared more majestic and aloof than before, inspiring a sense of awe and submission in all who beheld her.

"Taiyi, is the race you mentioned human?"

As Yi Shuihan guessed Nuwa's purpose, Nuwa spoke softly.

The oppressive aura of a saint caused Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe, who were not far away, to unconsciously bow their bodies. Their faces were full of fear and astonishment. Nuwa's previous strength was not even comparable to theirs. Now that she had become a saint, they could not even withstand her aura. What a change in strength this was.

Faced with this oppressive aura, Yi Shuihan merely furrowed his brow slightly but did not show any further reaction. This scene, seen by Nuwa, evoked a strange feeling in her eyes towards Yi Shuihan.

Nuwa knew that Yi Shuihan was powerful. She had previously thought that Yi Shuihan might have reached the level of a saint, but after Yi Shuihan became a saint, she finally understood the difference between a saint and someone below the saint level. Yi Shuihan could fight six people at once, and now she could do it too, and very easily. Not to mention six quasi-saints, even if the number increased a hundredfold or a thousandfold, she could change the world with just a wave of her hand. Quasi-saints were really just ants to her.

In Nuwa's view, Yi Shuihan's combat power was still far behind that of the saints, at least more than 10 times, and he should not have been able to withstand her pressure, or at least not so easily. However, in reality, Yi Shuihan easily withstood her pressure.

"They are indeed human."

Nodding, Yi Shuihan had no intention of continuing to hide it from Nuwa; there was no point in hiding it anyway.

Chapter 1060, Establishing a Dojo

Hearing Yi Shuihan's answer, Nuwa's heart was not at peace. Before she became a saint, she had never thought that the race Yi Shuihan mentioned would be the human race. After all, she created the human race, and she did not know that it was the human race when she created it. The name "human" was given by the Heavenly Dao, not by her, Nuwa.

At the moment when Nuwa achieved sainthood through merit, her mind and spirit merged with the Heavenly Dao, and her primordial spirit resided in the void. At that time, her thoughts were exceptionally clear, and past memories quickly surfaced one after another. Everything that she couldn't understand or comprehend before became effortless at that moment. She felt omnipotent and that nothing could trouble her.

Having become a sage, one knows at least 99% of the things that happened in the primordial world, if not all of them.

If we compare the primordial world to a computer, the Heavenly Dao is the system, and the sage is the administrator with management authority. Once one becomes a sage, one can freely view the computer information, that is, everything recorded by the system. This is why the sage knows everything that happens in the world.

Only those special things, which obscure the secrets of heaven, are unknown to even sages.

In that state, when Nuwa saw the scene of her agreement with Yi Shuihan, she subconsciously deduced what kind of race it was and concluded that it was the human race.

Originally, Nuwa didn't have deep feelings for the human race and didn't intend to take care of them too much. As long as the human race didn't perish, that was enough. As for the human race growing to the point where they could compete with the witches and demons, she never even thought about it. However, it was because of the unexpected Yi Shuihan that she discovered the difference in the human race.

Although the human race is newly born and its fortune cannot compare with that of the witches and demons, it is stronger than other races in the prehistoric world. Originally, Nuwa thought that this was because of her own good fortune, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. It is she who has benefited from the human race's good fortune.

Besides confirming her discovery, she came to Yi Shuihan for another reason: she was curious about Yi Shuihan's ability to foresee the future. Putting herself in her shoes, even if she were a saint now, she couldn't have foreseen the existence of the human race before its birth. If even a saint couldn't do it, how could Yi Shuihan do it?

"Will humanity become the protagonist of the world?"

Nuwa asked again.

"Yes."

Yi Shuihan answered without hesitation: Now that the human race has been born, even if the Heavenly Dao wants to change the protagonist of the world, Yi Shuihan will forcefully put the human race in the position of the protagonist of the world, not for any other reason than that he, Yi Shuihan, is first and foremost a human being.

"Do you think that if I knew this, I would still allow the human race to develop?"

Nuwa wouldn't destroy the human race, but if restricting the human race could allow the demon race to become the protagonist of the world, she would definitely do it.

"Humanity is destined to become the protagonist of the world."

Yi Shuihan's tone was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of determination.

Nuwa remained silent, giving Yi Shuihan a deep look before disappearing from sight. She didn't ask Yi Shuihan why he knew all this, believing he wouldn't tell her the truth.

The truth is, if Nuwa had actually asked, there's a 50% chance that Yi Shuihan would have told her the truth, depending on Yi Shuihan's mindset at the time.

While being familiar with the plot is certainly good, for Yi Shuihan now, whether he is familiar with the plot or not doesn't make much difference. In the prehistoric world, he bought systems, and now that he has sold almost all of them, perhaps making a change would be more beneficial to him.

Donghuang Taiyi and Styx did not hear the conversation between Yi Shuihan and Nuwa. Nuwa could shield the surroundings, because if Donghuang Taiyi knew that the human race would rise and threaten the demon race, he would definitely try every means to transmit the information. At that time, given Dijun's personality, it would be normal for him to exterminate the human race.

Only one sage gave birth to Nuwa. If Dijun were to do this on behalf of the demon race, Nuwa would ignore it, and even Nuwa could not predict what would happen then.

"I, Nuwa, will establish a Daoist temple in the Chaos. Fellow Daoists, you are welcome to come and take a look."

Not long after he left, this message reached Yi Shuihan's ears. Not only Yi Shuihan was invited, but also the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Fuxi.

Nuwa, who has already become a saint, is not on the same level as a quasi-saint. Apart from her brother Fuxi, she would only look at the other people in the prehistoric world who had obtained the Primordial Purple Qi and were qualified to become saints.

Only a sage can create a Dao field in the chaos. This so-called Dao field is actually a small world with the potential to grow. However, no matter how well it grows, it will still not surpass the primordial world.

"The Great Dao of Creation is indeed worth seeing."

Yi Shuihan immediately went to Chaos to watch Nuwa use the Great Dao of Creation to open up a sacred site.

Nuwa then raised her hands, and mountains appeared out of thin air, along with lakes, grasslands, palaces, and pavilions...

These creations are all ordinary substances. Obviously, Nuwa cannot conjure up rare and precious materials out of thin air. However, once the Daoist temple is opened and spiritual energy is introduced, the temple will gradually grow and eventually give birth to rare and precious materials, and even life itself.

Where does spiritual energy come from? It naturally comes from the transformation of chaotic energy. Chaotic energy is essentially just a kind of energy, which is more advanced than spiritual energy. Under certain circumstances, it can be converted into spiritual energy. After the Daoist temple is established, a small amount of chaotic energy can be introduced and slowly converted into spiritual energy to nourish the temple.

The primordial chaos is to the world what air is to humans—the nourishment the world needs to grow.

The primordial continent is constantly growing, expanding in size, all thanks to the nourishment of chaotic energy. Without this, so many powerful beings could not have been born in the primordial world.

Currently, the amount of spiritual energy converted from chaotic energy is greater than that absorbed by cultivators, which is why there is a golden age of cultivation. However, one day, the amount of spiritual energy converted from chaotic energy will be less than the amount absorbed by cultivators, and cultivation will become more difficult unless the world becomes stronger and increases the efficiency of chaotic energy conversion.

After witnessing Nuwa establish her Daoist temple, Yi Shuihan seemed to gain some insight and broke through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint. He only needed to go into seclusion for a while to completely achieve the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

For Yi Shuihan now, unless he breaks through to the Quasi-Saint realm, the improvement of the Quasi-Saint realm will not increase his combat power much, because his combat power has increased too quickly, even crossing major realms, which is why it is like this.

Chapter 1061, Houtu's Reincarnation

While the demon race was gaining momentum due to Nuwa's ascension to sainthood, a meeting was being held in the core area of ​​the witch race.

The twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together, revealing their true forms, surrounded by strange phenomena.

Having obtained the system for over a hundred years, Dijiang and Houtu, who use the Quasi-Saint system, are now genuine mid-stage Quasi-Saints. Their cultivation in the Immortal Path alone is already considered to be at the peak of the Primordial World, not to mention the power brought by their own bloodline. Dijiang can now completely defeat Dijun head-on, and the strength of the other Ancestral Witches has also increased by more than double.

"Now that Nuwa has become a saint, should we tone it down a bit?"

"What are you trying to hide? Gonggong, you're too cowardly! He's just a sage! Do you think our Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is just for show?"

“That’s right. Our strength has increased significantly since the last great battle. If we were to summon the true form of the Father God again, the power would increase tenfold. Dealing with Hongjun might be a bit difficult, but defeating Nuwa would be no problem at all.”

"The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation requires all twelve of us to set it up. Ideally, one of us should become a true saint, so that our Witch Clan will have no worries at all."

"..."

Apart from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, no one knew what they had talked about. After that day, Houtu left the territory of the Witch Clan, concealed her whereabouts, and came to Yi Shuihan.

After witnessing Nuwa establish her Daoist temple, Yi Shuihan went to the human realm to cultivate in seclusion, preparing to break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, leaving an avatar outside to take care of the human race.

In order to make the human race stronger, Yi Shuihan secretly taught the True Martial Path to the human race. At the same time, some immortal cultivation techniques were also found by certain destined people in various forms.
