Sword Emperor wanted to say something more. He felt that Yi Shuihan was easier to talk to than his father and Shi Fei. Even though Yi Shuihan had clearly expressed his attitude, he still wanted to try.
The main reason was that Yi Shuihan usually acted very kindly, so the Sword Emperor thought that Yi Shuihan's tolerance level should be relatively high.
Yi Shuihan naturally noticed the Sword Emperor's expression, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, an aura of coldness instantly enveloping the Sword Emperor and the others around him.
Is there anything else you want to say?
As he said this, the Sword Emperor felt that if he were to actually speak, he would be met with a thunderous blow from Yi Shuihan.
"No, no, since you're unwilling, we certainly won't force you. Sorry to bother you."
The Sword Emperor slunk away.
Xu Kuangtu, a madman who witnessed this scene from not far away, laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood.
While Yi Shuihan remained inactive, the situation was slightly different for his clone.
The Main God Space includes 10 reincarnators, including Yi Shuihan's clone. Yi Shuihan's clone is not the strongest, but only ranks 5th, which is considered average. There are 4 people ahead of him who are stronger than him. He is still a bit lacking in strength if he wants to remain unscathed.
The reincarnators are all ruthless. They started discussing how to take action against those with weaker backgrounds in order to obtain the Fountain of Satiety. The top-ranked ones all agreed and even wanted to drag other reincarnators into the effort. The more they did, the more Fountain of Satiety they would receive. Yi Shuihan's clone had no choice but to participate. If he didn't, he would be ostracized by the other reincarnators and end up not getting any Fountain of Satiety at all.
Of course, as Yi Shuihan's clone, he could easily overturn the table. He himself was not strong enough, but Yi Shuihan himself was strong enough. He could face all the reincarnators alone.
Yi Shuihan didn't want his clone to be exposed for the time being, so the clone still participated in the collective activities of the reincarnators. Anyway, it wasn't necessary to kill them. As long as the other party gave up the distribution of the Feast of Satisfaction, the same goal would be achieved. As for not giving up, then you can't blame the clone for being ruthless.
They are all near-emperors. If they can't recognize the situation at this point, they will only die in vain, having brought it upon themselves.
"You're from the Nature Alliance, right? I'm Taiyi from the Main God Space. I'd like to discuss something with you. From now on, all your Fountains of Satiety will belong to our Main God Space. What do you think?"
Chapter 1320, Forming Alliances
The Natural Alliance is considered a relatively large force in the myriad realms, but it is still somewhat inferior to the Demon Extermination Army, the Main God Space, the Company, and the United High School of the Myriad Realms. Only five of them entered the secret realm this time.
Not only are their numbers fewer than those of truly top-tier forces, but of these five quasi-emperors from the Natural Alliance, only two are truly at the peak of the quasi-emperor level, while the others are slightly less than the peak of the quasi-emperor level. Clearly, they cannot be assembled in full force.
Of course, even if they are not at the peak of Quasi-Emperor, they still have a chance to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm in this secret realm. After all, this place is useful for breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm, making it even easier for them to reach the peak of Quasi-Emperor.
Faced with Yi Shuihan's warm greeting, the five quasi-emperors of the Natural Alliance all looked grim, their gazes towards Yi Shuihan filled with shock and anger.
"The Fountain of Satiety belongs to the secret realm, not your main god space. Why can't we use it?"
"Your Main God Space is too domineering! Aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath?"
Yi Shuihan looked at the five quasi-emperors of the Natural Alliance with great regret. Although he expected that they would most likely refuse, if this really happened, Yi Shuihan could only say sorry in his heart.
"Die!"
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to make his move, a battle had already begun not far away. There was more than one battlefield, and one of the two sides in the battle was always the Reincarnators. Their opponents were all forces of the level of the Natural Alliance. Some had 3 or 4 of them, while others had 6 or 7.
It must be said that the Reincarnators are really powerful. In almost a short while, more than 10 Quasi-Emperors have fallen.
"Then let's begin!"
Under the horrified gazes of the Quasi-Emperors of the Natural Alliance, Yi Shuihan made his move, and he showed no mercy in doing so, instantly killing a Quasi-Emperor who had not yet reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor status, and also severely injuring a Quasi-Emperor at the peak of Quasi-Emperor status.
There is a significant gap between those at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. A powerful figure like the Emperor Father can withstand a true independent Emperor, while a weaker one is even inferior to those in the school who are not at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level.
The peak Quasi-Emperor level of the Natural Alliance is considered relatively weak. Yi Shuihan could easily take on five opponents at once, and even if two more came, he could easily defeat them.
"Those lunatics have made their move. What should we do? Should we stop them?"
"Why stop them? Anyway, with fewer potential emperors, we'll get more of the Feast Spring."
"We can't let them continue like this. Who knows if they'll turn their attention to us?"
With such a commotion, it's impossible to hide it, even though the reincarnators never intended to hide it from the beginning.
The smaller and medium-sized forces that had not yet been targeted felt a sense of impending doom and gradually united, while the larger forces remained on the sidelines, holding differing opinions on the Reincarnators' actions, but none of them actually confronted them.
"Yi Shuihan, hello. I am Ba Che. Ba Tianhun is my younger brother. Tianhun has mentioned you to me many times, saying that you are his best friend at school, and that you formed the Ba Tian Gang with him. To help Tianhun, you became the vice leader of the Ba Tian Gang..."
A very refined-looking man approached Yi Shuihan and spoke to her in a very familiar manner.
This person was from the company. Yi Shuihan roughly knew when the other party arrived that he was trying to get close to him and form an alliance. After all, Yi Shuihan was from the company. However, he never expected that this person was actually Ba Tianhun's brother.
As Yi Shuihan listened to Ba Che constantly using Ba Tianhun to build relationships, his face gradually darkened.
Ba Che was indeed a bit better than Ba Tian Hun. Seeing Yi Shui Han's expression, he guessed something and shifted the topic from the brotherhood between Ba Tian Hu and Yi Shui Han to reveal his true purpose.
In fact, Ba Che knew what kind of person his brother was and didn't believe that Ba Tianhun and Yi Shuihan had a deep relationship. He had just tried to test the waters, and the result was neither good nor bad. At least Ba Tianhun and Yi Shuihan did have a relationship, just not as good as Ba Tianhun claimed.
"On behalf of the company, I hope to form an alliance with you and advance and retreat together in the secret realm."
Ba Che said solemnly.
"I can't make that decision. Personally, I don't mind, but I don't know what Father Emperor and the others think."
"It's good that you agreed. I'll talk to them one by one."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Satisfied with Yi Shuihan's approval, Ba Che went to find his father and the others.
The reason he agreed to Ba Che so easily wasn't because of Ba Tianhun. The biggest reason was that he represented the company, and Yi Shuihan was also a part of the company. Even if they didn't form an alliance, he wouldn't stand idly by if something happened to the company. Otherwise, how would he be able to work in the company after that?
As things stand, Yi Shuihan still thinks the company is good. Even if he becomes a Chaos Emperor, he will continue to work for the company and does not plan to leave to start his own business. The company has a very strong backing, after all, that ultimate boss is someone who surpasses even the Great Dao Emperor.
I don't know how Ba Che communicated, but in the end, the strategic alliance between the school and the company was reached.
In addition, the Demon Extermination Army has also joined forces with some other forces, forming a large alliance.
After the first round of clearing by the reincarnators, only four major interest groups remained in the secret realm. One was the combination of a company and a school. The second was an alliance composed of two top forces, the Demon Extermination Army and the Multiverse Arena, along with several medium-sized forces. The third was the reincarnators from the Main God Space. The last group consisted of the remaining small, banded-together forces.
The Arena of Myriad Realms is a force established by several Great Dao Emperors. As its name suggests, its main function is to manage the arena, where beings from all the heavens and myriad realms compete. The competitors hone their skills, while the audience gains enjoyment. The competition does not simply refer to direct combat; anything that can be compared can be competed on. Normally, it's a competition of secondary professions such as alchemy and weapon crafting, but more unusual competitions can even be based on things like height and weight.
Of the remaining four major interest groups, the weakest is the small, banded-together forces, while the strongest should be the alliance between the school and the company. The difference between the God Space and the Demon Extermination Army Alliance is not that great. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan's existence, the alliance between the school and the company might not be stronger than the reincarnators of the God Space, among whom there are beings comparable to the Emperor.
Chapter 1321, The Strange Little Loli
The four interest groups were to distribute the Sufficient Spring according to their respective groups. However, before Yi Shuihan and his group could even begin negotiating the distribution, an unexpected event occurred: the Sufficient Spring, which had been constantly replenishing itself, suddenly stopped flowing and dried up completely one day.
"How could this be? It's impossible! It makes no sense at all."
"Who is it? Who did this?"
"Perhaps it's just temporary, let's wait and see."
Without the Fountain of Satiety, the feeling of hunger is not so pleasant. Quasi-Emperors can only stop absorbing the Fountain of Satiety when they can't hold on any longer, which greatly reduces their cultivation speed and makes them extremely uncomfortable.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to simplicity. Having enjoyed the state of enlightenment and cultivation, how could the quasi-emperors look down on the ordinary state? However, without the Fountain of Satiety, they are helpless.
The Demon Extermination Army was the first to discover the Satisfaction Spring. Since it was the Demon Extermination Army that discovered it, everyone would naturally think of the Demon Extermination Army first when this situation occurred. However, the Demon Extermination Army truly did not know and made a solemn oath before everyone to prove their innocence.
“If it were us, why would we do this? You can see for yourselves that we don’t have the Fountain of Satiety anymore, and our cultivation speed has to slow down.”
Ultimately, some of the quasi-emperors stayed where they were, hoping that the Fountain of Satiety would suddenly recover, while others began to search for new Fountains in other parts of the secret realm.
Yi Shuihan chose to stay. Even without the Fountain of Satiety, his cultivation speed would only be a few times slower. With the progress bar, he could clearly see his progress. The disappearance of the Fountain of Satiety wouldn't affect him much. He could just cultivate quietly and wait for the progress bar to fill up.
The main body didn't go, but Yi Shuihan's clone, Taiyi, went to find a new spring of sustenance. In this way, Yi Shuihan managed to do both things without any problems.
In a corner of the secret realm,
"There's actually a temple here?"
It had been a month since Taiyi left the Fountain of Satiety, and he had been aimlessly searching for a new one, but to no avail. He had been wandering around today with the intention of finding nothing, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a temple.
The temple is abandoned; half of one of the gates has fallen off, and the walls are completely covered with vines and moss, giving it an extremely desolate appearance.
Upon entering the temple, Yi Shuihan found no Buddha statues. To be honest, he only thought it was a temple because it looked somewhat similar to the temples in his memory.
The temple was small, with only a few rooms and a floor area of a few hundred square meters. Yi Shuihan quickly took a look around.
"We haven't found anything at all. Shouldn't we have found some lost spiritual treasure or accidentally obtained some kind of inheritance?"
This was the first time Yi Shuihan had encountered an unnatural structure in the secret realm, and he had high expectations for it, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
As Yi Shuihan returned to the gate, about to leave this place that had been causing him some distress, his expression suddenly changed. He abruptly lowered his head, his face filled with shock.
Beside him, a little girl of about 7 or 8 years old, wearing a purple dress, was holding onto his clothes with one hand. If you ignore the environment and the strangeness of the little girl's appearance, the scene would look quite harmonious.
When did she appear?
Recalling the initial discovery of the temple and the impending departure, Tai Yi couldn't find a single flaw, as if this little girl had appeared out of nowhere for no reason.
Why would a human loli appear in the secret realm? Or is she actually some kind of special life form, and what I saw was not her true appearance?
A pair of eyes stared at the little girl, as if trying to see right through her.
As Yi Shuihan looked at the little girl in the purple dress, the little girl also stared at him with her wide, adorable eyes. Her big eyes were incredibly pure, like those of a newborn baby.
"Is she really a human? No, absolutely not. How could there be a human little girl here? No, we absolutely cannot get involved with her. The most important thing is to leave as soon as possible."
If he were in a different place facing the same scene, Yi Shuihan might still be in the mood to play with the little girl. But now!
"Let go, let go of me."
He grabbed the little girl's hand, trying to make her let go, so he could run away quickly.
Unfortunately, to Taiyi's dismay, despite his best efforts, he couldn't even move the little girl's hand. The little girl looked at him with a hint of excitement, perhaps thinking that Yi Shuihan was just playing with her.
Unable to let go, he easily and decisively tore the clothes that the little girl was holding onto, hoping to get rid of her in this way.
Unfortunately, when he broke off a piece of clothing, the little girl's hand had somehow moved and grabbed another piece of clothing.
"Indeed, this speed is extraordinary..."
After silently gazing into the little girl's pure and innocent eyes for a moment, Taiyi ultimately decided not to continue tearing her clothes. He suddenly had a premonition that even if he ended up with no clothes left, the little girl would probably still be unable to escape and would instead find herself in an awkward situation.
"Well, it's better to be holding onto the clothes than to have them stick to my body, and there's nothing to worry about for the time being."
Trying to console himself, Taiyi's heart was beating much faster than usual.
With this unexpected turn of events, Yi Shuihan lost interest in continuing his search for the Spring of Sufficient Food. He focused most of his attention on the little girl, fearing she might suddenly cause trouble. Yi Shuihan was somewhat uneasy about this unexpectedly appearing little girl.
After a while, Yi Shuihan's mood calmed down a bit, because the little girl hadn't done anything else besides making him feel a little strange.
"Little girl, do you have a name? Where are your parents? Won't they worry if you come with me? Or it would be better to go home sooner!"
The little girl's innocent eyes answered Yi Shuihan, showing she hadn't understood what he was saying at all.
"Eat...eat...mmm...smack..."
Ever since she saw Yi Shuihan take out a piece of chocolate, the little girl has turned into a little foodie, and she hasn't uttered a single word other than "eat".
Food can soothe the little girl, and Yi Shuihan certainly doesn't mind some food. As a fellow foodie, he carries enough food with him to last for tens of thousands of years, so he doesn't have to worry about food at all.
And so, Taiyi, along with a strange combination of a little girl who was constantly eating, began to move around the secret realm.
Chapter 1322, The Fountain of Hunger
Meeting the foodie loli seemed to be a turning point, and from then on, Yi Shuihan kept encountering things that were originally difficult to encounter.
The ruins resemble those of a tribe, caves once inhabited by creatures, and ancient, mysterious altars...
"Do you know where there's water? You mean drinking water, something like this."
Encountering many things doesn't necessarily mean making any progress. There was still no news about the Fountain of Satiety. Bored, Yi Shuihan asked the little girl. Of course, he didn't expect her to give an answer before asking, because he had asked her many questions before, and she hadn't answered a single one.
However, this time the situation seemed slightly different. The little girl stopped eating when she saw the water sphere that Yi Shuihan had condensed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
"Could it be that......"
Such an anomaly was naturally noticed by Taiyi.
The little girl put a finger in her mouth, her brows furrowed slightly, looking completely thoughtful.
Seeing that this was too easy, he didn't urge her, lest he disrupt her train of thought, and waited quietly.
After about a minute, the little girl seemed to remember something, smiled, and pointed in a direction.
"You mean, there are some over there?"
Taiyi asked tentatively, slightly excited.
"Mmm... *smack smack*"
She nodded first, and then continued in her foodie mode.
A month later,
Taiyi's face darkened because he still hadn't found the Fountain of Satisfaction. This made him realize that just finding a direction might not be enough; he also needed to know the specific distance. However, the little girl couldn't answer this profound question.
That said, this secret realm is truly enormous, giving Taiyi the feeling that it is boundless and endless. Of course, Taiyi knows that this is just an illusion. If he really wanted to find the edge, he certainly could, but it might take hundreds or even thousands of years. The space in the secret realm is stable, so spatial travel is not possible, and even the speed of flight is not as fast as outside.
Getting a direction from a little girl is always better than searching aimlessly. After calming down, Taiyi set off again.
One month, two months, three months... one year, two years, three years...
