"Brother, if you want, I can give it to you."
Biting her lip, Aphrodite said that her love for Yi Shuihan made her not want to disappoint him, even if it would make her feel terrible.
"What's a little patience for you? I'm not a selfish jerk. If I were, I'd be worthy of your love. Love is a two-way street. Mutual respect is the most basic requirement. You don't need to compromise for me. In my presence, you can just be yourself. I love everything about you, including your flaws."
Simple words of love possess immense power; Aphrodite, listening, felt a profound sense of happiness, gazing intently at Yi Shuihan's words.
At this moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.
A goddess like Aphrodite is not easily moved, but once she does, her loyalty to her partner is extremely high. As long as Yi Shuihan doesn't do anything reckless, she will love him forever. Aphrodite has now almost reached the point where she is willing to sacrifice herself for Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan and Aphrodite stayed in the Underworld for nearly a month. The two were almost inseparable, spending every moment together, which could be considered their honeymoon.
...
"Very good. The progress this month has been quite good. If this continues, I estimate that by the time I leave this world, my personal world should be able to evolve to a level that can accommodate silver."
Because the portable world is powered by the sun, which is the embodiment of the main god, there is no need to worry about the spiritual energy becoming thin due to expansion. The world can be expanded and grown with peace of mind.
The only thing hindering the world's growth was living beings, but the high-quality souls introduced from the Saint Seiya world filled this gap, allowing the portable world to develop at a high speed, saving tens of thousands of years.
"Currently, besides myself, the only original carriers are in Athena's Sanctuary. The other main gods occupy less than 10% of them. We can't very well ask Athena for people, can we? Our skin just doesn't have enough thickness!"
Yi Shuihan was not the kind of person who would forget kindness. He would not repay Athena's help, but at least he would not repay kindness with enmity. Therefore, even though he knew that he could gain more benefits by snatching people from Athena, Yi Shuihan still did not do so.
Instead of trying to steal Athena's essence, Yi Shuihan had no interest in going after the other main gods. Their combined power only amounted to a mere tenth of his original power; he couldn't be bothered to go after them one by one.
Rob.
As a result, Yi Shuihan suddenly felt that he had nothing to do and could only wait for the moment when he would receive the benefits of the world's advancement.
"Suddenly I feel restless with nothing to do! But, is my thought a little bit pathetic?"
Regardless of what Yi Shuihan thought, he couldn't go looking for trouble, so he went back into cultivation mode for the rest of the time.
Aphrodite also learned about Yi Shuihan's cultivation system from him and even tried it herself. However, because she had already cultivated her microcosm system to the ninth sense, her progress in cultivating the Taoist system was too slow, and she eventually gave up trying to cultivate.
Of course, not cultivating the Dao doesn't mean you can't become stronger. The Creation Jade Butterfly is such a high-level treasure that even though Yi Shuihan's is incomplete, it still greatly helped Aphrodite, allowing her to advance from Silver Eight Star to Silver Nine Star, and in terms of realm, she has completely stood at the pinnacle of this world.
Yi Shuihan placed the Jade Tablets of Creation in front of Aphrodite, making her feel Yi Shuihan's high regard for her; his love for her had reached its peak and was off the charts.
Aphrodite had foresight; she knew that if the Jade Disc of Creation were to appear, the chief gods like Zeus would frantically vie for it, and would probably disregard any advancement of the world.
She told Yi Shuihan that if she had the Jade Tablet of Creation, she felt she could break through the limits of this world and advance to become a Gold-level expert.
This didn't surprise Yi Shuihan too much. After all, this was the Jade Tablet of Creation, a treasure that made a Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor's realm was estimated to be at least at the peak of the Gold Realm, or if there was a realm above the Gold Realm, the Dao Ancestor should be that unknown level.
If someone at the Saint level knew of the existence of the Jade Disc of Creation, he would definitely be willing to exchange it for dozens of worlds like the Saint Seiya series.
.
The value of the Jade Disc of Creation far surpasses its value in the Saint Seiya world. Even Yi Shuihan, who has had it for so long, still feels fortunate. His character is truly exceptional. The Jade Disc of Creation was delivered to him in this way, and he even has a sense of unreality.
Yi Shuihan lived a very easy life, cultivating his strength, getting intimate with Aphrodite, and having his clones check on the situation in the underworld from time to time and give guidance to his fighters.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Yi Shuihan's strength had improved significantly. Although he had not yet reached the level of Golden Immortal, he was on the verge of breaking through.
Under normal circumstances, even with the help of the Jade Tablet of Creation, he wouldn't have progressed so quickly. Naturally, Aphrodite's help was indispensable. There is something in the world called dual cultivation. Although Aphrodite is not a cultivator, she has reached the ninth level of Silver. The effect of dual cultivation cannot be maximized, but there are still many benefits.
The Silver 6-Star Peak is the system's current assessment of Yi Shuihan's realm. Yi Shuihan can now easily defeat three times his former self from six months ago. This also means that Zeus's threat to him is getting lower and lower, almost non-existent. Even if all the main gods attacked together, Yi Shuihan could easily suppress them.
Yi Shuihan felt he was fully capable of single-handedly taking on an entire realm.
Chapter 879, The Celestial Palace Seeks Aid
Celestial Palace requests aid
Nearly a year has passed since the great changes on Earth, and the situation on Earth has now stabilized. The humans who remain are the true elites, most of whom are warriors who have experienced battles. There are only a small number of children, and the elderly and weak are almost non-existent, because those who died during the migration or were promoted to non-elderly and weak status because of the crystals provided.
Without any deliberate intervention from God, the Earth was divided into three parts: the land was occupied by humans and monsters, while the sea was the domain of sea creatures.
Logically speaking, although humanity is much stronger than before, it is still not strong enough to become one of the three superpowers, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Humans are ultimately favored by the gods. Although the gods did not specifically target the monsters, if these monsters were to launch a full-scale attack on humans, their fate would certainly not be good.
For example, in the four cities of Lushan—Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon—under the protection of Yi Shuihan, a monster army of tens of millions attempted to destroy Vermilion Bird City four months ago. The leading monster was a Bronze 7-star, equivalent to the 7th Sense of the Cosmos, while the strongest monster in Vermilion Bird City was only a Bronze 4-star.
With such a vast difference in strength, without the intervention of other external forces, Suzaku City was destined to be destroyed. However, it was precisely because these monsters came with such ferocity that they attracted the attention of Yi Shuihan. Then, with a casual palm strike from a distance, the entire monster army was wiped out. Some residents of Suzaku City were not even aware that these monsters had come to attack Suzaku City.
Monsters are intelligent too. Knowing of the existence of a powerful being like Yi Shuihan, they naturally dared not attack human cities and simply stayed obediently in their own territory.
In just one year, an ordinary beast has grown into a Bronze 7-star level. This also shows how much the world is about to advance and how much it will change everything. It is estimated that a few more beast gods may appear when the world advances, provided that the other gods do not interfere.
"The warriors have all reached the peak of the Eighth Sense, but only Aizen has the Ninth Sense. The will of the gods is indeed not so easy to break through!"
Yi Shuihan's clone had just finished checking Xiao Jie and the others' cultivation progress and said with some emotion.
To go from nothing to almost becoming a god in about a year is something no one would believe, not even the gods. Cultivating one's inner universe is not that simple. Even a goddess like Athena could not achieve this effect with personal guidance. It would be impossible to do so even in a few hundred years, let alone a year.
The warriors of Apollo, from ancient mythology to the present day, have gone through countless millennia, yet they still only possess the eighth sense and haven't broken through to the ninth sense. This is certainly not because Apollo doesn't want them to break through to the ninth sense, but because he is powerless to do so.
On one hand, these gods did not cultivate their power themselves; most of them became gods at birth and then accumulated power over a long period of time. On the other hand, due to the characteristics of the microcosm, only those with extraordinary talent can become gods. Without the recognition of the world's will, it is extremely difficult to become a god.
If Yi Shuihan were to train a few immortals, it would probably be quite easy for him. However, regarding the Ninth Sense, he wanted to cultivate someone who wouldn't end up like Apollo Pei.
Raising one is difficult, but it's not easy either. Fortunately, with the existence of the Jade Butterfly of Creation, under its influence, Xiao Jie and the others will eventually break through; it's just a matter of time.
"A message has come from the Celestial Palace; they want to request reinforcements?"
Holding the latest news in his hand, Yi Shuihan revealed a playful smile.
The so-called Asgard naturally refers to Norse mythology, Odin's territory. Odin was not an unknown god; if he hadn't been suppressed by Poseidon, he might have been one of the chief gods.
When Yi Shuihan and Poseidon were chatting, they talked about Odin. According to Poseidon, Odin called himself the King of the Gods, which displeased Zeus, who then sent Poseidon to destroy him. However, Odin was still very powerful, and Poseidon could not completely destroy him. He only crippled Odin and sealed his soul.
Even when sealed away, a god like Odin can still unleash power that completely overwhelms any god below him, though only within Asgard in Norse mythology. Therefore, he remains orthodox in Norse mythology and is worshipped by humans.
The Nordic countries' plea for help is definitely not a genuine plea; it's Odin trying to cause trouble.
"Should we go see Odin?"
After a moment's thought, Yi Shuihan made a decisive decision: to go and see. If Odin had no ill intentions towards him, that would be fine. But if Odin dared to show his claws, Yi Shuihan wouldn't hesitate to completely annihilate him.
Without taking anyone else with him, Yi Shuihan went to the Nordic Asgard Palace alone.
Upon arriving at Asgard, Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that her initial assumptions seemed somewhat flawed, because Asgard was indeed under attack, and...
This attacker is quite powerful; his leader is a god, a true god.
"Please come over for a chat, Lord Hades."
Before Yi Shuihan could learn the details, a slightly aged voice rang in his mind.
"It's Odin."
Moreover, the title "Pluto" suggests that a certain deity has recently been in contact with him!
With his exceptional skills and daring, Yi Shuihan headed straight for Odin's location.
A towering statue of Odin, tens of meters tall, appeared before Yi Shuihan, and Odin's remnant soul resided within this statue.
With a sliver of his attention diverted, Yi Shuihan entered the statue, where the outer seal had no effect on him whatsoever.
This was a white space, and Odin's remnant soul was like a huge sphere of light in the center of the space, radiating astonishing divine power.
Even in his fallen state, Odin still appears stronger than most gods. It's estimated that even if Death himself came here, he and Odin would be evenly matched.
Yi Shuihan's divided spirit transformed into Yi Shuihan's appearance, and the large sphere of light also conjured the image of an old man in front of him, almost identical to the statue outside.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
He asked very directly.
Odin didn't take Yi Shuihan's directness to heart, but instead slowly recounted the story.
It turns out that the god attacking Asgard in Norse mythology was one of Odin's former adversaries, a defeated foe of Odin, and was mistaken for his enemy.
They were already dead, but now they've come back with a vengeance, taking advantage of Odin's imprisonment to completely destroy Norse mythology and leave Odin all alone.
"This god's predecessor was a winged god, and his current strength is only comparable to someone who has just broken through to the ninth sense. However, he is still beyond my ability to deal with. I would like to ask you to help me kill him."
Chapter 880, Gungnir
Gungnir
"He's not telling the truth; there's definitely something he's hiding." This was Yi Shuihan's first reaction after hearing Odin's words, but he didn't point it out directly.
"Why should I help you kill the Winged God? I have no grudge against the Winged God."
Just kidding. If Yi Shuihan did whatever Odin told him to do, what would he amount to? If he wasn't bored, he wouldn't have come here even if it was Odin's invitation.
"Once it's done, the Winged God's divine status will be yours, and you can also do whatever you want with his subordinates."
Odin waved his hand, appearing extremely generous.
"Do you think I look like a fool?"
Yi Shuihan looked at Odin as if he were an idiot, his contempt undisguised.
"Ahem," Odin was also a little embarrassed by the look. "I know that using a divine power is a way to become a god. With this method, you can have a god's subordinate."
"I know this method too."
Speaking expressionlessly, Yi Shuihan was already somewhat dissatisfied; Odin was completely playing him for a fool!
Odin also noticed the change in Yi Shuihan's emotions, and his expression changed. Finally, with a look of great reluctance, he said, "As long as you kill the Winged God, I am willing to give you my artifact Gungnir."
Gungnir is a long spear, also known as the Spear of Eternity. Its ability is quite simple yet powerful: "It will always hit its target when thrown." It is a divine spear that never misses and can pierce through anything it hits.
Even among the many weapons of the main gods, this spear is renowned. Even Poseidon once wanted to obtain it, but he did not succeed.
"With Gungnir around, you wouldn't need me to lift a finger!"
Yi Shuihan was somewhat tempted by Gungnir, mainly because the gun's capabilities were indeed very impressive.
A divine artifact can greatly enhance one's strength. According to Yi Shuihan's estimation, even someone with a sixth sense and such a divine artifact could easily destroy a low-star silver-ranked opponent. The so-called Winged God undoubtedly falls into this category.
Odin's power can only cover Asgard. He is indeed powerless unless the Winged God enters this range. However, Yi Shuihan does not believe that Odin does not have a few subordinates with the Seventh Sense. What about the God Warriors?
Odin then explained Yi Shuihan's doubts.
“Gangnir is no longer in my possession. Before I was sealed away, I placed it in a peculiar place that even ordinary gods cannot reach; only those who have reached the level of a chief god can do so.”
"So you're saying you want me to take action based on just one piece of information, while I have to go find Gungnir myself?"
"Only I know about that place, otherwise Poseidon would have taken it long ago."
Odin was very confident when he said this.
"Tell me the location first, and I'll deal with the Winged God after I get Gungnir."
Yi Shuihan put forward his own requirements.
"That's impossible! What if you get Gungnir but don't make a move? Why don't you kill the Winged God first, and then I'll tell you where Gungnir is."
"Then why should I believe that if the Winged God dies, you will tell me where Gungnir is?"
"I would rather face the Winged God myself than face a powerful being who killed the former King of the Underworld."
After looking deeply at Odin, Yi Shuihan suddenly felt speechless. What Odin said actually made a lot of sense.
"Alright, you've convinced me. I'll help you solve your problem, and then you tell me where Gungnir is. If you dare to breach the contract, I guarantee you'll die a more gruesome death than Hades."
"At that time, naturally, as long as the Winged God dies, you will be able to obtain the location of Gungnir."
Although he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, Yi Shuihan still planned to kill Yu Yishen first and deal with the rest later. With powerful strength as his foundation, he was not afraid of conspiracies.
After reaching an agreement, Yi Shuihan left the Odin statue directly, unaware that after he left, the large white orb representing Odin completely turned into a large black orb and began uttering some abnormal words.
"I will break the seal soon, and the position of God-King will surely be mine again. Zeus, just you wait, I will definitely not lose to you this time..."
In a faraway place, Zeus suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, gazed at Northern Europe, and smiled.
"So the old man finally couldn't hold back anymore? Too bad, everything you've done is under my control."
The Winged God was easy to find because he did not hide his aura. Of course, even if he had, it would have been completely useless against Yi Shuihan.
"Winged God is quite fitting, but I think calling him Birdman might be better."
The guy Odin called the Winged God had a pair of bone spurs on his back and a gloomy middle-aged face; he looked like an evil big boss.
"Now I feel completely relieved. I was worried that the so-called Winged God was a very beautiful young woman. If that were the case, I really couldn't just kill her for no reason. Someone who looks like that is definitely not a good person. Killing her is doing a service to the people."
The Winged God was directing his recently subdued monsters to attack the Celestial Palace, completely unaware of Yi Shuihan's arrival.
A moment later, the Winged God dismissed all the monsters, leaving him alone in the same spot.
“Odin, hehe, you are Odin, then what am I? There can only be one true Odin.”
