Multiverse Skill System

Page 467

Yi Shuihan watched quietly as the powerful figures in the main hall expressed their opinions, his emotions not fluctuating much, since he could come and go as he pleased.

"It seems that not choosing to become a local when I first came to this prehistoric world was really a good choice!"

Just as the noise in the main hall grew louder, the master of Zixiao Palace finally arrived. Hongjun appeared silently in the main hall, sitting in the same spot where he had been preaching before.

The first person to discover Hongjun was not Yi Shuihan, but Houtu. Although Yi Shuihan's combat power was comparable to that of a saint, her perception was still slightly weaker than that of a saint in normal circumstances.

The other powerful beings gradually noticed Hongjun's presence. They were about to say something, but upon seeing Hongjun's expressionless face, they all fell silent.

In a very short time, all the sounds in the hall disappeared, and all the powerful beings turned their gazes to Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor. When it came to the backbone of the prehistoric world, in their eyes, only Hongjun could take on the role.

“You’ve all heard about this from Taiyi. It’s true that there has been an invasion from other worlds. One of them is the world Taiyi mentioned, which has 33 saints and is a technological world. The other world is a wizarding world with 24 saints.”

Even though Yi Shuihan had just spoken, Hongjun's confirmation still greatly surprised the powerful figures. Before Hongjun spoke, they still had a sliver of hope in their hearts, but now that hope was completely gone.

Some powerful beings actually know what technology is, and even wizards know it. This is largely thanks to Yi Shuihan, since the system is all-encompassing, including systems on the technology and wizarding sides. Technological items and some wizarding-related items have also spread in a small area of ​​the prehistoric world.

However, the advanced systems that these powerful beings buy are not based on technology or wizardry, so these related systems are generally relatively low-level. They never thought that they could grow to the level of a saint through technology before, although even if they had thought of it, they would not have enough value points to buy the system.

"Teacher, please tell us! What should we do?"

"Teacher, we will listen to you."

"Whatever the teacher says goes."

Those below all expressed their opinions, appearing to follow Hongjun's lead without question, seemingly united in purpose. However, it remains to be seen how many of them were truly sincere.

"Killing the intruder is a meritorious act, and merit can lead to sainthood."

Hongjun didn't say anything else, but just threw out this sentence, and the whole place fell silent. Those who had only offered symbolic support suddenly lit up.

Who among those present wouldn't want to become a saint? Moreover, even for Houtu and Nuwa, who had already become saints, merit could enhance their strength, or at the very least, it could be used to refine merit-based spiritual treasures.

Nothing wins people's hearts more than the most practical interests. Before there are benefits, these powerful beings will certainly do their part to protect the prehistoric world, but they will never go all out. At most, they will do something passively when things come to them. There are definitely not many people who take the initiative. Some of them will definitely still think that if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up.

Killing intruders now brings merit, so these powerful beings must be frantically searching for them. Intruders are no longer a nuisance, but have become a benefit. Perhaps some powerful beings are even thinking that the intruders are actually quite a good thing! Without intruders, they would have no hope of becoming saints. Even with intruders, the hope is still slim, but at least they can still see them.

Just as the powerful beings were filled with surging emotions, Hongjun once again unleashed a powerful move on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.

"This is the Heavenly Merit Ranking. The things you do for the Primordial World will be converted into merit points and displayed on it. Merit points can be exchanged for most items in the Primordial World. If you have enough merit points, exchanging for Primordial Purple Qi and innate treasures will not be a problem."

This Heavenly Merit Ranking is simply a manifestation of merit, but its existence further fuels everyone's competitive spirit. After all, no one wants to be outdone by others, so these guys will definitely work hard to earn merit points in order to rank their names higher on it.

Even saints cannot completely detach themselves from fame and fortune, let alone these great men who are not saints.

Yi Shuihan could already imagine the miserable state of those advance troops. Saint-level beings certainly couldn't enter other worlds so easily, and non-saint-level beings would surely suffer heavy casualties when facing the hunting of powerful beings from the primordial era.

Of course, the technological and wizarding worlds will not sit idly by and watch their troops be hunted down. They will surely think of ways to contain them. But until then, the grand feast of the primordial world is inevitable.

"Merit points? They should be able to be used to exchange for advanced world origins! Maybe I should get some merit points too."

Yi Shuihan is not from the Primordial World, so he cannot obtain merit points. However, he can have others exchange merit points for items and then give them to him. He only needs to give some low-value items, such as orthodox methods for achieving sainthood.

Chapter 1190, Anti-Invasion Alliance

The cultivation techniques for achieving sainthood are still quite popular in worlds like the Primordial World. For some people, they are comparable in value to the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for achieving sainthood.

However, within the company, these methods of achieving sainthood are commonplace; not everyone can afford them, but most people can easily obtain them.

Within the company, employees are even allowed to choose a method of achieving sainthood, free of charge, as long as they reach the threshold for sainthood. Although there is only one method available.

That's the advantage of having connections—you can see further from a higher vantage point! Even Newton once said that he achieved his later success by standing on the shoulders of giants.

The Heavenly Merit List is an extremely magical spiritual treasure, or more accurately, an innate spiritual treasure. In terms of grade, it is top-grade. Its main body is a very large stone tablet, about several hundred feet high, which was eventually placed at the entrance of Zixiao Palace by Hongjun.

Its true form is watched over by Hongjun to ensure its safety. Unless a world triggers a dozen or so saints at once, the Heavenly Merit Ranking is not in danger of being destroyed.

Of course, those who want to see the list don't need to come to Zixiao Palace. The Heavenly Merit List has a split function. All the Great Luo Golden Immortals present can receive a split of the list and take it with them to view it at any time.

Even if it is divided into two parts, it is still a pretty good spiritual treasure, at least in terms of hardness it is comparable to a typical innate spiritual treasure.

"This is basically a mobile task publisher!"

Besides displaying the rankings, the split-body function also displays the tasks. These tasks are naturally assigned by the Heavenly Dao. Although the Heavenly Dao can notify anyone at any time, it is better to use the Heavenly Dao Merit Ranking to notify people in a more intuitive way. If the Heavenly Dao had to notify everyone about all the tasks, wouldn't the Heavenly Dao seem a bit out of line?

As the Heavenly Dao, which transcends all things and beings, maintaining mystery and grandeur is a necessary thing for Him. If there hadn't been no other way this time, He wouldn't have revealed His presence so openly.

"Even I have it?"

Yi Shuihan was somewhat surprised when he received the Heavenly Dao Merit Ranking Split, because he had previously thought he would be excluded. After all, the Heavenly Dao had not notified him, clearly not intending to let him participate. He had even considered how to get someone else to help him exchange for a high-level world origin, but now it seemed that he could put that matter aside for the time being.

Hongjun, true to his aloof nature, disappeared from the sight of the powerful figures again without saying much, his meaning clear: go about your business.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, how about we find a place to chat?"

"Who is there?"

"There are many, most of which you are familiar with."

Zhen Yuanzi pointed to a spot not far away, where there were dozens of people, most of whom were famous powerful beings in the prehistoric world. The majority of them were quasi-saints, including the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun and his wife, the Ancestral Witches, and some rogue quasi-saints. Even if there were any Great Luo Golden Immortals among them, they were all Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Compared to the previous thousands, these people only account for less than one-tenth, yet they make up 80% of the total combat power, while the remaining thousands only account for 20%.

"Of course, but where should we talk?"

"Nuwa Palace, the Palace of the Sage Nuwa".

"no problem."

The location was moved to the Nuwa Palace.

"Regardless of what happened in the past or what grudges we may have, I hope that everyone can put everything aside for the time being and unite against external enemies. To this end, I suggest forming an alliance. The main function of the alliance is to help each other when alliance members are attacked by outsiders, and not to openly or secretly attack other alliance members."

Hongyun said slowly.

"Wow, this is Hongyun. He's like a seasoned veteran. Has he really developed high emotional intelligence?"

To be honest, Yi Shuihan would rather believe that it was Di Jun who said this, or even Zhen Yuanzi and Di Jiang. Yi Shuihan would find it easier to accept what they said.

“I agree with Hongyun’s opinion. If we don’t unite now, then we are really being unreasonable. I, Dijun, am willing to temporarily put aside our enmity with the Wu Clan until the invaders are driven back.”

As expected of a qualified emperor, Di Jun immediately stood up and spoke after Hong Yun spoke. It must be said that this freak actually gained a lot of goodwill. At least everyone felt that Di Jun was reasonable and could be relied on in critical moments.

Following closely behind, Di Jun also made a statement, expressing his willingness to temporarily set aside his enmity with the demon race. He still managed to appear righteous and awe-inspiring. However, because Di Jun made his statement first and the witch race made theirs later, the effect was not as good as the former.

"I also agree to form an offensive and defensive alliance."

"I agree."

"We, the Three Pure Ones, also think it's feasible."

A large number of people expressed their opinions, stating that the establishment of the alliance was unstoppable.

"Everyone listen to me."

Hongyun spoke again. He wasn't the most powerful or the highest-ranking person present, but because he was the first to propose establishing an alliance, he held a different position in everyone's hearts. As soon as he spoke, everyone respectfully quieted down.

"Damn it, he stole my scene."

Di Jun looked at the confident Hong Yun, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He had actually been thinking of proposing the establishment of an alliance, but he hadn't expected Hong Yun to speak first.

"The alliance can't be formed by us alone; we need more people to participate. After all, fighting invaders requires everyone's concerted efforts. We can serve as the core of the alliance and then call on more people to participate."

"An alliance cannot be without a leader. I suggest establishing an alliance council, with one representative each from Nuwa, Houtu, the Three Pure Ones, the demon race, and the witch race, plus Zhen Yuanzi, forming an eight-person council to manage the alliance."

This establishes the decision-making level. Hongyun did not include himself in the decision-making level, which was a very good move. At least no one can say anything about his proposals, since he has no position in the decision-making level. In fact, he is in cahoots with Zhen Yuanzi and has a say in the matter.

Of the eight chosen, no one would object to the selection of two sages, and no one would object to the selection of the two races of witch and demon as the two overlords of the prehistoric world. The Three Pure Ones and Zhen Yuanzi are slightly problematic, with the former being more problematic, since the Three Pure Ones represent three people, while the sages and the two overlords only have one.

As for Zhen Yuanzi, everyone could barely accept his words. Zhen Yuanzi had quite a few connections among the rogue cultivators, and he was also good friends with Hong Yun, who proposed this alliance. So, out of respect for Hong Yun, his position was basically settled.

Chapter 1191, Joining the Parliament

"Hongyun's move was quite good. He basically shifted the conflict to the Three Pure Ones, so Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't attract too much attention."

Yi Shuihan watched quietly without offering his opinion, sensing that what followed would be very interesting.

Sure enough, the moment after Hongyun finished speaking, someone spoke up. It was a quasi-saint from the demon race who spoke.

"I disagree. Why should the Three Pure Ones occupy three positions? I think they are a unified whole and one position is enough. Our demon race has many soldiers and generals, and will inevitably be the main force in resisting invasion in the future. One position is not enough; we need at least three."

“Our Wu clan needs at least three, while the Three Pure Ones can only count as one.”

"Why eight positions? I propose that everyone present become a member, and we can resolve issues by voting."

"It was Fellow Daoist Hongyun who proposed the alliance, so he should also have a place."

Everyone offered their opinions.

When Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian, two of the Three Pure Ones, heard that the Wu and Yao clans thought they were only one of the Three Pure Ones, their expressions were extremely unpleasant, especially Yuanshi Tianzun, whose face turned as black as hell.

Lao Tzu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about anything at all.

"Shut up, everyone."

Yuanshi suddenly shouted, and at the same time, he released his aura, which belonged to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, without hesitation. More than half of the people present felt that they could not breathe under this aura.

"Yuanshi, what do you mean by this? Let's discuss the matter at hand. Do you want to fight?"

Di Jun said with a dissatisfied expression.

“That’s right, Yuanshi, you’ve gone too far. If you have a problem, just say it. You’re just using your power to bully people.”

This time it's the Ancestral Witch Gonggong. The Three Pure Ones are indeed strong, and they also have the innate treasure bestowed by Hongjun. They are basically in the strongest tier among Quasi-Saints. However, the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan are not to be trifled with either. They even dare to confront Saints, so naturally they are not afraid of Yuanshi. Moreover, it is clear that Yuanshi is indeed in the wrong now.

With someone taking the lead, others naturally dared to cheer, and for a time, the calls for attacking Yuanshi were constant.

"you......"

Yuanshi was furious. He had never been insulted like this before, so he took out the Pangu Banner and made a scene.

"Second brother."

Lao Tzu pressed down on Yuan Shi's shoulder and shook his head slightly.

"Brother!?"

Pressed down like that, Yuanshi calmed down and realized that if he really used force, he would not only fail to gain any advantage, but would also mess things up. He could only snort coldly and give up his plan to take action.

“I, too, only occupy one spot among the Three Pure Ones, but the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan can only occupy one spot each. Because of this, there are only 6 seats, which could result in a 3-on-3 situation. Therefore, I propose that Fellow Daoist Taiyi also join the council and become a member of the council. This way, there will be 7 seats, which can avoid a 3-on-3 situation.”

Lao Tzu spoke calmly, but his words caused a variety of reactions among those present.

There weren't many people present who genuinely wanted Taiyi to join the parliament, but they didn't have the guts to oppose it, so the room fell silent for a moment.

"What the hell am I doing? Why did you drag me into this?"

Yi Shuihan, who had been watching the show the whole time, was a little speechless. He hadn't expected Laozi to say that.

Yi Shuihan wasn't particularly interested in joining this so-called council. In his view, as long as one had the strength, it didn't matter whether one joined the council or not. In fact, if one joined the council, someone might use the title to make him work for the Primordial World.

"I refuse..."

Just as he was about to refuse to join the council on the grounds that he was not a prehistoric human, the system's task finally arrived at this moment.

"As for this mission, I absolutely have to join this council. Leading the three victories of the prehistoric world and the technological world or the wizarding world, it would be quite difficult if I didn't join the council."

"Holy Spirit, why is the mission being issued now? Shouldn't it have been issued as soon as we met Apache?"

At this moment, Yi Shuihan also voiced his doubts.

"As the host's strength increases, the frequency of mission issuance will decrease, because each mission reward requires the system to spend a lot of energy, and generating a mission takes a certain amount of time."

"That's it!"

It's impossible for Yi Shuihan not to be disappointed by the system's answer, but he can accept it. After all, if the system frequently issued tasks with such good rewards, he would think there was something wrong with the system. The current situation is more in line with common sense.

Yi Shuihan was very satisfied with the reward for this mission, so he naturally chose to accept the mission and changed his stance. From now on, he would no longer be a bystander, but would personally participate in the alliance. At least until the mission was completed, he would definitely be one of the most concerned people.

Can I say a few words?

Yi Shuihan cleared his throat and said.

"Of course you can, just say so! I'd like to see who dares to bother you."

Houtu was the first to speak up, as if anyone who opposed her now would be in for a world of hurt.

Di Jun glanced at Di Jiang silently, conveying a look that said, "You should control your own sister," while Di Jiang returned a look of helplessness.

Laozi of the Three Pure Ones supports Yi Shuihan, which represents the support of the Three Pure Ones. Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and Yi Shuihan have a good relationship and will not oppose him. The Wu Clan cannot say anything because Houtu has expressed her opinion. As for the other powerful beings, they are well aware of Yi Shuihan's ruthlessness. Kunpeng, Styx, and Donghuang Taiyi are all his followers standing behind him. Who would dare to sing a different tune? No one!

"Actually, I am also from another world, so I shouldn't be on the side of the Primordial World. However, I have been in the Primordial World for some time, made many friends, and interacted with most of the people here. We got along quite well, so naturally I don't want anything to happen to the Primordial World, nor do I want anything to happen to my friends. Therefore, if I were to enter the council, I would definitely stand on the side of the Primordial World if the Primordial World and the invaders clashed (at least the first three times)."

"Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to. It depends on what you think."

“I agree to let Taiyi join the parliament.”

Houtu was the first to come out in support.
