After spending a few years in the Creation Realm, Yi Shuihan returned to the branch, while his clone Taiyi remained in the Creation Realm. Although he had awakened and fully recovered from his injuries, he still needed some time to reorganize and fully take control of his rapidly increasing strength.

Chapter 1415, The Arrival of a Big Shot

"A very important person is about to visit our branch! Should I prepare to receive them?"

When Yi Shuihan first received the news, he was somewhat skeptical. After confirming it several times, he realized that it was no joke and that a very important person was indeed coming.

For Yi Shuihan, who is at the Enlightenment Realm, the person who can be called a great figure should at least be the one who creates the Dao. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for someone of the same level to use the phrase "let him grace us with his presence" and even ask him to welcome him.

Of course, at the very least, one must be the creator of the Dao, and there is also a certain possibility that one will become the Great Dao Emperor.

Whether it's the Creator of the Dao or the Great Dao Emperor, they couldn't have suddenly remembered this Chaos City branch, so there must have been something that Yi Shuihan didn't know about.

Originally, Yi Shuihan had planned to adjust his state and break through to the Chuangdao realm in the next few years, but due to this news from the company, he chose not to break through for the time being.

According to company sources, that important person should be arriving soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, but definitely no more than a year from now.

"Since you specifically asked me to greet you, then I'll go and greet you."

As the leader of the branch's guardians, Yi Shuihan was actually the highest-ranking person in the entire branch, also holding the title of branch head. With a single order, someone would immediately arrange the welcoming ceremony.

And you know what? It turned out quite well. There are specific regulations for this kind of welcoming ceremony within the company, so as long as you follow them, it will be fine. Therefore, it was done very quickly.

Because the exact arrival time was uncertain, the prepared personnel remained on standby, not doing anything else during this period, and would immediately take their positions once the important person arrived.

Yi Shuihan had a good attitude and didn't go into seclusion. Instead, he simply enjoyed some food or played some virtual online games not far from the branch.

Online games are quite popular across the myriad worlds, because if you play well in a game and become a master, you can gain enhancements in terms of advancement. At that time, your spirit will replenish your body, and it is normal to become a strong person.

Many sects even specifically recruit gaming experts as disciples. For many ordinary beings, playing virtual reality games is a way to become stronger. After all, the myriad worlds are so vast that even if they have talent, they cannot join a good sect. The reason is simply that the distance is too far. However, as long as they make a name for themselves in the online game, those sects will take the initiative to contact them.

Yi Shuihan had heard that many worlds were developed solely through online games, and that games were used to decide everything from major national affairs to minor civil disputes.

Life is truly as lonely as snow.

His previously dull eyes suddenly brightened, and Yi Shuihan raised his head and sighed. Just now, he had just completed the ultimate achievement in a world called "One Man Destroys a World," annihilating all living beings in a world and becoming the world lord in the game, which also meant the complete end of the game.

When he achieved the status of a Realm Lord, countless messages immediately came his way, all trying to recruit him. He even received an invitation from a True Saint to become his disciple, but of course he refused.

Yi Shuihan's refusal was simple: he blocked all the people who sent him messages. Doing so would definitely offend some people, but Yi Shuihan didn't care at all. Would a giant care about the feelings of an ant? Besides, those guys weren't even ants to Yi Shuihan.

"Waiter, another bottle of Drunken Emperor wine, and a few more of our signature dishes."

"Okay, wait a moment, sir."

The service was very fast; they said "just a moment" and it really was just a few seconds.

Yi Shuihan is currently at a tavern called Shiwei, which combines delicious food and fine wine, with an oriental style.

Behind this food was once a Chaos Emperor, but that Chaos Emperor has now fallen. It is now run by a Quasi-Emperor. Since most of them have lost the backing of the Chaos Emperor, they are living in relative peace.

"That gentleman is really extravagant. I've been watching him for a while now. He's already drunk ten bottles of Drunken Emperor wine, plus the snacks. Tsk tsk, it would take me a million years of work to earn that much!"

"They have the means to be so extravagant! You'd better keep quiet, or you'll be in trouble if you offend them."

"Hey! He's gone. He didn't eat much of the new dishes and wine."

The spot where Yi Shuihan had been standing was now empty, leaving behind only a Chaos Crystal.

At the main gate of the company branch, the welcoming ceremony had already begun. Basically, except for a few places where guards had to be stationed, all the employees from the other company branches were present, totaling several thousand employees at the gate.

When Yi Shuihan appeared, that important figure also happened to appear in everyone's sight.

The first thing I saw was a burly man wearing a black vest and trousers, and he was barefoot.

Why could they tell at a glance that this was the important person they were waiting for? There was no reason; as soon as you saw him, you would naturally feel ashamed of yourself.

Yi Shuihan's first impression upon seeing this person was similar, but he quickly shook off the influence and realized that it was merely a special aura, or the effect of the other person restraining themselves.

Through the company's verification methods, Yi Shuihan confirmed that the other party was indeed the important person he was about to meet.

"Creator of the Dao? No, most likely a Great Dao Emperor."

Although Yi Shuihan was not a Dao Creator, his strength had already reached the level of a Dao Creator. He faced Dao Creators with virtually no pressure. However, he was somewhat flustered in front of this important figure, and the reason was self-evident.

"Yi Shuihan, leading the members of the Chaos City Company, welcomes your arrival."

The other company employee was speechless, but Yi Shuihan was still able to control his actions.

"Little one, we meet again."

"Ok?"

Have we met before? Yi Shuihan quickly searched his memory, comparing it repeatedly, and finally found a clue deep in his memory, his eyes showing a hint of understanding.

"Looks like you've remembered. Alright, let's go inside and talk about it."

As he spoke, the big man walked toward the branch office, with Yi Shuihan following closely behind, half a step behind. The other employees followed behind Yi Shuihan. Although the big man had come as a guest, he did not seem to have any sense of being a guest at all. He seemed to be the one in charge here.

The welcome seemed a bit anticlimactic, but fortunately, the person being welcomed didn't seem to mind too much.

This burly man's true identity is indeed a Great Dao Emperor, and Yi Shuihan had even witnessed his battle. He was one of the two Emperors Yi Shuihan saw fighting at headquarters that time, the Poison Heart Emperor.

Chapter 1416, The Real Intention

At the pavilion in the middle of the lake,

The Poison Heart Emperor held a cup of spiritual tea, gently sniffing it, a comfortable expression on his face, while Yi Shuihan quietly watched him from across the table.

He was clearly a burly, rugged man, and drinking tea would seem rather inappropriate for him. However, when it came to the Poison Heart Emperor, it didn't feel out of place at all. The reason for this was that his unique aura made everything seem reasonable.

Ever since meeting this Poison Heart Emperor, Yi Shuihan has never stopped trying to guess the other party's intentions.

Logically speaking, the Poison Heart Emperor and Yi Shuihan had no connection. Their meeting at the headquarters was purely coincidental. In fact, the other party unintentionally helped Yi Shuihan. If it weren't for that great battle, Teria wouldn't have let Yi Shuihan off so easily.

Yi Shuihan wasn't worried that the Poison Heart Emperor would target him because of Baihuaxiang. After all, he and Baihuaxiang no longer had any official relationship. Most importantly, his backing was not weak, and the Poison Heart Emperor was no match for his master.

Of course, one thing is one thing, and another is another. No matter how strong your backing is, it can't compare to your own strength. You have to be strong yourself to forge iron! If Yi Shuihan were a Great Dao Emperor at this moment, he would definitely not care about the Poison Heart Emperor's intentions as much as he does now.

"Phew, that feels great. I really feel better in this kind of environment."

To Yi Shuihan's astonishment, the Poison Heart Emperor did not drink the tea. Instead, he suddenly stuck his little finger into the cup, and the tea quickly turned black, looking extremely poisonous and emitting an intense fragrance, but it was deadly. Even Yi Shuihan felt dizzy from the smell.

This unusual way of unfolding did indeed surprise Yi Shuihan somewhat, and he inwardly grumbled.

"You'll be able to keep your composure then; you haven't even asked me yet."

His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Yi Shuihan.

"It's not that I'm afraid of disturbing your enjoyment, but if you want me to know, I definitely will. If you don't want me to know, there's no point in asking."

This answer wasn't the best, but it wouldn't offend the Poisonous Heart Emperor.

As expected, the Poison Heart Emperor smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "If someone else had said this to me, I would definitely have felt annoyed, but it's different since it's you who said it. It's pleasant to hear."

Unexpectedly friendly, even though she knew Yi Shuihan was somewhat sycophantic.

For a Great Dao Emperor, Poison Heart Emperor Venerable wouldn't bother being so friendly to someone in the Enlightenment Realm, even if Yi Shuihan's master was Creation Emperor Venerable. So the answer is obvious: he has something to ask of Yi Shuihan, and befriending Yi Shuihan is beneficial to him.

"Your cultivation speed is something even I envy. In just over a hundred million years, you've reached this level. When I was your age, I had only just stepped into the Chaos Emperor realm. There's no comparison!"

"The Poison Heart Emperor said with a sigh."

"You flatter me, sir."

"Don't be so formal, sir. I have some connection with your master. You can just call me Uncle Poison Heart."

Trying to get close, absolutely trying to get close. Yi Shuihan didn't know the true relationship between his master and the Poison Heart Emperor. In any case, it was definitely not as good as the Poison Heart Emperor claimed, and it wasn't to the point where he could casually call him "uncle".

The more intimate the Poison Heart Emperor was with Yi Shuihan, the greater the pressure became, because it meant things were getting more complicated.

Seemingly sensing Yi Shuihan's thoughts, the Poison Heart Emperor finally got to the point and explained the reason for his visit.

An hour later, Yi Shuihan returned to his residence at the branch office with a solemn expression.

"They're up to no good! Should I agree or not? If I agree, I'll definitely suffer a loss. If I don't agree, the Poison Heart Emperor will definitely not let it go. It's not a good feeling to be targeted by a Great Dao Emperor."

According to Emperor Poison Heart, he suffered a minor injury in his battle with Emperor Heart Bud, and he has almost fully recovered. If he were given another hundred million years, or even ten million years, he would recover to his peak condition on his own without any external force.

The problem lies here: for some reason, the Poison Heart Emperor couldn't wait that long; he needed to fully recover ahead of schedule, so he sought out Yi Shuihan.

It wasn't that they deliberately sought out Yi Shuihan; they simply needed to find some Chaos Emperors at the Enlightenment Realm to help them, and to unite 10 Enlightenment Realm experts to use a secret technique to accelerate his recovery.

Besides Yi Shuihan, Poison Heart Emperor has found another 9 Chaos Emperors at the Enlightenment Realm, and he is now the last one.

The Poison Heart Emperor confidently assured that the aftereffects of using the secret technique would only be a temporary weakness. He also promised that if Yi Shuihan chose to help him, the Poison Heart Emperor would reward him and guarantee to help him once the deed was done.

This deal sounds like a great deal, as it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Great Dao Emperor. If it weren't for the immense losses suffered by the Chaos Emperors of the myriad realms, Yi Shuihan wouldn't have had this chance.

Yi Shuihan deliberately asked about the specific time when he would become weak, and the Poison Heart Emperor gave a rough range, between one hundred million and one billion years.

To be honest, if you really put yourself in Yi Shuihan's shoes, he definitely wouldn't want to agree to this. He doesn't care about the treasures of the Great Dao Emperor, and he doesn't need to take action that time. Is the Poison Heart Emperor's action more reliable than his own master's?

Even considering the minimum duration of weakness, 100 million years is an extremely long time for Yi Shuihan. Keep in mind that he has only lived for a little over 100 million years, and that is the shortest possible time.

If we calculate based on his weakened state for 5 to 6 million years, Yi Shuihan might have already become a Great Dao Emperor.

However, if he didn't agree, he would offend the Poison Heart Emperor. This was what Yi Shuihan was struggling with. After all, he was still just a Chaos Emperor in the Enlightenment Realm. Even if he could break through to the Creation Realm soon, he would still be considered a Chaos Emperor.

Yi Shuihan's master is currently protecting Dongming as he breaks through to the Great Dao Emperor realm, and is unable to spare any more time to help Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan also doesn't want to trouble her master.

The Poisonous Heart Emperor did not force Yi Shuihan, giving him ample time to consider. In the end, Yi Shuihan chose to agree to the Poisonous Heart Emperor's request and participate in this event.

One reason Yi Shuihan made this decision was that he didn't want to trouble his master, and another reason was his confidence in the system. If the Poison Heart Emperor told the truth, the system's ability might be able to remove this period of weakness. At worst, he would lose some wealth, and he could always ask the Poison Heart Emperor for more wealth! He could exchange that one opportunity for something else, and as long as the request wasn't excessive, the Poison Heart Emperor should agree.

Chapter 1417, All Directions Gather, Healing Begins

After Yi Shuihan agreed to the request from the Poison Heart Emperor, the Poison Heart Emperor set off with Yi Shuihan.

Perhaps to maintain secrecy, the Poison Heart Emperor did not tell Yi Shuihan the specific location for healing, but instead used a flying magic artifact to take Yi Shuihan on his journey.

Within the magical artifact, Yi Shuihan couldn't even determine the direction, nor the distance; it seemed as if his senses were being clouded.

Yi Shuihan was slightly dissatisfied with the Poison Heart Emperor's actions, but upon closer examination, it was understandable. After all, it was better to have as few people as possible know about the healing process to avoid it being disrupted. Of course, this was not good for Yi Shuihan, as if the Poison Heart Emperor had ulterior motives, he wouldn't even know which way to escape.

Even with the super teleportation ability, Yi Shuihan was still a little worried. After all, it would be terrible if the place he was going to had been tampered with by the Poison Heart Emperor and he couldn't teleport there.

Super teleportation isn't a panacea, after all. The restrictions placed by Salama affected super teleportation, and who knows if the Poison Heart Emperor has that ability?

With this thought in mind, Yi Shuihan was not in a good mood throughout the journey.

After spending about three years inside the magical artifact, Yi Shuihan and his companions finally arrived at their destination.

When Yi Shuihan stepped out of the magic weapon, he found himself on a very small planet. Why was it so small? Because the planet's radius was only about 10 kilometers. A powerful person like Yi Shuihan could easily walk off the planet in one step.

This unnamed planet has an environment similar to Earth's, with oceans covering three-quarters of its surface.

Is it underwater?

The question was quickly answered: the seabed, where Yi Shuihan's perception was otherwise ordinary, began to emit strange fluctuations after the arrival of the Poison Heart Emperor.

"It really is underwater, no, to be precise, it's in a different dimension underwater."

They followed Poison Heart Emperor Yi Shuihan into the alternate dimension at the bottom of the sea.

"Fortunately, the hyper teleportation still works, but it feels a bit off."

After confirming that the teleportation was working, Yi Shuihan relaxed.

The Poison Heart Emperor also noticed Yi Shuihan's relaxation, but he didn't pay it any mind, taking it as a natural reaction of Yi Shuihan coming out of the sealed magic treasure.

"Come, I'll take you to meet your companions."

When Yi Shuihan met the other nine Chaos Emperors at the Enlightenment Realm besides Yi Shuihan, he was surprised to find that he actually knew several of them.

"Hey, isn't this Ye Dongsheng's junior brother? He's already reached the Enlightenment Realm."

The speaker was someone I met at the exchange meeting during the last Lieyang Emperor's advancement conference, who was at the Enlightenment Realm. At that time, he and Ye Dongsheng belonged to the same small circle, Yangyi Emperor.

Beside Yang Yihuang was Gui Muhuang. Both of them knew each other because of Ye Dongsheng, but that was only acquaintance; they had only met once and exchanged a few words.

In addition, there are two other people in the Enlightenment Realm known to Yi Shuihan within the company: Emperor Xuwu and Emperor Hongtong.

Of the nine people, Yi Shuihan recognized four, while he didn't know the other five. Perhaps he had heard their names before, but had never met them.

The Poison Heart Emperor thoughtfully introduced Yi Shuihan to the identities of the other five people at the Enlightenment Realm.

Two of them are Daoist partners, Emperor Mingye and Emperor Ruoshui, both of whom are Chaos Emperors in the Myriad Realms Arena. The other three are Chaos Three Fiends from the Merchant Alliance, namely Heavenly Fiend, Earthly Fiend, and Human Fiend, three Chaos Emperors.

When Yi Shuihan saw the Three Fiends of Chaos, he was reminded of the Three Pure Ones of the Primordial World. They were all depicted as an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man. However, there were some slight differences. The Heavenly Fiend Emperor was a young man and also the eldest of the Three Fiends. The Earthly Fiend Emperor was a middle-aged man and the second eldest. The Human Fiend Emperor was an old man and the third eldest.

After introducing themselves, there was no incident of anyone looking down on Yi Shuihan, and the whole process was quite harmonious.

Having gathered all the members of the Enlightenment Realm, the Poison Heart Emperor was in a very good mood. He held a banquet that very day and brought out many fine things to entertain Yi Shuihan and the others.

The Great Dao Emperor is, after all, the Great Dao Emperor. The food and drink he usually eats and drinks are of great benefit to the Chaos Emperors like Yi Shuihan who are at the Enlightenment Realm, and the benefits to their bodies are no less than a million years of hard cultivation.
