Multiverse Skill System

Page 483

What shocked Yi Shuihan the most was that he also saw a huge creature, comparable to a galaxy, with one eye the size of the sun.

At a glance, Yi Shuihan could identify over a thousand different races, making it hard to imagine just how many races comprised this headquarters.

Most of the items that appear at headquarters are gold, but occasionally you can see little silver ones curiously looking around under the guidance of adults.

"Are all of these people from our company?"

Yi Shuihan couldn't help but have some doubts. If all of that was true, then the company's identity was worthless.

"Most of them are not."

"No? Then why?"

"You can think of them as peripheral members of the company. Many of their ancestors were members of the company and lived here. After all, our lives are very long, and over time, many descendants will be born. If these descendants have talent, they can naturally join the company. If they don't have talent, they can only live here as ordinary people. However, because the headquarters is too advanced, people with strength below Silver cannot survive here. Therefore, there are many special cities that have specially set up formations to change the environment so that they cannot come out until they reach Silver level."

When Murphy spoke of the cities, he pointed to some stars in the sky, making it clear that each city represented a star.

"Even the Earth would be considered a small town here."

Looking at the city in the sky, Yi Shuihan thought to himself.

Following Murphy, Yi Shuihan met Murphy's superior, a True Saint of the Elemental Clan.

"Murphy, this is the little guy you mentioned. He has indeed broken through to the True Saint realm. Not bad, not bad."

What appeared to be no different from an ordinary human being in front of Yi Shuihan was actually just an illusion. Yi Shuihan and Murphy were currently on the body of this elemental race true saint.

The elemental race is further divided into various elements. The one in front of Yi Shuihan is an earth elemental. Normally, he doesn't move and looks no different from an ordinary continent.

Since Murphy had explained what he was supposed to do at headquarters before he arrived, Yi Shuihan was prepared and knew how to speak, so he had a very pleasant chat with this senior.

This conversation lasted for a month. The concept of the duration of such existence was simply too vague. If we didn't have other things to do, we probably could have talked for hundreds of years without finishing.

Of course, chatting with a veteran True Saint was rewarding. I learned a lot about True Saint cultivation and gained a deeper understanding of the myriad realms.

When asked about his future plans, Yi Shuihan said he wanted to go to the United University of the Myriad Realms. The other party agreed and told Yi Shuihan some good news: for a genius like him who could break through to the True Saint level within 100,000 years, the company would recommend him to the United University of the Myriad Realms for a million years of cultivation. During this period, the company would also provide certain allowances according to specific standards, and fully support Yi Shuihan in becoming the Chaos Emperor.

It was only at this point that Yi Shuihan realized that ten million contribution points were really nothing, and that leaving the Primordial World early was the right thing to do.

Led by this elder of the elemental race, Yi Shuihan arrived at a place specifically for testing, to assess his talent and whether he had truly reached the level of a True Saint.

Yi Shuihan fully cooperated with the test, revealing everything except for the power of his Chaotic Body and his personal world.

The final test result earned him a 7-star genius rating, with a 1% probability of becoming the Chaos Emperor.

This so-called talent evaluation system is universal across all realms, specifically targeting the True Saint level. It ranges from the lowest level of 1 star to the highest level of 9 stars. The higher the star rating, the greater the probability of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor.

There is a 1% chance that a 7-star player can break through to the Chaos Emperor realm. It seems like the probability is even lower, but it is actually quite high. In the vast universe, a breakthrough probability of even one in ten thousand is already an extremely high probability.

A 7-star is second only to 8-star and 9-star, and can be considered a third-tier genius. An 8-star has a one in ten chance of breaking through, and a 9-star has a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor.

However, geniuses with nine stars are extremely rare. There are no more than a thousand of them in the entire universe. They appear only once every ten thousand years. As soon as they are born, they are fought over by the Chaos Emperor and the Great Dao Emperor.

Eight stars is already the highest level of genius in all the heavens and myriad realms, of course, this "currently" refers to the last ten million years.

Yi Shuihan's 7-star rating received unprecedented attention. Within the company, he was directly promoted to the head of a department and was also recommended to the Wanjie United University. He received 3 boundary points as initial support, and the Chaos Emperor had the opportunity to help him three times. In addition, he received various other benefits, which I will not go into detail about.

"1 Boundary Points, converted to Contribution Points, is..."

The mere sight of that ten thousand boundary point nearly knocked Yi Shuihan unconscious. It was only then that Yi Shuihan realized just how wealthy and powerful the company truly was.

"Selling the system is all fluff; the real money is in cultivation! As long as I cultivate quickly, a mountain of rewards awaits me. If I reveal my Chaotic Body and my personal world, my rating will probably rise to 8 stars, or even 9 stars. Wouldn't that give me at least a million points?"

Thinking of this, Yi Shuihan had a sudden urge to reveal his trump card at all costs, but he managed to suppress it with great difficulty.

Chapter 1236, Going to the Multiverse United University

"The next cohort of students to the All-Worlds United University will be admitted in ten years, which is very close. You can stay at headquarters during this time. Many people from headquarters will be sent there to enroll. Of course, only four students will be admitted without examination, just like you."

So Yi Shuihan temporarily stayed at the company's headquarters.

The company arranged for Yi Shuihan to live on a planet. That's right, a planet. The entire planet belonged to Yi Shuihan during his stay. Originally, there were supposed to be many servants and guards, but Yi Shuihan refused them all. He had his own personal world, so he could just call Hancock and the others out. That way, he wouldn't feel lonely.

Ten years is not a long time. For Yi Shuihan and his group, it was just a short period of seclusion. Therefore, Yi Shuihan did not request to go directly, although the company would have agreed if he had asked to go earlier.

The All-Worlds United Academy only recruits students once every ten thousand years. After all, its main purpose is to cultivate Chaos Emperors. The entrance threshold is still Gold One Star, and becoming Gold One Star is considered an extremely fast speed within ten thousand years.

If it were several thousand years before they could recruit students, Yi Shuihan wouldn't wait; ten years would naturally be within an acceptable range.

The cultivation environment at the company headquarters is excellent, especially for those below the True Saint level. It also has some effect on Yi Shuihan, a True Saint, but not a particularly significant one. At least in the short term, it won't allow Yi Shuihan to make rapid progress.

Hancock and the others have been greatly enhanced due to their personal worlds, and with the training they received, they are all at the Quasi-Saint level. This is because their natural talents are not particularly good, and their cultivation is achieved through accumulation. Otherwise, they would all be qualified to prepare for the breakthrough to True Saint.

With Yi Shuihan's support, Hancock and the others have at least a 10% chance of breaking through to True Saint. However, it will be difficult for them to advance to Chaos Emperor. Yi Shuihan can't do anything about it for the time being. They can only wait until he becomes a Chaos Emperor or even stronger.

Yi Shuihan had a very happy ten years. He didn't cultivate much and spent most of his time with the girls. First, he had a great time on his own planet, and then he traveled all over the continent from the company headquarters, experiencing the unique features of various worlds.

It's fortunate that there's a teleportation array; otherwise, the journey alone would have taken more than ten years.

Over the years, Yi Shuihan has encountered more than a hundred different races and civilizations, greatly expanding his knowledge and horizons, and acquiring many interesting items.

Even so, Yi Shuihan has only traveled to a very small part of the headquarters continent in the past ten years. He hasn't been to most of the areas yet, not because he can't, but because he doesn't have the time to continue.

The Headquarters Continent is truly vast. Yi Shuihan estimates that it would take him tens of thousands of years to explore the entire continent. Of course, if he could become a Chaos Emperor, this time would be greatly reduced, because only a Chaos Emperor would not face significant limitations in strength on the Headquarters Continent.

"The day has finally come for me to go to the Multiverse United High School. It's really unbelievable that someone my age still has to go to school!"

At the meeting point, Yi Shuihan stood silently in a corner, waiting. Not far from him were several small groups, but not many of them were human.

Most of these races maintain a humanoid appearance and do not reveal their true forms unless necessary. However, even so, one can still discern traces of their true forms from their appearance, such as the scales on their faces and the spikes on their shoulders.

At first, Yi Shuihan wondered why these races would try to become as close to humans as possible, but now it's commonplace.

In fact, there is only one reason why these races would do this: the great one of the company is only a human. Even in all the worlds, the human race is the top race. Therefore, other weaker races would try to become more like humans, entirely out of respect for that one.

Another reason is that it is easier to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth when one transforms into a human. The fact that humans have the potential to become spirits demonstrates the superiority of this race, just like the innate Dao bodies of the primordial world. The reason why demons transform into human form is that only after transforming can their cultivation speed become faster and their comprehension of the Dao become easier. The reason is similar here.

Yi Shuihan didn't plan to have much contact with his companions who were going to the Multiverse United Academy with him. He felt it was unnecessary. In his mind, these guys were not on the same level as him at all. When he got to the Multiverse United Academy, Yi Shuihan should be interacting with geniuses of the same level as himself. These people who hadn't even reached the True Saint level or whose talents were only around 5 stars were not worth his time to communicate with.

Lions don't stay with sheep, and Yi Shuihan is now that lion. As for who the sheep is, it's obvious.

Yi Shuihan's aloof demeanor deterred anyone from provoking him. Everyone was smart enough not to want to provoke an enemy whose background was unknown, so Yi Shuihan remained quite at ease.

"Here it comes, here it comes, that's Darkness, who is said to have a 7-star talent, a monstrous genius."

Suddenly a commotion arose, catching Yi Shuihan's attention.

"A 7-star talent? Is this one of those few who, like me, were admitted without taking the entrance exam?"

Yi Shuihan looked at the one named Darkness, who had fiery red hair, wore knight armor, had a voluptuous figure, and an extremely beautiful face that was almost identical to a human's. The only difference was that she had a pair of pure white wings on her back.

"The Winged Race?"

Seemingly noticing Yi Shuihan's gaze, Darkness also looked over. Their eyes met, Yi Shuihan's eyes held a faint appreciation, while Darkness was somewhat surprised and curious, wondering about Yi Shuihan's identity.

In the end, neither of them spoke, and Darkness led her two fellow Winged Clan followers to the other side.

Following Darkness, two other individuals who were admitted without examination also entered the arena. One was a human, like Yi Shuihan, and the other was a fire elementalist from the elemental race.

"Is everyone here? If so, let's go!"

Chapter 1237, The Second Generation Overlord Soul

The leader was a True Saint of the Elven race. This True Saint was at the peak of the True Saint realm, just one step away from becoming the Chaos Emperor. However, his potential had been exhausted, and it was almost impossible for him to become the Chaos Emperor. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to lead the way.

This True Saint of the Elf race is responsible for handling matters concerning the company's personnel at the Multiverse United High School. Once at the academy, he will not return. He will be responsible for some matters concerning the students living at the academy. For example, if Yi Shuihan needs to report something on behalf of the company, he should contact him. He is somewhat similar to a life teacher.

In fact, each of the major forces in the Myriad Realms United University has a department stationed there for a long time, responsible for some issues within their own forces. The company has a genuine Chaos Emperor in the Myriad Realms United University, but this Chaos Emperor does not get involved. Most of the time, it is the True Saint in front of Yi Shuihan who is in charge.

It is a school that trains Chaos Emperors. It would be a joke if there wasn't even a single Chaos Emperor in it. Moreover, according to rumors, the person in charge of the Myriad Realms United Academy is a Great Dao Emperor, but he hasn't shown his face for a long time. Here, "a long time" means more than 10 million years.

"We are both pure human, let's get acquainted. My name is Ba Tianhun, and you must be Yi Shuihan, right?"

A rather handsome young man appeared beside Yi Shuihan. Of course, although he was called a young man, he had lived several times longer than Yi Shuihan.

This genius, Ba Tianhun, who is also a 7-star genius like Yi Shuihan, is one of the people from the company who were admitted to the Multiverse United University without taking the entrance exam.

Yi Shuihan looks to be around 20 years old, while this person looks to be 16 or 7. The reason for this is not hard to guess. This person's parents were already highly skilled when they gave birth to him, which caused the growth cycle of Ba Tian Soul to be very slow. He was able to achieve this youthful appearance thanks to the help of external objects. Otherwise, he would be even younger now.

"I never imagined I'd be so famous!"

Yi Shuihan nodded in a friendly manner to Ba Tianhun and said with emotion.

"No, quite the opposite. Not many people here know your specific identity. I only investigated the other three guys who were admitted without taking the exam, just out of curiosity. It took me a lot of effort to find out about you. It's really surprising that you are also a human. I didn't expect there to be a fellow human as outstanding as me."

When he said this, Ba Tianhun had an arrogant look on his face. He had the confidence to break through from Silver to True Saint in 5 years.

Ba Tianhun was born with extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, and he directly possessed the power of silver. His cultivation was smooth sailing, and he did not encounter any bottlenecks. He was a true genius template.

In fact, Ba Tianhun's talent was partially sealed, mainly because his parents wanted him to go further. Otherwise, he might have been born at the Gold level.

This is one of the few prodigies Murphy mentioned. His parents are both Chaos Emperors, making him a true second-generation rich kid with an incredibly powerful background.

Because of this background, Ba Tianhun is actually a very simple child. He has no other purpose in communicating with Yi Shuihan. He is just a little curious.

Yi Shuihan treated this domineering soul with a very ordinary attitude, without any other factors involved, so the two had a very pleasant conversation.

Knowing that Yi Shuihan had achieved everything through his own hard work, Ba Tianhun felt a pang of envy towards him. He said that he didn't want to be a second-generation rich kid and wanted to become strong entirely on his own. Little did he know how harsh those words sounded to others, and how many people wanted to switch identities with him.

"We get along so well, why don't we become sworn brothers?"

Suddenly, Ba Tianhun said this.

What kind of development is this? The pace of development is too fast. Is it possible to become sworn brothers after only half a day of meeting?

Yi Shuihan thought about it carefully and actually found such a thing in his memory. It was in a certain department. They had a meal, drank some wine, and then ran a race before becoming sworn brothers.

Yi Shuihan was reluctant to accept Ba Tianhun's suggestion. Becoming sworn brothers with such a promising person would actually be beneficial to Yi Shuihan, but he didn't want to take advantage of it, at least not until he had a thorough understanding of Ba Tianhun. Although Yi Shuihan initially found Ba Tianhun agreeable, who knew what the future held? Becoming sworn brothers was not just a matter of words.

Yi Shuihan could tell that Ba Tianhun was quite serious, and it was precisely because of this that Yi Shuihan did not refuse for the time being.

"Hey, let's become sworn brothers! I'll be the big brother, and you'll be the little brother. If you ever have any problems, I'll help you sort them out. There will definitely be a lot of conflicts at the Multiverse United High School, right? Nobody there knows my identity. I can finally experience being the campus tyrant. My goal is to become the leader of ten thousand students at the Multiverse United High School."

As if making a vow, Ba Tianhun's face was full of energy.

"This feeling is so familiar, is it chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"

Silently staring at the utterly delusional Ba Tianhun before him, Yi Shuihan truly wondered how this kid had cultivated to the True Saint realm. Even he himself had experienced a harrowing ordeal before breaking through to True Saint, while this guy before him...

"What do you think of my idea? Han-di, isn't it great! You must be just as excited as I am, because we're the same kind of people!"

Who the hell is the same kind of person as you? And you call yourself "Brother Han"? I haven't even said we should become sworn brothers yet, have I?

Without making a sound, Yi Shuihan took a step back. He had decided to stay away from this chuunibyou patient. As for sworn brotherhood, Yi Shuihan said that there was never such a thing.

If Yi Shuihan were to actually follow Ba Tianhun to the Multiverse United University to form cliques and recruit followers, he could already foresee that it would be full of hardships and bitterness. He would probably have to teach a lesson to many seniors. In the end, he estimated that Ba Tianhun would rely on his powerful backing and that those who went with him would be in big trouble. Yi Shuihan was unwilling to become the scapegoat.

"Hey, it seems like someone's looking for you over there."

"Someone's looking for you, who is it?"

Ba Tianhun turned around but didn't see the person looking for him. When he looked at Yi Shuihan's location again, Yi Shuihan had already disappeared.

"Huh? Where's Han-di? He's nowhere to be seen."

Not far away, Yi Shuihan silently watched Ba Tianhun search for him, and finally left in a direction far away from Ba Tianhun.

A certain winged woman witnessed this scene from beginning to end. When she saw the direction Yi Shuihan left in, a strange light appeared in her eyes.

Chapter 1238, The Tower of Babel

It took more than a month to travel from the company headquarters to the Wanjie United University, which shows just how far apart the two are.

For the past month, Yi Shuihan and the other students and examinees have lived on a magical artifact the size of a planet, which also serves as their mode of transportation.

For them, whose strength is at least Gold 1-star, a planet is actually very small, so small that it can rotate once in less than a minute. However, this smallness does not apply to them now. This magic weapon has a powerful suppressive force, and they cannot use too much power inside it. Only someone like Yi Shuihan, whose cultivation has reached the True Saint level and who is a genius among True Saints, can be an exception.

Therefore, after standing Ba Tianhun up, Yi Shuihan was harassed terribly for more than a month. No matter how Yi Shuihan hid, Ba Tianhun always managed to find him and then try to persuade him to join his Ba Tian Gang, even offering him the position of vice gang leader.

For Yi Shuihan, the so-called awesome Batian Gang, which would soon have tens of thousands of members, held no appeal whatsoever, so he rejected invitation after invitation.

Ba Tianhun was persistent, seemingly convinced that Yi Shuihan was his deputy leader, and kept bothering Yi Shuihan, which annoyed Yi Shuihan to no end.

Sometimes, Yi Shuihan couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to teach Ba Tianhun a lesson, so he did, but it didn't have the desired effect.

It should be said that although Ba Tianhun is a bit foolish, he is really strong. As long as Yi Shuihan does not reveal his Chaos Body and his personal world, he cannot do anything to him.

Yi Shuihan had no intention of revealing his full strength for such a trivial matter, so he could only silently accept Ba Tianhun's daily invitations.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan finally understood how difficult it was to deal with a character as troublesome as Luffy. Ba Tianhun was really stubborn and completely ignored Yi Shuihan's strong desire to refuse. He even went so far as to say that it was fate.

What Yi Shuihan didn't know was that while Ba Tianhun was pestering him, the other examinees around him were looking at him with great envy. They looked up to Ba Tianhun and hoped to get in touch with him so that they could rise to prominence with his strength and background.

If it hadn't been revealed that Yi Shuihan was also one of the four exempted from the exam, these guys would probably have been even more envious and jealous, and might have done something strange.

"Is it finally here?"

When the notification reached the All-Worlds United University, Yi Shuihan spoke these words with an extremely relieved tone; this past month had been far too long for him.
