Multiverse Skill System

The Three-Legged Golden Crow was an absolutely top-tier divine beast in the prehistoric world, comparable to the Ancestral Dragon. He and his younger brother, Donghuang Taiyi, were transformed from the essence of the sun star. This sun was transformed from one of the eyes in Pangu's body. The eye is generally considered one of the most important organs in the human body, even more important than essence and blood.

Pangu's essence gave birth to the 12 Ancestral Witches, and thus countless Witch Clan members were born. The essence of the sun, on the other hand, has only given birth to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. Individually, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi have a deeper foundation than any of the Ancestral Witches. However, the Witch Clan is numerous and powerful.

With Nuwa and Fuxi watching over Dijun, and the other eight Ancestral Witches and Yi Shuihan observing from the sidelines, Dijun didn't dare to devote his full energy to the battle. He didn't even care much about attacking, and it felt like he was just fighting casually.

Those who could see this were all at the Quasi-Saint level. The other demon races had no idea that their Demon Emperor was distracted, staring fervently at the awe-inspiring Emperor Jun.

"How long will this fight take?"

The battle seemed earth-shattering, causing all beings below the Quasi-Saint level in the Primordial World to tremble in fear. However, in Yi Shuihan's eyes, Dijiang and Dijun were merely testing each other. Neither of them had used their full strength. After fighting for so long, they hadn't expended any energy. If they continued at this pace, they could probably fight for tens of thousands of years without any problem.

"My children, kill all these demons!"

With a command from the ancestral witch Gonggong, millions of witches charged towards hundreds of millions of demons. It seemed like an egg hitting a rock, but in reality, the demons were being overwhelmed, and the witches were slaughtering one after another.

Xing Tian, ​​Kua Fu, Xiang Liu and other great shamans rushed to the front lines to face the remaining nine great saints of the demon race, setting the stage for a grand final battle between the shamans and demons.

At first, the battle was relatively restrained, but gradually they got really angry and started fighting like they had lost their minds.

“Something’s not right. They seem to be affected by something, their emotions are clouded and their minds are clouded.”

Yi Shuihan, being an observer, noticed something amiss. During the battle, even though there were easier ways to defeat the opponent, they insisted on using the most exhausting method. Knowing they were no match, they would even self-destruct to harm the enemy, as if killing was everything to them.

If it were just one or two people, it would be fine, but if most people were like this, then there must be a problem. Especially since Yi Shuihan discovered that even those weak demons were frantically attacking the much stronger witches, and many of them, who initially tried to avoid dangerous places and were clearly cowardly, had now entered a state of fanaticism, going wherever they could die quickly.

"What's this......?"

From his unique perspective, Yi Shuihan saw a layer of hazy gray mist appear between heaven and earth at some unknown time. As the battle between the witch and demon races raged, the gray mist grew thicker and thicker, almost solidifying.

Looking at Houtu beside him, Yi Shuihan could say with certainty that the other party had absolutely not noticed the gray aura.

"Calamity Qi! Something that is produced in every great calamity. Even those whose cultivation is not up to the level of a saint will be affected by Calamity Qi, making them do a series of foolish things, and ultimately have to face the calamity."

A look of realization flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes, and he suddenly recognized the true form of the gray aura.

"My ability to see them is probably related to my supernatural tribulation lightning, since they all have the word 'tribulation' in their names."

Now that we can see them, I wonder if there's any way to get rid of them?

With a thought, Yi Shuihan began to try to manipulate the tribulation lightning. A blue light flickered under his sleeve, and since everyone's attention was no longer on him, they naturally did not notice his abnormality.

From the perspective of only Yi Shuihan, the endless gray energy suddenly went berserk, appearing extremely irritable, as if it had been stimulated by something.

The output of the massive tribulation lightning gradually increased, and the gray energy became increasingly violent. What was originally a slow invasion into the bodies of the demons and witches was now a direct and forceful invasion, making the battle on the battlefield below even more intense.

"Did it have the opposite effect? ​​But it also proves that the tribulation lightning really does have some influence on the tribulation energy."

If this continues, the first great war between the Lich King and the Demon King will really break out. Di Jun and his group probably don't have the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation yet, so the Demon King will definitely be defeated. However, Hong Jun will definitely step in at that time.

"The great war between the liches, which broke out because of the system, was ultimately caused by me! Shouldn't I feel honored?"

Different cultivation levels are affected by the tribulation energy in different ways. The higher the cultivation level, the less affected the tribulation energy is. At present, the tribulation energy only affects those below the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Therefore, the Ancestral Witch Battlefield is still relatively normal. However, even without the influence of the tribulation energy, they are becoming increasingly furious when they see the dead and wounded soldiers below.

In comparison, Di Jun was more composed. Unlike the Wu Clan, who were bound by blood, he had forcibly gathered the demon race based on strength. For his own ambition, if the death of all the other demon races could kill all the Wu Clan, he would certainly be happy to do so. After all, the prehistoric world was so vast, and there were plenty of demon races. If they died, he could just recruit more.

"The third lecture will begin one day from now. Anyone who is destined can come to listen. During this period, the battle between those above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level will be suspended in the prehistoric world."

The chaotic sound reached the ears of all living beings across the entire primordial continent, accompanied by a faint chime.

"At this time? Was it intentional?"

It seems unlikely that a war will break out now. If the Ancestral Witches insist on starting a war, Hongjun will have a reason to intervene.

It wasn't just Yi Shuihan; all the powerful beings qualified to listen to the Dao shared this idea.

"Let's stop for now and wait until I've finished speaking before we fight again."

Di Jun's voice reached the entire battlefield, clearing the eyes of the bloodthirsty demons.

Normally, Dijiang would definitely hold Dijun hostage, because Dijun going to listen to the lecture would mean that Dijun's strength would increase again, which would be detrimental to the Wu Clan. It would be better to forcibly keep him here. Even if it were Hongjun, Dijiang would have a reason. The demons killed so many Wu Clan members, but keeping Dijun is not unreasonable! We can choose not to fight, but Dijun must stay.

"Zhurong, Xizi, Tianwu, come back. Today we will give Hongjun Daozu face."

Dijiang not only stopped fighting himself, but also told Zhurong and the others not to continue.

Chapter 1037, Di Jun's Doubts

"Brother, why? At worst, we can use the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. Then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will be powerless to fight."

Zhu Rong returned and transmitted his dissatisfaction through telepathy.

"Didn't you hear that? The Dao Ancestor Hongjun has begun his lecture."

"I heard that! It's just the third sermon, what does it have to do with us...?"

Seeing Zhu Rong's seemingly enlightened expression, Di Jiang understood what she had thought of.

Things are different now. Dijiang is now a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Hongjun's sermon is not something irrelevant to him, but an opportunity to improve his foundation.

Although he has a system, as long as he kills enough demons, he will definitely grow into a quasi-saint. But what happens after that? That depends on him. Listening to Hongjun's sermons is very necessary.

The system has limitations, but it doesn't completely restrict Dijiang. It's not that he can't continue to improve once he reaches Quasi-Saint status; it's just that the system can't help him improve further. If he wants to go further on the path of immortality, he has to rely entirely on himself.

"I'm going to listen to the Dao, and then you all wait for my news. After I leave, you go and kill demons, and try to make sure that by the time I return, they are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. You can't kill Great Luo Golden Immortals, but you can still kill those below Great Luo Golden Immortals!"

The sinister voice echoed in the minds of the other Ancestral Witches. Although it was somewhat out of character for the Witch Clan, the other Ancestral Witches were inexplicably excited. What was the point of talking about fairness with the Demon Clan? If a scheme was necessary, then so be it. Otherwise, how could they face the lost sons and daughters?

"Brother, don't worry, I'll definitely be a Great Immortal when you come back."

"We'll see how dark Di Jun's face gets then."

"Brother, you must be careful when you go to listen to the teachings. Don't get surrounded by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi."

"Don't worry, don't you know how fast I am? I've never seen anyone faster than me. Besides, there's Brother Taiyi here. I think he'll go to listen to the Dao. Given his relationship with Houtu, he won't stand by and watch someone die."

"Brother, my relationship with Taiyi isn't that close, but I'll ask him for help."

The transmission of the Twelve Ancestral Witches' voices should not have been heard by others, but by sheer coincidence, Yi Shuihan overheard their conversation.

This wasn't because Yi Shuihan was too strong, but because they were all system owners. These systems sold by Yi Shuihan had a small backdoor left behind by him, which was basically a location tracking and eavesdropping on audio transmissions. This was to prevent the system owners from having any bad intentions, and also to find out how the customers felt about the system experience. If the experience was not good, Yi Shuihan could recommend systems that they liked in the future, provided that they had value.

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan was using the experimental Origin System, which was the kind of system that evolved from him. The company could only arrange a fixed-point teleportation, which failed. Otherwise, with such a backdoor, everything about Yi Shuihan would have been exposed.

Hearing this, Yi Shuihan had no intention of saying it aloud. So when Houtu came to help him out of danger in Dijiang, he appropriately expressed his surprise, and then readily agreed.

"Then please."

"It's alright. After all, you are my customers. Solving problems for customers is what I should be doing. Maybe you'll even want to check out the purchasing system if you're in a good mood?"

"If something really happens, I'm willing to give you all the remaining value points, just please bring Brother Dijiang back."

"Are you really willing to give it up?"

"What's there to be reluctant about? You can earn more value points if you lose them. There's only one Brother Dijiang."

"Don't worry! Even if it doesn't have any value points, I'll do my best to help."

To be honest, for a moment, Yi Shuihan really hoped that Dijiang would be in trouble so that he could save Dijiang and get the remaining 100,000+ value points.

......

“Brother, I feel like something’s not right. Why would Dijiang stop fighting so easily? Given his personality, he should at least have tested Master Hongjun’s bottom line.”

"There is indeed something strange, but the most important thing now is to preach the Dao. Everything else is secondary. As long as we improve our strength, even if they have some kind of conspiracy, it will be useless. They can't possibly take advantage of our absence to slaughter those demons below the cultivation level!"

Di Jun was unaware that his words had come true. They were indeed plotting to slaughter the Golden Immortal demon race. In the past, the Ancestral Witches might not have done such a thing, as it would have been too beneath them, and other powerful beings in the prehistoric world would have ridiculed them. But now! Who told them that the system stipulated that killing demons could increase their cultivation?

When Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi arrived at Zixiao Palace, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi and other great beings had already arrived and were sitting in the places they had stayed in the previous two times, ready to listen to the lecture.

The reason why Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi arrived a step later was entirely because they were still dealing with some follow-up matters of the demon race when they heard Hongjun say he was going to start his lecture, unlike other powerful beings who arrived immediately.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were among the first group of powerful figures present. Even those with seats weren't afraid of them, since they hadn't yet achieved sainthood. In terms of true strength, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't fear any of them. Therefore, when they arrived, many powerful figures nodded to them, regardless of their true thoughts, to express goodwill.

When Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi sat down in their seats in the second row, a commotion came from the direction of the door. Di Jun turned around and was immediately stunned.

What did he see? It looked like Dijiang, no, it shouldn't be Dijiang, it just looked like Dijiang. Dijiang was a member of the Wu clan and couldn't cultivate immortality, so it was impossible for him to come here. But it really looked like him, whether it was his appearance, his expression, or his soul aura.

“Brother, isn’t that Dijiang? And the one next to him is the Taoist who was with Houtu before.”

"Donghuang Taiyi said in surprise."

It really is Dijiang!! Dijun finally came to terms with reality, and at the same time, a very ominous feeling arose in his heart. Dijun wasn't particularly concerned about the Taoist priest coming here, after all, the other party was also a cultivator, and it was normal for the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun to come and preach, but Dijiang's words...

"What exactly is he trying to do? Does he intend to attack me and Taiyi outside Zixiao Palace after giving his sermon? Isn't he afraid of upsetting other powerful beings, or even Hongjun Daozu?"

Chapter 1038, The Terrifying Hongjun

Many powerful beings, though they had never seen Dijiang, could recognize him at a glance. Dijiang's appearance was already well-known. So unique, and exuding the aura of a quasi-saint, who else in the prehistoric world could be Dijiang?

Many powerful figures looked at Dijiang with strange expressions, also guessing at Dijiang's intentions.

Dijiang attracted most of the attention, and Yi Shuihan was naturally overlooked. However, Yi Shuihan did not care about this, as he believed in the principle of being low-key.

However, Yi Shuihan wanted to keep a low profile, but he had to consider what others thought, and the next moment he couldn't keep a low profile anymore.

“Fellow Daoist Taiyi, there is still room next to me.”

Hongyun shouted at the top of his lungs, while Zhen Yuanzi beside him wore a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, it's been ten years! You seem to have gained a lot! Let's have another battle after the lecture."

First there was Hongyun, and now it's Tongtian. Both are top-tier powerhouses in the prehistoric world. This time, the other powerhouses dare not underestimate Yi Shuihan. It's not a big deal that he can gain Hongyun's approval, since everyone knows that Hongyun is a kind-hearted person. As for Tongtian, if you don't have a certain level of strength, he might not even give you a second glance. Moreover, if you listen to Tongtian and fight again, Yi Shuihan's strength is definitely on the same level as Tongtian's.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, this is our second meeting, isn't it? But we didn't speak last time. I've actually wanted to meet you for a long time, you're a powerful figure who can even chase down a Kunpeng."

This was another big news story. The one who said this was naturally Fuxi, which made the powerful figures who didn't know the details of Yi Shuihan understand a lot more instantly.

Kunpeng's strength is definitely among the top ten in Zixiao Palace, stronger than most others. The fact that Yi Shuihan can hunt down Kunpeng is enough to make everyone take him seriously.

"Senior brother, this fellow Daoist Taiyi is very strong!"

"Yes! Even I'm not sure."

Jieyin looked sorrowful, and his words stunned Zhunti. He knew how powerful his senior brother was; even Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones, might not be his match. Yet Jieyin said he wasn't confident against Taiyi. Didn't that mean Taiyi was at least on the same level as his senior brother?

Don't provoke them, try to befriend them! Zhunti instantly decided on his strategy towards Yi Shuihan.

"Zhunti's smile seems a bit lewd! Is it because of the prehistoric era that he has some subconscious prejudice against him?"

Yi Shuihan noticed Zhunti's friendly smile and suddenly felt something.

"Want to come together?"

Since they had come together, Yi Shuihan decided to take care of Dijiang and take him to the front to reserve a spot. Well, Kunpeng's spot was pretty good.

"No need, you go ahead, I'll just find a place anywhere."

Dijiang rejected Yishuihan's suggestion, then gazed "affectionately" at Dijun. Seeing Dijun's confused and bewildered expression, Dijiang felt incredibly satisfied, especially considering that Zhurong and the others might have already made their move, while Dijun was still completely unaware.

Yi Shuihan didn't insist and walked directly towards Hongyun. The powerful figures he didn't recognize made way for him and nodded in a friendly manner.

As Yi Shuihan passed by Kunpeng, he clearly felt Kunpeng's entire body tremble. He chuckled and ignored Kunpeng, believing that Kunpeng wouldn't dare to cause him any trouble.

"Brother Taiyi, the emotional intelligence system you gave me is really too difficult. I failed most of the tasks, but it is indeed very interesting."

Hongyun said excitedly.

Ten years is indeed a bit short; the system's modifications to Hongyun are far from sufficient!

Yi Shuihan could tell at a glance that Hongyun hadn't changed much from 10 years ago. Since she hadn't completed the mission, her emotional intelligence naturally wouldn't have improved. It was probably because Hongyun was too strong and the system was too weak, so the punishment was practically nonexistent. Hongyun didn't feel any pressure and didn't try her best to complete the mission, which is why she was like this.

"Perhaps we could introduce him to a quasi-saint system. The effect would definitely be different then. I just don't know if Hongyun can afford the value points. Even at cost price, it would be over 5. The ginseng fruit tree has been almost sold. Given the relationship between Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, Zhen Yuanzi might actually be willing!"

Lost in his own thoughts, Yi Shuihan listened quietly as Hongyun recounted his experiences. Tongtian had originally planned to chat with Yi Shuihan for a while, but seeing how happy Hongyun was, he didn't interrupt.

The system in Laozi's possession hasn't been recognized as a master yet, mainly because he doesn't know who to give it to. After all, none of the three of them have taken on any disciples yet. Laozi also plans to study the mysteries of system artifacts in detail, thinking that he might be able to create one himself.

"System, what's that? To complete tasks and get rewards?"

Those present were at least Great Luo Golden Immortals, and since Hongyun didn't try to hide anything, everyone heard his description of the system and got a general impression.

"An emotional intelligence system, another kind of system? He wasn't lying to us after all."

Dijiang has his own system, so he can naturally understand Hongyun's words.

"Taiyi, the powerful figure who was chasing Kunpeng, I never expected it to be him."

While Di Jun pondered Di Jiang's intentions, Donghuang Taiyi focused his attention on Yi Shuihan, revealing a hint of interest.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly appeared in the main hall, and the hall instantly fell silent.

"Hongjun!"

Yi Shuihan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Hongjun who had appeared. The Hongjun in front of him gave him a terrifying feeling. He even felt a sense of life and death crisis just thinking about attacking him. This surprised him greatly, because he had once killed a Saint-level expert. Now, he was facing Hongjun like this.

Hongjun has probably already reached the pinnacle of sainthood and is on his way to becoming a Chaos Emperor! However, he is destined not to become a true Chaos Emperor. When he begins to merge with the Dao, he will be half a Chaos Emperor. Once he successfully merges with the Dao, he will be comparable to a Chaos Emperor in the prehistoric world. To completely become a Chaos Emperor, he would have to suppress the Heavenly Dao and refine it, which is obviously too unlikely.

The realm of the Chaos Emperor is similar to that of the Heavenly Dao. However, every Chaos Emperor is stronger than the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao can only unleash the power of the Chaos Emperor in its own world, while the Chaos Emperor can unleash the power of the Chaos Emperor anywhere. Furthermore, the speed at which the Chaos Emperor can mobilize power is definitely faster than that of the Heavenly Dao.
