"This is……"

It had been more than a month since Yi Shuihan's Ghost Mother had been seen wandering around the perimeter of Yi Shuihan's secluded cultivation place. Suddenly, she sensed a strange fluctuation, and this fluctuation was still spreading.

From the fluctuations, the Ghost Mother seemed to hear the voice of the Great Dao constantly expounding one principle after another.

As a being at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, the Ghost Mother almost instantly confirmed that this was a phenomenon of breaking through from Enlightenment to Creation.

It is obvious that no one but Yi Shuihan could have caused this phenomenon.

"How could this be? He's about to break through so quickly. When we first met, he was only at the Path Seeking stage."

Staring in shock in the direction of the secret chamber, the Ghost Mother was in utter confusion.

Regardless of what happened to the Ghost Mother, the fluctuations continued to spread, reaching dozens of miles in the blink of an eye, and the speed of spread was still increasing.

"Who is breaking through to the Dao of Creation?"

"That direction? Is it the company's direction? Is the company about to produce another powerful cultivator at the Creation Realm?"

"It's actually a breakthrough to the Dao Creation Realm! This is a once-in-a-millennium event, and I never expected to encounter it today."

Chapter 1423, Please Call Me the Great Creator of the Dao

The Creation Dao realm is the closest to the Great Dao Emperor realm. When the Great Dao Emperor is born, extraordinary phenomena cover the entire universe. Although the Creation Dao realm is not as advanced, its extraordinary phenomena are still enough to cover dozens of realms. Therefore, when Yi Shuihan broke through, most of Chaos City was covered by this special extraordinary phenomenon.

Chaos City is the center of all the heavens and myriad realms, and the beings here have extremely high knowledge, so they quickly learned what this strange phenomenon represented. Even those who didn't know it at first learned from the explanations of the surrounding beings that it was a strange phenomenon caused by breaking through to the Dao.

Generally speaking, breaking through a realm is not something that can be disturbed. Most people who know they are about to break through will find a safe place to do so. However, it is slightly different from enlightenment to creation. If anyone tries to interfere at this time, they will first be met with the counterattack of the will of all the heavens and myriad realms. The first step of breaking through to creation is to gain the recognition of the will of all the heavens and myriad realms. This recognition is not for nothing.

Once recognized, one will receive full protection from all the heavens and myriad realms during the subsequent breakthrough period, which is equivalent to activating an invincible aura. Anyone who dares to interfere during this time will be regarded as an enemy of the will of all the heavens and myriad realms, and even if a Great Dao Emperor intervenes, they will face certain death.

That's why Yi Shuihan was so confident in making a breakthrough at the branch, without even seeking a protector.

Observing the breakthrough of the Dao is also a very beneficial thing, because the phenomena of the breakthrough will explain the Dao of the one who broke through. If those with lower realms can understand one or two things, their realm will rise sharply. Not to mention those below the Chaos Emperor, even those who seek the Dao in the Chaos Emperor Sect will gain a lot. Only the Enlightenment Realm cannot get much help, because the Enlightenment Realm has already surpassed one's own Dao, and accepting Yi Shuihan's Dao may lead one astray.

Of course, if one can maintain their original mindset while in the Enlightenment Realm, it is not impossible to gain some insights by borrowing from others.

Because of Yi Shuihan's breakthrough, almost the entire Chaos City became quiet. Many beings stopped what they were doing and turned to cultivation and enlightenment.

In every household, on the main street, in caves, and even in the wilderness and in unknown valleys, one can see creatures either sitting cross-legged or standing still with their eyes closed.

At this moment, the usually bustling Chaos City was unusually quiet.

Inside the secret chamber, Yi Shuihan's body floated in mid-air, with chains of rules manifesting around him. These chains formed the shape of a nebula, constantly rotating at an increasingly faster speed.

Each rotation gives birth to a new kind of energy, which is a dark yellow color and exudes endless truths. Nothing in the world can describe its nobility. Even the origin of a high-level world appears inferior under this dark yellow energy.

Time is an abstract concept used to describe the continuity and sequence of the movement and change of matter. But at this moment, it is no longer abstract; it has manifested from the concept and become a physical entity in front of Yi Shuihan.

When Yi Shuihan achieved enlightenment, he thoroughly understood time, the most fundamental concept constituting the world. Now, he is adding to it with more insights he has gained.

Once Yi Shuihan can add the principles he has comprehended that did not exist in the myriad worlds, it will mean that the Dao Seed has blossomed, and he can then step into the Creation Dao Realm.

To put it metaphorically, if Yi Shuihan wants to achieve the creation of the Dao, he needs to make the Dao of Time pregnant, and nurture his own Dao with the help of the Dao of Time. When this Dao is born, he will leave the Dao of Time and become his own Dao. That will be the moment when he steps into the Dao Emperor.

For humans to conceive, they need to fight their way through hundreds of millions of competitors, but what Yi Shuihan is doing is a billion times more difficult than that.

There is only one chance to go from enlightenment to creation. Once the breakthrough fails, there is only one result: death and the annihilation of one's Dao. This is why so many people at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, who have the qualifications to break through, do not attempt to do so.

The creation of the Dao is a watershed moment. From enlightenment to creation of the Dao, and even from creation of the Dao to becoming a Great Dao Emperor, the cost of failure is much higher than before. If you failed to break through before, you could still save your life if you were well prepared, and you could even rest and try to break through again. But if you fail to create the Dao, it is impossible to save your life unless you can withstand the backlash from the Great Dao of all the heavens and myriad worlds.

In any case, throughout history, there has never been a case of someone who failed to break through to the Dao Creation stage or failed to break through to the Great Dao Emperor stage and still managed to survive.

Rumor has it that even if someone wanted to save someone who had failed to break through to the Dao of Creation, it would be nearly impossible.

The strange phenomenon persisted, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Originally, Yi Shuihan was in a secret room, but now the secret room has disappeared, and even most of the company's branches have suffered devastating damage.

This was certainly not because anyone was taking advantage of the situation to loot or sabotage the company's branch; rather, it was because the commotion caused by Yi Shuihan's breakthrough was too great, and the secret chamber simply couldn't withstand it.

The company's branch in Chaos City is not as good as the headquarters. Its defense is at most able to defend against the level of a Chaos Emperor who has reached the Enlightenment Realm. Moreover, if the Enlightenment Realm keeps attacking, it will not be able to withstand it. As for the Creation Realm, which is above the Enlightenment Realm, it will collapse upon contact.

Most of the company's branches were destroyed, resulting in enormous losses. Under normal circumstances, someone would have already investigated and held them accountable, or even reported the matter to headquarters for assistance. However, the ones who destroyed the branches were their own people, the branch manager, and it was all because of a breakthrough.

If Yi Shuihan successfully breaks through, no one will bother him for the unintentional damage to a company branch. The value of a Creation Realm cultivator to the company far exceeds that of a branch. Even if ten branches are damaged, let alone one, the punishment will be insignificant.

If the breakthrough fails, then since they're already dead, what does it have to do with Yi Shuihan?

"It's done!"

As if by magic, a flower bloomed, and Yi Shuihan's realm changed from the Enlightenment Realm to the Creation Realm, making him a great power of creation, and he could invite heroes from all the heavens and myriad realms to participate in his ascension ceremony.

The strange phenomena in the void gradually dissipated, and sounds began to emerge in the Chaos City, breaking the silence.

"Billions of rays of light, the universe is born and revealed, has this meant a successful breakthrough? From now on, there is another great power who has created the Dao."

"They actually succeeded in breaking through! That's amazing."

"The company has gained another powerful figure; it truly has a formidable force!"

"Sigh, everyone else has already broken through, and I'm not even a True Saint yet."

Some were moved, some were envious, and some lamented; all aspects of life were on full display.

"From today onwards, please call me the Great Creator of the Way."

With a smile on his face, Yi Shuihan patted off non-existent dust and walked out of the secret room, which had now become ruins.

Chapter 1424, Strength Increases Again

Not long after I stepped outside, I saw several figures rapidly approaching. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were company employees.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, sir, and your attainment of the Great Power of Creation."

Each person who came before Yi Shuihan bowed respectfully and then offered their congratulations.

The newly emerged Dao Creation Realm expert is undoubtedly a golden thigh. How could these company employees not want to latch onto him? If they could catch Yi Shuihan's eye, they would be able to walk sideways in the company, and few people would dare to mess with them.

Even if Yi Shuihan didn't achieve the creation of the Dao, but only comprehended it, these employees' status was still far inferior. Normally, they couldn't find a reason to get close to Yi Shuihan, but now that Yi Shuihan had just broken through and was in a good mood, it would be foolish not to show off at this time.

As a result, Yi Shuihan was surrounded by congratulatory remarks, but no one mentioned that Yi Shuihan had destroyed most of the company's branch, as if they couldn't see it at all.

Yi Shuihan was indeed in a very good mood at this moment. He had broken through to the Creation Dao realm, and the next step was the Great Dao Emperor realm. With his strength at the Creation Dao realm, he would no longer be powerless against the Great Dao Emperor realm. He could barely withstand a few blows and then escape with the help of the system.

The pressure on him lessened considerably, so instead of immediately resolving the matter, he let the employees flatter him, treating it as a bit of fun.

Of course, all the people who could become company employees were smart. They were extremely good at flattery, knew what was important and how to advance and retreat. They didn't take up much of Yi Shuihan's time. Half an hour later, they dispersed and went back to their own work.

The branch was severely damaged, and the staff also need to carry out repairs. In addition, there are many people waiting outside to display Yi Shuihan, and they need to receive them as well.

"Sister-in-law, how have you been?"

Previously, the company employees surrounded Yi Shuihan, but Guimu did not follow them. Instead, she watched from a distance. She was still confused about how Yi Shuihan had achieved the Dao.

"You...you really broke through?"

The Ghost Mother asked hesitantly, because Yi Shuihan's progress was too exaggerated. Even though Yi Shuihan's breakthrough was obvious, she still couldn't believe it.

"Yes! It's finally a breakthrough. We've been stuck in the Enlightenment Realm for over a hundred million years."

Yi Shuihan seemed to have broken through a bit late, which made the Ghost Mother want to hit him.

Staying for over a hundred million years? Her Ghost Mother stayed in the Enlightenment Realm for hundreds of billions of years, and Yi Shuihan still complained that her breakthrough was too slow. So what should she think?

"Ye Dongsheng has broken through, and his junior brother has also broken through. I'm still just comprehending the Dao. I might as well break through too. At worst, I'll just die."

Such a thought arose in the Ghost Mother's mind. She was provoked by Yi Shuihan, and coupled with her misunderstanding of Ye Dongsheng, her mentality was already somewhat unbalanced, and she had the idea of ​​forcibly breaking through.

In this state, if the Ghost Mother were to attempt a breakthrough, she would inevitably perish.

Yi Shuihan was unaware of the Ghost Mother's recent thoughts. However, having already broken through to the Dao of Creation, and with the mark automatically removed during the breakthrough, he had gained a deeper understanding of the mark's essence. He felt he could try to alter the Ghost Mother's mark. Even if he couldn't remove it, he was confident that he could prevent the situation from worsening and that he would not alarm the Poison Heart Emperor.

"Come see me again in three days. I have something important to tell you."

Yi Shuihan planned to spend three days experiencing the power of creation and also to see how much the system had improved because of him.

"Why can't we talk about this now, instead of waiting three days?"

The Ghost Mother believed that Yi Shuihan was talking about Ye Dongsheng, and she wished she could grab Yi Shuihan and make him talk about it immediately, but on the surface she still pretended not to care.

"See you in three days then!"

Yi Shuihan completely ignored the Ghost Mother and walked away leisurely.

The Ghost Mother raised her hand to stop him, but before she could speak, Yi Shuihan's figure had already disappeared. After achieving the Dao Creation, Yi Shuihan became even more elusive, and the Ghost Mother couldn't react at all.

Staring blankly in the direction Yi Shuihan had left, the Ghost Mother finally let out a cold snort and departed after a long while.

The branch was mostly destroyed because of Yi Shuihan's breakthrough, including Yi Shuihan's own residence and the Ghost Mother's residence. However, they were not ordinary people, so it was extremely easy for them to find a temporary place to live, which saved Yi Shuihan a lot of trouble.

Yi Shuihan casually found a place in the branch and built a temporary cave dwelling underground, where he began to study the changes after his breakthrough.

"Very good. The body is ten times stronger than the Enlightenment Dao, and the soul is several times stronger. This is just the beginning. The gap between the most powerful Creation Dao and Enlightenment Dao is more than ten thousand times, and theoretically it can be infinitely widened. However, generally, when the gap reaches ten thousand times, one is qualified to break through to the Great Dao Emperor level."

"Holy Spirit, have you undergone any major changes? For example, have you added any heaven-defying functions that would allow me to fight against the Great Dao Emperor with the power of creation?"

"Host is overthinking it. There's no heaven-defying ability; it's just that the power has been significantly enhanced. The most obvious improvement is that if you were to encounter that scene at the altar again, there's a 90% chance you wouldn't be transported with the Poison Heart Emperor. The teleportation ability's resistance to interference has been greatly improved, and also..."

Despite nothing actually happening that caused Yi Shuihan's combat power to reach the level of a Great Dao Emperor, he was still extremely excited after hearing the system's introduction.

Yi Shuihan can now be considered the strongest in the Creation Dao Realm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him invincible in the Creation Dao Realm. And this is only after he broke through. If he waits until he reaches the peak of the Creation Dao Realm, he might actually have the strength to fight the Great Dao Emperor head-on.

"If I want to remove the Ghost Mother's mark without being discovered by the Poison Heart Emperor, what are my chances of success?"

"Based on calculations, there is a 100% chance of removing the Ghost Mother's mark. However, if the removal is carried out without being discovered by the Poison Heart Emperor, the chance is only 60%. It is recommended that the host improve his strength before taking action."

"What are the chances of me escaping from the Poison Heart Emperor now?"

"Without the ambush of the Poison Heart Emperor, as long as the energy is not exhausted, the host has a 100% chance of escaping. Even if he falls into an ambush, he still has a 70% chance of escaping."

As he kept repeating a few numbers to himself, Yi Shuihan's expression shifted between light and dark.

"Damn it, let's do it. At worst, we'll be hunted down. A 60% chance of success is already pretty good. We can take the gamble."

Chapter 1425, Discussing the Removal of the Brand

Time flew by and it was the fourth day after Yi Shuihan's breakthrough, which was also three days later as Yi Shuihan had said.

On this day, the Ghost Mother Queen arrived in front of Yi Shuihan early, appearing quite anxious. Of course, on the surface, she seemed in no hurry at all and appeared very indifferent.

In just three days, the ruins of the branch have disappeared, and it has basically returned to its original appearance, as if it had not been destroyed at all. How could a construction team with at least the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal not be able to build quickly?

"Speak quickly, I have other things to do!"

"The Ghost Mother Queen said coldly."

"Don't rush, sit down and talk slowly."

He gestured for her to sit down, and then looked at the Ghost Mother Queen quietly, appearing very serious.

"Ok?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan with surprise, the Ghost Mother Queen's previously agitated heart calmed down, and she even felt a little uneasy.

She pulled out a chair and slowly sat down, her eyes never leaving Yi Shuihan's face throughout the entire process.

"Do you remember the Poison Heart Emperor?"

After a moment, Yi Shuihan spoke.

"Why did you suddenly ask that person why?"

The ghost mother asked in confusion.

Instead of directly answering the Ghost Mother's question, Yi Shuihan continued, "We were both chosen to help him recover from his injuries on that nameless planet. Everything was normal, and we successfully completed the transaction. However, the Poison Heart Emperor left something on us. It was because of that thing that my senior brother drove you away."

"What!?"

The Ghost Mother's expression changed drastically, clearly indicating that she had thought of something bad.

"Branding, he branded us all, as for the purpose of those brands..."

After hearing Yi Shuihan's story, the Ghost Mother Queen was completely stunned. She sat there motionless, having suffered a huge blow. The truth almost made her despair; she felt it would have been better not to know at all!

The mark of the Poisonous Heart Emperor was like a mountain pressing down on the Ghost Mother Queen, making it hard for her to breathe.

Anyone who suddenly finds out they've become a puppet would react like the Ghost Mother Queen, or even go insane. The Ghost Mother Queen's reaction is already considered excellent.

"Well, the brand can be removed."

Yi Shuihan didn't want the Ghost Mother Queen to continue like this, after all, she was his master's sister-in-law.

"It can be...removed, you said it can be removed."

The Ghost Mother's eyes lit up instantly, looking at Yi Shuihan like a drowning patient grasping at a last straw.

“That’s right, the brand on my body has been removed.”

"What about what's on my body?"
