"No, I will abandon the mission in this world and return to the Main God Space, although I will suffer some losses in the process."

"If you don't go back and stay in this world, wouldn't that also be a way of leaving the Main God Space?"

"I've reached my limit in this world. If I want to improve, I have to leave this world. Not only do I lack the ability to leave, but even if I could, the God Realm would detect me the moment I leave, and then..."

Eddie didn't say what would happen then, but Yi Shuihan could vaguely guess that it definitely wouldn't be anything good.

Eddie didn't mention anything about contracts. Although he did have a contract, it belonged to the Main God Space and had no binding force on Yi Shuihan, especially since their deal was about leaving the Main God Space.

The real big prize, the origin of the world, is still not obtained by Yi Shuihan. What Eddie gave up was only a small part of him. In exchange, it was still worthwhile for him to have a chance to escape the main god space.

No one knows exactly what Yi Shuihan and Eddie said, but while they were talking, Eddie used a special method to seal off the surrounding space.

In the eyes of others, Yi Shuihan and Eddie talked for a while, and then Yi Shuihan suddenly made a move and completely eliminated Eddie in a way that they could not understand, becoming the true savior.

"By the way, he hasn't said how we can meet again. Is it by luck? Or does he have a way to locate my position?"

Yi Shuihan wasn't worried that Eddie would bring stronger people to deal with him. He had great confidence in his system, and besides, he wasn't without powerful backers.

If Eddie could actually attract someone powerful enough to pose no threat to Yi Shuihan, then Yi Shuihan would consider himself unlucky. He didn't believe Eddie could come into contact with such a powerful being.

Chapter 637, Divine Power Transformation Completed

Having resolved the matter of the Kunxu Secret Realm, Yi Shuihan did not linger there but returned directly by the same route, leaving behind a cool and aloof figure.

"I wonder if the Boundary Fruit can help me break through again."

In the secret chamber, Yi Shuihan held the cyan Boundary Fruit in his hand and muttered to himself. He was not far from reaching the Silver 3-star level. If the Boundary Fruit really had the great effect that Eddie said, he should pay attention to pushing his realm to Silver 3-star, which would mean advancing from a Loose Immortal to an Earth Immortal.

The realms of immortality begin with the low-level Loose Immortal, followed by Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, and so on. The corresponding universal realms in the system are 12 stars, 34 stars, 56 stars, and 79 stars, respectively, which are equivalent to silver. After Golden Immortal, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is considered to have truly embarked on the path of the strong and become a gold-level being, who is considered a minor boss in all the heavens and myriad realms.

He swallowed the Boundary Fruit in one gulp, and then Yi Shuihan entered a state similar to enlightenment, his understanding of the laws rapidly increasing, each second equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation.

Several hours later, Yi Shuihan suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, and his aura rapidly increased in strength, multiplying dozens of times in just a few breaths.

Above Yi Shuihan, heavenly punishment thunderclouds rapidly gathered. Compared to the Kunxu people breaking through to the Immortal Realm and reaching the level of Loose Immortal, Yi Shuihan's heavenly punishment was more than a hundred times stronger.

Unlike breaking through to the Immortal Realm, Yi Shuihan only attracted divine punishment after breaking through, while the latter broke through after being punished in advance. The difference may be because Yi Shuihan's breakthrough speed was too fast, and even the world's will did not react in time. Moreover, in a suitable world, breaking through from a Loose Immortal to an Earth Immortal or even a Celestial Immortal should not require tribulation.

"In the past, I would have had to use a Heaven-Covering Pill, but now I should be able to barely withstand this heavenly punishment!"

His figure vanished instantly, appearing tens of thousands of meters above the ground, where he began to confront the heavenly punishment.

Yi Shuihan dared not be careless in the face of his divine punishment, and was on high alert, immediately using the Heaven-Covering Pill if anything seemed amiss.

The first bolt of tribulation lightning descended quickly, and Yi Shuihan decided to withstand it head-on in order to see the true power of this heavenly punishment.

"Good heavens, this attack power is definitely comparable to a Silver 4-star, and I've only broken through to Silver 3-star!"

Yi Shuihan was shocked. Without hesitation, he immediately used his direct tribulation lightning divine power to fight against the heavenly punishment with all his might.

The roaring sound continued in the sky, and could be heard throughout the Three Kingdoms world. Fortunately, having learned from previous experiences, the people of the Han Dynasty were much calmer this time, although most of them still fainted immediately.

"No, my power is not enough to survive this divine punishment."

When the Heavenly Punishment reached its 50th strike, Yi Shuihan already felt somewhat powerless, and some injuries began to appear on his body.

"Does this mean we have to use the Heaven-Covering Pill?"

Yi Shuihan was hesitant, but the Heavenly Punishment would not give him time to think carefully.

Just as he was about to give up and take out the Heaven-Covering Pill, an unexpected event occurred. His Tribulation Lightning Divine Power finally completed its final transformation, increasing in power dozens of times. He went from being at a disadvantage to having the upper hand, and from struggling to hold on to being able to handle things with ease.

Surprises always come so suddenly; even Yi Shuihan didn't expect that he would achieve another breakthrough at this time.

However, upon closer reflection, this was inevitable. After all, the power of the heavenly punishment he faced was far greater than that of those heavenly punishments used to break through to the immortal realm, so it was only natural that it could meet the final requirements for his breakthrough.

With the tribulation lightning transformation complete, Yi Shuihan's strength has reached another level. If he was unsure whether he could defeat Eddie before, he now has absolute confidence that he can defeat or even kill him.

It can be said that although Yi Shuihan has only just broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, ordinary Golden Immortals would not be his match. He has crossed two major realms to kill enemies, and he has even crossed the Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal realms, which are in the middle and late stages. Yi Shuihan can be considered a true genius in all the worlds. The protagonist of most great worlds is probably like him.

"I wonder if the tribulation lightning divine power after the transformation belongs to the gold skill category, it should be close!"

Since the system is temporarily unavailable, Yi Shuihan can only make judgments based on his own assumptions.

While still under divine punishment, Yi Shuihan couldn't properly comprehend the transformed tribulation lightning divine power, so he had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.

Nothing unexpected happened afterward, and Yi Shuihan successfully survived the heavenly tribulation. The only price he paid for the entire tribulation was minor external injuries, and by the time the tribulation ended, his injuries had fully healed.

After changing his clothes, Yi Shuihan appeared in everyone's sight, looking refreshed. Seeing the concerned looks in Cai Yan's and the others' eyes, he felt very warm inside.

"Husband, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine! What can a mere divine punishment do to me?"

"Pfft, good, good, you're the best."

After a period of comforting and playful banter, things finally calmed down, and Yi Shuihan had time to begin carefully studying the tribulation lightning after the transformation.

"Phew, it didn't disappoint me at all. The power of this divine ability is truly heaven-defying."

After studying it for several days, Yi Shuihan finally gained a basic understanding of the abilities of the Tribulation Lightning Divine Power after the transformation. In addition to the most basic increase in power and simulation of heavenly punishment, Yi Shuihan could also do two other things using the power of the Tribulation Lightning Divine Power. One was to force someone to undergo tribulation. For example, if you were in the tribulation period and did not want to undergo the tribulation of becoming an immortal because you were not fully prepared, Yi Shuihan could directly activate your aura and then you would be forced to undergo tribulation.

Of course, this also has its drawbacks. It requires that the person undergoing the tribulation passively has reached the standard to undergo the tribulation. If they have just broken through to the tribulation stage but are not at the peak of the tribulation stage, then it will not be of much use.

The second thing is to eliminate karma. This ability is not very useful to Yi Shuihan now, but it will be very useful in the future. If he were to go to a world similar to the prehistoric world, with this ability, he would basically not be punished by the Heavenly Dao. No matter how great the sins he committed, the Heavenly Dao would not find him because the karma had been eliminated.

Some skills based on cause and effect have become ineffective against Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 638, Attempting to Transform Spirit Stones

Even though his supernatural powers had been fully transformed, Yi Shuihan still followed his own words and, when the third month arrived, selected three more people to help him through the tribulation.

Since he didn't need divine punishment to help him comprehend, Yi Shuihan went all out from the start, destroying the divine punishment with overwhelming force, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

Many people who had not yet broken through begged Yi Shuihan for help, using every trick in the book, from persistent pleading to offering their daughters and granddaughters, but in the end they were all unsuccessful. Yi Shuihan never helped them break through even once again.

Now Yi Shuihan's life became much more peaceful. For the next 50 years, he did nothing special, just lived an ordinary life with his woman in the Three Kingdoms world.

Originally, Yi Shuihan wanted to have a child, after all, 50 years is not a short time. But perhaps because his life level was too high, he was unable to fulfill his wish in the end. This made him feel a little bitter and amused. He didn't want children before, so he didn't have any. Now that he wanted them, he still didn't have any.

Fifty years can change a lot of things. In the 33rd year, the Three Kingdoms world finally advanced to a world that could accommodate bronze, and eventually developed to be no less than Kunxu.

As for advancing to a higher Silver World, that cannot be achieved in a short time; it takes tens of millions of years, and the world must continue to develop positively. If any unexpected events occur during that time, then that's another story.

The reason why it was able to advance to the Bronze World in such a short time is because the world itself was originally silver, which is a higher grade of bronze.

After successfully restoring to the Bronze level, the world expanded considerably, and various magical creatures began to appear. Demons, which were previously only recorded in legends, are now considered relatively common.

Everything from clothing, food, housing, and transportation has undergone tremendous changes. Even hovercars are commonplace. It can be said that in just 50 years, the Three Kingdoms world has achieved an evolutionary level equivalent to more than a thousand years.

In 50 years, Yi Shuihan's strength did not make much progress because he had exhausted the funds he had received from the company in advance. Without immortal stones, his cultivation speed was greatly slowed down.

In contrast to Yi Shuihan, his women all successfully broke through to the Silver level, also known as Loose Immortal, with his help. Yi Shuihan spent a great deal of effort to achieve this, essentially building up their strength through sheer force.

"The system should be fully upgraded in a few days. It's been so long in the blink of an eye."

Beach, volleyball, beautiful women, and the sea. At this moment, Yi Shuihan was only wearing underwear, lying on a beach chair, sunbathing. Not far away, his women were also dressed lightly and playing to their hearts' content.

Time has left no trace on them; they still look as beautiful and captivating as they did 50 years ago.

Apart from Yi Shuihan, there were no other men present, so only Yi Shuihan could enjoy the view. Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan's mind was not on this; just now, an interesting idea had popped into his head.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan was quite satisfied with the past 50 years. The only thing that bothered him was the progress of his strength. After all, even his women had become Silver, even if they were only Silver 1-star, while he was still stuck at Silver 3-star.

"Immortal stones are just spirit stones with a higher concentration. Can I transform spirit stones into immortal stones?"

In essence, absorbing both immortal stones and spirit stones is absorbing spiritual energy. However, absorbing spirit stones requires much more time to reach the same level of spiritual energy, and there is also a conversion process in between.

If there were a way to convert spirit stones into immortal stones, wouldn't I be able to continue improving rapidly, or at least not as slowly as I am now?

So the question is, how exactly can this be done?

How can we process spirit stones like refining elixirs to extract the most essential parts?

Yi Shuihan tried it and it worked, but less than one ten-thousandth of the essence comparable to immortal stone could be extracted from a spirit stone, and ninety-nine percent of it was wasted.

Clearly, this method is counterproductive and unreliable.

Using magical methods to transform matter, spirit stones and immortal stones are essentially the same; they only require continuous compression.

The idea is good, but there are no specific implementation methods yet; it's still pending.

"Maybe I should try that."

The image of the magic Nicolas Flamel demonstrated when they first met flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind—the magic of equivalent exchange, which required communication with the Gate of Truth to succeed.

Yi Shuihan drew a magic circle according to his memory, and then put 1 spirit stones into the magic circle, which piled up to the size of a small hill.

"What was it again? Gate of Truth, in accordance with the covenant of the world's will, descend from that infinite void!"

A moment later, nothing happened. A gentle breeze brushed against Yi Shuihan's face, making him slightly embarrassed.

"Was my tone wrong? Let's try again. Gate of Truth, obey the covenant of the world's will, descend from that infinite void!"

"Perhaps a change is needed. With arrays as the foundation, spirit as the bond, and God as the guide, emerge! My companions, Gate of Truth!"

"Gate of Truth, heed my call, descend upon this place from the distant void,"

"..."

Yi Shuihan's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) seemed to have erupted, as he kept chanting various embarrassing incantations, causing the girls who were having a good time to look at him strangely.

"Is my husband ill?"

"Yes, it must be an illness, otherwise why would it be so strange?"

"I know, this is chuunibyou. Yi once told me that when it happens, he always says strange things."

"What should we do? Is there any medicine?"

"There is no cure for this disease, but generally speaking, it is not a big problem once the onset time has passed."

"That's good. But why did Brother Yi suddenly fall ill?"

Amidst the slightly worried gazes of the women, and without anyone knowing what incantation Yi Shuihan had chanted, the magic circle beneath his feet began to flicker with a pale blue light, which grew brighter and brighter.

Chapter 639, Random Exchange Magic

Just as he was about to continue chanting the incantation that even Yi Shuihan himself didn't understand, the light in front of him finally brought him back to his senses.

"What the heck? Does this mean I succeeded? No way, I was just saying it randomly."

Muttering to himself, Yi Shuihan stared blankly at everything before him, making no other move.

Within a few breaths, tens of thousands of spirit stones were completely enveloped by the blue light, then began to melt and rapidly shrink. When the light completely dissipated and everything calmed down, what remained in the magic circle was a green bean.

"Is this the end?"

Yi Shuihan picked up the bean and examined it, feeling completely bewildered. He had previously seen the spirit stone begin to melt and shrink, and thought it was going to be compressed into a celestial stone. But what remained was a bean that showed no resemblance whatsoever.

"Is it just an ordinary bean, or does this bean have some other special effect?"

Examining the bean in his hand closely, Yi Shuihan didn't sense anything special about it; it was just an ordinary bean.

If there's only one, Yi Shuihan wouldn't dare try it, since if it's really a good thing, once it's used, it's gone.

"Let's wait until the system update is complete before using the appraisal skill. Some skills purchased from the system were affected during the update."

Yi Shuihan casually tossed the bean into his personal space and placed another 1 spirit stones on the magic circle, intending to try again to see if he could get another bean like the one he had.

"What exactly did you mutter to activate the formation just now?"

As he carefully recalled what had happened, Yi Shuihan's expression quickly turned strange. He remembered that the formation had worked because of an evil incantation from a hentai anime he had once watched called "Dark Bible," which seemed to be used to worship the god of lust.

Even Yi Shuihan himself found it hard to believe that this thing would work.

He tentatively began to mutter, his voice no longer as loud as before, and in fact, he was deliberately suppressing it. He could accept being in a chuunibyou state before, but now he felt a little ashamed to be saying this, even though he knew that only he could understand the meaning of what he was saying at the scene.

"Isn't it?"

As he watched the familiar blue light bloom, Yi Shuihan felt completely overwhelmed.

The process was exactly the same: the spirit stone was completely enveloped, and then melted and shrank.

When Yi Shuihan thought there would be another bean, reality told him he was wrong.

A medicinal pill, exuding a medicinal fragrance, floated quietly in the center of the formation, appearing to be of a much higher quality than the previous beans.

"Could it be some kind of aphrodisiac or something?"

Because of the incantation, Yi Shuihan immediately thought in that direction.

"Huh, it's actually this, a Nascent Soul Pill? I was wondering why it looked so familiar."

This pill was the very same Nascent Soul Pill that Yi Shuihan had obtained in the Blackwater True Lord's cave. It looked freshly made and still had a trace of heat.

"They're using the same ten thousand spirit stones and the same incantation, so why are the ingredients completely different?"
