"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that."
Yi Shuihan finally made a decision: he would not be their nanny. This may sound heartless, but it was also normal. Yi Shuihan's relationship with them was not as good as people imagined, and he had come to the God Space with a mission.
"It's alright, Brother Taiyi, you're a Silver-ranked person, while we're only Bronze and Iron-ranked. If we follow you into those dangerous worlds, we might die even faster."
Xia Xinran spoke these words with great difficulty, looking as if she was about to cry.
"Actually, I plan to be a solo player and have no intention of forming a team." After explaining, Yi Shuihan spoke again, "Although I can't team up with you, I can help you become stronger. If you stay with Ador and there is no longer my influence, you will no longer enter the Blood War. Ador's identity will make your missions less extreme. As long as your strength increases, the danger will be much lower than following me."
Wu Qingxuan suddenly raised her head and cried out in surprise.
"what happened?"
"Taiyi transferred 10 survival points to me, I..."
"These 100,000 survival points are for the six of you. With these survival points, your strength will increase significantly, and the next world should be much easier."
"Besides the survival points, you will come to me every day from now on, and I will teach you some things to help you improve your strength in the next world."
The 10 survival points completely broke down the barrier caused by Yi Shuihan's previous refusal to form a team, and the women's attitude towards Yi Shuihan became friendly again.
“I shouldn’t have misunderstood him. He was really thinking about us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have auctioned us back and torn up the contract.”
Xia Xinran blushed, feeling ashamed for having thought Yi Shuihan was heartless when he rejected her.
He had already spent 150,000 survival points for them, so spending another 100,000 wouldn't be a big deal. Survival points weren't a big deal for Yi Shuihan. He still had 56,000 survival points left, which was enough for the time being.
Afterwards, Yi Shuihan talked about his experiences in the advanced world and introduced A Wu to the women. The room was filled with laughter and conversation.
Chapter 1140, The Three Eccentric Musketeers
In Yi Shuihan's villa training room, Yi Shuihan quietly watched the six women who were cultivating immortality. They were all surrounded by a silver aura, a special spiritual energy that was several times purer than ordinary spiritual energy.
The cultivation technique was naturally given by Yi Shuihan, and this training room was also expanded by Yi Shuihan at the cost of 6000 survival points, just to cultivate the six girls.
Yi Shuihan possessed the memories of the original body, containing countless cultivation techniques that did not require survival points. Therefore, he selected a suitable technique for each of the six women, sufficient for them to cultivate to the silver level, or even advance to the gold level.
If you were to exchange this cultivation technique at the main hall, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of survival points for each step, and that's only because the technique requires personal cultivation.
Moreover, Yi Shuihan also purchased a large amount of materials to refine pills. Compared to finished pills, the price of materials was much lower, saving dozens of times the cost.
With Yi Shuihan, the best teacher, as guidance, and suitable elixirs for cultivation, Ya Duo'er and the others cultivated faster than traveling in a spaceship, changing every single day.
Sure enough, a week has passed, and even the weakest cultivators have reached the level of a 7-star Black Iron cultivator. It's estimated that they will all have the strength of a Bronze cultivator when they enter the next mission world. The two strongest elf sisters should also have the same strength as Polik and the others by then.
If other reincarnators knew about this speed of advancement, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop.
Of course, while nurturing the girls, Yi Shuihan himself and A Wu did not lag behind, and their progress was even more rapid. After all, Yi Shuihan did not need to think about the issue of realm; he only needed to accumulate cultivation to break through. Bottlenecks did not exist. Breaking through to a new realm required settling down or adapting, which were also nonexistent.
Therefore, after 7 days, Yi Shuihan's strength has been updated to Silver 3-star. Generally speaking, in the God Realm, reincarnators need to go through several worlds to advance from Silver to 3 stars.
Time flies, and another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
"It's time to enter a new world."
With a muttered command, Yi Shuihan mentally linked with the Main God and selected to undertake a mission. Although there were still more than 10 days left before his rest period, Yi Shuihan did not intend to stay in the Main God's space any longer. He had already made arrangements for Ya Duo'er and the others, leaving them enough pills. It was time to consider his own affairs.
The reason for choosing to enter the world ahead of time is that Yi Shuihan had already exhausted his resources two days ago and upgraded another star.
With tens of thousands of survival points, he was able to advance to Silver 4-star, thanks to his superb alchemy skills. For this, Yi Shuihan should thank his true self. Although his true self does not focus on alchemy and his level is not particularly high, it depends on the comparison. Refining Silver-level pills is still very easy for him.
......
"Five people?"
As the first person to wake up, Yi Shuihan immediately checked the number of people and found that there were 4 other people besides him. These 4 people were all quite strong. There were 2 Silver 1-star, 2 Silver 2-star, and Yi Shuihan, with his 4-star strength, was considered the leader.
"As expected, the strength gained in the reincarnation space is not counted in the next world, which is why my teammates are silver one or two stars, instead of four or five stars."
Yi Shuihan also gathered some information in the Main God Space and learned that the difficulty of each mission in the Main God Space increases with each mission. The specific difficulty is based on the strength shown in the previous world. If one can greatly increase their strength during their time in the Main God Space, then the next world will be extremely easy.
Therefore, the best way to thrive in the God Realm is to maintain a steady growth rate and improve yourself as much as possible before the next world.
Yi Shuihan was nominally a Silver 4-star, but his actual combat strength was much higher. The gap between him and the teammates assigned by the main god was quite large. Therefore, Yi Shuihan waited for a full half hour before the second person woke up.
"You woke up before me? How is that possible!"
The person who woke up saw Yi Shuihan and immediately cried out in surprise, their face filled with disbelief.
Yi Shuihan gave him a cold look, and the person who was shouting shut up and obediently walked to the side, but there was still suspicion in his eyes.
In the next few minutes, the remaining three people also woke up one after another. Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that the four of them did not belong to the same team. Three of them were in one team, and the other one seemed to be a solo player like Yi Shuihan.
"Let's introduce ourselves first! We are the three swordsmen of the swordsman team. I am the Heavenly Sword, he is the Earthly Sword, and he is the Human Sword. Together we are known as the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Three Swordsmen."
The second guy to wake up, the one who was shouting that it was impossible, said.
"The Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man? It sounds like a scam. Can't you be less gimmicky and more sincere?"
Another casual player said, rather speechlessly.
"Don't mistake these for code names. They are actually our real names. Before coming to the Main God Space, I never imagined that I would meet the brothers Earth Sword and Human Sword. What a coincidence!"
"Yes! I am so lucky to have met my eldest brother and third brother. As long as we are together, we will become big shots in the gold industry sooner or later."
"Big brother, second brother."
"Second brother, third brother."
"Eldest brother, third brother."
As they talked, the three musketeers formed a triangle, and with tears in their eyes, they embraced each other without regard for the occasion. The scene was very beautiful, but Yi Shuihan still didn't want to watch.
"It's a miracle that the three of them are still alive!"
Yi Shuihan sighed inwardly.
"Can't you three just shut up for a second? How disgusting!"
Another casual player said with obvious disdain, and even made a gesture of covering his eyes.
"kindness?"
"You have a problem with that!"
Six large eyes, three of which were filled with anger, glared at them instantly. The three musketeers' tacit understanding was not just talk; it was a perfect agreement and coordination.
"No, you can continue."
"I said it so brightly."
"Big brother, second brother."
"Second brother, third brother."
"Eldest brother, third brother."
The scene repeated itself, with the three oddballs embracing each other once again.
Chapter 1141, Defense Mission
"What do you call this brother?"
The eccentricities of the Three Musketeers led another individual, a wandering soul, to grow closer to Yi Shuihan. As a wandering soul, he knew how to survive in the mission world and that it was essential to build good relationships with companions. Even if good relationships couldn't be built, it was crucial to avoid creating rifts.
"Too easy."
"So it's Brother Taiyi. My name is Willett. I'm a summoner with two magical pets, one offensive and one defensive, both Silver 1-star. They don't have much combat ability themselves, so please keep an eye on them, brother."
Wellit was clearly not telling the truth. At least, his statement that he had no combat ability was incorrect. Yi Shuihan could sense that the explosive power hidden in his body was not much even at the Silver 2-star level. This person seemed to be the fourth to wake up, but in terms of timing, he was the third. If what he said about having two magical pets was true, his actual combat power might even be above that of Tianjian.
Yi Shuihan gave Willit a meaningful look but didn't reply. He didn't intend to expose Willit either. As a free agent, it would be really strange if he didn't hide his strength under these circumstances. Free agents who can survive in the God Realm must have extraordinary abilities.
"Brother Taiyi, are you on the path of cultivating immortality? You look so handsome in that Taoist robe. If I weren't a man, I'd probably be attracted to you too."
"I'm joking," Willett said, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his eyes as he saw that Yi Shuihan remained unmoved.
Just as Willit was about to say something more to Yi Shuihan, the mission notification from the Main God Space finally sounded.
Main quest: Help the Mara Empire resist the evil invasion and ensure it is not destroyed within thirty days.
Mission Reward: 20000 Survival Points
Side quest: Not triggered yet; will unlock upon meeting certain conditions.
The task is simple, but in reality it is far more difficult than the God of War has instructed. First of all, what exactly does the evil invasion refer to, and how does it occur? If you don't understand this, you won't even know why the task failed.
"It's a defensive mission, this is troublesome."
Willett's expression was rather unpleasant.
Yi Shuihan knew why Willit's expression was not good. It was said in the God Space that offense was always easier than defense because offense had a target and you knew what you were facing. Defense, on the other hand, was more of a nightmare. You never knew what kind of enemy you would encounter next. Because of the mission, you had to stay in one area, which was not as flexible as offensive missions.
In addition, there is another frustrating aspect to the defense mission: if the reincarnators perform too strongly, the world difficulty may increase. In other words, enemies that could have been easily dealt with will now become enemies that the reincarnators cannot handle.
When dealing with this kind of defensive mission, the reincarnators all have a consensus: to conceal their strength as much as possible and not to reveal their full power until the critical moment. In this way, although the battle may be more difficult, the possibility of unexpected events will be greatly reduced.
As the mission was completed, the surrounding scenery became clearer. Yi Shuihan and the others appeared in a magnificently decorated room, which was spotless and clearly cleaned regularly.
A knock sounded on the door, accompanied by a deep voice.
"His Majesty has ordered that several Grand Masters of the Nation be summoned to the palace to discuss important matters."
Upon hearing this, Yi Shuihan's expression shifted, realizing that these reincarnated beings were none other than the Guardian Masters.
They exchanged a glance, understanding each other's meaning, and decided to go and see for themselves first.
So the five of them left the room, with Willett leading the way, and followed the newcomers into the palace.
Soon the group arrived at a grand hall and met the so-called Emperor, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and was quite plump. He appeared very kind, but the sharp glint in his eyes from time to time made people not dare to underestimate him.
Mara IX, the ninth king of the Mara Empire, ruled over an entire country and commanded billions of empires, comparable to the rulers of ancient nations, wielding immense power.
"Your Majesty, what business do you have with us?"
Upon seeing King Mala IX, Yi Shuihan and the others did not bow, but simply stood there calmly. King Mala IX did not take offense, as if he was already used to it, which made Yi Shuihan realize that their current status was not low.
"Five masters, I have summoned you here today because an extremely strange thing has happened within the empire. A month ago, a city with hundreds of thousands of people on the outskirts of the empire was deserted. According to intelligence, nothing was missing from the city except the people. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of clothing were also mysteriously left behind at the scene."
"Such strange events are usually handled by five masters, and we will have to trouble you all again this time."
After speaking, King Mala IX bowed slightly to Yi Shuihan and the others.
"I will handle this matter later. Your Majesty, just give us the complete relevant information."
Wei Lit's representative, Yi Shuihan, and the others agreed.
After returning from the palace, Yi Shuihan and the others went back to the room where they had first arrived.
"Do you think this is related to a demonic invasion?"
"It's most likely related, elder brother. Just in case, why don't my third brother and I go and take a look? You two stay here and see if there are any other unexpected developments."
“No, we three brothers are of one mind and body, how can we be separated? We should go together, or let the two of them go.”
"Before that, we need to understand the intelligence of this world. I have a skill that can control people with strength below Bronze. Let me show you."
Willett summoned a guard, subdued Yi Shuihan in front of him, and then began to question him about this world.
According to the guards, the continent they were on was the Western Continent. It was said that there was another continent, the Eastern Continent, on the other side of the sea. The guards did not know the situation of the Eastern Continent, but the Western Continent had three great empires, nine kingdoms, and hundreds of duchies of various sizes.
The Malla Empire was one of the three great empires, and its military strength ranked second among the three. Above it was the Holy Empire, which was stronger than the Malla Empire, and below it was the Eagle Empire, which was not much weaker than the Malla Empire.
The entire Western Continent is constantly at war, with duchies being destroyed or established every year. Even kingdoms have changed hands twice in the last hundred years. The three major powers have been mutually restraining each other for hundreds of years, each wanting to become the sole empire. However, once one empire shows such ambition, the other two empires will unite, which is why the stalemate has continued.
The strong in the Western Continent cultivate a power called essence and energy, which is divided into three major realms according to strength: spirit level, ghost level, and king level. Each major realm contains seven minor realms. This guard's strength is ghost level five, which is about bronze level one according to the standards of the main god space.
Without a doubt, Yi Shuihan and his companions possessed strength at the King level, or even surpassed it.
Chapter 1142, Defensive Array and Abnormal Maid
"Tell me, how many National Protector Masters were there originally?"
"There are a total of 10 National Protectors. The other 5 masters have been assigned by His Majesty to the frontier to confront the Holy Empire. It seems that the Holy Empire has made some moves recently."
The guard's voice was mechanical, sounding drowsy and muffled.
"What is the status of the Grand Master of the Nation in the Empire?"
"The Grand Master of the Nation's status is second only to His Majesty. Even His Majesty cannot force the Grand Master of the Nation to do anything. As the Grand Master of the Nation, as long as he does not rebel, he can do anything, including mobilizing troops."
"Do you have any other questions?"
"William said to Yi Shuihan and the others."
"Generally speaking, when it's necessary to dispatch the National Protection Master, how many are needed? Is there any basis for this?"
The man-sword said something, and the powerful figure nodded, repeating the sentence.
