Xuan Ying's attention was clearly not on this; his eyes were wandering, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The people around them saw what was happening between them, pointing and whispering, finding their relationship strange.

Most people would feel awkward in this situation, but Yi Shuihan and Xuan Ying were no ordinary people. They completely ignored the gazes of those around them and remained as steady as Mount Tai.

The dishes were served quickly, and soon the table was almost full. Even though Yi Shuihan was usually very picky about food, once he was tempted by the food, he knew that the food at this restaurant was not bad.

"Are you really planning to eat?"

Xuan Ying watched as Yi Shuihan picked up his chopsticks and started eating, completely baffled by Yi Shuihan's intentions. They were clearly enemies, yet now they were sitting together eating.

"Eat it! It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Noticing Xuan Ying's gaze, Yi Shuihan said in a "friendly" manner.

This attitude not only failed to make Xuan Ying feel goodwill, but also inexplicably made him feel agitated.

"enough!"

With a shout, Xuan Ying flipped the table, completely wasting a delicious meal.

Those who were also eating in the restaurant saw this and ran outside, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The food stall owner was on the verge of tears; none of the customers who ran away had paid their bills!

The shop owner, perhaps audacious or unaware of the situation, grabbed a cleaver and confronted Xuan Ying, saying, "You're here to cause trouble! You've scared all the customers away. What are you going to do about it? Don't leave until you give me satisfactory compensation. I'm protected by Brother Leopard. Haven't you heard? The last guy who caused trouble in my shop was drowned. You..."

Before the boss could finish speaking, the eagle swatted him like a fly, sending him flying backward and hanging on the wall. He then slowly fell to the ground, unconscious.

Besides the owner, there were two employees in the shop. They were originally standing aside cheering for the owner, but when they saw this scene, they were so frightened that they ran away half rolling and half crawling.

Actually, Yi Shuihan could have saved the boss just now, since the boss was also influenced by him. However, after hearing the boss's threat, Yi Shuihan silently chose not to move. This boss is no good either!

"Let me guess, you came here to destroy the Hong Kong Sanctuary, then release Dormammu to devour the Earth, and incidentally kill the Ancient One. You just need to make sure the Ancient One dies before you to complete the mission."

"I don't know what you're talking about. Who is Dormammu?"

"I see! It seems I guessed wrong. I just went to another temple and killed a few guys who seemed to have been corrupted by Dormammu's power. It seems I was overthinking it. It was all just a coincidence."

Upon hearing that Yi Shuihan had killed the other person, Xuan Ying could no longer remain calm. He glared fiercely at Yi Shuihan, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

"Oh my! What a scary look! I'm so scared."

These words ignited Xuan Ying, who immediately transformed into a demon and then decisively ran away. That's right, he turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.

Knowing that Yi Shuihan had killed the people from the other temple, Xuan Ying no longer had the idea of ​​destroying the Hong Kong temple. Now, his only thought was to leave Yi Shuihan's place and find an opportunity to destroy both temples.

Yi Shuihan was there to kill him, so he wouldn't let him escape. Without a word, he gave chase. He didn't use a speed that would make Xuan Ying despair, but he was still a little faster than Xuan Ying. Based on this situation, Xuan Ying would be caught up by Yi Shuihan in about 5 seconds.

After a three-second chase, Xuan Ying knew that this couldn't continue. He made a move that surprised even Yi Shuihan: he lunged forward and then burrowed directly into the ground, leaving a small hole.

"Wow, this is concrete! Is this earth-burrowing technique used by demons who specialize in digging underground tunnels?"

Yi Shuihan could sense that even underground, the speed of the Xuan Ying was still quite fast, even faster than on the ground, which was completely illogical.

Yi Shuihan was against burrowing underground, but he had no choice. If he didn't unleash his ultimate move, he wouldn't be able to stop the Xuan Ying from escaping. And unleashing his ultimate move would probably wipe out the entire Hong Kong. Forget about America, this is Hong Kong, and Yi Shuihan still had to be careful, after all, they had the same skin and hair color as him.

"To be honest, I'm not very good at the Five Elements Escape Technique, but it's still more advanced than yours, which relies on brute force to dig."

With one hand, he formed a handprint, and with a gentle step on the ground, Yi Shuihan merged into the earth. At this moment, Yi Shuihan seemed to be one with the earth, able to move freely in the soil.

The pursuit resumed, and under Yi Shuihan's guidance, the two traveled from underground all the way to the seabed, finally reaching a place where Yi Shuihan could fight with unrestrained force.

Chapter 1182, The Quiet Return

Thousands of meters deep in the ocean, this is a forbidden zone for humans. Even in the technologically advanced 21st century, when humanity has traveled all over the earth and even reached amazing places that space has not yet reached.

At this moment, two humans appeared here, disturbing the tranquility of the ancient sea creatures in the pitch-black depths of the ocean.

"It's time to take action."

If they acted here, as long as it wasn't a nuclear-level attack, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the ground. Yi Shuihan finally felt free to act.

Compared to Yi Shuihan, Xuan Ying was clearly not very suitable for the deep sea. His speed had dropped significantly since he arrived in the deep sea, and his demonized body was showing signs of reverting to its original state, indicating that he had no way out.

The most dangerous moment for a living being is not when it is at its peak, but when it is on the verge of death. At that moment, it will unleash power beyond its peak, even if the price of using that power is enormous, such as paralysis or even death.

Yi Shuihan slowly depleted Xuan Ying's strength like a hunter, giving the opponent a glimmer of hope to escape, so that it wouldn't do something like self-destruction. Of course, whether Xuan Ying has any self-destruction techniques is still a question.

About 10 minutes later, Xuan Ying had completely withdrawn from demonization. Now he didn't even have the strength to fight to the death, and finally perished in the deep sea with unwilling eyes.

"Why does it always feel so easy?"

The notification from the Main God Space that he had obtained the Bloodstained Treasure Chest meant the complete death of the Blood Kill Squad's captain. Yi Shuihan became somewhat melancholy. He had imagined that Xuan Ying would have at least one or two trump cards, but in the end, not a single trump card was revealed, making all his caution futile.

In fact, this is because Yi Shuihan overestimated the Reincarnators. Reincarnators are indeed very powerful, even comparable to some world protagonists at times, but not all Reincarnators are so powerful. Xuan Ying is actually quite good, but the person he was facing was Yi Shuihan. If it were anyone else who was at the same level as Yi Shuihan on the surface, Xuan Ying could at least have escaped, or even killed them directly through scheming and trickery.

If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, how could he have subdued Uchiha Kaga, who possessed divine power, and how could he have used the secret technique of "everything has form"? Yi Shuihan might not have thought much of this secret technique, but in fact, it would definitely be a top-tier secret technique in the Main God Space, and its value might even be higher than that of demonization.

It's not that the enemy is too weak, it's that our side is using too many cheats!

Having arrived here, Yi Shuihan had no more worries and could quietly wait for the mission time to arrive before returning to the Main God Space.

A few more days passed, and Yi Shuihan lived a quiet, secluded life in his New York villa. He spent his days studying gemstones and flirting with Mandy, living a carefree life.

He struggled for a while about how to deal with Mandy. In fact, he had only intended to play around at first, but now that he had developed feelings for her, he couldn't let go of her.

Therefore, Yi Shuihan frankly told Mandy that he was about to return. Because of his cultivation, Mandy thought that Yi Shuihan belonged to the immortal realm. She had some expectation that Yi Shuihan would leave, but when Yi Shuihan brought it up, she still cried her eyes out. In the end, Mandy said that she would wait for Yi Shuihan to come back to her.

Yi Shuihan himself didn't know how long Mandy's feelings for him would last. This was his decision: to have the real Mandy come to pick her up. However, he would have to test her loyalty for at least 10 years. If she failed the test, she would have to stay in the Marvel world. Yi Shuihan had already given her enough.

......

"Since you're so sensible, I'll take you on as my follower."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Uchiha was overjoyed. He had almost given up hope after so many days of no movement from Yi Shuihan, but thankfully he finally got a good result.

Why did Uchiha Kagami choose to be a follower instead of a proper reincarnator? He was somewhat reluctant, but compared to losing his life, being a follower was acceptable.

It's not so simple for one reincarnator to become the follower of another; it requires a special follower contract. Yi Shuihan didn't have one, but Uchiha Ka did.

To be honest, when Yi Shuihan saw this follower contract, he felt very strange. Uchiha Kaga first had a god contract, and now he has a follower contract. In some ways, he is even more secretive than the captain of the Blood Kill Squad. He is practically being treated like a protagonist.

The following days were uneventful. People from S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Tony, came to see Yi Shuihan. The former came to ask about the Blood Kill Team, while the latter simply came to express his gratitude. When Yi Shuihan saw Tony, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still somewhat surprised. This Tony was actually a cultivation prodigy, which was a bit unscientific!

Yi Shuihan could sense that S.H.I.E.L.D. was wary of him. There was a team of more than a hundred agents around the villa watching him day and night. He even used some underhanded tactics to discover that the US high command had listed him as a dangerous element. If he made any dangerous move, a nuclear missile could be launched. Launching a nuclear missile from New York, which had become a ruin, was not an impossible thing.

Knowing all this, Yi Shuihan had no interest in showing off his ability to withstand a nuclear bomb with his bare body, and continued to live his life as usual until the last day of the three months arrived.

"The day of return has finally arrived. Although I know it's impossible to bring these two things back, I still want to give it a try!"

Yi Shuihan did not return the Space Stone and the Time Stone; they are still with him.

Following the prompt from the Main God Space, Yi Shuihan chose to return.

"So they didn't bring it back after all!"

It was still the same space for summarizing, but the Space Gem and Time Gem on Yi Shuihan's body were nowhere to be seen, and the Main God Space did not prompt him as it did last time whether he should pay a price to bring them out.

His mission rating was C, which was the lowest he could get upon entering the God's Space. However, receiving four Bloodstained Treasure Chests was a unique reward, so he wasn't too disappointed. After all, he had already prepared himself for no reward at all, and what he got in the mission world was already worth the price.

Chapter 1215, A Competition for Fair Trade

"What business does the shop owner have with me?"

Binglan asked directly. Unlike the previous times he had seen him, Binglan's eyes were bloodshot and his hair was disheveled. He looked as if he hadn't rested for days and nights. If it weren't for the fact that his wizard robe was not an ordinary item, his clothes would probably be very tattered.

When Yi Shuihan arrived, Binglan was still in the laboratory, researching a system. He was almost obsessed with it. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, he probably wouldn't have come out.

In her quest to uncover the system's secrets, Binglan employed every possible method, to the point that she neglected even her own appearance.

"Looks like I've bothered you!"

Yi Shuihan was just making a polite remark, but Binglan gave him a knowing look, which made him feel a little awkward.

"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush and will get straight to the point. I'm here on behalf of the Anti-Invasion Alliance. We hope that you will exchange what you gain in the Primordial World for something of equal value, instead of just taking it away like bandits."

"We are not robbers."

Binglan retorted first, then fell into deep thought. He had to admit that what Yi Shuihan said was true. Their purpose in coming to the prehistoric world was to invade it. As invaders, they were obviously evil. However, from his level, whether they were evil or not was not important at all.

The important thing is strength and weakness. If I am strong, then what I do is reasonable. If you are weak, then you deserve to be bullied.

It is certain that the Primordial World is weaker than the Wizarding World, but that does not mean that the Primordial World is powerless to resist. There are not many strong people from the Wizarding World here yet. If a real battle breaks out, the Primordial World will certainly suffer losses, and the Wizarding World will not be unscathed either.

It's not right to agree to make sacrifices just because of that.

"Could we have some time to discuss this matter?"

When Binglan said this, part of her intention was indeed to discuss the matter, but more importantly, she wanted to stall for time. The longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for the wizarding world.

"I know you won't compromise easily. My suggestion is that all three parties send people to compete. If you win, we'll call it a day. If we win, then we must have a fair trade, and you must also open up your world so that this side can also go there."

"Three parties? Does that also include the Qian Yuan Empire?"

"That's right. And according to the competition rankings, if our Anti-Invasion Alliance gets first place, then both of your worlds will have to make fair trade with us and open your worlds. If we get second place, then the third place world will have the same conditions. We don't care about the first place world. If we get last place, then everything will remain the same as before, and we won't bring this up again."

"What if you disagree?"

"I will help the Anti-Invasion Alliance drive you out of the prehistoric world."

This competition is for his own mission, so Yi Shuihan naturally has to do his best to make it happen and cannot allow failure. That's why he said that, and he will definitely keep his word. If the competition is different, then a simple and brutal war will do. Yi Shuihan has the strength to do that.

"I don't know why you would help Honghuang so much, but I will do my best to make this happen, just to give you face. However, the competition must be fair and just."

"It will naturally be fair and just. If there is any unfairness, any of you can withdraw. Of course, you can't withdraw by deliberately finding fault."

After leaving Binglan, Yi Shuihan went to Xiu Si and used the same words to win him over.

Half a month later, the forces of the Three Realms gathered at Buzhou Mountain, a great mountain formed from the spine of Pangu, which also served as the support for the entire prehistoric world.

"The competition is divided into three rounds. In the first round, each of our three sides will send ten people to enter Buzhou Mountain. They must be at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. In other words, the mecha pilots must be at the level of a World King, and the wizards must be at the level of a Sun. These people will enter three areas that we have selected. There are special marker items in the areas. Within a specified day, the world that takes out the most marker items will win. The first place will get 3 points, the second place will get 1 point, and the third place will get 0 points."

Yi Shuihan announced the rules of the first round of the competition, and none of the three parties objected, because everything had been discussed beforehand. Moreover, the markers were divided into three parts by Yi Shuihan, and the three parties personally placed them in three areas.

The three areas are far apart, and it takes contestants at least a day to expand into one area. Therefore, they can only search within their own areas, and there is no such thing as the area where they will place the marker item; they will all overlap.

This match is all about luck; nothing else matters.

The other two realms initially raised concerns because the competition area was the Primordial World, and the Heavenly Dao might intervene. In that case, with the Heavenly Dao's blessing, the Primordial World's winning rate would be too high, making the competition unfair.

In the end, Yi Shuihan resolved the matter by purchasing a luck regulator from the company. This regulator was only effective for those at or below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and could equalize the luck values ​​of these individuals within a day. After multiple tests, the other two parties finally believed in its authenticity.

On the surface, it seems like it was all just luck, but Yi Shuihan came for victory. Would he really be so kind?

The answer is obviously no; he must have had ways to cheat.

The cheating method is very simple: forceful intervention. Interfering with the competition right under Binglan and Xiusi's noses is something only Yi Shuihan's true form can do. Even if the Heavenly Dao were to do it, it would leave a trace, but Yi Shuihan's true form would not. With the strength of his true form and the company's black technology, the possibility of being discovered is almost zero.

The contestants from the three realms entered the designated area one after another, and then everyone began to wait outside. A day is not a long time; it passed quickly by meditating.

"As expected, it wasn't just me; they weren't well-behaved either!"

While his clone was outside, his main body had already concealed itself and entered the designated area. If it weren't for the mission, Yi Shuihan would not have been willing to stop the condensation of the Chaos Body.

Yi Shuihan witnessed the wizard take out a wizard ball and begin chanting something. A moment later, an arrow appeared on the crystal ball, pointing in the direction of the marked item.

The Qian Yuan Empire was not to be outdone; one of its mech pilots split into countless smaller mechs and quickly conducted a large-scale scan.

The Three Realms Clash

Chapter 1183, Technological Empire and Wizarding World

Rewinding to the primordial world, when the clone entered the Silver Realm, Yi Shuihan's true self finally managed to contact the clone, understand the clone's situation, and the connection between the two was further strengthened, allowing the true self to record the coordinates of the worlds the clone had visited.

"Interesting. The flow of time in the primordial world is similar to that of the mission world, yet different from that of the Main God Space. Moreover, once the clone enters the Main God Space, the connection is suppressed to the minimum. This feeling..."

If it weren't for Yi Shuihan's true form being comparable to a saint, anyone else, even a Great Luo Immortal, would have been mentally confused due to this time difference, and an ordinary person would probably have suffered a complete mental breakdown.

“Normally, it should take several decades, or even hundreds of years, for my clone to obtain the origin of a higher world. What should I do during this time? Go into seclusion? That would be a quick blink and I would get the result.”

In the end, Yi Shuihan did not choose to continue his seclusion. Although his seclusion this time had only lasted a few years, which was completely different from the standard seclusion time for a Quasi-Saint, he still stopped. It was not because he could not make progress in seclusion, nor because he had things to do, but simply because he did not want to go into seclusion.

If the rest of the prehistoric world knew his thoughts, they would probably criticize him to death. He could easily break through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint by simply continuing his seclusion for a while. How many people want to break through but have no hope at all!

"My last trip for a drive was canceled because of the God Space incident. This time, I'll go out and play for a few decades first."

With his mind changing so quickly, Yi Shuihan wondered if he had gone astray. Changing his mind so frequently was not something someone of his level could do.

"What's fun about the prehistoric world now? Besides the scenery, there's really nothing fun. The human race is still in the tribal stage and doesn't even have the concept of a nation. The demon race spends all day guarding their treasures and fighting each other. The witch race is so simple that they probably don't understand what fun is. They might even think that playing is just two people fighting."

Standing on the back of the Kunpeng, Yi Shuihan was somewhat bewildered, but since they had already come out, it was impossible for him to immediately go back into seclusion.

Flying aimlessly westward, Kunpeng had no idea where Yi Shuihan was going, so he could only keep flying. Fortunately, even flying for thousands of years was easy for him, so he didn't complain. Besides, he wouldn't dare to complain to Yi Shuihan anyway!

Rewind several thousand years, to the outer edge of the primordial world, an earth-shattering battle was taking place. On one side were countless fleets and mechs, clearly a technological civilization, while on the other side were a diverse array of beings, including mechanical, magical, and even those with supernatural powers.
