"I called you here today to talk about this. For certain reasons, I cannot guarantee that I can remove the mark from your body. If you cooperate fully, I am confident that I can succeed. Of course, if I fail, we will face the pursuit of the Poison Heart Emperor."

Yi Shuihan did not disclose specific data, but if the risk of being discovered by the Poison Heart Emperor is not considered, the mark on the Ghost Mother Queen can be removed with 100% certainty.

The Ghost Mother Queen's face first lit up with joy, then turned worried. After a moment, she said, "Then let's not remove it."

"Why? Are you afraid of failure?"

“Yes, I’m afraid of failure. If I fail, the Poison Heart Emperor will not let you off the hook. You are his junior brother, and I don’t want to implicate you because of me. I will leave him and never see him again.”

This answer was beyond Yi Shuihan's expectations. The Ghost Mother Queen had given up treatment because she didn't want to implicate him. What she gave up was her freedom and her love.

The only reason that could make the Ghost Mother Queen make such a decision is undoubtedly her love for Ye Dongsheng. This love is too heavy and too deep, so much so that she made the decision not to accept treatment simply because she was afraid of implicating Yi Shuihan.

After realizing what had happened, Yi Shuihan's already made decision became even more resolute. This Ghost Mother Queen was worth the risk for Yi Shuihan, and she was also worthy of becoming Yi Shuihan's sister-in-law. At this moment, Yi Shuihan was no longer just planning to save the Ghost Mother Queen because of Ye Dongsheng.

"Don't worry, I'm 60% confident that I won't be discovered by the Poison Heart Emperor after the brand is removed. And even if I am discovered, he can't do anything to me. Don't forget, my master is also a Great Dao Emperor, even stronger than the Poison Heart Emperor. At worst, I'll just stay by my master's side until I break through to the Great Dao Emperor level."

"A 60% chance? That's still too low. Let's talk about it when you're more confident."

The Ghost Mother's tone was somewhat perfunctory. Although her words were very organized, they still made Yi Shuihan feel strange. His intuition told him that if he agreed to the Ghost Mother's request, something he didn't want to see might happen.

"It seems that Senior Brother will have to take action himself."

Thinking this, Yi Shuihan suddenly grabbed the Ghost Mother's hand and then activated the teleportation.

Now that he has achieved the Dao Creation stage, forcibly teleporting someone at the Enlightenment stage is a piece of cake, and he doesn't need to care about the Ghost Mother Queen's will at all.

The Ghost Mother Queen was completely taken aback by Yi Shuihan's sudden action. By the time she realized what was happening, she found herself in another place, with another man in front of her besides Yi Shuihan.

This man was naturally too easy. He was still cultivating when Yi Shuihan suddenly teleported over, startling him out of his cultivation state and almost causing him to lose his breath.

"My Lord, could you please give me a heads-up before teleporting next time? Don't you know how terrifying it can be?!"

Taiyi complained to Yi Shuihan.

Where is my senior brother?

Yi Shuihan ignored Tai Yi's complaints.

"I do not know."

"Oh!"

Taiyi genuinely meant he didn't know, since Ye Dongsheng wasn't always in one place, and Taiyi hadn't been paying close attention to him.

Yi Shuihan did not press further, but instead quickly cast a spell, which transformed into a golden light and shot out.

That was the communication method within the Creation World. Yi Shuihan was notifying Ye Dongsheng to come over. As long as Ye Dongsheng did not leave the Creation World, he would definitely be able to receive this communication.

"What the hell is this place?"

Based on the previous conversation between Yi Shuihan and Taiyi, the Ghost Mother had basically guessed their relationship. Now, she was more curious about where she had been taken.

"Junior brother, you called me..."

Ye Dongsheng was very fast. He arrived in front of Yi Shuihan just two seconds after Yi Shuihan sent the communication. However, he also saw the Ghost Mother at the same time, and immediately stopped talking.

Chapter 1426, Stepping onto the Path of God

An indescribable atmosphere filled the space between Ye Dongsheng and the Ghost Mother. They stared at each other, their gazes deep and affectionate.

"Alright, stop looking at me. If you want to look, wait until I'm not around. I won't care if you stare at each other until the end of time."

Yi Shuihan certainly wouldn't be subjected to public displays of affection; he'd long since left the single life behind. However, he also didn't like being a third wheel.

"Cough cough."

Ye Dongsheng blushed and shifted his gaze from the Ghost Mother Queen to Yi Shuihan.

"Junior brother? What's wrong with you...?"

She looked at Yi Shuihan with a hint of reproach, after all, it was risky for Yi Shuihan to bring the Ghost Mother to this world of creation.

"Here's the thing, what you felt back then, I actually had it too, except..."

In a calm tone, Ye Dongsheng recounted the whole story. During Yi Shuihan's speech, Ye Dongsheng did not interrupt her, but his expression changed repeatedly. Initially, he was surprised, then he was angry upon hearing the culprit's name, then he was overjoyed to learn that Yi Shuihan had removed the mark, and then he was conflicted about the possibility that removing the mark from the Ghost Mother Empress might provoke the Poison Heart Emperor.

"Senior brother, as her man, it's up to you whether or not to remove the brand immediately."

Yi Shuihan ultimately gave the choice to Ye Dongsheng, and when Ye Dongsheng heard Yi Shuihan say that he was the Ghost Mother Queen's man, he did not object. Seeing this, the Ghost Mother Queen's face showed a shy expression.

"Junior brother, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask away!"

"Aren't you afraid of being targeted by the Poison Heart Emperor?"

"Don't worry, even if he targets me, he can't do anything to me. I'm confident I can escape, and besides, I still have my master here!"

After a long silence, Ye Dongsheng finally made a decision. He bowed to Yi Shuihan and asked Yi Shuihan to help the Ghost Mother remove the brand.

"How about we wait until Junior Brother Yi's strength increases and we have a better chance of success?"

"No, this time you have to listen to me. There's no room for discussion. The branding issue can't be delayed."

"Ah."

Alright! Under Ye Dongsheng's domineering gentleness, the Ghost Mother Queen has completely fallen for him. So, it's best to leave professional matters to professionals. For the Ghost Mother Queen, Ye Dongsheng is the professional.

With Ye Dongsheng's decisive action, the matter of helping the Ghost Mother Queen remove the brand was settled, and it would soon begin.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

To remove the brand, it is necessary to examine the Ghost Mother Queen's body. This would mean that the Ghost Mother Queen would be completely exposed to Yi Shuihan's eyes. Since men and women are different, Yi Shuihan would never have taken on this task if it weren't for the fact that only Yi Shuihan could resolve the brand issue.

"Come on, I'm the patient now, and you're the doctor."

The Ghost Mother Queen appeared exceptionally magnanimous and composed.

Seeing that even the Ghost Mother Queen herself didn't mind, Yi Shuihan also abandoned his distracting thoughts and began searching for the mark within the Ghost Mother Queen's body.

Having had the experience of removing it once, Yi Shuihan quickly found the mark existing in the Ghost Mother Queen's body.

Compared to the original mark on Yi Shuihan's body, this mark is much more solidified. If Yi Shuihan's original mark was one, this mark is at least ten, making it dozens of times more difficult to remove completely.

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan has now broken through to the Creation Dao realm, and the mark inside the Ghost Mother Queen's body has not been there for long. Otherwise, she would have been completely helpless against this mark in the Enlightenment Dao realm.

Having found the mark, the next step was to remove it. In order not to alarm the Poison Heart Emperor, Yi Shuihan was extremely cautious, preferring to proceed slowly rather than be impatient for quick results.

Because Yi Shuihan's mark had its growth path blocked from the very beginning, it would only become weaker as it was removed. The Ghost Mother Queen, on the other hand, would actively absorb energy to grow when threatened. Therefore, Yi Shuihan had to ensure that the rate of weakening was greater than the rate of growth, so that the commotion would naturally be greater.

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan's control had improved considerably, and ultimately no mistakes were made; everything remained under control.

Three months later, the tightly closed door suddenly burst open, and Yi Shuihan walked out looking exhausted.

"Junior brother, how is it? Has the brand been removed?"

For the past three months, Ye Dongsheng had been guarding outside, his eyes never leaving the gate. He was so anxious and longing that he became quite haggard. One can only imagine how much torment he was going through, especially for someone at the Creation Realm.

"We succeeded in our mission. She's very tired and needs to rest. Senior brother, you can go in and keep her company, but please be careful not to overdo it!"

"You kid."

The previous words put Ye Dongsheng at ease, and he was extremely grateful to Yi Shuihan. However, the final twist left Ye Dongsheng somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Go on in! I won't disturb you any longer."

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan vanished in a flash.

"It was really dangerous. We almost messed it up. I'm 60% sure. The system's calculations were indeed accurate."

When the brand had been 80% removed, Yi Shuihan had even lowered his guard, thinking that there would be no more changes. Who knew that the brand would suddenly erupt and even threaten the life of the Ghost Mother Queen, who wanted to perish together with her. If the system had not been the main force in removing the brand and had taken countermeasures in time, Yi Shuihan would have messed it up on his own.

For the past three months, Yi Shuihan has been highly focused, fighting on the front lines against the brand. Although he has suffered a lot, he has also gained something else. Now, Yi Shuihan can say that he has a deeper understanding of the brand. The next time he removes the same brand, he can do so ten times faster. And if anyone tries to attack him with an attack of the same nature as the brand, they will be in for a very pleasant surprise.

After resting for a few days, Yi Shuihan began to make further plans. Now that he had achieved the creation of the Dao, the next step was to officially begin the path of spreading the Dao.

The path of spreading the Dao is also called the Emperor's Path, because once it is completed, it means becoming the Emperor of the Great Dao.

Yi Shuihan shared her thoughts with Ye Dongsheng, who was somewhat reluctant to leave. Ye Dongsheng then handed Yi Shuihan a jade tube containing some knowledge and advice about the Imperial Path.

Chapter 1427, The Three Great Five-Dimensional Kalpa Worlds

"Ten essential methods for spreading the Dao that one must understand on the path of creation: 1. The Grandfather Method: Choose a once-genius but now useless being, give him a grandfather figure, and guide him in cultivating a new Dao; 2. The World Fusion Method: Select several worlds and merge them, giving the weakest world the new Dao; 3. The Panic Method: Spread evil, then bestow the power of the new Dao, for only the new Dao can end evil; 4..."

For a creator of a Dao, his power is enough to overwhelm a world. It is not difficult to force a world to cultivate the Dao he created. The difficulty lies in making his Dao able to resist other Daos.

No matter how strong one's Dao is, one cannot constantly monitor every world. If one's own Dao system is not strong, one will eventually be eliminated.

Therefore, for each world to spread the Dao, the creator must design a powerful cultivation system based on the laws of that world. The foundation of this system is naturally the Dao he created. Only when this new system can compete with other Daos can the spread of the Dao be considered successful.

The more powerful a world is, the more difficult it is for the creator to spread their teachings, because that world itself has a very strong cultivation system, and it doesn't necessarily have to cultivate a new path like yours that hasn't fully become the Great Dao yet.

Furthermore, the worlds among the myriad realms are also a problem. For those who create the Dao, the rewards of spreading the Dao into powerful worlds are far greater than those in lower-level worlds. Successfully spreading the Dao in a golden world is comparable to spreading it in countless iron worlds.

There are countless weak worlds in the myriad realms, but only a handful of powerful golden worlds, not enough to support all those who have created their own path.

It's possible for two worlds to spread their teachings in the same world, but in reality, it's simply not feasible. If teachings are spread simultaneously, the world will basically only accept the stronger one. Even if the two paths are not much different, developing them together will ultimately greatly affect the speed of spreading teachings, since simultaneous efforts would require competition.

The God Realm has conquered so many worlds, not only to cultivate powerful individuals but also to discover and occupy strong worlds, providing them with worlds for the founders to spread their teachings.

For a Daoist to reach the level of becoming a Great Dao Emperor, they need to spread their Dao to at least a hundred worlds like the Primordial World, and make their Dao the mainstream in those worlds.

Making oneself a mainstream path is not easy. After all, the path of creation is not perfect. It is obviously more beneficial for those worlds to choose those perfect paths to cultivate. Why choose your path with an uncertain future?

If you want the world to fully accept your way, then you have to rely on the ability of the creator of the way. The simplest way is naturally ink painting skills. Stay in that world and intervene, gradually changing it. In the end, that world will have no choice but to accept your way. This may seem simple, but it takes a lot of time, often hundreds of billions or trillions of years.

Only those who have created a weaker Dao themselves will choose to spread the Dao through ink painting techniques.

The Dao Creation Realm is divided into three levels based on the strength of the Dao created. The lowest level, which is also the most common, is where the Dao created is weaker than the ordinary Great Dao. Only after the Dao is fully established can it be compared to the ordinary Great Dao. This type of Dao Creation has the least potential for development, and if it wants to grow, it is mostly done by using ink painting techniques to create the Dao, relying on time to win.

The second level of Dao Creation refers to those geniuses who create Daos that are comparable to ordinary Daos. After achieving mastery, their Daos rank among the top in the Great Daos, specifically the top one hundred. At this level of Dao Creation, one can create Daos without using ink-wash techniques and can directly transmit the Dao. With just a little guidance, success is easily achieved.

As for the highest level, the first grade, this kind of Dao is even more powerful. It has the strength of an upper-level ordinary Dao even at the initial stage. Once it is achieved, it can be located in the top-level Dao and rank in the top ten among the Daos.

The first-class Dao Creator doesn't need to worry about whether the world accepts him or not; he only needs to continuously spread his teachings. As long as he spreads his teachings to enough worlds, he can easily reach the peak of Dao Creation and have the opportunity to transform into a Great Dao Emperor.

Yi Shuihan believed that his Dao was at least second-class, and there was a high possibility that it was first-class. Therefore, he would not take the slow and painstaking approach of spreading his Dao. He would be crazy to spread his Dao for more than 10 billion years. In fact, he had only lived for more than 100 million years.

Generally speaking, most of the Dao Creation achievements of independent cultivators are third-grade, while the second-grade is the mainstream among those who belong to major forces. As for the first-grade, it is extremely rare even among major forces. For a major force like a company, having one first-grade Dao Creation is enough to maintain its prestige.

……

"Based on the information given by my senior brother and the data obtained from the company, I have selected three worlds that are currently most suitable for me. All of them are advanced worlds that have experienced five immeasurable calamities, and each world is comparable to more than ten of the current primordial worlds."

"The Ancient Morning Great World, the Howling Great World, and the Miracle Great World. The Ancient Morning Great World is a classic Eastern fantasy template, where the sword is revered and other great paths are only used to enhance the power of the sword. The Howling Great World is a Western fantasy world, similar to the Abyss, where the path of pain is the mainstream. The Miracle Great World is a Western fantasy world where the path of faith is the mainstream."

All three worlds are extremely suitable for Yi Shuihan to spread his teachings now. If all three are successful, it would be equivalent to Yi Shuihan completing one-tenth of his journey on the path of establishing his own Dao.

This is still a great world that has experienced five immeasurable calamities. If Yi Shuihan could discover a world that has experienced nine immeasurable calamities, as long as he successfully spreads his teachings, he could immediately become a Great Dao Emperor.

Of course, Yi Shuihan shouldn't even think about the Great World of Nine Immeasurable Kalpas. Not only does it not exist, but even if it did, it would definitely be in the hands of the Great Dao Emperor, and he couldn't interfere with it.

The three fifth-stage worlds that Yi Shuihan knows about are already quite astonishing. If he weren't the founder of the company, he wouldn't even know. Just searching for one of these fifth-stage worlds on his own would take tens or even hundreds of billions of years, and even if he found it, it might not belong to him.

Both the Ancient Morning World and the Howling World are marked with the company's seal. As long as Yi Shuihan goes there to spread the word, he won't encounter any other competitors. If he does, the company will help Yi Shuihan deal with them.

The benefits of two Five-Kalpa Great Worlds are something only a top-tier power like a company could offer as rewards for newly promoted Dao Creators.

Chapter 1428, The Great World of Struggle for Destiny

Originally, he was to choose from three Great Worlds of the Fifth Calamity. In fact, Yi Shuihan had already decided to start with the Great World of Wailing. His path was easier to accept than the mainstream path of suffering in the Great World of Wailing. In the myriad worlds, those who like suffering are ultimately a very small minority. If there were other easier ways to improve strength, no one would choose suffering.

However, before Yi Shuihan could set off, a message disrupted his plans, causing him to temporarily abandon his idea of ​​going to the Wailing World.

This news came from within the company: a new world that has undergone seven great kalpas has been discovered, and it is still unclaimed, belonging to the kind of world that evolves autonomously.

Logically speaking, even if a newly discovered world of seven kalpas is discovered, it should have little to do with him. After all, he is a newly established Daoist. The fact that the company is giving him a few worlds of five kalpas is already a sign that they value him highly. Worlds of seven kalpas are not prepared for a newly promoted Daoist like him. The veteran Daoists in the company are lining up to wait for such high-level worlds.

Now that the news has been told to Yi Shuihan, the situation is naturally different now, and he still has a chance to get involved.

The new world was named the Great World of Struggle for Destiny. It was not first discovered by the company, but by a Chaos Emperor who had reached the Enlightenment Realm. That Chaos Emperor also participated in the struggle for the Heart of the Universe, and ultimately entered the Great World of Struggle for Destiny by accident.

The Chaos Emperor was trapped in the Great World of Struggle for Destiny, where he was held captive by the natives and nearly killed. He used some secret method to transmit information about the existence of the Great World of Struggle for Destiny, which was intercepted by the company, along with other major forces.

After a series of high-level negotiations, an agreement was reached: each faction would send a representative to investigate the situation in the World of Struggle for Destiny, and after further struggle, the ownership of the world would be determined.

Yi Shuihan was chosen because the company made other deals with other forces. In exchange for the other forces offering certain benefits, the company could not send its veteran founders to take action.

Even if Yi Shuihan fails this time, the Great World of Struggle for Destiny is not completely out of reach for the company. The world of the Seven Great Tribulations is too important, even for a large power like the company, it is a strategic matter.

The division of ownership is temporary. Whichever faction's representative wins first place will be the first to spread their teachings in the Great World of Destiny. Every hundred billion years, the ownership will be re-divided, and the faction that wins first place in the next re-division will be allowed to create its own teachings for the next hundred billion years, and so on in a cycle.

Of course, the forces that spread the word first will have a certain advantage in the subsequent redistribution. They will have a home advantage in the next competition and will have the advantage of timing and location. As for the people, it is obvious that the other contenders will choose to unite and eliminate the previous victor first.

According to Yi Shuihan, if he wins first place this time, he can directly start his own path without being intercepted by other people.

The company wasn't that generous, mainly because most of the senior management had given up on this first missionary work. Sending Yi Shuihan was just a trial, and the reward was so generous to motivate him. After all, if Yi Shuihan won, it would give the company a significant advantage in the next competition.
