"I don't support installment payments here!"

"Installment payment? No need, I brought enough treasures to trade on the spot."

Binglan's words gave Yi Shuihan the urge to rob the other party immediately. This was a deal worth millions, and Yi Shuihan hadn't earned that much even after staying in the prehistoric world for so long.

"That's fine, but I don't have that many on hand right now. How about we do it in three transactions? I'll give you a 20% discount."

"Of course, no problem, but we need to do it as soon as possible."

I love such straightforward clients. Yi Shuihan now has a very good impression of Binglan, and he can't stop smiling.

Without delay, Yi Shuihan immediately made a deal with Binglan, gaining a million contribution points. If it hadn't been agreed beforehand that the deal would be made in three parts, he would have wanted to finish the transaction right away.

"How about the second transaction in three months? As for the final transaction, it will be six months from now, because the system for cultivating sages is quite precious, so it will take longer."

"Then I'll wait for the shop owner's good news."

"Sure, sure, come on, let's go have a meal together."

Since Binglan brought such great benefits, Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't be stingy with some delicious food, and they ate for a whole day and night.

After Binglan left, Yi Shuihan excitedly went to his personal world and had a long night of sleeping with his wives. They fought for several days before he came out. If it weren't for his dual cultivation technique, he probably would have been exhausted, since he was fighting against many enemies.

"Now I'm a millionaire. Once the transaction is completely completed, it will be enough to support my cultivation to the level of Chaos Emperor."

Looking at the shopping list in front of him, filled with all sorts of rare and precious treasures from all over the world, he felt an urge to buy everything.

"It's strange that Binglan didn't have a single evil thought from beginning to end! Why is he so honest? With such a huge benefit, he couldn't possibly not be tempted."

Putting yourself in Binglan's shoes, Yi Shuihan wouldn't be willing to just obediently go through with the transaction either. At the very least, he would want to determine whether Yi Shuihan's strength warranted equal treatment.

"Who cares! No matter what kind of conspiracy it is, it's all trash in the face of absolute power. It's time to consider completing the system's mission."

The prerequisite for the system task is the collision between the primordial world and the outside world, so it is impossible to complete the task under the current relatively stable situation. If Yi Shuihan does not want to wait, he can only guide the two sides to collide himself.

So Yi Shuihan went straight to the headquarters of the Anti-Invasion Alliance, a special space created by a group of powerful individuals.

This special space was actually built with the help of Yi Shuihan, but he was in seclusion at the time and was therefore absent.

Here, Yi Shuihan met the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones did not look well and had a sense of oppression, especially Yuanshi, who seemed like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, the Three Pure Ones managed to force a smile. This scene made Yi Shuihan feel a pang of sadness. The Three Pure Ones were once so spirited and dashing, but now even the inactive Laozi could no longer maintain his former demeanor.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, you have finally emerged from seclusion. The people of the technological world are truly going too far. Relying on their strength, they drove us all out of Kunlun."

Tongtian complained to Yi Shuihan, feeling extremely resentful about his situation.

"In my opinion, we should first unite to drive the people of the technological world back. Fellow Daoist Taiyi, now that you have emerged from seclusion, you should also contribute to this matter!"

Yuan Shi looked at Yi Shuihan with some anticipation. He had previously thought that Tu Ba was too strong and there was nothing he could do about the Anti-Invasion Alliance. Now that Yi Shuihan had the combat power of a Saint, he was confident in dealing with Tu Ba, which gave Yuan Shi hope.

"That's for sure. Kunlun, as the Daoist temple of the three of you, should rightfully belong to you. For outsiders to seize it is the act of robbers."

Yi Shuihan said affirmatively, which made the eyes of the Three Pure Ones light up, and their goodwill towards Yi Shuihan increased greatly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, upon learning that Yi Shuihan had arrived, many powerful figures stepped forward to greet him, and soon all seven members of the council were present.

A meeting was held under the chairmanship of Hongyun, with seven members of parliament in attendance and hundreds of powerful figures in the audience.

"The theme of this parliamentary meeting is to wage war against the technological world and whether to reclaim the Kunlun Mountains."

Hongyun spoke with the air of a host.

"I agree to war. The people of the technological world are too arrogant. Today they occupied Kunlun. If we don't react, will they be able to occupy the entire prehistoric world in the future?"

"I also agree that war should not be waged, as we cannot embolden the technological world."

"We must go to war! We must show them that our primordial world is not to be trifled with!"

Almost all powerful figures advocated for war, even those who had conflicts with the Three Pure Ones. They were not stupid; they understood the principle of mutual dependence.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones were very pleased, and Yuanshi nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, all the members of parliament have heard your opinions. Now, please speak up and express your views."

The scene quieted down, and all eyes were focused on Yi Shuihan and his group of seven, with the most attention directed at Yi Shuihan, which may be related to his non-primordial identity.

If Yi Shuihan were to say no at this moment, he would probably be expelled from the prehistoric world and considered a traitor or something.

"Kunlun belongs to the Three Pure Ones, but it also belongs to the primordial wilderness."

Lao Tzu simply said this, thus expressing his attitude.

"I support going to war."

Dijiang said firmly.

"Our home needs protection."

Zhen Yuanzi was very determined.

"agree."

Houtu was sparing with her words, and then Nuwa and Dijun also expressed their support, leaving only Yi Shuihan silent.

Chapter 1206, The Overlord's Reinforcements

The gazes of two great saints, dozens of quasi-saints, and hundreds of top-tier Daluo Golden Immortals are something most people could never withstand. However, for Yi Shuihan, it was merely a gentle breeze and nothing to worry about. His current level had already reached the point where he could converse with the entire prehistoric world.

“Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind. If the mind is not at peace and the will is not calm, then it is like obstructing the Tao. Those who obstruct the Tao can only be killed. The technological world can come to the primordial world, but it cannot occupy any inch of our land. Therefore, I agree to use force to destroy all traces of the technological world in Kunlun.”

Yi Shuihan spoke calmly, yet his words resonated with everyone. Many powerful figures who had doubts about Yi Shuihan set aside their prejudices and smiled.

"War on the technological world, passed unanimously, effective immediately."

As Hongyun announced this, a surge of momentum rose into the sky, and the fighting spirit soared, startling the entire prehistoric world.

As if in response, the Heavenly Merit Ranking also released a new mission: killing people from the technological world during the battle against Kunlun will earn double the usual merit points.

The anti-invasion alliance acted swiftly, assembling a large army and advancing towards Kunlun just one day later.

Such a large-scale invasion naturally attracted the attention of people from the technological world and the wizarding world. However, this was exactly what the Anti-Invasion Alliance wanted to see. The Anti-Invasion Alliance's goal this time was to defeat the technological world honorably and give them a deterrent. If they launched a sneak attack, it would certainly be much easier, but they would be looked down upon by the technological world, who would think that the Primordial World was nothing special.

It was a week later when the anti-invasion alliance army arrived at Kunlun. It wasn't that they couldn't have arrived much faster; if they were just quasi-saints or great Luo golden immortals, they could have arrived in a day. However, this time, the anti-invasion alliance also included some golden immortals and even celestial immortals, so they traveled so slowly to accommodate their speed.

This week is also for the people of the Tech World to prepare. If they abandon Kunlun and leave directly, that would be enough time. However, such a possibility is not high, because doing so would mean that the Tech World is afraid of the Primordial World. Whether they can win or not is one thing, and whether they can fight or not is another. Moreover, the Tech World has a powerful backer. They might be able to call in reinforcements within a week, and then they might have the strength to fight.

Indeed, Tu Ba received the news on the very first day the Anti-Invasion Alliance set off. He never took the Anti-Invasion Alliance seriously. In his view, the Anti-Invasion Alliance was just a way for these weak prehistoric natives to band together for warmth. It was fine to bully some weak people, but they certainly wouldn't dare to take the initiative against the strong.

Without Yi Shuihan, Tu Ba might have been in a very relaxed mood, perhaps even waiting for the Anti-Invasion Alliance to give them a big gift, thus making a name for the Qian Yuan Empire.

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan was among the anti-alliance forces. Just thinking about Yi Shuihan filled Tu Ba with a strange fear, and he even felt weak at the mere mention of Yi Shuihan's name.

"We must ask for help."

Tu Ba actually considered abandoning Kunlun directly, but if the people of the Empire found out about it, he would probably lose face. Face was not as important as life to him, but it was still second. He chose to ask for help. If there were no reinforcements, he would surrender when Yi Shuihan arrived.

The request for help was indeed effective. The Empire learned of Tu Ba's predicament and sent a Yu Di, whose strength was no weaker than Tu Ba's. In addition, there were a hundred Zhou Huang and a thousand Jie Wang-level mecha pilots. This team, not counting Yi Shui Han, completely crushed the Anti-Alliance Army.

The reinforcements arrived in Kunlun two days earlier than the invading alliance forces, thus increasing Kunlun's overall strength several times over—something the anti-invading alliance forces were unaware of.

"Tu Ba, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly. With your strength, you could easily hold off these natives. Even if there are some casualties, victory is not impossible. Yet you actually asked for reinforcements!"

Before Tu Ba stood the new Yu Emperor of the Qian Yuan Empire, named Murphy. She was a rare female Yu Emperor, a rarity in the entire Qian Yuan Empire, as only 5 out of the 33 Yu Emperors were women, accounting for less than one-sixth.

Tu Ba remained silent in the face of Murphy's taunts. He was somewhat wary of Murphy, not of her strength, but of the person behind her. Murphy's husband was also a Yu Emperor, and the fourth-ranked Yu Emperor in the Qian Yuan Empire, whose strength far surpassed his own.

Tu Ba's strength only ranks 24th among the Yu Emperors, which is considered below average. He doesn't dare to provoke the Yu Emperor who ranks 4th. The combat power of the Yu Emperors ranked in the top 5 is on a completely different level from that of those ranked after the top 5. The Yu Emperors ranked in the top 5 can easily defeat those ranked after the top 5, and can even kill those ranked after the top 5 by paying a certain price.

The Qian Yuan Empire once had more than 40 Yu Emperors, but now there are only 33. That's because the other Yu Emperors were killed, and the ones who did it were the top 5 Yu Emperors.

Tu Ba didn't refute her, which made Murphy feel a little bored. She knew Tu Ba's personality; even if she was wary of her husband, she shouldn't be this afraid. In the past, she would have dared to argue with her. Why was she so cowardly today?

After making a few more sarcastic remarks and realizing that Tu Ba had no intention of arguing, Murphy stopped and fell into deep thought. She wasn't stupid; she guessed there might be some reason behind this and began to pay a little more attention to the Anti-Invasion Alliance.

When the Anti-Invasion Alliance arrived at Kunlun Mountain, they saw the mech forces led by Tu Ba and Murphy. They were fewer in number than the Anti-Invasion Alliance, but their momentum was stronger because their quality was higher, especially since there were almost twice as many Cosmic Emperors comparable to Quasi-Saints.

"Two Yu Emperors?"

When the Anti-Invasion Alliance members discovered Tu Ba and Murphy, their hearts sank. They were still confident with just Tu Ba, but with the addition of Yu Di, they felt a bit uneasy. Moreover, the presence of a hundred Zhou Huangs also put them under pressure.

Even the Three Pure Ones, who most wanted to kill Tu Ba and drive the people of the technological world out of Kunlun, were somewhat flustered at this moment. They subconsciously looked at Yi Shuihan, and only calmed down when they saw that Yi Shuihan's expression remained unchanged.

Chapter 1207, Do Not Be Disrespectful to the Shop Owner

On the side of the Tech Army, Tu Ba spoke up, "What do you want here? Do you want to start a war?"

Because his body was inside the mecha, the anti-invasion alliance was unaware that Tu Ba's eyes were actually fixed on Yi Shuihan's direction while he was speaking, paying attention to every facial expression on Yi Shuihan's face.

"Kunlun Mountain is the sacred ground of the Three Pure Ones of the Primordial World. You have arrogantly and unreasonably occupied this place. Today, you either leave obediently or fight us."

Hongyun has now become almost like a diplomat, standing at the forefront of the anti-invasion alliance with a solemn expression.

“I didn’t take it by force. I had an agreement with the Three Pure Ones that it was just a temporary loan.”

Tu Ba sneered and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the members of the anti-invasion alliance all looked at Sanqing. They saw that Sanqing had an ugly expression but did not refute it. They immediately understood what was going on. In fact, everyone knew that saying it was a loan was actually a forced occupation. However, Tu Ba's words made Sanqing lose face.

“The loan period wasn’t specified at the time, and now we’re not borrowing it anymore.”

Finally, Tongtian stepped forward and roared angrily.

"You're the ones who said you'd lend it, and you're the ones who said you wouldn't. What am I supposed to do? I've already built the base here. How about this: you wait for me for a hundred years, and I'll move the things from the base away first."

This statement lacks sincerity. In a hundred years, the technological world's vast army will likely arrive, and by then, the ownership of Kunlun Mountain will be a minor matter.

"Enough with the nonsense. In the end, the strong rule this world. Fight it out and the winner takes all."

Seeing that Hongyun seemed to want to argue with Tu Ba, Yi Shuihan spoke up decisively, saying that there was no point in continuing the argument and that things would be difficult to end without a fight.

"Fine, if reasoning won't work, then let's fight!"

Houtu was the first to support Yi Shuihan.

"Our witch clan has never been afraid of battle."

Facing a formidable foe, Dijiang was filled with fighting spirit.

Emperor Dijun is a cunning and scheming ruler. At this moment, he probably has other ideas in his mind, but he still shows an attitude of wanting to fight.

As for the Three Pure Ones, needless to say, this war is mainly for their sake. If they back down now, the entire prehistoric world will look down on them.

With a command given, all the great immortals of the primordial world launched an attack on the technological world. On the ground, the witch clan and the demon clan were the main forces, while in the air, the powerful beings were the main force.

Having experienced little warfare, they appeared somewhat disorganized, simply charging forward in a chaotic mass. In contrast, the technology army's forces were much more organized.

The same standard-issue mechs simultaneously launched missiles for a bombardment. Once the enemy got close, mechs specifically designed for close combat would step in to hold them off, while those with longer range would continue to look for opportunities to launch surprise attacks.

The battle entered a fierce stage right from the start, with constant roars, explosions, and shouts. The clashes of spells, magical powers, magical treasures, and technological mechs were quite spectacular, and Yi Shuihan was certainly impressed and quite interested.

Tu Ba and Murphy didn't move. Tu Ba didn't move because of Yi Shuihan, and he didn't dare to move. Murphy didn't move because Hou Tu and Nuwa didn't move. In her opinion, only opponents of the same level were worthy of her taking action, and the mecha legion was not at a disadvantage at the moment.

Despite having significantly more mechs at the Quasi-Saint level, the mech legion still failed to gain the upper hand, which was somewhat unexpected for Yi Shuihan.

Upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense. The reason why Tu Ba and his group could have strength surpassing Nuwa and Houtu was entirely because their strength at the Saint level was greater than Nuwa and Houtu's. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them mid-stage Saints, while Nuwa and Houtu were only at the early stage. Under such circumstances, it's normal for Tu Ba and his group to be able to fight two against one even with their strength weakened.

At the level below the Saint, the Primordial World has a certain advantage. They are not quite enough to fight two against one, but they are stronger than the Mech Pilots in a one-on-one situation, which is why the current situation is almost even.

“This cannot go on. The lives of people in our primordial world are far more precious than those of people outside. We cannot allow them to be sacrificed. Fellow Daoist Taiyi, please take action. The two sages should restrain the two Yu Emperors on the other side.”

"How about we switch? I'll hold those two Yu Emperors back, and Nuwa, you two can take care of the others."

"The opponents are two Yu Emperors, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, are you up to the task?"

"You can see it."

With a smile, Yi Shuihan flew towards Tu Ba and Murphy.

"Although this is somewhat like bullying the weak, we have no choice but to use extraordinary measures in a very short time to deal with these invaders. Sister Houtu, let's join forces!"

Nuwa threw out her red embroidered ball, which transformed into a beam of red light and weaved through the mecha forces. The World King-level mechas were destroyed almost instantly upon contact, and the Universe Emperor-level mechas were also destroyed in a few moments. In an instant, the morale of the anti-invasion alliance army soared.

Murphy wanted to ask for help, but Yi Shuihan appeared in front of her. She had to get past Yi Shuihan first if she wanted to go to the rescue.

“Tu Ba, you go deal with those two saints. After I take care of this guy, I’ll make them taste the bitterness of bullying the weak. They broke the rules first.”

Murphy shouted at Butcher.

Tu Ba kept his distance from Yi Shuihan, and with this legitimate reason to leave, he was more than willing.

Yi Shuihan merely glanced at Tu Ba, the warning in his eyes enough to deter him from attacking Nuwa and the others.

"A mere quasi-saint dares to stop me? Does he have a death wish?"

Murphy piloted the mecha, accelerating to Yi Shuihan's side in an instant. As he threw a punch, several blood-red energy whips appeared behind the mecha, lashing out at Yi Shuihan from all directions, making them extremely difficult to defend against.

According to Murphy's plan, even if the quasi-saint in front of her managed to defend against her attack, he would quickly be defeated by her onslaught of attacks and might even be killed outright. However, what happened next left her stunned.
