By giving Yi Shuihan a reward that doesn't even exist yet, the company is essentially getting something for nothing. However, Yi Shuihan should still thank the company for valuing him.

The company doesn't know Yi Shuihan's true strength. In fact, no one knows except himself. On the surface, he has only recently advanced to the Creation Dao Realm. Even if the Dao he created is very strong, it is at most comparable to an ordinary Creation Dao Realm cultivator. In reality, Yi Shuihan's power can be described as invincible in the Creation Dao Realm. He is confident that he can defeat any Creation Dao Realm cultivator.

Fortunately, only Yi Shuihan knew the truth, otherwise this good thing would not have fallen into Yi Shuihan's lap. This time, Yi Shuihan was basically guaranteed to win.

Even if the struggle resumes billions of years later, Yi Shuihan will not be afraid at all. It is unknown how far Yi Shuihan will go by then. There is a high possibility that he will have already achieved the position of Great Dao Emperor. Even if he has not achieved the position of Great Dao Emperor, other contenders will have no chance of winning against him in a local struggle.

"No question, let's go and take over these seven worlds that have undergone great calamities first."

He set off alone, and ten years later, Yi Shuihan arrived in the Great World of Struggle for Fate.

……

"This is the Great World of Destiny Contending. It is indeed hidden extremely deep, even more secretive than the Primordial World. It is comparable to the world in the black hole last time. The Chaos Emperor who happened to enter it was also incredibly lucky in some respects."

What appeared in Yi Shuihan's field of vision were storm clusters formed by chaotic storms. These storm clusters were constantly generating enormous energy, raging in all directions. The surrounding space was extremely unstable, and new storms were being born at any time.

These chaotic storms are impossible for anyone below the level of a Chaos Emperor to pass through. Even for a Chaos Emperor to pass through, those in the Seeking Dao Realm need a certain amount of luck, and those in the Enlightenment Realm can perish if they are not careful. Only those who create a Dao can ignore these storms.

Protected by such a storm cluster, and given the extreme remoteness of this place, it has remained undiscovered for a long time. If it weren't for that Dao Enlightenment Realm cultivator with boundless fortune, this place would probably have remained hidden for who knows how long. Perhaps it wouldn't have been until the Creation Realm cultivators emerged in the world of destiny competition and took the initiative to come out, and only then would it be discovered by all the heavens and myriad realms.

It took Yi Shuihan about half a year to cross the storm cluster and officially enter the Great World of Destiny Contending.

The moment Yi Shuihan entered the world of the struggle for destiny, he realized that he was being watched.

"The Heavenly Dao? Or a Heavenly Dao that has grown up? Impressive. Even the Creator Dao cannot hide from it."

As a Dao Creator, Yi Shuihan is not afraid of the Heavenly Dao of the Great World of Destiny Struggle. Even if the entire Great World of Destiny Struggle were to perish together with him, it would not work. At most, it would severely injure ordinary Dao Creators, but it would pose no threat to Yi Shuihan.

Even if there is no threat, Yi Shuihan cannot afford to offend the Heavenly Dao of this world. His goal is this world, and if the Heavenly Dao were to self-destruct, what would become of Yi Shuihan?

Not only must he not antagonize anyone, Yi Shuihan must also be on good terms with the Heavenly Dao of this world. Therefore, he cannot act too recklessly in this world and must follow its rules.

Chapter 1429, The Black Tower Group

There's a reason why the World of Striving for Fortune is named that.

The core of the Great World of Struggle for Fortune is the word "fortune." Fortune is the essence of this world. Cultivation is inseparable from fortune, so one needs to strive for fortune to become stronger.

For the world of competing for fortune, fortune is equivalent to spiritual energy in a world of immortals. Without spiritual energy, one cannot cultivate immortality and cannot be called a world of immortals. If the world of competing for fortune has no fortune, then it cannot be called a world of competing for fortune, or even a world of immortals.

The Great World of Struggle for Fortune has quietly developed through luck, and has survived seven immeasurable eons, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Once the Heavenly Dao appeared and discovered Yi Shuihan's goodwill, it concealed itself. In doing so, it gave Yi Shuihan some information, explaining what he could and could not do in this world.

From the perspective of the Great World of Struggle for Destiny, Yi Shuihan is an invader, and an extremely powerful one at that, so powerful that even the Heavenly Dao is helpless against him and can only issue warnings, not expel him.

Intruders are not welcome. The information that Heaven gave Yi Shuihan was very rudimentary, consisting of things that ordinary cultivators in this world already knew. Even slightly more important information was completely absent, such as who the strongest people in this world were, what their strength was, and what the power structure of this world was like.

The information that a powerful being seeking enlightenment wants to find out is not too simple. Even if there are some methods that cannot be used in the Great World of Destiny Competition, the same applies. If soul searching and divination are not possible, then the simplest method is to ask and see.

"I don't know how many representatives have arrived before me."

According to internal company sources, there are about twenty forces of varying sizes participating in this competition, including five forces that will send members to the Chuangdao faction, including the company itself.

Five means that besides Yi Shuihan, there are four other people at the Creation Realm. It seems like a small number, but with five people at the Creation Realm vying for the first place, Yi Shuihan's chances are not small!

The reality is not as simple as it seems. After all, the number of Creation Dao experts is very small, and with the last struggle for the Heart of the Universe, the already scarce number of Creation Dao experts has become even smaller.

In the current world of the struggle for destiny, having five founders gathered together is already considered a grand lineup.

"I guess in the eyes of the other four founders, I'm just here to make up the numbers."

Sitting at a street stall, eating a special kind of noodle, Yi Shuihan's thoughts wandered, completely oblivious to what was happening around him.

"The Black Tower Group is handling business; all irrelevant people, get out of here."

A group of more than ten men, dressed in black half-body armor and carrying curved swords, arrogantly walked towards the stall where Yi Shuihan was.

The people eating noodles at the two tables next to Yi Shuihan immediately ran away in a panic, knocking their bowls and chopsticks to the ground and overturning their chairs.

Seeing this, the so-called Black Tower gang members burst into laughter. When someone passed by them, they would push and shove them, displaying extreme domineering behavior.

The once bustling street suddenly became much quieter, and the onlookers kept their distance.

"It was him, the one who beat up one of our brothers."

When Yi Shuihan came to her senses, she heard this sentence and was bewildered.

Is this a case of mistaken identity? It doesn't seem like it! Yi Shuihan could genuinely tell that the other person was serious and wasn't lying on purpose.

"Kid, you dare to mess with people from our Black Tower Gang? You're asking for trouble."

The leader's face hardened, and he pointed his curved sword at Yi Shuihan, speaking in a cold voice.

Yi Shuihan looked up at the Black Tower Group members, and continued to pick up noodles with her chopsticks amidst their astonished gazes, completely unfazed.

This reaction was clearly not what the other side wanted to see, and the leader immediately flew into a rage, raising his knife and sweeping it across.

The object being swept wasn't Yi Shuihan's body, but rather the bowl of noodles on the table.

Yi Shuihan simply lifted the bowl slightly, and the bowl and the curved blade just missed each other, saving the bowl and the noodles inside.

"Kill him."

The leader shouted, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

The fact that they'd kill someone over a mere disagreement, and act so self-righteously, speaks volumes about the chaos of the world. Clearly, this kind of thing happens all the time, which explains why the Black Tower Gang was so domineering before.

"Sigh, that young man is doomed. If he obediently admits his mistake after offending the Black Tower Gang, he'll at most lose a hand. But if he resists, he won't even lose his life."

"What a pity. He was young and impetuous and didn't know how to be patient. If he had been patient, things would have been peaceful. Being crippled is better than being dead."

"Perhaps this person is capable and not afraid of the Black Tower Gang?"

"How is that possible? The leader of the Black Tower Gang is a person who has embarked on the path of destiny. We ordinary people can only look up to him."

Just when everyone felt sorry for Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan retaliated.

He didn't stand up; he just casually waved his chopsticks around a few times.

The chopsticks, which could be broken with one hand, did not break when they came into contact with the sharp curved knife. Instead, the curved knife was broken by the chopsticks, and the person holding the curved knife was also knocked back.

Dozens of seconds later, all the scimitars were broken in two. The Black Tower Gang members were more than ten meters away from Yi Shuihan, looking at him in fear, completely unlike their arrogant selves at the beginning.

"Captain... Captain, maybe... maybe we should just call it quits?"

"Slap! How can we let this go?"

He slapped his subordinate across the face, then immediately put on a smiling face and cautiously walked in front of Yi Shuihan.

"Sir, this...this is all a misunderstanding. I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to my men's nonsense. How could you possibly offend the Black Tower Gang? It must be them who offended you. Fang Laosan, come here..."

Fang Laosan, the Black Tower gang member who initially identified Yi Shuihan, collapsed to the ground, his face filled with despair.

"Bring that bastard Fang Laosan here."

"Captain, Captain, no! I've been framed! Spare me! I... I... it's all because of my brother-in-law! He offended this old man! He deceived me!"

"puff"

One arm fell to the ground, and Fang Laosan screamed in agony.

The captain glanced at Yi Shuihan, but Yi Shuihan didn't respond. The captain then delivered another clean and decisive slash.

The strike didn't sever an arm; it only cut it in half. The broken scimitar was shorter than the complete one. The captain probably wasn't used to using the broken scimitar and made a small mistake due to nervousness.

Fang Laosan's second arm was ultimately lost, severed by two blows.

Just as the captain looked over again, Yi Shuihan finished the last bite of his noodles and looked over leisurely.

"Take me to your headquarters."

"what!?"

"I want to see your commander. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, no problem!"

Bringing Yi Shuihan back would certainly offend the leader, but the captain ultimately lacked the courage to resist Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 1430, A Body Harder Than Iron

After the group left, Fang Laosan was left wailing in the same spot, looking particularly desolate. However, not a single onlooker sympathized with Fang Laosan. Instead, after Yi Shuihan and the others left, they came over to criticize him and put him down.

Fang Laosan had often bullied ordinary people by taking advantage of his status, and now he had only himself to blame for his current predicament.

Looking back, Fang Laosan was also unlucky. He was right. The whole thing really started because of his brother-in-law. When Yi Shuihan came, he accidentally knocked Fang Laosan's brother-in-law to the ground, which led to what happened later.

Yi Shuihan followed the captain and soon arrived at the Black Tower Gang's base, a castle covering thousands of square meters, located in the very center of the city, which appeared extremely luxurious, thus demonstrating the Black Tower Gang's status.

"Captain Yan, what's going on?"

The Black Tower gang members guarding the gate, including Captain Yan, looked terrified, their scimitars broken, and asked in surprise.

"Open the door for me right now! I have something important to report to the commander. If I'm delayed, you'll take responsibility!"

Captain Yan said sternly.

Although the position of captain is not high-ranking in the Black Tower Group, it is considered a mid-level position. Naturally, it is not comparable to that of a gatekeeper. When Captain Yan said this, the Black Tower Group member guarding the gate quickly opened the gate and apologized profusely.

"and many more."

They had only walked a few steps into the camp when a group of people approached and called out to Captain Yan.

"Wan Jin, get out of my way."

"Hey, you've gotten a temper after going out for a while! What? Want to have a fight? Brothers, grab your weapons and give Captain Yan a welcome back party."

"Yes, Captain Wan."

Captain Wan clearly didn't have a good relationship with Captain Yan, and they often clashed. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan's presence today, Captain Yan might have actually gotten into a fight with him.

Captain Yan was furious and cursed Captain Wan in his heart. He couldn't believe the timing of this trouble-making. Didn't he see that there was a fierce person next to him?

"I admit defeat this time. Get out of my way, and I'll apologize to you later."

"what?"

Captain Wan looked at Captain Yan with surprise. Captain Yan had never bowed his head in the past when they clashed, but this time he bowed his head so quickly, which made him a little confused.

Captain Wan glanced at Captain Yan and his group and noticed the broken scimitar. He immediately guessed the reason: the broken weapon meant they had no choice but to give in because they knew they couldn't win.

“In this way, don’t say I’m heartless. Slap yourself once, then obediently say ‘Uncle Wan, I was wrong’ three times, and I’ll let you go.”

"Don't bully others too much."

"So what if I bully you?"

Captain Yan glanced back at Yi Shuihan and saw that Yi Shuihan was looking at them with great interest. His heart sank. After considering for a moment, he humiliatingly slapped his face and whispered, "Uncle Wan, I was wrong; Uncle Wan, I was wrong; Uncle Wan, I was wrong."

Has he really backed down?

Captain Wan and his group were almost stunned, but after the initial shock came a wave of relief, and they looked at Captain Yan and his group with arrogance.

"Why not take this opportunity to completely humiliate him and cut off his chance to continue competing with me for the position?"

Seeing that other Black Tower members were gradually gathering around, Captain Wan thought to himself.

Why aren't you moving aside?

"Give way? Give way to what? Didn't I just say I'd only give way if you kneel down and admit your mistake?"

"you……!"

Captain Yan's face suddenly turned red, and even Yi Shuihan's threat was temporarily suppressed by his anger, making him wish he could tear the person in front of him to pieces.

"Captain Wan has gone too far! He actually forced Captain Yan to kneel down?"

"A fight is definitely going to break out, and things will get messy later. If a few more people die, the commander will be furious, and neither of them will have a good ending."

"But if any of them are removed from their captaincy, our opportunity will come."

None of the Black Tower members watching came forward to mediate, firstly because their status wasn't high enough, and secondly because letting the two teams fight would be beneficial to them.

Who is he? What does he want?

Yi Shuihan stepped out from behind Captain Yan and headed towards Captain Wan. Although watching these guys fight like dogs could pass the time, Yi Shuihan ultimately decided to find the Black Tower Regiment leader and ask him for the information he wanted.

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Captain Yan immediately calmed down, but when he saw Yi Shuihan walking towards Captain Wan, he became excited.

"Captain Yan, let me teach this team member who doesn't know his place."

Captain Wan didn't realize Yi Shuihan's true identity, mistaking him for Captain Yan's newly recruited henchman. He wielded his curved sword and attacked without any mercy.

"Zheng"

The knife bounced back after striking Yi Shuihan. And that wasn't all; Captain Wan's curved knife then turned to ashes, leaving only the hilt.
