Multiverse Skill System

In the world of cultivation, those who maintain the appearance of an old man mostly do so to maintain their dignity. Well, an old man's name immediately suggests a high seniority. Of course, there are also some beings who deliberately maintain the image of an old man to gain sympathy or to appear weak to their enemies.

Judging by appearance is an incorrigible bad habit of living beings, especially when meeting someone for the first time. If the person in front of you is a cute little child or a cute little girl, you will never think of them as very powerful.

It seems so incongruous that a child could become the ruler of a powerful force, doesn't it?

"Chairman, things are so chaotic outside, and the company has suffered such great losses. Is it really a good idea for us to soak in the hot springs here?"

"Hehehe, don't judge a book by its cover. Although we have lost some things, we will soon have more compensation. Besides, I usually leave these small matters to Yuanfo. It's not too late for me to step in if he can't handle them."

The Supreme Emperor of the Void said calmly.

Despite the fact that half of the company headquarters on the mainland was destroyed and countless losses were incurred, Emperor Jikong spoke as if it were just a minor incident.

Seeing the way the Supreme Emperor of the Void looked, Yi Shuihan had a lot of doubts about one thing: whether he had actually taken any action when the evil spirits invaded. Could it be that he simply stayed here and watched the show?

As a company chairman, Emperor Jikong is undoubtedly somewhat unqualified. If he could be more serious, the company's losses would be reduced considerably. However, on the other hand, he is qualified. It is precisely because of his composure that the company's senior executives have a backbone and do not panic. They feel confident knowing that the chairman has not yet made a move.

Besides the chairman, Emperor Jikong, the person who created the company also gave the company's employees considerable confidence. Such a company is incredibly powerful, far superior to organizations like the Business Alliance that lack a solid foundation.

"More compensation, are you referring to the redistribution of power after the war? This demonic invasion was indeed terrifying. Even the Merchant Alliance was almost wiped out, let alone other forces. Once the demons are repelled, there will be a lot of empty space in the myriad worlds. At that time, the company can use the excuse of the company's great losses to take a large share of the profits. Of course, this is on the premise that the demons will be repelled."

After hearing what Emperor Jikong said, Yi Shuihan suddenly felt that this demonic invasion was nothing special, and the sense of urgency and tension he felt when fighting the demons before was actually unnecessary.

In that instant, Yi Shuihan's mindset underwent a transformation. He saw a higher level and was born with transcendence. Yi Shuihan himself realized this and accepted this change with equanimity.

It must be said that the company is indeed well-established and has a deep foundation. Yi Shuihan benefited greatly from just one meeting with the chairman. Yi Shuihan is quite lucky. He originally thought that his greatest identity was Salama's disciple, but he gained the most from being a company employee.

Even the Supreme Emperor of the Void wasn't in a hurry, which also encouraged Yi Shuihan. In addition, Yi Shuihan originally wanted to soak for a while longer, so he naturally enjoyed the hospitality.

……

"Judging from your appearance, you must have gained a lot. The chairman values ​​you highly!"

The Buddha-like smile on Yuanfo Emperor's face brings immense peace of mind. Those with weak wills are instantly converted upon seeing this smile; wherever he is, there is paradise.

Yi Shuihan was naturally unaffected and readily accepted the goodwill shown by Yuanfo Emperor.

"The chairman is a very kind elder."

"A kind elder?"

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's description, Yuanfo Emperor was momentarily taken aback. Clearly, in his memory, what Jikong Emperor said did not match what Yi Shuihan had said at all.

It's easy to understand. He doesn't care about such a big thing happening in the company, only about things he cares about himself. He leaves everything to the boss. Yuanfo Emperor has often complained about this kind of boss. Kindness? Clearly, it's viciousness! A hands-off manager who only exploits his subordinates.

Yuan Fo led Yi Shuihan to the company's meeting room, then said somewhat apologetically...

"I've already spoken to the database staff. Since you don't know the way, I've asked Empress Xinrui to accompany you. I'll have to excuse myself now. If there's anything you need, you can ask Empress Xinrui to pass it on to me."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get back to work!"

It was already a great favor that he was given the opportunity to come out, so Yi Shuihan had no complaints. This man was the actual controller of the company, and now the company was in such a mess that he had to clean up. It was as if he had taken a little time out of his busy schedule to accompany him.

Chapter 1501, Farewell to the Fragrance of a Hundred Flowers

"I have restored Xiao Xiang's memory. She misses you a lot. You can go see her if you have time."

When only Yi Shuihan and Emperor Xinrui were left, Emperor Xinrui's first words were this, which surprised Yi Shuihan slightly.

The intentions of Emperor Xinrui are far too obvious! This is a far cry from when Yi Shuihan was merely a Chaos Emperor.

Even though Yi Shuihan has now become a Great Dao Emperor, Xinrui Dizun is also a Great Dao Emperor. Even if her strength is not as good as Yi Shuihan's, she doesn't need to use this method to build relationships. She should at least be more reserved!

Yi Shuihan was unaware that Emperor Xinrui's dramatic transformation was due to both a change in his strength and a profound sense of crisis he had experienced during this demonic invasion.

You should know that some Great Dao Emperors have fallen here. Xinrui Emperor Venerable's strength is only average among the Great Dao Emperors. Those stronger than her have all fallen. She was just lucky to survive.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, she had already let go of the past. What did face matter? Building a good relationship with Yi Shuihan would make it easier to ask for help in case of danger in the future. Moreover, Empress Xinrui was somewhat worried that Yi Shuihan might have really forgotten Baihuaxiang, just as he had promised not to look for her.

In the eyes of the current Empress Xinrui, Yi Shuihan is an ideal son-in-law, especially given the current chaotic situation in the myriad realms. As long as Baihuaxiang becomes Yi Shuihan's woman, her safety will be greatly enhanced, perhaps even more so than that of the Great Dao Emperor herself.

Emperor Xinrui had long since thoroughly studied Yi Shuihan and knew that he was a loyal and righteous man, not a scumbag. Entrusting Baihuaxiang to him was definitely not a bad deal.

"I'll be there."

Although he didn't know why Emperor Xinrui had changed so much, Yi Shuihan didn't show any displeasure and replied very seriously.

Yi Shuihan's answer brought a smile to Empress Xinrui's face, and her gaze towards Yi Shuihan softened considerably. It was estimated that she had now entered the state of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and liked him more and more the more she looked at him.

Thinking back to their first meeting, Emperor Xinrui was so aloof that she practically wanted to kick Yi Shuihan out immediately. She was completely different from how she is now. It just goes to show how unpredictable life is. Even Yi Shuihan back then couldn't have imagined things would turn out this way.

Under pressure, Yi Shuihan agreed to Xinrui Emperor's conditions and left Baihuaxiang. Although he thought he would wait until he became a Great Dao Emperor before seeing Baihuaxiang again, recovering her memories, and then asking her in person what she thought. If Baihuaxiang was willing to be with him, he would take her away even if he had to snatch her, and he didn't care if he fell out with Xinrui Emperor.

"It seems there's no possibility of falling out with Empress Xinrui."

Thinking of this, Yi Shuihan felt a strange sense of regret.

"I trouble you, Empress Xinrui, to take me to the database."

"Don't call me Empress Xinrui, it's too formal. Just call me Aunt Xinrui."

This tactic reminded Yi Shuihan of the Poison Heart Emperor from back then, but obviously the two are completely different now.

"Aunt Xinrui".

The first time Yi Shuihan uttered it, he felt slightly ashamed, but he got used to it completely afterward.

"Hey, Xiao Yi! You don't mind me calling you that, do you?"

Calling him Xiao Yi when they are both Great Dao Emperors is somewhat inappropriate. It would make Yi Shuihan appear to be a generation lower, unless Yi Shuihan and Bai Huaxiang actually get together.

"I don't mind, I don't mind, whatever you want."

With a forced laugh, Yi Shuihan felt uncomfortable all over. Compared to this Xinrui Emperor, he suddenly felt that the aloof version from back then was more acceptable to him.

Seemingly realizing that she had been too hasty, Empress Xinrui did not take any further steps and silently led Yi Shuihan all the way to the database.

The person guarding the database was also a Great Dao Emperor. Because they were prepared in advance, Yi Shuihan was led inside as soon as he arrived.

"Here's the information you wanted. Go in and take a look. Then leave."

Have you prepared the materials separately? It seems we can only look at the things related to the Origin System plan that the Supreme Emperor of the Void promised.

Upon entering the room, he found that, as he had expected, all the information was related to the original system, and there was no other information at all.

Yi Shuihan wasn't disappointed. That was all he wanted to see; he wasn't really interested in anything else.

One day later, Yi Shuihan walked out of the room, having a clear understanding of everything about the Origin System, and no longer had any doubts.

Outside the database, Yi Shuihan met Emperor Xinrui, who was still waiting. After nodding to each other, Yi Shuihan followed Emperor Xinrui away.

He had already accomplished his purpose in coming to the company headquarters. If it weren't for the change in his mindset after talking with Emperor Jikong, he might have wanted to find out the company's senior management's views on the demonic invasion and what they would do next, in order to plan for future actions. But now, he wasn't in a hurry, since everyone knew that the demons would ultimately not be able to cause any trouble.

As a result, Emperor Xinrui mentioned the fragrance of a hundred flowers to him many times, and half-heartedly, Yi Shuihan followed Emperor Xinrui to the Flower Realm.

"Mother."

Baihuaxiang ran over happily when she saw Emperor Xinrui, but when she saw Yi Shuihan behind Emperor Xinrui, she was stunned and stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, her eyes gradually becoming moist.

"You two chat, I have some things to take care of."

Emperor Xinrui hastily left after uttering a single sentence.

Although they hadn't seen each other for so many years, the way Bai Huaxiang looked at him made Yi Shuihan realize that time hadn't faded everything, and Bai Huaxiang still had feelings for him.

The battle-hardened Yi Shuihan stepped forward and gently gave Bai Huaxiang a hug, and he could feel Bai Huaxiang's body trembling slightly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Don't go, please don't go anymore. If you have to go... take me with you."

Bai Huaxiang's shoulders were slightly damp from her tears. Yi Shuihan could have dried his clothes instantly, but he didn't. Instead, he hugged Bai Huaxiang even tighter.

After a long while, once Baihuaxiang's emotions had completely calmed down, Yi Shuihan finally spoke.

"Would you like to hear a story?"

"Okay, I'm listening."

"There is a planet called Earth, and there..."

Chapter 1502, The Black Sheep

"...After breaking through to the Chaos Emperor level at the All-Worlds United High School, he decided to go to Chaos City, the center of all the worlds, to participate in that selection. There he met a beautiful girl named Baihuaxiang."

It's another story of her own, only this time it's told in more detail and with more emotion than the one told to the Supreme Emperor of the Void.

"I think you've already guessed who the protagonist of this story is. It's me. Back then, I returned to the Flower Realm with you, but due to pressure from your mother, I chose to leave temporarily. Now that I'm back, it's time to make everything clear."

From Yi Shuihan's tone, Bai Huaxiang could vaguely sense what he was about to say. She suddenly held her breath, like a prisoner about to be judged. Even the air seemed to stop flowing, sensing her tension.

"So, would you still want to be with me, given this?"

"I..." Her eyes welled up with tears again. "I'm willing, I'm willing."

When Bai Huaxiang heard that Yi Shuihan had many women, she wondered if he didn't care about her at all. She felt jealous and resentful, but more than that, she was apprehensive and afraid that Yi Shuihan didn't like her.

As the daughter of the Great Dao Emperor, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and was born noble. She was even more awesome than the sons of other worlds. With such a status, it was perfectly reasonable for her to pursue monogamy, and even multi-wifery was understandable.

If she hadn't met Yi Shuihan, she probably wouldn't have even considered sharing a man with someone else.

Love is a wondrous thing, possessing magical power that can change hearts. When you are willing to give your life for someone, or to live a life worse than death for someone, you will understand a part of love.

In a place that Yi Shuihan could sense but Bai Huaxiang could not, Emperor Xinrui silently watched the two embracing tightly, a complex expression on her face. She was happy that the two could come together, but also reluctant that her daughter was about to get married and no longer belong to her alone.

The day after confirming their relationship, Emperor Xinrui announced the marriage of the Flower Realm's daughter to the entire world in the Flower Realm, and all living beings in the Flower Realm offered their blessings for the fragrance of a hundred flowers.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, there was a young man who liked to cling to the fragrance of a hundred flowers. He threw himself into his mother's arms and cried his eyes out, as if he wanted to fight Yi Shuihan to the death. To fight a Great Dao Emperor to the death, I can only say that young man, you have a lot of courage.

Having abducted someone's daughter, he couldn't just run away immediately. So Yi Shuihan stayed in the Flower Realm for a while and held a wedding there that was supposedly simple but was actually incredibly luxurious. The simplicity was just because of the current situation in all the heavens and myriad realms, so there wasn't a grand celebration, such as inviting friends and relatives from all the heavens and myriad realms.

The wedding did indeed invite some people, such as Yi Shuihan's two masters. Even though they are very busy now, they still came to their disciple Yi Shuihan's wedding.

Having stayed in the Flower Realm for more than three months, Yi Shuihan thought it wouldn't matter if he stayed for several more years. After all, Bai Huaxiang was his woman. If the situation in the myriad realms wasn't so tense right now, he could stay in the Flower Realm for tens of thousands, or even millions of years, let alone a few years.

However, Baihuaxiang was ultimately understanding and suggested that Yi Shuihan not accompany her, hoping that he would go do his own thing.

“It’s not like we’ve broken up. I’ll enter your personal world and live with my sisters. You can come see me anytime.”

I don't know where Baihuaxiang got the confidence to call Hancock and the others "older sisters," when in terms of age she could be their ancestor for countless generations.

"Isn't this a bit unfriendly to my mother-in-law?"

"Mother will understand."

So Yi Shuihan left the Flower Realm.

……

"Young friend, what brings you here today? You can be the groom, and you can even take a break for decades."

Ordinary people get married and rest for a few days, maybe have a honeymoon. But you're talking about decades, that's enough. But Yi Shuihan wasn't surprised. Ordinary people are ordinary people, but the problem is he's not ordinary!

"I am a member of the company, after all. I didn't come to help when the company was invaded by evil spirits before, but now I'm here to make amends. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"How could you not help? Didn't you save the entire branch in Chaos City? You hadn't even broken through yet, and you did more than enough. As an employee, you are excellent."

Yuanfo Emperor gave a very "fair" evaluation, which made Yi Shuihan feel a little ashamed.

"It's just my duty."

"Although it is their duty, there are still some people who cannot do it. They will take advantage of the benefits, but shirk their responsibilities when they should. In such a large company, there have been quite a few bad apples this time."

He should have been furious when he said this, but Yuanfo Dizun's expression was exactly the same as before, unchanged like that of the Buddha, which seemed a bit strange.

"Isn't it enough to just get rid of the bad apples?"

"So, are you willing to take on this task?"

"A mission! What mission?"

"Get rid of the bad apples."

Yi Shuihan was speechless. This mission was somewhat offensive and did not align with his original intentions. He had actually come to inquire about the company's policy towards evil spirits and preferred a mission involving fighting or negotiating with them.

After thinking it over, Yi Shuihan didn't refuse. He wasn't afraid of offending anyone, nor did he care about the time. He would just forcefully push forward, and it shouldn't take long.

"This is a list of bad apples. I'm entrusting it to you, young friend. Anyone on the list is entirely at your disposal. If anyone tries to obstruct you, you can kill anyone below the level of a Great Dao Emperor. As for Great Dao Emperors, tell them to come find me."

This statement is equivalent to an imperial edict, granting Yi Shuihan immense power. Even without this power, Yi Shuihan would still kill as he sees fit, and nothing would change. This power merely makes Yi Shuihan's killings seem more justified in name.

Because of the mission, Yi Shuihan gained the position of a company law enforcement officer, which quickly spread throughout the company, causing panic among the employees on the list.

Chapter 1503, Swift and Decisive Measures

In the dimly lit room, more than a dozen imposing figures sat quietly around a conference table. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and without a certain amount of willpower, one would be directly overwhelmed by the pressure in this environment.

After a long silence, someone spoke up: "We're all in the same boat. Only by working together can we get through this difficult time. Let's all talk about it! How should we deal with Yi Shuihan?"
