"You can't pass the test the same way. Was that failure because of external forces? Is that why you wanted to commit suicide?"

Having figured out the answer, Yi Shuihan wasn't much happier. Although the current situation was better than only being able to pass one, both murder and suicide were now occupied. How could he die to pass?

Death is caused by only a few reasons: homicide, suicide, and accidental death.

"So I need to die accidentally? Hmm, that's really easy, easy my ass! How exactly do I need to die accidentally? I have absolutely no idea!"

Yi Shuihan grabbed his hair, looking helpless.

At this time, the other Great Dao Emperors came up on stage to test it. First, they asked the other Great Dao Emperors to kill it. As expected, they failed. Although the killer would be resurrected, he would not pass the test.

He tried various methods to commit suicide, but still failed.

If everyone is not a Great Dao Emperor, there is actually a natural death; when their lifespan ends, they will die. However, this possibility does not apply to Yi Shuihan and the others, as they have infinite lifespans.

"Those predecessors may have perished here, or perhaps they are still waiting in some grand hall."

This is not the myriad realms of the universe, where many abilities are suppressed. Here, Yi Shuihan and his companions cannot create worlds or generate life. Therefore, once trapped, they can only stare blankly and chat with their fellow sufferers to relieve their boredom.

Well, actually, you can reproduce, but that requires a opposite sex. You're talking about asexual reproduction, hermaphroditism? Yi Shuihan chuckled.

Furthermore, given the birth rate of emperors of the Great Dao, even if they had a member of the opposite sex, the chances would be despairing.

"Damn it, what kind of garbage assessment is this? I'm not satisfied."

A Great Emperor roared and punched the stone tablet on the high platform.

This punch seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism; the text on the stone tablet flickered for a moment, and finally changed to "The strong always have privileges. Break the stone tablet to pass this test."

The hall fell silent again. People looked at each other, and then…

"Haha, that's more like it! If you had told me earlier that I could brute force my way through, I would have passed it long ago."

A great emperor laughed loudly and launched an attack on the stone tablet.

Chapter 1521, Let You Talk Too Much

The fist struck the stone tablet with a loud boom, and one could even faintly feel the hall trembling.

"It's definitely not that simple."

Looking at the undamaged stone tablet, a glint flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes.

While the strong may have privileges, only truly strong individuals can enjoy them, and this person clearly cannot be considered a true strong individual.

It is no exaggeration to call a Great Dao Emperor a strongman in all the heavens and myriad realms. A Great Dao Emperor who can sense the opportunity for a breakthrough is even stronger and is the best among Great Dao Emperors. However, once you enter here, the definition of strength and weakness will be rearranged. The strongmen here are ranked according to the Great Dao Emperors who have entered here. Perhaps some Great Dao Emperors are ranked in the top dozens in the outside world, but here they are ranked at the bottom.

"Impossible! I can't break it! I don't believe it! Shatter it!"

It roared and attacked the stone tablet repeatedly, each attack causing the tablet to tremble, but that was all; the stone tablet remained undamaged, without a single fragment.

"Lie Feng, get out of the way, let me handle this."

The speaker was a muscular man, shirtless, with enormous fists that clearly indicated his immense strength.

The expression on the face of the Fierce Wind Emperor changed slightly, clearly showing some apprehension. In the end, he walked to the side reluctantly, looking just like a wronged little wife.

"The founder of the Fist Way, Fist Breaker Emperor, ranks 14th in strength across all realms. Perhaps he has a chance."

Yi Shuihan squinted, observing silently. After the rules on the stone tablet changed, he calmed down. After all, if he couldn't break the stone tablet with his strength, then no one else could.

Yi Shuihan can now be considered the number one person below the Heavenly Emperor. His billions of years of cultivation have not been for nothing. Although he has not fought against the Heavenly Evil Emperor, he is confident that he is not afraid of the Heavenly Evil Emperor.

"Thunderclap Fist".

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Fist Breaker Emperor's fist struck the stone tablet with a whooshing sound.

"What a powerful punch! The power control is exquisite, with no leakage whatsoever. After being thrown, it explodes at a single point, creating an effect similar to a spatial explosion. If this punch were placed in the outside world, it would be no less powerful than the Big Bang."

This punch did not cause a violent tremor, nor did it make a loud sound, but it was completely different from the previous Gale Emperor. The stone tablet was damaged.

A small fragment of the stone tablet fell from where the fist and the stone tablet met, breaking through the defense.

A smile appeared on the face of the Fist Breaker Emperor. Even if he didn't shatter the stone tablet with a single punch, since he could cause damage, he could eventually shatter it completely after a few more attempts.

Not far away, the Gale Emperor's expression turned ugly upon seeing this scene. He had already lost face when the Fist Breaker Emperor drove him away, so naturally he didn't want to see the Fist Breaker Emperor succeed. In his heart, he even darkly hoped that the Fist Breaker Emperor would be unable to damage the stone tablet, just like him.

"The Fist Breaker Emperor's attack power far exceeds mine. Even his full-force attack could only barely damage the stone tablet. It would be difficult for me. Unfortunately, I am not very good at head-on combat."

The Thousand Transformations Emperor was also in a heavy mood. If it came down to overall ability, he believed he could fight the Fist Breaker Emperor. He wouldn't necessarily win, but he certainly wouldn't lose. With his various transformation techniques, he could definitely give his enemies a headache. However, what he needed was strong attack power. Otherwise, no matter how he transformed, it would be useless, like talking to a brick wall.

Of the eight Great Dao Emperors, Thunder Emperor and Ice-Melting Emperor have already passed. Among the remaining six, Yi Shuihan is the strongest, followed by Life Emperor and Fist-Breaking Emperor. Life Emperor's strength lies mainly in his vitality, and his attack power may not be as good as Fist-Breaking Emperor's.

Of the remaining three Great Dao Emperors, the Gale Emperor is unlikely to pass, the Thousand Transformations Emperor thinks it's very difficult, and the last one is even weaker than the Gale Emperor, so he has no chance either.

As the Fist Breaker continued to bombard the stone tablet, more and more fragments fell off. Judging from the trend, if the Fist Breaker continued to bombard the stone tablet for another half hour, it would be completely shattered.

"If this stone tablet is destroyed, wouldn't that mean that the test can no longer be conducted, which means that only one person can pass the test using this method?"

Suddenly, Emperor Liefeng spoke, his eyes fixed on Yi Shuihan.

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat eerie. Even the Fist-Breaking Emperor paused for a moment before accelerating his attack.

Without a doubt, Emperor Liefeng has offended Emperor Quanpo quite badly this time. If Emperor Quanpo hadn't given up on smashing the stone tablet, he would probably be grinding Emperor Liefeng into the ground right now.

“Disciple, what he said makes sense. If only one can pass, I hope it is you.”

The Emperor of Life made his stance clear, and it wasn't just talk; the next moment, he directly intervened and interfered with the Fist-Breaking Emperor.

The continuous barrage of punches from the Fist Breaker Emperor was abruptly interrupted, and he stopped. He looked at the Life Emperor with apprehension, his face contorted with rage, as if he was about to explode at any moment. However, upon seeing Yi Shuihan beside the Life Emperor, he finally restrained himself. He knew he was no match for Yi Shuihan, a fact that had already been proven.

"Everything should follow a first-come, first-served order. What do you mean by suddenly launching a sneak attack, Life Emperor? How shameless!"

If he's not good at martial arts, he can certainly offer some words of wisdom, though he can only engage in empty talk.

"I clearly attacked openly and fairly, so how can it be called a sneak attack? Besides, who decided on the order of arrival? The stone tablet clearly states that the strong have special privileges. I was just exercising my disciple's privileges."

The Emperor of Life spoke with conviction.

Fist Breaker Emperor hadn't expected Life Emperor to say that, and for a moment he couldn't think of a rebuttal. When he was speechless, he saw Gale Emperor with a smile on his face not far away. He suddenly took a step and rushed to Gale Emperor's side in an instant.

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing! I'll do it to you."

The fist went straight for the face of the Gale Emperor. The Gale Emperor and the Fist Breaker Emperor were far apart in strength, so the Gale Emperor couldn't defend against it at all. He was beaten black and blue in just a few punches.

"It's all your fault, you talk too much, don't you? I'll teach you to talk too much, I'll teach you to talk too much."

"Help! Don't hit me, I need a tonic..."

He was beaten so badly that he could no longer speak clearly.

Chapter 1522, Different Lives

The Gale Emperor was beaten terribly, but none of the Great Dao Emperors present came to his aid. The Thousand Transformations Emperor did not have the strength, Yi Shuihan was disdainful, and the Life Emperor had just interrupted the Fist Breaker Emperor and did not want to push the Fist Breaker Emperor too far. Although he was not afraid, it would make things very troublesome.

Before long, the Gale Emperor was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground in an extremely undignified manner. This situation would never happen in the myriad realms. With his strength greatly restricted, the Great Dao Emperor also regained some weaknesses.

In all the myriad realms, knocking out a Great Dao Emperor is almost impossible; it is even more difficult than killing one.

The continuous bombardment of the stone tablet, the knocking out of Emperor Liefeng, and the punch that broke Emperor Liefeng were not without their own exhaustion. After all, this is not the myriad realms, and using power here requires more effort. At this moment, his chest was heaving, his breathing was uneven, and there was a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead.

"Go and smash the stone tablet right now."

Seeing that Yi Shuihan had not made a move for a long time, the Emperor of Life urged him on.

"Don't worry about me, those few can't do anything to me."

Thinking that Yi Shuihan was worried that the Fist Breaker Emperor and others would retaliate after he broke through the barrier, the Life Emperor said casually.

In fact, the Emperor of Life also knew that in this place where his strength was weakened in all aspects, although his life recovery ability was still there, it was far less than in the myriad worlds. If he were to be ganged up on, even if he didn't die, he would suffer a lot.

"Or we could take down Fist Breaker Emperor first, then the remaining few combined wouldn't be a match for Master."

Thinking this, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but release a bit of killing intent, which immediately made Fist Breaking Emperor and the others tense.

Wow

The fragments of the fallen stone tablet miraculously returned to the tablet as if time had reversed, and in the blink of an eye, the tablet was restored to its original state before it was struck by the Fist-Breaking Emperor.

"This is……"

Thinking of something, Yi Shuihan casually struck out with his palm, and a large piece of the stone tablet fell off, causing damage similar to that caused when he punched the Emperor Venerable for so long.

"So strong."

Even the Fist Breaker Emperor was stunned. He had only managed to get a few fragments off the stone tablet with all his might, while Yi Shuihan had achieved a similar effect with a casual palm strike. The difference in strength between the two was too great.

If Yi Shuihan had really made a move, he could have easily shattered the stone tablet with a couple more casual strikes. However, he only struck once and then stopped.

“Master, come and try. I’m guessing that the stone tablet can be tested repeatedly. If it’s restored immediately when you come over.”

The Emperor of Life hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

When Yi Shuihan stepped aside and the Emperor of Life stood in front of the stone tablet, the stone tablet indeed recovered and became intact again.

This scene, coupled with Yi Shuihan's words, immediately brought a look of surprise to the eyes of Fist Breaking Emperor and the others.

The reason why Fist Breaker Emperor was so furious and beat up Gale Emperor without a word was because he thought the stone tablet could only be tested once and could not be repaired once it was broken, which would be equivalent to cutting off his chance of passing the test. Now that he knew the stone tablet could be tested multiple times, he felt much better.

"Guessing is just guessing. You go first. If we can continue testing, I will definitely follow. Don't say any more. Even if I go first, I still can't pass. My frontal attack power is still a bit insufficient."

To convince Yi Shuihan, the Emperor of Life punched the stone tablet. Just like the Emperor of Gale, the punch was very loud, but the stone tablet was not damaged. Of course, just by listening to the sound, one could tell that the Emperor of Life's attack power was slightly higher than that of the Emperor of Gale.

Yi Shuihan could tell that the Emperor of Life was truly not holding back, and he was somewhat worried.

In the end, Yi Shuihan chose to believe in the Life Emperor. He had no choice but to believe, as his current strength was not enough to break the rules. He could only hope that the Life Emperor would successfully break through before helping his master. Of course, by then, the Life Emperor might not be needed anymore.

Standing before the stone tablet once more, Yi Shuihan gathered all his strength and unleashed a powerful attack.

The stone tablet was unable to withstand Yi Shuihan's full power and shattered. At the same time, the fluorescent light on Yi Shuihan's body began to flicker.

"Listen up, you lot. You'd better not lay a hand on my master, or I'll make you wish you were dead when I break through."

Knowing that he was about to leave, Yi Shuihan hurriedly said to Fist Breaking Emperor and the others that as the most talented person in history, his breakthrough was very likely, which was enough to make Fist Breaking Emperor and the others hesitate to act against him, at least for a short time.

In the final moments before the teleportation, Yi Shuihan saw the stone tablet being restored, which put his mind at ease.

Opening his eyes, Yi Shuihan looked somewhat bewildered. What came into view was an ordinary bedroom, which immediately awakened his memory.

"This is...my room. I didn't become a Great Dao Emperor and then sense the opportunity for a breakthrough..."

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan clutched his head, in great pain.

"Didi, Didi"

The alarm clock rang

"It's already 8:30, and the interview starts at 10. I need to hurry."

He got up, dressed, washed up, grabbed his resume, and hurriedly went out, disappearing into the bustling crowd, just like any other ordinary person. At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to the time before he encountered that magical resume, when he was busy looking for a job.

"Young man, although you have no experience, I feel you can handle this job the moment I see you. Come to work tomorrow! How about 5,000 for the probation period?"

The middle-aged manager patted Yi Shuihan on the shoulder and said kindly.

"Okay, no problem. I need to go to work tomorrow. Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"Just remember to report at 9 o'clock tomorrow, and I'll take you there."

Afterwards, Yi Shuihan happily returned home and ordered a good meal to celebrate.

Work went exceptionally smoothly. Yi Shuihan seemed to have divine assistance. He was promoted and given a raise to become a manager within six months, and then became a general manager within two years. Moreover, because of his abilities, he caught the eye of the company chairman's daughter and successfully married a beautiful and wealthy woman.

He got married, had children, and enjoyed both a successful career and a fulfilling personal life until he was over fifty.

One day, Yi Shuihan went to pick up his grandson from kindergarten. On his way home, he happened to see a small advertisement on the wall.

Job posting: Due to a shortage of personnel, we are currently looking for one system experimenter...

Like a thunderclap, Yi Shuihan froze on the spot.

Chapter 1523, Parachute Landing and Free Fall

When Yi Shuihan's grandson saw his grandfather stop, he was puzzled. He grabbed Yi Shuihan's hand and swayed it from side to side, saying cutely, "Grandpa, let's go! There's a milk tea shop up ahead. Xiaoyun from the next class said that the milk tea there is really delicious. Xiaotian wants to drink some too."

However, his grandfather, who usually doted on him, did not smile and agree to his request as before. This displeased Xiao Tian, ​​who used all his strength to pull on Yi Shuihan's hand, trying to lead Yi Shuihan away.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa will take you to have a drink. Take your time."

Yi Shuihan seemed to realize what was happening and reverted to his role as a kind grandfather. When he heard that his grandfather had agreed to take him to drink milk tea, Xiao Tian finally smiled and skipped ahead.

"Is that so?"

Yi Shuihan's eyes were complex; they were not the kind of eyes an ordinary man in his fifties would have.

That day, Yi Shuihan continued with his usual life until the clock struck midnight.
