Perfect World: I Am Shi Yi

These past few days.

Neither the battles between the various large tribes and ferocious beasts, nor the mutual struggle between Shi Yi and the pure-blooded Pi Xiu, caused any wavering in the white light pillar.

The black sphere located within it naturally remained safe and sound.

Up until now.

Shi Yi was the only apparent contender for the Mountain Treasure.

But he wasn't in a hurry to claim the Mountain Treasure. Instead, he opened his Double Pupil again, carefully observing his surroundings to avoid being ambushed by some unknown schemer, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Just like that.

Half a day passed before Shi Yi slowly began to absorb the black sphere within the white light pillar, the so-called Mountain Treasure.

This was a time-consuming and lengthy process. During this time, he couldn't move; otherwise, the Mountain Treasure would instantly return to its original spot.

It wasn't strange that it was so peculiar.

These Mountain Treasures were not treasures born from Heaven and Earth; they were all things that had fallen from the Upper Realm. This special array restriction was precisely to prevent someone from grabbing the Mountain Treasure and running.

The Upper Realm mighty figures threw down the Mountain Treasures, letting people fight and compete for them, wanting the beings of the Lower Realm to kill each other for the Mountain Treasures until the strongest being was determined.

Deep within the Great Wilderness.

"Are we just going to watch like this? Watch a human youth just take away the Mountain Treasure nurtured by the Great Wilderness?"

"What nurtured by the Great Wilderness? Don't you understand where these things come from? They were all thrown down by Upper Realm mighty figures."

"No matter where they came from, there's no doubt they are treasures. To just give this great opportunity to a human youth, I, Qiongqi, cannot swallow this."

"The Vermillion Bird isn't even fighting for this Mountain Treasure. Either its value isn't great, or there's a trap. It's definitely not a good thing! If you want to fight for it, go ahead and fight for it if you like."

"Pedantic. You are a Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. In terms of bloodline potential, you are no worse than the Vermillion Bird, yet all you do is compare yourself to the Vermillion Bird all day."

"Hmph, calling me pedantic? Aren't you always trying to surpass Zhu Yan? But in a one-on-one fight, you'll never be its opponent."

Just like that.

These two terrifying beings inexplicably started arguing, exchanging insults, and instead ignored Shi Yi, who was absorbing the Mountain Treasure.

They certainly wouldn't let go of something everyone was fighting for, but since the Vermillion Bird and Zhu Yan, also among the Four Ferocious Beasts, weren't fighting for it, their desire for it wasn't very strong anymore.

This was like a highly sought-after antique vase that the two most powerful individuals on the surface suddenly decided they didn't want.

Others who weren't foolish would consider whether this antique vase was fake, or if there were traps they didn't know about.

Furthermore.

There was the protector behind the Double Pupil user Shi Yi, who had never appeared. These two terrifying beings absolutely did not believe that a Ten Celestial Passages young supreme like Shi Yi didn't have a protector behind him.

Wasn't it just a Mountain Treasure?

There were plenty of Mountain Treasures in the Great Wilderness.

This time.

They would let Shi Yi have it to avoid forming a deadly feud.

Intelligent beings are not foolish. A young supreme like Shi Yi with Ten Celestial Passages is destined to become a deity in the future, far beyond the imagination of beings like themselves trapped in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.

Thus,

With various considerations and fears, Shi Yi obtained the Mountain Treasure without much trouble. However, he was surprised to find that there was a layer of restriction and seal on the Mountain Treasure, which he couldn't open at all.

"Teacher!" Shi Yi called out softly.

The next second,

From the Ten Celestial Passages behind Shi Yi, a shimmering willow branch extended out, wrapped around the Mountain Treasure, and retracted, like a homebody reaching out to grab takeout and returning inside.

"This is an Upper Realm inheritance, containing countless cultivation methods and precious techniques. However, not many of them are useful to you. There is only one cultivation method and one precious technique. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Wait until you cultivate to the Venerable Realm before attempting to cultivate them," the Willow Deity's voice echoed in Shi Yi's mind.

Since the Willow Deity said so,

Shi Yi didn't ask any further.

Currently, his main cultivation is the Original True Understanding and the Willow Deity Method, supplemented by the Kirin Steps and the Suan Ni Precious Technique, which has already left him exhausted.

Cultivating new cultivation methods and precious techniques would only make him know a little of everything but not be proficient in anything, turning him into the next Murong Fu.

A few more days passed.

After resting well, Shi Yi walked out of the Great Wilderness, towards the direction of the sunrise in the east, preparing to return and question the people of the Martial King Manor about why they had forgotten him.

However, just as he was about to leave the Great Wilderness,

He unexpectedly encountered the group from the small town again.

Except for the Flood Dragon Clan and the Snow Clan, the teams from the other tribes and great clans had already returned to their respective tribes and great clans. The Flood Dragon Clan and the Snow Clan had traveled together this far and were also about to part ways, each returning home and finding their own mothers.

"Brother Tian, you don't know, deep in the Great Wilderness, there was a sky full of lightning seas. A human expert fought with that pure-blooded ferocious beast, the Pi Xiu, which had already reached adulthood, for ten days and ten nights."

"Not only that, those ten shining suns were even more shocking."

"Grandpa said they were Grotto-heavens, but I don't believe it. How could there be Ten Grotto-heavens!"

A group of beautiful young girls from the Snow Clan chattered incessantly around Shi Yi.

Perhaps it was jealousy.

As they were about to part ways,

A young man from the Flood Dragon Clan coldly snorted, "Hmph, that kind of human expert is someone this kind of village bumpkin can never hope to reach. Look, he doesn't know what he went to do either, his animal skin has become tattered. Outside the Great Wilderness, he's just a little beggar."

Everyone present,

Whether it was the beautiful young girls from the Snow Clan, the young man from the Flood Dragon Clan, or the clan elders who brought them out for training, none of them believed that Shi Yi was that human expert. They only thought he had been chased by some powerful ferocious beast, which was why his animal skin and boots were tattered.

"A little beggar! Perhaps."

Shi Yi shrugged, not angry. In his previous life, he was a little beggar no one wanted. It wasn't that he didn't have parents, but his parents just didn't want him, this useless person who couldn't study.

He dropped out of junior high in his second year, started working illegally at thirteen, was cheated out of his money, became homeless, and indeed was a little beggar for a while.

He lived extremely difficultly until he was eighteen, when he could stop working illegally, thinking his fate had turned around. The sweatshop pressed him down, making him unable to lift his head.

From 7:30 in the morning to 10:00 at night.

Sometimes he even had to work overtime until eleven or twelve, turning him into a screw in the factory. The hardships of life completely wore away all the unrealistic fantasies of a young man who once held dreams.

But thankfully,

Shi Yi still believed in the saying "bitter first, sweet later," believing that his difficult days would eventually pass.

So,

Shi Yi endured year after year, and finally waited until the global nuclear war broke out. He never waited for the day of "bitter first, sweet later." He only waited for the extreme light and heat that fell on his head.

On this day,

Tens of millions of people, along with Shi Yi, turned into ashes and left this world without any pain.

A few more days passed.

Shi Yi, who had been walking towards the east, towards the direction where the sun rises, finally stepped out of the vast Great Wilderness spanning billions of miles and arrived at Stone Country, which had billions of common people.

Stone Country was vast, with boundless territory. In terms of land area alone, this ancient country, Stone Country, was several times larger than all the countries on Shi Yi's Azure Blue Planet in his previous life combined.

The location of the Martial King Manor was in the Imperial Capital of Stone Country, only a thousand miles away from the Stone Country Imperial Palace. Saying it was close at hand was not an exaggeration.

As soon as Shi Yi stepped into Stone Country, he felt a gentle force. He understood that this was the Imperial Dragon Qi of the Human Emperor, protecting the people on this land.

Billions of common people believed in the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor protected the billions of common people.

The two complemented each other.

Neither could exist without the other.

However,

In essence, the so-called Human Emperor was equivalent to an artificial Offering Spirit.

The billions of common people in the ancient country did not believe in gods, did not believe in immortals, only believed in the Human Emperor.

Honestly,

Shi Yi liked such a country. What gods, what immortals, they were all unreliable and selfish. Only the Human Emperor was truly worth believing in.

A day later,

Stone Country, Martial King Manor.

"You jinx, get out of the Martial King Manor! This is not where you should be!"

"Aunt, I..."

"What 'I'? You are a harbinger of disaster! So many people died because of you alone."

"Cousin-in-law, stop talking. I will take Hao'er and leave here. We won't cause you any more trouble."

"Go, leave now!"

"Okay, we'll leave now."

As Shi Yi just walked through the gate of the Martial King Manor, he saw a woman in a large red robe pulling a tearful young boy outwards. Their backs looked so lonely and helpless.

However, before Shi Yi could open his mouth to ask for the reason, a woman also wearing a large red robe suddenly pounced on him, causing the mother and son who were about to leave the Martial King Manor to stop in their tracks.

"Yi'er! My Yi'er! You're finally back!"

"Mother, don't be like this. What exactly happened?"

Just as Shi Yi was about to push away the woman who had thrown herself at him, two soft calls came from behind him.

"Yi Gege!"

"Nephew?"
