Who’s invading the survival base?” someone shouted in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a massive disturbance—could it be a Great Demon? What happened to the Wisdom Brain's defense system? Why didn't it activate? The enemy has already reached the base's airspace, and the formation hasn't triggered either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it doesn’t seem like an enemy—it seems to be one of us.” Someone far off stared at Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m not mistaken, just now it was this person who caused the commotion—but why would one of us do such a thing? Has this person betrayed humanity? Betrayed Earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, everyone held deep hostility toward Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet none of them moved to attack, for the situation was strange: though the disturbance had been immense, the survival base had suffered no casualties, indicating the attacker had shown restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there were other hidden reasons—better to investigate thoroughly first, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a fighter of this caliber could deliver a devastating blow to the survival base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, hold on—don’t act yet. I think I recognize this person.” Suddenly, an evolver shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others immediately turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a female evolver, also at the Spirit Tribulation Realm, with an A-level clearance in the survival base—she was called Su Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Mu, you know this man?” A tall man clad in battle armor, two precious swords hanging at his waist, flew over immediately—he was Ye Jingtian, deputy base commander of the survival base, holding S-level clearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only someone of extraordinary strength could hold such clearance, for Ye Jingtian had once slain a Great Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu nodded slightly: “His name is Li Yi. When the Demon God Front still stood, he was my comrade—we fought together against the Demon God Front’s invasion. Even then, his strength was formidable—he held a stretch of the frontline alone, slaying several Heavenly Demons. I, however, was injured during the invasion due to my inferior strength and had to leave the frontline to recover. Since then, we’ve never met again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why—I checked and found he also holds A-level clearance. He once slew Heavenly Demons and resisted the Demon God Front’s invasion—he’s a veteran with combat merit. No wonder he shook the entire base; there must be a reason. Su Mu, come with me—we’ll speak with him and find out what’s going on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian said at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu replied: “No problem. I know Li Yi—he’s a man of principles and boundaries, not someone who would cause destruction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the two swiftly flew toward Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, others nearby stood ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a fight broke out, they would rush to support at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve come?” Li Yi stood atop a cloud of auspicious energy, hovering above the survival base, observing his surroundings and sensing the auras of powerful figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a man and a woman approaching, he knew the ones sent to negotiate had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the woman seemed familiar—he remembered now: she was Su Mu, whom he’d seen during his time at the Demon God Front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, it’s me—Su Mu. Do you remember me?” Su Mu flew over and greeted him politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I recognize you. When we guarded the Demon God Front—I didn’t expect you’d be here too. Good. It’s been a while, and you’ve reached the Spirit Tribulation Realm—and you’ve even taken up cultivation arts. Now, even a Heavenly Demon likely isn’t your match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re friends, why cause chaos in the survival base? Your strike shook the entire base—nearly triggered a panic.” Ye Jingtian stepped forward and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s expression remained calm: “I did it on purpose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On purpose?” Ye Jingtian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi said: “I’ve only just crossed over recently and only now learned about the survival base. Today, upon entering, a man named Zhang Yiming claimed to be a patrol officer and demanded to collect my blood for genetic comparison, to prevent spies from infiltrating. Your clearance seems higher than mine—do you know about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian’s expression shifted slightly: “This happened? So you deliberately caused the disturbance to draw out the base’s experts, forcing us to investigate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly.” Li Yi admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Su Mu said: “Li Yi, such a minor matter hardly warrants such a commotion. Just now, you nearly sparked a full-scale battle. The survival base holds many lives—if something went wrong, it would be a devastating blow to humanity’s future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Mu, no—this isn’t a minor matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ye Jingtian raised a hand to cut her off, his expression grave: “Collecting blood from an A-level clearance holder—this hides a conspiracy. Even for identity verification, patrol officers have no authority to do this. That Zhang Yiming is an impostor—not a real patrol officer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, if you trust me, I’ll investigate this. I’ll give you an answer within three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi glanced at him, then said: “If someone’s willing to handle this, that’s best. I’ve just entered the survival base—I don’t want to be dragged into any conspiracy. If this person is guilty, deal with him quickly—don’t let a few individuals jeopardize the base’s future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand. As a high-level cultivator who returned from beyond, you deserve special treatment. If this incident causes you displeasure, it’s the survival base’s loss.” Ye Jingtian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew well: such a powerful figure had long achieved freedom across realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth’s crisis meant nothing to him—he could leave at any moment if he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact he returned meant he could not abandon his homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, people like him were Earth’s future—not those who fled across realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since this is just a misunderstanding, now that it’s cleared up, all’s well.” Ye Jingtian then called out: “Xiao Fei, cancel the alert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Fei was the name of the survival base’s sixth-generation AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Jingtian spoke, the base’s alarm ceased immediately—clearly, his S-level clearance was exceptionally powerful, granting him near-total control over the entire survival base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, with your clearance, you’re entitled to a private residence in the survival base. Would you like to stay in Base Eight for a while?” Ye Jingtian added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m looking for an evolver named Wang Dongtian—he was once the head of the cross-realm base. If you can help, I’ll stay in this survival base.” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized the chance to state his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, no problem—it’s a simple matter. I’ll help you.” Ye Jingtian nodded. To him, finding someone was trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Su Mu added warmly: “Welcome, Li Yi, to Base Eight. Come on—I’ll help you choose a residence. We’re comrades again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’d come here, he’d stay for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Yi left with Su Mu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other experts in the survival base flew over toward Ye Jingtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it? After all that commotion?” someone complained. “Ye Jingtian, you’re too timid. Just fight him if you’re afraid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fight? If you’re so strong, go fight him yourself. He shook the entire base with one strike—his strength starts at Great Demon level. I can kill a Great Demon, but I have no confidence I can kill an evolver who cultivates multiple arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, if we truly fought, this base would be destroyed. And he didn’t intend to cause trouble. Instead of chasing him, shouldn’t we ask why impostors posing as patrol officers are stealing evolver blood inside the base?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Fei, the AI, monitors the entire base—how could such a thing happen? The impostor’s clearance must also be S-level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian’s expression turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few held such clearance. Only a handful of suspects existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a traitor inside the survival base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be unearthed quickly—the longer it took, the greater the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. This matter ends here.” Ye Jingtian forcefully silenced all voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though many resented Li Yi’s actions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no time for seniority or rank—strength granted absolute authority. If Li Yi could slay several Great Demons, Base Eight would immediately become Li’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1419,"2026-06-20T01:27:07.233Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c18372833fa6e9d0851c80e17df7cca7d3f171e79642d6ac16ae27d173b6757a","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-770","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-768",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg",{"terms":24},[25,29,33,37,41,45,49,53,57,61,65,69,73,77,81,85,89,93,97,101,105,109,113,117,121,125,129,133,137,141,145],{"id":26,"raw_term":27,"original_term":28},1803422,"Li Yi","李易",{"id":30,"raw_term":31,"original_term":32},1803423,"Zhao Xiaoxiao","趙曉曉",{"id":34,"raw_term":35,"original_term":36},1803424,"Wu Zhen","吳振",{"id":38,"raw_term":39,"original_term":40},1803425,"Zhang Gao","張高",{"id":42,"raw_term":43,"original_term":44},1803426,"Xiang Xiangzi","香湘子",{"id":46,"raw_term":47,"original_term":48},1803427,"Xuan Yuezi","玄月子",{"id":50,"raw_term":51,"original_term":52},1803428,"Bald Daoist","禿道人",{"id":54,"raw_term":55,"original_term":56},1803429,"Taiyi","太易",{"id":58,"raw_term":59,"original_term":60},1803430,"Yun Feizi","雲妃子",{"id":62,"raw_term":63,"original_term":64},1803431,"Du Baizhi","杜白芷",{"id":66,"raw_term":67,"original_term":68},1803432,"Wu Zuohua","武左華",{"id":70,"raw_term":71,"original_term":72},1803433,"Zhou Yu","周煜",{"id":74,"raw_term":75,"original_term":76},1803434,"Cang'erzi","蒼耳子",{"id":78,"raw_term":79,"original_term":80},1803435,"Li Chengyu","李成玉",{"id":82,"raw_term":83,"original_term":84},1803436,"Tai Xianweng","太仙翁",{"id":86,"raw_term":87,"original_term":88},1803437,"Old Daoist Wu","吳老道",{"id":90,"raw_term":91,"original_term":92},1803438,"Sun Boxiu","孫伯修",{"id":94,"raw_term":95,"original_term":96},1803439,"Tianjiang Zi","天江子",{"id":98,"raw_term":99,"original_term":100},1803440,"Sun Fei","孫飛",{"id":102,"raw_term":103,"original_term":104},1803441,"You Nu","憂女",{"id":106,"raw_term":107,"original_term":108},1803442,"Bai You","白幽",{"id":110,"raw_term":111,"original_term":112},1803443,"Liu Ming","劉明",{"id":114,"raw_term":115,"original_term":116},1803444,"Yang Wei","楊偉",{"id":118,"raw_term":119,"original_term":120},1803445,"Ning Wu","寧舞",{"id":122,"raw_term":123,"original_term":124},1803446,"Haili","海力",{"id":126,"raw_term":127,"original_term":128},1803447,"Meiling","梅玲",{"id":130,"raw_term":131,"original_term":132},1803448,"Shan Yi","善翼",{"id":134,"raw_term":135,"original_term":136},1803449,"Golden Feather Demon King","金羽妖王",{"id":138,"raw_term":139,"original_term":140},1803450,"Wang Chengjun","王成軍",{"id":142,"raw_term":143,"original_term":144},1803451,"Li Weiguo","李衛國",{"id":146,"raw_term":147,"original_term":148},1803452,"Miao Huizi","妙慧子"]
