Though the Self-Sacrifice Spell ensured they could never betray him, they couldn’t just go through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had brought them out of the End-Dharma world and given them new life; in exchange, they owed him service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fundamentally, this was a transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these high-level cultivators came to Earth, regained their strength, and then refused to serve him, they’d be breaking their original pact—and Li Yi wouldn’t mind making an example of one or two to warn the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were many Three Flower Realm masters in the End-Dharma cultivation world; he trusted that next time he returned, True Person Zi Yu would surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Wu the Daoist remained silent, his heart uneasy—he knew his failure to rush to Tianchang City’s aid had angered Taiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he wouldn’t have worried much, since Taiyi still needed his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi’s power was no longer what it once was; a Three Flower Realm cultivator might not even merit his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must find an opportunity to make up for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu the Daoist thought to himself; his two Dao Flowers faintly sensed celestial omens—he had to resolve this misunderstanding, or future consequences would be endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered forces from all directions reunited in the war council hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the crowd was large, it still seemed sparse against the vast emptiness of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi,” Ye Jingtian walked over and greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded slightly, then said: “Xiao Jianguo was probably you who found him for me. I’ve contacted him and reached an agreement—thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian waved his hand with a smile: “I should be thanking you. With the battle armor you lent me, I’m confident I’ll survive this battlefield. I just don’t know how lucky we’ll be—whether we’ll be chosen to fight. Based on past records, each deployment usually involves twenty to thirty people, with the maximum ever being fifty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I actually hope we’re chosen this time,” Li Yi said. “Otherwise, I’d have to wait for the next round—I don’t have time to wait around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needed to condense his Primordial Spirit Manifestation, travel to World #36, and return to the Wildlands’ Chijin Mountain—there was much to do, so he wanted to earn a major merit soon and request leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush,” Jiang Yue, captain of the No. 9 Combat Team, stepped forward. “I understand your eagerness to kill enemies. I’ve reported your situation upward. With your two joining, our team’s overall strength has greatly improved. If the number of deployed personnel exceeds thirty, our chances of being selected are very high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to last time, he now carried more edge, his eyes filled with a thirst for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough about that. Let me introduce you two to two other teammates.” Jiang Yue then pointed to a young man, around twenty, clad in battle armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s Long Jie. His strength is impressive—he’s already crossed the Spiritual Tribulation and cultivates the Immortal Path. He can hold off a Great Demon for a while without trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Li Yi, Ye Jingtian,” Long Jie smiled and greeted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yue continued: “This lady beside him is Zheng Duoduo. She primarily cultivates Evolution Law and Gene Law. Her gene ability is Perception—and her perception is nearly as strong as a Mahayana cultivator’s spiritual sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, a woman with purple hair, clad in battle armor and with a curvaceous figure, warmly returned the greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging greetings, they were now acquainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi also learned that the No. 9 Combat Team was overall weak—because during the last battlefield, the two core members had died and never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Ye Jingtian and Li Yi’s arrival, this team couldn’t even manage a single Great Demon—they lacked combat capability entirely. Sending them to the battlefield would only burden other teams, so their planned disbandment wasn’t without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While time remained before full assembly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yue spoke again: “Li Yi, Ye Jingtian—you both possess the strength to kill a Great Demon alone. But on the battlefield, it won’t be like that. The enemy outnumber us and are stronger overall. Once combat begins, you must strike fastest, hardest, and eliminate targets immediately to reduce their numbers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you fail to do this, the mission fails. Failure means either heavy losses or total annihilation of your team. I want you both to remember this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imparted this piece of hard-won experience—other details weren’t necessary, but this point had to be made clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many evolutionists who reached the battlefield failed to adapt—holding back in combat, unable to kill instantly. Once dragged into prolonged fighting, the team was certain to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy were all Great Demons—Mahayana-level Qiangzhe .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Earth’s evolutionists, simply surviving the first strike was already a victory; prolonged combat was pure fantasy. If the enemy withstood the initial assault, the team’s nightmare began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strike with full force and kill instantly?” Li Yi said immediately: “Understood. I’ll remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian beside him nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their strength surpassed Jiang Yue, Long Jie, and Zheng Duoduo, as newcomers, they should listen to veterans’ advice—this concerned their lives, not to be taken lightly. Seeing their attitude, Jiang Yue relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they listened to counsel, he had nothing to fear. He feared only those with strength but arrogance—such people were a team’s nightmare on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While chatting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The council hall filled with more people, when suddenly three extraordinarily powerful auras appeared within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three auras weighed like Mount Tai, crushing the air, making it hard to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi, sensing them, was stunned and immediately turned toward their source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits strode in, faces stern, steps steady and grounded, their presence as deep and ominous as an abyss, inspiring awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strong,” Li Yi narrowed his eyes, studying the three men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed faintly that their auras were fused with the entire world behind them—as if they bore ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, blessed with immense destiny. Destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their power didn’t come from themselves, but from destiny’s augmentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the divine power granted by incense worship in the Incense-to-God world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the three top defenders of Earth’s frontline,” Jiang Yue whispered. “They are Wang Chengjun, Li Weiguo, Zhang Xinghua. Their strength is immense—combined, they can fight a Demon King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is that possible?” Ye Jingtian was stunned. “Earth’s spiritual energy has only just revived—how could they be this strong?” He thought Li Yi’s power was already absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even the most talented evolutionist needed time to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the spiritual energy revival, to the Heaven’s Collapse, to now—barely a dozen years. Without cross-world advantages and dual cultivation, evolutionists today couldn’t even defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They cultivate Destiny Law—drawing strength from national destiny. Their combat power is unmatched. As long as the land and rivers endure, and millions of evolutionists remain, they will continuously gain power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a voice suddenly spoke—He Zhiming stood nearby, arms crossed, watching the three top warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destiny Law?” Li Yi’s eyes flickered. “There’s such a cultivation method?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Zhiming said: “Of course. This method is top secret—never leaked a single detail. Had it not been for the joint invasion by two great realms, those who cultivate Destiny Law would never have shown themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are Earth’s final cornerstone and defense line—elite warriors nurtured by the entire nation’s strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unbelievable,” Ye Jingtian said, astonished. “The authorities have been hiding this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s gaze shifted: “National destiny is finite. Destiny Law cultivators must be few in number. Logically, the more concentrated the destiny, the stronger the cultivator. These three probably aren’t even the strongest in the country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deduced this based on Incense Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destiny and incense should be similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Zhiming raised a finger. “Don’t speculate. Even though everyone here is allied, discussing Destiny Law is forbidden. I’ve told you all I can. Even if you have suspicions, never reveal them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’m tight-lipped,” Li Yi said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was deeply curious about this cultivation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could obtain it, he could become emperor across the Four Seas and Eight Continents, gathering their national destinies—his power would be unimaginable. Not just the Four Seas and Eight Continents—he could also collect national destiny from the End-Dharma cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father, as the Divine Martial Emperor of the Incense-to-God world, could also cultivate Evolution Law, Incense Law, and this Destiny Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this method carried endless dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it spread, everyone would want to become emperor—cross-world evolutionists would plunge the world into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this method was a secret, buried so deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Pandora’s Box—absolutely must not be opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Earth’s current situation desperately needed Destiny Law cultivators to strengthen its defenses. So the authorities would secretly assign some to cultivate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So these are the top warriors who rival Demon Kings?” Li Yi inhaled slowly, calming himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if he could survive even one strike from a Demon King-level warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of these three top warriors, the hall gradually fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another man, around fifty, appeared in the hall, accompanied by several others. One of them Li Yi recognized—Xiao Jianguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow warriors, I’m Zhao Yongshan, overall commander of Earth’s frontline,” the middle-aged man said, his expression grave.\u003C\u002Fp>",1601,"2026-06-20T01:27:07.233Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","760ed0afc80cfc09973204776a3e9a3adba1cb4377e224cbf32c2bd6fb9ab1a3","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-791","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-789",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg",{"terms":24,"userReplacements":180},[25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110,115,120,125,130,135,140,145,150,155,160,165,170,175],{"id":26,"raw_term":27,"original_term":28,"translations":29},1803422,"Li Yi","李易",[],{"id":31,"raw_term":32,"original_term":33,"translations":34},1803423,"Zhao Xiaoxiao","趙曉曉",[],{"id":36,"raw_term":37,"original_term":38,"translations":39},1803424,"Wu Zhen","吳振",[],{"id":41,"raw_term":42,"original_term":43,"translations":44},1803425,"Zhang Gao","張高",[],{"id":46,"raw_term":47,"original_term":48,"translations":49},1803426,"Xiang Xiangzi","香湘子",[],{"id":51,"raw_term":52,"original_term":53,"translations":54},1803427,"Xuan Yuezi","玄月子",[],{"id":56,"raw_term":57,"original_term":58,"translations":59},1803428,"Bald Daoist","禿道人",[],{"id":61,"raw_term":62,"original_term":63,"translations":64},1803429,"Taiyi","太易",[],{"id":66,"raw_term":67,"original_term":68,"translations":69},1803430,"Yun Feizi","雲妃子",[],{"id":71,"raw_term":72,"original_term":73,"translations":74},1803431,"Du Baizhi","杜白芷",[],{"id":76,"raw_term":77,"original_term":78,"translations":79},1803432,"Wu Zuohua","武左華",[],{"id":81,"raw_term":82,"original_term":83,"translations":84},1803433,"Zhou Yu","周煜",[],{"id":86,"raw_term":87,"original_term":88,"translations":89},1803434,"Cang'erzi","蒼耳子",[],{"id":91,"raw_term":92,"original_term":93,"translations":94},1803435,"Li Chengyu","李成玉",[],{"id":96,"raw_term":97,"original_term":98,"translations":99},1803436,"Tai Xianweng","太仙翁",[],{"id":101,"raw_term":102,"original_term":103,"translations":104},1803437,"Old Daoist Wu","吳老道",[],{"id":106,"raw_term":107,"original_term":108,"translations":109},1803438,"Sun Boxiu","孫伯修",[],{"id":111,"raw_term":112,"original_term":113,"translations":114},1803439,"Tianjiang Zi","天江子",[],{"id":116,"raw_term":117,"original_term":118,"translations":119},1803440,"Sun Fei","孫飛",[],{"id":121,"raw_term":122,"original_term":123,"translations":124},1803441,"You Nu","憂女",[],{"id":126,"raw_term":127,"original_term":128,"translations":129},1803442,"Bai You","白幽",[],{"id":131,"raw_term":132,"original_term":133,"translations":134},1803443,"Liu Ming","劉明",[],{"id":136,"raw_term":137,"original_term":138,"translations":139},1803444,"Yang Wei","楊偉",[],{"id":141,"raw_term":142,"original_term":143,"translations":144},1803445,"Ning Wu","寧舞",[],{"id":146,"raw_term":147,"original_term":148,"translations":149},1803446,"Haili","海力",[],{"id":151,"raw_term":152,"original_term":153,"translations":154},1803447,"Meiling","梅玲",[],{"id":156,"raw_term":157,"original_term":158,"translations":159},1803448,"Shan Yi","善翼",[],{"id":161,"raw_term":162,"original_term":163,"translations":164},1803449,"Golden Feather Demon King","金羽妖王",[],{"id":166,"raw_term":167,"original_term":168,"translations":169},1803450,"Wang Chengjun","王成軍",[],{"id":171,"raw_term":172,"original_term":173,"translations":174},1803451,"Li Weiguo","李衛國",[],{"id":176,"raw_term":177,"original_term":178,"translations":179},1803452,"Miao Huizi","妙慧子",[],{}]
