After the immortal dao warship arrived above the Earth defense line, Li Yi discovered that the situation here was far worse than he had imagined.

That familiar Great Black Wall had been shattered in some war, leaving only a few broken walls and ruins. Within the defense line, everything was devastated; there was almost no building left intact.

The buildings he was once familiar with had all been destroyed, to the point where there was no need for reconstruction.

Only a newly built command building stood on the land.

As for the evolvers who had come to support the Earth defense line, they just casually found a piece of wasteland to sit down and rest. Moreover, most of the evolvers within the Earth defense line were wounded. Although their numbers were much higher than before, there were many unfamiliar faces.

"Supporters?"

The evolvers saw the arrival of the immortal dao warship, and a glimmer of light appeared in their somewhat numb eyes, but they soon lowered their heads again.

To them, new supporters would soon become ghosts on the battlefield, unable to survive for long.

At this moment, Li Yi walked out of the immortal dao warship. He stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across this area that looked like a wasteland. Although he had not participated in the subsequent wars, he could imagine that because the war had escalated, casualties on the Earth defense line had increased, and the situation was even more tragic than before.

Just as he was surveying the surroundings.

Suddenly.

A familiar voice came: "Li Yi, you've finally returned. That's great."

Li Yi immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a man sitting on a broken stone in the distance. The man was disheveled, looking weathered, wearing a set of red gold treasure armor that was covered in cracks and stained with mottled blood. In front of this man stood a purple treasure sword.

"Ye Ye Jingtian." Li Yi flew over, descended from the sky, and looked at the man before him with some surprise.

He remembered that when Ye Ye Jingtian first came to the Earth defense line, he was wearing red gold treasure armor and holding purple-green twin swords, looking quite high-spirited. Yet, after not seeing him for a period of time, he was so haggard.

Ye Ye Jingtian nodded slightly and said: "You've come at just the right time. The Earth defense line is in urgent need of top-tier experts to stabilize this precarious situation. Otherwise, in the next war, the Earth defense line will likely be completely wiped out."

"Is it because the evil gods of the dark world have entered the fray?" Li Yi's gaze flickered as he asked seriously.

Ye Ye Jingtian said: "Not entirely. The appearance of the dark evil gods actually shared some of our pressure. Those evil gods have not allied with the Profound Immortal Continent or the Demon God Realm; they kill everyone, especially liking to bewitch the great demons of the Demon God Realm, making them fall and become new evil gods."

"The real reason for the current collapse of the situation is the escalation of the war. Previously, the number of people in a battle was controlled at around a few dozen, but now the number of people in a war starts at three hundred."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately said: "This means the other side is starting to throw everything they have into it. When did this situation start? Was it after that time I escaped by crossing dimensions?"

"That's right. In that war, because of you, the experts from both the Demon God Realm and the Profound Immortal Continent were wiped out. So they chose to escalate the war, wanting to crush the Earth defense line as quickly as possible, all because they were worried that more experts like you would emerge."

Ye Ye Jingtian nodded slightly: "Not only that, those Mahayana stage immortal cultivators have even brought immortal artifacts into the fray. On the Demon God Realm side, there are also great demons holding Tianyue Yao Wang weapons. Relying on these means, the other side has once again dominated the war. Originally, the Earth defense line was already about to lose, but fortunately, the evil gods of the dark world entered the fray to stir things up, which shared a lot of the pressure. However, even so, the Earth defense line still cannot afford to keep consuming its resources."

"Now, Zhao Zhao Yongshan, the person in charge of the Earth defense line, has already prepared to evacuate Earth by crossing dimensions. The base commanders of the ten survival bases have all received relevant orders."

He then revealed some classified information.

"However, although there is a pile of bad news, there is still some good news. According to rumors from the Profound Immortal Continent, the Heavenly Moon Tianyue Yao Wang died inexplicably because he was chasing you?"

Li Yi said: "That is indeed the case."

Ye Ye Jingtian smiled: "The death of a Tianyue Yao Wang has made the Demon God Realm side apprehensive. At the very least, the remaining two Demon Kings have not easily entered the fray again, fearing that they might invite disaster and bring trouble upon themselves. Furthermore, it is said that the True Immortals of the Profound Immortal Continent have also temporarily abandoned the idea of crossing dimensions."

"It is because these top-tier powerhouses have not entered the fray that the Earth defense line has been able to hold on until now."

"It seems the death of the Heavenly Moon Tianyue Yao Wang has indeed had some positive influence. However, I have come this time with the intention of completely reversing this terrible situation and driving the Profound Immortal Continent, the Demon God Realm, and the evil gods of the dark world out of Earth," Li Yi suddenly said very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ye Jingtian's smile gradually faded, and then his expression became serious: "Li Yi, how much confidence do you have?"

"Seven or eight out of ten," Li Yi said: "I have brought a batch of reinforcements, but there are only forty-some people."

"That might not be enough," Ye Ye Jingtian said: "Because the war has escalated, the number of experts on the other side has also increased. In terms of foundation, Earth is still far behind."

Li Yi said: "Aren't there some experts within the Earth defense line? If we add them, I think it should be enough."

"You want to take a gamble?" Ye Ye Jingtian's expression shifted.

Li Yi said: "It's better than being cut by a dull knife and dying a slow death, right? If we continue to play along with those people, the experts on Earth will all be wiped out. It's better to burn our bridges and fight. You must have experienced many battles; you know the situation better than I do."

"This matter requires Zhao Zhao Yongshan's consent; you need to talk to him," Ye Ye Jingtian said: "However, if you really want to do this, I can contact some other comrades to support you." He did not ask for the reason, because with Li Yi's strength and understanding, since he wanted to do it, and the success rate was not small, he was willing to take a gamble.

In any case, there was no hope to be seen if they continued to drag it out.

If they burned their bridges and lost, the worst that could happen was they would cross dimensions and run away; in any case, this was already in the plan.

"Good, then you help me contact the others, and I will go find Zhao Zhao Yongshan and try my best to convince him," Li Yi said.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ye Jingtian stood up immediately. He pulled out the purple treasure sword that was standing before him and then said: "Li Yi, it doesn't matter if you can't convince Zhao Zhao Yongshan; at worst, we'll do it ourselves. Fighting until now, the only battle that was truly satisfying was the one you participated in. As long as you are willing to stand up, there will definitely be many people who respond. By the way, when do you plan to act?"

"The sooner the better, today," Li Yi said.

"Good." After Ye Ye Jingtian agreed, he immediately began to take action.

Li Yi was also a bit surprised to see him so proactive, but he soon understood. Within the Earth defense line, everyone hid blood and tears in their hearts. It wasn't that they didn't want to take revenge, but that they had never had the opportunity.

Now, Li Yi's arrival had shown them this opportunity, which was why they were so impatient.

After all, Li Yi's strength had been tested on the battlefield and was enough to be convincing.

Although it was a bit childish to decide such a big matter in just a few words, reality was just like that. Moreover, Li Yi had underestimated his own influence, even though he had been away from Earth for a long time.

But Li Yi had performed too well in the last battle, to the point that many people were now desperately hoping that Li Yi could participate in the war again and change the current situation.

Watching Ye Ye Jingtian leave, Li Yi did not hesitate and immediately set off for the command building.

There is no turning back once the arrow is fired; since he had said it, he would do it.

At the same time.

In the conference hall inside the command building.

As the person in charge of the Earth defense line, Zhao Zhao Yongshan was currently analyzing the current situation with other high-level officials, while also discussing the arrangements for the next war.

"I don't think we can continue to draw experts from the ten bases to join the battlefield. Since the scale of the war escalated, it's no longer about competing in strength, but in foundation. If we continue to drag it out, we will be exhausted to death on the battlefield. Since that's the case, we might as well just give up Earth, withdraw from the battlefield, and wait until our strength is strong enough to cross dimensions back and take revenge."

"It's easy to leave, but it will be hard to fight back later. In terms of cultivation resources, Earth is the richest. Other worlds are safe, but each has its drawbacks. Only by guarding Earth can we rise in adversity. Once we flee, it will be hard to turn the tables."

It was Xiao Xiao Jianguo who spoke; he firmly opposed the plan to cross dimensions and flee.

"Xiao Xiao Jianguo, you should be clear about the current situation. The evil gods of the dark world have already entered the fray. The powerhouses from the Martial Saint Continent where Ji Wu is located have also opened the cross-dimensional gate, preparing to station themselves on Earth. And those Totem Masters from the so-called Totem World are also starting to become active on Earth... All parties are invading. The time for Earth's evolvers to rise is too short; we can't stop these enemies."

"We will face whatever comes. As long as we hold off the Profound Immortal Continent and the Demon God Realm, the others won't be a problem. Experts are rising, and powerhouses are returning one after another. Sun Sun Boxiu, the Dean of the Golden Academy, has already dispatched a cross-dimensional team and launched a call-up plan. As far as I know, quite a few people have already responded," Xiao Xiao Jianguo said.

"It's too slow; distant water cannot quench near thirst." Some also shook their heads, indicating that there wasn't much hope.

However, at this moment, Zhao Zhao Yongshan suddenly mentioned: "I just received some good news; Li Yi has crossed dimensions and returned."

"Li Yi's strength is very strong, enough to change the outcome of a battlefield, but in the current situation, it's not something one person can reverse." Several high-level officials shook their heads. Although they affirmed Li Yi's strength and ability, it was limited to that.

However, before the high-level officials could finish speaking.

Suddenly.

Bang!

The door to the conference hall was pushed open, and a familiar man strode in.

Before he even got close, everyone could feel a powerful sense of oppression.

Because behind this person, there were a full forty-plus top-tier experts following him. These experts were not evolvers from Earth, but the aura they revealed invisibly made people feel terrified.

"Zhao Zhao Yongshan, have you been discussing here for a long time just thinking about how to run away? That's too cowardly. I didn't even think about leaving Earth and not coming back when I was being chased by a Tianyue Yao Wang. Since you don't have the confidence to win, why not cooperate with me and make a big scene together? If we're lucky, we can drive all those enemies out of Earth."

As soon as Li Yi walked in, he got straight to the point.

Upon seeing this, everyone paused, and at the same time, they immediately realized that Li Yi had brought a group of very strong reinforcements to help this time. The appearance of this situation made people's eyes light up.

If such a large and powerful force were added inexplicably, perhaps it could really change the current situation.
