Later, after growing stronger, he successfully killed the mother spider, Alice, during a Bureau investigation mission, eradicating the species entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected to encounter the same monsters again, years later, in this World 17.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems World 17 is the birthplace of the spider monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The survivors in this world are all ordinary people—not even Evolved Ones. These spider monsters can’t even be handled by those who’ve opened their spiritual medium, let alone them. No wonder this world became a wasteland. With monsters like these, humanity’s extinction is only a matter of time.” Li Yi thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had fought these spider monsters before and knew they weren’t just powerful—they were terrifying in their reproductive capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With sufficient food, they could multiply like ants, their numbers staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you all alright?” Li Yi now spoke slowly to the woman on the truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he talking to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Qiu’s head felt foggy; she still couldn’t fully process what had happened. After gathering her wits, she swallowed hard and said, “I—I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a terrible world. Where do you live? Need a ride?” Li Yi waved his hand, and the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sci-fi-style warship appeared in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an Immortal Dao warship he’d brought from Earth’s frontline. Though useless against Earth’s strongest foes, in this wasteland, it could rule unchecked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the warship—as if stepped straight from a sci-fi world—not only Huang Qiu but also Captain Du Peng, who had just crawled out of the truck bed, were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do gods play with technology?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But roughly ten minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Du Peng still led his three remaining teammates, burdened with junk, walking cautiously and nervously into the Immortal Dao warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their vehicle was destroyed; returning on foot was nearly impossible. Better to take a risk and try communicating with this man—after all, they had nothing to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had a sci-fi warship—surely he wasn’t after their kidneys?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong Ji, take them to bathe first, then come find me.” Li Yi entered the warship and spoke directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sweet voice echoed, and Hong Ji’s holographic projection appeared within the warship—a beautiful, graceful woman with a smile, guiding the four survivors toward the living quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Artificial intelligence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Du Peng was astonished, but then remembered—he was inside a sci-fi warship. Everything made sense now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me,” Hong Ji smiled, leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors exchanged glances, then followed Hong Ji to the living quarters, each assigned a private bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clean, warm water cascaded over them, giving them a sense of having stepped out of another lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though water wasn’t scarce in this world, survivors had no luxury of bathing—most sources were controlled by monsters, and clean water was hard to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bathing, each was given a garment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they touched it, the fabric instantly melted and spread over their skin, forming a snug, breathable, warm suit—its material unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they stepped out, they all saw shock in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve encountered something extraordinary,” Captain Du Peng breathed deeply. “This warship’s technology is far beyond anything our world can produce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just the warship—this man is divine. I think he’s a god,” Huang Qiu whispered. “He killed those monsters earlier.” “Regardless, since we’ve been invited, we must cooperate with this mysterious visitor. Don’t offend him. Don’t anger him,” Du Peng said seriously. “This might be our survival squad’s turning point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all these questions swirling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the four quickly followed Hong Ji to the bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi sat in the captain’s seat, commanding the Immortal Dao warship to ascend into the sky and activate its stealth mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding scenery projected onto the bridge, making it feel as if they sat suspended high above the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start with introductions,” Li Yi turned, his gaze calm as he looked at the four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Du Peng, captain of this survival squad,” Du Peng said at once, taking a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Huang Qiu, the squad’s driver—I also handle machine repairs,” a woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Liu Gao, the squad’s fighter—I also gather supplies,” said a lean but rugged-looking man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Xu Li, a gunner and sniper—I also help gather supplies,” said the final woman, around thirty, her lips tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded slightly. “Solid squad composition. Too bad the spider monsters you face are too strong. Against such creatures, your survival odds are near zero—unless you enter cultivation, or your technology advances to this warship’s level. Otherwise, you stand no chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I’m Li Yi. Some call me Tai Yi, True Person Tai Yi, Master Yi. As you’ve guessed, I’m not from this world. I’ve just crossed over—using your terms, I opened a spatial gate and arrived here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These few sentences carried immense information, overwhelming the wasteland survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it—I’ll ask you instead,” Li Yi said, seeing their silence. “How did this world become like this? What are these monsters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Du Peng, previously silent, clenched his teeth. “They’re biological weapons developed by Angel BioTech. For some reason, they went rogue. These monsters turned the world into a wasteland—not just in cities, but in water, in the sky. Many have been eaten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Biological weapons?” Li Yi asked. “Your world’s tech isn’t that weak—couldn’t conventional weapons eliminate them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They reproduce too fast. We tried clearing them several times—all failed,” Du Peng said. “Unless you destroy the entire world, you can never wipe them out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you kill the mother, another mother emerges from the survivors. All other life has been devoured. The few humans left hide in old fortresses and bases, barely clinging to life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Peng kept talking, unable to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi now understood the world’s cruelty and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire world was overrun by these monsters. Even nuclear bombardment couldn’t eradicate them—it would kill humanity first. And this world had no cultivation system, not even gene serums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans, armed with conventional weapons, couldn’t stand against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only mercy: these monsters preferred darkness, avoided sunlight. They hid underground or in ruins during the day—otherwise, survivors would’ve been wiped out long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t fear sunlight—they could still kill in daylight if provoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, their threat only extended to ordinary people and beginners in cultivation. To a powerhouse like Li Yi, they were insects—swatted away with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Yi was perfectly safe here. These monsters posed no threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was precisely why Zhao Yongshan had sent him to cross over here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could eliminate all these monsters and rebuild, this world would make an excellent fallback for Earth’s Evolved Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b521b9d923872e4515a966784ec286b220643d176de371ea4a107d1523b78328","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-808","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-806",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
