Chapter 819

When Li Yi displayed extraordinary power capable of destroying a city, no one dared to ignore his existence, and his importance was infinitely elevated—all within just two hours.

Many important personnel gathered in this building in various ways.

They all saw that great crack stretching north to south. At this moment, because of the emergence of groundwater, this crack had turned into a large river, and after calculation, it spanned a total of 135 kilometers.

Dividing the land into a river; the words were indeed true.

And those who saw this scene were all shocked by this earth-shattering sight.

Afterward, the same thought popped into their minds: this was definitely not something a human could do; this was the great power belonging to a god.

And before these important personnel arrived, analysis regarding Tai Yi's existence had already begun.

From the other party's words and actions to the information revealed.

Finally, a conclusion was reached: the other party was indeed from another world. Whether he was a god, they didn't know, but he was at least a living being possessing power comparable to a god. As for why he was called a living being.

It was because although Li Yi looked similar to them and spoke the same language, this might not be a disguise; what he truly looked like, no one knew.

And while the high-level officials of this world were being alarmed.

At this moment.

Inside the building, in a spacious conference hall, Li Yi sat on a pure white auspicious cloud, supporting his head, listening to Zhang Yan explain the matters regarding the living and the dead.

Zhang Yan said very seriously: "If the living in our world die, they become invisible dead people who continue to live in this world, but their existence and behavioral patterns are completely different from when they were alive. For example, a colleague of mine died in an accident; after he became a dead person, he continued to linger in the place where he lived before he died."

"If the living people living nearby accidentally break some boundary and are entangled by the dead, then the living person will soon be killed by the dead, even if the person being targeted is the closest person to my colleague."

"So the dead have no emotions. They are no longer your relatives, but invisible monsters. Some people also call them ghosts."

"Of course, we also have our own set of methods for dealing with the dead. After ordinary people die, their bodies are immediately cremated in special places. The reason for choosing special places is that after the designated burning of the bodies, the probability of the dead appearing in the world is extremely low. There are three cremation grounds in Huaimu City, and the oldest one has a history of five hundred years."

"A world where the living and the dead coexist?" Li Yi's gaze flickered: "But even so, the dead in this world will become more and more numerous, eventually completely crowding out the living space of the living, until finally... extinction."

"Even a small war is enough to make the number of the dead suddenly exceed the living."

"I am sorry, our world has had no wars since ancient times. If there were any, the only war is the war between the living and the dead," Zhang Yan said: "If you don't believe me, I can bring our world's history books."

"No need, I don't really like reading books, especially history books. That stuff is basically made up; its credibility is comparable to the gossip of old ladies at the village entrance," Li Yi waved his hand: "A world without war is indeed very surprising to me, unlike my world, with five thousand years of history and five thousand years of war. I don't know how many people have died, but the only fortunate thing is that they don't turn into ghosts after they die."

Zhang Yan and the director Wang Jianming beside him couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this.

They didn't expect this person named Tai Yi to come from such a crazy world, where people had been killing each other for five thousand years.

"This, this is not very likely, is it? If everyone had extraordinary power like yours, then after five thousand years of war, would the world still exist?" Wang Jianming couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Li Yi laughed: "This is not extraordinary power; it is cultivation, power gained from cultivation. However, my world is indeed on the verge of collapse, but that is not something you should be concerned about. But if the problem of that building is not solved, perhaps the flames of war will also spread to you here."

"So you must work hard and do something. After all, you wouldn't want this place to become a world where the dead run rampant and the living are extinct."

The two men's expressions changed suddenly, and their whole bodies couldn't help but tremble.

If someone possessed power like Tai Yi and a great war broke out here, it would only take one day for this world to be finished.

Realizing this, Wang Jianming made up his mind to blow up that building no matter what, even if the dead lived there; it was just a matter of paying a little more price.

But compared to the safety of this world, it was not worth mentioning at all.

"Forget it, this topic is too heavy for you. Let's talk about the dead. Even if there are special places to cremate bodies, there are still many accidents and deaths from illness. If they become dead people, how do you deal with them?" Li Yi asked.

Zhang Yan said: "Currently, there are two methods. One is to communicate and guide through the living dead, leading the dead into the cremation grounds, and the dead who enter the cremation grounds will disappear from this world. This method is called 'Pathfinding' in our world."

"There is another method, which is to kill the dead again, but normal methods don't work; only the living dead can do it. But the cost is high, because the dead do not exist in the world of the living and cannot be seen, and killing a dead person is extremely difficult. Unless it is a last resort, we will not let the living dead deal with a dead person."

"Can they be killed?" Li Yi nodded slightly: "That's good. As long as they can be killed, the threat level is not high, unlike the ghosts in a certain world that simply cannot be killed. Tell me about the living dead. In your world, the living dead seem to be the only people who possess some extraordinary abilities."

However, at this moment.

The door of the conference room opened, and a voice full of vigor rang out: "The living dead are people who have returned from the dead. People who drowned and were rescued, people who suddenly died of cardiac arrest and came back to life—these people who have walked on the edge of death have a certain probability of becoming living dead."

"They can perceive the dead, communicate with wandering souls, and become pathfinders; they are indispensable existences for maintaining the stability of this world. Every living dead person has a very high status, but they also have flaws. Because they have died once, they become eccentric in temperament, sometimes crazy, and even extremely cruel..."

Li Yi glanced at this person.

Needless to say, a leader with enough weight had arrived.

"Hello, Tai Yi from another world. My name is Zhao Hongjie, and I am one of the leaders of this country. You can make any requests to me, and as long as it is within our power, we will not refuse. I only hope that we can coexist peacefully and not let unpleasantness arise because of small matters and misunderstandings." This middle-aged man named Zhao Hongjie was very calm in the face of Li Yi.

Clearly, he possessed great psychological quality. Of course, before coming, he had also prepared all the psychological contingency plans.

And upon his appearance, Zhang Yan and Director Wang Jianming hurriedly saluted.

"Good, finally a person who can make decisions has come. There is a building in the previously sealed area; you should already know about it. That building affects space and connects the two worlds. Destroying it is a good thing for your world and a good thing for me too."

Li Yi said.

"Good, give us three days. I will do my best to deal with the dead there, then blow up those buildings, and guarantee that from now on, there will be no buildings there," Zhao Hongjie said decisively.

As he finished speaking.

Two people immediately walked out from behind him.

Clearly, this was to take action immediately.

Although fighting the dead would result in many casualties, if the power of a country was determined to eradicate that hidden danger, it could still be done. After all, this matter concerned the safety of the entire world.

"Agreeing to this matter so readily has saved me a lot of trouble," Li Yi said: "And as I said before, if you can do this, I can give you enough benefits, so don't be polite; just consider it the reward I am giving you."

"Tell me, what do you need?"

Zhao Hongjie said: "We don't need anything. If possible, I would like to cooperate with you to study how to deal with the dead, preferably to effectively master the means to kill the dead."

He felt that this person who mastered great power might be an opportunity to change the landscape of this world.

"Your ideal is great; you want to completely end the war between the living and the dead? But it is a pity that I have tried to deal with the dead, but I failed. The differences between the two worlds and the different power systems mean the results are not satisfactory. To put it in terms that are easier to understand in your world, my power is used to deal with the living, not the dead."

Li Yi said this and added: "Moreover, your world has too little cosmic energy, and your bodies have already degenerated; it is simply not suitable for cultivation, and you cannot walk the path of cultivation."

"Cosmic energy, cultivation—can you explain them in detail?" Zhao Hongjie said seriously.

Behind him, someone immediately began to be responsible for recording, audio recording, and video recording, documenting such a scene.

"Cosmic energy is easy to understand; it is a special energy that exists in the universe, and not every world possesses it..." Li Yi pointed his finger, and a map of the starry universe immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

The star map changed, demonstrating the existence of cosmic energy.

Everyone present was a smart person and immediately understood why this world was not suitable for cultivation: it was because cosmic energy had not visited this world.

"Lacking the nourishment of cosmic energy, the human body will degenerate and become unsuitable for cultivation, just like fish in water are born knowing how to swim; this is created by the environment," Li Yi said.

"So, the people of our world are fish in the desert; because there is no water, we can only give up swimming and evolve into animals," Zhao Hongjie said.

Li Yi said: "Your comprehension is quite good. Evolution is cultivation, and cultivation is letting the human body get rid of the limitations of the species, for example, letting humans possess vertical pupils that only fierce beasts have."

As he spoke, his gaze flickered, his pupils constricted suddenly, and a pair of vertical pupils appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone felt a chill.

At this moment, they felt as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast they had never seen before; their hair stood on end, as if they had become prey, ready to be captured at any moment.

"It can also utilize the energy of the human body to influence matter in reality, and this is magic."

Li Yi, now incarnated as Teacher Li, briefly explained the knowledge of cultivation to the people of this world.
