But I died long ago; my lingering will drifted through this valley, now angry, now sorrowful, now repentant—until this strange fruit tree gathered my residual consciousness, and I awoke.” The face on the trunk said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi silently thought: Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Apple Tree had absorbed too much divine power, awakening the deity’s lingering consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face on the trunk continued: “In these countless years of my drifting awareness, I never sensed a bloodline descendant come here. I thought my lineage had perished—yet here you are today, child. Tell me your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Da Yi,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Yi? Good child—I can feel the strength of your divine blood; it is potent enough to pass this power to your offspring.” The face on the trunk spoke warmly, clearly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in its eyes, Li Yi was its only bloodline descendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your arrival here must be guided by bloodline. Yet alas, your ancestor no longer stands in glory—only this lingering consciousness remains, bound within this tree, unable to aid you much. The only gift I can offer is this fruit, infused with my divine power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face on the trunk suddenly looked upward, then shook its body, trembling the trunk—whereupon the silver apple fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Yi did not hesitate and immediately stored the silver apple inside his Five Elements Bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, ancestor, for this gift,” he said with reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the deity’s will had not been corrupted by the demon god; from their conversation, it was clear the consciousness was rational and deeply fond of Li Yi as its bloodline descendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Protecting descendants is the duty of every ancestor. Though you are already exceptional, you have not yet become a sovereign deity. When you truly ascend to that realm, return here and claim your ancestor’s weapon—it lies buried with my remains in this valley. I hope one day it will see daylight again, standing beside you in battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face on the trunk sighed again, revealing a startling piece of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine weapon, once wielded by a deity, was buried here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi was startled—he had not expected such fortune. Curiosity stirred: what kind of divine weapon required him to become a sovereign deity before he could wield it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the deceased deity had been extraordinarily powerful—being a sovereign deity was merely the threshold to even use its weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor, rest assured—when I become a sovereign deity, I will establish a divine bloodline family and restore the glory of our bloodline,” Li Yi said without hesitation, boldly claiming this ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his body truly carried this deity’s blood, and he had received the transmission of divine arts—this was an irrevocable fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good child, I believe you will accomplish it,” the face on the trunk smiled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Li Yi had no intention of staying to keep the tree company. “Ancestor, I cannot remain here—I must depart for battle. When I pass this way again, I will return to pay my respects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go. As a divine blood warrior, show your enemies your strength. Do not fear defeat—your ancestor’s power will protect you,” the face on the trunk said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded, said no more, and rose to leave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he departed the deity’s valley and returned to the Immortal Warship, Xiang Xiangzi could not help asking: “Da Yi, are you alright? What exactly is that tree in the valley? I sensed it possesses unimaginable, terrifying power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The will of a deity, aided by the Golden Apple Tree of the Dark World, has been revived and mutated,\" Li Yi said. \"This deity is my bloodline ancestor. You, Immortal Xiang, are already at Great Perfection—did you also sense danger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiangzi nodded slightly: “The entire valley is shrouded in terrifying power. Though invisible, if I forced my way in, it would overturn heaven and earth. No wonder the Sword Immortal of the Xuan Immortal Continent never plucked that fruit—he feared this power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi was surprised—the tree still retained such immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But do not worry—I share blood with that deity; it would not harm me. Our business here is done. Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Warship activated, crossing between worlds, and arrived on Earth without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong Ji, head to Base Eight,” Li Yi said. He still needed to gather more cultivation experts—these dozen or so were not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Warship immediately flew toward Base Eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Hong Ji had alerted Base Eight in advance, the warship’s arrival caused no alarm; the base’s evolvers recognized the sci-fi vessel and knew it was friendly, not hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Earth’s enemies could not pilot warships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi immediately attempted to contact the cultivation experts within Base Eight. Soon, a cultivator named Bai He Dao Ren hurried over—he had restored his cultivation and was now a First Bloom Realm expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Daoist bows to Da Yi,” Bai He True Person said respectfully. Then, seeing Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, and Yun Feizi beside him, he quickly bowed again—after all, in the End Dharma world, the Immortal Maidens of Tian Dao Sect were of exalted status, far beyond what minor sects like his could match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, I need to gather all the experts who crossed over from the other world. Please help me contact them,” Li Yi said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Yi, rest assured—I’ll contact them now,” Bai He True Person immediately pulled out a smartphone and sent messages to everyone, instructing them to assemble at the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the messages were sent, cultivation experts within the base gradually arrived, and some masters flew in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly an hour, the more than twenty cultivation experts had all gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elders, please gather inside the warship,” Li Yi invited them all aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their arrival, save for Fei Yunzi from the Incense World and scattered figures like Wu Laodao, Tu Daochang, Liu Guzi, and Cang Erzi on Earth, nearly all the experts who had once gathered in the End Dharma cultivation world were now assembled here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals greeted each other warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, all had restored their cultivation—they were no longer what they once were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi entered a conference room aboard the warship, waved his hand, and clouds of auspicious energy coalesced into floating cushions, signaling them to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without preamble, he said: “I have summoned you all here for one purpose: to enlist your strength to reclaim our homeland and expel our enemies. If you are willing to aid me, I will gift each of you two Chi-Jin Dao Artifacts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then produced over a hundred assorted Chi-Jin Dao Artifacts, leaving them open for the twenty-plus experts to choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if any of you refuse, I will not force you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi did not press them—he gave them room to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet these twenty-plus cultivation experts were shrewd—they were centuries-old veterans who understood that when Li Yi brought them across worlds and restored their power, he had expected their loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he offered two Chi-Jin Dao Artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To refuse would be ingratitude—so blatant they’d deserve death for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, without hesitation, the twenty-plus experts pledged their allegiance to Li Yi and readily accepted the two Chi-Jin Dao Artifacts each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, two Chi-Jin Dao Artifacts were worth enough in the cultivation world to make a Three Bloom expert sell his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent. Rest for half an hour—then we depart for Earth’s Defense Line,” Li Yi said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, they all bowed and dispersed—they had stayed at Base Eight long enough and had personal matters to attend to; Li Yi’s arrangement was considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour passed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivation experts, having packed their belongings, gathered again aboard the Immortal Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Li Yi learned about Base Eight’s situation—he discovered nearly all its top experts had been deployed to Earth’s Defense Line; Su Mu, Li Yugang, and others were no longer there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cultivators had not been conscripted because they were not Earth’s native evolvers—Earth’s Defense Line’s orders did not apply to them. Moreover, their presence benefited the base, ensuring its security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Earth’s Defense Line is in dire straits,” Li Yi thought. He had a premonition—the battle there had escalated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the full truth would only be clear once he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong Ji, depart for Earth’s Defense Line,” he took a deep breath and gave the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earth’s Defense Line?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name, Bai He Dao Ren and the others grew solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had stayed at Base Eight long enough to know exactly what that place was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemies from all great realms converged there—constant warfare, even Immortals perished—all to crush Earth’s evolvers and seize this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now that their power was restored and they each carried two Chi-Jin Dao Artifacts, they were not afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-plus experts on the move—such strength could crush an entire great realm. They refused to believe any force could stand against this warship, especially with a Great Perfection among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they appeared on Earth’s Defense Line, they would be a tiger—and the enemy would be the ones who should fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1584,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","db5d32e8d678160bb96174ed2402d33c7451ecb9ccbf2db0a373e3670dc8123c","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-845","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-843",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
