I just returned from the Golden Academy; it seems they’re making big moves, but my strength is too low to get more information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Golden Academy? Wasn’t it destroyed?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue said, “It was rebuilt six months ago. I went back too—now the Golden Academy has many more experts, many I don’t even recognize.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded slightly: “I have an idea coming back—I plan to unite some of Earth’s experts to seek revenge for what happened before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interdimensional war?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lingfu, beside him, was stunned: “Isn’t that a bit too soon? The battle on Earth’s frontline only ended last year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t revenge better the sooner the better? Besides, only when Earth’s experts begin attacking other worlds will Earth be safe. Otherwise, given enough time, invasions will resume—and the Tianqing Event isn’t over yet. Who knows what other powerful enemies might appear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi said, “But you don’t need to worry about this—I’ll negotiate with Earth’s high command. Since the Golden Academy has been rebuilt and gathered many experts, I think I should go there to see if I can find like-minded allies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, I’ll go with you to the Golden Academy,” Lin Yue said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Li Yi nodded, not refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the conversation continued, he gained some understanding of Earth’s current situation—it was all improving, yet dangers still lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the Golden Academy had been rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, cultivating experts was an urgent matter; as long as Earth needed experts, the Golden Academy had reason to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone was still deeply concerned about Li Yi’s plan for interdimensional warfare—fearing both the danger he’d face and the risk that launching war so soon might draw them into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they couldn't decide such major matters themselves, nor did they have the strength to join such a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi saw through their thoughts and said, “Don’t worry about interdimensional warfare—I won’t act unless I have full confidence. By the way, let’s drop this topic for now. I brought you all a gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took out the Crimson Gold Divine Sword and Crimson Gold Battle Armor from his Five Elements Bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though your current strength isn’t enough to wield such Crimson Gold Dao artifacts, I thought giving them to you early might boost your power and offer more protection. Don’t be polite—each of you gets one set.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He generously gifted the Crimson Gold Dao artifacts to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned, for the energy aura radiating from the Crimson Gold artifacts was terrifying—should their power activate, they’d instantly be reduced to ash. Such weapons were truly beyond their control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, take these Crimson Gold artifacts back,” Lin Yue said immediately. “We can’t even make proper use of them. And aren’t you going on interdimensional warfare? You need them more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have plenty. I don’t lack these.” Li Yi smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Wildlands, the Artisan Daoist controlled three Divine Wood Crimson Gold Furnaces, producing Crimson Gold Dao artifacts like mass production—daily output flowed endlessly. He simply hadn’t gone to collect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, everyone reluctantly accepted the two Crimson Gold artifacts, though they knew their strength was insufficient to wield them—yet possessing such divine weapons would surely give them more courage for future endeavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi was so generous because these people had once supported him. Though the Crimson Gold artifacts meant little to him, they were priceless treasures capable of being passed down through generations for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since future meetings would grow rarer, he hoped the Crimson Gold artifacts would help them carve out a better future—so their acquaintance wouldn’t be in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several hours of gathering and conversation, everyone dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Yi went to the Dao Court outside Tianchang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tai Yi,” Yun Feizi bowed respectfully upon seeing Li Yi arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi asked, “Has the Dao Court been uneventful lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All is well,” Yun Feizi said. “Everyone is recruiting disciples and cultivating diligently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. But I’m returning to launch an interdimensional campaign. Later, gather everyone and see if anyone wants to join me.” Li Yi asked. “If they don’t want to, that’s fine—I won’t force anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Feizi paused: “Interdimensional warfare? Tai Yi, which world do you plan to strike first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Demon God Realm is close to Tianchang City—I plan to strike it first. And after taking it, all Dao experts will have a prime location to expand their sects, won’t they?” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Tai Yi has this idea, I will give it my full effort. I believe the other Daoists will agree,” Yun Feizi said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conquering the Demon God Realm, replacing its inhabitants—perhaps it could become a new Dao world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Dao experts would gladly risk it for a better future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If they agree, have them prepare in advance. I still need to visit the Golden Academy to see if their experts are willing to join me—after all, invading a realm, the more people, the better,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Feizi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll notify you when the operation begins. That’s all for now,” Li Yi said, then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he prepared to return to the building, he noticed a place along the river in Tianchang City—radiant treasure light, spiritual energy surging into the heavens, veiled in mist, like the abode of a divine statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That place is…” Li Yi thought for a moment, then quickly remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Yang Wei’s residence—no, his Dao hall. He wondered why Yang Wei had so firmly established his Dao hall here—was he carrying some command or directive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Wei was always busy saving the world and rarely present; Li Yi had no intention of visiting him, given the complexity and uniqueness tied to World #36.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staying in Tianchang City for several days and handling some minor matters, five days later, Li Yi and Lin Yue boarded an Immortal Warship and departed for the Golden Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new Golden Academy stood on its original site, built even more grandly—with many floating structures in the sky, each a student’s personal magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, a grand array surrounded the Golden Academy, its technique bearing the marks of both cultivators and Daoists—likely with the Artisan Daoist’s contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, many powerful auras have appeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from within the Immortal Warship, Li Yi sensed the presence of powerful figures—most likely not Earth natives, but interdimensional experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their strength still paled compared to his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of a god from the Wildlands still held sway—anywhere, they could dominate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Identity confirmed. Student Li Yi, Lin Yue. Welcome back to the Golden Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After AI verification, Li Yi’s Immortal Warship successfully crossed the array and entered the Golden Academy’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike its exterior, the interior was a hidden world—like being inside another small realm, rich with cosmic energy, purified of celestial pollution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rebuilding the Golden Academy within a small realm—the leadership has truly invested heavily,” Li Yi squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed not only he had encountered wonders—the leadership was no ordinary force. With so many interdimensional coordinates under control, given time to develop them, their gains far surpassed those of a rogue interdimensional traveler like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing Earth lacked was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a single year of peace could bring earth-shattering change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi and Lin Yue stepped out of the Immortal Warship. He took a deep breath; spiritual energy gathered around him. But when he exhaled, a terrifying sound of wind and thunder roared across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Lin Yue widened her eyes in utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To exhale a single breath and produce such power—how immensely strong had Li Yi become?\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","86382ce86a30a13d18449ee1cc154f8647b1987e2731ead61fc2e9877306b868","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-916","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-914",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
