Are you afraid to attack the Demon God Realm? Are you too cowardly to face those great demons and demon kings and seek revenge? If so, fine—I’ll join this campaign alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s gaze swept over everyone present, then he spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, if we’re attacking the Demon God Realm, count me in. Though those great demons and demon kings are terrifying, some blood-deep grudges must be settled—and we won’t know if we can win until we try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Jing was the first to step forward and declare his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Demon God Realm is indeed an excellent enemy. Li Yi, if you move, I’ll go with you. We must not forget the suffering of the past just because we’ve had over a year of peace. Now is the time to settle accounts with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu, a woman, flew forward at once, her voice clear and unafraid to speak openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also support attacking the Demon God Realm. Li Yi, if you act, I’ll lend my strength.” It was Wu Zuohua, who had missed the Earth’s frontline battles but refused to miss this chance at revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he ever face others again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these few spoke, other elite warriors from the Golden Academy also began voicing their support, willing to join Li Yi—not for any cause, but because each carried a blood debt awaiting repayment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As vice dean, Sun Boxiu immediately realized that if things continued this way, the situation would spiral out of control: Li Yi’s power was too great, his influence too vast; every move he made drew countless eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately said: “Everyone, calm down. Launching a cross-border campaign is no simple matter—it requires careful deliberation. If you all support attacking the Demon God Realm, I’ll have the Golden Academy’s AI activate a registration system: anyone who meets the strength threshold and wishes to fight may sign up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we proceed, we’ll notify you immediately. Cross-border warfare demands extensive preparation—we cannot act recklessly, or failure would be a catastrophic blow to Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this couldn’t be suppressed, so Sun Boxiu hoped only to calm the crowd’s emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Vice Dean Sun, move quickly. Three days—we’ll wait only three days. After that, if the Golden Academy and other high authorities still haven’t decided, we’ll act on our own.” Ye Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, three days. Perfect—we’ll use this time to speak with Li Yi properly.” Sun Boxiu nodded at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vice Dean Sun, don’t let us down. The Demon God Realm and our cultivators share an irreconcilable hatred. Li Yi’s decision to strike first is correct—when else would we seek revenge? Earth needs time to recover, but our enemies won’t quietly watch us grow. War is inevitable. With Li Yi leading, striking first gives us the initiative. I don’t want to wake up one day to find powerful forces from multiple realms uniting to invade Earth—that’s when we’ll face true annihilation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jing added one final remark, then turned and left without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Li Yi’s decision was final; the cross-border campaign would proceed in three days, so he must prepare and arrange things in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Mu glanced at Li Yi, then left immediately—she too must prepare for the coming war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others understood the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, debating here now was meaningless—better to act first. After cultivating so long, didn’t they have the freedom to choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to fight, whether to seek revenge—each must decide by their own heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Sun Boxiu nor Earth’s high command could bind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the strong warriors of the Golden Academy silently depart one by one, Sun Boxiu understood clearly: the cross-border war had already begun. The tide Li Yi had stirred could not be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vice Dean Sun, if you’re going to the Demon God Realm, remember to take this old man along. I’ve long wished to use a great war to explore the path ahead.” Wu Tianji, witnessing this, felt his warrior blood stir once more—he quickly declared his intent, afraid of missing this spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cross-border warfare is no child’s play. Once launched, no one knows how long it will last.” Sun Boxiu said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter. Even if it lasts ten or twenty years, I’ll stand by you. I’ll also summon a group of disciples from the Martial Saint Continent to train in the Demon God Realm—without the trials of blood and fire, how can they become true cultivators?” Wu Tianji smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Boxiu was even more helpless. The martial artists of the Martial Saint Continent were all warlike; they would never miss such a massive cross-border conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this was also a good thing—at least they gained another ally, easing considerable pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Li Yi had no interest in listening to their discussions—he cared only for the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the decision was made, all that remained was preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he ignored everyone and returned directly to the Immortal Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Immortal Warship, space was self-contained, rich with spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Li Yi’s arrival, the great-perfection cultivators who had come from the End-Era Dao World all grew solemn, showing not the slightest disrespect—for Li Yi’s displayed power had won each of them genuine admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of you cultivators, you’ve seen what happened. I brought you across realms because I need your strength.” Li Yi said: “You may learn the Demon God Realm’s situation from the AI Hongji.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But time is short. If all goes well, I’ll act in three days. Nor will I force you—I’ll allow you to establish your own sects and rebuild your Dao lineages in the Demon God Realm after its fall. There, spiritual energy is abundant; it may become a second Dao Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave them no choice: these great-perfection cultivators must fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask, Heavenly Lord, what are the realm divisions and strength levels of the Demon God Realm? We old Daoists need to understand our foe.” Yu Qing Daoist bowed respectfully and inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi said: “I already said—the AI Hongji will answer all your questions. For these next few days, rest well and restore your peak state.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to their origin from the Heavenly Beyond, these great-perfection cultivators had not lost their realms; with abundant spiritual energy, they would soon recover their peak power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving his orders, Li Yi began sending crane-messages: one to Tianchang City, instructing Yun Feizi to prepare; another to the Savage Lands’ Chishan Mountain and Shenzhu City, ordering Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi to gather most of the Dao experts and the Savage Lands’ Divine Blood Warriors for departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined, these experts included nearly two hundred three-petal cultivators, thirty-five great-perfection cultivators, and one Dao-attained master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that the numerous Divine Blood Warriors of Mountain Lord rank, and the total force was already immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his parents still ruled as emperor and empress in the Incense-God World, training the Golden-Eyed Guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards. Though they couldn’t yet join cross-border warfare, given time, they would become a terrifying force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi did not yet wish to use them—these were seeds for future cross-border campaigns, still needing time to sprout and grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As messages spread, Li Yi ceased his busyness and waited patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Golden Academy, Sun Boxiu, Zhao Yongshan, Xiao Jianguo, and numerous high officials held an emergency meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agenda was simple: cross-border warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough debate. Li Yi has already decided. With his influence, even if we oppose his cross-border campaign, it’s useless—he can rally most of Earth’s top cultivators himself. We must think only of how to assist Li Yi in conquering the Demon God Realm.” Xiao Jianguo’s expression was grave and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This outcome, in truth, was not entirely bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least everyone was united, with no other agendas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi acts impulsively, but his direction is right. The Demon God Realm is our greatest threat. The cultivators of the Immortal Immortal Continent only seek to slowly devour us—but those great demons are different. They treat Earth as a hunting ground, cultivators as prey, constantly plotting to devour us. Now is the time to teach them a lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One high official said: “Fully support Li Yi. Over the past year, our military has trained several extraordinary talents. With Earth’s resurgence, our national fortune is rising. Combined with Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo, we now have five powerful cultivators specializing in national fortune arts—each can single-handedly kill a demon king.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>National fortune arts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Boxiu’s eyelid twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such cultivation methods were monstrous—just one year had produced five cultivators surpassing demon king level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their flaw was severe: when national fortune strengthened, their power surged; when national fortune weakened, their power collapsed. Moreover, few could cultivate them simultaneously, or national fortune would scatter, preventing growth—suitable only for a select few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The five national fortune cultivators must join the campaign, but that’s not enough. We need more resources. My department has developed a medicine that regenerates flesh—I’ve ordered two tons urgently. Hopefully, it’ll suffice for now.” Another high official said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Medicine alone isn’t enough. Weapons and gear matter too. I’ll requisition twenty planet-destroying warships from World Six. Their main cannons can obliterate entire continents. Though hard to hit demon king-level targets and slow to recharge, they’re still useful for area suppression.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another high official revealed his long-hoarded arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood: this cross-border campaign must succeed. Only by crushing the Demon God Realm could Earth demonstrate strength sufficient to deter any major cultivation realm—and secure lasting peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principle of stopping war through war was clear to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though time was tight, as everyone agreed: war never waits for you to be ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the meeting continued, they began requisitioning resources, formulating plans, and considering follow-up strategies. No one questioned whether to fight—now, the arrow was already on the string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Earth’s cultivator population was vast, and its technology advanced enough—even three days could accomplish much.\u003C\u002Fp>",1752,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","965f9285ed43a9cb4a360bd562bdfb4b9670db4f218cdc991cca53490c9eb42d","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-929","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-927",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
