Chapter 932

"This is a map of the Demon God Realm; the entire realm is divided into three continents, with oceans covering only one-tenth the area of the land, totaling 3.5 times the size of Earth's former surface."

At this moment, in the conference room of the Golden Academy, Sun Boxiu, Xiao Jianguo, Zhao Yongshan, and other high-ranking officials were gathered, along with Li Yi, Dongji Tianzun, Xiangxiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, the seven Wu Sheng from the Wu Sheng Continent, and Wang Chengjun, Li Weiguo, and five other military elites.

In short, all the powerful figures participating in this cross-realm operation were present.

Anna, now upgraded to the sixth-generation artificial intelligence within the Golden Academy, was explaining basic information about the Demon God Realm to them—intelligence gathered over the past year by Earth’s high command through covert means, via smart satellites launched into the Demon God Realm.

This included critical data: maps of the Demon God Realm, climate patterns, and the distribution of demonic creatures.

Since we are launching a cross-realm campaign, we must prepare thoroughly—no rash actions.

"It seems you’ve long been preparing for a major war; otherwise, you wouldn’t have sent smart satellites into the Demon God Realm to spy on them," Li Yi said. "But the decisive factor in any great battle isn’t this kind of intelligence—it’s how many top-tier opponents they have. If we could gather information on their elite warriors, that would be ideal."

"I’m sorry, Li Yi, but a year is too short. Our intelligence is still incomplete. So far, we’ve identified fifty-two demon king factions and confirmed sixty-one demon kings."

The sixth-generation AI Anna spoke, and on the map, fifty-two dots appeared, each representing the territory of a demon king.

"Sixty-one demon kings? No surprise—it’s truly a major cultivation realm," said Li Shenquan, the Wu Sheng from the Wu Sheng Continent, squinting. "We couldn’t even muster that many Wu Sheng on our own continent."

"The demon kings operate independently; they can’t unify their strength. We just need to defeat them one by one. If we move fast enough, we can sweep through the entire Demon God Realm—after all, the number of elite warriors we’ve assembled is sufficient," said Wu Tianji calmly.

"That’s exactly our thinking—we’ve drafted a preliminary battle plan. But battlefield conditions are ever-changing; we’ll adjust tactics as needed at critical moments," said Xiao Jianguo.

"Any information on the Demon Gods?" Li Yi asked again.

"Nothing confirmed yet, but we must prepare for the possibility that a Demon God will appear. It’s impossible for the entire Demon God Realm to have no Demon God at all. If one does show up, we have no idea how to respond—that’s the core issue of this meeting," Xiao Jianguo said seriously.

All other tactical arrangements are secondary. If we lack a way to counter a Demon God, even this army of elites will suffer catastrophic losses after sweeping the realm—and that’s something I refuse to accept.

"If a Demon God appears, our five will channel collective fortune into one individual, forcing a breakthrough. Perhaps we can then fight a Demon God," said Wang Chengjun, sitting upright.

Everyone turned to look at the five tall, stoic military elites, falling silent for a moment.

Clearly, this tactic was suicidal—but the five showed calm expressions, accepting death without hesitation, seeing nothing wrong with it.

Li Yi no longer held back. "At the critical moment, I will manifest my true form, open the cross-realm gate, and draw upon the divine worship of this realm—my body and soul will both ascend to godhood. Perhaps then I can surpass my limits and gain the strength to fight a Demon God. Dongji Tianzun will assist me."

He turned to look at the lone Dao-attained master from the End of the Dharma Era.

Dongji Tianzun smiled faintly, not refusing the proposal. To be honest, he too wished to test his strength against a Demon God—to see whether a Dao-attained master or a Demon God was stronger.

Yet when the others heard Li Yi had a way to counter the Demon God, their spirits lifted instantly.

Of course.

Li Yi wouldn’t have proposed a cross-realm campaign without solid confidence—he wouldn’t dare be so bold otherwise.

"Excellent. Now our tactical planning has much more room to maneuver," Xiao Jianguo said, his brow relaxing as his tension eased.

As long as we have a way to handle the unknown Demon God, this cross-realm war is still winnable.

The rest of the arrangements became simple: just ensure Li Yi, Dongji Tianzun, and the five fortune-specialized elites remain free to respond at any moment if a Demon God appears.

As for the demon kings—

Honestly, they don’t pose a serious threat. The number of elites assembled now is more than enough.

While the group debated—

Within the Golden Academy, elite warriors continued to converge. All had received word of the cross-realm campaign and refused to miss this once-in-a-millennium chance. Regardless of whether their strength met the standard, they rushed to sign up.

The group who had previously fought in Earth’s defense line now gathered together spontaneously.

"Didn’t expect us to reunite so quickly. By the way, where’s Li Yi? I haven’t seen him," Jiang Yue asked with a smile as he arrived at the Golden Academy.

"Li Yi is discussing battle plans with top elites. The results should be ready soon," said Ye Jing, seated midair, polishing his Purple-Blue Twin Swords.

He had lost one sword during Earth’s defense line battle, but after the war ended, he retrieved it from the storage treasure of a celestial being.

"Is this really targeting the Demon God Realm? Not some trick to suddenly strike the Xuan Immortal Continent instead?" asked a young evolutionist named Zheng Duoduo in a hushed voice.

"No. Li Yi is resolute—he wants revenge for Earth’s evolutionists. The Demon God Realm is filled entirely with demonic beasts and aberrations; it’s the greatest threat," said Su Mu. "So the direction won’t change. We just wait for the battle plan, then prepare to fight. I checked my status—I’ve been approved to join the cross-realm campaign."

"You need to sign up for this? Wait, let me check," Jiang Yue exclaimed, quickly pulling out his phone. He discovered tens of thousands had signed up, and the number kept rising—but only a thousand or so had passed Anna’s AI screening.

This cross-realm operation demands elite warriors capable of standing alone. Those lacking strength would only die needlessly. For Earth’s future, the screening must be strict.

Yet evolutionists who fought in Earth’s defense line easily passed Anna’s screening—they’d already proven their strength and were trustworthy.

In truth, the time allotted for planning tactics and screening combatants was minimal.

Only six hours passed before everything was finalized.

Everyone watched as top elites flew out from the direction of the conference building, while Anna sent messages to all approved evolutionists.

Instantly—

The previously quiet and still Golden Academy erupted into bustle.

The meeting is over—there's movement! We're about to depart for the Demon God Realm. Look, the seven Wu Sheng from the Wu Sheng Continent are assembling their troops, the five top military elites have returned to their Thunder fighters, and the twenty Star-Slayer ships are powering up.

"Li Yi and the Dao Court elites from Tianchang City have entered the Immortal Warship. The fifty warriors from the Wildlands are also moving."

These observers watched from afar, keenly tracking every detail.

"Wait—I got a message! They’re telling us to board Transport Ship No. 1," said a powerful evolutionist, thrilled and elated.

Indeed, Earth’s high command moves fast—already preparing to deploy the moment the meeting ended.

"I got a message too—but I’m assigned to Transport Ship No. 2."

"I’m assigned to Transport Ship No. 3."

All evolutionists who signed up for the cross-realm war were instantly assigned by Anna’s AI, ordered to board their transport ships within ten minutes—failure to comply would immediately revoke their combat eligibility.

This operation must be swift—no delays allowed.

Earth’s movements have likely been detected by other realms. Since we’ve decided to strike, speed is paramount—we must prevent the Demon God Realm’s demon kings from forming a strong alliance in time, achieving the advantage of surprise.

"Let’s move," said Ye Jing, sheathing his Purple-Blue Twin Swords. He donned his Crimson-Gold Divine Armor, his state perfected, his strength far greater than a year ago—though still insufficient to defeat a demon king, he could easily slaughter great demons.

"Together. I’m probably on the same transport ship as you," said Su Mu, also clad in Crimson-Gold Divine Armor, gripping a Crimson-Gold Divine Sword.

These two divine weapons were gifts from Li Yi—otherwise, she’d never have found weapons powerful enough.

As figures swiftly flew into the sky and boarded the transport ships, the combatants assembled in the shortest possible time.

"Li Yi came from Tianchang City. We can’t let people think Tianchang City has only Li Yi and no one else," said Li Shaoqing, gazing at the Immortal Warship.

Though his current strength paled beside Li Yi’s, he must join this revenge war—and his power had just barely met the standard, passing Anna’s AI screening.

He flew toward the transport ship with several other newly met evolutionists.

Yet at the same time—

Inside the Immortal Warship, Li Yi was completing his final task: distributing Crimson-Gold Dao artifacts. Each new combatant received one Crimson-Gold Divine Sword and one Crimson-Gold Divine Armor.

This included one hundred fifty cultivators of the Three Flowers Realm, thirty-three Grand Completeness cultivators, and fifty divine-blood warriors from the Wildlands.

Additionally, the Dao Court cultivators from Tianchang City, having fought before, received no mercy—each was gifted a segment of Divine Wood branch and several Golden Tree leaves.

These Divine Wood materials could be forged into Dao artifacts and possessed many miraculous properties—far more valuable than the two Crimson-Gold Dao artifacts.

"Dongji Tianzun, I don’t know your resources, but since you’re aiding me, I won’t be stingy—I gift you a Dao-attained artifact," Li Yi said, flicking his finger. A golden Dao robe flew out.

The robe shimmered with radiant golden light, radiating boundless energy.

"What a magnificent robe," Dongji Tianzun exclaimed. "Wearing this, all methods are repelled, all attacks blocked. The celestial spiritual energy clings to you—your magic power becomes nearly infinite."

With just one glance, he already understood the robe’s properties.
