The Post Sky Tipping Era

When the Immortal Dao Battleship arrived above the Earth Defense Line, Li Yi discovered that the situation here was far worse than he had imagined.

The familiar Black Great Wall had been shattered in a certain war, leaving only some broken walls and ruins. Inside the defense line, there was devastation everywhere, with almost no intact buildings.

The once familiar buildings were all destroyed, and there was not even a need to rebuild them.

Only a newly constructed command building stood on the ground.

As for the Evolvers who came to support the Earth Defense Line, they casually found a piece of wasteland to sit and rest. Most of the Evolvers within the defense line were injured, although their numbers had increased significantly, there were many unfamiliar faces.

"Supporters, huh?"

The Evolvers saw the arrival of the Immortal Dao Battleship, and their somewhat numb eyes showed a glimmer of light, but soon they hung their heads again.

To them, the new supporters would soon become lost souls on the battlefield, unable to survive for long.

At this moment, Li Yi stepped out of the Immortal Dao Battleship, standing in mid-air, his eyes sweeping over this desolate area. Although he hadn't participated in the subsequent wars, it was imaginable that due to the escalation of war, casualties on the Earth Defense Line had increased, and the battle conditions were even more tragic than before.

While he was inspecting the surroundings.

Suddenly.

A familiar voice came: "Li Yi, you finally returned, that's great."

Li Yi immediately turned his head towards the voice.

He saw a man sitting on a piece of shattered stone in the distance, the man with disheveled hair looked weathered, wearing a set of Red Gold Treasure Armor, which was covered with cracks, stained with mottled blood, and in front of this man stood a purple treasure sword.

"Ye Jingtian." Li Yi flew over, landing from the air, looking at the man in front of him with some surprise.

Previously, when Ye Jingtian first came to the Earth Defense Line, he wore Red Gold Treasure Armor and held the Purple and Blue Twin Swords, exuding pride and vigor, yet it had only been a while and he looked so haggard.

Ye Jingtian nodded slightly and said, "You're here at the right time. The current Earth Defense Line urgently needs experts to stabilize this precarious situation, or else in the next war, the Earth Defense Line might be completely destroyed."

"Is it because of the Evil Gods from the Dark World joining in?" Li Yi asked seriously, his eyes slightly moving.

Ye Jingtian said, "Not entirely, the appearance of the Dark Evil Gods actually relieved us of some pressure. Those Evil Gods have not allied with the Xuanxian Continent or the Demon God Realm, they kill indiscriminately, especially love to corrupt the Great Demons of the Demon God Realm, making them fall and become new Evil Gods."

"The real reason for the current chaotic situation is the escalation of war. Previously, the number of people in a battle was controlled at around dozens, but now the number in a war starts at three hundred."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately said, "This means the opposing side is starting to gamble everything. When did this situation begin? Was it after I escaped across borders?"

"Yes, that war led to the annihilation of experts from the Demon God Realm and the Xuanxian Continent because of you, so they chose to escalate the war, wanting to break the Earth Defense Line as quickly as possible because they worry that another expert like you might emerge."

Ye Jingtian nodded slightly, "Moreover, those Mahayana Realm cultivators have also joined the battle with Immortal Artifacts. On the side of the Demon God Realm, some Great Demons wield Demon King Weapons. With these means, they once again dominated the war, and the Earth Defense Line was about to lose. Luckily, the Evil Gods from the Dark World entered to stir things up, sharing a lot of pressure, but even so, the Earth Defense Line still can't bear it."

"Now Zhao Yongshan, the person in charge of the Earth Defense Line, has already prepared to evacuate from Earth. The leaders of the ten survival bases have received the related commands."

He then revealed some confidential information.

"Although there's a heap of bad news, there is still some good news. Rumor has it from the Xuanxian Continent that the Sky Moon Demon King mysteriously died while chasing you?"

Li Yi said, "Indeed."

Ye Jingtian smiled and said, "The death of a Demon King has made the Demon God Realm somewhat apprehensive. At least the remaining two Demon Kings no longer easily join the battle, fearing they might provoke disaster and bring fire upon themselves, and it is said that the True Immortal from the Xuanxian Continent has temporarily given up the idea of crossing borders."

"These top experts not participating is the only reason the Earth Defense Line can still hold on until now."

"It seems the death of the Sky Moon Demon King has had some positive impact, but this time I've come to thoroughly reverse this terrible situation, driving the Xuanxian Continent, the Demon God Realm, and the Dark World's Evil Gods all out of Earth," Li Yi suddenly said very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingtian's smile gradually faded, and his expression became solemn: "Li Yi, how much confidence do you have?"

"Seventy to eighty percent," Li Yi said. "I brought external reinforcements, though there are only over forty people."

"This number may not be enough," Ye Jingtian said. "Due to the escalation of the war, the opposing experts have also increased, and in terms of foundations, Earth is still lacking."

Li Yi said, "Isn't there some experts within the Earth Defense Line too? With them, I think it should be enough."

"You want to take a gamble?" Ye Jingtian's expression flickered.

Li Yi said, "Better than enduring a slow death with a dull knife. If we continue to play with them, all the experts on Earth will be dead. It's better to fight desperately. You've experienced quite a few battles; your understanding of the situation might be clearer than mine."

"This matter requires Zhao Yongshan's consent. You need to talk to him," Ye Jingtian said. "But if you really want to do this, I can contact other comrades to support you."

He didn't ask for the reasons, because given Li Yi's strength and knowledge, since he was willing to try and had a fair chance of success, he was also willing to take a gamble.

Continuing this stalemate gave no hope anyway.

If they ended up losing after breaking their own vessels, they could just flee across dimensions, as this was part of the plan.

"Alright, you help me contact the others, I'll go find Zhao Yongshan and try to persuade him," Li Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingtian stood up immediately, drew the purple treasure sword in front of him, and said, "Li Yi, even if you can't persuade Zhao Yongshan, it's fine. We can do it on our own. Out of all the battles so far, only the one you participated in was fought with real intensity. As long as you are willing to stand out, many will surely respond. By the way, when do you plan to take action?"

"As soon as possible, today," Li Yi replied.

"Alright." After Ye Jingtian agreed, he immediately began to take action.

Li Yi was slightly surprised by this enthusiasm, but soon understood. Within the Earth Defense Line, every heart was filled with blood and tears. It wasn't that they didn't want revenge, but they hadn't had the opportunity.

Now with Li Yi's arrival, they saw this opportunity, which is why they couldn't wait.

After all, Li Yi's strength was battlefield-tested, enough to earn trust.

Though deciding such a big matter in a few words seemed frivolous, that was the reality. Also, Li Yi underestimated his own influence, even though he hadn't been on Earth for a long time.

But Li Yi's performance in the last battle was extraordinarily outstanding, so many were eager for him to fight again to change the current situation.

Watching Ye Jingtian leave, Li Yi didn't hesitate, immediately heading toward the command building.

Once you draw the bow, there's no turning back. Since it was spoken, it had to be done.

Meanwhile.

Inside the meeting hall of the command building.

As the person in charge of the Earth Defense Line, Zhao Yongshan was analyzing the current situation with some other high-ranking officials and discussing the arrangements for the next battle.

"I don't think we can draw top experts from the ten bases anymore. Ever since the war escalated, it's no longer about sheer strength but about foundations. If we continue to drag on, we will be exhausted on the battlefield. Given this, we might as well abandon Earth, withdraw from the battlefield, and return for revenge when we are stronger."

"Leaving is easy, but fighting our way back later would be hard. In terms of cultivation resources, Earth is the richest. Other worlds may be safe, but each has its flaws. Only by holding on to Earth can we rise in adversity. Once we flee, it's hard to recover."

Speaking was Xiao Jianguo, who firmly opposed the proposal of fleeing across dimensions.

"Xiao Jianguo, you should be clear on the current situation. The Evil God from the Dark World has already stepped in, and the powerful ones on the Martial Saint Continent where Ji Wu is have opened the Cross-border Gate, preparing to settle on Earth. And the Totem Masters from the so-called Totem World are also becoming active on Earth... All these worlds are invading, and the evolvers on Earth have risen too recently to withstand these enemies."

"We can block them as they come. As long as we withstand the Xuanxian Continent and the Demon God Realm, the others won't be an issue. Experts are emerging and returning one after another. The dean of the Golden Academy, Sun Boxiu, has already sent a cross-border team to initiate a recruitment plan. As far as I know, many have responded," Xiao Jianguo said.

"It's too slow; distant water can't quench present thirst," someone shook their head, indicating little hope.

However, at this time, Zhao Yongshan suddenly mentioned, "I just received good news. Li Yi has crossed over back."

"Li Yi is indeed strong, capable of turning the tide of a battlefield, but in the current situation, it's not something one person can change." Several high-ranking officials shook their heads. While affirming Li Yi's strength and ability, their faith was limited.

However, before the high-ranking officials had finished speaking.

Suddenly.

Bam!

The doors of the meeting hall were pushed open, and a familiar man strode in.

Even before approaching, everyone could feel a powerful sense of oppression.

Because behind this person were more than forty top experts following him. These experts were not evolvers from Earth, yet the aura they inadvertently exuded was terrifying.

"Zhao Yongshan, you've been here discussing how to escape half the day? Such cowardice. I was hunted by the Demon King and never thought of leaving Earth not to return. If you don't have the confidence to win, why not cooperate with me for a big commotion? With luck, we might drive all those enemies off Earth."

As soon as Li Yi entered, he directly laid it out.

Upon seeing this, everyone paused for a moment and immediately realized that Li Yi's crossover brought a group of very powerful allies to help, making this development a bright spot.

If such a formidable force mysteriously appeared, it might really change the current situation.
