It’s been half a month since the war between Earth and the Demon God Realm ended.
During this period, Earth’s experts have been healing, recuperating, and preparing for the next battle, while the Eastern Pole Venerable hasn’t been idle either.
He wielded the mighty power of an Enlightened one, forcibly gathering the broken continent, recreating a piece of land, though it’s only one-tenth of its original size.
The rest has turned into various islands scattered across the sea.
Though the reconstruction isn’t particularly perfect, it’s at least livable now. Before, the Demon King’s power rampaged, the Demon King’s resentnt soared, magma spouted from deep underground, the sky roared with constant storms, and thunder raged — it was simply apocalyptic.
If the Eastern Pole Venerable hadn’t done so reconstruction, this area would have been unusable.
But today.
A teor streaked across the sky, heading towards the newly gathered land.
This unusual sight quickly attracted many people’s attention, but soon everyone relaxed their guard because they saw an Immortal Dao Battleship hauling a giant teor from the direction of space.
There’s no need to say that this must be sothing Li Yi is doing.
Soon enough.
Accompanied by the support of a giant Xiangyun, the teor safely landed on the ground.
Many cultivators curiously gathered around at this mont.
"Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, why are you going to such great lengths to bring a teor from outer space? There are countless such objects beyond the heavens..." Xuanzhen Taoist had just started to ask but then realized sothing was amiss.
"Wait, this doesn’t seem like an ordinary teor; it has the aura of a Demon God on it."
"This is a Demon God’s Nest, tempered countless tis by True Sun Fire, becoming a treasure. It contains many rare items within its own space. I don’t quite recognize its value, but I know it’s extraordinary, so I brought it for you to appraise." Li Yi said.
"Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, you’re too kind," Xuanzhen Taoist said, "We cultivators rely live longer, not necessarily knowing everything about otherworldly objects."
Li Yi casually threw out a piece of the teor: "This is a fragnt cut from the top; does anyone recognize it?"
One side of the teor was pitted and rugged, while the other, previously scorching and crystalline, now cooled, revealing a black gold color, exceedingly hard, dazzling with divine light.
"This seems related to the Golden Crow Demon God..." Xuanzhen Taoist furrowed his brow, scrutinizing the teor.
"It resembles the legendary Black Gold Divine Iron, which can be crafted into a Dao Artifact and can also rejuvenate True Sun Fire, possessing boundless power." At this ti, another Great Perfection cultivator comnted.
"Indeed, it’s Black Gold Divine Iron; I’ve seen it in ancient books before, but this piece is as massive as a mountain, and I’m seeing it firsthand, not daring to confirm," they added.
Upon hearing their assessnts, Li Yi had so understanding. He said, "You may take so of it for your own use, then help divide the rest. There seem to be so peculiar items inside."
"Consider it a minor task; Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, rest assured, leave it to this humble Taoist," Xuanzhen Taoist’s eyes shone brightly, suddenly excited.
Such a large teor, extracting so Black Gold Divine Iron, would be sufficient for crafting one’s own Enlightennt Artifact in the future.
Other Great Perfection cultivators also rejoiced.
"If the Eastern Pole Venerable needs so, let him take a share too," Li Yi continued.
His intention was to reward and prize everyone, especially after they fought fiercely for him, so reward was due.
Moreover, the teor is vast, so even after they claim part of it, there’s enough left for him.
After delegating this task, Li Yi flew straightforwardly towards Earth’s command ship.
Just recently, he received an invitation from Earth’s top brass, saying there’s a matter they wish to discuss with him; otherwise, he’d still be staying in outer space and wouldn’t return so quickly.
Before long.
Li Yi arrived on the command ship.
He walked smoothly without obstruction, the system in the intelligent brain having recognized his identity, and with his authority and status, he could access any place currently on Earth.
Soon enough.
Li Yi entered a eting room.
There weren’t few attendees; besides him, several Martial Saints from the Martial Saint Continent were present, as well as Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, even his father Li Jiye had crossed worlds again.
The Eastern Pole Venerable wasn’t part of the eting; worn out after ten days, it’s uncertain where he’s resting now.
"Tell , what crucial matter requires to be summoned for discussion?" Li Yi approached, his seat assigned at the main position.
This signified the weight of his status and speaking power now.
If Li Yi didn’t appear, the importance of this eting might not proceed.
"Li Yi, your timing is impeccable; regarding the eting content, I’ll keep it brief. Just a few days ago, a Nine Wind Demon King approached us for contact, intending to represent the Demon God Realm for peace talks."
Zhao Yongshan imdiately said, "The remaining Demon Kings and Great Demons of the Demon God Realm have expressed their willingness to offer the Demon God Realm, but in return, they want to secure a continent to live on and ensure that from now on, the two realms remain peaceful. Furthermore, in future wars on Earth, they can act as allies and help Earth fight."
Li Yi did not answer, only asking, "What do they plan to do if we do not agree?"
"The remaining Demon Kings will join forces to destroy the Demon God Realm, a mutually destructive outco," Xiao Jianguo said from the side, "That’s precisely why we’re holding this eting to discuss."
"Although Earth has suffered an invasion from the Demon God Realm, after a great battle, the other side has already paid a bloody price. If we insist on exterminating them, I’m afraid the result will be counterproductive. After all, the Demon Kings joining forces could indeed destroy the Demon God Realm."
After hearing this, Li Yi looked at the other high-level leaders.
One of the leaders imdiately added, "Li Yi, Earth has many enemies now, having one more ally is a good thing. Utilizing the power of the Demon Kings to balance the powerhouses of other worlds is a win-win situation. Moreover, we’ve calculated that giving up one continent wouldn’t have a significant impact on us."
"And the remaining Demon Kings and Great Demons can be slowly eroded and divided."
Li Yi said, "Can the words of the Demon Kings be trusted? They are demons for a day and demons for life. What if another Demon God appears given ti? Or if the Golden Crow Demon God returns one day, it’ll be another rebellion."
"I don’t want to have to quell a rebellion in the future. Gathering so many experts is not an easy task."
"This is within our consideration," Zhao Yongshan said. "For this reason, Li Yue suggested sothing."
Li Yue is the na of Xuan Yuezi on Earth.
"What suggestion?" Li Yi asked.
Xuan Yuezi said, "Sacrifice Spell."
"If the Demon Kings are willing to plant the Sacrifice Spell, I think we can agree to their demands."
Listening to Xuan Yuezi, Li Yi roughly understood the thoughts of everyone; the battle has already been won at this point. If they insist on exterminating the remnants of the Demon God Realm, they worry it might backfire.
However, this way of thinking is not wrong.
It’s wise to quit while ahead, to avoid any mishaps that might lead to losses outweighing the gains.
"If the Demon Kings are willing to plant the Sacrifice Spell, a way out can be given. However, this condition is harsh, and the Demon Kings may not agree. It will likely involve tugging and negotiating. My bottom line is that at least more than half of the Demon Kings must be restricted by the Sacrifice Spell, otherwise, we’ll have to fight another battle," Li Yi said.
Zhao Yongshan said, "We think the sa, and as for the specifics, further discussion is needed, but the general direction won’t change."
Li Yi nodded, "Then let them surrender, I’m sure you’ll handle the subsequent matters without mishaps."
"Alright, since you’ve agreed, Li Yi, we’ll continue negotiating with Nine Wind Demon King and try to reach a result within a few days," Zhao Yongshan said.
Li Yi had nothing more to say. He was confident that Earth’s leadership would handle things better than he imagined. What he needed to do was stay here for a while longer and wait for things to conclude smoothly.
However, at the end of the eting, he ntioned, "If we’re using the Sacrifice Spell, I suggest Xiang Xiangzi handle it."
"No problem with that," Earth’s leadership imdiately agreed.
"That’s good, you all continue your discussions and contact if there’s sothing important. I need to take a break after a while; this war has indeed taken a toll on everyone, and it’s not worth continuing to fight excessively," Li Yi said, standing up, "Though we’ve taken the Demon God Realm, don’t let your guard down, many foes still await us."
With that, he didn’t stay on the command ship, but turned and left.
But facing Li Yi’s free and easy departure, no one said anything. After all, Li Yi had the privilege to be so unrestrained.
As Li Yi left, Li Jiye, Xuan Yuezi, Xiang Xiangzi, and others quickly followed suit, ending the eting swiftly.
The Earth leadership didn’t idle either, imdiately starting internal discussions while preparing to negotiate with Nine Wind Demon King to try to thoroughly end the war.
Of course, the process isn’t important, but the final result must end with the Demon Kings yielding and compromising because they have no choice.
Unless they still possess Demon God-level combat power.
Thus, the living Demon Kings harbor deep resentnt toward the escape of the Golden Crow Demon God.
If the Golden Crow Demon God hadn’t fled, even in negotiation, the Demon God Realm would have the confidence and capital, and wouldn’t have to suffer the humiliation of planting the Sacrifice Spell and being manipulated.
The only sowhat acceptable aspect for the Demon Kings is that the target of the Sacrifice Spell is Xiang Xiangzi.
And Xiang Xiangzi is not an Earth person, whose strength also surpasses that of the Demon Kings. They would really be unable to accept being controlled by an Earthling weaker than a Demon King.
"Golden Crow Divine Iron, good stuff, it can be used to forge a new Imperial Jade Seal." At this mont, Li Jiye also arrived at the massive teorite, looking at such divine items with great interest.
He requested a large piece from Li Yi for future needs.
Despite everyone’s division, the lair of the Golden Crow Demon God soon faded from view, but most of what’s left was taken by Li Yi.
"To forge a new Jade Seal, I’ll need to make a trip to the Barbaric World. Tian Gong Taoist holds three Divine Wood Red Gold Furnaces, only he can forge top-tier Divine Weapons."
Li Yi advised his father to calm down and not rush, also ntioning he had yet to talk about the matter of the Star Core. Moreover, the remains of the Purple Dragon Demon God were another huge treasure trove.
Conquering the Demon God Realm this ti has yielded many benefits, needing ti to digest.
