After the Skyfall

Chapter 390 Surrender
With the outbreak of the feathered serpent's poison, more than a dozen ghosts and gods died one after another in extreme events. This huge contrast was beyond everyone's expectations. When the ghosts and gods showed their Dharma forms before, they were extremely majestic, as if they were destroying the world. Who could have thought that such power only lasted for less than a minute, and the ghosts and gods screamed and died suddenly.

The changes were so fast that even the four major families watching the battle in Sanyang City were unable to react, and they couldn't even understand what was going on.

But they knew that those shattered images represented the death of ghosts and gods.

Anyway this is good news.

As the last scream echoed, another ghost god shattered his body and followed the others, dying miserably on the spot. Now there were only four ghost gods left standing between heaven and earth. The rest had all perished. The reason why these four ghost gods were still alive was very simple. They had not been injured before and had not been contaminated by the feathered serpent poison.

But what does it matter whether you are poisoned or not now?
There are four people left. How can they join forces to kill Li Yi?
This is a losing and death situation.

So at this moment, the four Dharma images were in a dilemma as to whether to take action or not. They were frozen in place for a moment. Even if they had lived for a thousand years, they did not know what to do at this moment.

Escape may be the only option at this moment.

But who dares to run first?

The first one to escape will definitely be targeted by Li Yi and killed with thundering means. The others may be able to take advantage of the situation, but that's all. It is hard to say whether they can escape in the end.

Li Yi saw what the remaining four ghosts and gods were thinking. He scanned them with his silver vertical pupils and said, "I have almost killed all the ghosts and gods in the four seas and eight continents. You know that even the four Dharma images cannot kill me together. On the contrary, after one blow, it is hard to say how long you can survive. Instead of fighting to the death in vain, you might as well surrender to me and serve me in the future. I can leave you a way to live."

At this moment, he had the idea of ​​surrendering.

Because Li Yi felt that it would be best if there was a ghost god to manage the countless ghost soldiers, ghost generals, and even ghost gods in the four seas and eight continents, so as to avoid chaos in the future. At the same time, driving ghosts and gods would also be beneficial to his own work.

"Surrender to you? It's just a matter of death. We have experienced everything in the past thousand years, but the only thing we have never done is to surrender to anyone." A ghost glared at him.

The other three ghosts and gods remained silent.

They have been overlords for thousands of years, ruling over the four seas and eight continents. How could they be willing to submit to a young warrior just to save their lives?

Li Yi said: "You live like this, neither human nor ghost, relying on absorbing Yang life to hang on. Do you think this kind of life is enjoyable? The four seas and eight continents are too small to accommodate you, but the outside world is different. The world is vast and can allow you to continue your martial arts journey. Moreover, my strength is stronger than yours. It is not shameful to submit to me."

"The body has long decayed, only the soul remains. How can you talk about continuing the journey?" Another ghost sneered.

Li Yi said: "Why not just change another body?"

"Do you think we haven't tried it? This is not our own body, and it cannot carry the body of ghosts or gods. Either our souls will be damaged, or the body will not fit and the flesh will die." said the third ghost god.

Obviously, these ghosts and gods have already tried to possess and take over the bodies of living people.

Just as Teacher Lin Yue and Zhang Songlin said at the beginning, one cannot choose a living person to possess a body, otherwise it will damage the soul. Unexpectedly, there is also a situation where the body and soul are not in harmony, and the physical body becomes necrotic.

"I can make your original bodies grow back again." Li Yi then said.

He has the cradle of life in his hands and can reshape his body.

"What?" When these words came out, the four ghosts and gods were immediately shocked.

Li Yi said: "I am very sincere. If I had no use for you, I would have killed you all. I have given you the conditions. Surrender, or die?"

At this moment, the four ghosts and gods looked at each other.

Although they were not sure whether what Li Yi said was true or false, it gave them hope and a way out.

If you don't know what's good for you, you'll really die.

Why seek death when you can live?
The ghost god who would rather die than surrender immediately dispersed his Dharma body and revealed his original appearance. He was a skinny bald old man. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Li Yi and said, "Ghost god, I am willing to surrender."

The other three ghosts and gods couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw how smoothly the mountain was destroyed.

You were the one who fought the hardest just now.

"Very good." Li Yi nodded.

Seeing this scene, the other three ghosts and gods also sighed in their hearts, dispersed their Dharma images, and no longer fought to the death. Instead, they revealed their figures, walked over, and knelt down in front of Li Yi.

"Ghost Sword Shirt, I am willing to surrender."

"The ghost god Zifeng, please descend."

"The ghost god Hanshan is willing to descend."

These four ghosts and gods all surrendered.

Li Yi said: "Since you have surrendered, you must serve me from now on. If you rebel, you will die."

"Of course." The four ghosts and gods responded with some helplessness.

Li Yi said: "I will fulfill the promise I made before. If you want to restore your body, you can give me your remains and I will create a new body for you."

When these words were spoken, the four ghosts and gods were stunned.

Is Li Yi serious?
Before, they just thought that Li Yi was just drawing a pie in the sky to give them a way out and let them surrender. Could it be that he really wanted to help them rebuild their bodies? How could this be possible? "My, our bodies have been decaying for thousands of years, how can they still be useful?" The bald old man, Cui Yue, said in astonishment.

They all buried their own bodies themselves. Although underground palaces and mausoleums were built to protect the bodies relatively well, after thousands of years, no matter how well the bodies were protected, they could no longer be used. It was already very good that they did not decay.

"As long as the remains are still there and haven't been burned to ashes, it will be fine." Li Yi said: "Do you think I'm just talking casually?"

"My remains are sealed in a piece of ancient black ice in an underground palace in the far north." Bald No. 2 Cuiyue was surprised and happy, thinking that his original decision was so correct. He never thought that he would really see the light of day again.

"I was buried deep in a mountain, and my body remained in a golden coffin filled with dragon blood resin, which will not decay for a thousand years." Ghost Sword Shirt also said.

Ghost God Zi Feng said: "My body is under the East China Sea, inside a thousand-year-old giant clam. The giant clam has wrapped my body and turned it into a human pearl, which will last forever."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else looked at Zifeng. They didn't expect that Zifeng would think of such a special way to preserve the body.

"My body is left in a jade coffin, which is placed under the village where I was born and raised. Now it has become a barren mountain." said the ghost god Hanshan.

Although these ghosts and gods have lived for a long time, they have kept their bodies in good condition. After all, with their strength, they could not get anything in their previous lives, so they would naturally look for a burial place for themselves early. And judging from their methods, even after a thousand years, their bodies are still well preserved.

Although the vitality is gone and cannot be resurrected, what Li Yi wants is not the vitality, but the genes in the body. As long as the genes are extracted, the Cradle of Life can function.

"Work for me, serve me, and give me your remains. When the time is right, I can return you a young body full of vitality so that you can continue your journey." Li Yi said, "So this is a deal. You are all thousand-year-old people. Talking about loyalty with you is like taking off your pants and farting. I just want you to work for me, that's all."

The four ghosts and gods were silent upon hearing this.

"Your first mission now is to control the ghost army and withdraw from here, and then collect the remains of the dead ghosts and gods, and send all their remains to my residence in Sanyang City. In addition, spread today's news. There must be other hidden ghosts and gods in the four seas and eight continents who have not come. Tell them that if they are willing to surrender to me, I can create a new body for you and live a new life."

Li Yi arranged the task.

The four ghosts agreed and immediately assigned their tasks to each of them. Then the ghost sword shirt said: "If such conditions were given at the beginning, perhaps this battle could have been avoided. No ghost is unwilling to live again."

Li Yi sneered: "Without absolute force to defeat all the ghosts and gods, can you surrender so quietly? Do I need to repeat the principle of killing the chicken to scare the monkey? Besides, I don't need so many ghosts and gods to do things for me."

Several ghosts and gods were startled, but then they thought about it and it made sense.

Before, they were not in awe of Li Yi, but after a big battle, they completely admitted that Li Yi's strength and means were far superior to their own.

There are some things you can only understand if you experience them yourself.

Only when you are afraid can you be at peace.

If Li Yi did not kill more than a dozen ghosts and gods with such ruthless means, how could he win the submission of these four ghosts and gods, and how could he make others believe that he could suppress the eight states?

"Go ahead and get it done as soon as possible. Don't make me wait too long." Li Yi said.

Then the four ghosts and gods clasped their fists, bowed, and then dispersed.

A ghost god powerfully controlled the army. Any ghost god who disobeyed his orders was killed directly. Then he took control of the ghost army and led them away.

The other three ghosts and gods went far away to collect the relics of other dead ghosts and gods.

After thousands of years of accumulation, every ghost and god has accumulated tremendous wealth. If they return it to Li Yi as soon as possible, it will definitely benefit Li Yi a lot.

Along with the ghosts and gods, the evil soldiers dispersed.

The anomaly in the sky also disappeared, and at the same time, a white light appeared in the distant sky.

The night ends and the day begins.

Li Yi took a look and turned back to the city. There was no corpse left at the site, only a section of collapsed city wall and a number of collapsed houses.

It is hard to imagine that this short battle has brought about a new world for the whole world and the end of ghosts and gods.

"it's over?"

The most surprising thing was the masters of the four great families in the mansion. They thought that a shocking battle would break out, but they never expected that with the collapse of the images of ghosts and gods, the battle subsided. The ghosts and gods died inexplicably, and at the same time, Li Yi seemed to have won inexplicably.

Is this what is called destiny?
Before everyone could remember.

But Li Yi was seen flying into the sky against the rosy glow, his whole body interwoven with silver light, like a true god descending to the world.

When everyone saw Li Yi, there was only fear and awe in their eyes.

This is the man who single-handedly ended the Age of Ghosts and Gods.

The only one in a thousand years.

From today onwards, the four great families and other warriors from all over the world will have to admit that the man before their eyes is the ruler of the world. Perhaps it won't be long before the story about Li Yi will become a legend and spread everywhere.
