After the Skyfall

Chapter 564 I became the prince?
Both Li Yi and Li Jiye, father and son, have very similar personalities and both attach great importance to family. However, as men, they do not say many things. In order to protect Li Yi's safety, Li Jiye tried to lure away the evil spirit at the cost of his own life. Although he failed, he did not want this to happen again. Li Yi was only fourteen years old when he took on the responsibility of this family.

Li Jiye knew very well that under the circumstances at that time, even if the family had some savings, it would not be enough to keep the two medical cabins running for six years, because he had spent most of the family's money in order to make adequate preparations when he crossed the border. He thought that he could earn it back by relying on his identity as a cultivator, but he didn't expect to encounter such a disaster.

So one can imagine how much suffering Li Yi went through during those years.

"Xiao Yi, how did you live after I left? Can you tell me about it?" Li Jiye said at this moment.

Li Yi said: "Uncle Biao helped a lot. When he knew you were in trouble, he took good care of me and helped me a lot."

"Uncle Biao."

When Li Jiye heard this, his close friend immediately came to his mind. He smiled and said, "He is indeed a very righteous person. I guessed that he would definitely help you when you are in trouble. It's just that he has limited ability. He eats today and doesn't think about tomorrow. He lives a very comfortable life. By the way, how is he now? Is he okay?"

Li Yi said: "Uncle Biao has left Tianchang City now. Because of the Tianqing incident, the earth is in danger, so I sent many people out of the earth."

"It's okay."

Li Jiye nodded slightly and said, "I don't know if he and I will have the chance to meet again. If so, I should really thank him."

Li Yi continued, "I sold the original house because it was very expensive to maintain two medical cabins, so I took you to the old city, where there is an old house left by my grandfather. I moved in there. Although Uncle Biao has always been happy to help, life is a long-term thing after all, and often involves money issues, so I rarely bothered Uncle Biao later and worked alone in the old city."

"Wait, two medbays? Are you saying your mom's medbay is still operational?"

Li Jiye only noticed the key point at this time: "Isn't your mother dead? Why do you need a medical cabin? Where did that ghost go? Why are you okay?"

"Mom is dead, but I didn't know it at the time. When I got home from school, I only saw mom and you lying in the medical cabin, sleeping. At that time, the earth called your situation "the Silent One", which means that the soul has crossed the boundary and the body has fallen into a deep sleep." Li Yi said.

"It was not until later, with the help of Uncle Biao and Lin Yue, that I embarked on the path of cultivation, and then came into contact with the cross-border, that I understood what was going on. The ghost never left our house from beginning to end, but disguised itself as my mother and lay in the medical cabin."

"Is it really like this?" Li Jiye's eyes narrowed slightly in shock.

The ghost that he brought out from a certain world actually killed his wife and then disguised himself as his wife. He lay in the medical cabin and lived with Li Yi and himself who had lost his soul for six or seven years.

This is simply unbelievable.

Li Yi said calmly, "Because the ghosts in World No. 36 are very special. Although they are unsolvable and terrifying, they do not kill people randomly. They need to follow certain rules. The ghost's killing rule is to disguise itself as someone. If it is discovered by others, it will immediately kill the discoverer. On the contrary, as long as you have not discovered the ghost's identity, it can continue to disguise itself."

"My mother was already a Silent One at that time, so the ghost disguised herself as a Silent One. That's why we have been living in peace for the past six or seven years, and that's why I survived."

"So that's how it is." Li Jiye felt incredible at this moment.

The ghosts in that world are so special.

At that time, he only knew that the thing was scary and he had no way to deal with it. He never thought that ghosts could follow rules to kill people. If he had known this earlier, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided.

"I don't think you would really like to know what happened later. It was nothing more than working, living, making money, and then practicing. Then I crossed the border. Although I experienced some dangers along the way, it didn't matter. After all, I'm still alive, and that's enough. It's just that I've practiced to this point, and there are some things I should do, such as finding you, rescuing mom, and doing my best to see if I can bring the family together." Li Yi said.

Li Jiye was silent for a while, but then he said, "Since you know your mother has passed away, you should understand that she has completely left us and cannot be saved."

Li Yi said: "No, someone promised me that they can save me. Although I don't know if it's true or not, I have to give it a try. The next time I cross the boundary, I will go to World 36. There are people there who seem to be able to use supernatural powers to cross time and space and save people who died in the past."

"How is this possible?" Li Jiye was shocked again.

Because this kind of thing is beyond his understanding.

Even in this world where people become gods through worshipping incense, it is impossible to resurrect a person who has been dead for nine years.

"I also think it's unlikely, but I have dealt with the person who said this. He is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, so he is still trustworthy. So no matter what, I have to give it a try." Li Yi said.

"Where is that person? I'll go find him."

Li Jiye immediately said very seriously: "I didn't know what happened between you and your mother before, but now that I know, I can't just sit back and watch. Xiaoyi, you should give me a chance to do something to make up for what I owe to this family." Li Yi said: "He is on Earth now, but I am already doing this thing, and there will be results soon. I don't need your help for the time being. After I finish this thing, I will come to this world again and tell you the news about my mother. After all, you are in this state now, and you can't leave this world."

"As an emperor, you gather the incense of the world. If you leave this world rashly, I am afraid that it won't be long before the court is in chaos. When you come back, everything you have managed will no longer exist."

Li Jiye said: "The price may be a little high, but it is worth it if the family can be reunited. As a father, I will give up this body, return to myself, and become an earthling again."

He now looked at himself in the medical cabin.

I didn't expect that God would be so kind to me and give me a chance to start over.

"Earth is no longer what it used to be. With the opening of the cross-border gate, all kinds of strong men and masters have emerged one after another. The Golden Academy was almost destroyed. If you can't cultivate successfully in this world where people become gods through worship, you will not be able to do anything even if you return to Earth one day."

Li Yi then recounted some recent developments on Earth, such as the invasion of the Xuanxian world, the evil gods of the dark world, the horror of the wild world, the great monsters of the demon god world, and many unknown and terrifying existences. Various cross-border gates were opened, some people fled from the Earth, and some people invaded the Earth.

"Is the Earth so messed up?"

Li Jiye was a little stunned, but then he immediately said: "In that case, Xiaoyi, why don't you bring your relatives, friends, and Uncle Biao and move your family to this world, where your father will be the emperor. As long as we work together, we can live forever. Even if someone dies, I can be canonized as a god, enjoy incense and offerings, and live forever in heaven and earth."

Li Yi was indeed moved after hearing this.

Compared to the world of the four seas and eight continents, this world where people become gods through worshipping incense is the most suitable for me.

They have a foundation, incense, and spiritual energy. They just need to spend some time and work hard to sweep the country and pacify the empire, then this world will be theirs.

And the coordinates are already there.

It is not difficult to implement.

"Now that I'm here, what should I do with those half-brothers?" Li Yi suddenly smiled.

"You know, my father is not familiar with them, so after I ascended the throne, I drove them out of the capital and made them idle princes. Moreover, my father is now practicing magic and incense magic. I can't say that he can achieve immortality, but living for a thousand years is not a problem. By then, those people will be dead, and who will remember them?" Li Jiye said.

This was also his original idea.

He had no intention of passing the throne to those adopted sons. Before Li Yi came, he planned to learn from Qin Shihuang, unify the world's ghosts, gods, and monsters, gather the incense of the people and the country, and prosper forever.

"So I came too early. I should have come later." Li Yi said.

Li Jiye said hurriedly, "No, that's not what I meant. Xiaoyi, you came at the right time. It's just that I have to change my plan. I can bring you into the palace and make up an identity for you as a great prince. I can say that you are my illegitimate son who has been living abroad. Then I can support you with all my strength and help you build momentum. With your strength and my help, I believe you can replace the current crown prince soon."

"As long as the time is right, I will be the emperor and you will be the prince. When the time comes, we will work together to destroy mountains and temples and wipe out those gods of incense. At that time, the world will belong to our Li family forever."

As he spoke, he became a little excited.

Because there is nothing better than this.

He has been pretending to be the emperor in this world for too long and has no confidants. Now that Li Yi is here, he can start to implement some of his ambitions and plans without restraint.

After all, his own son was good enough. At such a young age, he could kill the national guardian general Wang Qijun without the help of incense to become a god. This made him extremely surprised.

If they could continue to enjoy the incense for a few more years, nothing in this world would be difficult for both father and son.

Li Yi shook his head slightly: "I am not interested in being a prince. I am on the path of cultivating the Tao and becoming an immortal. Great power belongs to myself, and immortality is at my fingertips. The way of incense is just a part of my concurrent cultivation. I just need a reasonable identity to gather incense. When I succeed in cultivating the true self through falsehood, incense will be of no use to me."

"Xiao Yi, being a prince will not affect your cultivation of Taoism and immortality. Although becoming a god through incense and worship has many disadvantages, it also has its advantages. You must leave a way out for yourself. In case something unexpected happens one day, you can be resurrected in this world with the help of the power of incense and faith." Li Jiye said seriously.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, it seemed so.

So, I became the prince all of a sudden?
