After the Skyfall

Chapter 822 A Power That Does Not Belong to This World
Regardless of how wary people inside and outside the building were of Li Yi, they would still observe the proper etiquette.

I received a message from Zhang Yan.

The entire department was mobilized urgently. In addition to armed personnel, they also invited some of the most experienced people in dealing with deaths in Huaimu City, just in case.

"Hello, I am Wang Jianming, the minister here. It's a pleasure to meet you today." A middle-aged man walked over with a smile and extended his hand in a friendly gesture.

Li Yi glanced at it and said calmly, "Minister? Never mind, minister it is. You can call me Taiyi."

Too easy?

Upon hearing the name, Wang Jianming, the minister, paused for a moment. He felt that it must be a pseudonym, and that the other party was intentionally hiding their identity.

“I don’t want to beat around the bush with you and say some hypocritical things, so let’s save ourselves from some meaningless probing. Just say what you have to say.” Li Yi said, “Just as this man named Zhang Yan guessed, I am not from your world, and of course, I am not a dead person either.”

Not from this world?

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianming remained silent and did not rush to refute. Instead, he looked intently at the man who called himself Taiyi.

"The reason I came here is because that building from your world appeared in my world. I wanted to destroy it to prevent it from having a negative impact on my world, but unfortunately, I failed."

"So I need to understand what the dead are like in your world, so that I can solve this problem at its root. Of course, in return, I can give you anything you want."

Li Yi got straight to the point.

"An alien? Or a visitor from another world? Haha, that's a funny joke. Even I, a living dead, am amused by you. Minister Wang, this person is either a madman or a fraud. You're all going around in circles for such a person, haha."

At that moment, a man who looked lifeless next to Wang Jianming suddenly laughed.

He didn't believe such an outrageous thing, so his laughter was full of mockery.

"This is not funny. How can you, a frog in a well, see the vastness of the world? And your wanton mockery of a strong person is a provocation in my eyes."

Li Yi glanced at the person and said, "Provocation comes at a price, so do you want to die?"

"I don't want to die, but I don't believe you can kill me." The man who called himself a living dead grinned. "I'm standing right here today. Use whatever methods you have. Everyone's watching, so don't disappoint me."

However, before he could finish speaking...

Li Yi suddenly extended a finger, and an extremely dazzling light condensed at the fingertip.

"Draw a river from the road!"

As the Daoist magic activated, he stretched out his finger and made a sweeping motion forward.

Suddenly.

A terrifying amount of Daoist energy, condensed to its extreme, appeared, but vanished the instant it appeared, as if a fleeting glimmer of light had arrived in an instant. This level of attack was not something an ordinary person could detect.

All they could see was a ray of light, nothing more.

After the light disappeared.

The man remained standing there, unharmed. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he burst into laughter again: "How did you manage to make your fingertips glow? Magic? Or some kind of special ability? But I was right, you can't kill me. You're a fraud."

Li Yi remained silent, simply watching him calmly.

After saying this, the man suddenly realized something was wrong, because he saw that Zhang Yan next to Li Yi had a blank expression and was looking behind him in shock.

Not only him, but everyone else was the same; even the armed men holding rifles were momentarily stunned and looked up at the sky.

Realizing something was wrong, he quickly turned around and looked back.

His eyes narrowed instantly, his expression one of horror. Behind him, an indescribable force had cleaved a gap at least ten meters wide through the earth, and this gap stretched straight out of the city, cutting off rivers and tearing mountains apart in its wake.

This crack, more than ten meters wide, stretched to the horizon, at least several tens of kilometers away.

And it's more than that.

The clouds in the sky were also cleaved at this moment, and a straight gap appeared in the sky, running from north to south, until it was out of reach.

This kind of power, capable of cleaving the sky and tearing the earth apart, is perhaps only possessed by legendary gods; mortals simply cannot imagine it.

After the initial shock...

Instead, there was trembling, shaking.

"I don't want to reveal too much power in your world, because your world can't withstand any disruption," Li Yi said slowly. He didn't kill the person in front of him.

The goal is not to kill, but to intimidate these people and make them believe in their own power.

However, after this attack, the power contained in Li Yi's clone was greatly depleted, which would shorten the time his clone could stay in this world, but it didn't matter.

He didn't come to this world for a vacation; even the remaining time is enough for him to finish what he needs to do.

"Is this the true power of Taiyi?" Zhang Yan's throat bobbed as he swallowed.

The power to control lightning had already overturned his understanding, but this scene made him truly understand what a humanoid natural disaster is, and what a world-destroying power that can change the world is.

With just a flick of his finger, heaven and earth were cleaved apart.

This kind of power would probably kill even the dead, let alone the living.

Minister Wang Jianming's forehead and back were covered in cold sweat.

He was now certain that this Taiyi was definitely not from this world, but a god from another world who had descended here. This matter was too great to be concerned with; it was enough to affect the fate of the entire world, and it was beyond the control of a mere minister like himself.

Compared to the harm caused by the dead, how to deal with this deity is the most important thing.

"Hey, are you kidding me? I just got back to the department and I saw someone cleave the sky and earth in two with a single stroke? Is this still the Huai Mu City I know? Am I trapped in a world of the dead, being misled by false memories?"

A young man dressed in funeral clothes, neither human nor ghost, arrived on a motorcycle, but he was stunned when he saw this scene.

I feel like there's something wrong with my brain and that I'm hallucinating.

"A living dead?" Li Yi glanced at it.

I roughly understand how this world works now. The dead interfere with the world of the living, and these so-called living dead are probably special people who deal with the dead, somewhat similar to ghost tamers.

However, they were not possessed by vengeful spirits, so they were not ghost tamers.

However, this did not prevent Li Yi from guessing their identities.

"Let someone of importance come and talk to me. I don't have the patience to waste on meaningless things. If you want to do something, do it quickly." Li Yi left these words and strode towards the building.

It was as if he were the master of this place, and everyone else was just a guest.

However, no one objected to Li Yi's behavior of usurping the host's position; in fact, they all thought it was perfectly reasonable.

"If the other party is a deity, then it should be a benevolent one, at least that stroke wasn't aimed at Huaimu City." Minister Wang Jianming secretly rejoiced at this moment.

If the other party is an evil god, then he doesn't even have the right to speak and will die immediately.
