After the Skyfall

Chapter 827 The Demise of the Clone
In the still of the night, strange noises emanated from the sealed-off building: the shrill cries of a little girl, the wails of a woman, and finally, with a piercing scream, the battle between the living and the dead had achieved some victory.

After the relentless efforts of the living dead, one of the dead was finally eliminated.

It was the most vicious male victim; this was the one who slashed Li Yi with a knife in the kitchen.

However, the living did not come without a price; at least three people were killed by the deceased.

But the danger was not over; the cries of the dead continued, but the odds of victory were much higher than before.

Through observation, Li Yi understood why the living dead could fight against the dead to some extent. He had seen the man with half his face charred briefly transform into a dead person and fight against the unseen spirit.

However, that state is difficult to maintain and lasts only a short time, less than ten seconds.

Moreover, once you exit that state, it's difficult to re-enter it in a short period of time, so other people need to take your place.

Only through such alternation can a dead person be erased.

"It really wasn't easy." After understanding the situation, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

As time passes little by little.

At one o'clock in the morning, several more undead died inside the building, but their deaths were not meaningless, as the woman's wails ceased.

The second dead person was erased, and in the end, only the girl who could only cry remained in the building.

Therefore, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

With continuous support, the survivors ultimately won.

The few surviving undead began to leave the building one after another. They were in terrible condition. Although they did not appear to be injured, they gave the impression of being covered in wounds.

Because the damage caused by the deceased is not manifested on the body and cannot be seen with the naked eye, but you can clearly feel the existence of the wound.

Moreover, this kind of injury is incurable and may even gradually worsen over time.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the injured person will die quickly within the next one or two years.

"It's over. The three dead in this haunted house have been eliminated."

The woman named Han Chuan now only had one eye left; her other eyeball had shattered, and one of her arms hung limply at her sides, unable to be lifted anymore.

"Hopefully, our sacrifice was worthwhile," another surviving undead said coldly.

Although the exact number wasn't calculated, this mission resulted in six or seven deaths and more than a dozen injuries, nearly wiping out two undead squads.

Only a nation has the capability to assemble so many experts.

Yang Hua, who was stationed next to the building, said with a stern face: "Everyone has seen your efforts. No one's sacrifice is in vain. In the future, all the living will remember you."

"The special source of the haunted house is the dead. Now that the dead are gone, the power of the haunted house will weaken, and this building will gradually return to its normal state," Han Chuan added.

She turned around to look at him.

The yellowish lights inside the building were rapidly going out, and some inexplicable atmosphere began to dissipate, making this once-special residential building start to blend in with the surrounding buildings.

But right now.

Through the empty windows of the building, they saw another scene, another world, strange and special, full of skyscrapers, full of futuristic science fiction, and vaguely, many streaks of light seemed to streak across the sky.

The others also witnessed this scene, and their expressions all changed.

However, Yang Hua remained calm. He knew that it was not an illusion, but a corner of another world. It was just that the special nature of the haunted house had brought the two worlds into contact.

The power of the haunted house is now fading, which is why the situation in the other world has only briefly become apparent.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, precisely covering the building behind them where the battle had just ended.

The building was completely obliterated by the lightning, leaving not a single fragment, only a huge, charred crater in its place.

The people around were so shocked by this power that they retreated one after another, because they could feel how terrifying its power was. Just a wisp of its power would be enough to make them disappear from this world completely, leaving no trace of their bodies.

"You did a great job and successfully fulfilled the agreement."

Li Yi's voice came along with the lightning. He sat on auspicious clouds, and his originally clear figure was gradually becoming illusory, as if he would disappear from this world at any moment.

"this is what we are supposed to do."

Yang Hua forced himself to calm down, and squinted slightly in the lightning: "But Mr. Taiyi, you seem to be acting a little strange." "Don't be nervous, I am just an avatar formed from magical power. The real me did not descend into your world. The purpose of this avatar is to destroy this interdimensional point. Now that the matter is accomplished, I have no reason to remain," Li Yi said.

A clone?
Everyone looked up sharply at the figure on the auspicious cloud.

What a joke.

This being, capable of destroying the world and resembling a god, is merely an insignificant clone.

Yang Hua also froze on the spot, looking equally astonished.

Li Yi continued, "As I said, if you can successfully accomplish this, I will give you a gift before I leave. I can't take this with me, so I'll leave it here for you to use."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a storage ring fell from the sky, turning into a beam of light and flying towards Yang Hua.

Yang Hua took the light and looked at the ancient ring in his hand with some surprise.

“Mr. Taiyi, perhaps we can continue our conversation. There’s no need to rush to leave. For the people of this world, your existence might be an opportunity to change the lives of the living and the dead.”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Saving the world is what you should do, not me. I have seen too much despair in too many worlds. In your world, hope outweighs despair, which is already quite good. Don't think about relying on power that doesn't belong to this world. It's not a good thing for you."

He didn't linger too long.

The remaining power of this clone transformed into a dragon-tiger force that surged towards the heavens.

"Ow!"

A deafening dragon roar resounded, and Li Yi's body vanished, replaced by a silver dragon that roared and surged towards the sky, as if to shatter the heavens and earth.

The final burst of power shook the heavens and earth.

All the surviving undead, along with those who had sealed off the area, looked up in utter shock at the silver dragon roaring away in the sky, and they felt a chill run down their spines.

The gap in the level of life was magnified infinitely at this moment.

At the same time, the appearance of this creature, which they had never seen before, deeply shocked them. Perhaps this was the true appearance of Taiyi, and the previous human appearance was just a disguise.

The silver dragon broke through the clouds and plunged into space before finally exhausting its power, transforming into streaks of lightning and disappearing from the world without leaving a trace.

"Have they left?"

On a road in the blockade zone, Zhao Hongjie, the leader, got out of a car and looked up at the silver dragon disappearing into the distance, a look of loneliness and regret in his eyes.

Such a godlike figure, it's a pity he didn't want to stay in this world for long.

Otherwise, this battle between the living and the dead would surely have ended.

"Such astonishing divine power, and it's just an avatar? This doesn't seem like something that can be achieved through simple cultivation and evolution. Indeed, mortals know far too little about the gods."

Subsequently, Zhao Hongjie received some news and saw the words Li Yi left before leaving, which shocked him even more.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like if the other party were to actually appear.

However, the gains this time were still considerable.

After those phones were successfully charged, their artificial intelligence was activated, and many technological bottlenecks were broken through overnight. I believe that with this achievement, the country will usher in a tremendous change.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Hongjie's lips.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to thank Taiyi in person.

After Li Yi's clone dissipated, his consciousness returned instantly.

At this moment, in the old city area of ​​Tianchang City.

Li Yi, who was above the auspicious cloud, suddenly opened his eyes. Then he saw the residential building in front of him begin to collapse rapidly after losing the support of some kind of power.

"It seems my clone got things done smoothly, taking only two days."

Li Yi thought to himself that he didn't know what the clone had gone through or what had happened, because the memories couldn't be shared between the two worlds. He only knew that the clone had perished.

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what happens in the process.

However, Li Yi was also certain that there was indeed some trouble in that world; otherwise, his clone would have returned by now and wouldn't have died there.
