The Post Sky Tipping Era

Inside the lobby of the Peace Finance Building.

Everyone sat on sofas and chairs, listening to Li Yi recount his recent cross-border experience. This type of intelligence was not confidential, and it was harmless to share since it was highly unlikely that the next cross-border journey would enter the same world. Even if there was a chance to return, all such intelligence would be disclosed before crossing.

Li Yi’s story was not long, but it made everyone’s expression turn grave.

"A world inhabited only by fierce ghosts, and these ghosts can’t be killed?"

"A force in the Soul Realm was actually killed by a piece of clothing? That’s too much like a farce."

"Ghost Tamer, city manager... Ghost Post Office. Li Yi, your experiences over these three months have indeed been fraught with danger. No one could have imagined that a world of mere ordinary people could conceal such immense perils."

After hearing his story, everyone was deeply moved.

However, Lin Yue frowned and said, "Li Yi, you were really unlucky in your cross-border trip, being led astray by that captain named Zhang Xun. You shouldn’t have had to deal with supernatural incidents or met the city manager, much less gotten involved in delivering mail for the Ghost Post Office... If you hadn’t participated in those, you could have safely gotten through the three months, especially since it’s a place where most ordinary people can survive, and those extremely dangerous fierce ghosts are few."

"That’s true, but after staying there for three months, I gradually found that the supernatural elements of that world were becoming uncontrollable, with dangers spreading. Even with the efforts of Ghost Tamers, the situation seemed desperate and was not getting resolved at the root, much like the ongoing Sky Tipping events in our world. Even if one Transcendent Creature is dealt with, more will eventually invade," said Li Yi.

"It’s exactly this unending succession of disasters that compels us Cultivators to want to cross borders and leave," Li Yi added.

"I think that world is in even worse shape than ours. If a few top-tier forces in our world could harness the global Cosmic Energy to forcefully lock the cross-border gates, we could restore peace and safety. But the world you spoke about, World 36, is different. The undying nature of its ghosts means they will always exist, even if controlled for decades. After a period, they’d erupt again, until one day, when the supernatural can no longer be contained, and that world would be utterly doomed," Li Yi concluded.
