Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 644 Using yourself as bait
Seeing that Li Yelai was no longer pursuing the matter, the person holding the book nodded: "But there is one thing I need to point out. There are variables within the Giant City Circle where you are. Therefore, the opportunities in that area may be affected."

"You mean the ninth-generation champion?" Li Yelai said, "No wonder you were willing to give up this opportunity. It turns out you couldn't control it precisely anymore. You had no choice but to abandon your plans for this opportunity and treat it as a supplement. Hehe."

“That’s right, that’s one reason.” The book holder admitted it readily: “The original plan was for several powerful humans and nobles from the forbidden zone to jointly open the restrictions. But now, we can’t guarantee that they will arrive on time as planned.”

This is indeed the truth, and this is the danger of variables.

As long as there are variables, the resulting variations will cause everything he influences to have flaws in its destiny.

Especially after this disaster fog.

Some who should have perished in the fog of disaster or the River Styx have survived. The resulting chain reaction will further amplify the impact.

The fates of too many people involved have been altered.

Although the Book of Destiny is making every effort to revise it, it still cannot guarantee the success rate of certain plans.

For the Book of Destiny, the dangers of variables are too great. The area he was in had become an uncontrollable factor.

Rather than giving up this opportunity, it's better to do a favor.

Perhaps Emperor's Fall could acquire more resources by making advance arrangements.

Anyway, they've stopped expecting anything; without expectations, there will be no disappointment.

This is the attitude of the Celestial Walker towards variables after the disaster fog.

Do not expect any opportunities in that area until all variables are completely eliminated.

"This opportunity, while not as dangerous and hopeless as the Calamity Fog or the River Styx, will have many competitors. Moreover, it's not too far from Border City Number One. It might even attract the champion. You should decide for yourself," the book-holder said. "I will provide you with the means to unlock certain opportunities. The rest is up to you."

Then, the person holding the book produced a piece of animal skin and a lion head the size of a basketball, with a ripple of space in their hand.

"This is the way to unlock some of these opportunities." The person holding the book flicked his hand, and the lion head, carrying the animal skin paper in its mouth, floated into the air and landed in front of Li Yelai: "And this is my other compensation."

"The secret treasure, the Devouring Beast. It can release disruptive sounds for assistance, and can also store the abilities of five different dream paths at the same time, which can be released at any time. It can also perform a powerful devouring attack to seize items, and even enemy weapons. It has about fifty cubic meters of folded space inside for storage."

The Devouring Beast, with the animal skin paper in its mouth, landed in front of Li Yelai.

Li Yelai picked it up and examined it. The effect was quite good; the ability of the Whispering Path was arguably the best aid, capable of storing five abilities, greatly increasing the user's margin for error.

The beast who holds the book, with the assistance of the Book of Destiny, has mastered the methods of creating many secret treasures and has also obtained many legacies from different civilizations.

The craftsmanship involved in the secret treasures is truly amazing, damned beast.
"It can be used once infused with spiritual energy; it can be considered as a means of control. However, if you encounter a powerful spiritualist with a divine control path, it might be cracked, so be careful," the book-holder cautioned. "As for the stored babbling ability, given your status, you should be able to easily find the most suitable one."

Li Yelai nodded: "It'll do, but we'll still have to see how your so-called opportunity turns out."

"This should be more than enough to meet your expectations, and might even be the opportunity for you to ascend to the position of overlord," the book holder replied. "However, you may encounter the ninth champion during this operation."

"Do you want me to help you kill him?" Li Yelai put the Devouring Beast into his storage space.

"For him, I'll choose a saturation assassination. So, you'll have allies, and the nobles of the forbidden zone will be eager to kill him. Plus my men."

Wow, a saturation assassination? They're even planning to shake the Heavenly Evolution Walkers?
Okay, okay, now that you're here, don't leave!
Li Yelai sneered inwardly. The Heavenly Evolution Walker and the Wilderness Wanderer were actually people the Book Holder and the Witness sought out and nurtured through the Book of Destiny.

Among them are many talented geniuses; the Ranger, who served on the Ark, is more famous.

He was the most famous bounty hunter of that era; while he couldn't be said to kill on the spot, he was extremely efficient.

After the witnesses and the holders of the book fell out because of the Book of Destiny.

Many wilderness rangers perished in battle or retired, while the remaining rangers gradually came to believe in the Lord of Azure Flames and embarked on different paths. However, the quality of these rangers varied greatly, with a mix of good and bad, and some were even imposters. Therefore, their reputation was not good.

The Celestial Walkers vanished without a trace; neither the giant city nor the Chaos faction had any information about them.

They are an organization that walks in the shadows, silently manipulating what they call destiny; they are incredibly mysterious. Even their arch-enemies, the Wilderness Rangers, find it difficult to locate them.

Now, they're really getting desperate, and they're about to slip up.

Inside the giant city, they naturally dared not make a move. But once the champion left the giant city, they probably couldn't hold back any longer.

It seems a fishing trip is necessary.
Li Yelai made up his mind in an instant, and a pleasant feeling emerged in his mind.

"If you succeed, I'm willing to give you a generous reward, and even let you use the Book of Destiny once," the book holder said. "The premise is that after witnessing the strength of the Ninth Champion, do you still have the will to fight? You cooperated in the fog of disaster, are you still willing to raise your sword against him?"

"Ha, trying to provoke me?" Li Yelai sneered, "Are you underestimating Blood God's Blade? The ninth champion is a nobody who sells his head on a platter! Once I become a hegemon, I will make trouble for him."

The book's owner naturally didn't believe it, but there was no need to expose it.

"That's good."

Then, the person holding the book turned into a beam of white light and disappeared.

Upon returning to their base, the book holder's companion asked, "What did Emperor Yan say?"

“He was given some benefits to appease him,” the book holder replied. “His ability to emerge from the fog of disaster does warrant further nurturing.”

"Did you inform him about the island?"

"Very well, there are variables. The inheritance there may not fall into the hands of the person we choose. Perhaps we should give it to Emperor Yan."

"Unfortunately, he is located in a border city area. Defense is affected by unforeseen circumstances."

"It's alright. From another perspective, his appearance can increase our success rate in eliminating the variable." The book-holder said calmly, "Summon the travelers. Let them fight once again for destiny, for humanity!"

Meanwhile, Li Ye returned to the warehouse in Bashu Mountain City.

He opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Come on, everyone!"

Using himself as bait, he slaughtered the demons!

(I'm going to continue coding now, please don't wait, it might be very late.)
