Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Li Yelai placed the bronze arrow into his storage space. This was a gift from the wandering knight, and also a trump card that could instantly kill a powerful enemy!
A single arrow can instantly kill a hegemon and injure even a supreme being.

Even just one is enough to turn the tide.

If there are enough of them, they could even kill a supreme being.

"The more of this kind of devastating weapon, the better!" Jing Lin exclaimed in surprise after fully understanding its power. "Isn't this much more useful than the blessings of other Chaos Gods? Please, Fifth God, bestow a few more blessings upon us!"

“The battlefield where our lord is located is too far away from us. This is a blessing bestowed from countless worlds.” Yunyue shook her head helplessly: “Moreover, the current rangers are weak. Compared with the Chaos faction, the number of Azure Flame Chosen is too small.”

Yun Yue looked at Li Yelai with a somewhat complicated expression: "After all, under the influence of the Book of Destiny, too many people have gone through different fates or even become enemies."

Li Yelai nodded silently upon hearing this.

This includes Li Yelai, and even many powerful figures such as their enemy He Lan.

In their original destiny, they would all become wilderness wanderers, and thus worship the Lord of Azure Flames.

However, in order to suppress the beliefs of the wandering knights and the Lord of Azure Flames, the Celestial Walker used the Book of Destiny to alter the fates of many people.

They all missed the opportunity to become wandering knights for various reasons.

Like Li Yelai, or rather, the Li Yelai who originally became the Dawn Lord in the original timeline!
Some even went so far as to become enemies of the wandering knights.

On that timeline, there was a wandering knight who fought to the death for humanity. Now, He Lan has become an enemy.

These factors also contributed to the slow development of the game.

Recently, the Rangers have partnered with several major cities, and more and more humans have ignited the Azure Flame, leading to their rapid development. However, their scale is still incomparable to the factions of the Four Chaos Gods.

As far as Li Yelai knew, there were nearly twenty Blood God Chosen in the Asian region alone.

This was after Li Ye had already killed three people. Then, within six months, two more "chosen ones" appeared. One of them even returned.

As for Qingyan, Li Yelai only knew that Yunyue and Chuhe were chosen by the gods. The former traveled through the wilderness, rescuing humans from injustice and oppression. The latter was trapped in the Lost Land, leading his people in a desperate struggle for survival.

Of course, this is also related to the Azure Flame Lord's extreme racial fastidiousness. Other Chaos factions, regardless of whether they are humans, beings from forbidden zones, pure-blooded beings from forbidden zones, or even highly intelligent extraordinary beings, are all targets of the Chaos factions' corruption; they accept all comers without discrimination.

The Lord of Azure Flames, however, only sets his sights on humanity.

Legend has it that during the bloody battles within the forbidden zones, some humans from those zones prayed to the Lord of Azure Flames. They received no response; or perhaps they were glanced at but then withdrew.

This is also why their faith spreads slowly; the human population in the Forbidden Zone is vast, and the beings within it possess various technologies. If they were brought under their control, their strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically. However, they are not human, and that is their original sin.

According to reports from within the Chaos faction, the Lord of Azure Flame did indeed have the extraordinary feat of making trillions of alien races believe in him, and then causing them all to commit suicide.

As a result, in the eyes of the alien races, the fifth god was far more terrifying than the old four gods. They had never seen anyone kill their own followers like this.

This has certainly opened the eyes of the veteran Four Gods.

Then, Li Ye looked at Yun Yue and asked, "How long will your curse last?"

“One to three days.” Yun Yue drank the second bowl of hot soup handed to her by the doll, gave the doll a grateful smile, and replied, “It depends on the intensity of my battle. The more I consume, the longer it lasts, and the more difficult the chill will be to get rid of.”

"This time, although we wiped out a few creatures from the forbidden zones, it wasn't considered a high-intensity attack. It took about two days," Yunyue explained. "Today is the second day."

“Then please move into the reception area prepared for us by the Mo family. I can suppress you within a hundred meters.” Li Ye said, “It’s a pity that we can’t take out the Divine Demon Tablets. Otherwise, each of you could have one, and the Old Mad King could fight to his heart’s content.”

"Thank you very much." Yunyue nodded. "You've been a great help."

Jing Lin then asked, "By the way, Lord Yunyue, how do you usually deal with curses when they are triggered?"

“I’ll just have to tough it out. Although the psionic barrier will be frozen and slowed down, I’m a psionicist on the True Martial Path, and my blood and energy are strong enough.” Yun Yue said, “Moreover, at that time, my psionic energy actually took on some freezing effects. Although it’s not suitable, I can still fight.”

"A periodic curse? That's not good for long battles," Cheese said. "How about trying to warm up with secret treasures or forbidden items?"

“There isn’t a suitable one right now, but maybe we can find one later. Of course, if circumstances allow, I can ask the champion to suppress the curse.” Yun Yue paused, then didn’t continue.

Because, in that future that has already been altered.

When her curse is triggered, she can snuggle into that person's arms and enjoy their warm body temperature.
But all of that has vanished like smoke.

“Then let’s review the plan again,” Li Yelai said. “The Chaos Faction is already tracking the caravan. Once they board the merchant ship, I will also set off for the Immortal Faction’s fleet. I will ensure that I intervene as soon as the opportunity arises. The Little Mad King will lie in wait by my side to provide support.”

Yun Yue glanced at the little mad king in the corner and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"What's the official explanation for the sudden disappearance of the ninth champion?" Jing Lin asked.

"To become a hegemon." Li Yelai smiled and said, "As everyone knows, I am only one step away from becoming a hegemon, just one opportunity that may come at any time. This statement is appropriate and not abrupt."

"After all, it's something subjective, and no one can be certain. It's true that you can avoid being watched. It wouldn't be surprising if you appeared anywhere afterward," Yunyue nodded.

"After that, the opportunity will appear. At that time, the champion team will release the news that I, who am about to be promoted, have gone to the place where the opportunity is located to take advantage of the opportunity to promote myself. This will guide the travelers to take action." Li Yelai continued, "At the same time, the champion team will also set off for the place of opportunity."

"Plus, the Ma family you invited, our Jing family, and the wandering knights who came. Let's trap them and beat them! I just advanced to the sixth level of awakening not long ago, so let me have a taste of the good life." Jing Lin's eyes gleamed. A few days ago, he finally advanced to the sixth level of awakening. He was itching to get his hands dirty.

"Speaking of which, we have a lot to do with Captain Yang Chen. Because of his 'good deeds,' many families have come to learn from him, and they can also be regarded as combat power."

"But with so many people around, it's easy for travelers to hide among them," Yunyue cautioned.

"Yes, that's the general plan, but the travelers are still hiding in the shadows. We must remain vigilant," Li Yelai said. "In the Land of Opportunity, I will make full use of the Chaos Legion to wear them down. Your task is to ensure that none of them escape!"

“Lin Ge’er, Yun Yue. The three of us can keep in touch through the Ark at any time,” Li Ye said. “This is a rare opportunity. We can catch fish this time, but they might not take the bait next time.”

"Don't worry, Brother Ye." Jing Lin grinned, "I brought quite a few good fighters with me, and I even managed to coax that Jing Liang over."

Yun Yue nodded in agreement: "If handled properly, there will still be a chance. Eliminating or sealing you is their primary task. Otherwise, they will no longer be able to change their fate at will. To possess such a treasure as the Book of Destiny but be unable to use it is more painful than killing them."

After finalizing the plan, everyone went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, as expected, Wei Yang received news that a ranger might be arriving.

Although they are mortal enemies, the relatively young Goat among the twelve Earthly Branches has only clashed with the Wanderer a few times. Before she matured, the Wanderer had already been defeated and was no longer at her peak.

"Rangers... they're actually from the same origin. The early Rangers were all geniuses predicted by the Book of Destiny. They were indeed powerful back then. Without the Book of Destiny's assistance, we might not have been able to win."

And since then, they've been out of danger. Many powerful individuals who should have become rangers had their fates altered, either becoming our people or powerful figures in other factions. Even though that old fox who witnessed it realized what was happening and protected the remaining rangers, their power was ultimately too weak.

Wei Yang laughed and said, "Now, we are only able to catch our breath because we have latched onto the thigh of the Chaos God. There is nothing to fear."

"We should still be careful, sir. After all, they are followers of that Fifth God, a Fifth God who could directly bring about the destruction of the world," a Star Walker whispered.

The Celestial Traveler wanders beyond the world, encountering countless secrets and acquiring a powerful, unknown legacy.

Naturally, it also obtained records of certain civilizations.

In a distant time and space, in a certain virtual realm, there exists a powerful civilization with a complete pantheon.

The gods sit high on their thrones, while mortals prostrate themselves on the ground, building magnificent altars and immortal temples for them. Their power is like a surging tide, radiating across the surrounding world, conquering, invading, and annexing, invincible in its path.

However, among the slaves it kept, a single, indomitable flame once ignited.

This tiny spark eventually ignited into a raging inferno of mortal fury that swept across the divine realm.

The statues crumbled, the temple collapsed, and even the boundless ocean seemed to boil and burn. It was as if the entire starry sea was about to be ignited!

However, this pantheon civilization had a deep foundation and terrifying resources. After being baptized by blood and fire, it finally extinguished the rebellious blue flames.

Even before the embers of victory had cooled.

The calamity of world destruction descends from the highest heaven!
It was an arrow that transcended dimensional barriers and disregarded the distance of space and time. It came from an unknowable height, piercing through galaxies and tearing apart the void, annihilating this powerful civilization that looked down upon all realms the instant before it could even perceive its existence.

On that day, the mighty gods perished, and the vast world was destroyed.

Only the remaining alien servants or those with diluted bloodlines managed to survive and escape.

Eventually, after a long drift, it became a forbidden zone in this world.

"Destroying what you can't have, what a domineering and capricious god of chaos!" Wei Yang scoffed. "He's an evil god after all."

"But now the distance is too great, and besides, He still has to face the encirclement and suppression of the four old Chaos Gods. In this world, He couldn't do that!"

Then, Wei Yang asked, "How's the guidance task going?"

“It has already begun. Once they reach the correct location, the opportunity will appear. However, the Chaos faction seems to have discovered their trail and is tracking them,” the traveler said.

"It's all part of the plan, and Di Yun certainly won't miss this opportunity." Wei Yang said calmly, "They were already responsible for guiding Di Yun. It's all part of the plan."

“Yes, therefore, we did not interfere,” Starwalker said. “And as long as the opportunity arises, the nearest megacity will be Border City No. 1. The champion located in Border City No. 1 will inevitably go there to investigate or conquer it.”

"That is the grave he chose. The fallen Emperor of God, many chosen people, nobles of the forbidden zone, and us." Wei Yang chuckled: "I heard he was a handsome man? If we can capture him alive, it would be good to use him for experiments on Si She."

"Indeed, but the risk is too great. Let's kill him first. If we can completely cripple him, we can consider capturing him." The Star Walker thought to himself, it would be better to die quickly than to be captured and studied by the Snake.

"Well, he's a hero in name only. Let him have a dignified ending," Wei Yang said. "What about the other teams?"

"The arrival times are all around the same. No problem."

"Alright," said Wei Yang. "When the time comes, keep your eyes wide open and remember that scene. What a glorious death!"

On the third day, Li Yelai received a coded message from Chaos.

'The caravan has boarded!'

Or perhaps to avoid alerting the giant city, the meeting point for the ships was on the coastline far from the first border city.

The mixed caravan boarded two merchant ships and, without prior arrangement, abandoned the relatively safe sea route, heading instead towards the deeper sea.

The Chaos followers who were secretly tracking him immediately sent out intelligence.

That afternoon, news spread throughout Border City No. 1.

Having conquered the calamity of the fog, the ninth-generation champion Li Yelai is about to ascend to the position of overlord; the opportunity seems to have arrived. He has been isolated from all contact with the outside world.

This delighted the psionic families and clans here. They even prepared congratulatory gifts.

The Hong family is even preparing a grand celebration banquet for the champion.

Unbeknownst to them, they were congratulating the champion they had been hoping for.

On that very day, he had already disguised himself and left the giant city.

On a coast more than 40 kilometers from Border Town No. 1, a man wearing a straw hat and cloak boarded a small boat, surrounded by several scavengers.

The small sampan drifted towards the sea, the eerie currents making it move at an extremely fast speed.

Half an hour later, it arrived at a large fleet hidden in the sea fog.

And the moment the man stepped onto the deck of the fleet flagship.

Countless Taoist figures bowed their heads.

"Greetings, Lord Emperor Yun!"

Under his straw hat, Li Yelai took a deep breath.

The rich, salty smell of the sea, along with a hint of cool, subtle fragrance, filled my nostrils.

"very good."

"Gentlemen, I will lead you to victory!" (End of Chapter)
