Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Surrounded by a dozen demon generals including Baiya, Yumian, and Duci, the great Emperor's Chosen entered the warship's cabin.

They were all demon generals from two major factions, under the command of different branches of the chosen gods.

At this moment, they were chosen by the gods to assist Emperor Yan.

They clearly went to great lengths to entertain Li Yelai.

Li Yelai was able to experience the luxury in the warship's dining room.

The soft carpets and floors, even the decorations, all came from various extraordinary creatures and spiritual plants.

The chair that Li Yelai was sitting on was made from a rare spiritual plant, carved from its entire heartwood.

Sitting on it, even the flow of psionic energy seemed much smoother.

It's truly luxurious, and far superior to the so-called sofas made from the most tender skin of dozens of young girls, which belong to the Bliss faction.

The latter was too perverse; no matter how artistic it was, Li Yelai still found it perverse.

It seems that the immortality faction has studied Li Yelai's preferences.

It's rare to find it this clean.

Li Yelai took off his bamboo hat and placed it aside.

He nodded to the immortal demon general Poison Sting who was standing to one side and said, "You did a good job."

"Your praise is my greatest honor." The Poison Sting Demon General bowed respectfully.

Li Yelai's gaze swept across the cabin. He saw the spreading veins on the wall.
The warships of the immortal faction are more like some kind of creature, a mixture of flesh and metal.

Or rather, strange flesh and blood sprouted on the original warship, spreading bizarre flesh and blood tissues. Like parasitic vines, they were deeply embedded in the hull, twisting and throbbing, forming a chilling symbiosis with the cold mechanical structure.

The immortal faction's crew members used this to aid their manipulation.

Biological warships might actually be considered biological entities.

As Li Yelai stepped onto the deck, he could vaguely sense the warship breathing and pulsating.

They really are the Chaos Cult, possessing blasphemous and bizarre technology.

In this situation, it would be very risky for Little Mad King to hide among them.

Li Yelai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does this warship possess a machine spirit?"

“Of course, Lord Emperor Fall. But under our biological parasitism technology, the machine spirits will be very obedient.” The Poison Sting Demon General spoke: “Just now, the machine spirit of this flagship emitted an unusual vibration. It was to welcome your arrival.”

Welcome? Li Yelai chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "You've probably misunderstood."

The machine spirit must have sensed some kind of threat to have reacted.

However, that's fine, at least the warship itself won't be able to detect Little Mad King's infiltration.

For example, right now, that cool and aloof aura is right around them, but none of the many demon generals present realize that a top assassin is right in front of them.

So Li Yelai composed himself and asked, "What's the current status of those two merchant ships?"

"After leaving the sea trade route, they ventured deeper into the sea. They maintained a distance of about five kilometers from each other, and seemed somewhat wary," Bai Ya said.

As Li Yelai's only two demon generals.

Baiya considered himself to be the closest person to Emperor Yun.

He naturally took over the entire intelligence network.

At this moment, she was quite excited; she had been waiting for this moment for too long.

Emperor Yun went undercover in the giant city and became the human champion.

This also caused her to completely miss the opportunity to fight alongside him.

At that time, amidst the calamity, she led the Plague Knights, weaving through the Styx army of the dead. She had absolutely no chance to get close to Lord Emperor of Fallen Souls.

Now that Lord Emperor has returned, her desire can finally be fulfilled.

Looking at Li Yelai's handsome face, Bai Ya tried hard to suppress his excitement.

“That’s normal. They come from different forbidden zones. There’s no conflict between them for now, but they’re definitely not friends either. This time, they’re just cooperating after learning about the prophecy,” Li Yelai said. “Don’t lose them. Follow them, and you’ll find the opportunity. Make sure you get there before they do.”

“Yes, our sentries will never be discovered,” the Poison Sting Demon General laughed.

"Be careful. The technical skills in the restricted area should not be underestimated," Li Yelai warned.

"Yes!"

"If they continue forward, will they enter the restricted areas of some underwater no-go zones?" Li Yelai continued to ask.

“If we continue deeper into that sea area, both the Forbidden Zone – the Throat of Return to Nothingness and the Burial Abyss of Gods have been active there. The level of danger is quite high. Among them, the Throat of Return to Nothingness is closer and may be a strong contender for the opportunity,” Sting said. “We have had contact with the Throat of Return to Nothingness, but in most cases, we have remained uninvolved.”

"The Throat of the Ruins." Li Yelai pondered, "How much do you know about it? How strong is it?"

“The forbidden zones in the ocean are often more powerful than those on land. There are suspected to be two kings of the forbidden zones, and possibly more,” Stinger explained. “Without the confrontation and suppression of human megacities, their range of activity has expanded to an enormous extent, which is why the ocean is dangerous. Who knows what powerful marine supernatural creatures might be wandering under our ship.”

In places like Black Source City and Heavenly Realm, the existence of human mega-cities has restricted their range of activity. Humans still have some safe areas.

But where would a giant city on the seabed come from? A dragon palace?
Moreover, the number and variety of extraordinary creatures in the ocean are no less than, if not greater than, those on land.

The Burial Abyss and the Throat of Return to Nothingness are deep-sea forbidden zones near the Asian continent. The two forbidden zones are constantly at odds, but neither has ever seen a large-scale battle erupt.

According to intelligence from the Immortal Faction, the last major battle between the two forbidden zones was twelve years ago.

A supreme battle erupted.

The supreme merman from the throat of the void, wielding a trident, battles a giant sea monster over three hundred meters long.

In the same year, Border City No. 1 was hit by a massive tsunami. Fortunately, it was protected by high walls and did not suffer too much damage.

"In short, let's treat them as a hypothetical enemy for now. We should try our best to negotiate," Li Yelai said. "If they don't give us face and still want to get involved, then don't blame us."

“Yes! Our Immortal Faction isn’t without friends in the deep sea region. Many extraordinary sea beast groups are on friendly terms with us,” said the Poison Sting Demon General. “They will consider this carefully.”

Next came the deployment of troops.

The chosen ones were indeed preoccupied with various 'things' and unable to come to their aid, but they mostly dispatched their own demon generals or elite troops.

Now, in this room, besides Baiya and Yumian, there are sixteen demon generals who represent the assistance of sixteen chosen gods from two factions.

More than 5,000 vampires and more than 4,000 plague riders.

Now, they have all boarded the fleet, ready to charge for Lord Emperor's Fall at any time.

It may not seem like much, but you have to understand how many Vampires or Plague Knights a typical branch can control.

Within the Chaos faction, even within the same faction, there are distinctions of rank.

Only by controlling more resources and having more followers in their branch can they create more elite forces. It's not that these are special branch; having two or three thousand vampires would be considered quite good development.

If one were to be on good terms with a Chaos Demon or a Chaos Prince and possess a Chaos Sacred Artifact, that would already be extraordinary!

If back then, Li Yelai had truly been corrupted and become the chosen one.

Instead of returning to the giant city to infiltrate, he went somewhere else to establish his own branch and become a local tyrant.

They probably don't have many vampires on hand.

It's quite a favor that they're willing to offer these.

This doesn't even include the fleet assistance from the Immortal Faction itself.

As for the Chaos Artifacts, Li Yelai obtained one from the Blood God faction within the Calamity Mist, and he also possessed one from the Bliss faction.

At White Cliff, there are still Chaos Artifacts belonging to the Immortal Faction. The Immortal Faction has not retrieved them.

Those are three Chaos Artifacts. That's about it.

As for the offerings, if the Burial God Abyss and the Throat of Return to Nothingness truly intend to intervene.

The legions of Chaos will surely be able to create enough blood sacrifices!
After confirming the fleet's combat strength, the welcome banquet came to an end.

An immortal demon general beckoned, and a group of women dressed in revealing clothes, with beautiful faces and hot figures, entered the room.

Well, this is a demon general from Rhodo's chosen forces, whose views on the doctrine of immortality are the same as Rhodo's.

In fact, if it weren't for Baiya's cold stare...

The female demon generals from different chosen gods also wanted to get closer to Li Yelai.

It could be a command from their respective gods, or it could simply be for the purpose of flattery or ingratiation.

All I can say is that they really want to improve.

The current Emperor's Fall is highly sought after by both factions.

After all, there are rumors that Lord Emperor Yun is possibly chosen by the Four Gods, the eternal chosen one!
Following behind Lord Di Yun is definitely worth it.

"My lord, please rest assured, they are all clean," the Immortal Demon General whispered.

These female believers used various methods to please Li Yelai.

Furthermore, it seems that the makeup intentionally imitates cheese and dolls, as well as the legendary fallen chosen maid 'Red Makeup'.

This made Bai Ya's expression somewhat unpleasant.

Fortunately, they didn't do anything drastic like disguises or plastic surgery.

Otherwise, it would be very easy for Li Yelai to smear it on the deck.

Li Yelai could only wave his hand in response: "Alright, step back and rest. Stay alert. You're obviously one of Brother Luo Duo's men!"

"Your insight is truly remarkable, my lord," the demon general chuckled. "If you require anything, please feel free to ask. Lord Rhodo specifically instructed me to treat you with the utmost hospitality. Also, Lord Rhodo asked me to convey that he already has four children. A fifth child is about to be born, and has already received the blessing of our Lord."

"Wow, amazing! I'll give him a red envelope sometime." Li Yelai couldn't help but marvel at how low the probability of a psychic having offspring was. The fact that he could father so many children was truly impressive.

Subsequently, after Li Yelai left.

The demon general then spoke to Bai Ya, "Bai Ya, the Hong Zhuang who died back then was the personal maid mentioned in the intelligence. Just what did she look like? Why don't you even look at these people, sir?"

"Get out!" Bai Ya said coldly, "Don't pollute the eyes of adults with this filth."

"Oh, you're being possessive of your food now?"

"Baiya, your thoughts are not pure, they are not very pure."

Several demon generals made jokes.

On the other side, Li Yelai arrived at the cabin prepared for him by the fleet. The room was still extremely luxurious, giving Li Yelai the illusion that he was on an Ark or a luxury cruise ship.

After Li Yelai dismissed the servants and closed the gate...

A tall figure suddenly appeared behind him; it was none other than Little Mad King.

The demon generals were completely unaware that a top assassin was following closely behind Li Yelai.

Sitting on the large bed, which was over three meters long and wide, the Little Mad King inspected every corner and said, "It seems they've inquired about you and know you don't like being disturbed. The whole room is very 'clean'."

“Back then, I was just a newly chosen god, and they still had doubts about me. But now, I am the eternal chosen god, and they dare not offend me even more,” Li Yelai responded.

Little Mad King nodded, then sat down on the sofa beside him: "Same as always, you rest first, I'll keep watch."

"Thank you for your help, teammate."

"What do you mean? Sharing a room with you?" Little Mad King thought for a moment and then shook his head: "You know I don't care about that."

"Then you'd better take it seriously," Li Yelai sighed helplessly.

"Teammate," Little Mad King replied, "Stop lecturing me."

I don't know when it started, the disaster fog? Or even earlier?
Rumors began to circulate in the giant city about him and the Little Mad King.

Then, amidst the fog of disaster, the second-generation champion, who claimed to dislike gossip but secretly distorted his magnetic field to eavesdrop on it, amplified the rumor.

Li Yelai clarified the situation many times, but Xiao Kuangwang acted as if nothing had happened. It was as if the rumors weren't about her.

Well, because of the curse, she probably didn't believe her.

In her value system, completing the task is the highest priority, and she is willing to sacrifice other things, including chastity and reputation, in order to complete the task.

Therefore, she could sleep beside Li Yelai without any worries, breathing steadily, her body relaxed, and completely unguarded against him.

Naturally, they no longer cared about any rumors. They were just insignificant winds passing by their ears.

Li Yelai dared not even imagine that anyone she collaborated with harbored even a trace of filthy, wicked thoughts.

Having discovered her 'numbness'—her willingness to set no boundaries in order to complete tasks—what kind of filthy and desperate quagmire will she fall into?
What's even more suffocating is that she herself is cursed with distrust. Even if something does happen, it will be assumed that 'she seduced me,' and others will believe it without question.

"Sigh," Li Yelai sighed.

"Most of these demon generals are at the sixth level of awakening, so they're not too dangerous. Only a few have reached the overlord level, so we need to be careful." Little Mad King ignored the previous topic and said, "I need to find an opportunity to investigate the internal structure of the warship and understand the technological capabilities of the Chaos Faction."

Li Yelai nodded: "That's not difficult. As the only chosen one in the fleet, I face no resistance in inspecting the warships. Until I turn against them, I will be their supreme leader."

"Well, then all that's left is to wait," said Little Mad King. "Wait for the opportunity to open up. And, for the subsequent evacuation route. If we fail to reunite with our comrades and cannot get support, we'll have to go to land on our own."

“That’s my forte,” Li Yelai said with a smile. “Kunpeng isn’t just about the Peng.”

"Come to think of it, I've never fought in the ocean before." (End of Chapter)
