Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The figure, resembling a human hero, suddenly stepped out from the spatial distortion, wielding a long sword in a horizontal slash.

In that instant, a strange, almost divine power burst forth.

Several powerful merman warriors who were opening the gate were bypassed without any reaction.

One of the six-sense merfolk women instinctively picked up her psionic weapon, a coral-like shield.

However, the strike was too fast; they only saw a flash of light before their eyes, and when they turned to see their target, they found their own heads severed.

The female merman holding the shield was cut in two, shield and all.

"Back off!" Haihui roared, swinging his trident horizontally.

He had never imagined this would happen—a powerful being suddenly emerging from ruins sealed for hundreds, if not longer, years. That was the treasure trove of the snake people's heritage! How did this human get in?
Moreover, that is... the power of chaos?
"The fall of the Emperor! Was this the work of your Chaos?" Haihui was furious.

"My lord is so generous. If you are brave enough, I can ask for a blessing for you!"

Li Yelai's expression also shifted slightly. He did indeed sense the blessing power from the Chaos Gods and the Blood God.

The Blood God's Chosen One? Even if not, it must possess some kind of powerful blessing!
At the same time, Li Yelai lowered his halberd and retreated rapidly, shielding the merfolk in front of him.

The figure collided head-on with Haihui, and during the clash of their divine powers, the figure's body paused.

Haihui's eyes lit up. He sensed that he could suppress the figure and also discerned its true nature. It was a projection, a remnant of something on a certain artifact! Although it possessed divinity, its combat power was rapidly diminishing.

"You worthless piece of trash with divine abilities, fight me!" Haihui roared. The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and he felt like he was back in action!

However, after realizing that he could not kill Haihui instantly, the figure decisively changed direction.

With a flash, he swept his long sword horizontally, directly attacking the merman army and the Chaos Legion.

In that instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Like chopping melons and vegetables, more than a dozen merfolk, vampires, and plague knights were killed in an instant.

Human heroes seem unconcerned about the strength of their targets, instead focusing all their efforts on killing as many units as possible.

This infuriated Haihui, because the ruins were opened by their merfolk, and the entrance was crowded with people.

Therefore, the casualties were also the greatest!

"Die!" he roared, and together with a large number of powerful merfolk, they swarmed forward to besiege the 'human hero'.

But in reality, they didn't even need to surround him. After killing more than a dozen enemies, the projection of the human hero began to shatter. He seemed to let out a silent roar, wanting to kill even more!
His gaze fell upon Li Yelai, seemingly revealing a mixture of ruthlessness and regret, as if he had recognized Li Yelai as a Chosen One of Chaos, yet lacking divinity. Ignoring the risk of injury, he charged towards Li Yelai, braving the blades to deliver a fatal blow.

However, having exhausted all his resources, his body suddenly shattered and dissipated when he was less than five meters away from Li Ye, leaving only a long sword lying on the ground.

This longsword, already badly worn, contained an aura of chaos, clearly having been blessed by the Blood God.

Strangely, Li Yelai, as the chosen one of the Blood God, felt a sense of unease about the broken sword.

That was indeed a blessing from the Blood God, but it seemed somewhat different from the blessing Li Yelai received; something was missing.
Rank? Order of magnitude? Or something else?
Li Yelai couldn't discern anything amiss. He could only sense a vague, strange, and unsettling feeling.

Haihui snorted coldly and raised his hand to dispel Yingjie's last remaining remnants: "He was quite a figure in life, but all he had was his lingering fighting spirit. How dare he lay a hand on me?"

"Human intervention in this place of opportunity?" Haihui asked Li Yelai. "Human civilization was the first to discover the snake-people's tomb and left a backup plan?"

“How could I know?” Li Yelai replied, “But at least this knife is indeed a blessing from my lord.”

"Your chaotic hand has even reached into this place of opportunity?" Haihui's expression was somewhat grim, putting aside the casualties for the moment.

If chaos had already reached this place of opportunity, then the civilization here might have already been corrupted by chaos. This would be extremely detrimental to future exploration.

"Our Lord's blessings nourish the entire Void Realm." Li Yelai responded calmly, "Our Lord, the Blood God, is also known for his generosity, so what's so surprising? The first champion was our chosen champion, yet you didn't say that the championship was our doing."

Haihui was speechless for a moment. The Blood God was indeed generous. As long as you were brave enough, you might receive a blessing. But there was a high probability that those who received the blessing would be corrupted and distorted.

"As for a pre-arranged backup plan, I think it's unlikely. If they really wanted to stop the rise of the remnants of the snake-people civilization, they could have destroyed the entire tomb. Why would they abandon a part of their divinity?" Li Yelai said. "It's probably an accident within some snake-people treasure vault."

"That accident is too much. Although it was a remnant of killing intent and divine projection, it still has its merits. Liu Jue is probably doomed." Hai Hui glanced at Li Yelai: "You haven't reached the Overlord level yet, so you may not know."

"Heh, who said you haven't been there before?" the Poisonous Demon General mocked.

"Indeed, Your Excellency possesses the countenance of a god and the bearing of a dragon and phoenix. Among your companions are many overlords!" Blood God Demon General chimed in.

Haihui was taken aback, his expression turning strange.

"Shut up! That's not the kind of 'entry' he's talking about!" Li Yelai clicked his tongue. "I've already killed a hegemon, that's enough."

The Serpent King died at the hands of a hero, and perhaps some divinity remained in his remains, which led to this tragedy.

Revive them in someone's cemetery/inheritance vault, then intercept and kill any snake people that may appear.
Ok?
Suddenly, Li Yelai frowned, his brows hidden under his bamboo hat.

A deadly threat. If caught off guard and the treasure vault is opened, a person with the sixth sense would likely be instantly killed by a human hero!

The first 'human heroes' to emerge were very strong, but their power quickly dissipated due to the lack of a source.

If only a few people are killed
Li Yelai, the chosen one with the Sixth Sense, happened to arrive at the Serpent Man's Tomb. And, by sheer coincidence, he triggered a series of traps, leading him to discover human remains on the altar, and further, the existence of the tomb.

You killed my compatriots, I'll dig up your ancestral graves!

Otherwise, given Li Ye's thinking, he would first cooperate with Little Mad King after entering.

Then, they hunted down humanity's enemies everywhere. The human champion and the strongest assassin cooperated, and those below the Supreme level died one by one! The Heavenly Evolution Walker did the same!
Take advantage of the inevitable encounters with strong enemies and fight back and forth several times.

How many overlords do you have left? And you still want to besiege them?

However, the triggering of the trap led him to discover the tomb, which caused him to enter the tomb and change his plans to lure the enemy deeper into the tomb.

'Those traps appeared very strangely. I clearly didn't activate the face mask, and the misfortune didn't trigger. How could so many be triggered in a row?'

'This seems more like a tactic to draw my attention to the ruins.'

'Thus, it led me to my grave. If I open the tomb, I'll most likely be hunted down by human heroes, won't I?'

'This step-by-step cause and effect... could it be the Book of Destiny? No, my identity has never been revealed. Besides, the other party doesn't know that I possess the key—capable of altering certain things, yet unable to obtain information about me?'

'It is an entity outside the Book of Destiny, seeking to take this opportunity to destroy me.'

'What's the point? Because I'm the chosen one of Chaos? Because I have a grudge against Chaos?'

'Or is it that I carry something else or cause and effect with me?' Haihui said, 'Now that the projection has been destroyed, let's begin to reap the rewards.'

Subsequently, both groups entered the distorted spatial treasure vault, reaching the deepest part of the Serpent King's tomb.

As you step into the folded space, a bright and open view suddenly appears before you.

It was a vast space located in the void, where starlight formed barriers, and a dilapidated serpent bone palace stood in the middle.

The skeleton of a giant serpent, over a thousand meters long, coiled around the palace. However, both the serpent skeleton and the palace were broken, as if they had been cleaved open by a giant axe; the serpent skeleton was broken, and the palace was shattered.
“It seems to be an ancient species of Titan Serpent,” Haihui said. “This species is similar to ancient dragons; it becomes a dominant force upon reaching adulthood. This is an adult. The Serpent-People civilization is indeed capable of controlling such ancient beasts. Emperor's Fall, our gains will be substantial.”

"Titan Serpent?" Li Yelai's potion recipe contained its ingredients.

Then, the group cautiously ventured deeper into the palace and discovered numerous facilities resembling incubation chambers. These chambers contained a large number of snake eggs.

These may be the seeds of the snake-people civilization. Perhaps at some point, these snake eggs will give birth to new snake-people who will use the heritage of this place to further strengthen their civilization.

But human heroes clearly left themselves some tricks up their sleeves.
Without exception, all the snake eggs in this area were crushed.

Some even grew into snake-bodied, human-faced creatures, but they all became remains.

Human heroes are superior. They directly raided the enemy's base.

Neither Li Yelai nor Haihui expressed any dissatisfaction with this; naturally, it was better for the snake-man to die.

Next came the supplies: a large quantity of spiritual plants and materials, as well as some mysterious array diagrams.

A completely different concept from all other psionic weapon technologies possessed by humankind.

It may not be better, but it is at least a new idea.

Although some were damaged, there are still a considerable number.

Next are the treasures and forbidden items. If the treasures are not found, they may have been consumed or lost, or the snake-people civilization may not have developed them yet.

As for forbidden items, there are a few.

However, most of them are low-level forbidden items. A single glance from the Ghostly Mask reveals their effects and costs.

Of particular note are a pair of snake-biting bracelets; when worn by two beings, they share the curse and its amplification. The cost is that the curse is strengthened for a period of time after the bracelet is removed.
Hey, this is good stuff!

The results were excellent, but the price was even more exorbitant!
Wear it for a while before battle, remove it to enhance the curse, and then use a Reversal God and Demon Monument.
Tsk. Even Li Yelai is afraid. When that happens, won't every step bring a natural disaster?
Haihui scoffed at the idea of ​​simply taking the item, thinking that Di Yun was also ignorant.

However, upon entering the deepest part of the palace, after passing through another stone gate...

Then they saw a bloated, coiled human-faced snake statue.

A volcano-like body, a structure composed of countless humanoid torsos.

An extremely wide mouth filled with sharp fangs, and a huge human face on its abdomen.

It is smaller than the snake-man stone statues outside, but even though it is broken, it still carries a certain divine sense of oppression.

And this feeling.
"The base?!" Li Yelai and Haihui's expressions changed slightly.

As the dominant player, Haihui naturally knew that this was the foundation!
But that shouldn't be the case. As the foundation upon which divine beings stand, the pedestal cannot manifest in the physical world. Even if the overlord dies, the pedestal would only shatter, its scattered power nourishing the illusory realm. How could it possibly exist here?

Besides, what kind of pedestal looks like this? Are they abandoning the path to supreme power?
Whose foundation isn't in the virtual realm? What, is your virtual realm too small to fit your foundation or something?
This technological trend is really off track!
Li Yelai's feeling was even more different. As a psionicist at the peak of the sixth sense, when he approached the stone statue, he could even feel that he could connect to the base at any time.

He has already reached the peak of the sixth level of enlightenment, and is only one step away from becoming a hegemon by condensing his foundation.

Once you acquire a base, even a fake one, you naturally become a fake overlord!
This is a technique that allows Six-Sense Psionicists to use the overlord's power!
"It's a pity it's already shattered." Li Yelai said this, but his murderous intent was gradually rising.

Haihui, gripping his trident tightly, calmly said, "Only someone like you with no base would covet this. I don't want it. It's just a defective product, lacking any forging technology."

He appeared indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the object.

But they all knew the importance of this technology.

If the resources for forging this fake base are reasonable, then a large number of Sixth Awakenings will be able to obtain the might of a hegemon!

However, just when the two scheming individuals were about to double-cross each other...

A powerful surge of energy quietly emanated from it.

That is supreme divinity!
'A supreme being has entered the Land of Opportunity! Which side is it? Human? Chaos? Or a powerful being from our forbidden zone? But they are unfamiliar,' Haihui thought, abandoning his plan for a bloody battle.

"It won't be Chaos, since they've already given away the Chaos Sacred Artifact. They won't be sending out a Supreme Being. Nor will it be Captain Yang Chen, the Heavenly Evolution Walker, or the Supreme Being of the Throat of Return to Nothingness." Li Yelai's gaze swept over Hai Hui, noticing he seemed unsure of himself.

Okay, it's not a restricted area.

Will the Supreme Being of the Heavenly Evolution Traveler arrive first? Or will the Goat Traveler mentioned by the Kui constellation?

Li Yelai sneered inwardly, temporarily setting aside his idea of ​​double-crossing.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away...

A beautiful woman in a white robe appeared on a mountain.

She is the Sheep Walker!
She looked up at the sky, her gaze piercing through the clouds to reveal the strange starry expanse. She wasn't surprised by the unusual starry sky, but she frowned at the information the starlight conveyed.

Kui Su is dead!

"How could this be?" one of the travelers exclaimed in surprise, looking up at the starry sky.

This was the first traveler to die since that bloody battle with the wandering knights.

And he was also a Star Traveler, a hegemon!

"Who could it be? Could it be the Ark voters or the forbidden zone team he's leading?" a fellow traveler asked.

"We'll find out soon enough." Wei Yang sneered, "Killing my people is certain death!"

She held a glittering starlight in her hand and asked for divination.

Immediately, her expression changed slightly, then she quickly sneered: "They came really fast, what a variable!"

The one who kills Kui (奎) cannot be seen through divination. That leaves only one possibility.
The one who slays Kui Su is humanity's champion! (End of Chapter)
