Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

'son of a bitch'

The moment I saw this suspected system light curtain appear.

Li Yelai then realized that he was probably being tricked by a strange force.

After all, as a powerful psychic and a chosen one of the unorthodox paths, Li Yelai was well aware of the strangeness and absurdity of the existence of the system.

You can simply post a task, and once completed, you can obtain rewards out of thin air from the virtual realm.

Directly enhance psionic abilities, strengthen physical constitution, or even distribute physical equipment?
This is outrageous.

But upon closer examination, it simply doesn't hold water!
If such a risk-free and highly profitable business existed, the Chaos Gods would have already mass-produced a chosen army by frantically "issuing tasks" and conquered the world. Why would they need to go through all this trouble with corruption?

Even the blessings bestowed by evil gods require offerings that suit their tastes or earth-shattering events that align with their doctrines.

Therefore, the more one understands the virtual realm, the more one can deny the existence of this 'system'.

Unless, of course, that system's power extends above that of the Chaos Gods.

It is so powerful that it can even be said to be a being above the gods.

Why are you looking for me? Are you bored?

Therefore, Li Yelai believed that this was a treacherous conspiracy.

This kind of light directly affecting the retina is not difficult for Li Yelai, the chosen one of the unorthodox paths, to replicate.

It can be achieved simply by setting up the corresponding ritual formation in advance and then using appropriate mental guidance and sensory interference on the target.

As for those seemingly magical "system functions" and "task rewards," their sources are even simpler: they are either based on the caster's own intelligence database, or even fabricated data.

Either temporarily unleash the target's potential through some means, or simply grant it a "blessing of chaos," making it mistakenly believe it's a system enhancement—essentially, the cost is ultimately borne by the target.

Of course, everyone has their own expertise, and Li Yelai was, after all, a chosen one of the unorthodox paths who obtained his position for free. He came from a self-taught background.

There has been no further research into many taboo topics, so it may be impossible to achieve such a natural approach.

Who would have thought that, as the chosen one watched by the Lord of All Changes, I would also encounter such a treacherous 'fraudulent scheme'?

They even betray their own people. That's truly a damn treacherous tactic, very much in their style!

Of course, this might be the reason why Li Yelai did not activate the Deceptive God's Chosen Face.

After all, activating the Facebook profile will trigger a curse of bad luck and an encounter with a dragon and a tiger.

Therefore, when he killed Lou Su, he only used the Deceptive God's Chosen Mask for a moment to erase part of Lou Su's last words, and then immediately withdrew it.

Continuing to use the facial recognition will likely lure all the enemies over. And just like that, the unexpected attack came.

'Okay, okay, you're trying to scam me, aren't you? Once I'm inside, I'll find you through the internet!'

Li Yelai thought to himself that now he only needed to activate the Deceptive Mask to tear off the disguise of this 'system panel'. But considering that it might alert the enemy, he decided to think about it further first.

'But we've only just entered the core, and we've already been targeted? This reaction is too fast. Has a corresponding 'system' appeared at Little Mad King's place as well?' Li Yelai glanced sideways. He couldn't see Little Mad King who was originally beside him; all around him was a turbulent darkness, as if a colossal creature was churning.

The next moment, the system panel in front of Li Yelai suddenly changed rapidly.

[High-energy abnormal reaction detected]

[Activate countermeasures]

Li Yelai frowned. Was it all a performance?

However, the next moment, he felt a terrifying sense of oppression. The colossal mechanical structure, like a star, seemed to be looking at him, its crimson light turning Li Yelai's vision blood red. At the same time, a strong sense of repulsion struck, and Li Yelai, who was sinking, felt as if he was about to be ejected from this space.

Is it preventing Li Ye from entering the core?
Li Yelai was surprised, but then he saw another force erupt, with dark flames spanning the starry sea and crashing directly into the star-like behemoth.

Compared to the colossal structure's size, that aura was extremely small. However, it attracted the colossal structure's attention, and the massive structure silently turned towards the dark aura, causing a torrent of data to surge forth, almost engulfing the entire star sea.

The next moment, the image disappeared, the feeling of repulsion vanished completely, and Li Yelai felt his feet touch the ground.

As the red light faded, Li Yelai rubbed his eyes and finally saw the scene before him clearly.

It was an unfamiliar room, with a bed, chairs, and a small bookcase.

At the same time, the 'token' that Li Yelai originally held also changed.

The words that had been erased began to appear clearly again. Strangely, even without activating the Demonic Path Mask, Li Yelai could understand the meaning of the words.

Simply put, this is a detailed form of identification.
It contains corresponding information and codes.

Even the profile picture and name on it have been changed to Li Yelai.

This made Li Yelai frown. He hadn't expected that this place of opportunity could directly read his real name and appearance.

In this situation, if the enemies could access the data, they might be able to pinpoint their location directly.

Of course, the possibility of people with the same name cannot be ruled out, but those guys in the restricted area would probably rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, right?
"I was put on the defensive from the very beginning," Li Yelai thought to himself, as he continued to check the information.

[Name: Li Yelai]
[Job Type: Clerical]
[Affiliation: Logistics Support Cleric, Third Assault Squad, Law City]
[Privilege Level: Level 2]
"Is this my identity in this place of opportunity? A clerical job? Fortunately, I took care of Lou Su outside. Otherwise, if my identity had been exposed inside, and I had rashly killed him to cover it up, it might have brought other troubles." Li Yelai was somewhat relieved.

As for the City of Law and his work, Li Yelai, who already had a legal identity, had no trouble finding out.

The problem now is to reunite with Little Mad King as soon as possible.

According to Lou Su, she and Li Yelai will meet soon after entering the core.

Or perhaps it's because Lou Su's identity isn't far removed from Li Yelai's. And Lou Su's token falling into the hands of the Little Mad King wouldn't be too far away either.

Afterwards, Li Yelai inspected the room and took out some strangely styled clothes from the wardrobe.

He couldn't very well go out wearing armor or a cloak, so he changed into some slightly ill-fitting clothes.

Li Ye confirmed that only the profile picture and name had changed; the rest should remain the same.

That would be a big problem in dealing with other people, since he doesn't have the original memories of this identity.

As Li Yelai opened the window and looked outside, he saw a city with a minimalist style and people walking in it.

Yes, it can be confirmed that it is indeed human civilization.

Although the style was somewhat strange, some pedestrians wore white robes, while others wore battle skirts and armor.

At the same time, the 'system light screen' in front of us reappeared.

This provided Li Yelai with various information about the person he was targeting. Whether it was true or false is unknown.

But soon, Li Yelai's gaze was drawn to a huge stone statue in the distance.

It was a human statue wielding a giant sword, and Li Ye could sense the immense power contained within it.
