Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs
Chapter 723 Box
The Little Mad King appeared beside Li Yelai like a ghost, his strange appearance instantly putting all the powerful figures of the Law City, including Chang Hui, on high alert.
In Li Yelai's view, on that strange 'system' panel, the data bars representing Chang Hui and others fluctuated violently, and the relationship values changed rapidly, finally settling on an unsettling number.
[Relationship: -60] (Fear)
Yes, under the influence of the Little Mad King's curse of 'doubt', her terrifying stealth skills, which could even deceive the chosen ones, would not only fail to reassure the human powerhouses, but would instead trigger the deepest fear and suspicion.
With such strength, if it were an enemy, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to notice before being instantly and silently killed!
Especially the legal hero, Chang Hui.
At this moment, a chill ran through his heart. His True Word Jade Law covered and monitored the entire Law City, and this place was the absolute center of the Law City, which should be the core area where the True Word Jade Law was most effective and most sensitive.
However, he barely managed to catch a faint fluctuation just before the Little Mad King revealed himself, and it was highly likely that this was the result of the other party deliberately exposing himself.
This ability to infiltrate, completely beyond his control and comprehension, made him, the guardian of the City of Law, feel an unprecedented threat.
Therefore, even though he clearly heard Li Yelai's reminder that "they are one of us," his physical instincts still outpaced his reason, and his divine nature began to be mobilized uncontrollably, filling him with vigilance.
This scene made Li Yelai sigh inwardly. The hostility and changes in relationships simulated by this strange 'system' were far too realistic.
Without any hesitation, Li Yelai activated the Divine Demon Tablet deep within the Well of Souls with a slight thought. Instantly, he suppressed and neutralized the effect of the curse.
Although Little Mad King usually had an expressionless, aloof, and world-weary face, as if he didn't care about the vigilance and hostility around him.
But Li Yelai knew that she was actually a girl who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and who had a habit of taking care of others. She would silently remember her teammates' preferences and would protect her companions' backs in the most reliable way during battle.
Therefore, with her present, Li Yelai could fight without restraint. The gaps he couldn't afford to overlook, as well as the chilling glint in his eyes, would all be erased by the Little Mad King.
Unfortunately, that damned curse of 'doubt' prevents outsiders from seeing her warm inner self, and they can only instinctively treat her with distance and suspicion.
The power of the Divine Demon Stele quietly took effect, and the fear and suspicion that were almost overflowing in Chang Hui's eyes gradually faded away.
In Li Yelai's eyes, the data of the 'system', the [relationship] also instantly recovered to 20.
Chang Hui frowned in confusion, seemingly not understanding why he had lost his composure just now and felt such a strong sense of rejection towards an 'ally' he had just fought alongside.
The other outstanding candidates also instantly returned to normal. The doubt in their eyes disappeared, replaced by either amazement or curiosity as they looked at the Little Mad King.
Even now, the young Mad King still wears the Wanfeng City battle skirt, exuding heroic spirit. His long legs even make the female candidates exclaim that those legs are longer than their own lives.
But why did I feel that hostility towards her?
They developed hostility towards a girl who had previously helped them fight the Chosen Ones of Chaos and was also stunningly beautiful.
The candidates pondered silently, but could not come up with an answer.
Meanwhile, Little Mad King sat down in the chair next to Li Yelai, took the chopsticks, and began to eat quickly and efficiently.
Li Yelai pushed the food he hadn't touched toward her and asked, "Are you alright? Did you run into any trouble?"
"No." Little Mad King didn't stop eating, seemingly quite hungry. While drinking water, he took a moment to reply, "It's simpler than I expected."
"Located in a secluded valley about 600 kilometers from the City of Law."
"I also successfully found the wonders of the Chaos faction, but there is only one, and it is under much tighter protection."
After saying these words, Little Mad King had finished eating the food in front of him, and after asking a question with his eyes, he reached out and took the food from in front of Li Yelai.
Li Yelai didn't pay attention, but pondered, "So, that place only has one chosen one? Isn't it the main headquarters if there's one less?"
"No, even the main headquarters wouldn't put all its wonders together. You can't put all your eggs in one basket," Little Mad King replied.
It was only at this moment that Chang Hui realized that this girl had not only found the base of the Chaos Believers, but had actually gone deep inside and witnessed a wonder.
'Unexpectedly powerful,' Chang Hui thought to himself, and then asked, 'Does Your Excellency intend to launch a surprise attack on the Immortal Faction's base?'
“Yes, you know my abilities,” Li Yelai replied, reminding him not to forget that he could seize control of the Chaos Legion.
The Little Mad King followed the Chosen of the Plague God so that Li Ye could better seize power!
Admittedly, the believers would neither believe in nor obey this suddenly appearing chosen one. But the Chaos Legion, twisted from Chaos believers and filled with the will of Chaos, would only obey the orders of those with higher authority within that faction.
It is now certain that Li Yelai's authority is higher than that of all the Chaos Chosen.
Whether those believers listen or not is irrelevant; the greatest violence of the Chaos faction is already in Li Yelai's hands.
Of course, it would be even better if those demon generals and elite believers could also obey orders. That would require considerable skill.
For example, when the only Chosen Chaos God dies, a new Chosen Chaos God appears and takes over the entire legacy of the former!
Hey, they really are the last of the family to eat wontons.
Li Yelai pondered his next move and asked Chang Hui, "Do the other heroes know about what's going on here?"
“Naturally, some heroes were alerted at the very beginning of our battle, but the fighting ended quickly, and I asked them to return first. After all, they also have to guard their own city-states,” Chang Hui said. “Do you need to see them?”
“Not for now. It’s true that human heroes can’t just leave their respective city-states at will,” Li Yelai said. “You help me communicate with them, at least let them know our origins. Hmm, alright, although from your perspective, we are extraterrestrial demons.”
Chang Hui nodded slightly. Li Yelai and Little Mad King came from beyond this world, so they could naturally be considered extraterrestrial demons. "There's no need to conceal my presence, or rather, let the alien races know that the champion has arrived here," Li Yelai said.
"Alien race. Do you want other extraterrestrial demons to know you're here?" Chang Hui asked.
"Yes, they'll find out sooner or later, and that's exactly what I need to take advantage of."
"Furthermore, with the three factions' chosen ones making their moves simultaneously, based on my understanding of Chaos, those damned cultists will definitely come to observe. They might even be cultists' chosen ones. I can prepare myself and make an assessment."
Chang Hui nodded silently, then glanced at his subordinates. The remaining heroes quickly departed as well. They needed to relay these messages to various city-states, indirectly reaching the ears of the alien civilizations.
After everyone else left, only the breathing of the three people remained in the large hall.
“Your Excellency Champion, I must apologize to you and Lord Jiang Ling,” Chang Hui said. “Just now, for a moment, I felt an inexplicable malice and wariness towards Lord Jiang Ling. This was absolutely not my intention.”
“I know, it’s a curse.” Li Yelai nodded. “In our world, every psychic who awakens their power will bear a corresponding curse in the Void Realm. That is the price that must be paid for gaining power from the Void Realm.”
"I see. It seems the situation in your world is far more dire than ours. In our world, there is no such malevolent curse that accompanies power." Chang Hui sighed softly, "Is this perhaps the only advantage of the Void Realm being locked down?"
Yes, the psionicists in this world are safer than those in the outside world.
Although distortions and deformities will still occur, at least psionicists will not be tormented by curses.
There won't be any regrets like those involving dolls, Li Yunyan, or Little Mad King.
Li Yelai no longer needs to be tormented by misfortune. Of course, nowadays, Li Yelai is probably already unable to escape the curse of misfortune.
"Did you notice it?" Li Yelai asked.
"Hmm," Chang Hui said, "I don't know if it's good or bad. The closure of the Void Realm prevents us from normally advancing to divine beings. But it also locks down the upper limit of alien civilizations. Otherwise, facing those alien civilizations that were able to have their glorious periods, we humans probably would have been unable to resist them successfully long ago, let alone establish these barely surviving city-states."
“No.” Li Yelai shook his head: “Our world has already provided the answer, otherwise, the giant cities would not have been built. They all rose up in resistance.”
"Cheers for humanity," Chang Hui said with a bitter smile. "But the Void Realm is locked down, and the path to advancement has been forcibly cut off. Our world, our war, is a struggle for survival in our own eyes. But in the eyes of a strong person like you who comes from the outside world and has seen a wider sky, it is probably just a small-scale skirmish."
His words carried an indescribable sense of desolation and a clear awareness of the limitations of his own world.
The strange phenomena of the illusory realm, the shackles of power, and the few words Li Yelai spoke of about the 'outside world' all intertwined, sketching a chilling picture in his mind.
He felt as if he, and the whole world he was in, were inside some huge, invisible box.
They struggled, fought, reproduced, and perished inside this box, believing they were writing an epic tale, fighting for survival and glory.
However, outside the box, there may be some incomprehensible and unimaginable beings observing everything that happens inside with a detached, even unrestrained, gaze.
Their joys and sorrows, their sacrifices and perseverance, the war and civilization they regarded as everything—in the eyes of those beings, perhaps it was merely a pre-arranged drama, or an insignificant experiment.
Once this thought takes root, it brings a chilling and suffocating feeling that penetrates to the bone.
Chang Hui's gaze involuntarily drifted back to the sky outside the window, his expression becoming incredibly complex.
How much absolute meaning remains in the laws he upholds and the order he firmly believes in within such a possible 'box'?
Li Yelai looked at Chang Hui in silence, neither confirming nor denying his conjecture.
He didn't know the secrets of this world. But he did have a feeling of being locked out.
After a long silence, Chang Hui looked at Li Ye and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"They went to great lengths to send people into this world, and it's impossible that they'll bring any good to humanity," Li Yelai stated bluntly. "Even I was originally intended to be a so-called 'Eternal Chosen One' in their plan, to corrupt humanity from within. Therefore, I speculate that their ultimate goal is still to completely destroy human civilization. Regardless of the true nature of this world, this is something we must stop."
"Therefore, we must eliminate them before they achieve their goal!" Chang Hui's expression turned utterly cold, all his confusion and despondency replaced by a resolute fighting spirit. Whether this world was merely a 'box' or not, whether their existence was guided or not, he, this City of Law beneath his feet, and all the struggling human civilizations were undeniably real!
They are not lambs to the slaughter, and they will never surrender without a fight!
“Yes, a great war is bound to break out afterward. I hope you can contact all the city-states as soon as possible and gather all forces. The alien races will definitely take action.” Li Yelai said, “It won’t be a short time. In their original plan, everything should be over within one or two months.”
"Hmph, how arrogant!" Chang Hui sneered, then asked, "How can I help you?"
After a moment's thought, Li Yelai asked a crucial question: "Are there any vacant, unconnected wonders currently?"
Chang Hui smiled and said, "You've already mastered the Sixth Sense Reversal Great Divine Power. If I were to give you a miracle, I can't even imagine how powerful you could become!"
Little Mad King nodded in agreement, looking forward to Li Yelai's arrival after witnessing the wonder.
Li Yelai's current combat abilities are already comparable to those of a true overlord; what he lacks is that crucial element of divinity. Once he overcomes this final deficiency through a miracle and completes a transformation at the level of his life, his combat power will undoubtedly undergo a terrifying, all-encompassing boost!
The Peak Champion can fight the Supreme. We have the Peak Champion, so you better have the Supreme!
In this locked world, theoretically there is no supreme being as long as the mysterious powerful figure driving the course of history is not an enemy.
So, Li Yelai, who has successfully obtained the blessing of the wonder, may really be able to cut his way all the way from the South Heavenly Gate to Penglai East Road!
Leading his vast army, he sweeps away all hostile forces! He unites the strength of both the Chaos and human legions for an expedition!
Sweep across the vast wilderness and be yourself again!
"As for the wonders, they have all been connected. It's just that some of them haven't yet manifested great supernatural powers," Chang Hui said. "Currently, there are still three wonders that haven't yet condensed great supernatural powers."
"And the most recent spectacle is the one in Wanfeng City!" (End of Chapter)
