Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

As a surge of divine power coursed through his body, Li Yelai felt an unprecedented sense of power. (Well, excluding the time of the transaction with Mr. Ying.)

Is this the level of a divine being?
Li Yelai suddenly understood. No wonder some primitive or power-worshipping civilizations directly revered beings possessing divinity as gods!
This power does indeed give people the illusion of being almost omnipotent.

He clearly felt that his total amount and intensity of spiritual energy were greatly increased the moment he connected with the wonder!

When the Well of Souls begins to give rise to true divinity, it brings about a comprehensive leap in the level of life!
Now, any ability we use will be far more powerful than ever before.

Li Yelai was even confident that if he were to deal with a Chosen One of the same level as Po Fa now, he probably wouldn't need to go through the trouble of activating three masks at the same time.

"So, all I was doing before was facing such a huge numerical gap when challenging opponents of higher levels?" Li Yelai subconsciously clenched his fist. "It really wasn't easy, and it was incredibly frustrating!"

He estimated that if Li Yuanba's mask were activated again now, the divine general's image summoned would likely easily exceed seventy meters in height!

That's almost the size he could achieve only after activating the Divine Favor state during his sixth awakening period.

However, perhaps because he had just connected with the wonder and the time was too short, Li Yelai noticed that his physique did not seem to have improved significantly to the same extent.

Does it take time for divinity to permeate the physical body? Or does the enhancement of wonders focus more on psychic power and divinity itself?
As for the great supernatural power, Li Yelai had absolutely no hope. No signs of supernatural power emerging from the depths of the wonder returned; all was silent.

This makes sense. Otherwise, he would really like to see what kind of abilities he would gain by borrowing the power of a hegemon.

Now that I've connected with the wonders and possess divinity, if I summon the Sea of ​​Heroes, will the King of Candlelight and the True Lord of Dawn also be elevated to the level of overlords?
I need to find an opportunity to give it a try!

Li Yelai remembered that both of them had said that Li Yelai's level was too low, to the point that their tactical combinations were not perfect. Especially Zhu Ye, whose phenomenon 'Sun and Moon Shining Together' was very important, and when combined with his mythical mimicry of the Zhulong, his combat power was off the charts.

If they could all be dragged into the hegemon level, they might also be able to possess extraordinary phenomena.

However, just as Li Yelai was carefully sensing the changes within himself, a sudden sense of disorientation struck him.

It was as if countless tiny, distorted whispers, filled with fervor and worship, were resounding directly in the depths of his soul.

'Great Chosen One!'

'Noble, tyrannical, powerful!'

'The journey of our Lord!'

'The incarnation of our Lord!'

'The greatest violence in the world!'

'It will lead us to the most glorious battlefield!'

This was not the nauseating erosion of chaotic corruption, but rather a more ethereal and elusive force. It seemed to be subtly arousing and amplifying the most primal savagery and desire for conquest deep within Li Yelai's heart, silently attempting to influence his will.

Li Yelai couldn't help but frown.

This feeling is too strange.

He clearly sensed that he was being influenced by some external force.

Although, given his unwavering will, this influence currently seems to have little effect and is more like background noise, its very existence, and its attempt to distort his mind, make him somewhat uncomfortable.

'The price of connecting to wonders? Fortunately, it's a wonder of the Blood God faction, not one of bliss,' Li Yelai muttered to himself. Tyranny is better than lust, right?
There was no one around him, but instead thousands of chaotic arrays and ritual patterns, and further away, thousands of silent bloodsuckers.

They transformed into the strongest defense, protecting the wonder and the chosen one who had fallen from grace.

Everyone remained silent, not uttering a single sound.

Until the distant Tear Plague spoke, he did not approach, but asked from across the defensive line.

"Brother Di Yun, how are you feeling?"

He wouldn't choose to get close to another colleague's spectacle, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.

The wonder is far too important; even if he considers Emperor Yun his brother, he wouldn't overstep his bounds here. Stepping onto the defensive line would be seen as a declaration of war by the Blood God faction!
Of course, unbeknownst to them, Little Mad King had already infiltrated the area. If the scene hadn't been so quiet, she could have chatted with Li Ye.

“Very good, the wonders of this world are indeed interesting. Please give me a formula for forging wonders and some materials.” Li Yelai made a request that seemed reasonable from the perspective of the Tear Plague.

Lei Wen nodded: "Of course, my brother."

After Li Yelai stepped out of the defensive line, a series of formations were activated, and thousands of bloodletting ghosts once again formed ranks. They would continue to guard the spectacle.

"Is this your battle form? How majestic." Tear Plague glanced at the spectacle one last time before turning back to Li Ye and saying, "As expected of being chosen by many gods! So, what do you think, my brother? Although with your status, this shouldn't be your first encounter with divinity, do you feel a sense of supreme power, being the only one worthy of respect in heaven and earth, when you personally wield this power?"

“Not bad, a man-made wonder. The replacement base is a bit noisy though,” Li Yelai said as he stepped out of the heavily protected mountain base. “What is that? Faith?”

"You reacted quickly, my brother," Tears Plague laughed. "That's right, that's faith. What you received was the faith condensed within this wonder. For other great supernatural powers, it might be a problem. But you will not betray this faith!"

"What a strange ascension path. Has it already gained faith at the very beginning of its divine existence?" Li Yelai asked, wanting to obtain more information from Chaos.

"Indeed, although that power should theoretically belong to gods, a thousand years ago, scholars developed this technology. It can even greatly accelerate the condensation of great supernatural abilities," Lei Wen laughed, then added with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, you've only just obtained this wonder and are still unable to condense great supernatural abilities. You can't understand its wondrous uses."

“Wonder can inspire faith, and this is a technology developed by scholars a thousand years ago.” Li Yelai thought to himself, wouldn’t that be the time when human civilization was rising?
That technology was developed around that time? That can't be right.

At that time, humanity had just experienced, or was still experiencing, a brutal war with foreign rulers. In such an environment of uncertainty and scarcity of resources, could humanity really have researched a profound technology that involved faith and wonder, which had never been encountered before, to such an extent?

Could it be the work of that mysterious figure who traverses human history once again?
But what is the purpose?

Li Yelai keenly sensed that the person's goal was definitely not as simple as just promoting world development.

If he truly cared about the development of humanity, he should have taken action to destroy those alien civilizations instead of allowing them to threaten humanity.

Of course, if that person really exists.
Their attitude towards humanity is unclear.
Then, Li Yelai continued, "I feel something's strange." "Strange?" Lei Wen turned back, puzzled, and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

“Even if we are from different worlds, the blessings and power of our Chaos faction are the same. Then this world should also have blood sacrifice rituals, right?” Li Yelai asked. “Why haven’t I seen any Chaos Princes?”

The virtual realm has been sealed off, and psionicists have lost their path to advancement.

But the Supreme Heaven still exists, and the blood sacrifices of the Chaos faction can still break through the Void Realm's blockade and create a Chaos Prince.

A Chaos Prince of the monarch level should be an invincible existence in this world where there are only false overlords.

Even a champion cannot fight a king two levels above the level of a hegemon.

However, chaos has not yet taken over the world.

“Of course we do, otherwise where would we get the Chaos Artifacts?” Tear Plague said with a hint of hesitation, “But as you know, the void of this universe is locked. We cannot normally ascend to higher levels. But even the princes find it difficult to stay in the physical world. The specific reason is unknown. There was once a prince who ruled the world and wanted to stay in the physical world, but then somehow he returned to the Supreme Heaven.”

Were they exiled?

"Does the virtual realm not allow princes to exist in the physical world? Or is there some existence that prevents this world from having powerful beings who surpass the limits?" Li Yelai pondered.

Leiwen then asked, "Brother Diyun, what are your plans next?"

“Let the chosen ones mobilize their forces first. I’ve come to understand the dangers of the Crimson Curse,” Li Yelai said. “If nothing unexpected happens, some alien races should have contacted you.”

“Yes, indeed, the branch near the border has received signals of cooperation from other races. They want us to form an alliance with them. The reward is that they are willing to worship our Lord,” Tear Plague said. “They should be the outsiders you mentioned. Otherwise, they would never make such a request.”

“Then tell them that Emperor Yan has returned and will assist them when they need it most!” Li Yelai said with a smile.

"Brother Emperor Fall, your moral compass is so high it doesn't seem like that of a chosen one," Tears of Plague retorted. "Is it really assistance?"

"Don't make me say it directly, this world should have the idiom 'the snipe and the clam fight'."

“Understood.” Leiwen smiled. “We will wait patiently and enter the arena to determine the winner at the most opportune ‘final moment’.”

“And during this time, I will familiarize myself with the power of the wonders as soon as possible, and find that human champion as soon as possible.” Li Yelai clenched his fist: “I want to see if the human champion can stand up to me now.”

"Don't you need any assistance?" Tear Plague asked, frowning. "That human champion killed the chosen one in his divine favor form, using the Six Senses Reversal Great Divine Power."

"I've rebelled before. Who the hell's afraid of who?" Li Yelai sneered.

'So this chosen one, discovered and named by the Blood God after all, is just like Po Fa—all for battle and glory? Fine, his very existence has enough appeal; that's enough. The power of chaos will be unified!'

Tears of Plague thought to himself that he naturally had no right to decide the actions of a polytheistic chosen one.

With the departure of the God of Tears, Li Yelai was not in a hurry to leave the Blood God branch.

Under the guise of familiarizing himself with the environment and taking stock of assets, he conducted a swift and efficient inspection, or rather, a looting, of this branch that had just submitted to him.

He had a clear goal: to go directly to the branch's reserve depot.

The Blood God followers guarding this place not only dared not stop him, but instead opened heavy gates inscribed with chaotic runes for him with utmost respect.

Li Yelai's gaze swept over the mountain of supplies: rare ores containing extraordinary power, powerful biological essence blood contained in special containers, unfinished rune armor prototypes, and a large quantity of spiritual materials for offerings and blood sacrifices.
He didn't have time to carefully distinguish them, but quickly selected the small portion with the most valuable energy.

He unceremoniously put all these supplies into his own storage space.

The entire process was efficient and beyond reproach. The surrounding Blood God followers showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever; on the contrary, they watched their new master's every move with a mixture of awe, fervor, and anticipation.

In their view, it was only natural for the powerful chosen ones to take their property.

After completing all this, Li Yelai calmly walked out of the entrance to the branch's mountain base under the almost pilgrimage-like gaze of many believers.

After Li Yelai's figure disappeared, those gazes gradually dispersed, as if they were looking forward to his next return, when he would lead them to more glory and slaughter!
The moment Li Yelai connected with the spectacle, all the Chaos Believers were eager to follow in his footsteps and rush to the greatest battlefield.
Of course, from a certain perspective, Li Yelai will inevitably drag them all to the bloodiest battlefield.

Until they are all completely exhausted!
After leaving the Blood God branch, Li Yelai stopped in a mountain forest and took a deep breath. A violent emotion flickered in his eyes. It was as if countless fine needles were stimulating his nerves, urging him to destroy and conquer.

"Is the faith of the Chaos Believers still influencing you, teammate?" Little Mad King stepped out from her hiding place, reaching out to help Li Yelai. If necessary, she could help him vent; it was just a battle, and the two often sparred.

"Don't get too close yet. It'll be troublesome." Li Yelai paused, then suddenly threw a punch to the other side!
A mottled giant tiger, hidden in the jungle, was sent flying by a single punch.

It was a giant tiger, over four meters tall and more than ten meters long, with mottled fur that blended perfectly into its environment—a perfect camouflage for a top-tier ambush predator.

Of course, this level of concealment was far too conspicuous in the eyes of a top assassin like Little Mad King. She had already noticed it, but simply did not make a move.

The giant tiger was blasted by a punch, its bones and tendons shattered, and it crashed heavily into several ancient trees before falling to the ground, letting out a wail that was a mixture of pain and extreme fear.

From these two seemingly insignificant humans, it sensed a killing intent far more terrifying and pure than that of the king of the forest!
Li Yelai did not use any weapons, but took a step forward with his bare hands to approach.

There are no fancy techniques, just the simplest and most brutal series of punches.

Heavy, muffled thuds sounded rapidly, like war drums, interspersed with the terrifying cracking of bones breaking and the giant tiger's rapidly weakening whimpers.

A dozen seconds later, everything fell silent.

The once-arrogant jungle overlord's head was smashed beyond recognition, crashing to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust and blood.

Covered in tiger's blood, Li Yelai exhaled a breath of turbid air as this violent power was released.

The power of faith, indeed, still presents some trouble. (End of Chapter)
