Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The power belonging to the gods is imitated and intercepted in some way by the wonders of this world.

The immense faith that should have flowed to the highest heavens of chaos was diverted and stored by these man-made creations, becoming nourishment for those with great supernatural powers.

This faith from the followers of the Blood God contains an extremely strong and pure will to be brutal and bloodthirsty.

The power of faith does indeed allow those with great supernatural abilities to grow rapidly, not only accelerating the condensation of unique supernatural powers but also efficiently restoring depleted divinity. However, this power is not without its price; the will of those with great supernatural abilities is constantly influenced by the collective emotions contained within their faith.

The faith, especially that of the Chaos Believers, stems from extreme and fanatical doctrines, making it all the more corrosive and destructive. Over thousands of years, this vast amount of tyrannical faith has been constantly attempting to assimilate the holders of wonders.

Originally, this was not a disadvantage for the Chaos faction at all. The Blood God's Chosen became more tyrannical and bloodthirsty. Could this be considered a problem?
They're only afraid you're not tyrannical enough! Isn't the Blood God's Chosen just the right amount of tyranny?
But for Li Yelai, it really became a minor problem.

He could clearly feel that his temper had become much more irritable and easily angered. When dealing with that extraordinary giant tiger just now, he didn't even want to use a weapon, but chose to smash it to pieces with his fists!

It was as if only by bathing in the blood of the enemy could he temporarily release the strange and intense violence surging deep within his heart.

"Is this what faith is?" Li Yelai shook the blood off his hands, looked down at his clothes which were stained with beast blood, and sighed helplessly, "It's hard to control. Perhaps it really is a power that only gods can wield. I really don't know how the gods can endure this feeling."

"But do the real gods also have to endure this influence all the time? Are the so-called gods merely a collection of beliefs, or primordial beings that have long been distorted by those beliefs?"

“We have done too little research in this area, but I have a hypothesis.” Little Mad King took out a towel and tried to wipe Li Yelai’s clothes. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to let Li Yelai change his clothes instead: “The ‘forbidden zone order’ maintained by the kings of the forbidden zones may be, in essence, an extension and application of some kind of refined and controlled power of faith.”

“In some civilizations, the monarch is regarded as a demigod, perhaps because the monarch can control the power of faith? But my grandfather never told me anything like that, maybe because the difference in levels is too great, and there is no need for contact. Or perhaps, there are other reasons?” After thinking for a while, the Little Mad King replied, “But I am certain that my grandfather was never influenced by any will.”

"Although the wonder is considered a 'false base,' it unexpectedly possesses some of the powers of a 'throne'?" Li Yelai muttered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly. He could only nod helplessly in agreement with this deduction.

Within the giant city, there were indeed no openly worshipping followers or religions of the Old Mad King. But almost everyone, from warriors to commoners, firmly believed that the Old Mad King was the pillar that held human civilization together.

This near-absolute trust and reliance may itself be another form of faith?

If this wonder can be successfully brought out of this world, perhaps the rulers of the human camp can study it and gain inspiration from it regarding the application of the power of faith.

After all, Li Yelai himself is still far from being a monarch, and is not even a true divine being yet.

etc.
He suddenly realized a possibility he had overlooked: he really could be!
His future self, his projection originating from the Sea of ​​Heroic Spirits, doesn't it contain a genuine monarch?!

With that thought in mind, Li Yelai no longer hesitated. After quickly changing into clean clothes, he immediately activated the power of the Heroic Spirit Sea.

At the same time, the divinity he had just acquired and was not yet fully familiar with was instantly consumed in large quantities, like a floodgate being opened!

This astonishing rate of consumption made Li Yelai exclaim "Holy crap!"

Good heavens, I just "borrowed" the divinity of a hegemon, and the cost of summoning heroic spirits has become so outrageous?

However, the enormous expenditure also brought corresponding rewards. He could clearly feel that the presence and power fluctuations of the summoned heroic spirits were far stronger than ever before!
As a wisp of azure flame suddenly ignited, Dawnbreaker, clad in white robes and black armor, stepped out from the fire. The moment he appeared, his gaze fell upon Little Mad King, and he nodded slightly in greeting: "We meet again, Lord Hunter King. It seems that you still have to worry about the safety of my main body."

On the other side, the champion's cape fluttered and rustled even without wind.

The figure of the King of Candlelight silently appeared, his eyes seemingly reflecting the rotation of the sun and moon. He nodded to the Little Mad King and then said, "I salute you, Blade of Vengeance."

"Just call me Little Mad King." Little Mad King shook his head slightly.

Although Zhu Ye and Po Xiao look extremely similar to Li Ye, they are ultimately not her partners.

Moreover, she wasn't used to being called the Hunter King or the Blade of Vengeance, regardless of the great achievements she had made in the other two timelines. At least for now, she was just a ruler.

Zhu Ye didn't mind, and complained to Li Ye in a hoarse voice, "You rarely summon me in broad daylight. In the end, it's just to conduct an experiment?"

However, the next moment, Zhu Ye seemed to sense something was amiss, frowned, and then looked up at the sky.

Or rather, it's gazing at the sun high in the sky.

The illusory images of the sun and moon that were spinning in his eyes paused slightly and flickered for a moment. For that instant, the sky seemed to dim for a moment, then returned to normal.

“This ‘sun’ is not this star; it’s a bit strange.” He frowned slightly.

Li Yelai had originally planned to first inquire of Dawn Lord's insights regarding wonders and the power of faith, since he had once been a true monarch-level powerhouse and might possess unique perspectives. Upon hearing this, he was taken aback: "The sun? What's the problem?"

The mythical counterpart of the Candle Night is the Candle Dragon, whose open eyes represent day and closed eyes represent night.

Its perception of the sun, moon, and stars may have some function.

“This star is too perfect.” The King of Candlelight’s gaze remained fixed on the sun in the sky. “It’s so perfect that it doesn’t seem like a creation of nature. Moreover, the energy it emits feels very strange to me. It’s completely different from any ‘sun’ I’ve ever seen.”

"How many suns have you seen?" Dawn asked.

"Each forbidden zone is an independent, distorted space with its own unique rules. The starry sky and 'sun' that can be observed there are completely different from those in our main world," the King of Candlelight explained simply. "Back then, in order to fulfill the requirement of the 'Sun and Moon Shining Together' phenomenon, I traveled through many forbidden zones and witnessed all sorts of strange 'celestial bodies'."

"But there's something strange about this one. Its very existence exudes an indescribable sense of disharmony."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ye said, "Or rather, is it man-made?"

Dawn grinned: "It might not be human!" (End of Chapter)
