Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Neptune is well aware of the current situation.

Humanity, united in its hatred of the enemy, formed an allied army of twelve human city-states, and almost all the great supernatural beings and their families had already entered the battlefield.

Although the Human Alliance's defenses were gradually compressed by the 'Outsiders' forbidden zone technology and the sheer number of the side emperors.

However, the human alliance did not suffer a major defeat. Instead, they steadily and effectively resisted the enemy and ultimately abandoned the defensive line. They also buried a large amount of self-destructive materials or formations within the defensive line.

Meanwhile, the cities in the rear quickly evacuated their inhabitants and moved the wonders.

And as the human champions arrived at the front lines from the eastern battlefield, the front-line commander of the alien army was beheaded by the enemy.

If precautions had not been taken in advance, the front lines might have been left leaderless.

Moreover, on another front controlled by the Bone People civilization, it seems that powerful figures are also making moves in the shadows. Some Bone People witnessed blue flames igniting on the battlefield, and the surrounded human warriors staged several desperate counterattacks. Although they were all repelled, it still caused Hai Ming trouble.

The Lord of Azure Flames—in this world, a faith in the Lord of Azure Flames has actually appeared!
Having inherited the legacy of the Sea King, Hai Ming was well aware of the terror of this fifth evil god.

Before becoming a god, he had a great feud with the Merfolk civilization.

This made Hai Ming even more vigilant about the current battle situation. Considering the overall picture, he could certainly say that the advantage was on his side.

In terms of intelligence, manpower, and technology, the "world" surpasses the human alliance even on paper. But years of caution have led him to still prepare for the worst.

With the help of the Azure Flame Faith and the human champion, the situation that was originally a sure victory has now turned into a slight possibility of defeat.

He must reduce this probability.

The message from the Chaos faction brought him a sense of relief.

"Great! Emperor Yun has finally made his move. Damn it, we finally have a god-tier teammate! Once Emperor Yun launches his attack, everything will be alright."

In fact, if he had entered this world from the beginning, he could have mastered all the alien civilizations and controlled the three fronts.

He was confident that he could directly tie down the champion on the eastern front, preventing him from focusing on finishing off the enemy. Once the alien civilizations on the other two fronts successfully joined forces, they could secure a decisive victory.

As for a one-on-one duel with the champion, that's Emperor's job.

However, the Night Demon died too quickly, and the original great advantage was lost.

Then he would need other powerful external aid, and the Chaos Forces were the 'reinforcements' he was considering.

Di Yun may seem arrogant, but he certainly has the right to be.

He may be able to challenge the champion, and he also has the power to integrate the disparate, chaotic factions into one.

So when the messenger from the Chaos faction came in person to convey the message of 'cooperation'...

Hai Ming readily agreed.

He naturally knew that the Chaos faction had already accepted Emperor's call and amassed a powerful force during this period.

At the same time, he invited 'Emperor's Fall' to the front-line command post. If the champion were to carry out another decapitation strike, Emperor's Fall would have the opportunity to fight the champion one-on-one.

It can also protect the powerful beings on the front lines. Thinking of this, Hai Ming said to the other two merfolk, "Then we will see if Di Yun can rival the champion."

"Hai Ming, don't you want the glory of beheading the champion?" a merman overlord asked.

"In this world, the champion who obtains divinity is invincible. With the gods unable to intervene, he can truly kill any one of us. Don't deny it, don't be unconvinced, and don't try to. He is that strong; apart from Emperor Yan, probably no one can stand against him."

"Moreover, this world is ultimately fake. The probability of successfully killing the champion is too low. He can leave this world at any time."

Hai Ming calmly said, "After leaving this world, the killing formation set up by Tianyan Xingzhe will be his final battle. Therefore, we only need to watch whether Di Yun can win this glory. If he can, I will congratulate him. Given the relationship between our Forbidden Zone and the Eternal Faction, this is only natural, as it concerns future cooperation. If he can't, it doesn't matter. After we achieve our predetermined goal and leave, the champion will be ours anyway!"

"It's truly incomprehensible. Aren't the Celestial Walkers also human? At least, almost all of those we've encountered so far have been human," a female merman asked. "And the human champion is also human. Is it a competition among humankinds?"

"We in the Throat of Return to Nothingness have also had such struggles, and the methods were equally cruel and bloody. However, when faced with external enemies, the various tribes would often put aside their past grievances and join forces against the enemy. The great 'Sea Lord' did just that, integrating the power of all the tribes." Hai Ming replied, "However, when facing hostility from the major forbidden zones, remembering to eliminate geniuses like the champion is really just a matter of choice."

"A choice?" The female merman was taken aback. "If the Dragon Transformation Pool can turn pure humans into our own kind, even the Supreme Being would probably take action, grab the champion, and stuff him into the Dragon Transformation Pool, right? With such talent and strength, what is there to choose?"

The Forbidden Zone despises human champions, but if it could transform human champions into beings within the Forbidden Zone, even if they were humans within the Forbidden Zone.

They'll probably all try to capture the championship alive. Okay, those words together are a bit crazy. But it's enough to prove how much the penalty area values ​​the championship.

Unfortunately, the Forbidden Zone lacks that ability. Its order can only subtly distort lower-level psionicists, turning them into Forbidden Zone humans. Someone of Li Yelai's level has absolutely no hope.

In this respect, chaos and corruption are the experts. Unfortunately, they haven't been seen corrupting any champions.

"It's a choice between fate and variables," Hai Ming replied calmly. "In the eyes of the Heavenly Evolution Walker, according to the predictions of the Book of Destiny, humanity will experience all kinds of hardships, but it will also give birth to all kinds of geniuses. They will either become supreme beings or kings. But the ninth generation champion has appeared as a variable, and the growth path of these people has been disrupted. They even said that our acquisition of the Dragon Transformation Pool was an intervention of the predictions of the Book of Destiny. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Compared to the many strong individuals who will emerge in the future, a single champion is naturally insignificant."

"Even if the champion is a human hero, they would feel at ease letting him die, but for us, there would be no loss."

Neptune made a summary.

"Alright, let's arrange the cooperation. Add the Chaos faction to the battle. The two fronts will soon be joined together," Hai Ming said. "After that, we'll await Emperor's arrival. In that Blazing Abyss, we'll utterly destroy humanity's last hope!"

Meanwhile, within the holy and glorious city-state...

Zhu Ye's fingers steadily traced the military map spread out on the stone platform. The holy and beautiful heroine stood quietly to the side, her eyes lowered as she watched his moving fingers, her clear eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight and trust.

Zhu Ye's hoarse voice echoed in the solemn hall, carrying an unquestionable reliability.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, on the ruins of a city ravaged by war.

The allied soldiers, their bodies covered in wounds, sat silently around the dim campfire.

As dawn broke, the deep, devout prayers carried on the wind to the hearts of every soldier. In their eyes, a blue flame ignited!

And in the chaotic, blasphemous palace, on the throne.

After reading the cooperation message from the alien race, Li Ye gave a low smile.

(Happy National Day everyone! ヽ(￣▽￣))
