Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

When the man said his name, he remembered his own existence.

In every corner of the real world, as Li Yelai's existence was re-anchored, the thick fog in the minds of countless people related to him was instantly dispelled!
The battlefield at sea, a den of monsters.

The confusion in Yang Chen's eyes, the eighth-generation champion, vanished, replaced by a shimmering golden light.

With his indestructible golden body unleashed at full power, the aura surrounding his halberd had turned blood red.

"Li Yelai, the Night General, inheritor of the ninth generation champion's will, a hero of humanity."

He murmured the almost forgotten name, a slight smile appearing on his face: "I knew it, something felt missing. Turns out it's you, kid!"

His aura suddenly erupted, and he had no idea what Li Yelai had encountered.

But now, as a senior, as the eighth-generation champion, I should clear obstacles for the younger generation!
On the battlefield in the sea outside the Ghost Realm, the fighting had already turned the area into a bloody mess.

The puppet that had been transformed into a killing god suddenly regained its radiance on its exquisite yet empty face. The lingering pain, as if its heart had been ripped out, vanished instantly.

"Xiaoye," she murmured to herself, like a lost child finally finding her family, "You mustn't forget again!"

She exuded a dangerous and tyrannical aura, as if she had regained control.

Meanwhile, in the distant battlefield of the ship's cabin, Cheese looked at the scar on his arm that was only marked with a single stroke.

"What happened to you, you bastard? I hope you don't have any scars," she whispered, then took a deep breath and cast a spell on herself again.

I will always remember this, and never forget it.

Inside the place of opportunity, Wei Yang, who was setting up the King-Slaying Killing Array, trembled and nearly crushed the array plate in her hand. She and the other Heavenly Evolution Walkers exchanged glances, all seeing horror in each other's eyes.

"Champion, Li Yelai. That variable who repeatedly thwarted our plans!" Wei Yang's face was so dark it could drip water: "Did we collectively forget his existence? Was it some kind of erasure involving causality? But how exactly did he break free?"

"Damn it, I wish you had just disappeared!"

And deep within the forbidden zone of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Mordi, who was just immersed in the ecstasy of being promoted to Supreme, suddenly stopped his joyful roar.

As if an invisible hand had gripped his throat, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

That name, that figure, that crushing defeat. And those nightmarish words.
'I'm right here, waiting for you to come and kill me!'

All the memories, all the humiliation and fear, surged back like a flood bursting its banks, shattering his newly formed supreme state of mind!
"No!" he roared, his voice filled with even greater pain and despair than before, as the opportunity for promotion became increasingly uncertain.

He remembered—that man! His inner demons resurfaced!
At the same time, deep within the highest heavens of the 'Core World', a low, regretful sigh echoed.

"That's such a shame."

"In the end, we were one step behind."

If the Chosen One of Chaos could get to Li Yelai first, taking advantage of his blank memories and self-loss, he could forcibly infuse him with the origin of chaos.

No matter how brilliant a human champion he was, in that state, he would be completely corrupted and become the perfect chosen one of the evil gods!
Even if he eventually breaks through the confusion, he will only become the most loyal blade of chaos.

With his abilities and exceptional talent, with a little nurturing, he could become another prince under the throne, or even higher!

What a pity, what a pity!
The gods' scheme failed at the last moment!
The connection between the High Heaven and the material world was forcibly severed, and the power of God's chosen one was stripped away from its source.

In the end, it was that humble Blue Flame believer who awakened him with his burning life.
This caused the gods, especially the God of Blood, to feel endless regret and rage!
His wrath nearly consumed the entire High Heavens! He was confident that he could mold this child into the foremost deity beneath the throne, or even stronger!

However, all of this was stopped. By the Azure Flame Lord, who appeared out of nowhere!
The Blood God was naturally unaware that the birth of this Lord of Azure Flames was indeed subtly related to His true form.

It must be said that the Blood God's eye for choosing gods was indeed sharp! In the process of choosing, he picked out a Chaos God!

But even the gods were puzzled. The Lord of Azure Flames clearly held a golden opportunity, so why didn't he transform Li Yelai into his chosen one, instead actively helping him awaken? "If you don't want it, we'd be more than happy to have it!"

But for the Lord of Azure Flames, does He need a reason to protect humanity?

Li Yelai is forging ahead on his own path; igniting the Azure Flame is only a matter of time. Just like that Dawn Lord, who comes from another timeline.

Even if they can't be lit, they still arrive at the same goal through different paths.

Of course, due to the interference of some hidden entity, Li Yelai's journey on the Path of Azure Flame was delayed considerably.

The moment the Lord of Azure Flames awakened Li Yelai, He glimpsed the monster lurking in the abyss of his consciousness.

Wow, what a sight! Reversing time and causality, forcibly crossing over, an existence that shouldn't exist in this time and space.

If the Lord of Azure Flames hadn't sensed no malice in their actions, he probably would have had to personally descend into the material world to investigate.

The battle in the highest heavens did not cease. While the gods kept a close eye on the changes in the material world, they also showed no mercy in their desire to kill each other.

As the struggle for Li Yelai came to an end, the enormous black hole that had once devoured everything quietly dissipated and reappeared behind the Lord of Azure Flames, like an eternal shadow, shaking the entire universe.

On the other side, the immortal's figure flickered, transforming into the Three Pure Ones.

The three supreme avatars each wielded a 'Chaos Sword' forged from chaos by the gods, and together with the peerless human emperor in dragon robes, they set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to continue to firmly lock down the highest heavens!
This makes it difficult for the powers of the Chaos Gods to directly intervene in the material world.

At the very least, those powerful Chaos Artifacts are no longer something to be easily used. As for divine favor, it's useless even if they are!

"Is it settled?" the immortal asked calmly.

"Naturally," the Lord of Azure Flames replied. "No divine decree was issued. It was humanity's own choice; they chose to awaken him."

"Does he have your legacy?" the Lord of Azure Flames asked in turn.

The immortal nodded slightly. Although he didn't know the specifics, he could deduce the general outline. The inheritance Li Yelai possessed might come from the future.
The Lord of Azure Flames greatly admired Li Yelai.

After all, he was someone who could become the Azure Flame True Monarch in another timeline, which he greatly admired.

Putting everything else aside, the Blood God's eye for selecting top-tier gods is indeed unique.

Moreover, He vaguely saw the shadow of an old friend in Li Yelai.

Of course, I'm referring to that unique 'luck'.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a plague god from Heaven."

“Even the Plague God would probably say he doesn’t live that long. The old friend you mentioned, is he called Big Iron Pestle?” the immortal asked. “Indeed, I generally don’t want to get close to him,” the Lord of Azure Flames chuckled.

The Human Emperor looked down at the material world and sighed. He saw the future of the world, but was powerless to change it.

He had already seen it; the world-devouring crimson curse was sweeping across the world like a tsunami.

The immortal and the Lord of Azure Flame fell silent, then unleashed even greater combat power.

"Qingyan, since you don't want that chosen one, why are you stopping it?" a Chaos Lesser God asked.

The Lord of Azure Flames remained silent, only continuing to draw his bow.

Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you ask me questions?

On the other side, on the battlefield, the moment Li Yelai completely broke through his confusion and rediscovered himself.

An extremely terrifying killing intent spread out as if it were a tangible force, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield!
All the Chosen Ones of Chaos felt a chill run down their spines, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Emperor's death!"

"Emperor Fall, you are the chosen one for eternity!"

"calm!"

As their understanding returned, they naturally recalled Li Yelai's other identity: the leader of the Chaos faction, the eternally chosen one selected by all the gods!
This is the pinnacle of power that Chaos believers can reach in the material world. Even the Chaos Prince and the Chaos Demon must show sufficient respect to the Eternal Chosen.

But at this moment, this chosen one of eternity revealed an undisguised, chilling killing intent. It was a merciless killing intent directed at all enemies of humanity!
The chosen ones were both bewildered and terrified.

They desperately wanted to ask, "Why has Your Majesty rebelled?"

Li Yelai's gaze swept across the entire battlefield like lightning, his champion's cape fluttering wildly behind him.

His terrifying experience of being swallowed by the chaotic sea caused him to lose everything.

Skills, abilities, talents, memories—everything was forcibly wiped away. In the beginning, even breathing and standing were incredibly difficult for him; he could only act on his most primal instincts.

This period put him in danger many times. He fought against countless wanderers purely with his physical instincts, without relying on psychic power or divinity, resulting in numerous wounds on his body.

If it weren't for the resonance between the Lord of Azure Flame and the Dawn Lord within the Sea of ​​Heroes, he would likely have needed a much longer time to recover, or perhaps been intercepted by the Chaos faction beforehand.

The Chaos Sea is terrifying! Even a brief immersion in it has caused such a horrific effect. Imagine being trapped within it any longer!
Must I transform into the state of the terrifying demon 'Nothingness'? Unremembered, undetected, even the very concept of existence itself is erased.
In the end, no one will remember themselves: Doll, Cheese, Little Sister, Yang Chen, Jing Lin.
They will all forget themselves.
It's terrifying. What will happen to them after I disappear?
Mr. Shadow, on the other hand, had absolutely no intention of interfering!
Yes, this guy is eager for me to make a deal with Him. It's already a sign of some conscience that he didn't try to deceive me while I was in a daze.

But after he saw through the illusion and rediscovered his true self, he also encountered an unprecedented opportunity.

The opportunity to ascend to hegemony has arrived.
No, even on the road to promotion after that, the mental bottleneck will be greatly reduced.

He has successfully achieved self-awareness.

This is precisely what the ancient Heavenly Court referred to as the "true self".

If it weren't for the fundamental problems with the illusory realm of this world, he could have broken through the barrier and become a hegemon right now!
It seems that I can only take the potion to achieve this breakthrough after leaving this world.

This is an immense opportunity! For Li Yelai, it even surpasses the technology of the Foundation Wonder.

Although it wasn't what I expected, it was definitely a stroke of luck, wasn't it?
Li Yelai's mind raced, and he immediately looked at the girl behind him.

After the surrounding wanderers dispersed, she quietly returned to his side, like a fledgling bird returning to its nest, and reached out to tightly grasp his arm.

He looked at the girl's blood-stained clothes, at her still bewildered yet dependent eyes, and at the clear bite mark on her lips.
A strong sense of guilt suddenly gripped his heart.

During that period of confusion, he did such a thing to her, taking advantage of her trust and attachment, leaving a brutal wound on her lips.

Even though she had lost her memory, she still instinctively followed him, protected him, and even risked her own safety to shield him from attacks in times of crisis. She remained as reliable as ever.
This is perhaps Little Mad King's most instinctive reaction. As her only teammate and partner, deep down she doesn't want to get hurt.

He gently raised his hand, wanting to touch the wound on her lips, but stopped halfway.

His fingertips trembled slightly, eventually turning into a barely audible sigh.

I'm sorry I've dragged you down.

Li Yelai and Little Mad King were both swallowed by the Chaos Sea, and naturally they also experienced the calamity of their "existence" being forgotten.

Now, with the resonance of the Dawn Lord, Li Yelai has broken through the illusion, regained his true self, and thus gained an unprecedented opportunity. However, the Little Mad King was not so fortunate as to recover directly.

She remained deeply shrouded in a fog of cognition. Her previous assistance and cooperation were entirely driven by memories imprinted in her combat instincts and that inexplicable trust.

But in Li Yelai's already clear perception, the traces of her existence had not been completely "erased," but were gradually becoming more distinct. She must be slowly recovering, but he didn't know how long it would take.

Li Yelai withdrew his gaze from her, but did not pull away from the arm she was tightly gripping. He raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire ravaged battlefield.

Apart from myself and Little Mad King, all the "outsiders" have been either killed or fled this world.

The struggle over the ownership of the world has come to an end, so these Chosen Ones of Chaos need not remain any longer.

In the distance, the shattered bronze demon god rose up once more!

That was the old Mad King's imitation tear. Although it had been eroded by the Chaos Sea, leaving only one of its six towering arms and its majestic body covered with traces of degeneration and dissolution, it still exuded a terrifying, supreme-level pressure!
"Kill them all." Li Yelai calmly ordered, his gilded wings unfurling behind him. The bronze demon god then let out a deafening roar, its supreme divinity surging like a tsunami!
"Emperor Fall! You traitor!" a chosen one roared in disbelief, then attempted a final desperate gamble: "Activate the Chaos Artifact! Summon the Chaos Power and slay this fiend!"

However, all the Chaos artifacts they carried were lifeless, offering no response. No matter how they sacrificed or pleaded, they received no reply from the High Heavens.

On the contrary, their once loyal elite Chaos Legion suddenly turned its attention to the former commander and launched a ruthless surprise attack!
Li Yelai is ultimately the eternal chosen one selected by all the gods, and his authority surpasses that of all other chosen gods!
Thus, when the incomplete bronze demon god stepped onto the battlefield with a trembling gait, a bloody purge against the chosen ones of chaos officially began.

Having just experienced the dissipation of divine favor and being unable to use sacred artifacts, the chosen ones were utterly powerless to resist the legion's "rebellion" and the crushing power of the demon god.

Some chosen ones attempted to tear through space to escape, but instead appeared directly in front of Li Yelai, offering themselves up to die.

You're bound to encounter a formidable foe; if you don't kill me, you think you can just leave?

Thus, when Li Yelai transformed into a golden stream of light and began to precisely kill the Chaos Chosen Ones who were either held back or fleeing.

All the chosen ones were plunged into despair. What kind of nightmare was this? The original leader had betrayed them with his elite army? Then who was the real traitor?

Dao Mou stared at Li Yelai, who had suddenly appeared before him. Even during this pursuit of the Chosen One, Li Yelai had kept the bewildered girl by his side, giving her no chance to back down!
"What a wonderful performance. It's a pity I didn't get to see the end." Dao Mou helplessly spread his hands, uttering his final lines as a schemer.

Then, Li Yelai chopped off his head. (End of Chapter)
