Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The influence of variables on the Book of Fate continues.

The return of the Yan Yun is the best proof!

Even now, the Celestial Traveler is probably still completely baffled. He has no idea who could have launched such a precise and deadly attack on their secret base, hidden deep on the edge of the secret realm, a place that theoretically should never have been discovered by chance.

In the compilation of the Book of Destiny, that island base should be absolutely safe, quietly waiting for their 'finished product' to mature, and then quietly being deployed to a key node to stir up the winds and clouds.

And it was precisely for this reason that Zhao Gang inherited the foundation of that base and built a new fleet.

This can be considered as intercepting one of Tianyan Xingzhe's trump cards.

The ghost fleet? It belongs to humanity now!

It feels amazing to snatch Tianyan Xingzhe's thunderbolt!
Zhao Gang, meanwhile, was observing the changes in the expressions of the others. Those beasts were cruel, but they were still human after all.

He wasn't sure if his massacre of a human force would cause any internal problems. He even suspected it was the work of some major city.

After all, when he first met Li Yelai and Jing Lin, he did not obtain any information about the Heavenly Evolution Walker.

Li Ye saw his worry and explained, "No matter what force uses such methods, they are no longer human. You did the right thing! Moreover, they are most likely Heavenly Evolution Walkers."

Li Yelai introduced him to the Celestial Walker and the Book of Destiny.

“I see. Fate? No wonder you said there are variables,” Zhao Gang nodded and continued, “Now, with the cover of the sea fog lanterns, we can relatively easily evade the regular maritime patrols and long-range detection of the restricted area. In a naval warfare environment, we have a great deal of initiative. Unless they have the ability to carry out a super-wide, indiscriminate saturation attack, shoveling through the entire area that the sea fog may cover, it will be difficult for them to accurately locate and attack us. But entering the restricted area still carries the risk of being discovered.”

“No problem, we have sufficiently detailed nautical charts. We also have comprehensive intelligence support. We can avoid heavily defended areas and infiltrate through relatively weak points. With your addition and the Yan Yun, our mobility, firepower, and stealth capabilities have all greatly increased,” Li Yelai replied. “Now, our return time will only be faster.”

Dark Flesh was still gathering intelligence on various sea areas for him, and finding a safe route from it wasn't difficult.

The only trouble is the possibility of pursuers lurking in the lost territory and the throat of the Ruins.

Zhao Gang smiled: "In this way, the giant city can rebuild its fleet. This is my duty, and also the wish of the departed."

"And it will be even stronger!" Chu He added, "The appearance of the Synergistic Pulse Array and the Mimicry Heavenly Soldiers allows the fleet to better suppress psionicists, as we have already experienced."

The weakness of the Meridian Array is that it can only be used for defensive battles, but if placed on a warship, it becomes a mobile artillery platform! As long as there are enough psychic Meridians, the warship's defense and offense will be greatly enhanced!
“I’m looking forward to it,” Zhao Gang patted the control panel. “The Yan Yun is looking forward to it too.”

As if in response to Zhao Gang's words, the Yan Yun ship sounded its horn on its own.

With the addition of the Zhao Gang and Border Fleets, and the continued cover provided by the sea fog lanterns, the homecoming fleet's sailing pressure was greatly reduced. No longer concealing itself, it sped forward with its engines at full power.

Although many analysts believed that the lost territory, due to internal turmoil, would be unable to send out a large-scale pursuit force, the further away from the restricted area, the better.

Within the fleet, cleanup efforts were quickly initiated, and the wounded received effective medical treatment.

The Forging General, equipped with a forging mech, shuttles between various warships, repairing their damage.

On the bridge of the Yan Yun, Chu He listened to Zhao Gang introduce the firepower of the Yan Yun and was very interested in the missile that could accelerate to Mach 10 at the terminal stage.

Immortal Lord Chang Le continued to maintain the suppression of the formation, making the cover of the sea fog even more perfect.

Li Yelai found a room and prepared to enter the Ark.

We need to inform the giant city of the current situation and take the opportunity to swindle some intelligence or supplies from Chaos.

As always, Little Mad King stood guard by his side.

Isabel and the others wandered outside, seemingly eager to talk to the Little Mad King. Li Yelai didn't care; as long as it wasn't that scoundrel Chang Le Xianjun, there wouldn't be any problem.

At least, others won't corrupt the Little Mad King.

Li Yelai calmed his mind and stopped paying attention to the outside world.

As he activated the Ark ticket, a familiar feeling of weightlessness suddenly overwhelmed him, and his vision was engulfed by a pure and intense white light.

As the white light fades, the feeling of being grounded returns, and the surrounding scenery has changed.

He returned to the Ark Hall.

"Captain, please contact Camellia for me," Li Yelai called out, then began to examine the prophetic murals inside the ark.

The murals haven't changed much, so it seems the calamity of the calamity will continue for quite some time.

Fine, let the Calamity Heirs wreak havoc on the forbidden zone. It's all just dogs fighting each other anyway!

Soon, Jing Lin arrived at the ark. Upon seeing Li Ye, he smiled and said, "It seems the plan has succeeded!"

"Many unexpected things happened, but the result was good." Li Yelai gave a brief introduction, including the full map cheat of the King of the Forbidden Zone, the truth about the Ghost Ship, and the existence of the Chi You fragments.

"These were all unexpected situations, quite a close call," Jing Lin remarked. "But at least we're safe now. How long do you expect to be back?"

"If there are no new unexpected interferences, with our current speed and stealth capabilities, we should be able to enter a relatively safe area of ​​international waters and get close to the designated rendezvous point in about twenty days," Li Yelai gave a relatively conservative estimate.

“Twenty days is good, that’s enough time for us to make our deployment. The dolls will come to meet you,” Jing Lin nodded. He then continued, “You and Captain Yang Chen, two current champions, one went missing at the Throat of Return to Nothingness, and the other’s body and soul were separated, and he is currently recuperating in secret. There’s a gap in the champion pool. People are already discussing who the tenth generation champion will be, and some have even started contacting Pang Hui.”

Every champion selects and trains a successor so that someone can take over the responsibilities of the champion in the event of some unforeseen circumstances.

For example, Yang Chen was one of the candidates to succeed the seventh champion. After the champion and the other successors died in battle, he took over the champion's cape.

And he only had one successor, namely Li Yelai.
Li Yelai did not disappoint him.

Furthermore, due to the appearance of the Tree of Time, two champions emerged simultaneously in one era.

However, the eighth and ninth generation champions encountered problems one after another.

Furthermore, Li Yelai has not yet designated a successor to the championship, which has stirred up the ambitions of some individuals.

In the timeline of King of Candlelight, the tenth champion is Pang Hui.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with it; as the champion, Li Yelai naturally needed to find a successor.

However, Li Yelai spent less time in the giant city than he did on missions.

I don't know much about the talented and determined members of the current champion team.

After all, Li Yelai hasn't been a champion for very long.
Pang Hui might be a good candidate; the boy who was rescued from the wilderness by Li Yelai and others proved his reliability in that timeline.

but.
"Pang Hui's identity should be top secret," Li Yelai frowned. Because they knew about the future of other timelines, the authorities had done a very good job of keeping these geniuses secret.

"Sigh," Jing Lin shrugged. "Have you forgotten? The Heavenly Evolution Traveler, through various means and channels, revealed some of the predictions from the Book of Destiny to various mega-cities. Pang Hui was among them." (End of Chapter)
