Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Li Yelai descended from the sky, landing on the end of the halberd and taking a slight step.

The ancestor's body was torn to pieces, and the ejected eyeballs rolled into the broken cabin and finally landed in the burning ruins.

Until death came, the ancestor's heart was filled with resentment and regret.

Unwilling to see his decades-long plan completely ruined.

He regretted that his luck was so bad.

You could just pick any ship and run into the human champions and the Azure Flame Chosen.
But there was no fear of death.

As beings of the Void Realm, they are immortal and indestructible; each death simply results in their being banished back to the Void Realm.

Sooner or later, they will find another opportunity to obtain a physical body, or break down the barrier between the virtual world and the physical world and truly step into the physical world!
It's okay that we failed this time.

Time in the illusory realm is meaningless; he can wait. He can wait until the human champion dies, until the Azure Flame Chosen falls, until the next opportunity arrives. He will eventually return!

Then he saw Mr. Shadow.
Still want to come back?

There is no such thing as exile with Li Yelai. All beings who die at Li Yelai's hands will be devoured by Mr. Shadow.

Want to get out? You'd better pray that Mr. Shadow will pull you out!

This is also why Li Yelai personally took action to sweep away the demons.

None of these creatures from the virtual realm were able to return to the virtual realm!

but
Li Yelai glanced strangely at the shattered cabin, looking at the remaining corpses and burning vehicles: "How come there are so many Void Realm creatures here?"

Although this place is still far from the giant city, it is still very troublesome for the creatures of the Void Realm to take over the bodies of psionicists.

Without the forceful intervention of evil rituals or special mediums, they can only take advantage of the psychic's advancement, seize their projected consciousness, and occupy their soul well in order to take over their physical body.

Furthermore, it needs to have a certain degree of compatibility with the host's psionic characteristics; otherwise, the rejection reaction will be extremely severe.

These dozens of
What? All these psionicists advanced at the same time? And then, by chance, their abilities were all taken over at the same time?
That shouldn't be the case. How could so many low-probability coincidences come together? They're not as unlucky as Li Ye.

Could it be some kind of conspiracy? Or is someone setting up an evil ritual here?
As Li Yelai was pondering, he sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the distance.

Among them were several old acquaintances.

"To think we'd run into each other here. It's been a long time." Li Yelai smiled as he looked at the approaching figure in the distance.

When the Ranger squad and the Ranger/Disposal squad arrived, they found the ship nearly sunk and the ground littered with corpses.

The ship itself was in a terrible state. The deck had collapsed in many places, the bulkheads were severely damaged, exposing the twisted keel and pipes inside, and seawater was gushing in from several large breaches. The ship was clearly listing and was already in a semi-submerged state.

Even more shocking were the corpses scattered everywhere, in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Most of them were the distorted and deformed remains of various monsters, still in the postures of their last frantic attacks or attempts to escape before they died. Their limbs were broken, their shells were shattered, and viscous, strangely colored bodily fluids and fragments of internal organs covered the decks and bulkheads.

On some of the remains, one can still vaguely discern the outlines that once belonged to humans, adding to the eeriness.

In addition, there were a few human corpses dressed in sailor uniforms or guard uniforms, their deaths gruesome, clearly indicating they perished in the initial chaos and massacre.

Then, they saw Li Yelai and his two companions finishing off the attackers.

When Xinghuo confirmed that it was Li Ye, she burst out laughing: "Wow, it really is you! Brother Ye!"

Yingliu also looked surprised: "Brother Ye? What are you doing here? Aren't you..."

The lion looked at Li Yelai's face, recalled for a moment, and then said with admiration and respect, "You are... His Excellency the Champion?"

He had never had any contact with Li Yelai, but Li Yelai's reputation for killing more than twenty overlords and a supreme being had already spread to various major cities.

The Hung family's good relationship with the champion was envied by many families. It was considered their most successful investment!
Even the usually expressionless and emotionless heavy cavalrymen revealed a slight smile at this moment.

But when her gaze fell upon the tall, aloof girl beside Li Yelai, she paused slightly. She then replied, "Your Excellency, the Little Mad King?"

Although Little Mad King used to be mysterious, many people had never even seen her.

But as the leader of the night scout group, the heavy cavalry knew this person.

She has many labels.

The city lord's adopted daughter, a relative of the family, powerful, mysterious, cold, aloof, untrustworthy, numb, and lacking in boundaries.
Most of these cases arose because of her curse, which was maliciously interpreted by outsiders.

However, only now, after seeing it with her own eyes, did she discover the existence of the Little Mad King.

Such incredible stealth ability! Not a single trace of psionic energy fluctuation was detected. Even though she was right here, there was nothing in my senses.

As expected, the city's strongest assassin truly lives up to his name!
I really need to practice my Shadow Stream technique.
Strangely, Little Mad King did not respond to her greeting. Instead, he glanced at the heavy cavalry with a hint of confusion and continued to hide behind Li Yelai.

This left Xinghuo, the Heavy Cavalry, and the others with strange expressions. Something didn't seem right about this relationship.
"Don't misunderstand, she's currently suffering from amnesia. Her not understanding anything doesn't mean she's indifferent to you," Li Yelai explained.

Starfire and Shadow Stream exchanged a glance.

"Wow, sis, we're in for a show!"

'Hmph, rivers of blood!'

Li Yelai didn't notice the exchange of glances between the brother and sister, but looked at them with considerable emotion.

Back then, they were all newcomers.

Now, Li Yelai has become the champion and ascended to the position of overlord.

They have all grown; Heavy Cavalry and Starfire are now at the fifth awakening, and Shadow Stream has reached the fourth awakening.

Among them, the young girl, Chongqi, seems to be on the verge of reaching the sixth sense. She's really strong. Back then, Li Yelai and Jing Lin were involved in the incident where she was taken away for marriage. Now, she's already a capable leader of the Night Watch team.

Xinghuo, however, had long lost his initial impulsiveness and naivety. To reach the Fifth Sense at such a young age, he must have experienced a great deal.
His sister, Shadow Stream, is also quite good. Although she's only at the fourth awakening level, her ability to conceal her presence is already evident. It seems she's going down the assassin path.

As for Lion, he's not a newcomer from the same period, so I'm not very familiar with him. But he seems quite reliable.

This is the Rangers
"Team Leader Benlei, the glory of the Rangers has not vanished; the successor you chose is carrying it forward." Li Yelai thought to himself, then asked, "But, are you on a mission nearby? Why have you come this far?" The team before him was a mixed bag: a group of handlers responsible for handling extraordinary events within the giant city, a scout team responsible for dangerous missions outside the high walls, and...wilderness rangers?

“Yes, we were hunting sub-dragons in the restricted area when we received a distress call on our way back, so we chased after them all the way here, even blowing up the engine of our car. But it looks like we won’t need to now.” Xinghuo pointed to the wreckage on the ground and complained, “They were really unlucky to run into you.”

"Xinghuo, you little brat, are you going to steal my offerings again?" Li Yelai laughed.

"Hey, I know you won't die, you have a long shelf life."

With Xinghuo's current access level, all they know is that Li Yelai went missing during the great battle a month ago and was dragged into the forbidden zone's waters by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone. His fate is unknown.

He habitually prepared offerings for Li Yelai, but considering that Li Yelai had 'come back to life' multiple times, the offerings this time had a long shelf life.

And given Xinghuo's current physique, she shouldn't get an upset stomach, right?
The wandering knights looked at Chu He, whom they saw as an unfamiliar chosen one.

Chu He smiled and introduced himself to them: "Fellow countrymen, I come from the lost land, I am Chu He."

Having just arrived in the human world, he encountered a wilderness ranger who also worshipped the Lord of Azure Flames. Wasn't that a good thing?

"The Lost Lands... You escaped?" The leading ranger looked shocked, clearly knowing some of the information. His face lit up with joy: "Congratulations!"

"There's something even better." Chu He chuckled, snapped his fingers, and black mist billowed out, with eerie black shadows twisting around.

The next moment, crimson eyes and eerie, sharp fangs emerged from the indescribable shadows, lunging directly at the corpses of the illusory creatures and feasting on them.

The heavy cavalry and others looked wary, and the processing team even subconsciously raised their thermoelectric guns.

This monster is dangerous and looks like a villain!

The two relatively young rangers also looked shocked and wary, instinctively gripping their weapons tighter.

Only the leading ranger, after a moment of stunned silence, burst into laughter: "The Hound of Tindaros! Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

He circled the monster excitedly: "The Tindaros Hound actually exists in this world? That's amazing!"

The heavy cavalry were completely bewildered and couldn't understand what was happening.

Not only do these wanderers have a bad habit of painting walls, but their taste is also so peculiar?
Li Yelai had no choice but to explain: "The Lord of Azure Flame has personally selected these combat partners for them, and they have a special Chaos Contract."

"Does Lord Qingyan like dogs that much?" Xinghuo complained.

"Actually, the Tindaros Hound isn't a dog; it's just called that," the team leader, who had some knowledge of the occult, explained. "It's a powerful, immortal monster that travels outside of time. Once it's targeted, there's only one way out: death. It will relentlessly hunt until it completely kills its target. That's why it's called a hound."

So, a dozen minutes later, the ranger successfully and without incident signed a contract with a Tindaros Hound using the Azure Flame Pact. Once other rangers are qualified to forge contracts, they can use marking to attract other Tindaros Hounds and spread the practice. The strength of the Wilderness Rangers will be significantly enhanced!

During this time, the heavy cavalry also learned about Li Yelai's experiences. From his accidental arrival in the Lost Lands, to his reunion with the local pure-blooded humans, and his escape from the Lost Lands. Some information was omitted, such as the Ark.

"Then, you fought your way back from the lost lands, finally saw land again, and were about to find a caravan to have a meal, only to have your table overturned?" Xinghuo was greatly shocked: "They really have guts!"

"They ran right into three overlords, including the human champion, the strongest assassin, and the Azure Flame Chosen. Their luck is just too incredible," Shadow Stream remarked.

"So, are you going to continue forward and rendezvous with the support team?" the heavy cavalryman asked.

“Yes, the sea route is much easier than the land route. We should be able to meet up with them in another seven or eight hours. You should board the ship too; I can give you a ride along the way,” Li Yelai said.

After thinking for a moment, the heavy cavalryman nodded: "Alright."

The disposal team nodded repeatedly; they had completed their mission without major incident. Not a single fugitive escaped, and they even captured one prisoner. Traveling by fleet was naturally much easier.

The wandering knights waved their hands in refusal, saying that since the criminals had already been dealt with, they would not linger any longer.

This time, they severely tortured several doctors and nurses at the hospital who were covering for that family, finally uncovering the truth. They also conveniently murdered a local tycoon who had helped the family resolve the matter. They didn't want to get entangled with Jucheng any further.

Li Yelai and Chu He naturally wouldn't force them. After gifting them some high-level psionic weapons and medical supplies, they watched them leave.

This is what a wandering knight is like.
Fearless of power, resisting injustice.
No wonder Li Yelai from another timeline became a wandering knight and the Chosen One of the Azure Flame.

The chivalrous style of the wandering knights was indeed very much to Li Yelai's liking.

When I finally conquer all the restricted areas, I can retire and try being a wilderness adventurer?

Soon everyone boarded the fleet, and some merchant ships, after confirming that it was a human fleet, also followed behind it in an unspoken agreement.

Some veteran captains were so overjoyed that they wept tears of joy, for humanity finally had a fleet again!

Inside the cabin of the Yan Yun, the heavy cavalry and others met the old captain Zhao Gang and bowed to him respectfully, without showing any resistance because he was a living corpse.

Even as a zombie, he is still the captain of the human fleet!
This greatly excited Zhao Gang, who returned the salute. The ship's spirit also sounded its horn, as if in response to the crowd.

Afterwards, the group, now settled, chatted with Li Yelai, Chu He, and the others.

Most of them are the various customs and characteristics of the big city.

"It's a pity that three people are missing, otherwise this gathering would have been perfect," Xinghuo said to Li Yelai.

"Three people?" Li Yelai asked, somewhat puzzled.

The new recruits in the same batch are Li Yelai, Heavy Cavalry, Xinghuo, Yingliu, and Detective.

In addition, there was the mentor, Cheese, who was experienced in mentoring newcomers.
Um, Li Yelai shouldn't be considered a disciple who defies his master, right?
Now, only the detective and the cheese are gone.

Where did these three people come from?
"Huh? Brother Ye, have you lost your memory?" Xinghuo asked in surprise, "Back then, there were six of us newcomers."

"Don't be ridiculous, where did you get six people?" Li Yelai waved his hand. "I'm not much older than you, how could I have dementia? Now that Cheese and Detective aren't here, who else is there?"

Upon hearing this, both the Heavy Cavalry and the Shadow Stream looked puzzled.

The heavy cavalryman asked, "Have you forgotten the Mirror River?"

Li Yelai was taken aback after confirming that none of the people he knew had the code name 'Mirror River'.

With a serious expression, he asked, "Who is Jinghe?" (End of Chapter)
