Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The heads on the altar were burned to ashes and offered to the great gods in the illusory realm.

Li Yelai was also blessed and given a new name.

This is the chosen one, an existence that walks the path of slaughter and is watched by the gods!
The followers of the Church of the Ashes knelt devoutly beneath the altar, worshipping and welcoming their chosen one.

The Chosen Emperor has fallen!
The Chosen Emperor's Demise, which was Li Yelai's true intention, was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Blood River truly blessed him, increasing his spiritual energy and granting him information about chaos, as well as some forbidden knowledge.

No wonder some of the members of the Ember Church leveled up so quickly; it turns out they could gain advancement simply by offering sacrifices.

If most of the heads of the withered ones hadn't been burned by Li Yelai, making the sacrifice impossible, it would have been impossible.

Otherwise, Li Yelai could very well have reached the threshold of the Five Senses through this sacrifice.

Even so, Li Yelai's improvement was still considerable.
What made Li Yelai even happier was that he could receive two salaries and win twice!

They got Blood River's Blessing for free!

'Then I'll kill the enemy, offer their heads to the Blood God, and let Mr. Shadow show off their souls. Two big shots treating me alone, how awesome!' Li Yelai thought to himself, 'I wonder if the other Chaos Gods can replicate this kind of sacrifice.'

There are five Chaos Gods. If I can 'witness' them again, I might be able to benefit from their power and blessings for free.

Great, that's wonderful!

Li Yelai, with a calm smile on his face, stepped down from the altar and greeted the two chosen ones.

"You can call me Emperor Fall," Li Yelai chuckled.

In this way, no one will doubt Li Yelai's identity anymore. Even the god Blood River personally bestowed upon him a title, so who would dare to question it?
"Welcome, Emperor's Fall." Red Fury and Blood Drinker smiled, but their eyes held a complex expression.

It's not because of strength. They are all sixth-level experts, so why would they worry about a fourth-level expert? Even if he is the chosen one, it's the same. They are also the chosen ones.

They knew the height that the bestowed name "Emperor's Fall" represented, and couldn't help but feel complicated emotions.

Li Yelai didn't care about this, but instead asked, "What should we do next? Should we get out of the Extreme Cold Mountains first?"

“Yes, this is the edge of a restricted area, and we shouldn’t stay here too long,” Blood Drinker said. “We should get out of here as soon as possible.”

"As for what comes next, we'll first go to the nearest church branch to upgrade your equipment. That way, you can kill to your heart's content," Red said angrily. "And as for the Fallen Emperor later, are you willing to go to the Giant City?"

"Back to the Great City?" Li Yelai frowned. He really hadn't expected the Chosen One to ask this question.

“Yes, you were once a member of the Champion Team One of Border City Three. Although you joined our lord’s ranks, the Giant City side is unaware of this. In their eyes, you are still the Night Scout and Night General of Champion Team One,” Red Fury explained.

Li Yelai frowned: "You want me to go undercover?"

Holy crap, Li Yelai just infiltrated the Ember Church, and now he's being sent back to his hometown to infiltrate again? A double agent?
This way, it's safe, and Li Yelai can also cooperate with the authorities to completely uproot the Ember Church's network in the giant city and wipe them out.

However, Li Yelai's plan to sabotage the Church of Ember fell through.

He became God's chosen one, gaining access to many of the church's secrets. He could even use the church's power to deal with restricted areas, something a 'spy' couldn't do.

Blood Drinker then spoke up: "There's no need for that. If we're discovered, it would be a huge loss. Why send a chosen one of the gods to be an undercover agent?"

"I was just mentioning it casually, but they're the champion team, you know." Red Fury replied, "Never mind, we'll talk about it later."

After regrouping, the church group began to return the way they came.

During this time, Li Yelai refused the offer from several followers to carry his luggage and instead chatted idly with Hongnu and Xueyin.

The Church of the Ashes entered the snowy mountains by offering sacrifices.

It is said that they intercepted a group from Black Source City, killed the Six Awakenings Nobles among them, and used the group as a sacrifice.

Holding up their heads, they continuously released red flames, thus entering the great snow mountain.

Of course, the altitude they could reach was about the same as that of an oil lamp, and they had to detour around towering mountains. So they arrived relatively slowly.

"The Black Origin City troops... you actually went to Black Origin City?" Li Yelai asked.

“No, isn’t this what happened within the Heavenly Realm? The descendant of that Jade Blood Supreme has died, and they sent an investigation team to enter the Heavenly Realm.” Red Angry laughed, “Unfortunately, they ran into us. Otherwise, we would have had to try to find human psionicists in the wilderness to serve as sacrifices.”

Searching for humans, huh? Are you planning to hunt them down? You're asking for death!
Li Yelai sneered inwardly, but nodded slightly on the surface.

"Speaking of which, Emperor Fall, you were once a Night Watchman in the Great City. Do you know the Night Watchman who killed Meiwu? It is said that he was a sixth-sense psychic, or even the next champion?" Blood Drinker asked.

"To be able to kill Meiwu and escape during the pursuit, his strength must be extremely powerful!" Xueyin asked with interest, "You're his teammate, do you know anything about him?"

“I’ve never heard of a ninth champion; perhaps I’m not at a high enough level,” Li Yelai replied.

Li Yelai was telling the truth; there was no ninth-generation champion in the team.

That title was purely fabricated by the Golden-Eyed Angel to save face, forcibly bestowing it upon Li Yelai and even claiming that Li Yelai, who only had four awakenings, had six. While this saved face for the Angel, it also misled the forbidden zone and various major forces.

Especially the angels in the heavenly realm, some say they have the five senses, since the spiritual power of the sixth sense is quite obvious.

However, some angels say it's the sixth level of enlightenment, since how could someone with only the fifth level of enlightenment escape in that situation? Only a sixth-level expert could possibly do it.

As a result, there is considerable debate within the penalty area regarding the identity and strength of that 'ninth champion'.

The city was naturally delighted and would block all information to conceal the existence of the 'Night General'.

To avoid being targeted by those who covet the rewards in the restricted area.

If you want a reward, then go find that sixth-awareness expert, the 'ninth generation champion'.

"What a pity. As a fellow sixth-level cultivator, I would really like to have a go with him," Blood Drinker said regretfully.

She is the Blood God's Chosen of the Sixth Sense. Besides the human champion of the Sixth Sense, is there a better opponent?

“Yes, if Yang Chen hadn’t advanced to the seventh level, he would have been a formidable opponent. But he’s already at the seventh level,” Hong Nu added.

“Once you reach the seventh level of enlightenment, you will have your chance,” Li Yelai said with a smile.

During their casual conversation, Li Yelai also discovered that although these guys admired killing, they weren't insane. As long as they suppressed their bloodlust, they were quite similar to normal people, and they also had other desires.

From this perspective, the Blood God is more like a boss; as long as his subordinates meet their KPIs, he doesn't interfere with anything else. He's much better than other chaotic deities.

I overheard the chatter of the believers that a few years ago, when a chosen one of the gods gave birth to a child, the Blood God directly blessed the infant.

I don't know what blessing he received, but at eight years old he's taller than his father?

Li Yelai thought to himself, and learned some information about the situation within the Ember Church from Hong Nu and Xue Yin.

The Church of the Embers is not a monolithic entity; its lower-level followers develop independently within the Great City, with the aim of believing that psionicists are the new humans and that all humans should be transformed into psionicists.

Coupled with some evil rituals and so-called advancement potions, various tragedies occurred in the giant city.

Those ordinary people who knew about psychic abilities but couldn't become psychics themselves became their most loyal followers, dedicating everything to them. Some of these psychics, however, became branch leaders, enjoying sustenance while providing assistance to lower-ranking followers.

Those who embraced chaos became mid-level figures in the church.

Because they worship different gods, their relationships are not good, and they may even fight each other.

Therefore, they basically fight their own battles and rarely cooperate.

Recently, the power of the fifth Chaos God has gradually influenced the physical world, but no followers of his have appeared within the Church. This is somewhat unexpected.

Because of Li Yelai's location, which was already close to the edge of the snow mountain.

After traveling for five hours through the snow-capped mountains, the group crossed the last snow-capped mountain and completely left the restricted area.

After leaving the snow-capped mountain, the group quickened their pace, each using aerial leaps, and sped off southwest.

They soon crossed the no-man's-land and ventured deep into the wilderness.

Before evening, they arrived at an abandoned city, which was the location of one of their branch headquarters.

The remaining members of the Ember Church cleaned the rooms and prepared various foods. They humbly served the believers and God's chosen ones.

This is the ecological niche of the Church of the Embers, where ordinary believers are at the bottom, serving the psionicists at all costs.

The Chosen One is the closest existence to the top of this ecological niche.

During the meal, two young girls served Li Yelai on either side.

These two girls are psychics, one at the first awakening stage and the other at the second. They are also the daughters of a certain believer.

At this moment, she could only kneel on either side of Li Yelai, dressed in revealing clothes, humbly lowering her head and exposing her snow-white chest.

This made Li Yelai very uncomfortable, so he waved for them to leave.

Beneath the dining table, however, lay a bloody battle.

Two ordinary people, armed with weapons, engaged in a bloody duel.

Both of them are quite skilled, with commendable combat techniques, and must have undergone rigorous training.

The fight was fierce, until one of them was cut down, and another decisively stepped forward and beheaded him.

Then, holding his head, he knelt and worshipped the chosen one above.

"Is this our rule?" Li Yelai frowned. This is fucking insane.

"No, that's not it. It's just a way for them to please us." Red Nu laughed and casually tossed out a potion.

The blood-covered man kowtowed repeatedly, then retreated, holding the medicine and the head.

In his view, having received the reward of being chosen by the gods, today's battle was not in vain.

"You'll have to get used to it. It's a pity you came in such a hurry. Otherwise, I would have helped you capture a level four psychic so you could have your fun too," Blood Drinker said with a smile.

“Four senses are boring. Let’s have more five senses, preferably creatures from forbidden zones,” Li Yelai replied.

"Going beyond your level? As expected of you." Blood Drinker nodded slightly.

Ignoring the stench and sight of blood, Li Yelai took a bite of meat. He felt his nasal cavity filled with the smell of blood.

"Speaking of which, you're only at the fourth level of awakening. Have you considered the potion for the fifth level?" Red Angry asked.

Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat: "Do we have any magic potion recipes?"

He has more and more aliases.

His true identity is that of an official night watchman, a night general.

Ark voters, bronze face.

Blood River God Chosen, Emperor Falls.

These three identities allowed Li Yelai to access a lot of resources, thus gaining access to more potion recipes.

"The five senses of the Myriad Paths are Mimicry: Dragon Breath or Mimicry: Dragon Transformation," Red Fury replied. "But we have several variant formulas, all of which are still very powerful. I don't remember the specifics, but you can choose carefully when we get back."

"I'll also forge you a suit of armor and modify your weapons," Blood Drinker chuckled. "You look rather shabby now."

Li Yelai nodded slightly in agreement. He thought to himself, "This time, I'll have to empty your coffers first."

After finishing their meal, the three chosen ones departed. Red Wrath's bloodlust swelled, and he planned to find a transcendent creature outside to vent his rage.

Blood Drinker invited Li Ye to bathe with her, but was directly rejected. He didn't care and went to watch the next round of fighting.

This purity is too low. Shouldn't the Blood God's chosen ones be all about killing? Why are they always coming to me?
'What a bunch of lunatics!' Li Yelai cursed inwardly as he returned to his room.

But they found that the two girls from before were also in the room, and they were dressed even more revealingly.

It seems that a certain believer is eager to curry favor with Li Yelai, the newly chosen god.

He's so eager to improve. He's very ambitious.

But Li Yelai was not interested in this.

Hilarious! I, Ye Jiang, am a true gentleman!

He frowned and told them to leave, and ordered that no one was allowed to approach the room.

After confirming that no one was nearby, Li Yelai began to check his equipment.

The main thing is still the forbidden item, the lucky wheel. This is Li Yelai's ultimate trump card, the kind that can flip the table.

Thanks to his status as the chosen one, they dared not search Li Yelai's backpack.

We have to thank Blood River for this. Now, even if Li Ye says he's an undercover agent, the two chosen ones will think he's joking.

How could someone named by the gods be an undercover agent? Hehe.
After confirming that his equipment was in good condition, Li Yelai lay down to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yelai suddenly smelled a cool, refreshing fragrance.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the figure standing at the head of the bed.

Even in the dimly lit room, Li Yelai could see her slender figure.

"Finally, I've found you. My teammate, you ran way too fast." Her voice drifted into my ears: "Should I still call you Emperor Fall?"

It was none other than the Little Mad King! (End of Chapter)
