Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Master Gongsun did indeed bring Li Yelai a great surprise.

One of Li Yelai's trump cards is the fall of an ominous star, or rather, the 'cute star flying into the sky and crashing'!
It is based on the speed and weight of the mount, and with the addition of the Shadow Army's wind and thunder, the speed and impact are further enhanced, thus unleashing an impact close to that of a meteor.

If one were riding the Heavenly Comet Qilin, this move would be no less powerful than Li Yelai's Annihilation Lightning.

However, the mounts that the Church of the Embers can tame and provide are of very limited strength.

Many powerful and extraordinary creatures possess extremely high intelligence and are difficult to tame. Or rather, they are simply impossible to tame.

Even the language of the beasts in the virtual realm can only be used to communicate with them, not to give them commands.

However, the extraordinary creatures that could be tamed were not strong enough to match Li Yelai's strength.

That Skyhunter was also around the fourth level of awakening; it was an extraordinary creature tamed through an evil ritual within the Immortal faction.

But Li Yelai only rode it once before it was killed. It couldn't keep up with the intensity of the battles Li Yelai encountered, and it perished shortly after being dubbed Old Horse No. 3.

In reality, the source of Li Yelai's mount was...

It mainly relies on the official and Chuhe hunting, and then the ashes are refined by the Black Umbrella to summon items.

The black umbrella had already been skinned and its bones removed. Even if Li Yelai obtained the corpse, he would be unable to summon any more creatures in the short term.

Unless, of course, Cheese and his group can immediately find the Black Umbrella organization and accept his legacy.

Otherwise, even if Chu He brought the corpse of the ancient dragon, Li Yelai would be helpless and could only watch helplessly.

Now, the secret treasure crafted by Gongsun has broken the limitations for Li Yelai!

It can manipulate corpses while retaining 70% of their original combat strength. This is more than twice as powerful ashes as crafted by the Black Umbrella.

This greatly enriched Li Yelai's choices of mounts.

Whether tamed or not, any corpse can be controlled.

This solved the biggest problem!

As long as the church's power is gathered to kill powerful supernatural creatures, Li Yelai can obtain a mount on the spot and can change mounts at any time during battle.

Of course, there are limitations.

If Li Yelai wants to use his mount whenever he wants after that, he will probably have to carry a non-corrupting corpse with him at all times.

"Can you control the corpses of humans or creatures from forbidden zones?" Li Yelai asked. The Black Umbrella's greatest trump card was its ability to control the corpses of powerful beings.

“It is possible, but after testing, we found that manipulating the corpses of psionicists is very difficult,” Gongsun the craftsman said. “It may require a lot of training and familiarization, and it is not as easy to control as extraordinary creatures.”

Li Yelai wasn't surprised; that guy with the black umbrella did have some tricks up his sleeve.

I can't reach that level, but it's enough for me.

“You did a great job,” Li Yelai praised the craftsman Gongsun, then took the reins. “But I need to practice with these reins. Do you have a suitable corpse?”

Gongsun the craftsman replied, "Yes, Lord Emperor. We have a relatively well-preserved corpse of a Leia dragon in our inventory."

"A dragon?" Li Yelai nodded with a smile. It seemed he could become a dragon knight.

Soon, Gongsun the craftsman and several followers escorted Li Ye to the training ground at the gathering place.

In the training ground, a gigantic Rhea dragon has been delivered by truck.

The dragon Leia had a huge stitched wound on its abdomen, suggesting it had been killed by a single blow that pierced its internal organs.

Li Yelai circled the flying dragon's corpse twice and nodded in satisfaction.

This Leia dragon is about 15 meters long from head to tail, over 4 meters tall when standing upright, and weighs over 6 tons.

Although not as majestic and domineering as the Heavenly Comet Qilin, it is still quite imposing.

Moreover, the craftsman Gongsun specially installed a saddle, or rather, a dragon saddle, on Leia's flying dragon.

Li Yelai flung out the reins and saw one end of them instantly disappear into the body of Leia the Flying Dragon.

As Li Yelai infused spiritual energy, Leia Flying Dragon suddenly opened its enormous eyes.

The feeling was quite strange, as if the body had extended again, allowing the user to control the corpse as if it were an extension of their own arm.

"nice."

Li Yelai laughed and flipped over onto him.

Leia the dragon spread her wings and roared.

A blazing fireball shot out from the dragon's mouth, hurtling towards the sky and exploding high in the air.

The next second, Li Yelai rode Leia's flying dragon and soared into the sky.

Soaring and twirling high in the sky, flying freely.

It took more than ten minutes for it to land back on the ground.

"Lord Emperor, how are you feeling?" Gongsun the craftsman asked cautiously.

"The speed is a bit slow," Li Yelai replied. "Everything else is pretty good, and the psionic energy consumption is less than I expected."

Li Yelai originally thought that since Leia Flying Dragon had maintained 70% of her combat strength, she would need to consume a lot of spiritual energy.

Only after using it did they discover that Leia the Flying Dragon's physical body still retained some psionic energy.

Li Yelai only needs to give a thought, and the corpse will react.

This saved Li Ye a lot of spiritual energy. That can be considered an advantage.

"This is actually the advantage of the material you gave me, sir. It can give some vitality to the broken and out-of-control well of souls of the corpse, allowing the corpse to 'regenerate' and generate some spiritual energy on its own," the craftsman Gongsun explained.

That makes sense. Otherwise, even if the Black Umbrella were drained dry, it wouldn't be able to control so many powerful corpse puppets. So the corpse puppets themselves can generate spiritual energy.

“Very good. When we offer sacrifices to our lord, you may stand behind me,” Li Yelai said with a smile.

Whenever the Blood God is worshipped, the chosen ones receive blessings, more or less. Their servants also benefit from this.

This will also be a great honor for God's chosen servants.

Don't be fooled by their title of servants; they are God's chosen inner circle. They are all high-ranking figures in the various branch headquarters.

This made the craftsman Gongsun very excited. He nodded repeatedly and showered Li Yelai with compliments.

Li Yelai then asked, "Speaking of which, Gongsun, do we have any ancient dragon pearls in our base?"

"Ancient Dragon Pearls?" Gongsun the craftsman was taken aback. After a moment of thought, he shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, Ancient Dragon Pearls are power crystals that may be born when an adult Ancient Dragon advances to a higher level. We don't have this kind of substance in our base. Even those two Chosen Ones who sacrificed themselves couldn't easily hunt down a Overlord-level Ancient Dragon."

"But perhaps such materials exist within the main base. A chosen one in the church once ascended to the Supreme level, and he collected a large amount of materials in an attempt to forge a Supreme Divine Weapon, which may have included the Ancient Dragon Pearl. Unfortunately, before the divine weapon was completed, he fought against the Azure Sky Supreme of Kunlun Giant City, and both perished. Sir, do you need the Ancient Dragon Pearl to forge your weapon?"

“That’s right. I will advance to the Supreme level sooner or later, and I plan to prepare in advance.” Li Yelai smiled and said, “At that time, you will be the builder.” “Yes!” Gongsun the craftsman was overjoyed. The greatest glory for a psionic craftsman is to create a psionic weapon that will be famous throughout the world.

If Lord Emperor Yun were to advance to the Supreme level, he might be able to forge a Supreme-level divine weapon for the Supreme!

Then came the sacrificial ceremony.

After two days and one night of preparation, the followers of the Blood God faction held a grand sacrificial ceremony.

The casualties in this war were extremely heavy, with two chosen ones dying.

But this undoubtedly pleased Blood River.

Blood River loves war and killing.

No matter who is killed, as long as blood flows like a river, He will feel joy and may even bestow blessings.

Although this bloody battle appears to involve fewer than ten thousand people, the vast majority of them are psionicists or victims, all elite troops from both sides.

There are more than two thousand samples of the mysterious substance that was successfully obtained after the war.

The quality is absolutely guaranteed to be excellent.

The Blood God faction's followers had been making preparations for this for a long time.

Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight heads were arranged in a mound. At the very center and at the very top was the head of the chosen one, Moya.

To offer up another god's chosen one to the gods would be a great honor!

Then, tens of thousands of believers surrounded the huge mound of skulls and began to pray, uttering various obscure and mysterious incantations, which caused the sky to gradually change color, as if flames were burning in the sky.

More than 80% of them are not psionicists, but they desperately crave divine blessings to help them overcome the most difficult step.

Then, under the expectant gazes of thousands of followers, Li Yelai, clad in armor by them, stood on the high platform.

Without much talk or prayer, Li Yelai uttered the words, "Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offered to the throne," and the entire Jingguan (a mound of corpses) burst into flames.

The crimson flames almost dyed the sky red, and terrifying power from the virtual realm began to surge into the physical world.

A crimson aura was born from the flames and instantly enveloped Li Yelai.

In that instant, Li Yelai's Soul Well also rapidly expanded and broadened, allowing him to glimpse more of the illusory starry sky through it.

Moreover, Li Yelai's illusory projection also began to gradually move towards the Well of Souls.

Li Yelai has only been a Four Awakening for a little over a month, even though he has been through many bloody battles in that time.

He executed human traitors, massacred gods in forbidden zones, slaughtered the withered, fought against the immortal faction, and even clashed with his comrades from the champion team.

The bloody battle caused his psionic power to increase dramatically, and his Soul Well was also expanded considerably.

However, he is still some distance from achieving the five senses; the time available is simply too short.

According to Little Mad King's calculations, Li Yelai will need at least three months to digest all his accumulated knowledge before he can enter the Fifth Sense.

But now, under the blessing of the Blood God, Li Yelai's illusory projection took seven steps in succession, actually arriving directly before the Well of Spiritual Energy!

At this moment, he is just one step away from achieving the five senses.

However, if one relies on the blessing of the Blood God, one can directly enter the Five Senses.

Putting aside the fact that he's out of magic potions when it comes to psionic abilities, he'll likely get some kind of abstract ability based on his luck.

Entering the five senses through external forces may involve certain risks.

So, when they were just one step away from the Well of Souls, Li Yelai's projection stopped and ceased its advance.

This caused the crimson flames that had been flowing into the body to overflow, spreading outwards and towards other followers.

This delighted the followers, who loudly praised Emperor Yun.

They believed that it was the Emperor who had shared his blessings with them, which moved and delighted them.

Amidst the surging crimson flames, some ordinary members of the church were overjoyed to ascend to higher levels. They became psionicists, thus becoming new humans! Their status within the church was greatly elevated!

But even more followers suddenly let out distorted howls and broke into a bloody battle with those around them. They were twisted; they couldn't bear this blessing, yet they refused to give up, ultimately twisting in despair. Sufferers of their caliber couldn't even be abandoned on the spot as vampires.

Thus, another bloody battle broke out.

After wreaking havoc on hundreds of ordinary believers, more than 700 out-of-control cult members were killed by the church's psionicists, and their heads were offered to the Blood God once again.

Li Yelai, however, vaguely sensed a strange gaze. He initially thought it was the Blood God watching him, but the Blood God did not cast a glance his way.

Li Yelai frowned as he looked at the altar, only to be surprised to find that the head of the chosen one, Moya, located at the highest point, opened its eyes at that moment.

At the top of the Jingguan (a mound of statues), countless scarlet flames looked down at Li Yelai below.

It was incredibly strange, yet the craftsman Gongsun and his other servants behind him hadn't noticed anything at all.

Holy crap! It's alive?!
Li Yelai was shocked, but unwilling to believe it.

Moya was personally killed by the seventh champion, his entire body reduced to dust. Even the blessing of the immortal faction couldn't restore him; his Well of Souls and the illusory projection were shattered beyond repair. How could he possibly come back to life?

However, that gaze carried a hint of kindness, as if a highly respected elder were looking down upon his junior.

No, that's not Moya, but the deity behind Moya!
That man, the father of the pandemic!
Another Chaos God!
Damn it, the younger one got beaten up, and now the older one's showing up? Does he feel his chosen one has been sacrificed and is trying to cause trouble?

Then go find Blood River!
Li Yelai's body stiffened slightly as he thought to himself, "I wonder if Mr. Ying can kill a Chaos God if we make a deal at this time."

In terms of cost-effectiveness, it should be better than King of the Penalty Area, right?

However, 'Moya's' head moved its lips slightly, and a voice slowly came from the void.

'Does it harbor the plague of destiny? Very well.'

Subsequently, Moya's head was completely set ablaze and offered to the Blood God along with the other heads.

Nothing unexpected or unusual happened. The ritual concluded.

Li Yelai, however, fell into deep thought.

Anyone who is being watched by a chaotic deity would feel uneasy.

"The plague of fate? What does that mean?" Li Yelai pondered to himself, "Could it refer to my misfortune?"

It could be argued that the book holder's plan was disrupted by Li Yelai. This is what is meant by changing one's fate.
However, Li Yelai cannot disrupt 'fate' at any time. Only when the face is activated and misfortune is triggered will the book holder's deductions be greatly disrupted.

Is this the plague of fate?

As an immortal faction where everything decays but all living beings are immortal, are they interested in themselves as the 'source of plague'?
good good!
If I were to shout, "All things decay, but life is immortal," would I gain the attention of the Father of Plague? Would I become His chosen one?
To become the so-called chosen one of the two gods! (End of Chapter)
