Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

When Li Yelai woke up, he felt refreshed.

Both my body and mind have recovered to their peak.

In reality, he had adapted to the enhancement of his physical body and spiritual energy.

His advancement speed was too fast. He advanced from the fourth level to the fifth level in just over a month. After that, he participated in challenges non-stop. Later, under the blessing, he stepped onto the third level of the stairway to find the Well of Souls.

This kind of speed of improvement is probably something only a toy has experienced.

The rapid and continuous improvement in a short period of time made his psionic energy somewhat unstable.

It takes a good rest to fully adapt.

Li Yelai opened his eyes and saw Little Mad King on the sofa.

She was kneeling and reclining on the sofa, looking at the church's records and archives.

Because her legs were bent, the hem of her long skirt slipped down from her knees, revealing her fair thighs.

At first glance, she looks like a girl taking a break at home.

But Li Yelai also knew that this girl was extremely powerful, and her strikingly long legs could easily break the neck of a flying dragon!

"How long have I been asleep?" Li Yelai asked, sitting up.

"About ten hours." Little Mad King put down his book and replied, "It seems your psionic energy has stabilized. Shall we go out?"

"Yes, it's time to go out," Li Yelai replied. "After that, we just wait for our teammates to cooperate."

Little Mad King nodded and got up from the sofa, saying, "Alright, I'll go set up the scene too."

"Set up the scene?" Li Yelai was taken aback and asked, "What scene?"

"In their eyes, a chosen one spending several days alone with his personal maid would inevitably leave some traces," the Little Mad King said, glancing around. "And this place is too clean. Although it's just a small detail, it will make them suspicious. We need to avoid these problems."

“You’re certainly cautious,” Li Yelai replied.

“You can never be careless with spies and moles. That’s why headquarters sent me to assist you. You haven’t received any special training in spies and infiltration.” Little Mad King said, taking out two thin nightgowns from his bag, holding them up to his body a couple of times, and then tearing them apart.

He took out a bottle of medicine from his bag and applied a few drops to the bed and the torn pajamas.

Soon, a fishy stench filled the room.

Upon smelling that familiar, fishy stench, Li Yelai's face paled in horror: "This...this is..."

"Photinia flower syrup." The Little Mad King said calmly after sealing the syrup, "I prepared this when I was planning to sneak in as a maid."

Li Yelai could only nod.

Then, Little Mad King put on light makeup and pinched some red marks on his neck.

Soon, the secluded fortress opened, and the heavy suspension bridge above the deep valley was lowered.

Several servants, guards, and demon generals were already waiting here.

They saw Li Yelai, dressed in armor, and Hongzhuang emerge from the fortress.

The demon general Baiya and his personal guard Heli immediately came forward to meet them.

"My lord." River, as a personal guard, was about to speak when he smelled a certain scent. His expression changed slightly, then turned somewhat strange.

Bai Ya, standing to the side, also had a slightly somber expression. They probably thought that the Chosen One had gone on his honeymoon with his maid.

Bai Ya's expression darkened even more when he saw the red marks on Hong Zhuang's neck.

But soon, their expressions changed.

Because they simultaneously sensed Li Yelai's even stronger spiritual energy!

It's even more powerful than when it advanced to the fifth awakening!

'Lord Emperor Yun has at least stepped onto the third stage!' Bai Ya was deeply shocked.

The Chosen One, Emperor Fallen, only advanced to the Fifth Awakening two days ago, yet he has already leaped three levels. Such talent is simply terrifying!

'As expected of an adult! Even while playing with women, he doesn't neglect his self-improvement!' River admired him in his heart.

The servants bowed to Li Yelai in unison, praising the power of Lord Di Yun.

Li Yelai responded with a faint smile: "Alright, you've all worked hard. You can all leave now."

"Yes, my lord!"

Then, the news reached Jiang Yong and others.

"Emperor Yun could climb three steps in one seclusion? Is he cheating?" Jiang Yong and the others couldn't believe it.

Such talent is beyond the comprehension of even the chosen ones.

Such an upgrade is only possible by sacrificing a large number of powerful individuals as a form of blessing.

But Emperor Yun has been in seclusion inside the fortress, so where did all these powerful figures' heads come from?
"No wonder, the Blood God favors him greatly, bestowing upon him the supreme title of Emperor Fall. Emperor Fall's talent is truly terrifying!"

"He's only twenty-four years old. He might become the undisputed champion before he turns thirty! Or even more!"

"We can't target him anymore, otherwise we'll only cause trouble for Zhu Tu."

"Not only that, we must also do everything we can to protect him and ensure his safe growth."

"If Emperor Yun goes out to open a branch, that's fine. But if he stays at the main headquarters, and something happens, we won't escape blame! Lord Zhu Tu won't let us off the hook."

"That Fifth Legion"

“Give it to him, and remove our men,” Jiang Yong said. “I just hope things will be peaceful afterward.”

Meanwhile, inside the headquarters' treasury.

The old demon general also received this message.

He smiled slightly: "Very good, Lord Emperor's Fall, perhaps you can recreate Lord Tiankui's heroic figure."

Within the Blood God faction, strength is highly valued.

Although Li Yelai was once hailed as a chosen one, he was ultimately only a fourth-level awakener.

Li Yelai's incredible speed of advancement has shocked all the high-ranking members of the cult, who are now eager to curry favor with him.

Li Yelai's servants were also treated with great courtesy.

The same was true for the Little Mad King, who was disguised as a maid. Some high-ranking members of the church even sent him several magic potions.

All the potions for awakening from the second to the fifth awakening were delivered all at once.

“If you become a Sixth Awakened One, there will probably be a group of people in the church who will pledge their allegiance to you.” Inside the room, the Little Mad King looked at the potion in his hand and sighed, “Even I, a maid, have so many resources allocated to the church. The church’s supplies are really too generous.”

In the Great City, processors need to spend merit points to obtain potions. Many processors spend half a year accumulating enough to acquire a potion. But the Church, with just a gesture of goodwill, can provide multiple potions.
"How could it not be abundant? Thousands upon thousands of followers have squandered their wealth and abandoned their families. And so many slaves are digging mines and harvesting spiritual plants for them." Li Yelai sneered, "They depend on thousands of followers to absorb nutrients, nourishing a very small elite. For the elite, it is naturally abundant in resources!"

Those followers who want to gain power will risk everything to become a psionicist.

The vast majority of them will be distorted as a result.

Even if one becomes a psionicist, they are only considered to be in the lower middle class within the church.

The upper-class followers can plunder everything from the lower-class followers without any scruples, and enjoy the supplies provided by the lower-class followers.

If a low-awakening psychic is just entering the first or second awakening stage, they will naturally be king and domineering in front of ordinary followers.

But in front of high-ranking followers, he still bowed and scraped.

Even so, a steady stream of followers continues to emerge.

The desire for power and the pursuit of desires will drive them to become stepping stones for the church.

"If I could, I'd really like to take everything with me." Li Yelai grinned. "Then our giant city would be well-supplied with resources."

"That depends on the situation. We need to prioritize taking the supplies from the fourth and fifth floors," said Little Mad King. "We'll wait and see about the rest."

The resources on the fourth and fifth floors of the treasure vault are extremely valuable.

The fourth layer contains 129 portions of the Six Senses Mysterious Substance, as well as a large quantity of extraordinary materials that can be used to forge A-grade weapons.

It should be noted that some of the captain-level powerhouses in Border City No. 3 are still using B-grade weaponry; A-grade weaponry is far too rare.

If these are brought back to the giant city, the giant city can achieve A-level armed freedom!

You could even give one to each of your friends.

However, Xinghuo and his group are not at a high enough level, so they probably won't need them for the time being.

That would be a good idea to make one for the doll, but the doll doesn't seem to use melee weapons much. How about making her some armor? We can't exactly make her a billboard, can we?
Thinking of the doll, Li Yelai subconsciously pressed his hand to the inner pocket on his chest, which contained three small cloth bags.
Two of them were strands of hair that the doll had prepared for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai's strongest form is actually a gun with a doll's hair tied to the tip, fearing that he can cut down one by one!
"She cut so much hair. Is she getting a new hairstyle?" Li Yelai wondered, the girl's bright smile appearing in his mind.
As for the fifth layer, it contains some forbidden items, rare extraordinary substances, and the skull of a great demon that can be called the foundation.

Forbidden items, take them as needed. Some of the headquarters' forbidden items are too dangerous; leave them to the church to handle. As for the extraordinary substances on par with the Ancient Dragon Balls, they must all be taken!

Creating a monarch-level weapon for the old Mad King is out of the question, but a supreme-level weapon is something we can try.

As for the Great Demon's head, although humans wouldn't need it, Li Yelai didn't want to leave it to the Church. Take it away!
In the future, when I go on a 'business trip' to the penalty area, I can find an opportunity to use it and summon a great demon within the penalty area!
Hey, that's exciting!

"Secondly, there's the forbidden item you brought back, the Emotional Pocket Watch," Little Mad King reminded him. "You need to test its abilities."

"Shall we find a few followers who are out for a stroll and test it out?" Li Yelai asked.

“No, that would attract attention, and it might be deduced later,” Little Mad King said. “Just use it on me directly.”

"Isn't that a bit unsafe?" Li Yelai frowned. Although this was the safest method, using forbidden items on teammates was still a bit risky.

"It's alright, it's just a change in emotions. This is a tool used on ship warriors anyway." Little Mad King shook his head and said, "And it's under my preparation, so there won't be any accidents."

"Let's take turns." After thinking for a moment, Li Yelai nodded slightly, and a spatial fluctuation flashed, revealing a golden pocket watch in his hand.

It exudes an ancient and mysterious aura.

Its case is made of gold metal, with intricate and detailed engravings, and every line is clearly visible.

Through the openwork case in the center of the pocket watch, one can see the intricate gold gears.

Li Yelai opened his pocket watch and pointed the openwork case at Little Mad King.

The rotating gears reveal a pointer and different symbols in four directions.

The top represents calmness, the right represents anger, the bottom represents joy, and the left represents sorrow.

The pointer is currently pointing upwards, indicating that Little Mad King is emotionally stable and calm.

“Then I’ll activate it.” After confirming that the Philosopher’s Stone was still in his pocket, Li Ye said, “What emotion do you want?”

“Let’s start with anger,” said the Little Mad King. “Let me feel its power.”

"Pay attention." Li Yelai moved the pointer to the anger indicator on the right.

The next instant, Li Yelai clearly felt a pressure, as if the girl in front of him was about to explode at any moment.

The Little Mad King's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent and calm. But his eyes seemed to burn with fierce fire.

She reached out and placed her arm on Li Yelai's shoulder, saying in a low voice, "Okay, a very strange ability. I am indeed very angry right now."

"Is there a source? Or is it just anger for no reason?" Li Ye could feel the strength in the girl's hand.

"Why are you so stubborn? To avoid risks, it's okay to lose some things that don't matter," the Little Mad King said in a low voice, his tone restrained. "I suggest you move the hands immediately!"

That was the first time Li Yelai and Little Mad King had a disagreement.

Li Yelai's expression changed slightly, and he dared not maintain this state any longer.

Immediately move the pointer down again. You'll reach a promising indicator.

The Little Mad King withdrew his grip and instead stroked Li Yelai's hair: "You did very well, my teammate."

Her expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of laughter in her voice.

Her hand, which was strong enough to strangle a dragon, became gentle, like that of a girl next door.

Well, of course, Cheese is also a neighbor, and she's a year older than Li Yelai, so she's like an older sister next door, but she's a completely different person.
"I'm not used to you doing this," Li Yelai complained. "Shall I continue?"

"Hmm, let's continue." She nodded slightly. It seems she's added a new catchphrase?

Therefore, Li Yelai moved the pointer to the left, which represents the final sorrow.

The next second, Little Mad King visibly became disappointed.

Her complexion remained largely unchanged, but she became gloomy, just like when Li Ye first met her, even more so.

She huddled in the corner, hugging her knees, and muttered, "I haven't done enough. They still don't believe me."

Growing up in an environment of suspicion was her greatest tragedy.

Her tragic childhood and experiences filled her with immense sorrow.

"Don't worry, I've always believed in you," Li Yelai sighed inwardly, turning the pointer back to the top. He regained his composure.

Little Mad King remained huddled in the corner, watching Li Yelai. After a few seconds, he said, "I'm really lucky, my teammate."

"Are you ok?"

"Of course. I stopped caring about this a long time ago." After taking a deep breath, Little Mad King stood up and said, "Alright, that's enough. You don't need to experience this feeling. It's very powerful. Even though I was prepared, I was still affected by my emotions."

"Everything is ready; we're just waiting for our teammates to launch the attack." (End of Chapter)
