Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The sudden arrival of the Immortal Faction caught the Blood God Branch off guard, sparking open and covert struggles among the various factions.

At most, in certain special circumstances, there may be cooperation or a transaction.

For example, the Blood God faction would occasionally purchase undead or zombies from the Immortal faction as a security measure.

The Immortal faction would also seek to purchase corpses from the Blood God faction, or join forces to attack a certain location.

However, in many cases, the relationship between the two parties is not good.

Especially before that, there was a battle where the two chosen gods of blood, Red Fury and Blood Drinker, and the chosen god of immortality, Moya, suffered heavy losses together.

This has severely strained relations between the two factions.

But now, Rhodo, the chosen one of the immortal gods, has actually visited the branch headquarters in person?

This made the branch's higher-ups feel that the visitors were hostile, but they still obeyed the Emperor's Chosen orders and welcomed the troops.

Unfortunately, whether Fen Xiao was a traitor remains to be verified, and he is already dead.

They can only obey the orders of the sole chosen one of the current branch leaders, Emperor Fall.

However, they remained cautious and deployed a number of soldiers nearby, keeping the Chaos Ritual in a state of readiness to be launched at any time.

In case the immortal faction's forces suddenly rise up.

Li Yelai sat on the city gate of the branch fortress, watching the Eternal Faction troops approaching from afar.

This was also a remnant army, almost entirely wounded. Not all believers could achieve superhuman regeneration; most immortal believers would become mindless zombies after death, living on in another form.

Leading the charge was an elite cavalry unit of ten Plague Knights.

Among them was a burly, heavily armored knight.

He was quite large, over two meters tall, and rode a supernatural creature covered in green scales, which looked like a wingless black dragon.

Its size is about that of a bus, and its psychic energy level seems to be at the sixth level.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. He himself is only at the sixth level of enlightenment, yet he's riding a mount that's also at the sixth level of enlightenment.

Of course, Li Yelai, who rides the ancient dragon, has no right to judge others.

Li Yelai thought to himself as he looked at the heavily armored knight.

He was wearing tattered plate armor, and judging from the wounds on the armor, he had suffered a terrible attack, but there were no wounds on his body, so it was assumed that they had been repaired.

"My lord, he should be Rhodo, the Chosen One. His mount, the Black Poison Dragon, is quite famous, said to be a direct descendant of a supreme being from the depths of the Doomsday Forest," Gongsun the craftsman, his body wrapped in several bandages, whispered a reminder.

He was very lucky; although he got separated from Li Yelai, he managed to escape the giant city.

However, Li Yelai's other servants were not so lucky; they were all wiped out.

Now, Li Yelai is the chosen one.

With only Gongsun the craftsman and the demon general Baiya by his side, he seemed rather poor.

"Using a descendant of a supreme being as a mount?" Li Yelai asked. "Doesn't that supreme being have any objections?"

"It is said that it cured that supreme being's incurable disease," Gongsun the craftsman replied. "Extraordinary beings can sow their seeds at will, so they probably wouldn't care."

“If Your Excellency requires, we will go to the Doomsday Forest to hunt down a supreme descendant for you,” said the White Cliff Demon General.

"Let's talk about it another time. The losses this time have been too great." Li Yelai shook his head slightly.

At this moment, the army stopped in front of the fortress gate, and most of the soldiers rested on the spot.

The leading group of Plague Cavalry, escorting the Chosen Rhodo, ignored the Blood God faction's powerful figures on both sides of the valley and entered the fortress.

That's quite audacious!

The branch leaders thought to themselves, "How dare a chosen one from another faction brazenly enter the Blood God Branch?"
Aren't they afraid of being surrounded and killed by everyone? Or do they think the branch can't handle two Sixth Awakenings and these few Plague Knights?

Although the branch suffered heavy losses, it still had some trump cards.

Some of the branch leaders looked at Li Yelai, as if they could take down Luo Duo as soon as Li Yelai gave the order.

But Li Yelai remained silent and instead walked down the city wall to greet him.

The chosen one of Rhodes was quite sensible and voluntarily jumped off the poisonous dragon.

The moment he dismounted, the plague knights also dismounted.

Under the astonished gazes of countless Blood God faction members, these Plague Knights bowed their heads to Li Yelai.

"Greetings, Lord Emperor Yun!"

The Plague Knights actually bowed down to the Blood God's Chosen?
What? You've come to seek refuge with Lord Emperor Yun?

The branch's high-ranking members stared wide-eyed, one of them even grabbing a pen and paper, eager to record this scene in the canon so that future generations of Blood God believers would know of this event.

What surprised them even more was that Rhodes spoke at this moment.

“I have come to see you, my unfamiliar brother.” Rhodes removed his helmet, revealing a kind face. “We are both children of a loving father, and we must get to know each other better. Great, chosen one of the two gods.”

This is a unique title for the immortal faction of the chosen ones, who consider themselves the children of the father of plague.

Therefore, the chosen ones address each other as brothers and sisters.

Even if they fought to the death, they would still call each other that.

Li Yelai nodded with a smile: "Come in and have a chat, my 'brother'."

“Very well, let me see what the Blood God faction’s celebration is like. I’ve heard of it before, but I’ve never seen it before,” Rhodo said with a smile, his already honest face making him seem very approachable.

The branch's leaders and followers were momentarily stunned into a mental blank.

Two...two chosen gods? They both understood what this existence represented!
That was a person favored by two chaotic gods at the same time, representing the great existence of both gods!
It can even command the power of two factions simultaneously.
Many people's expressions changed. They had previously suspected that Lord Di Yun had a problem, but it turned out that he was the chosen one of the two gods! Could it be that both of the Chaos Gods had a problem with their judgment?
The higher-ups immediately welcomed the Plague Knights into the fortress and prepared a grand banquet.

However, due to the heavy losses in this operation, they did not hold any killing ceremony.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai and Luo Duo, the two chosen ones, along with a few other high-ranking members, went to a quiet room.

Beside Li Yelai stood the demon general Bai Ya, sword in hand, while beside Luo Duo was an immortal demon general and a black poison dragon gnawing on flesh. "I received a divine message on the battlefield, learning that you have become my new brother," Luo Duo said with a smile.

"Otherwise, I would have come here to cause trouble for Fen Xiao. I lost more than 8,000 elite troops, and our good sister, Soul Wind Chosen, also died tragically on the battlefield. She was crushed by the overlord of the giant city!"

"Also, the chosen ones of the Bliss faction have fallen in battle. They probably really want to have a word with you guys!"

Although he was smiling, everyone could sense the malice and hatred beneath Rhodo's smile.

They learned about the giant city from Fenxiao and then cooperated to prepare for a big operation within the city.

It turned out to be a trap!

Not only the Blood God faction, but also the Immortal and Bliss factions suffered heavy losses.

Only those who use unorthodox methods appear and disappear without a trace; it's unknown whether there have been any losses.

The expressions of the branch's senior leaders changed.

Li Yelai then said, "That traitor Fenxiao is dead. He and the official captain wanted to behead me. Fortunately, my loving father watched over me and brought me back from the brink of death. I killed the official captain in return, while the traitor Fenxiao died at the hands of the Wilderness Ranger."

“I know, otherwise, even if you were here, I would have killed him! When I was fighting in the Great City, I learned that one of the Chaos Chosen was one of their people. It must be Fenxiao!” Rhodo gritted his teeth: “He deliberately leaked the information about the Great City, causing them to suffer heavy losses.”

“However, you are wanted both inside and outside the city for killing their Master Feixue,” Luo Duo said. “Feixue has a considerable reputation in the city and is also a beautiful woman. I estimate that quite a few people will want to kill you.”

“We’re all chosen by God, so it’s the same whether we have this or not. We’ll all be wanted.” Li Yelai replied, “Fortunately, they don’t know what I look like yet.”

"Speaking of which, Brother Di Yun," Luo Duo looked at Li Yelai, who was still wearing armor and a helmet, and asked, "Why do you still wear a helmet and mask even now, refusing to face me with your true face?"

“I’m sorry, brother, I have a confidential operation coming up, and it’s not good for too many people to see my true face,” Li Yelai said. “After all, I’ve been betrayed before, so it’s right to be careful.”

That's true. In the church manor in the giant city, Li Yelai had to disguise himself and wear a mimicry mask in front of the church members.

Otherwise, if they are accidentally exposed, their 'undercover operation'—no, their return to Border City No. 3—would be difficult to carry out.

The branch's high-ranking officers' expressions changed slightly, understanding the implied meaning in the Chosen One's words. They immediately left the room silently, as they were not yet qualified to obtain such secrets.

Then, Li Yelai removed his helmet, revealing his appearance. Although he looked somewhat haggard after a night of bloody battle, his handsomeness was still undeniable.

"My goodness, my brother, you are so handsome! Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a dragon and phoenix-like appearance! I almost thought you were the chosen one of God of Bliss!" Rhodo praised, "As the child of a loving father, you must make good use of your advantages and strive to reproduce, so as to pass on your excellent bloodline!"

As he spoke, Luo Duo glanced at Bai Ya beside him and said, "I think this demon general is also quite fertile."

Baiya lowered his head, seemingly a little shy, and did not respond.

Now, Hongzhuang, the personal maid of Emperor's Chosen One, has died in the giant city.

Of course, this is Baiya's opinion.

Bai Ya was the only woman by Emperor Yun's side.

Li Yelai retorted, "Are you also a chosen one of the two gods? A chosen one of the two gods of bliss and immortality?"

“Haha, the Father is also the God of life, and we who procreate are also following His path. This is not a joke,” Rhodes laughed.

The followers of the Father of Plague are not only adept at spreading plagues, but also at cultivating spiritual plants, because the Father of Plague is also known as the God of Life.

If the giant city is willing to pledge allegiance to the Plague Father, its population will experience explosive growth.

"However, one of our brothers is indeed a chosen one who is both immortal and blissful."

"Oh?" Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat; this was the first time he had heard this.

He thought he was the only one chosen by two gods. He never expected that the immortal faction would actually have another one hidden away.

“He was the most senior of the surviving chosen ones, the eldest son of the Plague Father, our elder brother,” Rhodes said. “Unfortunately, I have never known his whereabouts and have not heard from him for many years.”

At this moment, the demon general behind Luo Duo looked at Li Yelai's face and was taken aback, saying with some surprise, "You are from Border City No. 3?"

Li Ye looked at the Demon General and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Have you seen me before?"

“I once visited Border City No. 3 and I think I saw you there,” the Demon General said humbly.

“That’s right, I do come from Border City No. 3, and I used to be an official of the Giant City,” Li Yelai added. “Champion Team One.”

“Champion.” Rhodes’ lips twitched. “My brother, you’ve given me far too many surprises. Now I know why you’ve been hiding your appearance. The Great City probably doesn’t know you’ve become the Chosen One, does it?”

“Indeed.” Li Yelai nodded.

"I see." Luo Duo narrowed his eyes. "So you're planning to use this to send you back to Giant City. It's a bit dangerous, but your status as a champion team member is really useful. You wouldn't happen to be trying to get into Yao Qingjing's Divine Treasure Palace, would you?"

Li Yelai was speechless. So the Jing family's Divine Palace and the Church knew about both factions?

“The well-informed forces should all know by now,” Luo Duo said. “Just a few days ago, the Jing family sent a team to the third border city. But before they even entered the city, internal strife broke out. Even a powerful figure got involved, making things quite lively.”

"This news has also reached the ears of major powers. It is said that many spiritual families have made deals, exchanging some spots from the Jing family and Jucheng, intending to enter the Divine Palace."

“Then, heroes from all over the world will gather,” Li Yelai said.

The Divine Palace contains a wealth of knowledge and extraordinary materials, and may even contain some rare and extraordinary creatures.

The Jing family's rapid rise to power was due to the vast amount of inherited knowledge they acquired within the Immortal Palace, including mastering numerous unique magical potion recipes.

This made many psychic families and the Church of the Embers envious, and they all wanted to get involved.

“Yes, indeed, but unfortunately we haven’t found a breakthrough. Border City No. 3 has already experienced the disaster fog, and with the king in charge, it’s difficult for our people to infiltrate.” Luo Duo looked at Li Yelai: “Brother, perhaps we can cooperate once.”

Upon learning that Li Yelai's actions might involve returning to the giant city, Luo Duo's mind began to stir.

If Li Yelai cooperates within the official ranks, they might be able to enter the Divine Palace together.

Li Yelai remained silent for a moment, his face showing hesitation.

Rhodo continued, “Don’t forget, you are not only the chosen one of the Blood God, but also our brother, the child of the Plague Father. I can use all our power within the Great City to assist you.”

After pondering for a long time, Li Yelai nodded and said, "If I can do it, I will try my best to send you all to the Immortal Palace. But I also need your help. I am not the captain, and my authority is not great."

Rhodes smiled. "That's more like it, my brother. Leave the rest to us. The two factions will take care of you alone, so you can rest assured!"

Li Yelai smiled too; this was truly a double celebration! (End of Chapter)
