Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Li Yelai followed Yin Huo to the headquarters building in the main urban area.

They then directly accessed the underground network located in the headquarters building.

This was Li Yelai's first time here, and he couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of the underground network.

"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to you," Yin Huo laughed. "These underground spaces were all opened up by the Yellow Springs Train. In fact, the underground spaces in the larger branches have been expanded and connected, so if any dangerous situation arises, we can send a large number of people into the underground spaces for refuge."

The Yellow Springs Train can quickly open up underground spaces, since it can automatically open tunnels as long as the train is started.

This greatly accelerated the official construction of underground spaces, with all branches and headquarters expanding their operations using the Underworld Train.

These spaces can serve as shelters, or, in special circumstances, as rapid channels for communication or support between different branches.

The authorities even plan to build a rapid response team of hundreds of Iron Guards and processors based on the Underworld Train, utilizing the train's speed and terrain-ignoring advantage to quickly support the battlefield.

However, Li Yelai was no longer qualified to be a member of this unit.

Because the Yellow Springs Train had a lot of complaints about him, and they were very strong.
Following the Yin Fire, Li Yelai arrived at a large warehouse located in the underground network.

Here, Li Yelai moved all the supplies out of the Ark's storage space.

When 129 portions of the Six Senses, 7 portions of the Overlord-level Mysterious Substance, and a large number of high-level Extraordinary Materials appeared before Yin Fire.

Yin Huo nearly fainted from laughter. These resources were enough to forge 129 A-grade weapons and seven S-grade psionic weapons!

This is absolutely fantastic! The city has never been this wealthy before!

It's important to know that not all the captains in the giant city are equipped with A-level weapons!

A significant number of captains can only obtain B-level weaponry because they lack sufficient resources.

Now, the Blood God Church has become the number one boss in the giant city!
This will significantly enhance the high-end combat capabilities of the giant city!
"This is amazing! The Blood God Headquarters actually has so many resources." Yin Huo exclaimed, looking at the mysterious substances along the various paths before him.

"It truly is the main headquarters; its resources are incredibly abundant. I only took some resources from the fourth and fifth floors. Actually, there were also many supplies on the third floor, but I didn't have the chance then." Li Yelai also expressed his regret. If he had taken the supplies from the first three floors as well, he estimated that he could have improved the combat strength of all the Night Scouts and Processors. But unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity.

“That’s enough, it’s already been a great help,” Yin Huo said.

“Indeed, as one of the two chosen gods, I haven’t been to the Asian headquarters of the Immortal Faction yet.” Li Yelai nodded. “I really look forward to it. I wonder what good things the Immortal Faction’s headquarters will have?”

The Asian headquarters of the immortality faction is said to be located on an island far from the mainland.

If given the chance, Li Yelai must go and take a wave! Then summon a massive tsunami to drown them all.

Yin Huo thought to himself, "If you go and cause trouble in the Immortal Faction again, your identity as a spy will probably be exposed."

So it'll just bomb wherever it goes? Will the Chaos Gods see it as a jinx and send it to the Great City? Wait, maybe the Church already thinks so?

Li Yelai continued, "Captain Yin Huo, I have conditions: these supplies must be prioritized for equipping our Champion Team One, as well as the participants in this operation, including Captain Ru Yueying and the others."

“That’s only natural.” Yin Huo nodded and said, “As long as the production capacity is sufficient, you will be given priority in being equipped with A-level weapons. But how to allocate and distribute them is something that the higher-ups need to consider. After all, these are supplies from the church’s treasury, and if the church discovers them, your identity will be at risk of being exposed.”

Li Yelai nodded: "Secondly, there's Captain Yang Chen. He's already a powerful figure; it wouldn't make sense for him to still be using A-grade psionic weapons. I already have two A-grade weapons."

A black and gold dragon-patterned halberd, a ring-pommel sword traded from Qin, and Blood Cloud!
"Who has an A-level weapon with five senses? Two of them? I don't even have an A-level weapon with six senses!" Yin Huo complained. "You don't need to worry about that. We will create a new S-level psionic weapon for Yang Chen."

"Furthermore, we cannot take it all. As a voter of the Ark, you must keep some, which can be traded within the Ark."

"As for those forbidden items you have, you can keep them. There are so many spies in Chaos; if the authorities were to seize a few more forbidden items, it would actually be risky."

Li Yelai nodded again: "By the way, Little Mad King's longsword was damaged in the previous operation and almost broke. It has been repaired, but it is still not in its best condition. Let's make her a new one. Also, doll, she doesn't have an A-level psionic weapon yet."

"Alright, you can rest assured. They were also participants in this operation, so they're naturally included." Yin Huo chuckled, a strange look in his eyes as he looked at Li Yelai.

"Then I have no further questions," Li Yelai replied. "What do you need me to do next?"

“Well, that’s not necessary,” Yin Huo said. “Besides, you’ve already entered the Five Senses stage. By the way, isn’t there any risk involved in sacrificing your head to the Blood God?”

“It’s easy for it to twist into a chaotic egg. So, I dare not use it anymore,” Li Yelai replied.

“If you don’t need it, then don’t. It was something you got for free anyway.” Yin Huo continued, “However, the higher-ups have also given some advice: try not to make enemies of the followers of the Fifth God for now.”

"At least for now, the followers of the fifth Chaos God are keen on targeting the Church of Ember, but have not yet shown hostility towards humanity. They may be an asset. But we must remain vigilant, after all, they are gods of Chaos."

Li Yelai nodded, indicating his understanding.

In the second border city, it was only by borrowing the power of that wilderness wanderer that the enemy was severely injured.

Currently, the Fifth God is at odds with the other four factions. There's no need to target them too much.

At least, the two sides shouldn't become enemies until the other four factions are wiped out.

"How is that wandering swordsman in the second border city?" Li Yelai asked.

"He did kill Qin Zhi, avenging our City No. 3. Border City No. 2 gave us face and didn't make things too difficult for him, withdrawing his arrest warrant and executing several corrupt officials from the major cities. As for himself, he escaped with a little girl," Yin Huo replied.

Li Yelai nodded. After all, he was the main figure in that incident. He intervened three times: once with Qin Zhi, once with Fen Xiao, and once with the traitorous Overlord. The authorities couldn't target him, either morally or logically.

"Alright, you don't need to think about these things for now. You've already reached the fifth level of awareness. It's time for the armor-donning ceremony to become an elite Night Scout." Yin Huo laughed, "Yang Chen isn't in the giant city. Which captain would you like to ask to don the armor for you?"

“Please invite Little Mad Queen. She was the one who attended the previous robe-giving ceremony,” Li Yelai replied. “She should be returning to Giant City soon, right?” “That’s not appropriate. Little Mad Queen has shown her face in front of the church before. Although she disguised herself somewhat, she’s ultimately not suitable to appear in such a high-profile ceremony. She’ll be easily detected,” Yin Huo shook his head.

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised: "The center of attention?"

“Indeed, there are many powerful cities and families from afar within Border City No. 3. As the champion team's armor-donning ceremony, it will naturally attract a lot of attention.” Yin Huo replied, “Do you have any other candidates? If not, headquarters will assign someone, right?”

After thinking for a moment, Li Yelai said, "Then let the doll perform the armor-donning ceremony for me?"

As a captain-level member who has a good relationship with Li Yelai, that is, Captain Yang Chen, Doll, and Little Mad King.

Without Yang Chen present, Little Mad King cannot perform the armor-bearing ceremony.

Then we'll have to ask the dolls for help.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Huo nodded and said, "That works too. She can return to the giant city tonight or tomorrow. There's enough time."

Meanwhile, in the conference room, high-ranking officials were shocked by the supplies that Li Yelai had brought out.

After a moment of silence, someone asked, "How should we reward the Night General?"

"The resources he just submitted are enormous. Shouldn't we give him a few hundred thousand contribution points?"

"Leaving aside the supplies we just received, the life-saving materials he brought back are invaluable enough!"

"There's nothing more to reward him with! I understand now the pain Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, felt when facing Li Shimin. His achievements were too great; there's nothing more to bestow upon him!"

Several high-ranking officials sighed, realizing they truly couldn't reward Li Yelai without publicly acknowledging his achievements.

We can't just follow Li Yuan's example and make up a title like "General of Heavenly Strategy" to appease him, can we?

The old man at the head of the table laughed and said, "How about we change his codename to Night King? Let him and Little Red Makeup take over my position together. One is Night King, and the other is Little Mad King. People who don't know might think that my City No. 3 has three kings, hahaha."

The crowd looked at the old man helplessly: "Mad King, you're not even as good as Li Yuan."

“Reward him with 50,000 merit points. Of course, 45,000 of them are a secret reward; just tell the public that he received 5,000 merit points,” an old woman suggested.

“Fifty thousand is a lot, but it’s a bit too little for his achievements.” An elderly man responded, “No, it’s far too little.”

“Of course I know that merit points are ultimately a currency for exchanging resources, and cannot measure the merits he has made. Moreover, the supplies he sent out alone are worth more than a million merit points! But if we really gave him a million merit points, it would be useless to him.” The old woman said, “Fifty thousand merit points is not a small amount, enough for his daily use. In addition, I suggest that his authority be upgraded to the captain level.”

"The captain of the Five Senses?" A middle-aged man with graying hair frowned. "The second doll?"

The doll is the only handler in the giant city who was awarded the title of captain at the fifth awakening stage.

It was because of her terrifying destructive power and that horrific curse. Her combat strength rivaled that of a sixth-level sage!

“Indeed, Night General is extremely powerful. He killed the Fifth Awakening Enchanting Dancer when he was at the Fourth Awakening stage, and severely injured the Sixth Awakening Chaos Chosen Burning Howl when he was at the Fifth Awakening stage! This is enough to prove that he is worthy of this honor,” the old woman said.

"But he's a member of the champion team, a captain-level powerhouse. Especially with Captain Yang Chen away from Giant City, wouldn't he become the acting captain?"

"Furthermore, isn't being the acting captain of the championship team practically the acting champion?"

"Can he convince the public? He's only twenty-four years old, right? And he's only at the fourth stage of the five senses."

"The doll is already a captain at the age of twenty-three."

"It's different. The puppet has captain-level authority but no team members under its command. But this is a captain with real power! He has the right to mobilize the champion team! Will the other members of the team submit? There is also a newly promoted sixth-awareness powerhouse in the team, Zu Chao, who is also the disciple of the Sword Mad Overlord. He has only obtained the authority of vice captain."

"Win over the masses? Are you serious?" The old woman smiled.

The middle-aged man paused, touched his bald head, and said with a wry smile, "I must have been stupid to ask such a question. Others might disagree, but as for General Ye, I doubt anyone would object."

The processors in Team One might not be aware of Yang Chen's intention to train Night Generals, but the Night Scouts had known about it for a long time.

Not to mention, Li Yelai used the Styx Horn to revive the former champion team members.

Many of the championship team's family members and friends are extremely grateful to Night. Although a confidentiality agreement has been signed, this gratitude will not change.

They will be the most loyal supporters of the Night!
With their support, Li Yelai would not be questioned.

The old Mad King, who was at the head of the group, said, "Then at tomorrow's armor-donning ceremony, drape him in gold-trimmed shoulder guards. Let the world know that the Champion Team's Night Generals already have captain-level combat power. He is the Champion's acting commander!"

"It just so happens that he's also an 'undercover agent,' well, even if it's fake. But let's make the Blood God and Immortal factions happy. Their dual-chosen gods have gained extremely high authority in our government! This will allow them to act even more boldly!"

"This is killing two birds with one stone!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, but soon, an old man looked at the old mad king with suspicion.

“My lord, at this critical juncture, will Night General becoming the champion's agent cause any trouble? Those outside families and giant cities are all eager to compete with the champion team,” the old man said. “Moreover, Night General’s background is related to the Jing family. Could this cause problems?”

"Ever since that group of Jing family members arrived, they've been trying to contact Binghe, who is also Ye Jiang's sister," the old woman said. "They're really persistent! Knowing Ye Jiang's temper, it's a good opportunity to teach them a lesson! They'd better behave themselves, or they'll regret it. As for those outsiders, there are indeed quite a few geniuses among them."

It is said that a genius young man from Kunlun Giant City advanced to the sixth level of enlightenment in less than three years.

He seemed to possess something special, including a certain degree of resistance to curses. I don't know where he heard about the cursed girl in Border City Three, but he came running over.

"It's alright," the old Mad King chuckled. "Let them compete. We can't reveal his achievements, but can't that at least make him famous?" (End of Chapter)
