Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

When Li Yelai and his group returned to the temporary base, they saw several family teams preparing to leave.

Upon learning that a calamity was about to befall the Celestial Palace, some outside families made their own plans.

Some felt it was unnecessary to get involved in such a mess, and that it was better to give up any potential gains and leave the celestial palace as soon as possible.

Others believe that even when disaster strikes, they still have a chance to fight back. If they can overcome the disaster, they might even gain greater benefits.

Therefore, some families prepared to leave the Immortal Palace, some remained inactive, and others sent their core members out of the Immortal Palace while the rest stayed behind to bet on both sides.

This is understandable, given that the official confirmation of the news's reliability was obtained.

Even within the official ranks, there are differing opinions; how much more so for the psionic families?

Li Yelai naturally wouldn't say much, nor was there any need for moral blackmail. He glanced at the family team preparing to depart, then turned and entered the base.

And outside the doll's rest room, they saw Little Mad King.

She stood in the shadows, silently guarding outside the door.

She had promised Li Yelai that she would take good care of the doll. So, even after returning to the base, she stayed outside the doll's room.

"Thanks, teammate," Li Yelai said in a low voice.

"It's alright, it was something I promised you." The Little Mad King's cold and beautiful face remained expressionless: "Due to the curse, the doll's condition is difficult to ascertain, but it is speculated that it may be a second personality. It may even be related to the doll's extraordinary psychic talent."

The doll's talent is terrifying; even against her will, her psionic power gradually increases. For her safety, the authorities even attempted to suppress her Soul Well. However, they still couldn't stop that incredibly powerful talent.

She was constantly growing stronger; even when Li Yelai embraced her, he could feel her esoteric energy gradually increasing.
This is not a good thing for psionicists. Otherwise, the puppet would have long since become the youngest supreme being, or even a king.

"I understand." Li Yelai felt a little heavy-hearted. If he could have killed Ye Han earlier, perhaps this risk would not have occurred. "However, after I killed Ye Han, I obtained his Divine Demon Tablet. Perhaps... all of this is reversible."

"Give it a try. Can you master how to use it?" Little Mad King said.

“I tested it out on the way and know how to suppress the curse,” Li Yelai replied.

On the way, Li Yelai discussed and conducted experiments with the Night Watchmen.

The night scout was overjoyed, saying that his old leg pain was cured.

Unfortunately, the Divine Demon Stele could not suppress Li Yelai's misfortune; otherwise, Li Yelai would not have encountered Bashe and Yunyue.

Afterwards, Li Yelai told Xiao Kuangwang about his encounter with Yunyue.

This made the Little Mad King frown: "She knows your identity as a member of the Ark and your identity as a chosen one?"

“Yes, she must have been in contact with Chu He, connecting all the clues together,” Li Yelai replied. “In order to kill Ye Han completely, I directly sacrificed his head. I guess that’s when it was discovered; the Wilderness Ranger is extremely sensitive to the aura of chaos.”

“You could actually put Ye Han’s body into the storage space first, and then find an opportunity to destroy it. You’re just too impatient. And that will always be a risk.” Little Mad King frowned and pondered, “But given her identity and combat strength, we can’t silence her.”

"We can only take it one step at a time. I'll take a look at the doll first and then help out later."

"okay, I get it."

"Thank you," Li Yelai said, pushing open the door and entering.

Inside the room, the doll, having removed its helmet, sat in a chair, lost in thought. Its beautiful face appeared hazy and lovely in the setting sun.

She seemed somewhat troubled, or perhaps deep in thought. Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and a sense of darkness seemed to shroud her eyes.

Perhaps hearing the door open, her gaze shifted from the window. When she saw Li Yelai, her eyes sparkled, illuminating her gaze and making her smile even more radiant and captivating.

She stepped forward and embraced Li Yelai, saying, "You scared me to death! They wouldn't let me go out."

After the Tiangong Palace crashed, she was extremely worried, but due to her condition, she was unable to leave the base.

"I'm fine." Li Yelai gently stroked the girl's head and said, "Ye Han just has more tricks up his sleeve; in terms of combat strength, he's not as good as Fen Xiao."

"Is that voice still there?" Li Yelai asked in a low voice.

The doll shook its head: "At least not now, but I don't know when she'll reappear."

Li Yelai could clearly sense that the girl was somewhat fearful and uneasy at this moment.

How could she feel at ease knowing that someone could potentially influence or even replace her at any moment?
"I killed Ye Han, but I did get his Divine Demon Tablet, which is the thing he used to suppress and strengthen the curse."

Li Yelai looked into the doll's eyes and said, "This might help you clear the voice from your mind. Even if it doesn't, it can suppress your curse."

The voice in the doll's mind actually existed a long time ago.

For a period of time after each promotion, that voice would appear, sometimes uttering dark words to bewitch the doll.

But as the doll gradually stabilizes, the sound will disappear.

She initially thought it was the corrupting power of chaos, but the moment the curse was amplified, the voice reappeared, growing louder and louder, even affecting the doll's behavior at one point.

If strengthening the curse causes that voice to appear, then suppressing the curse would reverse the outcome, wouldn't it?
"I'll give it a try first. Divine Demon Tablet, suppress the curse!" Li Yelai took a deep breath and began to inject spiritual energy into the Divine Demon Tablet in the Well of Souls.

As spiritual energy was injected into it, the divine and demonic carvings on it seemed to come back to life, emitting countless lights and shadows.

At the same time, an invisible domain was unfolded. Perhaps because it could not be fully controlled yet, the domain was not large, only about ten meters in diameter.

"Did it succeed?" the doll asked, blinking its eyes. Neither Li Yelai nor the doll itself could detect whether the curse had been successfully suppressed.

So Li Yelai said to the door, "Teammates."

The next second, Little Mad King walked in through the door.

She stopped and stared at the doll for a few seconds. A slight smile appeared on her cold, beautiful face. From her perspective, a beautiful and charming girl was standing beside Li Yelai. Although a certain fear surrounded the beautiful girl, and one might feel fear if they looked at her for too long, at least she had seen the doll's face for a short time.

"There's still a hint of fear in your eyes, but congratulations, doll. And you're very good-looking," Little Mad King complimented with a slight smile.

This surprised the doll, and Li Yelai also smiled.

"That beast Ye Han has finally become somewhat useful."

In the beginning, the Divine Demon Tablet was unable to suppress the doll's curse.

After the Divine Demon Stele was strengthened once within the Celestial Palace, its suppressive power was greatly enhanced. Although it could not perfectly suppress the doll, it could at least allow the doll to communicate normally with outsiders.

Ye Han, Ye Han, you've finally become somewhat useful! That's a good thing!

The doll, Little Mad King, Li Yunyan, and the others have been tormented by the curse for far too long. Now, at least they can have a meal together?

The doll suddenly asked, "Has Xiao Jiangling's curse also been suppressed?"

“That’s right.” Li Yelai nodded. As long as the target is within the domain, he can curse and suppress it.

It is currently unknown whether this Divine Demon Stele can suppress the Old Mad King's curse.

If possible, hahaha, let those kings of the restricted area see how the Mad King writes the word "mad"!

The Old Mad King's combat strength is among the strongest of all kings; he could easily take on the King of the Forbidden Zone in a one-on-one fight. Without the curse of lifespan, the Old Mad King can unleash his full power without restraint!
Wouldn't that make the King of the Penalty Area bleed to bits?
"You still don't trust me?" the Little Mad King asked. "In what way?"

"No, not at all." The doll pursed her lips. The current Little Mad King made her less wary, but she still had this kind of unspeakable suspicion, or rather, worry.

"If it can suppress curses, can it also strengthen them?" Little Mad King asked.

This is Ye Han's greatest strength; the enhanced curse is terrifying for psionicists.

If Li Yelai were to acquire this ability, it would truly be defying the heavens!

In battle, if a curse is amplified and it affects the user, the user may be killed by the curse without even needing to attack.

"Unfortunately, it won't work." Li Yelai shook his head.

"Don't know how to operate it?"

"No, simply reversing the Divine Demon Stele will strengthen the curse. I can hear the mysterious chanting, but I cannot unleash my domain."

This is the most awkward part, perhaps it's incompatible with the Divine Demon Stele, or there are other problems.

A domain that suppresses curses can be opened, but a domain that strengthens curses cannot be opened.

Or rather, it cannot be expanded.

They could only be bound within Li Yelai's Well of Souls.

Unless someone can enter Li Yelai's well of spiritual energy, in which case Li Yelai himself would most likely be dead.

Of course, while he can't amplify other people's curses, he can amplify his own.

Li Yelai really didn't understand why the Divine Demon Stele could strengthen his misfortune if it couldn't suppress it.

However, this is still an extreme measure.

The amplified curse possesses terrifying destructive power; it even destroyed celestial palaces. If used in combat, it's a matter of seeing who has the tougher life.

At this moment, a powerful figure in the virtual realm called out: "Captains, please come to the conference room for a gathering."

Due to interference from the palace, the sound did not travel very far, but the psionicists within the base all heard the call.

When Li Yelai and his two companions arrived at the makeshift meeting room.

The doll that removed its helmet attracted a lot of attention.

"Who is that? She's so beautiful."

"You look unfamiliar. Wearing a gold-woven trench coat, are you the captain of your Giant City team?"

"That can't be right. Our official team leader met with them beforehand."

"The person next to her is the champion agent from City Three, holy crap, could it be Captain Doll?"

"She's actually that beautiful?"

"Her curse... has been suppressed?"

"That beast Ye Han did leave behind some good stuff."

"I'm so envious."

Hearing the praise and amazement from the outside world made the doll blush a little. She is very active on the Internet, but in reality she is easily shy.

"I knew it! How did you, a champion agent, get snatched up? Turns out your girlfriend is this beautiful. Even I'm smitten. Doll-like sister, gender doesn't have to be so strict, right? I could have her too." Mo He, still in his wheelchair, was pushed closer by Ma Hongyi. Despite his injured hands and feet, Mo He joked.

Ma Hongyi said, "Looks shouldn't work on Lao Li. I think the doll probably used other methods."

"+1"

The two powerful figures smiled and nodded, clearly holding a very stereotypical impression of the champion team. They then began to speculate about how the puppet had been created.

This made the doll blush even more, because her method... could not be told to anyone.

Mo He and Ma Hongyi's gazes swept over the doll beside them and Little Mad King a few steps away. The smiles on their faces grew increasingly amused.

Immediately, Mo He said solemnly, "Thank you for killing Ye Han and avenging my clansmen and friends. You will always be an honored guest of our Mo family."

“He deserved to die. I was going to kill him anyway.” Li Yelai shook his head and took out a bracelet from his pocket: “This should belong to you. Return it to its rightful owner.”

"Please keep it; it was originally your spoils of war." An elder from the Mo family said, "Its original owner greatly admired you and once said he wanted to compete with you. If he lost, he would join the champion team and become your subordinate. Now that it's in your hands, it's fate."

Li Yelai nodded silently, feeling a mix of regret and sadness. If that beast Ye Han hadn't killed and robbed him, he could have gained another companion.

Both the Ma and Mo families chose to remain within the Immortal Palace. In their words, they had nowhere left to retreat. As powerful families within the same megacity circle, they had a responsibility to suppress this calamity.

In fact, the Mo family planned to send Mo He out of the Immortal Palace. She was injured and had difficulty moving around, and as the core prodigy of the family, she could not afford any mistakes.

But Mohe said that without her coordination skills, the human battle group's combat strength would inevitably decline. She insisted on staying in the Immortal Palace.

Subsequently, representatives from various organizations arrived, and the meeting began.

Captain Yin Huo briefed everyone on the precise details of this calamity. The calamity is the legendary Tree of Time, and the enemy originates from the future. Its numbers and strength are unknown.
A solution was proposed: destroy the anchor point before the branches of the Tree of Time have fully grown.

"If successful, this calamity can be completely averted. A captain has already led a team to investigate. The good news is that one of the anchor points was accidentally destroyed by Captain Night, reducing the number of enemies we will face."

A powerful member of the family asked, "But this is just luck. If other anchor points are also located within the palace, we would have to conquer the palace before we can destroy the anchor points. If it is a palace with extremely high difficulty, we probably won't have a chance to destroy it. It will have already grown up before we can destroy it."

“That’s right. This is all up to luck. If the Time Branch grows fully, we’ll have to face the enemy from the future.” Yin Huo nodded.

"Can we defeat them? Their ability to transcend time suggests they possess immense combat power," a powerful figure asked.

"This is the Divine Palace of Immortal Treasures. If any overlord or higher-level powerhouse appears, the Immortal Palace will eliminate them for us," Yin Huo said. "Of course, since the opponent comes from the future, their intelligence will certainly be stronger than ours. They may even have methods to deal with the tribulation lightning of the Immortal Palace. Therefore, if we are unable to defeat them, we must immediately abandon them and leave the Immortal Palace completely, locking the calamity within its walls."

“But,” another official captain spoke up, “this makes things even more unpredictable, and since the enemy comes from the future, they might have ways to break through the Celestial Palace. And the exit is too close to the giant city.”

"That's right, but for now, this is the only method we have."

Three steps to destroy the anchor point and extinguish the seedlings of disaster.

If it fails, proceed to the second step.

Confront the future enemy head-on, suppress them, and then forcibly destroy the anchor point. Block out any subsequent enemies, thereby suppressing the calamity.

If we fail again, everyone must leave the Immortal Palace and defend its entrance to the death. With the King and Supreme Beings guarding the outside, the possibility of it falling is very low.

However, abandoning the Celestial Palace also gives the enemy time and opportunity to prepare. The enemy may become even stronger.

No one knows how many enemies have emerged over the course of time. (End of Chapter)
