Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

A vast ocean suddenly appeared without warning, unleashing a terrifying tsunami. As if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in, it surged outwards, intending to devour the entire celestial palace.

This is the strategy employed by enemies from the future against the human army. They have long anticipated that the moment the Tree of Time appears, humanity will gather its forces and launch a concentrated attack, trapping them behind the rift. For them, this is undoubtedly the most critical moment.

However, what kind of legion can withstand the relentless erosion of natural disasters? Even the most indestructible iron army, even the most solid defenses spanning thousands of miles, will ultimately be reduced to nothing and completely swallowed up in the face of this monstrous tsunami!

In the distance, the psionicists who were rushing over changed their expressions and hurriedly dodged the roaring tsunami.

The Jing family experts who were originally on the ground also used aerial stepping techniques to desperately increase their position and increase the distance between themselves and the tsunami.

Li Yelai, who was about to approach the crack, was directly hit by the tsunami.

He was too close to the crevice, less than a hundred meters away. The water droplet almost instantly transformed into a tsunami, and he didn't even have time to reduce his impact speed. He crashed into the tsunami.

Meanwhile, countless terrifying figures swayed within the crack.

"The anchor point is located at the Divine Palace of the Immortal Realm, protected by the Heavenly Tribulation Inscription. All combat forces below the Overlord level will move out with the legion. Destroy the Heavenly Tribulation defense mechanism as quickly as possible to cover the main force's entry! Once the River of Time has stabilized, our Lord will arrive in person!"

"Sixteen dangerous targets from past generations have been detected! Prepare to eliminate them immediately!"

"Sensing the cause and effect of the Divine Demon Stele, immediately proceed with removing the seal, etc. The holder is an S-class dangerous individual, Dawn Lord! This contradicts our knowledge of history. Why is Dawn Lord in the Immortal Palace?"

"Signing an S-class dangerous individual, True Monarch Dawn!"

"Signaled S-class dangerous individual, Hunter King!"

"I sense an S-class dangerous individual, Emperor Amber!"

"A Level A dangerous individual detected: Ghost Immortal Yu Tian!"

"A Level A dangerous individual detected."
"Signed S-class dangerous individual, the Hateful Empress!"

These lists have instilled wariness or fear in many future leaders.

These are all monsters that have left a notorious and terrifying mark on their history.

In their view, these are all mythical beings.

The Dawn Lord, having slain the kings of forbidden zones, is unparalleled in strength. He has even killed a god.

During the three hundred years he was active, that three-pointed, double-edged sword became a nightmare for countless forbidden civilizations.

After his death in battle, he transformed into Azure Flame and summoned Azure Flame Arrows.

The Hunter Queen is a descendant of the Old Mad King, said to be an adopted child. She is also incredibly terrifying; even the kings of the forbidden zones of that era dared not leave their domains, fearing assassination. She became a sharp blade hanging over the heads of all the kings and supreme beings of the forbidden zones.

If not for the betrayal of the Chaos traitors within the giant city, no one would have been able to find her. In revenge, she died a agonizing death, her body cruelly dismembered, leaving only a fragment of her shinbone in their civilization.

After the fall of the border city, King Amber led the surviving humans to build even higher and larger walls. Without effective reinforcements, he held out for centuries. Even his most sworn enemies couldn't help but hold him in high regard.

Finally, there was the hateful empress who had bloodily suppressed an era, and for a thousand years, both forbidden zones and giant cities trembled in fear of her power.

Even their civilization was once subservient to the hated empress.

Unfortunately, even the Goddess of Bliss, who personally intervened, could not survive.

"No need to worry, they are still very weak. Annihilate them, change history." The figure deep within the river of time spoke, its gaze fixed on a certain direction: "Dawn, we meet again. Unfortunately, you are not even worthy to face me now. Just drown in the boundless waters."

Then, He cast His current toward the white branch in the distance.

Under the cover of night, two enormous white branches grew rapidly, as if they were about to connect heaven and earth.

He knew that the other party was also a powerful being from a certain time and space.

In that time and space, His civilization may have been destroyed, or it may have been barely surviving.

"What is your spacetime like?" He asked.

"Humanity ekes out a living, with forbidden zones interacting and annexing each other. And we are the victors." The other party spoke calmly: "Then, a great catastrophe will come, and chaos will descend."

"That's pretty much it." He nodded slightly.

The two supreme beings from different times and spaces remained wary of each other and did not continue their conversation.

They were all waiting, waiting for the passage to stabilize, waiting for their true forms to descend.

On the other side, Li Yelai was stunned by the tsunami.

This is somewhat contrary to the natural order; it's usually Li Ye who summons natural disasters to fight enemies. Who would have thought that today, a natural disaster would strike him first?

In his entire life, he had only ever seen the ocean on a wrecked ship in the Dead Sea; he never imagined he would be hit in the face by a tsunami.

In that instant, Li Yelai could only activate his spiritual energy and unleash the secret treasure, the Black Ink Armor. A thin, dark membrane enveloped Li Yelai's entire body.

That was a spoil of war obtained from Ye Han; its defensive capabilities were astonishing, and if the opportunity was seized, it could even launch a counterattack. It would be perfect for self-defense.

The next second, a terrifying tsunami suddenly swept Li Yelai into the vast ocean. Its power was so great that it seemed as if every bone in his body was groaning in pain. The black armor attached to his body also twisted and shook violently. This force almost instantly pushed him to the brink of life and death.

As his body suddenly plunged into the icy seawater, Li Yelai struggled desperately, using his aerial stepping technique to try and steady his swaying figure amidst the surging waves.

But his spiritual energy was instantly dispersed upon contact with the seawater. The surging seawater relentlessly battered his body, each wave nearly pushing him into an even more dangerous situation. It was as if he were in a giant cradle. If Li Ye hadn't possessed the blessing of underwater breathing, he would probably have drowned by now.

Even with underwater breathing, no matter how Li Yelai glided, he couldn't gain any altitude.

Even if one can no longer use psychic powers, as a psychic.

Their physical strength is also very high; even when wearing heavy armor, they can still perform a triathlon.

But at this moment, the turbulent seawater, carrying Li Yelai, crashed heavily onto the mountainside. It was unclear whether this was due to misfortune or the immense impact of the tsunami.

The mountainside instantly cracked open, and huge rocks crashed down on Li Yelai with the ocean current.

Li Yelai roared, desperately dodging the falling rocks, unaware of how many boulders he was hit by.

Fortunately, the black armor was sturdy enough to protect Li Yelai during the impact.

Finally, Li Yelai grabbed a boulder to steady himself, but he was completely exhausted.

In that instant, he seemed to see a pair of enormous snake eyes.

He didn't know how much time had passed before Li Yelai finally felt the relentless onslaught stop.

At the same time, the surrounding seawater gradually disappeared.

Li Yelai opened his tired eyes, only to find that what lay before him was not a vast ocean, but a festering swamp.

An indescribable stench filled my nostrils.

"Where did this take me?" Li Yelai was utterly astonished. He looked around but saw nothing. The night had turned into day.

There was no Tree of Time connecting heaven and earth, no human army on high alert, and not even the palaces of the celestial palace.

Looking around, there was no sign of life, only endless ruins.

"What happened? How long have I been unconscious?" Li Yelai pushed away the blankets covering him and climbed out of the swamp.

His psionic energy had only recovered a little, so he shouldn't have been unconscious for very long. "Mr. Shadow, how long have I been unconscious?" Li Yelai asked.

However, he received no response.

Mr. Shadow seemed to have left him; in the mysterious space, the chains and mist vanished simultaneously.

This alerted Li Yelai, as this was an unprecedented phenomenon.

He used his aerial stepping technique to reach a high place, only to find that he was indeed still within the celestial palace. But it was now a scene of utter devastation.
How could the war have ended while I was unconscious?

Did humanity win?

Li Yelai immediately sped up, determined his direction, and rushed towards the original base location.

But the base has been reduced to ruins, and the divine treasure vault has collapsed. A supreme being shattered the barrier and took everything inside.

The huge stone tablet in the Divine Treasury was also covered in dust.

On the stone tablet, the girl's name was engraved right next to his, with a small heart in between.

But time seems to have eroded the stone tablet, making the names of the two people no longer clear.

Li Yelai remained silent, then his hand flickered with spatial energy as he took out a scarlet rein, followed by a massive and ferocious ancient dragon.

Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon!

The Overlord-level Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon appeared, but the sky showed no reaction, and the Celestial Palace's defense mechanism seemed to have been destroyed.

Li Yelai mounted the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon. The dragon's steel wings unfurled, and crimson flames surged forth.

They transported Li Yelai to the location of the Xiaoyao Pagoda as quickly as possible.

Along the way, Li Yelai saw countless corpses, some human, some of other races, piled up in large numbers, turning into a sea of ​​white bones.

Li Yelai saw the well-organized Iron Guard Legion, but the warriors inside the armor had already turned into skeletons.

Within the celestial palace, there seemed to be no living creatures whatsoever; not even a single extraordinary being, nor even an ordinary animal, could be seen. Only desolation remained.
Li Yelai's face was tense. While he was unconscious, a bloody and brutal battle broke out.

And yet I knew nothing about it? How is that possible!

Until he saw something that cracked his tense expression.

He controlled the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon to land on the ground, quickly rushed towards a collapsed mountain, and picked up a yellowed billboard from it.

This is an advertisement for toys!
The billboard was damaged, almost split in two, and had aged considerably over the years, turning completely yellow with a black stain—blood stained on it.
The billboard contained the last words left by the girl.

[Xiaoye, it hurts so much. Where are you? I can't find you (﹏)]
This nearly shattered Li Yelai's composure. What was he doing? At the time when she needed him most.
No, how could I have been unconscious for so long? Did that tsunami have a time-disrupting effect?

Fake, everything is fake!
Li Yelai gritted his teeth and put the billboard into the storage space.

Immediately, the Ark tickets were activated.

The next second, Li Yelai appeared inside the Ark's main hall. He made no disguise, wearing tattered armor and making no attempt to conceal his face, simply appearing inside the Ark.

The ark remained magnificent and brightly lit.

The moment Li Yelai appeared, the captain's voice came: "It's been ten years, Copperface. I'm quite surprised."

"Ten years? I've been in a coma for ten years?" Li Yelai looked at the wall.

Only five scrolls still have patterns; the other eight remain blank.

"Please help me contact Camellia," Li Yelai said calmly.

"He died ten years ago, at the Tree of Time." The captain sighed from the depths of the Ark: "You're too late. He tried to contact you through the Ark many times before he died. Unfortunately, you couldn't give him any response."

"They needed you, and you missed everything. Lava Mine City fell, the Old Mad King died in battle, and the Border City was breached. Where were you then?"

As Li Yelai heard the captain's voice, he seemed to hear the shouts of his companions.

'Xiaoye, where are you?'

'Teammate, come back quickly.'

'How did it disappear? I'm waiting for you to take it back!'

"Captain!" "Night General." "Old Li." "Brother."

They waited for Li Yelai, but he did not respond. Now, everything has changed.
But Li Yelai laughed out loud: "You've put on quite a convincing act!"

"What?" the captain asked, his voice filled with doubt.

Li Yelai reached out and brushed his cheek, revealing the eternal face mask!

However, the power of blessing still exists, but the gaze of the chaotic gods has never been directed towards it.

Then, Li Yelai patted the wall of the Ark: "I opened the Face mask, and you can still be so calm? Well, after all, I've never opened the Face mask inside the Ark, nor have I seen the Ark being tormented by the vehicle killer. At the same time, I don't know the contents of the other scrolls. So, you can't fabricate anything either."

“I don’t understand what you mean, Copperface.” The captain’s voice carried a hint of impatience.

"It's fake after all. If it were real, you should be begging for mercy by now," Li Yelai sneered. "You really fooled me."

Immediately, gilding appeared in Li Yelai's eyes.

Mimicry, a divine dragon soul hidden within!

Mental resistance has increased dramatically!
Li Yelai's last dozen or so divine weapons appeared and shot towards various parts of the ark.

In an instant, the ark shattered.

No, it's the entire fictional world that's crumbling!

The world before my eyes was like a shattered mirror, torn apart by the divine weapon.

Its true nature was revealed.

It's all fake! It's all just an illusion!

As the false image shattered, Li Yelai found himself inside an extremely hot cavity, with the muscles and bones on both sides squeezing his body as if to crush him.

The acid secreted from it was corroding Li Yelai's black armor, emitting bursts of white mist.

I was swallowed by something and am now inside the body of some extraordinary being?

If I didn't have mental defense mechanisms, I might have been trapped in the illusion and gradually worn down.
That's a really clever tactic!

Li Yelai recalled the last scene he saw.

Those were enormous snake eyes—it was a Bashe! Had he been instantly killed and swallowed by a Bashe?

"Fine, fine, then you can be Old Ma No. 6!" Li Yelai laughed angrily, activating his facial expression!
Vehicle killer triggered! (End of Chapter)
