Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The invasion of the Scaled Skeleton Civilization has finally come to an end, with its million-strong army and numerous warships completely depleted.

Even the Holy Emperor, the strongest among them, sank into the river of time in despair.

In the final moments, he found hope, saw the anchor point, and saw hope again.

But despair also followed. No wonder the immortals didn't care about his actions, because the only anchor point was the myth of the origin of mankind.

Battleground!

That was a mythical era even more distant than the Heavenly Court.

Admittedly, if he could kill both groups, humanity would inevitably perish, disappearing from its very foundation. Even the Heavenly Court civilization might not exist.

But He couldn't do it.

On one side was Chi You, the God of War, along with his eighty-one emperor-level brothers.

On one side was the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, leading countless supreme human warriors. On the other side was an extremely terrifying and powerful Yinglong.

Should he fight Chi You alone, or should he fight Xuanyuan alone?

Even that black and white bear alone, He might not be able to defeat.

He painstakingly planned for decades, drawing warnings from the distant future, only to end up like this.

He was unwilling, he wailed, but he could only perish in the long river of time.

As he perished, the Scaled Corpse Emperor saw several other powerful beings, all of whom were alien powerhouses who had once sought to destroy the very essence of humanity, but had all died in despair. Their corpses floated and sank in the long river of time.

This place is a complete trap!
A trap designed to target enemies who have traveled across time and space!

On the battlefield, after the last Scaled Skeleton warrior was killed.

The surviving mimicry soldiers immediately transformed into golden peas and fell from mid-air.

Human warriors rushed forward, collecting as many golden peas as possible from the red-stained seawater or the ice.

The immortals bestowed blessings upon humankind at the very last moment before the crack closed.

Some of our fellow humans obtained some intelligence about the mimicry of the heavenly soldiers.

After being infused with enough psionic energy, these mimic warriors can once again fight alongside humans.

This will be a powerful weapon for humanity in the fight against disasters!
At the same time, humanity also obtained several formulas for refining mimicking celestial weapons. The optimal formula involves capturing 'celestial demons,' or creatures from the Void Realm, sealing them, and then combining them with some ores from the Celestial Palace to refine them. The resulting weapon is quite powerful.

If you manage to capture a high-strength Void Realm creature, that's incredibly lucky; you might just acquire a divine weapon.

Upon learning of this formula, the powerful humans were utterly astonished; they simply lacked any efficient means to seal Void Realm creatures, let alone actively capture them.

The creatures of the virtual realm are still too dangerous for humans.

Virtual beings that invade the physical world often cause bloody tragedies.

The second recipe involves refining the bones of powerful creatures with spiritual plants and minerals.

Humans can manage to do this, albeit with some difficulty.

Immediately after the war with the Scaled Skeletons ended, psionic artisans, despite their injuries, began studying the giant Celestial Soldier Furnace left behind by the immortals.

If possible, Jucheng plans to start forging celestial soldiers on the spot. If he can produce tens of thousands of celestial soldiers, he can repel any calamity.

This war did indeed yield some gains.

Humanity obtained intelligence from the future and also acquired some of the legacy of the Scaled Civilization. The destroyed warships still contained advanced technologies that humanity cannot yet access.

These technologies will become humanity's sharpest weapon.

Some powerful humans, however, received gifts from immortals.

They obtained some kind of secret treasure or elixir.

For example, Li Yelai obtained a Red Jade Lotus, whose function is similar to the Philosopher's Stone, allowing him to bear the consequences of using forbidden items. In terms of effectiveness, it might even be better.

The doll also received a warm-colored jade pendant.

That immortal seemed to have seen the hidden risks deep within the doll's consciousness.

Unfortunately, even the immortals of that time were powerless to solve this problem.

After dropping the jade pendant, a mimicry of a celestial soldier spoke to the doll, saying that the jade pendant could alleviate the risk to some extent.

Unfortunately, this only alleviates the problem, not eradicates it. As the doll's level increases, the awakened dark side will eventually descend.

This left Li Yelai speechless for a moment. Even an immortal couldn't solve this problem?

No, it's more likely that the situation was too urgent, and the immortal didn't have time to resolve the risk.

With the Heavenly Court's advanced technology, they should be able to resolve this risk.

As long as humanity can fully acquire Asgard's technology.
As for stopping the doll's progress and preventing it from becoming a hegemon, that won't work.

Her talent was too great; her spiritual energy was constantly strengthening itself every second.

Even through self-suppression, one will eventually be promoted.
However, the immortal also left behind many benefits, including information on the various palaces within the celestial palace, as well as the key points for completing the challenges, and the hidden locations of certain spiritual plants and mysterious mineral veins.

This is the legacy left to humankind by the Heavenly Palace Civilization, or the ancient Heavenly Court.

Those who obtain this information can relatively easily acquire inheritances or knowledge from the Celestial Palace.

If humanity can digest all the inheritances of the Celestial Palace, its combat power will rise once again!
Perhaps among these are technologies for resolving issues within the consciousness of dolls.

Unfortunately, humanity doesn't currently have the time to explore and digest it.

Another war has begun, and they must once again rush to the front lines.

The heavily damaged human legion was reorganized and set off again.

Those psionicists who were still able to participate in the battle returned to the fighting ranks.

They planned to board the Underworld Train to another battlefield, during which time they could also recover their psionic energy.

At this moment, Captain Huo found Li Yelai: "General Ye, were you the one who awakened that immortal back then?"

Li Yelai, who was about to board the train, nodded slightly.

He didn't hide this fact and told Captain Huo about the effects and costs of the Styx Horn.

"And you can use a secret treasure to replace the price of the forbidden object?"

“Not bad, but the horn’s activation limit is unknown. And on the battlefield, it’s easy to revive enemies. We’ll have to ask the puppet to control the airflow,” Li Yelai said.

After a moment's thought, Captain Huo said to Night Stalker behind him, "Use the forbidden power of the Ice Witch to preserve the corpses of our psionicists, especially those whose brains are still intact. Freeze them and bring them on the train."

"You mean...?" Li Yelai's expression changed; he certainly understood what the Captain Huo meant.

"What the hell do you want to do?" The official captain grabbed Captain Huo by the collar. "They're already dead! Do you want them to suffer even in death?"

This captain came from the second border city, and his scouts suffered heavy losses. Among them were his relatives and friends.

"I know, of course I know!" Captain Huo roared, "But we have no other choice! What other options do we have? We were able to destroy the Scaled Skeleton Civilization before only because of the resurgence of the immortals and the future human champion's selfless attack."

"It was human reinforcements from the future and the past that enabled us to win that war."

"Now that the immortals are gone, the future is unknown! If we want to win this war, we must abandon everything, including humanity!" "Are we to expect a powerful human from another timeline to also slay the Time Worms?"

"Or should we go to the Celestial Palace to find another well-preserved immortal corpse and awaken it?"

"No, we won't be that lucky."

Captain Huo took a deep breath and continued, "We learned some information about the future from the records of the Scaled Skeleton Civilization."

"Humanity in the future is indeed dazzling, with heroes emerging one after another. Among the powerful figures present, several supreme beings and kings have been born."

Captain Huo's gaze swept over Li Yelai and the doll, and he continued, "That should have been humanity's golden age, but it was still driven to a dead end by the awakened forbidden zone."

"Soon after the Celestial Palace opens, forbidden zones will begin to awaken one after another. And among the first batch of awakened forbidden zones is Black Origin City!"

"We must not only win, but win decisively. We must gain more intelligence on the future and absorb the technology of both future civilizations. Otherwise, we will still lose."

“I know that this is desecrating the corpses of our fallen heroes. I am willing to pay any price. If they awaken and believe I have done wrong, they may kill me at any time.” Captain Huo looked at Li Yelai: “After I die, Night General, you must awaken me and let me fight once more!”

The captain surnamed Huo's words silenced the other captains.

A few seconds later, a captain said in a deep voice, "Count me in too. If they want to hate, let them hate me."

"Night General, in their history you became the Dawn Lord. Although history has been flawed, your talent is undeniable. Survive as long as possible. And call me back."

“That’s right. Actually, I would prefer that Captain Night, Captain Puppet, and Little Mad King all leave the Immortal Palace and preserve their strength.”

"There's no such thing as time invasion in their timeline. There might be some changes, but don't worry about it." Li Yelai shook his head; naturally, he wouldn't leave. At this point, no one could remain uninvolved.

Afterwards, everyone boarded the Yellow Springs Train, which immediately set off for the battlefield.

On the train, the group hurriedly recovered their psionic energy while discussing their next tactics.

Wilderness Rangers also participated.

This time, the authorities have brought many forbidden items, which might be able to turn the tide against all odds.

The official team even considered using the Möbius strip and Li Yelai's misfortune to replicate the 'corner tactic' once again to decapitate the enemy's powerful figures.

But the enemy's strength is probably no weaker than that of the Scaled Corpse.

Moreover, the decapitation tactic can at most decapitate the overlord, but it has no chance of winning against the supreme being. The supreme being can kill a six-awareness being with little effort, even a group of six-awareness beings.

This made the powerful humans somewhat impatient.

Currently, the celestial tribulation has not yet been resolved, and the highest-level combat forces of both humanity and the enemy have not yet been deployed. It appears that both sides are in the same predicament.

But that's not actually the case. Once the Heavenly Tribulation fails or is broken, both sides' high-end combat forces will be unleashed, and humanity will undoubtedly be defeated!
The opposing side may also have emperor-level powerhouses, as well as a considerable number of monarchs and supreme beings.

Humanity's strongest fighting force consists of only monarchs and supreme beings, who are outnumbered and lack strength.

We can't expect the Amber King to turn the tables and defeat someone of a higher level, can we?
Therefore, the only hope for humanity to win is before the Heavenly Tribulation fails. Once the enemy's strongest force appears, humanity will undoubtedly be defeated!

Of course, Li Ye will make a deal when he arrives. With Mr. Shadow's combat power, he should be able to eliminate this calamity. But he will have to face that supreme being directly.

Perhaps Li Ye should be allowed to escape into the time rift; who knows if Mr. Ying will take care of after-sales service.

After the transaction is completed, will they throw Li Yelai back? If not, Li Yelai will probably be adrift in the long river of time.

At that moment, the wandering swordsman Yunyue approached the corner, and her soft voice reached Li Yelai's ears: "Can you still summon them?"

Li Yelai paused, then shook his head slightly. He replied in the same low voice, "No, it requires an altar and a blood sacrifice. They probably don't have time to prepare them."

He knew Yunyue was asking if he could still summon the Chaos Demon Army. And Li Yelai, with only the fifth level of enlightenment, even as a chosen one, couldn't complete the ritual without an altar.

Then, Li Yelai countered, "And what about you? As the Chosen One of the Azure Flame, can you summon a demonic army?"

“Our Lord is too far removed from this world; His power has not yet truly affected the physical world.” Yun Yue shook her head slightly. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”

Neither of the two chosen ones could summon the demon army at this moment.

Then, Yunyue said to everyone, "But I have another trump card, but I need to get close to the rift."

"Please, everyone, create an opportunity for me!"

"Your Rangers' Azure Flame Arrow? Capable of killing kings, or even emperors?" The official captain's eyes lit up. That was the Azure Flame Lord's blessed arrow; perhaps it really could turn the tide.

"No, it's impossible. What blessed object could be so powerful?" Yunyue said. "But the true power of the Azure Flame Arrow lies in its ability to attack along the lines of cause and effect!"

"You mean, this is a causal weapon?" A captain's expression changed.

"Indeed, as long as I can aim at the Azure Flame Arrow of the Time Insect, it will surely pierce through the river of time and kill it!"

On the other side, on the battlefield.

The battle between the human legions and the Spirit civilization is becoming increasingly fierce.

Even a powerful captain like Liujue can't guarantee his safety on the battlefield.

In such a fierce war, individual bravery is unlikely to reverse the course of the battle.

Almost every second, both sides were experiencing massive casualties.

At a front-line position, the corps political commissar, Zhao Ling.

They struggled to their feet from the ruins.

He looked around in a daze, but could only see the corpses of his comrades.

His last memory was of an explosion.

An almost endless number of enemies charged in, nearly breaching their defenses.

To cover the artillery regiment behind them, he and his comrades held fast to the breach.

Ultimately, however, it couldn't hold on, and the responses from all sides dwindled.

Faced with the approaching enemy, the Iron Guards, whose ammunition was almost exhausted, raised their chainsaw swords, while the human soldiers raised their military shovels and launched a counter-charge.

Ultimately, a border guard detonated the molten metal bomb.
As a psionicist, Zhao Ling survived.

"Sixteenth Regiment, prepare to charge!" Zhao Ling said with difficulty, but received no response.

As he watched the enemy army surge forward once more, he raised his chainsaw sword, which had stopped spinning.

It let out a final roar and charged towards the enemy; it was a one-man charge!
Whether it was a misperception or not, Zhao Ling, in the midst of the charge, faintly heard the resounding bugle call, accompanied by the rousing charge!

Then, he saw pairs of eyes that had been closed forever suddenly open, and familiar figures rose from the dust, raising their weapons against the enemy once more.

He didn't know what had happened—was it a hallucination? Or a miracle?

He spoke again: "Sixteenth Regiment, charge!"

This time, his comrades responded in unison.

"For humanity!"

"For the Great City!"

"charge!"

We'll go to the netherworld to summon our old comrades, with ten thousand banners to slay Yama, the King of Hell! (End of Chapter)
