Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

When Li Yelai activated his mask, he was cursed with misfortune. If he continued to reverse the Divine Demon Monument and strengthen the misfortune, he could transform into a causal-level divine abomination.

While attracting greater misfortune and malice, it also gained a powerful ability to attack divinity.

This is also why Li Yelai was able to remove the strange spiritual energy from Hong Lan's legs.

That spiritual energy came from a broken sword, and like the Regretless Gem, it was a legacy of the Blood Rider civilization.

It was an extremely insidious and troublesome kind of psychic energy, or rather, divinity.

Once it touches the physical body, it will autonomously erode the target's flesh and attach itself to the target's psionic energy, making it difficult to remove.

If the target also possesses divinity, the effect will be exceptional.

After all, the Blood Rider civilization was a rebellious civilization specifically targeting so-called 'gods'. Most of its methods were aimed at divinity.

If Hong Lan possesses divinity, the consequences will only be worse.

However, Li Yelai, a causal-level divine being, perfectly countered this divinity.

Similarly, the reason Li Yelai was able to destroy the anchor point in the Immortal Palace was because Ye Han had amplified the curse on the Divine Demon Stele.

In that instant, Li Yelai, transformed into a divine fiend, directly shattered the divinity contained within the heavenly palace, causing it to lose its protection and power and plummet to the ground.

If Li Yelai were to master this power, it would become a sharp weapon against those highly awakened spiritual energy experts!

Overlords, supreme beings, and even monarchs have all refined themselves into divinity.

Li Yelai is only at the fifth level of awakening now, which is too weak for a hegemon and makes him easy to kill.

But if one advances to the sixth sense, or even a higher level.

This is where Li Yelai's advantage comes into play.

Furthermore, if the opponent uses any causal attack, Li Yelai can launch an even stronger counterattack.

"The Divine Demon Tablet and the Misfortune Combination actually have this effect? ​​Ye Han really sent some good stuff," Li Yelai said.

“Indeed. The Divine Demon Tablet is very special, but something that requires killing the previous holder to obtain is rather strange. You have to hide this. If some people find out that the Divine Demon Tablet is in your possession, they might kill you to steal it.”

The Supreme Being of the Rock said, "Furthermore, in the currently analyzed Future Civilization Communications, it seems that it was mentioned that there are quite a few holders of the Divine Demon Tablet."

"A considerable number?" Li Yelai was somewhat surprised.

"Based on the information currently being analyzed, yes. It changed hands many times in the future and eventually fell into the hands of some terrifying being. Future civilizations are quite wary of it, fearing that they might be tainted by its karma."

"Cause and effect?"

Ye Han, that beast, is so arrogant. It turns out he's just a one-time holder of the Divine Demon Stele.

He will eventually be slain by a powerful figure in the future, and that figure will become the new holder of the Divine Demon Monument. Until the next one appears.
Ultimately, the Divine Demon Stele will fulfill some purpose and remain in the hands of a powerful being.

Now, Li Yelai has interfered, disrupting this trajectory of fate.

Similarly, Li Yelai also became entangled in this cause and effect.

We need to be careful about this. Afterwards, it's estimated that people will come for the Divine Demon Stele.

The Supreme Being of the Rock continued, "Simply put, divinity is a special kind of spiritual energy that has been refined. There is a great difference between divinity and spiritual energy."

"To give you the simplest example, a psychic barrier imbued with divinity is difficult to neutralize with ordinary psychic energy. Therefore, it is difficult for a powerful being below the Overlord to break through the Overlord's defense. However, a psychic attack imbued with divinity can unleash power several times greater than that of ordinary psychic energy."

"Therefore, very few people can fight against overlords who are above their level. Your captain Yang Chen is just an exception; not everyone is a human champion. As the number of promotions increases, the difficulty of fighting against those above one's level will also increase."

"But once you have this ability, you also have the resources to deal with overlords or even supreme beings."

"Of course, that's on the premise that you have to advance to the sixth level of awakening. Right now, if you face an overlord, you'll just get instantly killed."

Li Yelai nodded; naturally, he wouldn't rashly challenge the overlord now.

If we're talking about the six-awareness powerhouses I know, those who could rival the overlord are probably just puppets and the Chosen One of Chaos in his divine favor state.

The doll's main feature is its immense strength and ability to fly like a brick, while the chosen one, under divine favor, is granted a trace of divinity by the gods, thus gaining the ability to challenge them.

Speaking of which, if Li Yelai were to enter a state of divine favor, borrowing power from the Blood River or the Plague Father, and then transform himself into a causal god of karma...
Will it crowd out the power of the gods? We'll have to find an opportunity to test that.

So as not to lose sight of divinity when trying to get something for free.

As one of the chosen ones of the two Chaos Gods, Li Yelai has never used the divine favor before.

After all, the commotion caused by the gods was quite significant; it could be detected from more than ten kilometers away.

It's too easy for outsiders to notice.

Therefore, Li Yelai never used that power. He simply used the blessing of the mask.

Li Yelai was also worried that if he were truly favored by the gods, would the divinity they bestowed upon him distort him?

The Supreme Being of the Rock suggested that after Li Ye came to repair the Well of Souls, they should find powerful beings with divinity, such as overlords or supreme beings, to practice their skills.

If needed, he can go to Border City No. 3 to assist. He will definitely ensure that Li Yelai masters this power.

This made Li Yelai very grateful.

It's important to understand that both overlords and supreme beings are significant figures in human megacities. They are either leaders of powerful families or hold high positions within the city. For someone to volunteer to be a sparring partner is simply too extravagant.

After a brief chat, Li Ye took his leave and departed with the old butler.

"Supreme One, you truly value him highly. Is there anything I don't know?" the Giant Cauldron Overlord asked.

They naturally valued Li Yelai's abilities, but surely they wouldn't invite a Supreme Being to be their sparring partner? Within the Giant City Circle, there are only four Supreme Beings in total, and all of them bear the important responsibility of protecting the Giant City.

"We've analyzed part of the future intelligence," said the Rock Supreme. "In the future of the Scaled Skeleton, he became the Azure Flame True Monarch."

“I know.” The Hong family tyrant’s expression changed slightly: “Although they are followers of the Chaos God, the Wild Rangers do fight for humanity. That is why we have reached an agreement with them.”

“Naturally, so I don’t care about Dawn Lord’s identity. On the contrary, I’m pleasantly surprised by his talent,” the Supreme said. “And the Yunling civilization left behind many special artifacts.”

"Those appear to be objects used in causal attacks. However, they haven't told us exactly what those objects are," the Giant Cauldron Overlord replied.

Causal strikes are a psionic technology that the authorities greatly covet. If humanity could acquire this technology, it would be able to weaken certain dangerous targets in advance.

During this period, a large number of researchers devoted themselves to the study of causal attacks, but without success.

"Li Yelai also suffered a karmic blow. It was because of this karmic blow that his Well of Soul was damaged."

"We know that."

"And the medium used by the Rhythm Spirit Civilization to unleash causal attacks against the Night General is..."

Rock Supreme paused for a moment: "Champion's Cloak!"

The two overlords' expressions shifted slightly. As far as they knew, causal attacks could only be executed through a medium with a strong causal relationship to the target.

And to use the champion's cape to launch a causal attack on Li Ye—wouldn't that represent...?
"He became the champion in that future?" the Giant Cauldron Overlord exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed, whether he's the Human Champion or the Dawn Lord, his future identity may differ, but his path leads to the same goal: fighting for humanity." The Rock Supreme murmured, "In the near future, the Forbidden Zone will revive and become active again. At that time, a great war will surely erupt once more. The balance that has been maintained for many years will be broken. I hope that geniuses like Night General can rise to prominence as soon as possible before then!"

"But we old guys had to hold on before they rose to power."

Meanwhile, Li Yelai returned to the Hong family manor with the old butler.

The head of the family, Hong Lan, left ahead of time.

He had changed into sportswear and was standing up with the help of two women. He was moving slowly through the garden.

Her slender legs trembled precariously, as if she might fall at any moment, yet she stubbornly endured the discomfort and persisted in standing.

Although it was painful, she enjoyed the feeling of standing on the ground.

Beside her, a young man dressed in a casual hoodie seemed somewhat shocked.

After exchanging a few words with Hong Lan, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and left.

He passed by Li Yelai and nodded slightly when he saw Li Yelai.

Li Yelai nodded in response. Then, the two walked away from each other.

He was a complete stranger, but the young man's spiritual energy was quite strong, and he seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the sixth sense.

Watching the young man's departing figure, Li Yelai asked the old steward, "Who was that? An elite of your Hong family? I don't think I've seen him in the Immortal Palace before."

“No.” The old steward shook his head and said in a low voice, “He is a healer who travels through the wilderness. Don’t let his youth fool you; his methods are quite unique. In some major cities, he is known as the Life-Chasing Healer. However, he has a rather temperamental personality, and whether he makes a house call depends entirely on his mood. Our Hong family caravan invited him to treat the patriarch’s injuries before. Even when we offered him an A-grade weapon as payment, he refused to come.”

"Isn't this here?" Li Yelai asked.

"That's why he's known for his eccentric temperament," the old butler replied, shaking his head. "I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind. However, he's too late. The patriarch's injuries have already healed. We'll compensate him for his trouble in making the trip."

Li Yelai nodded slightly, not paying any attention.

The young man known as the "Life-Chasing Healer" got into his car with a complicated expression.

"What? Is it tricky?" his companion asked.

"No, we're too late. Patriarch Hong's legs have been healed, although he can still barely stand. But with just half a month of recuperation, he'll be able to walk freely. In less than two months, he'll be fully recovered," the young man replied.

"I never expected that besides you, there would be someone else who could heal such a strange divine power. This place truly is full of hidden talents." His companion was somewhat surprised, feeling a bit unlucky. An injury that hadn't healed for so many years was cured as soon as they arrived? This was too much of a coincidence!
"We should have come sooner." The Life-Chasing Healer sighed, "I was very interested in that divinity, what a pity."

"Don't even think about it. At least the Hong family is very generous. You've come all this way, so it's not a bad deal. Let's go check out other places first," his companion said.

The healer, however, frowned slightly, a sense of regret and loss washing over him, as if he had missed something.
He didn't know that, according to a certain script...

He will indeed heal Hong Lan's legs and gain the Hong family's friendship.

At the same time, obtain that flawless gem.

This was a huge opportunity for him, who was about to reach the sixth level of enlightenment. He would gain a powerful ability.

However, due to certain changes, the opportunity that should have belonged to him was taken away ahead of schedule.

This left him with a vague sense of loss.

On the other side, Li Yelai declined the Hong family's dinner and gifts, but accepted the Regretless Gem and the Holy Healing Potion.

Taking more things would be going too far.

Li Yelai can enable auto-pickup at the church. That won't work here.

Despite calling it treatment, Li Yelai didn't actually do anything.

The taboo objects caused by misfortune went out of control, but were blocked by the Supreme Being and the Overlord.

However, Li Yelai could not refuse the other kindness from the Hong family.

Twelve young disciples of the Hong family will travel to Border City No. 3 to join the official ranks.

Some were family elites, while others were newcomers who had just awakened their psychic powers.

In fact, some members of psychic families choose to join the official organization.

Like Ma Hongyi, he has already become the official team captain.

Upon returning to the second border city, you will receive an appointment.

Ru Mohe followed the military route. Her rank was the highest among the young people.

However, the dangers encountered after joining the official organization are much greater than those encountered while staying within the family.

Moreover, these family members do not have any special privileges officially.

At least, there isn't one within the championship team.

Vice Captain Zu Chao is a disciple of the Sword Mad Overlord.

The White-Robed Group, elite Night Scouts, Gu Yue. Their surname is Jiang, the same Jiang as the Old Mad King.

The champion team has at least 40% of its members being psionicists from families of all sizes.

Even Li Yelai has a noble family lineage, though we're not close.

After all, the offspring of psionicists have a higher probability of awakening psionic abilities.

They may be able to rise through the ranks thanks to family resources, but they will not have any other privileges.

When Ma Hongyi accepted the mission to assassinate Meiwu, the Ma family did not publicly announce the cancellation of the mission. They simply dispatched some combat forces to assist her.

Therefore, not many people within the family will choose to join the official organization.

"Let me make this clear first, there will be no special privileges," Li Yelai reminded him.

"Captain Night is too kind. We have no special privileges. This is a rule established by the authorities and our families long ago. If we die in battle, it can only be attributed to bad luck," the Hong family expert said, bowing.

Li Yelai remembered his name as Hong Ba, a four-sense psychic. They had fought side by side on the battlefield of the Celestial Palace.

"This is not the patriarch's order, but our own will."

This is no exaggeration. On the battlefield, Li Yelai was as powerful as a demon god, sinking enemy warships, penetrating enemy legions, and avenging their loved ones.

That figure, moving against the tide of the enemy, was almost etched into their eyes.

Without the patriarch's orders, they all wanted to fight alongside that figure!

"my pleasure!"
