Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The resurgence of the restricted area is one of the most important pieces of intelligence in this incident!

Over the next few decades, the major restricted areas will gradually recover.

While the forbidden zones are powerful and dangerous today, they do not represent the pinnacle of their civilization.

Once it enters a state of recovery, the order of its forbidden zone will undergo a qualitative change. It will possess a more powerful twisting force, distorting other living beings towards the beings within the forbidden zone, and the order of the forbidden zone will begin to spread outwards.

At the same time, the time it takes for previously exiled creatures to return to the forbidden zones will be greatly reduced.

This will cause the powerful beings from forbidden zones that humanity's ancestors killed at great cost to return rapidly during that period!
It's even possible that multiple supreme beings, or even monarchs, will emerge!
This is absolutely a disaster!
A super-enhanced restricted area is troublesome enough, but what's even more troublesome is that there's more than one restricted area that's been revived.

In the years to come, several forbidden zones will gradually reopen, and terrifying chaos will break out at any time.

Unfortunately, among the first batch of revived restricted areas was Black Source City, which was confronting the border city!
This is an old rival of the border city!

“Once Black Origin City is fully restored, several Supreme Beings and Kings of the Forbidden Zones will emerge. The balance we have been trying so hard to maintain will be broken in that instant.”

"Therefore, we must launch an attack on it before it recovers!" The voice of the Supreme Being of the Rock echoed in the quiet room.

After a long silence, someone whispered, "The time has finally come. Conquer the forbidden zone."

This is the shared dream of human megacities. But to this day, no forbidden zone has ever been conquered.

Although the restricted zones are hostile to each other, they will unite when facing humans. No single megacity can simultaneously confront multiple restricted zones.

If there were only one restricted area, the Old Mad King would probably have already stormed in. Humanity has four colossal cities, two monarchs, and four supreme beings. Destroying one restricted area is certainly possible. But facing three restricted areas, he can only retreat in defeat.

However, the alliances between the restricted areas are also fragile; they are wary of each other and dare not openly break with humanity.

Just like now, in the three forbidden zones of the border city standoff, no one dares to provoke the Old Mad King.

If the old Mad King really loses his temper, he might go crazy one last time before he dies of old age.

Randomly enter a penalty area. Perhaps you'll replace the king of the penalty area; even if you don't, you'll inflict heavy losses on the penalty area.

The other two restricted areas will not let this opportunity pass and will immediately annex them.

Therefore, they will not attack humans proactively; once they are overwhelmed, their so-called allies will bare their fangs.

This is one of the reasons why a large-scale war has not broken out between the megacity and the restricted area. They each possess strategic composure, and all parties are maintaining a delicate balance.

Now, the balance is about to be broken, and humanity must risk exploring forbidden zones.

"When will Black Source City recover? Is there a definite timeframe?" Ma Hongyi asked.

"No, the records of both future civilizations have been altered. The earliest was one and a half years, the latest was two years," the Supreme One replied. "And now we have obtained a portion of the ancient Heavenly Court's legacy, which requires some time to digest. We plan to launch an attack within a year."

"I finally obtained the Heavenly Court's inheritance, but I have no time to digest it at all."

"We will not stand idly by as we attack Black Source City, Doomsday Forest, and Heavenly Realm. Don't forget, Doomsday Forest has two kings."

"But they also won't allow Black Origin City to revive. They should know very well that once Black Origin City revives, it won't just be the human megacity that suffers. Their forbidden zone will also be in danger!"

"From this perspective, when they learn that Black Source City is about to recover, they will also launch an attack on it, making them part of our alliance. Unless, of course, they are willing to become vassals of Black Source City, just like the future Rhyme Spirit Alliance."

"But they might also reap the benefits."

"That's where our actions come in." The Supreme One smiled, but didn't elaborate.

But the shadow of war still looms over everyone's hearts. The war in the forbidden zone is expected to be even more intense than the war in the Asgard Palace.

The future civilization is naturally powerful, with even multiple monarchs and emperor-level powerhouses. However, on the battlefield, it only dispatches forces below the level of overlords.

However, there are no restrictions when fighting in the penalty area.

Currently, the Supreme Beings are not intervening. This is a tacit understanding between the Forbidden Zone and the Giant City, because once Supreme Being power is involved, the war will escalate rapidly, and may even escalate into a war between monarchs. Neither side dares to start a war of that intensity.

The human mega-cities aspire to development and cultivate more human geniuses. The forbidden zones, on the other hand, fear that other forbidden zones will snatch away their victories.

Once the war has begun, who cares about any tacit understanding?
The intensity of the war can escalate in the shortest possible time. It could even erupt into a war between monarchs in the very first moment.

Therefore, the giant city scheduled its attack for a year later.

There's no need to worry about not having enough time.

For psychic powers, wars don't last long, especially when both sides have high-end combatants like monarchs and supreme beings.

"I really hope that the Doomsday Forest and the Heavenly Realm will attack Black Source City first, but given the composure of that twelve-winged angel king in the Heavenly Realm, I doubt they'll be able to stop it. Back then, the fourth-generation champion killed his offspring and even roasted and ate his wings, but he didn't budge an inch. His composure is extremely strong!"

"As for the two kings of the Doomsday Forest, we could try to persuade them. Although they possess extremely high intelligence, they are still extraordinary beings after all."

"Moreover, we now have allies, the Wilderness Rangers will assist us."

"However, I'm a little curious about how humanity overcame the difficulties in those two futures. Could you perhaps reveal something, Rock Supreme?"

"In the records of both civilizations, it is said that our two giant cities were breached. But in the records of the Scaled Skeleton Civilization, we fought back and killed a king of a forbidden zone. In the records of the Rhyme Spirit Civilization, it is said that we voluntarily abandoned a giant city. It was a very difficult time." The Supreme One paused, then said, "Until the appearance of a certain supreme being, the remaining humans were able to catch their breath a little."

Several pairs of eyes turned to Li Yelai thoughtfully. They knew that the supreme expert was the puppet who was now absent from the meeting.

An emperor-level powerhouse who will rule the world with terror in the future.

Could it be that she was absent for this reason? Several powerful figures in the know pondered this in their hearts.

"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Everyone, please strive to become stronger within this year. We still have hope. Those two future humans didn't receive as much of the Heavenly Court's inheritance. These are all variables."

The powerful officials nodded slightly and departed.

The Jing family members glanced at Li Yelai, and two of the young men awkwardly said to him, "Captain Ye, thank you for saving us, Immortal Palace."

Then he left.

Polite, but not much. If there is.

But Li Yelai didn't care. Instead, he walked towards the Rock Supreme. After the meeting, he didn't leave. Instead, he sat in the main seat with a large thermos in his hand.

Looking at this scene alone, who would have thought that this middle-aged man in a white shirt, holding a thermos, would be a supreme being?

"Rock Supreme, what are your thoughts on the future list of candidates from Giant City?" Li Yelai asked. "I knew you cared about that." Rock Supreme handed Li Yelai a paper cup as well.

He poured two cups of tea, pushing one of them towards Li Yelai, saying, "I know what you're worried about. Perhaps in the future, you might not be on the side of Giant City, and might even have caused some damage to Giant City."

This was indeed what Li Yelai was worried about. He knew that one of his future prospects was to become the Dawn Lord of the Azure Flame Lord, the Chosen One of Chaos.

There's no problem with that; currently, Giant City and Ranger are allies.

But Li Yelai knew that the two dolls from the future timeline would be replaced by that dark consciousness, no longer suppressing her powerful talent.

In the end, he became the only emperor-level powerhouse who surpassed even the kings!
But she also became increasingly dictatorial and ruthless, ruling over many large cities and forbidden zones for a considerable period of time.

Therefore, Li Yelai really wanted to know the official opinion on this matter and the subsequent plans.

Therefore, he had the doll absent from the meeting so that he could directly explain things to the Supreme.

“In the discussions at the higher levels, someone did mention that it might be better to let her fully embrace her talent and grow rapidly,” said the Rock Supreme. “After all, if she becomes a monarch, or even an emperor, within a few years, it might be a good thing for humanity as a whole.”

Li Yelai's expression changed slightly, while the Rock Supreme laughed and said, "Don't worry, we won't do that. This proposal has been directly rejected."

"We will not abandon any comrade. On the contrary, we will suppress the rise of that consciousness."

"The doll's talent is extremely powerful. The only problem is that the rapid advancement brought about by this terrifying talent is risky. Only if that consciousness can truly get rid of its threat can her talent be truly unleashed."

"What humanity needs are dedicated administrators who are loyal to the Great City, not that dictatorial emperor." The Supreme One looked at Li Yelai and smiled, "You and the doll can rest assured."

Li Yelai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"But you must be careful. A great war is about to begin. Your karmic debts are extremely important. I will not force you to advance to any particular level within a year. Reaching the Fifth Awakening at your age is already quite fast." The Supreme said, "If we can fight side by side, we will surely be able to kill a Supreme of a Forbidden Zone."

The "fighting side by side" here refers to actual physical cooperation.

Divine abominations are both extremely important and extremely rare.

If we can suppress the enemy's divinity on the battlefield, our chances of winning will greatly increase!
However, Li Yelai was only at the fifth level of perception, making it impossible for him to intervene in higher-level battlefields. This divine prodigy was therefore of little use.

However, if one were to cooperate with a Supreme Being, although it would be very dangerous, it might become a trump card to kill the opponent's Supreme Being.

As supreme beings, when fighting, the suppression of divinity can be fatal.

The Supreme Being of the Rock hopes that Li Yelai can improve as much as possible in the coming year and be able to intervene in the Supreme Being's battlefield.

But soon, the Rock Supreme shook his head.

"Forget it. Just take it easy and proceed cautiously. Forget about it; I was impulsive."

He sighed softly, picked up his thermos, and left.

At Li Yelai's current age, having five senses is already quite good; rushing into a promotion would be dangerous.

He was indeed getting a little impatient. If Li Yelai caused trouble while trying to get promoted, he would become a sinner against humanity.

Regardless of the outcome of the war, humanity's most talented disciples must be preserved.

"Yes, they all have to be preserved," he murmured, disappearing the moment he stepped out the door.

However, Li Yelai didn't care about this. If he could, he wanted to directly intervene in the king's battlefield!

That's the best trading opportunity!

If we could use Mr. Shadow's power to eliminate a King of the Forbidden Zone ahead of time, that would be the greatest advantage for humanity!

Li Yelai had been keeping the trading opportunity open, all for the sake of that King of the Forbidden Zone.

The only problem is that the trade requires Li Ye to face the King of the restricted area directly.

If he encountered any powerful figure on the road, he would be rendered helpless.
"I still need to get stronger as soon as possible. At least, I need to get to the King of the Forbidden Zone alive. Otherwise, I'll be instantly killed if I just pass by a Forbidden Zone overlord," Li Yelai thought to himself.

Moreover, information about the resurgence of the restricted area could be shared with the church as appropriate, as the church would not want the restricted area to grow too large.

Perhaps they will send troops. At that time, Li Yelai will lead tens of thousands of church legions to fiercely break through the forbidden zone.

It can both deplete the forbidden zone and weaken the church's power.

This is a win-win situation.

Li Yelai won twice!
It's hard to say about the Immortal Faction, but the Blood God Faction is definitely happy.

Followers of the Blood God, charge forward with me, the Emperor, one more time!

I just don't know if we can coax a few more of the chosen ones over. They're all chosen ones, so what's wrong with a team-building activity?
In other words, their current status isn't high enough. If they could just wave their hand and summon the chosen ones to gather, then ambush them with eight hundred axemen...
As Li Yelai was lost in thought, his consciousness entered the illusory realm, where he saw his own cracked well of soul.

Above the Well of Souls, a golden feather floated, with specks of starlight falling from it, slowly repairing Li Yelai's Well of Souls. Compared to the initial cracks, it was now nearly half repaired.

In the following days, the strategy for conquering the Celestial Palace came to an end.

The passageway leading to the celestial palace began to fluctuate.

The giant city halted its exploration missions early to prevent its inhabitants from becoming trapped.

Meanwhile, the authorities planted a considerable number of spiritual plants within the celestial palace.

After the Celestial Palace detaches from the physical world, it will experience a time span of more than three times. Several years later, when it reopens, the giant city will be able to harvest spiritual plants within the Celestial Palace that would normally take more than ten years to mature.

Of course, this is on the premise that the official access point will be available a few years later.

The location of the Celestial Palace is uncertain, which is why the authorities dare not use it as a sanctuary.

If people are sent inside, but those outside can no longer open the celestial palace, like the Jing family back then, it would truly be a disaster.

Meanwhile, strange things are also happening within the celestial palace.

An official psychic witnessed a fleeting figure in a Taoist robe vanishing at the exit in an instant. The powerful guards stationed outside the exit, however, saw nothing. (End of Chapter)
