Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Unable to go out, Li Yunyan stayed at home and didn't take care of herself.

Her hair was a little messy, and she had light dark circles under her eyes. She looked somewhat disheveled, but her youthful beauty was still undeniable.

As siblings, Li Yelai and Li Yunyan do indeed share some resemblance in their features. If Li Yelai were to use the Reversal Well, the resemblance would likely be even more pronounced.

At least, those who have seen her work photos have given her very high praise.

It's probably a case of distance making the heart grow fonder. Anyway, the younger sister Li Ye remembered, who played games with a lewd grin while picking her toes, didn't seem to be the same person they were describing.

However, in that future, the girl in front of him was his last blood relative.

However, it was mercilessly devoured by the raging fire, its skin was scalded, its blood evaporated, and its bones carbonized, meeting its end in extreme agony.

Yes, in the future illusion that Li Yelai saw during the causal attack.

That future version of myself was holding two charred corpses.

Among them was Li Yunyan, the younger sister he had watched grow up; Li Yelai would not mistake her for someone else.

That future version of myself, a champion of a certain generation of humans, ultimately lost my last loved ones.

He returned to the giant city as quickly as possible, only to find the charred corpses of his relatives and friends amidst the ruins.

They fought desperately against the enemy, but ultimately could not reverse the tide of battle and were engulfed by the raging black flames.

A petite girl tried her best to stand in front of her, wanting to shield her from the malice, but she still couldn't stop the terrifying flames.

Both of them turned into charred corpses.
It's too late, everything is too late.
Endless regret and despair melted away his last vestiges of reason, giving rise to a final madness!

In that instant, they all transcended the river of time and struck Li Yelai's mind.

It's unclear whether this is the effect of causal impact.

It was that future version of himself making his final lament to Li Yelai.

This made Li Yelai feel a pang of fear when he saw Li Yunyan. His heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

The girl in front of him seemed to have transformed into that charred, unrecognizable corpse.

He suppressed the flutter in his heart and said, "Little sister, how have you been lately?"

“What could possibly happen to me? You were risking your life in the Immortal Palace, I should be the one asking you that! Can your Soul Well be repaired? If it can't be repaired, it's alright, you can stay in the logistics team, it'll be safer,” Li Yunyan said.

From a personal perspective, she really hoped that Li Yelai would no longer go to the battlefield, but instead become a logistics team member.

After all, there had been discussions on the forums that Li Yelai's Soul Well had malfunctioned and might not be able to advance further.

In this situation, he is completely incapable of fighting; it would be better for him to remain in the rear.
"My Well of Souls will be repaired soon," Li Yelai replied, explaining that a mysterious feather within his Well of Souls was repairing it. This information was unknown to the outside world.

Li Yunyan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That's good, it's better to be stronger."

Li Yelai gave Li Yunyan a strange look, then said, "Little sister, the Jing family will no longer bother you."

“I know you’re quite famous in the city now. Although the outside world thinks your Soul Well is damaged and you might not be able to advance, any action they take against you or your family will incur public wrath,” Li Yunyan replied. “Besides, as an official, they can only bribe me; if they dare to use force, they’re truly courting death!”

"Unless they can make me put some divine child in my arms without anyone knowing. But if they really had that power, they would have done it long ago."

“There are so many forbidden things in the world, who knows what effects they might have?” Li Yelai shook his head. “But now, even if they had the means, they wouldn’t dare to do it. That’s one less troublesome one. But our relationship with the Jing family has already been exposed.”

"It's nothing, we don't plan to acknowledge any relatives." Li Yunyan shrugged. "We're not after the Jing family's wealth."

"Oh, and also, I finally killed Ye Han." Li Yelai felt happier whenever he thought about this.

“I know that, now I can say that my mind is clear,” Li Yunyan said with a smile.

Ye Han's actions have been exposed on the forum.

He murdered to steal treasures, then killed to silence witnesses, and later it was revealed that he had killed some of the family's young powerhouses.

Rumors suggest he has many female confidantes, some of whom are already married.

After these news broke, the Jing family, who had previously planned to marry Ye Han, were subjected to a barrage of criticism.

As for the Ye family from Kunlun Giant City, as Ye Han's ancestral home, they were naturally also affected.

Even though Ye Han has long since left the Ye family, the families of the victims will not let it go.

They're still arguing about it now.

At that time, the only thing Li Yelai lacked was an excuse to make a move.

As the official captain, he couldn't attack a psionicist from an outsider family without reason. And the clandestine church would also find it difficult to kill this anthropomorphic being imbued with great fortune.

But Ye Han made up an excuse and presented it to Li Yelai.

There's nothing more to say. Li Yelai is acting on behalf of Heaven.

"At the same time, I obtained Ye Han's Divine Demon Tablet. Although it cannot amplify other people's curses and lacks that kind of offensive power, I can still suppress curses for you." Li Yelai smiled.

This ability is extremely important to Li Yunyan and the puppets!
As long as they are within the area of ​​the Divine Demon Monument, they can have normal contact with outsiders.

Li Yunyan paused, then calmly asked, "Does it really work?"

“Yes, the doll’s curse can be suppressed. Of course, there seems to be some fear effect left, but she can communicate normally with outsiders now,” Li Yelai replied.

Li Yunyan took a deep breath, then clasped her hands together, her face sincere: "This Ye Han really brought good stuff! May good people... no, may the dead live in peace! May they die well, die well!"

"I can finally see Sister Xinhe's divine face and hear her voice. Otherwise, there would be rivers of blood... cough!"

Then Li Yunyan seemed to remember something.

He picked up an envelope from the coffee table drawer in the living room and handed it to Li Yelai.

"Brother, this is a letter for you." Li Yunyan said with a smile.

Seemingly to put Li Yelai at ease while reading the letter, she returned to her room.

"Why are you acting so strangely?"

Li Yelai was somewhat puzzled, then sat down on the sofa and opened the envelope.

The handwriting on the letter was neat and efficient, just like the writer's temperament.

This is a letter from cheese.
It's been a long time since we last met.

The two last met four months ago.

At that time, Li Yelai, along with Cheese and the other champion team members, cooperated to eliminate three Chaos Gods and kill the wanted criminal Black Umbrella.

After that, the two had a brief reunion before going their separate ways.

Li Yelai went to the Blood God's Asian headquarters to continue his undercover mission as a chosen one.

Meanwhile, Cheese and his companions continued their journey to investigate the events of that year.

They all have their own responsibilities and goals.

Every farewell is an anticipation of the next reunion.

'I'll always owe you something, I'll pay you back next time.' The girl had whispered in his ear. The scene flashed through Li Yelai's mind.

The girl's embrace was passionate and strong, her breath hot and lingering, her lips sucking and licking his neck, leaving dark red marks.

This shouldn't be an act between friends.
Or rather, the two of them had inadvertently crossed the line of friendship before Li Yelai even realized it.

When he was at the altar containing the ghost fairy, he picked up her petite body and touched her bare skin. He fed her white sugar.

When the Black Prison was out of control, I unexpectedly saw her snow-capped peaks, adorned with delicate branches and abundant fruit. And I buttoned up her collar.

During the siege of the Blood God branch, he helped her remove her clothes when she was injured.
After killing Black Umbrella, he accidentally kissed her sweet lips.
However, in the next moment, all the memories turned into raging fire.

The beautiful girl was suddenly set ablaze. She struggled and roared in the flames, but turned into a charred corpse.

Yes, the other charred corpse in the future scene is Cheese.
In that future, she protected Li Yunyan, standing in front of her even as flames attacked.

But they could not withstand the terrifying flames and eventually fell in the fire. Even as death approached, she did not flee.
The eerie hallucinations caused Li Yelai to close his eyes in pain. The throbbing pain in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable.

Inside the room, Li Yunyan, who was secretly watching, couldn't help but feel puzzled.

'Something's not right. My brother just opened the envelope, why does he seem so disappointed?' Li Yunyan thought. 'What did Sister Cheese say to him? Surely it's not like he's turned from love to hate?'

'No, with your brain, you probably wouldn't figure it out anyway.'

'Besides, given Sister Cheese's exceptional emotional intelligence, she probably wouldn't.'

On the other side, after more than ten seconds, Li Yelai slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.

He continued looking at the envelope.

In the envelope, Cheese inquired about his injuries and the damage to the Well of Souls.

At that time, the Asgardian War had already ended when they were escorting the S-class armored vehicles.

This allowed her to learn about Li Yelai's injuries. However, she was unaware that Li Yelai's Soul Well was being repaired.

[The investigation is going smoothly, and we estimate we'll be able to return to the giant city in about two weeks.]
[There are things that can repair the Well of Souls, don't worry. According to the local legends of Wanlong Lake, there seems to be such a spiritual fruit. Let me pick a basketful for you; you can even break the Well of Souls apart to play with it.]
[I've already advanced to the fifth level of awakening, and I'm very powerful. It won't be long before I surpass you, and then you can rely on me again.]
Looking at the concern and comfort in the words, Li Yelai smiled bitterly.

“You’re still the same as ever,” he murmured. He carefully put the envelope away and returned it to the drawer.

He sensed, deep down, the malice and mockery of fate.

They mocked his weakness and powerlessness. He failed to protect any of the people he wanted to protect.

The future outcome seems to have confirmed everything.

Even if he becomes a champion, he can only face defeat. That is fate.
No wonder the witnesses, in order to defy fate, did not hesitate to hide in dangerous spaces, becoming variables in destiny and passing on messages to the wanderers.

Fate's mockery was so arrogant and harsh.

Indeed, the two futures that are unfolding now are truly despairing.

Reinforcements that won't arrive for ten thousand years, and humanity struggling to survive.

Even if Li Yelai becomes the champion in the future, he will not be able to protect everything.

The future old mad king perished in the battle.

The future Little Mad King was betrayed and died tragically. Those who surrounded her wanted to see why she was so bold, so they dissected her body.

Too many, one after another, powerful figures have fallen. That is the malice of fate.

but.
Li Yelai took a deep breath.

fate?

Then let me show you how terrible the plague of fate can be!
Li Ye exhaled deeply. This time, he would protect everyone! His little sister, the dolls, the cheese, and many more people—he would protect them all!

To hell with fate, I'll strangle it!

At that moment, within the shattered Well of Souls, Li Yelai's illusory projection stepped onto the eighth step.

If there is any benefit to the shattering of the Well of Souls, it is that the rate at which psionic power increases will be accelerated.

The Well of Souls acts like a safety valve, protecting psychics from the influence of the Void to a certain extent.

Once the valve is destroyed, it can unleash its strongest power in a very short time.

Then, an uncontrollable distortion.
Just like that hero of the second border city, Mo Chen, the supreme being.

He used himself as bait, drawing out the chaotic forces within the second border city, as well as some powerful figures from the forbidden zones. Ultimately, he sacrificed everything, briefly touching the supreme level, severely damaging the chaotic faction and the forces of the forbidden zones.

That was the strongest attack unleashed after destroying his own well of souls.

This is a fatal blow that only overlords and higher-level powerhouses can unleash.

When a sixth-level expert shatters their Soul Well, it will only be momentarily distorted.

However, if the valve develops some cracks, it will actually make the psionic energy increase even faster.

However, this condition is too extreme. The Well of Souls is difficult to repair, and no one would shatter their Well of Souls in order to speed up their advancement.

Furthermore, increasing psionic power under these circumstances is an extremely dangerous move. It could very well widen the rift.

But Li Yelai was different. Within his Soul Well, golden feathers were repairing it. Furthermore, he carried the Sacred Wood Mandui, which could repair the Soul Well and even enhance spiritual energy.

He's willing to take risks!

His talent is indeed quite good, although not as good as that of a doll.

However, he became a psionicist at the age of twenty-three and reached the fifth level of awareness at twenty-four. Such a speed of advancement is extremely rare, and of course, this is partly due to the blessing of the Blood God.

But that's not enough; he had a gap of several years. He was still somewhat behind those exceptional talents in terms of level.

Therefore, we cannot let this opportunity of the Well of the Soul's crack pass us by. We must strive to improve ourselves.

Even if there are risks, you have to try.

The future has already changed!
The exceptionally talented Ma Hongyi survived.

The old mad king gained thirty years of lifespan.

Humans also inherited a great deal of the Celestial Palace's legacy.

He also obtained the Divine Demon Tablet, gaining the ability to transform into the God of Cause and Effect!

Too many people's fates have been changed.

A mocking arrogance of fate? How laughable!

After the soul enhancement from the adventure, Li Yelai's face turned somewhat pale. But he still managed a smile.

"Now, it's my turn to laugh at fate!"

The champion's cape, which he had placed to the side, fluttered slightly. (End of Chapter)
