Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The night was as dark as ink, at the assembly plaza of the East City branch.

The dim yet resolute light illuminated a group of tall, upright figures.

When Li Ye arrived, the champion team of Night Scouts, whom he had summoned in advance, were already fully prepared and had all arrived.

Li Yelai's gaze swept over the group.

Among them, some familiar faces were missing, while some unfamiliar comrades appeared.

Those comrades who once fought side by side have either sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, or retired due to injuries.

At the same time, successors took over their positions and responsibilities.

For example, Hong Ba from the Hong family has passed the team's rigorous tests and become a newly promoted night watchman.

At this moment, he was staring solemnly at Li Yelai, his eyes filled with both awe for his captain and anticipation for the upcoming mission.

Not only Hong Ba, but also the other powerful figures from various families who had recently joined the official ranks, silently awaited orders.

Although they were not yet familiar with each other, they shared common beliefs and goals.

This mission will be a test of their abilities and a great opportunity for them to prove themselves and fully integrate into the championship team.

Li Yelai looked around and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, follow me to the battlefield!"

The simplest words received the loudest response.

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the night sky.

The next second, shadowy figures leaped up like ghosts, crossing the giant city without any concealment.

They moved with incredible speed, their figures darting through the night like streaks of black lightning, instantly piercing the silent night sky and leaving behind dazzling trails.

Their goal was clear: to board the Yellow Springs Train as quickly as possible and head to Wanlong Lake!

The streets were nearly deserted, but a few pairs of eyes still gazed up at the figure hurtling through the sky. They were stunned by the sudden sight and stopped to watch.

"What is that? Is it a psionicist?" a passerby asked in surprise, taking out his phone to try and capture this rare sight.

Not far away, Xinghuo, a street patroller, was inspecting the area.

He also looked up at the figure at the front of the line.

“He is a hero,” he replied softly.

Meanwhile, in the conference room in the main urban area.

An elderly man said, "Are you still deciding to send out the Night General?"

"He is the chosen one of God, who is immortal and not afraid of the virus. He is indeed the best person to help."

"At the same time, he can also transform into a causal-level divine abomination, which might really have a miraculous effect."

“But I’m still worried,” the middle-aged man said. “He just experienced the blow of the truth. Now we’re sending him to the battlefield.”

"That's right, I think so too. Besides, Night General is the main force against the Book of Destiny, we shouldn't let him take risks."

“You underestimate him too much.” The old woman slowly shook her head. “Hongzhuang has worked with him before. She told me that Ye Jiang values ​​friendship extremely highly. He would rather put himself in danger than let his comrades go. If we don’t let him go, we will really be harming him.”

"Logically, I should trust the Little Mad King's words. But..." Someone slowly shook their head.

"However, we still have to prepare for the worst. If something really happens to Yang Chen, we'll have to ask the Supreme One for help."

"A twisted champion would be a huge loss to humanity."

"Yang Chen, Yang Chen, what exactly happened to you that made it impossible for you to escape?"

"Is this the champion's destiny? Is the hidden force finally about to make its move?"

"That's perfect, let that being bump into the variables of cause and effect!"

And at the same time.

In a factory warehouse in Border City No. 3, Bai Ya growled, "Support Yang Chen? With Lord Di Yun personally leading the team? Why is this information only arriving now?"

“We’re just spies within the government, not high-ranking positions. This is an urgent mission; Lord Emperor didn’t even have time to notify us before gathering the team and setting off,” a follower whispered in response.

The Blood God faction branch in Border City No. 3 has been wiped out by the city's authorities.

It was during that siege that the giant city obtained the Yellow Springs Train and one of the keys to unlock the Celestial Palace.

At the same time, many spies were removed, and a large number of ordinary believers were arrested.

The Chaos faction's power within this giant city has been almost completely wiped out.

The remaining spies were unable to obtain firsthand intelligence until the champion team set off without any concealment.

"Damn it," Bai Ya gritted his teeth, "Where is Wanlong Lake?"

"Southwest of Qianzhou, exact location unknown."

"Qianzhou...isn't that the territory of Bliss?" The Second Demon General, Jade Face, spoke up. "Should we notify the Bliss faction? They don't know Lord Emperor's identity; if they harm him..."

"Lord Di Yun is a noble chosen one of the two gods, but he has no relationship with Bliss. Moreover, we dare not reveal Lord Di Yun's identity to them," Bai Ya said in a deep voice.

Indeed, Li Yelai's return to Jucheng to infiltrate was known only to some high-ranking members of both churches.

As the chosen ones of the two gods, Emperor Yan was naturally extremely loyal to them.

However, even though Bliss is also a member of the Chaos faction, this kind of information must never be disclosed.

The problem then comes full circle. Since Jile doesn't know that Ye Jiang is Emperor Yan, he won't have any reservations.

Besides, even if we knew, what could we do?

The Chaos factions are inherently enemies, and there are numerous instances of them fighting each other for followers and benefits.

Their attack on the Emperor's Fall was a normal struggle.

The Immortal and Blood God factions only managed to cooperate reluctantly after the emergence of the two chosen gods. Elsewhere, conflict continued unabated.

"Notify the headquarters as quickly as possible, and also inform the Chosen of Slaughter via secret message. In addition, notify the Immortal Faction."

"Dispatch an assassin squad to follow the official team. If Lord Emperor Yun encounters danger, we will launch a full-scale attack on Wanlong Lake! Lord Emperor Yun's safety is paramount!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, somewhere, at the base of the Bliss faction.

Inside a spacious room, bursts of erotic moans and panting could be heard.

Clearly, an obscene scene was unfolding inside the room. Indulging in debauchery and lust.

The sound grew louder and louder, but at one moment it turned into a horrifying scream. Then came the terrifying sound of flesh being torn apart.

After a while, the door was pushed open. A stench of blood and filth filled the room.

At the same time, a deformed humanoid monster with four long arms walked out of the room.

The monster had pinkish-purple skin, and of its four arms, the first two arms grew sharp claws, while the last two arms transformed into giant pincers like scorpions.

Despite her terrifying appearance, she possessed an irresistible allure, giving her a strange and unsettling beauty.

Then, the monster walked out of the room.

Someone laughed, "Twenty-three people are enough to create a Desire Demon, that's not bad. The quality of humans in Wanlong Lake has improved considerably." "Indeed, with the aid of the Heartless Fruit, the quality of that batch of humans has greatly improved. These humans, releasing intense desires, are the best sacrifices." A Blissful Demon General chuckled, "As expected of creatures personally created by our Lord. He accomplished this so easily."

"Think about it, the Blood God faction's vampires, the Immortal faction's plague knights. How many battlefields do they have to go through, how many believers die, how many viruses do they have to spread before they can produce a batch? But we only need to let them indulge in their lust."

"It's a pity that the champion discovered the Heartless Fruit in advance and destroyed the passage. Otherwise, as long as they returned to the giant city, the Heartless Fruit would have spread sooner or later. Even that king might have been parasitized."

"Hehe. You mean that kind of parasitic method? The Heartless Fruit has two parasitic methods."

"That king is too old; he probably isn't the kind we're thinking of. He can't possibly waste his lifespan just to get things done, can he?"

"It's hard to say. He's so old, and he's adopted a girl. Who knows what kind of fetish he might have?"

"It's hard to say, hahaha."

They talked about it without any restraint.

"It's a pity that the Heartless Fruit hasn't fully matured yet, otherwise the champion wouldn't have noticed. After all, he is the champion; even though he was parasitized, the Heartless Fruit couldn't forcibly seize his consciousness."

"However, in the end, champion Yang Chen and the two official elite teams were all trapped under Wanlong Lake."

"What choice do they have? Suicide to stop the spread? Or fight against the heartless fruit?"

"I hope it's the latter. If this group of human elites can leave offspring at Wanlong Lake, it will greatly improve the quality of the human bloodline at Wanlong Lake."

"Hehe, I can help too. Among the officials, there are some good-looking men and women."

"But those who remained on the ground went back to call for help. We should intercept them."

“No, wouldn’t it be better to let them attract even more people?” a demon general responded. “The Heartless Fruit is unsolvable. Teammates, even lovers, who are parasitized, are easily infected when they lack information. If they are all parasitized, we might be able to get the Heartless Fruit to its complete form ahead of time. Then, we can forcibly transform one of the parasitized individuals into the Chosen One of Bliss. As for the candidate…”

"Naturally, it's that champion!" At that moment, a young girl dressed in gorgeous clothes walked over. She had two horns on her head and possessed an astonishing charm, causing the ecstatic devotees, both men and women, to breathe heavily upon seeing her.

She is the chosen one of Bliss and the chosen one of Fallen Wish.

"If we can purify Champion Yang Chen, wouldn't the Blood God faction be furious on the spot?" she laughed. "This would also be a great honor for us."

"The champion of extreme bliss has long endured!"

"But this is the best-case scenario. His combat power is still terrifying; those several overlord-level dragons were so intimidated by him that they dared not show themselves." A demon general said, "Corrupting the champion would be ideal, but it's too difficult. There might be some unforeseen circumstances."

"It's alright, the longer it goes on, the better for us. The monsters on the third floor are enough to weaken him," Fallen Wish laughed. "Besides, we have another option."

"Another one?" Everyone asked, puzzled.

Then they saw a figure walking towards them from a distance.

"Your Blissful Faction actually managed to trap the current champion; that's truly remarkable." The newcomer was a young man around thirty years old.

He was toying with a coin in his hand. If Li Yelai, Yun Yue, and the others were here, they would probably recognize it as a Ranger Coin!

On his wrist was a crimson thorny ring.

“I’ll help you kill the champion.” The young man flicked the Ranger Coin and caught it steadily: “After that, I will become the new Chosen One.”

Sensing the divinity emanating from this young man, everyone's expressions shifted slightly; this was a hegemon!
"You, the chosen one of the Fallen Gods, have only just entered the ranks of overlords, yet you dare to boast of killing the champion?" A sixth-level demon general shook his head: "Even a chosen one of the same rank wouldn't dare to make such outrageous claims."

The Chaos faction hates the champion, but they are also aware of the champion's strength.

When Yang Chen was advancing in rank, he faced two overlords and multiple sixth-level awakening masters at the same time, and he was still able to turn the tables and kill them.

Now, his combat power will only grow stronger! He might even be able to challenge the Supreme Being!
A guy who has just stepped into the top ranks may have extremely high talent, but he will not be a match for the champion.

He is a genius, but the champion is an even greater genius! Rather than trying to defeat the champion, it's more believable that the champion became the chosen one.

The young man did not respond, but instead popped out the Ranger Coin again.

Before the coin fell, everyone saw a strange scene.

Behind the youth, a phantom image of a Qilin flickered. The Path of Myriad Phenomena?
At the same time, the youth's eyes turned blood red, and the surrounding air was suddenly filled with a thick stench of blood, as if countless demonic shadows were lurking within.

Spirit Eye Path!

The silver coin flying in mid-air suddenly spun and transformed into a huge halo of light, completely slicing through the sturdy base wall.

Divine Path?

The next second, the silver coin landed in the young man's hand.

The moment the coin fell, the young man demonstrated his ability to create three different paths.

“This is not all I am,” the young man said with a smile.

Duoyuan wasn't surprised, but chuckled and said, "That's why I invited him here."

"And what about the reward?" several demon generals asked.

“Naturally, it is the chosen one. I am happy to be chosen by God, and also…” The young man fiddled with the red thorns on his wrist.

"Furthermore, champion Yang Chen possesses an indestructible golden body!"

A hint of greed gleamed in his eyes.

The contemporary champion possesses unparalleled physique; even when fighting against opponents of the same level, armed with weapons, no one can break through his defenses.

This shows just how incredibly strong his physique was!
He has already acquired several special abilities, making him a formidable fighter.

If he were to acquire this physique, he would become the new invincible among those of the same level!

Of course, if the champion is difficult to kill, he also has another option.

He knew it.

There is another strong player in the champion team!
He shone brightly on the battlefield of the Celestial Palace, and was admired or envied by many.

He is very likely to become the next champion!
At the same time, that guy also has extremely special abilities.

If only that guy had come to Wanlong Lake too.

The invincible golden body of the champion, the mysterious face of the next generation of champions.

How hateful! I only have one last cage left to shackle the heavens.

Otherwise, I'll take both!

The young man clicked his tongue, thinking, 'That's truly a bit of a shame.'

Meanwhile, the Yellow Springs Train entered the wilderness and then the mountains and forests.

Li Yelai, Yin Huo, Jian Kuang, and the others then left the train.

The Yellow Springs Train can indeed bypass mountains and travel through them, but at its speed, it would take several days to bypass the restricted area and reach Wanlong Lake.

They can't wait.

"Night General, can you catch me?" Moon Shadow asked. "Or should I drag you along?"

“No need for that,” Li Yelai replied, his hand trembling with spatial fluctuations as a red rein appeared.

Li Yelai pulled suddenly.

The next second, a silver dragon roared through the mountains.

"Old Ma No. 4, full speed ahead!" (End of this chapter)
