Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 419 Makes Me Happy
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Cheese knew that Li Yelai was physically strong.

Now, among the Six Senses, there are probably very few who can rival him.

To leave teeth marks on Li Yelai's body that didn't fade for half a day must have taken a lot of effort.
Obviously, this was intentional.

Provocation? Declaration of sovereignty? Warning?

I wondered why I hadn't noticed this about the doll before.

Is it true that distance makes the heart grow fonder?

Cheese took a deep breath, the bitterness and jealousy in her heart growing stronger.

She was rational and restrained.

Because she knew very well that she was about to face danger; it was her responsibility and her ideal. She had to investigate the truth of what happened back then herself.

This departure may be a one-way trip.

In the end, only their partner will be left with grief.
Therefore, she suppressed her feelings.

In her view, this was the right and responsible thing to do.

Just as she did, every parting leaves her with a debt of gratitude, which she then repays upon their next meeting.

The first time was a hug, the second a kiss. She looked forward to their next meeting.

Only when the truth comes out and he personally kills his enemy can he...
But she never expected that her home would be raided.
He was taken by a naive and shy girl in the most brutal way.

When Cheese learned of this news from the five teams that came to his aid, he remained silent for a very long time.

I drank all the coffee at the campsite, but I still couldn't calm myself down.

Regret and remorse quickly grew deep within me.

She sighed softly when she discovered that she was being parasitized by the Heartless Fruit.

He accepted his fate.

And prepare to face your own end.

Having been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, she absolutely cannot leave Wanlong Lake alive.

She will do everything in her power to seal this world-destroying Heartless Fruit within Wanlong Lake.

In this situation, she was actually somewhat glad that she hadn't pointed out the secret.

But Li Yelai, who should have been recuperating in the city, came to her instead.

In that instant, some thoughts began to stir deep within her heart.

But she remained rational and tried her best to suppress those dangerous thoughts.

She, who was parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, couldn't drag him down with her.
But when she saw the tooth mark, her rationality was overwhelmed by a surge of negative emotions.

'Infect him. Leave him at Wanlong Lake!'

'It's not just dolls that can be straightforward. You can too!'

'You considered so much, yet dared not break through the final barrier. And she took it without any hesitation!'

'Clearly, she only cursed him because he ignored her.'

'You can have him in your final years.'

'Experience that pleasure before you're killed. You don't actually want to die a virgin, do you?'

'Drag him down with you into the abyss'

'In the final moments of his life, embrace him, kiss him, possess him.'

'You are more qualified than that woman!'

'Since we both have the five senses, he has no defenses against you.'

At that moment, it was as if a mysterious and seductive voice was whispering in her ear, bewitching her mind.

This made her breathing a little heavy. She had clearly made up her mind to ensure Li Ye's safe return, but at this moment, her heart wavered.

Even knowing it was the effect of the Heartless Fruit, she couldn't help but think about it.
However, the next second, Li Yelai, who was sitting on the stone stool on the ground, seemed to suddenly remember something.

He took out a bunch of spiritual fruits from his storage space and handed them to Cheese, who was still in a daze.

"Here, these are yours."

"Haven't seen you in so long, and you're just going to give me this lousy fruit?" Cheese blurted out instinctively, "Actually, I want to eat something meat."

Li Yelai looked puzzled and said, "Want to eat meat? That's easy. I have plenty of meat in my storage space. The doll was worried I wouldn't eat well outside, so it prepared a lot of ready-made meals for me. The storage space can keep things still, so they won't spoil."

"She's really virtuous," Cheese glanced back at the empty plate, then looked at Li Yelai and nodded slightly. "Okay, what are these? Spirit fruits?"

"These are special products of the church. They are specially provided by God. Other believers must perform great deeds to obtain these spiritual fruits," Li Yelai explained the effects of the spiritual fruits.

Sand pear, redwood, jasmine and cypress.

These can be respectively granted to cheese: underwater breathing, fire resistance, cold resistance, and lightning resistance.

While Zhishi was eating the spiritual fruit, Li Yelai took out paper and pen and recorded information about the Heartless Fruit.

"By the way, Cheese, when I came back in, I saw some ancient ruins," Li Yelai said.

“Yes, I know. Those were the predecessors of these human brethren. They inherited part of the legacy of the Calamity Mist and were once very glorious,” Cheese said. “Were you attacked?”

"I also saw the Pale Captain."

“Yes, she also explored the ruins, and it was indeed recorded,” Cheese said. “Each ruin contains a part of the legacy or history of a previous civilization.”

"The various city-states on the second level were able to develop because they received part of the legacy. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to cultivate psionicists, and their technology would be locked down. They would have to be raised by supernatural beings."

"But there is actually a defense mechanism in the ruins. That is, those afterimages and echoes you saw."

“They are actually the powerful figures from the past generations of that civilization, recorded in the ruins. Upon discovering intruders, they will appear in this form to attack them. And each intruder will summon an echo.” Cheese continued, “Of course, if the intruders do not possess divinity, the ruins will not create divine beings. This is a good thing for you.”

“Indeed.” Li Yelai was somewhat relieved that he did not possess divinity.

Otherwise, given my terrible luck, there's a high probability that I'll suffer the same fate as Captain Yang Chen.

When the champion is your teammate, you will feel incredibly at ease.

But if you were on the other side, that would be utterly hopeless.
"What percentage of the original body's combat power does the residual echo possess?" Li Yelai asked.

“It’s almost a 100% perfect imitation. And it’s immune to mental attacks. It’s killing me.” Cheese said, “But actually, it’s related to how much data the ruins record about the target. If only one ability is used in the ruins, then the echo can only use one ability as well. Moreover, they can’t copy forbidden items. Secret treasures can’t be perfectly copied; they can only have a fraction of the original’s effects. That’s their weakness.”

"Even so, it's still very difficult to deal with," Li Yelai frowned. "If we eliminate the Echoing Avatar..."

“If you were still in the ruins at that time, a second Echo Avatar would have appeared. If you were strong enough and kept winning, you could even meet all the recorded powerhouses, including Captain Yang Chen,” Cheese said. “Fortunately, they will disperse on their own once you leave the ruins. However, if you want to obtain the legacy within, you have to hurry, and it also depends a lot on luck.”

Luck plays a large role. If you're lucky, the echoes that appear will be countered by yourself or your teammates, allowing you to stall them and explore the ruins. If you're unlucky, even escaping will be difficult.

"So, I have appeared in the ruins. In fact, it has already been recorded. Perhaps I will encounter my own echoing avatar later?"

“Yes,” Cheese said, “However, you probably didn’t use your full strength either. So, your current avatar should be relatively easy to deal with. If your peak combat power were recorded, everyone except Captain Yang Chen would curse you out.”

This is a fact; to this day, Li Yelai's combat prowess has been affirmed by both the giant city and the church.

"By the way, what are you writing down?" Cheese looked at the pen and paper in Li Yelai's hand.

“Information, huh? You eat first, I’m going to the Ark. I’ll inform Giant City about the situation here first,” Li Yelai replied, explaining the existence and capabilities of the Ark.

If we're talking about transmitting intelligence, the Ark voters are the most convenient.

Currently, Jing Lin is still within the giant city, and can be used to quickly communicate with the authorities.

“I understand. This is indeed better than our plan. Then the operation to destroy the passage can be brought forward.” Cheese said after thinking for a moment. “Moreover, you can also look for some ways to counter the Heartless Fruit behind the Ark.”

“Don’t rush into action. Wait for the giant city to reply,” Li Yelai said. “When I entered the Ark, my perception of the outside world was almost zero. During this period, I need protection.”

Cheese smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me. I'm also a five-sense psychic. Besides, I have so many mimicking heavenly soldiers."

Indeed, the mimicry of celestial soldiers is particularly suitable for psionicists who use rambling and divine paths.

Both can enhance it, such as Cheese's Four Awakenings Dragon Shout.

This strengthens the psionic barrier and psionic sharpness of the mimicry soldiers, greatly enhancing their combat power.

If Li Yelai could inflict a devastating, instant-death effect on the simulated heavenly soldiers, that would be even more terrifying.

Of course, the consumption is also enormous. Therefore, the cost-effectiveness isn't particularly high.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. You eat first, I'll be right back," Li Yelai replied.

He then took out a suit and bronze mask from his storage space, and put them on after removing his armor.

Looking at Li Yelai's well-defined muscles.

Cheese silently took a bite of the crabapple, then asked, "Have you always entered the Ark in this form?"

“Well, after all, it’s impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, so these are necessary disguises,” Li Yelai explained. “The Ark records the image of the voters the moment they enter. So, I can actually roll around in the mud. Even if the mud has dried or fallen off in reality, I will still be covered in mud inside the Ark.”

"How do you know so much? Has anyone actually done this before?"

Li Yelai nodded; he had heard it from Chu He.

One voter, eager to enter the ark but without time to disguise himself, resorted to this trick. Therefore, everyone liked to call him "Clay Man."

Then, Li Yelai sat on the rock, closed his eyes, and channeled his spiritual energy into the Ark ticket.

The next second, his consciousness entered the hall.

"Captain, please help me contact Camellia, Chuhe, and Dawn. And please help me open a private space."

Li Yelai was unaware that after his consciousness left him...

Cheese walked up to him and whispered, "Xiao Ye?"

Seeing that Li Yelai did not respond, she stretched out her slender arm and removed Li Yelai's bronze mask.

Looking at Li Yelai's handsome face.

The cheese whispered, "Sometimes you're not on guard either."

Li Yelai had lectured her quite a bit about this, and the doll had probably been scolded as well. Perhaps another little mad king?

His mind might not be able to understand; it varies from person to person.
"But I'm different from you; I'm not some kind of gentleman!"

Then, as if remembering something, Cheese let out a soft hum.

"Of course, it's not a doll either!"

They actually fed him the medicine while he was unconscious.
Finally, she sat on Li Yelai's lap, leaned close to his cheek, and her slender, fair fingers slipped inside his clothes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a ruin.

An avatar of Echo, clad in radiant armor, wielding a halberd, and riding an elegant and powerful ancient dragon.

They are currently fighting against the invaders.

To the astonishment of the invaders, the echoing voice raised a hand to wipe its face. Thousands of Shadow Army heavy cavalry appeared!

At the same time, the ancient dragon unfurled its black and red steel wings, filled with psionic flames. It darted about like a meteor, while lightning spears appeared, attacking the intruders on the ground.

Even if the invaders were fully prepared, carrying several secret treasures and having a large think tank to analyze their tactics, it would be impossible.

He was still struggling to keep up with the blows.

"That's a high-level ability of the Netherworld Path, Shadow Army!"

"He really hasn't even reached the sixth level of perception yet?"

"The echo of that ancient dragon, lacking divinity, still possessed such power?"

"We can't stop them! Retreat!"

The Elysium faction's conquest team was utterly astonished.

They specifically chose this location to conduct experiments in order to understand the enemy's capabilities. That is, to encounter the echoing avatars of powerful officials and learn about their abilities and characteristics in battle.

As it turned out, the new incarnation that appeared completely overturned their expectations.

That combination of one man and one dragon is terrifying.

"This is the champion agent? This is just a facade?" Even the chosen one, Fallen Wish, looked solemn at this moment.

She didn't know exactly how many faces the champion's agents had. But she knew there were at least three!

With just one instance, it has already rendered a Six-Sense Demon General unable to lift his head.

This is terrifying! Just how terrifying would his peak combat power be?
If the Heartless Fruit could parasitize him, perhaps the Blissful Faction could have another Chosen One?
The handsome man beside her, however, was smiling and clapping.

"Okay, great!"

He had always wanted to seize powerful abilities through the Blissful Faction. And Champion Yang Chen's indestructible golden body was one of his options!

Once he acquires this physique, he will be invincible among the overlords!
But if you ask him what he wants most...
It's still the same champion-managed brand, Wanxiang Faces!
That ability is even more special; it's unique!
Moreover, possessing this ability is equivalent to possessing multiple abilities: Shadow Army, Divine General Dharma Form, and Weakness Detection.
These are all advanced capabilities from other paths!

To acquire these abilities, one must consume several precious Heaven-Changing Cages.

Now, he only needs one to gain so many powerful abilities. How could he not be tempted?
"I never expected that the powerful figure who came to support the champion would be you."

"Variables that even the holder of the book could not have foreseen."

"Night General, you truly delight me!"
