Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

With the plan and details finalized, one team of Night Scouts temporarily left to secretly guard the surroundings. While protecting Li Ye, they also kept watch over the others.

Even now, they have to try to avoid contact to avoid causing any unexpected trouble.

Everyone suspected that the other might be a threat to Li Yelai, so they simply stood by and protected him from the outside.

As one of only two Sixth Awakening experts here, Liu Yun leaned closer to Zhi Shi and asked in a low voice, "You seem to have difficulty moving. Are you badly injured?"

“It’s heavy, but Xiaoye used a healing potion on me.” Cheese paused and replied, “Don’t worry about me.”

"Oh? The Holy Healing Potion can make you even more beautiful? It can not only heal wounds but also preserve your youth? No wonder it's so rare!"

Liu Yun gazed at Cheese's delicate face and felt that she looked radiant and even more beautiful.

She speculated that Li Yelai had not only given the cheese the Holy Healing Potion.

There's probably something else involved.

As a seasoned driver, Liu Yun had sensed something was amiss.

She even gave advice on cheese before.

That was when they were about to leave the giant city. Cheese simply hugged Li Yelai and then left.

Liu Yun complained back then, "Just a hug and that's it? Why not let him walk while holding onto the wall?"

In retrospect, that statement was made hastily.
Holy crap, is this the benefit of being physically strong?

Under this gaze, Cheese remained calm, but her face flushed slightly.

Liu Yun wanted to laugh, but considering the circumstances, it seemed impossible.

So he said seriously, "I'm not teasing you anymore. You know the power of the Heartless Fruit. A girl who is still injured, has difficulty moving, and is acting alone is prone to dangerous thoughts. Avoid contact with others until the Heartless Fruit is eliminated."

“I know,” Cheese nodded. “But I’m not that fragile. And we’ll get support soon.”

Liu Yun nodded slightly, then stood outside the house with his sword in hand, preparing to protect Li Ye.

Cheese, on the other hand, remained inside the house to protect Li Yelai.

In fact, Li Yelai suffered extremely heavy losses in his battle against He Lan.

Almost all of the mimicry soldiers were destroyed, and the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon was also severely damaged and could no longer be controlled.

That Class A armor was shattered once again.

If it weren't for the fact that he could also obtain one of He Lan's powerful skills through the Heavenly Cage, Li Yelai would have suffered a huge loss.

So, Li Yelai took out a suit and a copper mask from his storage space.

Once again, we arrived at the brightly lit Ark Hall.

That's the advantage of the Ark; it can transmit intelligence and supplies at any time. Especially in this confined environment, Li Yelai can use the Ark to obtain support and supplies from the outside world.

However, it seemed that voters had just been received in the hall. The moment Li Ye came in, he saw the four white beams of light disappear.

"Which ones?" Li Yelai asked subconsciously, "Never mind, you wouldn't tell anyway."

The captain will not reveal the voters' secrets; this is a restriction imposed on him by the Ark.

"There's nothing I can't say. Several voters are challenging for seats. This isn't classified." The captain's voice came from deep within the ark: "On the contrary, Copperface, congratulations on your advancement to the Sixth Awakening. You've become stronger. The aura of chaos is also more intense."

"Thank you." Li Yelai didn't mind. As the captain of the Ark, he naturally knew many secrets.

"Captain, please contact Camellia and Dawn for me. And please open the hidden space for me."

The two did not keep Li Ye waiting for long; within minutes, they arrived at the Ark Hall.

"You've already reached the sixth level of awakening?" Jing Lin, wearing alien plate armor, exclaimed the moment he sensed Li Yelai's spiritual energy strength, "You truly are my good brother."

Yunyue arrived at the Ark dressed in a black robe, and this time, she made no attempt to disguise herself.

"Congratulations, you've become stronger. If you have the chance, let's challenge for a seat in the third ring together," Yunyue said.

“Of course.” Li Yelai nodded. After becoming a Sixth Awakening, he could challenge for a seat in the third ring.

Thus, they gain the right to cultivate spiritual plants within the Ark space.

“However, you seem to have been tainted by other chaotic energies,” Yunyue said. “Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’ve also been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit.” Li Yelai shrugged. “It’s currently trying to corrupt me and make me the new chosen one, but as you know, I’m fine.”

"No wonder they fought like this," Yun Yue suddenly understood why the Chaos faction had broken out in civil war.

Jing Lin's perspective was quite peculiar: "No, you're being parasitized by the Heartless Fruit? What happened? Did someone force themselves on you?"

"..." Li Yelai was silent for a few seconds before replying, "It's because I was trapped in a cage, killed a hegemon, and was thus parasitized."

"Ugh. This is boring!"

Li Yelai then looked at Yun Yue and asked, "Have you arrived at Wanlong Lake?"

"Yes, and we've already made contact with your main force. We've discovered that a war has broken out between the Blissful and Blood God factions, and we're looking for an opportunity to take them all down." Yunyue replied, "What's the situation inside?"

"It's alright, He Lan, I've already killed him. I was the one who was parasitized by him."

Yun Yue was clearly taken aback for a moment.

He Lan is the offspring of a legendary wanderer and should inherit the Wanderer's Coin to become the new Wanderer.

In the end, however, he betrayed humanity and killed the wandering knight.

This should have been the target of the wandering knights, but unexpectedly, Li Yelai had already cleaned up their own house for them.

In Yunyue's view, Li Yelai and He Lan's fates were somewhat similar.

Both of their fathers were wandering knights, and both were supposed to become wandering knights, but their fates were changed.

However, they each embarked on different paths. In the end, they became enemies and fought each other.

This left her with mixed feelings.

In the vision of the future she saw, the two had a good relationship.

In order to ignite the Azure Flame, he once handed his back to the other party and fought against countless human enemies.

Now, it has come to this end.
“He possesses the Heaven-Usurping Cage. This consumable treasure can seize the target’s abilities. I see multiple powerful abilities from different paths within him. He should possess more than one Heaven-Usurping Cage,” Li Yelai replied. “And I’ve heard about this Heaven-Usurping Cage from the Book Holder. He is very likely one of the powerful figures on the list.”

"He sought to seize your abilities, and that's why he set his sights on you." Yun Yue nodded. "He's most likely one of the strong individuals on the list. His fate has been twisted. But unfortunately, he ran into you."

Afterwards, Li Yelai handed two prepared intelligence reports to the two men.

“This is our action plan. Dawn, now that you've arrived at Wanlong Lake, it's up to you to deliver the intelligence to them.”

Yunyue nodded, this would save the authorities a lot of trouble.

After obtaining the intelligence, Jing Lin's hand flickered with spatial fluctuations, and he took out a hiking backpack.

"These are your priority supplies, so be careful. There's nothing I can do to help you right now."

“That’s enough, brother. You’ve already helped me a lot.” Li Yelai took the backpack.

A quick glance revealed a large quantity of golden peas, along with some medicinal herbs.

Now, it's much safer!

Li Yelai and his comrades were acting, but there was still a risk of accidental injury.

Now that they have the mimicry of celestial soldiers, Li Yelai can go all out!

"Be careful, Captain Night Guard." In the mountains and forests, the Night Guards warned, "Under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, we might actually do something."

“I know, come on.” Li Yelai nodded.

Then, golden peas fell one by one, and hundreds of mimicking celestial soldiers with the strength of the fourth level of perception appeared. A dozen or so Night Watchmen also assumed an offensive stance.

Together with the mimicry of heavenly soldiers transformed into an army formation, they rushed towards Li Yelai.

Li Yelai didn't hold back. He immediately used the Mythical Mimicry: Kunpeng!
Huge golden wings unfolded.

Mimicry: Abyss Dragon Scales!

Dense scales appeared on Li Yelai's body.

At the same time, Li Yelai activated the Xiang Yu face mask, which consumes the least energy.

The Overlord with Double Pupils has appeared in the world!

He brandished his black and gold dragon-patterned halberd and charged directly into the army formation.

That night, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted in the mountains and forests west of Ruohai City-State.

The powerful surge of spiritual energy swept through the mountains and forests with overwhelming force, destroying the entire area.

Wildfires surged, illuminating the night.

This naturally alarmed the psionicists within the city-state. They rushed out of the city-state and approached the battlefield, only to find a scene of utter devastation and the remains of some mimicking celestial soldiers. They transformed back into fragmented golden peas, scattered across the ruined battlefield.

At the same time, they saw a figure speeding past high in the distance, followed by a large number of mimicry celestial soldiers and black trench coats.

The figure was extremely fast, but there were many pursuers, and the number of its mimicry heavenly soldiers was also extremely exaggerated.

They surrounded the pursuers time and again, seemingly trying to trap them within the encirclement.

But that person's combat power was extremely terrifying, and he repeatedly broke through the formation of the mimicking heavenly soldiers.

With a swing of his black and gold halberd, no one could withstand him!

Before the city-state's forces could react, it broke through the encirclement and fled far away.

Behind him, rows of black trench coats fluttered in the wind, exuding a strong killing intent that chilled the city-state's troops to the bone.

At the same time, they vaguely heard sharp shouts.

"Go after him!"

"Funeral for him!"

"As a human champion's proxy, he must die as a human!"

"Captain Night General, we will send you off to your grave!"

Those who learned of this information, whether city-state forces or Bliss believers, immediately reported it to higher authorities.

"A fierce battle has broken out outside the city-state!"

Neither side is on our side!

"A large number of destroyed mimicry soldiers were discovered at the battle site!"

"If one of them is found to be an outsider, the city's night watchman will take over!"

"The other party also seems to be an outsider. They're suspected to be the champion's agent!"

"The two sides are engaged in a fierce chase!"

"The battle was extremely fierce; even superhuman beings with six senses were caught in the crossfire and killed instantly!"

"A report from the frontline outpost indicates that they have sensed the blessing of our Lord!"

"Almost all the outsiders have been alerted, and they are all hunting down that champion agent!"

"The battle was extremely fierce, and the city-state teams that were affected also became targets of the attack and were wiped out instantly."

One piece of intelligence after another was transmitted back to the Blissful Branch in Wanlong Lake.

These news startled the entire elite of the Blissful Faction.

Immediately, I realized what was happening!

The champion agent is being hunted down because the corruption of the Heartless Fruit has caused a chaotic aura to emanate from him.

The city's scouts discovered this and wanted to kill him before he was completely corrupted!
The Bliss faction originally planned to wait for the champion agent to be completely corrupted by the Heartless Fruit before he would come to them.

It seems impossible now. Before that happens, this champion agent will likely be surrounded and eliminated by powerful officials.

Therefore, Fallen Wish, as the chosen one of the Blissful God, immediately issued the order.

"Move the legions immediately! The strongest forces from the nearest city-states, rush to the battlefield at once!"

"The Chosen One must not be allowed to fail!"

As orders were issued, the power of the Blissful Branch was revealed.

However, some senior church officials have also expressed concerns.

"Lord Fallen Wish, the corruption of the Heartless Fruit is not yet complete, and the Champion Agent may not cooperate with us yet."

This is a normal perspective, indicating that the champion agent has not yet become the chosen one. Perhaps there is still resistance towards the Elysium faction.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hunted down; he would have come looking for him long ago.

“But this also means that his consciousness is struggling,” Fallen Wish said. “With the erosion of the Heartless Fruit, he is no longer a pure champion agent.”

"Otherwise, he would have committed suicide immediately upon discovering that he had been corrupted. He knew very well what would happen after he was corrupted."

"But the fact that he didn't do that means he still has hope and intends to find a way to turn things around."

"His companions, however, clearly do not think so. They also know very well that once the champion agent is corrupted, a powerful chosen one will emerge in our Bliss."

"This has led to the current situation. He neither came after us nor brutally killed his former teammates. He could only flee the battlefield in a panic," Fallen Wish chuckled. "And we will make the choice for him."

"Go forth, practitioners of the path to bliss, and go forth to meet your chosen ones!"

The echoes of battle reverberated almost all night.

Countless bolts of lightning struck, nearly destroying the entire mountain forest.

A massive golden dharma image roared up and shattered the mountain with a single strike.

A large number of mimicking celestial soldiers fell from the sky, turning into wreckage on the battlefield.

The powerful warriors of the Blissful Realm tried to intervene in the battlefield more than once, but were caught in the crossfire and suffered heavy losses.

But the intervention of Bliss made the official powerful figures even angrier.

The intensity of the battle seems to be escalating.

This anger dispelled the last remaining doubts of the Blissful High Priests.

They invested a great deal of resources, even mobilizing the Lust Demon Legion.

Ultimately, they forced the pursuing official powerhouses to retreat.

As dawn broke, a city-state's delegation finally spotted the great man in a shattered mountain range.

The man sat leaning against the rubble, breathing heavily.

The rich aura of blessing instantly confirmed his identity to them.

So, a young believer named Bluestone knelt nervously but humbly before that great man.

"Welcome, God's chosen one! We have come to greet you."

He knew he might die; if this lord still refused to acknowledge his divine identity, he would be instantly killed.

But he might also rise to the top in one fell swoop and become this man's most loyal servant!
A few seconds later, he heard the adult's voice.

"Then let's go," Li Yelai said, looking down at the kneeling young man, his voice filled with exhaustion.

It seems that after this chase, they have made a choice.
Of course, he was faking it! (End of Chapter)
