Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Li Yelai, chosen by the three gods of chaos, and Jiang Botian, the nominal supreme commander of the third border city and the city lord of the giant city.

In the most secure secret chamber of the giant city, the most detailed Chaos Contract was finalized.

This contract granted the city's official psionicists and human soldiers different choices.

In order to maximize his profits, Li Yelai practically emptied his mind of all the chaotic knowledge he had.

We must strive to ensure there are no loopholes in the entire contract, lest those chaotic demons find fault and exploit them.

Under Li Yelai's manipulation, the contract with immortality allows the contracted party to gain virus resistance to a certain extent, increasing the speed of injury recovery by about 30%.

This blessing was very weak. For a Chaos God Chosen, Li Yelai could have provided a much greater boost, but the cost would have been much higher. For example, the cost of developing a virus within the body and spreading a plague. Therefore, Li Yelai canceled it, which is why the boost was not significant.

The price to pay now is that after death, the body will inevitably turn into a living corpse.

As the contractor, Li Yelai will be the supreme leader of these living corpses.

Of course, this was done in preparation for future relocation plans, and also considering that Li Yelai himself might also get into trouble.

Li Yelai gradually delegated this power through the contracts. As the first generation of contract gods, he was naturally the supreme leader. However, he couldn't possibly make contracts with each human soldier individually, passing on the Chaos Contract, establishing different power nodes, and so on, thus delegating power. This would allow the giant city to better implement the Immortal Army plan.

Even if Li Yelai really encounters some problem, the Eternal Army can still be activated by the Giant City.

It must be said that Li Yelai had already prepared for the worst: even if he died, the living corpses would not be out of his control, nor would they be taken away by other Chaos Gods.

The contract with the Blood God, however, is relatively more crude.

It grants the contractor a small boost to melee damage. However, to gain damage reduction and further enhancements, one must be consumed by the ever-growing bloodlust.

Now, they have a degree of autonomy. After the mutation, they are completely out of control. Unless they are gifted enough to be directly twisted into vampires, they are deformed monsters filled with bloodlust. Dangerous and uncontrollable.

After finalizing the terms of the contract, Li Yelai used the Immortal Life and Blood God's Chosen Mask respectively, employing the power of chaos, to sign the contract with the city lord.

Within this specially constructed secret chamber, the nun, a being devoid of spirits, also resides. Neither divination from the Chaos and Forbidden Zones, nor other psychic methods, can reveal her existence.

This is also why Li Ye was invited here.

The contract of chaos offers benefits that are completely disproportionate to costs. Ultimately, it is the power of chaos itself.

But what humanity needs is that kind of price!
Subsequently, this contract will be secretly distributed by the city lord and circulated in secret.
Li Yelai didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

This can indeed enhance human strength, but those who sign the contract, once they pay the price, are no longer human.
He truly dared not imagine what it would be like if his friends were mutated or turned into zombies and appeared in front of him.

Meanwhile, City Lord Jiang Botian, after signing the Chaos Contract, felt two different forces descend from the Void Realm, nourishing his body.

That's really great. If we can develop it further, humanity might become even more powerful.

As the city lord, Jiang Botian was naturally well-informed.

The power of the Chaos Gods has positive effects.

The Blood God grants courage and glory, Elysium grants art and love, Immortality grants longevity and prosperity, and Deception grants wisdom and inspiration. The Fifth God, however, grants civilization the power to resist despair.

If we could master all of these powers, or even just a portion of them, it would be a tremendous improvement for humanity!
But Jiang Botian suppressed the idea as soon as it came to mind.

An excessive focus on the power of chaos can only backfire.
At the same time, he noticed the change in Li Yelai's mindset. He said, "Li Yelai, I know your worries, but humanity desperately needs this power."

"I know, but none of us know whether this is right or wrong," Li Yelai said quietly. As the chosen one of the Chaos Gods, he truly understood the dangers of chaotic power.

“I understand your thinking,” Jiang Botian nodded. “Or rather, from the outside world's perspective, it is indeed a crazy idea. But we still need it.”

"Hopefully, nothing goes wrong." Li Yelai removed his mask.

“Speaking of which, you are now chosen by all three gods. Although Bliss herself doesn’t know that she has gained another chosen god, you can still use their power, can’t you?” Jiang Botian asked.

“Indeed, my mask is a perfect imitation of the Chosen Ones of Chaos, and it can even fool the Chaos Gods themselves.” Li Yelai nodded, introducing the characteristics of his power.

"So, is it possible for you to obtain the power of all the Chosen Ones of Chaos?" Jiang Botian asked, "To become the Eternal Chosen One in the Chaos Legends, or perhaps, the Chosen One of the Five Gods?"

It can't be said that Jiang Botian was too greedy; of the five great evil gods of chaos, Li Yelai had already taken three for free. Plus, he had an alliance with the wandering knights. This made Jiang Botian think twice.

Li Yelai shook his head: "That's unlikely."

"The difficulty is simply too great. Moreover, there's no chance that the Blood God valued my courage, that Immortality favored my misfortune, or that Bliss was purely an accident—I was parasitized by the Heartless Fruit. As for the Path of Deceit, even as a Chosen One of Chaos, I don't know the locations of its branches and headquarters, or even how many Chosen Ones or believers it has."

That damned trickery is truly insidious. Even among those in the Chaos faction, we know very little about it.

If you want to get something from Him for free, you at least have to make contact with Him to have any chance, right?
But they were too mysterious, and Li Yelai himself didn't seem to have much fun. There probably wasn't.
"And the fifth god, the Lord of Azure Flames."

Li Yelai paused for a moment. The Lord of Azure Flames was hailed as the God of Despair and Hope. Only by resisting in dire straits could one gain His favor.

Li Yelai is currently finding it difficult to reach the ultimate despair.

This is not because Li Ye himself is powerful; even he, now facing a Supreme Being, must retreat.

The real factor is Mr. Shadow!

Mr. Shadow's existence was always Li Yelai's safety net. Even Li Yelai's death could be reversed by Mr. Shadow.

It can be said that before completing all the transactions with Mr. Ying, Li Yelai had the biggest and strongest trump card.

This prevented him from reaching the deepest despair, and naturally made it difficult for him to obtain the power of the Azure Flame Lord for free.

He naturally coveted the protection of the Azure Flame Lord, his heroic incarnation, the Dawnbreaker True Monarch. He was the Azure Flame Chosen, or even the Azure Flame True Monarch!
The main focus is on an extreme burst of power!

The stronger the opponent, the better; even non-humans are better!
The damage dealt is multiplied!
If Li Yelai's main body were to receive this kind of boost, he would be able to easily fight opponents of higher levels.

Unfortunately, the Lord of Azure Flames is now too far removed from this world, far inferior to other factions.

Otherwise, Li Yelai could summon his heroic avatar, Dawn Lord, and sign a Chaos Contract with Azure Flame. "The risks of Bliss are too great, and the Lord of Azure Flame is too far from this world. It's a pity." Jiang Botian said with slight regret, "But for now, it's enough. Thank you for your hard work."

After exchanging a few words, Li Yelai left the secret room.

Soon, the contract spread secretly throughout the giant city.

Due to the city's tight security, the Chaos faction was unaware of the specifics of what had happened. However, the powerful figures from various factions all sensed that the power of Chaos was quietly spreading in the third border city. This greatly surprised and delighted them.

It seems that the Chosen Emperor has finally made his move!

If the city's leadership can be corrupted gradually, then the city could be sacrificed and transformed into a true stronghold.

"I knew it, Emperor's Fall could do it. After all, this race..." Within the Void Realm, a powerful being from Chaos spoke. "They love red."

'They like to display the heads of their enemies in a mound of skulls.'

'They are brave and resolute, full of martial virtue, and they also favor the holy number of our Lord, eight.'

'Perfect for our Blood God!'

This is obviously sophistry. They like red because their national flag was red before the disaster, and they still like to fly the red flag even after the disaster. This is their national pride.

Historically, the number of times a mound of skulls (京宮) has appeared has not been particularly high. What? Just because you set up a mound of skulls, does that mean it's related to the Blood God?

Of course, no Chaos Demon or Prince would refute this at this moment.

Because they are all powerful figures from the Blood God faction.

More importantly, once the Emperor's Fall successfully corrupts the entire giant city, the power of the Blood God faction will inevitably surge!

A population of nearly ten million, a vast amount of resources, a large number of psionicists and legions
This is something that any faction would desire.

Now, the Emperor's Fall has taken its first step; all they need to do is wait.

The immortal faction is in a similar situation, and its chaotic lords have noticed this.

And began to ponder what would happen if the giant city were completely embraced by chaos.

How will the Immortal and Blood God factions divide up the resources and followers of the Great City?

After all, Emperor's Fall is the choice of two gods, so we have to treat them equally, right?
Of course, they didn't know that Li Yelai didn't corrupt Jucheng; on the contrary, Jucheng actively sought this power.

The Jutu, located in South Asia, also received this news from the prince inside the stone statue.

"They've started taking action so quickly?" This made Zhu Tu somewhat suspicious.

Although Chaos's goal was to gradually corrupt the giant city using Emperor's Fallen's champion status, the fact that corruption had already begun so soon after Emperor's Fallen's return from Wanlong Lake seems a bit too efficient.

Of course, he didn't doubt Di Yun's abilities, but he worried that Di Yun's eagerness for quick success might expose him. That would be disastrous. Instead of corrupting the giant city, they'd throw in a chosen one of the two gods, a chosen one of the two gods who would become humanity's champion!
"Don't worry. This is just the beginning, and he must have considered it carefully." The statue laughed.

“He’s too conspicuous. He’s only recently become the champion, he shouldn’t be so impatient.” Zhu Tu said after thinking for a while. “Alright, it’s a good thing for us too. I will send a message to the Asian headquarters and have them allocate the legions to support Emperor’s Fall at any time.”

Meanwhile, on a less-discovered island...

The Asian headquarters of the Immortal Faction, the Chosen Plague God of Immortality, smiled as he issued the order.

"As expected of Emperor Fall, he has dispatched two Plague Knight legions to the branch headquarters in secret, awaiting the orders of the Emperor Fall brothers."

“Calamity, my brother,” Rhodo the Chosen replied, “It seems you weren’t wronged to be beaten by the Emperor’s Fallen brothers.”

This is a joke. Previously, the God of Plague chose someone who said, "Brother, I'm here to help you," and together with Emperor Yun, defeated Gui Zhe Luo Shan Gong. Afterwards, he even fought with Emperor Yun and put on a show.

"He's really strong. In a battle against someone of the same level, I'm at the Divine Favor level. Yet, without using the power of the Plague Father or the Blood God, he's been able to tear my flesh apart time and time again. That feeling... was truly exhilarating. Once he returns to Chaos, his status will undoubtedly be above yours and mine." Plague chuckled. His quirks were indeed somewhat strange.
"I really look forward to seeing what kind of expression the Giant City will have when it discovers that the human champion is the Chosen of Chaos."

Meanwhile, Baiya and the others in the giant city were extremely excited after learning about the news of the main headquarters.

"Lord Emperor's sacrifice seems to have succeeded! Could it be that the strongest captain has been purified? Or perhaps a member of the champion team?"

The church leaders' first reaction was to think of the dolls and the champion team.

After all, they had spent a lot of time with Lord Emperor Yun.

Bai Ya was somewhat displeased by these words, but he did not refute them. Instead, he said, "Lord Di Yun has sacrificed too much for the church. But all sacrifices are rewarded. At this time, we cannot hold Lord Di Yun back. Let's not cause any trouble and follow his arrangements."

"Yes!" the senior executives responded excitedly. They had followed Li Ye to the giant city, and now that their grand undertaking was showing promise, they were naturally even more cautious as well as they were thrilled.

"It won't be long, just look forward to it," Yu Mian said with a smile. He looked forward to that day when he could fight alongside Lord Di Yun.

Three days after the contract was signed, Li Yelai received a message secretly sent by the Chaos Faction.

He gained command of two Blood God Legions and two Immortal Legions, all of which were elite forces, with a high proportion of vampires and plague knights.

These four legions awaited Li Yelai's orders within the branch headquarters.

In addition, there was the crippled legion that Li Yelai originally possessed.

Li Yelai now possesses the power to defeat five legions!
"Have you sensed the power of chaos spreading again within the giant city?" Li Yelai sneered inwardly, folding the crumpled paper in his hand back up, the message inside vanishing instantly.

He knew that this action would inevitably be noticed by Chaos.

Since the last purge of the church's branches, coupled with the siege on the battlefield of the Celestial Palace, the church's power within the giant city has been severely weakened. Now, with the spread of the Chaos Pact, it will naturally attract the attention of Chaos itself.

Each faction dispatched two legions to assist, as preparations were made for Li Yelai's plan to corrupt the megacity.

Unfortunately, they were wrong.
After destroying the paper ball, Li Yelai immediately rushed outside the city.

Today is the day that Doll, Little Mad King, Ma Hongyi, and the others will set off for Wanlong Lake. (End of Chapter)
