'Moyuan Mountain intends to attack the Bashu Mountain City'

After obtaining this information, Li Yelai immediately wrote down the answer he wanted on a piece of paper.

And when he went out to patrol, he casually threw it into a trash can on a street.

That was the channel through which the Chaos forces contacted Li Yelai. Before long, the detailed information about this intelligence would be delivered to Li Yelai by the Chaos's moles.

At the same time, Li Yelai secretly informed Yin Huo and high-ranking officials.

The top brass of the giant city were also extremely surprised by this intelligence.

Today, the mountain city of Bashu hosts powerful human teams from more than ten giant cities, with over fifty psionic families participating.

It can be said that this is the peak of the military strength of the Bashu mountain city.

Border City No. 3: High-level combat power, one monarch, no supreme beings, four overlords, and seventy-three sixth-awareness great spiritual beings.

Now, in Bashu Mountain City, apart from the absence of a monarch, the number of Supreme Beings, Overlords, and Sixth Awakening Great Spiritual Power Users far exceeds that of Border City No. 3. This is the effect brought about by Wanlong Lake.

As the closest human megacity to Wanlong Lake, it naturally attracts a large number of powerful humans.

Mo Yuanshan deliberately chose this situation to launch an attack on the giant city.

This is a bit too bizarre. What? Has the King of the Penalty Area also developed dementia?
Taking advantage of his older brother's illness to kick him while he's sick is a reasonable move.

Kicking his older brother while he was tired from work was a bit reckless, but also reasonable.

But to kick down the door of your brother's house while he's celebrating the Lunar New Year, with a bunch of muscular relatives and friends sitting there, is just plain stupid!

The high-level council pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Mo Yuanshan had gone mad with. Why choose to start a war when humanity's fighting power was at its peak?
Moreover, humans are different from restricted areas.

The megacity cluster surrounding Bashu Mountain City comprises three megacity cities. If one of these cities is attacked, the other two will undoubtedly provide full support!
The restricted area is different. Although there are three restricted areas there, they are competitors and rarely form alliances.

The teams in the restricted areas are more like hedgehogs huddled together, targeting each other while also watching out for one another.

Mo Yuanshan is attacking Jucheng. Other restricted areas may make some moves, but they will definitely not be the main force!
Their strategy is neither to allow Mount Moyuan to grow stronger and threaten or even devour them, nor to allow Mount Moyuan to be completely destroyed, thus continuing to draw the giant city's attention to a forbidden zone.

For Mo Yuanshan, this would be a thankless task, and might even benefit other forbidden zones.

Is the King of the Penalty Area really suffering from dementia?
The authorities have considered many possibilities, such as a feint attack on Wanlong Lake.

Or are there other, deeper thoughts?

This left the giant city completely baffled.

They discussed it all night but still couldn't figure out why Moyuan Mountain would do such a thing.

However, as a precaution, the third border city dispatched a captain to Bashu Mountain City as quickly as possible to deliver this intelligence.

Whether this intelligence is true or false, at least for now, we can take some precautions.

That afternoon, Li Yelai received detailed intelligence from Chaos's informants.

As a chosen one of the Chaos Gods, Li Yelai possesses extremely high authority, and may not even know certain confidential information of the chosen ones.

However, this kind of information from forbidden zones would not be kept secret from Li Yelai, the chosen one.

That was a corrupted Mo Yuan Mountain Great Spiritualist from the Immortal Faction, who was a lord within the forbidden zone.

The territory is located inland within the restricted area, making the lord a figure of considerable status.

He was also the one who leaked intelligence about the Forbidden Zone: a large number of elite legions were being mobilized, hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Zone human troops were being rapidly armed, and a large number of Forbidden Zone powerhouses were quickly assembling. And he happened to be in charge of logistics for a portion of these legions. It was confirmed; they were definitely going to send troops!

This immediately alerted the lord who had turned to chaos, and he issued a warning to the branches of the immortal faction outside the forbidden zone.

If the Forbidden Zone and the Giant City were to go to war, both sides would have to go all out. Chaos, as a third-party force, would undoubtedly benefit from this conflict. It's a classic case of the snipe and the clam fighting, and the Chaos Church could easily be the fisherman!
Whether it's taking the opportunity to corrupt the people of both sides or plunder resources amidst the chaos, it's a perfect opportunity for Chaos.

Therefore, this intelligence was sent to all the top players, and naturally it also came into the hands of Li Yelai.

The Blood God faction was also greatly shocked upon learning this news.

Baiya, Yumian, and the others eagerly awaited Li Ye's orders, hoping he would give them the thrill of slaughter.

Whether it's a human metropolis or a creature from a forbidden zone, they love war as long as it's a matter of killing, regardless of who the target is.

Li Yelai reassured the Blood God faction, which was filled with fighting spirit, through a secret message, and instructed the Immortal faction to continue to monitor the movements in the forbidden zone.

If Demon Abyss Mountain really makes a move, Li Yelai will indeed lead the Chaos Legion to the Forbidden Zone.

He is the human champion, and in Chaos's view, he has already begun to gradually corrupt the human megacity. It would be a waste to reveal his identity now.

Therefore, there is only one choice!

He will mobilize all the Chaos Legions and invite all the chosen ones of the Immortal and Blood God factions in the Asian region to join him in attacking the forbidden Mo Yuan Mountain!

This is the only option that aligns with the interests of the Chaos faction while preserving Li Yelai's champion status!

However, more intelligence is still needed to corroborate this information.

Nighttime, inside the family apartment.

Li Yelai tossed and turned, restless and uneasy. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. His inspiration seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, and ripples of unease spread throughout his mind.

The girl beside him seemed to have noticed his worry.

Li Yelai felt the warmth of Cheese's breath on the back of his neck. Her slender arms encircled his waist, and the curves of her silk nightgown gently brushed against his back with each breath.

"Don't be impatient. Relax," she whispered, activating her babbling ability.

Like a gentle stream, Li Yelai felt that soft power, as if he were enveloped by a warm tide, which made his tense nerves relax slightly.

But that was all; it couldn't completely quell the agitation in Li Yelai's spiritual perception. This was due to the difference in their levels of understanding.

After swallowing a candy, Cheese said, "You're always like this, always carrying the burden yourself. The situation in the restricted area is unclear, and the human side has a significant advantage. It's much better than the situation we faced at Wanlong Lake. Why are you even more nervous now?"

Cheese's fingertips slowly moved up his spine, finally stopping at his shoulders and neck, gently kneading the tense muscles.

"I don't know, but I'm a little concerned." Li Yelai couldn't quite explain it.

"Don't think about it, you can't change anything now. Get some rest." Cheese gently nibbled his earlobe: "When that bad woman comes back, you won't have much free time."

The next day was also the day of the Ark Gathering this month.

Li Yelai got up early, perhaps due to the unease brought on by the unusual activity in the forbidden zone, which kept him awake all night.

However, as he prepared to head to the safe house to make preparations before entering the ark.

However, a message was received from Wanlong Lake.

The Doll Challenge: Land of Legacy. Successfully clear all ten floors and defeat the final boss, who is the lingering incarnation of Li Yelai.

This caused the powerful humans within Wanlong Lake to cheer.

The doll is the first human powerhouse to break through the entire arena since the development of Wanlong Lake.

On the other hand, it was because the doll defeated the human champion's echoing avatar. This greatly satisfied the human prodigies who had been defeated by the champion's echoing avatar.

Li Yelai, with a lingering echo, overwhelmed the assembled heroes, sending chills down their spines.

They had always considered themselves unmatched among their peers, and even the champion had some doubts.

As a result, before I could even see the person in person, I was obscured by the projection.

Of course, over 99% of people can't even get past the seventh floor, let alone see Li Yelai's projection.

But that doesn't stop them from cricket fighting in private. Making the champions the gatekeepers is rather inconsiderate of the two champions.

It can be said that they have been struggling to win the championship for a long time.

Now that a strong player has emerged who has defeated the champion, they are naturally excited.

However, upon learning that this powerful human was the partner of the ninth champion...

Their expressions were quite complicated.

The message did not specify what the reward for the doll was.

Indeed, the rewards for the tenth floor are very generous, or they could be used as a crucial trump card for humanity, just like the bionic teardrop, so it's best not to reveal them to the public.

Next up was Little Mad King.

She reached the eighth floor, but unfortunately encountered the projection of the old general.

Even with advance intelligence, the outcome would ultimately be mutually destructive. That's where it ends.

Fortunately, she didn't continue to push herself. Otherwise, if she had encountered Yun Yue or the Young Supreme on the ninth floor, she would have been seriously injured, especially the Young Supreme, whose poison could even shatter the earth. Even if she had won, she might not have survived.

It is said that the Little Mad King has received a powerful blessing. However, he only informed his companions and did not reveal it to anyone else.

From Yin Huo, Li Yelai learned about the effects of that protection.

The damage dealt by 'Shadow Blade' is doubled the moment stealth is detected!

For other assassin masters, this blessing is quite useless. If they are discovered, they will suffer critical damage. Wouldn't they have to deliberately be discovered in order to trigger the blessing?

But for Little Mad King, this blessing was too strong.

She landed on a curse on the roulette wheel. The target will inevitably spot her at the moment of the assassination!
Perfect match! Assassinations are guaranteed to be critical hits!
Now, once she becomes the overlord, she might be able to assassinate the overlord of the forbidden zone with a single blow!
Ma Hongyi also reached the eighth level but failed to challenge the ninth. She received some kind of powerful blessing, which was not revealed in the message.

"That's good news," Li Yelai said to Yin Huo. "At least, they've become stronger."

“That’s right, and the Bashu Mountain City is also well-prepared. There are indeed legions being mobilized in the Demon Abyss Mountain,” Yin Huo said. “But the reason is unknown. Perhaps you’ll have to get intelligence from inside the Ark.”

"Mm." Li Yelai nodded.

Then, he and Yin Huo secretly went to the safe house to meet the nun.

Li Yelai changed into the prepared suit.

"By the way, Night General. Now that you've advanced to the sixth level of awakening, are you ready to challenge for a third-ring position?" Yin Huo asked.

“Yes, that’s certainly possible,” Li Yelai replied, putting on the bronze mask.

The seats on the Ark are divided into five types.

Starting from the fourth ring, you can gain partial access to the Ark.

The fourth ring is a storage space, the third ring is a nurturing space, and the second ring allows one to enter the ark with their physical body, which is practically immortality.

The first ring allows you to go anywhere the Ark can reach, and it can also bring the lives of non-Ark voters into the Ark.

This is the permission Chu He desires most. If he obtains the first level of permission, he can lead all his people away from the dangerous, lost land.

Unfortunately, to this day, no one has been able to secure a spot in the first ring.

Now that Li Yelai has advanced to the sixth level of enlightenment, he can try to challenge for a third-ring seat.

The minimum standard for a seat in the Third Ring Road is six senses.

Of course, because of the fear of failing the challenge.

Therefore, voters will not attempt to challenge the leader before he becomes the dominant power.

“Yunyue told me this when we were at Wanlong Lake. We’d find an opportunity to challenge for a spot on the third ring together.”

"That Azure Flame Chosen one... very well. Once you've made your agreement, the Giant City will do its utmost to provide you with assistance," Yin Huo said. "Obtaining a third-ring seat will allow you to create space within the Ark to cultivate spiritual plants, and you can even modify the environment to accelerate their growth. It's incredibly useful."

Li Yelai nodded, and seeing that it was almost time, he sat down in a chair. A spatial fluctuation flickered in his hand, and a ship ticket appeared.

"gone."

As spiritual energy was injected into it, a white light enveloped Li Yelai, and that long-lost feeling of weightlessness returned.

The next second, the white light dissipated, and Li Yelai arrived inside the ark.

Inside the Ark Hall, it remained as magnificent as ever.

Groups of Ark voters gathered together and chatted.

Many people turned their attention to Li Yelai after he entered.

Many people were surprised when they discovered that Li Yelai had advanced to the sixth level of enlightenment.

"Copperface, have you awakened your sixth sense?"

"That's fast, isn't it? I remember you only entered the fifth sense in four or five months."

"Within half a year, he went from the initial stage of the fifth sense to the sixth sense. No wonder he is valued by the holder of the book."

"Just lucky," Li Yelai replied, his gaze immediately turning towards the mural.

The fourth mural is more detailed, but the most striking element is still that splash of bright red.

That's the champion's cape.
Now, the city has two human champions!

This made Li Ye think that the champion in the picture might not necessarily be Captain Yang Chen, but could also be himself.
So, should I, like Captain Yang Chen, stay away from the giant city and avoid triggering such scenes?
Li Yelai pondered for a moment, then looked at the sixth mural. It became increasingly solid, with eerie black shadows appearing beneath the sea surface. Although it was just a painting, Li Yelai could sense a twisted feeling emanating from it.

What made Li Yelai's heart sink was the seventh image.

Yes, the seventh image showed a pattern: a snow-covered mountain. Perhaps the image was too blurry, as there were no human figures in it; it looked more like a landscape painting.

"The fourth and sixth images haven't even been realized yet, and the seventh one is already here? This world is truly full of disasters," one Ark voter lamented.

“It might just be a warning; it could be years, or even decades, before it actually happens,” one voter responded.

"Now, we're actually glad we're the Ark's chosen ones. If the world really does end, at least we'll have a safe haven."

"The prerequisite is that you can survive those calamities and make it to the end!" (End of Chapter)
