Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Survive to the end.
This is also one of the reasons why some Ark voters lack a sense of belonging to the world.

According to the prophecy of the Ark, when the greatest calamity and terror descend, the whole world will experience destruction and rebirth.

And the Ark will, at that time, carry all the Ark voters to the newborn world.

All the voters who boarded the ark became the spark that carried the old world toward the world.

Not only can they survive the greatest calamities, but they can also become the architects of a new order, or even the gods of the new world, in a new world where technology and psychic energy are completely disconnected!
The Ark's intentions are evident from the seating arrangements available to them. Reserve space, nurturing space, physical entry into the Ark, selection of passengers, and boarding locations... these are all resources that allow them to survive the calamity and rapidly rise and develop in the new world.

Therefore, many Ark voters, in order to strengthen themselves and better survive until after the disaster,

They would not hesitate to cooperate with other races to gain greater benefits, even if those benefits harmed their own race.

The deceased Jin Jia, Ming Xing, Lang Tu, and others were this type of Ark voters.

They have no sense of belonging to humanity; they only want to become stronger so they can survive the final calamity. They will stop at nothing to cooperate with forbidden zones and chaos, as long as there is profit to be made.

Therefore, the 'Fantasy Band' project was planned, resulting in a large number of casualties.

People like them are incapable of understanding the courage of fellow humans. Nor can they comprehend the immense glory of human warriors!
However, they ultimately underestimated the city's determination to seek revenge.

All five members who participated in the 'Fantasy Band' back then have passed away.

Golden Armor was charred by Moon Shadow, Black Umbrella and Wolf Map died at the hands of Li Yelai, Star died at the hands of Wanderer Zhang Zhong, and Phantom died at the hands of Little Mad King.

Only the initiator of the mission remains, the Supreme Being located in Black Source City, Jinshan!
When the Great City launches its war against Black Source City, this guy will also be killed.

Li Yelai thought to himself.

Then they saw a flash of white light in the distance, and Jing Lin emerged from it. The two exchanged a glance, but without responding, returned to their respective seats.

Subsequently, more and more Ark voters arrived.

Chuhe, Liming, Jinshan, Shusheng, and other powerful members of the Ark also arrived at the Ark one after another.

Li Yelai noticed that the number of voters at this Ark rally seemed to be much larger, with nearly two hundred people.
It seems that new Ark voters have entered the Ark.

It's unknown how many of them were people arranged by Jucheng.

As the last person holding the book entered the ark, the gathering began.

Li Yelai looked at the person holding the book in the second-ring seat and tried hard to suppress the anger and resentment in his heart.

If it weren't for the ability of the Whispering Path and the drugs that forcibly suppressed his emotions before he stepped into this place.

At this moment, Li Ye was about to suddenly attack and kill someone.

The book holder. All his misfortunes stemmed from this bastard!
A surge of overwhelming hatred welled up in Li Yelai's heart.

The father should have returned safely, but due to the scheming of the book's owner, he was left forever in the snow-capped mountains.

The mother passed away amidst endless waiting and despair, her eyes still filled with unfulfilled hope until her last breath.

All of this is thanks to him! That beast who manipulates fate!
Li Yelai took a deep breath, forcing himself to look away and gaze into the distance. He couldn't lose control here; he couldn't let his anger be exposed to everyone.

“He who holds the book, the seventh painting has appeared,” a voter said.

“I understand your eagerness, but let’s follow the old rules and begin the explanation after all your transactions and information sharing are completed,” the book holder said calmly. “So as not to disturb this gathering.”

He always liked to reveal information last, leaving new Ark voters confused, while the old Ark voters were used to it.

Therefore, after the rally began, it was time for the voters from all sides to make deals.

Li Yelai first approached Chu He: "Lord Chu He, your order has been completed."

The so-called orders are, of course, mimicking the heavenly soldiers.

Last month, although Li Yelai was not in Jucheng, Li Yunyan was extremely focused on forging celestial weapons, and her luck was indeed quite good. She had already helped Chu He forge a batch of simulated celestial weapons early on.

This is now Chuhe's third order. The mimicry of celestial soldiers is incredibly useful for the humans in the lost lands.

“Very good, bronze mask.” Chu He laughed from under his animal skin cloak, then said, “Take it out, it’ll save us the trouble of going into the hidden space.”

This was actually Chu He's deliberate act, an attempt to advertise Li Yelai to the voters of Ark.

Now that the Black Umbrella, who could create summoned creatures, is dead, the Copper Mask, who could create mimicry of celestial soldiers, should take its place.

Li Yelai naturally understood his meaning. His hand flickered with spatial energy as he took out a wooden box filled with golden peas.

The next second, the wooden box appeared in Chu He's hand.

Chuhe grabbed a dozen or so peas from the wooden box and scattered them casually.

Then fifteen golden-armored heavenly soldiers appeared.

The strength of the heavenly soldiers varied; some had only five senses, while others had six. One of the heavenly soldiers, whose entire body shone with golden light, even possessed divinity.

This caught the eye of many Ark voters.

Divinity!
Only a Great Psionicist can refine a high concentration of power after advancing to the Overlord level.

For psychic powers, divinity is overwhelmingly powerful. Without divine abominations, even powerful psychics would find it difficult to harm a dominant being.

This is a qualitative change in power.

Now, the appearance of a mimicking celestial soldier with divine abilities has stirred the interest of many hesitant Ark voters.

If one possessed a divine mimicry celestial soldier, it could at least inflict some damage on a hegemon. It would also provide a significant advantage against a sixth-level spiritual power user.

Of course, this was intentional on Chu He's part; among the golden peas in that wooden box, only one possessed divinity.

He deliberately singled him out to show off.

"Not bad, we've had some good luck this time. We have divine celestial soldiers." Chu He smiled as he recalled the celestial soldiers and said to Li Ye, "I'll come back to trade with you after I gather my next batch of supplies. You know where I am, we desperately need this kind of combat power."

“Of course.” Li Yelai nodded.

After this incident, many Ark voters contacted Li Yelai to inquire about the requirements for creating the Mimicry Heavenly Soldiers and Li Yelai's reward.

The creatures in the forbidden zone simply snorted coldly.

The Mimicry Celestial Soldiers cannot be used by any creature other than humans, which eliminates the possibility of their trade and effectively prevents them from entering the restricted area.

The mimicry soldiers also have racial fastidiousness; they cannot be commanded by anyone who is not a pure human.

Red Peach, who had previously traded with Li Yelai, approached him and signed an order.

She offered ten Sealed Thunder Ore Crystals as payment, along with the remains of some extraordinary creatures and spiritual plants. She demanded that Li Yelai bring back at least fifty Mimic Heavenly Soldiers. Li Yelai calculated the contents of the remains and spiritual plants.

This quantity is enough to refine ten batches, with each batch producing six to eight mimicking celestial soldiers.

Even if Li Yelai refines it himself, he'll still make a profit in terms of quantity. Plus the reward of ten Sealed Thunder Ore Crystals, it's a sure thing.

This is a monopoly, and the Ark voters are well aware of it. But with Li Yelai as the only channel, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and make the deal.

Subsequently, two more Ark voters placed orders, but in small quantities, presumably to test the waters first.

Seeing Li Yelai making deals with several Ark voters, the other Ark voters had different thoughts.

In their view, copper-plated surfaces are developing too fast!

He has already demonstrated powerful psychic talent, enabling him to quickly enter the sixth level of enlightenment. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Soldier Furnace, a powerful weapon, is continuously forging simulated heavenly soldiers for him.

As a force, the organization he belongs to has great potential.
We need to pay more attention to the copper surface.
After Li Yelai finished his transaction with the others, Jin Shan, who was seated in the second ring, spoke up: "Congratulations, Bronze Face. After advancing to the sixth level of awakening, you are no longer a nobody, whether in the human realm or the forbidden zone."

"You flatter me, Lord Jinshan. There are many powerful spiritualists, both among humans and in forbidden zones. I am far from being one of them. And I will never forget your support," Li Yelai replied.

"With your current strength, I can guarantee you'll become a lord once you enter the forbidden zone," Jinshan replied. "If you're ever forced to, come and join me. This applies to everyone. Black Source City welcomes all powerful individuals."

Wow, is this an olive branch being extended? Did they sense Copperface's psionic talent and the strength of the mimicry celestial soldiers?

Some Ark voters were interested, while many others scoffed.

Li Yelai nodded slightly, displaying humility: "Thank you, sir. If I have the opportunity, I will certainly seek you out."

"Yes, I look forward to our encounter in the physical world." Jinshan chuckled. He hadn't expected Copperface to develop so rapidly. This was indeed a good thing for him. Whether joining the forbidden zone or gathering intelligence within the human megacity, it was all beneficial to him.

Jin Shan, of course, was unaware that Li Yelai was adding in his mind: 'I will naturally come to see you, with a thousand troops!'

According to future intelligence, Black Source City will recover within two years.

Before that, the giant city will completely eradicate Black Source City.

They will indeed meet again. On the battlefield, they will let this supreme being of the forbidden zone witness the boundless glory of humanity!

Then, surprisingly...

The book-holder, who had remained silent until now, spoke up: "Copperface, let's keep to ourselves."

“Of course,” Li Yelai replied, “Your Excellency, the one who holds the book.”

Upon entering the hidden space, the one holding the book spoke first: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Emperor Yun. It seems our deal cannot proceed."

"Oh? You think that once Ye becomes the champion, I won't be able to kill him?" Li Yelai sneered, his killing intent surging. "Who are you underestimating?"

The holder of the book knew that he was chosen by the Blood God.

To the point that he could no longer suppress his bloodlust. He truly wanted to kill the book's keeper!
Sensing Li Yelai's killing intent, the book holder didn't seem to care, even though it was indeed somewhat humiliating for the Blood God's chosen ones.

"Please be patient, Your Majesty Emperor. I know your strength better than anyone else," the book-holder said. "But the human champion has his own destiny. Even if we are to take action, we must wait for the right opportunity."

“The time is not right yet. Therefore, I intend to cancel this commission,” the book holder said. “Of course, you don’t need to return the deposit to me.”

"You're quite magnanimous," Li Yelai sneered.

"Hopefully this can appease His Majesty the Emperor's anger," the book holder replied. "Moreover, you might not even need to lift a finger; the champion will die on his own."

"What do you mean?" This really surprised Li Ye.

You idiot, letting 'Emperor's Fall' kill 'Champion' was stupid enough.

Now, they're actually saying the champion will die?
'What? You're manipulating fate to make the King of the Forbidden Zone rush out and slap me to death?' Li Yelai thought to himself.

The person holding the book did not speak again, but left the hidden space.

For the next half hour or so, each voter made deals or assigned tasks, and then the exchange ended.

This marks the beginning of the intelligence-sharing phase.

The first thing announced was, of course, the emergence of the ninth human champion!
The former champion, Night General, killed the Chaos Chosen of the Bliss faction at Wanlong Lake, liberating Wanlong Lake and becoming the ninth champion!
Humanity now has two champions!

Among the voters, some were excited, some were indifferent, some were disdainful, and naturally, some were hateful.

Secondly, there was the liberation of Wanlong Lake. That was a rich legacy from the Ming and Xia civilizations.

The strongest individuals from the human metropolis can go there to take on the challenge.

As a result, powerful human beings from all walks of life rushed to Wanlong Lake, and even the Ark voters in Western Europe learned of this news.

This news is clearly more noteworthy than the previous one.

"If you have the ability, you should go to Wanlong Lake. The legacy of the Mingxia civilization is extremely rich. If you are strong enough, you might even get beaten up by the champion in the ruins before you leave."

"They really have no sense of public morality. There are only two levels of challenges: Sixth Awakening and Overlord. The bosses guarding the gates are projections of the eighth and ninth generation champions, respectively. I wonder if anyone has broken the record yet."

"The human champion is truly selfless, willing to share the site of their legacy with outsiders."

Some Ark voters started chatting with great interest. They were human, and as long as they had legal status, they could also go to Wanlong Lake to take on the challenge. Some had even already been there.

This also caused those in restricted areas among the voters to scoff.

Wanlong Lake is open to humans, so creatures from restricted areas have no place there.

Others spoke up: "Night General, back then, he was just a nobody discovered by Black Umbrella by accident. Now Black Umbrella is dead, yet he's become the human champion in just a few years?"

"We have witnessed the growth of the ninth generation of champions step by step."

"Holder of the book, was the rise of the ninth champion also part of your calculations?"

The person holding the book did not respond and remained silent.

The holder of the book did not speak again until all the information had been shared.

"The seventh image is related to the River Styx."

The River Styx? The Horn of the Styx?
Many Ark voters frowned: "Styx.18 Disaster Fog?"

"The No. 18 Disaster Fog? Wasn't that already taken down? It was taken down by three giant cities and nearly ten powerful families working together."

"A number of forbidden items and secret treasures were also discovered. I suspect that the true form of the Black Umbrella originated from within the No. 18 Disaster Fog."

"Indeed, the Fog of Calamity No. 18 has been conquered," the book-holder said. "But when frost covers the earth and freezes the ocean, the River Styx will return." (End of Chapter)
