Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The city's high walls were violently breached, and the terrifying ripples that erupted shook the entire city.

Even the dolls in mid-air were affected. They were knocked down by the massive impact.

In the instant of its fall, the doll seemed to hear a cold laugh from the depths of its consciousness.

'One king has rendered you so wretched; if we were one, it would have no choice but to bow down and submit!'

'Give up the resistance, accept everything I have!'

'Reach the summit today!'

That was clearly the doll's own voice, yet it sounded arrogant and cold at that moment. The voice echoed in her mind.

At the same time, her well of souls was expanding, and her terrifying talent was causing her psychic power to increase rapidly.

It was as if it wanted her to quickly step into that higher level. Before her consciousness was awakened, the doll would hear that seductive voice after each advancement.

Now that consciousness has awakened, its power will be even stronger once it advances to the level of overlord!
It might even directly affect the doll's thinking.

The falling doll abandoned all other actions, focusing all its attention on the Well of Souls, desperately suppressing its talent!
If this got out, the geniuses would probably curse Versailles, who are afraid of being stuck at a certain level because they don't have enough talent, but the puppet complains that its talent is too strong.

But she was indeed afraid of this once extraordinary talent, so she dared not be distracted at all now.

Even if you are hundreds of meters in the air and falling rapidly.

She had indeed prepared for the worst. Otherwise, that absurd night wouldn't have happened.

But if it is possible.

She wanted that day to come later, much later.
She didn't want to be separated from her lover and companions; she still cherished the world.

However, the expected fall did not occur; an arm from the shadows caught her as she fell.

Little Mad King spotted the doll earlier and hugged her from behind, gently bringing her back to the ground.

At the same time, Little Mad King's voice rang in my ears: "Don't get distracted, continue to suppress him!"

The doctor who arrived quickly took out a vial from an iron box, felt it on the doll's arm for a moment, and then precisely injected the vial into the doll's vein through its clothing.

That was a specially developed psychic energy suppression potion, mixed with some of the blood of those who had lost their psychic powers.

It can, to some extent, suppress the doll's spiritual energy enhancement. It only helps her get past this critical point of impending advancement.

As the potion was injected into its body, the doll's suppressed well of souls returned to normal, and the voice deep within its consciousness disappeared after a cold laugh.

From within the helmet came the doll's weary panting. A curse of fear then bloomed, causing the Little Mad King and the Plague Doctor's expressions to change slightly.

Both of them forced themselves to stay put despite their physical fear.

Then, the doll raised its hand, and the sand on the ground moved, transforming into words.

'It's alright'

Perhaps due to exhaustion, not even an emoticon appeared this time.

"Your talent is too strong. Even if you don't want to, every battle is an improvement for you." The Plague Doctor breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the collapsed high wall. The collapse of the city's high wall was indeed shocking and infuriating, but after a brief moment of shock, the human powerhouses were quickly gathering and guarding the breach in the wall.

The spear is indeed terrifying. If it were to pierce through the high walls and continue to wreak havoc, traversing the mountain city of Bashu, it would surely bring millions, or even more, casualties to the giant city!
Thanks to the efforts of the powerful humans, the spear did not penetrate the giant city; it merely shattered the high walls.

This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

If the restricted area thinks that it can defeat the human city by breaking through the high walls, then it is too naive!
The legions in the penalty area simply cannot get close to the high wall!
They will face the wrath of countless powerful human beings!

Watching this scene, the Plague Doctor said in a low voice, "Let's try to avoid bloody battles from now on. There are so many heroes in the world; there's no need for you to be on the front lines. For now, let's keep things in the rear until we find a way to deal with that thing."

Little Mad King nodded slightly; the doll's current condition was indeed unsuitable for continuing the bloody battle.

Especially when human reinforcements will arrive soon.

If possible, the dolls should rest in the rear to avoid entering the front line of battle.

At this moment, everyone noticed that the battle in the sky suddenly stopped, and the giant claw from the forbidden zone suddenly disappeared.

The war between kings that had just broken out seemed to have ended with the attack of the spears.

This caught the human warriors, who were tense about the battle for the throne, off guard.

"The Abyss King has retreated?"

"Although the King of the Forbidden Zone has made his move, we also have a King! We even possess a Supreme-level Divine Abyss!"

"And that spear in the restricted area did not harm the king, nor did it severely damage the city; it merely blasted down the high walls."

"Our original plan was to use a feint to severely damage the city and kill our comrades! But despite our efforts, we only managed to break through the high walls. Should we give up now?"

"Don't lose face! The high wall is breached! The restricted area will definitely intensify its attack!"

As the voices rang out, the human legions and psionicists dared not relax and continued to hold the line.

However, the anticipated onslaught did not materialize.

Conversely, the main force from the restricted area suddenly began to retreat, even abandoning the positions they had captured at great cost.

This surprised the human powerhouses. What? The feint attack failed, so the restricted area gave up the attack?

They even abandoned the defensive lines they had originally captured? They had sacrificed tens of thousands of elite units to fight for those lines! And they just gave them up like that?
The commanders in the mountain city were incredulous, completely failing to understand the tactical thinking behind the restricted area.

Could it be that Demon Abyss Mountain merely wants to break down the high wall? Is it willing to pay such a high price to achieve this tactical objective?

The powerful humans were extremely puzzled.

The dolls and others were naturally confused, but the dolls, exhausted both physically and mentally, had no energy to think about it.

With the help of the plague doctor and the little mad king, he headed to the processing department within the giant city.

However, she suddenly noticed that a thin layer of mist was spreading in the air.
Meanwhile, inside Demon Abyss Mountain, a Supreme Being inquired, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly attack and then withdraw?"

"The timing of using the Peak Spear was also wrong. Shouldn't we have waited until our legions had pushed close to the giant city before using it?"

"Now, we have not only lost Peak Spear, but also abandoned the defensive line we worked so hard to build. Why suddenly order the legion to retreat, and even take a detour back?"

"What exactly do you want?" However, the Supreme One fell silent the next moment.

Because he saw something emanating from the depths of that dark abyss.
“This is truly insane, My King,” the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone said slowly. “Is this your true purpose?”

"What you want is not war, no, the legions and people you have sacrificed in your war were all for this one purpose! This one outcome!"

"Destroy the city's high walls and shatter their fog defense array!"

The Abyss King let out a low laugh: "Sacrificing several of our legions, allowing chaos to ravage our territory."

"At these costs, exchanging humanity's most elite talents for these various prodigies is a sure win!"

He naturally knew the situation regarding the mysterious disappearances of people within Demon Abyss Mountain, and he also knew what was hidden beneath the dark abyss!
That was the No. 49 Disaster Fog that brought down the champion and gave birth to countless fears!
Unlike other disaster fogs, it possesses extremely high intelligence and can even cooperate with itself.

To achieve this, the Abyss King threw all the prisoners, spies, and rebels within the forbidden zone into the dark abyss!

They will breed even more and stronger demons within the fog of disaster!

What Moyuan Mountain needs to do is to feed it while simultaneously prying open the gates of the giant city for it!
Humanity gathered together because of Wanlong Lake, making the mountain city of Bashu unprecedentedly powerful.

That's exactly what he wanted!
Come on, everyone's drawn here!
Humanity's heroes, its proudest talents! They've all been drawn here by the war!
You will all become nourishment for the disaster fog!

The No. 49 fog, which has swallowed millions of people, can no longer be suppressed!

Thus, the mountain city of Bashu was removed from the list, and a human prodigy fell!
Without the constraint of one giant city, the remaining two giant cities of humanity could no longer maintain their balance.

The three forbidden zones will devour the two giant cities, thus completely destroying the delicate balance between humanity and the forbidden zones.
The era of the restricted area has arrived!
Meanwhile, the human legion at the forefront vigilantly observed the battlefield, quickly inspecting and retaking the defensive lines abandoned by the Forbidden Zone Legion.

They gradually rebuilt their defenses and advanced deeper into the battlefield.

Both the restricted area and the human legion paid a heavy price in their struggle to seize this defensive line.

The soil beneath their feet was soaked with the blood and flesh of both sides' warriors, and now that the defensive line had been recaptured, the human soldiers felt a sense of unreality.

Major General Zheng Wei, who was leading this legion, looked at the enemy with shock and confusion as they dropped their weapons and equipment.

"Earth-shaking heavy artillery? They've abandoned this deadly weapon?" Major General Zheng Wei exclaimed in astonishment.

This is a forbidden zone artillery piece, even more powerful than a plasma cannon, designed to target psionic units. Many powerful human warriors have been injured by this weapon.

In the past, to prevent humans from stealing their technology, such weapons would be destroyed immediately, even if they couldn't be taken away.

Now, they're left intact on the battlefield, not even in time to be destroyed? Is this truly a complete rout?
After pondering for a moment, Major General Zheng Wei asked the military psionicist again, "Are there any traps nearby? Or any strange psionic fluctuations?"

“We’ve checked three times already, and there’s nothing unusual. At one point, the enemy legion abandoned all their supplies and heavy weapons and quickly left the position,” the military psionicist responded.

"It's strange. They paid the price of three legions for this position, and then just handed it over to us, leaving behind all this heavy weaponry. Why did they switch to being a gold digger?" Major General Zheng Wei pondered. He then asked, "What information has the pursuit team sent?"

“Not yet,” the military psionicist frowned, then looked outside the position.

He had indeed not received any signal from the pursuit team. Had something happened to the military psionicists in the pursuit team?

At that moment, a furious roar rang out from the void: "All of them!"

That was the voice of a human king, shaking the entire virtual realm. But the voice abruptly stopped, leaving the human warriors stunned and on high alert, making them even more cautious in observing their surroundings.

The military psionicist suddenly felt his vision blur and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

But my vision became even more blurry. No, it wasn't that my eyes were blurry. Rather, a thin mist had appeared on the battlefield at some unknown time.

In that instant, the psionicist was struck by lightning.

High walls, mist.
Disaster Fog Defense Array, and Disaster Fog!

Damn it, is this what this battle in the restricted area was all for?
The military psionicist disregarded everything and unleashed all his psionic power, roaring within the illusory realm!

"Disaster fog!"

That was his roar at full power, the sound spreading rapidly throughout the virtual realm.

However, it was all too late.
It was mist rising from beneath the ground. At first, the mist was so thin it was almost imperceptible. But soon, it spread at an astonishing speed, enveloping the entire battlefield!
Or rather, the moment the city's high walls crumbled, the calamity fog had already launched its attack.

By the time humans realized it, it was already too late.

Who would have thought that the restricted area could cooperate with the fog, which is considered a natural disaster?

Some powerful humans were shocked and enraged, frantically attempting to increase their height by performing aerial steps, but they disappeared into the mist in the next second.

Human legions scattered and fled, but silence fell instantly, and the battlefield turned into a deathly stillness.

It's all too late.
The fog spread far faster than humans imagined.

Within seconds, the entire battlefield was swallowed by thick fog. The shouts of powerful humans and the fluctuations of psionic energy gradually disappeared in the fog, as if completely isolated by some force.

As the fog around them gradually thickened, the Little Mad King and the Plague Doctor had complicated expressions.

As members of Border City No. 3 who had experienced the No. 71 Disaster Fog, they naturally knew what the fog in front of them was.

Even in the virtual realm, a shadow loomed over them.

The doll stood between the two people, its vision blurred by the fog.

A profound sense of loss and grievance welled up within her, as if something important was slipping silently through her fingers. A familiar figure surfaced in her mind.
'I want to see you again, Xiaoye,' she murmured in her heart, filled with endless longing and reluctance.

'But we can't see each other again. Please, don't come any closer.'

The fog grew thicker, as if it would engulf her thoughts as well. She reached out, trying to grasp something, but only touched nothingness.

In a corner of the world, inside the base of the Celestial Walkers.

A traveler reported: "The 49th calamity fog has arrived, and the elite humans drawn to Wanlong Lake have been completely devoured. Including that Queen of Fear. The future emperor."

"All of this is because of unforeseen circumstances!" another traveler said. "If unforeseen circumstances hadn't led to the early liberation of Wanlong Lake, why would the powerful humans have gone there to challenge the Mingxia legacy and been drawn into the war? If not for that, why would they have been swallowed by the calamity fog?"

"Unexpected events have altered the fates of too many people; this is the greatest calamity in the world!"

"Alright," said the one holding the book. "What we need to do is not complain, but try our best to salvage the situation. At least, we've stopped those powerful figures who will be important in the future. That's a silver lining in this misfortune." (End of Chapter)
