Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Now that things have come to this, Li Yelai has no choice but to consider using his ultimate trump card.

Mr. Shadow still has two chains on him. Theoretically, there are two more opportunities for the transaction.

However, if we want to prevent him from completely breaking free of his restraints, we must leave one last chain as a precaution.

Both Li Yelai and Li Qiong, who was briefly revived, analyzed it in this way.

No one knows what will happen after Mr. Shadow removes all restrictions.

Therefore, Li Yelai will have at most one opportunity to make a deal.

Li Yelai originally intended to save this deal for the battle against Black Source City more than a year later.

Once the forbidden zone of Black Origin City was destroyed, the pressure on the human side was greatly reduced.

Li Yelai himself may already be a hegemon, or even a supreme being.

Then the last transaction won't be used.

The safety of Mr. Shadow will continue to be bound deep within his own consciousness.

But now, he has to make the worst-case scenario plan for using this opportunity!

Of course, he had many other methods to try before that.

After Wanlong Lake, Li Yelai obtained two Chaos Sacred Artifacts from the Blissful Faction. As the Chosen One of the Blissful Gods, he could also summon projections of Chaos Powers!
Not only that, he also needs the assistance of more forbidden items. The lucky wheel is on his side, and the Möbius strip might be used for decapitation. Li Yelai needs all these powerful forbidden items!
Presumably, the official team will consider and prepare for Li Yelai, and Jing Lin only needs to send them to Li Yelai.

"Also, Tai Chi: Yin and Yang. I need that too," Li Yelai reminded him.

"Damn it! You're insane." Jing Lin's seat was right next to Li Yelai's. He stood up and looked down at Li Yelai.

"You really think you're invincible? You're not even a hegemon! And even supreme beings dare not easily venture into this kind of calamity fog!"

"Because of her? You acted rashly for the sake of a woman, and there's a high probability you'll die inside! What about your family? What about your partner? Will she die with you? Or will she watch you die from outside the fog of disaster?"

"Don't be foolish, brother! This situation is beyond repair!"

Jing Lin didn't mean to undermine Li Yelai's confidence, but he genuinely didn't want Li Yelai to enter Disaster Fog No. 49.

He wouldn't have panicked so much if it were a previous disaster fog strategy, or even if he were facing the swarm of killing insects from Disaster Fog No. 71 again.

But the Fog of Calamity No. 49 is far too dangerous, containing millions of people, including some humans and creatures from the Forbidden Zone. The number of monstrous demons within the Fog is likely even greater!

In such a situation, even the emperor is not safe, let alone Li Yelai.

He specifically mentioned cheese, hoping that Li Ye would consider it more.

He truly didn't want to lose Li Yelai as a brother. Although he wanted to see rivers of blood, he didn't want this kind of bloodshed.

Li Yelai responded after a moment of silence: "I understand, thank you."

"Damn it, you'll regret this! You'll absolutely regret this!" Jing Lin cursed Li Yelai. After dropping off a box of simulated celestial soldiers, he turned and left the ark, informing the officials of the giant city in Border City No. 3 of all the intelligence he had gathered.

A few minutes after Jing Lin left, he returned to the ark: "Wait here. I'll call you when I need to."

"Thank you." Li Yelai nodded.

Chu He said, "Your attitude is very firm, so I won't try to persuade you. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"If possible, I'd like the Seventh Awakening Potion variant recipe for my path. I might be trapped for a very, very long time, so I plan to prepare the potion first," Li Yelai said. The scale of this calamity fog would likely take a very, very long time to process.

Li Yelai was prepared to stay in the disaster fog for half a year, so he had to prepare magic potions in advance.

“Sure, give me the original recipe for the potion you want, and I’ll try to find a suitable variant,” Chu He said.

He obtained a mysterious stone tablet in the lost land.

Whenever a potion recipe is offered, the stone tablet will provide a recipe for a variant of it.

The cooling-off period is about half a month.

The reason Li Yelai's mimicry dragon soul could transform into the mimicry Divine Treasure Dragon Soul was because Chu He told him about a variant of the formula.

The official team has collaborated with Chuhe many times, obtaining numerous variant formulas.

Li Yelai immediately produced a parchment. As the leader of the Six Awakenings Myriad Manifestations Path, he had already obtained the Seven Awakenings recipe from the official sources; after all, he had enough merit points. There was no need for a lengthy preparation period.

“Okay, I’ll send it back for calculations first,” Chu He said, then left the ark. A dozen seconds later, he returned: “It might take some time, at the latest twelve hours!”

"Thank you," Li Yelai nodded, then looked at Yun Yue: "You said that lord encountered the No. 49 disaster fog, do you have any suggestions?"

This was indeed an unexpected surprise. The Lord of Azure Flame had actually made contact with the No. 49 Calamity Mist. Was it in another world?

Has this kind of calamity fog appeared in other worlds as well?
"I can't offer much advice. I only know from some knowledge gained from the blessing that the calamity is very similar to No. 49." Yunyue replied after thinking for a moment: "First of all, what needs to be done is to change the direction of your fear."

"If you have enough powerful psychic path users to hypnotize everyone, or use some forbidden objects to temporarily fix everyone's fears into something easily destroyed, or even something that will soon self-destruct, then the calamity fog will pose no danger to you."

Li Yelai nodded silently.

This is indeed one method; the terrors vary in strength. This relates to what the devoured wise spirits fear.

If someone is afraid of certain short-lived insects, although their reproductive capacity makes complete eradication difficult, they pose no danger to humans who are eaten by them.

Psionicists can even eliminate them immediately after they appear by altering the weather or temperature.

Then the No. 49 disaster fog would pose no threat whatsoever.

But the event happened so suddenly that it was too late for the millions who had already been devoured. Their monstrous demons were estimated to have already taken shape and had even begun fighting against the humans within the calamity fog.

However, as a support team, this method can effectively alleviate the pressure from the disaster fog.

At least, the support teams entering the disaster fog will not create dangerous monstrous creatures.

"Secondly, there's the struggle between the demons. Perhaps it'll allow those with certain fears to enter the calamity fog," Yunyue said again.

This surprised Li Ye: "You mean, use the Terror Demon to fight the Terror Demon?"

"Quick reaction," Chu He said. "You should know that Terror Demons have an extreme aversion and hatred for intelligent beings, especially their creators. But they also fight among themselves. If conditions permit, it's entirely possible to raise 'gu' among the Terror Demons." "For example, a being from a forbidden zone who was once banished by a champion. His Terror Demon is very likely that champion. If that champion appears in the form of a Terror Demon, although he is hostile to intelligent beings, he will still attack you. But the same goes for other Terror Demons. There's a high probability that he will eliminate the other Terror Demons first, so let them fight each other and weaken each other!"

"That's certainly a method," Jing Lin clicked his tongue. "If it's executed properly, the humans can just stand by and watch the demon dogs fight each other, right?"

Li Yelai nodded in agreement. If a chaotic unit appeared among the demons, that would be even better. As the chosen one, Li Yelai might be able to order it to commit suicide.

Especially those swarms of savage insects, which are hostile to all organic matter. They might attack humans while simultaneously attacking other terrifying demons.

"But if a powerful unit emerges among the Terror Demons that can unite other Terror Demons and suppress the conflicts between them, then this method won't work," Yunyue cautioned. "There are advantages and disadvantages, aren't there?"

Li Yelai nodded, indicating his understanding. If such a being were to appear among the terrifying demons, it would indeed be a disaster for humanity.

However, these are all points that can be utilized.

“I have no right to influence your decision, but if you insist on doing so, I hope that in your desperate resistance you can gain the attention of our lord.” Yunyue said to Li Yelai, “If I can get there in time, I will gather my companions to try to assist you.”

"Okay, thank you." Li Yelai nodded.

"Then let's focus on the other details for now," Chu He said. "Once you enter the fog of disaster, you will no longer be able to contact us. Although the Ark's storage space can still be used, it will be unable to transmit supplies from the outside world."

"Therefore, you need to prepare enough food and medicine. There are many types of famine, and if someone fears famine, it may materialize. The same goes for plagues and viruses. You need to prepare in advance."

Li Yelai nodded: "I have thought about that. The disaster fog allows entry but not exit. But distributing food and medicine should still be possible. What we need to do is determine the distribution locations."

For this reason, Li Yelai needs the forbidden item Tai Chi Yin and Yang.

These two forbidden objects can disregard the obstruction of the disaster fog and vibrate at a certain frequency, thereby transmitting vague information.

Li Yelai intended to use it as a call button to summon external bombing, call for airdropped supplies, or even directly call for a long-range attack from the monarch!
Sword King can attack from outside the fog of disaster, even if it's inside.

“I see. But we still have to be careful. There might be Terror Demons that can mimic the methods of forbidden objects.” Yun Yue warned, “When there are enough Terror Demons, anything can happen. After all, psionicists are knowledgeable and their fears can be incredibly varied. You might even see the Chaos Prince in the Disaster Fog.”

"Is it possible for a Chaos God to appear?" Li Yelai asked after pondering.

If Blood River and Plague Father also appear as terrifying demons, then that would be too hopeless.

"It's unlikely. The Chaos Gods, including our Lord, are of too high a rank. If their Terror Demons were to appear, their true forms would detect it immediately. They could even control the Terror Demons themselves. The Calamity Mist wouldn't risk creating their Terror Demons," Yunyue said.

"That's good," Li Yelai nodded.

Within half an hour, Jing Lin and the other two considered various details and plans for Li Yelai.

Subsequently, Jing Lin returned, bringing back a large number of mimicking celestial soldiers and forbidden items.

During this period, the Heavenly Soldiers Furnace in Furnace Mining City was operating at full capacity.

They brought Li Yelai 20,000 mimicry heavenly soldiers, including more than 60 divine mimicry heavenly soldiers.

“The mining city has a lot of supplies. In a few more days, the quantity may reach 100,000!” Jing Lin reminded him, “Don’t be too hasty. I know I can’t dissuade you. But I hope you can make full preparations before attempting the attack.”

"I will." Li Yelai nodded.

They then began to examine the prohibited items sent by the authorities.

The Chaos Artifact from the Elysium faction, the Prince's Mask!

Class C Forbidden Item: Möbius Strip (For Decapitation Only, Li Yelai's Doom-Exclusive Version)
A Class B forbidden item, the Black Dragon Armor, unleashed in a near-death battle, generating immense combat power. Its user will inevitably be corrupted.

A Class B forbidden item, the Star-Shattering Spear, a spear that, after a long period of charging, can shatter everything.

Class B prohibited item, Tai Chi - Yin and Yang, a means of communicating with the outside world.

A Class B forbidden item, the Hunyuan Banner, a defensive forbidden item that creates a spatial barrier. It can prevent the disaster fog from spreading further or dissipating. The cost is severe and extreme weather.

A Class D forbidden item: door god stickers. They were likely intended for protection.

And the core of the Machine God?

"How could it be this?" Li Yelai stared in astonishment at the core of the Machine God.

“This thing might save your lives,” Jing Lin said. “The analysis above suggests it may be related to Immortal Lord Chang Le. The evidence is that recently, many bizarre events have occurred in the research lab, causing the researchers a lot of trouble.”

"We can't summon Titans like that guy. At least we can control the Machine Soul. Let's take it with us, it might save our lives. At least among the Terror Demons, if any technological creations appear, like androids or demon engines, they can be severely restrained by the Machine God Core."

Li Yelai nodded and put all the forbidden items into his backpack.

In addition, there's the Lucky Wheel, the Dimensional Slash Blade, and the Reversal Mirror.

Li Yelai possesses eleven forbidden items, which he hopes will be enough to turn the tide of the battle.

"Thank you all, I'll head back now." Li Yelai said, "Lord Chuhe, once the formula is ready, please contact me and Shancha directly."

“Okay, I’ll contact you once the calculations are complete.” Chu He nodded.

Afterwards, Li Yelai returned to the physical world with the supplies.

"Sigh, what a series of hardships we've endured," Chu He sighed. "Even in the lost lands, I've never encountered so much danger."

“After encountering two calamities in a row, this time he even went directly into the calamity.” Jing Lin shook his head: “My brother here is really unlucky.”

"We're too far apart to help him much. If we had known this would happen, perhaps we would have challenged for the third spot earlier and gained an extra privilege." Yun Yue sighed.

Then, the three of them looked at the fourth image.

At the same time, he thought to himself, 'So that's it, the champion in the painting is him.'

On the other side, Li Yelai changed back into his armor and walked out of the room.

At the same time, the Chaos Artifact was hidden in the storage space.

The final means of negotiating with Mr. Shadow, but before that.
Neither Baiya nor Yumiandao have contacted me yet; they've probably been swallowed up by the disaster fog.

With the addition of the personal guard mask on his body, there would now be three Chaos Artifacts within the Calamity Mist.

Three Chaos Artifacts, and the Mad King's Imitation Tear
Is the equivalent of four Supreme-level combatants enough? (End of Chapter)
