Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Perhaps it was the influence of the fear queen that made the doll uneasy and made it increasingly clingy.

She had previously complained of arm pain and tearfully asked Li Ye to help her take a bath.

As a result, she blushed with embarrassment after washing herself.

Now, she wrapped her arms around Li Yelai's neck and whispered to him what day of the week it was.

The arm injury seemed to heal instantly after I took a shower; I don't know how it could be so miraculous.
Looking at the girl snuggling in his arms, feeling her soft and smooth touch.

Li Yelai lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Then, a few minutes later, the sounds of soft, intertwined moans drifted from the room.
After ascending to the rank of Overlord, the doll's combat power increased rapidly, and its psionic abilities were further developed during the battle with the Queen of Fear. It learned through combat.

They also created a unique and deadly weapon called Dark Gold.

Judging by its power alone, the Dark Gold Spear, formed from Dark Gold matter, is no less powerful than the regular version of the Annihilation Spear, which is enhanced with a Dharma Aspect.

This caused the doll's output to skyrocket. Even as a newly crowned overlord, it became one of the top combat forces among the overlords.

It possesses undeniable power!
Her strength is very close to that of the Queen of Dread. Because she retains her humanity, she is not the complete Queen of Dread, but they are not far apart.

Li Yelai used all his trump cards to deal with the Queen of Fear.

Wind and Thunder Strike, Death God's Lair, Annihilation Lightning—aren't they all deadly moves?
But it wasn't until the very end that Li Yelai gained the upper hand in close combat.

It can be said that the Queen of Fear is the strongest enemy Li Yelai has ever encountered.

He's so strong that even if Li Yelai were to fight him again, he might not be able to win.

He was indeed a being who had suppressed the future for a thousand years; his talent was simply too strong.

Fighting someone of a higher level is really difficult for her.

In the past, during peacetime, in the border town

The question of whether the doll or the ninth champion is stronger will likely be debated by hundreds or even thousands of people.

Now, the puppet that has risen to become the overlord has launched a challenge against Li Yelai.

Of course, the challenge scenarios are different from those of the Queen of Fear.

Li Yelai, of course, was not afraid.

As a spearman, he wielded a long halberd and single-handedly broke through the enemy lines!
The halberd flashed like a dragon, stirring up wind and rain, breaking through the defenses, and striking the core.

The battle was fierce, with the battlefield shifting multiple times. However, after hundreds of exchanges, the doll gradually began to lose ground.

Even if one were to ascend to the position of overlord and experience a sudden increase in physical strength, it would still be difficult to withstand the blessing of the Rainbow Piercing the Sun.

In close combat, Li Yelai, with his superior physique, had the upper hand.

After a long while, the doll, forced against the wall, leaned weakly against it, her chest heaving slightly, her face flushed, her eyes filled with tears and dazed. If Li Yelai hadn't supported her waist, she seemed unable to stand up, clearly still reeling from the battle.

Perhaps the battle was too intense, even her aloof and distant temperament changed.

Li Yelai carefully carried her back to the bed. The doll took a long time to recover, her voice trembling, "I remembered wrong. Today seems to be Tuesday."

What new excuse is this for begging for mercy?

Li Yelai thought to himself, then hugged the doll to his chest and soothed her until she fell into a deep sleep.

This time, Li Ye won again.
The next day, Li Yelai did not disturb the sleeping doll, but quietly left the room.

Now, they are resting at the western branch of the Bashu Mountain City.

The underground shelter houses nearly 400,000 people.

It boasts two overlords and more than ten sixth-awakening experts. Among them are several teammates from the champion team.

Furthermore, he also possesses seventy-six forbidden items within the Black Prison.

A complete potion-making workshop and psionic weapon-making factory.

The defensive capabilities are quite formidable, but the presence of numerous industrial zones here ensures a certain level of sufficiency in ammunition and weapons.

Therefore, the combat forces are relatively dispersed, and the defensive pressure is actually very high.

The arrival of Li Yelai and his two companions undoubtedly reduced the defensive pressure on the branch.

Meanwhile, the logistical supplies here were sufficient, allowing Li Yelai to repair his Bright Light Armor and attempt to reforge his Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd.

If it cannot be repaired, the Crimson Spear can be modified.

However, Li Yelai had only taken a few steps out the door when he saw a tall, slender figure emerging from the shadows—it was Little Mad King.

She waved from the shadows, seemingly greeting Li Yelai.

At the same time, Li Yelai also noticed that several identical figures flashed by among the buildings on the ground.

That was Little Mad King's shadow clone, and the clone then released more clones.

Including herself, there are thirteen master assassins guarding the branch in the shadows, preventing any assassins from sneaking in.

"Didn't you go take a rest?" Li Yelai asked as he approached.

"There were some noises making it hard to fall asleep. I decided to check it out. In the end, I managed to take down a few terror demons that were trying to sneak in," Little Mad King replied. "It just caused a little trouble."

A minor disturbance refers to the sudden appearance of a demon's corpse from the shadows, startling nearby guards or civilians.

Li Ye was about to complain when he suddenly realized something. Because of the curse, the Little Mad King had stayed next door to him last night.

The sounds she mentioned...
Li Yelai was somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry."

The Little Mad King shook his head slightly, seemingly unconcerned: "I understand. Spend more time with her, especially now. Don't be indifferent to her. You're not the overlord, so perhaps you don't understand this feeling. You or she, the anchor of humanity."

Li Yelai remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I'm going to rest for a while. You should also check your psionic armor. We'll find some time later to bring the Mad Dragon back."

With that, Little Mad King returned to his room.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, went to the craftsmen's area of ​​the West City branch.

"Your Excellency, it is with great regret that we announce that your Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd is beyond repair, as the mysterious substance within it has been damaged." The official spiritual craftsman from Bashu said regretfully, "The forging technique is extremely superb, but it still cannot keep up with the intensity of your current battles."

Indeed, although the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd is forged with extremely high craftsmanship and is the work of a master craftsman in the forbidden zone, it is ultimately only an A-grade psionic weapon.

Now, most of the enemies Li Yelai faces are overlord-level beings. His weaponry is no longer up to par.

'As expected, I still have to use an S-rank weapon.' Li Yelai thought to himself, then took out the blood-red spear: 'Then help me reforge it. Transform this spear into a halberd.'

Several psionic artisans took the spear and couldn't help but marvel at its craftsmanship.

In particular, there was even a secret treasure among them. The craftsmen were amazed by the technology that combined psionic weapons and secret treasures without affecting each other's psionic energy channels.

"A fusion of overlord weapons and secret treasures?"

"This is also a technique from the forbidden zone. At least, in terms of weapon forging techniques alone, the forbidden zone side is indeed more advanced than us."

"So what if he's tall? He still became the champion's trophy."

"Indeed, let them clean up and get ready, and we'll retrieve them on the battlefield."

"No guns, no cannons. The enemy will make them for us."

After discussing it, the craftsmen asked Li Yelai, "Your Excellency, would you like the single-eared Azure Dragon Halberd or the double-eared Fangtian Halberd?"

Li Yelai pondered for a moment: "A halberd with two ears, perhaps."

“Alright, if it's just a modification, give us a day. If you're in a hurry, you can use this B-grade spear as a makeshift solution.” The psionic craftsman handed Li Yelai a white spear and continued, “As for your armor, the mysterious substance hasn't been damaged yet, but it will still need about three days to be reforged. We have plenty of materials now, and we can even strengthen it for you.” “Okay, thank you.” Li Yelai nodded.

This branch retains sufficient logistical support, so there's no need to worry about a lack of psionic weaponry.

Subsequently, Li Yelai learned about the latest intelligence obtained by the human side within the branch.

This layer of dark space lies between the two dark spaces. It is called the second dark space.

It also connects the two dark spaces.

The calamity fog swallowed most of the mountain city, as well as the wilderness and forests stretching from the dark abyss of the forbidden zone to the giant city. The area affected was vast.

The 'point' leading to the first dark side is located outside the high walls of the giant city, in a valley near the restricted area.

It is currently known that the area is controlled by a large orcish army. And it seems that there are even more orcs on the first level!

Moreover, the wilderness far from the high walls is practically the territory of the terror demons.

Unfortunately, several shelters, connecting nearly a million people and parts of the megacity, were warped into the wilderness by the dark side, resulting in heavy casualties.

If you are in a big city, at least you can take shelter in houses or find a nearby place of refuge.

In the wilderness, those building complexes were isolated and helpless.

Many people were killed by the terror before they could even reach the shelter.

There have even been tragedies where entire shelters have been wiped out.

Fortunately, several overlords and three legions from giant cities rushed to the wilderness, barely stabilizing the situation in that area.

But geographically, it is an isolated island.

Several shelters were abandoned, and people were escorted back to the big city or to other shelters in the wilderness.

Among them are shelters in the East City area.

One of the Supreme Council members then went to one of the three shelters in the east.

They stabilized the situation, built fortresses, and began defense.

Subsequently, another member of the Supreme Council, with the assistance of the arriving Champion Team, led his legion to provide aid.

According to the information, Ma Hongyi, Liu Yun from the Xuanjia Group, and some of the prodigies were all there.

That was the most dangerous and fiercest battlefield. Even the most talented warriors perished in battle.

To establish a connection with the first level, we must break through that battlefield. That's incredibly difficult.

Let alone breaking through the 'points', they're struggling to even defend.

Fortunately, the death of the Insect Lord caused the Demon's offensive to collapse instantly.

Those Zerg who lost their leader and their swarm consciousness attacked all living beings on instinct, including the Terrorfiends who should have been their allies.

This reduced the pressure on the front lines, allowing the orcs to focus on fighting the out-of-control insect swarms.

This gave the city's side the opportunity to relocate some of its residents back to the city. However, the front lines remained in a state of high-intensity conflict.

The member of the Supreme Council that Li Yelai was going to contact was there.

Perhaps the desperate situation drove that council member to take a gamble, borrowing the power of chaos.

Ugh.
The other point was a suburb sealed off by the restricted area legion.

That was the 'point' leading to the third dark layer where Li Ye had been before.

Located northwest of the giant city, although there are many enemy-occupied areas along the way, they are at least easier to deal with than the orc legions.

However, they also have forbidden items and overlord-level powerhouses.

The demons seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with them, and no large-scale conflict broke out.

After all, continuing to block space is extremely advantageous to the demons.

Judging from the current situation, the troublesome part is the battlefield at the East Third Shelter.

A large amount of human combat power needs to be deployed there, even if it means mobilizing combat power to attack 'points'.

We must also ensure that the combat strength of that battlefield is sufficient; otherwise, if the defense line is swallowed up by the terror demons after the third-level point is captured, it would be too bad.

Following that was the intelligence on the Demon's side.

Humanity is truly a constellation of brilliant minds, with powerful individuals gathering a great deal of intelligence on the terrifying demons.

Li Yelai has killed many leader-level Terror Demons, but deep within the Calamity Fog, more Terror Demons are being born, varying in strength. Occasionally, leader-level ones will appear.

They filled the vacant leadership positions.

Among them are some extremely troublesome beings, and a supreme being might just emerge.

Meanwhile, some powerful humans discovered that some of the previously severely injured demons would recover quickly after taking away some corpses.

Analysis revealed that a powerful and dangerous spiritual plant had appeared among the demons.

The Ancient Tree of Absorption is a kind of spiritual plant that hunts prey on its own.

Its size is particularly large, as rugged as a mountain range.

Its byproducts, or parasites, will prey on its surroundings, thus providing it with nutrients.

Its sap has a strong restorative effect and can even make people regain their youth.

It bears some resemblance to the golden ancient tree in the Doomsday Forest. Both obtain nutrients by hunting parasites.

Of course, it is far less powerful than the Golden Ancient Tree.

The ancient golden tree is estimated to have existed for longer than human history, indicating an extremely high level of life.

In the future intelligence of the Scaled Skeleton Civilization.

The Golden Tree stood up and used its branches to smash their massive fleet of warships, even suppressing their Holy Emperor for a time.

Even so, absorbing the sap of ancient trees is still incredibly precious.

While the Zerg Overlord is alive, the swarm will steal biomass, preventing it from absorbing nutrients. After all, it can't defeat the Zerg.

After the insect lord was killed, it seized the opportunity to rise to power and even formed a cooperation with various leader-level hordes of terror.

It brings in high-quality corpses, which are then used as nutrients.

It provides the sap that is enough to save the demons.

One side of the city speculated that the ancient tree was housed on the first floor.

Currently, there is almost no connection with the first level. Unless an adventurer sends a master assassin to sneak into the first level, communication is impossible.

Now, it's unclear whether the powerful figures on the first level can behead that ancient tree.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, was thinking about how he could kill the Ancient Devouring Tree and steal its sap.

Will the old Mad King be able to regain some of his lifespan? Will the human side also be able to obtain more Holy Healing Potions?
The sap from the Golden Tree is unattainable, as it is surrounded by two forbidden zones.

And if you swallow the ancient tree, where can you run to?
Of course, all of this will have to wait until humans have secured all the 'points' before we can consider it.

After saying goodbye to the doll, Little Mad King, and the others, Li Yelai left the shelter alone. His golden wings flapped behind him, and he transformed into a streak of light, flying straight towards the eastern defense line.

Now, let's go and meet that member of the Chaos Supreme Council! (End of Chapter)
