Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Zhenshan and Liu Bo stared in horror at the girl who suddenly knelt down, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads. Their thoughts were momentarily confused.

This girl was an informant planted by Chaos within the giant city.

She had received the chaotic blessing of immortality, and was rejuvenated, disguising herself as a young girl, hiding in a corner of the giant city.

It wasn't until recently that Liu Bo discovered and took control of him.

Using her as a clue, Liu Bo uncovered the hidden secrets within the mountain city.

It was through this that he gained access to the Chaos faction and tacitly allowed them to suppress the plagues facing humanity.

According to this Chaos believer, a high-ranking figure from the faction will come to sign a Chaos Pact with Liu Bo.

Perhaps he is God's chosen one, but more likely he is a Chaos Demon General.

After all, the Chaos faction was also worried that Liu Bo might suddenly change his mind and directly surround and kill the Chosen One. A deadly battle with Chaos would be troublesome.

As a result, the champion arrived before the great figure of chaos even arrived.

Liu Bo was already prepared for the champion to erupt in fury, shouting that he was a traitor, and then killing him and the Chaos Followers together.

Zhenshan had made all the necessary preparations, wanting to secure the championship first, at least let Liu Bo finish speaking before making a decision.

The Chaos believer, too, struggled to maintain his dignity amidst fear.

After all, the newcomer is the champion, the human champion who has killed the Chosen Ones of Chaos!

She was terrified, but she still forced herself to go out, wanting to proclaim the greatness of chaos.

Even if she is defeated by the champion, she must maintain her master's dignity.

However, the moment she saw Li Yelai, all the courage she had gathered vanished instantly.

The playful expression on his face transformed into fervor and fawning.

She knelt humbly on the ground, her forehead pressed firmly against the earth.

"grown ups."

You, a high-level believer in Chaos, actually bow down to the human champion?
Even if you call him "Dad," he won't show any mercy!

The Chosen One of Elysium who died at his hands was no more beautiful than you, and he didn't even leave behind a complete corpse!

What frightened Zhenshan and Liu Bo even more was...

Li Yelai looked indifferently at the Chaos Believers at his feet and calmly uttered a single syllable.

"Um"

No! Absolutely not!
grown ups?

Only demon generals and God's chosen ones can be addressed as "adult" by high-ranking believers!
In that instant, thinking of a possible way to ward off evil spirits, Liu Bo suddenly stood up.

The spiritual energy surging within them made them finally accept reality, even though they couldn't believe it!

The ninth champion, Li Yelai, is the damn Chosen One of Chaos!
Even Liu Bo, who wanted to use the power of chaos to deal with the disaster fog, was terrified at this moment.

His plan to exploit chaos is nothing compared to becoming the chosen champion!

They also plan to exploit chaos; the champion has already become the chosen one.

He is the important figure from the Chaos faction who is coming to sign the Chaos Pact with them.

The two people who were initially tense about Li Yelai's trial instantly became tense.

The sword in Zhenshan's hand appeared, and a red light surged beneath Liu Bo's skin.

The news was so shocking that they instinctively showed hostility.

If Li Yelai's identity weren't so special, they would have already used the signal of throwing a cup to summon eight hundred axemen!
If Liu Bo's plan was radical and risked betraying humanity, then the champion who has become God's chosen one is the true traitor to humanity!

Li Yelai, however, remained calm as he looked down at the Chaos Believer.

"A servant of plague?"

“Yes, my lord!” The Chaos follower was covered in sweat. “You may call me Lan Ci. I am a servant of Lord Plague, and I have been infiltrating the mountain city for three years now.”

"Oh?" Li Yelai chuckled. "Well done, but we need to calm them down. Don't cause trouble for our allies."

Lan Ci glanced at the silent Liu Bo and Zhen Shan, and felt reassured.

As expected of Emperor Yan, he silenced the Supreme Council with just a few moves.

"Yes!" Lan Ci replied even more humbly.

"Can you contact Baiya or Yumian?" Li Yelai glanced at Zhenshan and Liu Bo, then pressed his palm down, signaling them to calm down.

“I can contact the White Cliff Demon General,” Lan Ci replied.

“Very good. Go and tell her personally to assemble her troops and await orders. If necessary, she must cooperate with us in an attack.” Li Yelai smiled and said, “Go ahead, I will handle the rest here.”

"Yes." Lan Ci kowtowed repeatedly.

She then humbly stepped back and left through the hidden door.

After she left, Li Yelai did not look at the two people who were on high alert, but instead opened the door to the command room.

He said to Minglang, who was guarding outside, "A Chaos believer just left. Go there yourself, investigate that guy's communication channels, and confirm the location of the Chaos Legion. Of course, safety is the top priority. If you are discovered, just say that the Emperor's Chosen sent you."

"Don't worry, Captain. Although I'm not as good as that Little Mad King, I'm still a top-notch assassin."

Minglang has advanced to the sixth level of awakening and is also an assassin master.

He nodded to the two councilors, then quickly disappeared through the hidden door and followed Lan Ci away.

Then, Li Yelai closed the door tightly and activated the mysterious barriers again, sealing off the room.

This scene deeply moved Zhenshan and Liu Bo.

Has the champion team also been corrupted?
How desperate this is!
No, if it were God's Chosen, the members of that champion team wouldn't have said that.

Cold sweat beaded on Liu Bo's forehead. His so-called plan, which was considered a traitor's scheme, now seemed like that of a green recruit.

After calming down, Zhenshan said, "Champion, you are..."

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore." Li Ye looked at the two of them: "I have never betrayed humanity, even though I am the Chosen One of Chaos!"

These words left Liu Bo somewhat dazed; he had actually considered many possibilities.

They were either killed or imprisoned by the human champions who disdained to cooperate with Chaos.

And I will do everything in my power to prove myself, to prove that I have 'never betrayed humanity'.

So, it turned out that the human champion himself said those words?
Upon hearing Li Yelai admit that he was the Chosen One of Chaos, Zhenshan's face turned deathly pale.

He knew very well that if this news got out...

The greater the encouragement a human champion can bring to the human side, the greater the blow they can inflict.

Even the most glorious champions have been corrupted by Chaos and become the chosen ones. The morale of the human warriors will likely be shattered!
It could even trigger greater despair, leading to more corruption.

But the champion claims he has never betrayed humanity. Is that true?
They have all been corrupted by chaos and become chosen gods, watched by evil gods, yet they still claim to be able to do what is right for humanity.

Seeing the disbelief on the two men's faces, especially Liu Bo's, he knew all too well the corrupting power of chaos. His son and daughter-in-law were the best in their respective families.

Resolute, brave, reliable, and upright.

However, both of them were wounded by Chaos's weapons and, corrupted by Chaos, gradually became its lackeys.

The corruption of chaos is so dangerous that it is difficult to defend against and resist.

He himself was regarded as a traitor to humanity simply for wanting to borrow the power of chaos.

You, a chosen one of God, what right do you have to say such a thing?

Li Yelai simply brushed his cheek with one hand.

Blood God's Chosen Face, Eternal God's Chosen Face.

Two chaotic forces flashed by, and it was fortunate that the room's spiritual energy sealing techniques were very advanced; otherwise, those two powerful chaotic auras alone would have caused the entire battle line to boil over.

"You're still a Chosen One of the Two Gods?" Liu Bo gripped his weapon tightly. He knew all too well the significance of being a Chosen One of the Two Gods.

“Actually, it’s the Three Gods. I also slept with Bliss. But Bliss herself doesn’t know it. Anyway, as you can see, my ability is quite special. I can imitate the power of historical figures, fictional characters, and even mythological figures.” Li Yelai explained, “And when I was influenced by the power of chaos, I also imitated the power of chaos. I imitated me, who should have become a god.”

"Therefore, in the eyes of the Chaos faction, and even in the eyes of the evil gods, I am the chosen one. But I have not been corrupted by Chaos."

"You can think of this as getting something for free. At least that's how the council members of City Three see it."

"When the war broke out between the Forbidden Zone and you, I gave orders in advance to have the elite legions of both factions attack the Forbidden Zone's Demon Abyss Mountain. This was to relieve the pressure on the Mountain City and, incidentally, consolidate my position as the Chosen One."

"As a result, the disaster fog came and swallowed them up as well."

"And one of these forces was discovered by you. The news that you wanted to cooperate and trade with Chaos also reached me, the chosen one."

"Fortunately, you haven't been corrupted by chaos yet. Otherwise, I would have had to clean house."

Li Yelai picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I'm done. It's your turn."

This is a top secret in Border City No. 3.

Now, Li Yelai has informed the two of this.

Zhenshan was completely dumbfounded.

He was one of the younger members of parliament, but he was still over fifty.

They became those who would not be taken away overnight, conquered the fog of disaster, quelled forbidden zones, and cleansed the chaos.

What storms and waves hasn't he seen?

But he had never seen this scene before!

He couldn't believe that anyone could deceive the gods.
Is this fake? You're actually the Chosen One of the Deceptive Path, aren't you?

Liu Bo remained silent, suddenly realizing that it was a huge injustice for Zhenshan to label his plan as radical.

Liu Bo only wanted to use the chaos to fight against the disaster fog, and he had to take a piece of the disaster fog.

But Li Yelai got the Chaos Gods for free!
Even now, they still can't believe it. Of course, they also can't believe that the champion could be corrupted by chaos.

"Is there any proof?" Liu Bo asked in a deep voice.

Li Yelai nodded slightly and took out the replica teardrop.

When the old Mad King in his prime appeared, Liu Bo and Zhenshan were so shocked that they stood up.

Even without a trace of power leaking out, the teardrop-like forms made them feel as if they were paying homage to a king.

“This is a clone of the Mad King. Of course, this still doesn’t prove my identity. The clone has no independent consciousness. After all, it’s possible that I deceived the Mad King by posing as the champion. As for the other tokens, they naturally can’t exist. My identity is a top secret of the border city,” Li Yelai said.

A few seconds later, Liu Bo sat back down in his seat: "They really are crazy."

Zhenshan, however, was still hesitant.

Liu Bo smiled wryly and said, "Sit down. If he really had his heart set on chaos, a large-scale corruption would have already broken out in the giant city."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhenshan sat back down and said, "Champion, you really gave me a big shock."

“Likewise. I was also worried that you would be corrupted by the Chaos. Before coming here, I was constantly struggling with how to deal with you. Now it's alright, you haven't been corrupted. I can now tell you this secret.” Li Yelai said, golden spatial fluctuations flashing at the side of his hand.

Two parchments, imbued with the aura of chaos, emerged.

This is clearly a pact between the 'Eternal Army' and the 'Defeated Ones'.

"Take a look, it's the Chaos Contract. We use this in our border city." Li Yelai pushed the parchment to the two of them.

Chaos Contract, Border City
"Sigh, although every great city has its own secrets, the secrets of your border city are simply too insane. Collectively using Chaos Contracts?" Liu Bo's expression was complicated as he carefully opened the parchment.

Due to the nature of his work, he has been exposed to a great deal of chaotic knowledge and has a good understanding of chaotic contracts.

However, after careful analysis, word by word and sentence by sentence...

Liu Bo's expression became even more complicated.

This chaotic pact was indeed meticulously designed. It even granted the signatory greater benefits and placed the price that chaos would collect after death or when the signatory was near death.

No word traps
“I see. So the goal is actually the price?” Liu Bo said. “At least we can ensure that the contractors won’t be corrupted before the price arrives.”

"That's right, the stronger the amplification, the greater the cost. These two contracts maintain a perfect balance. They fight for humanity in life and become living corpses after death, commanded by a higher generation of contractors."

"And the defeated are those who, in desperation, resort to certain killing squads using extreme measures. It points to a distortion."

Liu Bo nodded silently, then asked again, "Can the increase be improved further? Even just a little bit?"

“No, even I can’t change any more of the terms.” Li Yelai shook his head: “Making a deal with Chaos is already the best contract we can have.”

"For example, the Old Mad King, that Chaos believer just now. He received the blessing of the Immortal Faction, thus rejuvenating himself and gaining a much longer lifespan, probably an extra hundred years."

"Isn't this kind of blessing suitable for the Old Mad King? But no, the price to obtain this blessing is the Old Mad King, which is unacceptable to humanity!"

"We cannot gain great benefits without being corrupted by chaos."

After reading the contract, Zhenshan smiled and said, "It's already very good. Don't be too greedy, Liu Bo."

"If we can shatter the calamity fog, we won't have to worry about the chaos continuing to spread! At the same time, because we have signed a pact with the chaos, from the perspective of the chaos faction, we are their prospective believers, which can actually save us a lot of trouble."

Liu Bo was prepared to plunge into the chaos, willing to explode with the calamity mist regardless of life or death. The price, of course, was that even if the calamity mist was destroyed, those who had plunged into the chaos would certainly perish.

Li Yelai's contract, on the other hand, takes both points into account.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bo signed the contract directly.

Feeling the power from chaos surging into his body, Liu Bo said, "Champion, what if things really come to the worst?"

"Please, set aside your pity." (End of Chapter)
