Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Two human legions located in different dark dimensions successfully met at the core fortress of the forbidden zone.

The legion in the restricted area collapsed completely after losing its high-end combat power, and scattered and fled.

Human powerhouses and a large number of mimicry celestial soldiers seized the opportunity to pursue them, driving them into the territory of the terror demons.

Despite the defeat, the Forbidden Zone still has a considerable number of troops, and the Terror Demons will have to be used to wear them down.

Creatures from forbidden zones can indeed return from the virtual realm; it just takes a few hundred years.

However, the Forbidden Zone Legion contains a large number of Forbidden Zone humans.

They died, and they really died.

As a result, humans captured many prisoners, and the hordes of demons launched merciless attacks on the humans in the forbidden zone.

A dozen minutes later, Li Yelai saw the Mountain City Lord dressed in armor inside the fortress.

The old man's severed arm was not repaired with holy healing potions, but was instead transformed into some kind of psionic prosthetic.

According to him, the quantity of Holy Healing Potions was too small.

This should be used to maintain peak combat strength. As for myself, a psionicist who isn't good at combat, I shouldn't waste it. A prosthetic limb will do.

At this moment, he personally led his soldiers to the battlefield.

They met Li Yelai at the enemy's headquarters.

"Champion, it's been a long time! We've finally met again."

The city lord of the mountain city looked at Li Yelai, who was covered in blood and whose boots still had bits of flesh and bone.

They understood that the champion had gone through an unimaginable bloody battle.

From his perspective and that of the human powerhouses on the third level, the champion who helped Little Mad King advance to the position of guardian went missing during that battle.

It appears they have infiltrated the enemy's spatial tunnel.

This was an extremely risky and crazy move, and some even suspected that Little Mad King had teamed up with Terror Demon to betray the champion.

They then realized that the swarm was out of control, and the swarm leader was beheaded.

Furthermore, they sensed the death of the Supreme Being. The Demons lost their ability to teleport their forces.

Seeing Li Yelai leading the human army out again filled the Mountain City Lord with mixed emotions.

"Lord City Lord reacted quickly. Were you originally planning to attack the 'point' as well?" Li Yelai asked.

"After we forged 50,000 mimicry celestial soldiers, we planned to attack the 'point'. After discovering that they were mobilizing their forces, we knew that the second layer was also likely to launch an attack. So we decisively launched the attack."

"Speaking of which, the reason we were able to forge so many heavenly soldiers so quickly is thanks to the Heavenly Soldier Furnace you brought, and the Insect Lord you killed."

The city lord of the mountain city said, "After the insect lord died, the insect swarm left on our floor went berserk, attacking all living things in sight and even devouring each other, which caused considerable losses to the Terror Demons. We took the opportunity to collect their corpses."

"By the way. Through experimentation, we discovered that orcs are actually the best material. Their bodies are somewhere between flesh and blood creatures and spiritual plants, making them the most suitable material for the Heavenly Soldier Furnace. We only need to add extraordinary minerals."

"In the future, if conditions permit, we'll plant some orcs and harvest them like harvesting leeks for material. Of course, the risk is quite high."

More than 50,000 mimicking celestial soldiers, plus the assistance of human legions and powerful individuals?
After a moment's thought, Li Yelai asked, "Can you guarantee the stability of the rear? I remember there aren't many overlords on the third level."

The second level originally had nine overlords, plus the newly added dolls and Little Mad King.

This brings the number of overlords on the second level to a terrifying eleven, plus Li Yelai, who is considered an overlord-level fighter.

Even in a typical megacity, there aren't this many powerful figures clustered together.

Within the border city cluster, the city with the most overlords is Border City No. 1, which has seven overlords.

There are only four overlords in Border City No. 3. Even if we consider Li Ye as an overlord, there are only five.

The number of overlords on the third level is also small, only three.

At that time, Little Mad King wanted to advance to the level of Overlord so as to increase the number of Overlords on the third level.

"Rest assured, we have our own plans, and the fact that a prodigy has risen to the rank of overlord in the midst of battle has boosted morale considerably." At this point, the city lord of the mountain city paused, "Moreover, we have obtained the assistance of the champion."

"The champion?" Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat. This 'champion' was clearly not himself; it was...
"Champion of Terror?"

The city lord nodded.

"Is it the fifth generation?" Li Yelai asked in surprise.

According to the investigation by human powerhouses, it is speculated that the fifth-generation champion is likely located on the second level.

Although it hasn't had direct contact with humans, traces of its battles can be found in many places. Often, when a battle erupts in an area and powerful human warriors arrive, the demons and buildings there have vanished. The remaining psionic weapons are simply torn to shreds.
That's a trace of the fifth generation. He is also a path of myriad phenomena, and his mythological mimicry is like the 'Taotie' that eats one after another without making a sound.

But how did he assist the third level? Could he also transcend spatial limitations?
The city lord of the mountain city was pleasantly surprised: "What? The fifth-generation champion is here too? He's on the second floor?"

This shook Li Yelai to his core, but under the influence of some kind of resonance, he subconsciously looked into the distance.

A slender figure can be seen on a dilapidated building in the far distance.

He has snow-white hair, wears a cloak, holds a battle axe, and overlooks the battlefield.

Seemingly sensing something, it turned its gaze towards them.

The moment their eyes met.

Li Yelai was startled: "She appeared too?"

The white-haired girl slightly parted her lips: "The Ninth Prince? His background is a bit mixed."

The next moment, the white-haired girl nodded slightly and disappeared without a trace.

"It's the second generation!" Li Yelai was pleasantly surprised. There are now three champions in the Disaster Mist. If he could summon Zhu Ye, they could even play mahjong!

“Not bad,” said the city lord of the mountain city. “Although she didn’t contact us, when the war started, she chopped off the head of the giant Xiemai construct with an axe, causing its main cannon to be diverted and destroying a large number of their own legions. This allowed the mimic celestial soldiers to take the opportunity to break in and tear things apart. And when they were preparing to push us out with their reserve forces, you attacked from behind. Hahaha, those two overlords cursed them quite horribly.”

"So, they also haven't had any contact with humans?" Li Yelai nodded silently. The champions, unable to suppress their instincts to scare the demons, chose not to approach.

"If only Sword King could have seen her." The City Lord of Mountain City revealed a wistful smile: "He admired her very much. What a pity. I wonder if the second champion still remembers Sword King. After all, Sword King was very low-key back then, and was inconspicuous in the crowd."

The city lord of the mountain city sighed, "Alas, what a pity it was the champion. Once you meet a champion, your life is ruined."

Li Yelai, the ninth-generation champion, looked bewildered: "What happened to the champion?"

"If you lined up all the champions' brains, even the Chaos Gods couldn't get in," the Mountain City Lord complained. "Don't you guys have any self-awareness?"

The champion's cape behind Li Yelai seemed to be issuing an encouraging proclamation.

"Unfortunately, King Sword will never see her again."

A monarch must never enter the fog of disaster unless he can suppress it instantly.

Otherwise, once trapped inside the disaster fog, the forbidden zones outside will never let this opportunity pass.

As things stand, given the extreme nature of the No. 49 Disaster Fog, it is impossible to escape without completely eliminating all the terrifying demons.

Even if a king were to come, he couldn't do it. "Now, with three human champions within the calamity fog, how could we possibly lose!" The Mountain City Lord revealed a ferocious smile: "Let those terror demons witness the wrath of humanity!"

"Now, we've breached the Forbidden Zone Legion's defenses and obtained the Harmony Meridian Array Technique. This is the pinnacle technology of Demon Abyss Mountain, but due to its limited range, it can only be used for defensive warfare. Even we've never been able to acquire its secrets. This time, we've finally got our chance!"

"With enough orc corpses, we have plenty of mimicry soldiers!"

"With the Harmony Meridian Array Technique, our defensive array is stronger than ever before!"

"With the strong support of three champions, we will be invincible!"

"I have no idea how we can lose!"

The city lord of Shancheng and that councilor Liu Bo had completely different ideas.

One side is summarizing its own strengths and having an unwavering belief in victory.

Even if they don't, as the city lord, they must still have this belief.

If even the city lord has no intention of winning, then morale will truly collapse.

On the other hand, they were pessimistic and prepared for the worst, namely, mutual destruction!

Even if I can't beat you, I'll drag you down to hell with me!

There's no way to say who's right or wrong; these are all necessary disagreements.

As for surrendering? Screw that!
No matter how big the differences are, the surrender faction will be eliminated first!
Thinking of this, Li Yelai said, "Liu Bo and Councilor Zhenshan are both currently at the East Third Sanctuary. They are confronting the orc legion. As for him, he has some strategies that require your support."

That plan had to be explained by Liu Bo himself; there was no way to hide it from him.

"Are they on this floor too? Strategy." After pondering for a moment, the city lord of the mountain city nodded slightly: "Very good, I'll go there now, with the Harmony Meridian Array, to reinforce the front line! By the way, support those shelters. You've spared so many troops, they must be under a lot of pressure."

"The Champion's Point is extremely important, connecting two spaces. Please stay here for now and take a rest," said the Mountain City Lord. "We can't let other terrifying demons take it. I'll leave you with ten thousand mimic heavenly soldiers."

Li Yelai nodded.

The doll, the little mad king, and himself.

With three overlord-level combatants and the Demon Lord not appearing, they should be able to hold this point.

Subsequently, the city lord of the mountain city led half of his troops and the mimicry heavenly soldiers towards the East Third Shelter.

Along the way, some troops were sent to shelters, relieving the defensive pressure on each shelter.

The strategic objective has been achieved. Humanity has connected to the third layer of space and has also received assistance from the Heavenly Soldiers' Furnace.

As the number of mimicry soldiers increases, the defensive pressure on the human side will gradually decrease.

If we could create millions of mimicking celestial soldiers, humans would have an easy time defeating orcs.

Li Yelai was thinking to himself when he looked up and saw the short-haired girl in front of him.

She chatted with Little Mad King, congratulating him on his promotion to overlord.

Then, Cheese looked Li Yelai up and down, who was covered in blood. He then spoke: "Word of Power: Water Bullet."

A stream of water suddenly appeared, washing away the bits of flesh and blood on Li Yelai's armor.

"Hmph. I don't even need candy when I'm with you." Cheese stepped forward and put her hand on Li Yelai's shoulder: "Sorry, handsome, I got you wet again."

Li Yelai was already used to Cheese's sudden outburst.

"Is everything alright?" Li Yelai asked.

“Yes, although you left in a hurry, we guessed your plan. It was the perfect moment to eliminate the Decapitation Insect Lord. It's best to take it down as soon as possible before it grows to the Supreme level.” Cheese nodded. She then looked at the silent doll beside her.

Because the doll's fear curse was suppressed while it was near Li Yelai, Cheese was able to see Zhang Juemei's face.

Every time I see this face, I'm amazed.

Now, the change in the doll's aura has made this face increasingly noble, seemingly an unapproachable immortal.
She no longer seemed like that shy, innocent, and wicked woman.

"Congratulations on your ascension to Overlord. Doll." Cheese looked at that face: "Are you alright?"

"Hmm," the doll knew what Cheese was worried about. She whispered, "I'm still me. At least for now."

"That's good," Cheese smiled, then asked, "By the way, what day of the week is it today?"

The doll jolted?
The Little Mad King, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, spoke up: "If I remember correctly, today should be Saturday. Why are you all so fixated on what day of the week it is?"

Little Mad King was a little confused; she remembered that the doll seemed to have talked about something similar before.

What? Do you meditate on certain days of the week for faster progress?
Cheese said, "Ennnn, it's a secret."

The doll's face flushed, and its aloof demeanor softened somewhat.

This made Cheese chuckle to himself, completely relieved.

Okay, she's still that introverted, love-obsessed girl.

However, the joy of the human side's strategic success did not last long before bad news arrived.

News of the breaching of shelters numbered 2, 5, 8, and 15 in the south.

It directly extinguished human joy.

Several sixth-level experts died in battle, the prodigy Wei Jie sacrificed himself, the overlords who went to provide support were repelled, and an organized human army lost contact. Of the nearly 130,000 civilians in the four shelters, only 30,000 survived.

Those four shelters were almost simultaneously rendered defenseless.

The defenses were breached by the terror demons, and the resistance was extremely weak.

And so, the already battered silver mech, carrying the heavily wounded Overlord, arrived at another sanctuary.

Only humans know what happened there.

In that instant, all the soldiers and civilians inside the shelter fell into a deep sleep.

Only a few highly awakened psionicists withstood this wave of drowsiness.

And at that very moment, the demons launched their attack.

Large numbers of soldiers and psionicists were killed in their slumber. The awakened powerful warriors roared as they fought against the hordes of ghouls and desperately tried to rouse the civilians and soldiers.

But in the end, only a portion of the people were saved.

The overlord who went to provide support encountered an unrecorded attack by a terrifying demon. The curtain seemed to be torn open between dream and reality, and he was forcibly dragged into the dream.

If the silver mech hadn't been unaffected, he might not have been able to return.

That was the new terror.

That was a nightmare. (End of Chapter)
