Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

When Little Mad King first met Li Ye, she was already a sixth-level spiritual power user.

Now, Li Yelai has entered the sixth level of perception, while she is still lingering at the sixth level.

Of course, there are still differences between the two.

The Six Senses require solidifying the illusory projection of the psychic and shaping a base within the Well of Souls.

Li Yelai has only reached the stage of temporary illusory projection, while the foundation for the Little Mad King has already been completed. The next step is to refine spiritual energy into divinity and achieve hegemony!

The reason she remained at the Sixth Awakening Realm was not because she lacked talent or couldn't take that step. Rather, it was because the Old Mad King worried that she hadn't accumulated enough experience to overcome the dangerous ritual of advancing to the Overlord Realm, so he required her to postpone her advancement as long as possible.

After all, the failure rate for becoming a hegemon is not low. Many powerful individuals have perished on the path to becoming a hegemon.

After Li Yelai and the undercover agent from the Chaos faction returned, she considered advancing to a higher level, but because the overlords were not allowed to enter the Immortal Palace battlefield, she delayed her advancement plan.

Once his injuries had gradually healed, he prepared to begin his advancement after Li Yelai's return. However, news then came that Li Yelai had conquered Wanlong Lake.

She had to take advantage of her peak sixth sense period to challenge the Land of Inheritance. This delayed her advancement plan once again, until now.

Over a long period of time, Little Mad King's spiritual energy gradually solidified.

He is only one step away from refining himself into divinity. He can step into that realm at any time and obtain the power known as divinity.

According to the records of the ancient Heavenly Court, those who possessed divinity were called divine beings, and their long lifespan was proof that they had completely transcended mortals.

Of course, the risks are also great. The fluctuations in the advancement to the Overlord level will attract a large group of Void Realm creatures.

Although they are currently in the shadow of the illusory realm of disaster fog, advancement will also bring some troublesome and dangerous things.

At the same time, it will also attract the attention of the terror demons.

Since no Supreme Beings were deployed to the calamity fog on the human side, the Overlords represent humanity's strongest high-end combat force. Fortunately, thanks to the assistance of the prodigies of Wanlong Lake, there are quite a few Overlords within the calamity fog. There are sixteen Overlords and over three hundred Great Spiritual Power Users, who constitute the highest combat force on the human side within the calamity fog.

The Demon of Terror will not allow humanity to rise to become another psychic overlord.

Especially a master assassin like Little Mad King. Once a top-tier assassin appears, those leader-level terror demons will probably have to live together in a chaotic mess.

Therefore, once Xiao Kuang advances, the Demon of Fear will inevitably cause trouble.

This is also why Little Mad King proposed this plan.

Li Yelai hesitated. He wasn't worried about losing his title as the "monster spawner." Rather, he was concerned that the Little Mad King's curse might attract even more terrifying demons.

"Is your Seven Awakenings Elixir ready?" Li Yelai asked.

“I had already prepared the potion before the Asgardian War,” the Little Mad King said. “It’s a Shadow Clone; you should have witnessed that ability.”

Li Yelai nodded silently. He Lan, an enemy he had encountered before, had this skill.

It can create three clones, each possessing 70% of its own combat power. If spiritual energy and divinity are sufficient, the clones can continue to create more clones.

He Lan used this technique, combined with the high burst damage of the Qilin Step, to suppress Li Yelai for a time.

Fortunately, Li Yelai possessed the ability to fight groups, which instead depleted a large amount of He Lan's divinity and spiritual energy.

After He Lan was killed by Li Yelai, Li Yelai gained the opportunity to choose her abilities, and the Shadow Clone was one of the abilities he had considered.

However, due to the excessive cost and the potential inability to support Facebook, this option was not chosen.

In hindsight, the fact that the illusionist perfectly replicated Li Yelai's body and couldn't carry the mask suggests that this assessment might have been correct.

This ability is indeed very useful for Little Mad King.

She inherently possesses the ability of Flowing Phantom Strike, and can maintain a terrifying number of 18 strikes.

If combined with clones, three clones can split into nine more clones, for a total of twelve clones. Then, using the Flowing Phantom Strike, each clone can unleash eighteen shadow strikes.

216 shadow strikes, plus the eighteen strikes from her main body. Her figure filled the entire field of vision.

Because of her curse of suspicion, enemies will doubt that every afterimage is the real body. It's terrifying, and if they guess wrong, they could really be poisoned to death.

The critical hit multiplier of 'Shadow Blade' is no lower than that of 'Rainbow Piercing the Sun'.

“If you can successfully advance, few among the overlords will be able to stop your assassination attempt,” Li Yelai sighed, then added, “But only I can protect you. If there are too many leader-level terror demons, I’m worried there might be some mishaps.”

Li Ye himself possesses considerable combat strength, but he cannot guarantee that he can simultaneously stop all enemies.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the curse of doubt will be especially strong at the moment the Little Mad King advances.

Teammates who are affected might do something bad due to various suspicions and wariness. It's even possible that they suspect the Little Mad King has become twisted and are preparing to bury him.

That's the most damn troublesome part of this curse.

Only Li Yelai, who is unaffected by the curse, is the only one who can protect her.

But it was precisely because he was unique that Li Yelai was worried. If he couldn't hold back and let it slip by, the rising Little Mad King would be in danger.

Even if it were Li Yelai's heroic spirit incarnation, it wouldn't work.

The King of Candlelight is ruthless and taciturn. The True Lord of Dawn is ruthless and talks a lot.

Their combat strength was undoubtedly formidable, but their attitude towards the dolls revealed this. None of them could disregard the curse's effects like Li Yelai.

According to the deduction of King Mingxia of Wanlong Lake, Li Yelai's curse was escalated due to some kind of unforeseen event.

It became a curse of a higher sequence, thus ignoring the effects of other psionic curses.

From the fragments of Zhu Ye and the others' memories, we know that Li Yelai's original curse was likely a cursed star, not misfortune.

It is estimated that the existence of Mr. Shadow amplified Li Yelai's curse.

Of course, Li Yelai felt that misfortune was better than being cursed by a lone star.

At least, the dolls and their younger sister are no longer alone. They won't be affected by the curse of being a lone star.

In Zhuye's timeline, he and Li Yunyan had to communicate by passing notes through various door panels. That's just too desperate.
"You're enough, my teammate. I'm not without combat power during my promotion. Although I'm not as fierce as Champion Yang Chen, I can still fight." Little Mad King paused, "Besides, it's difficult for the human side to allocate too many combat forces at the moment."

This caused both of them to sigh silently.

Humans are still far inferior to the terrifying demons.

Although the appearance of the mimicry-like celestial soldiers alleviated some of the pressure on humanity.

However, even the mimicry of celestial soldiers requires human command.

In the past few days, elite teams have been dispatched one after another, either to seize airdropped supplies, investigate underground passages, or support or rescue other shelters of all sizes.

Humanity's fighting strength is still insufficient. Or rather, there are simply too many terrifying demons.

Especially the Zerg Swarm and the Greenskin, these hordes of terrors, can spawn at an outrageous rate.

These terrifying demons can be seen in all areas except for the various shelters.

They monitored the movements of the various shelters while plundering supplies airdropped by humans. They also harassed the shelters from time to time.

Li Yelai, as the champion, was stationed at the branch. Meanwhile, his teammates from the champion team launched numerous attacks.

Cheese and his team went out seven times in one day, eliminating more than a dozen waves of terrifying demons and rescuing and escorting trapped civilians.

This left her exhausted; sometimes she would fall asleep before she had even finished her coffee.

She could only ask Li Ye to help her wash her body.

This isn't about being coquettish or flirtatious; it's just that I'm genuinely exhausted.

The workload for this day was even greater than the workload for a year in the city.

Sometimes, they feel like a brick, filling in wherever needed.

This was an unavoidable situation; the existence of the resurrected Terror Demons meant that their numbers far exceeded those of humans.

On the human side, more than 80% are civilians. They can only fight the plague while training new soldiers and creating more mimicry celestial soldiers.

If a definitive solution is lacking, then this plan is indeed feasible.

"My teammates and I discussed it. They can't protect you at close range, but they can ambush the demons from a distance. Killing even one leader would be good," Li Yelai said.

Little Mad King lowered his eyes and said softly, "Thank you, teammate. I feel much more relaxed with you here."

She knew very well that without Li Yelai, she might not have been accepted by the branch.

Because, before the transformation, she used her appearance to attack several powerful individuals.

Some say she is a traitor who once assassinated a powerful human.

Some say she was a believer in ecstasy and once used desire to seduce soldiers.

Some suspect she has become twisted.

In short, it's about not trusting her.

In this situation, let alone being promoted to Protector, she would probably be besieged by powerful human beings.

"This isn't like you, teammate. Are you some kind of illusion?" Li Yelai complained.

Little Mad King brandished the small bottle in his hand: "Want to check it?"

"No!" Li Yelai waved his hand.

Little Mad King nodded and turned to leave the room: "You should rest first. I should be promoted in about ten hours."

"I am bound by the cage of heaven and earth."

"No need, you can keep it to catch and kill people."

Immediately afterwards, Li Yelai informed the old city lord and the champion team.

The city lord had some doubts about the plan, but after rational analysis, he still arranged for artillery support at any time. To prevent leaks, he did not inform the soldiers of the plan, only instructing them to fire on specific targets.

Meanwhile, the teammates from the championship team confirmed their identities.

The most suitable ambush location and the location where Little Mad King will be promoted have been identified on the currently compiled map.

Because advancing to the Overlord level would have a significant impact on the physical world, her advancement must be far from all shelters, and within the artillery range of branches or other shelters for cover.

Ultimately, the location was determined to be a university situated in the urban area surrounding the mountain city of Bashu.

There is now only an abandoned shelter there, with no human activity. Moreover, even if a Zerg swarm or Orks launch an attack, they can receive support from the branch and shelter's artillery.

So, after a few hours of rest, the group left the branch without disturbing anyone.

On the other side, in a corner of the disaster fog, pieces of jade lit up.

Powerful, terrifying figures were projected from it.

The recent attacks by the insect swarms and orcs have given them an understanding of the general distribution of human forces and the speed of their support.

This allows them to analyze and devise better offensive strategies.

"What about the Hunger and Plague Demons? Which generation are they in?"

"It's the fourth generation. First, it was targeted by humans, and it has already been assassinated twice in the other two realms. We also found the third generation in our third realm. But that female assassin is very strong, and we can't protect it. Fortunately, there are quite a few humans who fear the plague. Although multiple generations cannot appear at the same time due to its uniqueness, the fear is enough to support the generational change. But it's unclear whether there will be a fifth generation."

"Unfortunately, the fourth generation was captured by the immortal faction. They seem to be very interested in the Plague Terror, a rule-based terror. They broke through the defenses and abducted the Plague Terror."

"The lackeys of chaos do not corrupt humanity, but instead cause us trouble."

"That's fine. If all of humanity is corrupted, they will inevitably summon a projection of the Chaos Demon, or even elevate a Chaos Prince, which would be troublesome."

"The Hungry Demon appears in the Second Heaven, and its influence is much greater, even affecting the Third Heaven. We don't need to worry about it for now."

"Both the First and Second Heavens have achieved considerable success. The Corpse King of the First Heaven is about to reach the Supreme level. The Empress of the Second Heaven possesses terrifying combat power, but we don't know if she killed her original body. We can't contact her for the time being. As for us in the Third Heaven, we are stuck in a stalemate."

"The fact that they failed to conquer the human territory allowed the humans to catch their breath; their method of turning beans into soldiers was far too sophisticated."

"Judging from the memories extracted from the brains of human psionicists, it was technology from the ancient Heavenly Court."

"Humanity has had its glorious moments."

"Who hasn't had their moment of glory? The extinct civilization was even more glorious than humanity!"

"Enough, continue your analysis. Nobody wants to hear about your master's glory."

Several highly intelligent demons, through a connection of consciousness, learned about the situation in the other two realms. They then began analyzing the current battle situation through the connection of the jade.

The Rakshasa King, who remained silent, watched the golden characters on his body gradually dissipate.

Suddenly, he looked up sharply. The next moment, more demons noticed the changes in the illusory realm.

The immense pressure of psionic energy swept across the land like a tsunami.

That means humans are rising to become overlords!

"Who is it? Could it be the champion? I knew we should have surrounded and killed him back then!"

"No, it wasn't him, it was the female assassin who killed the third-generation Plague Terror!"

"Is it dangerous?"

"It's dangerous. I suspect she has some kind of magic trick up her sleeve!"

"Her assassination methods alone are dangerous enough."

"She dares to ascend to overlord status amidst the calamity fog! Stop her! Mobilize the insect swarm and kill her!"

The Rakshasa King rose silently, and as the golden patterns gradually dissipated, his aura grew stronger.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you!" (End of Chapter)
