Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

After Li Ye returned to the deck, Xinghuo and the others had somewhat complicated expressions, and even the heavy cavalry had a hint of worry in their eyes.

Li Yelai's violent reaction to the 'Mirror River' worried them.

In their memories, both sides were old comrades-in-arms. They were comrades who had shared life and death with each other, and had entrusted their lives to one another.

This put them in a difficult position and made them doubt their own memories.

If the 'Mirror River' is fake, are there other fake ones?
Li Yelai could understand their thoughts. Therefore, he wouldn't argue.

This may be one of the enemy's objectives.
'This is way beyond what's expected,' Li Yelai thought to himself.
His consciousness then sank deeper, gazing at the bizarre and surreal misty space: "Mr. Shadow, have you ever seen this kind of ability before? Can you resolve it?"

"One transaction, reset everything." To Li Yelai's surprise, Mr. Ying responded.

That makes sense. Li Yelai is clearly entangled in this trouble now, and Mr. Ying will certainly not refuse any opportunity for a deal.

"Reset...does that mean restoring everyone's memories?" Li Yelai frowned. "And then what? The enemy isn't defeated, and they come back again. Do I have to make another deal with you?"

Mr. Shadow seemed to be smiling.

"How insidious! Couldn't you just take down the mastermind behind this all at once?" Li Yelai sighed. If things really got out of control, making a deal with Mr. Ying would indeed be an option.

But He only cares about killing and not burying, so resetting once is useless. If the enemy isn't wiped out, this situation will only recur. If Li Yelai had dozens of trading opportunities, it wouldn't be so bad. But he only has two left, and to ensure safety, he won't use the last one. He only has one chance. It's such a waste not to save this chance for when he's conquering the forbidden zone.
"I can only go back to Jucheng first," Li Yelai thought to himself.

At this moment, Chu He also returned to the deck and nodded slightly to Li Yelai.

Clearly, he had already delivered the core of the Machine God and the Chang Le Immortal Lord inside it to Yun Yue via the Ark.

That's good. Although Chang Le Xianjun is unreliable, as an immortal from the ancient Heavenly Court, he has always treated humanity with 'goodwill'.

With him around, Li Ye felt much more at ease in Jucheng.

Back then, in the simulated universe, this guy was a fierce warrior who fought against the ever-changing master disguised as a 'system'.

Although he can be quite cheeky, he's actually reliable!
Afterwards, Li Yelai looked at the heavy cavalry and others with their various expressions, and did not continue to dwell on the existence of 'Mirror River'.

Instead, they discussed the situation of the Rangers with them.

He then took the opportunity to explain the Night Scouts' combat sequence and roles to Chu He, so that the psionicists from the Lost Lands who were willing to join the official faction could quickly integrate into the group.

Back then, Team Leader Benlei's choice was absolutely correct.

The heavy cavalryman was undoubtedly a qualified squad leader.

After taking over the banner of the mobile game's cavalry, the Heavy Cavalry starts from scratch, recruits teammates, and quickly reorganizes and grows.

Now, with two 'Ranger' teams of five-sense night scouts, they've already stepped one foot into the elite night scout ranks.

The elite Night Scouts are tasked with working together to kill a Sixth Awakening Great Psionicist on the battlefield!
This will put the individual strength and tactical coordination of the night scouts to the test.

And the current roster of the 'Rangers'.

Heavy cavalry, a True Martial Path Five-Awakening Psionicist, is clearly a physical powerhouse.

Xinghuo, a fifth-level awakened psionicist on the Zero Path, is also a powerful attacker, but follows the psionic fire route. However, with the Flame Knight's legacy, he can occasionally take on melee combat roles.

The Lion, a fourth-level psychic from the Whispering Path, is positioned as a support and disruptor. When he reaches a higher level, he may also be able to enhance his teammates.

Shadow Stream, a fourth-awareness psionicist of the Nether Path, is positioned as a disruptor and battlefield assassin.

It looks good, with no obvious weaknesses. But considering that the night watch team consists of four to six people...

It can be further optimized.
"We could try to see if there are any suitable members from Wanxiang Path. They can be versatile and have a high tolerance for error. My assistant is from Wanxiang Path."

As a veteran overlord, Chu He quickly offered his advice: "The Myriad Paths isn't very strong in the early stages, but it has many support abilities. For example, the Void Beast Language can be used to control animals or extraordinary creatures for intelligence gathering or combat support. If the third awakening adds specific materials to obtain the ability variant Mimicry: Lava Dragon Scales, it can also be used in conjunction with Starfire attacks. If the fourth awakening grants Mimicry: Dragon Claw, it can provide unexpected support and crowd control effects."

"The Myriad Manifestations Path has many variations of abilities, making it the path with the most variations among all paths. In the early stages, it takes the support route, and in the later stages, with the right tactics, its combat power becomes extremely strong. Upon reaching the Sixth Awakening, its combat power undergoes a qualitative change."

"Look at your champion, even without his face mask, he's incredibly powerful. The Myriad Paths system, once fully formed, is truly disgusting."

Chu He explained with a smile, "Of course, don't be like Old Li. His ability to wake up in one breath is too outrageous and obviously illegal."

Li Yelai shrugged, neither denying nor rejecting the statement.

The faceless mask of all phenomena is indeed Li Yelai's main means of output and supplementation.

Without the mask, Li Yelai would probably have followed the promotion path of Candle Night or Dawn.

Chongqi nodded thoughtfully and replied, "I have indeed considered this, but I haven't met a suitable colleague for the Wanxiang Path yet."

"There's no rush. This is just my personal opinion; other paths can also be well-matched. And this time, we brought a specialty from the Lost Lands: the Calculation Tablet. It can calculate the potion recipes and variant conditions for any path." Chu He smiled, this was a way of repaying the giant city for its past support.

With this stone tablet, the ability combinations of official psionicists will be more complete and varied. Ability variants will become more controllable.

“I also brought out a lot of inheritance data from the simulated universe this time. Those of you who have already advanced can also be strengthened because of it. You can think about it slowly after returning to the Giant City. If your abilities are suitable, going through the inheritance process is not a bad idea,” Li Yelai said.

That was a gift from Jun Fu; of course, the original had already been sent to the giant city.
The simulated universe has gone through countless cycles, leaving behind a considerable legacy.

Some of these can alter the characteristics of a psionicist, such as Starfire's Flame Knight heritage, which gives his flames the ability to cut with sharpness.

These inheritances will undoubtedly further enhance the combat power of psionicists.

With Chu He, a powerful overlord who had fought his way up in the hellish land of the Lost Lands, personally providing guidance.

The heavy cavalry and their men seemed to have gained some insights, each having learned something new.

As time passed, this rare human fleet arrived at the agreed rendezvous point with the giant city.

That was the wilderness dock, which was relatively close to Border Town No. 1.

It was originally an abandoned city, showing no trace of the bustling activity and vibrancy it possessed before the Age of Calamity. After humanity sought refuge in the giant city, it became the domain of beasts and supernatural beings.

However, the preserved port made it a vital stop on the sea route. Many caravans would stop here to resupply or sell or purchase specialties from other major cities.

This gave the dock a bit of vitality.

Now, even from a great distance, Li Yelai could see the tracks laid by the Yellow Springs Train, as well as the crowd standing nearby.

However, as the fleet approached, Li Yelai, who was standing on the deck, saw from afar a frog doll waiting on a rooftop on the shore.

That slightly plump yet incredibly friendly silhouette immediately caught my eye; she was waving an advertising board. Li Yelai's physique allowed him to see the cute emoticons on it.

[Xiaoye, welcome home! (≧≦)]
The simple combination of symbols exudes a uniquely innocent yet heartwarming charm that is both endearing and touching.

However, this gentle girl, upon learning she had been dragged into the forbidden zone of the net, unleashed a terrifying killing intent that even the Supreme Beings couldn't comprehend. She was like a fearsome empress descending upon the world. Several Star Walkers were crushed alive by her on the battlefield, along with their secret treasures.
Standing next to her was Cheese, who had neat, short, ear-length hair.

She didn't wave anything, just stood there quietly, a clear smile on her face. Her captivating peach blossom eyes curved slightly with her smile, like a little fox eyeing its treasured possession, satisfied yet cunning. It felt like she might come up and bite you any now and then.
The moment Li Yelai's gaze met theirs.

It was as if an invisible warm current was precisely washing over his heart.

The gloom that had been hanging over my heart because of the 'Mirror River' dissipated in an instant.

It's been such a long time.

Li Yelai entered a simulated universe spanning multiple time periods, stayed there for over a month, and then unexpectedly went to the Lost Lands.
All told, it's been almost three months since we last saw each other.

Without waiting for the warship to dock, golden wings appeared behind Li Yelai. With just a slight flap, he transformed into a golden streak of light and appeared at the dock, in front of the doll and cheese.

The sea breeze brought a salty, damp scent, but it couldn't dispel the warmth that had suddenly brought the three of them closer together.

"I'm back," Li Yelai said softly.

"Welcome home." The doll's voice was still so gentle, but with a slight tremor.

She put down the billboard and hugged Li Yelai tightly, her strength so great it seemed she wanted to meld Li Yelai into her body.

"Hmm, it's alright now." Li Yelai gently stroked the doll's back, soothing it in a low voice.

The empress who instilled fear in the Heavenly Evolution Travelers transformed into a spoiled girl in his arms, needing comfort.

However, when Li Yelai looked up, he saw the cheese approaching silently.

She wasn't surprised that the doll hugged Li Yelai first, nor did she feel jealous or angry.

Instead, he leaned closer with a mischievous grin, slightly tiptoeing, as if he wanted to kiss Li Yelai's lips.

This scene felt very surreptitious, and she seemed to be really looking forward to the doll's reaction after discovering it.

Even though the relationship between the three of them was already established, she still enjoyed teasing the dolls.

In her words, the doll is a person with a love-struck mind, and teasing a person with a love-struck mind is very interesting.

"Are you starving? I'll make you noodles for dinner tonight." She mouthed, teasing him silently.

However, at a certain moment...

The cheese suddenly stopped, and her usually smiling peach blossom eyes widened instantly, filled with astonishment.

The doll in Li Yelai's arms stiffened, as if it had discovered something extremely shocking. Clearly, it had sensed something.

At the same time, Li Yelai's arm was grabbed by a familiar hand, the force seemingly greater than before.

Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head following the force.

What came into view was the Little Mad King's face, which was clearly filled with confusion and panic.

As the most powerful assassin, she somehow disembarked from the ship and arrived on the rooftop.

At this moment, she looked at the doll tightly embracing Li Yelai, and then at the cheese, who was close at hand and in an ambiguous pose.

His eyes were filled with confusion, unease, and a sense of abandonment.

She gripped Li Yelai's arm tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

This scene left the doll and the cheese speechless and shocked.

They certainly knew that Li Yelai and Little Mad King were partners in this operation against the Heavenly Evolution Walkers.

If Li Yelai is the champion of humanity, then he is the unstoppable, invincible human blade on the front lines.

Then Little Mad King is the most silent and reliable shield of this sharp blade, a cleaner who walks in the shadows. All attempts to assassinate the champion, all malicious attacks from the shadows, are often killed by Little Mad King before they can even step out of the shadows.

Reliable and powerful!
The only problem is that the Little Mad King's personality is numb due to his own curse, and he doesn't even care about the rules between men and women. He has been lectured by Li Yelai quite a bit.

Cheese once joked privately that Li Yelai's tired and helpless look when facing Little Mad King was like that of a worried old father.
From another perspective, Little Mad Queen and the Doll are somewhat similar; both are girls tormented by curses and lacking a childhood. The Doll's fear prevents any living being from approaching her. Little Mad Queen's curse stems from suspicion, causing her to be distrusted by everyone.

Li Yelai, with his extremely high resistance to curses, became one of the few people who could communicate with them normally.

However, the two have completely different personalities.

In Cheese's opinion, dolls are somewhat love-struck; once they develop feelings for someone, they'll immediately pursue them.

Little Mad King, on the other hand, did not show any such emotions. Given her personality, camaraderie probably takes precedence over her.

But the girl before them, tall and fiery, usually expressionless and even a bit fierce, was now gripping Li Yelai's arm tightly, her knuckles white, as if she were clutching a lifeline. This intense dependence and emotional outburst was completely different from the Little Mad King they knew.

Has your personality changed in just over a month?

What's this, love growing over time?

Cheese looked at Li Yelai with a complicated expression: "You ate really well, kid!"

The doll was clearly malfunctioning, with a lot of gibberish appearing on the billboard.

[#￥%&*@!~???##]
No! It's a misunderstanding!

On the other side, on the deck of the Yan Yun.

After Little Mad King instinctively followed Li Ye ashore.

Chu He's amused smile never faded; his grin stretched almost to his ears.

Not only him, but everyone on the deck who was originally preparing to disembark or carry out handover work all slowed down in unison.

Heavy Cavalry, Starfire, Shadow Stream, and even Yan Hong and Isabel, among others.

At this moment, they all naturally or blatantly pulled out binoculars or telescopes from various places, or simply relied on their own superb eyesight through the Spirit Eye Path, and all turned their gazes toward the small platform in the distance.

"Tsk, why didn't they fight?"

The bloodthirsty audience voiced their discontent.
