Netherworld Retrograde

The Book of Destiny can make a champion a Divine Chosen, which means other strong human beings can also alter their fate in this way.

Zhu Tu's desire for the Book of Destiny reached its peak at this moment.

A certain gleam emitted from the stone statue's eyes: "As for the Book Holder... he is too dangerous, and too mysterious. Emperor's Fall became a Divine Chosen, or was truly influenced by the Book of Destiny. All our reverse deductions about the Book of Destiny have failed. There must be a supreme entity behind it."

"Enough, at least the appearance of Emperor's Fall is a good thing. Otherwise, how could we obtain a human champion as a Divine Chosen? Since he is one of the Ark Chosen Ones, it will be easier for us to connect with Emperor's Fall." Zhu Tu nodded, then said, "But we don't know whether Giant City knows he is an elector."

"They probably know... When Copper Face appeared as an agent, the Night General had not yet risen, had not even awakened... It is estimated that after the Fantasy Band incident, Giant City captured the original Copper Face and chose to let the Night General impersonate Copper Face. As a nail planted in the ark to trade and gather intelligence from outside... Otherwise, how did Copper Face trade for Imitative Heavenly Soldier? In Giant City's eyes, he is not only a champion but also a channel for connecting with the ark."

The stone statue responded: "The good news is, with his presence, we can better filter intelligence and continue to deceive Giant City. The bad news is that his identity has been exposed within the ark. If there are still people from Border City inside the ark, they might relay the information to the officials, threatening him."

"Mere rumors from the ark would not make Giant City suspect a human champion. Not to mention, Emperor's Fall's support for the Disaster Fog was seen as heroic by countless people." Zhu Tu laughed, "The real threat to him is the Book Holder. He doesn't know that Emperor's Fall is the champion, while he tries to befriend Emperor's Fall, he also puts a bounty on the champion."

"Hmm, it seems even the Book of Destiny has its flaws." The stone statue let out a cold laugh: "The Book Holder is getting anxious, so send more elite forces into action, letting Emperor's Fall grow to a level where he needs no protection!"

"I will have other Divine Chosen send elite legions. If the Divine Chosen can't get close, sending a Demon General into the Chaos Holy Artifact is also an option."

"It wasn't you who went around calling him a Calamity Star..."

"I'm not slandering; I would say the same in front of Emperor's Fall." Zhu Tu laughed, then took out another piece of information. His previously relaxed brows quickly knitted again, "Heavenly Disaster Dragon, Titan Sea Emperor Snake, are these the materials for the Magic Potion Recipe needed by Emperor's Fall?"

"It should be almost complete. With so many Supreme beings dying in the Disaster Fog as offerings, plus the blood sacrifices he's conducted, he's not far from becoming an Overlord. The Heavenly Disaster Dragon... let the nearest sub-branch go to the Dragon Tomb to retrieve it. As for the Titan Snake... let the Eternal Life Faction figure it out."

The stone statue paused, continuing to speak: "As for you, Zhu Tu. Seize the moment, and be sure to ascend to Supreme this time!"

"Of course, after years of nourishing, it's time to bear fruit."

...

In the following days, No.1 Border City was caught up in a review by the Heart Inquiry Sword.

The traitors and nails concealed within the official ranks could no longer hide.

Some fled in advance, hunted down by Ye Boshou members.

Some launched a counterattack but were immediately slain by the well-prepared Judgment Team.

Others were traced, revealing connections to the Ember Church.

Champion Team One, through the success of the Heart Inquiry Sword, received the blessing they deserved.

They then proceeded to assist in purging No.1 Border City's internal ranks.

Among them were people like Sun Zhao, nails with concealed Chaos Faith and memories.

Others were traitors, secretly corrupted and worshiping the Chaos Gods.

Still, others were already bought by certain factions and organizations.

To avoid public panic, No.1 Border City tried to minimize the impact of this major cleanup as much as possible.

Though the several inquiries consumed vast amounts of resources, at least they cleared the internal malignancies within the officials.

During this period, the materials Li Yelai needed were also collected by the Chaos Faction and delivered to him within the ark.

The Eternal Life Faction truly had some means, reportedly with the intervention of Luo Duo Chosen One, they cooperated and traded to have a powerful marine creature fetch the Tear Crystal of the Titan Snake.

When the marrows of the Heavenly Disaster Dragon, white as ivory, melted into liquid form with the Tear Crystal of the Sea Emperor Titan Snake, and then dripped into the magic potion.

The entire bottle of the magic potion turned pitch black, resembling a mass of Black Cloud, with eerie crimson glimmers flickering from within.

It almost seemed like a Thunder Cloud about to unleash lightning.

This was the magic potion of Seventh Awakening... Clearly just a magic potion, yet it emitted a kind of chilling pressure.

Judging by its appearance, drinking it would likely entail some psychological burden.

Meanwhile, Master Mo Hai also completed crafting Li Yelai's Overlord Weapon and Secret Treasure.

The initially crafted Sky Jumping Scimitar was reforged into a more agile Horizontal Blade.

The Spiritual Power Veins were shattered and restructured, extending the space jump distance to over four kilometers. In the absence of weapons, it could be roughly used as Spiritual Ability Equipment, though unsuitable for intense battles.

Subsequently, it was the main weapon crafted for Li Yelai by Master Mo Hai.

The original Blood Wing Red Gold Halberd was reforged into the Breaking Army Mountain Shifting Halberd.

It was a Single-Ear Halberd, its entire body based in profound black ink but interlaced with crimson-gold patterns resembling molten lava, formed from congealed blood-fire. The jagged crimson gold mountain patterns foretold its authority to move mountains and fill seas!

The formidable halberd head and robust halberd body greatly satisfied Li Yelai, especially upon the moment of spiritual connection, an intimate sensation, as if making the arm one seamless, instantly surged through his body!

In wielding it, there was no longer even the slightest hesitation, only an exhilarating ease, as the halberd blade pointed wherever his heart willed.

If only Li Yelai had not yet ascended to Overlord, had not yet acquired Divinity to employ the 'Earth Shaping Heavenly Palace' ability.

Now, just a swing of the long spear could alter mountains and rivers, churn the earth veins!

"Little wonder so many strong humans yearn for the creations of Master Mo Hai. Once you've used it, you don't want to go back to other weapons." Li Yelai swung the long spear in his hand, the brief acclimation had made him fully familiar.

"It's good to be satisfied, after my infusion and material integration. You should be able to unleash over 40% of the Earth Shaping Heavenly Palace's power," Master Mo Hai laughed.

"Thank you!" Li Yelai expressed his gratitude.

Ordinarily, Spiritual Ability Equipment could only exert 30% of its power. Reaching three and a half was already master level.

This alone spoke volumes of how superior Master Mo Hai's skills were.

Upon witnessing the abilities demonstrated by Master Mo Hai, Li Yelai reminded, "Master, is your ability 'Near and Far'?"

"You actually recognized it?" Mo Hai nodded, "Indeed, a champion, it is one of those particularly rare abilities. Even among the Mo Family, not many know of this ability."

After thoughtful consideration, Li Yelai said, "Please be cautious; it is best not to let the outside know about your ability."

Li Yelai had once seen this ability on He Lan, who had acquired it by plundering from other strong figures through the Heavenly Usurping Cage.

The immensely convenient spatial movement ability left a deep impression on Li Yelai.

In the end, He Lan died at the hands of Li Yelai. In effect, he paved the way for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai thus obtained his Mythical Mimicry·Qilin.

But what if there was no such 'variable' as Li Yelai?

He Lan might really have been able to successfully seize another potent ability.

Or perhaps... become someone else's pawn!

Divine Protection's Near and Far, Wanxiang's Mimicry·Qilin, True Martial's Reverse Heavenly Person, spiritual eyes' Water Moon Mirror Flower.

In the Book Holder's plan, some of these abilities may be designated to certain potent individuals.

Only that, midway, Li Yelai, this 'variable,' intercepted it.

They might act once again to restart this plan.

The Master Mo He with Near and Far must remain vigilant.

Master Mo Hai nodded silently after some thought.
