Netherworld Retrograde

"Advancing to Overlord." Li Yelai smiled. "As everyone knows, I'm only one step away from Overlord, just one opportunity that could come at any time. Saying that is appropriate and not abrupt."

"After all, it's something idealistic; no one can be sure of it. That indeed can dodge their gaze. After that, you showing up anywhere wouldn't be surprising." Yun Yue nodded.

"After that comes the appearance of the Opportunity. At that time, Champion Team One will spread the news that I, who am about to advance, have already gone to the Land of Opportunity to borrow it to advance. That way we can guide the walkers' movements." Li Yelai continued, "At the same time, Champion Team One will also set out and head to the Land of Opportunity."

"Plus the Ma Family and our Jing Family you invited, as well as the Rangers coming over. We'll just slam the door and beat the dogs! I only advanced to Sixth Sense not long ago—let me have a little blood to open my account." Jing Lin's eyes gleamed. A few days ago, he had finally advanced to Sixth Sense. His hands were itching badly.

"Speaking of which, we also have to thank Captain Yang Chen. Because of his 'good deeds', quite a few Families have come to learn from his experience; they can be counted as combat power too."

"But with so many people, we'll have too many eyes mixed in; walkers might take the chance to hide among them." Yun Yue reminded.

"Mm, that's the general plan, but the walkers will still be hiding in the dark. We still have to stay on guard." Li Yelai said, "In the Land of Opportunity, I'll make full use of the Chaos Army to heavily wear them down. You must make sure not a single one of them escapes!"

"Brother Lin, Yun Yue. The three of us will keep in touch through the ark at all times." Li Yelai said. "Chances like this are rare. We get to fish this time; next time they might not bite the hook."

"Don't worry, Ye." Jing Lin grinned. "I brought quite a few experts with me, and I even sweet-talked that Jing Liang into coming."

Yun Yue also nodded. "As long as we handle it properly, there will still be a chance. Destroying or sealing you is their top priority. Otherwise they'll never again be able to rewrite fate as they please. To hold a treasure like the Book of Destiny in their hands yet be unable to use it—that's more painful than killing them."

After they nailed down the operation, everyone went their separate ways.

...

On the other side, Wei Yang likewise received, as expected, the news that Rangers might be coming.

Though they were mortal enemies, the relatively young Wei Yang among the Twelve Earthly Branches hadn't actually crossed hands with the Rangers many times.

Before she grew up, the Rangers had already been defeated, long past their peak.

"Rangers... you could say we share the same origin. The early Rangers were all geniuses deduced by the Book of Destiny. In that era, they were indeed powerful. Without the Book of Destiny's support, we might not have been able to win.

After that, though, they stopped being dangerous. Many who should have become powerful Rangers had their fates altered—either they ended up becoming our people, or became powerhouses of other factions. Even though that old fox the Witness reacted and sheltered the remaining Rangers, they ultimately declined."

Wei Yang smiled. "Now they're only able to catch their breath by clinging to the thigh of a Chaotic God. Nothing to fear."

"We should still be careful, my lady. He is, after all, a Believer of that Fifth God—the very Fifth God who directly brings world-ending calamities." a Starborne Walker whispered.

Heavenly Destiny Walkers roam outside the world, coming into contact with countless secrets and obtaining powerful legacies unknown to others.

Naturally, they also acquire the records of certain civilizations.

In some distant spacetime, within some slice of Void Realm, there was a powerful civilization with a complete pantheon system.

The Divine sat high upon their thrones, mortals crawled on the ground, building grand altars and immortal temples for them. Their might surged like a tide, radiating across the surrounding worlds—campaigning, invading, annexing, unstoppable wherever they went.

Yet among the slaves they had raised, a small, unyielding green flame once ignited.

This faint Flame eventually spread into a sea of fire—mortal wrath sweeping across the Divine Country.

Idols toppled, Holy Temples collapsed, and even the boundless oceans boiled and burned for it. It was as if the entire Star Sea was going to be set ablaze!

But this pantheon civilization had deep roots and terrifying heritage. After enduring that baptism of blood and fire, they ultimately snuffed out this rebellious green flame by force.

Just as the embers of victory had yet to cool—

The doom of world-annihilation descended from Supreme Heaven!

It was an arrow that crossed dimensional barriers and ignored spacetime distance. It came from an unknowable, supreme height, pierced the Star River, tore apart the Void Realm, and in the instant before that civilization could even sense its existence, it erased this powerful civilization that had looked down on all realms.

That day, the mighty Divine Clan fell, and a vast world was destroyed.

Only some remnant Alien Race servants, or diluted bloodlines, survived in miserable flight.

In the end, after a long drift, they became a certain Forbidden Zone in this world.

"If he can't obtain it, he just destroys it—what an overbearing and willful God of Chaos." Wei Yang sneered at this. "Truly an Evil God."

"But now he's too far away, and besides, he still has to face the siege from the old Four Chaos Gods. In this world, there's no way he can do that again!"

Then Wei Yang said, "How goes the guidance task?"

"It's already begun. Once they reach the correct location, the Opportunity will appear in this world. However, the Chaos Faction seems to have discovered their tracks and is currently tailing them." the walker said.

"All of this was part of the plan. Emperor's Fall is definitely not going to miss this chance." Wei Yang's face was calm. "They were meant to shoulder the responsibility of guiding Emperor's Fall. It's all a part of the plan."

"Yes, which is why we didn't interfere." The Starborne Walker said. "And once the Opportunity appears, the nearest Giant City will be No.1 Border City. The Champion stationed in No.1 Border City will inevitably go to investigate or raid it."

"That will be the grave he chooses for himself... Divine Chosen Emperor Fall, multiple electors, Forbidden Zone Nobles, and us..." Wei Yang chuckled softly. "I hear he's a rather handsome man? If we can capture him alive, handing him over to Si Snake for experiments would be nice."

"Indeed, but the risk is too high; killing him should take priority. If we can completely cripple him, then we can consider capturing him." The Starborne Walker thought to himself that being caught and experimented on by Si Snake would be worse than death.

"Forget it. He is, in name, a Human Hero after all. Let's give him a dignified ending." Wei Yang said. "What about the other teams?"

"Their arrival times are roughly the same. There's no problem."

"Good." Wei Yang said. "When the time comes, keep your eyes wide open and remember that scene well. What a glorious death it will be..."

...

The next day, Li Yelai received a secret signal from Chaos.

"The caravan has boarded the ship!"

Perhaps to avoid attracting the Giant City's notice, the handover site for the ships was on a shoreline far from No.1 Border City.

The mixed caravan boarded two merchant ships and, in tacit agreement, broke away from the relatively safe trade routes at sea, instead heading toward the deep-sea region.

This immediately prompted the Chaos believers who were secretly following them to send out intelligence.

Thus, that very afternoon, news spread within No.1 Border City.

The Human Hero who had攻略了the Disaster Fog, Ninth Generation Champion Li Yelai, was about to advance to Overlord; his opportunity seemed to have arrived, and he had cut off all contact with the outside world.

This delighted the Spiritual Ability Families and Families here. They even began preparing congratulatory gifts.

The Hong Family was even preparing to host a grand celebration banquet for the Champion.

And they had no idea that the Champion they were eager to congratulate and look forward to—

Had already disguised himself and left the Giant City that very day.

On a certain stretch of coastline over forty kilometers from No.1 Border City, a man wearing a conical hat and cloak boarded a small boat, surrounded by several Scavengers.

The little skiff drifted out onto the sea.

Half an hour later, it reached a massive fleet.

And the moment the man stepped onto the flagship's deck, countless figures bowed their heads.

"We pay our respects to Lord Di Yun!"
