Netherworld Retrograde

After finalizing the plan against Lou Su, Li Ye Lai peacefully waited in the camp for the prey to take the bait.

Within the Chaos Faction, only a few Demon Generals and the Divine Chosen knew Li Ye Lai's identity. The rest of the Legion and the elite were unaware of Lord Di Yun and the Human Champion's true identities.

Under such circumstances, the malice and fear they displayed towards the Human Champion were genuine.

Thus, these days, Li Ye Lai methodically commanded each legion, strategizing the ruins.

He even found some living natives, but to call them natives now was an exaggeration, as they had degenerated tremendously.

One couldn't tell what calamity they had suffered; the snake-men, giants, Night Demons, Bone People, and several other races that once developed remarkable civilizations indeed still lived on this continent. But both their size and intelligence seemed to have undergone some changes, as if all their wisdom and inheritance had been half-cleansed.

Currently, they only existed in a tribal civilization, and even more so, like the giants and giant dragon civilizations, had become akin to wild creatures.

Let alone resisting the attacks of Chaos and the Forbidden Zone, they couldn't even open the ruins at their own doorstep.

Perhaps, after a few hundred or thousand years, when their civilization rises again, they might be able to gain their ancestors' legacy from the ruins and enter a phase of technological explosion, potentially restoring to their former peak.

But unfortunately, the various factions that have now arrived in this Land of Opportunity have completely cut off their hopes.

Before they could rise and prosper, they met destruction.

Therefore, Li Ye Lai, through the Chaos Faction, also collected the heritage of various native civilizations and the rare extraordinary creatures, giants, and giant dragons.

Through the study of the relics' literature,

Li Ye Lai discovered that the giant and giant dragon civilizations once fiercely contested.

During their conflicts, other civilizations weren't even as advanced as wild men, and humans during that period were pitifully bullied by anyone.

In the end, the giant dragons were defeated by the giant civilization and were driven out and exiled. The giants became the new overlords, only to be shattered by the rising Bone People.

And the Bone People seemed to have perished at the hands of the Night Demons, who then were overthrown by some unknown civilization. The snake-men then overthrew that civilization, annihilating them entirely. And then, humans rebelled against the snake-men?

The cyclical civilization switch of your turn to sing and my turn to appear is truly rare.

But why is there also a record of Night Demons fighting giants? Humans also fought Bone People?

Did all these civilizations once coexist?

Li Ye Lai couldn't figure it out and felt that the records were contradictory.

What gave him a hint of fear was the fate of those civilizations. They used various means to preserve their flame.

But ultimately, their civilizational flame was reshuffled. Although alive, they had completely lost all inheritance.

This is even more terrifying than humanity's experience during the catastrophe period.

Though humanity's technology was fragmented and population drastically reduced, and they hid within the Giant City, at least the fragmentation wasn't outrageous. They were reborn in destruction, maintaining a delicate balance.

But these civilizations... were completely wiped out.

It's equivalent to humanity directly reverting to the caveman stage. Even if they were handed civilizational legacies, they wouldn't understand it.

Cavemen, with the research blueprints of hypersonic intercontinental missiles, could only use them as firewood...

This regression is too terrifying. All the arrangements of their civilizational ancestors completely invalidated...

What kind of power is this?

Why are historical records so bizarre?

And during this time, Li Ye Lai didn't stay idle, continuing to use heritage to feed the Substitute Injury Amber. Quite a variety of amber was fed out.

He then cut a red-veined orange amber into five parts, giving one part to the Little Mad King.

He himself picked up a Node Amber, taking advantage of its softening, and polished it into an arm guard.

The finished product was a yellow amber bracelet with red veins.

Though it looked ordinary, its hardness was extremely high after it finished softening.

In the absence of weapons, it could be used to block attacks.

This was also the reason Li Ye Lai used it as an arm guard.

And the Little Mad King polished her piece into a bracelet.

But after learning its specific effects, she frowned and said, "It only transfers damage to me? Doesn't that mean it can't help you reduce damage, but only burdens you?"

"How is it a burden, partner? I'm the Eternal Chosen One, and I also have the Abyss Dragon Armor with its damage-absorbing ability. Naturally, I'm the best target for sharing ally damage."

Li Ye Lai explained, "From a certain perspective, it can help you reduce damage, and I can also quickly accumulate damage myself. Besides, as an assassin, you're likely to rarely get injured. It's also a means just in case."

"Actually, the most suitable person for this red Node Amber is Captain Yang Chen. His defensive power is unmatched, and he might not even mind taking the damage head-on. Sharing damage poses no pressure." Li Ye Lai said, "But we'll have to wait and adjust specifics when we're back."

The Little Mad King nodded slightly, no longer arguing, and added, "If only we could gain the damage reduction effect of the shared unit during damage reduction, it would be even better."

"That would be too heaven-defying, putting it on Captain Yang Chen would mean that whoever attacks me has to endure Yang Chen's countershock... Leaving the enemy unable to advance or retreat." Li Ye Lai smiled and shook his head. Then, he looked into the distance, "Speaking of which, Captain Yang Chen and the others should be arriving soon."

...

Meanwhile, over the sea.

A large number of commercial ships from the Human Giant City gathered and were conscripted, with numerous human strongmen heading to the sea area.

They confronted the Deep Sea Army of the Throat of Gui Xu and even the Chaos Army's fleet.

Originally, humans without fleets should have been at a disadvantage.

But as thousands of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers appeared on the sea surface, the light of the Coordinated Pulse Array Technique flickered above the fleet.

The gap was gradually bridged and even turned slightly advantageous.

The Throat of Gui Xu and the Chaos Fleet could only shout curses.

The Ancient Heavenly Court was the human civilization of the mythological era, so there's nothing to say about humans getting such technology. Who hasn't had their glorious days?

But the Coordinated Pulse Array Technique, it's truly absurd. The Forbidden Zone·Demon Abyss Mountain actually allowed humans to acquire this core technology?

This is the epitome of aiding the enemy, the most of the Forbidden Zone!

On the human fleet, Yang Chen calmly watched the opposing fleets and the Sea Beast Legion.

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound behind him and turned to look back: "Zhou Tian."

"Old Yang, the previous misunderstandings prevented me from reconnecting with you. I apologize for that." Zhou Tian Dominator cupped his fists and said.

"It's all in the past. It's the curse issue, nothing can be done." Yang Chen smiled.

"We indeed can't continue advancing unless we immediately go to war."

"Old Yang, the previous misunderstandings prevented me from reconnecting with you. I apologize for that." Zhou Tian Dominator cupped his fists and said.

"It's all in the past. It's the curse issue, nothing can be done." Yang Chen smiled.

"We indeed can't continue advancing unless we immediately go to war."
