Netherworld Retrograde

Clearly there is Chaos Faith, yet there is no Fifth God, the Master of Green Flames.

What, this world practices discrimination too?

That shouldn't be. As a Chaos Chosen, from the records inside the Chaos Faction, and from the accounts of Green Flame Chosen One like Yun Yue, Chu He and the others, Li Yelai knew that—

He'd learned that the faith of the Master of Green Flames spreads and radiates extremely fast, and it accelerates along with the spread of despair.

The more despair a world has, the more likely it is to catch the eye of the Master of Green Flames.

Just like the world Li Yelai came from, where the Forbidden Zone and Giant City confront each other, Humans have to face a whole bunch of Alien Race Civilizations at once. Plus Chaos playing the shit-stirrer, which in turn attracted the gaze of the Master of Green Flames.

Of course, due to that racial-cleanliness obsession, the despair of Alien Races is none of His business. He might even shoot an arrow at them.

Really is hard on Him, brawling with the Four Gods on one side and still having to look toward all kinds of worlds on the other.

And now this so‑called "core" world is basically a civilization battle royale; the situation facing Humans is extremely grim. In theory, the Master of Green Flames should be casting His gaze down here.

If there were Human powerhouses like the Ranger here to help as well, the situation would probably be much better.

"Could it be because of this Void Realm? While locking down all advancement paths, it's also blocking out the gaze of the Master of Green Flames?" the Little Mad King asked.

"No. The Master of Green Flames may not be one of the old Four Gods, but His power is terrifying, and He's also opened up the Chaos Supreme Heaven deep in the Void Realm. It's not very likely something like that could happen..." Li Yelai paused. "No need to think about it for now. Later, we can try having the Dawn Monarch draw the gaze of the Master of Green Flames."

Li Yelai might not be a Green Flame Believer, but one of his Future Bodies, the Dawn Monarch, is a bona fide Green Flame True Monarch. From the perspective of the Forbidden Zone, that's basically a Green Flame Demigod.

If he's the one to attract the gaze of the Master of Green Flames, and if they could develop an organization similar to the Ranger, it would bring some benefits to this world.

Besides, Li Yelai still has the Green Flame Arrow. When the time comes, he'll let these Alien Races get a good look at a tiny taste of green flame shock.

After that, Li Yelai mulled over the current situation.

The spread of that Crimson Curse is forcing all the civilizations to slaughter each other over living space.

Then, who knows which civilization came up with a prophecy, saying that only when there is only one civilization left in this world can the curse dissipate. The intensity of the war skyrocketed.

And at a glance, it reeks of Deceit Dao style.

All in all, even with Heroes making a move, it's hard to shelter Humans.

cities destroyed, Heroes fallen.

Wanfeng City is just such a case. It used to be the strongest in combat power among many cities. The whole populace are soldiers; once their own front lines weren't enough to fight on, they went to other Battlefields to help.

But as the fierceness of the war intensified, the previous generation of Heroes died in battle, while the new successor hadn't even condensed Great Divine Power before being seriously injured again.

At present, the position of Hero is vacant.

Plus, with the Crimson Curse coming closer, they had no choice but to retreat back to Law City in the rear.

Even the Miracles are being relocated.

The other cities, more or less, are in similar situations.

Especially in recent years, the Crimson Curse has been spreading faster and faster.

The situation for Humans is steadily deteriorating...

Admittedly, as long as Humans hold the core region and use the Crimson Curse to kill off the other Alien Race Civilizations, that is one way.

But that prophecy is way too fishy. Who can be sure that when there's only one civilization left, the curse will really dissipate?

Sounds more like the start of another round of conspiracy.

"In that case, the other 'Tokens' are probably those Alien Races' identities." Li Yelai analyzed. "They're here to assist the Alien Races in wrecking Humanity. That's some professional opposition, and with the arrogance of those Forbidden Zone Nobles, I'd bet they've already started seizing power."

"Then what should we do?" the Little Mad King asked. "Go pick up a Miracle inheritance seat first?"

Even though in this Void Realm Divinity is locked, the Little Mad King is, in the end, an Overlord Level powerhouse. And as a warrior of Wanfeng City, there's nothing wrong with her going to inherit a Miracle.

"If we can, that'd be ideal, but it's not good for you to act alone," Li Yelai replied.

If they could obtain the identity of a Human Hero, that would also be a good thing.

But for a Four Awakenings powerhouse to suddenly advance to Sixth Sense Peak and be capable of inheriting a Miracle is just too out of the ordinary.

It would definitely arouse suspicion and vigilance from the high‑ups of the cities.

Especially the Little Mad King's curse... if Li Yelai isn't at her side, it'll be hard to gain their trust.

As for Li Yelai, his current identity is a Civilian—a Civilian with no Spiritual Energy—suddenly becoming Sixth Sense Peak would be even more absurd.

If he can gain their trust, then Li Yelai can borrow the Overlord position...

As a Human Champion who is already invincible in his tier, even if it's borrowed power, he'd still be invincible among Overlords!

In the current environment, that would make him the absolute peak of combat strength.

"We'll have to plan this carefully. But before that, there's another angle we can work from." Li Yelai said, as an idea formed in his mind.

...

On the other side, once people noticed that the new teammate "Jiang Ling" (the Little Mad King) and that Civilian from Team Three (Li Yelai) had been staying in a room together for a long time—and had even started going in and out together—this news instantly became gossip many Human powerhouses in the Law Building chewed over with relish in their downtime.

One is a female warrior from Wanfeng City, with a sharp, aggressive air.

The other is a seemingly gentle, frail Civilian from Law City.

This combo is inherently full of talking points. The two of them, who originally should have had a huge cultural gap leading to estrangement or even conflict, unexpectedly seem to be showing a completely different trend—one of "fusion."

After all, the cultural difference between Wanfeng City and Law City is like heaven and earth.

Wanfeng City worships absolute martial prowess and conquest; from the moment its citizens can lift a weapon, the main theme of their lives becomes battle and slaughter.

Law City, on the other hand, is a city where everything must operate within the framework of codes and order. Especially the Civilian staff, who revere rationality, logic, and rules; every action must conform to Law.

This leads to frequent conflicts and estrangement after citizens from Wanfeng City immigrate to Law City.

Now, this can actually be counted as good news.

"Obviously it's someone from Wanfeng City who's hardly seen cultured people. She's just curious."

"That's my Wanfeng City warriors for you, bold in love and hate, okay?"

"Maybe it's that Civilian—good‑looking—and that warrior just happens to be into that type?"

"Huang, what do you think?" A Civilian patted his colleague.

The Civilian called Huang seemed to wake from a dream and nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, he operated the equipment, using the Silver Balance to trigger Law and granted passage to a logistics convoy.

This convoy, with the help of his companions, would pass through checkpoints step by step and enter the logistics department of the Law Building—which is right here!

After finishing all that, his gaze swept across the Law Hall.

Looking at the companions he'd worked with for over ten years, a trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes, but in the end it turned into resolve.

"For my Lord, for the Divine Chosen!"

"Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, Skulls to the Throne!"

(Sorry for the delay, my wife's grandfather fell and passed away, I had to help.)
