Netherworld Retrograde

"Are they... as powerful as you?" Chang Hui's face was serious, deeply impressed by the strength of Li Ye Lai. The Little Mad King's battlefield assassination ability was indeed terrifying. If all the enemies were of this caliber, the pressure on the Human camp would be enormous. Seven Great Divine Powers... have directly overturned the balance between humans and alien civilizations.

"No, in a direct confrontation, I fear none of them. Even if they join forces, I am completely confident in crushing them all," Li Ye Lai said. "But their greater trouble lies in the forbidden knowledge and abilities they carry."

"Knowledge from different worlds?" Chang Hui asked, "What is the Forbidden Zone?"

Li Ye Lai briefly summarized the existence of the Giant City and the Forbidden Zone.

The other candidates were filled with emotion; the human situation in another world was not good either, with too many enemies, yet they still longed for that world.

Imagine it, in different worlds, across the distant Void Realm, human civilizations enduring hardships yet shining brilliantly, how romantic and reassuring this is.

But Chang Hui's face shifted slightly, he keenly detected the concealment in Li Ye Lai's words.

The existence of the Giant City and the Forbidden Zone seemed somewhat similar to the human city-states and alien civilizations of this world.

Yet Li Ye Lai's existence was not the top combat power of that world, such a Reversal Great Divine Power User wasn't top-tier?

The upper limit of that world's strength far exceeded this world!

This made him instantly understand everything!

The Void Realm where Li Ye Lai resided... wasn't locked! They didn't need to rely on miracles!

Perhaps others hadn't noticed, only those connected to the miracle could clearly feel the lock on the Void Realm. The advancement path for Spiritual Ability Users had been cut off!

Even with a miracle, it was merely a step beyond the extreme...

Li Ye Lai glanced at Chang Hui, sensing his change in expression, but didn't point it out.

Certain secrets needed to be discussed individually with Chang Hui, otherwise, letting people in this world realize the problems they faced, or even their falsehoods, would cause big trouble.

Then, Li Ye Lai asked, "Sir Chang Hui, as a Hero, do you know who is the strongest existence in this world?"

"In terms of level, it should be the Chaos Chosen you cut down," Chang Hui slightly raised his hand, laws surged, temporarily isolating the others' voices. "But since you've cut down two Chaos Chosen, you are the strongest in the world!"

Chang Hui unabashedly praised Li Ye Lai's strength, but his eyes were somewhat serious as well, "Yet in the minutiae of this world's history, one can detect the existence of certain figures..."

"Certain figures?" Li Ye Lai frowned. Are there many of them? Impossible.

"Perhaps," Chang Hui paused, "it might also be one person appearing under different identities, pushing the world's progress."

"Pushing..." Li Ye Lai inexplicably thought of the 'Book of Destiny.'

The Book of Destiny, isn't it said to push certain destinies and causes?

Damn, could it be that this world also has a Book of Destiny?

Li Ye Lai instantly felt discomfort and chills, how many of these destiny-modifying things could there be? Surely they don't exist in every world?

"Of course, this is our hypothesis. After all, in certain opportune moments, mysterious powerful beings appear. Whether raising a counter-flag under alien rule, tipping the scales in a war, or inspiring the construction of miracles."

Chang Hui paused and said, "As if from ancient times to the present, certain figures have been active at certain nodes, then disappeared from public view. Whether in the open or on the Dark Side... although not determinable, we've all sensed and hypothesized."

"I don't know if this hypothesis is correct, but if such a person truly exists, then their strength is unfathomable."

Chang Hui looked at Li Ye Lai and said, "As you know, before humans acquired the first miracle, they couldn't oppose the then-flourishing alien civilization. Human resistance was powerless in the face of Great Divine Power. Not everyone can reverse-strike Great Divine Power like you. What's more, under alien rule, humans were unable to produce many strong individuals, lacking knowledge and resources."

During the glory days of alien civilizations, the entire human race was treated as slaves or bred as food.

There even were cases of refining some kind of Secret Treasure with the blood and spirit of thousands of humans.

In that situation, even if humans had Spiritual Talents, growth was very difficult. Often, they would be captured and used as materials.

The Chaos Faith was developed and expanded among humans during this period.

The only good news is, these alien civilizations did not develop anything like 'restricted area order' to twist human bodies and minds.

This allowed humans to resist. Otherwise, like Forbidden Zone Humans, they would truly be doomed.

But being suppressed again and again was filled with bloodiness and violence.

Even if placed the Eighteen Rebel Kings and Sixty-four Smoke from the late Sui, they would only be suppressed by alien civilization at the time.

The alien civilization at that time was at its peak.

There was a massive power gap between the two sides that was insurmountable.

Yet, in such a situation, a group of human strong individuals raised the counter-flag, furiously killing alien Great Divine Powers, seizing the first 'miracle', thus opening up the situation.

Then, the various human resistance armies emerged one after another, nurturing strong individuals, snatching alien miracles, even building miracles.

Ultimately, they successfully overthrew the rule of alien civilization.

But the first hero, in the war, did not hesitate to sacrifice himself...and withdrew from the stage of history.

His existence remains difficult to understand; at that time, humans did not have a miracle, even Four Awakenings and Fifth Sense Spiritual Ability Users were rare. 'How' did he kill Great Divine Powers?

"Could he be someone like me... an outsider?" Li Ye Lai asked.

"He possessed Divinity, in records, his Divinity was as thick as mountains and seas," Chang Hui said.

"My companion also possesses Divinity, in this world, it can be considered a Great Divine Power. But she doesn't have a pedestal, so we need to avoid depleting the Divinity as much as possible," Li Ye Lai explained the difference between an Overlord and a Great Divine Power User.

"Indeed, Great Divine Power is not the limit of the physical world, but unfortunately, we can't see the path forward..." Chang Hui said wistfully. If this world's Void Realm were not sealed, human civilization could have been more brilliant, rather than being tormented by the Crimson Curse.

He shook his head with resignation, "It's been a thousand years of history, during which the construction of miracles, the establishment of dynasties, and the division into city-states all seemed to be driven by mysterious powerful beings. Ultimately, it's just a hypothesis... as the last similar occurrence was three hundred years ago, during the expansion war of a city-state. A strong figure emerged but suddenly sacrificed, also very powerful, with an unknown origin. Hence this speculation....and I'm not even a hundred years old."

The so-called expansion war is similar to Li Ye Lai's understanding of the establishment of the Giant City, compressing the alien civilization's sphere of influence.

Back then, it seemed to have appeared...

"I see..." Li Ye Lai pondered.

Currently, we can't rule out the possibility that the other party is a Book Holder of the Book of Destiny.

But now, if it truly is such an existence, living for a thousand years...well, Li Ye Lai didn't fully understand the lifespan of Divine Beings, unsure if a thousand-year lifespan is normal.

"If those things were indeed done by the same person, then they must hold strength beyond our comparison," Chang Hui said. "If only a hypothesis, then you are unmatched in the world!"

At this point, Chang Hui looked at Li Ye Lai, "Can you explain how you command the Chaos Army?"

When asked this question, his muscles slightly tensed.

Li Ye Lai didn't mind this, as it was the expected caution and vigilance. "In my world, I seized the Power of Chaos Chosen. From this perspective, I am the orthodox Chaos Chosen. More orthodox than them. Please keep this information concealed for me, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Seized?" Chang Hui still harbored some doubts but didn't delve deeper.

Again, if Li Ye Lai wanted to commit evil with his strength, he couldn't be stopped.

Therefore, Chang Hui unraveled the law, and the people present continued to discuss with Li Ye Lai.

But at a certain moment, Chang Hui's face changed. He sensed a presence nearing that his law couldn't detect.

Li Ye Lai, however, smiled, "Calm down, it's one of our own."

Because that cold scent was telling him his partner had returned.

The next second, the figure of the Little Mad King abruptly appeared beside Li Ye Lai.
