Netherworld Retrograde

The power that belongs to the Divine was imitated and intercepted by this world's miracle in some way.

The vast faith that was supposed to rush towards Chaos Supreme Heaven was diverted and stored by these artificial creations, becoming nourishment for the Great Divine Power Users.

And within this faith from the Blood God believers, it contained an extremely intense and pure will of violence and slaughter.

The power of faith indeed allowed the Great Divine Power Users to rapidly increase in strength, not only speeding up the condensation of their unique great divine skills but also efficiently restoring consumed divinity. Yet, this power is not without cost, as the Great Divine Power User's will is continuously influenced by the collective emotions contained in the faith.

Especially the faith from Chaos believers, inherently derived from extreme and fanatical doctrines, makes this faith more erosive and destructive. This accumulated over thousands of years, the massive violent faith is constantly trying to assimilate the holder of the miracle.

Originally, this was not considered a flaw for the Chaos camp, as the Blood God Chosen One becoming more violent and bloodthirsty—can this be called a problem?

They only fear you are not violent enough! Isn't the Blood God Chosen One's violent point just right?

But for Ye Lai, this truly became a somewhat significant nuisance.

He clearly felt that his temper had become much more irritable and explosive. Just now, when dealing with that extraordinary giant tiger, he even didn't want to use a weapon, choosing instead to smash it with his fists!

It seemed that only by bathing in the enemy's hot blood could he temporarily vent that unfamiliar and intense ferocity surging in the depths of his heart.

"Is faith this kind of thing?" Ye Lai wiped off the bloodstains on his hands, looked down at his clothes stained with the beast's blood, and sighed helplessly: "It's hard to control... Perhaps it's truly a scepter that only a God can wield. I really don't know how the Divinities can endure this feeling."

"But do these true Divinities have to endure this influence all the time as well? Are the so-called Divinities a collective embodiment of faith, or have they long been completely twisted primal existences by faith?"

"We have too little research on this, but there is a conjecture..." The Little Mad King took out a towel, attempted to wipe Li Ye's clothes, hesitated for a moment, then decided to just let Li Ye change into a new set: "The 'restricted area order' maintained by the Kings of the Restricted Zone might essentially be an extended application of some kind of refined and controlled power of faith."

"In some civilizations, Kings are seen as demigods, perhaps because they can control the power of faith? But my grandfather never mentioned anything like this to me, maybe due to too large a gap in status level, or there may be other reasons?" The Little Mad King responded after pondering: "But I can be sure, my grandfather was never influenced by any will."

"Although the miracle is viewed as a 'false foundation', it unexpectedly possessed part of the power of a 'throne', huh?" Li Ye muttered to himself, frowning slightly. With regards to this conjecture, he could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Inside Giant City, there indeed didn't exist any overt worshipers or religions dedicated to the Old Mad King. Yet nearly everyone, from warriors to civilians, firmly believed that the Old Mad King was the pillar that kept human civilization from collapsing.

This nearly absolute trust and reliance, could it possibly... be another form of faith itself?

If they could successfully bring this miracle out of this world, perhaps it could allow the Kings of the human camp to study it, gaining inspiration regarding the application of the power of faith.

After all, Ye Lai himself was still far from becoming a King, not even yet a truly divine being.

Wait...

He suddenly realized a possibility he had overlooked, which was that he truly could "be"!

In his future body, in that projection originating from the Heroic Spirit Sea, wasn't there a legitimate King?!

Thinking of this, Li Yelai no longer hesitated. After swiftly changing into clean clothing, he immediately invoked the power of the Heroic Spirit Sea.

Simultaneously, the newly acquired divinity within him, which he wasn't yet fully acquainted with, was instantly consumed by more than half, like a flood being released!

The astonishing consumption speed caused Li Yelai to uncontrollably exclaim, "Damn!"

Oh dear, since he just "borrowed" the divinity of Overlord level, did even summoning a heroic spirit become so extravagant?

However, the huge consumption brought corresponding rewards. He could clearly feel that the heroic spirit summoned this time had a presence and power fluctuation stronger than at any time before!

As a touch of green flames burst into existence, the Dawn Monarch, clad in white robes and black armor, emerged through the fire.

Upon his appearance, his gaze immediately fell on the Little Mad King, nodding slightly in acknowledgment: "We meet again, Hunting King. It seems the safety of the main body still rests on your diligent concern."

Meanwhile, the Champion Cloak moved without wind, fluttering loudly.

The figure of the King of Candle Night silently materialized, his eyes seeming to hold the sun and moon's cycles. He also nodded to the Little Mad King and said: "Salute to you, Blade of Revenge."

"Just call me Little Mad King." The Little Mad King shook her head slightly.

Although Candle Night and Dawn resembled Li Yelai very much in appearance, they ultimately were not her partners.

Moreover, she was not accustomed to being called the Hunting King or Blade of Revenge, regardless of the great achievements made in the other timelines. At least currently, she herself was just an Overlord.

Candle Night, not minding, used a hoarse voice to tease Li Yelai: "Quite a chance to summon me in broad daylight. So, it's just for an experiment?"

However, in the next moment, Candle Night seemed to detect something abnormal and frowned, then looked towards the sky.

Or rather, he gazed at the sun hanging high in the sky.

The sun and moon shadow in his eyes momentarily turned still and flickered. At that instant, the sky seemed to dim briefly before returning to normal.

"This 'sun' not... this star is quite peculiar." He slightly furrowed his brows.

Originally planning to inquire about Dawn Monarch's insights regarding the miracle and the power of faith, considering he was once a King-level entity and might have unique viewpoints, Li Yelai was stunned upon hearing this: "The sun? Is there a problem?"

Candle Night's mythical mimicry is the Candle Dragon, eyes open for day, closed for night.

His perception of celestial bodies like the sun and moon might have some effect.

"This star... is too perfect." The King of Candle Night's gaze remained fixed on the sun in the sky dome: "So perfect it... doesn't seem like a natural creation. Moreover, the fluctuations it emits give me a very incongruous feeling. It's entirely different from any other 'sun' I've ever seen."

"How many suns have you seen?" Dawn inquired.

"Each Forbidden Zone is an independently twisted space, with internal rules different, and the starry sky and 'sun' observable are completely different from our primary world." The King of Candle Night briefly explained: "Back then, I traversed through numerous Forbidden Zones to meet the anomaly requirement of 'Sun and Moon Shining Together', I'd seen various strange 'celestial bodies'"

"But this one... just has an indescribable oddity. Its very existence bears an unspeakable discordance."

Candle Night pondered and said: "Or rather, it's artificial?"

Dawn grinned broadly: "Not necessarily human!"
