Netherworld Retrograde

Xia Ming blurted out words that even left himself stunned.

This world is completely different from the historical trajectory of the world where Li Yelai resides. In the earliest records, humans were once a race enslaved by alien races. Even if civilization existed, it has long been completely lost. There is no rise and fall of ancient dynasties here, no legends of Investiture of the Gods, and no trace of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

However, he uttered this term that he himself did not know where it came from.

'One Qi Transformed into Three Pristine.'

Why would he say these words?

Xia Ming could confidently say that this was his first time encountering this term. As one of the most learned scholars in this world, from theoretical wonders to street-level tales, he had dabbled and was even proficient in them, yet he had never come across these words in any literature.

How did they appear in his mind?

Cognitive pollution?

Xia Ming frowned deeply and fell into contemplation. Could it be that outsiders... would bring cognitive erosion?

Li Yelai did not notice Xia Ming's peculiarity, his gaze fixed on Zhu Ye, in whose eyes the sun and moon rotated.

Zhu Ye nodded slightly and responded hoarsely, "Leave the front line to me. I am also a Champion... sure to be invincible under the heavens."

This statement was particularly fitting coming from him.

As Li Yelai of another timeline, he had gone through too many hardships: loved ones and family turned to scorched earth, the Giant City collapsed, his homeland fallen, and the once sky-supporting King finally died of exhaustion and old age. As a Champion, he bore the tattered battle banner, sheltering countless fellow humans in the dark times of the Forbidden Zone's revival, striking fear into the Forbidden Zone Creatures.

He refused the Four Chaos Gods' blessing—just a nod perhaps and he could become the Eternal Chosen One, but he was always the Human Champion. Ultimately, he died in a fierce siege, killing off the enemy King but failing to take that last step to ascend as King himself.

On the other side, the Dawn Monarch, rarely, collected his usual playful demeanor and became serious.

"Such deep despair... it seems we've reached the end of the road."

As a Green Flame Believer, he could keenly sense the emotion of despair. This is precisely why the Wilderness Rangers fight for justice.

Where despair pervades, injustice and oppression often hide.

Therefore, many of the guilty among the privileged died mysteriously, not knowing till death how they were exposed. Some were even simply smeared on walls.

In that timeline, Li Yelai, who became a Wilderness Ranger, had a dozen wanted posters on him within just a year.

"A doppelganger?" Hao Feng looked perplexed. Compared to the scholar Xia Ming, his sentiments seemed particularly simple: "Awesome!"

"This way, we can focus on three fronts simultaneously," Li Yelai responded.

"Although I don't know how you summoned such beings, can you... operate independently miles apart?" Xia Ming asked, keenly aware that both bears divinity and possess independent consciousness, a technology evidently hard to replicate.

"Of course, but the divine energy consumption will increase accordingly." Li Yelai replied, he had long tested this.

"Can you truly support the consumption of three Divine Beings? One miracle feeding three?" Xia Ming pressed on.

Hao Feng couldn't help but interject: "Speaking of, Champion, where did your miracle come from? I thought you needed the miracle of our Wanfeng City."

Xia Ming glanced at Hao Feng, "It's academic business, don't pry."

He somewhat understood some inner details. This Champion could usurp Chaos Power. Directly seizing control over other Divine Chosen's dominion of the Chaos Army.

Then 'tricking' away a miracle seems nothing surprising.

Li Yelai nodded calmly.

Divinity exhausted? Just use Divine Favor. Anyway, it's free to plunder divinity from the Chaos Gods.

With this, Xia Ming had no more objections. He was initially worried about Li Yelai overestimating himself, being overwhelmed by his doppelgangers. Since both major issues are resolved, he wished Li Yelai would summon more Heroic Spirits.

In fact, employing Heroic Spirit Sea tactics was precisely Li Yelai's plan.

Since the enemy was wary of the Human Champion, let them remain vigilant. Zhu Ye could attract most of the attention, whereas he would deliver the fatal blow to the alien race from behind as "Emperor's Fall."

Just ask, isn't the King of Candle Night a Champion? Am I Li Yelai not Emperor's Fall?

Even standing before the Heart Inquiry Sword, Li Yelai could boldly claim this!

With the plan settled, the four left the Wanfeng City frontline, each heading to different battlefields.

Before parting, Dawn suddenly spoke up, "My Master has descended."

"Who has come?" Li Yelai was initially stunned and then realized. The "My Master" Dawn mentioned naturally referred to the Master of Green Flames he believed in.

"He has descended?" Li Yelai thought, now there's backing! The Master of Green Flames personally taking action, even if it's against another Chaos Evil God, they'd have to think it through!

"Consider it a descent upon the Supreme Heaven... but, it feels a bit strange..." Dawn frowned, "And you mentioned before, this world originally didn't have My Master, only those four old Evil Gods."

"You mean, the descending Master of Green Flames is not the true entity, but like Blood God and the others... a 'fake'?"

"True or false notwithstanding, I indeed should call Him my Master. But what's certain is He appeared only after you entered this world." Dawn responded.

"Because of our appearance..." Li Yelai linked to the 'First King' of the Sea of Time. He similarly manifested only after Zel and the others entered this world.

Originally thought to require bloodline inheritance, now it seems, perhaps it weighs more on 'causality'.

Li Yelai indeed carries sufficient dense Green Flame causality.

He carries the Green Flame Arrow, a blessing from the Master of Green Flames.

His Future Body is even a Green Flame True Monarch, comparable to a Prince of Chaos.

Could it be that with Green Flame Believers, there is then a Master of Green Flames? Fruit preceding cause? Doesn't that reverse the Heavenly Gang?

This might be the reason that mechanical giant structure attempted to block him.

Unwilling to let the Master of Green Flames manifest.

After all, if humans received the blessing of the Master of Green Flames, it would only be more troublesome for the mechanical giant structure harboring malevolence towards humans.

The Master of Green Flames harbors an extreme racial purity ideology. Unless you're human, even prior faith doesn't stand a chance.

"Can you ask for His help?" Li Yelai asked, "For instance... bestowing Divine Favor?"

"We Green Flame Chosen Ones don't have the concept of Divine Favor. The blessing and power acquired depend on the dire strait faced. Only by rising up and resisting the dire situations can one unleash the greatest power."

"Besides, 'My Master' is currently fighting intensely in the Supreme Heaven, likely unable to assist."

"You have a chance, just grab a random Chaos Divine Chosen Mask, you should be able to feel the chaos in Supreme Heaven."
