Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 475: Chapter 224: Found You, My Teammate

The skull on the altar was completely consumed by flame, sacrificed to the great Divine in the Void Realm.

Li Yelai also received his blessing and a new name.

This is what it means to be Divine Chosen, to walk the path of slaughter and be noticed by the Divine!

Believers of the Ember Church knelt devoutly below the altar, worshipping their Divine Chosen, welcoming their Divine Chosen.

Divine Chosen Emperor’s Fall!

And indeed, Li Yelai felt a bit surprised within.

The Blood River had indeed blessed him, enhancing his Spiritual Power Strength and revealing some information about Chaos, along with some forbidden knowledge.

No wonder some guys in the Ember Church were advancing so quickly; it seemed that all they needed was to offer a sacrifice to receive enhancement.

If it weren’t for the fact that the majority of the Withered skulls were burnt by Li Yelai, making them unusable for sacrifices,

Then Li Yelai might have reached the threshold of Fifth Sense with this sacrifice.

Even so, Li Yelai’s enhancement was not insignificant,

And what made Li Yelai happier was that he could still earn double wages, winning twice!

He vehemently exploited the blessing of the Blood River!

’Next time I kill an enemy, I’ll offer the skull to the Blood God and let Mr. Shadow show off the soul. Both big bosses treating just me, so thrilling!’ Li Yelai thought, ’I wonder if the other Chaos Gods can replicate this kind of sacrifice...’

There are five Chaos gods, and if he could ”witness” them again, maybe he could exploit their power and blessings as well.

Wonderful, so wonderful!

Li Yelai thought cheerfully, his face wearing a calm smile as he descended from the altar, approaching the two Divine Chosen.

”You can call me Emperor’s Fall,” Li Yelai said with a light laugh.

From then on, no one would doubt Li Yelai’s identity. With a name personally bestowed by the Divine Blood River, who would dare to question?

”Welcome, Emperor’s Fall,” Red Fury and Xue Yin smiled, though their eyes held some complexity.

Not because of strength—they were Sixth-sense Experts after all, so why would they worry about a Fourth Awakening? Even if he was Divine Chosen, they were too.

They knew what the bestowed name Emperor’s Fall represented, and couldn’t help having mixed feelings.

Li Yelai didn’t mind this and asked, ”What’s our next move? Shall we leave Extreme Cold Mountain Range first?”

”Yes, this place is right at the edge of the Forbidden Zone, we shouldn’t stay here too long,” Xue Yin said, ”We should leave as soon as possible.”

”As for afterwards, we’ll first stop by the nearest Church Branch to upgrade your equipment, allowing you to indulge in slaughter,” Red Fury said, ”And after that... Emperor’s Fall, would you be willing to go to Giant City?”

”Return to Giant City?” Li Yelai furrowed his brow, he hadn’t expected Divine Chosen to ask this question.

”Yes, you were once a member of Champion Team One of No.3 Border City. Although you have pledged yourself under our lord, Giant City is oblivious to this fact. In their eyes, you are still Ye Boshou, Night General of Champion Team One,” explained Red Fury.

Li Yelai frowned, ”Are you asking me to go undercover?”

Damn, Li Yelai had just gone undercover into the Ember Church, and now they wanted to send him back to pretend again? A double agent?

This made it safe, as Li Yelai could cooperate with the officials to eradicate the Ember Church’s network within Giant City entirely, killing them off.

However, Li Yelai’s plan to sabotage from within the Ember Church would be nullified.

He had become Divine Chosen and could access many of the Church’s secrets. He might even use the Church’s power to tackle the Forbidden Zone, but being a ”spy” no longer made this feasible.

Xue Yin interjected, ”There’s no need for that, if discovered it would be a loss too great. Why should we send a Divine Chosen to go undercover?”

”I just mentioned it in passing, that is after all Champion Team One,” Red Fury replied, ”Let’s leave it for later.”

Later, after the Church group had organized themselves, they started their journey back along the same route.

During this time, Li Yelai declined several believers’ offers to carry his luggage, walking and chatting casually beside Red Fury and Xue Yin.

Ember Church entered Snow Mountain relying on sacrifices.

It’s said that they intercepted a team from Black Origin City, killed one of its Sixth-sense Nobles, and used this team as a sacrifice.

Holding up their skulls continuously releasing a red flame, thereby entering Great Snow Mountain.

Of course, the altitude they could reach was similar to a lamplight; facing towering mountain ranges, they could only move around as well, making their journey slow.

”A team from Black Origin City... did you guys actually go to Black Origin City?” asked Li Yelai.

”No, something happened within the Heavenly Kingdom, didn’t it? An offshoot of Jade Blood Supreme died, so they dispatched a team to enter the Heavenly Kingdom,” Red Fury said with a smile, ”Unfortunately for them, they ran into us. Otherwise, we’d have had to try hunting for Human Spiritual Ability Users in the wilderness as sacrifices.”

Hunting humans... So, they planned to hunt Human Ye Boshou? What a suicidal plan!

Li Yelai sneered inwardly, his face just slightly nodding.

”Speaking of which, Emperor’s Fall. You were also once the Night General of Giant City, do you know who killed Mei Wu, the next champion said to be a Sixth-sense Spiritual Ability User who managed to escape after slaying her?” Xue Yin asked with interest, ”You were his teammate, do you know anything about him?”

”I’ve never heard of the Ninth Champion; maybe my rank wasn’t high enough,” Li Yelai responded.

Indeed, Li Yelai wasn’t lying, there was no Ninth Generation Champion in Team One.
