Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 526: Chapter 247: Conjecture_2

And among the sub-branches, there were at most a few Sixth-sense Experts, with no chance of victory in a direct confrontation.

Thus, Fen Xiao had allied with the Divine Chosen of the Main Base to prepare for the implementation of a certain plan.

Originally, he was in direct contact with Red Fury and Xue Yin, but with their deaths, communication shifted to Li Yelai. After all, Li Yelai had inherited their massive legacy.

What a good turn of events!

Just watch, I’ll sell you all out!

Li Yelai thought, and immediately revealed a smile, ”Since this is a promise made by Red Fury and the others, I naturally will not decline. After I return to the Main Base and understand the specific situation, I will contact Fen Xiao for you, send my regards to him.”

”Yes, Lord Di Yun,” the female believer saluted again, stepped back a few steps, then turned and left.

As the reinforcements from the various sub-branches and strongholds began their retreat, the members at Li Yelai’s gathering spot also started to prepare for evacuation.

The numerous prisoners and materiel obtained from the Eternal Life Faction were all to be taken to the Main Base.

This gathering spot had been discovered by Ye Boshou, no longer safe, and thus retreat was necessary.

Li Yelai had no objection to this, in fact, he was quite looking forward to returning to the Main Base to open their eyes.

At the same time, Li Yelai also began analyzing the possibility of becoming the Chosen of the Double Gods.

He first had servants bring over some of the Church’s records, claiming he wanted to understand the development of the Ember Church over the years. But in truth, he wanted to see if there had ever been cases of individuals chosen by multiple divinities in history.

Afterwards, Li Yelai returned to his room to inspect these resource records.

It had to be said, having support behind you does make a difference.

The influence of the Ember Church spanned across the world.

Every Giant City housed their believers.

Over the years, many powerful figures had emerged.

They had even managed to summon powerful incarnations of Chaos and even Great Demons of King Level through sacrifices.

Creating various tragedies in the Physical World.

Among these, Li Yelai discovered that there indeed seemed to have been cases in the history of the Ember Church where someone was favored by multiple divinities.

It was five years after the outbreak of the Calamity that a human strong warrior gained the pity of three Chaotic Gods at once.

His bravery in battle earned the Blood God’s commendation, his artistic-like command talent received Jile’s gift, and his pursuit of the mysterious drew the attention of the Deceit Dao.

Then... he died, killed by the King of the Restricted Zone.

Nobody knew if at that time, he was still considered a human or a Chaos Divine Chosen.

Besides that, there were no further records of someone being chosen by multiple gods.

’No more information? Do I really need to say that all things will decay but all beings are indestructible?’ Li Yelai thought, ’The Blood God should notice, right? This kind of skirting around is something I need to avoid...’

If he could receive the Eternal Life Faction’s ultra-fast regeneration blessing, Li Yelai’s battle power could still increase further.

However, considering that he was currently in the Blood God Sect’s camp, rashly making contact with other Chaotic Deities...

Perhaps... the believers of the Blood God Church would have some objections.

So, Li Yelai did not attempt it. At least not now, he wasn’t ready to sever ties with the Blood God Sect just yet.

He procured many investigations regarding the Eternal Life Faction, as well as internal scriptures and doctrines of the Faction, and began his research.

Though called the Father of Plague, this deity actually seemed more like a God of Life.

Of course, His understanding of life was different from that of humans.

Death for humanity signified parting and eternity, even the Taboo Item Nether River Horn could only bring the dead back to life temporarily.

But in His doctrine, death and decay were also a part of life.

Thus, the Eternal Life Faction could both nurture life and spread plague.

Li Yelai’s personal Calamity, which they referred to as the plague of fate, was also why He had turned His gaze upon him.

Of course, if Li Yelai’s guess wasn’t wrong, whether he became the Divine Chosen wasn’t really necessary.

It was just a status, after all.

The real condition was, witnessing!

He needed to witness once, the stature of becoming the Eternal Chosen, before he could mimic it with the blank mask.

Just like the Blood God Chosen One, Li Yelai normally held the identity of the Blood God Chosen One but didn’t possess the Blood God’s blessing.

And for Red Fury and the others, they were always in a state of blessing.

Li Yelai could only obtain the power of blessing and become a complete Divine Chosen when he activated the Face.

The key was still the Face...

”So, the only doubt is whether I can use the same blank mask to mimic it,” Li Yelai thought. After killing Black Umbrella, he had obtained another blank mask.

Now, he had four different masks, each from a different path.

The Spiritual Eyes Path, Xiang Yu.

The Netherworld Path, Huo Qubing.

The True Martial Path, Li Yuanba.

The Path of Zero, Bai Qi!

After that, came two blank masks, either of which could temporarily transform into a Divine Chosen Face.

Once Li Yelai removed it, the mask would instantly revert to being blank.

It wouldn’t fix a permanent face, which made Li Yelai’s mind wander.

If Li Yelai continued to freeload and really became Chosen of the Double Gods or even more...

Then he might not have enough masks.

But if one blank mask could become a Blood God Chosen One and also become an Eternal Chosen One, then there would be no pressure.

”I must keep a blank mask... Otherwise, I won’t be able to transform into a Divine Chosen.” Li Yelai thought. He didn’t know how many masks he could have at most.

But having killed so many Fifth Sense experts on the battlefield, Mr. Shadow, busy showing off, didn’t even give Li Yelai a glance.

Only after killing the Sixth Sense, Black Umbrella, did he produce a mask.

The difficulty of obtaining a new mask was too great.

According to the previous estimates, the next mask would probably require the killing of an overlord?

Damn, an overlord... The gap was just too big.

But from another perspective, of the seven paths of Spiritual Ability Users, he already had the power of four, plus his own Wanxiang, making it five paths.

Perhaps, with two more masks, he would reach the peak.

Counting them, as long as he killed another overlord and a Supreme, he would have done it... Tsk!

Li Yelai clicked his tongue and then hummed a little tune.

The next second, a beautiful silhouette emerged from the shadows.

The Little Mad King stepped out from the shadows and picked up a book of doctrine in front of Li Yelai, glancing over the various sacrilegious rituals and doctrines.

She frowned, her pretty eyebrows knit tightly, and said carefully, ”You should not read such things. I worry that this extreme doctrine could affect your mind. It could become the thunderstorm during your ascension.”

”From the state of your previous ascensions, you are not invulnerable to being twisted, you still need to be careful... my teammate.”

Li Yelai nodded; he was very aware of this.

He might deceive Chaos to become a Divine Chosen, but if his own nature became distorted, there would be nowhere to reason it out.

”Now, you’re just one step away from the Fifth Sense. As long as you can find a suitable Ancient Dragon Ball, you’ll be able to ascend to the Fifth Sense,” said the Little Mad King.

”Yes, but if I really can’t find an Ancient Dragon Ball, I won’t drag this out for too long. Even without mutation, the original Mimic Dragon Soul is strong enough,” Li Yelai said. ”If I’m too demanding and it takes too long, and I can’t hold on momentarily to get through this, it would be troublesome. With my bad luck, I’d probably end up with some ridiculously weak ability.”

The Little Mad King paused and then continued, ”Afterward, we’ll need to head to the Main Base. With my strength, it’s not enough to stealthily infiltrate the heavily defended Main Base without being detected.”

Although the Little Mad King was an Assassin Master, the Main Base of the Blood God Sect was full of experts, even Overlords, not to mention many defenses and anti-infiltration measures.

If Li Yelai wanted to enter the Main Base, the Little Mad King figured it would be very difficult to sneak in and assist him.

By then, if Li Yelai wanted to enter the ark, there would be no one to cover for him.

”It’s okay, I won’t stay in the Main Base for too long; just hide yourself well outside,” said Li Yelai.

”That’s not good, it’s too dangerous for you,” the Little Mad King pondered. ”We need to think of a way... to sneak in.”
