Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 938: Chapter 445: After the Revision

Perhaps it was the sudden collision of three forces of Chaos, or the horrifying impact of the Corpse Nuclear Explosion.

Li Yelai’s consciousness continued to descend at that instant.

He could faintly hear sounds from the outside. He knew his colleagues were protecting him from danger.

But he couldn’t open his eyes, nor could he respond in any way.

As his consciousness gradually sank, he heard countless abhorrent whispers.

In the endless murmurs, his consciousness seemed to be dragged into an abyss without end.

Every whisper attempted to erode and sever his reason and will.

Those voices, with an irresistible magic, echoed repeatedly in his mind.

“Give up…” they whispered, “You cannot resist this power, join Chaos, become one of us.”

“What is He Lan but a mere thing? You should be the great being above all living beings!”

“Our master will grant you endless power and pleasure, you’ll attain extraordinary skills and reach the pinnacle!”

“What are you holding on to?”

“Call upon our master, respond to our master!”

“You are about to die, respond to our master! Hurry! Are you waiting to die?”

The power of the Heartless Fruit continued to corrupt his mind, seemingly intending to complete the Ascend Demon within the coma, making Li Yelai a true Jile Divine Chosen.

Jile represents all pleasure, not all believers pursue carnal desires.

Among the Jile Divine Chosen, there are no shortage of artists and philosophers.

Some are fond of gastronomy, even with a knife at their neck, they can’t stop.

Some are passionate about performing, the luxurious chapters they play captivate the Divine.

Some are obsessed with the desire to slaughter.

Different from Blood River believers who pursue glory, this is to satisfy one’s desires and find pleasure in slaughter.

They will become artists on the battlefield, gaining endless inspiration.

At this moment, if Li Yelai no longer resists the erosion and lets go of reason, accepting everything.

Jile will grant him strength, he will become more perfect…

And the Jile Sect will provide him with all resources, fulfilling all his desires and ambition.

Li Yelai once thought he might have to make another deal with Mr. Shadow.

But soon, as a blood-red cloak appeared in his sight.

The eerie voices gradually faded away.

And instead appeared a young man clad in the Champion Cloak.

This startled Li Yelai’s gradually blurred consciousness, bringing some clarity. The young man was him.

No, that was him, but not entirely him… not the him of this spacetime.

The man wore armor, draped in a red cloak, holding a long spear, with a large sword strapped to his back.

His face was identical to Li Yelai’s yet appeared more mature and composed.

His eyes were steady and resolute, able to transform sun and moon, seemingly able to pierce through all illusions.

On his neck was a hideous scar, as if his trachea and artery were severed together.

That is… the Ninth Generation Champion of the Yunling Civilization timeline, King of Candle Night!

He was the true Human Champion!

As the Champion arrived on the battlefield, the civilians praised the Champion’s descent, hope gleamed in the exhausted eyes of soldiers, and Spiritual Ability Users anticipated the moment of counterattack!

The Human Champion had arrived on the battlefield, hence there was still hope for everything!

His very existence was a kind of inspiration, a kind of symbol!

He was so steady and reliable, holding a spear in one hand and a sword in the other. His cloak billowed behind him, striking fear into the enemies of humans!

He and Li Yelai walked a completely different destiny.

In a world without Mr. Shadow’s intervention, when facing Skin Stripping, he awakened as a Spiritual Ability User and slayed Skin Stripping with a Blood Blade.

However, that battle left him with indelible scars.

The wound from Skin Stripping’s throat slashing received timely official treatment, saving his life, but his voice became increasingly hoarse.

This change made him dislike speaking, gradually becoming reticent.

However, beside him was an enthusiastic girl.

As a senior member of the team, she seemed to become his mouthpiece, chattering non-stop, occasionally saying words that made his heart race.

She didn’t care for his silence, nor did she mind his hoarse voice.

She merely used her passion and vitality to influence him.

As time passed, their relationship became increasingly close. She started to become an indispensable part of his life.

‘You rogue, stealing a kiss on my lips with your neck?’

‘You saved me, I can only repay you with myself. If you don’t recite pi backward, I’ll take it as you’ve agreed.’

‘Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Xiao Yan.’

….

However, all the warmth was destroyed in a conspiracy.

He was the Human Champion, yet he couldn’t save his loved ones.

In that conspiracy, he and the warriors were trapped in the Secret Realm.

When he successfully broke out, he lost everything, home, family, lover… everything was gone. Nothing was saved…

Returning to his hometown, he could only see the desolated ruins and… two burnt corpses whose faces could no longer be recognized.

This was also Li Yelai’s nightmare, his effort to change fate was to rewrite all of this.

And at this moment, this Champion, this King of Candle Night. The mark on the Champion Cloak was activated.

As if crossing countless ages, he exchanged glances with Li Yelai.

In his eyes, Li Yelai saw grief and regret…

“You… shouldn’t be here… cannot, become me…” he emitted an extremely hoarse voice, like a broken tape, yet it carried endless power.
