Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The tasks Blue City assigned to David all had a high survival rate, so although he encountered a lot of trouble along the way, through repeated battles, he had long since reached the level of a former Night City legend.

Furthermore, there were no rejection reactions during the process. There is a saying in Night City: there are no eternal legends in Night City.

It is precisely because the legend of Night City must have undergone a large number of cybernetic modifications that such modifications mean that the human nervous system can only bear a limited load of cybernetic components due to physical defects and rejection reactions of the cybernetic components. At the same time, a person's self-awareness is also affected by the body.

If too many prosthetics are transplanted, rejection reactions are very likely to occur, including not only physical rejection reactions, but also psychological rejection reactions.

This rejection gradually affects a person's mental state, eventually turning them into a cyberpsychotic. Such a person, like Li Huowang, cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, ultimately leading to loss of control and being killed by the terrorist mobile unit. This is why the legend of Night City will inevitably fall one day.

To mitigate rejection reactions, each person who has undergone a large-scale prosthetic transplant receives regular injections of immunosuppressants. However, immunosuppressants are not always effective and eventually become ineffective. When the immunosuppressants fail, it often marks the end of a legendary procedure.

However... there's a saying circulating in Night City...

Love is the best inhibitor.

Blue City was unaware of the plot of the mental world they were in, but Lano, who was monitoring them, finally realized that many of the settings in this world were quite similar to those in Cyberpunk: The Edge Walker.

David, however, should have embarked on the irreversible path of becoming a cyberpunk after his mother's death, ultimately becoming a legend before dying at Adam's hammer.

In his original destiny, he had once escaped from an out-of-control fate through intense emotions. In this world where everyone is emotional, love has become a precious emotion that can truly influence the material world.

The special community environment maintained by the Kitahara Group is precisely to provide fertile ground for these positive emotions to grow.

After seeing that the mission world was on track, Lenno also took the opportunity to check on Adam Hammer. Adam Hammer was considered the strongest in Night City and was invincible before the birth of the overpowered V-Shock. In the original Destiny, even David, who was equipped with military heavy equipment and a cybernetic body, was no match for Adam Hammer.

This person's body underwent 99% cybernetic augmentation, yet due to their exceptional talent, they experienced almost no rejection reaction. Someone like this shouldn't have remained completely unknown.

After checking the Kitahara Group's combat records, Lanno was speechless. Unaware that Adam Hammer was a crucial plot objective, the Blue City forces showed no respect for this top-tier cyborg. After a complete falling out with the Arasaka Group, both sides engaged in a brutal urban battle in Night City, treating it like a full-blown war. Adam Hammer, spotted by drones and marked as a key target, was instantly killed in a spectacular explosion after three supersonic missiles blocked his escape route.

In a truly information-driven battlefield, a weapon like Adam's Hammer might be less effective than an armed drone. Its dominance in Night City is simply because a real battlefield wouldn't normally be possible there. However, within the rules of combat, it is indeed a top-tier asset.

If you really encounter a bastard who carries a nuclear bomb and detonates it right in front of Arasaka Tower, even Adam's Hammer won't be able to do anything about it.

This outcome, while unexpected, is also quite logical. Although the Beiyuan Group has been defeated, it has retained its core grassroots members. After relocating to the mountainous areas, its core base actually has a better chance of developing.

Indeed, the arrival of tens of thousands of people in the Gan region has spurred rapid economic development in the area, and infrastructure that had not been renovated for decades has begun to be rebuilt. However, what is most attractive is not the living environment, but the unique cultural environment.

Today, the people of Ganzhou have come to realize the importance of emotional value through repeated explanations and have begun to spontaneously maintain a positive and optimistic mood among residents of Ganzhou and to maintain a harmonious discussion atmosphere on the local area network within the Great Firewall.

Admittedly, the rapid development of the real economy in Ganzhou is a miracle on a global scale. However, this is actually a byproduct of a positive social atmosphere. Ganzhou itself did not have such favorable conditions for development. It was the positive mindset that motivated people to work, rather than indulging in the virtual world woven by drugs and games.

In another three years, the population of Ganzhou District increased tenfold, and a trend of population reversal emerged in major cities, with a large number of migrants successfully joining the drug rehabilitation center in Ganzhou District with the help of the center.

This is one of the unique aspects of this world. The more sensitive bodies make people in this world more susceptible to various drugs and develop a dependence on them. However, being more emotional, they are also more likely to break free from the control of psychotropic drugs when positive emotions dominate.

In corresponding medical institutions, medication is secondary; the primary focus is on providing emotional support to patients. When emotional support is maximized, patients gradually forget their dependence on medication, and offline interactions and communication gradually replace their excessive reliance on the virtual world.

In the past three years, Ganzhou has only restored its infrastructure to the level of forty years ago, but this has been enough to shake the world order. The flow of people has changed significantly. Almost as soon as Ganzhou’s carrying capacity is reached, the gaps are filled by outsiders, and everyone wants to squeeze into this new system.

The larger the population, the faster the expansion of the Ganzhou model. Natural environmental problems are no longer an issue for people in this era. The artificial organs replaced by prosthetic bodies allow humans to adapt not only to mountains, hills, plateaus, and deserts, but even to the ocean.

With a new lung that allows underwater breathing and a modification to the skin's structure, humans could survive in shallow waters for extended periods. However, tradition and inertia have held humanity back, preventing exploration in these directions. The Kitahara Group, however, has demonstrated this pioneering spirit.

Railways were built to reach plateaus and deserts, opening up directions that were once barren lands. According to their internal propaganda, this was to adapt to the extreme environments on Earth in order to prepare for adapting to the environments of other planets.

The only planet that humans have ever landed on on a large scale is the moon, but that was mainly for tourism purposes and did not bring any substantial economic benefits.

The ultimate goal of the Kitahara Group is clearly to change this; these people plan to farm on the moon! The semi-enclosed greenhouses in the desert are a testament to their accumulated technology in this area. Farming on the moon may sound like a vanity project, but it actually relates to whether the moon can truly generate economic benefits.

No matter how advanced rocket technology becomes, the cost of transporting materials between planets remains very high. Under such conditions, if food and even a large number of other consumables need to be transported from Earth, then it is impossible for the lunar homeland to support a large population. Only by solving the problem of self-sufficiency in bulk resources can the basic requirements for developing other planets be met.

They are not in a hurry to develop the moon at present. After all, the population on Earth is far from saturated. Developing mountains, deserts, plateaus, and even oceans is much easier than developing outer space. Developing and settling people in these areas is the real way to accumulate technology.

From a macro perspective, the world's order and the proportion of chaotic forces are undergoing a disruptive change.

Blue City is using a completely new method to clear away the chaos rooted deep in people's hearts. This world is inherently the most difficult type to deal with. Chaos has no physical manifestation, but is hidden deep in everyone's heart, based on human physiological conditions.

Even so, this intangible chaos was still eradicated by them through changes to the social environment.

The Blue City cluster model was quickly publicized. Although it couldn't be completely copied due to the different rules of different worlds, it served as a valuable reference for other chaotic worlds without clearly defined entities.

The addition of Lan Cheng had a limited impact on the eldest son's mental world, but the subsequent effects of his way of thinking became an important factor in reversing Changzi's mental state.

This is reflected in the Northern Plains, where more of the unique skills originating from the Mountain and River Republic were displayed during battles.

The years in the spiritual world translate to several days in the real world. During this time, the members of the underground base have used the underground magma spaceship to complete their transfer and arrive at other underground cavities.

On the surface, the Five Elements Mage was already struggling to hold on. Alone, he had originally been able to suppress the eldest son to some extent with his eighth-level strength.

However, as the eldest son regained some of his senses, Lan Nuo and Li Hengyi had gained a certain degree of control over him. Although they could not control his general direction of action, they could influence his tendencies and make subtle adjustments when he unleashed his killing move.

And this was already enough to produce a huge effect. The previous sea of ​​blazing light was just an appetizer; the subsequent Azure Lotus Mountain and the Spine Annihilation Sword Bone, combined with the eldest son's enormous size, would bring devastating pressure to the opponent.

The Five Elements Master is proficient in the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In conventional combat, they have virtually no weaknesses. Their five-directional, five-color series of killing moves, also corresponding to the five elements, are far more sophisticated. After all, they are the culmination of the collective wisdom of trillions of people. While individual geniuses can indeed alter the course of history to some extent, they are still but a drop in the ocean compared to the masses who are history itself.

The Five Elements Master unleashed four or five deadly moves in succession, but they were all countered. More importantly, the eldest son was taking root in the ground. As the roots grew, they absorbed nutrients and expanded in size.

The minor injuries sustained earlier had long since healed completely during this process, leaving no trace of damage. Not to mention, new brain nuclei had also grown in the eldest son during this time.

"Fellow Daoists, are you still planning to watch the show at this point? What difference is there between the Southern Frontier of the Shanhe Republic and the Central Plains Heavenly Court that we are wary of day and night? The Southern Frontier is now at its zenith, and it has such power in cross-domain attacks. Although I am not of the Golden Bloodline, I am willing to contribute to the independence of the Northern Plains. And shouldn't these inheritors of the Golden Bloodline step forward one by one?"

However, upon his call, it was not a member of the Golden Family who stepped forward, but rather the Snow Hu Ancestor who emerged from his concealment.

Both are at the eighth level of cultivation. He's more like a rogue cultivator. Although he has the support of the Great Snow Mountain and thus possesses his own power, compared to the vast Golden Clan, the Great Snow Mountain is truly nothing.

"Heh, those brats in the Southern Frontier, I've been wanting to get rid of them for a long time. Don't expect those Golden Family guys to make a move. You know they have their own grand plan for ten thousand years, and they won't waste their strength on accidents."

Old Ancestor Xuehu didn't really want to take action. He was only stepping forward out of necessity, because the place where his eldest son caused trouble was too close to the entrance of their Great Snow Mountain.

Not long ago, Xue Songzi, one of the weakest immortals in their Great Snow Mountain, was almost killed by people from the underground base. This matter was neither a big deal nor a small one for him, but it still made him come and take a look. As a result, he had just come out of the entrance of the Great Snow Mountain when he encountered this behemoth, which was hundreds of kilometers long, causing trouble here. Although the blessed land belongs to another space, unless there is a special killing move with spatial attributes, it is almost impossible to interfere.

However, the eldest son has too much potential for growth, and since his birth point is near the blessed land of the Great Snow Mountain, he is essentially stuck at the birth point.

Furthermore, since this thing uses a killer move from the Mountain and River Republic, it becomes even more troublesome. Many of the Mountain and River Republic's killer moves involve spatial power. While it's unlikely to be that powerful, it's theoretically entirely possible to break in and slightly damage the entrance. If they really block the spawn point, almost all the immortals in his Great Snow Mountain will suffer.

To avoid total annihilation, Old Ancestor Xuehu had no choice but to step forward. However, with two Rank 8 Immortals appearing, he was caught in a pincer attack. Even though he could use the Mountain and River Republic's killing moves to some extent, he couldn't withstand the onslaught for a while, and his massive body was repeatedly bombarded by these attacks.

However, after seeing the effects of their attacks hitting multiple times, Old Ancestor Xuehu and the Five Elements Master couldn't help but frown.
