Ten thousand I am across the heavens

This silent technological revolution had its seeds sown years ago. Since Dao Tian infiltrated overseas, he has been continuously mapping spacetime.

In this way, he gradually obtained a spatiotemporal map of the East China Sea region. His newly developed fixed-point teleportation technology relies on the real-time updating of this spatiotemporal map to ensure sufficiently high accuracy and low cost.

The preliminary experimental work is almost complete. Daotian of the East Sea had already conducted numerous experiments during the war in the north, successfully completing the transfer of goods and personnel between the two locations.

The technology has gradually moved from the experimental stage to formal implementation and can now be put into practice. The cost of transferring goods and people between the two locations has been reduced to a level where large-scale transmission is possible.

Most importantly, he solved the problem of teleportation for those with high cultivation levels. In actual combat, sometimes higher cultivation isn't always better. Increasing one's cultivation might render previously effective teleportation techniques ineffective.

This effect becomes particularly pronounced after achieving immortality. Unlike the type of teleportation that allows free movement throughout the world, this type of teleportation has few constraints but is extremely difficult. It usually requires a corresponding level of immortal Gu (a type of magical artifact) to teleport an immortal of that level.

This kind of teleportation skill, which has no conditions or restrictions but is extremely powerful, is obviously not going to be widely adopted.

Dao Tian initially chose to venture overseas alone. Leaving the Shanhe Republic's homeland was precisely for this mission; of course, he also had other motives, but that's another story, since he was actually a contingency plan left behind by the former Thief Demon Lord. His obsession with space technology was largely driven by a desire to return home. And now, the Shanhe Republic appears to be the most likely force to find his former home.

Teleportation technology has matured, but it remains classified and undisclosed, even by the Shanhe Republic. They were quick to utilize this capability to launch proactive attacks against their surroundings. The ability to deploy troops to the enemy's rear without loss is a significant advantage. With their current overall national strength, conquering all five continents is theoretically possible. They have no shortage of either high-end combat power or low-level cannon fodder.

The question is, in what manner should the rule of the original five continents be overthrown? If it is done as an invader, the final result might be similar to millions of years ago, where even with overwhelming force, it was ultimately impossible to unite intelligent life. The five continents would remain independent, and even within any one continent, multiple factions would dominate.

After all, the identity of an outsider is hardly something to be easily accepted. Ten Venerable Ones have already been born in this world. Even though their martial prowess was unparalleled during their lifetimes, with no one capable of challenging them, none of them have ever truly established an empire unifying the five continents. This demonstrates that simply relying on force cannot achieve the unification of intelligent life or the cohesion of people's hearts.

Ultimately, this is not a simple military conquest. And current new technologies can precisely address this pain point.

The method is simple: since troop deployment isn't a problem, then secretly deploy as many people as possible, letting them arrive silently around the world, integrate, and initiate change as locals. In this way, establish regimes similar to the Icebreaker Alliance in various places. Ultimately, achieve peaceful unification. Often, unification doesn't require war if the core of their ideology and culture is the same. Even different ethnic groups and regions can integrate their nations; civilization is far less narrow than imagined.

Lano had dedicated himself to this cause long before the technology matured. However, this time he wasn't personally leading the revolution from the front lines. The main issue was the sheer number of matters on each continent; even if he could split himself into hundreds or thousands, how could he possibly manage them all?

Conversely, if a suitable system is established and domestic talent is effectively utilized, there will naturally be a continuous stream of people sent out to tirelessly carry out missions.

The Republic of Mountains and Rivers now possesses a highly developed system. Therefore, mobilizing a group of people and sending them out to lead reforms across various continents is not a difficult task. In fact, it can be treated as a special profession. With sufficient money and benefits, countless talented individuals will naturally dedicate themselves to it.

Although the Republic of Mountains and Rivers has reached a considerably advanced stage in its social system, this does not mean that money is unnecessary in this country. Quite the opposite. Even with an extremely high level of civilization, currency remains irreplaceable. In fact, a more rational distribution mechanism may allow economic activities to gradually return to their original purpose of material exchange.

No matter how much productivity develops, it's difficult to reach an era of truly abundant material wealth. The productivity of the information age, compared to the slash-and-burn era, is indeed considerably greater. Perhaps, in the eyes of people of that era, this already constituted immense material abundance.

However, as times change, products imbued with more labor and value will inevitably emerge in the market. People will also generate new demands in each new era. And existing productivity will forever remain unable to meet all the needs of everyone.

In short, the Republic of Mountains and Rivers is very wealthy. Its citizens appear incredibly rich to people from other continents. However, there are still many things they cannot afford, and sufficient funds continue to motivate them to maintain a high level of enthusiasm.

In terms of moral standards, they are indeed quite high. If we simply appeal to their sense of righteousness, countless people will still choose to dedicate themselves to this cause without compensation. But knowing that this is feasible does not mean that we can actually do it.

As ordinary citizens, we can be selfless, but as those who create systems, we must provide sufficient incentives for all policies.

Before the teleportation technology was completed, one of the most important things Lenno was busy with was compiling public opinion data with other high-ranking officials and designing and manufacturing a system that would be easy for anyone to use.

With their current technology, they can now truly customize systems for citizens on missions, much like the cheat codes in system novels.

When Daotian went out before, he had to rely on his own hard work. He had to accumulate everything little by little in the early stages because there was no convenient and inexpensive teleportation technology back then. Whether it was supplies, people, or other valuable items, it was very difficult to transport them to other continents over long distances.

Now that the teleportation system is in place, long-distance interaction between different continents is no longer limited to simple information exchange. With the addition of material exchange, some less exaggerated system cheats can naturally be applied to users. Since the upcoming war of unification is inevitable, the citizens must be motivated to participate in this war.

The citizen information system filters out the most trustworthy members and issues them missions. Most believe themselves to be exceptionally special, tasked with carrying out secret missions for the system, leading people from other continents in rebellion against tyranny.

After all, they were to be directly teleported to other distant continents, and they were equipped with sophisticated cheat codes. By all accounts, they were special elite personnel.

This is primarily to mislead spies from other countries. The existence of spies is perfectly normal. No matter how good the progress of moral and ethical development, it's impossible to achieve a unified will among everyone. There will always be some people who, for various reasons, betray their origins and the class they belong to.

There's nothing to doubt about these things. The key is to take precautions as much as possible. This method of making each person a special role model is quite suitable for preventing espionage, even if the chosen individuals are spies sent by outsiders. They will only be informed that they have been selected as executors of a special mission. Even if intelligence is leaked, it won't cause widespread panic. Those who receive the intelligence will only think that a few people have infiltrated the rear areas of other continents, which is actually quite common. The Republic of Mountains and Rivers has spies from other continents, and similarly, many spies from the Republic of Mountains and Rivers exist on other continents, perhaps even more. These countries are already accustomed to this and don't consider it a major threat.

Mo Chengzi was one of those who received the relevant secrets. He was not a spy, but simply one of countless citizens of the Shanhe Republic. His abilities in various aspects were not outstanding. He had some talent, but was neither exceptional nor particularly outstanding.

High-level research positions are limited by ability and talent. He is unable to participate in many of them. Although he is ambitious, he lacks both the luck and the ability to reach the level of top-tier talent.

This also made him hope to seize every opportunity to improve himself.

The opportunity before him filled him with ecstatic joy. He was being sent to another continent on a secret mission. Guided by the system, he would lead the local people in a rebellion against tyranny, cooperating with other potential comrades on similar missions to overthrow the corrupt and dark rule of the immortals. For someone like him, who was unlikely to achieve much in the field of scientific research, this was the perfect mission.

It's easiest to make a name for yourself in a completely new field, much like exploring a new continent. It always holds the most opportunities.

Mo Chengzi accepted the task without hesitation. Then, within his own consciousness, he granted the system installation permissions.

This type of system, directly installed in the user's consciousness, is already very common in the Republic of Mountains and Rivers. To the general public, this technology is essentially like a mobile app in the eyes of a 21st-century person.

There are indeed security risks. For example, there is a possibility of unauthorized use to monitor a person's privacy, leak personal information, and so on.

Overall, the convenient and practical functionality, along with the ability to control application permissions, makes the risks acceptable to most people, especially given the government's high credibility. Consequently, the applications it releases and promotes naturally possess sufficient credibility.

After installing the system, Mo Chengzi didn't immediately receive a mission to teleport and execute tasks. Instead, he received a learning mission that required him to enter the virtual world for a year of study. Of course, this would only take one or two days in the real world.

This didn't raise any doubts for him. Pre-job training is mandatory before carrying out field missions; it's just that this training was a bit long, which is normal, since he was going to a new continent and needed to familiarize himself with the environment and customs. He needed to formulate policies and action strategies based on the local conditions.

As he had anticipated, the training he received in the virtual world focused primarily on understanding the local customs and traditions. The Republic of Shanhe had already dispatched numerous agents to various parts of the world in the early stages. Gathering intelligence was one aspect of integrating into the local communities, and laying the groundwork for subsequent battles was another.

Although compared to the vast world, the number of workers is only a drop in the ocean, it still allows them to gain a general understanding of the local customs and lifestyles.

It was different from what he had imagined. He had expected to see many exotic sights, even customs resembling those of primitive tribes. He imagined barbaric and backward families worshipping their ancestors, or performing ancient and mysterious rituals to appease powerful creatures. Small, sparsely populated villages and tribes lived together in territories teeming with wild beasts, their lives dependent on constant migrations. They had to find ways to survive each wave of these beast migrations.

This is their imagined situation. It's also the situation in the southern border region where the Shanhe Republic is located, decades ago. Many of the elderly people from that time are still alive and well, so they haven't forgotten the memories of that era. These past few decades have passed. If the world had continued at its original pace of development, nothing would have changed much. It would be the same as it was millions of years ago. If that were truly the case, the other continents would probably still be living the same lives they did decades ago.

The world is interconnected, and the spread of technology affects the entire world. Even though the world is vast, the speed of technological spread is limited. However, the powerful abilities of the immortals compensate for the vastness of the land. The true world has already entered the industrial age, and those families and tribes that lived in seclusion in the mountains have long been forcibly relocated by the powerful beings. Urbanization is imminent, and the true world is a series of enormous metropolitan cities. Millions, tens of millions, or even more people gather in one industrialized metropolis after another, toiling like ants, becoming flesh and blood cogs in a giant machine.
