Ten thousand I am across the heavens

If this continues, the Ghostly Demon Lord's situation will be like that of someone under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, unknowingly altering his personality.

This kind of change is so subtle that even the person being changed is unaware of it. The reason is simple: it relies on the accumulation of time to gradually change a person.

A person's character is like the Ship of Theseus. Every experience in life subtly influences their character, ultimately affecting who we truly are.
This means that every little change in everyone's life experiences will be considered normal by us.

The Ghostly Demon Lord is now facing the same situation. A vast array of personalities' life experiences have been integrated into his ascended body, becoming part of his memories. And these memories themselves are subtly influencing him.

If it weren't for his long lifespan and vast memories as the Demon Lord, which allowed him to offset the personalities of these people to some extent, he might have already been transformed into the shape of Lanno.

Even if things haven't gone this way yet, once he truly achieves ascension, his personality and beliefs will probably be very similar to Lanno's.

This subtle and pervasive spiritual pollution is somewhat similar to the ancient gods of legend. It subtly assimilates people into its own kind.

However, this assimilation process ultimately encountered a slight mishap. Normally, no one would be qualified to remind the Ghostly Demon Lord of his changes. To him, there were only enemies and servants; theoretically, there was no one equal to him. The enemy leader could, in a sense, be considered his equal in terms of personality. But the problem was, enemies obviously couldn't possibly warn him that his personality was flawed.

If this continues, his ego will be completely assimilated. And at this moment, the will of Heaven, which has been suffocating under the oppression of the Republic of Mountains and Rivers, finally exerts its power.

The will of Heaven has repeatedly tried to cause trouble within the Republic of Shanhe, attempting to enlighten a group of intelligent people and incite them to seek personal gain at the expense of the public good, and to find ways to overthrow the Republic of Shanhe from within.

The result was that his personal gain at the expense of the company led to unfair distribution within his team, decreased team efficiency, and ultimately, he was removed from his leadership position after a short time. After that, no matter how much fate intervened, the person who had been tricked by his own cleverness refused to listen again.

A relatively reasonable social system and promotion system mean that, theoretically, as long as one works hard enough and continuously improves their abilities, they will eventually rise to prominence. This leads to many unorthodox methods that seem to yield quick results, but are actually counterproductive. They repeatedly thwart the will of Heaven, and attempts to orchestrate a series of coincidences leading to the collapse of the Republic often result in the complete breakdown after only one or two dominoes are moved.

If the Gu world of the past was one where the strong ruled over countless others, with no one having the right to resist an individual top expert, then the so-called popular view of history was irrelevant. Influencing just one or two people could sway the course of the world.

Now, the Republic of Shanhe is the true embodiment of the people's historical perspective. Even if fate is corrupting Lanno, he cannot single-handedly reverse the Republic's trajectory and cause it to decline. In other words, even if he were to abandon the cause and completely leave this world, the Republic of Shanhe would still fulfill its mission. It doesn't matter who is missing.

Therefore, Heaven can only attempt to interfere with the fates of others. For example, the Ghostly Demon Lord is now the perfect springboard. One person's fate affects countless others. However, the volume of non-physical memories is too vast; even Heaven cannot directly reverse the mindset of an ascended being. But this is precisely where Heaven excels.

Far behind the Heavenly Court's battle lines, the Dragon Lord, riding his boundless sea of ​​qi, frantically pursued a figure in black.

The figure clutched a chessboard that seemed to contain endless mysteries, frantically refining it as he ran. "Fang Yuan! You fiend! I knew long ago that cooperating with you was like playing with fire! And now you dare steal the relics of the Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. Die!"

The black-clad figure being chased was none other than Fang Yuan. The Heavenly Court and the Republic's front lines were constantly on edge. Years of war had left the Heavenly Court exhausted, which gave the former demon the opportunity to cooperate with them. However, Fang Yuan was clearly not genuinely cooperating with the Heavenly Court; after stealing what he wanted, he immediately fled.

Just as he was about to be caught up by the Dragon Lord and slapped to death, he saw the mountain peak in front of him reveal its true form from the mist. It turned out to be a huge formation with a strong mechanical style and a combination of science fiction and cultivation.

Fang Yuan, who participated in the battles of Beiyuan and Donghai, did not have a detailed understanding of all the parameters of the inter-domain teleportation device, but he successfully infiltrated both armies during the battles and obtained the spatial map of Beiyuan, which allowed him to use the parameters on it to complete the teleportation directly.

Although we cannot miniaturize the teleportation facilities due to limitations in technology and knowledge, they are sufficient for the current purpose.

A flash of white light appeared on the massive teleportation facility, and Fang Yuan vanished from his spot. Simultaneously, a dazzling light erupted from the mountain, followed by an incredibly terrifying explosion that destroyed an area spanning dozens of miles, turning the region into a massive crater. Even the Dragon Lord was blown away by the blast wave, becoming completely untraceable for a time.

"Finally got it. Although it's just a Wisdom Dao Immortal Gu House, it's just right to be used to house the extra personality of the ascended body. Now we're probably going to be hunted down by the entire Heavenly Court."

Fang Yuan was healing his injuries in the snowy mountains of Beiyuan, but not long after, the alert formation was triggered. The patrolling soldiers of the Beiyuan Alliance had discovered the anomaly and were mobilizing militia to search the mountains.

Fang Yuan had no choice but to stop healing himself, clean up the scene, and then quietly escape.

While the development of Beiyuan is far less exaggerated than that of the Shanhe Republic, its development speed is indeed rapid. It has now reached a point where he is hesitant to confront it head-on.

Especially considering the unique regional characteristics here, the Legion's killing moves are incredibly troublesome. They can combine the power of many people, and when Legion killing moves with matching abilities are combined, they can have an effect like stepping on one foot and flying into the sky. It's said that the freaks in the Eleventh Legion can now maintain the strength of all members at the seventh level. If they were to be targeted, it would be far more troublesome than being hunted down by the Dragon Duke at his peak.

He fled all the way to the Western Desert, where he came to make the Ghostly Demon Lord fulfill his previous promise.
