Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Although He Li was scheming.

However, his schemes would not cause any harm to the Shu King Yu Fu and others who were being schemed against.

Moreover, his ultimate goal was the same as what King Yu Fu and others hoped to see, so even if Yu Fu noticed something was amiss, he wouldn't say anything.

Moreover, what about those thoughts...?

In Yu Fu's view, it was more than just feasible.

At the same time, he also felt that the human race... or at least his Shu Kingdom needed to establish a kind of "ritual".

And this kind of "ritual"...

It can bring strength and psychological changes to the people of Shu, enabling them to regain their fighting spirit and ensure the continuation of Shu when they are in unfavorable situations...

Although He Li's ideas differed somewhat from Yu Fu's, the overall differences were not significant.

Of course, even if the difference is too great.

He, Yu Fu, can also make adjustments.

Then make the final result conform to, and infinitely close to, the "ritual" that Yu Fu wanted.

As for why Yu Fu wanted the Shu Kingdom to have special rituals to empower and transform its people, or to inspire their fighting spirit in unfavorable situations...

This was Yu Fu's long-term plan for his kingdom as the King of Shu and a ruler.

For King Yu Fu of Shu...

The "ritual" he desired was essentially a tool to deceive the people and manipulate their emotions, making those who didn't necessarily have a strong sense of belonging to the Shu Kingdom...

We can make sacrifices for the concept of the Shu Kingdom.

He Li simply happened to be in the right place at the right time and met him...

They also put forward suitable ideas.

Even without the story of a celestial being entering a dream...

After meeting He Li, if He Li were to propose such an idea, Yu Fu would most likely go along with it, agree to He Li's proposal, and incorporate his own ideas into the plan.

And this is something no one knows.

However, even if he knew, He Li would pretend not to know and would not interfere with Yu Fu.

Putting aside the fact that he was from a later era and didn't really want to get involved in the affairs of the ancient times, the most important thing was that he clearly knew that the established history could not be changed.

Under this premise...

Everything Yu Fu did...

As time goes by, they will gradually correspond with the events recorded in later historical accounts.

In other words, this is history.

He naturally wouldn't interfere.

That's why... He Li and Yu Fu both felt that since their ideas could be realized, cooperating with the other party would definitely be a profitable deal.

As for why Yu Fu didn't deify himself and participate in this matter?

There are reasons for this, of course.

Not to mention that he was the King of Shu, even if he hadn't participated in this matter, he would still be remembered and admired by the world, even if he wasn't the King and wouldn't have participated in it.

Because of the idea proposed by He Li...

A true demonstration of "miracles" is needed.

It is clear that although Yu Fu has temporarily gained great power, he cannot do this.

But what about He Li...? He can do that.

Moreover, the world is now undergoing drastic changes, and strange aggregates of evil thoughts are wreaking havoc on the world. All living beings are desperately waiting for the existence of something that can suppress these evil aggregates...

Unfortunately, He Li happened to be in control of the inner fire.

He was simply the chosen one, the "deified one"!

Yu Fu thought of these things.

Therefore, he was certain that he couldn't do it, and that the best course of action was to follow He Li's wishes.

However, having only a general plan is not enough; more details need to be added gradually, such as how to persuade the public to gain a large number of believers in a short period of time.

There are also related steps for ascending to godhood...

And the things believers need to do, etc.

On the way back, everyone discussed these matters incessantly, trying to avoid any further problems.

While He Li was collaborating with Yu Fu, beginning to deify himself and working to bring about predetermined historical events, the others who had separated from him were also busy with similar tasks.

For example, Mu Lan at this moment...

"Where...is this place?"

In the dim space, Mu Lan looked around but found that no matter how hard she tried to see...

Yet I still couldn't see anything clearly.

It seemed that some vague force was constantly "flowing" in the surrounding gloom, just like looking at the bottom of a rushing river, which was impossible to see clearly.

That's why she had to look at Fei Lian, who had brought her here, and ask him a question.

However, Fei Lian did not answer her.

Fei Lian simply said, "You'll have to discover that for yourself!"

"And you must find out for yourself!"

"I can only tell you that here... there is the most dangerous wind in the world."

"And you have two choices: one, give up trying to understand this dangerous wind and I will send you back; two, take the risk and try to understand or even control this wind force."

"Let's leave option one aside for now."

"Choose option two. When you succeed, you may receive a legacy even more powerful than the power I bestowed upon you."

"However, it is also possible to die and perish."

"Now, make your choice!"

Hearing Fei Lian's words, Mu Lan frowned, staring at the indistinct objects in the dim space around her. After a couple of seconds of silence, she suddenly asked, "Do you... know about the future?"

"I've heard about it!" Fei Lian nodded.

Sure enough, Mu Lan nodded secretly.

She then pressed on, "Okay, so if I successfully control this power of the wind..."

"What about the inherited power you spoke of, which is even more powerful than the power you gave me? Can such power be compared to that of the future Heavenly Emperor or the master of the Netherworld?"

"It's hard to say!" Fei Lian shook his head slightly.

"Because I do not know just how strong the inherited power you have obtained truly is."

"Perhaps it can rival the Heavenly Emperor and the Lord of the Underworld..."

"It's also possible that it can't compare."

"But that power, which is also a supreme power, is no less than either of the other two. However... when one receives a powerful inheritance, one will also bear responsibility."

"Like the Lord of the Underworld and the Heavenly Emperor, they have their own responsibilities, and so does this legacy."

"And comparing the Lord of the Underworld with the Heavenly Emperor..."

"This responsibility is even more dangerous."

After Fei Lian finished speaking, Mu Lan's expression remained unchanged. After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "I understand!" As she finished speaking, blue patterns appeared on her skin.

The demon core from Dingfengxian within her body seemed to have been completely digested and absorbed by her.

And as her power manifested...

Fei Lian's figure disappeared quickly.

At the same time, the originally dark world around her began to brighten a little, and Mu Lan could see clearly those things that were originally blurry but were "flowing".

That...it was the wind!

But this wind is very strange.

Because normal wind is a continuous movement that gradually weakens until it disappears completely.

But the wind around us was different. It seemed to flow slower, like water, yet it was incredibly enclosed, like a solid entity like the Water Cube rather than a virtual one.

And within this wind body...

Mu Lan vaguely sensed that there was something else mixed in that was hard to describe.

She couldn't explain what those things were; she just felt incredibly strange and uncomfortable all over, as if her biological instincts were to be hostile and disgusted by them.

"What...is this wind?"

"There's something hidden within the wind."

"And what are those?"

Mu Lan was incredibly curious, but also extremely wary, because she knew this wind was very dangerous.

After all, Fei Lian had already given a reminder.

Therefore, instead of recklessly rushing into the wind body, she mobilized the power within her body, causing her body to begin elementalizing at a visible speed...

Yes, Mu Lan's flesh and blood body has begun to become transparent and gradually transform into a steady breeze.

The wind formed a human-shaped wind body.

Mu Lan... raised her hand and parted a wisp of breeze to try and touch the strange wind in front of her.

Who knew that the moment the wind touched the body...

call! ! !

As soon as she heard the sound of wind, Mu Lan's hair stood on end. She felt an unimaginable, terrifying suction force emanating from the wind, which instantly pulled her away with the wind she had created.

The process was incredibly fast, so fast that she didn't even have a chance to react.

It was at this time...

Mu Lan then realized that this strange wind formation was not a physical entity that appeared to move slowly; rather, it was a visual and sensory illusion created when things moved at extreme speed.

It was precisely because of this that when she separated a wisp of wind to try and contact this strange wind entity...

That's why they were instantly pulled in.

After all, her actions were like throwing the rope around her into a high-speed rotating gear; she would inevitably be pulled away by an unimaginable, terrifying force.

As Mu Lan was pulled in by the strange wind, a strange voice echoed in her mind...

"You seem familiar... Who are you?"
