Chapter 1390: Chapter 723: The Collapsing Spiritual Split Thought

Guan Xiaodie couldn’t understand why her original self would stand on this man’s side and actively expose her existence.

This shouldn’t be happening; she was the spiritual split thought of the other, after all!

They were supposed to be one!

"Who exactly are you!"

Guan Xiaodie no longer looked at Liang Yuan but glared angrily at her original self, Ling Yurong.

Ling Yurong looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking.

She just sighed: "Don’t struggle, there’s no chance."

"I’ve already acknowledged Mr. Liang as my master. You’re just my spiritual split thought, surrender."

Guan Xiaodie’s face was full of disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

"What, what did you say?"

"Surrender?"

She almost thought she had misheard.

Was the person in front of her still her original self?

Was she still the Lord of the Frozen Sea, the exalted Ice Goddess?

She couldn’t accept such a change and was filled with extreme anger.

"What are you talking about? Ling Yurong!"

"But you are me, we are one! How can you surrender?"

"Bastard! Fool!"

Guan Xiaodie roared in disbelief.

Yet Ling Yurong’s expression remained unchanged, internally sighing.

If there were choices, who would want to serve another and become someone’s servant?

In the past, it was always her who accepted others as slaves, with others acknowledging her as master.

But fortunes have turned, and this time she fell into Liang Yuan’s hands.

This strand of split thought couldn’t escape either.

"Ling Yurong, what are you waiting for? Fuse the split mind inside her."

"Yes, Master."

At Liang Yuan’s order, Ling Yurong said nothing more and placed her hand on top of Guan Xiaodie’s head.

Activating the spiritual power within her, a powerful force of attraction emanated from her.

Suddenly, spiritual light emerged from Guan Xiaodie.

A phantom spirit split thought was forcibly extracted from deep within Guan Xiaodie by Ling Yurong.

This was her spiritual split thought.

As this strand of spiritual split thought emerged, it struggled and cursed.

"Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?"

"I am you; you are me; we are one. How can you harm me?"

"Bastard, you Liang! What have you done? What have you done to my original self?"

The split thought screamed incessantly, but Liang Yuan remained indifferent.

Soon, the two fused into one, and in Ling Yurong’s mind, another segment of Guan Xiaodie’s life memory surfaced.

As for Guan Xiaodie herself, she fell into a deep sleep.

Guan Yue watched this scene, utterly dumbfounded.

"This, this, Mr. Liang, what’s going on?"

Liang Yuan looked at her, handing Guan Xiaodie over, and said, "The spiritual split thought of an ancient superpower user was lurking inside her. What you saw earlier was that spiritual body’s split thought."

"This kind of spiritual split thought would gradually strengthen within her as she grows and eventually replace her."

"Now her dominant personality is no longer in danger, though her spiritual power might be slightly damaged. She’ll be fine after some time recuperating."

Guan Yue, shocked, said, "Ancient superpower user? Spiritual split thought?"

Her level wasn’t high enough to participate in the Yangshan conference, so she didn’t know some of the confidential information.

Liang Yuan explained some of the key messages to her.

Her expression became quite grim after hearing them.

"Damn it, how could this be? We struggled to survive and awaken our superpowers, yet we still have to guard against ancient superpower users coveting our bodies from deep within?"

"Mr. Liang, is there any way to discover such situations early?"

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Observe the people around you. If someone shows obvious multiple personalities or suddenly changes temperament and says strange things, pay close attention, capture them, and bring them to me."

Guan Yue, upon hearing this, looked at the sleeping Guan Xiaodie in her arms and said, "Now that you mention it, I recall Xiaodie did act strangely for a while."

"She used to play well with Xiaoyu, and she even approached Xiaoyu several times in private, saying that something was wrong with her body. But every time she started talking, she’d suddenly change like a different person."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "It seems her dominant personality sensed something and came out for help."

"Didn’t Xiaoyu report it to you?"

"She did, but when I saw Xiaodie, everything seemed normal. It looks like she had already been occupied by the ancient superpower user’s split thought by then."

Guan Yue spoke with lingering fear: "Mr. Liang, if she completely took over Xiaodie, what would she do?"

Liang Yuan gently shook his head: "Uncertain. An ancient superpower user’s primary task after regaining strength is to restore their own cultivation."

"It’s highly possible they’ll seek out their other split thoughts, and this act requires manpower."

"I guess she might try to seize control of a power to have a group of subordinates."

Guan Yue felt a chill at Liang Yuan’s analysis.

After gaining strength, Guan Xiaodie would most likely aim to control the forces, starting with these merfolk and jiao people in front of them.

Given Mr. Liang’s strength, once this point is discovered, they will inevitably have to face Mr. Liang.

For a moment, Guan Yue felt a sense of relief in his heart, fortunately, Mr. Liang arrived in time.

"Mr. Liang, I’ll immediately find all the others who haven’t returned yet so you can check them thoroughly."

Guan Yue spoke actively, very cooperative.

Liang Yuan nodded: "Okay, go find them."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Ling Yurong, "Undo the ice seal and release these people."

"Yes, master." Ling Yurong gave Liang Yuan a complex look, then waved a hand to break the ice seal.

Instantly, everyone below recovered completely.

They came to their senses, having heard the conversation between Liang Yuan and Guan Yue very clearly.

At this moment, they all looked at Ling Yurong with apprehension, then glanced at Guan Xiaodie, who was being held by Guan Yue.

An expression of fear toward Guan Xiaodie appeared in their eyes.

It seemed they felt Guan Xiaodie was not normal.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan felt the need to say something, otherwise Guan Xiaodie might find it difficult to integrate with this group in the future.

He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, you must have heard what Miss Guan and I said just now."

"Previously, Guan Xiaodie had another person’s Spiritual Split Thought hidden within her body. This Spiritual Split Thought has now been removed by me. Guan Xiaodie is still the original Guan Xiaodie."

"There’s no danger on her anymore, everyone please don’t look at her with prejudice."

Guan Yue also came to his senses, immediately realizing Liang Yuan was vouching for Guan Xiaodie so she could have a normal life and integrate with everyone normally in the future.

She quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liang is right, everyone, Xiaodie can also be considered a victim now. Please don’t look at her with prejudice in the future, give her your care and help."

"Xiaoyu, you should set a good example."

With that, Guan Yue looked toward Ji Xiaoyu standing nearby.

Although Ji Xiaoyu was frozen just now, she heard every word of Liang Yuan and Guan Yue’s conversation clearly.

Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded and shouted, "Don’t worry, we’ll treat Xiaodie as family. If anyone dares to bully her, I’ll be the first not to agree."

Liang Yuan saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.

Then, after waiting a while, people returned one after another.

Ling Yurong and Di Quanke checked them one by one, but didn’t find anything else.

The entire afternoon was busy with this matter.

When this matter was over, Liang Yuan assigned Ji Xiaoyu and several other young people to report to Yangshan.

He wasn’t joking about forming a special squad.

Now, over at the research department, the Yangshan No. 2 series ships have already started production and can soon be mass-produced.

At that time, many talented pilots and combat personnel will be needed.

Because it’s unclear what kind of environment exists on the Floating Island, the team going up must have a strong adaptability.

It’s best to have Superpower Users specializing in water, land, and air terrains to adapt to more complex environments.

On the way back, Liang Yuan was contemplating another issue.

"Ancient Superpower Users use the method of longevity, probably many want to live a second life."

"Relying only on Ling Yurong and Di Quanke, they’re just removing their own Spiritual Split Thought."

"Then there’s Jin Peng, that guy has also been marked with the Soul Imprisonment Rune by me."

"At that time, I can have these three specifically handle this matter, checking everyone within the entire Yangshan power range."

"We absolutely cannot let unidentified Ancient Superpower Users hide among us, posing a threat to Yangshan."

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan looked to Ling Yurong and Di Quanke and asked, "Do you two have any method to directly check if there is an Ancient Superpower User’s Spiritual Split Thought within a person’s body?"

Ling Yurong and Di Quanke glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Ling Yurong said, "In early years, there were instances where Ancient Superpower Users’ Spiritual Split Thoughts were discovered and then broken."

"Later, during our time, everyone became smart. They fused their Spiritual Split Thought with genes, forming genetic legacy memories, and directly solved this problem through genetic inheritance."

"Gene-level issues can only be resolved through genetic means."

"Unless the host themselves reaches the Genetic Reorganization Level and can counteract the Spiritual Split Thought, there’s no other way."

"For outsiders to detect the presence of Spiritual Split Thought, they can only judge through the host’s abnormal behavior."

Di Quanke also nodded slightly and said, "Essentially, through countless generations of inheritance, the Spiritual Split Thought has thoroughly merged with this host."

"Actually, they’re fundamentally the same person, so it’s extremely difficult to completely separate the host from the Spiritual Split Thought."

"Of course, some legendary special skills might work, such as Causal Skills, which ignore any logic."

"However, Causal Skills are not easy to find, these skills are extremely rare, and even if a skill rune bone with a certain Causal Skill appeared, probably no one would be willing to trade it."

Di Quanke’s words sparked an idea in Liang Yuan’s mind.

Others may not have Causal Skills, but he has some on hand.

Not to mention Gu Jianye whom he captured earlier, his [Word Spirit] skill is a standard Causal Skill.

Ignoring any logic, when activated, it directly uses causality to launch an assault.

Currently, Gu Jianye is still locked in the Water Prison by him. Although a Parasite Species was planted earlier, if the opponent is bent on seeking death, he still cannot be used.

However, Liang Yuan now possesses the Soul Imprisonment Rune, so even if Gu Jianye wishes to die, he cannot escape his control.

On another note, if Gu Jianye doesn’t cooperate, Liang Yuan still has the system and can directly exchange for relevant Causal Skills.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.

He had already devised a plan in his mind.

"Use dual measures, first exchange for the [Word Spirit] skill from the system, then control Gu Jianye to make him work for me."

"This way, even if I’m not at Yangshan, there will be someone guarding the place for me."
