Everyone's information about A Li is limited to before Transcendent, because in the game's setting, if A Li in the first version breaks through to the Transcendent, all players will be wiped out!
In reality, the first version of A Li never had a chance to enter the Transcendent, so many people couldn't realize what kind of abilities this monster would have when she reached that stage.
Their subconscious thought was that her ability was still the same as before, capable of altering memories beyond the Transcendent. In their view, this ability was already incredibly powerful; anything more would be too abnormal.
The creators had actually discussed this point with Pu Yunchuan at the time.
At this moment, Chen Qing was on his way to the Northern Wasteland, and his mind was filled with memories of Pu Yunchuan.
Back in the day, on a forum, a player suddenly imagined a very strange scenario: what happened to the demons after all the players were wiped out?
This topic sparked heated discussions. After all, from the players' perspective, once all players are wiped out, the server shuts down, and the data stops being processed. But some people are curious about what the world will be like when those terrifying demons take over.
How far will those demons who seize the destiny of human dynasties eventually grow?
Some have even suggested uniting all the servers where players failed to gain access to the dynasty and creating a large server, where those demons who have already obtained the dynasty's fortune can fight each other and see what kind of sparks will fly.
Players take on the role of a demon, assisting different top demons in their quest for supremacy.
This idea garnered support from hundreds of thousands of players at the time, with the official recommendation to do so stating that many veteran players would definitely be willing to give it a try.
Pu Yunchuan was also drawn to this idea at the time, which is why he began to envision the abilities of each demon as it matured.
Unfortunately, the game's premise of players joining the demon faction and harming humanity clashed with mainstream Chinese values, and it failed to pass approval several times during the review process, ultimately leading to the project's shelving. However, the original design remained unchanged.
Chen Qing recalled that, in Pu Yunchuan's memory, the temporary patch was rushed out during the Spring Festival. It used big data to calculate the role and subsequent actions of the previous servers, and then another round of creation was carried out. At that time, only three people who stayed after the New Year participated in the project.
Pu Yunchuan, data expert Chen Xiaohui, and another key creator of the Demon World.
Only these three people knew about the later additions. Because the approval process kept failing, other employees were never allowed to access the subsequent content. Almost no one knew about the upgraded information about the demons.
A Li was the most popular demon in the first version, and also the most brain-teasing and difficult monster character to defeat, so many people were looking forward to how A Li's faction would fight against other top demons such as King Xiang's faction.
But when Pu Yunchuan actually put the two demons from different eras together, he found it a bit tricky.
As players previously envisioned, they could join the ranks of a particular demon and fight each other. However, many Magic City bestow abilities upon their subordinates. For example, the Ancient Insect could directly enhance physical abilities, King Xiang could grant the power of evil spirits, and the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace could Dragon Transformation, and so on.
If A Li were to unify a server, what would she offer players?
How to fight against other forces?
Pu Yunchuan thought about it for two nights, almost shaving off the last few hairs on his head, before coming up with an enhancement that suited her characteristics.
That is to grant his subordinates the ability to temporarily alter their memories!
Any player in A Li's faction who has received A Li's blessing can temporarily alter the memories of others. Of course, the blessed person cannot manipulate memories as precisely as A Li can, instantly and completely change the other person's worldview—that's too overpowered.
However, it can alter a small portion of memory to aid in combat. For example, in crucial moments, if one has misremembered the details of their own techniques or spells, this power can significantly influence the course of the battle.
This temporary memory distortion not only enriches the gameplay but also gives A Li's faction the leverage to contend with other forces!
Nobody knows.
By this time, the sky was already beginning to lighten, still displaying a beautiful orange glow, and some families selling steamed buns for breakfast were already kneading dough in their shops.
At that moment, Shen Ling stepped out of the room!
She closed her eyes and rushed straight towards the Blazing Yang Grand Formation.
A Li alters memories through eye contact; closing her eyes temporarily wards off temptation, and this process doesn't take long.

By this time, the sky was already beginning to lighten, and the rising sun was casting a beautiful orange glow. Some families selling steamed buns for breakfast were already kneading dough in their shops.
At that moment, Shen Ling stepped out of the room!
She closed her eyes and rushed straight towards the Blazing Yang Grand Formation.
A Li alters memories through eye contact. Closing her eyes can temporarily ward off temptation, and this process doesn't take long. Once she reaches the center of the Blazing Yang Grand Formation Blazing Yang Grand Formation, she can control it instantly after regaining her powers!
She could even shrink the great formation and take it with her, making it her personal formation. This was one of her methods as the former strongest Heavenly Venerable of Formations!
Once she obtains the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, she will have the strength to contend with any King Level opponent. A Li will have no chance to get even a fraction closer to her. As long as A Li's approximate location is locked and the Blazing Yang Grand Formation is activated, she can instantly destroy her with the power of the Blazing Sun over a wide area!
As for casualties, well, it's just a few mere humans dying. If she can wipe out A Li, she can accept the death of everyone in Liuzhou City.
Humans are like ants; once a colony dies, another colony springs up, and soon they appear in dense swarms again.
She's gone!
Zhou Haitao excitedly pointed to the sky, where the red light shone brightly, carrying powerful spiritual energy, and rushed straight towards the location of the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, without any pretense.
"Still the same personality," A Li sneered. "After all these years, you haven't improved at all."
"We really managed to trick them out." Wei Gongzhan was also very excited.
A Li's blood has such an effect!
At first, they couldn't have imagined that if the opponent stayed hidden, how could A Li use her abilities? It was practically unsolvable.
It was A Li who went to the compound that day, and it was A Li who went to report the matter, not Zhou Haitao himself. But even so, it was impossible for the other party to let A Li have the opportunity to enter the house.
However, A Li didn't intend to go in; instead, she directly altered the memory of the person outside the door.
At the time, Wei Gongzhan was actually quite puzzled. Although the disciple outside the door could have his memories altered, he was still treated as a messenger and couldn't leave. He could even sleep at the door, unable to escape Master Shen San's sight. Under these circumstances, even if A Li could control the Shen Family disciple at the door, what could he possibly do?
The answer is blood!
A Li's blood can temporarily grant others the ability to alter their memories!
The government office is managed by Zhou Haitao. With Lord Zhou's abilities, it would be incredibly easy for him to tamper with the food. A Li's blood had already been secretly added to the food of the Shen Family family members outside the door the day before yesterday.
After A Li personally went outside the courtyard and altered the man's memory, he became a temporary weapon.
" A Li," Wei Gongzhan said excitedly, watching Shen Ling fly away, "I have something to ask you."
"Say it," A Li said calmly.
"Would drinking your blood grant me the same abilities as you?"
"Of course not," A Li rolled her eyes. "It can only barely alter memories, but not too obviously, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
"How did he manage to lure that woman out?" Zhou Haitao asked curiously.
"That person drank my blood. It's impossible for him to deeply alter Shen Ling's memories, but he can still make slight changes, such as getting them to misremember the time."
Zhou Haitao and Wei Gongzhan exchanged a glance. Both were intelligent men, and they understood almost instantly, exclaiming in unison, " A Li is brilliant!"
A Li immediately snorted, "Just kidding!"
She was supposed to recover her strength tomorrow, but she recorded it as today – that was her doing. And it worked; her opponent ran away like a rocket.
"The trap has been set." A Li looked down at her feet, where she was standing on the reflection of Shen Er from the Underworld.
"The rest is up to you!"
