Of course, the result was both unexpected and yet foreseen.
After installing the brain implant and turning Dalang into a human puppet, Akiyama Jinggang kicked the bucket in the first human linking experiment.
No kidding, whether it's Li Pan or Dalang, at the soul level, it's Asura level...
But, although Akiyama Jinggang is dead, since Dalang already has the brain implant from the Heavenly Demon King project, to avoid leaking the secret and having Takamanohara discover that the Akiyama family, these grave keepers, actually robbed not just any grave but Lord Oda's grave, Akiyama Yaziko and Akiyama Daigo, the couple, had no choice but to hold their noses and continue adopting Dalang as their foster son.
