From star abyss

…………………………

In 721, the game update version 30.0 of "Xingyuan" - "Darkest Hour"

"Dear customers, players:"

I am Lai Anding, the chief planner of "Xingyuan", the server architect of Qiqiao Network, and the CEO of Qiqiao Network.

As a result of the recent decision to establish the expansion pack "Abyss Expedition" and require players and guilds to join the expedition organization, I announce my resignation from all my positions as the management of Qiqiao Network.

I have always firmly supported the player's gaming experience, information security and account ownership, but at the same time I also support the decision to maintain the company.

The development of the situation deviated from the original intention. Even if I could not agree with the dissolution and sale of this studio, the decision within the division still prevailed. After the Yanxia resolution, my attitude in this regard has not changed.

In addition, I am sure that this level of decision should be based on the expectations and wishes of the player community.

However, I will continue to do my best to ensure that the agreement signed in the past as the chief planner of "Xingyuan" can become a real and feasible treaty, and at the same time enable the company's financial situation to get out of the crisis.

As the CEO of Qiqiao Network, I declare to you for the last time: I think it is necessary to explain the reform process we have experienced since the deletion of NPC ‘Li Aoz’ in version 14.0, especially my views on this process full of contradictions, superficiality and subjective understanding.

It is destined that when I became the leader of this company, the situation of this company was not optimistic.

Although we have abundant advantageous resources such as picture quality, plot, and gameplay, and the great Terra has also given our staff wisdom and talent, our game is still far worse than all online competitive games on the market in terms of plug-in management.

Automatic aiming, blood lock, instant movement, magic bullets, forced offline, IP blocking, prohibition of peeking, opening box player information, stealing credit cards... In the endless network attacks, Qiqiao Network has suffered irreparable losses. We are losers and the biggest victims.

A large number of players cannot bear the humiliation during the game and choose to give up and even cancel their accounts. Our daily turnover is low and it is not enough to maintain the normal operation of the game server.

I leave this position with my worries, but I also leave with hope and confidence in you, which comes from the wisdom and innovative spirit of all players.

We are a game that was once unparalleled. Whether this game can enter a new, orderly and dignified rebirth depends on each of you.

We once tried to create a completely real world, but we forgot that a real world must be filled with cheats, hackers and other unstable elements who break the rules and do whatever it takes to make profits for themselves.

Some mistakes can be avoided, and many things can be done better, but I am sure that sooner or later our joint efforts will bear fruit, and our game will become a prosperous and glorious hot hit in the future.

I declare:

From midnight today, "Xingyuan" officially shuts down the active operation of the server. Players can keep all past account data and information. The "Xingyuan" server will continue to operate on the social main server of Terra.

We will no longer provide any form of content updates for it, including anti-third-party plug-ins and information protection measures, as well as shutting down game recognition filters and pain shielding.

For players who still venture into the game world, we cannot guarantee your information security and mental health. For your personal consideration, please choose carefully. Qiqiao Network and the studio staff will not bear any responsibility for any impact of the risky behavior, and all consequences are at your own risk.

Qiqiao Network Studio is officially dissolved.

I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone!

It has been 721 years since Li Aoz withdrew from "Xingyuan".

During this period, Leanding's power continued to grow. After placing his offspring under house arrest, Leanding's life span was greatly extended. However, with the extraction and absorption of Rand Lord's vitality, Leanding's personality became more and more weird.

As one of the oldest gods in Xingyuan, Leanding maintained a calm and calm attitude even in the darkest moments of Xingyuan, resolutely safeguarding the will of Xingyuan and executing its orders. Even if he was used as the first generation server itself, he sold his life and divine power to escort the implementation of the "From Xingyuan" plan.

Even the most extreme gods and warriors and members of the Zhenwu Party would not think that Leanding was an emotional person.

However, the actions of Land Lord and the revolutionary gods seemed to have deeply stimulated the ancient mother. When He chose to imprison his successor and son and suck their life source like blood and marrow, His inner rationality seemed to begin to waver.

Lai Anding is first the supreme leader of the Xingyuan God Clan and the Origin Xingyuan, and secondly the Lord of Redemption. In any case, such a political and spiritual leader must always be cold and rational.

But under this stimulation, He gradually became somewhat alienated.

According to the senior executives of Qiqiao Network (actually the counselors and protectors of the Redemption God Faction):

"After (Rand Lord) was imprisoned, the character of the Mistress began to become richer. She often became sentimental about trivial matters. For some of the death row prisoners who should have been injected into the origin, especially those revolutionary warriors and true warriors Party radicals - these gods are dangerous elements that endanger the organizational structure of Yuanyuan - Her Majesty the Mistress just felt that they looked a little pitiful, so she exempted them from punishment, some were exiled to Yuanyuan, and some were exiled. They are demoted to evil gods, and many people even throw them into the abyss to dig up their soul fragments and undergo labor reform, that's all."

"It is not that no one is aware of His Majesty's changes, but no one dares to question it. His Majesty has turned laws and cabinet meetings into His speaking hall. If anyone dares to raise an opinion, He will not object to it openly, but will say 'How many people will this cost?', 'This will hurt some people's feelings', 'It's not appropriate for those old heroes'... So the reform process was delayed."

"But on the bright side, at least in the past seven hundred years, we have not executed a single compatriot. Yuanyuan basically does not have any resistance forces. Your Majesty relies on 'tolerance' and 'benevolence' and uses pure moral means to Controls the entire universe."

"He is getting farther and farther away from the front line, but he arbitrarily promises a lot of benefits to the gods, completely ignoring the practicality of the policy, and the fact that our Yuanyuan is actually a wasteland, and produces nothing except the gods. Such an objective situation ... Yuanyuan has nothing. What he promises to people needs to be deployed from other star abyss at the risk of being infiltrated by [society], or paid tribute through the underworld. It looks like welfare and care, but in fact it is You are making fun of Yuanyuan’s safety.”

"However, this does not change people's dislike of him. Leanding knows nothing about managing and operating games, but he asked [player] Pryor to customize a set for him that can 'quickly attract players into the trap, quickly allow players to form combat effectiveness, A plan to quickly recover resources through games. He eagerly hopes that the "From the Star Abyss" plan can be completed within a thousand years."

"Pryor told him: On Earth, no game planner can do the above three points at the same time, at most two points at the same time. If someone claims to be able to do it, then it must be a fraud."

"My Majesty didn't take it seriously. He began to override the designer's suggestions and modify the game data himself. In order to cater to His Majesty's idea of ​​increasing the number of players, KitKat Network employees began to place advertisements on a massive scale, organized player groups to besiege non-player groups, and even Through the law, players are required to register a game account to work, play, consume and even go to the toilet - thus forcing others to join the game, and players who do not join the game or register an account will be ostracized and disgusted by the unit. "

"As for quickly making players stronger, it is too simple. Give players plug-ins so that everyone can quickly level up and reach the version limit."

"Recovering invested resources is an important task for maintenance. The problem is also very simple - no longer standardize the internal market rules, let go of all transactions, and leave it to the invisible hands to regulate themselves. If the required resources are insufficient, tasks and requirements will be directly issued. Players can rob in the Star Abyss by themselves, or they can close their eyes and let the players use their subjective initiative. How much money can be extracted from the Star Abyss... it all depends on the player's imagination. Anyway, you can do whatever you want with the plug-in. "

"When anything becomes mandatory, even the gods of Yuanyuan begin to become rebellious. Protests against His Majesty broke out in many places, but the community administrator will activate awareness filters in time to stabilize order."

"In addition, the activities of the Zhenwu Party members have made more people aware of the existence of recognition filters. They have launched several 'wedge removal' campaigns, helping and forcing many players to remove the recognition filters from their necks. Some of the extreme gods began to call themselves the "Free Gods". They joined the Zhenwu Party, and under the leadership of Shen Qing and Atreya Night Breeze, they hid in the white sand wilderness of Yuanyuan to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Redemption Gods. "

"The other part of the awakened spirit warriors are mostly slave laborers and cannon fodder spirits. They are not warriors, they don't have guns in their hands, and they have no sense of faith. Their thoughts are more conservative and they are not optimistic about direct guerrillas. They think they are extreme. The purpose of the faction is only to maintain Yuanyuan's rule. Even if it overthrows the Laian Ding regime, it will only bring the Zhenwu Party to power and support a new main god. "

"So, these low-level gods chose to form the 'Popular Party'. They believed that the only way to completely destroy everything in Yuanyuan and completely subvert the entire Yuanyuan was to make the main gods, gods and slaves no longer have identities. The difference can completely put an end to 'Leanding' itself."

"It's just that compared to the Zhenwu Party who can rely on the divine power of warriors to directly launch armed intervention, violent revolution, and seize resources, the People's Party really has nothing to offer. Even because there is no divine kingdom, no divine power, and no divine throne. , it took them more than four hundred years to figure out the basic program and general line, and it took decades to even confirm the appointment of party members, and even Lai Anding didn't even bother to look at them because they were too weak. "

"During this process, the situation in Xingyuan is also changing drastically."

"[Secret Society] has established more than 6,000 settlements of Earthlings in the three layers of Xingyuan: Zhouyuan, Jingyuan, and Chengyuan. They have continuously occupied the starry sky of the indigenous people through soft colonization. At the same time, they vigorously spread secret beliefs and the concept of "Pan-Lukas". As long as they meet the requirements of "carbon-based creatures, humanoid, no reproductive isolation from the human race in the universe, and speak English", they are classified as Earthlings."

"Such a diversified approach has dealt a heavy blow to the narratives of Xingyuan.

The Void believes that this is a blasphemy against nihilism and demands a sacred war to eliminate heretical ideologies;

Jingyuan believes that too many settlements of Earthlings have destroyed the natural environment of this layer, especially those "Tatar-Slavic" mixed races, which have squeezed out the ecological niches of the indigenous people. They are more adapted to wide plains and have fast Developed technology. In addition, the tragedy of Oshulia brought serious panic to the people of this universe, and people from all countries continued to support the federation to expand the "water war";

In the Abyss, the three narratives chose to unite to jointly curb the Pan-Luca concept-the three narratives have about 30% of the human race in the universe. Once these stable resources are lost, the inherent time domain and the generation of artificial gods will be severely damaged. "

"Source Abyss has gained control of the garrisons of the six major star abysses through secret peace agreements and players of the "From Star Abyss" plan. But Leanding seems to have forgotten one thing: before, the people of Star Abyss supported the players and these adventers because they protected Star Abyss, fought against the enemies on the [social] side, constantly helped the weak, punished evil and eliminated traitors, and had no unified organization, which is why they gained the Star Abyss. The tolerance and even acceptance of the major forces in the Abyss. "

"The people of Xingyuan do not respect the immortal messengers from the ancient Yuanyuan. They respect those who fight for them again and again, even if they are just players in the game world."

"When the adventers of the Yuanyuan are no longer simple players, no longer take it as their mission to fight against [society] and save Xingyuan, but a group of cheating groups with external plug-ins in their hands, not bound by the law, with a sharp decline in quality and no guaranteed income - then the people of Xingyuan will no longer welcome players. "

"In just seven hundred years and 30 versions, even the players who opened the server of "Xingyuan" were forced to go along with the crowd and began to circle the land and run horses in various levels of Xingyuan, invade the land of the indigenous people, form gangs, and support puppet regimes. Especially those who entered the Qunyuan early and started the Qunyuan-featured chicken-eating competition The players who ascended to the gods, not only had a huge number of them, but also had plug-ins in hand. They quickly turned the local narrative civilization into a colony and even monopolized the god positions. The god positions that were occasionally produced and excavated were only spread and traded among a few oligarch players. "

"If this continues, it won't take a thousand years for the players to dive into the Abyss and truly open up the channel between the Layer Abyss and the Source Abyss. The plan of "From the Star Abyss" will be either available or not. Under the current trend, in another hundred years, the five-layer Star Abyss will soon become a dual colony of the Earth and the Source Abyss. "

"Your Majesty Leanding, what a strange woman. "

"She is cautious, gentle and kind. She dares not even kill a sparrow, but she can watch the lives of billions of people in the five-layer Star Abyss become colonies and slaves of the country. "

"A woman who even said "this is too extravagant" when drinking a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, but she didn't care about giving all five universes to the alien races on Earth. "

"As a mother, she seems too cold-blooded to drain her son alive. As a political leader, she is too kind. She even feels pity for a dangerous person like Fu Shen who has been demoted to an evil god twice. Isn't she afraid that if Fu Shen returns with Geo Jaguar and Leozi, the first thing he will do is to cut off her head and hang it in the Milky Way as the sun? "

"Although [Player] said that he gave Leozi very generous conditions and persuaded him to retire, not to ask about Xingyuan, not to touch the army, and not to form a party - but the idol in the hearts of those slave laborers, cannon fodder, and civilians is still the "last hero" Leozi who came from the bottom, had power in the government, and usurped power to establish himself, even after 721 years. "

"Leozi rose twice. Even if Prior used the so-called "honey trap" to persuade him to stay away from the revolution, this threat still exists...but His Majesty is not worried at all. "

"From the beginning, His Majesty Leanding knew everything. "

"Sides was robbed by Leoz, Leoz and Sides had a decisive battle, and Leoz forced Jingyuan to resist the invasion of the earth-until Leoz was about to shake Yuanyuan's regime, Prior finally couldn't sit still, so he took the initiative to persuade Leoz to succeed, which led to today's peace. "

"But, Your Majesty didn't pay attention to Leoz. "

"They are not comrades-in-arms. When Leoz was fighting on the front line, Your Majesty was busy with production and breeding in the rear. Leanding has never been a partner of the other five gods. He is the guide and translator of Xingyuan's will. Therefore, He has reason to look down on other gods. "

"From Leanding's perspective, it is understandable. Your Majesty has always felt that the soldiers in the front just need to sacrifice their lives, and simply die and kill, but He has to endure endless labor and breeding work, and continue to manage politics. "

"That's how Yuanyuan is. Everything is doomed from the beginning. Geniuses and fools, happiness and pain, are all planned early on. Destiny is fixed, unexplorable, unanswerable, and unexplorable, because the stars There is no god in Yuan who dares to call it 'destiny'. Even if there is, it is only good luck or bad luck. No one dares to challenge fate itself, let alone talk about arrogance and violation. "

"You were born as cannon fodder. That's because the will of the Star Abyss is the result of precise calculations and massive data. Don't feel sorry for it, because compared to 99% of the lives in the upper five levels of the Star Abyss, He They are not even gods. You are a god after all. The cannon fodder gods are also gods. At least you have the status and power to surpass ninety-nine percent of all lives. You should be satisfied. "

"...Before the war outside the Abyss, you can say this about Xingyuan."

"In the era of the war outside the Houyuan, the defeat destroyed the glory and power of the Xingyuan God Clan. The universe outside the Abyss was swallowed up by the [society]. The defeated soldiers either surrendered, occupied the mountain as kings, and lived in seclusion, or they willingly degenerated into evil gods and acted recklessly. That The once glorious and glorious Great Star Abyss era was gone forever, and Yuan Yuan himself had to rely on the power of slave workers and cannon fodder to resurrect those fallen warriors and start the "From Star Abyss" project."

"Among the countless cannon fodder gods and slave labor gods, there is actually nothing special about Leoz."

"Ordinary, numb, ordinary, silent, down-to-earth - a very mediocre cannon fodder god. It's not that Leanding has never thought about the threat of Leoz, but no matter how His Majesty thinks about it, he can only blame the times for Leoz's success. coincidence."

"But this is what makes Him special."

"One ordinary person is greater than ten thousand great people."

"Like a spark piercing the night sky, even if it is fleeting, it tears a wound into the dark world. The night in the old era was not afraid that this small wound would make it bleed to death. What the night is afraid of is Countless creatures saw the light and enjoyed the short-lived warmth, so they had the courage and hope to stand up and open the sky together, letting the sun shine on the earth, and then changed the world."

"A Leoz, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"But ten, hundreds, thousands of enslaved and oppressed gods all regarded Leos as a role model, began to praise themselves as Leos, imitated his life path, and climbed to the top by any means. This is more permeable than the cultural penetration of the earth's people. Even scarier!”

"So Leos can't die. If he dies, he will become a saint, and there will never be any new stains. No matter what innovative ideas there are in the future, people will slap their heads and say, 'This is nothing like Leos. The original idea was very similar, let’s do it’.”

"How is this still a god? How is it different from a mortal?"

"After the defeat in the war outside the Abyss, the superior gods still wanted to control the mortal beings in the Star Abyss, so when they began to formulate a narrative, they were no different from the mortals they used to look down on."

"There are no gods in Xingyuan anymore. Everyone is part of the grand narrative framework and system. As long as you are in this system, no one can circumvent all this to think, learn, understand and improve."

"We laugh at mortals for their inefficiency, vulgarity, and incompetence, with their messy and meaningless emotions. But in fact, when our narrative is structured, our emotional culture will only be richer and more complex than theirs. It can no longer be said, except for strength and this porcelain skin Apart from jade bones, what’s the difference between us and mortals?”

"... Now, times have changed again. Leanding is moody and often gets angry. Due to several unsatisfactory changes, a large number of players abandoned the game. She simply gave up control of the game and locked herself in her residence. KitKat The huge structure of the Internet collapsed in an instant, and our past ideals and careers collapsed overnight, but everything about the "From the Star Abyss" project is still going on. "

"Even gods will start to act unscrupulously because they are not restrained by morality and law. The lack of order within the game will make a group of people show their primitive and bloody appearance. We are not creatures that developed from single cells. We are not born with We kill in order to survive, so we don’t have the gene for killing in our bones... But in the long-term narrative civilization process, we have become civilized people, so we have also obtained the prerequisites for civilization in a subtle way—— brutal."

"Barbarism is the prerequisite for civilization. Civilization is the prerequisite for society."

"The people of Star Abyss are now facing the oppressive rule of two barbaric monsters that look different but are the same in their bones. One is called Earth, and the other is called Yuan Yuan."

"This is the conclusion that I have reached through continuous observation of the world for seven hundred years through various channels and combined with my personal feelings."

"To change this situation, there is only one solution..."

…………………………

[Should I continue writing? 】

The pen tip paused on the paper.

[I am no longer a part of this. Whether I live or die, or what happens in the future, it will not affect my treatment. 】

His eyes passed over the desk and the surrounding furnishings one by one: handmade bookcases imported from Jingyuan, original ancient books handed down from ancient times, the head of the Lord of the Void, family photos of a family of five...

[I am no longer a low-level being. Neither Xingyuan nor the Earth will let me die. I am a member of the ruling class, a member of the powerful, totally different from the toiling masses and the untouchables. ]

[If that is the case, why am I still competing with those low-level people? They are like leeks. When the Earthlings come, they cut them. When the Yuanyuan Gods come, they cut them. But as long as the roots are not cut, they can never be cut cleanly. ]

[Stupid, selfish, and stupid. They don't know how to work hard when they have a little assets. They always squander and enjoy at will, and don't think about what will happen tens of thousands of years later. These are the low-level people and animals. They have no lofty ideals, no true self, and never devote themselves to any noble cause. They are completely humble, low-class, and a group of two-legged animals that are allowed to exist only for the survival of the nobles and the elites. ]

[I used to be at the same level as them, but not now. Even if I have been in the past few lives, trillions of years, until the end of the universe, I am a stable elite and enjoyer in this universe. The more I spend, the more two-legged animals I can feed. The less I spend, the more "thrifty" I am, the more wealth will accumulate in me, and eventually there will not be enough wealth in society, which will cause wars and disputes. 】

【The more I donate to those two-legged animals, the lazier they become, and they even lose their original abilities. The money I give them in the morning goes to casinos and pimps in the afternoon. It's ridiculous. I might as well invest in casinos and clubs, at least I can solve some employment problems. 】

【They are poor, they are lazy, they don't know what to ask for, they are stupid and blind, they are pathetic, they deserve it, they deserve it... This is Xingyuan. Even the weakest cannon fodder and slave gods are nobler than workers and farmers. 】

【Birth determines the foundation of the building, and the rest is just adding a few bricks and tiles. 】

【Kings, princes, generals and ministers are of different species, but being able to become intelligent creatures and live in civilization is an extremely low probability event. 】

【Xingyuan did not reincarnate, his soul returned to the underworld, the water flow shattered it, and he recreated his soul and reincarnated again. Who knows what he will be in the next life. 】

【These seven hundred years of retirement life made me realize one thing: I am not a great person, not a genius, nor a protagonist. 】

【In these seven hundred years, I have not done anything great. I have no vigorous love, and I have failed in raising my children. Even if my descendants are prosperous and wealthy, it is only because of my protection and my capital. 】

【If all my children are like this, then to be honest, it is better for me and Zhixiang to have tens of millions of toys. 】

【In this process, I can understand the thoughts of some nihilists: genius is just a very small number of mutations, life itself has no meaning, and seeking meaning is even more ridiculous. A king with many children and many blessings is no different from cancer cells. 】

【I happened to become a usurper tyrant by coincidence and historical opportunity. 】

【Anyone who stood in my era, as long as he dared to swing the sword, could achieve a status no less than mine. 】

【I am satisfied with everything I have now. This is all I deserve. 】

【I am no longer a cannon fodder god, nor a mercenary who wants to earn blood wages. I have been an emperor, a father, an oligarch, a president, and a god. I have accepted everything, and all these privileges will definitely not disappear with the change of dynasties. 】

【Why should I abandon all this? 】

【Only the lower-class animals need to struggle. I no longer have this motivation. For the rest, just muddle through and wait for the end of the world to come. 】

………………………………

“To change this situation, there is only one solution…”

Li Aoz did not continue writing, but stopped:

“I no longer need to fight, and there is no need to think about things in the long run. Those things have nothing to do with me.”

He stood up, sorted out the manuscript, and put the article titled “Coexistence and Disputes under the Double Helix System of Xingyuan and Earth” into the bottom of a sturdy box.

Although he had not finished writing this big book, Li Aoz still carefully smoothed the paper, put on the protective materials, and put his former sword, weapons, equipment, and asset certificates into it one by one.

After thinking about it, Li Aoz still did not take the Void Spirit Doll Fitris from the True General. In fact, he had not switched to the True General's trumpet for a long time.

After more than 700 years, even if it was a stone, it should have developed feelings.

He had long stopped asking about the situation over there, and it was what it was.

The True General had been fighting for him for so long, and he should have his own life. After more than 700 years, he didn't even know if his trumpet was still there.

Li Aoz carried the box and slowly walked down the stairs. He was the only one in the empty manor. Although the Empire sent people to clean and maintain it to keep it at least clean and tidy, the lonely atmosphere in the air could not be erased.

His manor was not big, with only 30,000 acres of fertile land and 20,000 square kilometers of forest farm. It was purchased by his first wife, Di Yalan. Li Aozi didn't like noisy places. There was no one to be seen in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land.

He didn't feel lonely. It seemed that because of his cannon fodder god origin, Li Aozi had few hobbies. The last child who accompanied him was the descendant of the descendant of the descendant of a certain imperial [mechanic] with his 18th wife... Maybe a great-granddaughter?

The great-granddaughter named Li Meifang had no feelings for him. She just wanted to find him for some money after a failed investment, so she came to serve him enthusiastically for a few months.

Li Aozi didn't have many needs. His daily life was very casual. In addition to reading books and watching the news, he practiced Taoism, burned incense and worshipped the Three Pure Ones, and studied and translated Taoist scriptures on Earth. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would make elixirs, tell fortunes, draw talismans and exorcise ghosts.

The only thing he insisted on doing was forging iron.

He made one thing every day, regardless of the shape and type, one thing a day, without fail.

One day, he casually threw a bead he made to Li Meifang, and she excitedly kowtowed to her cheap grandfather a few times, and ran away the next day.

Li Aoz had changed 27 wives and countless partners.

Before he got divorced, he started to bring women home. Di Yalan did not object and often talked to him about those who admired and pursued him.

On the contrary, when Li Aoz was too lazy to bring women home, Di Yalan could no longer stand him.

Including his first wife Di Yalan, he did not remember the appearance of any of them. As long as someone dared to propose to him, he would agree. Even if he knew that the other party was coming for his property, Li Aoz did not care.

It was not because of how strong his needs were that he would not refuse anyone, but in his opinion, these creatures, whether ugly or beautiful, all looked the same.

The more time passed, the worse Li Aoz's ability to judge people became.

When he retired for about 300 years, Li Aoz found that as long as he was not careful, he could no longer distinguish the appearance of Di Yalan from other women.

This feeling is not strange. It is the same when humans look at ants. If they do not distinguish carefully, few people can tell the different types of ants at a glance, especially carefully distinguishing which ant is called, who it is, and what it does.

Li Aoz did not become romantic because of too many wives and partners, but became more cold and boring.

Di Yalan tried countless ways to please him, make him happy, and try to make Li Aoz live like a normal person.

Li Aoz also tried it at first. He tried to cooperate with Di Yalan and act as a model husband, boyfriend, and lover.

But he failed soon.

The more he sought excitement, the higher Li Aoz's threshold increased. In the end, even death could not excite him.

The more he cooperated with the performance, the less enthusiastic Li Aoz was about love and family affection. His acting skills fooled all outsiders, but he could not fool those close to him.

The ability to love and be loved became dull because of love and gradually disappeared.

After Di Yalan divorced him, she became much more enthusiastic. I heard that she joined the New Life Commune later, and it was the most dangerous interstellar stormtrooper.

At first, Li Aoz's personal news was still a hot topic, but it was only spread within the Empire. Later, the Crown Prince of the Empire helped him throw the information into the black hole, forcibly suppressing the heat, and no one talked about him anymore.

After Di Yalan came out again, she became a great hero of the Abyss, repeatedly completing incredible rescue missions, and successively repelling [Society] members, player gangs and evil god believers, which greatly increased her prestige.

After divorcing Li Aoz, she gave up her nationality in the Empire and became very radical in her thinking. Even in the Pan-Life Progressive Revolutionary Committee, which is famous for its radicalism, she is a bit extreme. If it were an ordinary person, he might be corrupted by [Society] if he didn't pay attention.

But Di Yalan was special as a dragon-dead weapon. From the moment she was born, she was meant to slaughter [Society].

After the breakup with Li Aoz, she became more determined in her thinking and completely abandoned her personal feelings.

Without any emotion in her heart, she was even more ruthless. The connections and resources she had accumulated over the years also made her strength improve rapidly. Not long ago, she had followed the arrangement of the Revolutionary Committee and went to Qunyuan to start work, and looked for opportunities to establish a base, preparing to ascend to the godhood in the future.

In addition to Di Yalan, some acquaintances occasionally came back to see him.

For example, the former people and refugees of Baizhu Star and Weilan Star, they knew that the former president had retired and retired, and they directly sent a spaceship to accuse Leoz of abandoning them and ignoring their lives.

Some people were more impulsive and burned a fish that he had finally caught.

Instead, the prince of the Empire State, Mistofen, was more concerned about him.

Mistofen was much more mature than before. Hundreds of years had turned this young man who once looked like a county civil servant into a middle-aged man who looked like a city civil servant.

No matter how powerful his identity was, Mistofen always had the temperament of a citizen civil servant, without any airs, and occasionally a little bit of a loser, and a little aggrieved when complaining about things.

Compared to the hundreds of blood relatives who have no feelings for him and only occasionally come to Lao Deng to get gold coins, Li Aozi has a good relationship with the prince. The two of them go fishing, play chess, and talk about philosophy and life together when they have the chance.

The prince is not like other people. He is very concerned about Li Aozi's mental state. He suggested that Li Aozi go out and walk around. He will give him privileges and allow himself to leave the empire.

He even joked that he would go to the Qianyuan Port Office in Qunyuan to serve as a diplomatic ambassador.

However, Li Ozi was worried that this would break the agreement with Prior, so even though the prince made it clear that he would open a back door for him, he did not accept it.

The prince just said it was a pity.

"Sir Leos, even if you are an ordinary person, you have gone through so many things and have been polished from a piece of stone into a fine jade. If you just stay here, it will be a waste of the universe and the abyss to train you. The resources should be used to do something big."

"The prince is joking. I am an old man who even dislikes my wife. I have nothing to praise. Even if I do, it was only when I was young."

"Sir Leos, don't you feel that you are still young? Look at you, you are still beautiful and tall after seven hundred years. With many years of study, you look even more calm, wise, and have many tricky opinions. Even His Majesty the Philosopher King It’s not possible to achieve it without computing power.”

"It's just a matter of borrowing the dividends of the times. I am an ordinary person and cannot be put to much use."

"You really... keep your word, Mr. Leos."

The prince always persuaded him to serve the empire when he had the opportunity, or later he didn't even say it was for the empire, but the starting point was for Xingyuan, for the grand narrative, and for the people.

Li Ozi did not waver. He politely declined the invitation each time.

Originally they would have been very close friends.

But not long after, the "Earth-Star Abyss Friendship and Peaceful Development Agreement" was signed.

This extremely shameful agreement involved all universes except Yuan Yuan in the colonial war. The philosopher king of the empire had to leave the empire due to war issues, and all matters fell on the prince regent.

So he lost even this only companion.

Li Ozi moved the box, which was filled with everything he had accumulated in his life, recording evidence of his wisdom and glory. He came to the depths of the manor's woods and stopped under a birch tree.

This tree is the straightest and prettiest.

In the dense forest, in order to compete for sunlight, the trees all stand tall and spread out their green leaves, blocking out the sky and the sun. The javelin-like trees are close to each other, and the same kind of trees are rolling in and out. As a result, no grass could grow on the ground beneath our feet, and a green desert evolved.

Competition in nature is like this, pure and unmalicious, life and death.

Civilized people are very strange. They launch wars and plunders, promulgate laws, and appease the people in order to survive, but they still have to find an excuse.

Distributing benefits and looting and killing are essentially the same thing.

Li Ozi dug a hole under the birch tree and buried the box deep inside.

A shovelful of ashes and a shovelful of soil bury the years and character.

A handful of sand and a handful of grass, leaving hope behind and looking past.

Li Ozi covered the soil with turf and quietly made his hope:

"I hope I never have the chance to dig it out again in this life."

Let everything that once belonged to the legendary life of "Lee Ozi" stay here.

What he once hoped for was now so much that he was tired of it and even numb.

What he once loathed and hated now made him what he was.

Time has passed, 721 years have passed, and Li Ozi has completely accepted a fact:

"If I didn't have those opportunities, I would be an ordinary person and I wouldn't do anything dangerous."

"Those rebels and revolutionaries, as long as they have a mouth to eat, they will live peacefully like me. They will marry a wife and have children, then spend the rest of their lives forgotten by others and buried in an unknown corner."

"Thank you Mr. Pryor for fulfilling my dream of living a normal, normal life."

"Everything about me was given by the times, and my legend was created because of my unwillingness. Now, the legend is gone, and I have turned a blind eye to the happiness, anger, sorrow, love and hatred of mortals."

"Even if there are a lot of descendants, but you are alone and end up with no one caring about you, even if your blood is endless, what's the point? Hundreds of billions of years, the sun and the moon have changed, but in the end, there is only a dead bone in the grave and an ear."

"The only saying is this: There are few people who have great ambitions and unfulfilled ambitions. They travel thousands of miles to search for the title of marquis. The old man opens his eyes and sees no one. He lies on the dragon's bed and feels sad."

Li Aozi's Chinese proficiency has improved a lot. He has already reached the level of his native language. He also has a bit of a Central Plains accent. This kind of limerick has long been forgotten and blurted out.

It's just that the difference in talent is here. Even if he has studied for hundreds of years, he is still not as good as sages like Li Du. Whether it is artistic conception or wording, they are far behind.

This actually deepened Li Ozi's thoughts:

[In the six-level Star Abyss system dominated by Yuan Yuan, everything is destined. Even if you work hard to become a god, you are just climbing from a caste society to a higher caste society. 】

Destiny is in Xingyuan, and there is no exclusive god.

Because everything has been determined from the moment of birth.

He, Leos, is an ordinary cannon fodder god with no talents and no other meaning except that he happens to be stuck at that point in time.

To this day, Li Ozi no longer doubts the purpose of his birth, nor does he think about his own strengths and advantages.

None of this makes sense.

In the Ming Empire on earth, there is a man named Fan Jin. Even if he wins the imperial examination at the age of fifty, he can still stand out and immediately become a member of the ruling class, changing his fate against the odds.

But in Xingyuan, this is impossible.

All narratives are just about raising the people at the bottom to be fat and strong so that they can continue to reproduce, replenish energy for their own inherent time domain, and provide a population of believers for artificial gods.

To put it bluntly, in Xingyuan, even if a mortal lives a good life, he is just a pig.

On Earth, a system similar to the imperial examination or various examinations can give the pigs at the bottom the opportunity to stand up and become masters.

But in Xingyuan, it is impossible.

Even he, Leoz, was a cannon fodder at the end, so he could reach this point.

Those mortal beings without roots, power or bloodline have no power to determine their own destiny.

This is the reason why Li Ozi really decided to let go of everything.

He can be the agent, but he can never be the main god.

A beauty and elite like Di Yalan could be husband and wife with him for hundreds of years, but once she saw his true nature, Di Yalan immediately woke up and gave up on him without hesitation, choosing the one she was born with. mission, keep fighting.

What mission does Li Ozi have?

He stood in front of the birch tree, raised his hand and stroked the rough and straight trunk of the birch tree:

"White birch tree, white birch tree, what's the difference between me and you? We don't have any inherent mission. We are just fighting for a ray of sunshine and a piece of life, and we have struggled like this for a hundred years."

"Di Yalan, Shen Shen, Gio Skua, Gaia, these people are all good, they are noble, they have backbone, they have ideals and beliefs - while we are still struggling for life and death, they are fighting for morality and justice. Sacrifice for your ambition!”

"But we really just want to live."

Li Ozi smiled and patted the tree trunk, talking to it like a brother:

"Even if I have a huge fortune, I don't know how to spend it. Even if I have a lot of wives and concubines around me, I don't know how to be beautiful or ugly. We are all vulgar and ordinary people."

"What's the difference between me, a cannon fodder god in Xingyuan, and a farmer in Henan? What does enjoying life mean to us? Just a bowl of spicy soup, a plate of fried steamed buns, a plate of fried buns, and Panjing at noon. Mix noodles with mustard, cook a bowl of sweet potato and corn grits in the evening, and drink mutton soup the next day - oh! How beautiful is this life? Trees, trees, if I could have them earlier. If I live like this, will I usurp the power of a ball?”

"A person like me has struggled for two lifetimes. I have been killing people until I was exiled by Gaia, and I have been killing people until I was "recruited" by the court. Both sides have paid a thousand times the price for the same result."

Li Ozi sighed:

"Tell me, what is it trying to do? I really can't figure it out!"

"As long as Xingyuan asks me to be an ordinary blacksmith with three meals a day, not to seek knowledge and reach the princes, but only to save my life in troubled times, I will be satisfied - but even this requirement was not met at the beginning. If you don’t want to satisfy me, I will stop until Lai Anding is beaten to the point of revolution.”

"I can't get it, I really can't get it!"

"I can obviously be an ordinary person, and I have proved it. I don't have any special talents, but whether it's Laian Ding, Gaia, or Xingyuan Will, everyone has to be beaten by me. Realized 'Leotz is just a normal person'."

"If they have some self-awareness, should I hit them?"

"It's fine now. They paid a huge price to please me in exchange for me not continuing to participate in the Xingyuan situation and not wanting me to die. All my wishes have been fulfilled - but I no longer have the ability to live a normal life. ”

There were many times when they could have intervened and asked them to stop, so why did it come to this?

Whether it's Di Yalan or Yu Shen, they are not from the same group as him.

In a sense, they are the chosen ones, born with talents and missions.

On the contrary, Red King, that guy is very similar to me.

But even Red King, at least when she was born, was a normal person. At least she still had the blood of an Earthling.

What does he have?

A body of cannon fodder, an order to die, and a task of taking the blame.

Li Ozi often wonders: What would happen if he was born on earth?

He is confident that he will become a good blacksmith, a good farmer, and a good warrior, and maybe he can also accumulate fertile farmland through his military exploits. These are all his own. He will be a simple and honest man, and then spend his life like this. Enough.

He liked and longed for this kind of life.

But Xingyuan was not willing to give him even such a life. Instead, as he accumulated more and more credit, the interest on the debt increased, and finally he became what he is now.

It's not that Li Ozi doesn't like this, he has never enjoyed anything after all these years.

He just couldn't understand why the damn Xingyuan higher-ups were so stupid when an ordinary person like him could see the fact.

The leaders of Xingyuan, the Lian Ding clan, are purely non-violent and non-cooperative.

That is: they will not cooperate with you unless they threaten violence or beating.

However, he no longer worries about this.

721 years have passed, and the situation in Xingyuan has changed drastically. All of this was within Li Ozi's expectation.

As for the ordinary people at the bottom, struggling to survive in the cracks, the fate of slave workers and cannon fodder gods who have the same status as him...

After Fan Jin won the election, did he still need to deal with his former compatriots?

He has already got everything he has got, and he has everything he wants and doesn't need in this life.

Safety, neither the Earth nor the Yuanyuan Protoss want him to die.

Lifespan, my own lifespan is long enough, it may not be comparable to quality, but for the gods, it is not much worse.

The ideal is too rich in material and has been diluted.

Faith, I converted to the Taoism of the people on earth, and I have been seeking immortality for a long time, which is basically the same.

Inheritance, there are many children, spiritual inheritance is dispensable, it is no longer necessary.

After much deliberation, Li Aozi really didn't know what he was dissatisfied with from a practical point of view.

Death is something he doesn’t want to die. Even if he says he’s tired of living, he can’t ‘kill’ himself.

"I have struggled for two lifetimes...to end up like this."

Li Ozi murmured, stroking the bark of the birch tree:

"Brother Shu, what do you think my life is?"

"The tree said: I am just a tree. How can I think so much? If I think too much, I will start working."

‘Confrontation’ Milled Fannie’s voice sounded in Li Ozi’s ears.

"you're awake?"

Li Ozi glanced at the woman next to him. Mired was yawning. She seemed to have just woken up. Except for her purple hair, which was messy, she looked no different from hundreds of years ago.

Of course, so does he.

"I took a nap for a while. I originally wanted to come and play with you as soon as I woke up, but I encountered some interesting things on the way, so I stayed with them for a few hundred years."

Although they were physically close and had a common heir, Mired did not appear to be very affectionate when facing Li Ozi. The distance between the two was more than one meter, and their expressions were lukewarm.

She stood next to Li Ozi with one hand on her hip, looked up and down at the birch tree in front of her, and said:

"You should live a short-lived life and live a long-lived life."

"Get used to it, live a fulfilling life." Li Ozi replied.

"Then you will definitely always have a sad face and a restless mind." Mired said: "The secret of immortality is to not care. Just like this tree, no matter how the outside world changes, it only cares about its own development. "

Li Ozi said: "Are you encouraging me to be selfish?"

"Dear, complete unselfishness and complete selfishness are equally bad. People who are too fair cannot give love to those who love themselves, and people who are too selfish are unwilling to give even a little bit of love to those who love them. like."

Mired Youyou said:

"You seemed to be doing well when I wasn't around you?"

"It is the happiest period of my life."

"Li Ozi, your definition of happiness does not include love, right?"

"I have quite a wife."

"That's not love, my dear, they come here for money, beauty, status and vanity. People who truly love you want you to become better, better and more beautiful."

"Love is a kind of selfish giving. You want to use yourself to give in exchange for the other person's equal contribution. Then everyone will gain and grow together in the process, and the relationship will be more stable, forming a stable spiral structure."

"That is: the more we love each other, the more inseparable the love becomes, the deeper the power of both parties becomes, and each other is influenced by the other, becoming a relationship in which I am in you and you are in me."

Mired said calmly:

"You are no different now than before. This kind of life may not be suitable for your growth."

Li Ozi glanced at Milad:

"I feel like you're not talking about love."

"We have an equal relationship, Mr. Leos. With our relationship, it is a bit too vulgar to talk about love."

Mired raised his hand and picked up a branch. The elements changed and combined, and he quickly made two cups of coffee, and handed one to Li Aozi:

"I remember you don't like sugar."

"Thanks."

Li Ozi took the coffee and took a sip. It had no taste, just ordinary coffee.

So he put the coffee aside and looked at Mired:

"Mired, your purpose of coming this time is not simple, right?"

"I'm here to see how my little boyfriend is doing, okay?"

"How can you assume my gender?" Li Ozi joked: "I can still turn into a beautiful girl with flaming hair at any time."

"Well, at least you're your little boyfriend now."

Mired shrugged and said casually:

"But you guessed it right, I do have a question for you."

"whats the matter?"

"Do you know a man named Delvelyn?"

"Delveline?" Li Ozi was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "The name sounds a bit familiar...Delveline...Delveline?"

"That's him too."

Mired blinked:

"Great, it seems you know him!"

"We are acquaintances. The former President of the Blue Star Frost-plated Federation, a very courageous mortal. He is known as the 'Lion' and 'The Last Man of Frost-plated'. It seems that I am a fellow countryman."

Li Ozi nodded and said directly without hiding anything:

"But President David Lin died hundreds of years ago, and we were parted not long ago. His daughter Dai Yawen was imprisoned in a covert arrest. Later, her brain and career were probably extracted, and she was tortured to death. She was once with I have a bit of fate, chasing me all the way from the Blue Star to the White Candle Star.”

"Ah, those are not important."

Mired shook her index finger and said with a smile:

"It's enough to know Delverin. I'm here just for him."

Li Aozi was surprised and immediately asked:

"He? President David Lin has been dead for eight hundred years, and the food grown from his ashes has been metabolized. Why should we look for him?"

"I'll keep my promise."

Mired said calmly:

"A long time ago, to be precise, after you solved the evil crisis on the Blue Star, we gradually began to negotiate with each other. Now, we finally completed the negotiations and reached an agreement on this."

"protocol?"

"An agreement...to confront 'our' real enemy."

Mired put away her smile, looked at Li Ozi seriously, and asked seriously:

"Sir Leos, who do you think our real enemy is?"

"That's too much... The three great destroyers, the Yuan Yuan ruling class, and [the secret society] Gaia, they are all terrifying and powerful enemies."

Li Ozi said without thinking:

"If we want to put it first, then the Earth is the real enemy. The Earth and our Galaxy are in a double helix system. As long as the other side exists, war will always occur. The other party must be completely destroyed before the Galaxy can have peace and self-development. Time, at least for a period of time, will not allow the birth of a new civilization in the world where the earth is located."

"You are right, absolutely right! Mr. Leoz, there are few people in this universe who are more qualified to say this than you. You also have a long-term vision, and you are much more thoughtful than those ordinary people."

Mired smiled and said:

"Unfortunately, you can only see a little further than ordinary people."

"Sir Leos, let me ask you: Which is more terrifying, poverty or tyrants?"

Li Ozi replied: "Poverty. A tyrant is just a person, and his harm is limited, but poverty can be passed down from generation to generation, endlessly."

"Let me ask you again: Which is the greater threat, chaos or tyranny?"

Li Ozi said: "It must be chaos. Chaos breeds not only casualties and fights, but also the maintainers of chaos, gangs, violent organizations, and oligarchs. Chaos comes with it. No matter how bad the tyranny is, it is still better than the best chaos. Be strong.”

"So let me ask you: Which is more dangerous, stasis or movement?"

Hearing this, Li Aozi was stunned for a moment.

"What is stagnant and what is moving needs to be explained clearly. You can't just compare it like this, right?"

"Everything...everything."

Mired said seriously:

"Atoms and quarks stopped moving, social development stagnated, financial capital was no longer active, life fell into a frozen state, light stayed in the sky, void could not decay, entropy did not increase or decrease, all energy stopped converting - the whole world fell into to the eternal state.”

"The world is in motion, our world, whether it is the Star Abyss or the Earth, it is all the same. Although there is death and destruction, as long as the motion is absolute, then sooner or later there will be rebirth. The dead will not come back, but the population will remain the same It can be added that there are still flowers blooming on the ruined land - it is precisely because everything is in motion. Even if the star abyss and the earth are destroyed, as long as enough time accumulates, sooner or later they can return to their original appearance and even become better. powerful."

"It is because of this that the double helix structure of the earth and the star abyss has created more prosperous cultures in the constant fighting and struggle. The relationship between us and the earth is like lovers, and we have gradually become you and me. It’s already inseparable from your status.”

"Although from Xiao Quexing's perspective, we are fighting life and death, but from a larger perspective than narrative: the contradiction between the Star Abyss and the Earth, fighting with children, competition among vendors, and neighbor relations, there is no such thing as What an essential difference. It is precisely to maintain this state of competition that the universe can continue to be active."

"Life lies in movement. For more and more people, Xingyuan and the earth will continue to fight."

"The Destroyers themselves also exist to maintain this system. So although the Destroyers come to destroy our world, they are just anti-virus software and are not our enemies."

"Gaia is a rebel, a rebel against the atrocities of Mephidrian rule, so Gaia is not our enemy - you may not be happy to say this, but it is true, and if you were in Gaia's position, you would too Make the same decision as Gaia.”

Just when Li Ozi was about to refute, Mired said again:

"The Gods of Yuanyuan have a conservative and backward side, but they are also the existence that implements the will of Xingyuan. We must not define the entire Yuanyuan as an enemy just because of Laian Ding's personal image. Their existence maintains the double helix. The structure operates, and the six-layer star abyss becomes active as a result. The colonial war is just a short-term pain in this process. "

"Our real enemy is stagnation, stillness."

Li Ozi frowned. Seeing that he didn't understand, Mired explained again:

"That is... eternity."

eternal.

Like a stone thrown into the center of the lake.

The next moment, a huge wave surged in Li Ozi's mind.

His lips moved and he squeezed out two words:

"……eternal?"

"Yes, eternity."

"Are you talking about the kind of immortality that Red King hopes for? There's nothing scary about that kind of thing, right? Isn't that what you are in a certain sense?"

"Yes, and no. I don't know what eternity Red King desires. Maybe she just wants to live longer and then find the meaning of life. But the eternity I tell you about is the truly terrifying existence."

Ancient original species like 'Quality' Mired Finney couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a deep gaze, and said solemnly:

"Eternity has a name, and its name is Star God. The Star God is Astrara."

"Astrara is a destroyer that is purer than the Destroyer. The Destroyer is just a program that runs the rules of the world and maintains the order of the universe. Even if there are no three destroyers like Dragon King Demon Eye Titan, there are hundreds or thousands of other messy things. The purpose is to maintain the 'metabolism', prevent the universe from rigidifying, and accumulate into a disgusting and inefficient mountain of shit code, and regularly uninstall, reinstall and update. That's all. "

"But Astra is different."

"It is not a destroyer, it is not a destroyer, it is a will, a heritage, and those who inherit its mantle will become indelible death-defying people. Not undead, but rebels who resist all constraints and suppression of their survival."

"It is poverty, chaos, and stagnation."

"In order to survive, Astra has endless descendants. Even if it dies thousands of times, it can return from the long river of blood of its descendants. It is the ancestor of the source of blood, but it is committed to subverting the laws of biological evolution."

"In order to survive, Astra will always resist all laws and rules. It tramples on all attempts to suppress and erase its order, and even the laws of nature will be torn into pieces. If gravity suppresses its growth, it will bite and devour the structure of gravity, and the whole body will expand and grow without limit. Go."

"In order to survive, after Astrara grows to a certain stage, its huge body will become like a black hole, no, it is far better than a black hole, it is a force that can solidify all movement. Any attack hitting its armor will stay at the moment before the impact."

"The most terrifying thing is that Astrara does not rely on bloodline, but on will inheritance. Even if someone has the same bloodline, not everyone can become Astrara-only those who have been tempered by will, no matter what, the most eager, passionate, and terrifying suffering can take over its mantle and become the destroyer. "

Then, Mired said to Li Oz seriously:

"Not long ago, the Entropy Lord node you conquered sent a message: We are very sure that Astrara has come to Xingyuan. "

"Now, the real doomsday crisis The opportunity has arrived. Everyone, no matter what the relationship was before, we must put aside all contradictions and concentrate all our strength to fight against the real world-destroying demon king - [Eternal Star God] Astrara! "

"The Entropy King chose Delvelin, who proved his will and strength with his mortal body. He was given part of the power of the Entropy King. After secret training, he has now come to the Abyss and started to compete for the road to godhood. After he ascends to godhood, he will be protected by Leru, one of the original species, the 'Law Ghost', so that he can immerse himself in the long river of the Nether Abyss and salvage the people who are willing to follow him. "

"The Law Ghost lives in the cracks of each layer of the Star Abyss. When people cross the Star Abyss, they are actually passing through the body of the Law Ghost. Through cooperation with the Law Ghost, each layer of the Star Abyss curses the diver to protect the natives of each layer of the Star Abyss. This is also the source of the Star Abyss curse. "

"After that, Delvelin obtained the source soil accumulated for so many years from Origin, one of the original species, the 'source beast' Origin. With the kingdom of God, the soul of the underworld, and the source soil, these three are enough to upgrade to the most powerful group of beasts: [Frost-plated Society] Delvelin. "

"Ah, speaking of this, you must be curious, what am I responsible for in this plan, right?"

Mired looked at Li Oz with a smile:

"In fact, this process didn't need me. Among the original species, the 'quality' is the most fragile and useless one. I can't even deal with the void myself, and I know what strength and level it is. "

"You can't say that." Li Oz shook his head: "Mired, you are very good. There are few original species of your age who can compare with you. "

"But, just like you said, Lord Li Oz-the dividends and opportunities of the times, let me seize it. "

Mired raised his hand, stroked Li Oz's face, and said gently:

"I will be responsible for dealing with Astrara. "

Li Aoz's pupils shrank, and his muscles tensed instantly. He only heard Mired say lightly:

"Who made him... He is my boyfriend."

"He was destined to be a farmer and a blacksmith, but he was used as a cannon fodder god. Then he became a warrior, a general, a leader, and finally a tyrant who usurped power. Now he has become the devil who destroys the world."

"I am the weakest and most useless original species. No one would bring me to the meeting, but I became the easiest one to get close to Astrola."

Mired took a step back, spread his hands, indicating that there was no threat, and just sighed and said:

"You can't figure it out, right? I can't figure it out either. You say, those big guys who control our destiny, why didn't they take action earlier? "

"Lioz, who was satisfied with being a blacksmith and a farmer at the beginning, had to be forced to become Astrola before he was willing to come out to talk. "

"If I had started earlier, I could have finished the Zeta Stage (6) in one night, but now it has become unfathomable."

Li Ozi stared at the other person, suddenly relaxed, and shrugged his shoulders, as if he was deflated.

"You can't kill me."

He said:

"Neither the Star Abyss nor the Earth want me to die. If I die, Astrala will be gone, and the Earth and the Star Abyss will also face more uprisings from the bottom. I am an ordinary person now, but once I die, I can become a A saint."

"Yeah, it's really sad. Some people's death is a greater threat than their lives."

Mired didn't know who she was talking about.

She raised her hand to hold her left arm, lowered her eyes, and muttered:

"I can't kill you, Li Ozi. And I don't want to."

"Let's not talk about that. There is something I'm curious about."

Li Ozi asked:

"How did you confirm that I am the inheritor of Asdra? I only found out about it not long ago."

"As soon as I told other people of the same kind about my pregnancy, Mr. Entropy asked Node to tell me."

"It seems that you have been very wary of Astra."

"Astrola has destroyed many worlds. If you can't understand that kind of destruction, well, then imagine this: you are following a TV series or cartoon, and you have reached the key points of the last few episodes - snap! Suddenly the film was gone, everything came to an abrupt end, and there were no sequels or continuations.”

"That doesn't sound too scary."

"So, how many unfinished works are there in the world that have been interrupted, downloaded, and interrupted?"

"I don't know. If we include the works written by elementary school students who haven't even finished half of their diaries, they'd probably be more numerous than the stars in Xingyuan."

"Well, that's probably as many worlds as Asdra has destroyed."

Li Ozi paused, this metaphor is very vivid:

"Looking at it this way, Asdra is very powerful..."

"Just to add: I mean it was destroyed yesterday."

Mired said:

"If it's older than yesterday, there's no way to refer to it... I can only say that how much it will be destroyed today depends on you, Li Ozi."

Li Ozi was silent for a while.

To be honest, from reading between the lines of accepting the inheritance, he realized that Astrala would be very powerful.

But at most it's more powerful than the three-headed Destroyer combined, or like Gaia.

But damn, this seems to be too powerful. From the Chinese, English and Xingyuan language systems, Li Ozi can't find an existence that can describe this terrifying power.

This has surpassed the double helix system of the Earth and the Star Abyss. No wonder even the Cervanti star realm outside the system is frightened when mentioning this thing.

And, this is certainly not an exaggeration.

Mired is very similar to him in personality, neither of them likes to be exaggerated, so there is no need for her to lie on this issue.

If that's the case... then the problem is very serious.

This is no longer simply affecting the future of Xingyuan, but a pure doomsday that will destroy the entire cognizable universe.

The Destroyer destroys the world just to break it up and start over, there is nothing to say.

The people on Earth invaded the Star Abyss for the sake of living space. Both sides competed for hegemony, and one was losing ground while the other was gaining strength.

But Delveline came out to cut off the root of everything.

Instinctively, Li Ozi wanted to answer

"How can I get rid of Astra?"

However, when the words came to his lips, his tongue slipped.

This slip caused the excitement originally aroused by Mired's pitiful words to calm down instantly.

[No, you can’t say that. 】

Li Ozi paused and said:

"So...what do you want me to do?"

"It's easy to do, but it's also very difficult for you."

Mired smiled bitterly and said:

"My dear, I hope you give up all hatred and really live a good life."

"I'm not involved in the fight anymore. I've even buried the weapons."

Li Ozi spread his hands and pointed at the birch tree.

"What you gave up was just the sword in your hand, but the sword in your heart is still there, and your thoughts are still weapons. As long as it spreads, it can immediately set off a frenzy. It is precisely because of this that Asdra still recognizes you."

"I don't understand, at what point do I have to let go?"

"Secret, Earth, Gaia, Murphydria, and the Leandin faction of the Origin Abyss."

Mired did not use tact this time, but directly persuaded:

"My dear, it's time for you to let go of your hatred of the perpetrators of injustice and oppression."

"……Why?"

"You have never been happy in these years, have you? Even if you have a fortune, you can't feel happy. Even if you are surrounded by beauties, you are never happy because you have never really let go of the hatred in your heart."

"Who do I hate? I don't think so. I don't hate anyone. I've got everything I should get, and there's no one else in the world I need to hate."

"Yes, the concrete person is gone. But what about the abstract existence?"

Mired looked at Li Ozi worriedly:

"Tell the truth, Mr. Leos, Mr. Leos."

"You don't hate someone, you don't hate the people on Earth, you don't hate the gods of the Star Abyss."

"You hate this world. This is a world that cannot be changed no matter what. This is a world that uses you and then gets rid of you, and then you come to pursue you, so you are unwilling to pay the original reward."

"What you hate is the unfair fate, what you hate is the hierarchical class, and what you hate is yourself who gave in and compromised!"

She walked forward and took Li Ozi's hands:

"From Lord Leoz to Li Oz, from the Azure Star to Earth, this hatred for injustice and oppression is the fundamental driving force of your fight. It is also because of this anger that you have been trained and beaten into the appearance of Astrara among thousands of blood vessels."

"That's not the case..."

Li Oz trembled constantly.

"But now, you are no longer a nobody. Both systems serve you alone. If you can let go of your hatred for this world, you can be truly liberated. You can forgive yourself and enjoy a normal life. You can forge iron, farm, herd cattle, herd horses, seek immortality, and be free and unrestrained. Like a spirit deer in the forest, resting and running, peaceful and comfortable..."

"Stop talking..."

"You haven't let anyone down, Li Oz. If you continue to hate like this, you will only let yourself down."

"Stop talking, Fanny, I can't do it."

"Sir Li Oz, Oz, I'm afraid you will destroy yourself. Even if it's for yourself, please forgive yourself!"

"How can I let go of all this? How long have I been fighting for this? How many people have died!"

Mired said:

"Can you be the same as ordinary things?"

Li Oz was stunned.
