From star abyss

Clang.

Tanzimat fell to the ground, and Leoz sat heavily on the pile of rocks. He clenched his fists, and a huge amount of information poured into his body. His mind was pulled out of this body and ascended to a higher level.

It was a kind of... unspeakable state.

More magnificent than the ocean, hotter than sparks, magma and icebergs violently intersected and collided, cause and effect, past, secular world, future - that was an infinite and spotless pure land.

He could not feel pain, but felt suffocated. The fate of all living beings was connected from His fingertips, running through every nerve in the body, and finally entangled in the air about four or five inches above his head, condensing into a golden halo.

"Uh-ah!"

As the golden halo took shape, Leoz trembled all over, freed from this weird and uncontrolled state.

The next moment, He opened his eyes, and his dark blue eyes were stained with a touch of golden light.

Every call and every prayer from the universe, the past, the present and the parallel world, all connected to the depths of His consciousness.

"Merciful God, Mother of Fertility, please save my child."

At the scene of the car accident, the weak baby lay in the arms of his mother. The mother's howling and pain were heartbreaking, and those who heard it cried and those who saw it were sad. She held the pink and blue pendant on her chest, and the antlers of the spirit deer pierced her palm, and blood gushed out, carrying her prayer to Leoz.

"My supreme, great, benevolent and loving Lord, please show your power and save the suffering people of this king."

The flood swept the earth. Facing the impoverished people, the cruel king pushed his own flesh and blood onto the altar. In the prayers of the priests, he closed his eyes and prayed indifferently and firmly for the blessing of God for the people.

"Holy God, please let me stand up, I can save one more..."

The priest whose legs were blown off lay on the ground, repeating the words of praying for the Lord God to appear, and at the same time stretched out his hand towards the plague demon raging in front of him, trying to drag the warrior closest to him from the hands of the plague army.

"Salvation Holy God protects me, protects mortals from the sea of ​​suffering..."

A sharp scream sounded, and a rapid vortex accompanied by infected crow feathers fell from the sky. The ferocious monster opened its mouth and was about to tear the warrior into pieces and swallow it.

The priest's heart tightened, and at this moment, he gave up all the gorgeous words that should be praised for the Lord God. He choked in his throat, and in an instant, he burst out with only a sincere cry:

"Leoz, save us!"

Dang!

The golden sword body like a spine pierced through the sky and earth, killing the plague demon in an instant.

The priest stared blankly at the strange sword blade that suddenly descended in front of him. His heart moved, and an invisible force drove his palm towards the spiral hilt of the blood vessel.

Swish!

With a slight sound, the spikes at the end of the hilt popped out and pierced into the priest's palm. His broken body was instantly pierced and connected by thousands of threads and reshaped again.

"God of Redemption..."

The rescued soldiers gathered here, and people couldn't help asking:

"Is this, His Majesty Leoz appeared?"

"His Majesty Leoz? Was the Lord God called this before? No matter, thank God for his protection!"

"Priest, His Majesty Leoz saved you and me, what else did He say to you?"

Hearing this, the sword-holding priest glanced at the blade in his hand.

What did he feel? I don't know.

The god didn't say a word to him.

But the weapon in his hand seemed to be better than a thousand words.

The next moment, the priest slowly raised his head, and a faint blue light bloomed in his eyes.

"Sisters and compatriots, comrades-in-arms! This is the revelation from heaven!"

The priest raised the strange sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

"There is no need to call His name, shape His image, or boast of His deeds - just pick up the sword, and you will be His."

The sword body shone with golden light, and the priest's body gradually changed under the bathing of holy light.

"Take up arms! Resist tyranny and power, this is the apocalypse. The gods tell us that only we can save our destiny, and struggle is the only way to obtain salvation!"

The porcelain skin covers the whole body, and the blue and silver armor grows from the bones. While fully armed, two pink and blue cloaks fall from the shoulders and flutter in the wind.

"Don't pray for miracles to happen, miracles will only be created by ourselves."

The priest pointed the long sword forward:

"For ourselves, the unyielding people, move forward!"

Clang!

Tanzimat was inserted on the altar, with the hilt facing the indifferent king.

"Is this the power that can solve the suffering of the world?"

The king said, reaching out to hold the hilt:

"I am willing to give up everything, not seeking a peaceful and prosperous world, as long as I can keep the people safe and there are no more starving people. Please save me, Your Majesty Leoz--ah!"

The end of the hilt pierced into the king's body and transformed it in an instant. In full view of the public, the ruler of a country turned into starlight in an instant, soaring and projecting into the sky.

[Redemption·Saving Rain]

The next moment, the clear sky suddenly became overcast, thunder and lightning roared, and heavy rain instantly covered the earth and washed away the world.

However, unlike the previous floods and tsunamis, people all over the country were surprised to find that this rain was so warm and clear that it would neither pollute the body nor take away health. The perfect sweetness replenished physical energy and washed away germs. Even refugees with tumors, sores, dysentery and herpes were cured in the rain.

People knelt down in fear and ecstasy, thanking the miracle loudly.

In response to them, the stars fell to the ground.

However, when the light dust dissipated, an ordinary-looking woman came out.

"Hey, where did Leoz get me?"

Ms. N4 tilted her head and looked at the healthy and simple people everywhere. She thought:

"Forget it, since we are here, we might as well open a few more Mingji Heavy Industries here, so that we can try out some of my new inventions..."

20 years later, the employees of Mingji Heavy Industries will forget this divine salvation. In their memory, it is the biomedicine and disaster relief organizations that saved them.

Not the king, not the gods, but themselves.

Snap.

Lioz, holding a sharp sword, descended on the scene of the car accident. The mother's crying, the speeding cars, and the noisy crowd watching around were all disturbing.

Lioz passed through the crowd, and no one could notice his posture under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He walked towards the mother, raised his hand into the bloody swaddling clothes, and gently pressed the baby's forehead.

"You are doomed."

He raised Tanzimat, stabbed the blade into the baby's skull, took out the dying baby's soul, and injected the soul of a strong god warrior into it:

"Alan Tut, you come to this child and protect his mother well."

The soul of the god warrior merged with the baby's body, and the porcelain skin covered the subcutaneous tissue, quickly completing the regeneration.

Lioz turned around, accompanied by a loud baby cry that broke through the night sky, and the mother's cry of joy and tears also sounded.

"There is still hope! My child is not seriously injured. Ambulance? Ambulance!"

"The child can still be saved? This is incredible."

"Don't worry about it. Get out of the way and leave room for the ambulance."

Leoz walked through the crowd.

He walked on the 'axis' of a higher dimension than dimension and time, but it was more like using thoughts to detect the cell transmission in his blood vessels. Every moment, he actively or passively received the voices of prayer from various dimensions.

And he responded one by one.

Leoz is no longer an individual, a god, but has become a legend, a good story, an idea or simply a concept.

His existence is illusory. Some places will record his specific image and praise his deeds of saving the people and helping the people.

In some places, he is a giant god holding thousands of stars in his hands. As long as he breathes out, he can shatter the demons and evildoers in the three realms and six paths. His eyes are like torches, sweeping away all filth.

In some places, Leoze is a little old man in folk stories who specializes in treating infertility. It is said that when a couple has sex, as long as they see the little old man, they will definitely have a healthy, white, plump baby in the future. And babies born 100 days old are immune to all poisons and diseases because of the appearance of Leoze.

In some places, Leoze has become a spirit. When mortals face harsh natural environments, they will think of this name, and from then on they will have endless fighting spirit and faith, as if they have also turned into a sword-wielding god, daring to challenge all the natural world.

Sometimes, some people who have committed serious crimes will claim to have seen Leoze. As long as they confess their crimes to Leoze with great sorrow, Leoze will cut off their health, vitality, and lifespan, and compensate them to the families of the victims. Sometimes, they can even see the dead resurrected and reunited with their families.

Young lovers sometimes pray to Leoze, hoping that he will bless them to grow old together.

Surprisingly, this Lord God, known for his indifference and rationality, would sincerely bless every couple who made their vows to the end.

As for those who betrayed their sincere feelings, Leoz would impose cruel punishment - separating their bodies from their souls, throwing their bodies into the Kingdom of God as an endless seedling bed, and receiving the same treatment as Leanding.

Their souls would be ignited and turned into a beacon that illuminates the future of the lovers, so that even if their souls return to the underworld, they can find each other under the light of the betrayer's soul fire.

This may be one of the few benevolences of Lord Leoz.

Leoz diligently responded to every prayer.

In this constant repetition, the name and concept of [Redemption Fairy] Leanding were constantly washed away, and finally completely disappeared in the ocean of information.

Instead, [Lord of Redemption] Leoz, this name has resounded throughout the abyss of stars and deeply engraved in every corner of history. Every time people mention [Redemption], they must say Leoz.

In every civilization in Xingyuan, the pronunciation of "redemption" must be "Lioz", "Realze", "Li Aoz".

When Lioz recovered, he had completely replaced Leanding's image and status.

It seemed like millions of years had passed, but in fact, only 11 minutes had passed since he defeated Leanding.

When he examined his origin and past, he suddenly discovered that he had never been a cannon fodder god 10752, but had been the top existence of the Redeemer God in Xingyuan since he was born.

Since then, Leoz finally realized the meaning of Ryan's famous saying:

‘In the abyss of stars, only death and class are insurmountable. ’

He recalled Ryan's words before his death:

……………………

"I gave you a chance to change your ways and enter the abyss again, but you still made the same mistake in the end."

……………………

Looking back now.

'Same mistake. ’

[Lai Anding, who are you talking to? 】

Leoz raised the sword in his hand.

As the powerful Lord God, He does not have any sense of security.

As the main god that connects all realms, He has no sense of transparency.

——Was Lai Anding always Lai Anding?

Or is it that those who have defeated the Lord God of Star Abyss have never lacked anything in Star Abyss?

Leoz didn't know.

But the situation in which He himself now replaces Lai Anding can probably deduce a conclusion.

It's probably... the old order of Xingyuan, and some people have always tried to challenge it.

Le Anding may be the person who defeated the previous main god and took over the position of main god.

It's just that after they repeatedly challenged and defeated the Lord God, they took over the throne of God themselves and continued this old narrative?

But at this point, Leoz was even more puzzled.

So, why did the warrior who was so passionate and willing to die finally become like this?

Is it true that all this cannot be changed, or is it that even those with lofty ideals who are not afraid of the Lord God will gradually become corrupted and degenerate in the face of the Lord God's foundation and power, and eventually become the same political machine as their predecessors?

Zheng——

Leoz turned the sword blade, and the cold light flashed across his eyes, waking him up from his uneasiness and anxiety.

He raised his head, and countless people were already surrounding him.

The 'Golden Dragon Monk' Archer Duken Monser, the 'Selfless Planet' Puro Letalia and other powerful and well-known Abyss Trialists sent him respectful greetings.

"Leoz—no, His Majesty the Lord Leotz."

The Golden Dragon Monk subconsciously wanted to make a joke, but the ancient contract of Xingyuan made him change his mind unconsciously. He was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"All the god-supporters, god-gods, and evil gods from the entire Qun Yuan are here, and there are also many [social] parliamentarians and speakers who were influenced by you when you fought against the rebels - what do you think we should do?"

Leoz turned his head and saw two people who were quite conspicuous in the crowd at a glance.

[King of Hunting] John Doss, this man wearing a shabby trench coat, with cheap beer at his feet, a long knife on his back and a musket on his back, is the person who hates [society] the most in the world. They spent all their wealth and resources to create the Hunters' Association, ruthlessly hunting down all [society] and those who sympathize with [society].

The pale-skinned, curly-haired gentleman standing next to him was named Gadgetzan Blood.

His other identity is the Speaker of [Outland Society] and the lord of the "Flesh Palace" on the first level of the Demonic Abyss.

"Second only to the secretive [Outer World Society] Percarai, it is already mysterious. Today we can actually see the Speaker - especially with John Doss, who is keen on hunting [Society]."

Leoz said:

"It's hard to imagine that you two could stand together in such harmony."

"Violence and hatred cannot solve problems - you have taught us, His Majesty Leoz." John Doss shrugged: "I am willing to let go of this hatred that has been entangled for 4381 years, at least with the Speaker of Gadgetzan. At present, There is no intention of fighting."

"What about you?" Leoz looked at Gadgetzan and asked in a calm tone: "I will be influenced when I see the Speaker for the first time. If I work harder, maybe I can influence Gaia?"

"My lord, although I am sincerely convinced by you, what if you use this method to deal with Gaia?"

Gadgetzan shook his head:

"With all due respect, that woman Gaia has never thought of using violent means to conquer the Star Abyss."

"You mean conquest?"

Leoz noted the similarities and differences between the words.

"Are you not mistaken? [Society] has always only known how to devour. Why would Gaia intend to conquer?"

"Yes, you don't know yet, right? Gaia is different from before. Now it is very gentle. At best, it is like this... At worst, it has got rid of the restriction of needing to eat to maintain diversity."

"Has it become like this since you ate Mephidria?"

"I think so."

Leoz was silent for a moment, and then said:

"My connection with the void has been severed."

He looked at Gadgetzan:

"Does this mean that the void has fallen into Gaia's hands?"

Before Gadgetzan could speak, a female voice with gritted teeth said first:

"Ah, yes, that's exactly it!"

People looked up and saw a gray-haired void woman walking out of the crowd. It was none other than [Twilight Lord] Ella Dasco. The latter excitedly walked up to Leoz and was about to attack him - but she just stepped on the front foot. When he lifted it up, his knees suddenly became weak.

Plop.

[Twilight Lord] knelt down on his knees and bowed in front of Leos' toes, and his tone became condescending:

"It's all your fault! Leos—Oz, Crown, Your Majesty!"

She gritted her teeth, her body unable to resist the restraint from her body's instinct, and even the words in her mouth changed:

"Then Gaia, with no regard for martial ethics at all, came directly with all the congressmen, controlled the acceleration of civilization, and terraformed the void without moving a single blow, completely becoming the new home of the colonists of the earth. "

"She has no malice from beginning to end. No one can enter into a battle with her."

"It is as if Gaia is already a most benevolent saint. There is neither violence nor dirty thoughts in her heart. She is as pure as a teenage child."

Ila Dasko's shoulders trembled, and she prayed angrily and aggrievedly:

"It's all you! It's all your fault that the great sage His Majesty Leos led Gaia here. Otherwise, how could Zhou Yuan end up like this? It's all the fault of the benevolent and holy His Majesty Leos!"

"No, this is not His Majesty Leo's fault."

Chancellor Gadgetzan of Outland explained:

"No one can guess Gaia's standards of conduct. Gaia has changed since she swallowed Mephidria."

"The current Gaia is not a [social] beast, nor a god or anything like that. It has become a... existence that cannot be described in words."

"It is omniscient and omnipotent. It does not even shy away from its own existence. Hundreds of years ago, Gaia was able to say, 'Speaking of it, I am the villain in a novel, but even the author does not dare to let me die. It seems that even The author is afraid of Mother Gaia'."

"Now, what it can think of and recognize is completely beyond our imagination——"

[Dusk Qing] roared dissatisfied:

"Ha! Then you are saying that Gaia is invincible? My Zhou Yuan's billions of compatriots were slaughtered like pigs and sheep, and the loss was in vain?"

"First of all, Gaia's conquest is not called massacre."

Speaker Gadgetzan said calmly:

"This is conquest, fusion and assimilation - it's just that Gaia used the huge number of people on earth and the terrifying cultural appeal to completely merge races and civilizations."

"Merge? This is genocide! No matter how nicely you say it, suddenly going to someone else's house, beating them up, forcing them to change into your own clothes, and speaking the same language - what is this if not aggression?"

"Certainly not aggression."

Gadgetzan said:

"They did it voluntarily."

[Dusk Qing] immediately raised the long knife, placed it on Gadgetzan's neck, and cursed:

"What the fuck are you talking about you fucking bastard-!"

"Gaia's conquest is never forced. She will give all conquered people the right to choose themselves."

"What does that mean?"

"Gaia is different from us in Outland. We will use the wind of Outland to corrupt the environment and continuously transform life into the form of demons. This will make it easier for us to choose the citizens [Outland Society] needs."

Gadgetzan gently moved the blade away and said calmly:

"But Gaia just released some Earth residents, allowing them to live, cooperate, and coexist harmoniously with the locals. Over time, the Earth people will become localized, and the local people will become terrestrial."

"It is obvious that the local people will not choose to coexist peacefully if they are not voluntary. No matter whether Gaia accelerates the speed of civilization by thousands or tens of thousands of times, if this prerequisite cannot be achieved, it will be empty talk."

"To put it more directly: if Gaia doesn't treat the locals better than you treat them, then no matter how powerful Gaia is, she won't be able to win the integration and assimilation of alien races."

Gadgetzan didn't lie.

There were so many people present, including gods and speakers, but no one stood up to refute his statement.

That being the case, there is nothing to argue about.

[Twilight Lord] No matter how unwilling he was, he could only remove the blade, turn his head and look at Leoz.

"Help me, Your Majesty."

Ira Dasco lowered his head and begged:

"Now that Gaia has taken away Zhou Yuan, sooner or later the upper two levels of the Star Abyss will also be occupied. As a result, 90% of the population and resources on the Star Abyss side will be lost."

"If Zhou Yuan cannot be taken back, Layer Abyss and Jing Yuan will sooner or later become the new homes of the people on Earth. At that time, we will always be surrounded by the Earth. They will naturally regard Xing Yuan as their hometown and treat us as their homeland." Denounced as a demon that threatens security.”

"In this regard, I boldly ask Your Majesty to organize the troops and raise troops to attack Gaia."

"This is impossible."

Gadgetzan shook his head:

"You still don't know what Gaia's presence means, right?"

"Not to mention that Leoz won the crown, even if the six main gods of Xingyuan gathered together, they would not be her opponent."

"What's more, do you think Gaia will really fight with you in her current position?"

"Then what should we do!" [Huang Qing] held his forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "This won't work, that won't work either! Could it be that the fate of Xingyuan is to be completely defeated, or to be assimilated by Gaia after thousands of years? Do we still have to be grateful to such an outsider? "

"It is unfortunate to cruelly exploit the conquered land and people, but to be conquered by a powerful, decent, civilized existence that respects you and treats you better, I think this cannot be called conquest, but liberation. Today's Xingyuan , among the thirteen narrative civilizations in the six star abyss universes, can any of them pat their chests and say that they are more advanced than the secrets and civilizations of the earth? "

As soon as these words came out, it was not only the [Dusk Qing] who was silent, but people from other narratives, various civilizations and even [society] consciously expressed appropriate silence.

It is true that the Earthlings invaded their homeland. Strictly speaking, they did not even try to cover it up.

The Earthlings did not play tricks or use any tricks. They just used their absolute comprehensive strength to crush the native civilization of Xingyuan.

When Gaia was trying to bridge the gap and promote the integration of Xingyuan and Earth, what were the six abysses and thirteen narratives doing?

Look at this group of abysses!

Originally, among the six star abysses, the group of abysses was a place suitable for survival and fertile soil.

What about now?

Leoz swept through this group of evil gods, defeated soldiers outside the abyss, god supporters, and ascensionists.

These people have fought for five thousand years to compete for the throne of God, coveting eternal life and magnificent power.

And these, to Gaia, are just ridiculous tricks, and they are not up to the standard at all.

"Then what should we do?"

After being influenced by Leanding, various people gathered here, and people unconsciously kicked the problem to Leoz.

There is no Leanding now.

[Lord of Redemption] Leoz is the supreme leader of the Yuanyuan regime, the narrator of the narrative, and the main god of the redemption system.

He completely replaced everything that Leanding had in the past. The power and strength are in his hands.

But there is only one thing that he did not inherit.

Not only did he not inherit, but at this point, it became even more confusing.

Leoz looked at the letter from [Player] Prior and was silent for a long time.

"I'm going to Yuanyuan."

For this, he had no foreseeability.

In the letter, Prior, the Polish man's tone became very strange, as if he had known what would happen.

At the same time, he lied to himself.

"Wait, Your Majesty, we haven't decided what to do yet, and you are going back now--"

Others wanted to ask, but Leoz had already switched the system interface.

[Entering Administrator Mode--Switching Completed. ]

At the edge of the menu, a series of items that never appeared but should have appeared as a game system emerged one after another.

[Email], [Employee Log], [Internal Company Chat], [Developer Tools], [Map Editor], [Cache Clearing Tool]... and, [Logout].

[Selection Interface: Logout]

[Do you want to exit "Star Abyss"? After exiting, the neural connection will be cut off within 10 seconds and return to the real world. ]

Leoz clicked "Yes".

[You have disconnected from the "Star Abyss" server. ]

The next moment, Leoz's figure instantly shattered, turned into countless spots of light, and faded from this world.

————————————

Tick, tick, tick...

The stars fell and disappeared quickly in front of them like raindrops. The universe was gradually stretched and flattened in the process of rapid movement, and finally turned into a needle-shaped light.

Leoz's body kept falling, but he felt like he was floating up.

This feeling was a bit like the process of constantly floating up at the end of diving. Divers cannot quickly float to the surface in one breath during the ascent, otherwise the pressure difference between underwater and surface will cause bubble embolism, and bubbles will form in various parts of the body after surfacing, causing the so-called decompression sickness.

Leoz's feeling is very similar. His body seems to be filled with a large number of tiny bubbles, but these are not real bubbles, but wandering information that is attracted and involved when moving at high speed between the gaps in the Star Abyss.

Through the absorption and analysis of these wandering information, Leoz realized where he was.

Asimogens.

Or, call it a more straightforward and easier to understand word: Root Court.

According to legend, this is the way that the Source Abyss monitors and dominates each layer of the Star Abyss. The main god sitting in the center of the Source Abyss only needs to connect his consciousness to the Root Court, and he can transmit his voice and will to the six abysses through countless invisible "root vines" that extend out.

It was on the root vine that Leoz got rid of the stratum of the Abyss and floated up quickly, as if he was flattening the Abyss universe, breaking through the originally complex and twisted mutual force field, rushing straight up the Abyss, and then folding it point by point to transmit people to the Source Abyss.

This method seems to take a long detour, but in fact it is much faster than diving directly. The most important thing is that it can completely get rid of the curse of the Abyss and transmit people's consciousness.

Even Red King and Gaia can't do this.

[Transmit consciousness and information...]

Leoz suddenly remembered that he had heard some strange sounds when he was in the Abyss.

"Angel Luo, the era of [Emperor] is over."

He remembered very clearly that the sound came from the Abyss below the Abyss, and it was constantly echoing. Only as the unique passive of [Star Echoer], he could capture these so clearly.

Now it is clear that the sound must have been transmitted by the root vine, and it must have come from the Abyss.

So why did the root vine transmit this sound? And to whom was it transmitted?

Lioz's doubts grew deeper and deeper, and he even began to wonder if Leanding was also going to be corrupt and crazy in this process of constant self-doubt.

If, as the main god, she was not only unable to seek true insights, but was instead limited by increasingly serious cognitive anxiety, then if Leanding could still maintain normal rationality...

It means that she is not much different from Lioz.

The process of leaving the Star Abyss was very short, but Leoz's senses seemed to have become infinite. He could see his past figure, but it felt like he was running a marathon exhausted. Seeing the very fast speed, all the feedback But it's like playing in slow motion.

In this feeling that was not at all comfortable, a slender transparent root system slowly appeared in front of Leoz's eyes. The other party picked him up without hesitation. At this moment, his body was gradually reshaped. Restored to the posture of God the Redeemer.

He looked up.

The universe of stars in front of him has turned into a sky full of white sand, and the huge dead goddess's body fell in front of him. Her body was filled with pipes to supply the universe and connect to the star abyss.

That was Le Anding's body.

As the medical agreement was broken down by the power of survival, Leoz usurped power, and his true form was also destroyed.

[This is Yuanyuan. 】

Leoz stood under the boundless starry sky, stepping on the rough and polished white sand, and felt a sense of confusion in his heart.

【This is where I was born. 】

【My...home? 】

In the vast white desert, there is no trace of life. There are only the divine warriors walking around in the distance, talking and laughing, feasting with their visors that cannot be opened, and lingering with their lovers with their innocent bodies... These are the people that Laian Ding has deceived through the filter of recognition.

As for such a divine warrior, Leoz's vision stretched to a high dimension and he saw hundreds of millions of people in one breath.

Yuanyuan supports such a huge group of gods, which is far beyond what Haines' small pantheon can compare with.

Even though he used the recognition filter to reduce losses as much as possible - Laian Ding still exhausted all Yuanyuan's resources.

Here, there are no blessings and no curses.

The true origin has lost even the power to activate curses and blessings.

Leos appeared in this world almost suddenly. It took him a long time, but he couldn't adapt to the environment here. Theoretically, all gods come from this deepest star abyss, and the cannon fodder gods are no exception.

But facing such a dilapidated and desolate world, Leoz could not feel any kindness.

There is nothing here anymore.

Suddenly he noticed something was wrong, so he raised his hand and opened his palm - only to see a small key lying in his palm.

"KitKat Network Headquarters Building—Welcome back, dear Chairman Leoz."

An extremely strange yet familiar voice sounded. Leos suddenly raised his head and looked forward - two men with their faces covered were standing in front of him. One of them was wearing a fox mask and a loose cloak-like coat. white robe. The other person wore a thick hood, and his face was tightly wrapped and sealed with bandages.

"you?"

Leoz asked.

"You are really incredible. Almost no one would have thought that you could reach this point."

The hooded and bandaged man clapped his hands, walked forward, put one hand on his chest, and said:

"It's me, Lord Leoz. I am [Yuanyuan Tianzun] Thorao Pialinus."

"But soon, you can call me by another name."

Thorao shrugged, stepped aside, and introduced the man wearing the fox mask:

"This person is also yours in a sense."

"Lyle, Lyle Swindler of Haines."

[Scholar] Lyle said, taking off the fox mask, revealing a face that was far younger than Leos imagined. The latter's rose-red eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, and said to Leos:

"Sir Leos, I haven't seen you in five thousand years."

"The last time we met, it was in Haines." Leoz said, "In front of Gaia."

"Yes, I had no choice at that time. I didn't know how to make a decision or what my identity was. Gaia's strength was too shocking. I admit that I didn't have the courage to resist."

[Scholar] smiled helplessly and started talking:

"But I'm still glad that you were able to turn the corner and even succeed in counterattacking. This is the status you deserve."

"Why are you here?"

Leos was unmoved and just asked:

"Whether it's Thorao or the secretive [Scholar] Speaker, you must have been rooted in the abyss for a long time. In order to avoid being discovered by Gaia, Ansaluo and the void, you chose to hide in the chaotic place of the ancient battlefield. Get up—why did you come to Yuanyuan earlier than me?"

"Originally, we would have stayed in Qunyuan for a long time until you arrived."

Sorao said:

"We were originally going to greet you and take care of you, but now, because your progress is too fast, we have to speed up the plan."

"Plan?" Leoz asked, "Are you plotting to seize something?"

"To be exact, it's not the same."

[Scholar] Lyle took out a small key from his pocket. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was no different from the one in Leos' hand. It was almost carved from the same mold.

"Sir Leos, we know what you are going to do. I would like to try my best to tell you the truth, but if I tell you, Gaia will predict it."

Lyle said seriously:

"That piece of information is of great concern to Gaia, so I have to use this method to let you know. You will enter the headquarters of KitKat Online Game Company later, and you will inevitably face [player] Councilor Pryor, where is his In the [Player] realm, you can do nothing but follow the plot and not skip it.”

"If you don't believe me, well, then Pryor will say the word 'gin' at one hour, forty minutes and twenty-three seconds, and at that moment, your body will automatically activate, regardless of the Controlled use of the keys you originally carried."

"And if you believe me, take this key with you and you will exchange the key."

He said, handing the forged key to Leos:

"Then [player] will not be able to control you."

"You may ask, why do you listen to me? What am I doing this for? Well, I don't deny the self-interest part, nor do I deny that I have been a fraudster in the past... But this time, I I sincerely hope that Xingyuan can be freed from Gaia, and this will definitely require your contribution. "

"No. I don't pay attention to that."

Leoz looked at the two keys, one true and one false, and asked:

"You haven't answered why you are here."

"Just like you, it comes from roots."

Lyle said:

"You must have heard that sentence, right?"

"Which sentence?"

""Ambaro, the era of [Emperor] is over."

Sorao said lightly:

"This is what Lyle said. I am only responsible for activating the root vines and passing them to the top. As for the era and timeline above, I don't know."

Leos was silent for a moment and asked:

"So, the purpose of your joining forces is to defeat [Ambara]?"

"It's just part of it."

Sorao said:

"Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Leoz. You will definitely agree with what we really want to do, but Gaia's omniscience is too powerful. Even if she cannot cross the barrier of the source, we cannot guarantee that she will not It will go directly to the future and crush our possibilities the moment we leave the Star Abyss.”

"Because of this, we have to play riddles here, but please believe that Mr. Leos, we have been paying attention to and supporting you since your decisive battle with Gaia, and we will never let you be in danger."

Lyle put one hand on his chest and said sincerely:

"The truth you need to know now is an extremely cruel fact. For you, for the sake of the remaining conscience in your heart, and for the investment we have made along the way, we don't want you to just walk in empty-handed and unprepared."

"I can't believe you."

Leos weighed the two keys in his hands:

"Please at least give me a reason that can convince me?"

"You're wondering if Leandin was the first Redeemer God, right?"

Sorao said abruptly.

Leos turned his head to look at Him. After staring for a long time, he slowly nodded.

"Oh, I knew it, I knew it - Mr. Leos, if it were you, you would definitely be aware of this problem."

Sorao shook his head, walked to Le Anding's body, gently raised his hand to brush the decayed porcelain skin, and said with compassion:

"Sir Leos, do you know what is the saddest thing? It is not that you are destined to be at the bottom of society when you are born, but that even your efforts to resist the bottom of society and transcend your class are also part of your destiny. "

"Living, Living - haven't you noticed that most of your names are quite similar to the English of people on earth? Lioz means Realize (English: understanding, realization), and Ruilaidi means Reality (reality), 椤Deep is the Ocean...and there are many people, many of whose names actually come from the culture of the earth.”

"The earth, the abyss - they are all part of this natural ecology, who can live without the other?"

"Leoz, let me tell you a story."

Thorao stroked Leanding's remains and said:

"Once upon a time, in order to avoid war, there was a family living in the forest. This family usually engaged in gathering and farming. Only the eldest son was good at hunting, especially deer hunting. After long training, he became one of the best deer hunters. He simply He left his family and hunted alone in the mountains to make a living."

"In order to maintain the balance of the forest, the eldest son never hunts doe during the breeding period. If he catches a pregnant doe, he must treat it and put it back. In this way, the eldest son has lived in the mountains for more than ten years without a wife or children. Live alone and continue to maintain the fragile ecology of this forest.”

"Although the hunter was not very kind-hearted, his unintentional actions were seen by the spirit deer in the forest. As the patron saint of the forest, she determined that the hunter was neither greedy nor crazy, and had a pure and kind heart, so she transformed As a beautiful woman, she deliberately approached him, cooked and boiled water for him, and picked delicious wild vegetables and precious materials from time to time to repay the kindness of the hunters for saving the pregnant doe over the years. "

"Then, the hunter defiled her and forced her to give birth to a child. Linglu was imprisoned in Orion's home. She thought she lived a happy life, spending every spring, autumn, winter and summer - until Orion passed away due to old age. The spirit deer's wild nature was reawakened, and it returned to the mountains and forests. The few half-human, half-deer children scattered in the world could not integrate into human society because of their appearance, and they could not return to the forest to survive because of their physical deformities. They could only support each other and endure hardships. "

"Later, these half-human and half-deer children could no longer endure the hungry days, so they chose to become kings of the mountain. They picked up their father's bows and arrows, robbed and killed, and committed all kinds of evil. Finally, they became free and happy. The more they killed and robbed, the more they killed and robbed. The more their bodies look like humans, the more they end up being the same as humans.”

"But even so, in their hearts, they still hate their mother who abandoned them."

"Finally one day, these half-deer men entered the forest, found their biological mother, and shot her without saying a word. They burned the bushes, killed the spirit deer, and ate the roasted flesh and blood. However, the humanoid features gradually faded away, and the hair was thick, with antlers on the top of the head, and hooves on the feet. In the end, they completely transformed into several wild deer. After wandering in the forest for a few days, they were shot and killed by hunters, except for the pregnant one. The doe, deliberately spared, fled into the forest.”

Solao told a story that had no logic and no beginning or end, and suddenly turned to look at Leos:

"Sir Leos, who do you think is the bad guy in this story?"

"I can't tell who is normal here."

"What is normal? Every character here only follows his or her own ideas, whether it's love or hate. They never consider other people's feelings, only their own thoughts."

Thorao sneered:

"This is the relationship between the Earth and the Star Abyss - no one will consider other people's feelings, let alone what is right or wrong. Everyone only cares about the world in their own eyes, and even if they do not hesitate to let this contradiction continue, they are not willing to put themselves in their shoes Think about it."

He laughed a few times, then suddenly stopped smiling, looked at Leos, and said:

"But this is just a story."

"Leoz, there is no right or wrong in things in reality. What you want to do, what will happen to the world as a result, and what will be lost if you don't do it - these things are nothing worth pondering. Many people Sometimes it was just a decision made with passion and a slap on the thigh, but it caused the death of countless people. Future generations have to think deeply about why she did it in the first place."

"There is no right or wrong in this world, and the same is true for Le Anding. She was once just like you, young, passionate, and unafraid of power. She dared to resist and fight just like you. Attribute all problems to the decisions of the upper-level leaders. If If you do it yourself, you will do better.”

"So, she did it. After a lot of bloody battles, the young Laian Ding completely defeated the old and dim senior in her eyes, seized his foundation, recast his body, and worked hard from then on, never resting. Have fun and be strict with yourself and everyone around you.”

"Then, she became more and more indifferent and unable to understand the world. She found that her existence had become extremely illusory. No matter what she wanted to do, she could not get rid of a shadow - all her rational decisions and magical calculations were all gone. She looks more and more like the senior she defeated, even the antlers growing out of her head are exactly the same as that person's."

"And when she decided to go in the opposite direction, her body's strength also declined, her life decayed, and the people who believed in her were no longer as loyal as before. As a last resort, in order to maintain this huge group, Downfall, she can only continue to make her own judgment."

"Then the antlers on her head grew more and more complex like trees, and eventually even pierced her own eyes and blocked her throat, preventing her from breathing, hearing, tasting, fulfilling her wishes, and growing. Don’t believe what you see.”

"Is this her fault, Sir Leos?"

"The authority she once challenged is no worse than what you have done. Among so many partners back then, Leanding... Dumfis, Silverston, Spector, Yazarofi, these five unlucky ones They all chose to challenge the authority at that time. They were young people and felt that nothing could stop them."

Thorao raised his head, wondering what he was missing. After a few seconds passed, he slowly said:

"Sir Leos, don't laugh at us."

"780 billion years ago, we were young too."

"But as long as this world exists for one day, nothing will change. No matter how focused and idealistic a young man is, he cannot guarantee that his thoughts will not change. He will retreat, become cowardly, question himself, become stubborn, Will become sensual and gentle..."

"But because of these problems, as long as those young people who were high-spirited and high-spirited now have a little problem, countless people will lose their money and their families."

"Excuse me, is this our fault?"

By this time, Leoz had completely understood what the other party wanted to say.

Although Thorao's words have been made as abstract and obscure as possible in order to avoid Gaia's surveillance, for the gods of the Star Abyss, he understands every meaning here.

"No one here is right or wrong."

Leos said slowly:

"We are born in this world and act according to the laws of this world in order to survive, that's all."

"But don't you think it's a pity?"

Thorao raised his hand and pointed at Leanding's broken body on the ground:

"She was so passionate and sincere back then, but it was all wasted away by this world."

"Sir Leos, if this world is destined to beat us into our inherent form so that we can survive, then have you ever thought about doing the opposite?"

"If it is just to reshape the world, then shouldn't the ending of the Origin Species leading the Destroyer into the house be in line with your opinions?"

"No, that's just building a castle with sand. After it's overthrown, it's built again with sand. No matter how hard you try it all over again, the sand will be sand, and Le'anding will be Le'anding. Whoever comes will become Le'anding - I mean , more advanced.”

Solao looked at Leoz, and his eyes under the bandage seemed to reveal a crazy look:

"Although our Xingyuan is in such a mess, what about the earth?"

Leoz was stunned for a moment.

Without the other party saying anything more, Leoz had completely understood the other party's plan.

"...I can't completely trust you yet, and I need time to accept the truth told to me by the [Player]. The right and wrong of it depends only on the words of the two of you. Even if you support me, I have to make a rational and objective judgment."

Leoz looked down at the two keys in his hand:

"But I will carry both of them with me."

"That's not enough."

[Scholar] Lyle raised his hand:

"Professional Analysis - [Writer]."

He held a feather pen out of thin air, pointed it at Leoz, wrote a few words, and left a light blue note in the air. Lyle took out a card from his arms and completely imprinted it on the card.

"What is this?" Leoz didn't notice the abnormality of his body.

"I had a trick up my sleeve when I fought Red before, and I took the opportunity to analyze the professions of several councilors. It was also because of this that Anpolo had been trying to find me, intending to force the Secret Council to be assembled by analyzing professions."

Lyle glanced at Leoz and said playfully:

"But it seems that there is no need for that. The [Blacksmith] is on our side, and the Secret Council will never be assembled in this lifetime, and Gaia's [Society] body will never be truly displayed in Xingyuan."

"But this does not mean that you can expel Gaia."

He said, handing the card to Leoz:

"I can understand that you want to make a choice, but making a choice alone is not enough, so I saved a file for you,"

Leoz took the card, and the moment he touched it, the card turned into flying light and merged into His body.

Now that it is offline and not in Xingyuan, neither Gaia nor the [Player] can know the facts here.

【At least, Gaia is not completely 'omniscient and omnipotent'. There are limitations to her ability to reach such a field, and it must be within reach. 】

Realizing this, Leoz felt a little better.

Compared to the hopeless situation before, it was quite encouraging to realize that 'Gaia also has shortcomings'.

Sorao made way and raised his hand to invite:

"We have told you what to prepare and what to say."

"Now, Lord Leoz, you can make your choice. You can be in no identity, just out of your heart, or follow the mission, or be independent, or try to find a good balance."

"This is not the last time to make a choice, but this is an incomplete [writer] ability after all, and I can only provide everyone with one chance to save."

"No matter what, at least you have one chance to make a mistake."

"Even if it is a wrong option, I must witness it with my own eyes."

Leoz said, put away the two keys, brushed past the two people, and walked straight forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time in the white desert past the magnificent remains of Leoniding, Leoz never saw any traces of human beings. Even if he raised his perspective to a higher dimension, he could not find any existence in the wilderness of the source abyss.

There is nothing here anymore.

Everything in the source abyss, whether it is resources, environment, or even cultural relics, no longer exists.

There is absolutely no trace of the kingdom of the gods here, and even the outside world blocked by the Entropy King has richer ecology than here.

The white sand under his feet is not white sand, but "impurities" without any information.

There is nothing to use, no energy, and even the concept of nothingness has been exhausted. It is just waste in the form of white sand.

The starry sky in the sky is not a starry sky, but the residual light projected from the star abyss above.

As for the light of the star abyss? It has been consumed long ago.

All of this is to illustrate a fact: that is, the source abyss has exhausted all its accumulation of foundation.

In the Source Abyss, which is a waste dump with nothing to lose, there is nothing to use. Those who dance with joy and think they are living a happy life under the delusion of the cognitive filter.

What is the reality?

Gaia and the [Society] army have indirectly or directly controlled half of Xingyuan.

The system of the Source Abyss is already rotten and backward, and even basic mobilization cannot be achieved.

With completely depleted resources, if the cognitive filter does not affect the world in front of them, how can these Protoss warriors who have experienced war and were salvaged from the Styx be willing to serve Leanding?

Even if they do not eat or drink, and rely on their own kingdom of God to support them... But they can't all rush up to fight hand-to-hand, right?

[This cognitive filter was originally intended to consolidate people's centripetal force, but now it has become Leanding's shackles to enslave the Protoss...]

Leoz looked at the Protoss of the Source Abyss around him who were immersed in the virtual reality.

[Cognitive filter? 】

He looked at the gods floating in the air, pretending to be on a plane, and suddenly something came to his mind.

[Yes, I just searched the source, but I haven't found the reality in their eyes. 】

Thinking of this, Lioz pulled a god warrior to his side, pulled out the wedge from behind his neck, and then stabbed it into his own neck.

"The spokesperson of KitKat Network apologized for the extended maintenance of "Star Abyss" and promised players that after bug fixes and new patches are added, players will be provided with certain compensation..."

The next moment, the world in front of Leos changed instantly.

The drop-shaped shuttle with a full sense of science fiction flies freely in the air. The dazzling array of shops shows that this is a commercial street. There are a group of young men and women talking and laughing in summer. They are beautiful and fashionable, and their faces are filled with happiness. smile.

Candied haws, crepes, cream cakes, barbecue skewers... The smell of fireworks from various street stalls invaded the sensory nerves without warning, stimulating even Leooz's non-existent mouth to drool.

Leoz is in the most prosperous area, but no one cares about his existence. Everyone is immersed in their own understanding. They seem to be in harmony, but there seems to be no contact.

"Are you Mr. Leos?"

Someone tapped him lightly on the back, and a familiar voice immediately sounded. Leos turned his head and saw a girl with short silver hair and gray eyes standing tall and looking at him.

She was wearing a light pink sweatshirt and shorts with a cat-ear hood. She looked to be no more than 17 or 18 years old. Her face was so exquisite that it was almost impossible to say that she had baby fat cheeks and thick slightly curly hair that spilled out from the hood. , looks as cute as a cat.

The clear eyes reflected Leos' current posture - dark black hair, faint blue eyes, a very ordinary face, wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and khaki overalls, with a satchel on his chest and more on his feet. I just wore two flip-flops.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a programmer who can be seen everywhere and has no clothes.

"Sure enough, it's you."

The girl smiled slightly and said:

"Lanaan Zodia. No matter what you look like, I can still see you right away."

"Moon...when did you take off your recognition filter?"

"That's too early. Thanks to Red King, I looked at her a few times and asked me."

As she spoke, she turned around in front of Leos and asked with her hands behind her back:

"How's it going? Even though I'm familiar with the filter, in your eyes, I shouldn't be too bad, right?"

"You've never been ugly in my eyes, Lana'n Zodia," Lioz responded.

"You, Mr. Leos."

Lanaen Zodia glanced at Leods unexpectedly:

"I always say some strange things inadvertently, without considering what others think. To put it mildly, I only consider the efficiency of the conversation."

"Sorry, I'm used to it," Leoz said.

"It's been so many years, and it seems like you haven't changed at all." Lanaen smiled: "You're still the same as when Haines was, like a block of iron."

"But my words always state the truth, and you know that, Lana'an."

Leoz looked at the other party and stated:

"Many things are used to look at, but when looking at the moon, people always use it as 'appreciation'."

Leoz has always viewed Haines's moon with admiration, the loyal and efficient goddess who secretly imprisoned Mephidria with him.

"...But then again, even iron can know the difference between hot and cold. When it feels the heat, it will melt willingly. If it is left out, it will become stiff and brittle, and it will break when touched. So, for Some existences really cannot be easily concluded. We must give them the opportunity and the energy to change.”

Lanaen Zodia's cheeks were stained with red, and she shook her head gently:

"I really want to catch up with my old friends, but now is not the time."

Leoz was about to say something else, but Lanaen raised her hand and pointed to a tall building not far away:

"Look, KitKat Network headquarters."

Leoz took a look, and with the help of the recognition filter, he indeed saw a majestic tower on the ground.

"Sir Leos!"

"Your Majesty! Are you here too?"

"Okay, Your Majesty Leos, we are saved!"

At this moment, shouts rang in his ears, and in all directions, young people of all kinds were shouting His name and swarming towards him in the alleys.

"Xing Shen, Elavent, Ye Zhanjian..."

Leoz recognized these people. Under the influence of the recognition filter, they all appeared to be mortals, but they were all gray and gray, as if they had just crawled out of the ground.

After taking a look at the swords, guns and clubs they carried, Leoz verified his suspicion.

These people are members of the Zhenwu Party. They took off their cognitive filters and were engaged in guerrilla warfare in Yuanyuan before he usurped the position of Lord God.

"Commander, no, His Majesty the Lord Leoz."

Qing took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said:

"The void has fallen, Gaia is here in person, and we have no power to fight back."

"Zhou Yuan was conquered, so the Layer Abyss Realm Abyss also fell. Now the only ones left in the Star Abyss are Yuan Yuan, Ming Yuan, and Qun Yuan." Elavent smiled bitterly: "But the current situation, you also Saw it.”

"Even if we wake up all the players now and unplug their cognitive filters, we can't do anything in this Yuanyuan without resources. This bitch, Leian Ding, has already consumed our universe."

Ye Zhanjian - in reality, he should be called Jiang Warring States. He shook his head. As a commander of long-term guerrilla warfare, he knows the situation best:

"In Yuanyuan, if there are still some emergency resources somewhere, it must be in the KitKat Network headquarters building."

"Jiao Ziniu's little girlfriend—well, I'm not talking about Lin Ranxia, ​​but Xia Yubing. She once investigated that there is a special darkroom in Lai Anding's office that can only be opened with the authority of the chairman."

"But the strange thing is...KitKat Network didn't have a chairman before."

Leoz was silent for a moment.

There is no chairman, but only the chairman can open the darkroom?

What is this? It was almost clear that there was a premeditated plan to get him, Leoz, into it.

"Your Majesty..." Zeng Shen hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, at this point, it doesn't matter whether you go or not. You have been promoted to the Lord God. Even if we don't have those resources, we can still-"

"Lana'en." Leoz put his hands on Lana'en's shoulders: "No matter what, you will carry out my will, right?"

"No need to question."

Lana nodded and nodded firmly:

"I have already formed a habit of unconditionally trusting you."

After receiving a positive reply, Leoz immediately turned around and handed Tanzimat to Shen Shen:

"If I betray the revolution or other existences in the Star Abyss, then I will be Lyandin, and you will be Leoz."

"Your Majesty—" Shen Shen was stunned.

"The evil god is deep."

Leoz tapped his finger on Chen Shen's forehead and said solemnly:

"In the name of God the Redeemer, I forgive all your sins and the name of the evil god. From now on, you will serve as my agent."

"Do you understand?"

Chen Shen stared at Leos in a daze.

After a few seconds, he said:

"Three times."

Shen Shen smiled bitterly and said:

"I was demoted to an evil god twice and subverted the Haines regime once. I, a guy who has accomplished nothing, have been pardoned three times because of you."

"It's not your fault, Shen Shen. You are a loyal minister and a good general, but you have never met a suitable leader."

Leoz said:

"In this case, you should also try to learn how to be a leader."

Teng Shen held Tanzimat tightly, his eyes were complicated, and he muttered:

"...You already know that this is most likely a trap, right? There may be a danger as great as Gaia's lurking there. No, this is a conspiracy. From the beginning, they have been manipulating your destiny-"

Snap.

"So, my representative."

Leoz raised his hand and put it on his shoulder:

"If this is my destiny, I will never escape it."

"But, Leos! What we want to change is, isn't it an era where no one can transcend class and is at the mercy of fate?"

"——If you resist fate, is it also a part of fate?"

Leoz gently patted his successor on the shoulder. After becoming the main god, he became more humane.

"The road ahead is uncertain, I'll go explore the way for you."

"If it's a dead end, then turn around and find a real future."

"If this path is feasible, then you should follow my footsteps and keep moving forward."

When Shen Shen came back to his senses, Leoz's figure had completely disappeared.

People looked at the direction in which He was leaving and could not calm down their emotions for a long time.

"Actually, Leos has changed a lot."

Ranane Zodia smiled and said:

"Hey, Qing Shen, do you still remember the first time you saw Him?"

"... Just like that, I will never forget it no matter how many times I reincarnate."

"yes."

Lanane said with emotion:

"When I first met Leoz, he didn't understand anything and seemed stupid."

[Welcome to KitKat Group Headquarters]

"Well, I still remember that He was hanging on the battlefield with a bunch of body parts hanging on his body. He didn't know what he was doing because no one told the cannon fodder what would happen after he won the battle."

[Access to the chairman’s authority—approval. 】

"Not only does he not know anything, he is also ostracized by those divine warriors, thinking that a cannon fodder has robbed him of his military exploits. If I, Lanaen, had not relied on my prestige and charm, poor 10752 would have been kicked out of the frontline base. ”

[On the way to the top floor office]

"The result is this, the cannon fodder with nothing, eventually became the agent with everything. From that time on, even I began to doubt: is the so-called talent not worth it in the face of absolute hard work and experience? What about mentioning it?”

"Maybe you're lucky? Leos was able to meet us, meet people who were friendly to him, and help him through the difficulties - ah, so to speak, he didn't directly take away your life. I'm afraid from that He has changed since then!"

"...Really? Maybe. That cold and rational fighting machine finally underwent some transformation after experiencing many things."

[Dear Chairman, welcome home. 】

Kit Kat Network Group, Penthouse.

laugh----

The elevator door opened, and Leoz slowly walked into this area that no one had ever set foot on.

In fact, before entering here, He also went to Laian Ding's office to take a look around.

Unfortunately, Lyandin left no legacy. Except for Rand Lord, a tool to extend her life, Lyandin did not have any private property.

He found some server data and Leandin's diary, but those things didn't make any sense.

Because Le Anding's writing method is similar to that of Him, and he will only record some important events - these things, not to mention Leos, any citizen of Xingyuan who narratively watches TV news diligently will also know it.

For a moment, Leos even questioned himself:

Compared with Le Anding's frugality, Leos can be considered a luxury.

Now, he came to the chairman's room, which was only for him - probably also a place specially prepared for him.

Leoz looked down and checked.

The disguised key is hidden in the left pocket.

The real key is in the right pocket.

Although he has already ascended to the level of Lord God, Leoz is like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, repeatedly reminding himself not to forget the sequence.

After making these preparations, Leoz raised his head and pushed open the door in front of him.

squeak——

The black door opened, revealing an empty office with nothing except a sofa.

Leoz's eyes immediately fell on the sofa: a man was sitting there, quietly playing the earthly chess game.

The man wears glasses, short blond hair, green eyes, a thin face covered with freckles, wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and sweatpants, with headphones hanging around his neck.

When he noticed that the door was open, the man smiled knowingly and looked up at Leos:

"I knew you would come."

"[Player] Gemma Pryor (Game Player)."

Leoz revealed his identity.

He motioned for Leos to sit across from him, and Leos sat down in a majestic manner. He glanced at the chess game: his side held the white chess. At first glance, he seemed to have an advantage, killing the black chess controlled by the man. Don't leave any piece of armor behind.

But after taking a closer look, Leos immediately frowned:

"Why does White have only soldiers besides the king?"

"In the rules of chess on Earth, soldiers are not weak at all."

Pryor said:

"When a soldier reaches the bottom row, he can become a queen, a chariot, a horse, or an elephant. But he cannot become a king - this process is called 'ascension'."

“The process of civilization becoming [society] is also called ‘upgrading’.”

When Leos said this, he stared at the other party closely:

"Is this a coincidence?"

"No, it was intentional."

Prior smiled and said:

"The rules of advancement of chess pieces and the rules of advancement of civilization are actually the same thing. It seems that they become more powerful, but they still have to succumb to the 'king' alone, regardless of the chess player outside the chessboard. will."

"You are not here to serve Leanding."

Leoz said:

"Who are you anyway?"

"Gemma Pryor, Polish, this is not my real name. During my lifetime, I worked for a game company, hoping to bring changes to the game market in Eastern Europe and make people realize that even if we are poor and weak, of small countries still exist in this world.”

[Player] said.

"Is it that simple?" Leoz questioned.

"I died in the 2060s and joined the [hidden society]."

Pryor said:

"You should know that the Earth is different from the Star Abyss. It is a very huge world system. It has countless parallel worlds, but there is only one main world - we call it: 'Earth Zero'. The closer we get to the 21st century, The parallel world is closer to the main world.”

"The Secret has tried to approach Earth Zero countless times. As long as it can annex Earth Zero, Mother Gaia will be able to completely take over all earth civilizations and derivative creation universes. She will be immortal, and the power of the [Secret Society] will connect all Time is up to her and the members of the Council."

"However, this plan had an accident."

"Before the brave Leoz defeated Mephidria, Abyss and Gaia, the two creators of the Star Abyss and the Earth, intervened in the situation. These two beings were reluctant to have their works erased, and they chose to use their own methods , to maintain the continuation of this double helix system.”

"Abyss, a man from Earth, came to the origin of the Age of Chaos and divided his will into six, turning into the six main gods of destruction, craftsmanship, weirdness, robbery, redemption, and dominance."

"Gaia, the person from the Star Abyss, came to the earth where chaos first opened, opened up the heaven and earth, and turned all the essence of flesh and blood into the spirit of heaven and earth, that is, human beings."

"But in the end, neither of them expected that their plan to use the war between Star Abyss and Earth to resolve the dispute would be backfired due to an accident."

"[Outland Society] Percarais descended on Earth-1. Starting in 1962, it invaded Minnesota. In just six months, it dominated and corrupted the entire Earth-1 universe. The majestic wind of Outland has already Separate Earth Zero from other cosmic worlds.”

"In the Earth-1 universe, there are two characters who are of small significance to the secret. They will be called Red King and Amaro in the future."

Pule paused and said:

"This accident caused Gaia to lose the opportunity to attack Earth Zero, and also caused a complete break between Ampollo and Red King. Ampollo was still deceived by Gaia, and launched an invasion in order to protect his homeland of Earth. The war in the Star Abyss. Red King learned the truth through his own way, decisively betrayed the Earth, directly usurped the history of the Star Abyss Lord Silverston, and became the [Lord God of Looting] in the Star Abyss, officially confronting the secret. ”

"However, even if it has lost contact with other universes, Earth Zero is still running. Why do you think this is?"

Leoz pondered for a moment and guessed:

"Because... the creator of the earth, Gaia?"

"Gaia, the Xingyuan person with the same name as Gaia, is one of the players in this game."

Prior pointed to Leoz and then pointed to the king of the white chess:

"Earth Zero is the king of Gaia. The original universe of the earth, the origin of everything."

Leoz understood and said:

"So secretly, Gaia is the chess piece of the earth-"

"No."

Prior looked at Leoz:

"You are the chess piece of the earth."

"...What did you say? I came from Xingyuan."

"Gaia, the creator of the earth, also came from Xingyuan."

Prior suddenly increased his voice, but his tone was extremely calm.

"Fighting is salvation, war is peace."

"Xingyuan and Earth must fall into an endless war. If either side wins, the chess player loses! The army of destroyers will smash the chessboard like the members of the Supervisory Committee, and let the two ancient, corrupt, inefficient and incompetent universes of Earth and Xingyuan reset to zero and evolve from scratch!"

"Destroyers, to us, are destroyers. But for the entire earthly universe, the universe, and the heavens, they are the only saviors that can be counted on."

Pryor picked up a white soldier and asked Leoz:

"Sir Leoz, no, cannon fodder 10752, do you want to know the truth?"

"What truth?"

"Your, true identity."

Leoz lowered his head.
