From star abyss

Li Mingji sat at the end of the bridge, holding his watch and looking at the time. The cigarette in his hand had burned to the end.

"Not here yet?"

He frowned.

This is different from what Xingyuan promised.

For the sake of confidentiality and safety, Xingyuan did not directly arrange for Li Mingji to contact the god named Sides, but it seemed to cover Xingyuan's actions from certain beings.

To do this, he needs to wait for Sides to come to him on his own initiative.

However, twenty minutes have passed, and this space has still not changed. It was promised that Sides would come to find him personally, but this is not the case now.

Li Mingji put out his cigarette, but nothing changed.

To be honest, he has nothing to do now. He can't find a job. If he has been idle outside for so long, he will definitely be left behind by his family when he returns. A frost-coated woman knows everything at home, but since she is such a coward, I am afraid that even that boy Li Aozi will look down on her.

It's okay to be looked down upon by women, after all, Shuang Ping has been like this since ancient times, but Li Mingji really can't stand being embarrassed in front of his son.

"Just wait a little longer..."

Just as he was thinking this, a tattered pickup truck drove over from the other side of the river, filled with various discarded parts. Li Mingji glanced at the license plate number. He recognized the car and subconsciously said hello:

"Hey, you're still working so late."

laugh--

"Oh, Uncle Li Mingji."

The pickup truck slowly stopped beside him, and the window rolled down, revealing a simple and honest female face. She smiled and said friendly:

"I'm not working, but I'm going somewhere... It's a business trip, I guess I'll be back after a while."

Li Mingji said curiously: "On a business trip? Do you have to go out of town to work as an auto repairman? Although you are not a local, Green Creek Bay is only a hundred miles away from us. It is still very convenient to travel. There is no need. Go find work outside."

"Uh... this situation is more complicated." The girl known as Qiu Ran scratched her head and glanced at the luggage in the trunk: "Um, Uncle Mingji, I'm telling you the truth, don't tell me My boss and younger siblings."

"It's okay, it's okay. Although I can't act like a human being, our Li family are all honest and trustworthy people."

Li Mingji chuckled:

"Say, Qiu Ran, what's wrong with you?"

"That's it, Uncle Mingji, I have a strange disease. A medical institution thinks that my disease is of great research value and is willing to take me there for special treatment so that we can get some research data and so on."

Qiu Ran felt relieved and said to Li Mingji:

"I'm afraid that my family will be worried if they know I'm sick, and it will be bad if it affects them... As you know, my younger brothers and sisters are already in high school. I want to be cured as soon as possible and go to the college entrance examination with them."

"Oh, that's it. Then you have to be careful on the road."

"Well, I'm passing by Fenggrao Village to buy some things and then leave."

"You wait a moment."

As Li Mingji said this, he dug into the inner pocket of his coat and took out two gas coupons:

"Uncle, I'm short on money right now, so I can't give you some money. I think you can use this."

"Uncle Mingji, this is an electric pickup truck. Besides, the car has to be returned to others at that time..." Qiu Ran complained, but still took the gas coupon from the other party and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Mingji. Speaking of which, call me There are so many people who are in trouble."

"Follow the crowd. As the saying goes, it's easy to make a living with a bad name. You see, my uncle is so old. Although he has no job, he has no future. Hey, don't tell me, we have never been sick. It's not like my daughter and her daughter compete with each other for their names. It was complicated, and as a result, I had colds and fevers from childhood to adulthood.”

Li Mingji waved his hand.

"Then when I get cured and come back, I will introduce you to the work in the city."

"The city is too far away. If I go to the county town to work, the children at home will be in trouble."

Li Mingji stamped out the cigarette butt and said:

"Okay, I won't delay you anymore. You should leave early and go home early. Those brats in my family are going to take the college entrance examination in a few years. Even if my son is studying in a technical secondary school, I still want him to try it. Take part.”

"Okay, Uncle, I wish all your children will go to college."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Qiu Ran immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"It's not easy... I have a sister who takes care of three brothers and sisters and has to support them to go to college. I feel ashamed of myself."

Li Mingji lit another cigarette and sat on the bridge:

"I don't know how long we have to wait. Seed of Xingyuan, you have to help me. I have decided to give my life away. You have to help our family... live a good life."

He took a puff of cigarette, recalled Qiu Ran's blessing, and couldn't help but mutter:

"At the very least, let my Li Ozi go to college."

boom!

After that thrilling flash of blue, Sides immediately suffered an unprecedented impact. His body was instantly destroyed by the power from outside the star abyss, leaving only a spiritual body, which was pinched by Leoz with one hand. The neck went straight through the jungle and mountains and fell with a crash.

[Finally, it stopped. 】

Leoz knelt down on one knee, his whole body filled with spiritual excitement. Finally got rid of the disorderly movement in the universe.

"Uh-huh—what's going on?!"

Sides struggled hard, but his soul was suppressed by Lioz, who was also a spirit body. He raised his head, looked at Lioz, who was surrounded by ether, and said in disbelief:

"Are you kidding... There is no such strong person in the game with this level of divine power! Who are you?"

"Game? Did you rehearse it using the timeline?"

As Leos said, his divine power invaded the other party's thinking network and began to download a large amount of the other party's information:

"The seeds of Xingyuan? It turns out that five thousand years have passed."

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the fragile power on it.

"No wonder I'm so weak."

Today's souls have also become less perceptive due to the lack of hosts, and many memories have become blurred.

Of course... the most critical thing is the impact of Red King's use of the Divine Sword to separate the leftovers. Even if the [Scholar] did not use the stumbling block, his godhead was also separated.

"You look like this, you must be the god of Xingyuan, right? I am also a compatriot from Xingyuan, there is no need for us to argue!"

Sides was struggling. He didn't need any prompts from the system panel. The aura on his opponent's body alone was enough to crush him.

"Brother, no, your aura is very ancient. You should be the first generation of Xingyuan gods, right? I came here to flatter Xingyuan's mission. We don't need to fight."

"Is the name of God Sidis? You are an existence created by the joint efforts of Xingyuan and Leanding - you have no authority or function, but you directly got a name."

Perhaps it was caused by the division of the Divine Sword Weiluo, Leoz was a little surprised in his heart:

"Xingyuan, I really like you."

Siders felt the pressure on Leoz's body reduce, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"This is just a necessary behavior... Dare to ask, brother, no, who are you?"

Leoz said nothing.

He let go of Sides, but did not remove the divine power exerted on him. Leoz turned his head and scanned his surroundings.

The earth is dark and deep, covered with strange purple corals everywhere, and the air is filled with an aura of anxiety, despair, and confusion.

"here it is……"

This presence was unfamiliar to Leoz.

In the past, Xingyuan's instructions and exchanges with the Lord God outside the Abyss almost always described Xingyuan as a place with endless resources and happiness.

However, the purple substances that were actually displayed in front of him... were filled with an aura of ominousness and nothingness. Even though he had fought so many enemies, this was the first time he felt this kind of power.

"Well, this should be the place where the void is. It seems that the void has begun to invade the abyss in advance."

"Void?"

"Well, the sixth narrative - [Void Kingdom], they are the most evil narrative civilization. They dominate the first layer of the Zhouyuan Star Abyss, and they have no regard for the friendship between their compatriots and wantonly invade other narratives."

narrative.

For Leoz, the term was even more unfamiliar.

However, he quickly captured the relevant information - this new generation god named Sides gave Leoz many things that he had never encountered or imagined.

[In Sides' impression, "Star Abyss" is a game, but this is just a cover. Star Abyss specially trained Sides, letting him dive from the first level of Star Abyss, and guide the subsequent ones step by step. Players continue to dive while also completing various 'game tasks'. 】

Leoz quickly analyzed it and found that the Excalibur has separated out a small part of his perceptual thinking, which can be put to good use:

[These latecomers will be called ‘Adventors’ - right? Rather than being players, it’s better to say that they are gods who have changed their skins. 】

Although the specific intention was unclear, this method seemed familiar to Leoz.

[The Star Abyss may need these players to execute its will - just like we followed its will to resist the Destroyer and society outside the abyss. However, the civilization and life in the Star Abyss can enjoy peace and even develop strange things like grand narratives. 】

However, when the outer main god universe collapses one by one, the comfortable internal narratives will experience the same crisis and torture as they did before.

But even so, Xingyuan still takes special care of them, and specially sends skin-changing gods to save Xingyuan...

In the past five thousand years, [Society] has suffered a lot in Xingyuan, but Xingyuan is too huge to sustain a protracted war.

[No, not salvation. 】

Leoz immediately realized something:

[The Star Abyss does not simply want to help the outer projection universe, but to strengthen stability and dominate other Star Abyss. 】

The reason is very simple and easy to understand.

If the will of the star abyss really wants to protect other star abyss, there is no need to let Sidis act quietly, and then conceal the gods, claiming that this is just a game, and deceive the narrative civilization, saying that they are a group of descendants , a special ethnic group.

Directly sending an army of gods to organize an expedition to completely wipe out [society] is a sign of concentrated strength.

However, Xingyuan deliberately concealed the identities of the divine warriors and deceived them in both directions, which showed that its purpose was not simple at all.

[We must not only fight against society, but also strengthen control over other stars. 】

I'm afraid...the purpose of the latter is even greater than the former.

[It seems that I have touched Xingyuan's taboo. 】

Leos nodded slightly.

Did Gaia predict this would happen? No, this should just be a simple blow-up.

Gaia is not a thoughtful being. She is already strong enough, and it is no longer efficient enough to think about it.

As for myself, the current situation is not good.

[If this is the case, now I cannot completely trust Xingyuan. Five thousand years is too short for the gods. I have not yet transformed my thoughts... This is not efficient enough. I need short-lived thinking. 】

The power of the spirit body is also constantly being consumed, and the most urgent task is to find a suitable host to fuse with it.

He glanced at Sides, who thought he had seen the situation clearly, and immediately showed a harmless look.

[Anyway, Xingyuan has already been offended, so why not just be more thorough. 】
