Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1298 - 276: Void Route: Towards the [White Wolf] Ending (1)_2

He spoke, drawing a long sword from his waist.

"Your Excellency, no!"

Oshen exclaimed:

"Absolutely not, this will cause chaos!"

"I am a human."

Li Aozi paced to Land Loyd, behind Sinful Bone, raising the sword above his head, his tone calm:

"What is the meaning of 'human'? From ancient philosophers to now, even in the future, no one can clearly explain. Perhaps you are human, I am human, ordinary people are human, and those transcending are human."

"As long as you exist in this objective material world and hope to continue your existence, you are human."

"Humans want to live, to eat, to sleep, to reproduce..."

"I can die, I can be obliterated, I can die unknown."

"But you are not allowed to build a Heavenly Kingdom on my corpse, or a world without me and all of my past."

"If that ideal society does not include humans, then to hell with the ideal utopia. Drag those lofty immortals into the mortal world, to be desecrated by us, the backward people!"

"I do not allow it; the beauty of foreign races must be built on our destruction!"

Oshen could not understand what Li Aozi was saying.

But He could feel: After experiencing the [Dream of the Spirit Deer] ending rehearsal, Li Aozi already had a belief of his own.

Li Aozi raised his sharp blade, yet it was not poised to strike the condemned.

Land Loyd had already closed his eyes, extending the middle, ring, and little fingers of his left hand, the joints bent and thumb pressed against them, a gesture of understanding from the Primordial God Clan. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"May this path lead straight to the Endless Starry Abyss."

After decades of atonement labor, Land Loyd was already full of anticipation for the arrival of death.

After offering his last blessing to Li Aozi, Land Loyd adjusted his posture, kneeling on both knees, lowering his head, exposing his withered neck.

Oshen still wanted to stop it, but when He pushed through the crowd and reached the vicinity of the execution being carried out by Li Aozi, the latter suddenly looked up, casting Him a glance.

In Li Aozi's deep blue eyes, there was no compromise, the pupils clear and bright, like two sharp blades piercing directly into Oshen's mind, deeply engraving Li Aozi's will into Oshen's consciousness.

Facing Li Aozi's gaze, Oshen, who had insisted on sparing Land Loyd, halted his speech at this moment.

In that instant, He seemed to see in the [Dream of the Spirit Deer] ending, Li Aozi muddling aimlessly for a thousand years, in the end watching everything overturn, everything reshape, everything repeat itself, watching their era and world being completely erased.

As the sun and moon change, fireworks cease in the human world.

What of a better future? At what cost?

— I am unwilling.

Oshen seemed to hear Leoz coldly utter this word.

— Unwilling to see a future without our place.

If compromise could bring peace, then all soldiers would gladly lay down their arms and return to the fields.

But what if the cost of peace is having no food to eat?

— "Pick up your weapons!"

By the time Oshen realized, Land Loyd had already been beheaded.

Li Aozi leaned down, picked up Land Loyd's head from the ground, holding a sword in one hand and the Divine Child's Skull in the other, displaying them to the crowd, his gaze sweeping across the Divine Warriors as he issued a solemn declaration:

"I did not kill Land Loyd out of hatred. Sinful Bone has atoned for His past sins—I executed the son of Lai Anding, the successor of the old Primordial system, a beneficial tool of the Redemption Deities' dominion over us."

"Today, I behead Land Loyd, tomorrow, we shall march back to the Primordial Abyss, overthrow Lai Anding's old regime, sever the chains that bind us, and become our own masters!"

"We love peace, we want everything to return to the pinnacle of the old era, hoping the golden dream never fades, hoping we remain the guardians and heroes of mortals. For this, we can compromise, we can lay down our weapons, we can cease fighting."

"But, if the cost of peace is having us all grovel as slaves, as stepping stones for others' dreams."

"Then to hell with peace, we would rather be the messengers of war, transforming into a calamity, sweeping the earthly realm!"

"From now on, the Primordial United Front refuses all surrender negotiations from Lai Anding's side. We will never compromise; we will fight continuously, fight our way to the Primordial Abyss!"

Dream of the Spirit Deer, a millennium in a dream.

Li Aozi's heartfelt call, blending with all that he observed in his dreams.

The humiliation of seeing a beautiful home turned into a colony.

The exploitation and plunder by Earthlings and fallen Players.

The Endless Starry Abyss, passed down from the Eternal Era, destroyed by the Destroyer.

Cannot compromise, cannot surrender, cannot forget to fight!

I can allow my failed self to neglect the world, lying flat due to weakness.

But that does not mean I have lost; I surrender to myself, not to the enemy.

"We will not stay in the Border Abyss, nor retreat to the Layer Abyss. I shall go to the Void. The Void is actually a good place, as long as you can subdue these nihilists, they are willing to cooperate with you."

Li Aozi extended his fingers, dipping them into Land Loyd's divine blood, painting a golden mark on his own face.

The divine blood boiled hot, and after a moment settled, leaving an indelible engraving on Li Aozi's face.

"If we choose to do this, then our enemies will be the Secret Council residing in the Void, along with the entire Void system. This is their home ground, and we have no advantage."
