Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1302 - 277: Void Route: Toward the [White Wolf] Ending (2)_3

「As for the Divinity of Main God Level, the Starry Abyss indeed has several—it's just that the only place that can be confirmed lies within myself.」

Lai Anding sneered: 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

「Where does Leoz get the ability to dive all the way from the Border Abyss to the Primordial Abyss, confront me, and seize my Divinity? To put it bluntly, even if I stay in the Primordial Abyss for a lifetime, Leoz cannot get in. Once They make it to the Nether Abyss, They will have to face Gaia guarding the gate of the Primordial Abyss.」

「Since the War Beyond the Abyss began, Leoz has never met me once, and Their origin, Their ability, I have always seen clearly, hierarchy in order, merit and flaw well-distinguished, the structure unbreakable—this is destiny, no one can defy it.」

Plyer nodded.

What Lai Anding said was actually quite tactful.

As for the Divinity of the Main God, besides being on Lai Anding, the other is in the hands of the [Void Emperor] Volodyd.

The position of the Imperial Monarch is to be passed on to the [Twilight Duke], and the Divinity was bestowed upon her early on. She has been pursuing the [Primeval Heavenly Sovereign] Sorao Piarinus to seize the Godhood of the [Mysterious] Main God.

By now, she should be close to finding it.

Once the Divinity and Godhood are combined, paired with the Path of the Void, the [Twilight Duke] will rightfully become the seventh Starry Abyss Main God.

If Leoz intends to become a Main God, they would either need to dive into the Primordial Abyss, defeat Gaia, and then bear the heavy curse, all the way to Lai Anding—though that is evidently impossible.

Or, they would have to compete with the [Twilight Duke] for Divinity, and protect the [Primeval Heavenly Sovereign] Sorao Piarinus to prevent the emergence of a Seventh Path Main God.

But this involves another issue: As an Ascender of the [Sovereign] system, Li Aozi, in order to ascend to Godhood, needs at least 10,000 followers within the same Pathway as theirs.

「The path of the [Meteor Fall Master], [Pope], and [Bishop] is only followed by players. This was the route designed early on by Xides. Backed by authority, Xides can easily gain massive player followers, and steadily secure the Godhood of the [Meteor Fall Master].」

In hindsight, this decision truly serves as an excellent insurance.

Even if Xides' system is taken by Leoz and goes missing, the players remain under their control!

Following the [Meteor Fall Master] Pathway, Li Aozi cannot amass enough followers, even if he defeats the [Twilight Duke] and seizes Divinity, he still is not qualified to ascend to Godhood.

Thus, Lai Anding can be certain, and Plyer can also be confident.

Under such a chain of restrictive strikes, Li Aozi will not be able to achieve anything.

To put it bluntly, Leoz has no chance of becoming a Starry Abyss Main God.

Yes, no chance at all.

The role of Li Aozi had long been analyzed: his death is the greatest threat to the Primordial Abyss regime, followed closely by the potential outburst of Arstala...

————"The people of the Starry Abyss are now faced with two different beasts of oppression and rule that are fundamentally the same at their core. One is called Earth, the other Primordial Abyss."

The words written by Li Aozi still manifest in front of his eyes.

Plyer cannot forget them, for some reason.

He does not know what mindset Li Aozi holds towards the development of this world over those 700 years.

In Li Aozi's perspective: the victory of the Starry Abyss people resisting an invasion war, and the birth of his daughter, are the same affair.

At this moment, as a Polish man, Plyer recalled an ancient saying from the East on Earth:

「High on the hall of governance, one worries for the people; far from rivers and lakes, one worries for the ruler.」

「To advance is to worry, to retreat is to worry.」

「Then when can one be joyful? They must reply:」

Scritch—

Li Aozi tore up the document in front of him, calmly saying to the Imperial Envoy who came to negotiate:

「I appreciate the kindness of the Empire, but I do not need it.」

Dialan bowed her head, looking at the torn documents, bewildered.

This was not what was agreed earlier.

The Empire had told her to prepare to persuade Li Aozi to join the Empire, expecting the process to go smoothly, believing the generous offer would allow Li Aozi to live leisurely till the end of time.

Yet, despite that, when they sat to negotiate, Li Aozi didn't even glance at the document before tearing it apart.

She looked at Li Aozi, suddenly realizing that the joy and excitement she had felt on her journey vanished upon meeting him.

Li Aozi's gaze didn't hold much interest, as if he was looking at a passerby.

This puzzled her; they were once classmates, colleagues, even half comrades. At least, they were acquainted.

Why did Li Aozi's eyes not even hold her presence?

For some reason, she lost the anticipation for the present Li Aozi she had before.

Instead... a sense of irritation and indifference?

How strange.

She shook her head, turning to Li Aozi, reminding him:

「Mr. Leoz, are you sure, you're not reconsidering? This is an unparalleled opportunity. A lifetime of luxury, safe enjoyment, along with transcending ordinary status and privileges...」

「I have experienced enough of such pleasure. Yet, I've never truly found real joy in material enjoyment. I've been pondering where my happiness truly comes from, and now I understand.」

Li Aozi slightly smiled, then calmly said:

「Worry before the world worries, rejoice after the world rejoices.」

「Imperial gentlemen, until fate brings us together again.」

「Oshen, let's go.」

He stood up straight, leading Oshen and others away, leaving two people staring at each other.
