Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1365 - 285: Void Route: Toward the [White Wolf] Ending (10)

According to the regulations, the Federation's Congress convenes every three days to discuss the recent agenda. The Great Commander Leoz can choose whether or not to attend, but the Prime Minister of the Federation must be present, otherwise the results of the meeting will be considered invalid.

This regulation led Oshen to directly reside in the Congress Building since moving to New Haynes, without returning home for a single day—although as an old deity, they have no concept of family, constantly being in such an intense state of meetings and preparation has taken a toll on their spirit.

At one point, he applied to Leoz to resign from the Prime Minister position to lead troops, but as per the regulations, the Prime Minister is the leader of the ruling party, so he has to wait until the party elects a new successor to end this painful period.

As a founding hero of the new regime, Oshen actually holds a lot of power, but given a choice, he would rather relinquish seventy percent of his power.

Anyone who has worked with Leoz can't help but sigh, "Leoz is a merciless machine." He has no personal entertainment or leisure, and even desires are minimal. Ever since ascending to godhood, he doesn't even need food or rest, while others have to keep up with him to finish work before they can have a break.

Even the supercomputers introduced from the Empire are hard-pressed to match Leoz's relentless work pace.

Having inherited the experience of Xides as the Star Overlord, Leoz has nearly exhausted the value of the Meteor Fall Technique. When tackling public issues, computers need to build models and collect data, whereas Leoz directly throws the problem to the civilization he nurtures, then initiates Civilization Acceleration for a live social experiment.

Working by Leoz's side, the most crucial quality is not loyalty or pleasing him, but efficiency.

The Twilight Duke Ira Dasko, who considers himself the most adept at governance among the strong leaders of the Starry Abyss, retreated to the Sutra Chanting Institute just after a month of discussions with Leoz, Your Excellency the quasi-Supreme God.

Leoz doesn't just handle political affairs; this is merely his identity as the political head of state.

During meetings, he criticizes the loopholes of issuing long-term national bonds while bargaining with Redd Gold in a mix of English and Chinese, simultaneously observing the official website's forums and player opinions, and arranging for private server community managers to poach people from official servers.

He listens continuously for 24 hours to the opinions and prayers of time-line travelers, practitioners of the Meteor Fall Master Pathway in the Six Great Abysses, and Leoz's believers. Encountering sincere beings, he descends with his will across time-lines and brings them to his side.

In a way, except for lacking a Divine Country and a Chief God's divinity, Leoz is wholly a qualified Chief God.

No, in reality, considering Redd Gold's apathetic attitude towards believers, occasionally rewarding them with stock market upticks, Leoz responding to sincere prayers makes him an exemplary model of labor, always at their call.

And amid these engagements, Leoz also hasn't stopped his efforts in searching and purging Society's influence. Although he often stays in New Haynes' palace to listen to politics, he seizes any opportunity to personally wield Tanzimate and cut down his foes.

As a True God, Leoz possesses virtually no mystery.

He forbids the construction of statues in his honor, disallows the spread of his deeds, and responds to every believer's requests. The star-driven power of the Meteor Fall Technique is used by him for down-to-earth simple miracles like curing polio or infertility.

As a national leader, Leoz's divinity is excessively extravagant.

Leoz does not tolerate corruption and imposes high demands on each team member. He highly praises lower-level officials of civilian and slave origin, preferring even those with lesser capabilities over those with lazy attitudes.

In Leoz's regime, officials are not allowed to take leave. They must treat their work with emotionless detachment like sculptures, and evasion of supervision is not permitted. Each official is forcibly implanted with Leoz's bloodline, and should they dare betray or slack off, Leoz would directly make them a part of himself.

Leoz's governance is undeniably brutal because he simultaneously holds roles as a deity of the religion, leader of the country, owner of the server, and controller of violent organizations. He can, indiscriminately, kill anyone opposing him or anyone he dislikes.

Some of them were even those he personally promoted, but for merely embezzling public funds for food and drink, Leoz burned them to death with Chaos fire.

Of course, Oshen is long accustomed to such occurrences.

The events happening in New Haynes have played out countless times in the Pantheon of Old Haynes, and the first time he was demoted to an Evil God was because he opposed Leoz's usurpation and dictatorship.

But now...

Compared to that time, things have become much gentler.

At the very least, Leoz no longer instigates reality society, like organizing chicken competitions in Haynes that led to the extinction of three-fourths of the species.

The Secret Councilors who infiltrated back then almost went mad over Haynes' chicken competitions. Today, when they try to corrupt a desired human, the next day, that human would shout "Long live Leoz," then seek another of Leoz's believers to fight to the death. The survivor would be taken by Leoz and cultivated into a loyal God Embracer.

When even the brutal Earthlings find you too extreme, it shows that you are indeed too extreme.

Fortunately, Leoz now doesn't casually decide to kill three-quarters of the creatures.

At 11:50 PM, the meeting adjourned, and Prime Minister Oshen moved with the True Martial Partisans to the dining room territory, playing Auto Chess to relax while chatting about recent matters.

After the Void Province transformation, the Primordial Abyss Federation has essentially become the new great powers of the Starry Abyss regime.

Though everyone knows that this organization, compared to the old narratives, not only lacks its Inherent Time Domain but hasn't even carried out narrativization, fortunately, everyone originates from the Spiritual Warrior background, and their purity and organization cannot be compared to other narratives, hence they have not omitted sharing any intelligence with the Federation.

"Redd Gold has made two additional investments, with a total value of eighty billion Ammonium Gold. At the meeting the day after tomorrow, we'll discuss how to use this money. Let's brainstorm the best way to handle it," Oshen said, taking a sip of the special random number liquor from Zhou Yuan, a sight of equations flashed before his eyes, directly making even this deity feel a mortal's drunkenness.

"In theory, the Expeditionary Army should take the lion's share, but we can completely invest this money in the construction of the Void. Prime Minister, look: these are new private server players from the Underwater Abyss. They have no combat strength but are good workers for social labor and production, just right to fill the manpower gap indicated by the Void Plan Committee. Training and settling them would be absolutely worthwhile."

"Settlement and training, while considering the thoughts of the Void Natives, would take a lot of time. The leader still intends to continue the battle. Why not directly invest it in acquiring some corporate shares?"

"If that's the case, you'd only be controlling the Void from a capital standpoint. What if they run away when they sense danger?"

Someone thought for a moment and said:

"In my view, it would be better, as the Great Commander suggests, to draw one hundred thousand from the regular army and combine them with these idle players to form a Construction Corps, with administrative power equivalent to a province. Allow the players to self-manage and operate, developing and constructing the Zhou Yuan, without dividing the interests of the Void populace, and avoiding conflict."

"That's a good idea. The Void Construction Corps concept is quite interesting—so which industry should we focus on?"

At this moment, a representative from the Meteor Fall Master's congregation at the next table interjected,

"How about the conceptual entity materialization industry? The Void itself belongs to a communized industry, producing and marketing internally within the community, self-sufficient, with external trade mainly in basic processed goods and raw materials, making the industrial chain too short and not very profitable. But by utilizing Zhou Yuan's traits to transform concepts from mathematics, philosophy, art, and sociology into physical substances and further processing them, it not only promotes employment, but also allows high-value products to be sold to the upper two levels of the Starry Abyss."

"That's a good idea. Well done, you really are a talent. I will definitely praise you in front of the Commander."

Oshen praised the Meteor Fall Master who made the suggestion, but the other party awkwardly coughed twice:

"This isn't my idea... I just prayed to His Excellency Leoz, and this was the result."

Oshen was stunned. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Before he could react, the eyes of the Meteor Fall Master immediately glowed silver, and Leoz's figure broke through the dimensional barrier, walked up to their table, and placed a plan book in front of Oshen.

"I've already written out the detailed plan, take a look."

Leoz said, glancing at the high-ranking Federation members who had paused their meal:

"It's not my true self, rest assured. Continue with your meal, I just happened to pass by. Don't forget to review English before going to bed; in four hours, I will cross the timeline to ask you a month in the future who still only knows 'aback' and 'abandon', and deduct three days' salary if so."

With that, Leoz's figure dissipated on the spot, leaving a group of Federation higher-ups looking at each other in dismay.

"This is no longer just a matter of Meteor Fall Technique or Divine Power, is it?" A senator said dryly: "He can appear by his believer's side at any time, and it's not his true self, but rather he's crossing timelines and dimensions. There's only one possible explanation for this..."

"Great Commander Leoz has already reached an agreement with his multidimensional selves."

Elevent probably knew some inside information and explained:

"What we just saw wasn't Leoz's true form, but another timeline's self... maybe from a minute ago, maybe thirty years in the future, or perhaps even a Leoz who had previously failed came to supervise us."

Someone was taken aback:

"You mean, although he hasn't achieved universal dominion, at least every path's Leoz recognizes him?"

"That's correct." Elevent nodded.

People fell silent.

"So,"

A congressman asked:

"Even if one day Great Commander Leoz unexpectedly dies, we will still have a new Leoz to lead us?"

"Yes."

"We will eternally live in the era of Great Commander Leoz, and our descendants will have only one leader, Lord Leoz."

"That's right."

The congressman's lips trembled as he mustered the courage to ask the question that was on everyone's mind:

"If Leoz is always dominating our country and faith, how is this different from Lai Anding's rule?"

The crowd nearly moved to seize him.

"Are you courting death!"

"Lord Leoz just came by."

"I didn't hear anything, I don't know, it's none of my business, I'm on vacation today!"

However, the True Martial Partisans remained very calm.

"There is a difference." Oshen said, "Because we actively handed power over to Lord Leoz."

"But Your Excellency the Prime Minister, isn't what you're doing just replacing one Lai Anding rule with another?"

"If Lai Anding could have a fraction of His Excellency Leoz's courage and vigor, daring to strike at the Earthlings rather than constantly retreating and appeasing, then the True Martial Partisans would still be Lai Anding's hounds now."

Oshen said calmly:

"We believe in His Excellency Leoz because, at least, he truly achieved what he promised, if, if one day Lord Leoz became the new Lai Anding, a new tyrant and foolish monarch, if Leoz betrayed everything he promised us, forsaking the thoughts and beliefs he taught us."

"Then... the True Martial Partisans would rebel once more and kill Leoz."

"No one can stop us from supporting Leoz's decision, not even Leoz himself."

"And I believe His Excellency Leoz, himself, has this awareness, that he will end his era before that day comes."
