【Ending One】: Linglu (Part 1)
Li Ozi listened to Silverston's words. The words spoken by the other party passed through his ears like running water, but they did not leave a trace. His mind had long been transferred to the world in front of him, and his blue eyes were fixed on it. the information on the system panel.
[Player] Pryor's personal letter was obviously well prepared.
Judging from the wording, it is impossible for him to know nothing. He just discovered the data changes and acted on the spot to try to save the last leeway.
Pryor rarely leaves the game in person. As a member of the game producer and operations team, he does not interfere too much with the game process. In fact, he has done a very good job, which shows that he has very professional ethics - or maybe it is because This is one of the qualities he needs as a [player].
Not everyone can become a member of the Secret. Different professions must have matching qualities.
Just like the [Blacksmith] hanging on his body, the quality it requires is called 'firmness'. Only those who must not violate their original intentions at any time, no matter right or wrong, or any external opinion, can have the ability to forge divine weapons. A sharp weapon, a blacksmith qualified to serve society faithfully.
For [players], its quality is not 'pleasure' or 'enjoyment', but 'experience'. They devote themselves wholeheartedly to every game, entertainment, and competitive competition, try their best, and quietly experience it. , leave no regrets.
Promotion on the secret side is not an involution and competitive upgrade system like the Star Abyss side, but focuses on understanding and transforming oneself.
This may have something to do with the culture of the people on earth. Compared to Xingyuan, who only knows about class jumps and wants to become a god at all costs, the people on earth pay more attention to personal contributions to family, nation, society, country, and the community of a shared future for mankind.
However, precisely because of this, the [player] was willing to violate his professional ethics and also had to persuade Li Ozi, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation.
[Player] knew all this from the beginning. Li Ozi also knew that [Player] would not tell the truth through his understanding of the [Secret Society].
Even though the [Player] witnessed Leoz killing and seizing the body of [Star Abyss Seed] Sides, he did not say anything. When he saw him forming an alliance with Shen Shen and other divine warriors, he did not report to Le Anding, even if Li Oz personally killed him. Sacrifice was used by the Oshuria Empire to provoke conflicts between Secret and Star Abyss. This had seriously interfered with [the player]'s game design, but he still endured it.
Until he discovered that Li Ozi had found Silverston, especially after finding Rand Lord, he could no longer wait in silence.
[Having said so much... [Player] Pryor and Silverston had already completed the communication before my arrival. No matter what I did, he had a way to deal with it. 】
Pryor was not simply showing weakness, although his words seemed pitiful, as if there was no way to stop Li Ozi.
But it was because of his attitude that it aroused Li Ozi's suspicion:
[I haven't expressed my position yet, how can he be sure that I will kill Rand Lord? 】
He didn't know the specific power and ability of the [player], he only knew that it was a manipulation of games, rules and the like. This kind of profession in the hidden social system was not strong in frontal combat, but it was particularly disgusting to cause trouble behind the scenes.
It is not ruled out that [player] may have the terrifying calculation power of the Philosopher King, or the deduction ability similar to Entropy King. After all, gamer is a polysemous word that can refer to athletes, entertainment enthusiasts, and video game players at the same time.
This is a bit of a disadvantage for [Blacksmith]. His abilities are limited to manipulating metals, alloys, heat energy, electromagnetism and forging.
Li Ozi didn't consider Pryor's ability. In fact, at this point, the other party had already given him enough face.
‘Remove your armor and return to the fields, Li Aozi, I will give you the compensation that Xingyuan didn’t give you. Don’t you just want fair treatment and an attitude? ’
‘Lian will collapse sooner or later. Only by pushing Rand Lord up can you escape from this political struggle. Anyway, you are not a participant in the political circle of the Star Abyss. Even if you get to this day, to Yuan Yuan, you are just a warlord. You have never been recognized. In that case, why do you still hang out with these Yuan Yuan guys who look down on you? ’
'It's time to end this. ’
It’s also easy to understand from Li Ozi’s perspective.
For a person on earth, Pryor can be said to have done his best to be kind and righteous.
While maintaining his principles as much as possible, he was also taking care of the situation in Xingyuan, and decided to personally comfort Li Ozi.
Even from the perspective of a game NPC, the design of the game has informed you of the ending and written the best ending for you. You no longer need to be manipulated by others to control your destiny or be carried away by the torrent of the times. From now on, you can just live in peace and contentment. For the rest of my life, just watch those players struggling.
This is no less than the Creator coming to earth in person and promising you glory and wealth.
Isn't this bad?
Li Ozi stood in front of everyone, pressing one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes lowered.
He fell into a fierce ideological struggle.
Why is this so?
Li Ozi can be sure that he has no interaction with [Player] Pryor. Even if the other party has been observing him for a long time, it is impossible to clearly determine that he will definitely kill Rand Lord.
What's more, he had no intention of killing this guy.
After all, it seems that he and Rand Lord have no life-or-death hatred. Not to mention that the other party has been tortured for decades. He has also deeply reflected and repented, and was reformed through labor under Silverston, and he has become a new man. .
If it was because of his past behavior of killing people, provoking troubles, or bullying men and women, then the lives he, Li Ozi, killed indiscriminately and just for the sake of his purpose were enough to go to hell a million times - if Xingyuan had such a thing words.
However, Pryor confirmed this.
Rather than saying that he was persuading Li Ozi to take off his armor and return home, it was more like he was tempting Li Ozi to kill Rand Lord.
It's like, when trying to persuade a criminal, no one would specifically tell the other person: 'Don't hide behind the window, as this will make it impossible for a sniper to shoot him in the head. 'Same.
Pryor, that's what he said.
Even though he had no contact with Li Ozi at all, he was very sure, certain, and convinced that Li Ozi would kill Rand Lord.
Why?
Why does he think so?
Why does he lead himself this way?
Li Ozi fell silent.
——Fate.
It had been a long time since he had felt such a strong sense of fate.
A big hand named fate hangs down the threads of destiny and prophecy, pulling him like a puppet to perform and dance on the world stage, just for the audience's laughter.
Li Ozi is not averse to talk about fate.
No matter what fate, at least it would be better than being a cannon fodder for Murphy, or working as a bank security guard after graduating from Frost Plate Technical High School.
If he were an Earthling, he wouldn't have to be as talented as Red King or Ambros, nor would he have to be favored by Gaia. It would be enough for him to just go to work from nine to five, work hard, and live an ordinary life.
It's a pity that not only did he not be reincarnated on the earth, but he still struggled with the earth for most of his life. Even after he died, he had to get up and continue fighting.
If he were an Earthling, he would definitely be much happier and contented than he is now, and he would also respect and even love secrets...right?
For a moment, a thought even passed through Li Ozi's mind:
[Do people on earth think so too? 】
——Could it be that, from the perspective of earthlings, living in the Star Abyss would be interesting?
Li Ozi suddenly laughed.
Absolutely not.
Just ridiculous.
No matter how bad the Earthlings are, life is worse than death.
After coming to Xingyuan, even if he died, he would still have to be pulled back by Le Anding to continue working in vain.
He, and the conscripted divine warriors, why have they been fighting until now?
Half of the reason is that I am still forced to do nothing.
The main god appeased, the country fell, and the princes of the Star Abyss were deceitful and intrigued for their own interests. However, Laian Ding allowed foreign enemies to invade, and even wanted to use foreign enemies to suppress the forces of various levels of the Star Abyss.
They came to this world as 'players', ostensibly to save Xingyuan, but in fact they were working in vain for Laian Ding's personal ambitions. They didn't say anything. In reality, Laian Ding was still using the filter of recognition. deceive them.
After thousands of years of defeat in the Yuanyuan War, Yuanyuan is still a piece of white sand.
There is no time to build his own home, no labor output, and no communication with the outside world. He still wants to rely on his past reputation to maintain Yuanyuan's rule.
Everyone can see that he is deceiving himself.
As long as there is a slight change in the source, a few people with lofty ideals will stand up, shatter the cognitive filter, wake up everyone, let people see internal and external troubles, see [society]'s wolfish ambitions, and take action.
It was not his turn to shout the name of expelling foreign enemies and restoring Xingyuan, and there was no need for him to sacrifice the power he had built, just to let Xingyuan see how powerful and cruel the secret was.
Why doesn't anyone do this?
Those redeeming protoss would rather cooperate with secret traitors, launch a "From the Star Abyss" project, spend a lot of resources to awaken those protoss warriors who have died once, and deceive them into fighting, rather than give up the power in their hands. Transfer resources and share them with all the gods, announcing the crisis to everyone.
Why does Mephidria have to be so proud of its achievements, support its bandits and respect itself, and cultivate this damn [secret society] alive?
Why can't anyone count on it, but it's the turn of a cannon fodder god to do this?
They obviously had many opportunities to save themselves, but they had to wait until he, the cannon fodder, came to the stage.
"...This way, when they fail, they can blame you."
Li Ozi raised his head and Silverston was looking at him calmly:
"You have not received a serious education from the gods, but you should also know: power is only responsible for the source of power. When you bear enough responsibilities, you will also get the power given to you by people."
"You are the agent, Sir Leoz. Mephidria chose you for the same reason as others chose you. I will leave all the responsibilities to you and see how long you can go."
"If you stay away long enough, then you will be a usurping tyrant and a bad guy who has an unfair position. If your policies are in a mess and the war is not going well, then people will have enough reasons to blame you alone, so that they can look like they are It’s all right, they’re innocent, and it’s right for the entire group.”
"Groups are numb, helpless, and blind. They are waves. If no one gives them guidance, even the mothership will be shattered. If someone gives them the right guidance, the waves will lift up a wave." Every hero marches forward to the other side of victory."
"[Society] needs the supreme will, the narrative needs the expounder, and the gods need the main god. They are the highest power and the bearers of all responsibilities. That is why you cannot cross this gap."
Li Ozi opened his mouth and laughed hoarsely.
"...I understand. I finally understand, ah, it turns out it's my fault, that's how you treat me!"
He shook his head and looked at Silverston, his blue eyes full of jest. He pointed at the skinny Rand Lord in front of him, his throat surged, and he smiled:
"Even the worst and most mediocre successor to the Lord God is better than cannon fodder crawling out of the dead. His mistakes can be forgiven, but he will not be driven away because his mother is the Lord God. And cannon fodder If you make a mistake, you will be kicked out and replaced with a new one - this in itself is a symbol of instability, fragility, and turbulence in the structure of Xingyuan!”
"(Original Divine Words) Only death and class are insurmountable."
Silverston's eyes flashed with a faint golden light.
Even though his history was stolen, his divine power was taken away, and his strength and status were robbed, Silverston was still Silverston.
His class has never been erased. When Shen Shen and other divine warriors see him, their knees will become weak under their porcelain flesh and jade bones, and they will kneel down involuntarily.
Li Ozi looked at Rand Lord, then shifted his gaze to Silverston, and then looked at the other people behind him.
"Kneel down."
Li Ozi said:
"Kneel before me, warriors."
The warriors such as Shen Shen were silent. They tried their best to show their respect and recognition to Sir Leoz.
But instinctively, they refused to surrender to a cannon fodder.
Shen gritted his teeth and bent down hard, but his knees were still straight, as if they were half rusty and unable to shake.
"Kneel down, haven't you done this before?! Kneel down to him, damn it!"
Shen Shen cursed himself, pressing his knees with both hands, his fingertips piercing the porcelain skin, bleeding profusely, but his knees still could not bend.
Seeing that He was about to break the bones, Li Ozi shouted impatiently:
"That's enough. If you're lame, you still have to waste resources on treatment!"
"If you give me some more time, I will be able to kneel down——"
"No, it's not necessary. What I want is not for you to bow your knees to me. The doubts I had in mind have already been resolved."
He turned away and took a deep breath.
Understood.
At this moment, Li Ozi's doubts finally dissipated.
"I am now a Sigma-level demigod, ranked 18th in the hierarchy of Star Abyss. If calculated in proportion, less than 99.999999% of people can reach this level..."
Li Ozi suddenly said:
"But even if I surpass the 99.999999% of people, there are still 0.000001% of people in front of me. Over the past five thousand years, that small group of people in the entire star abyss has at least tens of billions."
"I was born as a cannon fodder god, numbered 10752. My strength surpasses that of all mortals, and I was born to be the ultimate Omega level. In the past few thousand years in the Star Abyss, there have been a total of billions of people who have reached or have reached the Omega level."
"On the battlefield outside the Yuan, 10,000 Omega-level cannon fodder gods die like dogs every day, and more than 10,000 cannon fodder are produced in time and sent to the front line to die."
"In terms of talent and consciousness, I am one of the only geniuses in a million. But in the face of a huge base, there are more than a billion spiritual warriors, mortals who have ascended to the gods, and six main gods ahead of me."
"I lived to the end, I survived it all, I kept fighting, I never stayed in Yuanyuan for a moment, I didn't take a penny from Xingyuan, I didn't receive any benefits from Yuanyuan, I worked for Yuan Yuan fights and pays the blood tax with his death. I am doing it on my behalf. When I was a worker, I even had to pay myself a salary. In order to push the front one centimeter forward, I didn’t even ask for a salary. I never had any pleasure or occupied any resources. Even this system had to be snatched by myself. ”
"I haven't asked for any mercy or favor, and I have been doing my duty for you like an AI until now. What's the result?"
Li Ozi smiled, squatted down, and looked at Rand Lord pitifully:
"Actually, what you need is not a leader to lead you to restore glory, a general to lead you to defeat the invaders, or even a guide to help you see the situation clearly."
"You always just need someone to take the blame."
"Yes, I should have realized the fact that the "From the Star Abyss" project went so smoothly"
"I, Leanding, Rand Lord, etc. are all sacrifices to cover up the corruption and failure of the Star Abyss system. The failure of the entire Star Abyss must be attributed to one individual, so that you can take full responsibility for it." If you pick them cleanly, no matter who leads you in the future, you will end up like this.”
"We lost."
"It's not that the divine warriors lost, it's not that I lost, it's not that you lost, it's that the existence of Xingyuan completely lost to the [Secret Society], and the people of Earth won."
"They are more civilized, more advanced, and stronger than us, so victory is inevitable. They are the beacon of civilization that illuminates the universe, the light that illuminates life in darkness, and the hope of the world - we will not be ashamed to lose to them."< br>
Li Ozi's tone became more and more indifferent, and he said jokingly:
"It's just that I didn't expect that after killing people on Earth all my life, in the end, the people who really sympathized with me and gave me compensation would be the people on Earth I had struggled with all my life."
The gods remained silent.
"...I don't want to say anything else."
Li Ozi stood up, took off the sword, turned around and handed it to Shen Shen. Countless vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared on his young and handsome face. He sighed, with only numbness and exhaustion in his eyes:
"In the past, I had no choice. I could only serve Xingyuan. I was born in chaos and came from fire. I devoted myself to Yuanyuan, whom I had never met. I resisted the invasion of foreign enemies. Although I failed to win in the end, even at the lowest point, , and never thought of betraying and surrendering to the enemy.”
"In the words of the people on earth: (Chinese) I dare not forget about my country even though I am in a humble position. The matter will be determined until the coffin is closed."
"I have no reason to continue fighting. I have already sacrificed enough for a war that is destined to fail. But even if I win, Xingyuan will be destroyed sooner or later in your hands."
"But we can change all this!" Elevente said hurriedly: "We can't do without your cooperation, Mr. Leoz. As long as our revolution is successful-"
"What will happen after this success? Has the Lord God disappeared, or been secretly driven away? How many times will you have to reform before you succeed?"
Li Ozi poked his heart and said in a deep voice:
"You also know, and I know better than you, that the main god of Xingyuan's combat power has been exhausted. Without Le'anding, Silverston and Rand Lord are just trying to maintain their appearance and have no fighting power."< br>
"Even if Hidden is driven away, do you still plan to rely on the "From Star Abyss" plan to maintain Yuanyuan's rule? To be honest, [player] cooperates with you out of conscience. If Hidden leaves, then he will I’m back home on Earth. Without [players], do you still want to continue running the game?”
"There are still a lot of problems. After you seize power, the issue of the treatment of slave workers and cannon fodder gods. As long as the Star Abyss exists for one day, those low-level gods will not be able to get ahead. This is the case for you, and the same is true for other Star Abyss and narratives, because you are all the same... I won’t say anything else.”
Li Ozi let out a long breath and vented all the anguish in his heart.
"I've been working for long enough, and now I don't even have a third of an acre of land. Even my wife and children have been put on the hot bed by Xing Yuan. Okay, boys, let's say goodbye - next, it's up to you. ”
"Then, what should we do?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know? But you are—"
"I don't need to be responsible for you. Apart from the fact that this life was given to me by Xingyuan, I have never taken anything else. Since I have died once for Xingyuan and have fought until now, I don't owe you anything anymore. ”
Li Ozi glanced at Rand Lord on the ground, but said something meaningless:
"It's just a pity for the Oshuria Empire. Those are the few things I have, and they are all given to you for charity."
"Sir Leos, without you, who will fight against Gaia..."
"Okay, stop being pretentious, I know what you think."
Li Aozi patted Chen Shen on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"It's not the brave men who save the world, it's yourselves. If you always think that someone can save the world by standing up, then what's the difference between you and the past? Aren't you still leaving your destiny to others?"
< br>
"But that's different, Mr. Leoz, your efforts are obvious to all. As long as you persist, you will definitely get what you want——"
"Do you still think that what I want is power?"
Li Aozi's words blocked Qing Shen to death.
Li Ozi held the opponent's neck and aligned his eyes with his own:
"If I only pray for power, then I will not destroy the Oshuria Empire at all. That is my most satisfying work, and it is everything that belongs to me."
"Without you, our strength will be greatly weakened. Before we find Gio Skua, we will have no warriors who can take action..."
"Didn't Pryor engage in cheating? It's so simple. You can all cheat in the future."
Atreya Night Breeze muttered:
"But games with a lot of cheating players are not far away from the server..."
"Then it's none of my business, you are the players, I'm just an NPC - oh no, in fact, I even stole the identity of the NPC from [Seed of the Star Abyss] Sides . Strictly speaking, I’m not even a game NPC. I was exiled from outside the abyss.”
Hearing this, Elavent blurted out:
"Game BUG?"
"Uh-huh... It seems, that's about it."
Li Aozi was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"I am a cannon fodder, and you have hundreds of millions of cannon fodders. Rather than trusting me, it is better to trust them. Anyway, we are equally loyal and will never betray."
Shen Shen wanted to say something else, but Li Ozi had given up communicating with him, patted his thick shoulder armor, and said:
"Take care, Qing Shenqing. The power I usurped will be handed over to you in the future."
Without giving Shen Shen a chance to react, he walked up to Silverston and said:
"Thank you for giving me a choice, Silverston."
"This is nothing compared to everything you have done for me, dear Mr. Leos."
Silverston nodded:
"Do you remember Turevis?"
"Let me think about it - the home planet of [Plunder the Universe]? I remember that place. It was much more beautiful than Haines. I couldn't come up with a beautiful city plan like you, even if I tried hard, really, the first sequence Turrivis is the best in town.”
"At the end of the Abyssal War, Gaia, with the discerning eye of surrender, defeated Leviathandar's main force. Those dragon deserters stepped on the timeline and fell. The incident happened suddenly, and the fragile defense line of Tulivis was instantly destroyed. Defeated. All my lieutenants died in Hui. In the hands of Emperor Guanglong - she was holding the sharp sword of Lightweaver, trampling on the corpses of my people, walking towards me step by step, without saying anything, she just raised the unstoppable light, ready to act like Kill me like a rabbit."
Silverston looked at Li Ozi:
"...I will never forget that a silver-blue star came through time and space. It was as silent and cold as steel. It smashed the sword of the Glow Dragon Emperor with one kick and raised the black flames of chaos. Using an ordinary-looking long sword, he killed the twenty-eight golden dragon guards present. He grabbed the Dragon Emperor's sword horn and The porcelain skin was burnt by Chaos, but remained unscathed by the burning dragon flames. He punched the opponent's chest one after another, ruthlessly taking out her lungs and internal organs like a wild beast. This was not the way of a divine warrior. It is the most brutal, efficient and practical tactic that has been honed in battles.”
"There's no need to go into detail, right?"
Li Ozi said casually:
"You are my compatriot. No matter what happens to you, I will save you."
"But among the gods of the Star Abyss, how many of them regard you as a compatriot?"
"That's not important. What's important is that I can save it, so I went to save it."
Li Ozi confessed:
"I never really want to save anyone from my heart, but I will only save those I can - if they are hopeless, I can only choose to let go."
"You're right, Leos, there's no need to push yourself so hard."
"I haven't had it either... Anyway, it's whatever you say."
He didn't want to argue with Silverston anymore.
"In three days, I will communicate with Dialan and Pryor to discuss my compensation in detail... After this separation, we may not be able to see each other for a while."
Li Ozi touched his nose and said to Silverston:
"I have retired, and I will leave the rest of my affairs to you."
"I will deal with it." Silverston asked, "Don't you feel sorry?"
"You advised me to retire, why are you still asking me this question?"
Li Aozi was happy and shook his head:
"I don't know, Silverston. But if Le Anding personally handed over the pension to me, or if the will of Xingyuan was willing to add a Yuanyuan account for me and transfer my cannon fodder god to the establishment, I might feel a lot better. , and there are still many things I have not completed, Osho Leah was destroyed. I originally wanted to see if other narratives were aware of the crisis, as well as the Twilight Queen. If the problem of the Twilight Queen is not solved, the void will not be able to join the battle against Xingyuan, and we will lose Tong. The passage to the abyss..."
"These are not your regrets, Li Ozi, these are Xingyuan's regrets."
Silverston asked:
"Have you ever asked yourself about your dreams?"
Li Ozi smiled and said: "I don't have that thing."
"What about the person you love, or the bond you have?"
He shrugged: "I was too busy in the past to take care of it."
"So, what is your personal regret, Li Ozi?"
Li Ozi, who was originally nonchalant, suddenly hardened his expression.
He lowered his head in silence.
Pity?
"Lee Ozi?"
Objectively speaking, he has no regrets. From an ordinary person's perspective, although his life is not perfect, it is legendary enough.
"Hey, wake up, Li Ozi, we are talking about you."
Li Ozi raised his head.
The wind from the river valley brought a slightly moist coolness, and there was a gentle whisper blowing against his face, like the fragrance of a flower, hitting his heart warmly.
He collected himself.
The first sequence of towns is no longer in front of us. There is steaming black tea on the white dining table, and the brightly colored biscuits are mouth-watering. Several thick piles of information are spread out aside, with dots on them, marked with various information. Bai's explanation can be understood even by illiterate people who have not graduated from prenatal education. These are project terms that describe special rights and preferential treatment.
Silverston and the divine warriors had receded, replaced by a figure with long golden hair blowing in the wind, and she only had herself in her eyes.
Li Ozi looked into her eyes, not knowing whether he was looking at the other person or himself.
But there is no doubt that he can see that in the eyes of the other party, he looks twenty years older than when he was the emperor in Oshuria.
Not twenty years old in the biological sense.
Just from the other person's eyes, he still looks handsome and young, his skin is as soft as a baby, without a trace of wrinkles. In the eyes of women, he is still beautiful and bright.
But in Li Ozi's heart, he must have changed.
"Lee Ozi."
Di Yalan called his name softly:
"Are you feeling unwell? Is it because of the curse on us?"
Only then did Li Ozi realize that three days had passed since he left Silverston and chose to let go of everything.
Now, he is sitting at the negotiation table, discussing with representatives of Di Yalan and Imperial State what Pryor has fought for him..."Proposal on Compensation and Care Treatment for Special Contributors."
"I'm distracted...you continue."
Li Ozi shook his head and motioned for the other party to continue.
The representative of the Empire was a gentle boy. He was serious about his work and spoke clearly, just like an AI. However, he sounded quite comfortable. Seeing that Li Aozi was fine, he continued:
"Okay, regarding your labor value compensation, Mr. WanJia's suggestion to us is: based on the surface area of Haines Planet + Oshuria, 10 million ammonium per square kilometer, all deposited into the Empire account , with a maximum annual interest rate of 5.7%, continue to be stored until all your descendants are extinct..."
"Theoretically, it is impossible to spend all this money, and we can't pay it all. Of course, according to the agreement, you cannot participate in the specific affairs and operations of any armed groups and violent groups. The most you can do is invest in shares."
"Then there is the housing issue that Miss Dialan is more concerned about. You can purchase unlimited real estate and land in any empire and imperial vassal country. If you live long enough, for example, if you live to four or five million years, you You can even buy 12% of the Empire's star territory - of course, the premise is that the Empire is only as small as it is now."
"Then comes the identity and power status. Mr. Pryor thinks that you may prefer to go to the lower star abyss, so you have been assigned to be the special executive officer of the Deep Abyss Bureau of the Empire. You do not need to work, and you can apply to use the Hidden Abyss Bureau at any time. Yuan Port, as long as there is no diplomatic dispute..."
"Then there is the right to avoid prosecution for murder. There are five quotas every year, but they are limited to you personally. Although the empire does not have a nobility system, as far as this is concerned, you are actually a noble of the empire, but I have to remind you, We can't start a war at will, otherwise we will also have a headache. After all, it is difficult to distribute too much territory at once..."
"Priority in the allocation of rare resource information. The Empire will notify you immediately after discovering rare resources. You can ignore it or choose to announce it..."
"Then there is Mr. Pryor's gift. This thing called a 'logout device' can 'log out a player's account'... I don't understand what this means, but it seems that after doing this, Mr. Pryor is with you. Draw a clear line and I won’t pay attention to you anymore, and naturally I won’t monitor you.”
Every privilege, every asset.
Endless power and endless money.
Li Ozi didn't know how much Price Pryor had to pay to make the proud empire accept these things. Many of the terms were just like what the representative said. Except that he had no power to decide the disintegration of the empire, other places No worse than the Philosopher King.
In theory, this special treatment and power will continue as long as he has one descendant to continue.
Moreover, this is not the final decision.
The representative has hinted more than once and almost made it clear to him: This can still be discussed.
There's nothing wrong with that, right?
"Is there anything else you are dissatisfied with?"
"...That's it."
Li Ozi said casually.
The empire gave him a lot, more assets than he had ever earned in his life.
The representative of the empire was a little surprised. His expression seemed very strange. As long as Li Aozi received such a small amount of treatment, a normal person would take the opportunity to speak loudly, especially asking a ruthless monarch like Li Aozi to give up his arms and political status.
But no.
Li Aozi didn't care about the specific regulations. He was distracted the whole time, but Di Yalan had been studying these.
"We will submit these revised parts to His Majesty the Philosopher King for review."
The representative nodded and put the documents away:
"You two haven't seen each other for a long time. We won't disturb you for now and say goodbye."
The representative of the empire left.
Di Yalan sat next to him and entertained, or rather...served, him warmly.
She really hadn't seen him for a long time. He had almost forgotten this former classmate and colleague. She told him about her past experiences.
"The White Candle Star was destroyed not long after. [Society] destroying my home is like crushing an ant."
"I was taken in by the Empire. It's fair here. I spent a long time working here... The Crystal Tower civilization was also destroyed, and my student status file was lost with it, so I started from the bottom, typist. , courier, office clerk, after passing the immigration exam, I started self-study, passed the civil service exam, and went to Xingyuan with the Qianyuan team to experience..."
"Now, I am also a Sigma-level person. It's great to be able to keep up with you, but it's even better to be able to see you in person."
Di Yalan has changed a lot from her impression. It may be because of her excellent bloodline. Time has made her mature, but she has retained her girlish appearance and youthfulness. The advantages of immortality are fully demonstrated in her. Even if she returns to a peaceful life, Her strength will continue to grow and she will always be able to keep pace with herself.
She had her blond hair tied up and wore a business suit. She also learned to put on light makeup and wear contact lenses, the kind of contact lenses with strange gradient colors that could rotate. Li Ozi remembers that this was a fashion that was only released in version 14.0. He didn’t know what Dibang was. Where did she get it... Anyway, she acted fashionable and beautiful, just like a successful elite female of the empire.
Even so, Di Yalan still maintains a high degree of enthusiasm for himself.
But Li Ozi really couldn't bear to tell her one thing.
When he saw Di Yalan for the first time, the first thought in his mind was:
‘Who is this? ’
"This is the tea I brought from the abyss. Those artists of humanistic narrative are amateurs at fighting, but experts at enjoying life. I'm afraid even Red King is envious of their nourishing days. Give it a try-"< br>
Di Yalan picked up the teapot, but found that Li Aozi had not touched the tea, so she put down the teapot, looked at Li Aozi, and said:
"This body now...is different from before, but I can still see you at a glance. It's really strange."
"Not surprising."
"Yeah, after all, you are you."
"The [Domination] system is all like this. The beautiful appearance is actually the same, so the temperament will be more recognizable than the appearance."
"...Yes, your temperament is more special than your appearance."
The girl who is smart, capable and of noble blood clumsily organizes her words:
"How are you after all these years?"
"It makes sense."
"...I heard from the representative that you have lost a lot of things and secretly destroyed the empire you built with your own hands."
"Oh, I actually destroyed that one myself, deliberately blaming it on the secret, so as to arouse sympathy."
"Then, if you want, we, we can build one——"
Di Yalan pinched the corner of his clothes and said:
"The two of us, together..."
"Thank you. I am retired and have no plans to make a comeback for the time being."
Every time Di Yalan mustered up the courage to change direction and launch an attack, it was like a spear piercing a windmill. Not only did he fail to penetrate the defense, but he also fell over.
But she was not discouraged.
She carefully studied Li Aozi's expression, and seeing that Li Aozi had no obvious mood swings, she grabbed his hand:
"I love you, Li Ozi. Apart from my mission, you are the only reason for my existence!"
Li Ozi turned his eyes and looked at the woman who was chasing him all the way down.
Forty years have passed since he left Jingyuan and came to Oshuria.
For Di Yalan, there is no difference between forty years and a blink of an eye... Although he has become an immortal species early on, Li Aozi rarely thinks from that perspective.
Therefore, in his opinion, the woman in front of him was really strange.
It's like at a class reunion many years later, your female classmate who has never borrowed homework to copy a few times suddenly comes to you and confesses her love to you.
He looked at the other party, but his mood was very calm. Neither can I recall what happened in the past, nor can my warm love ignite my heart that has been immersed in the battlefield and political situation for many years.
Li Ozi just said:
"So?"
"I... plan to give up my mission."
Di Yalan smiled bitterly:
"Actually, rather than giving up, it's better to say that I can't do it at all."
"My mission..."
Just when Li Ozi was about to ask what it was, Di Yalan nodded and said:
"Well, I told you."
She took out a pendant from her arms and whispered:
"I am not a natural dragon titan, but a weapon specially crafted by someone."
Li Ozi closed his mouth and listened quietly.
"My 'father', or maker, is a former [Doctor] member of the [Secret Society]. In addition, he also has an unspeakable identity: Red King's younger brother."
< br>
In the past, Li Ozi would have been shocked when he heard this, and then asked for details.
But now, he has retired and just nodded calmly:
"Yeah."
"[Doctor] hated himself for becoming a member of the invaders. He betrayed the secret very early, but was tied up and imprisoned on Haines by Red King. He watched the destruction of Haines. Thanks to [Scholar] Lai With your help, he was able to escape and eventually settled in the Star Abyss."
Di Yalan rubbed the pendant and whispered about the past that she had never mentioned to anyone:
"You all know what he did on White Candle Star. He helped many members of the former [society] escape from the mother body. He saved many people and helped them gain freedom. Even Meganiobium Ross, the former Speaker of the Machine World, also No exception.”
"Speaker Lyle is not a pure earthling. He was moved by [Doctor]'s actions. Of course, it is also possible that he wanted to fight against the claims of [Emperor] and [Collector], so he silently provided a lot of help to [Doctor]. Help. This includes making my raw materials.”
"——Necrotic virus."
Necrotic virus?
Li Ozi had never heard of such a thing.
Whether it's in the game or in my acquaintance as Lord Leoz.
Instinct told him that this was not Xingyuan's creation.
He motioned for the other person to continue.
"The synthesis method of the Necrotic Virus comes from another world. The two infected people felt sympathy for our plight and gave us the weapons they relied on. Only this kind of virus comes from another world and is not in the Star Abyss at all. Only with weapons in the Earth’s double helix system can we have the possibility of defeating the [Secret Society]”
"The [Doctor] hated the greed of the [Collector] and the cruelty of the [Emperor], so with hatred, he used dragons and titans as the originals to create weapons that could absorb ether and convert it into power, allowing her to Even after his death, he can exert his power to dismantle the secret system.”
“The so-called [society] also requires talented people. The best way to kill [society] is not to defeat [society] from the outside, but to disintegrate it bit by bit from the inside, so that the hidden members themselves lose their dependence and belief in [society]. Even if Gaia has a hundred pounds of Origin Earth, it is possible that it will disintegrate under such long-term encroachment.”
Di Yalan looked at Li Aozi, her eyes as gentle as lake water:
"In order to fight against the virus, [Doctor] used the power of the virus. Although this was not a perfect ending for the virus and the host, there is nothing in the world that leaves no regrets, so even though he felt guilty, he still chose to make I, the Dragon Death Weapon, bear the title of Leoz, the last brave man who fought against the secrets - Dialan (the agent) of Mephidria."
"Think about it this way, it's like I was born because of you."
Li Ozi shook his head:
"I'm not a brave man, just a common man."
"What's wrong with ordinary people? When a flood comes, aren't the people who stand up to block the tide all ordinary people?"
"Class is bad."
"Then don't think about what is available and what is not available."
Di Yalan took his hand and said shyly:
"Mr. Leos, since I was born, I have been following the example of Agent Leos to eliminate the secrets. But now, if even the agent himself has given up the fight, then I actually have no reason to continue doing it. ”
"That doesn't mean...your father must hope that you won't give up halfway, right?"
"No, he let me make my own choice. It seems that in the end, he still regarded me as his daughter."
"Even if it contains hatred, the weapons made for revenge are still filled with emotional efforts. Verlia, the Fairy of the Lake, and some people who have been helped by him all praise him. In this cold and cruel star abyss, The gentlest one is actually an Earthling. ”
"He's a Haines guy."
"Haines?"
"[Doctor] calls himself Levolushin Docter, and his original name is: Adel King. He was born in the dominant universe, on the planet Haines, in a shack on the outskirts of Haines City, the capital of the Principality of Wake. His parents are A steamship dockworker in Lower Town. His sister/brother is Red King, a child laborer with a broken leg."
Di Yalan recalled carefully:
"Levolushin once said: Before Red King joined the secret, he was just a worker who wanted to support his younger brother and sister with his own efforts. Even if she (he) faced the murderer who chopped off his leg, , it’s just to put the other party in jail through legal proceedings. The first thing to do when making money is to improve the food for his younger brothers and sisters.”
"Red King was very happy for a period of time. She (he) rented a villa in the countryside and made money by digging truffles. Then she started studying law with others and doing some work for others. Later, she made money and started Investment... The more money she made, the more indifferent Red became. Others became slaves of money, but Red was keen to turn others into slaves of money. Eventually, she grew horns and scales and became the incarnation. For the dragon.”
"I have never heard of this... I knew she was a child laborer, but I didn't expect this experience."
"It's normal. Not many people in the Star Abyss know that Red King is the secret speaker."
"Indeed."
"Lee Ozi."
"What?"
"Actually, if I keep swallowing ether, I will become like Red King - not that I will become the Speaker, but I will gradually lose my emotions."
Di Yalan took Li Aozi's hand and explained:
"Before I met you, I had already devoured the etheric blood of seven secret citizens, so when I faced you, I was always cold and devoid of any emotion."
Li Ozi is not surprised:
"Ether is inherently poisonous, and you have sacrificed a lot."
"Remember what I said? Apart from my mission, you are the only reason why I want to exist and live."
She stretched out her hand and carefully touched Li Ozi's cheek:
"I want to be with you - after the last bottle of etheric blood was used up, I was trapped in the Empire, unable to go anywhere. For countless days and nights, I kept thinking about the meaning of my existence, and finally came to this conclusion. ”
"Without you, I would choose to close all my emotions and continue to devote myself to the mission of eliminating the secret."
"You are the only reason that can make me give up this mission and choose to live."
"Mr. Li Ozi, I have an admiration for you. This emotion is not purely out of love for your beauty, nor is it just pure love - this is not purely love. You can make me have a bright future." And a grand life, rather than simply acting as a weapon repeatedly.”
"I need you in my life, and the pounding of my heart at this moment is the best proof."
Di Yalan took his palm and pressed it on her heart:
"The Mother Goddess of Redemption, the most merciful, gentle, and benevolent Lian is settled above. Witnessed by the sun, moon and stars of the six abyss - I will turn into a compassionate spiritual deer and faithfully accompany you. I I will lick your wounds through thick and thin. I am the most attached wife, who will never waver in love. I am the most loyal mother, who will nurture my children until they grow strong. I am the strongest friend, who will face the end hand in hand with you."
Her heart was hot, pure, and the violent beating proved the uneasiness in her heart, which was in sharp contrast to her calm words.
"Whether you are Leos, Leos Dominate, or [the Living God] Mr. Leos, I love and like all your postures. I will accept the beauty, the ugliness, being stared at by others, Every one of you who is hated by others, in memory, and in reality, even if you are abandoned by the whole world, I will still only depend on you. ”
"My dear, I hope to be a partner with you. Are you willing?"
"Okay."
Di Yalan's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and said softly:
"Really? Sure enough, it's still a loss...ah?"
Li Ozi took back his palm and said:
"I'm too busy, I've never been married, I've never been in love, I don't know anything about these things, those things, how to love or be loved, and who to choose as your partner - but if it's you, it's not impossible. ”
Di Yalan was stunned.
——He, he agreed?
"Gone."
It wasn't until Li Ozi called her that she woke up from the shock. She grabbed the document bag and followed Li Aozi. She was still a little in disbelief. She leaned against Li Aozi's shoulder and asked in a low voice:
"Um, Li Ozi, what do you like about me? Ah, I mean, do you like anything about me? I specially learned to put on makeup and use contact lenses... right? This one looks better?”
"That's not true. To be honest, I've almost forgotten what you look like."
"Eh - ah? Then why did you -"
"It's a living life after all. You said I wouldn't be able to live without it, so what can I do..."
"That's just, uh, just a figure of speech, exaggeration."
"Oh, then let's go."
"Although the rhetoric is exaggerated...my love for you is not exaggerated at all."
Di Yalan took Li Ozi’s arm:
"Besides, this is my first time in love, so don't think you are the only one special."
Li Ozi said casually: "Well, the cannon fodder gods are indeed not special, they are all mass-produced."
"Even if you fall off the assembly line, I won't dislike you."
Di Yalan took a deep breath and smiled brightly:
"It's just like when we were in school, we study together, but this time the lesson is to learn the ability to love others."
"I studied in college for six years, failed the class and repeated one year, and then got a master's degree in water."
"Then you're lucky, I've already got a doctorate in Imperial State."
"Actually, I even cheated to get into my undergraduate degree. I am just a technical secondary school student."
"It's okay, the lower you start, the higher your achievements will be."
"You are the first one who did not laugh at my technical secondary school education."
"Hmm... maybe I am the first doctor to fall in love with a technical secondary school?"
They just kept chatting.
There is no fixed topic, most of the time it’s just random chatting.
Li Ozi does not have any romantic genes. He will watch short videos while eating, commenting sharply on facts, and then suddenly jump to the topic that it is better to grind coffee beans by hand.
Di Yalan, who holds a doctorate, is not much better than him, but with her rich professional experience, she obviously knows a lot more than Li Ozi, who only knows murder and terrorist attacks.
"Oz, do you want to have Haines' wedding or White Candle Star's wedding?"
"It doesn't matter, there's always money to spend anyway."
"It's so troublesome... How about we get the certificate and go home, and I'll make you garlic noodles? And add a roast duck leg?"
"Yes."
Before Li Ozi and Di Yalan returned to the Empire, they applied for the "Permanent Civil Relationship Cohabiting Partnership" at the Empire's embassy in the Jingyuan Federation.
The empire does not have something as backward as the marriage system. Property is divided among each other. It is more similar to a civil relationship that is deeper than the relationship between male and female friends and includes lovers and bed partners.
It sounds complicated, but in fact it is not simple at all. This couple is divided into ten levels. As time goes by and the number of offspring raised together increases, the empire will provide some material and spiritual rewards to the couple. Those who can reach 10 levels, Most are immortal species.
Both Li Ozi and Di Yalan received Imperial ID cards. Li Ozi did not acquire Imperial nationality, while Di Yalan officially immigrated and became a naturalized citizen of the Imperial country, identifying with the imperialist narrative of the Imperial country.
After all, she still has a normal job. Even if she achieves financial freedom, she does not intend to relax, but continues to study and practice.
In fact, the welfare of the Empire is not low, but those above the middle class cannot be lazy and lazy. The social environment of the Empire despises those who do nothing to benefit from welfare, and they will call them "incense burner ashes".
It's not wrong to say that the empire only raises these people to collect human heads for the grand narrative and the gods to support. After they die, they still have to be integrated into the grand narrative to provide assistance for the expansion of the inherent time domain.
——The empire has raised you for life and bought your destiny.
Citizens of the Empire who are a little more aware will think that work is a process similar to 'self-realization'. They strictly control their diet, rarely drink alcohol, and have entertainment only for social interaction. They are keen on political discussions and economic activities, and often participate in outings. It is better to let children die on the battlefield than to turn into incense burner ashes.
But this is not a very scary thought. After all, a normal family in the empire, a couple, only counting the human race in the universe, will raise an average of 12 children.
Extremely high welfare benefits have not increased people's fertility rate. Compared with the large amount of manpower consumed by the imperialist narrative, twelve children in a family is really not that many.
According to the report of the statistics department, if the empire wants to maintain balance, it is normal for a human couple to have at least 60 babies every hundred years.
However, this is actually a bit difficult for couples with higher class levels. The higher the class, they still look human on the surface, but in fact they are basically similar to the gods on the inside. The Yuanyuan gods are not capable of fertility, so The continuation of future generations basically depends on the citizens of the empire at the bottom.
The huge lower-class population, on the basis of the basic welfare provided by the empire, can always produce a few geniuses with extraordinary talents. Li Ozi occasionally passes by kindergartens that house and train geniuses. Some children in them are even born with awakened sequence arcana. .
Li Ozi no longer cares about external affairs.
In fact, there is no way to care. Staying in the inherent time domain, there is no concept of time at all.
If he and Di Yalan lived according to the schedule in the inherent time domain, they would probably still be on their honeymoon until the day the empire disintegrated.
Because he really couldn't adapt to the time in the empire, Li Ozi still lived according to the schedule in Oshuria. Di Yalan also changed her schedule in order to accompany him.
In this way, according to outside world time, Li Ozi and Di Yalan had a child 29 years after they entered into a common-law partnership.
There is no pain or rough process. Di Yalan is half dragon blood, and Li Aozi also has [bloodline] mimic dragon blood - so the child is born from an egg.
The couple sat in front of the incubator with popcorn and a video camera, watching the little guy push open the dark golden dragon egg with his inverted triangular head, then break out of the shell, open his pink mouth and gnaw bit by bit. Drop the eggshell fragments to replenish yourself with energy, then roll your lizard-like body into a ball and begin to sleep.
After sleeping for two years, the little girl woke up. In her dream, she accepted the inheritance of the Dragon Clan. It was not clear exactly what it was, but those blue eyes were almost carved out of the same mold as Li Ozi.
In the 31st year, the daughter of Li Ozi and Di Alan learned the dragon language, and the dragon name was "Sesilicia Ibrado Alexandra Juejin".
The mortal name Li Liya was given by Li Aozi.
That year, the [Emperor] of the [Secret Society] suddenly appeared in Qunyuan, attacked 24 followers of Qunyuan God, split the earth's veins, and claimed that 'everything south of the earth's veins is the territory of the people of the earth'.
…………………………
In 34 years, Li Ozi logged out of the NPC system and disappeared from [player] Pryor's sight.
"I know you will make such a choice."
Pryor smiled slightly and looked at the screen in front of him with relief.
Notice released on the official website of "Xingyuan":
"...Mr. Li Ozi, who has been with us since the beginning of closed beta testing, has finally found his destiny in life. KitKat Network has been committed to creating a real video game. We believe that even in a virtual world, characters should be Have your own life. Let us finally congratulate Mr. Li Ozi on his successful graduation. At the same time, as the oldest NPC in "Star Abyss" goes offline, "Star Abyss" will present you with a new surprise - the 14.0 expansion pack: "Garden of the Void"! ”
"Are you fed up with being blocked in the abyss by the void, and can only be beaten? The Zhouyuan separated by the void prevents us from liberating our own potential. No matter how big the abyss is, it cannot satisfy the players' strong curiosity. ——Now, this is all history! ”
"Dear gentlemen, you have all reached the status of demigods. It is time for us to officially reveal the truth of Xingyuan and march into the void! The goal is to capture [Dusk Qing] from the Sutra Singing Academy!"
In the same year, in Yuanyuan reality, Elevente (Yu Tianxiao) was betrayed by a traitor and arrested by Xu Fu, a subordinate of Lai Anding.
"Elevant, as a company employee, why do you want to rebel?"
Xufu stepped on Elavent's finger and asked coldly.
"The truth...cannot be hidden."
The tortured and dying Elevent glanced at Him and answered like this.
Xufu was not satisfied with the answer, or said it was not the answer he expected:
"Is that all?"
Elavent grinned, and his porcelain skin cracked and shattered:
"...You lied to me that I have a wife, but I found out that she was fake."
"It's boring."
Xufu waved his hand:
"Bring it to Rand Lord and let him handle it. Next - throw Atrea Nightwind in."
…………………………………………
In 49 years, Li Liya awakened her arcana and magic talents at the same time. After Li Ozi asked for her opinion, he agreed that she should choose the path she liked - [Destruction] system.
Li Aozi and Di Yalan did not care about the training of their offspring. They had enough assets and time, but they only lived in an 80-square-meter apartment building every day. Li Aozi would usually read books and surf the Internet, and then started to ask Cultivation, reciting Taoist scriptures, sitting and meditating is no different from that of an ascetic.
Li Liya was sent to kindergarten and received guidance and training from professional teachers.
In August of this year, Yuan Yuan announced that Yuanshen had abolished all status, deprived him of his status as a divine warrior, and demoted him to an evil god.
The announcer is Rand Lord.
…………………………………………
In 1966, Li Liya met a [Mechanic] boy while studying. This young man named Du Heping was half of the Tool Clan. He has a cheerful and straightforward personality, and is a good boy who hates evil as much as he hates it.
Unlike other [Mechanics], this person has extremely good luck.
When he was in danger when he went out, he picked up treasures instead, and his ranks were continuously broken through, making others envious.
Occasionally encounter a powerful enemy, who is as strong as a monster with a raised hand, and his friends can't defeat him despite all their efforts. In a desperate situation, he actually uses the ancient halo of doom. The enemy is like a [scourge] curse, and is wiped out in an instant.
In comparison, Li Liya is actually quite ordinary.
If he hadn't seen the shell broken with his own eyes, Di Yalan would have doubted that the child was not his.
Humanoid posture: Except for her eyes, she does not inherit any of her father's advantages. Her parents' average height is 180 centimeters, and she is only 1.5 meters tall. She is even considered disabled.
Intelligence level: Three plus two equals the activation of the fifth personality. He has never been able to finish a winter vacation homework and was pinched by Di Yalan with a feather duster.
Fighting ability: Very good at fighting. He beat his father when he was six years old and his mother when he was nine years old. Now they both dare not take her to their workplace.
Fortunately, Du Heping could beat her.
Although Du Heping was 104 years older than Li Liya, the two fell in love quickly. Age was not a problem at all for Li Liya, who is of dragon descent.
Perhaps the only problem is that there is a physical difference between the two people in terms of body structure.
After all, Du Heping is 18 meters tall and weighs 52 tons. He is as handsome as an RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, while Li Liya is only 5 meters tall at this time and is a cute little flying dragon with cherry red porcelain scales.
But joy is the spice of love. Who says circuit boards can't crystallize with hormones?
Li Ozi has gained some experience in alchemy, and has been able to refine pills that can allow low-level [Destruction] powerhouses to forcibly break through the ranks.
He called it the Foundation Building Pill.
On the first snowy day of this year, Leanding announced that he would hand over all authority and the seat of the Lord God, and transfer everything he owned to his successor Rand Lord.
Just when Rand Lord and the warriors of the Revolutionary Party thought they were finally coming through, Lyandin burst out with great vitality.
Rand Lord was squeezed with all his strength after receiving the "Leanding Medical Agreement with Amendments". Through the power of the young Lord God, the number of resurrections per day increased to 10 times.
From this moment on, although Rand Lord became the main god, the power of Yuanyuan was still controlled by Ryan.
The revolution that the Zhenwu Party members tried to achieve by evading Lai'an was a complete failure.
66 years later, a minority class still controls Yuanyuan.
…………………………
In 104, Li Liya and Du Heping held a grand wedding. Unlike Li Aozi and Di Yalan, the two young people were full of romantic cells. They found a temple to hold the wedding, and spent Li Aozi's endless money. I asked a group to take wedding photos with my property, and finally spent my honeymoon in Jingyuan.
Li Liya chose to get married, and went to the old-era wedding held in a vassal state of the empire. She, who looked ordinary, turned into a human form, dressed in a phoenix crown and harem, showing her grace and splendor.
Di Yalan said to Li Aozi: "This girl seems to have a temperament."
"Maybe."
At his daughter's wedding, Li Ozi still read the news nonchalantly.
The headline of the news that day was: The Advent Legion suffered a huge defeat in the void, and [Dusk Qing] tore apart the ‘Sky Lord’ Xu Fu.
At the same time, the Hunter Association, which had been silent for two hundred years, officially declared war on [Society] and the Evil God Alliance. Association spokesperson Pro Letalia announced: "We have accumulated enough strength to deal with even more powerful forces than Haines." A more dangerous situation.”
In the second half of the year, Life Commune announced its relaunch with a new attitude. This time, they no longer only absorbed progressive elements of anti-narrative civilization, or even just living people, but instead "anti-oppression, anti-invaders, and anti-hegemony" The Enterprise's half-armed, half-research organization emerged.
The Life Commune was renamed as the Pan-Life Progressive Revolutionary Committee, with three organizations under its jurisdiction: the Crisis Rapid Response Commando Brigade, the Life Signature Guardian Team, and the Interstellar Vanguard. They responded to natural disasters and armed wars respectively, providing medical assistance and direct confrontation. [Society] & Evil God Alliance.
Mr. Liu E served as the first chairman of the committee.
This time, they did not choose to fight against the entire world, but instead cooperated vigorously with the Interstellar Alliance. As their strategy changed, the number of Pan Revolutionary Committees continued to grow.
On the last day of the year, under the orders of Ryan, Rand Lord and the representative of the Secret Council [soldier] Militari signed a friendship agreement between Yuan Yuan and the Earth.
After discussion and voting, the Secret Council guaranteed not to invade the Yuanyuan Universe, but the colonial rights of the Earth people in the lower star abyss need to be guaranteed - they don't like the upper star abyss, which will limit their ability to exert their strength, the Empire-Group -The three hegemonies of the Temple will easily assimilate the colonists of the earth.
Rand Lord said that players will conquer the void as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. Safeguard the peace and friendship between the two major civilizations.
The Secret Council immediately withdrew from Yuanyuan after obtaining the colonial rights.
On that day, the gods of Yuanyuan discovered that there were no more English reading books and 'antique relics' on the market.
Le Anding, who was hiding behind the scenes, breathed a sigh of relief. With his successful mediation, the secret finally stopped penetrating Yuanyuan.
Now that the hidden problem has been solved, it's time to free up the restless rebels.
…………………………………………
In 205, Li Liya and Du Heping were affected by war during interstellar travel. Li Liya died after unsuccessful rescue efforts, and the latter was forced to choose mind uploading.
Li Liya's age is fixed at 176 years old, and Du Heping is 280 years old this year.
The [Gourmet] member of the [Secret Society] got into a fight with a player whose ID was ‘Don’t Eat Coriander’. The two of them shattered half of the nebula. It later turned out to be a violent conflict caused by a quarrel.
[Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen insists that coriander and root are delicacies in the world. Players who don’t eat coriander will angrily accuse each other of being heretics.
After the mediation, the two unexpectedly became partners because of this incident.
This matter was published in the official game press.
"Actually, they're not that scary, are they?"
"Maybe we are the only ones who are biased."
"Long live the friendship between Earth and Xingyuan, peaceful coexistence is the last word."
Although Dibang notified the family members as soon as possible, due to the inherent time difference, several months had passed by the time Di Yalan and Li Aozi knew about the incident.
Di Yalan's mood was very sad. She always said she disliked her daughter, but in fact when she actually lost her child, she felt as if the sky had fallen. No matter how much Li Aozi comforted her, it was useless.
She kept crying all day long, and then she would be in a daze. Sometimes she would take out the clothes from when she was a child and keep spreading them, smoothing them, and then folding them up.
It was not until three months after the funeral that Dialan returned to normal.
Li Ozi drank lemonade on the day he saw the body, and wore a gray sports suit and white canvas shoes when his daughter was buried. He did not shed any tears, but he remembered that the herb roast chicken on the day of the funeral was delicious.
Later he realized that Dialana was not mentally disturbed during those three months because of her daughter's death.
On the day of the funeral, Dusk Qing led the Lords of the Void down to the abyss. People expected that he would not be satisfied with being just an ordinary righteous god, but wanted to become the main god.
"Qing Dusk is going to the underworld to look for [Yuanyuan Tianzun] Sorao Pialinus, or Pialinus Sorao, it doesn't matter anyway, 'Sorao' is from the [Weird] God Clan Honorific title.”
Silverston sent a letter of condolences to Li Ozi and told him some little things:
"The Twilight Lord has already completed the Omega Level (24) achievement fifty years ago. Pialinus is probably not the opponent of the Twilight Lord. By the way, what level are you at now?"
…………………………………………
In 271, Di Yalan filed for divorce.
"I have spent nearly three hundred years trying to teach you to love and be loved, but you have made no progress. Mr. Li Ozi, I can always love you, but you have loved me, your children, and us. Even a minute or a second? ”
Li Ozi rolled up the creamy mushroom noodles with a fork, chewed it carefully, took a sip of his favorite lemonade, and then signed the "Agreement to Terminate Permanent Cohabitation Relationship".
Although the empire stipulates that property belongs to everyone, Li Aozi has given many gifts to Di Yalan.
When moving out of the house, Di Yalan stayed behind.
Li Ozi opened Di Yalan's room and looked at the neatly arranged women's clothing and cosmetics that had never been touched.
"Maybe I'm not the only one who doesn't understand love."
In the afternoon, the golden dragon warrior monk Archer sent him a letter.
He often writes to himself and is Li Ozi's good pen pal.
"An unprecedented humanitarian disaster broke out in the void. Ninety billion compatriots in the Star Abyss were massacred by [Emperor] Amcharo. The whole world was shocked. Such atrocities shook the entire Star Abyss, and made His Majesty Rand Lord sign the The "Earth-Star Abyss Friendship and Peaceful Development Agreement" has become a piece of waste paper. The people on Earth will not respect us at all. They slaughter us like wild beasts!"
"I have joined the volunteer team. The Void has provoked many enemies in the past and invaded many narratives, but their crimes are only worthy of trial by us citizens of the Star Abyss, not people on Earth. Fortunately, many people follow me Same! ”
"Dear Li Ozi, the people who came to serve as volunteers are at least demigods. There are also five god supporters and artificial gods who have volunteered. The empire's cosmic human officer, the temple's spiritual priest, and the group's dragon descendant Capitalists, as well as undead, shadow demons, demons, people from the future... there are too many, almost all ethnic groups in the universe, people from all walks of life are standing together!”
"Long live all grand narratives, long live the unity of the people of the universe, long live the people of the endless star abyss!"
"——I don't know what time it is, but it's snowing blue in the sky."
This was the last letter he sent.
A few months later, Li Ozi saw on TV that a humanitarian volunteer group sent by Xingyuan was attacked by a secret servant army.
The rescue spacecraft operated by 217 volunteers was accurately bombed while distributing food to the refugees in the void.
A man from Earth who calls himself Irgun Haganah Eddie Aif proudly claims responsibility.
This incident angered Lord Dusk, and he even gave up the nearby Pialinus for it, and massacred the earth's colonial settlements for four consecutive months.
He achieved considerable results, killing the secret jury [Butcher] Bibi Sharon, [Thug] Vahana Moses, [Executioner] Abraham Herzog, and [Smuggler] Menachem Likud , [Lender] Melina Rothschild...a total of 76 people.
Huang Qing was overwhelmed by anger, but Void Narrative calmed down. Void's leadership organization consists of two classes: the Singing Academy and the Reading Club.
The Singing Academy is a place where talents and elites are cultivated in vain. It is actually equivalent to the ruling party.
Book clubs are empty governments and theocratic institutions.
Strictly speaking, the void narrative adopts a typical institutionless government.
Void itself does not organize or set up any departmental government officials, and there is no bureaucracy. Various meetings, committees, associations, basic communes, trade unions, family legions, autonomous groups, and militias have become the orderly organizations of Void.
The book club controls the "right to interpret nihilism" and mobilizes all creatures in Zhou Yuan who believe in nihilism or "partial nihilism" by calling on nihilists.
The void is emptier than any narrative, but their mobilization and political capabilities are ridiculously strong.
Through the Qianyuan Port, Void immediately contacted the upper-level narrative. Void sent a 'pigeon', that is, the messenger, despite the heavy siege, carrying the curse in one breath, rushed from Void to Jingyuan, and joined the Empire Philosopher King. , group chairman, and secret meeting of the Holy Father. Then he gritted his teeth and endured the curse, returned to the void in the shortest possible time, and gave the results of the meeting to the void.
This is not the first pigeon to do this, nor is Void the only one to do this. When the players were defeated, they also escaped all the way back.
The situation seems to be different from the time of peace.
…………………………
In 555, the imperial expeditionary force failed. Successfully escaped from the group under the cover of the group.
Li Ozi and Meredith Fannie, the "pleader", met by chance. She came to the empire to handle some matters for her descendants. The two talked about the past and had a good time.
Mired planned to take a nap.
…………………………
In 721, Mered woke up.
"Hey, where's Li Ozi?"
Linglu (Part 2) is currently writing. Some time ago, he had a severe cough due to pneumonia and was unable to work normally. He stayed in bed for nearly half a month and finally reached the point where he could resume writing.
Although I still have a cough, I feel much better after taking some floxacin and loquat ointment.
I will go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon to continue the examination. If there is no problem, I want to complete the ending of Linglu within this week.
There are five more endings. Each ending will be no less than 20,000 words.
