Plyer has won over the Empire. Compared to Redd Gold's double-dealing, the Empire's credibility is indeed more reliable.
As for the Temple, Li Aozi, being a materialist, would never consider it at all.
It can be said that the promise of letting him retire and enjoy his old age in the Empire is indeed very persuasive.
If he continues forward, he will have to face the Void, Secrets, Lai Anding Division, and Redd Gold, four enemies.
He looked at Severston.
"Did you know about the [Player] Plyer?
Severston did not directly answer but said:
"I was directly assigned to the Starry Abyss by the Qiqiao Network. I have been residing at headquarters, recovering and adapting to my new body."
"Oh."
Li Aozi nodded.
At this point, Li Aozi naturally understood that it would be impolite to continue the conversation.
"You've changed quite a bit, Lord Leoz."
"I am still ."
"No, you are much more humane than before."
Severston stepped forward and advised:
"There are paths you shouldn't take; you deserve better. Think of how difficult it was for you to co this far; do you really want to keep going?"
"My humanity was cleaved out by Redd Gold. Before that, I was rely a cannon fodder deity."
Li Aozi paused:
"Perhaps even now, they (Starry Abyss Divine Race) still see that way."
"Many Divine Clan Warriors, after being defeated in the War Beyond the Abyss, did not fall or return to the Primordial Abyss. The more resolute ones chose to die for their country, but most ultimately chose seclusion."
Severston said:
"Titles are given by others, wealth is from the market, but life is your own, Leoz. You've seen how badly Oxiulia has been hit; these Earthlings have fully advanced, and they're no longer of the sa species as we fought in the War Beyond the Abyss."
"Right."
Li Aozi retorted:
"Even I can't defeat them; do you think these young people could be a match for those super Earthlings?"
"...I believe in future generations."
Severston shook his head and said:
"Tis will develop. Now that [Players] have developed hacks, I will also create hacks. By then, it won't be hard for players to suppress and seal these Senators—you've already done everything you should."
"Severston, are you afraid of Gaia?"
"Leoz, you will bring war from the Layer Abyss to the Primordial Abyss. Even the nation you nurtured with your own hands, Oxiulia, with its 160 million people, you dared to treat as pawns and let others devour them, to fall within your plan. Once total war breaks out, all life in the Starry Abyss will be overturned."
"This is a war of national extinction and racial extermination! You live, I die!"
Li Aozi growled lowly:
"You and I are both part of this Grand Narrative. As long as needed, we must die!"
"But I want to live."
Severston said calmly:
"Leoz, you have no burdens. You can die for your goals, but I am a Raiding Chief God. My Favored Clan is still waiting for my return; I am their only motivation for living. My life does not belong to but to those who love , respect , and have faith in ."
"Similarly, it's not just . Many are like ; they have family and children. People hope for their safe return. They have their personal motives! They have absolute reasons to fight against the Grand Narrative for one person."
"If you don't believe , then start a family with n, won, or robotic slis or Fire Elents. Go fall in love, get married, find a career you love, live well for decades, and then, when surrounded by children and grandchildren, a lover beside you, I'll find you then. I want to see if you'll still have the courage to fight Earthlings with bayonets."
Li Aozi fell silent.
Even so, Severston did not get angry.
"But, Leoz, you are my friend, my comrade-in-arms, the benefactor who saved and my Favored Clan multiple tis, Lord Leoz."
Severston stepped forward, kissed Li Aozi's cheeks and forehead, bowed with a hand over his chest, left arm behind his back, and slowly knelt on one knee in the most honorable salute of the Starry Abyss Divine Race.
"From a rational perspective, I shouldn't do this. I should directly hand over the Sinful Bone, which is Land Loyd, to Plyer and Oshen. But from an emotional perspective, I can't remain rational about this matter."
Then, He stood up, looked at Li Aozi, and said:
"No matter what you do, Lord Leoz, I respect your decision. You are my best friend; I'd willingly reincarnate ten tis to stand by your side. You once were cold and ruthless but defended the Ravaging Universe with your life multiple tis; those graces I can never repay."
"However, Lord Leoz, as your partner, I can't bear to see you suffer. I don't want to see you continue stepping into the Starry Abyss. You are all alone; why continue to battle? For the sake of pride? To beco a new oppressor over so-called injustice? To take revenge on Earthlings, you've learned their language, adopted their religion, changed your blood, and are more like Earthlings than Earthlings themselves."
"You shouldn't soil your hands. I sincerely hope you find your own happiness."
"But, I also support your personal wishes. As a partner, I want you to stop, but as a comrade-in-arms, I will follow you."
Severston straightened up, stepped back a few steps, and revealed the emaciated body of the Sinful Bone (Land Loyd).
"Make your choice."
