The entire process was already very clear.
The Starry Abyss sent their original seed, which descended upon Li Mingji.
As for Li Mingji, his identity in reality was Li Zi.
Thinking carefully, many aspects seed quite strange.
Clearly, Li Aozi ca from a humble background, and there were no attractive people in his family lineage, yet in his generation, everyone’s appearance was astonishing, and their charms far surpassed those of mortals.
According to Leoz’s highly pragmatic and efficient nature, Leoz would surely choose the [Destroyer] system as a start, gradually transitioning to his own pathway, aligning with reality.
However, for so reason, the Void infected Li Mingji.
From him, elents such as the system, mory, and identity were stripped away—this was sothing Li Aozi deeply experienced.
He was infected and took a full five years to recover by a stroke of luck.
"The system and mories in all co from the Starry Abyssal Chosen’s seed, from Li Mingji... As for how they ca to , maybe you should ask Leoz."
No, it shouldn’t be said that way.
A little thought made it clear that if Li Zi were Li Mingji, then Li Aozi would be Leoz.
"No wonder Granny Atamash was so certain during her divination..."
Back at Valkyrie Fortress, the forr Oga powerhouse Granny Atamash not only gave him a ’Truth dicine Replica’ but also repeatedly emphasized that "Li Aozi is Leoz," though her words about Li Zi were quite ambiguous.
Li Aozi rembered clearly what Granny Atamash had said back then:
"You, Li Aozi, Leoz, Li Zi, all of this is you."
The old woman spoke cleverly, not saying more than necessary.
She didn’t outright confirm that the three were the sa person, but she affird the unity of Li Aozi and Leoz.
[So, the words of prophets can’t be blindly trusted...]
But things reached this point, thanks to Gio Zieou’s big mouth, allowing Li Aozi to grasp the situation.
[In other words, the Starry Abyss side is likely not very friendly toward Leoz at the mont.]
[Firstly, Leoz’s unauthorized entry into the Starry Abyss wasn’t imdiately punished by Gaia, and he carried suspicions of hiding Primordial Soil—no, knowing Leoz, he definitely did. These doubts made the Starry Abyss uneasy, deeply questioning Leoz’s loyalty.]
Gio Zieou continued to talk boastfully about past events, elaborating on his deep friendship with Leoz, while Li Aozi conducted a rare ntal storm, quickly integrating his information.
[Secondly, the seed carefully prepared by the Starry Abyss descended upon Li Mingji but encountered so unexpected events and ended up being seized by Leoz. The timing of ’Leoz’s’ appearance and Li Mingji’s disappearance wasn’t far apart (just two years), making it hard to avoid suspicion from a macro perspective.]
As for Leoz?
Li Aozi now thoroughly understood Leoz’s old... his own thoughts.
Leoz must have quietly seized the opportunity, unwilling to let it slip away.
Wait...
Li Aozi suddenly realized sothing.
[Since Leoz seized the Starry Abyss’s seed, whether intentionally or not, there was no way he would give it back—wasn’t this quite similar to Redd Gold?!]
No wonder Leoz urged him to go directly to Redd Gold! Because now, both of them were in similar predicants, sharing both leverage and status.
Although the [Soul of Plunder], [Eternal Speaker] Redd Gold was a double-dealing character, straddling both the Narrative Civilization and the [Secret Society].
But thinking carefully... this guy was one of the rare neutral parties in the Starry Abyss, seemingly a fence-sitter, yet holding command over the Narrative Civilization without any hint of fear.
Li Aozi had an epiphany.
Leoz, this guy’s words never leaked any information!
This person truly hadn’t lied, seemingly extre and radical decisions were rely misunderstood due to insufficient information.
In reality, Leoz had always been making the most efficient choices.
Hate Leoz, doubt Leoz, understand Leoz, beco Leoz, surpass Leoz!
"Sorry, Leoz, I wronged you... No, why should I wrong myself? I am Leoz!"
He felt a bit amused and helpless.
Since realizing that he was Leoz reincarnated, he never felt ’trapped by the destiny of a past life, unable to escape its shadow.’ There was no repulsion towards the gradual fusion of the two.
Because from start to finish, ’Li Aozi’ was just Leoz in a different body, along with seizing Li Mingji’s external enhancents and strategies.
He also effortlessly gained the humanity that Leoz had never managed to obtain.
This wasn’t just a simple win, no matter how you looked at it, it was like Emperor Qin Shi Huang grabbing a live wire, a total jackpot.
At first glance, it seed a bit immoral, but thinking in depth, a ’son’ grabbing the external enhancents of a nominal ’father’... seed even worse.
Although he was certain, Li Mingji and Li Aozi had no blood relation at all, morally it still felt odd.
With his information clear, Li Aozi felt much relieved.
For a long ti, the doubts weighing on his mind had mostly been cleared.
’Who am I’ — Leoz was Li Aozi, without any dispute.
’Where did I co from?’ — From the cosmic realm of Morphederia, Mother Star Haines, exiled after a defeat.
’Where am I going?’ — With his goals now confird, he needed to build his narrative to compete with both the Starry Abyss and the [Society], preventing them from purging or attacking him. If given the chance, he even aid to invade Earth and completely end the [Secret Society]’s myth, thus ensuring his safety.
Originally, Li Aozi had a relatively friendly attitude toward the players, pampering the Little Piggies until they were well-fed, mainly because of ’Li Zi’s’ mories and his fondness for the so-called ’real world’.
But now...
The Little Piggies had to be released.
The strategic change in thought was significant, Gio Zieou’s appearance was indeed a boon for him—answers that might have taken decades or even centuries were now all found within a few minutes.
[Next, I still need to contact Redd Gold. Although I am already at Iota (9), the gap between and Redd Gold is still vast.]
The Starry Abyss side is not benevolent, the players are skin-changing deities with complex goals, but he could leverage his advantages to NTR (Convert) the players to his side.
As the Chief God of the Plundering System, Redd Gold would surely have a way.
But before that...
"Gio Zieou."
Li Aozi spoke:
"The two of us together can subdue the remaining Knights of the High Table. I need your cooperation; I am determined to take control of this planet."
Gio Zieou nodded slightly:
"Although I don’t know what you see in this broken planet... If you manage to take control and expel the Void from the Layer Abyss, it would greatly aid my task—rest assured, I will join hands with you."
[This foolish gullible cow, just imitating Leoz’s tone was enough to lure him over.]
"I have a plan."
Li Aozi had the Blacksmith’s notes float before the two ’individuals’ and began explaining ticulously:
"The remaining Knights of the High Table include four: ’White Crow’ Aiwens, ’Sea Maiden’ lissa, ’Magic Eye’ Reyes, and Mashnat. Next, we also need to contend with the Fermi Research Institute to seize the two masks from ’The Poet’ Chen Wenjing."
"It seems difficult to find the right timing... These people are too scattered, their bases are far apart, seeking them out individually might alert them. If we split up, we could be ambushed... If that goes wrong, it would be quite disgraceful for deities."
Gio Zieou, stroking his chin, suddenly had a thought:
"Wait, since we need to enter the Fermi Research Institute to seize the masks... why not find a way to make them gather there and catch them all in one go?"
"Exactly."
Li Aozi said calmly:
"But we need a reason, a reason for the Knights of the High Table to gather at the Fermi Research Institute."
"But where do we find this ’reason’?"
Gio Zieou’s words had barely left his mouth before he noticed Li Aozi staring silently at him with his deep blue eyes.
"...Hey, your eyes are really beautiful."
Gio Zieou laughed:
"So, have you found the reason?"
Li Aozi stared at him.
"Have you found it?"
Li Aozi remained silent as Gio Zieou’s smile gradually faded.
"You’re thinking about where to find the reason, aren’t you?"
