Li Aozi looked at the other, his gaze calm.
"No need to be nervous, buddy." Qinlan Jiuge took a swig of wine, speaking lazily, "You can ask around about my reputation. Anyone who’s had contact with will give a unified assessnt."
"A drunkard?"
"Trustworthy! Trustworthy! A re 60-proof white liquor doesn’t count as drinking! It’s just mouthwash!"
Qinlan declared righteously:
"I am often summoned by the Layer Abyss, you should understand that without being honest and trustworthy, it’s impossible to be valued by the Layer Abyss. I’m only asking about your identity out of personal curiosity."
[That can’t be said for sure...]
Li Aozi shrugged:
"I’m just a nobody, no need for you to dig into every detail. After this incident, we surely won’t have any further contact."
"That can’t be said for sure... Firstly, this Void invasion, I have to report it up, and in the Inherent Ti Domain, many things are handled very quickly."
Qinlan took a sip of wine, shook the wine pot, and said:
"Although this is the fringe of the Layer Abyss, even the Eye of the Galaxy nearby is a renowned existence in the universe. People use ’Eye of the Galaxy’ to refer to a at grinder-like battlefield—buddy, it’s impossible you’d dare co alone to the Void invasion zone. Perhaps when you defeat the enemy and co out, you’ll be greeted by the Empire’s fleet."
"That would be just perfect." Li Aozi smiled frankly, "Resisting the Void and external threats is the top priority for us people of the Layer Abyss. Dealing with the Void Overlord here is very difficult alone for ..."
"By the way, you wouldn’t think that in our narratives, sending combat troops forward ans sending Kappa (10), would you?"
Qinlan took a sip of wine, her blue eyes slightly shining:
"Although I don’t know why you must protect this undeveloped Primitive Planet—but you surely don’t want the Empire to incorporate this so-called... Dragon Satellite into the Grand Narrative, right."
Qinlan’s gaze was very subtle:
"Have you seen the Void invasion? The Empire is not as slow and gentle, because the Empire’s Grand Narrative is not a nihilism that rely increases internal consumption."
She placed her hands behind her head, smiling and said:
"The Grand Narrative of the 13th narrative, ’Empire of Heralds,’ is the most domineering ideal of the new era:"
"—Imperialism!"
"Any land the Empire desires, we will send young people to conquer, to colonize, to seize and plunder, to subjugate them to the culture and economy of the Empire. With overwhelming strength, they spontaneously beco our affiliated civilizations."
Qinlan raised her index finger:
"So, buddy, do you think handing over this planet to the Void is scarier, or to us, the Empire, is more cruel?"
Li Aozi’s gaze remained calm.
"Of course it’s the Void."
Li Aozi smiled gently, speaking in a humble tone:
"Because this new narrative of the Empire is too weak to achieve cross-regional expansion of the Inherent Ti Domain."
Qinlan was taken aback, then grabbed Li Aozi’s neck with a void hand, her pupils contracting as she coldly asked:
"You’re talking nonsense! Who told you this nonsense?"
"Whether it’s nonsense, you can ask Philosopher King Danton Augustus Alfonsus Richelieu himself."
Li Aozi responded calmly:
"If you’re trying to use the narrative’s domineering manner to threaten into revealing my identity, or trying to use this chance to extract information about the Void, this thod is ineffective on ."
"You—"
"Nur 12, [Hydra Laboratory], Susu Incident, Thebes Star Out-of-control Incident, Wulandao Murder, Kukuzi Diplomatic Incident..."
Li Aozi said blandly:
"I know far more of the Empire’s dark secrets than you do, but rest assured, even so, I still favor the Empire."
Qinlan gazed at him, suddenly chuckling:
"Is that so, seems I’ve indeed underestimated you."
She spoke, loosening her hand and voluntarily stepping away from Li Aozi, allowing a visually safe distance, shaking the wine pot, she said:
"Tsk tsk tsk—no need to be so tense, really, just asking a na..."
"If I were only Zeta Rank, I certainly wouldn’t care about my real na being leaked."
Li Aozi smiled slightly:
"But now I’m Iota (9), people of the Empire should be aware that when the Starry Abyss dives, the Diver’s spirit is completely undefended, hence the mber list is absolutely confidential, once leaked, it would be specially corrupted by [Society]."
"What? You don’t trust the Empire’s confidentiality asures?"
"Consider it for the sake of Lady Qin Jiu’s help."
Li Aozi spread his hands, saying:
"There’s a traitor within the Empire."
"...Ha?"
"Five years ago, the Layer Abyss should have experienced a Level Five silent disconnection, but judging by your deanor, it probably ended without results, unable to trace the betrayer."
Li Aozi tapped his head lightly, saying softly:
"If you don’t report the Void and Dragon Satellite matters, I can tell you the na of the traitor."
Qinlan gripped the wine pot, suspiciously glancing at Li Aozi:
"...Do you think you can make a deal with ?"
"Wasn’t it said yourself—all who have co into contact with you praise your trustworthiness."
Li Aozi chuckled slightly, saying:
"Of course, Level Five disconnection involves a vast number of personnel—I can give you half of the remaining nas on the list, and when you return to the Inherent Ti Domain, you can test them first. If genuine, you can choose to complete the transaction."
"...You’re truly well-knowing of the Empire, I suspect you were a citizen of the Empire in a past life."
Qinlan narrowed her eyes, she spread her hand:
"Alright, let’s do as you say."
Li Aozi imdiately transmitted the information through gravity waves, Qinlan frowned:
"Are you kidding? Executive Bilute was a great war hero last ti..."
"Whether it is or not, you can find out."
"Hmph, truly a smooth-talking kid."
Qinlan took a swig of wine, casually asked:
"Hey, speaking of which, what are you going to do next? Ninety-five percent of this planet’s area has already been swallowed by the Void. Once it’s fully converted into the Inherent Ti Domain, the three Grand Narratives will also intervene."
Li Aozi said, "I’m going to kill a Great Monarch."
"Really?"
Qinlan nodded:
"You truly care about this planet, huh."
"Just keeping a promise with soone."
Li Aozi said:
"If you’re not in a hurry, I’ll be back soon, when I can go to the Empire with you."
"Not willing to divulge your na yet daring to enter the Empire." Qinlan gave Li Aozi a aningful look, "Alright, I like people who keep promises, I trust you this ti—I’ll wait here, you kill the Void Overlord, and go to the Empire with ."
"Thanks for understanding."
Li Aozi turned and stepped into the tiline.
[Plan complete.]
[Even if I fail, the Void Overlord will have a minimum of a Kappa Rank (10) to deal with it.]
[Forgive for being so pragmatic, Zhi Xiang, but I’ll do my utmost to achieve it.]
[I believe, I can fulfill my promise with you.]
Li Aozi stepped out from the tiline, nine masks of the Knights of the High Table floating in his hand, he looked up at the presence on the throne.
"Let it all end."
