"Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say."
Xides lifted his hand and placed the dragon-faced mask on his face:
"Leoz, you will pay the price for your heinous cris—"
Before he could finish, a dazzling golden light burst forth from Li Aozi’s hand.
teor Fall: Shining Sword!
High-energy particles surged and erupted, and the radiant light blade instantly expanded to eight hundred kiloters. Li Aozi raised the blade, and the golden brilliance instantly penetrated and evaporated the Void Palace along with the tens of thousands of ters of ocean, sky, and atmosphere above!
———— Whoosh!
"Whoa!"
Qinlan Jiuge, watching from outer space, instinctively turned her head. In the next mont, the shining blade brushed past her face, and the fragnts of light that shattered and splintered fell on her cheek, which should have been swallowed by the distortion curse of the Border Abyss.
However, this did not happen.
Ssshhh...
A scorching sensation ca from the skin on her cheek, and she raised an eyebrow, surprised.
"This power can actually surpass the authority of the Starry Abyss... No, this is the power of the Starry Abyss. However, it doesn’t represent the Will of the minority Starry Abyss but cos from the stars of the universe—the power yearned for by the majority of the world."
"If it develops further..."
Qinlan Jiuge slapped her forehead excitedly and said:
"Hoho, interesting! This trip was truly not in vain—since that’s the case, let lend you a hand and see how powerful this force that responds to the Will of the stars can beco!"
The radiant blade was about to strike down instantly. Qinlan Jiuge raised the wine jug in her hand and tossed it toward the blade—a few drops of highly concentrated liquid, in the vacuum, turned into hard ice beads that imdiately integrated into the form of the Shining Sword.
[Hint: You have gained the status—’Fuel with Wine’ (Magic Damage 20%, Duration 40 minutes)]
Boom!
The shining blade swiftly slashed down, the ocean was cleaved open, and under the cutting of the blazing light blade, the Dragon Satellite was instantly dismantled, losing 12% of its territory, transforming from a complete sphere into an ugly potato.
Boooooom...
The seawater poured into the Void Palace, then was infected by the Void, stripped and reverted into basic particles like hydrogen and oxygen. Accompanied by a brief reversal reaction, a massive amount of thermal energy was released instantaneously. Within a few seconds, the temperature at the seabed had reached hundreds of thousands of degrees.
Ssshhh...
"Leoz."
The gray-white slick armored suit beca red-hot. Xides raised his fist, looking at the burn marks on his palm, he calmly said:
"You are just like before, no matter how you cleanse yourself, you are still a usurping tyrant, a despicable sneak attack villain..."
Whoop-pop!
Li Aozi stepped out from the tiline, spreading his arms to place Zhi Xiang and the two ladies N4 on the shore.
"I truly did not expect there would be a day when you were saved—no, rather, I never thought that you would take action to save those unrelated to you."
N4 clutched her head, facing the Giant God form of Li Aozi, and sighed:
"I thought you and I were the sa people. No matter how much I imagined your limits, I never thought you would have such capabilities—I underestimated you, Li Aozi—or should I say, Leoz?"
"There is no difference between the two."
Li Aozi said calmly, turning his head to look at Zhi Xiang:
"As for my transformation—it’s thanks to you. In terms of human relationships, you have benefited greatly, Zhi Xiang."
"Hehe... I’m not human myself. Rather than saying that I taught you how to be human, it’s more accurate to say that you mastered it all on your own."
Zhi Xiang gently shook her head, the wind lifted her purple braid:
"By now, you should also understand that so-called ’humanity’ is everything about you in the world. People hold ideals and moonlight in their hearts, yet they must constantly stoop to pick up the coins on the ground. Neither humble nor noble, fundantally, there is no difference between a President and a beggar—and because of this, you have the unlimited potential to extend into the future. This is the infinite possibility that the deity Leoz can never attain..."
"In the infinite journey of life, you can learn all kinds of things. Starting from having nothing, you learn to fight, hunt, and acquire the capital of survival, then you begin to seek secure shelter, find mates to continue life, seek collective recognition, and then spiritual sustenance... That’s how humans are, gradually moving from ’individual’ to ’collective.’"
"Now, Leoz, you are no longer the ’usurping tyrant’ who existed only for yourself. There will be those who love you, follow you, and are willing to go through fire and water for your ideals—you are not just you, you are everything."
"Don’t speak of those philosophical thoughts that are over a year of schooling, I don’t understand."
Li Aozi knelt on one knee and joked to it:
"I just felt that I could do it, I could do it better—and then I just did it."
He said this, standing up and turning to look into the depths of the ocean, tens of thousands of ters away, where Xides stood on the ocean floor.
"—Truly worthy of the Kappa Rank (10)."
Li Aozi raised his hand, and even at such a distance, the terrifying distorted aura on the other side made him tremble uncontrollably.
After delaying for such a long ti, he managed to unleash the most powerful teor Fall Technique in his hand, the "Shining Sword," even slicing a corner off the Dragon Satellite with it.
Yet, even so, Xides took it head-on.
Of course—he wasn’t unhard.
Li Aozi’s gaze fell on Xides’ hand. The latter noticed his line of sight and snorted coldly, imdiately clenching his fist to hide the mark left by the "Shining Sword."
"I’m curious, even if your rank is higher than mine, what’s the use? In the end, aren’t you still all timid facing ?"
Li Aozi’s voice was transmitted to Xides’ ear accompanied by gravitational waves.
"You can only talk big here."
Xides coldly said:
"Look around you, this planet is about to be swallowed by the void’s narrative, do you really think I’m just standing here dumbly explaining to you?"
"Indeed."
Li Aozi glanced at the void sky curtain expanding at a visible speed, with purple coral and crystallization rapidly taking form on the land and ocean, and the void’s aura in the air growing thicker, even wiping out most bacteria.
"In the larger context, the Dragon Satellite’s incorporation into the grand narrative by the void is almost irreversible. And as for you, you’ve been pulling your body out of the void during our conversation. Looking at you now—I’d say you’ve already ascended to the Border Abyss."
"It seems you are quite aware of your situation."
Xides raised his hand, and a large amount of void coral imdiately appeared beside him, under his conscious command, these corals quickly restored the appearance of the eight Knights of the High Table defeated by Li Aozi:
"You can try to keep struggling, Leoz, but even if I don’t intervene, the Seventh Path will completely crush you by obstructing the grand narrative from continuing."
Xides sneered:
"You’re finished, Leoz. Whether it’s as an individual or the narrative behind , you’re no match for , all the humiliation and cris you subjected to in the past, now it’s all coming back!"
"Yeah, I can’t beat you."
Li Aozi raised his blade, and Zaniya on his shoulder was shocked to hear this:
"Hey, Leoz! Are you kidding? We’ve made up our minds to fight to this point, and now you’re surrendering?"
"Hahaha, Leoz, it’s truly a sha, now even surrender won’t—"
"But, who said it’s obstructing your grand narrative?"
Li Aozi said calmly:
"This is the Layer Abyss, the territory of the three great narratives, it’s not up to you nihilists to act recklessly."
"So what, can you unite the three great narratives to oppose the void?"
Xides’ voice had just fallen, and suddenly his pupils shrank:
"My body... how could this happen?"
"Speaking of which, the ti is about right—when the body reaches the Layer Abyss, it should ascend step by step, from the Zhou Yuan to the Border Abyss, endure a curse, then ascend from the Border Abyss to the Layer Abyss, endure another curse, but for narrative civilizations with inherent ti domains, they can stay within the narrative for a while to restore their strength."
From the beginning, Xides’ thought process and strategy could never surpass his mastery.
"That’s also why narrative civilizations specifically form Underwater Abyss Teams. Establish their ’enclaves’ in each layer of the Starry Abyss, or say consulate-like liaison offices. It’s not just for diplomatic convenience, but to help the strong ones of their ho nation return."
Xides’ pupils trembled, and he desperately called for his own body’s presence.
But what responded to him was only a deathly silence more void than the void itself.
"How coincidental, we just had the most serious underwater abyss accident in the history of the Layer Abyss."
Li Aozi laughed and said:
"Xides Grand Lord—do you know what a Level Five silent disconnection ans?"
