Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

The overwhelming amount of new version information instantly gave the player community a little shock of the Starry Abyss.

"Three new origin options, two under Li Aozi's faction, this is a big benefit for the Fiery Summer District, did the designer use their feet to balance this?"

"Steamed bun, you're unhappy? I'm a Starry Abyss player too, and I don't feel it's unfair. Besides, there's no exclusive seal on 'Starry Abyss', you can come to the Fiery Summer District too."

"Protest protest! Azure Star has its exclusive Lord Entropy BOSSMain Quest, designer, are you doing justice to us Ajincour District players? We've been farming since the beta version! The update has finally come, and the new version opens an ocean planet for us, specifically for sea farming—damn gentle! At least give a pasture or a fishing ground!"

"The old bros of Ajincour have been PUA-ed to the brink by the officials, as long as they give them a fishing ground, they're satisfied, so pitiful, cherish life, stay away from farming..."

"The new version directly opened up career limits to Iota (9) level, but according to plot hints from the last version, we have ample reason to believe: this version, players are bound to descend to the Lower Starry Abyss."

"The person above is too optimistic, I think this game is only in its second version, there's no need for such a fast pace, once the Six-Layered Starry Abyss is done, what will we play?"

"Exactly, even flop online novel authors know to extend popularity scripts for more money, how could Qiqiao Network not understand the idea of slow and steady? Could it possibly treat popular characters casually?"

"I won't let you insult Qiqiao Network, it's my dad!"

In the lively atmosphere among netizens, various discussions emerged endlessly. Jiaozi Niu happily spammed in various forum sections, while also enjoying a few fan art pictures of female characters released in the new version. Unfortunately, he is currently a public figure and can't casually like and collect lewd pictures posted by others, so he can only save them quietly, expressing his respect for the artist in his heart.

After browsing around and collecting a large amount of exquisite artwork, a post caught Jiaozi Niu's attention:

[Boutique] Exclusive Analysis: What's the Story in the 2.0 Version of 'Starry Abyss'

"Hello everyone, I'm Tokushima Tally, and the version update just released an expansion pack. I did some organizing overnight and found many interesting points, the story that Starry Abyss 2.0 wants to tell is very explosive, let me share it with you here."

As someone who almost never looks at the storyline, Jiaozi Niu for the first time became interested in such a post and clicked it to see what it was talking about.

"First, before starting version 2.0, let's briefly go over what the 1.0 version 'Contempt Maxim' story was about. Considering 'Starry Abyss' has many servers, for ease of understanding, I'll start with the Azure Star Main Quest everyone is most familiar with."

"'Contempt Maxim'—the title meaning is suggestive of disdain with quite some criticisms, this is the attitude of Cosmic Citizens towards us 'Descenders', and the whole story unfolds around this background. Players will keep practicing their values throughout this process, completing various tasks, gaining people's trust, and finally integrating into the Starry Abyss, this is the main theme of Contempt Maxim."

"Azure Star Main Quest—'The Beginning of Chaos'.

"In the beta version, players and the Pathway mentor Li Aozi worked together to defeat the Sky Ring Army and send a batch of Elite into space. Then, in the 1.0 version, under Li Aozi's guidance, we successfully reached the edge of the Layer Abyss—Eye of the Galaxy, with the help of the unique Materialism Magic civilization 'Crystal Tower', established a firm footing on Baizhu Star, and began to thrive."

"A new storyline emerged: 'Mechanical World Society' Mashigang. Facing a 'Society' type enemy for the first time, we players suffered heavy losses. But we ultimately repelled and defeated this horrifying target."

"After the war, Li Aozi spent five years achieving the presidency of Baizhu Star, and countless players, with the mentor's help, began continually immigrating to Baizhu Star through Star Gates and similar means."

"Subsequently, Li Aozi launched a grand expedition, exploring and colonizing unknown star systems on a large scale, and there were many interesting plots during this period. My favorite was bombing Ziluo Star, it was so satisfying, bullying the indigenous people is truly delightful..."

Jiaozi Niu was silent for a while but continued to read on.

"Looking back, just as players were continuously expanding the galaxy, a crisis on Azure Star had also emerged."

"The Frost Plated Republic had been replaced, and a strongman President David Lyn immediately launched reforms. However, the ambitions of Frost Plated's old faction were undying, and they formed the 'White Plum Army', starting activities everywhere, spreading matriarchal ideology and male original sin theory, intending to divide and disband the Federation."

"Of course, fundamentally, the emergence of the White Plum Army was also due to David Lyn's approach to domestic issues with sweeping reforms."

"With fierce gender tensions, marriage was directly abolished, labor protection laws were canceled, and a high inheritance tax was levied. All dangerous workplaces were opened to everyone. In the construction of the Underground City project, 35,000 female laborers died within just a single quarter."

"However, Frost Plated's population was unaffected, thanks to His Excellency David Lyn fully unlocking the use of controversial technologies, especially artificial wombs, large-scale nurseries, and mechanical nannies. Numerous companies obtained approval to freely extract genes from national reproductive banks, selectively cultivating the workers, engineers, and service personnel they needed."
