Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

In the primeval beginning, the Starry Abyss first descended.

Nurturing all things, the Lord Entropy, Zhi Xiang, and other Primordial Species began to wander the universe. They possessed unlimited life, or rather, life could not define their existence.

At this time, all was exceedingly tranquil.

Years later, the Starry Abyss sensed the signs of a Destroyer invasion and began devising a counterattack strategy.

The Destroyer was almost an embodiment of all rules of existence, chosen from within a universe, which it would first devour, then move on to other universes, collaborating with like-minded Destroyers.

The goal of the Destroyer was to devour, destroy, and eradicate everything, leaving no trace of the Void, laying the foundation for the birth of new worlds.

In a certain sense, the Destroyer served as a self-optimization mechanism of all universes, akin to the autophagic mechanism in cells, and exceedingly rational.

However, the newly born Starry Abyss was filled with Fear towards the Destroyer, refusing to be annihilated.

To delay the advance of the Destroyer as much as possible, the Starry Abyss split into six layers; except for the Primordial Abyss, the upper five layers were projections of the Primordial Abyss, maximizing the protection of the Starry Abyss's safety.

Nevertheless, the advance of the Destroyer was unstoppable, still causing the Starry Abyss anxiety.

At that time, the Starry Abyss conceived a new strategy: dispatching six Main Gods to take the initiative, open up a Beyond-Abyss Battleground, granting them the Mandate of the creator, establishing six Abyssal Outer Universes, where construction, development, and combat ran parallel, forming an independent outer defense line.

The Six Great Main Gods aggressively fought back, and as the battle lines grew tense, the Starry Abyss realized the initial Main God system could not support a prolonged war, thus began crafting the Second Generation Divine Warriors.

The Second Generation Deities belonged to different races under the Pathway of the Six Main Gods, although they lacked the creator's power of the Main Gods, they were from the outset bestowed with God Titles, Divine Rights, and posthumous benefits. In this generation, many renowned leader Divine Warriors emerged.

Simultaneously, to support the Abyssal Outer Universes, the Will of the Starry Abyss also began mass-producing expendable deities from within the Chaos.

One such deity, numbered 10752, was produced one day and dispatched to the Morphederia Universe for combat.

This was the Third Generation of Divine Warriors. The appearance of Cannon Fodder Deities greatly alleviated the pressure on the front lines. These deities, requiring no elaborate training or proper sustenance, would be shattered and recycled immediately after death for reproduction, having neither personality nor will, nor the ability to rebel or indulge.

Gradually, the number of Cannon Fodder Deities increased, achieving a numerical advantage in some Starfields, allowing the Cannon Fodder Deity Leoz to accumulate abundant battle experience and learn much precious knowledge.

However, the power of the Destroyer far surpassed the limits of the Main Gods and their followers, leading to one universe after another being breached, and the power of the three Destroyers kept expanding.

Faced with the unceasing warfare, the Main God Morphydelia of the Dominating Universe chose to feign infancy, saying, 'requires time to grow and develop, unable to join the battle now,' deceiving the Starry Abyss to support the Dominating Universe, remaining in a prolonged state of dormancy, passively avoiding combat.

Approximately 74.3% of the Cannon Fodder Deities perished in the Dominating Universe without a Main God overseeing it.

As the war continued, the Society-type enemies began appearing en masse beyond the Abyss. These living collective organisms, evolving through the power of Primordial Soil, could concentrate the strength of an entire civilization into one individual and redistribute the suffering of that individual across every citizen and land. Facing such formidable enemies, most Second Generation Divine Warriors lacked the power to oppose, and their numbers drastically reduced.

In the battle within the Dominating Universe, Cannon Fodder Deity #10752, through certain means, acquired a God Title—'Leoz' (Realze).

There is a saying that: Leoz inherited Reilette, the God of the Present World, by witnessing without saving Reilette and subsequently seizing the opportunity to claim battle merits.

However, there is some evidence suggesting: Leoz's God Title is indeed related to Reilette.

At the time, Reilette, bearing an important Task, was gravely wounded, beyond healing. To avoid delaying the military opportunity, Reilette chose to commit suicide, transferring their Mandate and weapons to Cannon Fodder Deity #10752, allowing Leoz to continue completing the Task.

The evidence is—Leoz, though from the Artistic Spirit Race, wielded the weapon 'Starlight Blade' which belonged to the Sovereign God Clan's Reilette.

If Reilette had truly perished due to Leoz's failure to intervene, Leoz would not have received the recognition of their weapon.

Both accounts have ample evidence supporting them, and the reality likely involves both occurring concurrently.

Namely: Leoz, despite lacking the subjective intent to save Reilette, objectively fulfilled Reilette's last wishes, inheriting Reilette's Mandate and weapons, and perfectly completed the Task.

Regardless of the truth, the fact of Leoz being conferred the God of the Present World title is recognized and unchangeable.

After obtaining the God Title, Leoz began gradually accumulating military merit, trading with Morphederia to acquire Authority.

Leoz was never the hero of any battle, but almost all the spiritual warriors expressed their willingness to fight alongside Leoz.

Most of the second-generation deities would only charge blindly and fight to the death, no matter how excellent their skills or powerful their strength, they would only die under the waves of the Destroyer Legion's repeated attacks.

Due to originating from cannon fodder deities, Leoz had no scruples in his mind and actively recruited all members of neutral factions.

When confronting the Destroyer's forces, Leoz keenly noticed that within the major races of the Destroyer's followers, there were also obvious divisions.

The Dark Titan race could receive higher pay and opportunities to meet Gelbroth, while ordinary giant warriors couldn't even enter the central area of the fortress, and elite talents were extracted by the upper echelons, forced to convert to Dark Titans.

Golden Dragons and Silver Dragons were naturally stronger than other dragon races, and while dinosaurs and birds were numerous, they could only play marginal roles.

Even within the Science Cult of the Eye of Discernment, there were internal disputes over rationality and technology, with many Technico Saints facing persecution due to academic interest conflicts.

Leoz, without any qualms about identity or faction, actively contacted and supported these discriminated individuals, gaining a wealth of information about the three main Destroyer identities, and even hired many Titan warriors to fight for him.

In the early stages of the Eternal Era, Leoz began to ascend to the ranks of high-command.

From then on, the number of victories in the Dominating Universe steadily increased.

Under Leoz's wisdom, he never fought epic battles and rarely accepted duels with generals.

Leoz believed that while spiritual warriors had strong individual strength, their numbers were always low, and so tactics should be changed.

First, Leoz greatly extended the front lines, introducing the spacetime system into battles. Timelines were no longer merely tools for long-distance transmission; in Leoz's hands, they became the depth of the battlefield.

To defeat a spiritual warrior under Leoz, one had to defeat them on every timeline, completely eliminating the possibility of their survival to succeed. Leoz deliberately allowed multiple spiritual warriors to form mixed teams, with timelines frequently intertwined, effectively preserving the living forces while extending the front lines to an extent that the Destroyer Legion could not accept.

After the defensive strategies concluded, Leoz began to fully utilize the World Tree of the Starry Abyss and timeline technology to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Destroyers.

A large number of spiritual warriors took advantage of the timelines, roaming freely through the corners of history, leveraging the butterfly effect to gradually sever supply lines, assassinate middle and lower-level enemy officers, preventing the Destroyer's legions from coordinating.

The Destroyers could never concentrate their power like they did when they broke through the Ravaging Universe, and they couldn't break through the Mother Star Haines in one fell swoop.

Leoz often led elite spiritual warriors in tactical insertions against large-scale legions, even intentionally yielding numerous resource-less star systems to lure the Destroyer army into occupation, then seizing opportunities to attack the weak points lacking personnel.

By the mid-Eternal Era, the God of the Present World, Leoz, had risen to the status of 'Dulawa' (equivalent to Prime Minister), and the Destroyers could no longer seize even an inch of land from Leoz.

But even so, Leoz still couldn't truly eliminate and expel the Destroyers, as his own power was limited by the upper limit of his species as a cannon fodder deity.

If he couldn't attain deity-level power, he couldn't fully drive out the Destroyers.

The Sovereign of the Dominating Universe, Main God Morphydelia, witnessed the fate of the Six Great Main Gods:

The Destroyer and Fine Artistry main gods were eradicated. However, due to their vast forces and numerous races, refugees within their universe quickly rose after falling into the Starry Abyss, making the Destroyer and Fine Artistry pathways the most popular pathways of the universe.

The Mysterious main god was divided into three, falling into the Starry Abyss and losing command ability. From then on, the Mysterious Divine Clan completely split, with most spiritual warriors becoming thoroughly corrupted in the absence of a backbone, turning into warlord-natured evil gods in certain areas of the Starry Abyss (especially the Nether Abyss, where there is an abundance of cannon fodder deities' remnants, thus becoming a 'minefield' for evil gods).

The Redemption main god, the Lai Anding Immortal Spirit, retreated in advance, preserving its strength.

The Raiding main god was first breached, and in the future, he would be schemed against by the Speaker of the Secret Society's Collector, Redd Gold, usurping history and divine right, surviving into the present era.

Morphydelia, seeing the miserable fate of companions (except the Raiding faction), no longer had the heart to resist external enemies. Continuously disguised as an infant to win sympathy from the Starry Abyss for assistance, refusing to intervene against the Destroyers.

We have no way of knowing what kind of ideological struggle Leoz went through—or perhaps none at all.

Regardless, we only know one thing: in the face of Morphydelia's passive avoidance of battle, more and more spiritual warriors felt dissatisfied and angry, and Leoz chose to inherit this anger, standing up as a representative, or perhaps simply because he thought it more efficient.

Ultimately, Leoz launched the usurpation plan.
