Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Border Abyss, Cheris Garden.

Unlike Layer Abyss, the universe of Border Abyss lacks vacuum; in other words, the entire universe of Border Abyss resembles a box garden, forming a complete and grand ecological sphere.

Because of this, the four Narratives of Border Abyss long ago established a unified alliance, achieving rare harmony and peace among the various layers of Starry Abyss, with Border Abyss appearing as a permanently neutral universe, refusing to join any Starry Abyss War.

The vast unified land makes the Narrative Civilizations of Border Abyss exceptionally open-minded. They have prepared corresponding 'Stabyss Ports' for each major Narrative.

These serve both as embassies for facilitating cosmic diplomacy in the inherent temporal domains and as enclaves or overseas territories provided by Border Abyss for the major Narratives.

Among them, Cheris Garden, located in Narrative No.9 "Collapsed Homeland," is a small floating island quietly suspended above the ground of Border Abyss and serves as the Stabyss Port for Narrative No.6 "Void Kingdom."

From the cosmic level, Zhou Yuan is closely connected with Border Abyss; citizens of the Void, if they wish to ascend to Border Abyss or Layer Abyss, must pass through this gateway, thus Cheris Garden can be said to be the lifeline connecting the Void with the upper levels of Starry Abyss. It's heavily guarded by Stabyss Port forces, and the Void places high importance on it, directly relocating a large population here, forming a city without stars.

The massive population also brings massive trade; many materials produced only in the Void are transported through Stabyss Port, enabling the citizens of Cheris Garden to amass wealth just from this alone, finding it hard to part even despite a curse.

Through perpetual neutrality, Border Abyss earns substantial tariffs, not to mention the colossal profits as middlemen.

Still, each major Narrative remains restrained, tacitly allowing the four Narratives of Border Abyss to act as stewards. All are Narratives; the main enemies are the Societies and the Fallen Evil Gods, and when unity is needed, unity must prevail.

However, even brothers must know their kin, so Border Abyss strictly controls the entry of violent individuals and individual powerhouses into Stabyss Ports.

Generally speaking, individual powerhouses from the upper/lower layers, when descending/ascending, no matter how strong, must settle and rest for hundreds of years. During this time, Border Abyss conducts background checks, ideological education, requires signing safety commitments, and learning laws and regulations.

Reality isn't a novel; often, the strong abide by the rule of law more than the weak because they are the lawmakers and beneficiaries, and maintaining order is beneficial for everyone.

Even the Void advocates a form of nihilistic order, similar to guild cooperation.

In fact, the procedures the Underwater Abyss Team members undergo aren't simpler than those of customs entry.

Still, in the face of the enormous profits and distant migrations stemming from the Underwater Abyss, criminals, Evil God devotees, terrorists, and political fugitives are impossible to eradicate forever.

Ascending from the lower to the upper layer can release potential, gain longer life, stronger individual Strength, and higher status.

Descending is akin to moving from a developed country to the third world, from the 3D World People to an Otherworld, conducting a dimensional reduction attack.

Many civilizations in Layer Abyss have ancestors who, unable to compete within the races of the lower layer Starry Abyss, moved their entire families upward, directly forming a tyrant in the new land.

This is equally true in Border Abyss.

The Void is eager to invade and wage war on other Starry Abyss but always exercises restraint towards the permanently neutral Border Abyss.

The citizens of Border Abyss are more than willing to engage simultaneously with both Void and Layer Abyss. This, of course, is somewhat related to their formation of a union by the four Narratives, possessing a slight degree of strength.

But neutrality also means that if any issues arise with these Narratives' enclaves, Border Abyss will not intervene.

For example, today.

When Void Overlord Xides emerged from the Stabyss Port, what lay before him was not the flourishing prosperity of Cheris Garden.

Instead, the air was filled with Mysterious blue smoke, surrounding desolation and decay, every sight revealing either the corpses of Void citizens or endless, ultimately helpless struggles.

"What the hell happened here... how can this be? Wasn't Cheris Garden managed very well?!"

Xides' true form stood two hundred meters tall, resembling a wingless Giant Dragon standing on its hind legs, its body ash-white, six tentacle-like arms writhing unconsciously in the air.

He stood amidst the towering Void Coral oceans, yet appeared extraordinarily small.

Even in such vast territories, the aura of devastation and collapse pervaded the entire space.

Xides found it hard to believe.

After all, this was an inherent temporal domain... and a well-protected one at that. Although some time had passed since they last heard from Cheris Garden, who would have thought it would have turned into scorched earth and Hell here?

"Who on earth did this?!"

Xides sensed something was amiss and quickly released his Mental Perception.

Soon, he discovered the cause.

The good news was, the culprit wasn't far away.

The bad news was, the culprit wasn't far away.

The moment Xides' perception spread out, the entire inherent temporal domain exploded.

Intense, dense, indescribable concentrated consciousness, akin to molten lava, surged from all directions!

"So, there's still a young individual here courting death."

The Void's coral clusters were stripped away, revealing a toad radiating colorful clouds as it slowly took shape. Its eyeballs were larger than a sun, and its slender tongue was studded with numerous satellite rings.

"The intensity is just right for my Speaker to get some good practice."

The clouds parted, and within the universe of Border Abyss, a creature that seemed like a cross between a mantis and a centipede fell. It was immersed in the nebulous clouds, its presence vacillating between real and unreal. Its huge thorax, due to excessive density, sank and collapsed forming a black hole, linking with its articulated body parts through gravitational pull.

"Such tender delicacy... a young Void Overlord."

A cold voice resonated from the depths of Starry Abyss, subsequently bringing forth an icy storm, quickly covering the Void lands in frost. From within the battlefield of ice and snow, a woman with white hair, pale skin, and icy blue eyes wrapped in chains slowly emerged.

She held a thorny ice orb in one hand and a golden Holy Grail filled with crimson wine in the other, raising the cup slowly upon Xides' arrival.

"[Doomspeaker] Qixi Lei, this Overlord is now your Ice Slave."

Swish......

The woman with ice-blue eyes opened her hand, the crimson wine spilling to the ground, immediately tracing and depicting vivid, dynamic shapes on the snowy surface.

Figures grasping reins, Dragon Knights, Giants bearing mountains, demonic swordsmen striking stars, as well as Mysterious figures whose forms defy description appeared.

"Fight for the [Epic Society] Reidori, forgotten Heroes sealed away."

Qixi Lei waved her hand coldly.

The next moment, the crimson ground instantly melted the snow, vividly molding shapes, imbued with souls.

Roar!!!!!!!

The frost Giant Dragon's roar pierced the sky.

Giant bearing mountains picked up fallen Starships as clubs, silently marching forward.

The swordsman gently honed his blade against the celestial moon.

The most enigmatic figure, clad in a yellow-black robe, each breath carrying the heavy lament of history, seemed not to belong to this world. The yellow-black robe swayed with the wind, a bizarre aura continuing to permeate the air.

This guy... this is the super-large Predator [Society]—[Epic Society] Reidori!

Xides nearly ceased breathing.

"This can't be, this can't be... How could at this juncture, [Societies] initiate such a large-scale invasion?"

At such a scale, even during the Leo-hosted 'Haines Defense Battle,' only 82 [Societies] participated!

How could a mere Cheris Garden, just an enclave, suffer invasion by three [Societies]?

No, it's not just that.

Xides gazed downwards.

There stood a presence that even the three major [Societies] dared not overstep.

Even [Epic Society]'s [Doomspeaker] Qixi Lei did not choose to continue advancing with her historical army.

She stood alone amid the wind and snow, the icy wind lifting her hood to reveal her gentle face.

"Hello there, Void youngling."

The woman smiled gently:

"Don't mind me, I am merely a Senator of the [Secret Society]—[Teacher]."
