Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

The reward settlement is complete, and Li Aozi also begins to contact the Baizhu Fleet, planning to return.

Due to the greater gravity of the Dragon Satellite combined with the influence of the Void, the time flow rate is relatively slow. Li Aozi has been here for five years and seven months, but twelve years and five months have passed on Baizhu Star.

Fortunately, the government team on Baizhu Star first transitioned from a scholarly faction system, characterized by the tendency to rally people from their circle in times of trouble.

Aside from the President, there are a group of oligarchy groups belonging to Li Aozi that continue to control the politics.

If it were a traditional monarchical system, Li Aozi's offline monarchy would have caused trouble domestically long ago.

First, it's important to contact Baizhu Star and inquire about the situation.

When Li Aozi contacts the Baizhu government, it happens to be right after the election, with the Indalia Party winning.

The industrial group led by Li Aozi - the Indalia Party, firmly controls Baizhu's highest decision-making council, holding ninety percent of the council seats.

The Indalia Party has innate advantages that other groups simply do not possess:

First, Indalia is financially strong. Li Aozi took advantage of the Crystal Tower's withdrawal, causing many service industries and research institutions to go bankrupt, and the collapse of the old workshop system, acquiring numerous physical industries, both heavy and light, and even quite a few food sectors.

Second, at Li Aozi's behest, Indalia has an open and welcoming attitude towards immigrants from Azure Star. Li Aozi deliberately provides some benefits, like inexpensive housing in peripheral areas and unused vouchers, to guide players and immigrants from Azure Star to join Indalia.

This player group, not hundred percent, but at least ninety percent are warriors. When they come in, they bring the military into Indalia - this is Li Aozi's main goal.

Third is the existence of Li Aozi himself as the supreme combat power.

After breaking through Iota (9), the first thing Li Aozi did was send the news to the leader of the Indalia Party - Gleistin Pomerania. This news acted like a shot of adrenaline, not only explaining Li Aozi's years away but also immediately stabilizing the internal environment.

Why did the President disappear shortly after taking office? Foolish child, that's because His Excellency the President is about to reach Kappa (10) soon!

Currently, Baizhu Star is merely one planet with 27 colony planets, a total population of less than 14 billion in the autonomous state. Even though it has rested and reconstructed for 12 years, Zeta Rank (6) barely reached just over 2000.

Not to mention compared to the average Zeta Rank of the Dragon Satellite People - the super tough men, the comparison with the old employer, the Crystal Tower, which consumes one Zeta every four hours on average, is also quite shabby.

Now Li Aozi announces that he has reached Iota Rank, invigorating the Indalia group - no, the entire Crystal Tower system with morale.

The feats of defeating the Void Overlord also accompany the rise in legendary degree, quickly spreading throughout the Layer Abyss.

According to the Baizhu Autonomous State's laws, Li Aozi is actually no longer the President, but he is not worried at all.

The new President Gleistin has another identity as the current President of the Aid Study Society. This student autonomous organization has now become a tool for Li Aozi to win over intellectuals and youths.

One of his Perpetual Specializations, [Perpetual Vanguard]: When you have one attribute that is 10% higher than other attributes, you gain damage block for the exceeded portion.

The effect of Perpetual is that if the vanguard attribute is the main attribute of the occupation, for every 1 point of excess attribute, gain an additional point of damage block.

Damage block is more effective than armor-type equipment, directly blocking fixed damage.

This excellent defensive talent was the task reward obtained when the Aid Study Society was established.

Now, 12 years have passed, and many first batch Aid Study Society members have joined the Baizhu government and parliament lower house, serving as the eyes and mouthpiece for Li Aozi.

Even though the new President Gleistin's loyalty is beyond question, Li Aozi had already prepared for double insurance - at the founding, he established the belief in the "God of Reality" Leoz as the state religion, and he himself serves as a mentor in the [Sovereign] system.

Achieving domination over politics, intellectuals, industry, and state religion by one person, although nominally Li Aozi is not the leader of the organization, he actually controls the lifeline here.

New President Gleistin Pomerania, upon knowing Li Aozi is about to return, expresses his excitement repeatedly: "That's great, Lord Leoz, the country needs you now! This is the best news we've heard this year."

"The best news?" Li Aozi raises an eyebrow: "What happened?"

At this point, President Gleistin immediately became serious:

"In this environment, explaining isn't very secure... Your Excellency should return before discussing it."

"No need to worry about confidentiality, let me guess." Li Aozi squints his eyes: "It's a problem on the Crystal Tower's side, right?"

"— Yes." Gleistin smiles bitterly: "While you were away, the Crystal Tower tried to pull us in three times consecutively to form an all-weather strategic defense cooperation pact and dangled educational resources as temptation - a large amount of magical knowledge and teacher teams, which we desperately need."

"Strategic cooperation is fine, I signed before." Li Aozi says: "But judging by your expression, is the Crystal Tower beginning to play the race and sentiment card? After all, 17 years have passed, our Zeta Rank are also gradually being developed."

"Just as you said, Your Excellency." Gleistin says solemnly: "The Crystal Tower Civilization wants to establish a Blood Covenant relationship with us."

Li Aozi furrows his brows and blurts out:

"Is the Crystal Tower out of people? They're even eyeing my several thousand Zeta Rank (6)."

"You are right, Lord Leoz." Gleistin couldn't help but laugh and cry: "This matter should wait till you're back to discuss. There's a major issue over at the Eye of the Galaxy."

"A major issue?"

Li Aozi mutters a sentence. In the next moment, a blurry murmur suddenly echoes in his ears.

[Traits: 'From Star Abyss' has been triggered]

[Whispers from Star Abyss guide you towards the future]

[A timeline extends forward, your thoughts leap along with time, browsing choices amid countless intertwined futures.]

[Finally, you find the path most easily pulled by reality's guidance.]

"...I see."

Li Aozi lightly rubs his temples, his gaze shrewd.

Although he knew before that the Star Abyss's blessing was quite objective, when it truly fell upon him, Li Aozi couldn't help but be amazed repeatedly.

This is indeed an outstanding ability.

Timeline preview is more detailed than the Gambler's prophecy, more stable than the Mysterious system's divination, and even more logical than technological simulations of the future.

The Star Abyss seems to regard him as Xides, no, he is Xides now. Just recently, when the Eye of the Galaxy was mentioned, Star Abyss proactively revealed to him the three timelines with the highest probability.

First - the brutal meat grinder of the Eye of the Galaxy is not a simple war; both sides appear to be vying for certain unique existences. Perhaps treasures, or possibly powerful forces.

And that force is not something unfamiliar to Li Aozi.

In this timeline, Li Aozi sees some familiar figures:

Frost Plated's mecha gallops in the galaxy, warships bearing the Red Arrow flag sail towards the dark...

Many familiar people.

He sees a white-haired, violet-eyed girl weaving through the trenches.

He sees a mechanical priest clad in black robes, raising a Magnum Hand Cannon towards him, then pulling the trigger.

He sees the ferocious White Shark climb out of the ashes, open its mouth wide, and wield its blade towards the starry sky.

The red-black sky flickers with ominous thunder, people kneel towards the storm.

And within that sweeping sky, Li Aozi sees a massive, ancient, eternal, terrifying figure.

It turns, faces Li Aozi, revealing an ambiguous derisive smile.

"Lord Entropy!"
