Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Chapter 863: 465. Version Update Countdown · 3



The magic portal opened near Baizhu Star Harbor, and the X fleet returned fully loaded.

Despite Li Aozi's request for low-key publicity, with the media backing from the Narrative Civilization, keeping a low profile was impossible.

Throughout the journey, Li Aozi's communicator never stopped ringing, as embassies of various civilizations were trampled by visiting journalists and fans on the welcoming carpet.

After all, his credentials were indeed quite illustrious:

During his student days, he defeated the notorious convict "Canyue"

Repulsed the Mechanical World Society, almost single-handedly saving Baizhu Star

Took over Baizhu Star, launched a colonial expedition, opened numerous Dark Star Domains, successfully revitalizing the economy

Destroyed a Kappa Rank (10) Void Overlord with an Iota Rank (9)

Ended the brutal Galaxy Eye Meat Grinder War—in an absolutely overwhelming manner

This year, Li Aozi is only 33, unmarried, possessing billions in wealth, and holding real power.

Among all the leaders of the Starry Abyss's civilizations, he is a particularly dazzling star.

Those more politically skilled than Li Aozi couldn't fight like him.

Those stronger than Li Aozi weren't as young.

Those more youthful and vibrant than Li Aozi weren't as wealthy.

Those richer than Li Aozi weren't as beautiful.

The only possible shortcoming might be his education, as Li Aozi only holds a one-year master's degree. But considering he's on the brink of becoming a Longevity Breed, it's just a matter of time.

Among all civilizations, Li Aozi isn't the best, but he's an absolute all-rounder warrior, even at the weakest point of academic knowledge, Li Aozi is still at a passing level.

Opening the terminal, you'll find the trending searches have almost become a special on Leoz

#Jiumin, how can there be such a perfect person like Leoz, I wish to be the air in his house so I can blend into Lord Leoz's bloodstream

#[Fan Fiction | Slight OOC] Leoz X Colonel Kadun: Implant Gear and Mecha, loving and killing each other in the Galaxy Eye Meat Grinder War, it's too perfect to ship

#Leoz's Dopamine Outfits: Monday is blood-red tentacles, so sexy it's overwhelming; StarJungle II is a bright yellow striped uniform, so sexy it's overwhelming…

#[Night Butterfly Federation Recruitment Office]: Warriors, enlist now, and you might get killed by Lord Leoz!

#[Crystal Tower Recruitment Office]: Folks, head to Galaxy Eye now, and you might pick up the bodies killed by Lord Leoz!

With a casual swipe, Li Aozi was amused by these ridiculous and abstract trending topics.

"The news media really have no bottom line, stopping at nothing to grab attention."

Li Aozi shook his head, closed the terminal, and looked up at N4:

"You really did hide your true form, Ms. N4—it seems your pathway is not much worse than mine."

After returning, Li Aozi took a short break and then directly came to find N4 to discuss some things in person.

Before him, N4 had porcelain skin and jade bones, adorned in a complex and exquisite armor. Her level of ascension wasn't inferior to Li Aozi's at all, and her head was like a flower bud, enveloped in layers of complex flesh, only revealing a pair of painted-on luscious red lips.

"You're too kind, dear Li Aozi."

N4 smiled and said:

"I'm just an ordinary scholar. My pathway is just to research more knowledge, really no match for the butcher of the Galaxy Eye when it comes to fighting."

"A Zeta Rank (6) Biochemist able to create implant gear that greatly enhances the pathway of Iota Rank (9) Sovereigns, this is indeed quite peculiar."

Li Aozi crossed his legs, interlacing his fingers on his lap, and said blandly:

"But I'm not too bothered by these things. I usually grant my followers a lot of freedom—whether it's Baizhu Star or Descend into the Boundary Abyss next, I will need your help."

"I don't think that's the reason."

N4 chuckled, a scorpion crawled on her porcelain fingertips:

"The reason you trust me is because of the Xides issue."

"It's good that you know."

Li Aozi's smile was subtle, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and said:

"Few know about my killing Xides, and you're one of them. If the native deities on the Starry Abyss Side learn the truth, you won't be able to escape—yet you still chose to stand with me."

"Xides wasn't planning to let me go." N4 said calmly, "Dear Li Aozi, you also know, I'm a very practical person. Under normal circumstances, facing these issues in the Layer Abyss, there basically would be no way out for me, so it's better to stick with you to the end."

"You make it sound like my future is bleak—didn't you just praise me before and were willing to invest in me?"

"Oh dear, did my incarnation say that?"

N4 spread her hands:

"It's a pity I don't remember saying that, but you really should be careful. Acting so high-profile, trouble will inevitably come your way sooner or later."

"My enemies are the Starry Abyss, Society, and Earthlings. Facing these almost unbeatable existences, I should have long been mentally prepared for annihilation."

Li Aozi was unimpressed.

"You sound so impressive—well, that's how it is for Sovereign paths, without showing off, they're nothing."

N4 propped her chin:

"The salary remains unchanged. I want to continue Mingji Heavy Industries' business on Baizhu Star."

"As long as you abide by the law, pay your taxes, and remember to renew your work visa and get a green card on time, companies providing employment are welcome to come as many as they like."

"Hmm—"

N4 tilted her head, looking at Li Aozi:

"Although people say you're beautiful, today is the first time I've discovered that this isn't just flattery."

"I won't give you a tax break for that reason."

"However, starting a company and building a laboratory are matters for later."

N4 raised her hand, and spores in the air immediately assembled into a biological computer, which she operated through neural control, displaying various data and images:

"Although it's my first time entering the universe, I have some understanding of the pathway to ascension. Initially, I planned to silently break through to Kappa (10) on Dragon Satellite and then head directly to Zhou Yuan to explore and research in the Void Territory."

"But I quickly gathered information, and doing so would mean giving up the blessing of the Boundary Abyss—the curse and blessing coexist in the Starry Abyss, and theoretically, diving straight to the bottom layer of the Primordial Abyss is the most cost-effective."

"Theoretically," Li Aozi emphasized, "the reality is that once you dive, you have to come back."

"The reason is simple... Originally, in the Layer Abyss, as an Iota (9), you had enough connections and power. But in the Boundary Abyss, a Kappa is just at the level of a mortal. Falling from the heights of the elite to an ordinary person, the gap is too wide. It's better to come back as top-tier combat power, slowly accumulate experience, the competition is also easier."

N4 said calmly:

"After all, living is for one's development and survival, if you can easily gain privileges and relax in a Narrative Civilization, why dive into the Starry Abyss and compete?"

"To become a god."

Li Aozi replied lightly:

"To me, becoming a god is just the basic requirement. My goal is to eliminate Earth's bandit gangs, eradicate Society, and rule the Starry Abyss—there should be many with similar goals."

"My desire is simple too," N4 said: "When you descend, take me with you."

"Do you also desire ascension?"

"Like you, that's not my ultimate goal," N4 said casually, "My goal is one of the three Destroyers, the Eye of Discernment—if I can find it, all knowledge and rationality will belong to me."

"That doesn't conflict with my goal."

Li Aozi tossed a communicator to N4:

"The extent of the Boundary Abyss is vast, and without forming a team, it's almost impossible to proceed with the world's laws and lower logic. I indeed need you—and several other teammates."

N4 raised her hand, a vortex of Life Origin Force swallowing the communicator.

"Looks like you're not foolish after all, already planning your descent—so, who are you considering bringing?"

"When the Descenders depart, at least three million will go together—aside from those Little Piggies. High-end, elite, strong individuals, among these, one Destroyer, one Redemption, at least one Architect from Fine Artistry, more would be better, the Boundary Abyss needs Spellcasters quite a bit."

Li Aozi raised his hand, and a line of text formed from the Weak Force:

"No need to bring anyone on the Raiding pathway, Gambler is also useless to me, as for the Sovereign pathway, having just me is enough, the Mysterious pathway though..."

"You seem to dislike the Mysterious pathway?"

"Sort of."

Li Aozi recalled the Primeval Heavenly Sovereign.

——Who knows where that guy is in the Starry Abyss, carrying a strong individual from the Mysterious pathway, what if they secretly worship the Heavenly Sovereign behind my back, just thinking about it is troublesome.

"Hmm, this configuration is quite rough."

N4 rested her chin on her hand:

"Forget it, team composition is your concern, but more importantly, I need to remind you of something more important."

"More important? What is it?"

"Your wife is pregnant."

"Where did I get a wife?"

Li Aozi was taken aback, then realized what she meant:

"Are you talking about Merid—you must be joking! I'm not even the same species as Zhi Xiang!"

"It's true," N4 displayed a form: "The full set of test results, regardless of which equipment was used to test, all available technology from the Narrative Civilization was applied, and the results are clear—do you understand with your one-year master's degree?"

"No need to belittle me, are you a sapiosexual or something?"

Li Aozi muttered, reading the data test results in his hand carefully:

"The number of gestating entities exceeds 23.33 billion... an estimated 14.8 million newborns could survive."

Li Aozi fell silent.

"Hmm, this result is indeed quite overwhelming, given that suddenly having the offspring of a civilization..."

N4 consoled.

"Why can only 1,480 of them survive?"

Li Aozi asked.

"Because the environment of the mother body means these children can only cannibalize each other to replenish energy, much like female sand tiger sharks, whose offspring will devour one another during the embryo stage, growing rapidly so that once born they are 1.2 meters long, effectively fending off wildlife attacks."

N4 paused after speaking, realizing something was off, looking at Li Aozi, who seemed indifferent, not like someone lying.

She had to ask:

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Should I act surprised to accommodate you?—Wow, amazing, incredible, I'm going to be a father—like that?"

"That's a Primordial Species, where even the concepts of death and life don't exist, and yet you managed to get her pregnant? And with 1,480 million lives in one go? That's more unbelievable than getting a stone pregnant."

N4 was incredulous:

"Even knowing this, I felt deeply shocked... Li Aozi, isn't your reaction a bit too calm? You're only concerned about the survival rate of these children!"

"I'm genuinely not surprised... to be honest, I've had a vague feeling this day would come."

Li Aozi frowned, beginning to think deeply.

It wasn't long before he uttered two words:

"Bloodline."
