Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Compared to the enchanting witch in the village, the existence of this mysterious visitor is purely beautiful, stunningly beautiful, to the point that it doesn't provoke any evil thoughts, nor does it feel awkward or ridiculous in the slightest.

All one wished was to become the floor beneath his feet, to somewhat share his burdens, even if it was just to step over.

Li Aozi said nothing; he merely arrived here, spreading his hands, needing to do nothing more.

His powerful Charm, like a pink nuclear bomb, exploded at the center, with potent radiation piercing through the hearts of any resolute person, penetrating their most vulnerable parts, conquering, capturing, and subduing them.

Charm is never a combat Attribute, but in humanity, society, resource mobilization, and information acquisition, it is not inferior to any attribute.

History has proven countless times that a leader with formidable personal charisma can sometimes be more useful than a technically skilled, powerful bureaucrat or general.

Even without passive stacking, Li Aozi's [Charm] is extraordinarily high for these ordinary beings, and with the title of [Mother of Salvation], there is no need to say more about Li Aozi's external image.

When emotional impacts occupy the high ground of thought, rationality instead becomes a tool to convince oneself.

His form, though beyond human imagination, largely retains a humanoid structure, coupled with the visible Sanctity and compassionate aura that make it hard not to think of the noble heroes and knights in myths.

'What a perfectly noble gentleman he is!'

People even forgot that they were captured by armed forces.

Every indigenous person unconsciously lowered their guard, offering unconditional trust to Li Aozi at just a glance.

The neighboring Magician activated a mind Spell to probe the thoughts of the indigenous people who had opened their Mental Defense Lines, while various instruments moved at high speed, starting to check everyone's physiological and psychological conditions.

Thanks to the addition of Ms. N4, the biological detection equipment on Li Aozi's side underwent a full upgrade, accommodating all aspects even in the spaceship's environment.

"I originally wanted to do a control group experiment." N4 sent a message to Li Aozi: "Everyone's genetic situation is different, and they're subjected to different environments. Though initial sampling was conducted, fully executing it is an extremely vast project..."

"No problem, this doesn't have to be rushed."

Li Aozi was unfazed.

Involving Sequential Arcane Energy, it's worth taking extra time.

Incidentally, he contacted Dialan, asking her to notify Nephis to be ready, as she would be needed for the upcoming tasks.

"Let's start with these indigenous people."

Li Aozi surveyed around, observing over 300 Other Dimension indigenous people caught by the Slave Catcher Squad. These were not two-dimensional beings but genuinely humans from the Other Dimension.

In a sense, Earthlings are a similar existence, but Earth's cosmic strength is evidently more powerful than these from the Other Dimension, likely on par with the Starry Abyss.

Towards these humans with different material compositions, Li Aozi did not have such a strong empathetic ability to connect with them.

Moreover, this experiment bore no conceptual danger.

— Probably.

"The Life Commune's initial research on Sequential Arcane Energy failed, leading to the creation of some outrageous monsters, numerous deaths, and the ultimate collapse of faith among internal scholars and scientists, resulting in its complete dissolution."

Back then, the Life Commune was researching Sequential Arcane Energy but ended up uncovering the truth about the Narrative Civilization: the Inherent Time Domain was exchanging the land and Life of the Starry Abyss for its prosperity and continuation.

To form an Inherent Time Domain, a sacrifice of land and Life is required.

Though the principle is unknown... but due to Li Aozi's good relationship with Mr. Liue and after several exchanges, he clearly understood the practical knowledge of the Life Commune.

"The research involving sequences is essentially no different from researching the Starry Abyss; we are meddling with the cakes of the Deities."

— Liue had once told him.

Even as an Arcane Dominator, he remained very cautious.

With the elders' lessons in mind, and even knowing that the Arcane Energy of [Bloodline] posed no significant harm, Li Aozi prudently made isolation measures: the experimental ship was stationed near the Dark Star Domain, and Li Aozi remained vigilant throughout, solidifying two spatial rifts with the help of several Mages.

This way, should any accident occur, or if something terrifying like the previous Life Commune's [55-Pandora 'Calamity God Event'] happened, Li Aozi could promptly evacuate people; the experimental ship's warp engine would immediately activate, sending them into the Dark Star Domain.

After repeatedly instructing and inspecting, confirming everything was complete, N4 gave the command:

"Begin the first experiment."

As Li Aozi gently raised his index finger, signaling for silence, the indigenous people began to listen to his words:

"Do not fear my presence; my name is Gretto Yegg, a Demigod climbing the path of Redemption."

He lifted his hand, and his fingertip naturally broke open, releasing some fresh blood, forming a sphere bound by Gravity:

"My Life is nearing its end, and as a Demigod, I need an outstanding hero to bear my Bloodline and inherit my mantle."

His tone was deep and gentle, much like a kind old grandmother. From the appearance, the porcelain-skinned [Lunar String Archbishop]'s body was pure and elegant, and even not exhibiting his power, his claim of being a Demigod was undisputed.

"A Demigod? And he wants to pass his Bloodline to us?"

"Oh my god, are there really Deities in this world?"

"I thought I'd live my life completing Goblin tasks until death... Am I dreaming?"

The indigenous people were astounded, and nobody questioned Li Aozi's words; their attention almost entirely focused on Li Aozi's appearance and temperament. Regardless of age or gender, instincts drove them to gaze upon Li Aozi and even prompted many to kneel en masse.

"Hail Demigod!"

"Your greatness is unquestioned, already witnessed by us."

"Your Excellency Gretto, I am remorseful for my past words and actions venerating False God's; please allow me to convert to your order!"

The people were frantically entranced in admiring and venerating the existence of Li Aozi, kneeling down and performing grand obeisance.

In reality, Li Aozi's statement was not quite a lie.

For those who aren't even at Alpha Stage (1), their capability against the Azure Star Outer World was questionable, with the Mingji Professor being considered a Superhuman to them.

For them, Li Aozi at Iota Rank (9)?

That was far beyond an ordinary Demigod, at the Creator God's level.

With his Charm, so powerful it caused Distortion, if Li Aozi hadn't held back, not revealing a humanoid form, their minds and rationality would have been nearly shattered.

Li Aozi was also well aware that if he were displeased, just one word would have these Mortals immediately pleasing him by happily committing suicide.

[Speaking of which, I've realized for far too long the disparity between myself and Mortals...]

Li Aozi shook his head.

Perhaps due to prolonged Contact with Merid, or because he himself has also become a Longevity Breed, his thoughts veered towards that of a Longevity Breed, even his sense of time had begun to change. Within that moment, his mind was consistently wandering.

"...Being chosen by a Demigod is a form of Luck for you — but if possible, I also wouldn't wish to extend this everlasting power. This power has unpredictable outcomes, it can elevate your Bloodline to Supreme status, but may also lead to unforeseen dangers; therefore, regardless, I bestow upon you the right of autonomous choice..."

After delivering words he himself didn't believe, Li Aozi observed that these Mortals had already listened in an enraptured state.

Some young men were already eager to give it a try, not caring about unknown risks at all, their faces bearing the words 'Your Excellency, please issue the command',

At that moment, Li Aozi realized that he might never return to a mortal state of mind.

"Forget it."

Li Aozi snapped his fingers:

"Absorb it yourself."
