Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1248 - 250: Empire Line – The Road to the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (45)

His lips moved slightly, and he lowered his head, saying:

"Morphederia has been devoured, my homeland Haines has been destroyed, my sisters and brothers, comrades-in-arms, have all been brutally killed by Society. Even in death, they find no peace. Instead, they are fished out from the Nether River by Lai Anding, deceived again, and sent to the front lines like cannon fodder."

"I used to despise the actions of usurpers because I could not believe that a cannon fodder deity could lead us."

"But now, we ourselves have become cannon fodder deities. Too many have already perished, and as long as the 'From Star Abyss' plan continues, more players will be deceived into joining this unjust war."

"The essence of the 'From Star Abyss' plan is colonization. It is a soft control aimed at fragmenting the Six Great Abysses. For this purpose, the group led by Lai Anding continually makes appeasement concessions to invaders like the Secret Society."

"I finally understand what it's like to be used as cannon fodder and a bargaining chip."

"Li Aozi, your words and your attire are full of Earth's cultural imprints. So you should understand what I mean."

Oshen walked up to Lord Leoz, and in the next moment, with a 'thud,' he knelt down on both knees. Resting his hands on his knees, his eyes reddened, he roared:

"Lord Leoz! If this continues, both the Primordial Abyss and the Five Layers of Starry Abyss, all living beings will suffer misfortune! We will all become cannon fodder in the secret dealings between Lai Anding and Gaia!"

"Oshen!", "What the hell are you doing, get up!"

An extremely senior Spiritual Warrior was kneeling to a former usurper tyrant.

Even for those determined to revolt, this scene was quite shocking.

"Lord Leoz..."

Oshen bit his lip and said in a sombre voice:

"Now, we are all cannon fodder, equally oppressed by Lai Anding under the order of the Primordial Abyss narrative."

"Once it was cannon fodder deities like you, now it's us, and in the future, it will be all the people!"

"I could have quietly ignored it or even joined the ranks of the oppressive rulers—but what if I am next?"

"Many in this world, when faced with disaster and injustice, choose to remain silent to protect themselves. Even if someone sits on their necks, they laugh it off because they have no strength."

"Improving from within is unrealistic for the decay and backwardness of the Primordial Abyss. Our narrative is flawed at its root, even less progressive than imperialism."

"Leoz, you're well aware, aren't you? Even if you make great contributions, the Starry Abyss won't reward you."

"The name was given by Reylette, the weapon was a gift from Reylette, the strength was seized from various places, the knowledge accumulated from practice and failure, and the comrades saved from war, as for status..."

His lips trembled, Oshen gritted his teeth and finally admitted:

"People... raised you to the divine throne with their own hands."

"Lord Leoz, no."

"Your Excellency Leoz."

"Even if you cannot forgive the Primordial God Clan, cannot forgive us for our past exploitation and plundering of you, at least for the innocent lives in the Six Abysses and Thirteen Narratives, the common people, please cooperate with us to overthrow Lai Anding's tyranny and completely terminate the 'From Star Abyss' plan!"

He lowered his head, closed his eyes, his face was purple-red, his forehead covered in sweat.

To speak such words to a former enemy, opponent, and in his eyes, a tyrant, was almost to trample Oshen's dignity to dust underfoot.

But...he knew very well.

Actually, everyone was very clear.

Leoz, is already the most trustworthy ally of the Primordial God Clan.

"Only by cooperating with Your Excellency Leoz can we change this corrupt order."

Yutianxiao—Elevent said, kneeling as well, placing his hands on his thighs, speaking in a deep voice:

"We could choose to cooperate with the invaders—but if revolution requires the help of foreign enemies, how are we different from selling out our country and people?"

"In the past, we failed you, Your Excellency Leoz."

Night Fighting Sword—Atreya Nightwind, the most unruly Divine Clan Warrior, also knelt down, respectfully saying:

"Now, we need you, and will need you in the future. It's not for us, nor for the survival of the Primordial God Clan."

"For all living beings, we implore Your Excellency Leoz to cooperate with us, partake in the revolution, violently overthrow Lai Anding's regime, reconsider the relations of the Six Great Abysses, only then can true peace of Starry Abyss be achieved."

The three warriors, once loyally serving the Primordial Abyss, said in unison: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"For all living beings!"

Li Aozi did not look at the three men and said nothing. He just flipped through information, propped his cheek with one hand, got up, and paced, pondering.

In the Border Abyss, there is no sunset, only the Sun Tree Crown closing slowly.

The alternation of light and dark, opening and closing, birds flying for their morning foray, beasts dormant by day and active by night.

Time ticked away one second at a time, as Li Aozi pondered his strategy.

It was uncertain how long had passed, but the three Spiritual Warriors remained kneeling.

They owed him.

What the Primordial Abyss owed to Leoz was far more than this one kneeling.

......

One week later.

"Rise, even if you kneel until the end of time, I cannot forgive the Primordial Abyss."

Li Aozi put down the last piece of intelligence, looked at the three kneeling men, and said.

The three did not move an inch.

"But you three are not the culprits, Oshen, even demoted to an Evil God, did not turn to Society."

Li Aozi stood upright and said calmly:

"Kneeling to a sovereign is the behavior of a servant. If you want to overthrow Lai Anding's dominion, then show the demeanor of a master."

"Now, rise."

The three still remained kneeling.

Li Aozi tilted his head, stepped forward, and shook Night Fighting Sword's shoulder, who pushed him reflexively, saying:

"Don't bother me, my three-star five-cost solo play is about to win! This round is crucial!"

Li Aozi was taken aback, then shook Yutianxiao, who, with a flash of green light in his eyes, muttered:

"Why isn't this stock rising, it's unreasonable..."

[Ha ha, now I get how you could kneel for a week, you're all playing mini-games.]

Li Aozi chuckled, kicking Long Yuqiong with his foot.

Bang!

Long Yuqiong's body swayed, but he had long since fainted.

Li Aozi's expression changed, scratching his head:

"Wow, you're serious, sorry."

[Sunset Priest]

He snapped his fingers, his figure shrank, fiery red hair dragged to the ground, instantly transforming into a stunning young girl, softly touching Long Yuqiong's head, casting a healing spell.

"Uh... had I knelt too long? I seemed to have fainted."

Long Yuqiong sat up groggily, opening his eyes, only to see two pristine jade feet.

"Um?"
