Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1288 - 275: Empire Line: Toward the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (69)

If the Alliance hadn't dispatched the Nether Clan guards to fight in the urban warfare at the cost of human lives, Bai Chuliu himself would have been secretly captured.

The news reports of the battle shocked the civilians profoundly.

"What the hell! Is Secret really such a powerful enemy?"

"Good heavens, the Union of four Narrative Civilizations has turned the war into this mess, do independent civilizations and countries like us really have a way out?"

"Is it too late to learn English now? I'm not thinking of surrendering, I just want to broaden my horizons..."

"Aren't the Undead doing very well? You spineless lot! How can you raise enemy morale and diminish your own strength?"

"But the news says that our side suffered heavy losses... Oh, turns out Secret also suffered significantly."

"Tsk, studying journalism."

Scenes of such discussions and debates repeatedly play out in Strange Hotels across the continent.

Some people feel extremely pessimistic, Earth Civilization is like a Heavenly God descending to the world, the strongest Empire was annihilated in an instant. If the Narrative Union doesn't obliterate Secret the moment they take action, then this war is already lost.

Optimistic people, on the other hand, think that the brothers of Layer Abyss have already been engaged in a full-scale war with [Society] for decades, we are just a little late in joining this great war; sooner or later everyone will unite, justice will prevail, and the invaders will surely be driven away.

The Missionaries of Nihilism took the chance to spread a wave of nihilistic ideas, claiming that all wars are meaningless, there are no nations or countries in the world, everything is the lies of the carnivores. Whether the war is won or lost, Narrative and [Society] will continue to exist, and only the deceived puppets will die.

And then, they change their tone, only the Void can change all this; the Void is the only concept of absolute equality and balance, unlike other civilizations, the Void has no meaning, believing in the Void has no meaning either, but choosing the Void is a fated destiny. You may not believe in the Void, but only by abandoning everything and thoroughly embracing the Void can you escape the sea of suffering.

Because they don't circle funds, nor form gatherings and missionary activities on the surface, the ideology of the Void rapidly gained a large following among mortals when the war began.

Mortals are ignorant, simple, and pitiful; you make them hate each other with just a phrase 'he's richer than you.' The Void adeptly exploits such gaps, constantly utilizing internal contradictions, instigating their hatred towards all elites and wealthy groups, effortlessly gaining the public's support, and afterward, with just a few rituals and transformations, they can spontaneously convert them into Believers of the Void.

Yet some hate war, naturally, some love war.

When war comes, Great Liang Dynasty in the distant East beams with delight; as a vast empire, they received a constant stream of raw material orders from the Union, bought a large number of war bonds, and to reciprocate their allies and facilitate transportation, Narrative Civilization sent people to build factories and infrastructure for them.

Such things are not rare for many small countries; a war stimulates a technological revolution that has not been completed in hundreds of years.

However, even for a top power like the Overlord, they dare not stand rashly for the future direction of this 'green war.'

If it were in the past, Oshen and others wouldn't understand, clearly meant to protect Starry Abyss in the war, why can't everyone work together wholeheartedly?

But now, the members of the True Martial Party whose worldview has already shifted, all express understanding.

After all, many people fundamentally don't realize how terrifying the harm Hidden brings.

They still think it's just a petty scuffle with the Void; no, this is a true genocide and annihilation crisis.

Earthlings are the most adept at genocide.

Their ancestors, Homo Sapiens, exterminated all their fellow human beings; even entering the internet era, humans, called the smartest species, would joyfully annihilate their neighbors.

However, whatever's happening on the front lines has nothing to do with Li Aozi anymore.

Seeing the battle reports from the front lines, Oshen suddenly realized that the entire event was all within the planning of Your Excellency Leoz.

Oxiulia must be annihilated.

If it doesn't perish, then the Union won't personally enter the war.

If the Union doesn't enter the war, then Border Abyss will still stand aside, enjoying its peace.

It is precisely because of Oxiulia's demise that the people of Border Abyss felt the crisis, that they would start to understand the brutality and fearsome strength of Earthlings.

Only by knowing how terrifying Earthlings are would Border Abyss willingly confront Secret.

The Oxiulia Empire has one hundred million people.

And Border Abyss?

Although due to environmental issues, the population in Border Abyss does not compare to Layer Abyss, yet if you add together the scattered tribes, settlements, nations, civilizations, narratives—trillions are there.

Using one-thousandth of the cost to awaken the entire Border Abyss.

Is it worth it?

It's totally worth it.

If they don't awaken, then these trillion Boundary Abyss people will end up being sliced like sausages, consumed piece by piece.

But can Li Aozi say they don't feel the pain?

Li Aozi appears indifferent on the surface, but deep down still impatient.

It's not that he feels he's losing out.

Hell, none of those dying are from Narrative Civilization.

They were all nurtured by his own hand, swore allegiance to him; Li Aozi saying he doesn't feel pain is false.

He is dissatisfied with the Union's foolishness, conservatism, and tardiness. If they hadn't been so fixated on immediate interests and prepared earlier for a full-scale war with the Hidden, Oxiulia wouldn't have suffered so tragically.
