Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1293 - 275: Empire Line: Toward the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (69)

"He renamed himself Sinful Bone, signifying that he bears the sin-laden body, abstains from meat, devotes himself to ascetic cultivation, and remembers past crimes. He works hard and contributes half the credit for building this First Sequence Town."

He looked at Li Aozi and said:

"Lord Leoz, do you still think that those high above Chief Gods are the ones causing you injustice?"

Li Aozi did not answer.

He looked at Land Loyd— or rather, Sinful Bone, enduring pain with calmness, refusing to groan and complain, instead bearing insights with a focused mind.

What should he say?

Severston spoke quite clearly and nakedly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He was telling Li Aozi a most basic truth:

In the Six-Layered Starry Abyss, from the Chief Gods above to the ants below, none is wrong, a sinner, or an evildoer.

The ones causing injustice are also victims of the system; if they choose to fulfill fairness, it is unfair to their own class.

Justice, fairness.

If the Starry Abyss truly had justice and fairness, why is the Starry Abyss divided into six layers, where the further down you go, the more powerful and higher the status? Why do the Divine Clan of the Primordial Abyss not produce anything and can still enjoy peace, plenty, and comfort?

Hierarchy, level.

If the game truly had equality, why are higher levels stronger in power? Why are those early players easily beaten by genius professional brothers?

Li Aozi understood.

—Because this endless Starry Abyss never had the concept of fairness and justice.

The Starry Abyss had nothing, in the beginning, chaos was unopened, everything stagnant, eternal and unchanged.

The Dragon King brought light, life, desire.

The Titan brought darkness, death, wildness.

The Magic Eye brought craft, science, rationality.

Among what the Destroyers brought, there was no justice and fairness, no morality and righteousness.

These things, the Starry Abyss does not have, nor do the Destroyers; if wanted, they must be created by oneself.

"Executor Lord Leoz, now, it's my turn to ask you."

Severston's voice pulled Li Aozi back to reality, as he looked at Li Aozi and solemnly asked:

"As an Executor of the Starry Abyss, you are directly responsible to me, a current Chief God, but I do not have the authority to interfere with your decisions. Therefore, whatever resolution you make, I will only agree and approve."

"Even so, out of formality, I must ask you: How do you decide to deal with Lai Anding's son, the deity formerly called Land Loyd, now named 'Sinful Bone'? This action will directly impact the future destiny of the Starry Abyss; my Chief God's intuition tells you: Once made, there will be no turning back."

"So, how will you handle 'Sinful Bone'?"

......

Oshen dared not speak.

He looked at Li Aozi, hoping he would make the decision he wanted.

Especially after Severston said these things, Li Aozi should believe in his plan even more.

However, just when Oshen thought Li Aozi was pondering silently, Li Aozi was looking at the information popping up before him.

This situation, he had never heard of, but from the red and black Ersha on the information's border, it could be seen that this was the result of Lord Entropy's power meddling.

The information came simultaneously from both the [Task] and [Fate] systems.

[The current game experience ends, you can continue as an NPC, permanently serving as an Electronic Immigrant in the "Starry Abyss," ultimately integrating into the Starry Abyss Cosmos.]

[Due to your unlocking of the [Fate] system, the hidden mode: Ending Appreciation has been unlocked.]

[Ending Appreciation: There are many subsequent plot contents, you can also enjoy stage endings' CGs (cutscenes) in this interface in advance, then continue to explore the plot, and make choices again upon reaching the next ending stage.]

[Time Limit]: No Time Limit

[Mission Difficulty]: No Difficulty

[Introduction]:

"Honorable Lord Li Aozi, I am [Player] Plyer, the designer of the 'Starry Abyss.' Now that you have reached this far, you have already discovered the secrets within Land Loyd, my every concealment has ultimately failed."

"I have been trying to help the Starry Abyss people avoid Earth's invasion. Initially, I chose Lai Anding as a partner, thinking she would be more compassionate and loving as a mother, but I was wrong. There is no compassion in the Starry Abyss; everyone is a power seeker and schemer. Including you, once immersed in the Starry Abyss for long, you, I, too, will become part of the oppressors."

"Regrettably, I tell you, you are not special. Even if you don't take action, I intended to make Land Loyd disappear. However, coincidentally, you emerged, and you happened to uncover the [Fate] system... what should I do? Just waiting for another player to dig out [Fate], who knows how many years that will take? So I had no choice but to choose you."

"I will be honest, Lord Li Aozi, I want to make a deal with you."

"I am not Lord Entropy, but I have borrowed a part of its power through the server. Now, you have two paths to choose from:"

"1: Spare Land Loyd, and hereafter, I can ensure you live a safe, worry-free, happily fulfilling life, retiring from all involvement. Here I use Lord Entropy's capabilities to show you this scene."

"2: Firstly, I hope you don't choose this, foolish donkey, paradox, Miyazaki Low, Namco Hell, Big Soft, Frost Lion Leopard above, I'm willing to forgo 20 fewer AAA titles worldwide just to beg you not to do this."

"Secondly, if you insist, I can only continue the fate of this path to game development."

"I anticipated you might do this, but please, I beg you, don't; even if not for me, for the enslaved programmers conscripted by Lai Anding, for the war you may incite, don't do this."

"—From Producer [Player] Plyer."

[Settlement Conditions]:

Land Loyd was once a belligerent oppressor with an arrogant attitude, and the offspring of Lai Anding, now it's time to determine their fate.

A. "Song of Redemption": Spare Sinful Bone, handing him over— leading to "Empire Line, Spirit Deer Ending," ending the game, playing the ending CG and credits;

B. "Only Blood Can Pay": Kill Land Loyd— leading to "Void Line·White Wolf Ending," the game continues until the next settlement stage.

Remarks: In the next stage, you will still choose between different options in the "Giant Dragon" and "Demon" endings.
