Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1297 - 276: Void Route: Toward the [White Wolf] Ending (Part 1)

[...That is your ending.]

[If you do nothing, both Starry Abyss and Earth will find their own way, and the Primordial Species will continually push the world towards revolution. Destroyers will no longer be enemies but partners striving together for a beautiful utopia.]

[Although you won't be that happy, this is already a relatively peaceful approach.]

[Do beauty and fairness really exist? Anyone with self-awareness should understand this: struggle is merely for better compromise, revolution is just to avert complete extinction; there is never truly pure beauty or absolute justice in balance in this world.]

[I have done my utmost to meet your needs, but since you have given up this path of peace and tranquility... as a game developer, I can only continue creating the game until the players reach the conclusion.]

[I have always tried to minimize casualties as much as possible, to avoid those sufferings; you also understand that we Earthlings are not all as cruel and bloodthirsty as Brits; there are many among us who yearn for peace and development.]

[I hope to do my best to prevent the arrival of war and extinction; suffering should no longer appear in these two worlds, only poverty and backwardness are the true enemies of civilization...]

[But perhaps this is not what you hope for, Mr. Leoz, what exactly do you long for, I can no longer see through.]

[The Spiritual Deer is dead, only the howl of the wolf is heard.]

[—'Plyer' has removed you from the communication list—]

.........

"Merid, will the new world be the same as the old?"

"No, it won't."

"At worst, we can start over!"

"Relentlessly destroying the old world, then building it up again, time after time."

"We are the Longevity Breed, we are the great Breeders, we are the Spiritual Deer in the forest. We are compassionate, we follow the laws of nature, we nurture life, we remain detached."

"If once doesn't work, then try again; if twice doesn't work, then three, four, five times!"

"Until complete victory is achieved, until the double-helix tragedy of Starry Abyss and Earth ceases to exist, until the world Li Aozi yearns for truly comes into being."

............

Memories and images pass by like flowing water.

The ending of the [Spiritual Deer] is broadcasted, if compromise is chosen, then this is one's outcome.

Is it considered bad?

In this ending, one has already stepped into the ranks of the half-Primordial Species, his wealth is inexhaustible, his life is endless; even as the world repeatedly faces apocalypse and reshuffling, he has only to watch coldly from the sidelines.

This obviously has nothing to do with 'bad'.

So, is it considered good?

Li Aozi is also unable to use 'good' for assessment.

In the repeated process of reshuffling, the Primordial Species proudly dominates the fate of all things, if one time is not suitable, then they call upon the Destroyer to overturn everything and start afresh.

Perhaps it will be achieved one day.

Hundreds of billions of years nurturing the universe, billions of years nurturing life, tens of millions of years birthing civilization, hundreds of thousands of years traversing the starry rivers, tens of thousands of years reaching godhood, thousands of years forging narrative.

But to overthrow and restart only takes a few breaths.

Through the twists and turns of time, the leaden luster of worldly affairs, the traces left by ordinary things and civilization are erased in rounds of reshuffling.

Without the history of the past, even if the so-called ideal world society is realized in the future, what connection does it have with the present?

This is not a revolution that inherits the afterglow of the past dynasty, but a cruel indifference of reformatting.

Even if one day, the ideal world is constructed, what connection does it have with the present us?

Farmers plant crops for food and clothing, workers labor for wages, soldiers kill the enemy to protect home and country, bureaucrats rule for promotion and power, and emperors expand territories for hegemony disputes.

Fame and fortune.

Things that sound unbearably vulgar, yet they form the foundation of the real world.

I am who I am because all past experiences have shaped me, not by repeatedly denying myself, denying my past, denying my origin.

I can light a fire to burn myself to death, but after death, I must be reborn from this heap of ashes.

Otherwise, what relevance does the so-called ideal world have to me?

"Severston, did you just see that future?"

Li Aozi raised his head, staring straight at the bright light on the ceiling. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The light pierced through his hair and into his iris, his pupils instantly contracted into a tiny dot.

"I see nothing."

Severston whispered:

"That is your future, Leoz, only you, and only you can see it."

Li Aozi held his breath, concentrating.

—Why have I come this far?

Focused attention.

—For fame and fortune?

He reached out his hand, toward that bright light.

—For fairness?

There was only pure light left in his eyes.

—No.

"...I must personally dominate, personally create, personally lead people toward a truly ideal world."

Li Aozi slowly lowered his head, standing in front of Severston

"I have not arrived here because of what Starry Abyss owes me, nor do I seek the brevity or length of time, I am not that selfish."

"Nor have I come this far for the masses, for returning clarity to the world, for worldly peace, after all, I am not such a noble person."

"Severston, I am human."

"Stripped of all traits, I realized this point."

"Not a human in the racial sense, not a humanoid in body shape, not humanity in soul, not a natural person in law, nor any abstract concept."

"I just realized, I exist in this world, within this society, as an individual human, as a unit of 'person'."
