Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1299 - 276: Void Route: Toward the [White Wolf] Ending (1)_3

Li Aozi carefully laid Land Loyd's head to rest, golden divine blood dripping down:

"Those willing to follow me, to march into the Void, shall use the blood of Lai Anding's offspring to inscribe a marking upon their bodies."

"Lai Anding will thus lock on to our traces, sending forces to hunt us down—but this is also our opportunity to weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves."

"Secret blood can pierce through the Lai Anding Protocol, allowing no resurrection once we die in Zhou Yuan. This is no longer a mere game; each has only one life. This is war—a battle against the world to save it, and entering the conflict to defy the world."

"Should we fail to break Twilight Duke, let us accept death in foreign lands."

"Who among you will accompany me to the Abyss?"

Silence.

The Spiritual Warriors fell into a deathly quiet, neither whispering nor consulting amongst themselves, as if hearing nothing.

Silence.

Beneath the ice layers, lava surged relentlessly, a blazing and potent determination subtly growing, amassing even greater power. The collision of intense heat and absolute cold sculpted human will into steel.

Divine Clan Warriors are not skilled in speech, especially those among them who were slave labor and cannon fodder deities, who, upon awakening, joined the True Martial Party and seldom conversed, merely stepping forward one by one to place their hands beneath Land Loyd's head.

Drip, drip...

Golden divine blood fell upon porcelain skin, instantly blossoming into radiant golden threads deeply etched in their skin.

Atreya Nightwind smeared divine blood on themselves, Elevent drew divine blood across their neck, then turned, seeing Oshen still standing in place.

"Are you not joining us, Oshen?" Atreya asked.

Oshen was still in conflict, murmuring in response to the inquiry:

"This act of regicide belongs only to heretics and evil gods..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Do you not understand, Oshen, both Lai Anding and Li Aozi have disgraced you as they would an evil god. Ultimately, your destiny lies outside your control."

Elevent presented the head to Oshen:

"Oshen, your life has been spent in service and loyalty to the rulers of the old order. They never fear your betrayal for simply labeling you 'evil god' would seal your fate—this is your only chance to change your own destiny, overthrow the ancient rulers, and claim back your fate."

"Yet, this deviates from our initial desire and ignites war in the Starry Abyss, branding us as eternal infamy, damned as evil gods..."

"Only losers are deemed infamy and evil gods."

Elevent gazed deeply at them, saying:

"Victory shall crown us as new creators."

"How long will you remain shackled by fate, burdened by power yet afraid to defend yourself."

"We are not evil gods. Those oppressing the Starry Abyss people while aiding Earth's invaders, retaliating above us with arrogance, those are the true oppressors!"

Oshen suddenly noticed their hand grasped by Elevent.

They did not favor being touched by others.

Compared to the Artistic Spirit Race's Elevent, their physique was excessively robust, capable of easily toppling Elevent with a mere shove.

But, Oshen did not resist further. Seemingly allowing, or possibly volunteering, their hand beneath Land Loyd's head.

Drip, drip...

"Join us... join this sacred resistance!"

Golden markings formed beneath the skin.

Oshen lifted their head, gazing around at compatriots and comrades, traces of marking etched upon each Descender.

They turned, facing Li Aozi.

Thud!

Oshen knelt on one knee, drawing a sword from their waist, holding it aloft toward Li Aozi:

"Under Endless Starry Abyss, I swear an everlasting oath to time and faith: I, [God of Deep Water and Sea Beasts] Oshen, declare allegiance to the Supreme Patriarch, Ruler of Reality, [God of the Present World], Lord of Haines, [Will of the Dominator] Executer—Leoz."

"I am your light against the long night, your wall against eternal winter. I vowed to defend your honor to death; any harm to it wounds me. My loyalty to you shall never fade, even if submerged in Nether Abyss Water for millennia."

"My Chief God, Leoz Your Excellency, long live! Glory to the Source Starry Abyss! From the Endless Starry Abyss, creations shall serve you as the Supreme Chief God."

"Lead us into the Submergence Starry Abyss!"
