Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Instead, there's no point in hiding any further.

Hiding, disguising, and concealing are all the actions of fragile creatures.

But now, he is already invincible in the current environment.

[Boundless Celestial Honor], the final transfer of the Pure Dragon Faction Martial Artist, and he is the first player to become this Martial Artist.

Throughout his growth, no one else has achieved such pure mastery of the Dragon Faction like him.

As long as he can smoothly enter the Mass Abyss and be promoted to the Sigma Order, securing a suitable Godhood, he can become a True God.

The rest is just a matter of steadily advancing and expanding his influence and followers.

In other words, although he is not even a Demigod yet, in terms of qualifications, he is closer to becoming a True God than a Demigod.

"Li Aozi..."

Long Yuqiong's expression was complex.

He still remembered, not long ago, Lai Anding casually mentioned to him: to eliminate Li Aozi and reduce his impact on the players.

But now, Li Aozi is the player.

His presence was unnoticed even by Lai Anding.

Long Yuqiong fell into confusion. But others also had their doubts.

"Not only that. Li Aozi disappeared shortly after entering Border Abyss, while you almost simultaneously reached out to Caramel Snail, and even submerged into Starry Abyss ahead of schedule."

Night Fighting Sword also spoke:

"Honestly, you actually know the true inside story of this game, don't you?"

"Truly General, no, Li Aozi, ah, I can't distinguish anymore between two entirely different guys, I really can't tell them apart, never mind, from now on I'll just call you Li Aozi."

Pointing at Li Aozi's main body meditating quietly on the altar nearby, he asked:

"That child next to you, what's your relationship with him?"

"Oh, that." Li Aozi said casually, "That's my main account."

"You can still open a main account? With this level of proficiency, such a vast Border Abyss map, you're able to sustain two accounts?"

Night Fighting Sword was stunned.

"No, what he means is." Yutianxiao said, "That child is the real Li Aozi, and the Truly General we've been interacting with for battles is actually the secondary account."

"...Unbelievable."

Long Yuqiong glances at the three of them.

As Professional Brothers, their levels have always been at the forefront.

But Li Aozi's secondary account astonishingly surpasses them by four entire ranks, reaching Level 280!

At this moment, they felt endless injustice and indignation.

This is partly due to Lai Anding's exploitation, but even without that factor?

To put it bluntly, even without Lai Anding, Li Aozi's growth speed would still allow him to sustain two accounts that crush them.

Does their effort mean nothing? Has their leveling gone to the dogs?

It's already embarrassing enough.

"So, what about you?"

Li Aozi looked at Yutianxiao.

As the team's Mage, Yutianxiao was older and more mature, always considering issues carefully.

He was curious what kind of questions he would pose.

"I do have questions."

Yutianxiao spoke, staring at Li Aozi, clearly asking:

"Mr. Leoz, do you truly exist in reality? Or are you just a native of Starry Abyss?"

He seemed to have asked the key question.

"I don't have a physical body in reality."

Li Aozi smiled slightly, saying:

"I am neither."

"Then, what kind of being are you? Do you stand on the side of Starry Abyss, or on the player's side in the real world?"

Yutianxiao pressed on, asking one sharp question after another:

"What exactly do you want, what was the purpose of your previous goodwill towards 'Star Abyss' players? After hiding for so long, why suddenly reveal your heart to us? After disclosing the truth, will you still be the mentor Li Aozi we knew, or our Truly General, or do you plan to completely oppose the players?"

Night Fighting Sword and Long Yuqiong almost held their breath.

Unlike before, now they can't arbitrarily log in and out. If they truly angered Li Aozi, he could easily kill them repeatedly at their corpses until their accounts are erased.

On the other hand, these questions were indeed crucial.

How should they view Truly General— or rather, Li Aozi in the future?

"Due to the existence of the Cognition Filter, there are certain things you can't comprehend, but I think Long Yuqiong should understand a lot of insider information."

Li Aozi did not give a direct answer but looked at Long Yuqiong:

"One thing is certain, though our paths differ, I am the same as you."

"We all come from the Star Abyss."

Upon these words, the three exchanged glances, passing mutual shock through their eyes.

"Could it be we're all Starry Abyss People?" Night Fighting Sword muttered.

"So there was never any game, this is just a colonization war..." Yutianxiao whispered.

"You," Long Yuqiong looked at Li Aozi in shock, "How do you know these things?"

"Long Yuqiong, you surely knew all along! 'Star Abyss' is not a game, we are invading another world!" Yutianxiao shouted, "The big names in reality pay so much attention to this game, it must be because of these reasons! To plunder other worlds, seize others' resources!"

"The situation is more complicated than that, it's not like that, you still don't understand."

Long Yuqiong took a deep breath, saying:

"We're not colonizing, it's just that Star Abyss cannot leave us, we need to protect the Six-Layered Starry Abyss layer by layer."

"He's right."

Li Aozi said:

"You also don't need to worry, everyone is a citizen of Star Abyss, there are no taboos, the Cognition Filter hasn't been triggered—as expected, I think it's because of the pressure on the operation team being too great after Lai Anding left, without the previous level of control."

"I am not on the side of Star Abyss, nor am I on reality's side, at this point I've already gathered the capital to form an independent force. You should have noticed too, if Lai Anding continues to wield power in the court, holding the life and death of all players, we will have no Freedom to speak of."

To circumvent the sensitive word screening by the Cognition Filter, Li Aozi changed his phrasing:

"Before discussing who I am, I want to ask you a question."

"The time and effort invested for equipment that the operators can simply delete with a click to waste your blood and sweat, while privileged players like Land Loyd exploit their connection with Lai Anding to constantly grab your resources."

"Exploited, enslaved, freely used as cannon fodder, laboring without reward or peace, are you willing to live like this?"

"This game is supposed to belong to the players and Starry Abyss residents, developers and operators need the players, not the players needing them."

"Back to who I am."

"My name is Li Aozi, like you all, I hail from Star Abyss, we are all kith and kin, Star Abyss is my home, the reality world is also mine— we all originate from Star Abyss."

"As for what my purpose is?"

"Simple really, I just want to take back what's mine."

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

Li Aozi's speech was indeed too shocking for the trio, despite his phrasing being as mild as possible, it still had a tremendous impact.

"Then, how should we view you now?"

Night Fighting Sword was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking:

"If you want to take revenge on reality and Lai Anding, we might end up as enemies. After all, the real world is our home."

"This doesn't equate to war, you can ask Long Yuqiong. I am still someone of Star Abyss and naturally wouldn't harm my own home."

"But you're not someone of the real world." Yutianxiao questioned: "Star Abyss is our homeland, but our homeland doesn't encompass all of Star Abyss."

Li Aozi responded calmly:

"There is one thing you can be assured of, I will not destroy this world."

"I have another question."

Long Yuqiong asked:

"Why are you unaffected by the Cognition Filter?"

"I don't know either, perhaps because I've never appeared in the real world, thus lacking that opportunity."

"Wait, what do you mean by this?"

Night Fighting Sword asked in surprise:

"Is there also a Cognition Filter in reality?"
