from Xingyuan

Chapter 1060: Divergence: Forgiveness, Redemption, Blood for Blood
【You have a new letter】

【Letter from: Qiqiao Network #00000——Prior Designer. 】

Dear Leozzi:
Dear Mr. Leoz, Your Majesty, I am glad to see you. Well, I would like to say a few polite words, but the situation is urgent now. Please allow me to show you the warm hospitality of the Polish nation.

I'll make it short.

I am [Player] Player, one of the secret senators, and also the chief game designer of "Xingyuan", the leader of the "Xingyuan" project team of Qiqiao Network, and the game server maintenance personnel.

I am now communicating with you through the most private channel. You can understand that this is my power as a secret councilor. I call it the [Appeal Channel] - In short, I think you should understand how serious the matter has become when I choose to get involved personally.

Let me be frank, Mr. Liozzi, I never thought that anyone would go this far, let alone that the person who would go this far would be you.

A cannon fodder god, your appearance has brought about major changes to the main storyline of the "From the Star Abyss" plan. At least the progress that was originally supposed to be operated to version 14.0 has been advanced by 5 versions because of you.

Sir, what else can I say?

I didn't kick you out of the game, not because I didn't want to, but because you forcibly occupied the identity of Liz, that is, [Seed of the Star Abyss] Sidse.

I really can't kick you out, and once Leanding knows that Liz has been invaded, he will take more radical measures than now. At that time, Yinmi will take advantage of the opportunity and seize the entire Xingyuan.

I have to tell you: this system is not for you, do you understand? To put it bluntly, you don't deserve to own this excellent 14.0 version full version system.

If you don't understand, let me put it this way:

"Sides is the protagonist who has the golden finger to call the shots in the other world, and you should have been just an experience pack for Sidse to practice and upgrade. In terms of bloodline alone, a dog in Red King's family is more noble than you."

I know you might be upset with me for saying this, but it's the truth.

In your worldview, birth and class determine everything. You feel that you are a victim and sacrifice of this system, but including Leanding, isn’t He one of them?
Why don't you try to serve as a gas station and blood transfusion bag for hundreds of millions of divine warriors, and use your own body to maintain the so-called "game world" of "Xingyuan".

I'm not saying that you have suffered less injustice than Lai Anding, but honestly, who do you think has made a greater contribution, you or Lai Anding?
Without Lai Anding, you wouldn't even have the chance to be born, but without Lioz, this Star Abyss would be filled with Zhang Aoz, Zhao Aoz, and Zhou Aoz.

You are not unique, and neither am I, but Leandin is.

I must explain to you the logic of how this world works: If there is no Leanding, or in other words, no Redeemer God, then the Yuanyuan Protoss will be completely extinct because you do not have the ability to reproduce.

Either you accept those who ascend to the sky and become gods, and acknowledge those alien species and races as part of your original nation, but at their speed, it won't be long before you change from the main rulers to a minority of aliens.

Or, you will sink completely to the bottom of the abyss, becoming an arrogant and lonely authority, waiting for newcomers to dive down, challenge and replace your existence.

Believe me, no matter which path you choose, you will gradually change from righteous revolutionaries to the evil "minority" and rulers, and will eventually be defeated by the majority.

Li Oz, you have to understand that I could have threatened you directly.

But I am a kind person and I intend to negotiate with you.

What I say is very blunt and hurtful, but I really mean it for your own good. To be exact, it’s not for your own good, but because I want to save Xingyuan.

The reason I betrayed the secret was that I refused to become an accomplice of the invaders. Maybe you don't know the official history of the earth, but my great-grandfather became a policeman of the SS during World War II, personally helping the Germans arrest Jews, hang Ukrainians, shoot Bolsheviks and even persecute Polish compatriots.

I will not go down the same path. I love games. I hope that war and death will stop at the data in the electronic world. I would rather kill Anton Yudintsev, Barannikov and Nikita a hundred times than kill the son of a programmer with my own hands. And the secret is doing this.

I am an Earthling, I love the Earth, and I am a member of the Earth's cultural community. Secrecy is the highest and most terrifying path on Earth, but I do not want it to win, because I know clearly that the poisonous blood in our bodies will first kill ourselves as Earthlings, and then people of other ethnic groups.

But can eliminating the secret eliminate the conflict between the Earth and Xingyuan?
No, it's not like that.

The conflict between the Earth and the Star Abyss will break out sooner or later. Our two worlds are spirally intertwined. We are interdependent and transform each other. If either side dies, the long distance will be enough to isolate and isolate the civilization occupying the other side's land.

If Xingyuan destroys the Earth, then Xingyuan will become the new Earth.

If the Earth occupies the Star Abyss, then the Earth will evolve into a new Star Abyss.

Blood and hatred, hatred and fire, endless cycle.

In order to stop the secrecy, Li Oz, I hope you will give up your personal hatred and conflicts. For the sake of the grand narrative, I hope you will hand over Rand Lord.

Look, I know this is hard.

I know, I have researched you thoroughly and read all your messages.

You are a member of the Xingyuan God Clan. Even if you are the lowest being, even if you are cannon fodder, your simple emotions will make you stand on the side of Yuanyuan. I understand, because that is your home. You have nowhere else to go, so you can only choose Xingyuan.

But what if I give you a home?
Now, I will show you a special information carrier containing the Esha enzyme. Here is the "ending" reserved for you by Entropy Lord, one of the original species.

I don't need to say much about the power of Entropy. Just one of its nodes can destroy all your happy endings. Objectively speaking, Entropy does not cut off your endings like performing surgery, but intercepts all trends that are favorable to you. Anyone who has learned a little bit of statistics will know that data without historical background is meaningless, trends can be changed, and accounts can be whitewashed. Even if the data itself is not changed, only the expression can be modified to change the conclusion of the reader.

However, Entropy seemed to have predicted long ago that you would go very far, so it did not do anything extreme, or rather, it saw a being more dangerous than you.

I don't care what it thinks, but now you have Landlord in your hands. While Leanding doesn't know about this yet, I advise you to make plans as soon as possible, sincerely.

Okay, I have given you enough reminders. I can tell you some of the remaining things.

First, I hope you can retire and stay away from Xingyuan affairs from now on. You don’t understand how important Lai Anding is. If you want revenge and debt collection, I can compensate you on behalf of Lai Anding.

Yes, this might be similar to... Zhao'an.

I'm Polish, and apart from the occasional trailer scam when a game is released... kurwa (Polish swear word), that's only occasionally.

My thinking is not that complicated. If I want to do something, I will tell you directly.

You can understand that this is an imperial edict, and it is done in the name and with the power of Lord Entropy, so you don't have to worry about anyone taking advantage of your situation.

Second, Entropy alone may not be enough for you to feel safe.

So, I contacted the Philosopher King.

As early as when you kidnapped Rand Lord and left, I urgently contacted the Crown Prince of the Empire. In the following decades, I have been secretly cooperating with the Empire.

Li Oz, if you want to continue the war, then this war will never end. Countless people will die, tens of millions, billions, trillions of stars will be dragged into the flames of war, wives will be without husbands, daughters will be without fathers, the radio will have no music but boring war reports, and workers returning home from get off work in the military factory, exhausted after a day's work, will be crushed by a black hole bomb without any warning...

But if you hand over Rand Lord, we can avoid these wars.

peace.

It was not the kind of appeasement that Leanding had adopted, but a gentle and bloodless coup.

I have trained a large number of special guards - you can understand them as real cheating players.

They will not be threatened by the secret and can keep the secret firmly in the abyss.

As for us, we will lead Rand Lord to smoothly realize the transition of power and establish a Yuanyuan belonging to the Yuanyuan God Clan. Then, by establishing a six-layer Xingyuan Federation, we will cut and split the Secret Council and scatter the members in each Xingyuan, which is equivalent to sealing them.

This way, the hidden body will not be able to come. Each seal is guarded by a plug-in player, which is very safe.

We will have peace for a long time, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.

You can enjoy the most generous treatment in the safest and most luxurious community in Dibang. You can choose the most beautiful, virtuous and loyal girls. You can also bring your lover or partner to enjoy together.

Is not it good?
I mean, isn't this kind of compensation good compared to just getting a fleeting acknowledgement from Yuan Yuan?
As you know, at this point, the system has reached its limit. I have not done any content after the Void, and Siddes does not know the future trend after version 14.0.

Even if it is a golden finger, it has been fully utilized.

That's enough, Sir Leoz.

You have already sacrificed 1.6 million Oshulians, are you going to sacrifice the peace of half of Xingyuan?
It's time to retire.

As for the rest, let future generations decide.

If you have no objection to this matter, then we will meet on Alemanni Island in ten days. People from the Empire will also come over, and we can have a good talk about your treatment then.

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

Li Oz listened to Silverston's words while staring at the information on the system panel.

[Player] Prior's personal letter clearly came with preparation.

Judging from the wording, it is impossible that he knew nothing and just noticed the change in data and improvised to try to save the situation and save Rand Lord.

He must have really done something and is very aware of the current situation.

What Prior meant was simple and sincere.

He didn't want to continue to interfere in Xingyuan's political arena. He seemed to have learned something from Lord Entropy, but he didn't explain it. Although Li Aozi was curious, he had no way to ask directly.

But one thing is certain.

The fact that this letter could be sent out showed that Lai Anding was really disillusioned, and Qiqiao Network was also extremely dissatisfied with him. At least the "From the Star Abyss" project would not be affected.

Prior won over the Empire State. Compared to Red King's duplicity, the Empire State's credibility was indeed more reliable.

As for the temple, Li Oz, as a materialist, would not even consider it.

It can be said that the guarantee for him to retire in Dibang is indeed very convincing.

If he continues to move forward, he will have to face four enemies: the Void, the Hidden, the Leanding Tribe, and Red King.

He looked at Silverston.

"Have you known about [Player] Prior?"

Silverston did not answer directly, but said:

"I was directly arranged to work at Xingyuan by Qiqiao Network. I have been living in the headquarters to recuperate and adapt to my new body."

"Oh."

Li Aozi nodded.

Things have come to this point, and Li Aoz naturally understands what is going on. It would be impolite to continue.

"You have changed a lot, Sir Leoze."

"I am still me."

"No, you are much more humane than before."

Silverston stepped forward and advised:
"There are some roads you shouldn't take. You deserve better. Think about how hard it has been for you to get here. Do you still want to keep going?"

"My humanity was cut out by Red King. Before that, I was just a cannon fodder god."

Li Oz paused:

"Perhaps, until now, they (the Xingyuan Protoss) still see me this way."

"Many warriors of the God Clan did not degenerate or flee back to the Abyss after being defeated in the war outside the Abyss. The more resolute ones chose to die for their country, but most of them eventually chose to retire."

Silverston said:
"Your status is given by others, your wealth is from the market, but your life is your own. Leoz, Oshulia was beaten so badly, you can see that these earthlings have been fully upgraded, and they are no longer the same species as us during the war outside the abyss."

"Correct."

Li Oz asked back:
"They can't even beat me, do you think these young people can be a match for these Super Earthlings?"

“…I believe in future generations.”

Silverston shook his head and said:

"Times will change. Now [players] have developed plug-ins. I will also make plug-ins. By then, every player will have a plug-in. It will not be difficult to suppress and seal these councilors. You have already done everything you should do."

"Silverston, you're not afraid of Gaia, are you?"

"Lioz, you will spread the flames of war from the Abyss to the Source. You even dare to treat Oshulia, a country you personally nurtured, with 160 million people, as pawns and let others eat them to fall into your plan. Once a full-scale war begins, the life of the entire Xingyuan will be overturned."

"This is a war of national destruction! It's a life-and-death struggle!"

Lioz growled:
"You and I are part of this grand narrative, and we must all die if necessary!"

"But I want to live."

Silverston said calmly:
"Lioz, you don't have any baggage. You can die for your goal, but I am the Lord of Plunder. My followers are still waiting for my return. I am their only motivation to live. My life does not belong to me, but to those lovely people who love me, respect me, and believe in me."

"Similarly, it's not just me. There are many people like me. They have relatives and children, and people hope they can return safely. They have selfish motives! They have absolute reasons to fight against the grand narrative for one person."

"If you don't believe me, then go and start a family, fall in love with a man, a woman, a robot, a slime, or a fire elemental, and marry them. Find a career you love, live a good life for decades, and then when you have children and grandchildren and a lover to lean on, I will find you. I want to see if you still have the courage to fight the Earthlings with swords."

Li Ozi fell silent.

Even so, Silverston was not angry.

"But, Leoze, you are my friend, my good comrade, and the one who saved my life and the lives of my family many times, Sir Leoze."

Silverston walked forward, kissed Lioz's cheeks and forehead, bowed to him and touched his chest, put his left arm behind his back, slowly knelt on one knee, and performed the most honorable etiquette of the Xingyuan Protoss.

"From a rational point of view, I shouldn't have done this. I should have directly handed the bones, that is, Rand Lord, to Prior and Fu Shen. But from an emotional point of view, I can't remain rational about this matter."

Then, He stood up, looked at Li Oz, and said:

"No matter what you do, Lord Leoz, I respect your decision. You are my best friend, and I am willing to reincarnate ten times to still be with you. You were once cold-blooded and ruthless, but you used your life to protect the plundered universe many times. I can never repay these favors."

"But, Lord Leoz, as your partner, I cannot bear to see you suffer. I don't want to see you continue to step into the Star Abyss. You are all alone, why do you continue to fight? Just for a breath of air? For the so-called injustice, you become the new oppressor? In order to take revenge on the Earthlings, you learned the Earthlings' language, believed in the Earthlings' religion, and exchanged the Earthlings' blood. You are more like an Earthling than any Earthling."

"You shouldn't dirty your hands and feet. I sincerely hope that you can get your own happiness."

"But I also support your personal wishes. As a partner, I hope you will stop, and as a comrade-in-arms, I will follow you."

Silverston stood up and took a few steps back to make way for the skinny body of Rand Lord.

"Make your choice."
