Severston closed the group chat page,

"Looks like everyone is scattered now, probably trying to adapt to the Border Abyss environment, and with those curses on them, it's going to take at least a year or two, I suppose."

The situation isn't great, but it certainly can't be called bad.

Blown into the Border Abyss by the explosion? No, he felt it clearly when the explosion occurred shortly afterwards; a familiar Strength intervened directly at the center of the blast, taking them all away.

As to why this Strength felt familiar... Severston could confirm.

"That was precisely my Divine Power, my Mandate, the Pathway of [Raiding]."

This scenario was something even Leoz probably hadn't anticipated.

Undoubtedly, it's all because he joined this team.

It's easy to figure out, Oshen's an old fool, Leoz is a pure killing machine, Gio Zieou just an ordinary Samurai, Lanan quite unremarkable, and as for Elevent, though a bit clever, hasn't awakened yet.

Night Fighting Sword? Who's that kid again... anyway, not an important character.

Only he, the true System Main God of [Raiding], was the real target of the other party.

Although it's unclear why the bastard who stole his history suddenly appeared to help him, one thing can be confirmed.

"Looks like the thief has gotten into quite a bit of trouble, even needs my help."

Tsk tsk tsk, what is this?

That thief finally got his comeuppance, and thinking about him or her reluctantly saving him gave Severston a little twisted pleasure.

But truly a pity, he/she will eventually regret this decision for the rest of their life.

The great Your Excellency Severston is about to return to His divine seat, but as a generous good person, if that thief can have a change of heart and unconditionally return all stolen history, Your Excellency Severston would naturally open His arms to forgiveness.

There's no help for it, after all, he's not like Leoz, that kind of Tyrant who destroys civilizations and slaughters wantonly; the old Ravaging Universe was mostly a group of joy-seekers who loved sports and crafts, they weren't keen on War.

"Just wait, sooner or later I'll make you pay back with interest. But before that..."

Severston turned around, looking at Land Loyd tied to a stake with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth, scratching his head:

"Compared to others, why am I stuck with you."

He walked up, took the sock out of Land Loyd's mouth, the latter already dizzy from the smell, coughed a few times, didn't know if he was spicy or choking, took several deep breaths of the fresh Border Abyss air, then lifted his head to curse and vent at Severston:

"Severston! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Slap!

Severston unceremoniously slapped him:

"Shut up, you insolent brat, who do you think you are? A mere descendant of the Primordial God Clan daring to speak to me, a proper Main God like that? Even at a meal, you don't deserve to sit at my table."

That slap indeed sobered Land Loyd, and he realized that the person before him was different from Oshen and others, not a pawn at Lai Anding's disposal.

Severston, despite all, was once the Chief God who fought with Destroyer and [Society], wreaking havoc on the Starry Abyss.

"...I was presumptuous, Your Excellency."

Land Loyd bowed his head, trying his best to present a submissive attitude:

"I just don't understand why you suddenly teamed up with those lackeys to kidnap me..."

"Kidnap you? Don't think too much, you're just a freebie; it makes no difference whether you're here or not."

Severston glanced at the waves crashing in the distance.

They were currently on some island in the most famous Floating Sea Gulf in the northwest area of the Border Abyss; luck wasn't just good, it was extraordinary.

Unlike the Necromancer region where the three Professional Brothers were, the environment here was beautiful, rich in resources, and relatively safe, with a monster difficulty curve particularly smooth, perfect for Players to practice.

In fact, if Li Aozi were to come here, he would recognize it at a glance: Isn't this the 6.0 version's Border Abyss Player Newbie Village, Alemani Island?

Unerringly, Severston landed on Alemani Island, where the future Newbie Village Alemani Town would be located.

According to the original historical trajectory, shortly thereafter, the 8th narrative—"Endless Garden" Pioneer Group would arrive, valuing the rich resources and fertile volcanic land, building a town here, wherein a series of stories would unfold, being one of the main storylines in the 6.0 version.

But for now, this place was ownerless, also where Severston would rise.

Severston effortlessly acquired rich mineral resources locally, using the juice here to press, ferment, refine alcohol and sugar.

With alcohol and sugar, there's fuel and food, and with fuel and food, he could further sprint through the technology tree.

Unlike Leoz, who only invested life skills in crafting, Severston had a very comprehensive system, mastering all life skills needed for handicrafts, agriculture, industry, technology industry, and service industry.

In short, from farming to developing mobile apps, Severston could take care of it all.

Of course, manpower shortage at this stage was a serious problem, especially now being cursed, Severston couldn't accomplish many tasks alone.

To quickly establish contact with teammates, Severston decided to build a landmark following the game rules of "Starry Abyss," so team members could teleport even at the pioneering stage.

It should be said, the Player senator's ability, although limited, wasn't enough to directly create a complete game system but did provide as much convenience to Players as possible within the allowable range.

To build a landmark, it was essential to establish supporting facilities such as town halls, residential houses, farmland, workshops... In short, he needed to establish a town on the spot.

Since he was going to build a town, Severston decided to make it big.

"From this coast to that city, I want to establish a fully automated, self-sufficient main city!"

Among all Chief Gods, he wasn't the most skilled in battle, but when it came to management and development, no one could match Severston.

He branded Land Loyd with a shackle mark, blocking Lai Anding's positioning; this was a technique taught by Leoz.

The technique was good, but Severston planned to make minor modifications.

Just as Land Loyd was excited about gaining personal Freedom, he found Severston throwing a shovel and iron pickaxe at his feet.

Clang!

"Get to work."

Severston pointed to the pile of stones along the coastline:

"Clear this coast for me today, or expect your character to starve to death—oh right, don't even think about committing suicide to escape, I've already fixed your Respawn Point in the cave."

"Why?" Land Loyd protested: "Even if you're a Chief God, now we're all Players; you don't have the authority to order me—besides, I've been playing too long, I need to log off and find my mom!"

"Look at your System page and say that again."

Severston didn't stop him, crossed his arms, and watched as Land Loyd called up the System page.

When he saw the grayed-out [Log Off] button on the System interface, Land Loyd's expression became a complex mix of colors.

He immediately rushed up, grabbing Severston's collar in terror, shouting:

"What... what did you do to me?! Why can't I log off?"

"You're not a Player, how can you log off?"

Severston casually flipped him onto the ground, squatting down and stepping on his chest, teased:

"I added a bit of something to your body... although not much, enough to block the Cognition Filter, the System will now judge you as corrupted by [Society]."

"Congratulations, Young Master Land Loyd, you're now an enemy of Starry Abyss."

"Also, a piece of advice—show some basic respect in your posture, I'm a Chief God, attach 'Your Excellency' when addressing me."

"Understand, Lord Land Loyd?"
