"How you think and what you do is your business."

Li Aozi neither denied nor confirmed.

The three of them fell into silence. Before long, they created a group chat and began a heated discussion.

This discussion lasted for days and nights.

Li Aozi didn't join them; he was now powerful enough and no longer needed to hide.

He purposely revived his true form, brought it back to the Rock Ghost Tomb, and focused on seclusion for spiritual integration with his Pathway.

Though this action was somewhat anticlimactic… but when thinking about all this suffering being transferred onto the three Professional Brothers, Li Aozi didn't feel guilty; instead, he found it somewhat mysterious.

Qixi Lei left too early.

Redd was the same; ever since he killed Lievice, contact suddenly ceased.

She mentioned something about problems in the upper cosmos and needed to check it out.

Honestly speaking, if not for Lai Anding personally getting involved, which intrigued Li Aozi, Li Aozi had been planning to come clean.

If Li Aozi and True General could merge their two accounts, the massive fan overlap would create an influence capable of shaking over half the Starry Abyss players.

Regarding the reality's cognition filter issue.

No need to think about it; it's obvious that only the Spiritual Warriors of Primordial Abyss are marked with this thing.

Since arriving here on the first day, Li Aozi never truly visited Primordial Abyss; his understanding of Primordial Abyss came entirely from Xides.

He had seen Caramel Snail more than once with cognition filter issues, leading to mental collapse, personality disorder, and nearly total defeat.

Speaking of Caramel Snail... never mind.

Li Aozi shook his head.

To this day, he still found what happened to Caramel Snail unbelievable, but he respected his choice.

"Now, let's sort out the situation."

Combining his previous informational understanding.

The real world consists of the Warrior Party, formed by Destroyer, Fine Artistry, and Sovereign God Clan refugees; the Official Party of Redemption Deities preserving full strength due to being in the rear during the war; and the Slave Labor Party, a group of opportunists misusing power at will.

With the launch of the Starry Abyss Project, many warriors submerged into the Starry Abyss with the ultimate goal of protecting all Six Great Abysses. As the project's core, they lacked any command or decision-making abilities.

Slave laborers naturally need no further explanation; they were inherently weak, had no eligibility to participate in warfare, and should mostly be working in the Qiqiao Network providing logistical support, without any authority.

For slave laborers, victory by either warrior or official factions is meaningless; no matter who wins, they only change their master for working, nothing more.

In reality, due to years of thorough cultivation and pushing for the Starry Abyss Project, Lai Anding's painstaking efforts (in a double sense) won the favor of the Will of the Starry Abyss, making him an undisputed hero in advancing the First Narrative.

It can be said that without Lai Anding, the real world, or Primordial Abyss, would already have been breached by Society, resulting in unbridled slaughter and consumption.

These words aren't to whitewash Lai Anding.

Intelligent beings aren't simply black and white, as even the greatest individuals are limited by their own understanding.

Lai Anding has a significant share in the Starry Abyss, and Li Aozi's current achievements owe much to Lai Anding's help.

If not for Lai Anding collaborating with Players engaging in the game system and Xides comprehensively delivering it, he would likely still be drifting in the cosmos, requiring over ten thousand years to achieve his current success.

Just look at Redd Gold.

Even endowed with Chief Godhood, Redd Gold found himself helpless with the complex structure of the Starry Abyss, spending five thousand years, ultimately deciding to cooperate with Leoz.

Redd isn't a good guy, Lai Anding isn't a Saint, and Leoz is more of a complete usurper tyrant.

No one possesses absolute justice, but fortunately, this Starry Abyss is vast enough, vast enough to accommodate every peculiar color.

Evil, justice?

These aren't fixed; rather, they transform into each other.

In this overarching Grand Narrative sweeping across the Six-Layered Starry Abyss, there's no right or wrong.

Even within Society led by Gaia, uniform collectivism doesn't exist.

There's an Earth supremacy figure like Anpolo who yearns to annihilate all inhabitants of the Starry Abyss, seeking survival space for Earthlings. There are opportunists like Redd Gold merely trying to cash in on the windfall. And even Scholars like Lyle, with origins in Haines, who are indifferent to Earth factions and lean toward peaceful coexistence.

There are even conscience-driven individuals like Players, Doctors, and Saintesses, extremely disappointed with Gaia's acts, refusing to aid the wicked, each choosing their own way to restore the situation.

It's more appropriately said that most Deities are naive.

They were told they were playing a game, and everything they did requires but a click of the mouse, a tap on the keyboard, to kill millions of parents' children in a place thousands of light-years away, destroying their homes along with them.

Lai Anding dared not reveal the truth to Deities.

Except for the Redemption Deities with undamaged wings, ninety-nine percent of Spiritual Warriors were reincarnators dredged from the Nether Abyss; they were once world-saving heroes with lofty beliefs and noble missions, willing to fight to the death unconditionally to protect the Starry Abyss, even battling their way out of hell as Saviors.

Yet now, they became citizens of the First Narrative, using privileged Divine Clan status and technology to invade and violate the sovereignty of other Narrative Civilizations, through espionage, infiltration, colonization, garrisoning, little by little turning the Six-Layered Starry Abyss entirely into a protectorate of the Primordial Abyss.

This equates to betraying their ideals, causing the collapse of Deities' pure faith.

Other civilizations might find it hard to understand why Primordial Abyss is so wary, why it applies Cognition Filters to every Deity rather than transparently revealing its true intentions, like the Empire does, openly embracing its imperialistic Grand Narrative, destined for conquest and enlightenment.

But Leoz understood it perfectly.

Deities, when described positively, are omnipotent beings that transcend human existence and embody natural laws.

But negatively speaking, they're merely a bunch of giant babies.

Mortal affairs, human traits, these fragile matters compel Brief Lifespan Species to rapidly evolve, becoming mature individuals who exhaust all means for survival, completing their life cycle before dying entirely.

Deities devoid of human traits indeed possess high efficiency, but their growth is incredibly slow.

Billions of years ago, the strongest Spiritual Warriors were people like Gio Zieou, Oshen, and Elevent.

Billions of years later, the strongest Spiritual Warriors remain folks like Caramel Snail, Long Yuqiong, and Yutianxiao.

And Leoz, corrupted by a stab from Redd Gold, gained human traits.

In merely five thousand years, or even if considering practical action time, perhaps not even 50 years, he progressed to this extent.

There's no denying favorable elements of time, place, and human conditions played a role, but as Earthlings say:

"Luck is also a part of strength."
