Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

"June 17th, sunny, light rain in the afternoon."

"After doing housework for a few days, Rednaya quietly slipped out. No one noticed her disappearance, just like she stole Severston's history silently and without anyone's attention. This is something to be wary of."

"Even now, I can't fully trust Rednaya, although I believe her words and past to be true. It is also possible that the Writer Senator smeared her in a book - but I don't consider that smearing… it's merely a reversal of gender, at most a gentle whitewash for Rednaya."

"The Guards at Destiny Fort said that there are a group of refugees coming from the Sodanland Khanate. After I informed my aunt, she left Destiny Fort to personally oversee the resettlement work of the refugees - of course, she will certainly carefully screen and select a batch, leaving only law-abiding, stable herdsmen with a specialty to enter the country."

"Clearly, this is Rednaya in action."

"Although I don't know how Rednaya does it, her efficiency is much higher than I imagined. A large number of refugees will continuously pour into Oxiulia to expand the population. For the tribes on the grassland, this approach will obviously stir up conflicts. However, in the short term, there should be no need to worry; no matter how dissatisfied the Sodanland Khanate is, they will not launch an attack on me."

"After all, I have a demigod aunt."

"Following modern immigration procedures, I suggested to my aunt that they need to undergo a period of language and common law education, yet the backward productivity of Border Abyss seems not to support this. Organizing such a massive educational team is challenging. After negotiations, my aunt brought over 12 doctors, 10 hairdressers, 20 bakers, and 4 family teachers from the capital, as a preliminary measure to handle them and prevent the spread of plague."

"Reform is absolutely necessary. I hope to shape Oxiulia into a universal Empire before I reach adulthood. A large number of public technical schools and health facilities must be prioritized."

"Since industrialization is difficult in Border Abyss, we might as well not industrialize. Instead, concentrate all industries on military and education, and start external expansion. I plan to use war to promote military nobility, ignite the political passion of citizens, use the citizenry to drive small-scale industrial and commercial development, and rely on industry and commerce to build a densely packed industrial system… As for what it can develop into, it depends on the spoils of war..."

"A year and four months old Leoz is writing at his desk."

"Although in Border Abyss, children at two or three years old can basically work and labor, the brain often doesn't develop until six. However, the genes of the Dawnbreaker Family that Leoz belongs to are quite good, and even if he hasn't inherited any talent, his brain development is quite rapid, and his thinking is very swift and sensitive."

"Combined with the accumulation of previous lives, his intelligence level, although incomparable to Earthlings like Redd, has improved a lot from his previous life."

"The more he interacts with Redd, the more Leoz discovers that the thinking patterns and concepts of Earthlings comprehensively surpass those of every species in Starry Abyss."

"Earthlings are very adept at utilizing all available resources. Whatever they plan to do, they will first define it and classify and analyze things. This way of thinking is extremely rare in Starry Abyss, where everyone trusts their own feelings and believes in their experience and judgment."

"Only philosopher kings, superhumans of such comprehensive and versatile level, can possess such a mindset."

"And this has nothing to do with education."

"It's a talent. Earthlings have this talent, so they can more easily conduct collective and individual reflections and embrace Society at any time."

"Although I don't want to admit it, the existence of Society, indeed, is the pinnacle of civilization, and its progressiveness is undeniable."

"However, now he can be considered half an Earthling."

"As a blacksmith, it's easy to access the internal information of the Secret Council, plus there's a Speaker by his side, and the learning efficiency is not low."

"Given time and Leoz's full effort in catching up, the gap with Earthlings can one day be narrowed, even completely closed."

"Further arrangements for future situations... let's leave it at that for now."

Leoz put down the quill pen, sighed, and took a sip of honey water to quench his thirst.

"Not long after arriving at Border Abyss, Leoz had basically mastered the writing of the language. However, due to the mixed civilization of species in Border Abyss and the numerous types of languages, he had to learn several."

"At least the commonly used Necro-speech, the World Languages, Alliance Common Language, and Clan Official Language. The Four Great Narrative Consortium of Border Abyss has a special spiritual power communication 'Calamity Speech', all of which need to be learned."

"Just thinking with your toes, the complex environment of Border Abyss has extremely high requirements and thresholds for learning, leaving no energy to disperse for studying various pathways for cultivation. The simpler and more pure it is, the faster the growth in Border Abyss, and the more potent the effect."

"The rules of the Border Abyss environment differ from Layer Abyss. Learning language is more of a mystical significance, especially as you get to the lower Starry Abyss levels. Language and culture will gradually become a solid and powerful weapon."

"However, for now, he only needs to use it as a basic tool. He does not aspire to become a Spellcaster of Border Abyss, as the reality of the pressure from the Pathway of Destroyer is already enough to give him headaches."

"Although knowing this body doesn't have much talent for the pathway... after actual training, Leoz found out that calling himself talentless is probably an understatement — he might actually owe a bit of talent to the heavens."

"The Pathway of Destroyer is the least picky of pathways when it comes to talent. Anyone can develop Qi Energy, and then use Qi Energy to connect the body's meridians, circulate heart and blood, and strengthen the body. Even a monkey can do it."

"Yet, when Leoz truly started, he discovered this body had a slight issue."

"When getting started, nothing unusual appeared, but when beginning to contact the pathway, it started to show."

"This body of his... seems to be somewhat insulated from energy."

"Besides the inherent weakness in life, which prevents him from generating the Life Origin Force required for the Pathway of Redemption, the act of mobilizing the Breathing Technique and absorbing energy particles from the outside world is basically like taking in as much as he lets out."

"Others practice Qi as a fishing net, allowing water and air to pass while retaining the energy inside, accumulating it into Qi."

"His cells, though, are like a funnel, letting all the energy pass through, leaving none behind."

"'It seems... this talent is indeed quite mediocre.'

Leoz's palm emitted a faint fluctuation of Qi Energy, like a red flame gently flickering. If not for the talent of Primordial Fire giving his Qi Energy some color, he would barely feel the Qi Energy himself."

"The Qi Force Method he practices is already a very advanced Sunflame Breathing Technique that fits well with his body, but unfortunately, he just can't retain the Qi Energy, relying solely on the Qi Energy absorbed as his body grows to mature slowly."

Leoz scratched his head.

"This won't do, the growth rate is too slow. It seems I must go out and level up."

"Originally he planned to wait for the True General to come so the two could directly team up to carry out tasks. But now it seems, Leoz fears that by the time the True General arrives, his level will already be higher than his, turning into a big character running around with a smaller character — what is this even? Who's the bigger character here?"
