NOVEL NEXT Chapter 154: Clumsy
Realizing his game talent, Li Aozi decisively gave up playing cards. He had already lost even his underpants, and if he continued losing, he might as well start a new life.
Compared to the lucky Redd, Lanmalock, whom she summoned, was more troublesome. His card skills were unmatched, despite his claims of 'never played before', 'first time', and 'just lucky'. In reality, he had won consecutively until now, except for obviously throwing a game to Rednaya once, he hadn't lost again.
Li Aozi wiped the paint off his face, tossed the cards, and asked Rednaya:
"Are we just going to keep playing cards like this?"
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Rednaya held a cup of warm mare's milk wine and teased:
"It was you who said to wait until your subordinates pass on the intelligence before taking action — if you ask me, who cares what that madwoman Lievice thinks, seize the chance while the Golden Dragon Monk, Evil God, and the warriors of the Sodanland Tribe are in a brawl here."
"Shallow."
Li Aozi assessed:
"Even if it's the Evil God, Lievice is ultimately of the same rank as you. There's no reason she wouldn't think of what you can think of."
To avoid directly calling out the divine name, Li Aozi deliberately pronounced Lievice's name in English. This earthly language wouldn't trigger a response from the Starry Abyss Divine Race, resulting in surveillance or warnings.
In truth, when he and Redd were together, they mostly spoke Haines' language, then English.
Seeing Li Aozi mention deities, Lanmalock wisely concealed himself.
Rednaya sipped the mare's milk wine and said calmly:
"You're underestimating me too much. While I was still your God Embracer, I killed five of those evil gods, not to mention now I'm the genuine Pathway Main God."
"That's different, Redd. The pathway requires diligent study, truly gaining insight, and merging with it to fully utilize its power. Can you say that right now, you could face Anpolo or Lyle with their complete reforging?"
Li Aozi shook his head:
"Lievice's situation is very peculiar, I always feel uncertain..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the sky suddenly erupted with roaring thunder, the resonance of divine power swept through like a shockwave. The Qi energy within Li Aozi's body boiled immediately, unintentionally dispersing outward.
"Hm, truly worthy of [Destroyer] Divine Clan. This momentum, not even bothering to conceal, is it because they feel cursed and won't be climbed by the Demigod from this realm..."
Rednaya rubbed her chin, eyes flickering darkly, just as Li Aozi thought she was contemplating his suggestion, she suddenly said casually:
"What about your aunt? Let her come and clean up."
Li Aozi was startled: "You're joking, weren't you going to capture her alive and have her teach me the Path of Destruction?"
"That's unavoidable, Lievice is so assertive. With your less than two-year-old body now, if anything happens, [Lord Ao Sha] will definitely stew me."
Rednaya said lightly:
"Either be cautious or aggressive, you're sitting here like a woman waiting, even I, a woman, can't stand it."
"...Though true."
Li Aozi pondered for a moment.
They had been waiting outside the valley of the battlefield for a week now.
Dialan hadn't given any news, making Li Aozi more uneasy. He was confident in Dialan's strength, few in the same class should be able to defeat the Dragon Titan.
But precisely because even Dialan was stuck in delay and silence, Li Aozi grew more suspicious of the dangers related to Lievice's matters.
In the 'past life', Lievice's story was merely dinner-table gossip about the 'pure love War God failing to drive, only to be killed by a Minotaur's wild scholar'. But countless odd incidents had already occurred this lifetime.
Not to mention, Xides himself had already become his puppet. As time passes, their bodies and histories fuse.
Recalling carefully.
Frost Plated Republic — Overthrown by David Lyn's coup, now directly becomes the main body of Azure Star.
Azure Star — Originally blown up by players, now united, becoming Li Aozi's endless pig farm.
Valenkov — From a battlefield backdrop, turned into a popular real-life chicken eating show.
Eye of the Galaxy, Baizhu Star, Dragon Satellite, Zhi Xiang, Lord Entropy, Du Zexin...
According to Rednaya's confession, these events all bore her interference, the purpose was for them to truly meet in Border Abyss someday.
So... what about other events?
According to the predetermined plot development, the assailant Canyue attacking Baizhu Star shouldn't have acted at that time.
Thinking back, the Ziluo Star that completed tasks together with Caramel Snail also underwent significant changes, the timeline didn't match but he didn't care at the time.
Also, Lievice directly floated to Eye of the Galaxy after ascending, which greatly deviates from the past life.
Eye of the Galaxy is near the Imperial Domain Star Field, but Lievice originally ascended in the vicinity of the Group.
[What exactly is missing... No, wrong!]
Li Aozi suddenly raised his head, looked at Redd:
"[Society]."
After Canyue launched the raid, [Mechanical World Society] suddenly took action.
Gio Zieou also awakened due to [Melodic Society] corruption.
Du Zexin, Frost Plated, even within the Empire...
To pursue efficiency, he only did tasks best suited for him. Even so, every Starry Abyss themed task would inevitably encounter one social system or another.
