Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Chapter 47: Underwater Abyss



[「Social Institution」·Purple Moon Anchor Point——Activation]

The red long hair instantly disintegrated and dissolved, the snowy white skin instantly solidified, reflecting a porcelain-like luster.

[Your occupation has been reverted to [Lunar String Archbishop]]

The azure blue eyes slowly opened, and Li Aozi had already returned to the posture of a Moon Zealot.

"Fortunately, I had Nephis complete the hidden task in advance and prepared this institution, the curse problem can be passively exempted with [Lunar String Archbishop]."

Anyway, now that he was holding [Electromagnetic Force] Arcane Energy, if he needed combat power, he could become a [Corona Pope] in no time.

The problem with Azure Star was also solved as he deliberately erased his identity at the speed of light on Baizhu Star, and now Li Aozi belonged to a stateless person. The Maxwell Consortium couldn't touch Baizhu Autonomous State, and if they wanted to pursue accountability, they could only come after him.

And if the consortium came for him, Li Aozi had too many places to go.

For example, Submergence Starry Abyss.

Li Aozi looked behind him: a medium-sized immigrant ship was continuously transporting supplies from the Crystal Tower's outpost base.

He specifically registered a gas exploration company, flying the flag of a neutral civilization, actually to explore the Galactic Eye Dark Star Domain and officially search for the original body of Xides and the underwater abyss entrance where the Evil God rose.

This was a secret even the Crystal Tower Civilization did not know.

The value of a wild, unexplored Underwater Abyss Port was extremely high, just like a canal port, once you control the right to operate it, you can profit all the time.

As long as there is civilization, there will be communication, and communication brings trade, just by collecting the toll, Li Aozi could make a fortune.

Moreover, once controlling the submergence pathway, Li Aozi could massively cultivate his own strong Kappa (10) class, and by selling slots, he could gain the trust and agreements of other civilizations, as the Narrative Civilization also united its allies using this method.

So if the wild port is so good, why would everyone still prefer to dive with the Narrative Civilization?

Following the Narrative Civilization, at most, you would silently lose contact, and they could still notify your family with 'please grieve'. On the other hand, diving through the wild port is basically at a 'master in the human world, mishap in the underworld' level.

The wild port is extremely dangerous.

A wild port that hasn't undergone a navigation test makes it hard to predict when you'll reach your destination, whether it's late or early, neither guarantees a safe arrival in the lower Starry Abyss.

If you get off the path early, the repulsive pressure between the star abysses would bounce you back to the original universe.

But if you're late, you might end up being shoved into an even lower starry abyss, directly cursed by a double curse. If you're lucky, you'll be paralyzed from the neck down. If not, see you in the next life.

But of course, Li Aozi didn't have this concern because he already had rich experience in submerging and floating up, being an experienced helmsman who had muscle memory for when to jump out.

Moreover, greater danger comes from the environment.

The wild port does not know which side of the starry abyss it will land on.

For example, their destination this time, Border Abyss, has:

Narrative No. 7——「Soul Hometown」

Narrative No. 8——「Endless Garden」

Narrative No. 9——「Collapsed Homeland」

Narrative No. 10——「Crimson Blood Alliance」

Each of these four narratives is very experienced, although jointly forming a federal government, they basically exist in a state of unity but not governance. Also, due to the vast area, Border Abyss has a very low population density.

This means that your starting environment is not certain, you may end up in the range of any narrative.

Every dive into the starry abyss is akin to starting anew.

「Collapsed Homeland」 and 「Endless Garden」 are more suitable newbie villages.

These two narratives adopt a friendly attitude towards outsiders, providing not only plenty of resources and services, but also dedicated instructional courses explaining the local culture, laws, and customs for you, allowing you to quickly integrate locally.

For Underwater Abyss Divers who bear curses after submerging, it is just right for recuperation and transition.

Typically, after a transition period of 20 to 40 years, you can adapt to the curse on your body and begin formally advancing towards the Path to Divinity.

But if you encounter 「Soul Hometown」, it's a bit uncomfortable.

Because "Soul" is a necromancer realm, Ascenders not on the path of [Redemption] or [Mysterious] will be discriminated against here.

「Crimson Blood Alliance」 is the worst narrative.

It not only highly rejects other starry abyss visitors but is also the most martial among the four Border Abyss narratives, with the populace brave in private duels.

The Alliance advocates martial force, with nearly everyone believing in Social Darwinism, and its social structure is highly fragmented, essentially a federation of tribes.

Moreover, the Crimson Blood Alliance has serious racial discrimination, which is directly reflected in their laws.

According to the law, the alliance gives different treatments according to various species, with the Cosmic Human Race restricted in education, employment, and asset acquisition, but allowed to join the alliance's military, serving it.

Such a severe narrative is obviously not a good initial choice.

There's nothing Li Aozi can do about this.

If you can't decide the birth environment, you can only strive to improve afterward.

Finally, the most important point.

The wild port is very prone to being targeted by [Society].

There is no inherent time domain of the narrative near the wild port, so even if attacked by [Society], the narrative won't know, nor will it intervene.

Due to a lack of exploration, Li Aozi didn't know how many [Society] might be lurking nearby.

But, he had to go.

It is said that a thirty percent profit is enough to make people risk their lives, and a one hundred percent profit can trample all human laws—for controlling a wild port, the benefits go far beyond that.

The most conservative estimate of profit from operating the Underwater Abyss Port is a staggering 49989%!

What does that mean?

Pick a dog from the roadside, tie it next to the port, and every minute it can earn Li Aozi a luxury yacht of fine wine and good food for a party.

However, Li Aozi wasn't acting recklessly; he prepared very rich supplies, and this time, he intended to bring 200,000 screened players to take the first step, acting as a trial sail.

If all goes well and confirmed safe, then it's time to get ready to count the money.

"Finally, the time has come."

Li Aozi raised his hand, a blue light glowing in his palm.

[Arcane Missile]

[Select Target]

Three arcane missiles launched, striking the cosmic space of yesteryear, and Canyue quickly flattened the space into two dimensions.

[Weak Force Mark]

Li Aozi clenched his left hand, and a radioactive purple glow shone in his pupils, as he found the target resonating with the bosons' mark.

[Gravitational Pull]

He raised his right hand, a blue glow shining from his palm.

The three arcane missiles were launched, hitting the cosmic space of the previous year, where the crescent moon quickly flattened the space to two dimensions.

Pop—

The flat paper surfaces quickly inflated in the three-dimensional world, like balloons being blown up.

Two figures were released from the two-dimensional plane, kneeling one behind the other on the ground.

The sovereign with swirling magic power slowly raised his head, saying, "Oh my, has the dream finally ended?"

The other, filled with eyes of wisdom, turned his gaze toward Li Aozi after adjusting his little mustache:

"I knew you would get us out."

Li Aozi nodded at his two old friends and classmates:

"I need you now."

"Serve me, and I can lead you to the Starry Abyss."
