130 Born from Chaos

Two hours later, Li Aoz left Wendy's dormitory with a bottle of potion.

"This trip has been very fruitful. Not only did I obtain the Memory Potion, but I also learned about the Azure Planet."

Although he had long known that Narrative-level Civilization were not some kind of glorious and righteous figure, Li Aoz still felt somewhat unhappy when he actually realized that such hegemonic privileges were above his own.

In his previous life, he had spent so much time in the "Heroes Empire". If he hadn't spent most of his later years in the Star Abyss and rarely surfaced, Li Aoz would have practically considered the Empire his home.

And he's been here for so long, yet he doesn't know the details of the destruction of Azure Planet... which shows just how high the level of secrecy surrounding this matter was.

However, it is meaningless to despise and hate hegemony; they don't care about your personal likes or dislikes.

The only way to defeat a hegemon is to become a hegemon yourself.

Joining a fight if you can't win is never shameful.

"In other words, this is actually a good thing. At least this proves that Narrative-level Civilization is willing to save the Azure Planet."

Although the "Heroes Empire" had long harbored ambitions toward the Azure Planet, at least it was considering it from a developmental perspective. Compared to the Maxwell Syndicate of directly injecting cutting-edge knowledge, angering Entropy Lord, and blocking the Azure Planet, the Empire's actions did not even seem like expansion; instead, they gave off a sense of poverty alleviation.

"The Temple of Annihilation is too extreme in its approach and rather outdated in its methods; it's best not to get too close to them. As for the United Company, our relationship isn't good right now because of the Valenkov incident. In that case, it seems I'll have to make a trip to the Empire to resolve this issue."

Li Aoz much more familiar with Dibon, so returning to this familiar circle is relatively better.

Be prepared for both possibilities.

Having obtained the potion, Li Aoz in high spirits and took a detour to the cafeteria for an extra meal.

When Li Aoz sat down in his familiar spot, he realized that there seemed to be quite a lot of people at the next table.

He turned his head and his eyes met those of a blonde, golden-eyed, aloof beauty.

"Hey, good afternoon, Dia Lan."

"Good afternoon."

Dia Lan nodded slightly, pretending that the people watching her around her didn't exist.

"You are, Li Aoz, the freshman, right?"

However, the members of the Enforcement Team recognized Li Aoz. Many of them had met Li Aoz on the day of the Elemental Riot and had even testified for him. So, Li Aoz ended up chatting with them.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and building rapport, Li Aoz continued eating with his head down.

He ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, chopped the chicken into small pieces with a spoon, mixed it with the rice, scooped it up with a spoon, and put it in his mouth.

The rice grown on White Candle Star is not the same variety as that on Azure Planet. It tastes somewhat similar to millet, but with a stronger aroma and a stickier texture. Paired with lard broth, chicken cutlets, and beans, it is incredibly fragrant. With just these spices, no side dishes are needed. Li Aoz ate five large bowls in a row. With an ice-cold mango-flavored soda, he felt completely comfortable after the meal.

Dia Lan at the next table didn't eat any better than Li Aoz. She had no companion and her table was piled high with food. Perhaps because of her race, she didn't have the habit of eating staple foods. She mainly ate meat and fish, following a pure ketogenic diet. Roast suckling pig, fresh ham, roasted deer tail, stewed beef, half-cooked ribs, fresh cod fillets, blood ice cream, and so on, making one's eyes dizzy.

Too lazy to use utensils, she opened her mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and casually sucked down a large pot of stew like she was drinking milk tea. Looking at her, it was impossible to imagine that she was a noble ' Golden Princess '; she was more like a starving brown bear.

Li Aoz was already full after eating several bowls of rice, but seeing Dia Lan's nonchalant fighting style, he felt his appetite return and simply ate two more large bowls.

Putting everything else aside, Dia Lan is beautiful and has a huge appetite. Her ruthless and cold eating style, combined with her aloof temperament, makes this live mukbang show quite entertaining. When Li Aoz saw her grabbing a lobster and swallowing it whole, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft!"

That smile had no effect; Dia Lan's gaze immediately fell on Li Aoz, who, with the remaining half of a lobster about the length of her forearm still in her mouth, tossed her head and swallowed it whole, her golden eyes giving Li Aoz strange look:

Is there anything strange about that?

"It's nothing." Li Aoz noticed the gazes on him and shrugged.

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I just think it's kind of cute." Li Aoz stacked the plates to make it easier for the staff to clean up. "You usually have a very aloof aura, but I didn't expect you to eat like a little bear. It's kind of cute in a contrast."

After saying that, Li Aoz turned around and left. "I'm done eating, you can continue your fight."

Dia Lan's gaze was deep, his hands resting on the table, his golden eyes constantly scanning as if he were thinking about something, which made the members of the Enforcement Team next to him quite uncomfortable.

"Don't make any rash moves," a member of the Enforcement Team quickly said. "We're still under surveillance. Cooperating to clear our names as soon as possible is better for everyone..."

Dia Lan raised his hand and pointed to the stack of rice bowls left by Li Aoz: "Do you Tower Clan all have the same appetite as me, a dragon descendant?"

The group looked at the table next to them—and saw that the rice bowls piled up on Li Aoz's table had formed a small mountain.

If we're just talking about quantity... it seems to be no less than Dia Lan is eating at.

"Did that guy Lioz only eat rice?"

"He eats way too much, but he seems perfectly fine."

"Could he be a dragon too? That can't be, can it?"

Dia Lan lowered his head, his eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmm, I seem to have eaten a little more today. Although the [Bloodline] Aoneng does not consume mana, the improved physical fitness has increased my appetite quite a bit."

Combined with the ' Iron Stomach ' mutation he acquired during his time as a ' Mutant,' Li Aoz now feels incredibly powerful, with more than he can use.

Of course, none of these are the most crucial points.

The key point is that his head is a bio-engineered device, not a brain tissue. Whatever he eats is broken down directly within his skull to power the bio-engineered device.

What's wrong with increasing your food intake? You can't just bite down on an enemy and devour them alive, can you?

Bloodline, you really have a useless superpower.

Vegetables, [bloodline], vegetables.

Today is Wednesday, and the afternoon is club activity time. Hobbes needs to go home to get some things, while Lucite is busy earning Credits in the Alchemy Club.

However, judging from the alchemical waste he brought back each time, Li Aoz thought that sooner or later he would realize that alchemy was a dead end.

With his two best buddies away, Li Aoz decided not to do his homework at all. He took a walk around the dormitory, strolled back to the dormitory, locked the doors and windows, and made sure it was quiet and safe before sitting on his bed and taking out the memory potion.

"'Total Recall'—that's quite a fitting name, I hope it is."

After feeding the entire bottle of potion to his original head in the rift space, Li Aoz quickly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him. He removed the bio-armor head, sprawled out on the bed, and drifted into a dream.

deep.

The primordial beginning of the universe was so profound. Before the Star Abyss were formed, before all legends began, and before the 'history' of the wheel of history existed, the universe was so profound.

It is first and foremost nothingness, not even nothingness exists. Then, it gradually settles from nothingness, forming a world of nothingness. Nothingness then evolves, and the mass that does not exist is constantly squeezed and settled, eventually encompassing everything and becoming chaos.

At that time, there was neither light nor darkness.

But in that chaotic void, a group of ancient beings drew upon everything from the primordial universe from the harshest environment. After clarifying the logic of those ambiguous laws, they instantly gained a certain will and separated from the chaos.

Their bodies were forged and fired in the chaos, forming a strange shape under extremely high gravity, pressure, and temperature—smooth, solid, and without wrinkles. This skin, later known as 'porcelain,' was a characteristic possessed by those most ancient beings.

They originally consisted of six beings, faceless and speechless, all born from chaos at the call of the primordial universe, seemingly corresponding to the six gradually differentiating Star Abyss.

That period of history is so ancient that the concept of history had not yet been born, and the universe had not yet formed its own time and space.

But those who live after history will bestow upon these revered beings the greatest title in the world: God.

Star Abyss seemed to sense some kind of potential crisis. It urgently called upon the six main gods to create another world, each building their own universe outside Star Abyss. Regardless of their initial intentions, at least we understood that the principle of keeping enemies outside the country's borders was already evident at that time.

As darkness surged and a dragon's roar pierced the air, the Destroyer who had invaded this place immediately opened its demonic eyes.

The endless Outer Abyss War has begun silently.

In the process of building their respective cosmic fronts and arching the Star Abyss, the six main gods seemed to feel Follow the Heart. They realized that although their divine power was great, it was far inferior to the creatures selected by natural competition in terms of diversity and creativity.

Life was not something that should exist in Star Abyss.

At this moment, however, due to the arrival of the invaders, it has become part of the Star Abyss. As the war progresses, even the gods have been classified into the category of 'life'.

In the end, no matter how much the gods denied it, life had become their supporters and pawns. Compared to the destroyers who brought them into existence, the beings of the universe seemed to have more affection for the Star Abyss.

Perhaps from that time onward, the gods realized that their war was doomed to failure.

In order to cope with war and to maintain the stability of their own universe, the gods developed their own vast pantheons, seizing certain qualities from the Star Abyss, endowing that concept with power, activating its will, and when it gradually awakens, they put it into chaos to undergo torment and tempering.

In this way, a god was born.

Clang!

The charcoal-black body fell into the white sand, struggling and twisting incessantly. As it was cleansed and illuminated by the healing light of Lai Anding, the dirty and scorched body gradually shed its black scars, revealing pale silver porcelain skin. Large areas of deep blue muscles undulated and writhed slowly under the gravitational pressure of the starry sky.

It slowly raised its head, and the red-black sun grew millions of tree-like tendrils, pulling the newborn up. Divine power resonated, emitting a voice that reached directly to consciousness. "You descended here through chaos—10752, you are the 10752nd deity born today. Now, take up your sword and die for His Morphedria."
