412 Star Abyss Seed

"I more or less understand all of this now."

Li Aoz took a deep breath and spoke.

"Is that so?"

Li Mingji stood with one hand on his hip, his voice sounding directly within Li Aoz's heart:

"I think there's still a lot you don't understand."

"We can talk after we're done fighting." Li Aoz's blade lit up.

What he meant was that he intended to kill Void Overlord Li Mingji, then take his memories.

Li Mingji naturally saw through that. He gently shook his head and said bluntly:

"No. You should know that I'm in the void. If we finish fighting, the void will drag me back."

"Is that so?" Li Aoz said calmly. "Since you don't want to fight, I'm not in a hurry either."

Of course he was not in a hurry. Qinlan Jiuge, a Kappa (10), was still out in space, so time meant nothing to him.

In fact, as he faced Li Mingji, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

—Completely eliminate the Star Abyss's seed. Take everything for myself.

"No, no, no—when facing an enemy like this, waiting to strike later is more advantageous—that's what you're thinking. People with systems all think that way. I know it too well."

Li Mingji tapped his forehead and said, "But it doesn't matter. It's been a long time since I discussed this period of history with anyone. Li Aoz, my 'son,' you're planning to stall because you have backup. I won't deceive you either. I also need time to descend, to wait for my complete form to cross the Star Abyss."

Li Mingji raised a hand. "Since we both intend to stall, why not be fair about it—let's talk about how we each came here—the God of the Present World, Lioz."

"Fine." Li Aoz nodded.
