While Leoz and Redd Gold were discussing the origins and paths of Lievice in the Border Abyss, they failed to notice a lurking element.

——Lord Entropy.

As the supreme Primordial Species, Lord Entropy has no concept of death, even when defeated by Li Aozi and David Lyn on Azure Star, it simply changes its spatial existence.

Its strength far surpasses that of mere mortals who throw stones and deities who throw advanced stones; their power is mathematics, theory, philosophy, and imagination—but for this reason, sometimes their seemingly terrifying might lacks expressiveness.

Yet, this power, which completely reverses causality, surpasses countless divine weapons and swords.

'Lord Entropy,' also known as Yituo Feiya, shows no individual differences; despite its ability to reproduce through division, in some sense, they resemble a massive internet structure, with each Yituo Feiya capable of real-time information exchange, even transcending the barriers of the Starry Abyss.

However, this does not mean they have achieved 'perfection.'

Just as Zhi Xiang Merid lacks combat capability, Lord Entropy's overly rational thinking combined with a large network cluster almost entirely loses the expression of individuality and emotion—though who cares?

If you were part of such a natural world, would you care about filth and mud on you? Even discharging waste into the ocean would not incite your anger.

Humans do not mind being naked in front of their pets, and Lord Entropy, like most of the Longevity Breed, feels the same.

When the body of Lord Entropy on Azure Star was eliminated, its will, or the entity akin to consciousness, almost instantly crossed the material realm to arrive in an ocean filled with endless waste heat.

No congratulation for return, no banter or clamor, just as if picking up bread to slowly chew, allowing nutrients to be digested and transported throughout the universe.

The next moment, the once silent waste heat ocean suddenly whipped up a violent tsunami, needing no language or data, pure information pierced through as a school of swordfish, the world boiling and distilling exquisite magical crystals.

This place is filled with tranquility, a deadly silent roar.

Soon, Lord Entropy reached a unified conclusion:

〖Starry Abyss will face destruction.〗

In resisting Li Aozi, the Azure Star node spared no effort to delete many of the opponent's happy endings, but deliberately left one.

Considering rationality, Lord Entropy did not inform Li Aozi of this, but retained it as a potential negotiation leverage for the future.

After all, once Li Aozi's final act is completely erased, it also means the other party is highly likely to go all-out, dragging the whole world down.

Yes, that seemingly ordinary Li Aozi, in reality, possesses this ability, hidden beneath mortal flesh is the past Executer of the Dominating Universe, [God of the Present World] Leoz.

Once you push Leoz to a dead end, He might betray the Starry Abyss and join the [Secret Society], He has such capability.

No one would have thought, in Starry Abyss, Leoz is just a cannon fodder deity, but from the Earth's side, Leoz's talent is no less than a Senator's.

This does not mean Starry Abyss lacks talent, but the mechanism of the pathway has become outdated and decayed, whereas Earth's system is extremely advanced and excellent, capable of unlocking everyone's talents.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the Starry Abyss side dares not to heavily employ Leoz.

However, attempting to use this to threaten Li Aozi into stopping is already too late. The outcome of opposing Leoz will drag the entire Starry Abyss into an unpredictable future.

For Lord Entropy, an unforeseeable future is no different from destruction in the eyes of mortals.

Thus, He began to mobilize authority, influencing Starry Abyss as much as possible.

Direct intervention in Starry Abyss is foolish; the Primordial Abyss Will currently regards Starry Abyss as its property, and He would rather deploy Spiritual Warriors in disguise to turn the Layer Abyss into a back garden, directly sending avatars and selecting Angel Envoys, which would only draw more Spiritual Warrior purges.

Furthermore, those mortals are as short-lived as the Sun; just let several generations pass, and they will forget past hatred and conflicts. Long-term planning is more rewarding than short-term speculation.

Before departing, the Azure Star node chose David Lyn, which is very good; a man with such courage is worth selecting, but David Lyn alone is not enough.

The invisible hand of Lord Entropy also chose Li Aozi as his supporting presence.

Even with betting on both sides, after collective network consideration by Lord Entropy, it is still deemed not safe enough; in their view of the ultimate outcome, whether Starry Abyss or Earth, both will face eternal darkness.

And then what?

Subsequent events, unable to see.

This doesn't mean they have been destroyed, but signifies such a future where all concepts, laws, matter, and void have entirely 'ceased to exist.'

That is a devastation more frightening than void and destruction.

Such an outcome is not what they hope to see.

Just as the collective network of Lord Entropy began operating, attempting to indirectly influence the future, a strange node sent news. And this immediately illuminated the chaotic thoughts of Lord Entropy, focusing its originally chaotic and cumbersome computational power in one direction.

This point came from Severston.

Although Severston merely covertly absorbed a minor portion of residual Ersha material, his habitual fusion of it with his own pathway, however, allowed Lord Entropy to disperse the Mandate into his hands.

This is not merely an amplification of Severston's power.

More surprising is that... Lord Entropy noticed the missing history on Severston.

They traced and pursued along that missing part, finally finding the individual that was meticulously hidden.

Almost as if clarity dawned, Lord Entropy understood everything and immediately knew how the future trajectory should develop.

Allowing Lord Entropy to use Severston as a node to transmit power to the Starry Abyss.

〖Now, we will rewrite the ending of the story.〗

Let the Endless Starry Abyss, honor the arrival of Hao Entropy.

No longer unfolding in the glaring form of Ersha, Lord Entropy's power became gentle and covert, evading the Starry Abyss's defense mechanisms, while also fooling the sensitive senses of [Society]. It wrapped around the world like an octopus, its invisible tentacles infiltrating every corner of the world.

Those naturally filtered out and eliminated.

Individuals overlooked by the Grand Narrative.

The backward ones trampled by the ruthless historical process.

Now, Lord Entropy mercilessly grants them an opportunity.

It was not unprepared, blindly striking.

Seemingly due to some reasons, the original stable shelter and cognition filter became loose.

The Lai Anding Immortal Spirit's true self went absent without leave.

Its absence didn't matter much, Lord Entropy had long understood their resurrection mechanism through battles with players, knowing that players' existence is precisely those Spiritual Warriors salvaged and reborn.

At this moment, it was the weakest point of the "Lai Anding Medical Protocol".

It's hard to say clearly when Lord Entropy started to act, but at least one thing is clear: from the moment Lai Anding personally stepped in, Lord Entropy had established a foothold within the player community.

Due to Lai Anding's dereliction of duty, the game server operated by only one [Player] Senator couldn't detect Lord Entropy at all.

Its power flowed unimpeded, infiltrating the game system, subtly and gradually optimizing and altering the system's structure.

Meanwhile, it also affected the players' cognition filter.

The time was the second day after version 2.54 was released; because of Lai Anding's departure, the power of the medical protocol decreased, causing many players to experience issues like extended resurrection cooldown, bodies unable to respawn outside, and corpses failing to refresh. Such negative impacts aroused great dissatisfaction among the players, and the customer service of Qiqiao Network was quickly overwhelmed.

In desperation, [Player] Plyer had to manually add a hotfix, urgently strengthening a wave of [Redemption] pathway players, allowing them to establish field hospitals or clinics in more places.

And he personally wrote an announcement: declaring that this was due to the shadow of [Society] shrouding Layer Abyss, weakening the resurrection capability, subtly implying an event of [Secret Society] attacking the Empire.

In any case, emphasizing the habit of passing the buck to the secret when unable to resolve issues, all responsibility lies on the side of [Society] and so on.

It should be said that Plyer's approach was very responsible, maintaining the operation of the entire massive system alone in Lai Anding's absence.

But as far as Lord Entropy is concerned, it is not enough.

Its gaze fell on the street outside the Governor's Office of Azure Star.

Even though Azure Star received unification, it is still in a state of renovation, with Baizhu Star adopting a pleasingly loose system, granting the destiny community of Azure Star high autonomy; stationed troops are only responsible for protecting Azure Star's safety and suppressing rebellion.

The hasty end of the dark era, on the contrary, triggered a massive flood disaster, creating a large number of refugees and homeless people on Azure Star.

Fortunately, the capital Leoz Javca, built upon the former Imperial Palace of the Red Arrow Empire, is sufficient to accommodate a large population and provide relief.

The martyrdom of Red Arrow Emperor Rudolf and the officers completed the redemption, allowing this imperial city to return to the people. At least for now, having saved 1.2 million people from exposure in the wilderness since the departure of the royalty.

Lord Entropy scrutinizes this city, Leoz doesn't particularly favor Azure Star, but due to the continuous influx of players, this place will have more potential than other colonial planets.

Although there are still many other Newbie Planets available for utilization, there is no doubt that Azure Star under Leoz's control is most worth investing in: it has many players, close connections with Li Aozi, and possesses pathway landmarks. Cultivating [Sovereign] pathway Ascenders to Divinity is the best choice.

〖——It's also time for me to plant seeds.〗

Lord Entropy leisurely manipulates the Mandate, applying it there, scanning each individual through the future.

Even those forgotten by the Baizhu Government and Li Aozi will now usher in change.

To face that lightless future, Lord Entropy decides to grant mortals another chance to rise against destiny.

When its power connects the Starry Abyss and reality through the game system, fate has already changed.

However, its manifestation lies in——
