005. Selling the Case for the Pearl
「Six standard units of organic solvent, still need... hydroxyl zinc sulfate, hmm, and then, which catalyst to use?」
Li Aozi had been tinkering in the chemical laboratory of Triangle Town for six hours, and finally, he managed to set up the basic production line needed for the biochemical pool.
With an extraordinary charisma of 100.1 and his foundation as a legendary figure from the outer lands, he was warmly welcomed wherever he went. The local warlord, Auckland Jute, even treated him as an honored guest.
The previously increased legend status in the outer lands clearly had an effect. Towns controlled by warlords generally had networks and basic industrial systems, and Triangle Town was among the more developed ones, even having basic laws.
In the previous life, this place was also one of the camps of player guilds in the outer lands. Building a good relationship with Auckland was not a bad thing.
Besides, Li Aozi had no intention of keeping the technology from the Abyss a secret.
「Everyone having nuclear weapons, only then can the world be at peace.」
Whether it's the threat from Entropy Monarchs or Philolith, the current situation of the four nations ultimately leads to destruction by external cosmic forces. Even without the threat of ancient powers, the current productivity of Azure Star could easily attract invasions from warlike interstellar civilizations, eventually becoming a colony.
Therefore, all humanity must go to space.
To achieve this goal, Li Aozi believed two prerequisites were necessary:
1: Destroy the GTB organization. As a special international organization created by the four nations, the Global Development Bank has controlled most of the energy distribution over the years. This not only monopolizes resources for the four nations but also severely hinders the unification of the people of the four nations and the outer lands.
2: Create a globally unified government. In the universe, the outdated system of nations is not fit to participate in the battlefield, only a unified government can.
The universe is too vast, and there are too many races. The mechanism of nations, serving the ruling class with violence, cannot operate in the face of the scale of interstellar wars.
Nationalism? Capitalism? The appeal of these concepts is too weak for civilizations with hundreds of billions of inhabitants. To mobilize them for war, a higher form of attraction is necessary.
For example... Dao Path.
Li Aozi was deep in thought.
「Perhaps I shouldn't just focus on the Dao Path of the Starfall Master. Given my current growth rate, I might aim for the Dao Path of the entire Domination series.」
The desire for immortality never ceased, and the six paths of transcending individually—Destruction, Domination, Craft, Eerie, Redemption, Plunder—weren't just for show.
Apart from Eerie and Plunder having a main god, the ultimate paths of the other four series, regardless of how many gods have appeared, their main gods have never been seen.
The negative effects of the first layer of the Star Abyss—Layer Abyss—are not yet apparent. As you descend to the second and third layers, even the influence of narrative-level civilizations will dissipate. At the same time, the only thing that can unite people will be fellow travelers on the same Dao Path.
If Azure Star can have at least 1 million Domination series players in the future, Li Aozi estimated that over 5000 people should reach the Starfall Master path. At that time, when he leads this fearless group into the Star Abyss, they wouldn't miss so many opportunities and could even grasp the discourse power of a layer of the Star Abyss.
