Chapter 792: 398. Stirring Up Rebellion

The old man in a black and green robe slowly walked behind the dune, bowed his head to face the enormous figure meditating there, and said in a deep voice:

"The rescue team saved a child who escaped from the disaster area. Out of gratitude, he provided some useful information."

Li Aozi did not respond but opened his hand, grabbing the old man, whose body began to melt bit by bit in his porcelain palm, seeping back into his body.

"Although [Weak Force] possesses terrifying destructive power, it is not fundamentally an ability focused on combat."

Li Aozi whispered softly.

Manipulating the weak interaction force between particles to create nuclear fission and excessive radiation is just the shallowest and most brutish means, whereas it is actually better at altering the attributes of matter. The principle is very simple: by removing or adding electrons, it allows the fundamental structure of matter to change.

With the mandate of weak force, as long as matter exists, Li Aozi can freely combine it to turn it into what he needs.

Transforming steel into magnets, mercury into gold, changing carbon-based lifeforms into crystal, or converting part of his own flesh into a complex living being—technically, if he has enough biochemical knowledge reserve, he could even recreate a life.

Therefore, weak force is also known as [The Power of the Sage], corresponding to the supreme realm of alchemy in the mysterious side.

The only problem is the inability to generate souls—which is normal, as the laws of Starry Abyss are such that non-natural people lack soul characteristics.

Of course, this is entirely due to Li Aozi having already ascended to Iota (9), allowing such exquisite craftsmanship.

If he started with [Weak Force], then as an unremarkable mortal at that time, Li Aozi might only be able to earn money by selling some precious metals, or use radiation for perspective. Direct combat capability would be very weak.

The best start is forever [Gravity], followed by [Electromagnetic Force]—considering that [Electromagnetic Force] requires substantial knowledge accumulation in the early stages, while [Gravity] does not need much.

"Using [Weak Force] to transform body parts and make flesh puppets is somewhat weaker in performance compared to growth-armored vanguards, but it’s convenient."

Weak force is fundamentally weaker (although far above electromagnetic force and gravity), unable to generate matter out of thin air, which is likely why Zhi Xiang finds it hard to truly stop the void—the essence of void is ’nothing.’ No matter how incredible Zhi Xiang’s capabilities are, it cannot create something out of nothing; it can only alter objectively existing matter.

Referencing Merid, one can see.

As a primordial species, facing the void, she can only act later. Only when the void creates a catastrophe and she happens to be nearby can she rescue.

She cannot observe the trajectory of the void, only purify everything retaliatory through substance rain.

Although essentially restrained, the primordial species might find such matters quite embarrassing.

Especially after repeated failures over time, Merid—Zhi Xiang itself—might already be internally devastated, lacking fighting spirit.

Therefore, when Li Aozi visited, Merid gave the condition to either roll away or be sent rolling.

Old good folks are always like this, torturing themselves to shreds without pleasing anyone, ending up only torturing themselves, developing a distorted character of internal oppression.

Fortunately, the blacksmith sincerely garnered Zhi Xiang’s understanding—thinking about it closely, it truly seems like destiny.

After absorbing the puppet back, the decision from Fermi Research Institute and the council to act against Zhi Xiang soon transmitted to Li Aozi’s mind.

"This way, it appears... the situation isn’t that simple."

It’s evident that the Kingdom Parliament is not soft; they adhere to the consistent thinking of transcendent beings.

Public rebellion? After dealing with Zhi Xiang, the farmers can be driven back for production in farms without substance rain.

Armed attacks? What of it? Can they match the power of the high table?

Lack of government legitimacy? Ridiculous, blades are the law!

This thinking isn’t wrong; after all, ninety-nine percent lack the matching philosophical enlightenment after stepping into transcendence.

But Li Aozi is different.

"I promised Zhi Xiang to expel the void, preventing Starry Abyss from touching this planet—then it’s a promise to be kept."

He doesn’t care about how many people he kills, as a half-stepping ascender into deities, mortal ethics cannot judge him.

Why lead the deceased to reincarnate?

Not out of duty or conscience, but because he can.

As [Lunar String Archbishop], central to his ideology is the ’civilizing mission,’ this keen sense of divine responsibility is unimaginable to mortals.

But Li Aozi feels not bad.

[Gio Zieou’s influence is sufficient, now just a call to action and all the citizens will rally. I specifically pushed Gio Zieou out as a shield, not only concealing the identity of the former chief blacksmith but also avoiding unnecessary conflict.]

Li Aozi slowly stands up, raises his hand:

"Now, the time has come."

His palm slowly rises, the elemental particles wandering through the air are attracted by him with gravity, then using weak force, sequentially transformed into the electrons, quarks, and neutrinos he needs, then shaped, and slowly sent into the sky by gravity.

At the same moment, as the pitch-black night enveloped the land, people raised their heads in astonishment, gazing towards the sky.

A bright and clear new moon was slowly rising from between the valleys.

"Look, what is that..."

At that moment, people beneath the night sky of the Dragon Satellite exclaimed in awe at this marvelous sight.

"Such a beautiful existence."

A woman infected by the Void raised her head and praised the brilliant moonlight. The gentle and clear moonlight, like a refreshing spring in her increasingly hollow heart, injected a splash of color into her once bleak world.

"It is so pure and flawless, but why do I feel an urge to scream?"

The knight in the trench beheaded a serf, gasping lightly as he turned his head and couldn’t help but reach out towards the moon on the horizon.

The gentle moonlight descended with clear radiative dust, sweeping over his solid armor with the wind. The high-energy radiative dust caused his retinas to fill with blood, creating hallucinations.

"Mom, did you see, I am a knight now, those landlords dare not bully us anymore, hahaha, now I’m in charge of suppressing the serf uprising. When I come back, when I come back, I’ll..."

The knight murmured as his body was slowly dissolved by the radiative wind, turning into carbon dust, scattered in the dusty wind.

Clang!

The knight’s blade fell to the ground.

But immediately, it was grasped by a youth in a black-green robe. He lifted the blade high and shouted loudly to his fellow believers behind him:

"Take up arms!"

"Break through the illusions! Drive the Void and the Monarch off this planet!"

After his shout, figures emerged densely from the other side of the hill.

"Long live Your Excellency Gio Zieou!"

Countless voices cried out as they picked up the knight’s equipment, killed by the radiative wind,

"The sacred moonlight guides our path, brothers and sisters unite! March to The Capital! Reclaim what belongs to us! We shall surely achieve the final victory!"

The earth trembled, the ground shook, wherever the moonlight reached, black-green robes and four-horned ox head banners fluttered in the wind.

"Break! Illusions!"

The spark of rebellion had already fallen, and under the months of planning, manipulation, and calamity catalyzed by Li Aozi, the largest church uprising in the history of the Dragon Satellite erupted!

From south to north, fierce flames burned. From west to east, corpses piled into mountains.

Li Aozi wandered within the timeline, physically existing outside the historical context, coldly manipulating everything and sending the souls of the dead into the Otherworld for reincarnation at any time.

For him, mortal morality no longer held any restraint; he did it simply because he chose to.

Ever since accepting that he was truly Leoz and not a reincarnation, he had also stopped taking the Truth Drug.

Let the human and divine natures gradually merge, the strength Li Aozi lacked and the emotional changes Leoz lacked, finally combined as one.

This, evidently, was an outcome Leoz was pleased to see.

The war was imminent, the Kingdom’s regular army initially coped with ease against the well-prepared [Breaking Delusion God View] and the Refugee Legion, but soon found themselves caught in a pincer as Void creatures took advantage of the situation.

The Dragon Satellite lacked humanistic technology, and those commanding the battles were the renowned conquering figure [God of Vanquishing Delusion] Gio Zieou.

On March 7th, the Hailan Province was conquered, Gio Zieou occupied the lord’s palace, declared amnesty for resistors’ atrocities, and ordered the Pope to read a proclamation against the traitors, announcing the Kingdom Parliament as an unlawful government opposing divine will. The Breaking Delusion Church army continued its actions until the entire kingdom was subdued.

By March 20th, the Kordan and Malinda Provinces were liberated. The local Alige Production Factory was taken over by armed forces, giving the Breaking Delusion Sect real military capabilities.

By April 6th, the Kingdom’s actual controlled area was reduced to only forty percent. The Breaking Delusion Sect declared the founding of a country—the Dragon Guard Empire.

The Empire adopted a monarchical government system, adding a Senate and a Citizens’ Assembly, with divine mandate.

This political system, far more advanced than the warlord oligarch alliance, was refined by Li Aozi. It overwhelmingly defeated the Old Kingdom Parliament in terms of productivity, organization, cohesion, etc., astonishing many Kingdom civilians with the lives of Empire Citizens. Serfs fled in droves, and the Church, bearing no grudges, was willing to accept anyone willing to convert as Empire citizens.

Stimulated by this, even some local landlords abandoned the idea of resistance, opening city gates and surrendering directly when faced with the Empire’s legion at their doorstep.

Thus, concentrating on dealing with threats from the Void.

More and more people joined the Empire’s forces. Li Aozi also fully committed, having the Baizhu Starfleet, stationed in the star system, deliver a vast supply of materials and battle skill manuals to arm the Empire adequately.

This was a total war.
