A ship flew over my head.

Li Aozi raised his hand, and a rocket exploded behind him, its fragments disemboweling several players instantly. The bloody scene, combined with Li Aozi's unwavering stance in the midst of it, immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Five hundred years ago, the Azure Star People of the old era once established a golden age. People lived in abundance, free from war and poverty."

"Even then, they never reached space."

"A catastrophe wiped them out."

Li Aozi addressed the confused barrage and comment stream, saying:

"I believe you've heard similar statements: 'The universe and the sun are just fabrications by the government. Even without the sun, we live just fine. The Outer World still has life; there's never been sunlight or blue skies. Those are just religious lies to deceive the people. Darkness and cold, that's the reality.'"
