Dividing LEDs into different groups

I deleted this line and added my blinking animation. But now everything is blinking fast and I don't have the meteor animation anymore

#include "FastLED.h"
#define NUM_LEDS 88
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
#define PIN 6

// Deklaration der Funktion slowBlink vor dem Setup
void slowBlink(CRGB color, int interval);

void setup()
{
  FastLED.addLeds<WS2811, PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);
}


void loop() {
  meteorRain(CRGB(0xCE, 0x08, 0xFF), 10, 30, false, 25);
  slowBlink(CRGB(0xCE, 0x08, 0xFF), 500); // Lila Blinken für die erste und letzte LED (500 ms Intervall)
}

void meteorRain(CRGB color, byte meteorSize, byte meteorTrailDecay, boolean meteorRandomDecay, int SpeedDelay) {  
  fill_solid(leds, NUM_LEDS, CRGB::Black);
 
  for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS+NUM_LEDS; i++) {
    // fade brightness all LEDs one step
    for(int j = 0; j < NUM_LEDS; j++) {
      if ((!meteorRandomDecay) || (random(10) > 5)) {
        leds[j].fadeToBlackBy(meteorTrailDecay);        
      }
    }
   
    // draw meteor
    for(int j = 0; j < meteorSize; j++) {
      if ((i - j < NUM_LEDS) && (i - j >= 0)) {
        leds[i - j] = color;
      }
    }
   
    FastLED.show();
  }
}

// Definition der slowBlink Funktion
void slowBlink(CRGB color, int interval) {
  static unsigned long lastUpdateTime = 0;
  static boolean state = false;
  
  if (millis() - lastUpdateTime >= interval) {
    lastUpdateTime = millis();
    state = !state;
    if (state) {
      // Lila für die erste LED
      leds[0] = color;
      // Lila für die letzte LED
      leds[NUM_LEDS - 1] = color;
    } else {
      // LEDs ausschalten
      fill_solid(leds, NUM_LEDS, CRGB::Black);
    }
    FastLED.show();
  }
