As for whether soul seizing a body would generate a sense of guilt, whether it would be despised, or whether it violated humanitarianism—in reality, these unacknowledged interstellar civilizations had no such concerns.
First, they had not signed any interstellar treaty, and their own laws did not regulate such matters.
Second, let alone soul seizing, even if Li Aozi now tricked a group of magic apprentices into becoming slaves and sold them off, even the most benevolent Song Civilization in the cosmos would not feel the slightest repulsion.
Because illegal civilizations are not protected; they are unrecognized civilizations, sowhat similar to Azure Star, the cosmos does not acknowledge them as civilized beings, as existences like themselves.
Such are the rules of the cosmos; upright-walking monkeys are too nurous. If you have your own community and a bit of technology, you count as a civilization—ants and bees may be closer to the definition of ’cosmic beings’ than so bipedal apes.
The cosmos is vast, and caring too much about humanitarianism can drive you insane. In cosmic life, it is best to stick to one’s own principles.
Li Aozi’s style of blowing up his mother star to save the majority of his people was rely a common tactic in the cosmos; with interstellar civilizations frequently numbering in the trillions, who would care about the life and death of one in a hundred thousand?
So might find it cruel, but most would let them ’voluntarily’ make the sacrifice. This isn’t a philosophical issue; it’s a matter of ans.
But this didn’t prevent Li Aozi from adhering to his own principles: protecting infants and toddlers, and preventing them from suffering.
Under grand narratives, he never questioned the group’s decisions, as he could not represent the majority, but representing himself was still achievable.
Leo’s identity was important, and this was the most convenient and quickest way. The biggest problem was not soul seizing, but that soul seizing could not inherit all mories.
This was also a flaw of the "Sovereign" series; thoughts and mories, a significant part are in the domain of the "Mysterious" series.
Li Aozi was really not good at this side of things, because he had only inherited Leo’s recent mories of a few months, including so significant matters, such as to whom his family’s land was sold, and who was on bad terms with him.
Fortunately, Leo had never participated in a magic aptitude test. Li Aozi rembered Baizhu Star gave these laborer descendants five full opportunities, and the Magic Academy had one benefit: it offered a general law stream open to the public which recruited year-round. And if one chose to go to the Magic Workshop, it was even more flexible about when to enroll and start work.
"The urgent task is to figure out how to secure a main occupation."
Most players transform their main profession into a secondary profession either by soul seizing and creating alternate accounts or by personality deduction. Compared to the latter’s chance-based approach, Li Aozi chose the more reliable thod.
He stepped out of the biological pool, threw his original body into it, set the mode, and let his original body enter hibernation to begin slowly repairing the genetic damage.
Just relying on the biological pool clearly wouldn’t be enough, but in a high-ranking educational hub like Baizhu Star, there certainly wouldn’t be a shortage of potent magic potions.
As an experienced player, Li Aozi greatly trusted the dical level on the magic side, since the goal of Potionology was to help mages ascend to divinity, whereas the science side often groped in the dark about how many effects a dicine could unearth.
For instance, glycerine nitrate was originally used as an explosive before it was found to treat angina, and likewise, tformin was used to treat diabetes but was later discovered to be sowhat effective against tumors. Doctors didn’t fully understand all the effects of a drug before confidently using it.
But magic wasn’t, as mature magic potions were specialized and wouldn’t cause unusual effects due to your constitution.
Because magic potions with special effects had already exploded in the alchemy workshop.
The predicant Li Aozi faced now sounded sowhat like a joke.
He needed to obtain magical qualifications to enter the academy and study.
—Then just take the test!
But he wanted to pass the Magic Aptitude Test, he had to learn Extraordinary Knowledge published by the academy.
— So go study it!
But to learn this Extraordinary Knowledge, he needed sufficient "Intelligence".
— So go increase your Attributes!
The problem was that the "Intelligence" attribute could only be significantly increased by becoming a Mage.
— So go beco one!
Becoming a Mage required taking an exam.
So in the end, the problem went full circle and was completely a contradiction spiral.
Fortunately, Leo’s level of intelligence had been of considerable help. Li Aozi, with his current high of 19 points in "Intelligence", still found a way to break the ga.
"I need to first raise my intelligence points—if my ’Charm’ is high, I could actually take on a few Secondary Professions and focus on leveling them up to gain attribute bonuses."
Compared to Main Professions that require passing complex exams and studying those difficult Extraordinary Knowledge, Li Aozi was very cautious—the Crystal Tower Civilization had not signed any interstellar treaties, so who knew if these Mages had any control over cutting-edge knowledge, probably not.
He did not want to find himself corrupted by society as he studied and then fall into being a re citizen of society.
Li Aozi cleaned up the recent battle marks and did not rush back to Blue Chrysanthemum Village. He stood on the hillside, the moonlight illuminating the path ahead of him.
Baizhu Star wasn’t just ho to academies and educational institutions. The planet itself was rich in relics from many lost civilizations. As a magic civilization, they valued these ancient civilizations, regularly maintaining and exploring those ruins, often unearthing ancient creations.
Li Aozi happened to know of so ancient civilization relics on Baizhu Star, and one of these relics could provide him with a very decent Magic Secondary Profession— "Elental Sorcerer."
This was a rare profession that provided bonuses to both "Charm" and "Intelligence", perfectly fitting Li Aozi’s current situation and his attribute panel.
Only, this profession had a low upper limit, and basically no one had seen it in later stages.
As a transitional ans to raise levels and add attributes, it was still very cost-effective. Once finished, if he just lted down the profession, he would only lose 50% of the experience, which to Li Aozi was hardly painful.
"This is the one. Other professions are too far-fetched, and their effects are not necessarily more suitable than ’Elental Sorcerer’."
It was way stronger than the "Civilian" profession, which didn’t provide any bonuses. With "Elental Sorcerer" providing attribute enhancents, passing the Magic Aptitude Test would definitely not be difficult.
Only, the relic where that profession was located was indeed a bit dangerous.
Its na was "Heroes of Falysia", Challenge Level lv.95, requiring at least 15 people, each with at least three combat specialties to form a team.
"A re level difference, not a big problem, no matter what, the result is , an 80 level unclassed ’civilian’, without any Arcane Energy or Spell Slots—facing a bunch of level 95’s—it’s obvious— the advantage is mine."
This was not much of a challenge for Li Aozi, as he had successfully attempted a 0 level, 78-hour Speedrun of Alpha Stage Mingji Humanity before.
Even the Professor has no objection.
