It was clear as day to Lord Entropy that the ring of Baizhu Fleet surrounding the orbit of Azure Star was more fearso.
Lord Entropy was no fool; it knew clearly who were the insects and who were the tigers, leopards, and wolves.
From the beginning, Lord Entropy’s main forces were directed toward attacking the Baizhu Fleet, but under Li Aozi’s command, there were strong defenders like the Silver Scion, Nephis.
For this war, Li Aozi had even gone so far as to hire a group of alien rcenaries from the Valenkov Autonomy—being familiar with their forr employer who had devised televised programming, the aliens from Valenkov were quite friendly and didn’t demand much compensation.
He also dispatched soone to inform the Fairy of the Lake from Baizhu Star—Sofia Malin. She had tens of thousands of Zeta Rank heroic warriors under her command, who were now assembled and boarding flights to Azure Star.
If it wasn’t for the Crystal Tower Civilization’s lack of people, Li Aozi would have wanted to borrow so troops from the forr suzerain state to join the battle.
Li Aozi hadn’t let his true body arrive early to the star system where Azure Star was located, partly to wait for the "Electromagnetic Force" to be in hand and prepare for his ascension to "Corona Pope," and partly to avoid provoking Lord Entropy.
He operated through the account of the True General, assisting players in continuing to clear out the White Plum Army units, thereby relieving the pressure on Frost Plated in the south, while tily switching back to his true body to begin the promotion ceremony.
anwhile, the Caral Snail and others didn’t notice his absent-mindedness—players inherently had a "sleeper mode" similar to a hosting system.
If they hadn’t eliminated the pseudo-humans before, there might have been suspicions, but now, there’s no need to worry.
Li Aozi could feel that every detail he once invested in on Azure Star, every bit of effort was now paying off.
Upon receiving this affirmation, Li Aozi could let go, activate the sleeper mode, and then switch to his true body to perform precision operations.
The "Corona Pope" is the Third Transformation profession for the Mutant.
For the native civilizations of Starry Abyss, they didn’t have the concept of "profession change"; they would call it "pathway crystallization" or "sublimation stage."
Fighting, activities, learning, training, and cultivation, taking actions that conform to the pathway’s principles, gaining precious resources to strengthen oneself—these actions essentially stimulate the pathway and carve one’s Path to Divinity.
Throughout this process, what you see, hear, say, and do, the experiences accumulated through battles, all beco the cornerstone of the foundational road and further extend, allowing you to travel further on the pathway.
The "Destroyer" pathway is the clearest because "destruction" is the most primitive, simplest, and easiest to form a "path." The Crane School focuses on accumulating through combat and physical enhancent, while the Dragon Faction emphasizes inner cultivation and the cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit. The pathway branches into countless auxiliary routes, and Ascenders need to refine step by step, choosing their own pathway.
In essence, this is no different from practicing cultivation.
In fact, the ultimate pathways in the Dragon Faction often bear nas like "Fairy Lord X," "Holy Immortal X," or "Sword Immortal X."
Mutant (starting pathway) – Echoer (first sublimation) – Bishop (essence sublimation) – Pope (outstanding sublimation) – teor Fall Master (final sublimation)
If, after the final sublimation, one can amass a large following and the strength of the pathway, and if there are no deities on that pathway, then one can take a further step after the final sublimation.
——Ascend to Godhood.
Li Aozi’s body was flying rapidly through the cosmic pathways, furthering his understanding of quantum spaceti after acquiring the Electromagnetic Force.
At this mont, simply releasing the "Weak Force" and "Gravity" would erase the shockwaves rising from his body, his existence at the crossroads of tilines continually shifting and intersecting. This thod of spacefaring, akin to ti travel, gave him an ability more powerful than any spacecraft.
He wasn’t leaping; rather, the sa segnt of spaceti was simply flying along with his body.
This flight placed no burden on him personally, and he didn’t even need to assu any posture; inertia had almost disappeared from him.
He could fly at superluminal speeds in the universe, busy with his affairs, without any concern for colliding with any targets.
Spaceti possesses a self-correcting ability; even if he were to collide with an atom at five tis the speed of light, theoretically, he should have been blown to bits—yet the warped spaceti around him would correct itself instantly before such a result occurred, reverting to a tiline where no explosion happened.
Unfortunately, at the stage of "Bishop," he could only use two types of Arcane Energy, and although the "Electromagnetic Force" was right in front of him, it could only be launched like a missile.
Initially, Li Aozi had considered feigning a fight with soone to stack "Charm" as the Bishop and see if he could eliminate Lord Entropy.
After several AI simulated experints, Li Aozi found that the AI wasn’t that dumb.
As long as his Charm attribute exceeded a threshold the AI could not defeat, the AI would imdiately forfeit the battle and self-destruct.
No matter how many tis he tried, no amount of training or programming could get the AI to engage with him.
Clearly put, it ant...
It gave up.
If he stacked his Charm and went after Lord Entropy or directly chard the Layer Abyss, sending Picappa Order (Rank 10) strong figures to eliminate Lord Entropy—then Lord Entropy would unhesitatingly self-destruct in confrontation.
Think about it, if even AI, facing an unbeatable foe, chooses to give up, how can any hardcore player still put effort into it?
Li Aozi felt speechless, reluctantly choosing this plan.
Transition, or rather complete masterpiece sublimation, to eradicate hierarchical differences with the aura of a "Corona Pope" and challenge Lord Entropy in a fair fight.
He consolidated all his power and connections.
Even those only interested in hunting Societies, like the Hunters Association.
["Disweil Lutonzk" has issued you a commission: "A Late Father’s Love" — settlent standard achieved]
[Would you like to complete the task?]
[Settling...]

[You receive a reward: "Social Institution" · Purple Moon Anchor Point]
[This institution has been cleansed by the Starry Abyss, making so attributes and abilities incompatible, and thus is being disbanded.]
[Current effect: Allows your character to roll back to the previous profession stage.]
——Got it.
This reward in itself was sowhat underwhelming, and Li Aozi initially dismissed it because he wouldn’t regret the pathway he chose.
But now, having this item allowed Li Aozi to dive freely into the Starry Abyss.
Even if he ascended to "Corona Pope," he could revert to being a "Bishop" at any ti.
"Trash is treasure put in the wrong place."
In Li Aozi’s hand appeared a purple crescent mark as he smiled slightly:
"The moon really is my mascot, always bringing good luck."
[Nephis has flawlessly completed the mission I assigned her; it’s also ti to leverage Mr. Disweil’s connections.]
Li Aozi reached out to Hunter ntor Mr. Disweil:
"Please inform the chanical Planet, Lord Puro Retalya, that the three conditions promised to long ago should now be fulfilled."
