As soon as Li Aoz landed, he immediately deactivated his Overlord transformation. He maintained this mode for a full two hours, and then had to wait another two hours before he could use it again.

Unfortunately, before the job change, the [Overlord Form] ability basically did not reduce the mutation direction related to cooldown, so it's best to save it if possible, so as not to have to physically tank the damage when encountering enemies.

He chatted amicably with the villagers, took out some captured bullets and medals, and traded them for some food to replenish his Aura Value. After two hours of aerial combat, Li Aoz was starving, and there was nothing to replenish his energy in the air, so he could only bite on the metal and alloy of the plane.

"You call me— Bahamut?"

Li Aoz took a bite of the flatbread, then gulped down a large mouthful of the homemade liquor brewed by the villagers, and asked curiously.

"Bahamut, in the Old Era Quranic language, means 'legendary figure'," a villager said admiringly. "You shot down so many of the Frostplate Devils's planes; you are our Bahamut, our great hero."

[Grant Republic's Favorability +300]

Current Favorability: 567 (Respectful)

Now, you can submit a designated supply request to the quartermaster of the Grant Republic every three calendar days.

Li Aoz didn't say anything. He was too hungry, so he quickly ate a couple of bites of rice. He ate the pickled vegetables and pork with the bread spread with butter, along with the milky beer. Li Aoz was like a happy little pig, enjoying his meal immensely.

His eating habits were appalling, but people felt that Li Aoz was down-to-earth, unpretentious, and showed his true self, which made him very likable.

"Try my family's bread."

"Bahamut, I've got the roast meat."

"Come to my house and have some yogurt-flavored meat skewers! Bell peppers, green peppers, chicken, and onions are skewered together and sizzle with oil when grilled!"

The people of Gurant are mostly ordinary farmers, many of whom are former serfs who have just regained their freedom. They hate the Frostplate Citizen who invaded their homeland and attempted to restore the duchy.

They are farmers, yet Frostplate Citizen keeps saying it's to protect the equal rights of women in Guland.

—But as soon as they started the war, they cut off their artificial light source.

This was hardly a principality seeking to restore civilization. To the simple and kind-hearted Grantian, these Frostplate Citizen simply wanted them dead.

Now, Li Aoz uses the simplest method to drag the arrogant fighter jets of the Frostplate Citizen down from the sky, smash them on the ground, and pile them up into a "Jingguan" (a mound of fallen soldiers) that is hundreds of meters high.

Let the Frostplate Citizen worship snow be buried by the snow of the Outland.

Is there anything more satisfying than this? The more Li Aoz ate, the happier the villagers became. They didn't have the strength to fight the Frostplate Citizen, so they could only support their warriors who were fighting a bloody battle in this way.

At this point, the three soldier players saw the villagers' reactions and Li Aoz's true behavior, and their initial resentment towards Li Aoz for running around immediately vanished.

"I never expected him to be so amazing."

Wa Liangke sighed, "It seems that Captain Liu's judgment was wrong. Li Aoz is a kind soldier, and he can be trusted."

"Moreover, our understanding of Li Aoz's strength, or rather, of the group of extraordinary individuals on Azure Planet, is still too superficial."

Both Yakesi and Mohad acknowledged Li Aoz's approach and capabilities.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the aerodynamic layout and design of those fighter jets, their Combat Power can't be low; they're at least Mach 5 aircraft.

What does five times the speed of sound mean? The first cosmic velocity is approximately 8 kilometers per second. Reaching this speed would allow one to break through the Gravity Field of their home planet and become an artificial satellite orbiting it.

Five times the speed of sound is equivalent to one-fifth of the first speed.

Li Aoz was able to dismantle these fighter jets one by one on his own, bring them here, and crash them down, all while remaining completely unharmed—his strength is evident.

The villagers' enthusiasm waned, and they immediately busied themselves collecting scraps of copper, Titanium Alloy, leaving Li Aoz sitting on the tree stump, happily continuing to eat his meal.

Just then, Li Aoz noticed three Grantian wearing unidentified military uniforms walking towards him.

As soon as they approached, Li Aoz saw a series of randomly generated numerical IDs appear above their heads. He immediately knew the background of this group of people.

[Random ID; either a merchant account or a player from the military.]

At this stage, it's still in the Internal Testing Phase, so it's obviously impossible for someone to be so extravagant as to create a secondary account to focus on business. Therefore, it must be someone from the military.

Li Aoz immediately showed great respect.

Although he knew that the Terra Federation had long ago switched to a mercenary system and that the army was recruited from the Andrei Group, this did not prevent the soldiers from leaving him with a very good impression.

In the previous life, if it weren't for the hard work of the soldiers hired by various countries to maintain peace and stability, the players' unruly behavior would have wiped out the Electronic Immigrants.

Moreover, these mercenaries are indeed quite capable in Combat Power and are loyal to their duties.

However, Li Aoz remembered that military players had a special supply channel, and even their supernatural powers were from the same path: the [Destruction] type [Ranger].

Why would these soldiers come looking for me? "Hello, esteemed Mr. Li Aoz."

The leader of the three Wa Liangke, came to Li Aoz.

"Who are you?" Li Aoz asked knowingly, feigning doubt. "Aren't you going to collect machine parts?"

"We are the ancient warriors who have come from afar to follow you."

Wa Liangke activated his [Disguise Mode] and spoke fluently and naturally to Li Aoz: "Thank you for making such a significant contribution to the peace of our country! At the same time, we also want to have the power to protect our homeland, just like you."

Li Aoz's expression was slightly strange.

Just as Wa Liangke expressed his desire for power, a system different from traditional NPC command templates appeared before him: [Player ' Wa Liangke ' seeks the path to supreme dominion—will you grant his request?]

This is... the new Path System added in version 14.0? He was busy playing dungeons and exploring new areas before he transmigrated, and he didn't even notice this update patch.

Li Aoz was slightly surprised, then suddenly understood.

[Yes, I am the only Overlord Class on this planet. If I don't have the Dao Path, then who does?]

Now, he has officially secured his position as a mentor in the [Dominator] system of Azure Planet.

No, it's even better.

After operating the Dao Path System for a while, Li Aoz realized that it was more important than he had imagined.

The activation of the Dao Path System made Li Aoz the spokesperson for the [Dominator] system across the entire Azure Planet.

From this day forward, all Mutant players, or Azure Planet People who pursue the path of the Mutant, must refer to his experience, his path, learn from him, and imitate him.

This is not a monopoly, but the benefits it brings are greater than those of a monopoly.

Because monopolies only bring about material effects, but the foundation laid by the path directly affects people's thoughts.

Simply put, people will be more likely to awaken the Aoneng within Li Aoz and more likely to understand the professional skills and experience that Li Aoz imparts.

It is equivalent to a Path Building without production capacity, but its influence is more profound than that of Path Building.

The Path Building can only affect people within their designated area, but this can affect everyone on the entire Azure Planet who has the potential to become a [Dominator].

The most direct result is the extremely high benefits it brings to Li Aoz himself.

Under normal circumstances, after Li Aoz's Main Class [Mutant] reaches level 80, if he continues down the [Starcaller] path, the route will be as follows: Advanced Class: [Echoer]

Advancement to the next profession: [Bishop]

Advanced Class: [Pope]

Final Ascension: [Starcaller]

The class divisions in Star Abyss are very straightforward: if a class is rare and powerful, it means that its path is too unpopular. It may have the potential to become a god, but the internal competition will be even more intense, and the climb is too difficult, so there is no need to choose it at all.

The real reason why popular professions are popular is that they create an "upward channel" to the top, giving ordinary people at the bottom a chance to see the hope of becoming gods.

In ancient times, upward mobility was achieved through family background, entering officialdom, or killing enemies and making meritorious contributions.

In modern times, upward mobility is achieved through entrepreneurship, invention, education, and exams.

Why is the [Destruction] class so popular? Because it truly doesn't discriminate based on talent, wealth, or intelligence; there are no barriers to entry, and it equally presents the future prospects to everyone.

The idea that hard work always pays off is the biggest advantage, and people's enthusiasm is at an all-time high without any need for encouragement.

All Narrative-level Civilization are vying for the path of destruction, as this is the true means of winning people's hearts and minds.

Gender? Race? Faith? Wealth? Compared to the path to Ascend to Godhood, or rather, the opportunity to change one's destiny, these are all insignificant! With the opening of the Path System, Li Aoz finally has the opportunity to begin shaping the "ascension channels" for players in the [Dominator] category.

"People are not unwilling to give, but they are afraid that their efforts will not be rewarded."

"The path of the Starcaller is too narrow and too niche. Ultimately, it's because there's no suitable threshold, and people can't see a future for this profession."

"And I will give them the opportunity to ascend with me—I give you the future."

Having experienced the hardships of being a "Mutant" in the early stages, as well as the experience of being imprisoned, Li Aoz knew that this path was not easy.

He didn't want other players to suffer the same fate, but he also wanted to increase the number of people taking this path as much as possible—only in this way would he have a chance to try to Ascend to Godhood on the path of the [Starcaller].

To be honest, Li Aoz always felt a little guilty about this, because he had transmigrated and become afraid of death, so he had to suffer along with the fearless players, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

Now, things are different. The Path System has been officially launched, Li Aoz can truly become powerful himself, leading all the followers of the Path to become powerful together.

"One very obvious point is that I will have greater potential than in my previous life."

As the founder of the [Dominator] path on Azure Planet, he will advance to the same profession as those mythical NPCs [Starcaller], no longer as an [Echo], but as the foundational profession of the [Starcaller] path.
