Aunt Merston's fondness for Leoz wasn't just evident in her tough love.

In fact, Leoz quite understood this situation; the demigod phase was a necessary volatile stage for mortals aspiring to ascend to godhood.

Before long, Aunt Merston began personally guiding him on the pathway of cultivation.

"Before we commence with your cultivation, there's something I must tell you."

Aunt Merston spoke seriously:

"My dear Leoz, I'm sorry to inform you: despite Oxiulia's fame for the Path of Redemption and the Dawnbreaker family's excellence in Redemption within the Border Abyss as a clan with Life Force that surpasses common bloodline inheritance - you haven't displayed that special talent."

"I know, Aunt," Leoz smiled, "I'm not bothered by it, and I'm not particularly interested in pursuing the Path of Redemption."

——The Path of Redemption demands extremely high talent; unlike the other five pathways which can rely on strategic planning, training, luck, or charm, it is too strict.

Besides, the Dawnbreaker family's Path of Redemption follows the surface schools, which focus on healing, enhancement, blessing, dispelling evil and necromancer entities.

This school has a famous strategy, known as the 'Knight of Sanctuary' school, where one fully invests in Strength, using a war hammer and a sturdy physique combined with strong self-healing abilities to wear the enemy down until they're exhausted.

The most tedious battlefield is watching the 'Knight of Sanctuary' fight against the 'Blood Demon'; the two can duel for hours without losing a single drop of their own blood.

Leoz doesn't need such abilities; he's always inclined toward the Melee Mage school, which requires higher mobility and spell potency, survival ability being secondary.

"Such an understanding child."

Aunt Merston was touched by Leoz's smile, wiping the corner of her eye:

"Aunt will surely make those talented with strong Life Force pay; they must truly understand your talent-deficient Pain."

"Let's forget about that kind of thing!"

"Since you can't cultivate the Path of Redemption, let's settle for the Path of Destruction."

Aunt gently coughed and began to explain:

"There's not much to say about the Path of Destruction; let's first introduce you to the hierarchy of our Border Abyss."

"Kappa (Κκ), Lambda (∧λ), Mu (Μμ), Niu (Νν), Cauchy (Ξξ), Mystic Kolon (Οο) — these make up the 'mortal' phase of the Border Abyss."

"Theoretically, ascenders at this stage should not continue existing in the Layer Abyss; they need to travel to the lower Starry Abyss to surpass their limits."

"Starting from the Kappa stage, regardless of previous species, features of the Starry Abyss Divine Race will appear on ascenders."

"Like porcelain skin, missing facial features, commencing communication without language, and more."

Aunt began counting on her fingers, carefully introducing:

"Kappa: equivalent to the childhood and adolescent niche in Border Abyss. Achieved at birth."

"Lambda: occupying the teenage niche in Border Abyss, by age twelve you can reach this level."

"Mu: enters puberty, capabilities start diversifying."

"Niu: divinity begins to differentiate, previous knowledge and strength start reintegration."

"Cauchy: by age sixteen, the official age of maturity, aside from the basic natural primordial form, you'll possess a demigod form no less than 200 meters tall."

"Reaching Cauchy (14), in the eyes of the small fry in Layer Abyss, you're considered a demigod. But in Layer Abyss, you're still just an ordinary robust young fellow."

She continued:

"Mystic Kolon: stepping into adulthood, all power integration complete, no longer affected by any time or space laws, the body ceases aging."

Then comes the real centerpiece:

"Pi (∏π), Rho (Ρρ), Sigma (∑σ)."

"In our Border Abyss, only Sigma is worthy of being called a demigod."

............

A year and five months have passed since the Green Field City assault, leaving Li Aozi, the first batch of players entering the Border Abyss naturally didn't miss him.

No wonder, for players at this phase, the resources in Border Abyss were overly abundant, far exceeding the effort, even if they spent days outsmarting ants and mice.

Even so, among the 220,000 players, there are still some uncoordinated voices.

Perhaps due to abundant resources, or perhaps due to the absence of Li Aozi's oversight, the internal forces among players began to grow intricate.

220,000 people are not a small number, especially as players chose different NPCs and mentors to advance.

[Go to the North Pole to catch catfish alive]: The gameplay in Border Abyss is truly rich, eight instances per day without repetition; Layer Abyss is such a broken place. What else besides jumping factions? Damn, are our noble Azure Star heroes only fit to be pirates in Layer Abyss?

[Rebirth of My Duke Xing Fury]: Yes, since arriving in Border Abyss, not only has the pressure to level up reduced, but there's also no mandatory exploration task, no need to divide factions for duels; several NPC mentors are easy to approach, I'm really fond of this place!

[Taison McDougal Barton]: Just a bunch of broke wastes with such limited ambition. I have fame and fortune, healthy parents, eight generations of landlord ancestors, raising three Canaries at age seventeen downtown, buying whatever I want, do you have that? Paupers! Satisfied after playing a few video games, laughable.
