Capítulo 1404: Chapter 277: Tai Sui and Old Man Huang

The Gods in the boundless mystery, the leaders of many high-level species, and the divine beings wandering through countless secret realms… At this moment, all eyes are fixed on the tentacle of Tang Qi, shimmering with dream radiance.

Around the tentacle, one of the three light balls had shattered, revealing what lay within.

Father God’s Wish!

A special divine artifact crafted by ancient prophets and sages, capable of reversing the gender of a life form.

Tang Qi also gazed at this metal creation, a look of helplessness in his eyes.

Boss Aiken wasn’t wrong, this divine artifact called “Father God’s Wish” is indeed astonishing.

It reverses not the so-called external form.

But the true, originally unchangeable initial gender, even encompassing related authority, position, and power.

If it were merely an avatar, projection, or form change, becoming a Mother Goddess would be out of the question.

“With the dominator-level position of the Rotten Father God, He could switch to any gender without any hindrance, merely by thought.”

“But His true desire is to become, in some sense, another ‘Primordial Mother,’ which is not something easily done.”

“This involves the authority of life, and some secrets from the time of primordial birth.”

“Yet this divine artifact, it can accomplish it.”

As Tang Qi grasped the metal creation, his gaze swept over it, revealing information fragments more detailed than Boss Aiken’s introduction.

A key point among them:

“The artifact’s expression is ‘gender reversal,’ but it is essentially closer to a change of intrinsic form.”

“The Rotten Father God, designated as the first user, would truly transform into a ‘Rotting Mother God’ if He were to use the artifact, becoming a new dominator mixed with ‘rotting’ and ‘primordial’ authorities… lasting for ten thousand years, with no effect upon the second use.”

“Very powerful, and unbelievable.”

Tang Qi evaluated the artifact silently, unable to resist speculating on the nature of the prophet sage who crafted it.

Undoubtedly not the initial prophet.

Indeed, a member of the “Wise Man Group,” with a rather sinister and dark character, quite to Tang Qi’s taste.

“If given the chance, I must certainly meet and exchange learning.”

Tang Qi silently expressed his respect for the senior, then shifted his gaze.

Along with him, the other spectators did the same.

Because at this moment, within the three light balls encircling the Supreme Deer God’s hooves, another had shattered, revealing what lay inside.

“Oh?”

Sounds of surprise arose everywhere.

Evidently, the first divine artifact the Supreme Deer God needed to sell, like Tang Qi’s “Father God’s Wish,” was rather curious and rare.

“What on earth is this thing, it’s disgusting.”

Before all the spectators, the deer-shaped Supreme God could not help but express distaste.

It appeared to be a somewhat dirty brown “gelatinous mass,” roughly cylindrical in shape, but with both ends curled up slightly, each side having slits and holes.

Within the creation existed various impurities, such as growing flesh, black wispy objects, hair-like insect life forms, and white bone fragments…

The surface of the creation secreted a transparent mucus at a slow pace, but the mucus was quickly absorbed by the gelatinous mass.

The creation appeared to be a “lifeless thing,” but when observed by all life forms, they would immediately perceive its essence as “life” and develop a strong desire to possess and devour it.

The creation constantly exuded some divine aura, which already had an original source, but the middle channel seemed severed, leaving the artifact in a unique abandoned state.

As everyone watched, the leading ancient being spoke:

“Its name is ‘Tai Sui,’ originating from the Origin Star, an ancient divine artifact of the Eternal Heaven Dynasty region.”

“It is a special life aggregation, showing no signs of intelligence, following only instinct to eternally proliferate.”

“It possesses a certain terrifying toxicity, related to ‘desire,’ and whether observed, contained, tasted, or devoured, all means of interaction will result in being infected with the poison, rendering the infected individual’s desires uncontrollable.”

“Before being collected by us in ‘All Things Can Be Sold,’ it had already caused multiple destructive doomsday events, an uncountable number, with the most documented instance having caused an entire ancient civilization in the Eternal Heaven Dynasty to crumble, despite them possessing god-slaying power, yet they still collapsed due to Tai Sui.”

“It holds various mighty powers, such as infinite proliferation, infinite devouring… We have used special means to let it enter a low-efficiency dormant state, yet still unable to completely deactivate it.”

“It has many uses, such as using a part of it, even just a tiny piece, can grant some form of eternal life.”

“And as long as properly used, one can ascend to godhood with immunity to its pollution by leveraging this artifact.”

“But any who ascend to divinity by borrowing it must bear the side effect: Their body and divine sovereignty are by default claimed by an ancient god still in concealment, gaining power but losing freedom.”

“Its source is this concealed ancient god, whose state is unknown, but it is speculated that this ancient god’s position had at least once reached dominator level.”

“Before being sold to us, its previous owner was a prophet sage from the Eternal Heaven Dynasty, known as ‘Old Man Huang,’ who sold us this artifact, leaving some notes perhaps helpful for its marketing.”

“Old Man’s Note 1: Children, trust the old man, eternal life is boring, ascension even more so… so this evil thing shall not be left to you.”

“Old Man’s Note 2: This artifact comes from that ever-hungry big monster outside the boundless mystery, very irritable and crude, claiming to devour all my sheltered people…”

“Old Man’s Note Three: I am an old man who cannot fight, but I still tried to negotiate amicably with it. Finally, after nine days and nights of continuous communication, it voluntarily excised the most evil part of its body and agreed to replace me as the ‘Guardian’… Thus, it obtained peace, and I obtained research materials, and we were both satisfied.”

“Old Man’s Note Four: Hey, whoever gets this thing, please don’t put it on your lower body—it’s not a good experience. Believe me, an old man wouldn’t lie.”

…

As this long and tedious introduction temporarily ended, whether it was Tang Qi or the audience, they all fell into silence.

The Supreme Deer God did not; it continued to use its deer hoof to fiddle with the divine item called Tai Sui.

Especially after the Ancient One spat out the last note, the Deer God couldn’t help but feel an impulse.

“Put it on the lower body? How to put it on?”

At this moment, the voice of the Deer God would sound adorably silly to anyone.

At the same time, it also gave people the urge to facepalm.

Tang Qi’s feelings were the most special; his face remained calm, but deep in his mind, turmoil began to rise.

Although not too obvious yet, the scene before him already showed some signs.

This seemed to be another scheme targeting the Supreme Deer God… a deception?

Whether it was “All Things Can Be Sold” or “Ancient Bos Aiken,” the first round of divine items provided by both sides had direct or indirect connections with the “Wise Man Group.”

As a “quasi-sage,” Tang Qi felt the strong sense of wicked humor released by the sages, all targeting the Supreme Deer God.

The two prophets and sages involved, one was unknown, the other being “Old Man Huang,” whom he had previously interacted with.

The previous stereotype of prophets, sages, philosophers, etc., all stood for wisdom, goodness, and honesty.

But now, Tang Qi had changed this idea.

Crafting the “Father God’s Wish,” wanting the Rotten Father God to become a crossdresser, this prophet’s sense of humor was almost overflowing.

As for Old Man Huang?

This one was even more outrageous. Although the Ancient One’s description was evasive, Tang Qi easily heard the “truth” contained within.

Apparently, a powerful life form from outside the boundless mystery once tried to devour the people sheltered by Old Man Huang.

But after nine days and nights of slaughter, unable to match Old Man Huang, it ended up having its most powerful part cut off.

In simple terms, it was neutered.

Of course, it might really have been “voluntary,” but the process was not certain.

After being neutered, the Ancient God underwent a huge transformation, becoming not only peaceful but also kindly took over the old man’s responsibility, becoming the guardian of a certain epoch in the Eternal Heaven Dynasty?

The old man should have tried putting “Tai Sui” on himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t have issued such a deliberate warning.

It’s not really a warning, more like a malicious temptation, since the essence of life is to defy whatever you’re forbidden from doing.

If not for some time constraints, the Deer God would have already put that thing on himself, and the scene would probably be quite shocking.

In summary, this sage was not honest.

But the old servant, born because of him and parasitizing on a page of the “Secret Scripture of Immortality,” was kind, wise, and passionate.

However, the consecutive appearances of two sages made Tang Qi conceive some thoughts:

“Could it be that my special confrontation with the Supreme Deer God had been foreseen by the sages in advance?”

“If subsequent arrangements are like this, then it can no longer be described as cheating; it’s simply bullying a god, especially a Supreme Divinity.”

“If so, I… I like it very much.”

Just as this mischievous thought flashed through Tang Qi’s mind, the leading Ancient One continued the introduction, revealing the last piece of information.

“Due to the overwhelming might and side effects of this divine artifact, and the high preset price by the consignor, it has remained unsold for many lengthy years.”

“According to the rules, both need to sell the most unsellable divine artifact to the god who needs it the least.”

“It is ultimately determined that the god both inside and outside the boundless mystery who needs it the least is the Ancient God ‘Beast of Hunger’, who initially excised and abandoned it.”

“The Ancient God currently resides within the Source Star, in a special state. We cannot provide a communication channel, and the Supreme Deer God must go there personally.”

“We wish the Deer God success in selling it, the first round of the duel begins officially…”

“Whoosh”

Almost at the moment the Ancient One finished speaking, the Deer God, who had been toying with the divine item called “Tai Sui,” vanished into the nihility.

Before departing, he did not forget to boast:

“Give it up, little thing, whether within the boundless mystery or elsewhere, I, the possessor of absolute authority, am the best salesperson in the Divine Realm.”

“One minute, or less, that guy will definitely want to buy this thing back; I say so.”

Because of this boast, Tang Qi, who was originally about to leave, suddenly paused.

His body froze, filled with curiosity and malicious delight as he directly watched the area where the Supreme Deer God headed.
