Chapter 809: Chapter 678: Tang Qi No. 2
Dream Kingdom, at the border between the Forest of Ignorance and the Desire Plain.
As a terrifying node, the atmosphere here is both mysterious and frightening. Even Amanda and these Dream Natives rarely venture here unless acting collectively.
Tang Qi assigned Amanda, Tyrone, and the fairy the task of clearing low-level nodes. The three major nodes on the mountain peak remain unchecked.
However, at this mont, there have been so astonishing changes here.
The plain, originally filled with a gray haze and cold air, suddenly warms up in a certain area.
Inside, it’s as if one has entered the ultimate spring—a forest, spring water, grassy fields—and nurous Extraordinary Creatures from ancient legends frolic within, everything vibrant and brimming with life.
Primordial Paradise?
No, it’s more like God’s Paradise.
At this mont, Tang Qi stands amidst it all, on a flower-scented adow, surrounded by exuberantly shaped berries. In front of him stands a large, peculiar structure.
It consists of a long fireplace, curved test tubes, a crystal box, and other items, each covered with the emblematic mysterious symbols of Flora, the “Goddess of Life and Desire.” The crystal box, the key component, is filled with clear, phosphorescent liquid.
Standing before this freshly erged Curios, Tang Qi’s eyes naturally emit a ghostly light.
[Curios: Flora’s Box.]
[State: Normal.]
[Information Fragnt One: Also known as the “Life Box,” this Curios is a tool used by Flora to create loyal followers and special playthings. Its function is to create bodies and, with the addition of special elents, produce short-lived life forms.]
[Information Fragnt Two: The life it creates can be customized by the user, but its operation requires Divine Power and must take place within God’s Paradise.]
…
There is much more information, like a detailed instruction manual.
However, Tang Qi lacks the patience to read it word by word. With a fleeting thought, he quickly digests the manual.
His gaze falls on the crystal box covered in mysterious runes, and he directly reaches out a hand. Under his control, his fingertip splits open automatically, a drop of crimson blood seeping out, detached from his finger, and dropping into the box due to gravity.
Plop!
The mont Tang Qi’s blood makes contact with the Life Essence, an incredible transformation takes place.
Flora’s Box emits an extrely pleasant chanical sound as the mysterious symbols representing life, body, and fertility covering this special Curios illuminate, rging together to burst forth with dazzling brilliance that is impossible to look at directly.
Inside the crystal box, the “Life Birth” process is visible to the naked eye. Beginning with a single drop of blood, it spawns veins, bones, organs… eventually, a body identical to Tang Qi’s appears inside the box.
Boom! Hiss!
Amid warm, turbid steam, a young man with a nearly perfect body, black hair, and black eyes slowly steps out from the opened Life Box.
On a adow of candy-colored grass, Tang Qi gazes at the youth before him, identical to himself, and an odd sensation swells within him.
In his mind, thoughts pulse with each idea. It seems “Second Tang Qi” begins to blink, clench his fist, and kick his legs on his own, without any delay, as if Tang Qi himself is performing these actions.
However, it seems the short birth duration of Second Tang Qi leaves his eyes void of expression.
“This feeling… it’s like having an extra hand or leg, an extension of my body. Unlike the Second Body Secret dicine used long ago in sser City, it’s yet to be complete—missing one procedure.”
As he mutters to himself, Tang Qi directly controls Second Tang Qi to approach him.
Then, he raises a finger, first casting the “Soul Splitting Spell” on himself, separating a pure Soul Fragnt that is transferred into Second Tang Qi’s body.
Almost instantly, the stiffness and dullness of Second Tang Qi dissipate, liveliness and genuineness erging.
On the adow, it’s as if there are truly two Tang Qis now.
The sa expression surfaces on both faces.
First, they seriously feel the sensation, then their mouths simultaneously curve upward as they both begin to speak: “Experint initially successful, next proceed to energy infusion.”
The overlapping sounds resound as Tang Qi directly activates the Molten Furnace Eye.
Boom!
Since Tang Qi beca the Sovereign of the Dream Kingdom, the “Molten Furnace Flas” dormant within him have been looking for an outlet to gush out. A scarlet and golden passageway appears between the two Tang Qis.
Compared to Tang Qi’s current power, the Molten Furnace Flas are still at the “lter Wizard” level, lacking entry into the Great Wizard grade. And because of Tang Qi’s initial caution, he hasn’t exchanged for any witchcraft related to lter Wizards.
The sole ans is the Molten Furnace Eye.
At this mont, the scarlet-gold Light Flas surge into “Second Tang Qi,” including the Molten Furnace Eye.
Tang Qi is stripping all powers related to lter Wizards from his body and allocating them to Second Tang Qi. As those Light Flas pour in, Second Tang Qi’s eyes begin to radiate brilliance, his entire body glowing as golden flas drip down like liquid.
It resembles my forr self… Tang Qi, who lost all Molten Furnace Flas, felt no trace of void or loss, just looked at his other self with curious eyes.
Two Tang Qis!
Or more precisely: he crafted a perfect doppelgänger indistinguishable from the real.
This marked the beginning of Tang Qi’s mad plan, after he’d been shalessly set up by the “Master of the Crucible”. From that mont, a vague idea ford in his mind.
After eting that down-and-out painter, the idea gradually crystalized as, due to being “All-Knowing”, he was forced to oppose a trendously powerful, mysterious species. Tang Qi decided to turn his idea into reality.
“Since this scapegoat can’t be shaken off, I’ll just carry it, and utilize this well-known identity to attract the attention of all enemies, including the ‘Lord of Light’ and ‘Origin Divine Race’.”
“This doppelgänger will replace the real , seek death as much as possible, and draw as much fire… who is more skilled at seeking death than the lter Wizards?”
As thoughts ran wild, Tang Qi Two had completely digested the Molten Furnace Flas.
Like a “Light Man”, he stood before Tang Qi.
Then, under his control, Tang Qi Two slowly extended his hands. In the next mont, they dipped slightly, revealing an object in his palms.
The object was a crystal.
Its shape was unmistakably a miniaturized Devouring Beast, about the size of a human’s head, a red sphere with a bright red mouth opening in the center, and threadlike tentacles dangling down.
Even Tang Qi, looking at it, instantly felt an intense burst of light so blinding it nearly rendered him blind.
“Extraordinary Artifact: Devouring Divinity, a Divine Attribute Crystal containing the ‘Power of Devouring’…”
This divine artifact was forcibly extracted by Tang Qi from the body of a real Devouring Beast.
Composed of refined soul essences, it could serve as an excellent sacrifice, offered to the Master of the Crucible.
However, initially, Tang Qi didn’t want the Master of the Crucible to slide deeper into madness, so he refrained from doing so.
Now, since the Crucible had undertaken self-relief, seemingly trying a strategy of rebirth, Tang Qi lost his scruples.
“To court death without really dying, and lead a bunch of lter Wizards in doing so, requires considerable power. Low-level lter Wizards or even higher-grade Great Wizards aren’t qualified.”
“To start with, perhaps the level of lting Furnace Priest will suffice, as I will have a considerable number of subordinates, I’ll lead them to emulate the forerunners of the Dark Era before…”
“Sacrifice!”
While Tang Qi was still mumbling, under his control, Tang Qi Two was already holding the crystal and had directly cast the Sacrifice thod.
The witchcraft cast, Tang Qi’s curious and concentrated gaze imdiately focused.
“Does the crucible, collectively sealed by the gods, still have the authority to receive sacrifices?”
This doubt had just ford when it was imdiately answered.
Silently, a vast, inexhaustible golden fla erged from nihility more slowly than before, forming the Molten Furnace Array. Then gradually, a golden portal was produced, with mighty power issuing forth from it, engulfing the crystal in Tang Qi Two’s hands into the dark universe beyond the portal.
The process was slow yet resolute.
“As expected, although terrified by the madness of the Crucible, the gods sealed it at the universe’s depths, leaving it to perish on its own, they still left a crevice for receiving sacrifices.”
As Tang Qi mused, he suddenly sensed sothing.
Through “Tang Qi Two,” he sensed the great will within the sealed crucible. As the portal opened and it noticed the inflexible lter Wizard Tang Qi was the sacrificer, it first transmitted anger, which almost made Tang Qi think it wanted to roar at him.
But soon, it sensed the “Devouring Crystal.”
As if fearing Tang Qi would change his mind, it quickly took the crystal and imdiately pulled his consciousness into the “ruins of darkness.”
Separated by a screen, the scene Tang Qi saw was not as clear as before, appearing sowhat blurred.
But he could still see the incredibly fierce and scorching flas gather, beginning to form one Sun rit after another, their final quantity far beyond Tang Qi’s imagination.
As his Soul Fragnt descended into the ruins of darkness, Tang Qi’s perception beca slightly delayed.
So at this mont, he couldn’t help but question.
In the dark void, were the ticulously arrayed Sun rits, still gathering, real?
It took several seconds for the last Sun to condense.
Within Tang Qi’s heart, an unbelievable number appeared.
“Twenty-eight!”
Tang Qi, almost dazed by the sun’s radiance, suddenly felt a sense of newfound wealth.
