Chapter 659: Chapter 397:
The next morning, Xue Dili did not sleep; he spent a lot of time preparing for the battle, even if it was a direct confrontation on an Apostle’s home planet.
Despite choosing the most secure and also most despicable approach, Xue Dili still felt unsafe and started researching the Gender Transformation Potion the whole night.
This is the world’s most unique concoction, and it’s something Xue Dili had to face as soon as he arrived, almost turning him and Susu into good sisters because of it.
Even from Xue Dili’s perspective, this thing seemed unreasonable because the materials required to transform a male into a complete female fairy were surprisingly simple.
According to Faust’s records, the Gender Transformation Potion could be produced by any small workshop, and once consumed, the male would irreversibly turn into a young boy.
Isn’t this a bit too strange and too fast?
Xue Dili knew that there are many species and beings in the cosmos capable of changing gender, but humans are definitely not among them.
In all the cosmos, those humanoids evolving towards the Venerable King surely couldn’t possess such an odd group.
According to Faust’s records, such a thing as the Gender Transformation Potion did not exist in this world before.
The creator of the Gender Transformation Potion was Mephisto.
And when Xue Dili tried separating and purifying the Cursed Blood, he discovered that the Gender Transformation Potion was essentially a strange liquid mixed with blood, containing almost no traces of magic.
Yet, this non-magical concoction could effortlessly change the gender of the local population, not resembling the essence of magic comprehension, but more akin to a higher-level existence, like a rule.
It’s comparable to directly changing an entity’s gender from male to female in the background, almost seamlessly.
This was why Xue Dili spent the whole night researching and couldn’t find any clues.
"Bro, what are you doing?" Susu, whose stomach was growling with hunger after waking up, immediately grabbed a piece of bread and started munching while looking at Xue Dili with curiosity.
"I’m studying the connection between the Gender Transformation Potion and World Consciousness, as well as the combined testing between the Gender Transformation Potion, Mephisto, and World Consciousness. Haven’t you noticed? We’ve been in this world for days but have never felt the presence of World Consciousness," said Xue Dili.
"Uh, seems so. Generally, there should be beings like Margaret on a Life Planet, right?" Susu asked.
"From my experience, yes. A planet with life always has World Consciousness, which is a common phenomenon. Even if there’s no World Consciousness, there’s usually an entity taking on its duties, such as a Divine Tree in World Tree form," he explained.
"And this world surely has World Consciousness; after all, Mephisto essentially comes from Earth as a transmigrator, yet it was captured by this world. But neither Faust nor we have discovered the World Consciousness here," Xue Dili took a deep breath and separated the Gender Transformation Potion’s material, saying,
"Now, this illogical potion seems to be a rule of the world, a work of World Consciousness," Xue Dili said, then peeled off other materials from the potion, casually adding some plants and wood ash.
When a newly blended potion appeared in his hand, Xue Dili went outside, randomly caught a male bird, and fed it with the new Gender Transformation Potion, which had no effect.
Yet yesterday, when Xue Dili casually knocked out a noble male from the Alben family, secretly dragged him back and fed him the randomly mixed Gender Transformation Potion, his body immediately started transforming into a female, seemingly about to tear his clothes apart at the chest.
It left Susu dumbfounded.
Now, Xue Dili began recording the rules of the Gender Transformation Potion.
1. The Gender Transformation Potion does not contain any traces of magic.
2. The Gender Transformation Potion only affects human males.
3. Males consuming the Gender Transformation Potion are indistinguishable from females and can conceive.
4. The Gender Transformation Potion does not degrade organs but rather twists them towards female characteristics, achieving transformation in a short time.
5. Post-consumption, castrated males quickly transform into females within 30 minutes to 2 hours, whereas non-castrated ones takes about 5 to 7 hours.
6. The potion causes secondary sexual characteristics to grow aberrantly.
...
After recording these points, Xue Dili had an extremely bold idea.
"The source of gender transformation is actually World Consciousness; it consciously forces all males to change into females, though the reason remains unknown," Xue Dili said.
"The root of chaos in this world doesn’t seem to lie with the Apostle, but within the world itself," Xue Dili concluded.
At this moment, Susu was full of questions and couldn’t understand what Xue Dili was talking about. She looked at the bread on the table and decided to eat first.
"It’s fine. Just keep eating," Xue Dili said.
"Oh."
Meanwhile, as Xue Dili’s research reached a bottleneck, the entire Alben family began to bustle, with many servants and even family members busy preparing some venue.
"Hurry up, hurry up! The supreme Lord God will be attending our Alben family’s festival today; we must prepare quickly! We can’t lose face in front of Lord God!" an elder excitedly exclaimed.
