Chapter 636: Chapter 177 Three Ceremonies_1

"—Damn, this is some good stuff!"

"—I don’t mean anything by it, but I think the original poster should disable anonymity first."

"—OP, make me change!"

"—Wait, wait... Does this mean you can also transform into a ’futanari’...?"

"—Futanari out, futanari out."

"—No, seriously, isn’t the Goddess of Cup too sensual?"

"—Why are you saying no, are you tempted? If you’re tempted, just go for it, bear bro."

Seeing the information posted by Lin Yiyi, the forum instantly turned into a mess.

Initially, players didn’t particularly care about this sort of thing.

But the existence of Husky, it was as if a brand new door to a bizarre world had opened for them...

To be honest, it was a bit tempting.

After all, this was like their second life.

Not to mention changing genders, even changing races wouldn’t affect their lives—like Defu, who still hadn’t changed back to this day.

This was undoubtedly a brand new life experience.

Although players used to not care much, they occasionally envied the unique and novel experiences of Defu and Husky.

But after all, when they entered the game, they didn’t make those "overly bold choices," and now it was too late for regrets.

However, just now, players suddenly heard... that this world actually had rituals that could freely change one’s gender?

Coupling that with previous rumors about rituals that could alter one’s appearance—wasn’t this just like a fantasy elixir for creating a character anew?

As for the cost and difficulty, players have always overlooked them.

—As long as the materials could be obtained through normal activities, the hardcore players simply wouldn’t consider the consumption issue.

Even according to player habits, they might stockpile a set of materials for such high-level rituals as a unit of hard currency—like "a bottle of fantasy elixir."

This type of thing, players would never think of as too much.

...So you guys like this stuff, huh?

Annan suddenly realized upon seeing the players’ overwhelmingly enthusiastic attitude.

—Indeed.

While players couldn’t buy skins or appearances in this world, face designing items were still an evergreen luxury.

"...But I need to remind them when I have a moment," Annan murmured, furrowing his brow.

If the Goddess of Cup’s ritual was more convenient and less costly than Mr. Radiance and the Moth Mother’s rituals, then why would the other two ritual’s legacies still exist?

The ritual to change one’s gender was of the same difficulty as the ritual for mortals to extend their lives.

—This wasn’t to say it was particularly difficult, but rather that it was relatively simple.

The ritual of the Solar domain was named [Reshape the Solar Body]. This ritual required a special, somewhat expensive flower. It involved performing a simple ritual at a fixed time each day, to personally collect sunlight from the morning sun, noon sun, and evening sun over the course of twelve months, accumulating thirty-six types of sunlight.

In the end, the person must do thirty-six good deeds in one day, then consume the flower that stored the sunlight—one petal with each praise of the sun—before sunset.

After that, the ritualist would dream of being in the furnace of the sun. After intense burning, they would wake up to find themselves with a significantly healthy male body.

It’s worth mentioning that even men can perform this ritual.

It allows men who have grown old and lost their vitality to regain the ability to procreate, revitalize a weak and disease-ridden body... and even grant an unexercised thirty-year-old the robust physique of someone who eats standards meals and exercises diligently every day, in an instant.

Some ritualists in their thirties who were just preparing to enter the Transcendent world would perform this ritual for themselves. They’d prefer to first exchange their bodies, weakened by daily studying and cursed erosion, for one that is healthy and strong—much more cost-effective than starting to exercise from scratch, while also deleting any hidden illnesses that hadn’t yet manifested.

The Moth Mother’s ritual was named [Dreaming Dead Butterfly]. This ritual had a degree of danger—it didn’t need expensive materials like Mr. Radiance’s ritual, but instead simply required some common ritual materials and the permission and voluntary blood of ten female friends or relatives.

These ten people must have a certain relationship with the ritualist. For example, teacher and student, mother and child, father and daughter, classmates, or comrades-in-arms... This relationship must have lasted for at least ten months.

Then each person pricked one of their fingers and, using the blood, wrote down his true name on any part of the person’s body. The fingers used by the ten people could not be repeated, meaning all ten fingers would be covered.

Afterward, the Ritualist’s ten fingers needed to be cut off by an assistant with the same pair of scissors; the process could not be anesthetized, nor could the bleeding be stopped. The Ritualist was then to be fed a special secret medicine and placed in incense to be rendered unconscious.

Subsequently, the Ritualist would temporarily lose their own memory, finding themselves in a random dreamscape constructed from the experiences of the ten "supporters."

For every nightmare the Ritualist identified as false, realizing that their memory and existence were fabricated and committing suicide in the dream, one of their finger wounds would close—the wound would no longer bleed but would emit grey sinewy threads made of flesh and blood.

As long as they successfully navigated the ten layers of nightmares before dying of blood loss, they would be wrapped into a "cocoon" by the grey threads. After the cocoon was quietly placed for ten days, a sixteen-year-old girl would emerge from it—her appearance not her own, but an amalgamation of the traits of the ten supporters, completely discarding all her original features... as though she had become the shared child of these ten people.

However, unlike Mr. Radiance’s ritual, this ritual could not be used by women.

Because the essence of Mr. Radiance’s ritual was to reshape a healthy body.

Whereas this ritual could achieve the effect of reversing aging.

The Mothmother is the deity of decomposition and procreation.

She is particularly adept at rituals involving rebirth. If women want to reverse aging, they need to use another specialized ritual.

Of course... in principle, it is allowed to switch between these two rituals to become a girl whose "age changes periodically."

But that does not hold much significance... Life-extending rituals are not difficult. Only life extension for the royal family is prohibited.

Those of the Gold rank die not because their lifespans run out, but because they have burned out their souls.

However, if the Ritualist has not achieved the Silver rank and obtained a pure soul before conducting a life-extending ritual... their soul will then begin to decay.

This stench will attract the Bell Ringer. The stronger the stench, the quicker the Bell Ringer arrives.

Compared to these two rituals, the Goddess of Cup’s ritual "Drunkenness of Great Sin" is a bit more troublesome.

The indescribable ritual process itself is not the issue... The key is that all participants in this ritual will undergo a series of random changes.

Generally, the direction of the changes will relate to the desires they hold. But it’s entirely uncontrollable—just as one cannot perfectly control their desires.

The true purpose of this ritual is actually "to become more beautiful." But after each awakening, everyone usually finds the outcome somewhat different from their initial intention, though generally satisfying.

For a woman who adores girls, she might become a handsome man, or possibly a striking woman, or scariest of all, a woman with male traits—and someone worried about being assassinated might end up with an extra heart; someone who feels overwhelmed may sprout an additional set of "proliferating arms."

Similarly, one might develop "eyes in the hands" or "eyes at the back of the head," or undergo drastic and abnormal changes in body shape and height.

This deformation guided by desire is precisely what the Goddess of Cup enjoys seeing—it can also be said to be the consequence of overindulging desires. Of course, the person involved might not think of it as punishment...

If it’s the first two rituals, Annan doesn’t think there will be any problems.

"Reshape the Solar Body" is nothing more than signing in on time every day.

And the danger of "Dreaming Dead Butterfly" simply does not exist for players.

But "Drunkenness of Great Sin" is different.

—Who knows what might happen.

The mutations resulting from this ritual cannot be cured. Because they are not "imperfections" or "diseases," but a state of absolute health. To change back, one must fundamentally change their desires and then participate in the ritual again...

"...However, it seems a certain level of prediction is possible," Annan suddenly remembered something.

Come to think of it, Salvatore seemed to have a magic mirror.

It could reflect one’s soul essence...

Combined with this ritual, maybe some strange "race" could be conjured up.

Watching the players discuss with great enthusiasm, Annan opened his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitated.

—This time it really isn’t me tricking you guys.

This is truly voluntary on your part...

I’ll just stop anyone whose XP is too weird from participating in the ritual...

...For the sake of world peace.
