Chapter 441: Trading Is Asking Questions, How to Become a Supergod

Antares really can't think of any good thing to use for a trade.

Jiang Chen raised his question, saying, "I have a few questions; could you answer them for me? Of course, that can also be part of the trade."

He thought for a moment, then put forward his own request.

To Jiang Chen, any item that he doesn't lack has no value.

He understands the principle that the scarcer something is, the higher its value—just as a person dying of thirst in the Desert values water far above gold.

Now Jiang Chen is in that situation; for him, anything he doesn't lack holds no value.

Since Antares demands an equal exchange but can't produce anything, Jiang Chen naturally doesn't hold back in stating his own demand.

He has many doubts in his mind, perhaps he can get answers from Antares.

Antares lifts his eyelids, a hint of disinterest, and says, "Ask away."

Jiang Chen asks, "Can the wild beasts of the desolate wasteland be killed? How can they be killed?"

Antares seems sparked by Jiang Chen's question, "Have you been to the wasteland?" Jiang Chen nods, "I was there during Second Transcendence."

Antares laughs, "Your teacher was bold; weren't they afraid of encountering the King of the Wild Beasts?"

Jiang Chen replies, "We did indeed encounter it."

Antares's voice deepens, "It seems your luck is good—meeting the King of the Wild Beasts and living to return. The beasts can indeed be killed, and it's not difficult."

"As long as your power reaches Divine Level and the purity is sufficient, you can kill the beasts."

Jiang Chen shakes his head, "But my teacher is already Level 95; he can only repel the"

"wild beasts; even inflicting a wound is difficult."

"Ha! A bunch of trash— even at Level 99 they're still trash. I've answered that question; next."

Jiang Chen has already memorized the answer: the purity must be sufficient.

He recalls that Ao Hongchen finally wounded a wild beast by using the power of killing intent.

Now Ao Hongchen has further insight, seemingly raising the purity of the killing intent.

The two should be the same concept.

Jiang Chen continues, "I have a skill that can summon an Elemental Lich using elemental materials. But when I summon an Elemental Lich with Mythological Class materials, it self‑detonates!"

Regarding this issue, Jiang Chen has a hypothesis.

But it's better to verify; he's not certain his guess is correct.

Antares's interest grows, "Oh? That happens too? Show me a demonstration."

Jiang Chen immediately produces a chunk of solidified Fire God Essence Blood.

A scream rings from overhead, the scream tinged with anger.

The Ancient Luan Bird snarls at Jiang Chen, as if saying, "That belongs to me."

Antares glances at the Ancient Luan Bird, "Little Black, be quiet; there's plenty of this stuff underground."

Hearing Antares, the Ancient Luan Bird reluctantly quiets, but its eyes remain full of displeasure.

Jiang Chen activates the skill; flames shoot upward, and a Divine Level aura spreads.

A flame‑wreathed Lich bearing Divine Level aura appears beside him.

The flames on the flame Lich are powerful and chaotic, quickly turning violent.

Jiang Chen immediately sends it running toward the distance; it will self‑detonate instantly.

Before it takes two steps, Antares lightly lifts a claw.

A massive claw descends from the sky, grabbing

the flame Lich in its hand.

Boom!

A few seconds later, the flame Lich self‑detonates in Antares's claw.

But none of the detonation energy spills out, and Antares's gaze doesn't change at all.

That tiny amount of detonation energy is not even enough for it to scratch an itch.

Jiang Chen once again witnesses its overwhelming strength, beyond imagination.

After the detonation, a flame Lich restored to Platinum Tier flies back.

The flame Lich's self‑detonation isn't suicide; it merely releases uncontrollable energy.

Antares whispers, "The power is passable, barely reaching Level 90; by your Human Race's standards, that's Pseudo‑God level."

Jiang Chen also thinks it's about that level.

He looks at Antares, hoping for a definitive answer.

Antares continues, "The reason for the self‑detonation is that the skill's level is too low while the material's level is too high. That's why a Mythological Class weapon must be Level 70 and completed after Third Transcendence before it can be used."

With that answer, Jiang Chen feels reassured.

Once he reaches Level 70, he can summon a flame Lich with Divine Power Level 5 strength.

Then he'll be qualified to confront some weak Demon Kings head‑on.

But now…

If he can obtain enough solidified Fire God Essence Blood, combined with a Bone Prison.

Even if he can only control it for half a second, it still seems doable.

A bold idea springs to Jiang Chen's mind…

Antares asks, "Any more questions?"

Jiang Chen immediately says, "Can the Fusishi Jie corpse toxin be neutralized?"

Antares's eyes show surprise again, "You even know about Fusishi Jie?"

It

I find the experience of this little fellow before me is overly abundant, even some Divine-level Strongmen are less so.

Jiang Chen said, "I went there once, almost died inside."

Antares exclaimed in shock, "You actually went there again?"

It leaned in again, took a deep breath beside Jiang Chen, then stared at him fixedly, "No, you not only went, but also reached the Life Secret Realm."

"You carry the scent of Fusishi, and also the aura of Life divine power."

"Let me think…"

Its gaze seemed to pierce Jiang Chen's spirit world, with a hint of doubt, "Did you obtain the Creation Scepter?"

Jiang Chen knew he couldn't hide it; ever since mentioning Fusishi Jie, he never thought to conceal it from it.

A flash of White Light, and the Creation Scepter appeared in his hand.

Antares, seeing the Creation Scepter, erupted in a thunderous laugh, "How hilarious, letting you bunch of trash fight for life and death, vying for some divine seat of the God of Life."

"In the end, a total collapse—everyone died inside, just deserts!"

Jiang Chen watched Antares' endless laughter, and indeed it knew the events of those years clearly.

Moreover, from its words one can hear that even the Creation Scepter, the divine seat of the God of Life, it despises greatly.

A bold speculation suddenly arose in Jiang Chen's mind.

The Creation Scepter can help Divine-level Strongmen become Super God Level, yet even that it looks down upon.

What kind of existence is Super God Level in Antares' eyes?

Could it be that it is stronger than a Super God?

Antares, having finished laughing, continued, "I can answer that: Fusishi toxin has no cure; once poisoned, even a Divine-level Strongman will die."

"And also, the stronger the poisoned

one, the more potent the Fusishi toxin becomes."

"That forbidden Skill is enough to annihilate all beings below Super God Level."

Jiang Chen did not expect Antares to give such an answer.

Is Fusishi toxin truly incurable?

But the Lich General clearly neutralized Fusishi toxin.

Once the Lich General's rank rises, even Divine-level Fusishi toxin should be neutralizable.

"Is it because I'm special, or because the undead Skeletons are special?"

Jiang Chen thought to himself that he did not reveal that his Lich General can neutralize Fusishi toxin.

Jiang Chen also realized that Antares is not all‑knowing.

There are things it does not know.

Antares said, "You managed to return alive from Fusishi Jie, which is a stroke of heavenly luck; since your luck is so great, I'll let you ask a few more questions."

Jiang Chen asked, "Can the dead be revived?"

"Yes!"

Antares replied confidently, "Can't you? I can sense that you have a Soul Mark; your soul is linked to a certain place. Before you reach Divine Level, as long as the soul does not perish, after death the soul will return there, allowing resurrection."

Jiang Chen caught the point, "What about after Divine Level?"

"Also possible!" Antares continued, "After Divine Level, the soul returns to itself, the mark disappears automatically. After death, resurrection becomes troublesome, but not impossible."

"Just like that Jiang Yi, doesn't he want to resurrect?"

"Unfortunately, his rank is too high—level 98, Half-step Super God."

"Heh, only the True Self in the whole world has the ability to resurrect him."

Jiang Chen finally understood; it turns out Jiang Yi and Antares

…'s transaction was for resurrection.

It was precisely preserving that sliver of hope that Jiang Yi kept his soul, surviving to this day.

However, Jiang Yi's resurrection is not bad; now the Human Race gains another Half-step Super God, which is good for the Human Race.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and asked another question, "How can one become a Super God?"
