"The Giant Beast Containment Foundation is a rather mysterious organization, with the goal of containing various giant beasts. Although its members are few and far inferior to organizations like the World Tree and the Ancient Mystical Vault, each member of this organization seems to possess formidable strength and extraordinary origins."

"Indeed, it even includes members from Exotic Realm Races."

"This mechanical, bizarre-shaped facsimile machine, for example, originates from an exotic planet called 'Yasha Star.'"

Unknown to Tang Qi, Rose Madeline had again positioned herself in front of him, ready to clarify his doubts.

After informing Tang Qi about what kind of organization the "Giant Beast Containment Foundation" was, she looked up at the topmost paper, noted the "request for help" after the second mysterious event, and read the description given by the surviving team.

Rose pondered for two seconds, then responded, "According to the description, it is likely an 'Andotura,' a giant beast that grows by absorbing magma energy. There must be an entrance leading to the underground on that mysterious island."

"Andotura are difficult to kill; they are a type of giant beast documented since the Age of Ignorance, but are sparsely recorded throughout the Dark Era for some reason... However, as far as I know, Andotura are quite friendly to humans and generally do not attack humans."

"Unless that exploration team did something excessive."

Listening to the mystical knowledge that even he was unaware of spilling effortlessly from Rose's lips, Tang Qi was first startled, then could not conceal the admiration on his face.

Indeed, beneath great renown, there usually are no weaklings.

Though previously, when facing "Howard Roland," Rose Madeline was targeted harshly and had to seek help from Tang Qi.

But that was because Howard precisely exploited Rose's weaknesses. She didn't have real combat power, and before Howard revealed his true identity, he disguised himself in hypocrisy, directly confining Rose in Lovcek 426, rendering most of her means ineffective.

Now, she was subtly showing the elegance of a superb "polymath."

At this moment, Tang Qi also had a rough idea of what kind of job his good friend held.

"Simply put, Rose serves in over a dozen Extraordinary Organizations covering most areas of the Origin Star, including Divine Eagle Federation, of which the most famous are the World Tree, Ancient Mystical Vault, and the Bright Church, amongst others more mysterious."

"Like the Giant Beast Containment Foundation. Before she explained it, I didn't even know this foundation existed."

"Her position is that of a consultant, and her job involves using her vast knowledge in mysticism to provide consultation to these organizations."

"That 'Andotura' that even the specialized foundation for containing giant beasts did not know about, Rose identified it immediately just based on the description of the surviving team members."

"Unless something unexpected happens, she can definitely catch up to predecessors, including 'David Finch,' and is likely to become the first Great Polymath of the Divine Eagle Federation in the new era."

Tang Qi sincerely showed a look of admiration, feeling very optimistic about Rose Madeline's future achievements.

Rose seemed to perceive Tang Qi's thoughts, giving a confident smile, and as if recalling the time they spent discussing, she directly said, "Part of the knowledge I possess is due to this consulting job, where I provide consultation to various institutions and organizations; in return, they feed me some valuable knowledge and information."

"With your knowledge base, you are well-qualified for a similar job. I recommend you try it, those mysterious organizations collect information covering all major regions of the Origin Star, and the consolidated information flow can greatly benefit any 'polymath' in their cultivation."

"Also, if you're willing, I can introduce you to my teacher, who is one of the 'All Spirits' above the Mysterious, a true Sage and an ancient Observer who knows everything and maintains permanent neutrality."

"If you gain His recognition, you can learn knowledge from Him without any cost. As the oldest of 'All Spirits,' my teacher's knowledge in mysticism even surpasses most Dominator-level gods."

As Rose uttered her last sentence, Tang Qi's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He felt Rose Madeline's great trust in him. In the Transcendent World of the Federation, it had been speculated who the "Mrs. Loring" truly worships among the mysterious ancient gods, but due to Rose's secrecy, the question remained unanswered.

Now, not only had Rose revealed this to Tang Qi, but she also planned to introduce him.

From her description, that extremely mysterious "Ancient God" seems to be a permanently neutral deity possessing boundless mystical knowledge.

To be recognized... to learn knowledge freely!

Most polymaths probably couldn't resist such an offer.

However, after pondering for a few seconds, Tang Qi's face showed a hint of regret, and he chose to decline.

Indeed, he is a "polymath," but unlike purely academic polymaths like Rose Madeline or David Finch, Tang Qi's main drive for accumulating and learning knowledge is mostly to satisfy his desire "to become powerful."

Tang Qi is curious about the vast knowledge of mysticism, but only curiously so, unlike Rose Madeline, a researcher determined to become a Great Polymath, who not only is curious but also seeks to explore, experiment, and pursue the truth.

Of course, his key reason for refusal is that he's not yet ready to face another powerful deity, one without any weaknesses.

Even if this Ancient God seems harmless.

But out of caution, Tang Qi had to decline.

"While they say the more debts, the less worry, in the past, I've dealt mostly with incomplete gods, with the most powerful being 'Lord of Light,' who was in a weakened state while the main hostility was usurped by Rafael, giving me time to sneakily develop."

Once he made up his mind, Tang Qi looked behind Rose Madeline at the nearly mountainous pile of books.

A touch of excitement appeared on his face.

"Let's start!"

"Okay"

Rose's tone was even more excited.

Three days later, in the study behind the Dawn Wooden Door at Madeline Manor.

Tang Qi sat at the desk, savoring the refreshments brought by the old woman Grace, while three little guys, along with the old butler Faber, these ghosts, were placing books back in their original positions under Grace's direction.

Opposite him, Rose Madeline had her eyes tightly closed.

Floating in front of her was a Curiosity, "Knowledge Seeker", with several names now written on the previously blank sheets of paper, a quill suspended above.

Those names were the results of Tang Qi and Rose's three days of efforts.

The pair were about to undertake a mad venture, selecting a "weak god" as their experimental subject to help Tang Qi research the nature of gods and how one could become one of them.

Naturally, both were choosing gods from chaotic, Evil Camps.

Now that the initial list was confirmed, Rose Madeline was conducting the first round of selection, a very straightforward and crude choice.

She was communicating with her mentor, the "Ancient Observer", confirming the current state of the gods on the list.

Although being "Permanently Neutral," He would selflessly share knowledge with his followers.

And the conditions of the gods, naturally, also accounted for mystical knowledge.

Just as Tang Qi swallowed the first sip of ghostly coffee, the quill moved.

It moved upwards, and with a "swoosh", a name on the very top was crossed out directly.

Instantly, familiar corresponding information emerged in Tang Qi's eyes.

The first candidate name, provided by him:

God Crow Ledor, an Evil God Tang Qi had encountered early on, who once killed a fanatic follower with 'judgement', and most importantly, he had obtained a Crow God Statue, which gave him a chance to capture Him.

Rose confirmed after checking information that the name of the Crow God is indeed Ledor, a god without much fame and not particularly powerful.

Unfortunately, He was ruled out first.

The reason also appeared on the paper:

"Crow God did not participate in the Dark Age Catastrophe War, He is evil, diseased, very cautious, always hiding in His own realm. He can be summoned and attacked sneakily, but it's highly unlikely that His true form could be summoned."

"Source Star, although it suppresses any descending gods, does not weaken the strong Crow God, who, even suppressed, is more than capable of killing any beings below a god."

"A truly malevolent god, no wonder He has lived so long."

Tang Qi muttered, while the quill suddenly skipped the second name and crossed out the third candidate.

He didn't look at the name crossed out third but at the remaining candidate gods.

The second, still provided by him:

"Doll God Bolas, an Evil God with clear records, who became a god in the mid Dark Era, and passionate to collect dolls, the stronger the doll, the less He can resist His desire."

"Soon after His divinity, because of a sneak attack on a Demigod-level Death God servant and turned it into a doll, he was pursued for a hundred years by that servant's worshipped true Death God 'Jos'."

"According to the book 'The Kind Death God, Jos' from the Dark Era, Bolas eventually was severely injured by Jos, and went into concealed slumber."

"Only until recently, information from various organizations showed… Bolas, who had slumbered through the Great Catastrophe, has reawakened on the West Coast in several major cities, a number of Evil Transcendents skilled in manufacturing dolls appeared, highly suspected to be followers of Bolas."

"The newly awakened Bolas must be in a weakened state, and compared to other highly intelligent Evil Gods, Bolas, upon seeing a High-level Transcendent that can be made into a doll, cannot contain His desire, and even at His peak, Bolas wasn't considered a powerful god."

"With a cleverly set trap, there is a reasonable chance of successful capture."
