Galactic Exchange: The Merchant Sovereign - Chapter 10: Of Beans, Shadows, and Smugglers

In the dawn of existence, the cosmos was a silent, empty canvas until the Mighty Celestial breathed life into the void, scattering seeds of creation across stars and planets. But from the shadows emerged the Anti-Life Entity—a ravenous parasite, the inverse of all design, consuming every living thing in its path.To protect the last bastion of life, Earth, the Constellar Entities, rulers of the grand design, were dispatched. These powerful beings, accustomed to cosmic command, found themselves with an “unacceptable” mission: guarding humanity. Among them, Triangulum, weary of this mundane task, plots his reincarnation. He has amassed forbidden knowledge, weaving a spell to shatter Earth's protective shield, inviting the very forces they were sent to repel.Yet, every move is anticipated by Orion, the Constellars' master strategist. Though they cannot wield their true power without a human conduit, Orion chooses Xerxez as his mortal vessel. Together, they confront Triangulum's dark magic, but the threat deepens when Xerxez's own son, Maximus, becomes the unwilling host for Draco, the Constellars' most formidable foe.Now, Xerxez faces an impossible choice: how can he defeat a cosmic evil when it wears the face of his own son?

This is the story of a person who transmigrated into a world with a radically different worldview.

So different, in fact, that he is considered a female in that world!

Cheng Nuo: What? Why did you say that I’m female?

Author: You only have one Tintin. The males of this world have two Tintins.

Cheng Nuo: No way! My hands are itchy… I want to cut one off!
