Chapter 326 The power of five overlord-level secret contracts converges! Xia Fa's first extraor
Chapter 326 The power of five overlord-level secret contracts converges! Xia Fa's first extraordinary transformation!
The campfire crackled and burned in the darkness, emitting a single bright yellow light, and a little warmth drove away the cold, spreading out little by little.
Just then, the young miner looked in their direction with his faceless, egg-shaped face, and the searchlight on his miner's hat shone on him as well.
Then He saw Shaphat, and saw his tall, strong figure and his handsome, masculine face, like that of an ancient Greek sculpture.
The young miner was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes as if he doubted that he was seeing things, before looking at them again.
"Wait, something's not right—"
He rubbed his eyes again, even though there was nothing there, and then looked over a third time.
This time, the young miner finally figured something out, but because of it, he almost froze by the campfire, as if petrified.
Seeing this, Xia Fa could only smile and greet him, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see my foot!"
The young miner suddenly started complaining loudly, then said, "It's only been three days! How come you're here again? Have you finished understanding the [Miracle Fantasy]? Have you found the [Proof of Eternity] and successfully absorbed it?"
But immediately, He seemed to see the small vortexes around Xia Fa's body again.
These small vortexes are not under Xia Fa's control; some contain constantly circulating space, while others contain constantly circulating time.
This startled the young miner, who completely lost his composure.
Even though His face had no facial features, anyone could sense His indescribable and unparalleled shock.
"Wait, let me count. You initially signed the [Silver Throne], right?"
"Then comes the [Gate of Stars], and then the [Mysterious Singularity]."
"The Mysterious Singularity is followed immediately by the Miracle Fantasy, but now you've signed the Conditions Forever?"
""
"You actually signed another 'permanent' contract?"
"You're not even a god, yet you managed to sign the fifth overlord-level secret contract?"
"You—how did you do that?"
The young miner's words came out like a barrage of beads, leaving Xia Fa somewhat stunned.
It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that even [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Clown], before becoming gods, could only sign four overlord-level secret contracts, yet he had signed a fifth—
This could indeed have a significant impact on young miners.
In particular, the young miner also appears to have lost his "absolute defense."
"Last time I thought you wouldn't be able to come to me again until you became a god, but I never expected this—"
The young miner sighed, then continued, "I used to think you were like me and that 'Paradox Clown,' but this matter was too great. I didn't want to tell you before you became an Outer God, lest it harm you. But now it seems that's not the case—"
Upon hearing this, Xia Fa's biggest question—what exactly was he—resurfaced once again: "You—you know what I am?"
The young miner nodded, then shook his head: "It's hard to say. You could still be someone like me and the Paradox Joker, only the most special one among us. But, it's also possible—"
He suddenly paused, took a deep breath, and his tone carried a hint of fear: "—It is related to those beings that even we, the nine great gods, dare not discuss."
Those beings that even the nine righteous gods dare not speak of? Who are they?
The question immediately popped into Xia Fa's mind, but he refrained from asking it.
Having been in this extraordinary world for so long, he has gradually come to understand a principle.
That is, the more unknowable something is, the less you should try to know about it!
Just as an ordinary person might lose control or have their head explode if they casually glance at a god, it's best not to know about anything that even the nine righteous gods dare not discuss.
Even if that thing exists, according to the young miner, it seems to have a great connection to him, even being his "origin."
Seeing that Xia Fa didn't ask any more questions, the young miner looked somewhat satisfied. After so long, this child had finally grown up.
Then, he said in a smiling voice, "Looking at it this way, your probability of becoming a god is almost fifty percent. Once you become a god, I will tell you everything I know, including that being that we nine righteous gods dare not talk about. Of course, I will only tell you indirectly."
Xia Fa asked with a strange expression, "Only 50%?"
The young miner's smooth, egg-like face suddenly wrinkled, revealing an expression that was clearly a smile but looked like a chrysanthemum: "Fifty percent is very high. Back then, I only had thirty percent, and the [Paradox Clown] only had thirty percent. As for the other true gods, when they became subordinate gods, they all survived with a probability of twenty percent or even one percent."
So low—
Xia Fa had previously thought that as long as he obtained [Eternal Critical Strike], he would definitely become a god, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
The young miner held up one index finger, his tone becoming resolute: "The real challenge lies in the elevation of your life level, from human to god. This is a true leap in life. Do you understand this principle?"
"At the moment of sublimation and leap, you will attract the attention and covetousness of countless beings throughout the universe."
"At that time, to them or them, you were like a piece of fatty meat oozing with the aroma of meat, especially the [proof of eternity] you possessed. They could take it away simply by killing you. Who, apart from us nine righteous gods, wouldn't be tempted?"
Xia Fa finally understood: "So, the real difficulty lies in evading the pursuit of those beings stronger than me?"
The young miner said noncommittally, "Pretty much, but during your own life's sublimation and leap, you might also lose control because you can't withstand the enormous divine power born within you. Either your body will explode, or you'll become an unknown being like the Celestial Spirit Realm. Think about it—"
He paused briefly, then summarized, "It's roughly equivalent to dealing with your own loss of control while evading the pursuit of various powerful beings until you truly become a god. Especially now that there are Cleaners, the probability of 50% is actually quite high, and you absolutely must be careful."
This was extremely valuable and important information, and Xia Fa felt genuinely grateful, saying sincerely, "Understood, thank you."
Given that he can casually sign a supreme-level secret agreement, he shouldn't be too afraid of the loss of control issues that arise when his life level is sublimated and leaps.
So, the difficulty lies in how to evade the pursuit of those powerful beings, especially those cleaners, during the process of becoming a god.
As Xia Fa pondered these thoughts, he began to devise a series of plans.
At this moment, the young miner sighed and said, "Hey, why are you being so polite with me? It's just that, apart from the [Silver White Universe], all of us nine righteous gods have been framed by those fake nine righteous gods. Otherwise, I would personally protect you, and your probability of becoming a subordinate god would easily be ninety percent."
Speaking of this, Xia Fa no longer tried to hide anything and said, "I heard a story before that among the nine great gods, [Absolute Defense] and [Silver Universe] have gone missing, [Paradox Joker] has been staying in his earthly god kingdom and hasn't come out, and the others have all gone mad, with only [Brief Reality] remaining conscious."
"Even earlier, I heard that the Nine Great Gods were all fake."
"But recently, I tried praying to the Silver Universe and received a response. I also prayed to the Paradox Clown and not only received a response, but we also communicated. Moreover, it seems that He is with the Silver Universe and the First History, suppressing some very terrifying existence."
Having said all that in one breath, Xia Fa dumped all his questions about the nine righteous gods onto the table: "So, what exactly is the reason for this?"
He deliberately avoided mentioning His Excellency the Wise One, instead saying "I've heard a saying," since His Excellency the Wise One had been quite good to him, and he absolutely couldn't betray Him.
The question of whether the Nine Great Gods were real or not had been troubling Xia Fa for a long time, especially since he was about to become a subordinate god and would inevitably have to come into contact with the Nine Great Gods.
If we don't figure out whether this is true or false, it will cause trouble later.
Suddenly remembering something, Xia Fa added, "By the way, I've also heard a credible claim that among the nine righteous gods, only [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker] are real."
"And you said that only the [Silver Universe] is real."
"Can you tell me what the truth is?"
The first of these two statements was told to him by the actual "commentator." Xia Fa did not mention the commentator's name, after all, the commentator was also very nice to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the young miner leaned back as if he had been frightened. Even though he had no facial features, he still gave the impression that he was making an exaggerated expression of being frightened.
"My God, Xia Fa, where did you hear all these claims?"
Xia Fa never expected the young miner to react this way.
He had assumed the young miner would either remain silent because the truth had been exposed, or be angry because he had been deceived, or sigh and begin to explain earnestly.
Unexpectedly, He seemed to be frightened by these various claims about the authenticity of the nine righteous gods.
This kind of shock wasn't the kind you get from being frightened; Xia Fa sensed it very clearly. Rather, it felt more like—seeing an exaggerated, fake news story in the newspaper.
At this moment, the young miner gave a wry smile: "According to you, that guy 'Paradox Joker' went back and probably already killed the fake 'Paradox Joker.' With his secret abilities and the authority he wields, he can completely avoid being discovered by the other fake gods."
"As for the [Silver Universe], it has always been real, and you don't need to question that."
"You're really lucky. You got to pray to those two real gods. If it were any other fake gods, they would have eaten you alive, leaving not even bones. After all, you've already signed four overlord-level secret contracts."
Although the young miner's words were casual, Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
In fact, the initial prayer to the [Silver Universe] was indeed out of urgency, since we wouldn't be able to enter the Old Forge if we were any later.
Secondly, it was indeed taken into consideration that the young miner had said that the "Silver Universe" was real.
As for praying to the Paradox Clown, perhaps it was because the response he received after praying to the Silver Universe was so good that he dared to try it.
Of course, there is also an element of the words of "wise men" involved.
According to the Wise Man, the Paradox Clown has remained in the earthly kingdom of God without coming out, and has also remained conscious. Under such circumstances, he must be real, which is why I can pray with peace of mind.
Just then, the young miner spoke up again: "By the way, that statement you mentioned at the beginning, was it told to you by the wise man of 'Fate's Carnival'?"
His tone was rather sinister, and combined with his faceless features and the flickering light of the campfire, it gave off a terrifying feeling.
Fortunately, Xia Fa knew that the young miners were basically on his side, so he wasn't too afraid. Instead, he asked curiously, "How did you know?"
The young miner sighed softly: "It seems I was right. [Brief Reality] really is the traitor among us. I thought it was trapped like the rest of us because it lost its power, but now it seems that's not the case at all."
Xia Fa sensed something was amiss and hesitated before asking, "You mean—"
The young miner suddenly looked up, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Do you know what the most terrifying hallucination is?"
Xia Fa was startled, as if realizing something: "You, you mean—"
The young miner gave a sinister smile, his tone tinged with pity for the "wise man": "That's right, the most terrifying illusion is the created, fleeting reality! The 'wise man' was blinded by the reality created by this fleeting reality, thinking that we were just crazy or missing. How pathetic."
Rumble!
The young miner's words struck Xia Fa's heart like a thunderbolt.
If [Brief Reality] betrayed the Nine True Gods and joined the camp of the false Nine True Gods, then what about the "Fire Seed" project, and the absolutely safe little world that [The Wise One] and [Brief Reality] jointly discovered—could it be a trap?
Ever since his conversation with the "wise man," Xia Fa had always believed that he had a way out, and that way out was that little world that the Cleaners would never discover.
But now it seems that even this only way out has been cut off.
Fortunately, the Wise One was only blinded by the Temporary Reality, and did not join the false Nine True Gods. This means that the "Primordial Capsule" He gave Him should still be usable.
I still have a chance to obtain the tenth-level overlord-level secret contract, [Primordial Secret Explanation].
The young miner's face showed anger as he said, "To be honest, what I disliked the most back then was [Short-Term Reality]. I thought that kid was rebellious, but I never expected him to actually betray us. I should have slapped him to death back then."
Xia Fa could only comfort Him, saying, "It's alright. Once you regain your strength, you'll be able to slap Him to death."
The young miner was taken aback: "How can you be so sure? Have you seen me at my peak?"
Xia Fa laughed and said, "I guess you could say we've met."
The young miner laughed heartily, his anger somewhat dissipated: "Not bad, not bad, I guess I've met an old friend after falling into the abyss. Anyway, since the Paradox Joker didn't attack you, he must have gone back and replaced the fake one. From now on, try to only interact with the Silver Universe and the Paradox Joker."
Xia Fa then asked with considerable curiosity, "Why is it that among your nine righteous gods, only the [Silver Universe] wasn't framed?"
The young miner replied without hesitation, "That's simple. The [Silver Universe] holds the power over space. If you touch it, the entire universe will collapse immediately. In addition, it is good at hiding itself, which is why it escaped a calamity ten thousand years ago. Wait, no—"
As He spoke, He seemed to realize something: "You just said that when you prayed to the Paradox Clown, the Silver Universe and First History were also there, suppressing something?"
Xia Fa nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
The young miner hissed, his voice clearly tinged with delight: "So, [First History] went back too! Hahaha, damn it, they all went back, but they didn't take me with them!"
Xia Fa instantly realized: "So, the [First History] can also be trusted?"
The young miner nodded slightly: "Yes, [First History] not only knows everything that has ever happened in the world, but also has the power to deceive and tamper with things. So, like [Paradox Joker], he is probably already mixed in with the fake Nine Great Gods, ready to launch a total counterattack at any time."
At this point, he shook his head dejectedly: "I'm the only one left. Although we have the Paradox Joker, the fake Absolute Defense is really hard to deal with. I have to do it myself—"
When Xia Fa first came here, he chose to believe the young miner's character but not his self-proclaimed identity. But now, he has no choice but to believe him.
However, this raises a huge question.
That is, who exactly is the "Leviathan" in the Super Fighting Grand Prix?
First of all, it certainly couldn't have been a young miner; he had no idea about it.
But if "Levimir" was a fake manifestation of "Absolute Defense," why didn't he attack me in the first place, but instead helped me?
Of all the questions surrounding the authenticity of the Nine Great Gods, this is almost the only remaining doubt, yet it is also the biggest and most crucial one.
Because among the nine righteous gods, [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker] are undoubtedly the strongest. If the identity of [Absolute Defense] is not clear, all sorts of terrible situations could happen.
Thinking of this, Xia Fa frowned, realizing an even bigger problem: "Wait, those fake Nine True Gods—aren't they afraid of the Cleansers?"
The young miner said with a mix of emotion and helplessness, "Why do you think those nine would frame us?"
Xia Fa's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean—the fake Nine Great Gods are on the same side as the Cleaners?"
The young miner smiled wryly and said, "That's exactly what I mean. Ten thousand years ago, those nine of them were prepared to welcome the awakening of the Gold Cleaners, which is why they attacked us nine."
this!!!
Now, Xia Fa finally felt a genuine sense of fear. It seemed that, apart from the [Silver Universe], [Absolute Defense], and [First History], he must never contact any other fake true gods again.
As for "Levimir"—well, he hasn't harmed me yet, I'll deal with him when he comes looking for me again.
"Alright, Xiafa, don't think too much about it now. Just become a follower of the gods. Once you become a follower of the gods, you'll have some ability to protect yourself in this chaotic era. I'll send you out now. You've stayed here long enough to be a bit dangerous."
Seemingly because he had heard that three righteous gods had secretly returned, the young miner was filled with mixed feelings of emotion, excitement, and a touch of inexplicable loss. After carefully giving Xia Fa a few instructions, he casually waved his hand.
This time, it was as gentle as a spring breeze and as subtle as rain, leaving no trace. Xia Fa didn't even feel a blur before his eyes; he was only momentarily disoriented before returning to his own little world.
The sound of waves crashing against the shore drifted over, a cool sea breeze caressed my face, and the faint, bell-like laughter of Benedict and Meowkor could be heard from the jungle behind me.
For the first time, Xia Fa felt as if he had been transported to another world.
"The fake Nine True Gods are on the same side as the Cleaners—Levimir—"
He murmured to himself that now that Levimir's identity was completely confirmed, he could basically determine whether the young miner's story was true or false.
However, if the young miner's claim is true, then... — the six fake gods plus the Gold Cleaners — the thought is terrifying.
An immense sense of crisis swept over him once again. Xia Fa took a deep breath, stood up, and almost wanted to start training his body immediately, doing everything he could to improve his strength.
But the moment he stood up, a tearing pain suddenly shot through his chest, like lightning striking his entire body, causing him to clutch his chest and nearly fall.
However, Xia Fa immediately realized that he was breathing smoothly, without feeling any tightness in his chest or shortness of breath, and without feeling any pressure on his chest from a large rock or being stepped on. In other words, he was not having a heart attack.
Of course, it couldn't be a heart attack, since he was practically a god.
So—what exactly happened?
Just as he was about to examine his heart area internally, an incredible scene unfolded.
The intense sunlight shone directly through his chest, penetrating his ribs and flesh.
Now there's no need for spiritual intuition or introspection; Xia Fa can clearly see the incredible changes in himself simply by looking down.
That was his chest, the area of his heart. His entire heart had transformed into a texture and color like the sun, and the burning sensation had intensified exponentially, circulating within it.
My heart was pounding. The intense light seemed to illuminate everything, carrying the warmth of sunlight, yet also—the intensity and heat of the sun!
At this moment, Xia Fa clearly felt that the burning sensation in his heart meridians had increased more than threefold, and the recovery speed had also increased by a full 50%!
In other words, if he were in the place where time had stopped, he would only need to use one-third of the burning sensation in his current heart meridian to kill the heavily injured and dying Bronze Cleaner with a single strike!
Most importantly, since the heart has become as substantial as the sun, the effects of exercising the body seem to be multiplied!
The next moment, the light on his chest dimmed, but the texture and color of his heart remained unchanged. It still seemed to be the shape of a heart transformed from the sun, throbbing powerfully in his chest cavity.
Xia Fa's inner joy was like molten lava, about to flow through his entire body.
He never expected that signing five overlord-level secret contracts would bring about such a transformation!
The burning sensation was three times stronger, and the recovery speed was even faster. As a result, he was even confident that he could fight against the gods right now!
"Crimson Agent —"
Xia Fa's eyes flickered, and he clenched his fist slightly.
Once the family head's banquet is over tomorrow, I'll return to Caligi and settle accounts with the Crimson Proxy. As for Dionysios, if he really wants to compete with me for [Eternal Critical Strike], Shafa won't mind crippling him.
"So, what's next—"
Gazing at the vast, boundless blue sea, Xia Fa took out some jerky from a Dominator-level supernatural creature and ate it while casually conjuring an ice bar.
It's time to get back in shape!
