I'm not just human!

Chapter 208 The Golden Beacon Scroll: The Young Overlords Are About to Gather!

The golden lava was thick and sticky. Xia Fagang had only been inside for a short time when he already felt suffocated by the surrounding atmosphere.

Even though she was in a state of being occupied, which was essentially just watching "images" of the past, Xia Fa still felt as if her whole body was on fire, and her lungs were burning with pain.

He persisted in looking, using the luminous sphere formed from his own mind to approach the other side of the cover of the Golden Beacon Scroll.

Finally, he saw clearly the patterns emerging on the gold of the Lamenting Hymn.

The most distinctive feature of the Lamenting Hymn Gold is that the patterns on the gold change continuously over time, creating an effect that is almost like cryptic texts or even ritual arrays.

This also makes it virtually impossible to counterfeit this relic-like, extraordinary metal.

Furthermore, if different treasures are crafted from it, the Lamenting Hymn Gold will manifest various corresponding ancient totems based on the characteristics of the treasures, thereby greatly enhancing the power of the treasures.

On the Golden Beacon Scroll, the golden lamentation hymn that emerges is the restriction on reading this divine scroll!

That's right. The restrictions on the Golden Beacon Scroll will be different every time it is read and reappears after being lost for hundreds or thousands of years.

Sometimes, the Golden Beacon Scrolls are only permitted to be read by humans, and only by those below the rank of demigod.

Sometimes, the Golden Beacon Scrolls can be read by both humans and demi-humans at the same time, and the scope of the restrictions on status has been expanded to include gods.

According to a certain historical record, the Golden Beacon Scroll was once only allowed to be read by superhumans at the Bacterium level, and it would form a superhuman barrier to prevent superhumans above the Bacterium level from entering. Only the nine Great Gods could forcibly break through it.

However, the nine righteous gods could not possibly intervene, which led to a group of rulers and angels standing outside the barrier, watching the novice superhumans at the fungus level scramble for the Golden Beacon Scroll, their envy burning, yet they were helpless.

As for this time, the exact restrictions on the Golden Beacon Scroll will greatly determine whether or not I can obtain this ancient scripture!

With utmost dedication and anticipation, Xia Fa finally saw the patterns on the cover clearly.

Those were two cryptic inscriptions, two cryptic inscriptions that were as clear as could be, but they were surrounded by eight star-like dots.

"Restrictions: Humans, demi-humans, humanoid supernatural beings, non-humanoid supernatural beings. The scope is surprisingly broad this time!"

"Unsealing time: Tomorrow?"

Xia Fa instantly deciphered the meaning of the two cryptic texts, and then checked again the number of star-like dots surrounding the two cryptic texts.

"Two, three... seven, eight... I didn't miscount, there are definitely eight."

The moment he realized it, Xia Fa was overjoyed!

Because a star-like dot represents a rank or status.

If there were only one of these starlight dots, then this Golden Beacon Scroll could only be read by a Fungus-level transcendent being.

All beings above the level of bacteria will be blocked outside the extraordinary barrier formed by the Golden Beacon Scroll when it appears.

It's not a question of whether anyone dares to break in; it's that it's simply impossible to break in.

Unless, of course, the nine righteous gods have to intervene.

In the first and second millennia of the universe, this might still be possible, for example, the prodigies in the "earthly divine kingdoms" of the nine great gods might request the gods they worship to break this extraordinary barrier.

But now, in the third ten thousand years of the universe, and with the Nine Great Gods barely responding to prayers, it's completely impossible. Moreover, even if the Nine Great Gods broke through the extraordinary barrier formed by the Golden Beacon Scroll, it's highly likely that superhumans who exceed the limits wouldn't be able to read it.

As a nearly "living" seal, the Golden Beacon Scroll must have had other methods to maintain this restriction.

Now, on the other side of the Golden Beacon Scroll, there are eight star-shaped dots!

Fungi, insects, eagles, wolves, elephants, whales, demigods, angels, rulers—this means that this time, only beings of angelic rank and below can peruse the Golden Beacon Scroll!

As for the rulers, they will be blocked outside the extraordinary barrier when the Golden Beacon Scroll is created!

"It's a bit high, but it's still okay. For Xia Fa himself, it would definitely be most advantageous if there were only three starlight dots."

At that time, I, as an Eagle-level superhuman, will have the strength to directly confront an angel, and I will be dealing with a group of other opponents who are only Eagle-level in strength.

Even if some Eagle-level superhumans possess the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, they are at most equivalent to Wolf-level or Elephant-level, which is nothing special.

That's not just crushing them, it's downright shameless bullying.

Even just seven star-shaped dots would be quite nice.

Even a demigod who has signed a supreme-level secret pact may not necessarily be his match.

But for now, even though there are only eight star-shaped dots, which restricts entry to angels and those below them, it's still acceptable.

Xia Fa's assessment of his current strength is that he can roughly fight against angels, but he would have a hard time dealing with an angel-level overlord.

However, as long as we seize the opportunity today and tomorrow to significantly advance our understanding of the Gate of Stars, and train our bodies tomorrow to see if we can improve further, even if we don't have time to sign the third Overlord-level secret contract, we will still have the strength to directly confront an Angel-level Overlord!

At that point, it will truly be a matter of each person relying on their own abilities.

Suddenly, an extremely empty and exhausted feeling surged up, almost filling the glowing sphere formed from Xia Fa's mental body.

Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

My mental energy is about to run out.

In this state, the occupation will soon end on its own.

Unless, of course, the golden beacon scroll completely absorbs the luminous sphere that his mind has transformed into, or some unknown entity suddenly approaches reality and directly abducts his mind.

Otherwise, one's mind can return to the body.

This time, Xia Fa originally planned to use the divination of the solar volcano to find out Captain Hook's movements.

Unexpectedly, the harvest was hundreds or thousands of times greater than that!

Therefore, he was quite satisfied and simply waited quietly for the occupation to end.

A tearing pain surged through his brain, and frantic roars and demonic whispers began to appear around him. Xia Fa struggled to maintain his composure, his will as firm as a rock.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of falling came over me, and everything went dark.

Inside the cabin of the Chainsaw, Xia Fa opened his eyes.

The cabin was still swaying, and the sounds of pirates drinking and chatting on the deck could be heard from outside the door. Xia Fa let out a soft breath.

Back to the real world.

He remained lying on the bed and quickly activated two strange electric currents, covering his cerebral cortex to prevent himself from losing control due to mental exhaustion.

At the same time, Xia Fa breathed slowly, his whole body relaxed, and he began to recover his brain, which was exhausted of mental energy.

"We should be able to reach the vicinity of the Solar Volcano by tomorrow morning. As for the Golden Beacon Scroll, according to the secret text, it should be released by noon tomorrow."

Xia Fa thought for a moment, wondering if he should simply switch to a ship that could perform Protoss jumps and arrive at Sun Volcano tonight.

In this way, if we can scout the location in advance, our chances of winning the Golden Beacon Scroll tomorrow will increase significantly.

But at that moment, the entire Chainsaw ship inexplicably came to a stop.

A powerful yet domineering young man's voice, accompanied by the aura of an angel, traveled from the sea and resounded throughout the entire ship.

"Brothers on this ship, may I requisition your boat? Don't worry, as long as you don't resist, I won't kill you. I'm not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
