I'm not just human!

Chapter 342 Conversation with an Unknown Quasi-Celestial Being, the Origin of the Extraordinary…

In that instant, countless strange electric currents surged forth from the spine, their sheer number like a vast ocean, roaring and rumbling.

Moreover, this time, the strange current not only covered the cerebral cortex, but also penetrated all parts of the body—bones, muscles, organs, blood vessels, blood, and even the skin!

Just before the strange electric current emerged, and the moment he saw those double pupils, Xia Fa's mind suddenly went blank for a moment, as if he had been greatly shocked, and even showed signs of completely losing control.

Fortunately, the strange electric current subsided in an instant.

Otherwise, the only option is to get down on the ground immediately, stand up and sit down, and use the ability to randomly freeload a meal to escape this place.

But if they did that, the secret about their disguised identity as a "glutton" would be immediately exposed.

An unprecedented sense of vigilance arose within Xia Fa, who still chose to get out of bed and look warily into those double pupils.

Immediately, a clear and ethereal voice rang out, as melodious as a lark, yet with a strange metallic scraping sensation.

"You...can you see me?"

Without a doubt, the sound came from those double pupils, but it was so faint and elusive that it could not be found.

Xia Fa thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Your Excellency—is there something you need?"

In that ethereal voice, pierced by those double pupils, a hint of surprise crept in: "You really can see me. Not simple, truly not simple. As expected of you—"

It paused slightly before continuing, "—The third Divine Spirit in history."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa immediately realized that he had overlooked something.

After his identity as the Holy Spirit of Destiny was exposed, he could avoid being found out about his true identity of signing five overlord-level secret contracts, thus avoiding the pursuit of the fake Nine Great Gods and the Golden Cleansers. However, the identity of the Holy Spirit of Destiny itself was highly sought after. Countless gods and unknown beings of equal rank in the Star Spirit Realm might target him because of this!

Fortunately, he's currently in the real world. As long as he doesn't go to the Protoss Realm, is careful in his daily life, and masters the authority of the Eternal Secret, he should be fine.

After all, at least on the surface, these unknown beings from beyond the gods and of equal rank still dare not easily enter the real world.

Previously, the fear was that the nine righteous gods would directly eliminate those who dared to enter the real world. Now, however, it's the cleaners who might object.

The Cleaners are here to cleanse all beings in the universe and the Astral Realm who are associated with supernatural powers. If these beings, from gods and above, were to enter the real world at will and cause pollution, it would certainly add considerable trouble to the Cleaners.

Thinking of this, Xia Fa calmed down a bit, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest. He asked in a deep voice, "So, what exactly do you want from me?"

The voice from those double-pupiled eyes suddenly sounded like a soft chuckle: "Don't be nervous, handsome young man. How about we talk first?"

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

The moment it finished speaking, countless identical double pupils opened their eyes in the bedroom of this two-story attic, all looking at Xia Fa.

All the double pupils were in pairs, staring straight at Xia Fa without moving around, yet they seemed lifeless, like the lifeless eyes of a dead person.

The surrounding air instantly turned into a dark purple, like the starry sky. It should have been quite tranquil, but with those eyes, it became extremely eerie.

That ethereal voice rang out once again, but this time, it seemed to emanate from all the double pupils, overlapping and extremely eerie.

"Alright, now we can talk in the real world without worry."

Buzz!

Before the ethereal voice had even faded, the sound of bumblebees flapping their wings arose around Xia Fa, and then countless flowers, grasses, and trees immediately sprouted around him, forming a circle around him.

Xia Fa felt the immense pressure of losing control disappear, and the strange currents throughout his body retreated back to his coccyx, leaving only the strange currents in his cerebral cortex.

The next moment, a familiar aura emanated from the void, and a bumblebee-like natural bee flew out and immediately protected Xia Fa.

"The Source Master of the Eye of the Mist? What are you going to do?"

The Bee of Nature roared, adopting a desperate stance, seemingly determined to protect its master to the death.

Xia Fa was taken aback, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

A few days ago, before entering the Old Forge, he ordered the Nature Bee to venture into the Protoss Realm on its own and not to return.

This meant there might be unknown dangers in the old forge, and Xia Fa didn't want to involve the Nature Bee. Of course, this was also because the Nature Bee, at that time, was only close to the level of a ruler and couldn't really do anything.

Secondly, the Nature Bee seems to really enjoy wandering and adventuring around the Protoss Realm, as if it were born to be there, so Shafa just lets it be.

However, Xia Fa did not expect that after not seeing it for many days, this natural bee had grown to a level that others could not fathom, just like himself.

If it weren't for the soul imprint of the Nature Bee on him, he wouldn't even be able to discern the Nature Bee's status.

"Hmm...is this a veteran transcendent monarch who's almost signed twenty secret contracts?"

"As expected of a young entity, its growth is truly rapid," Xia Fa thought with delight.

At the same time, he also realized that his pet seemed to know a lot of things that he didn't know.

For example, this "Eye of the Mist".

Also, what is the Source Master?

The double pupils paused slightly. Although there were double pupils everywhere in the air, only one of them was full of life, like a mischievous and lively girl. Therefore, Xia Fa could also distinguish it.

"You are—the recently famous Nature's Bee? What is your relationship with this Mr. Xia Fa?"

The bee of nature replied without hesitation, "This is my master!"

Those double-pupiled eyes were even more surprised, and they looked at Xia Fa again. Hundreds of lifeless eyes in the air also turned to look at Xia Fa, and the ethereal voices rang out again in unison: "Interesting, very interesting, Xia Fa. I'm becoming more and more interested in you. Even this famous young natural bee is your pet."

"Ahem." Xia Fa coughed lightly twice before saying, "Tell me, could you explain to me what's going on right now? And who is the Source Master of the Eye of the Mist?"

The Nature Bee seemed extremely wary of the dual pupils, and moved even closer to Xia Fa, as if determined to protect its master at all costs. It then spoke, "Master, the Eye of the Mist is one of many unknown beings in the Star Spirit Realm. As for the Source Master of the Eye of the Mist—essentially the leader of this unknown being—their strength is generally considerable."

After a brief pause, the Nature Bee cautiously provided the most crucial information: "—Quasi-Celestial Venerable level."

Quasi-Celestial Venerable level?

Xia Fa was suddenly jolted, finally understanding why he had almost lost control on the spot and triggered the largest surge and reaction of the strange current in his spine and tailbone in history when the double pupils appeared for only a moment.

Quasi-Celestial Venerable level — isn't that the same strength as his disguised physical form, "Gluttony"?

That's enough to scare away three Silver Cleaners who were leading three hundred Bronze Cleaners!

Strangely, even though he had seen those incomparably powerful beings with the Heavenly Venerable rank, such as the Wise One and the young miner, he couldn't judge the strength of these dual-pupil eyes by comparison.

These double pupils seemed to conceal all their aura, making them impossible to perceive. A slight probe with one's spiritual intuition was like entering a thick fog.

"Wait a minute, the Nature Bee only has the strength of a veteran transcendent monarch, how dare it go toe-to-toe with an unknown being at the quasi-celestial level?"

Xia Fa suddenly thought of this and became quite worried.

If we anger the Source Lord of the Eye of the Mist, things could get really bad.

Fortunately, he could summon the Nature Bee back to the skin under his shoulder with a single thought. At worst, he could simply sit on the bed and teleport away with the Nature Bee.

Just then, that ethereal voice rang out again, tinged with displeasure: "Nature's Bee, I know you are a prospective member of the Entity Redemption Society, backed by the Storytellers and Bards, and the recently renowned Glutton, but you seem to have no right to speak to me in this tone, do you?"

The Bee of Nature, not to be outdone, was like a proud and arrogant genius: "I told you, you can't touch my master! Try killing me and see if the Storyteller and the Bard will avenge me, and Lord Glutton, if he finds out, your Eye of the Mist will be wiped out."

The double-pupiled eyes suddenly blinked, even though it had no eyelids. Then, it sighed softly, "You've all misunderstood me. If I really wanted to harm your master, Xia Fa, do you think I could wait until you sensed it and reacted to protect him?"

The bee of nature was taken aback: "This—"

Seeing that even the Source Lord of the Eye of the Mist, an unknown being with the quasi-Celestial Venerable rank, had given it a way out, it wasn't stupid. Or rather, it had actually been incredibly intelligent since its birth.

Therefore, the Nature Bee bowed slightly and said quite sincerely, "I have overstepped my bounds. I apologize, Lord Source."

Satisfaction appeared in those double pupils, and she let out a soft hum in an ethereal voice: "Hmph, that's fine then. You two—just call me [Secret Prayer Eyes]."

Xia Fa noticed that the sentence contained the symbol "【】", although he didn't know how he heard it, since it should be a written symbol.

But the moment I learned its name, a large portion of the strange current in my cerebral cortex disappeared.

"Could it be that—the more we know about the unknown existences of the Protoss Realm, the lower the risk of things spiraling out of control?"

Xia Fa had this speculation in his mind. Of course, this was also because the [Secret Prayer Eye] was not very able to control her own extraordinary power.

If it were someone like the Wise One or a young miner, this problem wouldn't exist.

"Nature Bee, a prospective member of the Entity Redemption Society, pays respects to Lord [Secret Prayer Eyes]."

Upon learning the name of the esteemed creature, the Bumblebee of Nature indeed bowed, its two short, black forelegs coming together, and its plump body bent slightly, a rather standard gesture.

Shafa followed suit: "Shafa Gilgamesh, clergyman of the Silver Church and head of the Gilgamesh family, pays respects to His Excellency [Secret Prayer Eye]."

Seeing this, [Secret Prayer Eyes] was even more pleased, and her ethereal voice gained a touch of girlish liveliness: "Hmm, okay~, you two don't need to be so polite. Xia Fa, since the young body of the Nature Bee is your pet, then the matter I want to discuss with you today will be very easy to handle."

Xia Fa hesitated and asked, "How so?"

Regardless, it is still necessary to remain vigilant when facing an unknown being at the quasi-Celestial Venerable level.

This is similar to how ordinary people in the real world are occasionally lured by out-of-control or insane beings from beyond the gods through the Astral Realm, who promise to grant their wishes.

But once ordinary people dare to make a wish, they will be met with a fate that is many times more tragic than death.

[Secret Prayer Eyes]'s tone suddenly became serious: "Recently, these so-called unknown beings in our Celestial Spirit Realm are preparing to hold a meeting to deal with the increasing number of Cleaners in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Since you are a Celestial Spirit, you have a good chance of becoming a Divine Being. So I thought I'd bring you in as well, so you can listen to what's going on."

Xia Fa immediately understood why: "Does it mean you want me to do things for you in the real world?"

Even if he hadn't killed the Crimson Executor, who was a transcendental monarch, just by virtue of his identity as the Holy Spirit of Destiny, he was already one of the strongest beings in the real world.

Even the Nine Great Gods need the Extraordinary Emperors and Secret Sovereigns to handle affairs in the real world, so it's normal for these unknown beings to try and win them over.

A lively smile appeared in the double pupils of 【Secret Prayer Eyes】: "Smart, it seems you are a smart person. I like to communicate with smart people."

Nature's Bee suddenly interjected, "[Secret Prayer's Eye], all of you unknown beings—will you all come?"

[Secret Prayer's Evil Eyes] replied without hesitation, "Yes, what's wrong?"

The Nature Bee asked rather cautiously, "Are the Bound Disciples coming too?"

[Secret Prayer's Evil Eyes] chuckled softly: "Hmm! Not only the bound disciples, but also other unknown beings such as the Nightmare Priest, the Calamity Spirit Witch, the Intricate Star Cluster, the Transdimensional Primordial Embryo, and the Philosopher Attendant—all of these types will come."

Xia Fa was stunned. What was that?

Bound disciples?

Dream Demon Priest?

Calamity Spirit Witch?

Intricate star clusters?

Hyperdimensional original tire?

A philosophical waiter?

Moreover, this isn't just the name of some unknown being, but a general term for a type of unknown being? Like the Eye of the Mist?

In that instant, Xia Fa suddenly realized that although he knew quite a lot about the mysticism of various aspects of the real world, he seemed to know nothing about the mysticism of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

However, this is normal, because even angels and rulers, when they wander and adventure in the Protoss Realm, will choose to avoid unknown beings as soon as possible, rather than go up and talk to them.

In other words, only those who attain the divine status are qualified to come into contact with and understand the unknown beings.

In the real world, the gods dare not stay.

In this situation, it's perfectly normal that there's no relevant occult knowledge in the real world.

Suddenly, the voice of the Bee of Nature, through the soul seal, quietly rang in Xia Fa's mind, as if it was preparing to discuss something.

"Master, all the bound disciples are going. This meeting of the unknown beings is unprecedented in scale. What do you say, shall we go?"

Xia Fa also communicated with it using a soul bond, asking curiously, "What is a Bound Disciple? Is it very strong?"

The Nature Bee seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Master, do you remember that unknown being who was frightened out of control by you in your 'Glutton' form in the City of Ten Thousand Stars last time?"

After a moment's thought, Xia Fa recalled it.

At the time, I was randomly trying to freeload a meal and happened to end up at a restaurant in the City of Ten Thousand Stars. Then, someone dissected a traveling whale and found a seed that could teach people the divine combat technique [Tree Realm], which attracted an unknown being of godhood.

The bee of nature followed him at the time, always staying on his shoulder, and later even talked to him about it. However, at that time, the bee of nature knew nothing about it.

"You mean, that was a bound disciple?"

Xia Fa recalled that when he glared at the unknown entity and made it lose control, it actually transformed from a centipede-like monster into a human-like form, except that a gray iron ring was embedded around its neck. It even glanced at him one last time before suddenly exploding.

Could it be that the human form and the gray iron ring are related to the origin of the bound disciples?

Nature's Bee then responded, "Yes, although I don't know how the Bound Disciples were born, they are almost the most powerful group among the unknown beings. If they all want to go, then it's worth it."

Xia Fa hesitated for two seconds: "Okay, I'll think about it. By the way, can we send a Tree Realm puppet?"

Nature's Bee replied without hesitation, "Of course, it's just a meeting, not a battle with the Cleaners, so no one should say anything."

Xia Fa smiled and said, "That's fine then, I'll agree to it."

The person and the bee seemed to have been discussing for a long time, but in reality, because they were communicating through a soul bond, it was equivalent to a mental exchange, and the frequency was extremely high, completing the task in less than a few seconds.

At this moment, Xia Fa looked up again and gazed at the [Secret Prayer Eye], which held the quasi-Celestial Venerable status.

"Okay, I can come, but my question is, since I'm not an unknown entity, won't other unknown entities have any objections if I go?"

Unknown beings have always been very mysterious. Although I don't know if they are xenophobic, it's okay to ask one more question.

Unexpectedly, the ethereal voice of [Secret Prayer Eyes] chuckled softly: "My dear Mr. Xia Fa, it seems you have some misunderstandings about your own perception."

Xia Fa hesitated and asked, "How so?"

[Secret Prayer's Evil Eyes] replied without hesitation: "Let's put it this way. Since the emergence of extraordinary powers 30,000 years ago, for normal humans and magicians..."

"Whether you are superhumans, or those among humans or demi-humans who have been given extraordinary talents due to being tainted by supernatural power, or humanoid supernatural beings, non-humanoid supernatural beings, the supernatural, spirits, entities, gods, outer gods, and true gods—"

She took a deep breath and said, word by word, "—All of them are equivalent to unknown existences."
