I'm not just human!

Chapter 440 Xia Fa... Breakthrough to Outer God! (Part 1)

The wind and snow seemed to blow endlessly, sweeping across the sky and the earth.

The eaves of the temple were already covered with a thick layer of snow.

The temple fell silent for a moment.

[Absolute Defense] At this moment, he was staring at the young miner lying on the floor.

The young miner was now staring intently at the [Absolute Defense] with the only feature on his face—his eyes.

Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown, standing to the side, both sensed the eeriness of the atmosphere.

Xia Fa even caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that the Paradox Joker had clenched his fist, and a weapon resembling a brass knuckle with spikes growing on a ring appeared on his knuckles.

And that weapon—was clearly permeated with the aura of a sacred treasure!

It has a similar aura to the [Pocket Universe] of the Silver Universe and the [World Tree Skull] of the Nature Monarch!

It's important to know that even when [Paradox Joker] flew out of the City of Gold Pounds to try and stop the "House of Imagination" from escaping, he didn't take out his exclusive orthodox secret artifact!

At that moment, Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Unfortunately, his current rank is too low, and he lacks sufficient knowledge of the mystical arts at the level of a true god, so he has no idea what happened.

It's impossible that this young miner actually has a problem, right?

Did He deceive himself for so long just to set up a trap?

At this moment, Xia Fa felt an intense longing for the [Primordial Secret Explanation], a unique and supreme-level secret code in the entire universe. He really didn't want to be someone who knew nothing anymore.

Xia Fa was also prepared to enter the third stage of the Chaos Throne at any time if things went wrong. Whether to run away or make a move at that time would depend on the situation.

Just then, [Absolute Defense] spoke, its voice unusually solemn, its hollow, glowing eyes fixed on the young miner on the ground: "You've come."

The young miner remained lying motionless on the temple floor, but a voice came from the lower half of his face: "You've come."

[Absolute Defense] was clearly taken aback: "You—"

The young miner was also taken aback: "You—"

[Absolute Defense] couldn't help but ask, "Why are you mimicking my speech?"

The young miner, seemingly without hesitation, immediately retorted, "Why are you mimicking my speech?"

[Absolute Defense] was enraged: "Try learning that again!"

The young miner, seemingly unfazed, said, "Why don't you try learning another one?"

[Absolute Defense] His body trembled, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "[Paradox Joker] is an idiot."

The young miner was also startled, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I agree with that."

Paradox Joker: ? ? ?

Xiafa: ————

[Absolute Defense] paused briefly, then burst into laughter, rushed over, and picked up the young miner from the ground.

The moment the young miner was touched by the glowing hand, he seemed to regain his spirits instantly. His aura began to rise infinitely, and he easily broke through to the level of a true god. He even seemed stronger than the Paradox Clown standing next to him.

Now that He had regained His energy, He was no longer listless. He placed His hands on the shoulders of [Absolute Defense] and laughed heartily as well.

The two didn't say much, as if everything was understood without words.

The Paradoxical Joker finally couldn't hold back any longer: "What were you two doing before?"

[Absolute Defense] Holding the young miner as if he were his own brother, he turned and explained, "More than ten thousand years ago, when Julius struck me and separated my power from my body, I made a secret signal with my body to prevent being impersonated, especially to avoid being tricked by Julius or the fake Nine Gods."

The young miner replied almost seamlessly, "So, we were exchanging secret signals just now."

The Paradoxical Joker said speechlessly, "That's your code?"

[Absolute Defense] smiled faintly: "Yes, even you didn't expect it, how could anyone else have known?"

The Paradox Joker was even more helpless, but since his birth, he had never been able to defeat Absolute Defense, so it seemed that there was really no way to deal with it.

However, despite being teased, he was genuinely happy that [Absolute Defense] had regained its body. Besides, it had been a long time since he had seen [Absolute Defense] joke around like this.

Xia Fa also noticed that [Absolute Defense] was not as composed and dignified as before because it had regained its physical form after a long time, probably because it was too excited.

He was happy to see this situation, after all, just from Julius's attack just now, he could see just how unparalleled the strategic position of [Absolute Defense] was among the nine great gods.

Perhaps, [Absolute Defense] used to be a carefree and easygoing person who liked to joke around, but after becoming a true god and taking on such heavy responsibilities that often concerned the survival and destruction of all living beings in the universe, he gradually transformed into the serious, solemn, and dignified person he once was.

And now, we finally see Him showing a rare moment of joy and ease.

The young miner, still embracing the "Absolute Defense" shield, turned to look at Xia Fa.

His dark eyes revealed a rather sentimental expression: "You've really worked hard, Xiafa."

Xia Fa smiled and said, "Why say all this? You've helped me a lot."

The young miner said, "It wasn't until just now, when you brought me to the side of my power, that I suddenly remembered a lot of things. I'm sure I caused you a lot of trouble before."

Xia Fa laughed and said, "No, actually you already told me the biggest truth about yourself, it's just that I didn't know enough about it."

He was referring to the identity the young miner had once claimed to be, the one who had lost his power and possessed "absolute defense." At the time, everyone was guessing, but they never expected that the answer was actually right in front of them.

The young miner immediately understood and smiled slightly: "Yes, not only is a large part of my memory of that time missing, but even the remaining part is very confused. Anyway—thank you."

[Absolute Defense] He watched from the sidelines the whole time without saying a word. In fact, He and the young miner were one, and what the young miner said was what Xiu wanted to say, especially after coming into contact with the young miner and sharing each other's memories.

At this moment, [Absolute Defense] spoke with considerable emotion: "I never expected that my body would fall into some promised land within the Time Mist. No wonder I couldn't find it—"

Xia Fa asked curiously, "The Promised Land?"

[Absolute Defense] nodded: "In a sense, it's like a zone formed by one or more kinds of authority in the universe, and the situations within each zone are different."

"Some promised lands are unparalleled treasures, while others are far more dangerous than the old, treacherous realms."

"For example, I once went to a Promised Land where the success rate of crafting one's own sacred treasures would be multiplied. Later, all nine of us sacred gods crafted our sacred treasures there."

"For example, in some Promised Lands, no matter what kind of being enters, they will split into completely different individuals, and it will be difficult for them to reunite. They are often accompanied by mental madness and complete loss of control—that is what I personally witnessed when an Old One rushed in and suffered the consequences."

"As for the Promised Land where my body fell, it is very special. It is a place where, after someone signs a secret pact at the level of a hegemon, there is an extremely small chance of being able to enter. It also seems to be connected to the Primordial Eternal Sea."

[The Paradoxical Clown] was startled upon hearing this: "The Primordial Eternal Sea? Can one enter through the Promised Land?"

[Absolute Defense] shook his head: "No, even now, entering directly through the third Ancient Mithril Gate is still the method with the least loss, or even the only one."

As expected, the nine righteous gods all knew about the Primordial Eternal Sea and the Primordial Mithril Gate.

Xia Fa muttered to himself, and just from listening to the conversation between [Paradox Clown] and [Absolute Defense], he guessed that the Nine Great Gods might have also passed through the Ancient Mithril Gate.

But is this third Ancient Mithril Gate really that difficult to open?

It seems that even [Absolute Defense] can't be broken?

For some reason, Xia Fa recalled the gentle and intellectual lady who called herself "Bedeil" that he had met in front of the third Ancient Mithril Gate.

Now, he was almost certain that "Bedel" did indeed possess the rank of a true god, much like the other true gods he had encountered.

But this only made him more curious. Just who was this Bedell? How could she become a god independent of the nine great gods?

The Great Old Ones? That's unlikely; they were all killed long ago.

Fake Nine Great Gods? Impossible. He'd seen all the fake Nine Great Gods before, and their auras were completely different from Bedel's.

Xia Fa actually had a very bold guess in his heart, but he dared not be sure.

Perfect timing! He'll soon break through to the Outer God realm. At that time, Bedell might come looking for him, and the truth will come out.

Composing himself and clearing his mind of wandering thoughts, Xia Fa raised his head to look at the two righteous gods and asked, "You also tried to break through the Gate of Primordial Mithril? Even with your personal intervention, you couldn't open it?"

[Absolute Defense] shook his head: "It can be opened by force. If I rely solely on brute force, I can easily destroy the third Primordial Mithril Gate. However, once it is opened, all the Eternal Tokens inside will disappear and be returned to the corresponding cosmic authority. Trying to infiltrate the Primordial Eternal Sea using other methods will be the same."

The Paradox Clown sighed, "Yes, even the 'Faulty Rules' haven't figured out why, so we haven't chosen to open the third Ancient Mithril Gate so easily."

Xia Fa pondered for a moment: "So that's how it is—"

No wonder [Absolute Defense] said that entering the Ancient Eternal Sea through the third Ancient Mithril Gate is the only option with the least loss.

After all, judging from this, no other method can be used at all, no matter what it is.

If used, the Primordial Eternal Sea will become an empty void, and all the extremely powerful Eternal Certificates within will disappear.

"Speaking of which, the Primordial Eternal Sea contains a kind of eternal certificate called [Eternal Attack]. Xia Fa, I remember your esteemed name is [Absolute Attack], isn't it?"

[Absolute Defense] As if suddenly remembering something, he smiled and spoke while still holding the young miner.

As for the young miner, he strangely closed his eyes and stopped speaking, but he also maintained the posture of holding onto [Absolute Defense]'s shoulder without moving.

Xia Fa chuckled and sighed, "I really want to, but even the nine of you can't find a normal way to get in—"

The Paradox Joker chuckled from the sidelines, "I do have a solution."

Xia Fa's eyes lit up: "What method?"

[Paradox Clown] replied without hesitation: "I've always suspected that the Primordial Eternal Sea was created by humans. After all, it was born 30,000 years ago. Although I don't know who created it, if that's the case, then there must be a way to get in without destroying the Eternal Certificates inside, so—"

[Absolute Defense] smiled at Xia Fa and said, "So, we still have to rely on you, Xia Fa. If you can obtain and sign the [Primordial Secret Manual], you will know how to enter the Primordial Eternal Sea without causing any losses. At that time, our chances of winning will increase a lot, or at least we won't be so desperate."

Xia Fa understood what he meant. After all, each person could only possess a maximum of three types of Eternity Certificates, but there were hundreds of them in the Primordial Eternity Sea!

If this could open the Primordial Eternal Sea, not only could I select the [Eternal Attack] I wanted most, but I could also distribute other Eternal Certificates and cultivate as many as possible, from Outer Gods to Celestial Venerables.

In that way, when dealing with the more than 10,000 awakened Gold Cleaners in less than a year, it would at least give them more confidence.

After all, besides the ten thousand Gold Cleaners, there are countless Silver and Bronze Cleaners, who also need to be dealt with.

However, the situation remains hopeless. Even if the [Absolute Defense] merges with the body and fully recovers its strength, it can only deal with more than six hundred Golden Cleansers who have formed a battle formation.

There are still over nine thousand Golden Cleansers that we can't handle, especially if they can form a supreme killing formation together—

A supreme killing formation formed by more than nine thousand or even ten thousand Gold Cleaners—just thinking about it is terrifying.

Fortunately, Xia Fa understood that, at least in this utter despair, he had found a path full of hope.

That is—during the Outer God era, frantically accumulate extraordinary talents and god-level mutations. The more you accumulate, the stronger you will be when you become a true god!

Anyway, the extraordinary talents and god-level mutations I can possess are almost limitless. When I become a true god, I might really be able to fight against ten thousand men!

That would be true invincibility.

No, invincible in the universe!

Suppressing the complex emotions surging within him, now that he had helped [Absolute Defense] regain its body, Xia Fa decided to find a divine abode or return to his own little world to try and break through to the level of an Outer God!

Time was running out, and he didn't want to delay any longer.

As if the three brothers were of one mind, Paradox Joker placed his hand on Xia Fa's shoulder again and laughed, "Alright, our eldest brother is going to re-integrate his power and body, so we won't disturb him. This may take some time, so if you need anything in the next few days, just call me, Xia Fa."

It was only then that Xia Fa noticed that although [Absolute Defense] and the young miner seemed to be embracing each other, the fusion had actually begun, and their arms that had touched had merged into one.

At the same time, a supreme aura that even he found incredibly terrifying was slowly emanating from the point of fusion, and it continued to grow stronger, as if it had no upper limit.

"it is good."

Xia Fa nodded solemnly, and almost the instant he finished speaking, his figure disappeared along with the Paradox Joker.

After half an hour.

In this little world.

"That's strange. It's one thing for Benedict and Nymphal to go to the Endless Realm, but why did they bring Chestnuts with them?"

As soon as Xia Fa emerged from the vine gate, he sensed the emptiness of the vast island.

Meanwhile, in their secret base—the treehouse in the Pirate Jungle—there was a note written by Beneath, saying that she had taken Chestnut and Meowkor to the Endless Realm and that he shouldn't worry.

Fortunately, the Endless Domain, being a cluster of civilizations of doll girls, seems to be a very safe place. Even the Silver Universe did not specifically relocate the Endless Domain to the City of Gold Pounds, which shows that it is indeed safe.

Therefore, Xia Fa was not worried. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to regulate his breathing and mental state.

He had just learned from the Paradox Clown that although it was possible to try to absorb the Eternal Certificate without fully understanding the Secret Contract, the process would be very slow.

However, if one fully understands all the secret agreements signed and absorbs the eternal certificate, it will be much faster.

This gave Xia Fa a bold guess: perhaps once he understood the Primal Stomach, he could immediately absorb the [Eternal Error]!

That's why he rushed back to the small world.

And next—we should begin to understand the "original stomach".

Then, they attacked the Outer Gods!
