I'm not just human!

Chapter 482 Clues to Two Other Primal-Level Eternal Certificates?

At this moment, Xia Fa, the Paradox Clown, and the Moon Goddess were all stunned.

The only reason the three of them risked their lives to enter this promised land was to rescue [the transient reality].

The challenge lies in overcoming the obstacle formed by hundreds of identical humanoid monsters while being temporarily restored to normal human form, and successfully reaching the second-floor balcony of the villa.

As it turns out, the "brief reality" wasn't actually on the second-floor balcony, nor was it even unconscious; instead, it was in the small kitchen on the first floor.

Wait, He called everyone "three guests," what does that mean?

Xia Fa and the other two were all extremely intelligent people. Upon seeing this, their eyes flashed with different colors, but they did not hesitate at all and immediately slipped into the small kitchen.

boom!

With a loud bang, the Paradox Clown slammed the door of the small kitchen shut, blocking the hundreds of humanoid monsters behind him from entering.

The three of them breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then simultaneously looked towards the [brief reality].

The middle-aged painter-looking [Brief Reality] appeared rather pale, whether from being frightened by these humanoid monsters or for some other reason, but his face suddenly lit up with surprise and relief. He said in a heartfelt voice, "I never expected the three of you to still be alive! Thank goodness, this gives the four of us a chance to escape!"

The Paradox Joker frowned: "[Temporary Reality], you really don't recognize me?"

The middle-aged painter-looking [Brief Reality] asked in surprise, "[Brief Reality]? Who is that? Guest, you haven't been driven mad by those terrifying humanoid monsters, have you? —"

The Paradoxical Clown's gaze sharpened, then he said, "Your name is Leonardo da Vinci, right?"

[Brief Reality] Upon hearing this, instead of being surprised, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's me. I'm the tutor hired by the owner of this villa to teach the young master to draw, even though he's as stupid as a pig and has absolutely no talent in art."

This slightly disdainful and arrogant tone somehow made the Paradox Joker secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as if this was the true nature of the Brief Reality.

Before the three could continue questioning, [Brief Reality] interjected, "What are we supposed to do? By the way, where have you three been hiding in this villa for the past three days? Damn it, that rich man Ritek has gone crazy, insisting on holding a potion feast. If we can't escape soon, we'll run out of food and water!"

A potion feast?

Upon hearing this crucial information, Xia Fa and the other two were all taken aback and exchanged glances.

The Moon Goddess suddenly seemed to remember something and pursed her lips slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa said, "We pretended to be drunk to avoid drinking that potion, and hid in our respective rooms. We've been surviving on the red wine, biscuits, and chocolate in our rooms for the past few days, sigh—"

As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he deeply regretted being invited to the banquet three days prior.

Even though Paradox Clown and Moon Goddess are both highly knowledgeable righteous gods, they couldn't help but be slightly surprised to see Xia Fa get into character so quickly.

Because his acting was so impeccable, an uninformed person would really think he was a guest trapped in the villa with [Brief Reality].

[Brief Reality] As expected, he fell for it and nodded thoughtfully: "I see—so you ran out of food and water, which is why you had to risk coming out? By the way, I have some sausages and cheese here."

As he spoke, he turned around and opened the cupboard, where there were indeed several sausages and a large piece of cheese.

"If we divide it up, this food should last us a few more days, but we're almost out of water."

[Brief Reality] pointed to the sink next to the stove not far away and said with a strange expression, "I suspect these terrible monsters like to drink water! All the water pipes in this villa are connected to the underground well, so there should be no situation where there is no water. But since yesterday, the water has stopped flowing. Maybe they blocked the underground well to steal the water."

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked towards the water tank. They saw that the tank only contained a small amount of water, which was not enough for everyone to share, and it would probably be used up in a day.

By now, Xia Fa and the other two understood that something must have gone wrong with [Brief Reality], to the point that it had forgotten its identity as one of the nine great gods and had mistaken itself for a down-on-its-luck middle-aged painter.

However, the three of them were completely baffled as to why this was happening, where these humanoid monsters came from, and how to break out of this Promised Land.

"It's okay, let's think of something. Now that there are more people, maybe we can just break through?"

Xia Fa forced a smile, patted [Brief Reality] on the shoulder, and then continued, "The three of us have some things to discuss. You don't mind, do you? Don't worry, it's definitely not about plotting to harm you behind your back. After all, that wouldn't benefit us."

[Brief Reality] He smiled awkwardly: "No—it's alright, you guys discuss it, I'll just stay out of it."

As he spoke, he actually walked away and stood in another corner of the small kitchen.

Although the small kitchen wasn't large, it was still several dozen square meters. He deliberately stood so far away that, given that everyone was just an ordinary person, they really couldn't hear what was being discussed. Clearly, he was intentionally trying to avoid suspicion.

Xia Fa didn't waste any time and immediately said, "Do you know of any magic potions that can turn people into these infinitely replicating monsters? If so, maybe that's the key to breaking this deadlock."

[Paradox Clown] pondered for a while, but shook his head: "As far as I know, there is no, or rather, there are dozens of potions with similar effects, but after being turned into a humanoid monster, it is impossible for them to have the strength and speed of an ordinary person. They must at least be equivalent to the strength of an Eagle-level monster."

Xia Fa pondered for a moment and said, "Is that so—"

The Moon Goddess then said, "I suspect this might not be a potion from your extraordinary era, but rather from our mutated era."

Xia Fa immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

The Moon Goddess sighed softly and said, "In our time, not everyone who consumed the mutated crystal or mutated flesh ball could awaken a mutation and become a mutant. In fact, it was difficult for 90% of people to awaken a mutation. We mutants were actually a minority."

She paused, then changed the subject: "However, since consuming mutated crystals or mutated fleshballs didn't cause much harm to the body, many wealthy people who hadn't become mutated liked to hold these potion banquets, buying mutated fleshballs or mutated crystals at high prices, decocting them with various herbs, and then sharing them among themselves."

Xia Fa asked in surprise, "What effect will this have?"

The Moon Goddess shook her head: "No, in fact, those who cannot become mutants simply cannot, no matter how hard they try. Therefore, this kind of magic potion feast not only has no effect, but sometimes it can even have the opposite effect, turning people into monsters. However, that's not a problem with the mutant crystal source and the mutant flesh ball, but rather with certain herbs that have been contaminated with mutant power."

Xia Fa briefly gathered his thoughts and said, "You mean, these humanoid monsters were actually caused by drinking potions from your mutated era?"

The Moon Goddess said, "If your extraordinary era truly lacks potions for similar situations, then this is the only possibility."

A thoughtful look appeared in Xia Fa's eyes: "Let me think—"

From the initial "brief reality" of being unconscious in the Promised Land where he first glimpsed the villa's appearance from afar in the gray fog of time, to the three of them being temporarily restored to ordinary people after breaking in, plus the encounter with these identical humanoid monsters—all sorts of clues connected in his mind.

After several seconds of thought, he spoke up: "I think the situation involving this Promised Land is very likely like this."

As soon as Xia Fa spoke, the Paradox Clown and the Moon Goddess both looked at him immediately, not daring to interrupt him in the slightest.

Even though the Paradox Clown is a being formed from the brain, nerves, and eyes of the Sun God King tainted with extraordinary power, in terms of intelligence and cunning, He seems to consider Himself slightly inferior to Shafa.

Therefore, Xia Fa's opinion is needed now more than ever.

"[Brief Reality] More than 20,000 years ago, for some unknown reason—of course, it was very likely that I was forced to flee into the Time Mist to escape the pursuit of the fake Nine Great Gods and the Golden Cleansers. Then, I was bewitched by the clone and eventually entered this villa-like Promised Land."

"As for why they violated those three ironclad rules and ended up following the clone into this Promised Land, that remains unknown."

"But the real key point is that He has been trapped here ever since."

"This must be some kind of spiritual realm. [Temporary Reality] thinks he is just a down-on-his-luck middle-aged painter, blocked by countless humanoid monsters, unable to escape, and facing the prospect of running out of food and water."

"If the day comes when the food and water run out, this place should be reset, and his experience of hiding in the small kitchen for those few days will be repeated."

"For over ten thousand years, He may have been enacting similar scenes all along."

"In this situation, if we want to rescue [Brief Reality], or rather, wake [Brief Reality] up, the only way is to kill all these humanoid monsters!"

The Paradox Joker, who had been listening intently, couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't we rescue the Brief Reality from the villa? If this really is His mental realm, wouldn't he wake up once he feels safe after we rescued him?"

Xia Fa shook his head: "The reason is simple. When we entered this Promised Land, we were right outside the gate of the villa. Moreover, there was no way behind us. In other words, even if we rescued [Brief Reality], we would be trapped outside the villa and unable to truly bring Him back to the 'home' where He felt safe. He would remain unconscious until he was reset again."

After a pause, Xia Fa added, "Of course, this is just my guess. We can try to rescue [Brief Reality] from the villa once. If that doesn't work, we can think of a way to kill all these humanoid monsters."

The Paradoxical Joker, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, said, "This works too—"

But just then, the Moon Goddess seemed to remember something and said, "There's no need to try the second method. We have to kill all the humanoid monsters here."

Xia Fa and the Paradoxical Clown both looked at her and asked in unison, "Why?"

The Moon Goddess shook her head slightly: "Now that you mention it, I remember that more than seven thousand years ago, when I was traveling through the gray mist of time, I also accidentally stumbled into a similar promised land. At that time, I was searching for some kind of eternal proof and accidentally wandered in."

She paused briefly, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "You should know that the Promised Land comes in many forms. Some Promised Lands are like this, evolving into something akin to 'barriers.' Overcoming these barriers allows you to obtain what you desire. The [Temporary Reality] is probably trapped in this way as well."

[The Paradoxical Joker] suddenly realized, "So, escaping only means exiting this level; only by killing all the monsters here can you truly say you've successfully completed it?"

The Moon Goddess nodded and explained in detail, "Yes, the Promised Land I entered didn't turn me back into an ordinary person, so I easily killed those monsters, obtained the Eternity Certificate I wanted, and left."

"I just realized from Xia Fa's mention that these two Promised Lands should be similar. When I entered my Promised Land, it turned out to be a mental hospital full of nurses who had turned into zombies."

"Moreover, after I killed all those zombie nurses, I inexplicably woke up in a hospital ward, and the certificate of eternity turned into a medicine bottle on the cabinet next to me, which is very similar to the current situation."

By this point, the three of them had almost reached a consensus.

That is, to kill all five hundred-plus humanoid monsters here, and thus awaken the [brief reality]!

However, this is precisely the real problem.

How do you kill these humanoid monsters with extremely strong self-healing abilities, who can grow back into new individuals after having their limbs or other body parts cut off, when everyone has been restored to normal?

This is almost impossible.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just then, a loud banging sounded outside the small kitchen door.

[Brief Reality] As if on high alert, she rushed over in a few steps, forcefully blocking the door, her face filled with extreme anxiety: "Three guests, have you discussed this? These monsters have started ramming the door! Please help me! They'll stop ramming for a while, then come back and ram the door again after a while. It's like this every day!"

Xia Fa and the other two exchanged a glance, just about to step over.

Click!

With a loud crash, the not-so-thin peach wood door of the small kitchen was smashed open, and several humanoid monsters squeezed out of the broken door, immediately pinning [Brief Reality] to the ground and tearing at it.

"this----!"

Xia Fa was stunned. He grabbed the spatula that had been on the kitchen counter and prepared to rush over to save the person.

But at that moment, his movements involuntarily stopped.

Not only him, but even the Paradox Joker and the Moon Goddess maintained their stance, ready to rush out to save people. Even the humanoid monsters that had pinned down the Brief Reality all stopped.

Time seemed to stand still.

Only one person can move in the [brief reality].

Suddenly, He stood up, panting heavily, his body radiating an extremely majestic divine aura. His eyes were unfocused, but he murmured, "Origin-level Eternal Certificate, Origin-level Eternal Certificate. Once I find it, I can go back and kill those damned false gods."

A fundamental, perpetual certificate?

Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat. He had ventured into this unknown Promised Land through a brief reality adventure, only to find that he was searching for a Primal Eternal Certificate?

But at that moment, everything in the kitchen, the humanoid monster, and everything else in the place rippled like water.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery first became blurry, and then became clear again.

The world changed, and the three of them reappeared outside the gate of the villa's courtyard.
