I'm not just human!

Chapter 486 The Nine Great Gods Return to Their Positions!

"Truly, this is the Promised Land!"

At this moment, Xia Fa could only sigh in his heart, no wonder it was the Promised Land where even true gods could be trapped or even perish.

The risks are enormous, but the rewards are exceptionally high!

A piece of sacred metal the size of half a villa—since the beginning of the extraordinary era, it can be said that no place or being could have ever encountered anything like it!

Although he had completed the mechanical body-forging method after obtaining Julius's Dark Gold Axe and no longer needed sacred metals, he still needed God King metals!

Moreover, it's not just a regular need, it's an absolute necessity.

After all, having a suitable weapon is of paramount importance if one wants to defeat those more than 10,000 Gold Cleaners a year from now.

If it were an ordinary divine artifact or an ancient artifact, it would undoubtedly be damaged or shattered during the fight because it could not withstand the high-frequency impact of the divine power.

But if one had a weapon of the God-King in hand—not only would one never have to worry about wear and tear, but one would also be able to cut through anything and destroy everything, even the existence of a true god!

Just then, the sacred metal, about half the size of a villa, rose up and floated in front of them like a small mountain.

This sacred metal is clearly a mixture of elements, ranging from pure white light-seeking crystalline silver to star-whispering secret titanium to primordial explosion secret grapefruit, and so on, presenting a very strange and dreamlike color.

The gods looked at each other, and finally, the Paradox Clown spoke first: "Shafa, you deserve the most credit for our escape from the Promised Land and the revival of Brief Reality. Besides, don't you need sacred metal to cultivate the mechanical body-forging technique? You choose first."

Upon hearing this, [Brief Reality] couldn't help but glance at Xia Fa a few more times. He never expected that it was this young man, who didn't even have the aura of a true god, who had saved Him.

He had initially been utterly skeptical of the Paradox Clown's claim that Shaphat was superior to him, but now he couldn't help but believe it to some extent.

As for the Moon Goddess, she had no objections. As a mutated righteous god, she didn't have that much need for sacred metals.

Unexpectedly, Xia Fa pursed his lips and said, "Everyone, I don't really need sacred metals. Apart from needing some pure white light-seeking silver, what I really need is this."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a heavy, black horse-slaying saber extended from his hand. But then, the blade of the saber opened, revealing a bullet hole.

From the muzzle, a long, slender metal embryo, resembling a sniper rifle bullet, floated out.

At that moment, the three members of the Paradox Joker were speechless.

The reason is simple: whether it's the Paradox Joker, the Brief Reality, or the Moon Mother Goddess, they have all experienced countless life-and-death battles, so they can easily see what Xia Fa's seemingly strange treasure is all about.

Without a doubt, he had secretly hidden a highly lethal bullet in the blade of the horse-slaying sword!

In a close-quarters combat situation, Xia Fa might strike with his blade, his opponent might parry with their weapon, and just as he thinks he's safe, a bullet would shoot out from the blade—

It has to be said, it's incredibly insidious—oh no—unpredictable.

More importantly, the material used in this sniper bullet, that metal, gave the three righteous gods a feeling of supreme holiness and invincibility.

To put it dramatically, even if Julius himself came, he absolutely couldn't stop them!

"What is this?"

Looking at the bullet's material, which seemed to blend all the colors of the world yet appeared extremely balanced and harmonious, with an overall silvery hue, the Paradox Joker finally couldn't help but ask.

Xia Fa smiled slightly: "God King Metal."

The Paradox Joker asked in surprise, "God-King Metal?"

Xia Fa nodded: "That's right, I won't hide it from you. I found this in Julius's Great Axe. For more than 30,000 years after its birth, it was actually searching everywhere for sacred metal to forge its Great Axe, and collected a lot of sacred metal equivalent to more than a dozen water tanks."

He paused, then continued, "Then, without even its knowledge, so many sacred metals accumulated over the years, just as veins are born in the earth's crust and extraordinary metals are born in veins. Among these sacred metals, a small piece of extremely divine metal was finally born. I was the first to discover it, so I named it God King Metal."

Everyone present was intelligent, and after Xia Fa said that, their eyes couldn't help but turn to the sacred metal that was half the size of a villa.

"So, in that case, there might also be God King Metal inside?" Paradox Joker asked in surprise.

"It's not just possible, it's definitely possible. I've already sensed it," Xia Fa replied directly.

Now that things had come to this point, everyone naturally understood Xia Fa's meaning. The Moon Mother Goddess smiled gently and said, "I fight using my god-level mutation, and I'm not used to using weapons, so I don't need this God King Metal."

[Paradox Joker] had no time to hesitate, after all, this was his own younger brother, and immediately said, "I already have the true divine treasure anyway, third brother, you can take this God King Metal if you want."

[Brief Reality] also laughed heartily: "Xia Fa, putting everything else aside, you saved my life, so this God King Metal should belong to you. However, I have a small request. Could you spare me a grain the size of a soybean? Just one grain will do. I want to study it carefully."

Xia Fa hadn't expected the three of them to be so generous in giving away this incredibly rare divine metal. Seeing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."

In any case, the divine metal born from this half-villa-sized sacred metal was definitely as big as a water tank, which meant that it had already met the conditions for creating a divine king treasure.

In this situation, giving a single grain of God-King Metal the size of a soybean to [Brief Reality] wouldn't be a big deal.

Seeing that the agreement had been reached, Xia Fa immediately flicked his fingers, and his fingertips briefly transformed into a horse-slaying blade, from which a silver streak burst forth.

This silver streak was clearly just the Silver Throne's secret ability, "Silver Slash," but when Xia Fa used it so casually, it gave the three true gods a sense of awe and fear. In particular, the highly condensed extraordinary power within it seemed capable of destroying the real world countless times at will.

At this moment, [Brief Reality]'s expression immediately changed, from a half-doubtful and half-believing attitude to a deep respect for Xia Fa.

It's only because it's a true god that it's this powerful. What would happen if it became a true god?

"【Paradox Clown】, you three brothers, the Sun God King, are truly all freaks!"

[Brief Reality] Just as I was sincerely sighing like this, not far ahead, the sacred metal, about half the size of a villa, had already been cut open by the silver ribbon.

Then, something completely unexpected happened!

The silver streak that had been swiftly cutting through the sacred metal suddenly shattered with a loud "clang" after striking the very center!

The gods could see clearly that at the very center of that sacred metal was a piece of divine king metal the size of a water vat!

You absolutely cannot mistake its unique "seven-colored silver" hue, exclusive to the God King Metal!

"this----"

The Paradox Clown was dumbfounded. The Silver Slash that Xia Fa had just delivered felt like something that even he, at his full strength, would have had a hard time blocking.

But now, this God King Metal actually blocked the Silver Slash with ease, leaving only a very shallow dent on the surface.

From this perspective, not only is this God King Metal virtually indestructible when used to make weapons, but its protective properties are also extremely formidable when used to make armor or shields!

Xia Fa was also somewhat surprised, after all, he hadn't tested the defensive properties when he obtained the God King Metal last time.

At this moment, after a brief moment of contemplation, he grabbed with one hand, and the divine metal with its strange, multicolored silver hue immediately detached from the center of the sacred metal and flew towards the group.

But he immediately discovered that the God King Metal was not just the size of a water vat, but a full one and a half water vats in size!

This was an unexpected delight! Unlike crafting weapon-type treasures, crafting armor-type treasures simply requires turning the God King Metal into chainmail or thin plates and placing them in key protective positions!

In other words, the extra half-water-tank-sized amount of God-King metal is more than enough to forge nine God-King armors, and there's even some left over!

Xia Fa was neither hesitant nor selfish. He casually divided the God-King Metal, using the forging technique this time. He kept a piece the size of a water vat for himself and handed the half-water vat-sized piece to [Paradox Clown], laughing, "Second Brother, take this to [Error Rules] and have him forge a God-King Armor for each of you nine True Gods. I'll just forge my own God-King weapon."

Unexpectedly, the Paradox Clown grinned and said, "Third brother, you underestimate the Error Rule. With so much God-King Metal, he can forge you a full-coverage battle armor and dozens more God-King battle armors! However, they might all be a bit thinner."

Xia Fa was taken aback: "He's that powerful?"

[Paradox Joker] laughed: "That's right. When it comes to saving materials, [Error Rule] is absolutely top-notch. What's more, now that He has [Eternal Forging], He's even more amazing."

Dozens of pieces of God-King Armor—Shafa pondered, putting everything else aside, he could give one each to [Dicktide] and his ancestor [Gilgamesh].

As for why they weren't given to people like Tefaro, the Laughing Clown, or even their great-grandfather, Emperor Sharatul, it's simple: they definitely wouldn't be able to go to the battlefield when it came to the final battle against those ten thousand-plus Golden Cleansers.

After all, the worst they faced were Bronze Cleansers at the peak of godhood, which they couldn't handle.

However, in the city where gold pounds converge, all beings below the level of gods have long been engaged in logistical work, whether it's refining extraordinary elixirs, building various components for ritual arrays, or accelerating the ripening of extraordinary herbs—so, Tefal and his group will actually be able to make contributions, and quite significant ones at that time.

After calming himself down, without much thought, Xia Fa first took a bean-sized piece from his sacred metal container, the size of a water vat, and handed it to [Brief Reality]. Then he continued, "So, next—shall we go and rescue [Nature Monarch]?"

[Paradox Clown] and the Moon Goddess both nodded in agreement, and were about to set off when [Brief Reality] said, "Wait, I have some information."

All three looked at Him, and He continued without delay: "Based on my guess, the [Nature Monarch] should be trapped together with the [Supreme Law]."

The Paradox Joker was startled, his voice trembling as he exclaimed, "You—you're not kidding, are you?"

[Brief Reality] became serious and said very earnestly, "No, it's just that [Supreme Law] was probably broken apart by Julius back then. After returning, it will need to be healed by the First Entity with the support of my Reality Power."

It's falling apart — Xia Fa suddenly remembered something.

Back when the first secret contract was signed, which was the "Etheric Source," there seemed to be a few underlings next to the [Nature Monarch].

At the time, he didn't think much of it, only assuming that it was a powerful unknown entity leading several weaker unknown entities.

But now that I think about it, that was a trapped "Nature Monarch," so what unknown being was qualified to be trapped with Him?

"Since that's the case—"

Xia Fa's eyes narrowed, his expression filled with determination.

"Let's not delay, let's set off now."

"What? You mean, in a year at most, or at the shortest two months, more than ten thousand Gold Cleaners will awaken?"

In the gray fog of time, somewhere near a vast abyss.

[Brief Reality] almost cried out, staring incredulously at [Paradox Joker].

The Paradox Clown smiled wryly: "That's exactly right. Back then, I, the First History, and the Silver Universe saw it all clearly outside the Golden Sleeping Land."

Xia Fa also shook his head with a wry smile: "So, we are under a lot of pressure right now. Fortunately, we will be able to rescue the two righteous gods soon, and the Moon Mother Goddess has also joined us."

The Moon Goddess smiled slightly: "I have absorbed more than twenty kinds of tokens of eternity, and now I am considered a half-transcendent being. Helping you is actually helping myself."

Just now, while traveling, the group exchanged information with [Brief Reality], which was equivalent to helping Him fill the information gap of more than 10,000 years.

Then, the matter of the more than 10,000 gold cleaners in the land of slumbering gold was finally brought up.

As expected, [Brief Reality] was just as surprised as the Sleeves when they first discovered the truth; their eyes practically popped out of their sockets.

"No, how are we supposed to fight? Even if Big Brother recovers to his peak, plus the Moon Mother Goddess, it's still impossible. At most, we can only handle a thousand Golden Cleaners."

[Brief Reality] Their expressions turned ashen, as if they had suddenly felt a profound sense of despair.

Unexpectedly, the Paradox Clown smiled mysteriously: "There is definitely hope, but I can't tell you right now. We have to wait until we get back and have the Ninth God examine you to make sure you're really okay before we can tell you."

[Temporary Reality] There is no objection to this. In fact, during the first two millennia of the Extraordinary Era, the Nine Great Gods would occasionally return from the Time Fog or the Promised Land and have the Ninth God inspect them.

While he had no objections, he was inwardly scratching his head with extreme curiosity: "From what you're saying, you really have a way to deal with more than ten thousand Gold Cleaners at the same time? How exactly do you manage to do that?"

The Paradox Clown simply smiled without saying a word, and soon the group approached the abyss-like Promised Land.

In the hazy mist of time, the Promised Land resembled a giant, overflowing estuary, constantly absorbing the mist, yet seemingly never to be filled.

Unexpectedly, just as the group approached, a voice that sounded like it had suffered greatly, yet was filled with a rich natural atmosphere and the vitality of plants, immediately rang out from within.

"Which friend has arrived nearby? I am the [Nature Lord], one of the Nine Great Gods. Rescue me, and I will guarantee your ascension to the Heavenly Venerable!"
