I'm not just human!

Chapter 506 The Secret to the Birth of the Golden Cleaners? Finally Revealed!

"How could the Silver Throne have been absorbed by the Golden Cleanser?"

[Faulty Rule] he muttered, seemingly unable to comprehend the situation even with his universe-defying wisdom.

"Yes, the Cleaners—aren't they sworn enemies of our supernatural system? This, this—"

The Nature Monarch was also stunned. He had just been overjoyed to learn of Xia Fa's strength, but now he seemed somewhat dejected.

Just then, in the oval-shaped scene, the golden cleaner who was slowly wiping his longsword seemed to sense something and glanced in this direction, intentionally or unintentionally.

It was an extremely indifferent glance, as if it could see the nine righteous gods through this recorded image. Even so, the scarlet eyes under its mask were full of disdain, as if it didn't take the nine righteous gods seriously at all.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the image formed by the [Silver Universe] shattered abruptly, like a mirror broken by the terrifying destructive force of a sniper bullet, scattering in all directions.

With a soft "pfft," [Silver Universe] spat out a mouthful of blood filled with dazzling starlight, his face turning ashen, and he collapsed.

Xia Fa reacted quickly, grabbing her and pressing his hand on her shoulder again, frantically injecting strange electricity to help stabilize her condition.

Upon seeing this, all the gods were startled; some turned pale, while others even showed extreme fear.

It's important to understand that what the [Silver Universe] condensed was merely the scene she saw after rescuing [First History]; in other words, it was like a video playing on a television set.

However, the exceptionally powerful Golden Cleanser was able to spy on everyone through these recorded images, and even injured the Silver Universe?

"[Eternal Time]! Only [eternal time] could achieve such a thing, this—"

[Error Rule] Suddenly realizing something, his eyes widened, and his voice trembled: "The legend is actually true! One of the five fundamental level eternal credentials, [Eternal Time], is actually in the hands of the Golden Cleanser—"

Clearly, the Golden Cleaner used [Eternal Time] to reverse the recorded footage into a real-time spying, and even used it to construct a channel, which allowed it to spy on everyone and even harm the [Silver Universe]!

It's like turning back time from the scene in a photograph to the moment it was taken. This incredible ability can only be achieved by [Eternal Time], one of the five fundamental proofs of eternity!

The wind and snow continue to rage through the gates of the abode of the gods, seemingly never to cease.

Outside the gate, the nine righteous gods, along with Xia Fa and the Moon Mother Goddess, all fell silent.

The atmosphere became unbearably somber, as if a heavy stone had been placed on everyone's heart, sinking straight down as if they were about to fall into an abyss.

Only the wind and snow continued to whistle and swirl.

After a long pause, [Brief Reality] asked in a bitter voice, "What should we do next?"

Unexpectedly, everyone shook their heads, and it seemed that even the most cunning "Fate Actor" was at a loss.

"It seems unlikely that we'd be able to rush to the Golden Sleeping Land together to try and kill the Golden Cleanser, would we?"

[Supreme Law] tried to speak. Not being good at fighting, He first thought of this method, but instinctively felt that it was wrong.

[Absolute Defense] nodded silently: "That's right, [Supreme Law] You may not know, but Julius, who is only at the second level of the True God level, can form a battle formation with more than 600 Golden Cleaners at the same time. Moreover, the strength of these Golden Cleaners is already about the same as mine. Forming a battle formation with 10,000 other Golden Cleaners is simply a piece of cake."

[The Error Rule] also sighed deeply: "Xia Fa's spiritual intuition was indeed correct. Fortunately, we didn't impulsively go to rescue [First History] together, otherwise we would have been wiped out by that Golden Cleaner by now."

The Golden Cleanser's strength is equivalent to the current [Absolute Defense], meaning it can fight against a thousand enemies at the God level. Not to mention, there are more than ten thousand Golden Cleansers in the Golden Sleeping Land waiting for it to form a supreme killing battle formation.

Add to that the incredibly bizarre "eternal time" —

The gods silently pondered that if this Golden Cleanser insisted on saying so, in a battle formation with ten thousand other Golden Cleansers, he might be able to defeat fifteen thousand beings of the rank of God!

Originally, Xia Fa was already invincible in the universe, capable of fighting six thousand Golden Cleaners. But now, compared to these Golden Cleaners, he is simply no match.

This isn't simply a matter of a difference of more than three times in strength. In fact, a difference of only about a thousand would be enough to achieve a crushing victory, but now the difference is nearly ten thousand.

"What exactly is this being? What are the Gold Cleaners? Why—can such powerful individuals be born among them? Julius is already here, isn't that enough?!"

[Brief Reality] He suddenly started cursing, as if venting his anger. His emotions were already unstable, and now his tone was filled with resentment.

Seeing this, the other gods all shook their heads, some even letting out a long sigh.

How exactly the Golden Cleanser came into being, and why it is so powerful, is something no one could possibly know.

"ah!!!!!"

Suddenly, a scream came from a shop in the northwest corner of the city where gold pounds converged.

The screams were so loud, accompanied by the fluctuations of someone about to ascend from Outer God to Celestial Venerable. The True Gods exchanged glances, and finally, the Supreme Law raised its hand and grabbed at that spot.

A philosopher-servant whose head was made of book pages was bound by countless chains of laws and immediately flew out of the villa, clutching a tattered ancient book tightly in his hand.

Although the philosopher attendant was bound by the chains of the true god's laws, it showed no fear whatsoever. This was because its mind had fallen into extreme chaos, as if it had been hit by a massive influx of information and was about to completely lose control.

Seeing that the state of the [Silver Universe] in his arms had quickly stabilized, Xia Fa pursed his lips, flashed in front of the Philosopher Attendant, and placed his hand on its shoulder, injecting a large amount of strange electricity.

The gods couldn't see anything amiss with Xia Fa's move, assuming it was a secret technique he had developed to stabilize people's condition and heal injuries. However, they were all waiting for the philosopher attendant to recover.

The philosopher-servant recovered quickly, his eyes regaining their clarity in an instant. He suddenly turned his head and saw Xia Fa, his face lighting up with joy, but he immediately adopted a look of considerable awe: "[Absolute Attack] Master—"

Xia Fa shook his head slightly: "No need to be so formal. [Philosophy Pencil], did you decipher the inscription on the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar?"

He certainly recognized the Philosopher Attendant; it was the unknown entity that had once ventured into the Quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb alongside him, the fanatical tomb raiders, the [Dense White Dwarf], and the [Crimson Demon Tree]!

Oh no, it can't be called the tomb of a quasi-celestial being, since it's a tomb used by the "wrong rules" for resurrected beings.

[Error Rule] clearly remembered this [Philosophy Pencil], muttering, "I did keep a rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar back then. I'm not good at this, so when I saw you took it and you're friends with Xia Fa, I let it go. But, did you really decipher it?"

[Philosophy Pencil] nodded, then shook his head: "Reporting to all the righteous gods, I did indeed decipher it, but only a small part. However, at the same time as I deciphered it, I was inexplicably struck by an impact from a righteous god's rank and almost perished. Fortunately, Lord [Absolute Attack] came to my rescue."

As it spoke, it opened the tattered ancient book in its hand, flipping to the first page and pointing to the first line.

Perhaps due to its condition, it showed signs of breaking through to the Celestial Venerable realm again. The righteous gods all understood that for unknown beings like the Philosopher Attendant, once they could solve major mysteries in extraordinary or mutated history, or decipher the inscriptions on supreme divine objects such as the Star Sea Copper Pillar, their strength would increase greatly.

Unfortunately, when it comes to deciphering, the only ones truly skilled are [First History] and his son [Observer of All Things], along with [Apostle of Knowledge]. None of the true gods present were truly proficient in this area.

Fortunately, the Philosophy Pencil has successfully deciphered this passage. Everyone crowded around to see what it had deciphered that could allow a Philosophy Attendant of Outer God rank to directly ascend to the rank of Celestial Venerable.

And why it was suddenly attacked by the aura of a true god.

Immediately, the gods were all taken aback, and even Xia Fa's pupils shrank slightly, as if he had seen some extremely incredible characters.

What the "philosophy pencil" had deciphered was a passage of scripture: "When those thirty thousand years come, a king who will decide everything will be born."

"It will lead its army back to the world and exterminate all those who should not exist, along with those filthy creatures."

"All beings will recite its name and rejoice that the universe has been restored to holiness."

"And when it all ends, it will return to its former place and fall into slumber."

"When it awakens, it wields the sword of judgment; that is the wrath of a king, unstoppable."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the gods looked at each other, seemingly understanding something.

"A king, a king—meaning, the Golden Cleaner is the king among the Golden Cleaners?"

[Faulty Rule] muttered, his tone suddenly filled with deep regret: "If only I had found the [Apostle of Knowledge] or the [Observer of All Things] back then and had them decipher this text—"

The gods all understood what he was saying. The birth of this King of the Golden Cleansers was definitely not something that could be achieved overnight, and there was a chance to stop it.

If we had known the inscription on this bronze pillar of the starry sea beforehand, things might have taken a dramatic turn for the better.

But it's too late to say anything now. The king among the Golden Cleansers has already been born, and just like this scripture, he will annihilate all extraordinary beings in the world and restore the universe to its sacred state.

"No wonder it's so powerful, it's the King of the Gold Cleaners—"

The Paradox Joker sighed, shook his head, and looked dejected and desperate.

Xia Fa, however, asked in confusion, "The Star Sea Copper Pillar was born during that great event 30,000 years ago, and was subsequently destroyed during that event, but—"

His meaning was clear: there are no prophecies in this world that can span tens of thousands of years; being able to predict for a few decades or a few hundred years is already the limit.

But why did the Star Sea Copper Pillar foretell the birth of the King of the Golden Cleansers 30,000 years ago?

[Error Rule] sighed softly, "Xia Fa, I understand what you mean. If I had to say something, I would say that the King of the Golden Cleaners was destined to be born 30,000 years ago. It just took a full 30,000 years for him to be born. This is not a prophecy, but simply a faithful record of everything that will happen."

Xia Fa was suddenly taken aback: "If that's the case—"

He once had a very bold conjecture, but he wasn't sure. Now, with the deciphering of this passage, this conjecture seems to be truly confirmed.

Seeing that the gods were all looking at him, Xia Fa stopped hesitating and uttered his shocking conjecture in a deep voice: "The Golden Cleaners—could they have been born from the origin of the universe? Because the universe's origin was damaged in the great event 30,000 years ago, countless authorities and powers were leaked out, turning into things like the proof of eternal covenants and extraordinary talents. So, the universe created the Golden Cleaners to reclaim them?"

Unexpectedly, the gods didn't seem too surprised when they said that.

[The Destiny Actor] smiled bitterly: "Actually, we've had this suspicion for a long time, but we didn't dare to confirm it or admit it. After all, if it's the universe's instinct to destroy us extraordinary beings, that would be too despairing."

[The Error Rule] continued, "But now, whether we want to admit it or not, we have to. As early as 30,000 years ago, the universe's instinct had planned everything, creating the Golden Sleeping Land, and especially creating this King of the Golden Cleansers. The previous two attacks by the Golden Cleansers were just a pretext."

The previous two times were naturally the time when Julius was born 30,000 years ago, and the time when Julius led more than 600 newly born Golden Cleansers to attack the Nine Great Gods 10,000 years ago.

In retrospect, both instances were intended to conceal the birth and growth of this King of Gold Cleaners, along with the more than ten thousand Gold Cleaners.

This King of the Golden Cleansers is the one who truly embodies the will of the universe's origin to reclaim all leaked power!

And it is about to complete its growth, and with its majestic presence, it will lead thousands of troops to sweep away all the extraordinary beings in the universe!

The gods all understood this principle, but precisely because of this, a great sense of resentment and frustration arose in their hearts.

"Why? Just because the origin of the universe wants to reclaim its power, we extraordinary beings must die?"

[Brief Reality] As her emotions grew more intense, Xiu now looked more like a true artist.

"There's nothing we can do. The origin of the universe—or rather, the universe itself—should not possess a true will; everything is driven by instinct. However, this should be its strongest and last resort. Unfortunately, we can't withstand it."

The Paradox Joker shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Xia Fa's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly spoke, "What if we manage to pull through?"

The gods were all taken aback, and then they all looked at him.

While everyone else was feeling down and hopeless, only Xia Fa quickly composed himself, regained his confidence, and now he seemed to be radiating light.

"Three days, just three days. Once I obtain the [Primordial Secrets] and become a true god, I won't fear this mere King of the Golden Cleansers, let alone dozens more!"
