I'm not just human!

Chapter 522 The Birth of the Gods (Part 1)

"It's been almost three hours, why is Xia Fa still standing there without moving?"

The Star Spirit Wright Sector.

The Moon Goddess, her gentle, watery eyes filled with worry, gazed at Xia Fa's tall and agile figure from afar.

At this moment, Xia Fa's entire body was enveloped in the pitch-black flames, and tentacles extended from his back, gripping those god-king level treasure-grade horse-slaying swords.

But unlike before, the tentacles behind Xia Fa now number far more than nine.

Xia Fa now has more than thirty tentacles on his back, but only nine of them are still wrapped around the hilt of the horse-chopping sword, while the other twenty-odd tentacles are swinging in the air.

Anyone with eyes can see that Xia Fa's influence seems to be growing.

But why is this? And what will Xiafa become? Even the nine great gods and the Moon Goddess do not know.

"Don't worry, this is the [Primordial Secret] after all, the only one in the entire universe, and a supreme-level secret contract that represents the authority of omniscience. No matter how talented Xia Fa is, he will still need time to slowly absorb its supreme power."

【Silver Universe】flew over at this moment, chuckling as she comforted the Moon Mother Goddess, but her star-like, beautiful eyes also held a hint of worry.

By now, everyone knows that back then—oh no—more than half a month ago, Xia Fa only spent a few seconds to contain and absorb the [Eternal Critical Strike], and instantly became a god.

At that time, Xia Fa was just a mortal who had signed five overlord-level secret contracts. Now, however, he possesses the body of a celestial being whose strength far surpasses that of any true god. Logically speaking, even if Xia Fa signed the [Primordial Secret Explanation], it shouldn't have taken this long.

Fortunately, Xia Fa's breathing remained stable; he simply stood still with his eyes closed. Therefore, although everyone was worried, they were not overly concerned.

"Speaking of which, isn't the phenomenon of my third brother becoming a true god a bit too exaggerated?"

[Absolute Defense] spoke at this moment, his gaze involuntarily rising to look towards the depths above the Star Spirit Starry Sky.

As a true god, and the strongest among the nine true gods, with His power, He could naturally see through the entire Star Spirit Starry Sky at a glance and see the scenes deep within the Star Spirit Starry Sky.

And it was precisely because of this that [Absolute Defense] became even more shocked and horrified.

This is because the strange phenomenon caused by Xia Fa's godhood ceremony—that is, the figure with his whole body engulfed in black flames and nine tentacles on his back wielding nine swords—has grown to be more than a hundred times the size of the entire universe in the real world.

By now, even the nine great gods had become numb to the ever-growing phenomenon. But despite their numbness, their predictions about Xia Fa's strength seemed increasingly unimaginable.

More importantly, the tentacles behind Xia Fa's current anomaly are no longer just nine, but more than thirty, just like his main body.

[The Fate Actor] looked up at the extraordinary phenomenon of Xia Fa's ascension to godhood and exclaimed, "It's truly outrageous! I've lived for over 30,000 years and have never seen anything like it, but..." "Ah ...

Suddenly, a piercing scream interrupted His words. The nine righteous gods were startled and looked in the direction from which the scream came.

That was the location of the Moon Mother Goddess. Just now, because of the [Absolute Defense], she also looked up at the strange phenomenon of Xia Fa's ascension to godhood ceremony.

Then, because of that one glance, the Moon Goddess suddenly screamed in agony. Her beautiful face turned deathly pale, blood seeped from her mouth, nose, and even her eyes. She clutched her head, and her breathing became rapidly disordered.

Fortunately, it was a mutated god. Even though it had absorbed many Eternal Certificates, the probability of it going out of control was still extremely small. Even so, the nine gods were on high alert and quickly surrounded it.

[Absolute Defense] made the first move, constructing a fence of giant scales around the sleeve. The giant scales on the fence continued to grow, and it was about to become a sphere of scales.

[Silver Universe] With a wave of her fair and delicate hand, countless starlight surged from her palm, seemingly preparing to use the primordial spatial authority of [Eternal Space] to communicate with the Moon Mother Goddess's "spatial" authority to help stabilize the situation.

The Nature Monarch shook the jewel-like leaves on its head, releasing a refreshing and vibrant aura that seeped into the scales that were about to form a sphere, ready to heal the Moon Mother Goddess.

Suddenly, all nine righteous gods stopped fighting.

This was because everyone could see that the Moon Goddess's condition had immediately returned to normal.

However, on His flawlessly beautiful face was a deep fear.

"No, no, it's impossible, how—how could there still be—"

The Moon Goddess murmured, took a few steps back, and smashed through the circular wall of scales that formed the Absolute Defense. However, she seemed too afraid to look at Xia Fa's ascension ceremony any longer, covered her head, and the look of terror on her face grew deeper and deeper.

"Sister Bedel, what happened—?"

【Silver Universe】flew over, calling out the Moon Mother Goddess's real name with concern, while asking a question.

The Moon Goddess barely managed to steady herself in the air, her chest heaving violently. After taking several deep breaths, she seemed to forcefully suppress the extreme terror in her heart before raising her head to look at the nine righteous gods.

"Do you still remember what the King of the Golden Cleaners said before he was first killed by Shafa?"

[The Paradox Joker] was suddenly taken aback: "At that time, it seemed to recognize the third brother, and then said that the third brother was some kind of extraordinary—extraordinary—but before it could finish speaking, it was pinned to the ground by the third brother with a knife."

The nine great gods, the Moon Goddess, and even Dictator were all exceptionally intelligent. In just a moment, they understood the Moon Goddess's meaning.

[Nature Monarch] clicked his tongue and said, "Moon Mother Goddess, you wouldn't be suggesting that Shafa is actually the master of the extraordinary beings the Cleaners are talking about," would you?

The other gods also looked towards the Moon Mother Goddess, awaiting her answer.

The Moon Goddess shook her head, her face pale, and said, "Thirty thousand years ago—I was so badly injured that my spirit was greatly corrupted. In order to recover from my injuries, I had no choice but to seal away some of my memories."

She paused, catching her breath slightly, and continued, "I even used the 'hidden' authority to conceal this part of my memory that I had actively sealed away, just in case I were to accidentally uncover it out of curiosity and suffer another severe mental blow."

The nine righteous gods all looked at Him curiously, waiting for Him to continue.

In fact, everyone is very curious about what major event happened 30,000 years ago that would directly usher in the entire extraordinary era.

Originally, the nine righteous gods planned to wait until Xia Fa finished signing the [Ancient Secret Explanation] before asking Xia Fa, since when they asked the Moon Mother Goddess before, she also said that she didn't know very well.

Unexpectedly, the Moon Goddess actively sealed away a portion of her memories related to 30,000 years ago, and even made it "secret" that she had actively sealed away her memories, which is equivalent to making her completely forget about it and not even daring to think about it.

But why did his memories suddenly unlock automatically? And what does this have to do with Xia Fa?

But then the Moon Goddess continued, "Just now, the memory that I had deliberately sealed was automatically unlocked because I saw the strange phenomenon of Xia Fa's godhood ceremony. I remembered everything that happened 30,000 years ago, or more precisely, right when it all happened."

As a righteous god, he naturally didn't need to waste words explaining what happened 30,000 years ago. With just a thought, his spiritual intuition was activated, and the "Palace of Spiritual Intuition" jointly constructed by the nine righteous gods, the Moon Goddess, and Xia Fa already contained images of what he had encountered 30,000 years ago.

The image was quite simple: the Moon Goddess sensed that the universe was about to face a great calamity, so she took the initiative to use her "time" authority to pause time throughout the universe, and then rushed out from Ared to meet with the Sun God King.

Then, after merely glancing up at the mysterious and colossal "being" that had brought such calamity to the universe, he suffered a tremendous backlash for attempting to stop the being from stepping down, lost consciousness, and fell into the depths of space.

Even in her coma, the Moon Goddess faintly sensed the cells on that giant foot falling off and becoming the Old Ones, and even the River of Time being burned by dark flames and vaporized into the gray mist of time.

But just this one paragraph is enough.

The nine righteous gods all tensed up, and for a moment, their auras became extremely chaotic.

Fortunately, having weathered 30,000 years of storms and experienced all sorts of ups and downs, they quickly stabilized their mental state, though their faces still wore complex expressions.

"You mean—the beginning of our extraordinary era was actually because that mysterious being, a hundred times larger than our former reality, accidentally shattered the universe?"

[Brief Reality] His expression was complicated, and he was somewhat unable to accept that things had turned out this way.

[Absolute Defense] also looked at the Moon Mother Goddess with a solemn expression, muttering, "Wait, if that's the case, Third Brother does look very much like that mysterious and enormous being. Is that why your memories were suddenly triggered and unsealed?"

Just as the Moon Goddess was about to speak, about to say something, the Paradox Clown suddenly exclaimed with a look of astonishment, "What are you afraid of? This is entirely a good thing! If Third Brother is indeed the legendary master of the extraordinary beings, then wouldn't we no longer have to worry about the arrival of the master of the extraordinary beings that the Cleaners fear most?"

Now, all nine righteous gods understand that the origin of the universe created the Cleaners not only to reclaim the spilled power, but also to prevent the arrival of the "master of the superhumans." Moreover, if the two had to be compared, the latter seemed to be more important.

Or rather, these two things are not contradictory at all. Cleansing up all the extraordinary beings in the universe can at the same time prevent the masters of the extraordinary beings from being attracted to them. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Previously, the nine righteous gods had worried that a master of some extraordinary being might descend and bring about a great disaster. But now, if Xia Fa is indeed the master of that legendary extraordinary being, then there is really nothing to fear.

Other righteous gods also chimed in.

"Yeah, if Xia Fa really is our master, I'd be happy to be his, haha."

"The master of an extraordinary being is also an extraordinary being. Could he possibly turn against us and kill each other? Besides, this is Xia Fa; I absolutely trust him."

"You can completely trust your third brother, Moon Goddess, don't be too afraid."

Unexpectedly, the Moon Goddess pursed her lips, her face growing even paler, and said, "You've all misunderstood. I've never been afraid of Xia Fa. I believe in him. I'm not worried that Xia Fa is the master of the superhumans. In fact, I'm more certain than you that Xia Fa isn't that mysterious and enormous being. I'm afraid—"

She paused slightly, then the fear on her face intensified once more: "—What if one day, that mysterious and immense being is drawn back to our world?"

In that instant, everyone suddenly realized that they had misunderstood the Moon Goddess.

But immediately, they understood the meaning of the Moon Goddess and what she was afraid of.

"You mean, no matter what, our universe has become filled with extraordinary power. The so-called master of the extraordinary might have accidentally crushed our universe, leading to the beginning of the extraordinary era. And now, once it notices us again, it might be time to reap the rewards?"

[The Paradox Joker] At this point, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had already foreseen the catastrophic scenes, and he dared not continue speaking.

[Nature Monarch] sighed, "At that point, it might not be just a matter of one kick. If it really starts paying attention to our world and uses some other means—"

"Found it!"

Suddenly, Dictator cried out in a trembling voice. Ever since the Moon Mother Goddess finished sharing what had happened 30,000 years ago, He had taken out the Star Sea Copper Pillar and seemed to be studying it.

The Starry Sea Bronze Pillar had already gathered the scattered bronze fragments from the entire universe in an instant after it had plundered the supreme power of the nine great gods and the Moon Mother Goddess. Therefore, it was already in its complete form.

The complete Star Sea Copper Pillar, like the "Omniscient" authority, records everything that happened 30,000 years ago, including all the secret techniques and magic arrays, and so on.

However, unlike the authority of "omniscience", the Starry Sea Copper Pillar only records events that occurred 30,000 years ago, and there are no records after that.

Moreover, many of the so-called "records" on the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar are riddles, and some even require specialized people to decipher them.

As Dick Tudor shouted, everyone looked over, and there he was, his eyes filled with fear, pointing to two lines of text on the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar standing to the side.

"I've deciphered these two lines before, but I didn't know their exact meaning. Now, I think I understand."

He touched the words on the bronze pillar in the starry sea, and instantly, the words transformed into a secret script that everyone could understand.

It reads prominently: "It once started everything."

"It will come again."

[The actor from Destiny] murmured, "The first sentence, it once opened everything," referring to the so-called master of the extraordinary being, and the second sentence...

[Brief Reality] said absentmindedly, "So, this extraordinary being's master will definitely return again; it's just a matter of sooner or later?"

Dick Tudor nodded, his expression both fearful and extremely solemn: "This mysterious and enormous being's strength cannot be measured by ordinary standards. After all, our entire extraordinary era was ushered in by the primordial essence of the universe being tainted by a portion of the pitch-black flames on its feet. Even the cells shed from the soles of its feet can transform into Great Old Ones—"

The nine righteous gods felt a chill in their hearts. No matter what, their power only came from the origin of the universe plus a portion of the dark flames on the feet of that extraordinary master.

The universe could be easily crushed by it, and not much of the black flames on its feet fell into the universe 30,000 years ago; only a small portion fell, yet it had already ushered in such a prosperous and extraordinary era.

In other words, as an individual who grows up in this universe, no matter how powerful they are, even if they are as powerful as Xia Fa, it seems that they are far from being a match for the master of the superhuman.

At this point, even the seemingly quiet and frail [Supreme Law] couldn't help but tremble slightly: "Its strength—is equivalent to a true god fighting against at least one trillion? Or even—hundreds of trillions?"

Suddenly, the Moon Goddess trembled again, turned her head in disbelief, and her gaze seemed to pierce through the Star Spirit Starry Sky and its depths, reaching beyond the Star Spirit Starry Sky.

"Wait, I think I sense something—"

"It's here—"
