I'm not just human!

Chapter 525 The Birth of the Gods (Part 4)

Xia Fa, upon seeing this, began to ponder and realized something.

Judging from this situation, it seems that it was extremely difficult for me, as an ordinary person who did not possess any mutated or extraordinary power 30,000 years ago, to fuse with the heart or stomach of the Sun God King.

Therefore, the combination of the "Eternal Talent" and the "Eternal Loss of Control" allowed him to absorb for 30,000 years?

No, it's not just about absorbing the heart or stomach of the Sun God King for a full 30,000 years; there's also the issue of "complete fusion."

The perfect integration and harmonious coexistence of the ordinary human being as its original form, the heart and stomach of the Sun God King from the mutated system, and the two of the five fundamental eternal credentials from the extraordinary system—the [Eternal Talent] and the [Eternal Loss of Control]—is extremely difficult.

Therefore, he "slept" for 30,000 years until the three were completely integrated and no longer conflicted with each other.

But why did I still end up in Rum City under the influence of the [Eternal Talent], and even undergo a reincarnation?

With these questions in mind, Xia Fa continued reading.

[Shaffar, no bigger than a dewdrop and enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, hovered above Rum City. Whether demigods or angels occasionally passed by, they could not detect him. Above, the sun and moon rose and set in turn, white clouds hurried by, and the four seasons visited this small town year after year; several more years had passed.]

Finally, Xia Fa, no bigger than a dewdrop and enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, moved.

He slowly descended, flying to Daniel Street in the main city of Rum, to the slums of Daniel Street, and to an old, two-story attic.

In the small attic, a young couple looked distressed. They had been married for several years but had not been able to conceive. They had seen doctors, but it was no use, and praying at St. Vivian's Church had also been ineffective.

Given their status as dockworkers and restaurant kitchen helpers, they simply couldn't afford to hire extraordinary doctors who had signed secret contracts with "healers."

Not to mention, they had to rush to Augustus and pull strings to get there.

Unbeknownst to the young couple, the tiny, dewdrop-sized Shafa, enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, had quietly entered the wife's body.

A little over a month later, the young couple were overjoyed to discover that the wife was pregnant. The husband worked even harder at the dock, and the wife, despite being pregnant, worked tirelessly in the restaurant kitchen from dawn till dusk, and even secretly learned some children's meal recipes.

[For no other reason than to provide a better environment for the unborn child, no matter how hard or tiring it may be.]

One day, after finishing his work as a dockworker, the husband slipped on the bridge on his way home and fell into the sea, knocking unconscious a "treasure-swallowing pufferfish." This was a relatively inexpensive supernatural creature, but the price he made was enough to cover half a year's salary.

To his even greater surprise, the treasure-swallowing pufferfish had a whole bag of gold coins hidden inside its belly!

The money pouch was made of treated deer hide, which is resistant to corrosion even in seawater. Therefore, the gold coins inside were perfectly preserved and were even swallowed by the treasure-swallowing pufferfish.

Having received such a windfall, equivalent to more than the couple's combined income over the past ten years, the husband immediately persuaded his wife to quit her job and stay home to rest during her pregnancy, while he worked even harder.

However, neither the couple saw that high in the clouds above Rum City, the extraordinary Grand Prince of the "Church of Paradox," "Emperor Sharatul," after confirming that the couple were living a happy and stable life without any financial worries, couldn't help but show a faint smile on his usually serious face before departing with satisfaction.

[It turns out that all of this was the result of His influence through the principle of "eternal conditions"]

Finally, after ten months of pregnancy, my wife gave birth to a healthy, chubby baby.

The baby didn't cry or fuss at birth; he simply pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, then fell asleep after a while. The couple found it strange, but didn't think much of it.

The husband cooked the dried pufferfish he had prepared long ago into a soup and fed it to his beloved son. He hadn't sold the pufferfish, fearing that others would covet it, so he secretly dried it in the attic's pickling room. Later, he used half of it to make soup for his wife who was about to give birth, and kept the other half for his son.

Based on the surname and middle name passed down from his grandfather and father, the husband named his son "Shaphat de Augustus".

Even as he grew up and worked as a dockworker with his father, he harbored a dual desire to become an extraordinary being and a wish to marry a gentle and beautiful wife and start his own family.

When he was nineteen, his parents suddenly disappeared. He searched everywhere to no avail for several years, almost to the point of despair and madness.

[After finally managing to pull through with the hope that her parents might still be alive, she was preparing to work like crazy to save money to hire a superhuman to help her find them when, one day not long after, she was accidentally entangled by a snow demon.]

[After being tormented by the extreme cold for three consecutive nights, he fainted. But not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer filled with exhaustion and despair, but instead they were dark and bright, full of curiosity and exploration of the world, as well as caution and wariness.]

The images in his mind ended there, but Xia Fa was stunned.

To be honest, perhaps because he initially thought he was a "time traveler," he didn't have much of an impression of the original owner's parents.

Now he understands that his parents really loved him very much and gave him the best possible environment, almost everything they had.

And then there's our great-grandfather, Emperor Sharatu, who seems to care nothing for these descendants with thin bloodlines who can't sign secret pacts, but in reality, he secretly provides them with a great deal of appropriate assistance.

Of course, it's possible that there were too many descendants like Gilgamesh with diluted bloodlines, which meant that his great-grandfather had too many things to take care of. After confirming that he and his parents were safe and sound and living a happy and stable life, he didn't pay much attention to them anymore.

Otherwise, when I signed the first and second hegemon-level secret contracts, my great-grandfather might have been able to sense it earlier.

Of course, in that case, I might miss out on a lot of extraordinary encounters. I would just be carefully nurtured in the family. Whether that would be good or bad is hard to say.

As for why he was reincarnated once, he already had a vague idea.

"Now you understand, right?"

The young man opposite suddenly spoke, smiling as he continued, "The [Eternal Talent] and [Eternal Loss of Control] took a full 30,000 years to completely stabilize your state. Then, we specially selected the most suitable environment for your stable anchor point in the entire universe, and carried you to reincarnation."

Xia Fa smiled and replied, "I understand. Only by living in this universe for over twenty years as an ordinary person on a life-bearing planet in a transcendent world can I avoid confusion about my self-perception. This is my own anchor point," and it's necessary.

The young man nodded: "Yes, not only that, but you consider yourself a time traveler," so your strong ability to accept things is also key. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to accept so quickly that they can randomly freeload meals, become a physical being, and have a burning sensation inside their body to save their life in times of crisis. They would have already gone insane and mentally unstable."

He paused, then changed the subject: "On the other hand, the family you were reincarnated into through the [Eternal Talent] is actually very good. The bloodline of the Gilgamesh family can further enhance your talent, which is why you have the potential to sign all ten overlord-level secret contracts. As for the bloodline of the Prometheus family, I guess it's just so you can get that sandalwood box containing your polluted blood in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite grateful for both the "Eternal Talent" and the "Eternal Loss of Control."

Although these two fundamental eternal credentials do not possess true intelligence, they have indeed helped them a great deal through instinct and authority.

"Alright, now, aside from a few minor issues, you shouldn't have any major doubts left, right?"

The young man opposite suddenly asked a question, his expression once again bearing a strange yet expectant smile.

Xia Fa suddenly became alert. Although he was very certain that the young man opposite him was a part of his spirit and even looked exactly like him, the young man's behavior seemed a little strange.

Why was he so concerned about figuring out all the doubts in his heart?

Bang!!!!!

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the young man opposite exploded, turning into countless blue light spots that converged towards him.

The speed was extremely fast, and Xia Fa had no time to react. The blue light spot that the youth had transformed into had completely merged into his body. Immediately afterwards, the manifestation of the "omniscient" authority, which had originally seemed to cover the sky and be endless, including books, newspapers, and television sets, also merged into his body.

In that instant, Xia Fa suddenly realized something.

The young man was indeed a part of his own spirit, and the reason he so desperately wanted to understand most of the doubts in his heart was to accelerate the signing of the [Ancient Secrets].

That's right. When the doubts in one's heart are mostly answered, one is equivalent to reaching the state of "knowing". This can be in line with the authority of "omniscience", greatly accelerating the signing of the [Ancient Secrets], and there are actually no hidden dangers.

If it weren't for this, even with my current strength, it would take me about three days to complete the signing. If it were a fifth-tier god, it might take tens of thousands of years to complete the signing.

After all, this is the only supreme-level secret contract in the universe that represents the authority of "omniscience".

Countless pieces of knowledge, information, intelligence, secrets, rumors, news—all of these suddenly flooded into his brain, but Xia Fa felt no pain whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt incredibly comfortable.

Because he had completely grasped the power of "omniscience," he only felt pleasure towards all of this.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that he could turn the "omniscient" state on or off at any time.

If it's enabled, you'll be aware of everything that happens in this world anytime, anywhere.

If it's turned off, it'll be the same as before, but whatever doubts you have, as long as they're within this world, you'll know them immediately and automatically.

He felt his status completely ascend to that of a true god. At the same time, under the influence of the "omniscient" authority, he vaguely saw other things, things he had been curious about or wondered about before.

It turns out that Chestnut and Beneath were attracted to each other because they each possessed half of the "eternal cycle of reincarnation," which led to their early encounter.

It turns out that back in the underground cave realm, the Poisonous Chieftain Veronica sensed an aura similar to "rules" on herself. Coupled with the strange invasion of her territory, she retreated.

Similarly, she hunted down Barnes because she sensed the aura of the Eternal Token on Barnes. Barnes had repeatedly escaped capture by using the [Eternal Reincarnation], but she was too weak at the time and didn't even realize it herself.

In addition, Xia Fa also saw the origins of some entities.

The inventor of the Black Bag, the legendary Celestial Venerable "Suochuwu Kongjian," was actually the first to break through and attempt to become a true god 30,000 years ago. However, he failed to break through and almost went out of control. In desperation, he separated a part of his body and spirit to take away the out-of-control pollution.

This part of the body and spirit then transforms into a physical "narrator".

Xia Fa also saw a wealthy man from a privileged family who was born into nobility. His only passion in life was to search for delicious food everywhere, both to eat it and to learn how to cook it himself.

He kept searching, eating, and replicating the flavors of the dishes. Not only could he perfectly replicate them, but he could even surpass the original level in every dish, even if the other party was a famous chef in a country or even in the world.

He loved and searched for delicious food for over a hundred years, and even as he was about to die, he still longed to taste the most authentic local snack.

Just as he was about to breathe his last, the "Eternal Gourmet" descended from the sky and merged into his body.

In an instant, he transformed from a decadent old man into an elegant young man who loved food. Suddenly, he vanished and reappeared in a restaurant, asking customers if they wanted to order.

Xia Fagen saw that there was a boy born into an extraordinary family of tomb raiders who had been crazy about tomb raiding since childhood. This led to his tomb raiding skills surpassing those of the most powerful and experienced patriarch in the family when he had just come of age.

However, one night during his unauthorized actions, he found himself trapped in a great tomb of a transcendent monarch and was unable to escape. When the old patriarch learned of this, he brought his parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts to rescue him, but they all died in the tomb and were unable to save the boy.

The young man was heartbroken and cried in the tomb for a full half month until his extraordinary power was exhausted and he had not eaten or drunk anything, and was on the verge of death.

Suddenly, all the extraordinary tombs in the entire universe and even the Protoss Realm trembled, including the ancient tombs, all of which emitted a strange and grand fluctuation, as if they resonated with him in some way.

He remained oblivious, stood up, his expression blank, picked up the bird-beak hoe, and continued digging deeper into the tomb.

The more he dug, the more excited he became, but it was a completely different kind of excitement than before. His excitement bordered on fanaticism, yet he remained utterly indifferent.

As he watched, Xia Fa suddenly realized something and opened his eyes.

Upon opening his eyes, he found himself no longer in the promised land of "the gathering place of geniuses," but instead—returned to the Protoss Gaia star system.

The next moment, he saw his eldest brother [Absolute Defense] and second brother [Paradox Clown], along with other righteous gods, flying towards him in great haste.

"What happened?"

-

He had barely opened his mouth to ask a question when he suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly and directly invoked his "omniscient" authority.
