I'm not just human!

Chapter 527 The Great Battle (Part 1)

Xia Fa's gaze slowly swept over the expectant faces of the nine great gods and the Moon Mother Goddess before he continued, "The essence of the gods is actually a completely new and higher level of life form, which is not even related to rank. However, the way to achieve it is very complicated."

"Life form?" [Error Rule] couldn't help but ask, all five heads seemed to be deep in thought, but their contemplation contained great confusion.

"That's right, a life form, but this kind of life form cannot be achieved through conventional means such as merging with other species, raising one's status, or cultivating a certain secret technique to an extremely high level. There is only one way to become a god—strength."

Xia Fa paused slightly before continuing, "Moreover, the key point here is that it's not that you can only possess the power of a god after becoming one; on the contrary, you first possess such power, and your life form will automatically undergo a tremendous transformation, thus becoming a god."

Upon hearing these words, the nine righteous gods and others seemed to understand something and began to ponder.

"So, Third Brother, you first became that cocoon, and then broke out of it. Essentially, you underwent a transformation at the level of life, becoming a god? And the King of the Golden Cleansers was one level below you in terms of life, which is why he couldn't defeat you?" Paradox Joker asked.

"Yes and no," Xia Fa said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing everyone looking over again, Xia Fa smiled and explained, "Actually, what I initially transformed into was less of a black cocoon and more of a ball of flesh. At that time, I was in a semi-confused state of mind, and this was a form I transformed into instinctively to counter the causal destruction strike of the Golden Rune Cleanser, King Fa."

He paused briefly, seemingly recalling the situation at that time, before continuing, "However, after being in that form, I somehow triggered the authority of [Eternal Error] within me. Coupled with [Eternal Talent] and [Eternal Loss of Control], the potential I had accumulated by constantly consuming secret contracts suddenly erupted, which propelled me to the strength of a god, and thus I became a god."

However, this seemingly ordinary sentence left the nine righteous gods and others completely bewildered.

"Xia Fa, what are you saying? What do you mean by eating the Secret Contract? You can eat the Secret Contract?" [Destiny Actor] wondered if he had misheard.

"What are 'Eternal Talent' and 'Eternal Loss of Control'? And there are two kinds of eternal credentials?" The 'Error Rule' was also astonished.

"Wait, could these be the last two primordial-level eternal certificates?" Dick Tudor was clever and immediately figured it out.

Xia Fa smiled and nodded slightly: "That's right, that's why I said earlier that it can greatly enhance your talents. On the other hand, if you continue to follow the extraordinary system, you can cultivate without worry and become stronger without ignoring the hidden dangers of growing too fast. Anyway, I can help you suppress the tendency to go out of control."

[First History] suddenly exhaled a breath of turbid air, muttering incredulously, "The last two kinds of primordial-level eternal credentials are actually [Eternal Talent] and [Eternal Loss of Control], and both of them are on you, Xia Fa. This is truly—"

The nine righteous gods and the Moon Goddess were all deeply shaken, and a variety of complex emotions arose within them.

On the one hand, no one expected that "talent" and "loss of control" would be the two of the seven fundamental eternal powers.

On the other hand, it also helped them clarify many of their doubts about Xiafa.

"No wonder, no wonder you're so powerful, Third Brother. In just over a month and a half, you not only went from a mortal to a true god, but you also gained the strength of a celestial god. It turns out it's because you possess the [Eternal Talent] —" [Absolute Defense] sighed deeply.

"Thinking about it carefully, the combination of the Eternal Certificates on you is just too perfect. Originally, you only had the [Eternal Talent], and you might have lost control because of your rapid advancement. But you also have the [Eternal Loss of Control], which immediately suppressed it. Damn, I'm even envious of myself." Dick Tudor was also extremely impressed.

"So, the reason you mentioned eating the secret contract is because of [Eternal Loss of Control]? No wonder—" [Error Rule] was still trying to analyze.

[First History] pondered, "Everyone has it, everyone will encounter it—so that's what the riddle on the Star Sea Copper Pillar about the last two kinds of primordial eternal certificates means."

[Silver Universe] suddenly flew over, curiously circling Xia Fa for a long time, and said, "Xia Fa, I do feel that your life level seems to be much, much higher than ours. So, if we continue to cultivate through the extraordinary system to become gods, will we become like you?"

Xia Fa smiled and shook his head: "That's unlikely. The gods represent a new form of life, and each person is unique. Unless they follow the exact same path, they will never be the same."

"And since you can't consume secret contracts, you can't possibly control the full power of a superhuman's master, so you can't be like me."

"As for why I look similar to the master of the superhuman, it is precisely because of this that I have mastered almost all of its power system, which is the superhuman system represented by the thousand secret contracts."

At this point, Xia Fa changed the subject: "However, I am only temporarily the same as the master of the superhuman. Once I upgrade the fifteen divine mutations in my body towards the direction of a celestial god, my celestial god form will be greatly different."

This is actually one of the reasons why he is confident that he can defeat the superhuman master in two days. Even if it is only for two days, he can continue to become stronger. On the one hand, he can try to absorb the [Eternal Destruction], [Eternal Cause and Effect], and [Eternal Time]. On the other hand, the fifteen god-level mutations in his body can continue to be developed.

Currently, [Endless Creation Opportunity] and [Unshakeable Realm] have been developed to a depth of 1200% in the previous life-or-death battle with the King of the Golden Cleansers, and the others have also reached a depth of 300% in the battle, with a lot of room for improvement.

On the other hand, [Eternal Destruction] and [Eternal Cause and Effect] can also greatly increase his strength and methods.

[Absolute Defense] Suddenly intrigued: "If that's the case, I'm quite interested in my god form. Could it be that I'll become a fully armored general a hundred times larger than the universe? As for you, second brother, I think your god form might be a bit comical, haha."

The Paradoxical Joker said helplessly, "That's what I'm worried about. What if I turned into a Joker a hundred times larger than the universe? That would be—"

Xia Fa chuckled and said, "Big brother, second brother, you can imagine it now, but ultimately it depends on the specifics. However, it seems you two have already accepted it. What about the rest of you?"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the others present, including even Dick Tudor and the three Paul brothers.

No one had anything to say, and they all eagerly agreed.

Xia Fa smiled and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Suddenly, more than a dozen tentacles emerged from his back, burning with black flames, and pierced into everyone's backs.

Everyone immediately felt a colorless, transparent flame with extremely high energy density, and a sphere composed of chaotic current with equally high energy density, being injected into their heart and spine.

The colorless, transparent flame began to slowly spread, merging with their muscles, bones, organs, blood vessels, limbs, and bones. Moreover, it immediately activated their spiritual intuition, generating a desire to sign a new secret pact.

In fact, their spiritual intuition began to guide them directly.

"Gateway to the Stars —"

"Eternal Sentinel————"

"Primordial Stomach Pouch——"

On the other hand, the sphere of chaotic electric current color lay quietly lurking at their spine, seemingly only to move when needed.

"Alright, every other day, you will come here to receive talent modification and out-of-control suppression. After about a year of modification, your talents will be enough for you to cultivate into gods."

Xia Fa smiled and then said jokingly, "However, we'll have to see if I can beat that so-called superhuman master in two days. If I can't, then all my efforts will have been in vain."

Seeing that he looked relaxed and even had the mind to joke, the nine righteous gods felt even more relieved.

Just as everyone was about to say something, Xia Fa waved his hand and said, "Go and cultivate yourselves. I'm sure you're all eager to sign the secret contract for the new guidance of spiritual intuition. As true gods, you'll understand the new contract quickly. I won't disturb you any longer. I'm going to get back to my work."

Before anyone could answer, Xia Fa vanished in a flash.

After a while.

Deep in the universe.

At first glance, this place appears as a vast, boundless starry sky, seemingly unremarkable except for its deathly stillness.

No, the most unusual thing about this place is the deathly silence. There isn't a single planet, meteorite, or even any spaceship wreckage or the remains of any interstellar supernatural creatures.

This place is like a desert on a planet, desolate and extremely quiet.

Countless angels or rulers have passed through this place, but no one has stopped there. There are many such places in the universe because the universe is so vast that not every place has a planet.

Standing in this desolate starry sky, I felt a strange sense of fear. There was darkness everywhere, and I could not see anything no matter which way I looked, except for a galaxy that was condensed into a single point in the far distance.

Xia Fa arrived at this place, his expression quite calm, simply strolling leisurely.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he let out a "Huh" and reached out to grab at the empty starry sky.

He created a diamond-shaped spatial rift, its edges spreading like shattered glass. Xia Fa walked into it, and the spatial rift healed behind him.

The moment he stepped inside, Xia Fa's face was illuminated by a platinum-white hue, and a hint of surprise finally appeared on his face.

Because he finally saw the "origin of the universe".

Surprisingly, the origin of the universe is extremely large, almost as large as the real world. It exists anywhere in the real world, but it is not in the same space as the real world.

The origin of the universe is not a subspace; if one had to describe it, it is more like an alternate world that exists in parallel with the real world at all times. However, this world was created specifically to contain the origin of the universe.

"Because it was almost crushed by its superhuman master 30,000 years ago, it has grown to this extent in 30,000 years? That's truly astonishing."

Xia Fa used his "omniscient" authority to carefully compare the origin of the universe 30,000 years ago with the present.

The origin of the universe 30,000 years ago, which was only the size of a super-large galaxy, was almost half contaminated by the pitch-black flames that fell from the feet of the superhuman's master. In order not to be completely contaminated, it instinctively chose to explode.

Therefore, the part of the universe that exploded combined with the dark flames to form things such as secret certificates, extraordinary talents, etc.

But Xia Fa never expected that after 30,000 years, the origin of the universe would have grown to be almost the same size as the real world.

It's important to know that the real world can accommodate nearly 300 trillion galaxies, according to statistics compiled by First History.

Moreover, this only includes the space between galaxies, not the space between them.

In other words, in 30,000 years, the origin of the universe has grown at least a trillion trillion times, or even more.

However, the origin of the universe itself has no self-awareness, only instinct. Therefore, it can make actions such as celebrating the birth of a transcendent god while creating the Golden Cleanser to try to kill all transcendent beings in the universe. It's all just instinct.

And now—

"It seems that our world has enormous potential—perhaps it's already comparable to the world of our master, which can produce extraordinary beings."

It goes without saying that everyone knows the world where the master of the superhuman resides is many times larger than this world.

Therefore, it is possible for beings like the masters of extraordinary individuals to be born.

But now, Xia Fa realizes that his world might one day grow into that kind of world.

"On a cosmic scale, 30,000 years is far too short, a mere blink of an eye. But what if it were 3 trillion years—"

Xia Fa reached out directly and probed into the origin of the universe. The origin of the universe trembled slightly, but immediately accepted Xia Fa's probe without any hindrance.

The prophecy that signing ten supreme-level secret contracts would allow one to control the origin of the universe has finally been proven true.

"Hmm—it can grow for another million years or so. After a million years, the boundaries of the real world will begin to expand. This process will take about 100 million years."

"But what follows is not the prosperity of the supernatural system, but the massive generation of mutated matter throughout the universe, which may even easily negate the supernatural power of the entire world."

"By then, even the mutated power within extraordinary beings will be neutralized—"

"Wait, the reason why mutated matter cancels out supernatural power is because the origin of the universe views supernatural power as harmful and deliberately uses mutated matter to cancel it out?"

"Actually, during these three years of deficiency, the universe could have produced enough mutated substances to support the emergence of a mutated god of the upper deficiency rank. However, they were all used to offset the supernatural power. Since that's the case—"

Xia Fa had a sudden thought and snapped his fingers.

"Cancel."

The origin of the universe responded immediately. At this moment, in various places in the real world and even the Protoss Realm, whether on planets, in ghostly realms, or even in some extraordinary tombs, mutated crystal sources began to crystallize.

Moreover, it no longer cancels out the supernatural powers that are everywhere, but instead coexists harmoniously with them.

Furthermore, one animal after another, with the power of mutation surging within them, began to mutate into fleshy spheres or transform into mutated monsters.

Xia Fa briefly activated his omniscient authority and sensed all of this, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

In fact, this world is still based on the mutation system, but it doesn't really matter, since there won't be any mutations with the supernatural system in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa reached into the origin of the universe again, preparing to explore it once more.

Suddenly, however, he raised an eyebrow, his face showing extreme surprise, as if he had seen something completely unexpected.

"Hiss, that's—"
