I'm not just human!

A hypothesis began to emerge in Xia Fa's mind.

Could it be that the ruler who signed one hegemon-level secret contract is called the Extraordinary Monarch, and the ruler who signed two hegemon-level secret contracts is called the Mysterious Emperor?

And this is the same person the fat boss was talking about, the only one on Planet Calig in over 30,000 years to have signed two overlord-level secret contracts?

Xia Fa had thought that the being was very, very ancient, but he never expected that it would appear more than three hundred years ago!

And now, this Mysterious Emperor, the only Mysterious Emperor on the entire planet Calig, is about to emerge from seclusion?

Immediately afterward, Marshal Gaius spoke up and revealed an even more important piece of news that surprised Xia Fa!

Chapter 168 The Signer of the Silver Throne, a Core Member of the Augustus Family, and Six Hundred Years of History.

The lamps on the golden candlesticks, like glowing spheres, illuminated the entire banquet hall.

The banquet hall was completely silent. Everyone was extremely focused, their attention entirely on Marshal Gaius, not wanting to miss a single word.

Marshal Gaius took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his voice. Despite being one of the two strongest beings in the Augu Kingdom, he was now as cautious as a mortal being haunted by something strange.

"My definite information is that there is only one reason why this mysterious emperor emerged from the terrestrial divine kingdom of the [Silver Universe]..."

He lowered himself, his voice barely audible, yet every word reached the ears of everyone present, including Xia Fa.

"...He received revelation from the true god [Silver Universe], and is searching for something, something of unparalleled importance to Him, the Mysterious Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Augustus family—from the angels to the demigods and the younger generation—was shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief, followed by extreme confusion.

On the planet Caligia, something appeared that even a being like a Mysterious Emperor desperately wanted to obtain. This information was of utmost importance.

But the key question is, what exactly is that mysterious emperor looking for?

Seeing everyone looking over in confusion, Marshal Gaius leaned back in his golden chair and spread his hands.

“Don’t look at me. I don’t know what He is looking for, or rather, I’m not qualified to know.”

This marshal, who was always as serious as a soldier, revealed his approachable side at this moment.

Of course, while He was approachable, no one dared to show the slightest displeasure, or even ask any further questions.

No one noticed Xia Fa. Xia Fa's expression seemed similar to that of the people around him, but at this moment, his heart was filled with shock as if the earth were shaking.

Marshal Gaius didn't know, nor did the Augustus family, but Shafa knew exactly what that mysterious emperor was looking for!

"Eternal proof! Absolutely eternal proof!"

Xia Fa seemed to hear a voice roaring and howling in his heart, even with an extreme urgency.

He didn't know if Marshal Gaius had joined the "Fate Carnival," but it was highly likely he had.

So either Marshal Gaius deliberately didn't tell his family about the "Eternal Certificate," to prevent them from learning about the concept, or even just hearing the term, from causing unpredictable dangers and horrors.

Or perhaps Marshal Gaius truly didn't know.

Xia Fa felt that the former was more likely.

However, Marshal Gaius obviously did not expect that he, who appeared to be a mere insect-level superhuman, would also know about the existence of the "Eternal Proof"!

Xia Fa's mind raced, and clues emerged from his thoughts like fish leaping out of the water.

"Two supreme-level secret contracts, plus an eternal token, are enough to allow the ruler to completely transcend and become a god..."

"The ruler who has signed two overlord-level secret contracts is called the Emperor of Secrets..."

These clues only flashed through Xia Fa's mind for a moment before he had already pieced together the general outline.

This mysterious emperor, the only being on Planet Caligia in over 30,000 years to have signed two overlord-level secret contracts, suddenly emerged from the Earthly God Kingdom of the [Silver Universe], undoubtedly in search of the proof of eternity!

"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that there's a certificate of eternity on Caligi?!"

Upon reaching this point in the reasoning, Xia Fa felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes widened suddenly!

Fortunately, everyone's attention was completely focused on Marshal Gaius at the moment, and many people were shocked by the information he had revealed, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.

"On the planet Caligi, there are actually certificates of eternity..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself, his gaze turning deep again.

He himself has signed two hegemonic-level secret contracts, and will even be able to sign a third hegemonic-level secret contract soon...

He clenched his fist slightly under the table, gritted his teeth, and a hard line appeared on the side of his face.

This eternal certificate, if given the chance, I... must get my hands on it!

Although I will be facing a mysterious emperor, it doesn't necessarily mean I have to compete.

With the "Gate of Stars," a supreme-level secret agreement with extremely strong escape and survival capabilities, and after signing the "Mysterious Singularity," it seems that stealing a chicken might not be out of the question...

Moreover, the proof of eternity may not appear now; it will likely take some time before it fully manifests.

The reason that mysterious emperor came out of the earthly divine kingdom was probably to make preparations in advance.

In this case, it means you have plenty of time!

Not only is it a mysterious singularity, but it may even be possible to take advantage of this time to sign the fourth overlord-level secret contract!

By then, even facing a mysterious emperor, it's not necessarily impossible to fight him.

Even the Emperor of Mystery only signed two overlord-level secret contracts, while I will have four, plus the added boost of the burning sensation in my heart meridian!

Xia Fa felt increasingly excited as he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to finish understanding the Gate of Stars, quickly sign the Mysterious Singularity, and become stronger as fast as possible.

Attending the Augustus family's banquet was definitely the right decision; I never expected to receive such a wonderful surprise and obtain such important intelligence.

As for what his fourth overlord-level secret contract is...

To be honest, if she could choose, Xia Fa would prefer "Fairy Tale World" and "Eternal Conditions," as both of these top-tier contracts seem incredibly powerful.

"The reason I'm telling you this is to specifically remind you of something."

Marshal Gaius suddenly spoke, pulling Shafa back to reality.

Everyone pricked up their ears. Clearly, the patriarch was not the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense. His military-like demeanor made him not want to hear even a single word of nonsense.

So all that He said before was for the real, crucial words that followed!

"What that mysterious emperor is searching for will... appear on the Balen Ocean!"

"In other words, the only being on our planet Caligi who has signed two hegemonic-level secret agreements... will be active in the Baron Ocean for a long time to come, and the maritime landscape is about to be reshuffled!"

"It's uncertain how many of the five pirate emperors will survive. It's also possible that they will put aside their prejudices and accumulated grudges and choose to unite against that mysterious emperor, but the chances of winning are slim."

At this point, Marshal Gaius showed a hint of pleasure.

Clearly, as the ruler of the three armies of the Augu Kingdom, He had very strong opinions about some of the five pirate emperors, but was unable to eliminate them.

Now, the only Mysterious Emperor of Caligia is about to forcefully intervene in the power dynamics of the Baron Ocean, and He naturally hopes that some pirate emperors will fall.

On the long, oval marble table, everyone from the elders who were of angelic rank to the juniors who were only of wolf-like status was deeply lost in thought and awe.

Marshal Gaius spoke so casually because he had a profound understanding of that level and that person.

But to everyone's ears, it was like a tidal wave crashing in their hearts.

Five pirate emperors, five pirate emperors who were either infamous, deeply rooted, or incredibly powerful, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the mysterious emperor who had signed two overlord-level secret contracts.

They're both clearly rulers!

The difference is just too big!

Moreover, everyone had vaguely heard that among those five pirate emperors, there was also an extraordinary monarch who had signed a hegemon-level secret contract!

The difference between one Overlord-level Secret Contract and two Overlord-level Secret Contracts... is actually this huge? It's practically an insurmountable chasm!

In an instant, many members of the Augustus family realized that their assessment of just how powerful the extraordinary individual who had signed two overlord-level secret contracts was... seemed to be far too low.

It's important to understand that the reason why the Kingdom of Augu, the Empire of Wave Moon, and the Cloth Bag Dynasty... allowed five pirate emperors, especially the three most cruel and bloodthirsty among them, to ravage the Baron Ocean with impunity was because...

That's because these pirate emperors sometimes didn't fight alone; they would choose to join forces!

Now, a problem that at least six rulers from three kingdoms couldn't solve for hundreds or thousands of years can be solved by just one Mysterious Emperor, one Mysterious Emperor who has signed two overlord-level secret contracts...

"So, whether it's yourselves or your subordinates, you should restrain yourselves for a while and not go to the Baron Ocean. Even if you only catch a glimpse of a battle between Sovereigns, there is a possibility of things getting out of control, let alone the actions of the Mysterious Emperor."

After Marshal Gaius finished speaking, he casually tapped the table twice, then lay down on the golden chair:

"Alright, it's time for you to freely exchange information."

Next, starting with the three elders of the angelic rank, the members of the Augustus family took turns sharing their most important observations and news from this period.

"You all probably know what happened this afternoon. The Crimson Agents appeared in the waters outside our Rum City and wiped out Greenbeard's entire ship."

The angel named Chalcos spoke. Previously, when He faced Marshal Gaius, His voice trembled, but now His breathing was steady and His voice was loud.

Cardan nodded:

"Yes, but do you understand His purpose?"

Charcus slowly shook his head:

"It's unclear, but according to many eyewitnesses, just before the Roaring Emperor arrived, and just before the Crimson Agent left, Bluebeard's ship... exploded with starlight, even dimming the sky for a moment."

Gaius, who had only intended to let the family members interact, suddenly reached out and tapped the table twice, the two "thump-thump" sounds echoing in the banquet hall.

The oval marble table fell silent as everyone looked at Him with respect.

This is one of the rules of the Augustus family's monthly dinner party: when the head of the family has something to add, he will tap the table twice.

Given Marshal Gaius's dominant position, each of His supplementary words was extremely important, containing information or intelligence that other family members could not access at all.

Therefore, everyone waits with utmost respect.

Only Xia Fa's eyes flickered.

Only now did he finally learn the name, or rather, the title, of the extraordinary monarch wearing the mask with fangs and a demonic face.

"Crimson Agent..."

Just then, Marshal Gaius spoke up:

"You don't need to guess anymore. I've already confirmed it. It was caused by an anomaly triggered by a being who signed the 'Gate of Stars,' a supreme-level secret pact."

hiss--!

All the members of the Augustus family gasped, their eyes widening involuntarily, their faces filled with horror.

The major news is coming one after another, more than all the major events of the past few years combined!
