I'm not just human!

"What is... a certificate of eternity?"

Dick Tudor was drinking champagne with its golden liquid in his glass, smoothing out the mashed potatoes he had just eaten.

Upon hearing this, His cheeks immediately puffed up, and he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.

He forced himself to hold it in, swallowed hard, and before he could catch his breath, said:

"Where...where did you hear about this concept?"

Now it was Xia Fa's turn to smile mysteriously:

"As you know, as a signatory to the Silver Throne, I often come into contact with all sorts of mysterious figures."

He felt something was wrong as soon as he said that.

I feel like I've said that somewhere before...

Dick Tudor sighed:

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you this, but... I really don't know how to explain it to you."

Xia Fa asked curiously:

"How to say?"

Dick Tudor replied almost without hesitation:

"The proof of eternity can be a pen, a piece of paper, a house, a bowl of water, a glass of wine, or even an island, a breath of air, a word, or a rumor... In short, it can be anything in the world, or it can be nothing at all."

Xia Fa became even more curious upon hearing this:

"Then why do some people say that two supreme-level secret contracts, an eternal certificate, and some other conditions can allow a ruler to transcend and become a god?"

Dick Tudor was truly shocked; his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had heard something utterly unbelievable.

This incredibly powerful transcendent monarch had never before shown such a loss of composure. The last time he had been so out of control was when he heard that Xia Faneng could sign a second overlord-level secret pact.

"You even know this? You...who exactly have you been in contact with?"

Before Xiafa could answer, He sighed softly:

"That statement is indeed true. In a sense, if we could categorize the forbidden knowledge in this world, this knowledge would be in the second tier—don't think it's too low. The first tier is all forbidden knowledge involving the nine Great Gods and the Great Old Ones they destroyed."

Dick Tudor put down his knife and fork, seemingly preoccupied by Xia Fa's question. He picked up the champagne beside him, gulped down a large mouthful, wiped his mouth, and then said:

"What exactly is the proof of eternity? Different people have different feelings about it. If I had to say it, there's only one sentence: when you come into contact with it, you will understand it."

When you come into contact with it, you will understand it...

Xia Fa murmured to himself, repeated the sentence, and nodded secretly.

Regardless, he still obtained crucial intelligence from Dick Tudor this time.

First, the "eternal certificate" is not just a specific object, but can exist in any form.

To be honest, when Xia Fa first heard that the proof of eternity might be just a wisp of air, he found it a bit abstract.

Hearing that the proof of eternity could be a landscape, or even just a sentence or a rumor, he gained a deeper understanding of just how miraculous the proof of eternity truly was.

Secondly, of course, is what Dick Tudor just said.

When you come into contact with it, you will understand it.

The meaning of this statement is probably very profound.

According to Dictator, only when one truly comes into contact with the Eternal Certificate can one truly understand why, together with two Overlord-level secret contracts, it can allow the Sovereign to transcend and become a god...

"Oh, right, if I had to mention it, there's another taboo related to it."

Dicket seemed to suddenly remember something and added:

"I actually saw this in the diary of the true god [First History]. As for how I obtained His diary, I'll tell you about that later—"

"In short, for different beings, whether human, demi-human, or anomaly, physical entity, or even a spirit in the Protoss realm,"

"Any being that signs a supreme-level secret pact, if it can sign one—in addition to certain of its own characteristics, determines what kind of eternal credentials it can integrate."

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback:

"What did you say? Ghosts and spirits can form secret contracts, and they can even form overlord-level secret contracts?"

He had previously guessed that entities could also sign secret contracts; otherwise, the young miner without facial features wouldn't have asked him to find the entity "Storytaker," and even said that the Storytaker had also signed the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

As for whether the mysterious entity could sign a secret agreement, Xia Fa had made some speculations, but sincerely hoped that it was best not to.

But he never expected that not only could the Strange sign the contract, but even the spirits in the Star Spirit Realm could sign it.

If even a star spirit, as vast as a planet and of extremely high status, were to sign a supreme-level secret pact...

Xia Fa suddenly realized that among the ten overlord-level secret contracts, the "Star Spirit Master" secret contract, which allows extraordinary beings to capture star spirits, must also possess a power that cannot be ignored.

It has to be said that this secret contract truly lives up to its name as it comes from the origin of the universe. I'm guessing that any living being in the universe, except for humanoid supernatural beings, could probably sign it.

Thinking about it this way, the value of a hegemon-level secret agreement seems even higher...

Dick was somewhat surprised:

"You don't even know this? Oh... no, this is indeed knowledge that only those at the demigod level or above can know."

He changed the subject and said:

"Since you know about the Eternal Certificate, and that two Overlord-level Secret Contracts plus an Eternal Certificate, along with other conditions, can allow a Ruler to transcend into a Divine Being, then... you should be able to guess that the Mysterious Emperor who recently emerged from seclusion on Planet Calig is also after the Eternal Certificate, right?"

Xia Fa nodded:

"I know that, but what you mean by bringing this up is..."

Dick Tudor leaned back in his chair and smiled calmly.

"As I said before, what kind of eternal certificate you or that mysterious emperor can fuse with depends on two things: first, yourselves, and second, the hegemonic secret contract you have signed. However, the hegemonic secret contract that your spiritual intuition guides you to is based on certain characteristics of yourselves."

Before He finished speaking, Shaphat had already guessed what was going on:

"You're not going to tell me that the [Eternal Token] that appeared in the Baron Ocean this time can be absorbed by both me and that Mystic Emperor, are you?"

Dick snapped his fingers:

"That's right, very smart."

Seeing that Xia Fa's expression had become serious, Dick Tudor stopped joking and sat up straight again, placing his arms on the table and leaning slightly forward—for some reason, this posture gave Xia Fa a strong sense of pressure.

"You signed the Silver Throne and the Gate of Stars, while that Mystic Emperor signed the Primordial Stomach and the Forge of All Things. It seems that the overlord-level secret contracts you signed are completely different, but based on past experience, you should both be able to absorb that [Eternal Certificate]."

The Primordial Stomach and the Forge of All Things...

Xia Fa secretly memorized this crucial information. If Dick Tui hadn't been a man, he would have loved to hug and kiss him.

There was no other way; this intelligence was just too important!

Knowing in advance what kind of overlord-level secret agreement this mysterious emperor signed will allow me to better deal with and plan for the future!

Although I can barely fight angels now, once I sign the "Mystic Singularity" contract, a top-tier pact, I should be able to go toe-to-toe with the Overlord at the Wolf level.

In that situation, if the Emperor of Mystery was unprepared, he would still have a slight chance of snatching the [Eternal Proof].

This is his advantage. When that time really comes, the Emperor of Mystery will surely overlook a wolf-level superhuman like him.

Just like how the Crimson Agent overlooked him, who was only at the Eagle level, when he was on the ship yesterday at noon.

Neither of them could have imagined that he could transcend so many ranks and levels to unleash unimaginable strength.

"This time, no one from other inhabited planets will interfere, because with the tacit approval of the Silver Universe, the Nature Monarch has taken action and sealed off our planet, Kaligi."

Dick Tudor tapped the table twice with his index finger and continued:

“That’s right. Until the ‘Eternal Certificate’ is obtained by the Mysterious Emperor or some other lurking being, even I can’t leave this planet.”

Xia Fa, however, showed a thoughtful expression:

"Even so, people from the other twenty-one continents will still come to the Baron Ocean, right?"

Dick Tudor smiled and said:

"The old guys probably wouldn't dare to come, because whether it's a ruler or a transcendent monarch, anyone who dares to appear in the Baron Ocean at this time will become a thorn in the side of this mysterious emperor. As for the young people, especially the young overlords, it's unclear whether they will come to join in the fun."

He suddenly forked a large piece of roasted pork knuckle skin, put it in his mouth, savored it, then downed the bottle of champagne in one gulp and stood up:

"Alright, you don't need to think about anything else. My personal suggestion is that you shouldn't even go to sea this time. Even though you've signed two overlord-level secret contracts, which means you can deal with beings of the angelic rank, the gap between you and that Mystic Emperor is still far too great. But if you insist on going..."

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Dick's face:

"When that [eternal proof] appears beside you, you can sense it in a very special way that will definitely leave a deep impression on you. If I had to describe it, it would be like meeting the love of your life."

He leaned down to look at Xiafa, placing his hands on the table:

"When that time comes, if no one around you notices, then take the certificate of eternity and run away. Come to me, and I can protect you."

Xia Fa smiled:

"Thank you in advance."

Dick raised an eyebrow:

"So, you still want to go to sea?"

Xia Fa didn't hide anything from Him and nodded solemnly:

"Yes, I want to go and gain some experience."

Dick Tudor smiled and shook his head:

"Since that's the case, I doubt I can persuade you otherwise. After all, this is a grand gathering for the young overlords of the entire planet Caligia. However, they are merely future transcendent monarchs, while you are the future Mystic Emperor. Alright—"

He flipped his palm over, as if grasping something, and his expression suddenly became serious:

"Let's get back to the diary of the righteous god [First History]. To be honest, I joined an organization, a very mysterious organization that spans the entire universe. The leader of this organization gives me the feeling that he is even comparable to the nine righteous gods. I—"

Unexpectedly, Xia Fa also stood up at this moment, pressing his left hand to his right chest.

This iconic move made Dick Tudor's eyelids twitch.

The next moment, a sentence came from Xia Fa's mouth.

"For the New World!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he released his left palm, revealing a shadow gold badge on his right chest, featuring a half-decayed World Tree relief.

"For a new world."
