I'm not just human!

After making a comment, Xia Fa focused his attention and looked down at the sea level.

Even though it was daytime and close to noon, he could still see a dazzling golden light shining down a thousand meters below the sea level.

It was as if the sun had fallen into the seabed, illuminating everything around it.

The light even pierced through the water's surface, forming shimmering golden rays on the sea.

Currently in a divination state, Xia Fa only needed to think for a moment to immediately eliminate the influence of the golden light on his vision and clearly see the true situation on the seabed.

It was a volcano, an active volcano, but instead of spewing lava like a typical underwater volcano, it continuously emitted strands of golden light.

It was this golden light that illuminated the seabed over a radius of thousands of kilometers.

Strangely, the seabed within a radius of several thousand kilometers was covered only with fine sand; not a single fish could be seen, and there wasn't even any seaweed.

Xia Fa understood that this was because the golden light contained extreme heat and a terrifying poison—a special kind of "magma."

If this solar volcano had continued to erupt for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it would have been possible for marine life or supernatural marine creatures to have evolved in the surrounding area.

However, the Sun Volcano only recently became active again after being dormant, which has led to the surrounding seabed becoming almost completely barren and devoid of vegetation.

After all, no marine life can withstand the high temperature and toxicity of golden magma at the same time.

These golden magma slowly spread in the sea, but strangely, they did not cancel each other out with the seawater; instead, they gradually sank into the fine sand on the seabed.

Then, the crater of the solar volcano will erupt new streams of golden lava.

Xia Fa observed quietly. As long as his mental energy wasn't exhausted, he could keep waiting for the scene of Captain Hook appearing in this divination.

Suddenly, a strange suction force emanated from the solar volcano.

Xia Fa didn't want to care, because he was in a "divination" state, which essentially meant he was only seeing things that had happened in the past, like watching a holographic movie.

Therefore, even if the solar volcano erupts with a powerful suction force, it will at most suck away the surrounding seawater and fine sand, and will not affect it in the slightest.

But then, something extremely strange happened!

Xia Fa suddenly felt that the glowing sphere formed from his spirit, which was also his mental body, was being pulled by that inexplicable suction force and was flying uncontrollably toward the crater of the Sun Volcano!

This is something I've never seen before. It's even more outrageous than when a blonde beauty with fiery red lips, a slender waist, and long legs suddenly appears in a movie and insists on sleeping with you!

After all, I'm just watching a video from the past, so why would the video affect my mind?

Without much hesitation, Xia Fa immediately imagined the feeling of falling and wanted to cut off the divination immediately.

But the next moment, he was startled and felt his body go cold.

Unable to cut!

This divination couldn't sever the connection?!

Xia Fa immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If his mental body was damaged, and given that he was only an Eagle-level transcendent being, not an angel or a ruler, he would have no way to rebuild his soul and will like angels and rulers.

Then... I will become an empty shell with only flesh and no soul!

He tried several more times, but he still couldn't stop the divination at all!

Immediately afterwards, he watched as his mental entity, transformed into a glowing sphere, was drawn by the powerful attraction and roared into the crater of the solar volcano.

He was enveloped in extreme heat, surrounded by scorching golden magma, the potent poison making him dizzy and disoriented.

But the next moment, Xia Fa was startled, and then overjoyed.

Because, in that golden lava, he saw...

Chapter 207 The secret to becoming a true god is hidden here? Xia Fa's scheme!

Golden magma rippled and rose, steaming up invisible, transparent heat, like molten gold, deadly yet alluring.

At this very moment, even though the mental body is undergoing a scorching test akin to a lava hell, suffering as if its entire skin is being scorched and burned by tongues of fire,

But the overwhelming joy that filled Xia Fa's chest surpassed everything else.

All his attention and all his energy were focused on the "thing" that was rising and falling in the golden lava.

It was an ancient scripture, made entirely of gold.

No, this ancient scripture was not made of gold.

At this moment, Xia Fa, in his mental state, was able to see the ancient scripture up close using his "spirit," even more clearly than with his eyes.

This metal, which is even more sacred, more dazzling, and more noble than gold, is covered with patterns that seem to come from ancient totems!

It was a battle between angels and demons, howling and fighting, and even when they fell, no one retreated even a step.

It was a battle between demi-humans and monsters in the abyss, neither of them backing down, only wanting to wipe out the other.

There are also totems that seem to come from ancient times, filled with a sense of vicissitude and antiquity, as well as a sense of weight and solemnity that comes from history.

"Lamenting Hymns of Gold..."

Xia Fa looked at the material of this ancient scripture and was utterly shocked.

"Lamenting Hymn Gold" is one of the most noble and sacred extraordinary metals, said to be so desirable that even the nine great gods would be tempted by it!

It is said that even a single grain the size of a grain of rice is worth millions of pounds!

If it were the size of a fist, it would be priceless; even a ruler would use it to forge a secret treasure!

And now, within this golden magma, an entire ancient scripture crafted from the gold of lamentations is rising and falling with the waves of lava.

It seems to have existed since time immemorial, spanning trillions of years.

Originally, simply encountering the Golden Lament Hymn would have been enough to delight Xia Fa.

But more important than the Golden Lamentation Hymn is this ancient scripture forged from the Golden Lamentation Hymn!

"The Golden Beacon Scroll... I never imagined that the legendary Ancient Scripture of the Sun would actually exist in this world..."

Xia Fa's excitement at this moment was beyond words.

He originally only wanted to hunt down Captain Hook, partly to rid the people of a scourge, partly to improve his understanding of the secret code, and partly to make a few million gold pounds.

But now, the appearance of this golden beacon scroll has brought Xia Fa a surprise that is just like someone who only wanted to pan for some gold dust, but suddenly discovered a gold mine that stretches for dozens of miles!

The Golden Beacon Scroll is a supreme relic crafted from a single piece of gold, known as the "Scroll of the Gods," the "Book of the Sun," and the "Secret Text of the End Times."

The Golden Beacon Scrolls are mentioned to varying degrees in the historical records of the nine major churches and in many esoteric books.

It is said that before becoming gods, the nine great gods had all personally read through the ancient scroll of the Golden Beacon!

Although the three righteous gods, [Supreme Law], [Nature Monarch], and [Absolute Defense], appeared out of nowhere in the first ten thousand years of the universe's history, their past experiences are almost impossible to trace, as if they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

However, among the nine righteous gods, the righteous god 【Brief Reality】is someone who truly grew from a human to a righteous god, step by step.

[Brief Reality] had personally obtained and perused the Golden Beacon Scroll when he first became a demigod.

Later, whether according to what was told to believers during the second ten thousand years of the universe in the "Temporary Reality," or as recorded in the "First Church" scriptures of the "First History," it seems that the nine righteous gods had personally read through the Golden Beacon Scroll before becoming righteous gods.

This also means that the Golden Beacon Scroll... most likely contains the secret to becoming a true god!

Xia Fa now understands how to become a god: it requires "two overlord-level secret contracts plus an eternal certificate," along with some additional conditions.

But how does one become an external god, and how does one become a true god?

Nobody knows, Xiafa estimates, not even Dick Tudor.

However, it is found in the Golden Beacon Scroll.

Besides the secret to becoming a true god, it is said that the Golden Beacon Scroll contains many other secrets, the kind that even the nine true gods are extremely interested in.

Moreover, the Golden Beacon Scroll itself is a sealed artifact of extremely high status, which even the nine great gods cannot completely control.

It is said that whoever obtains and reads the Golden Beacon Scroll will see it disappear automatically, turning into a streak of light and flying off into the unknown distance.

Then, hundreds or thousands of years later, it will reappear, waiting for the next destined person.

It was for this reason that the nine righteous gods each had the opportunity to see the contents recorded in the Golden Dao Beacon Scroll. At the same time, it seemed that even these nine gods could not prevent the Golden Dao Beacon Scroll from disappearing after they had finished reading it.

"The Golden Beacon Scroll... it's actually inside the Solar Volcano. Could this be the reason why the Solar Volcano has been erupting for several years?"

"Does Captain Hook know? If he does, why did he only appear near the Sun Volcano these past few days? If he doesn't know, then why did he suddenly come to the Sun Volcano recently?"

"Wait, the [Silver Universe] and [Nature Monarch] suddenly intervened, constructing a barrier for Planet Kaligi that other life-bearing planets cannot invade. Could it be that it's not just for that 'Eternal Proof,' but also for this Golden Beacon Scroll?"

Xia Fa had felt something was strange before, although an eternal token was enough to make these two righteous gods take action.

However, starting from the third ten thousand years of the universe, it was rather strange that the two true gods, who rarely responded to prayers in their earthly kingdoms, suddenly made such a big commotion.

It now appears that, apart from those who come from the two earthly kingdoms of God, or at least their believers, to protect that eternal certificate and ensure its attainment,

It is estimated that there is also the intention to protect this golden beacon scroll, also to prevent it from leaving the planet and only to allow the humans and demi-humans of Caligi to obtain it.

Because the planet Caligia is almost entirely populated by believers of the two righteous gods, the Silver Universe and the Nature Monarch.

"It is said that the appearance of the Golden Beacon Scroll will cause a great commotion..."

Xia Fa forced himself to calm down and began to devise a countermeasure.

Even if the Golden Beacon Scroll were located in the golden lava of the Sun Volcano, or even if it appeared in some extremely hidden eerie realm, it would be difficult to completely conceal the aura of its birth.

When that time comes, the world will surely be in turmoil, and almost all the extraordinary individuals who are capable of competing will rush here in order to glimpse the secret to becoming a true god.

Therefore, the real key lies not in concealing the information, but in how to compete for this Golden Beacon Scroll among so many powerful extraordinary beings...

"Wait, there's one more crucial point..."

Recalling the occult knowledge about the Golden Beacon Scroll that he had read in "The Chronicles of the Augustus Family," Xia Fa immediately activated his mental body and forcibly plunged into the golden magma.

He now understands that the reason his mental body is "attracted" when in a divination state is probably because of the Golden Beacon Scroll.

At the same time, it was because of this ancient golden beacon scroll that the surrounding golden magma was almost "real," to the point that it could have a mental and spiritual impact on him, even causing harm, while he was in a divination state.

Even so, Xia Fa endured the extreme heat and poison, desperately swimming downwards into the golden lava.

What he needed was to see the other side of the cover of this golden beacon scroll.

The pattern on the cover will determine whether he can truly obtain this ancient scripture, which all nine righteous gods have read, in the upcoming competition!

Xia Fa swam and swam, and finally, he reached the bottom of the Golden Scroll.

After calming himself down slightly, he looked up with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
