I'm not just human!

The golden lava was as thick as glue, and Xia Fagang had only been inside for a short time when he already felt suffocated by being surrounded from all sides.

Even though she was in a divination state, which was essentially just watching "images" of the past, Xia Fa still felt like her whole body was on fire, and her lungs were burning.

He persisted, using the luminous sphere formed from his own mental body to approach the other side of the cover of the Golden Beacon Scroll.

Finally, he saw clearly the patterns emerging on the gold of the Lamenting Hymn.

The most distinctive feature of the Lamenting Hymn Gold is that the patterns on the gold change continuously over time, creating an effect that is almost like cryptic texts or even ritual arrays.

This also makes it virtually impossible to counterfeit this relic-like, extraordinary metal.

Furthermore, if different treasures are crafted from it, the Lamenting Hymn Gold will manifest various corresponding ancient totems based on the characteristics of the treasures, thereby greatly enhancing the power of the treasures.

And on the Golden Beacon Scroll, the golden lamentation that emerges from the hymn... is the restriction on reading this divine scroll!

That's right. The restrictions on the Golden Beacon Scroll will be different every time it is read and reappears after being lost for hundreds or thousands of years.

Sometimes, the Golden Beacon Scrolls are only permitted to be read by humans, and only by those below the rank of demigod.

Sometimes, the Golden Beacon Scrolls can be read by both humans and demi-humans at the same time, and the scope of the restrictions on status is expanded to include gods.

According to a certain historical record, the Golden Beacon Scroll was once only allowed to be read by superhumans at the Bacterium level, and it would form a superhuman barrier to prevent superhumans above the Bacterium level from entering. Only the nine Great Gods could forcibly break through it.

However, the nine righteous gods could not possibly intervene, which led to a group of rulers and angels standing outside the barrier, watching the novice superhumans at the fungus level scramble for the Golden Beacon Scroll, their envy burning, yet they were helpless.

As for this time, the exact restrictions on the Golden Beacon Scroll will greatly determine whether or not I can obtain this ancient scripture!

With extreme trepidation and anticipation, Xia Fa finally saw the pattern on the cover clearly.

Those were two cryptic inscriptions, two cryptic inscriptions that were as clear as could be, but they were surrounded by eight star-like dots.

"Restrictions: Humans, demi-humans, humanoid supernatural beings, non-humanoid supernatural beings, the bizarre... The scope is actually this broad?"

"The unsealing time... is tomorrow?"

Xia Fa instantly deciphered the meaning of the two cryptic texts, and then checked again the number of star-like dots surrounding the two cryptic texts.

"One, two, three... seven, eight... I didn't miscount, there are definitely eight."

The moment he realized it, Xia Fa was overjoyed!

Because a star-like dot represents a rank or status.

If there were only one of these starlight dots, then this Golden Beacon Scroll could only be read by a Fungus-level transcendent being.

All beings above the level of bacteria will be blocked outside the extraordinary barrier formed by the Golden Beacon Scroll when it appears.

It's not a question of whether anyone dares to break in; it's that it's simply impossible to break in.

Unless, of course, the nine righteous gods have to intervene.

In the first and second ten thousand years of the universe, this might still be possible, for example, the geniuses in the "earthly divine kingdoms" of the nine great gods might ask the gods they worship to break this extraordinary barrier.

But now, in the third ten thousand years of the universe, when the nine great gods hardly even respond to prayers, that's completely impossible.

Moreover, even if the nine righteous gods broke through the extraordinary barrier formed by the Golden Dao Beacon Scroll, it is highly likely that extraordinary individuals who exceed the limits will not be able to read it.

As a nearly "living" seal, the Golden Beacon Scroll must have had other methods to maintain this restriction.

And now, on the other side of the Golden Beacon Scroll, the number of star-shaped dots is... eight!

Fungi, insects, eagles, wolves, elephants, whales, demigods, angels, rulers... This means that this time, only beings of angelic rank and below can peruse the Golden Beacon Scroll!

As for the rulers, they will be blocked outside the extraordinary barrier when the Golden Beacon Scroll is created!

"It's a bit high... but it's alright..."

For Xia Fa himself, the situation with only three starlight dots would definitely be most advantageous.

At that time, I, as an Eagle-level superhuman, will have the strength to directly confront an angel, and I will be dealing with a group of other opponents who are only Eagle-level in strength.

Even if some Eagle-level superhumans possess the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, they are at most equivalent to Wolf-level or Elephant-level, which is nothing special.

That's not just crushing them, it's downright shameless bullying.

Even just seven star-shaped dots would be quite nice.

Even a demigod who has signed a supreme-level secret pact may not necessarily be his match.

But for now, even though there are only eight star-shaped dots, which restricts entry to angels and those below them, it's still acceptable.

Xia Fa's assessment of his current strength is that he can roughly fight against angels, but he would have a hard time dealing with an angel-level overlord.

However, as long as we seize the opportunity today and tomorrow to significantly advance our understanding of the Gate of Stars, and also train our bodies tomorrow to see if we can improve further... in this case, even if we don't have time to sign the third Overlord-level secret contract, we will still have the strength to directly confront an Angel-level Overlord!

At that point, it will truly be a matter of each person relying on their own abilities.

Suddenly, an extremely empty and exhausted feeling surged up, almost filling the glowing sphere formed from Xia Fa's mental body.

Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

My mental energy is about to run out.

In this state, the divination will soon end on its own.

Unless, of course, the golden beacon scroll completely absorbs the luminous sphere that his mind has transformed into, or some unknown entity suddenly approaches reality and directly abducts his mind.

Otherwise, one's mind can return to the body.

This time, Xia Fa originally planned to use the divination of the solar volcano to find out Captain Hook's activity patterns.

Unexpectedly, the harvest was hundreds or thousands of times greater than that!

Therefore, he was quite satisfied and simply waited quietly for the divination to end.

A tearing pain surged through his brain, and frantic roars and demonic whispers began to appear around him. Xia Fa struggled to maintain his composure, his will as firm as a rock.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of falling came over me, and everything went dark.

Inside the cabin of the Chainsaw, Xia Fa opened his eyes.

The cabin was still swaying, and the sounds of pirates drinking and chatting on the deck could be heard from outside the door. Xia Fa let out a soft breath.

Back to the real world.

He remained lying on the bed and quickly activated two strange electric currents, covering his cerebral cortex to prevent himself from losing control due to mental exhaustion.

At the same time, Xia Fa breathed slowly, relaxed his whole body, and began to restore his mental energy, which had been depleted.

"We should be able to reach the vicinity of the Solar Volcano by tomorrow morning. As for the Golden Beacon Scroll, according to the secret text, it should be released by noon tomorrow..."

Xia Fa thought for a moment, wondering if he should simply switch to a ship capable of Protoss warp and arrive at Sun Volcano tonight.

In this way, if we can scout the location in advance, our chances of winning the Golden Beacon Scroll tomorrow will increase significantly.

But at that moment, the entire Chainsaw ship inexplicably came to a stop.

A powerful yet domineering young man's voice, accompanied by the aura of an angel, traveled from the sea and resounded throughout the entire ship.

"Brothers on this ship, may I commandeer your boat? Don't worry, as long as you don't resist, I won't kill you. I'm not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

Chapter 209 What?! You, an Eagle-level transcendent, are severely injured angels?! (Part 1)

"never mind……"

Xia Fa shook his head, then casually took out a large piece of the Mountain Dragon Bear's paw meat and swallowed it in one gulp.

Feeling his extraordinary power rapidly recovering, he opened the cabin door and walked up the dark, damp gangway to the deck.

On the deck of the Chainsaw, Captain Chainsaw Baker had already come out, carrying a half-finished bottle of tequila, though he seemed to have already finished the braised ostrich leg.

Asher was also present. It was only after Xia Fa boarded the ship that he learned that this burly young man wearing a baseball cap was the ship's first mate.

Hyacinth and Linglong also came out. These two beautiful girls from the Cloth Bag Tribe were both a little apprehensive at the moment.

The difference was that Hyacinth could barely maintain her composure, though her tall, delicate body trembled slightly, while Linglong's face turned deathly pale with fright, and she didn't even dare to look at the sky in front of her.

A huge, humanoid black shadow descended from the sky, almost covering half of the ship.

He was a burly young man with an unruly spiky hairstyle, a domineering air about him that disdains everything, and a sinister smile that played on his lips, making him appear dangerous yet full of masculine charm.

He wore a sleeveless suede jacket, casually open, revealing his bulging chest muscles. His face and body were covered in strange black tattoos, and his arm muscles were as hard as rocks, incredibly strong.

But what truly attracts attention are its two extremely exaggerated mechanical arms.

Those were two incredibly complex mechanical arms, each three meters long, crammed with gears and parts. Among the gears and parts, one could vaguely see extremely dangerous and highly technologically advanced weapons such as the Magic Mechanical Cannon, the High-Temperature Cutting Blade, and the Air Shattering Saw.

All the gears were made of extremely expensive shadow gold, and deep within the gears, one could vaguely see rusted iron specially used for energy gathering.

Rusty iron is an extraordinary metal with a value similar to shadow gold, but unlike shadow gold, it is not naturally formed and must be crafted by humans, a process that is extremely lengthy.

It is said that this is obtained by soaking refined steel in a liquid of molten supernatural elements and sealing it for a hundred years.

Once formed, the magical mechanical parts used to create them will naturally have a powerful ability to absorb extraordinary power from the surrounding environment. If activated by angels, they can even create a vacuum.

“Alexander…”

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly, and a heart in his chest began to beat softly, making a "thump-thump" sound in his ears.

This is certainly not fear, but rather the excitement before battle, the excitement of facing a powerful opponent.

Alexander, whom Avalon mentioned, is a magical mechanical genius in the Earthly Kingdom of the [Silver Universe] who can overpower Him!

Alexander not only signed the "Forge of All Things," a top-tier secret agreement, but he is also the young master of the Myriad Machines School.

The Myriad Machines School is one of the most well-known supernatural organizations on Caligia, occupying two of the twenty-two continents on the planet. It can be described as a super-large nation or a colossal force.

As the young master of the Myriad Machines School, one can only imagine how terrifying Alexander's background and resources were.

“Avalon said that Alexander did not follow the path of ‘mechanical creation,’ but rather ‘mechanical modification,’ aiming to transform his body to surpass the most powerful mobile armor in the world…”

Xiafa quickly recalled the information about Alexander. Without a doubt, he was also an angelic overlord, and unlike Prince Justinian and Avalon, he was extremely power-hungry and believed in the survival of the fittest.

This is evident from the fact that He preferred to modify Himself with the "Forge of All Things," a supreme-level secret code, rather than creating a mobile armor ten thousand meters long like Avalon.

"Hey, what are you all standing there for? Do you really want to die?"

Seeing that everyone on deck was too frightened to move, Alexander grinned maliciously and continued:

"But don't worry, I'll say it again, I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately, as long as you agree to lend me this ship for a few days."

Captain Chainsaw Baker stepped forward. Already short and stout, he appeared even smaller now, his body hunched over, his face filled with a humble and ingratiating smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Alexander de Tich, the young master of the Myriad Machines School, aren't you?"

Alexander raised an eyebrow:
