I'm not just human!

At first, the "Sage" seemed almost as powerful as a true god to him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pull all the members of the universe into a dream to hold a meeting in the blink of an eye.

But could it be that the Wise One lacked the supreme-level secret code of Miracle Fantasy, or perhaps lacked both the Mystic Singularity and Miracle Fantasy, which is why he failed to truly become a true god?

Moreover, that is why He mobilized all members of the universe to search everywhere.

"Could it be that an being like the [Sage] can directly extract those two overlord-level secret contracts from the bodies of extraordinary individuals who have signed the [Mysterious Singularity] or the [Miracle Fantasy]?"

Thinking of this, Xia Fa suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and shivered violently.

He even had the urge to immediately throw away the half-decayed World Tree Shadow Gold Badge that represented the "Destiny Carnival" members from his bag.

But then he thought about it again and calmed down a bit.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Rather than fleeing this clandestine organization, it's better to remain hidden and observe whether you're being watched.

On the other hand, as long as he doesn't encounter the "Sage," a being so powerful that he is only slightly inferior to the Nine Great Gods, in the real world, Xia Fa is not afraid of being perceived by Him.

After all, meetings take place in dreams, in a mental state, which naturally isolates most of our senses.

Moreover, if I were to suddenly escape this secret organization, I might actually be targeted by the "Wise One"...

At least for now, in the eyes of the "wise one," I am just an insignificant little minion, so it's best not to rashly run away and attract His attention.

Xia Fa calmed himself down and made up his mind, no longer dwelling on it.

Immediately, he raised his head slightly and looked at the magnificent, thousand-meter-long golden ancient scroll of road signs not far ahead.

After a brief sensory examination, it became clear that his mental body, astral body, and spiritual intuition were all in a state of extreme disorder due to the newly signed overlord-level secret contract.

It seems that it is accepting and understanding the vast amount of information and complex intelligence regarding the overlord-level secret pact of the [Mystic Singularity].

In other words, it will be quite a while before I can get a glimpse of the extremely mysterious secret ability of the [Mysterious Singularity].

Therefore, Xia Fa decided to take advantage of this time to first look at the Golden Beacon Scroll!

Involuntarily, he glanced again at the ancient, weathered, and extremely obscure script written on the open golden pages, which seemed to come from an extremely distant era.

To become a true god, one must sign a contract for miracles.

Xia Fa sighed inwardly. This ancient scroll of the Golden Dao Beacon was indeed a supreme sealed artifact that had been read by all nine righteous gods. The very first page contained such an explosive secret.

What happens next?

A surge of anticipation welled up within him, and he took a few steps forward, arriving before the ancient scroll of the Golden Beacon.

As you get closer, you can see the enormous golden pages, shimmering with golden light, with holy feathers falling, and star-like images disappearing and regenerating... An ancient aura washes over you, yet it is so grand and solemn.

Xia Fa felt a strange sense of pilgrimage, as well as the thrill of peeking into some of the ultimate secrets of this world.

His heart pounded. Xia Fa reached out and moved the huge page on the right side of the Golden Beacon Scroll, preparing to turn to the next page.

But at that moment, something completely unexpected happened!

The moment his hands touched the golden pages of the lamenting hymn, his skin began to peel off piece by piece, and even his clothes seemed about to burst into flames.

Xia Fa was slightly startled. Before he could react, he saw his peeling skin and burning clothes suddenly rise from his body and condense in the air... into a silver necklace with a small axe pendant!

It was that legendary treasure, with a face sculpted by a knife and axe.

Although there is no mirror now and he can't see his own appearance, Xia Fa firmly believes that his handsome and dashing true face has probably already been exposed.

His height also increased from a mere 1.8 meters to a towering 1.9 meters.

"So... to access the Golden Beacon Scroll, one has to remove the disguise?"

Xia Fa felt a little amused and exasperated, but he was too lazy to pretend anymore.

He had previously disguised himself as "Caesar" because he was too weak and feared being targeted by the Crimson Agents.

But now that I've signed three overlord-level secret contracts and become a wolf-level superhuman, what's there to be afraid of?

Since I'm not afraid, I'm too lazy to pretend anymore.

As for being targeted by the "Sage," the probability is extremely small. On the surface, he is just a wolf-level superhuman, but in the eyes of the "Sage," who is almost a god, he is no different from an ant.

He probably forgot about me a long time ago, so how could he possibly be targeting me?

However, when using the Secret Affinity ability of [Mystic Singularity] in the future, one must be extremely cautious, especially to prevent others from seeing it.

Besides the "Sage," Xia Fa suspected that there were probably many other unknown entities in this world eyeing the two overlord-level secret contracts, "Mysterious Singularity" and "Miracle Fantasy," and their respective signatories.

Fortunately, I've also signed contracts for [Silver Throne] and [Gate of Stars], which will be more than enough for my daily needs, given the ongoing development.

As Xia Fa let out a soft breath, shedding his disguise and returning to his original identity and handsome appearance, he suddenly felt a strange sense of relief.

With a forceful pull of his arms, he turned the pages of the ancient scroll of the golden road sign, which was a thousand meters high.

The sound was like metal being twisted and bent, yet it was strangely pleasant, as if a grand symphony was being played in this golden palace.

Finally, Xia Fa turned to the second page.

Then, he paused slightly, looking incredulously at the contents of the second page of the Golden Beacon Scroll.

What you see are densely packed secret texts, which cover almost both sides of the Golden Road Sign Scroll from top to bottom.

However, after just one glance, Xia Fa felt his body and mind tremble, a mixture of excitement and complex emotions, like surging waves on the sea.

It felt like glimpsing yet another ultimate mystery, and this time it was extremely detailed and comprehensive!

In particular, it is extremely useful to myself!

It was clearly written on it:

There are three ways to transcend the human form and attain a divine personhood.

[Firstly: Simultaneously sign two supreme-level secret contracts, as well as twenty-eight ordinary or advanced secret contracts, and absorb and accommodate a kind of "eternal certificate"]

[Secondly: Simultaneously signing five hegemonic secret agreements and absorbing and incorporating a kind of "eternal certificate"]

Thirdly: If a being is born with "eternal proof" and develops self-awareness, it can use either of the two methods mentioned above, or it can directly attempt to seize a complete corpse from a god.

"This……"

After carefully and thoroughly reading it through, Xia Fa was still somewhat shocked and hadn't quite come to her senses.

What he didn't expect was that...

Initially, the portly shopkeeper of the secret trading shop told him that two overlord-level secret contracts, plus an eternal certificate, and some "additional conditions," would allow him to rise from the Mysterious Emperor to become a god.

These "additional conditions" are incredibly difficult!

Under normal circumstances, a Mysterious Emperor who has absorbed and contained the Eternal Certificate... needs to sign a full twenty-one ordinary or advanced secret contracts in order to become a god!

But on the other hand, it seems that this can also explain why God has entered the ranks of "deities" and can be called "god," accepting the faith and worship of all living beings.

Thirty secret contracts, including two overlord-level secret contracts, plus an eternal token—how could this not be powerful?

Fortunately, Xia Fa sighed, he didn't have to walk this extremely difficult and complicated path to godhood.

Because he could have taken the second path!

That is, five supreme-level secret contracts, plus an eternal certificate!

I have already signed three overlord-level secret contracts, and I only need to sign two more!

Moreover, the difficulty lies not in finding the fifth Overlord-level Secret Contract, but in finding the [Miracle Fantasy] one.

Because Xia Fa understood that once he could sign the "Miracle Fantasy" contract,

The next hegemonic-level secret pact will likely be one of the five known hegemonic-level secret pacts that I haven't yet signed.

That is, [Fairy Tale World], [Forge of All Things], [Primordial Stomach], [Eternal Conditions], [Star Spirit Mage]

These are all top-tier secret contracts that Xia Fa desperately wants... especially [Eternal Conditions] and [Primal Stomach].

Comparatively speaking, these five overlord-level secret contracts are naturally easier to collect.

I can easily collect one of each type, and once I've signed the "Miracle Fantasy" book, I can quickly understand it and then immediately sign the fifth one!

If by then you have already obtained the "Eternal Certificate", you can immediately become a god!

Fungi, insects, eagles, wolves, elephants, whales...

Demigods, angels, masters...

From God, Outer God, True God...

If I could actually skip the three ranks of demigod, angel, and ruler and become a god directly from the whale level... it would be quite exciting to think about.

As for becoming the third way from God, Xiafa did not consider it.

The beings born after the "Eternal Proof" develop self-awareness... it sounds incredibly lofty and sophisticated, completely beyond my current reach, let alone understanding.

It is likely that only extraordinary rulers like Dictator and Patriarch Osius would know even a fraction of this.

After calming himself down and composing his agitated emotions, Xia Fa tried to flip through the Golden Beacon Scroll again.

With a strange, metallic sound like metal twisting and bending, he turned to the third page.

The third page was also densely covered with cryptic text.

But Xia Fa's mind was shaken again after just one glance!

[Regardless of the method used, once one achieves godhood, the restriction that only the first nine secret contracts can be signed to form a hegemon-level secret contract can be broken.]

[Through this, we attempt to ascend the ladder to godhood.]

There are two ways to become an outer god from a god.

[Firstly: Upon becoming a god, one must sign two more overlord-level secret contracts, absorb and contain an eternal certificate, and sign twenty-eight more ordinary or advanced secret contracts.]

[Secondly: Upon becoming a god, one signs three supreme-level secret covenants and absorbs and incorporates a certificate of eternity.]

"In other words, even powerful beings that develop self-awareness from eternal credentials, after becoming Outer Gods, must obediently follow the path of signing secret contracts and absorbing and accommodating other eternal credentials?"

For some reason, seeing this made Xia Fa suddenly feel a strange sense of balance.

After all, I am just a human being, not one of those beings born at the pinnacle of the extraordinary world, transformed from an "eternal proof".

However, it seems there's still room for debate as to whether I am truly human.

"Looking at it this way, at least for me, becoming an Outer God... doesn't seem that difficult."

Xia Fa certainly couldn't choose the first path; he would have to sign thirty more secret agreements, which was obviously difficult and lengthy.

Moreover, for other subordinate gods who aspire to become Outer Gods, spiritual intuition may not necessarily continue to guide them toward the Overlord-level secret covenant.
