I'm not just human!

Under the giant, silvery-white metal hand of [Absolute Defense], all of [Rhine Calamity]'s trump cards, which were clearly enough to destroy most of the universe, looked so ridiculous and powerless.

All I can say is that [Absolute Defense] is just too strong, so strong that it's not even in the same dimension as other true gods, and it can even crush an Old One so easily!

So, the Paradox Joker, who can fight to a draw with Absolute Defense, must be just as strong...

Thinking of this, Xia Fa couldn't help but feel sorry for the Old Ones who had been wiped out more than 30,000 years ago. How could they possibly fight against such powerful [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker]?

There's absolutely no chance of winning!

Fortunately, he was on the side of humans and demi-humans, which meant he was on the side of the nine great gods... Xia Fa could only think thankfully.

But then he realized another very serious problem.

The [Absolute Defense] and the [Paradox Joker], which are so powerful, both stay in their respective earthly divine kingdoms and don't come out... Why is that?

What are they hiding from, or what are they afraid of?

If there really is such a being, forcing even these two strongest righteous gods to hide in their earthly divine kingdoms... Xia Fa felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Fortunately, the universe is still peaceful and prosperous, so there seems to be no need to worry too much.

"If Levimir is truly a drop of blood or a thought of the [Absolute Defense], then according to Him, as long as I become strong, one day He will lead me to see the 'truth of the world'..."

After pondering for a while, Xia Ding, though hopeful, saw no clues and decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

At the same time, the scene of [Rhine Calamity] being killed inexplicably reappeared in his mind.

Without a doubt, as an Old One, [Rhine Calamity] possesses an extremely tenacious vitality. Even when shattered into pieces, it can still use its low-dimensional abilities to attempt to escape.

But it was no use. [Absolute Defense] directly seized His soul and will, and also seized three things wrapped in strange light.

Xia Fa strongly suspected that those three items were three different kinds of "certificates of eternity".

"So, the Great Old Ones, like the true gods, absorbed and contained the three [certificates of eternity]?"

"Could the ability of [Rhine Calamity] to reduce the dimensions of surrounding objects, its anti-realistic capabilities, and its ability to fold space originate from those three [Eternal Tokens]?"

Xia Fa even suspected that one of the [Eternal Proofs] might have been given by [Absolute Defense] to [Temporary Reality], which should not have become a true god at the time, thus allowing [Temporary Reality] to also become a true god.

Then, the divine combat technique of "anti-reality" was developed.

"Oh right, the other horse-slaying sword..."

Just now, in addition to obtaining these top-secret ancient images, Xia Fa also naturally obtained a lot of information and intelligence.

One of them answered the biggest question about his own horse-slaying sword.

These two swords, one named "Rhine" and the other "Calamity," are... ancient treasures personally crafted by the Great Old One, [Rhine Calamity]!

The ancient treasures are supreme divine objects, almost on par with the orthodox treasures!

Don't be fooled by the fact that [Rhine Calamity] is powerless against [Absolute Defense] when wielding these two swords. That is the strongest [Absolute Defense] among the nine Great Gods, capable of single-handedly countering the [Absolute Defense] of five Great Old Ones!

If [Nature Monarch] and [Supreme Law] were to come, Xia Fa suspected that [Rhine Calamity] could actually wield these two swords and fight two against one, and even win a great victory.

"This weapon in my hand is 'Calamity,' and it must be found in 'Rhine' to become a complete ancient treasure..."

"Before this, a single item was only slightly stronger than an outer magic treasure, and many of its abilities were sealed, requiring both to be used together..."

"To unleash the full power of a single weapon, one needs to be of a high enough rank. However, using two together seems to allow one to activate them directly without even reaching the rank of a god, much like Patriarch Osius and the Mystic Emperor Dionysius..."

As Xia Fa thought of this, his gaze hardened.

Now that I have this horse-slaying sword in my hands, I must find a second one no matter what!

As for how to find it...

He looked at the treasure map in his hand and saw that all five treasure chests on the map were open, each containing an identical hourglass.

Fine sand is slowly flowing down inside the hourglass.

Xia Fa simply compared the speed at which the fine sand flowed down with the wall clock and found that it seemed the fine sand would be completely exhausted in less than five days.

By then, this treasure map will likely become the key or guide to the location of the "Rhine" sword.

"Five days...that's perfect. If we can get our hands on it, it will be very useful in ten days."

After all, ten days from now will be the day when the "Eternal Proof" is born on the Baron Ocean.

After resting on the sofa for a while, Xia Fa decided to strike while the iron was hot and enter the small world to absorb the fist-sized pure white light-chasing silver crystal!

Xia Fa had already experienced such a significant improvement after absorbing only a few pure white light-seeking crystals the size of lychees. He was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of transformation this fist-sized pure white light-seeking crystal would bring him.

Perfect timing! Let's bring Benedict and Meowkor into the little world too, let them get acquainted, and hopefully build a base there.

Thinking this, Xia Fa looked at Benedict and Meowkor with a mysterious expression, and waved to the two girls, one big and one small:

"You two, come here. I have a huge secret to tell you."

Benedict immediately became curious:

"What? What earth-shattering secret?"

Nyakoru's eyes widened even more:

Wow, really?

Chapter 273 A New Silver Throne Origin Secret Technique! The Most Practical One? The Struggle for the Position of Young Master in a Divinely Favored Family!

The bright sunshine shone down, the waves lapped against the beach, and a pair of fair little feet stepped into the wet sand, with even the spaces between their toes filled with fine sand.

"one two Three!"

Benedict stretched out his arms to maintain his balance as he hopped on the beach. Occasionally, he would hop out and step onto the sand in front of him, startling a crab that would emerge from the side, bubbling as it swam away.

Meowkor stared blankly at the sea, her innocent, sky-blue eyes filled with wonder.

"Master, is this... is this your little world?"

Xia Fa stood beside the two girls and smiled upon hearing this:

"what happened?"

Meowkor shook her head blankly:

"No, it's nothing, it's just that this is the first time I've seen the ocean."

But as she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and sadly lowered her head:

"It's just a pity that the head nanny will never see it..."

Xia Fa understood that the old woman she was talking about was the former leader of the Cat Girl House in the Giant Egg World, but she died at the hands of the Pure Silver Giant while protecting the cat girls.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa went over and gently stroked the kitten girl's head, comforting her:

"It's alright. You've already avenged Granny, haven't you? She'll be very pleased to see how powerful you've become in heaven."

Meowkor nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite:

"Okay... alright, then I will definitely continue to become stronger in the future! I won't let down the expectations of the First Granny and the Second Granny!"

Since the pure silver giant was destroyed, the strongest beings in the giant egg world are Chief Big of the dog-man race and Granny Meow of the cat-girl race.

In other words, the dog-people and cat-girls in the giant egg world are unlikely to encounter any more danger.

In addition, they all grew up in the giant egg world and have become accustomed to life there. Moreover, it is indeed difficult for them to come out, so they chose to stay inside.

That's good, it relieves Nyakoru of her worries and allows her to follow me with peace of mind.

Xia Fa understood that although becoming a follower of God was extremely difficult, if he were to become one one day, he would need to establish faiths and even build churches in various places.

In this situation, the more confidants one has, the better. In the future, whether it is Cousin Hercules, Cousin Locke, or even Princess Shark, they can all serve as one's confidants and become one's saints.

Needless to say, Mikoru was the strongest under his command, aside from the doll girl Benes. The sacred body of the cat race was no joke.

Therefore, Xia Fa responded with a smile:

"Don't worry, you'll never lack super-sized dried fish while you're with me. Just focus on your cultivation. I'll take you and Benedict for some training when we have time."

Meowko nodded her little head vigorously, her gaze firm, and said:

"Yes, Master, I will strive to cultivate!"

Then, she looked at the sea with a curious expression, watching the various fish swimming in the coral reefs and the lobsters and scallops hiding among the rocks. The more she looked, the brighter her eyes became, as if she could never get tired of it.

Xia Fa chuckled and shook his head, ignoring her and not bothering Benedict, who was engrossed in hopscotch. He walked to the side and took out the fist-sized pure white light-seeking silver crystal.

It must be said that this pure white light-traveling crystal silver arrived at the perfect time, just before the Dream Come True sea train set sail after midnight.

I wonder what benefits such a large, pure white, light-traveling silver crystal will bring me after I absorb it.

At this moment, the flow rate of the mystical living silver in his body was incredibly fast, and every cell in his body seemed to be thirsting for this pure white light-seeking silver.

Without hesitation, Xia Fa moved his palm and absorbed it directly.

This time, he was suddenly jolted, and his pupils even momentarily lost focus.

Whoosh—!

Mercury vapor suddenly emanated from Xia Fa's entire body, instantly enveloping him and forming a swirling sphere the size of a house.

Beneath and Meowkor were both startled and immediately turned around, looking at Shafa with considerable worry and concern.

But then, as if sensing something, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

As Xiafa's doll girl and catgirl, they were naturally able to sense their master's safety. Seeing that Xiafa was not only not in any danger, but seemed to be in a state of frantic improvement, the two girls, one big and one small, were naturally relieved.

However, Benedict stopped playing hopscotch, and Meowkor stopped looking at the sea; they were both quietly waiting for Shafa to emerge from the giant, mercury-shrouded sphere.

It seemed that only by seeing Xia Fa unharmed could they truly feel at ease.

While waiting, Beneath and Meowkor took out their Extraordinary Dried Fish in unison and started munching on them.

Time passed slowly, and several hours later—

The giant sphere of mercury vapor, the size of a house, suddenly shrank inward, and Xia Fa, as if nothing had happened, walked out of it. Mercury vapor surged wildly into his body from behind until it disappeared.

Beneath and Meowkor exchanged a glance, then, forgetting all about their delicious super-sized dried fish, rushed forward.

"Xia Fa, are you alright?"

"Master, what happened to you just now?"

Seeing the two girls' concerned expressions, Xia Fa felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, revealing his teeth:

"It's alright, I only absorbed a pure white light-seeking silver crystal, don't worry."
