I'm not just human!

Xia Fa's eyes flickered as he began to speculate.

The Crimson Agent is not only cautious, but also undoubtedly a very selfish person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

In this situation, He would never step forward like Norton Dragon and Airo Tong to actively hold off this quasi-god-like being in order to save others.

Xia Fa even suspected that the Crimson Agent's initial plan was to hide in the shadows, ensuring that he would not be injured in the slightest, and then if anyone could actually injure that quasi-divine being, he would be responsible for killing that person, thereby maximizing his chances of becoming the sole winner.

Unfortunately, the Crimson Agent had no idea that the Golden Axe Cleaner had already killed that quasi-god-like monster for him, and even claimed the credit for it.

Xia Fa even suspected that the Crimson Executor might not even know of the existence of the Golden Cleaners, after all, he was just a transcendental monarch.

"What should I do next... challenge a transcendent monarch to advance my understanding of the arcane singularity?"

"But now I'm afraid we'll have to fight the veteran transcendent monarchs. With the Crimson Executors around, the risk is too high..."

"Or perhaps, we could find Tefaro and the others, and explore together on the Dream Come True sea train?"

Although the Dream Come True Sea Train is extremely special, it is still a strange realm after all. Since it is a strange realm, there must be many good things inside.

Xia Fa had heard before that some people had accidentally obtained very rare treasures while undergoing a 24-hour survival challenge on the Dream Come True sea train, but the probability was very small.

After all, anyone who survives will receive a reward related to their dream, just to varying degrees of success. This is already quite generous. If the Dream Come True sea train were filled with treasures, that would be too extravagant.

But since he had nothing else to do, Xia Fa decided to just go and look for it!

With that thought in mind, he stepped into the black fog.

Knowing that the quasi-god had died mysteriously, Xia Fa appeared very calm and relaxed this time. He touched the carriage with his left hand and looked at the seats and the doors of each carriage with his right hand to see if there were any hidden barriers or seals.

He walked calmly along, through more than a dozen train carriages.

However, they didn't see a single person, nor did they find any place where treasures or hidden barriers might be concealed.

But Xia Fa was not discouraged and continued to explore.

Suddenly, as he walked into the next carriage, his spiritual intuition struck him, as if he had sensed something.

Immediately, Xia Fa's gaze fell on the corner of a row of metal seats on the left.

There was a fluctuation in that place that only he could sense.

This fluctuation contained both temporal and spatial fluctuations, but it was extremely faint and very weak. If he hadn't been a signatory to the "Gate of Stars," he wouldn't have been able to sense it.

"Could it be..."

Xia Fa felt a sudden surge of excitement. Perhaps there was a treasure hidden in this fluctuation, or perhaps a barrier seal!

Since there was no danger now, Xia Fa immediately reached out and pressed his hand against the fluctuation. Starlight condensed in his palm, and a key that shimmered with starlight took shape.

This is the Star Key, one of the secret abilities of the Star Gate. It can open most of the seals and barriers in the world within the rank of the signatory of the Star Gate.

This fluctuation can be considered a kind of seal, so using the Star Key is the most suitable option.

With a tremor in his palm, Xia Fa sent the Star Key soaring into the air, spinning once before plunging into the wave of energy, then twisting a large circle to the left.

The next moment, the fluctuations dissipated, revealing a pitch-black hole no bigger than a silver coin.

Suddenly, an eye peered out from the dark opening and stared directly at Xia Fa.

The appearance of the eye was so sudden that it almost startled Xia Fa, but immediately, a sound came from the dark cave entrance.

"Xiafa?"

The voice carried a hint of languid sleepiness, yet also a touch of cynicism, which Xia Fa recognized immediately.

"Tefaro?"

At this moment, Xia Fa felt like he had a bellyful of complaints but didn't know where to begin. After all that, it turned out that the fluctuations were actually caused by Tefaro...

"This is a fusion ability I developed by combining 'time concealment' and 'all-encompassing star attraction'. It can distort this small area of ​​space and then hide in the time within this small area of ​​space."

Tefal's voice came from the dark little hole, carrying a hint of relief at surviving a disaster:

"To be honest, when I felt this small space of mine being opened up just now, I was really startled. I thought that quasi-god had mysteriously discovered me."

Xia Fa couldn't help but laugh:

"You're really good at hiding. I was worried about you guys before, but now it seems that, at least for you, there's nothing to worry about."

Tefal seemed to remember something and asked:

"You're standing here so calmly now, could it be that the other one has mysteriously gone to another carriage?"

Xia Fa neither confirmed nor denied:

"more or less."

Because this mysterious death of the quasi-god involved the Golden Axe Cleanser, he couldn't tell Tefaro, for fear of implicating Him.

But Tefal's voice suddenly became more invigorated:

"That's perfect! Come in, I've found a great place, a hidden area of ​​the Dream Come True sea train. If we can crack it, we might find some really good treasures!"

The hidden area of ​​the Dream Come True Sea Train?

Upon hearing Tefaro's words, Shafa's eyes lit up.

He was worried about having nothing to do for more than twenty hours, but he had to spend those twenty-odd hours waiting on the train.

After all, with the help of the Golden Giant Axe Cleaner, once the 24-hour survival challenge ends, he will become the sole winner and be able to wish for the most important overlord-level secret contract, the [Miracle Fantasy].

And now, this hidden area has come at just the right time!

Without any further guidance from Tefaro, Xiafa simply placed his hand on the dark, round hole. After a burst of starlight emanated from his palm, his body immediately shrank and spun into the dark hole like a vortex.

A wave of dizziness and disorientation washed over Xia Fa, who gently touched his forehead and it took him a while to regain his balance.

Although he had practiced using the "Time Concealment" ability, a secret power of the Star Gate, he was entering a Time Concealment place created by Tefalo, so he naturally needed to get used to it a little.

"Xia Fa, come with me."

Tefaro was standing not far in front of him, waving at him.

Xia Fa looked up and immediately noticed something was wrong.

The hidden place of time is essentially a crack in time. It is completely still, like a giant transparent bubble, where nothing exists.

But now, not far from where Tefaro stands, at the edge of the Time-Hidden Land, on the inner wall of the transparent bubble, there is... a small hole!

Outside the small hole, a long, narrow gray tube was connected, extending all the way into the gray mist outside the Time-Hidden Land.

The Hidden Land of Time, being a rift in time itself, undoubtedly contains the endless, boundless gray fog outside... which is time itself.

Is this long, thin gray tube directly connected to time itself?

Xia Fa's curiosity was immediately piqued, and he walked over in a few steps. At this moment, Tefaro was already half-squatting on the ground, studying the gray thin tube, so Xia Fa also squatted down.

Tefaro stroked his chin, staring at the small hole, countless secret runes flashing in his eyes. He was clearly thinking at an ultra-high speed with the brainpower of an extraordinary monarch.

Xia Fa followed suit, rubbing his slightly stubbled chin as he began to examine the small hole.

Neither of them spoke, and they both fell into silence, but the atmosphere was not strange at all, because given the relationship between Tefaro and Shafa, they had reached the point where they didn't need to deliberately find topics to talk about.

"I think..."

Tefal suddenly spoke, his tone full of wisdom, clearly indicating that he had already reached a conclusion, and continued:

"...Your doll girl is a perfect match for you."

Xia Fa: ? ? ?

Tefaro smiled:

"Just kidding. Based on my observation, if we can find a way to safely pass through this mysterious tube, we should be able to... enter some ancient place where time has stopped."

Xia Fa's eyes flickered:

"How to say?"

He was completely clueless about this kind of occult knowledge, so he took the opportunity to learn.

Tefalo was clearly aware that while Shafa appeared very strong—and was indeed very strong—he only had a superficial understanding of many areas of mysticism, so he took this opportunity to share:

"First of all, one of the most important rules for us signatories of the Gate of Stars is 'Never step into Time,' you should have heard of that, right?"

Xia Fa nodded. He had heard this from his great-grandfather, Emperor Xia Latu, and his cousin Hercules, after they both learned that he was the future Emperor of the Mysterious Realm.

The reason for this rule is quite simple.

Historically, every signatory to the Gate of Stars who dared to break through the transparent bubble wall of the Time-Hidden Land while in a state of "Time Concealment" and venture into the gray fog has invariably disappeared.

Tefaro nodded slightly:

“If you know this law, then it’s easier to explain. Normally, as signatories of the Gate of Stars, we should not be allowed to touch even a trace of this gray mist that represents time itself. However, there is an exception.”

But immediately, He changed the subject:

"The exception is if some being of unfathomable rank intervenes, or if an equal force intervenes, forcibly freezing time in a certain place in the universe, then one can try to pass through the time fog and enter that place, and if lucky, come out unharmed."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa frowned and pondered for a moment before saying:

"But that...wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Tefaro nodded:

“That’s right. After all, we first need to locate the place where time has stopped, and find out exactly where it is in the time fog, before we can try to pass through the time fog to enter. But locating it is difficult in itself, and it is also easy to get completely lost in the time fog when passing through it.”

As he spoke, He pointed to the thin gray tube:

"But if we had a breathing tube, we wouldn't have to be afraid at all."

Xia Fa asked in confusion:

"Time Breathing Capsules?"

Tefaro smiled slightly, about to patiently explain to him.

But soon, Xia Fa figured it out himself:

"Let me guess. Originally, in this place where time stands still, all living things and things should be frozen in time, since time itself has stopped. However, if there are truly living beings that can survive here, then time still needs to flow within, and these time-breathing ducts—"

Tefal snapped his fingers:

“That’s right, it’s used to connect the Time Fog, which is ‘time’ itself, to facilitate the internal flow of time. We can also directly follow this Time Breathing Tube to find that place where time stands still. Xia Fa, I didn’t expect you to be able to guess it directly. You really are second only to me in intelligence.”
