I'm not just human!

"It allows the creatures of this land to enjoy the peace of the night!"

"Black Light Cage Technique!"

Right where the chanting began, large swaths of black light suddenly spread across thousands of acres of wheat fields, instantly blocking the sunlight.

However, both Xia Fa and Te Faro were stunned at the same moment.

Because they had all clearly sensed that when the so-called "Black Light Cage Technique" was used, there was no fluctuation of extraordinary power whatsoever!

It was a strange and powerful force completely different from supernatural power, and it contained no trace of madness or loss of control. It was so pure and holy that it seemed to have no effect on the user's body or mind whatsoever!

It's important to understand that the reason extraordinary individuals can lose control is because each time they use their secret abilities, they accumulate a sense of loss of control and madness in their bodies and minds. Although the accumulation may not be large, over time, it becomes inevitable that they will eventually lose control.

In a sense, this is a fate that neither gods nor outward gods can escape, which is why anchors are needed to help stabilize the spirit, and then use the spirit to stabilize the body.

But now, this strange and powerful force contains absolutely no trace of loss of control or madness...

Even with Tefal's cynical and indifferent nature, he was completely shocked at this moment.

As for Xia Fa, perhaps because he was a transmigrator, combined with the chanting of the spellcaster before casting the spell and this sacred and holy power, he suddenly made a connection to something.

"magic?"

"Magic actually exists in this world?"

"Wait, so that person is a magician?"

His spiritual intuition had already reached that point, and sure enough, he clearly saw the figure of the spellcaster.

He was an old man with a beard that reached all the way to his chest. He wore a purple robe, a purple pointed hat of a magician, and even held a magic wand in his hand!

Rumble!

At that moment, it was as if thunder had descended from the heavens, and Xia Fa was utterly shocked.

In this place where time stands still, a magician has appeared—something that could never exist in the real world or the Protoss Realm—and can actually wield magical power through chanting…

It's important to understand that in the real world and the Protoss Realm, both human and demi-human superhumans, needless to say, utilize the superhuman power granted by the Secret Contract.

Even non-humanoid supernatural beings and humanoid supernatural beings that do not need to sign a secret contract rely on extraordinary talents. In essence, this is also a kind of extraordinary power!

Meanwhile, since Xia Fa came into this world, he has never seen or heard of anyone who can use magic!

He glanced at Tefaro beside him, who was staring blankly in utter shock, and immediately realized that Tefaro had probably never seen or heard of the power of magic.

But now, this place is home to magicians who can use magic to cast spells...

In that instant, Xia Fa genuinely felt that he... seemed to have inadvertently come into contact with the deepest secret of this world.

Chapter 278 Miracle Fantasy: The Overlord-level Secret Contract is finally in hand, and there's even a free wish opportunity? (Part 1)

Large swaths of sunlight streamed down across the fields, creating starkly different scenes on the north and south sides of the village.

To the south of the village, the wheat still basks in the sunlight, growing strong and tenacious.

But to the north of the village, thousands of acres of wheat fields seemed to be plunged into darkness, with all the sunlight absorbed by the vast black curtain above.

To be precise, it wasn't a black curtain, but rather a continuous expanse of black light, the so-called "Black Light Cage Technique."

Xiafa and Tefaro had already squeezed into the crowd of residents, silently observing the old magician who wore a purple pointed magic hat and held a magic wand.

Thousands of residents gathered together, bowing and worshipping the old, white-bearded magician, expressing their gratitude.

There were even people carrying woven bamboo baskets, bringing homemade ham and cheese to the old magician, and others bringing woolen sweaters that the residents themselves would not even wear.

The old magician chuckled and told everyone to stand up, indicating that there was no need for formalities. However, he accepted all the gifts offered by the residents without hesitation, and with a flash of light, he stored them into the ring on his index finger.

When Xia Fa saw the ring, he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

Because, isn't this just a space ring commonly found in the magical world?

Tefaro secretly shook his head and scoffed:

"Although the power this person uses is extraordinary, some of the choices he makes are really stupid. He actually made the black bag into the shape of a ring and wore it on his hand. Isn't he afraid that someone will steal it?"

Xia Fa understood why He despised this behavior so much, because in the real world, extraordinary beings would hide their black bags as much as possible, especially those above the demigod level, some even embedding them into their skin.

Wearing it on your finger like this is indeed very unsafe. Once someone locks onto a target, they could easily snatch it away with any spatial ability.

On the other hand, items shaped like rings, bracelets, and necklaces are indeed the lowest-selling items.

However, on the other hand, in the magical world, it seems that only spatial rings are storage artifacts, unlike pouches which can be crafted into any size and shape...

"Everyone, this is what I should do. For the next month, the black light cage spell on this wheat field will appear regularly, following the alternation of day and night as recorded in history books. After I finish casting the spell on the other wheat fields, I will come back in a week."

The old magician had a rather gentle expression as he chatted with the residents. Then, he turned around and headed toward the wheat field to the west of the village.

Xiafa and Tefaro exchanged glances, both preparing to follow the magician and see how things went.

Of course, through this black light cage technique, the two also judged that this magician was at most at the level of a wolf-level superhuman, so there was nothing to worry about.

Moreover, both of them realized that the magician was clearly not from this town, indicating that there might be a wider territory beyond the mountains surrounding the town, and the revelation that Tefal received through divination might also be in that place.

Fortunately, both of them possessed the strength of extraordinary monarchs, so going on a trip wouldn't be a problem; they could return within twenty hours.

As the old magician walked toward the next wheat field with his wand in hand, the residents actually followed behind him, looking like they were on a pilgrimage.

Xiafa and Tefaro mingled among them, each lost in thought.

What puzzled Tefal was why such a pure and sacred power existed in this "place where time stood still," and why it had never been heard of in the real world or the Protoss realm.

Xia Fa was pondering why, in the past, people seemed to have widely used magic, but now magic had vanished, leaving only supernatural power.

when--!

As we walked, a melodious and powerful bell rang out from an old-fashioned bell tower at the entrance of the village.

The residents then strangely stopped all at once, each taking out various pocket watches from their purses or the lining of their clothes, and winding them up to check them.

Xia Fa understood that in a world where the sun never moves and is always at noon, these inhabitants would probably have to rely on this method to perceive time.

The old magician didn't wait for the residents and continued walking towards the wheat field at the west end of the village.

Xia Fa and Te Faro instinctively glanced at the old clock tower.

But that one glance made both of them tremble, their pupils shrinking as if they had seen something utterly unbelievable!

On the side wall of the old clock tower, there was a perpetual calendar hanging.

This perpetual calendar is clearly a magical creation. It depicts a scene of a spring grassland, with birds flying, cattle and sheep grazing, and a gentle breeze caressing the white flowers. Moreover, everything on it is moving.

But that's not the key point. The key point is that the years are clearly written on the perpetual calendar.

The Autumn Era, the 30,627th year.

Like the sun in the sky, the years on this perpetual calendar seem to be influenced by some extremely high-level power and will never change again.

However, since this is a product of magic, even if it doesn't change, it can still allow people to see the coming years.

Each era lasts 50,000 years and is divided into four phases: the Spring Era, the Summer Era, the Autumn Era, and the Winter Era.

"Xia Fa, I... I didn't see it wrong, did I? The year on this really is the Autumn Curtain Era?"

Tefaro's voice trembled, and his face turned pale, as if in an instant, his understanding of the extraordinary world, which he had built up since childhood, had been greatly impacted.

Xia Fa was in a slightly better position because he had already been impacted once before.

"That's right, it is indeed the Autumn Curtain Era."

His voice was solemn as he answered Tefaro.

Tefaro said in disbelief:

"But our world, now, is..."

Xia Fa smiled wryly:

"Spring Curtain Era, Year 3012".

Originally, both Xiafa and Tefaro instinctively believed that the use of spring, summer, autumn, and winter as a universal calendar must have been invented by the nine great gods.

In other words, the first year of the Spring Curtain Era was the origin of the universe, and then the universe developed for more than 30,000 years until now.

However, this place, which is clearly from ancient times and is described as a "place where time stands still," is shown as the Autumn Era on the perpetual calendar.

This means that... the universe has actually passed through the Autumn and Winter eras and has returned to the Spring era?

"This is from... a small town from 100,000 years ago?! But our universe... isn't our universe only 30,000 years old?"

Tefaro was completely distraught, even showing signs of mental instability and irrationality. If he took another step, he might lose control.

If a transcendent monarch like Tefaro were to get out of control... it would be nothing short of a disaster.

To comfort Him and soothe His inner turmoil, Xia Fa sincerely said:

"Would you believe me if I said I'd had this suspicion for a while?"

Tefaro was stunned for a moment, seemingly forcing himself to process and accept this reality. After a long while, he finally exhaled a breath of stale air.

“I take back what I said earlier, Xia Fa. You’re smarter. I should have realized it sooner. How could the universe only be 30,000 years old? It’s not even enough time for monkeys to evolve into humans.”

Seeing that His rationality had returned to normal, Xia Fa couldn't help but laugh:

"You've heard of evolution too?"

Tefaro exclaimed:

"Yes, back then I just thought, how could we humans have evolved from monkeys? Now... I believe it."

At that moment, Sharfa suddenly realized that Tefal was, after all, just a young man from this steam and mechanical age, unlike himself who was born into a modern society and completely believed in science.

So it's normal that He didn't believe in evolution before, but now He really has no choice but to believe it.

"Our universe... I'm afraid many unimaginable things happened in the past, especially 30,000 years ago..."

Tefal sighed, lowered his head, and his brows furrowed more and more, clearly deep in thought.

Xia Fa didn't disturb him. Just then, he reached the west end of the village, so he stood with the residents and quietly watched the old magician cast a spell again.

However, this time, he also obtained crucial intelligence.

He had previously thought that this "place where time stood still" was brought into the gray fog of time during the past 30,000 years of the universe due to the influence of some extremely high-level entity.

But now it seems that this place... was actually 100,000 years ago.

Furthermore, considering the common understanding among people in the supernatural world that the universe is only 30,000 years old...
