I'm not just human!

At the same time, the sandcastle below shook and then disappeared.
The residents stood there blankly for a while. Some of them, having just come from the dimly lit guardian castle, were not used to the strong midday sun and instinctively shielded their heads with their hands.
But soon, the residents noticed the departing figure of the guardian of the sky. After a moment of surprise, they all knelt down before Him with utmost devotion.
"Lord of the Guardians, it's Lord of the Guardians!"
"The rumors are true! The Lord of Guardians is indeed a good person; He saved us!"
"From this day forward, I will never trust those magicians again; they are the ones who are corrupt!"
"Yes, those who sign the secret pact should be called extraordinary beings. From now on, everyone in our village and town who has the means should go to the Secret Pact City to sign the secret pact and become extraordinary beings!"
"Thank you, Lord Guardian! From now on, you are the greatest benefactor of our entire village!"
Upon hearing this, the Guardian turned around and waved his hand, indicating that the villagers did not need to be so polite.
However, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to come out, He casually created countless candies, which rained down from the sky and were given to the villagers who could barely make ends meet due to low productivity.
The next moment, the Guardian Lord, together with Shafa and Tefaro, stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge, and their figures disappeared.
……
This wasn't the first time Shafa had stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge; after all, he had previously used the dark Rainbow Bridge of Dick Tudor, which was covered in corpses and flowing with blood.
In comparison, the Guardian Lord, despite being a transcendent Grand Lord, possessed teleportation power on the Rainbow Bridge that was at least one level weaker than that of Dict.
From this perspective, Dick Tudor truly is the Emperor of Mysteries, having signed two overlord-level secret contracts and a total of thirty secret contracts.
As Xia Fa descended from the Rainbow Bridge and stood before an extremely spacious and luxurious mansion, he couldn't help but ponder a question.
"Speaking of which, what will be the second hegemonic secret agreement that Dick Tudor signed?"
He knew that the first hegemonic contract Dick Tudor signed was for the Fairy Tale World, but he wasn't sure what the second one was, as he had never seen Dick Tudor display any related contract abilities.
"My two friends, would you do us the honor of visiting our humble abode? Your presence would truly be an honor to our city of Michi."
The guardian lord then stopped in front of the mansion and extended a warm invitation.
Xia Fa and Te Faro exchanged a glance, both genuinely feeling that this person from 100,000 years ago spoke differently, with an ancient and refined accent.
"Of course, of course. Senior saved our lives and treated us with such hospitality. We juniors are naturally more than happy to accept."
Xia Fa stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and smiled as he spoke.
Tefaro was astonished, his eyes widening in surprise. He seemed to have never expected that Xiafa was so cultured, able to have such a fluent conversation with an ancient person from 100,000 years ago.
In fact, Tefaro did not know that this was because Xiafa was a time traveler who simply translated the ancient Chinese he had learned into Putong.
Xia Fa's words were extremely courteous, and the Guardian Lord was greatly pleased, quickly yielding to him.
"Come, come, I'll have my men prepare a feast. We'll drink until we drop tonight. You know, the last time someone came from the real world was five hundred years ago."
Five hundred years?
Both Xia Fa and Te Faro were taken aback.
Judging from the appearance, it is estimated that about 500 years ago, a signatory of the Gate of Stars discovered the "Time Concealment" when using the secret ability of "Time Concealment" on the Dream Come True sea train, and thus infiltrated this place where time stands still.
Without much thought, the two followed their guardian into the mansion.
The mansion also appears to be decorated in a medieval style, luxurious and grand, with reddish-brown furniture throughout. The floor is covered with ancient Greek-style carpets, and there is an entire wall of bookshelves in the living room, filled with large books.
"I was following a god and accidentally stumbled into this place from the Time Mist of the Astral Realm 20,000 years ago."
As soon as they entered the hall, the Guardian began chatting with the two of them, his language becoming much more down-to-earth.
It's unclear whether this extraordinary lord hadn't seen anyone from the real world in a long time, or if he simply wanted the two of them to relax.
Twenty thousand years ago?
Xia Fa was taken aback. He and Tefaro had instinctively assumed that the Guardian Lord, like the residents of this place where time had stopped, came from 100,000 years ago.
Unexpectedly, it was 20,000 years ago.
However, it makes sense, as the lifespan of a transcendent lord is actually less than ten thousand years, and it is impossible for them to live for one hundred thousand years.
Unless one becomes a god, even the lowest-ranking subordinate god can achieve near-immortality, but it is easy to accumulate the danger of losing control and going mad as one ages.
It seems that only by becoming one of the nine righteous gods can one truly exist eternally, unaffected by anything.
"No, even 20,000 years ago is not right. Aren't transcendent monarchs supposed to live for less than 10,000 years?"
The moment this question arose in Xia Fa's mind, the Guardian Lord continued:
"To my shame, I was sealed away by that divine being and knew nothing at the time. It wasn't until that divine being fell that he unsealed me more than a thousand years ago and helped me become a transcendent lord."
Xia Fa then realized what was happening and asked curiously:
"Fallen? Why?"
Unexpectedly, the Lord of Guardians uttered a statement that startled both him and Tefaro.
"That's naturally because of... a big battle with that beast Wizreel."
Before the two could ask any further questions, the Guardian Lord continued:
"That divine being came to this place because he was following the guidance of his spiritual intuition in search of one of the three unknown overlord-level secret contracts."
"As a result, as soon as I entered, the 'Time Breathing Tube' closed, and He couldn't leave. So, He chose to seal me away, saying He would wait for a future opportunity."
"Back then, there was no Mystic City, only Arcane City. It was He who recruited residents, signed Mystic Pacts, and gradually built the prosperous city we see today."
Upon hearing this, Tefaro's eyes suddenly gleamed with intense curiosity:
"One of the three unknown overlord-level secret contracts?"
Although as a transcendent monarch, he could no longer sign any hegemon-level secret contracts, the various speculations and explorations about the three unknown hegemon-level secret contracts have always been one of the most popular topics in the transcendental academic community, no less than the research and discussion on physical entities.
Xia Fa suddenly realized something.
In other words, is there really one of the three unknown overlord-level secret contracts in this place where time has stopped?
"A two-thirds chance..."
For him, ever since he learned the second way to become a true god, namely "signing ten overlord-level secret contracts and three kinds of eternal certificates", any unsigned overlord-level secret contract is something he desperately desires and wants to collect.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of us. Whether it's the [Miracle Fantasy], a top-level secret contract that must be signed to become a true god, or the unknown and most mysterious tenth top-level secret contract, either is possible!
Even if it really is the [Mystic Singularity], a supreme-level contract, I can still use it. It's a good opportunity to try out what the effects of a supreme-level contract are like; it's just as worthwhile.
Therefore, Xia Fa instantly perked up, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
But before he could ask a question, the Guardian nodded, as if answering Tefaro's question:
"That's right, it's one of the three unknown overlord-level secret contracts. Back then, after that god entered this place, he discovered that the overlord-level secret contract... was hidden in a sealing array somewhere underground in Arcane City."
"Unfortunately, Wizreel also possessed the status and power of a god at that time. He seemed to hate all superhumans, having experienced something that made him extremely resentful. He was willing to do anything to oppose that god and prevent him from entering Arcane City."
"In the end, that God chose to establish the city of Mystic, partly to find an anchor for himself, and partly because he couldn't go out and had to find something to do."
"Until more than a thousand years ago... Wizre said that he had received a divine revelation that the city of Michi was about to be destroyed, and launched an attack on our city of Michi without regard for anything else, using all sorts of forbidden techniques."
"In the end, the deity chose to pull the seemingly crazed Him into a void. After a great battle, Wizreel was knocked down from his level and seriously injured, but the deity himself was also close to his demise."
"It was at that time that I was released from the seal and became a High Overlord, and then fought with Wizreel, who had recovered from his injuries but was forever stuck in the High Overlord position, until now."
"Oh, by the way, among their mages, Wizrei isn't called the Extraordinary Lord, but something like 'Supreme Grand Mage'."
"Further up, there are different names. According to them, they are divided into minor gods, major gods, and ancient gods, which correspond to gods outside the gods and gods respectively."
Xia Fa then realized that this Guardian Lord probably hadn't been in contact with people from the real world for far too long, as he spoke his mind without stopping.
However, this is also good, as he and Tefal have obtained a lot of very useful intelligence as a result.
"So it seems that if we can really kill Weizree and infiltrate the sealing array beneath Arcane City within these twenty hours..."
Xia Fa's eyes flashed. Now that the opportunity to obtain the [Miracle Fantasy] or the unknown tenth overlord-level secret contract was right in front of him, he would never give it up.
Moreover, since neither Tefaro nor the Guardian Lord can sign another overlord-level secret contract, there's no need to even compete for it, which is the best outcome.
If they can manage to sneak in, he'll take the overlord-level secret contract, and the other treasures can be split between the two of them.
At this moment, the Lord of Guardians, while speaking, led the two to the terrace on the second floor of the mansion.
The terrace was decorated quite elegantly, with a fountain, flower beds, various sculptures, and a table already filled with food in the middle.
However, these foods contain few supernatural creatures; they are simply exquisitely prepared folk delicacies.
The only dish that could be considered a supernatural creature seemed to be roasted ribs made from the meat of a demigod-level Firetooth Boar.
However, this dish was so appealing that the guards standing around the terrace couldn't help but be drawn to it, even though they couldn't eat it—after all, it was the leader's way of entertaining guests.
Seeing this, Xia Fa thought of how the Guardian Lord had saved him and Tefaro, and with his own fortune of nearly 150 million gold pounds, he was not short of money at all, and could buy ingredients from supernatural beings of the Overlord level at will.
Then, he smiled and looked at the Guardian Lord, saying:
"I happen to have brought some snacks with me. If you don't mind, would you mind if I took some out and we ate together?"
Chapter 280 Miracle Fantasy: The Overlord-level Secret Contract is finally in hand, and there's even a free wish opportunity? (Part 2)
Upon hearing Xia Fa's words, the Guardian Lord was taken aback at first, then laughed:
"Good, good! It's been over 20,000 years. I've always wanted to taste the food of the real world. It's a taste I really miss."
As he spoke, the Guardian Lord removed his helmet, which resembled an iron bucket.
To Shafa and Tefaro's surprise, beneath the helmet was the face of a rather refined middle-aged man with reddish-brown curly hair and deep blue eyes, looking more like a university professor than a transcendental monarch.
The Lord of Guardians invited the two to sit down. The terrace on the second floor of the mansion offered a panoramic view of the entire city of Mykih.
The city was filled with countless buildings of all sizes, all in a medieval style, with off-white walls and pale yellow or pale red roofs. Countless residents walked between the buildings, and the streets were bustling with activity.
Judging from appearances, this city of Michi is quite prosperous.
Of course, if we compare prosperity alone, Michi City is no match for the City of Ten Thousand Stars or Augustus City, and it is even inferior to Rum City.
However, given the presence of superhumans in Michi City, it's unlikely that it would truly suffer from poverty due to insufficient productivity, like the surrounding small towns and villages.
"what is that?"
Tefal pointed with great curiosity to the northwest corner of the city of Michi, where dozens of cylindrical towers stood, reaching straight into the sky.
These round towers form a circle, floating up and down, with many extraordinary beings flying in and out of the arched windows, which is quite mysterious.
The Guardian Lord revealed a gentle smile:
