I'm not just human!

It's impossible that the ancient gods could truly tolerate these Great Old Ones. After all, the Great Old Ones can easily corrupt and degrade all living beings on countless inhabited planets in a star field.

"No, absolutely not. If these mages are so hostile to us superhumans, they must hate the followers of the Great Old Ones even more, wishing they could eradicate them completely..."

"If we speculate in this way, the ancient gods would not have been able to tolerate the Great Old Ones either."

However, it was precisely because this was confirmed that Xia Fa became even more puzzled.

Could it be that 30,000 years ago... so many Great Old Ones just appeared out of thin air?

That's simply impossible. Judging from the scene where [Absolute Defense] chased down [Rhine Calamity], there may be some Great Old Ones who are born with it, but many others probably need to sign secret contracts and absorb and accommodate [Eternal Certificates] step by step to achieve their Great Old One status.

So, what exactly happened 30,000 years ago?

Xia Fa suddenly thought of the Cleaners and realized a possibility.

That is, 30,000 years ago, the Cleaners awoke and swept through the entire universe and even the Protoss Realm, killing all the ancient gods, as well as all the magicians and all living beings.

This seems to fit the title of "cleaner" very well.

However, this conjecture is clearly untenable.

Because in this extraordinary world, it is clearly recorded in all kinds of history that 30,000 years ago, the universe was just as prosperous as it is now.

The only difference is that, back then, on all the life-bearing planets in the universe, humans and demi-humans were a minority, and the majority were races under the command of the Great Old Ones.

But even the races corresponding to the Great Old Ones were wiped out by the combined efforts of the nine Great Gods, not by the Cleaners.

Xia Fa became increasingly puzzled as he thought about it. The only thing he was certain of was that 30,000 years ago... something unimaginable must have happened, which led to the near-complete extinction of magicians in the real world and the Celestial Spirit Realm, and the fall of the ancient gods.

At the same time, it also led to the sudden emergence of the nine great gods and the appearance of the Great Old Ones, resulting in the war of the gods that the entity "Bard" had once described.

Tefaro was clearly also deeply puzzled at this moment, especially since he seemed unaware of the existence of the "Cleanser," so he had less information and was hundreds or thousands of times more puzzled than Shafa.

However, both of them understood that now was not the time to dwell on this issue. In any case, they had already obtained so much information and intelligence from 100,000 years ago, and there would be plenty of time to ponder and study it later.

The most important thing now is to take advantage of these twenty-odd hours to successfully complete the plan, destroy the Ancient Pillars of Gods, and obtain what each of them wants!

"Understood. Shall we take action now?"

Xia Fa stood up, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and a hint of anticipation.

Destroying the Pillars of the Ancient Gods will eliminate Archmage Wizreil, meaning we can also take care of him and avenge our ambush.

Tefaro also looked at the Guardian Lord, as if he only needed to wait for His word before taking immediate action.

The Lord of Guardians also became solemn at this moment; the usually gentle and refined Him revealed a murderous glint in His eyes.

Only then did He finally seem less like a university professor and more like a supreme ruler who had slain countless enemies.

“Wizard must have anticipated this. The reason He fled just now was probably to speed up preparations, so... the faster we act, the better!”

As the Lord of Guardians spoke, he put his iron-clad helmet back on.

"Let's not delay, let's set off now."

……

After half an hour.

Arcane City.

In a medieval-style tavern, Shafa and Tefaro, dressed as magicians, each held a glass of beer in an oak goblet and gazed out the window into the distance.

The sky above Arcane City was now shrouded by a massive, towering sandcastle that blotted out the sky.

The castle was constantly filled with astonishing fluctuations of magical and supernatural power. Every fluctuation gave people the feeling that if it were to be released even slightly, it could instantly destroy Arcane City, Mystery City, or even the entire Time-Stilled Land.

Outside the Yellow Sand Castle, high in the sky, several figures were also fighting, each using a variety of secret abilities, spells, and forbidden techniques. The sky was sometimes as dark as night, and sometimes as bright as when lightning struck, with various chaotic auras interfering with time and space.

In Arcane City, people either hid in their houses or gathered in taverns or restaurants, anxiously watching the battle unfold.

"Just as Lord Wizree just announced to the whole city, the Guardian Lord really did bring the corrupt ones to attack."

"Lord Wizreil said that if any suspicious persons are found to have infiltrated the city, they should be reported to Him immediately through the magic mirror. You must be careful."

“I’ve been keeping an eye on it, but Arcane City is so big, how could it be so easy to spot?”

The commoners in the tavern were talking amongst themselves, while some magicians gathered together and whispered among themselves.

In fact, neither Xia Fa nor Te Faro expected that the infiltration would go so smoothly.

Half an hour ago, after discussing the specific details of the operation, the Guardian Lord used the Rainbow Bridge to lead the two of them and their subordinates directly to the Arcane City, which was thousands of miles away.

Then, the Lord of Guardians summoned countless thunderclouds and forest spirits to launch an attack.

Archmage Wizreel had no choice but to lead his mages out to fight, while Shafa and Tefaro cautiously changed their appearances and then teleported directly into Arcane City by stacking their respective [Starry Sky Bubbles].

At this moment, seeing that Archmage Wizreil was completely restrained by the Lord of the Guardians, and that their subordinates were also fighting fiercely, Shafa and Tefaro exchanged glances and prepared to take action according to the directions obtained by the Lord of the Guardians through divination.

The sealing array is located beneath Archmage Wizreel's magic castle in Arcane City, at a depth of approximately 100,000 kilometers.

"Actually, I now think that this is a well-intentioned scheme that Wizreel can easily resist."

As Tefal and Shaphat stood up, they communicated through spiritual intuition.

Xia Fa also replied with spiritual intuition:

“Yes, after all, there are only so many powerful individuals above the level of Overlord in Michi City and Arcane City. Now that there are two more of us, Wizrui naturally can’t withstand us.”

In fact, Wizrui probably thought of this from the very beginning, which is why he disregarded everything and left the city to suddenly kill the two of them.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Guardians arrived just in time.

“Weizrui must have taken other measures to prevent the two of us from infiltrating. This time, it was our original secret technique of the Star Gate that made a great contribution.”

The superimposed star bubbles can easily break through and re-enter even the golden barrier generated by the Golden Beacon Scroll, let alone the magic circle barrier set up by Wizrui.

Both Xiafa and Tefaro understood this, so they simply stopped pretending and looked together in the direction of the magic castle where Wizrei was.

hum-

hum-

The next moment, their star-like bubbles expanded together.

Immediately, as the star bubble burst, the two figures disappeared together.

The magicians in the tavern were completely unaware that Tefalo, as a transcendent monarch, had already used the advanced secret ability of the [Illusion Master] contract to pull them all into an illusion the moment he stood up.

……

Arcane City, beneath the magic castle, 100,000 kilometers deep.

The rift in the starry sky opened, and Xia Fa and Te Faro stumbled out of it.

As far as the eye could see, there was an extremely vast underground cave.

Inside the cave, there indeed stood a totem pillar bearing the totems of ancient gods such as the "God of Night," the "God of Sun," and the "God of Thunder."

Around the totem pole, various orbs of light floated, each containing a treasure.

Xia Fa's spiritual intuition suddenly surged at this moment, like the mercury column in a thermometer, and all of it pointed to one of the orbs of light.

Within the ball of light was a secret treatise, seemingly carved on a stone slab, belonging to a supreme ruler.

The call of spiritual intuition also resounded extremely loudly at this moment.

"A miraculous fantasy..."

"A miraculous fantasy..."

"A miraculous fantasy..."

Chapter 281 The Bronze Cleaner Appears, Xia Fa Successfully Signs Miracle Fantasy, An Unprecedented Great War (Part 1)

At that moment, Xia Fa felt as if his chest was about to burst with joy, and he clenched his fists tightly.

He had imagined various possibilities regarding the overlord-level secret contracts that might be hidden within the sealing array beneath Arcane City.

It could be another mysterious singularity, a miraculous fantasy, or an unknown tenth overlord-level secret contract.

But if I had to say what I want most right now, it would naturally be the "Miracle Fantasy" top-tier secret contract.

After all, according to the Golden Beacon Scroll, to become a true god, one must sign a "miracle fantasy" agreement!

But Xia Fa never expected that the hegemon-level secret contract in front of him was actually a miraculous fantasy!

Moreover, once we leave this place where time stands still and return to the Dream Come True sea train, I... can make another wish!

This is equivalent to giving away a chance to make a wish for nothing!

At this moment, the stone slab bearing the supreme-level secret covenant of the Miracle Fantasy was enveloped in a hazy glow, floating up and down around the Pillars of the Ancient Gods.

It seems that you can get it immediately just by reaching out.

At this moment, Tefaro's eyes were also fixed on another ball of light next to the Pillar of the Ancient Gods, his gaze filled with incredible surprise and deep longing.

Xia Fa followed His gaze and immediately understood.

Within the floating orb of light, there was a curved sword, its color a deep purple-bronze, and its design elaborate and luxurious.

The scabbard alone was dazzling, almost too beautiful to look at directly. It was covered with mysterious and complex totems and patterns, as if it were the work of a master craftsman.

The handle, however, was wrapped with black cloth strips, giving it a rather antique look.

It seems that the scimitar itself did not have a scabbard. It was the original owner of the scimitar who, because he loved the scimitar so much, specially commissioned someone to make such a scabbard.

But none of that matters. The important thing is... both Xia Fa and Te Faro could clearly feel that even through the scabbard, this scimitar exuded an aura and power almost like an external mystic treasure!

The aura alone was extremely sharp, giving one the feeling that even taking just a few steps closer would result in being sliced ​​and shredded.

This... is actually a damaged, mysterious artifact from outer space!

At this moment, Xia Fa was genuinely happy for Tefaro, because he possessed the "Calamity" sword from the ancient treasure "Rhine Calamity," only lacking the "Rhine," and might obtain it in five days.

In this situation, he naturally couldn't use any other weapon-type treasures, especially since this incomplete external treasure was shaped like a knife, making it even less useful to him.

That works out perfectly. He gets the "Miracle Fantasy" contract, a supreme-level secret, while Tefaro gets the incomplete, outer-world treasure-level scimitar. That's perfectly fair.

Around the Pillars of the Ancient Gods, apart from these two priceless treasures, the other orbs of light appeared relatively small, containing only some sealed secret treasures and extraordinary fruits, etc.

Xia Fa even suspected that this might be a treasure that Archmage Wizreil had seized during the first ten thousand years of the universe, before the Gods entered this place of frozen time, when he killed other extraordinary beings who had broken into this place.

Especially that scimitar, it's possible that the scimitar was damaged during its battle with Wizreel, which is why it went from being a complete outer mystic treasure to a broken one.

Of course, even an incomplete external mystic treasure is still an external mystic treasure, far superior to any other mystic treasure.
