I'm not just human!

Yes, that's the feeling of being connected by blood. You can feel it through spiritual intuition as soon as you enter a meditative state.

On Gilgamesh, every circular city has members of his family, and even the most distant relatives are still related to him by generation, making them the most distant of the distant relatives.

"These dragons are descendants of the Star Dragons with diluted bloodlines. They are docile, have little offensive power, and their meat is delicious."

Folnir pointed to the giant dragons that occasionally swept past below, enthusiastically introducing them to Shafa:

“When the family is not facing a life-or-death crisis, every city is open to the public and welcomes people from other life-bearing planets to visit and trade. Even now, reputable merchant groups can still come.”

Xia Fa hesitated and said:

"Aren't you afraid there might be spies among them?"

Fernil laughed:

"Don't be afraid, Patriarch. In fact, unless it's the other two great divine families or some extremely powerful secret organizations that cause trouble, under normal circumstances, any other petty scoundrels who dare to come here are just courting death."

He paused, then continued:

"There's no need to fear the sudden arrival of those gods, outer gods, or unknown beings wandering in the Protoss Realm. Our planet Gilgamesh has been personally blessed by Lord Paradox Jester with the divine power of a true god. Unless it's another true god, gods and god-level beings cannot get close."

Xia Fa listened with great interest and then interjected:

"So, the whale watching festival should actually be held here."

Whale watching parties are inherently safe; the greatest danger lies in the fact that once valuable items are extracted, they will attract various powerful beings from the Celestial Spirit Realm, ranging from gods to higher levels.

However, if it were on Gilgamesh, even this last bit of danger would be gone.

Fernir seemed very eager to get closer to Shafa, so without Shafa asking or saying much, he took the initiative to introduce them:

"Actually, each of our three divinely favored families has its own 'whale watching party,' it's just that the whales being dissected aren't necessarily the ones that are traveling."

Xia Fa's interest immediately surged:

"How to say?"

Thanks to the extraordinary talent of his pet "Nature Bee," he is very enthusiastic about events like whale watching festivals, as he can always make a profit, and sometimes even a lot.

Moreover, in many ways, as he has signed more and more hegemonic-level secret agreements, he is actually somewhat lacking compared to those who have signed a single hegemonic-level secret agreement when it comes to the development of a specific hegemonic-level secret agreement.

In this case, sacred metals, divine blood fruits, and ancient fruits are needed to make up for the deficiency.

Moreover, these three supreme divine objects not only have unimaginable magical effects on the development of secret techniques, but they can also grant an extra original secret technique without any side effects, and even save a lot of time.

Therefore, besides venturing into various mysterious forbidden zones or eerie realms for adventure and training, Xia Fa is most interested in participating in grand events like the "Whale Watching Festival".

"Oh right, I also need to find time to absorb the 'Gathering of All Miracles,' I've been so busy lately..."

All the miracles were gathered from the sacred metal that the Wise One sold him, specifically for developing the supreme-level secret contract, "Miracle Fantasy."

However, after leaving the Dream Come True sea train, I inadvertently attended a gathering of the physical beings and ventured into the Ancient Mithril Gate. Before I could even rest properly upon returning, I encountered the fluctuations caused by the impending emergence of [Eternal Critical Strike].

Then, after finally getting a few hours of rest, the old blacksmith shop reappeared and has remained there ever since.

Therefore, I haven't had time to enter my own little world and absorb that "gathering of all miracles" in the best possible state.

"After we finish exploring the family's secret realm, I need to make time to rest. Oh, right, once today is over, I should be able to start exercising tomorrow..."

Previously, in the place where time stood still, in order to kill the Bronze Cleanser, the burning sensation in his heart meridian was almost exhausted.

This makes it difficult to see results from physical exercise, and even breaking the record for pull-ups becomes challenging.

But Xia Fa had already vaguely sensed that the burning sensation in his heart meridian was beginning to return, and he estimated that he would be able to exercise again by tomorrow.

Absorbing the "Gathering of All Miracles," exercising, and mastering the "Rhine Secret Forging Method" passed down from the [Rhine Calamity]... Thinking about it this way, Xia Fa was quite looking forward to tomorrow's rest day arrangements.

Just then, Fernir's voice rang in my ears:

"Master, have you heard of the [Stone of History], the [Ethereal Tumbleweed], and the [Unclaimed Black Bag]?"

Xia Fa was taken aback, and once again felt the lack of certain aspects of his knowledge of the occult.

What is all this nonsense?!

Wait, I think I've heard of "unclaimed black bag" before...

"The unclaimed black bag you mentioned, is it the kind sold in secret trading shops?"

Fernier smiled with considerable flattery:

"Yes, yes, that's it! This is the Starry Sky Dragon Family's favorite game, held every three years. They're very wealthy and buy it directly from the secret trading shop."

Xia Fa clearly remembered that when he was a Fungus-level superhuman, he was recommended the Black Bag by the fat shopkeeper when he first went to the Extraordinary Market on the large island outside Rum City to buy it.

Those were all the pouches from various extraordinary individuals; some were taken after being killed, some were robbed or stolen, and some were lost by accident.

Then, they are sorted according to the total value of the treasures hidden within, and people can choose to buy them.

At the time, the fat boss even boasted that it might contain a top-tier secret contract.

"Of course, besides buying from secret trading shops, those guys also have ways to get their hands on the life-giving bags of veteran transcendent monarchs and even transcendent great monarchs. I've even heard they have life-giving bags from gods, that would be really exciting..."

Fernir whispered, as if he had also been there and could still recall the thrilling scene.

"Does even the gods need to use the black bag?"

Xia Fa was now genuinely tempted; the God's Black Bag... could yield a multitude of valuable items.

Folnier nodded:

"Yes, some of the secret contracts signed by the gods, whether they are overlord-level agreements or eternal certificates, are unrelated to space. In such cases, they need to use the Black Bag. However, they are basically crafted by the gods themselves, and they are not at all on the same level as the Black Bags used by mortals."

Xia Fa said thoughtfully:

"When will the Starry Sky Dragon Clan hold this Unclaimed Black Bag Gathering?"

Folnir smiled and said:

"That will have to wait until next year. Besides, we Gilgamesh family members are never invited, just like our Void Spirit Festival doesn't invite them either."

Xia Fa then revealed a meaningful smile:

"No, they will invite us every time from now on."

Folnier was taken aback:

"Master, you mean..."

However, as soon as he asked the question, he immediately realized that since the head of the family had not explicitly stated it, he should not have asked. So he quickly changed the subject:

"As for our Gilgamesh family, we hold the Spirit Assembly, which is also held every three years, specifically to dismantle the [Spirit Tumbleweed]."

Xia Fa did not hide his lack of knowledge about this aspect of occultism, saying:

"Ethereal Wind Tumbleweed, what is that?"

Fernil laughed:

"It is an extraordinary plant, but one that possesses self-awareness and has developed intelligence. In terms of both racial strength and status, it is far superior to the traveling whale."

“The ethereal tumbleweeds like to roll around in the entire universe and the Protoss Realm, randomly absorbing branches and leaves from other plants onto themselves. In this way, they inevitably absorb all sorts of treasures.”

"Moreover, because the ethereal tumbleweeds have the extraordinary talent of 'ethereal,' they can enter and exit various strange realms and mysterious forbidden zones much more easily than traveling whales. Therefore, the probability of obtaining good treasures after dismantling their tumbleweeds is much greater."

Xia Fa listened with great interest. If Gilgamesh could host the Void Spirit Assembly, he would have a good chance of extracting the sacred metals, divine blood fruits, and ancient fruits he needed!

However, Folnir immediately said:

"But our planet Gilgamesh just held a Void Spirit Conference at the beginning of the year, and the next one won't be until three years later."

Xiafa: ...

Why didn't you say so sooner!

"Then this Stone of History...?"

"The stone of history is an amber-like stone that occasionally falls out from the mist of time. They come in all sizes, from as small as a marble to as large as a mountain."

Fernil patiently explained to Shafa, then continued:

"However, unlike the traveling whale, the unclaimed black bag, and the ethereal tumbleweed, the Stone of History, being amber in shape, allows us to see what treasures are encased within."

Xia Fa asked in surprise:

"Wouldn't that be equivalent to selling it with a price tag?"

Folnir smiled slightly:

"No, that's precisely why the Stone of History is the riskiest but also potentially the most rewarding, because what you see through that amber stone may not actually be the treasure."

He sighed softly, as if he had been fooled by the [Stone of History] before, and continued:

"It's possible that you see a top-tier secret contract inside, but when you cut it open, it's just an ordinary secret contract, or it's possible that you see an ordinary secret contract inside, but when you cut it open, it's a top-tier secret contract."

"In addition, there is the possibility that there is a hegemon-level secret contract inside, but when you cut it open there is nothing, or that you can cut out a hegemon-level secret contract or even sacred metal from a history stone that is empty."

"But ironically, at every amber convention, there are always those who can cut out whatever looks like it from the outside. There are quite a few inexperienced but rich young people who see that there are overlord-level secrets or sacred metals in the historical stones, so they buy them at high prices and cut them out, and they actually do get something out."

Xia Fa listened in stunned silence. He had to admit that what Fernir said was true: the History Stone was definitely the one with the greatest risks and rewards, and at the same time, it was the one that tested people's hearts the most.

Imagine if there were a historical stone in front of you containing "the essence of all miracles," would you buy it or not?

If I don't buy it, and someone else does, and they actually experience the "gathering of all miracles," I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life.

But if you buy it and don't get anything cut out, the emotional rollercoaster is truly unbearable, and people with poor mental fortitude might even fall seriously ill.

Wait a minute, thinking about it this way is actually kind of exciting...

"You're not telling me that the Secret Eye family's Amber Conference won't be held for another year or two, are you?"

Xia Fa asked casually, without much hope.

Unexpectedly, Folnier's eyes flashed, as if he were quite looking forward to it:

"The Secret Eyes family holds the Amber Conference at irregular times. The last one was nine years ago because the History Stones are very difficult to collect."

"The reason they were able to hold this event is because there are several original sources of historical stones on the planet of the Eye of Secrets."

"Based on my analysis and prediction, there is a high probability that the Secret Eye family will hold the Amber Conference this year. If it is not held this year, it will definitely be held next year, because historically, there has never been a gap of more than ten years between two Amber Conferences."

As Xia Fa listened, a strange feeling welled up inside him.

If we really wait until next year to hold it, especially after this time next year, the Gold Cleaners will have all awakened...

If we're really going to hold it, let's do it this year. At least then, the people attending the amber convention can still have a good time in their ignorance.

For example, Forlnir certainly didn't know about the existence of the Cleaners, otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been so excited when the Amber Conference was mentioned.
