I'm not just human!

Meowkor clenched her little fists:

"Me too! Me too! Our catgirl clan has a book that records some treasure troves in the Endless Realm. Master, it is said that some of them contain sacred metals!"

Xia Fa asked curiously:

"But haven't you catgirls always stayed in that giant dome-shaped little world?"

Nyakoru stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite proud.

"This book has been passed down through our entire catgirl clan! Not just the clan led by Granny Meow in the Giant Egg World, but our catgirl clan has lived in the Endless Realm for thousands of years before!"

Xia Fa understood:

"I see..."

Benedict Cumberbatch then said, as if taking credit:

"We've caught so many fish these past few days, all of them supernatural creatures, and we're raising them in a bay. Xia Fa, tonight I'll show off my culinary skills, and we'll have a grilled fish feast!"

Before Xia Fa could even agree, Miao Kelu's mouth was already watering, her little face filled with longing, as if she was already imagining the deliciousness of the grilled fish feast.

Seeing this, Xia Fa could only laugh it off:

"Okay, tonight it is. But you guys go have fun on your own for now, I have to get busy."

Beneath and Meowkor were both very sensible. Although they were very reluctant to part, they obediently entered the jungle on the island.

Xia Fa sat cross-legged on the beach, facing the azure sea. He took out the overlord-level secret contract [Eternal Conditions] from his pouch, took a deep breath, and his expression became solemn.

Next, he plans to quickly advance his understanding of the [Miracle Fantasy], and then sign the [Conditions for Eternity]!

Signing five top-tier secret agreements seems to bring about some unknown and enormous transformation, something Xia Fa is very much looking forward to.

Chapter 325 The Origin Secret Technique of [Miracle Fantasy]! Signing the Fifth Overlord-Level Secret Contract!

My mind was hazy, as if I had entered an endless gray fog.

At this moment, Xia Fa's mind was completely transformed into a glowing sphere, like someone who had dived into the deep sea and was trying to float upwards.

Rising, rising, on the gray, misty sea surface, a dark light was cast down, accompanied by dazzling starlight.

Finally, the luminous sphere that Xia Fa had transformed into broke through the gray fog and arrived at a place that resembled the cosmic starry sky. Beyond the cosmic starry sky was an even more vast and magnificent starry sky.

This is the Astral Spirit and the Astral Spirit Realm.

Now, having signed four overlord-level secret contracts and about to sign a fifth, Xia Fa no longer holds the same awe for the Star Spirit Realm as before.

Because the awe has disappeared, there is a greater sense of curiosity and a desire to explore.

He calmly gazed through his astral body at the boundless astral realm.

The phantom images of planets, or rather, projections of planets from the real world, are scattered throughout the Astral Realm. Countless enormous "Astral Spirits," as large as jellyfish and comparable in size to planets, are floating and wandering among them.

These Protoss are the most common "Star Sea Jellyfish" in the Protoss Realm. Although they have the status of rulers, they only have the instincts and consciousness of beasts and have extremely low intelligence. The extraordinary monarchs who have signed contracts with the Protoss Lords will basically not choose to contract with this kind of Protoss.

On the surface and inside the bodies of the star jellyfish, countless strange and mysterious spirits swam about, colorful and quite lively, like a group of small fish following a giant whale, except that the whale was in the form of a jellyfish.

The appearance of ghosts is often quite strange. Some look like an octopus tentacle with eyes growing from the suckers, curiously looking around. Others look like saplings, using branches as limbs, happily running around on the star sea jellyfish.

As for other ghostly entities, they take the form of organs, eyeballs, limbs, and so on.

The appearance of the spirits was quite magical. Xia Fa immediately spotted a spirit shaped like a glass cup, with a watery eye inside and two lips below it. But it wasn't scary at all; instead, it looked like a sentient being from a fairy tale.

There were also car-shaped Protoss beings, using headlights as eyes, emitting "beep beep" sounds to drive away the sapling-like eerie spirits around them, seemingly annoyed by them.

Suddenly, a sinister white shadow drifted by, and many ghostly spirits and mysterious spirits avoided it, but the Star Sea Jellyfish was not afraid at all.

The white shadow looked exactly like the ghosts circulating in various horror stories on the streets and alleys; it was one of the "evil spirits," known as the Shadow of the Ghost.

In addition, Xia Fa also saw many "miscellaneous spirits". Miscellaneous spirits are the weakest and most easily overlooked beings in the Celestial Spirit Realm, but this often means they are harmless, somewhat like bacteria and small insects in the real world.

Some of these miscellaneous spirits look like a coin, others like a bottle cap, and still others are simply glass marbles. They mostly reside on the bodies of the Star Sea Jellyfish, seeking the protection of these enormous creatures.

Although the Star Sea Jellyfish is not very intelligent, it is still a sovereign being and can still deter evil spirits such as ghostly shadows. These evil spirits often like to prey on weak secret spirits or miscellaneous spirits, but for some reason, they don't prey on ghostly spirits much.

Further beyond the phantom planets and the jellyfish of the starry sea, Xiafa could also vaguely see countless mysterious areas, like mysterious and colorful little worlds embedded in the universe.

Some are magnificent ancient castles, some are storm-swept deserts, and some are like fairy tale kingdoms made of toys.

These mysterious areas are collectively known as the "Star Spirit Ghost Lands," and are said to be the most mysterious places in the entire supernatural world. In the real world, only those mysterious forbidden zones can compare to them.

The Celestial Spirits are mysterious beings. Some were created by gods or Outer Gods, some were transformed from the corpses of unknown beings, and some existed in myths and legends. Some were even suspected to have been born from the spillover of divine power caused by the battle between the True Gods and the Great Old Ones.

Xia Fa's heart was filled with more and more curiosity and longing as he looked at it. Before, he did not dare to go to the Star Spirit Realm without permission. Of course, he still does not dare to go now, and he has never been there even once.

Aside from a Protoss jump when we first set sail from Rum City, which was carried by Captain Redboar's ship, that one didn't really count as a Protoss jump, as I didn't see anything clearly.

Once one becomes a god, one can roam freely in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Although one still cannot defeat beings of Outer God rank, Xia Fa is confident that he can still escape.

As for encountering the Cleaners in the Protoss Realm... well, being extra careful shouldn't be a problem.

Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, Xia Fa's luminous sphere, formed from his mind, flew to the boundary between his mental body and his astral body, and then to one of the overlord-level secret contracts.

Now, the three overlord-level covenants, [Silver Throne], [Gate of Stars], and [Mystic Singularity], are basically in a state of complete fusion, yet they also exist independently, which is quite strange.

Only the [Miracle Fantasy] stands alone, seemingly surrounded by three overlord-level secret contracts, yet also subtly protected, like a monarch within an overlord-level secret contract.

However, the Silver Throne is also located at the center of the secret agreement, giving the impression that it is vying for the core position with the Miracle Fantasy.

Now that his knowledge of the occult has become more extensive, Xia Fa has a vague premonition.

That is, among the other nine hegemon-level secret contracts, [Miracle Fantasy] indeed holds the most unique position, even capable of competing for status with the first hegemon-level secret contract he signed, namely [Silver Throne].

However, the one that truly deserves the titles of "Monarch" and "Emperor" among the supreme-level secret contracts is probably the tenth secret contract—[Primordial Secret Explanation].

After all, the [Primordial Secret Explanation] is a supreme-level secret contract that no one has been able to sign from ancient times to the present, not even the nine great gods.

Perhaps, there's only one like it in the entire universe.

The exalted status and special circumstances of the [Ancient Secret Explanation] are self-evident.

If I were fortunate enough to sign the [Primordial Secret Manual], I fear that once it appeared at the intersection of my mental body and astral body, it would directly occupy the most dominant position, becoming the undisputed emperor among the overlord-level secret contracts.

Xia Fa was also very curious about what incredible or extremely powerful secret abilities the tenth secret contract [Primordial Secret Explanation] would have, or rather, what unimaginable changes it could bring to himself.

Fortunately, the Wise One gave him an "Ancient Capsule." After taking it in a month, he would have the opportunity to participate in the competition for the "Ancient Secrets." Oh wait, if you count the days, there are only twenty-seven days left.

"Twenty-seven days later... If I can snatch [Eternal Critical Strike] in six days, I'll definitely be a god after twenty-seven days. At that time, there shouldn't be many people who can beat me, right?"

The true gods certainly won't try to steal it; they've already signed a hundred copies of their secret covenant, so there's no way they can sign any more.

As for the Outer Gods, that's unclear. However, there are still twenty-seven days left, so Xia Fa isn't in a great hurry.

After calming himself down and not dwelling on it any longer, Xia Fa's gaze swept towards the location of the overlord-level secret contract, 【Miracle Fantasy】.

On the huge secret document, all the cryptic texts had changed from black to a dreamlike color, indicating that he could understand it completely without having to study it.

This is the benefit of receiving the Miracle Assembly after fighting the Bronze Cleanser and praying to the Paradox Joker.

If it were anyone else, even the nine great gods, Xia Fa estimated that it would take them several years, even decades or centuries, to fully comprehend the secret text of the [Miracle Fantasy].

And I will understand it immediately!

Before entering the boundary between the mental body and the astral body, Xia Fa had already eaten a bellyful of jerky made from a supreme-level supernatural creature. Therefore, he immediately began to advance his understanding.

As expected, understanding the "miracle fantasy" was exceptionally easy and smooth, with almost no obstacles.

One percent, two percent, three percent, four percent, five percent, six percent, seven percent, eight percent, nine percent, ten percent, eleven percent, twelve percent... Okay, I'm not going to keep this up... one hundred percent!

The moment he understood, Xia Fa immediately felt the Dominator-level supernatural creature jerky in his stomach being rapidly consumed, and it was gone in an instant.

After the jerky was used up, his extraordinary power began to be consumed and was depleted at an unimaginable speed.

The extraordinary power before him was exhausted, his whole body was drained, and what was about to be depleted was his life force. Just then, this draining stopped.

Immediately afterwards, that familiar feeling of mental storming returned to Xia Fa's mind, and this time it was more intense than ever before.

boom--!

His brain felt like it had been struck hard by a hammer. Almost instantly, he was forced out of his meditative state, and his mind and spirit returned to his body.

In his mind, it was as if a hurricane composed of countless blades was sweeping wildly, relentlessly scraping at the nerves in his head. The feeling of being cut by a knife was amplified tens of thousands of times, violently tormenting Xia Fa.

After mastering the divine battle technique of "Pillar of Mind Storm" from "First History," Xia Fa thought he was already immune to mind storms.

But to his surprise, the pain this time was still beyond his expectations.

With his willpower pushed to the brink of collapse, Xia Fa finally couldn't hold back any longer. He clutched his head and rolled around on the beach, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound of pain.

Just as he was rolling around, suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound, as if his head had crushed an egg of an unknown creature beneath the sand.

The eggshell shattered, and the egg liquid instantly transformed into a refreshing wave of cool sea air and the scent of grass and trees, seeping into his brain.

The intense pain, as if tens of thousands of blades were simultaneously cutting through the brain, was instantly calmed down. A cool sensation spread from the mind to the brainstem, then from the brainstem to the spine, and then from the spine to the entire body.

The pain completely disappeared, and an indescribable sense of comfort washed over his entire body. Covered in sweat, Xia Fa lay sprawled on the beach and let out a long breath.

Just then, a voice that didn't belong to him at all rang in his mind.

"It is reasonable that someone with a mere human body would try to advance to 100% understanding of the [Miracle Fantasy] in order to master the original secret technique, and almost couldn't withstand it."

"It's understandable that they would writhe on the ground in pain because they couldn't bear it."

"And since the rolling sand is derived from a small world extracted from reality, it is possible that it contains eggs laid by the 'Healing Tree Turtle'."

"So, it's entirely possible that while it was rolling around, its head accidentally crushed the eggs laid by the Divine Healing Tree Turtle."

"In this situation, the brain absorbed the egg liquid and gained the strongest healing power below the level of a true god in the entire universe, thus receiving treatment. It can be considered a barely plausible coincidence."

Who? Who's speaking?

The voice sounded very much like his own, yet it carried a sense of detachment and sanctity, which immediately put Xiafa on alert.

Moreover, how could this voice know that I had signed the "Miracle Fantasy" and that I had just completed the understanding progress of the "Miracle Fantasy"?

"Wait, something's not right..."

This is my own little world, and I can immediately sense anything that sneaks in.

Besides, it's completely illogical that such a private matter as advancing the understanding of the secret contract could be known so clearly, and that the voice even knew that he was suffering greatly from a mental storm caused by his attempt to obtain the original secret technique... This is obviously too unreasonable.

Therefore, the only explanation is...

"Is this the effect of the original secret technique of [Miracle Fantasy]?"

The thought had just surfaced in my mind when, as the mental storm subsided, a string of knowledge emerged in a form that I could understand.
