I'm not just human!

This was true of my great-grandfather, Pope Hercules, Patriarch Osius, and even Thorloki and Fornir.

As for the guests present, several hundred of them possessed a strong aura, and they were like that, while the others mostly showed expressions of bewilderment or fear.

"Damn it, Sharatul, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Patriarch Heimdall suddenly spoke, his face showing an expression of "the plan has failed again." Moreover, his whole body flashed with light, and he transformed into the appearance of a young man, who looked only slightly older than Shafa.

His attire also changed from the initial tuxedo and later black armor to a rather casual denim outfit.

He now wore a cowboy hat, a leather whip at his waist, and a frivolous glint played on his sharply defined, handsome face.

Patriarch Heimdall, now a young man, shook his head, his face full of regret.

"Sigh, all that acting for nothing. I thought I could make you guys laugh."

Immediately, His figure blurred and transformed into starlight with dark light, directly arriving on the stone platform and appearing beside Xia Fa.

Patriarch Heimdall, without any hesitation, casually put his arm around Shafa's shoulder. His gaze suddenly sharpened, becoming piercing and domineering as he swept his eyes across the entire arena, revealing the aura of the Mystic Emperor.

"Since Brother Xiafa is Xia Latu's great-grandson, then I'll put this out there for you all: from now on, anyone who offends Xiafa is essentially offending me, understand?"

But suddenly, He smiled, revealing a kind expression—a true transformation within a transformation.

"Of course, I believe that you are all friends of my Supreme Church. If we all get along well, we will make money. Why would we have any conflicts or disputes? That would be bad for doing business, wouldn't you all agree?"

Faced with this patriarch of the Supreme Church, who was suspected to be the big boss behind the Gold Miners' Guild, what could the important figures present do but nod like chickens pecking at rice?

Only a few beings who were also suspected to be extraordinary monarchs or even secret emperors shook their heads helplessly, seemingly unable to bear the patriarch's appearance.

The voice of his great-grandfather, Sharatu, rang in Xiafa's ears through spiritual intuition:

“Shafa, get used to it. Heimdall is just like this. He always likes to pretend to be all sorts of people and try to fool everyone. I was on guard against Him this time, but I didn’t expect Him to come in his original form and put on such a show…”

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised:

"This……"

Emperor Shalatu said helplessly:

"Actually, in crucial moments, He is still reliable. He has helped our Gilgamesh family several times before. After all, He is a mysterious emperor... Anyway, that's how people in the Supreme Church are. Maybe it's because they have too many rules to follow in normal times, and they believe in the righteous God, the Supreme Law, so they seem particularly unconventional when they go out..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa felt both amused and exasperated.

Moreover, he then realized that he had misunderstood from the beginning.

If Patriarch Heimdall really came to cause trouble, why would he offer such a generous gift as 100 million pounds?

Among them are three Eternal Vortex Silicon-Aluminum, which are required for their own [Conditions of Eternity]. Considering the extreme scarcity and preciousness of sacred metals, they are quite good.

"No wonder our great-grandfathers showed such strange expressions when they heard Patriarch Heimdall's name; now I know why..."

Unfortunately, Patriarch Heimdall is a Mystic Emperor, a being far stronger than even the High Overlords, so everyone has no choice but to cooperate with Him...

This little incident did not affect the atmosphere of the patriarch's banquet, because many guests were already familiar with Patriarch Heimdall's style of doing things, only the young people were unaware of it. Therefore, it actually made the patriarch's banquet even more lively and bustling.

In particular, Patriarch Heimdall is one of the few mysterious emperors among the patriarchs, popes, and emperors of the nine major churches.

His arrival undoubtedly added to the grandeur of the Gilgamesh family's banquet, truly making it a magnificent occasion.

After exchanging pleasantries, the patriarchs, popes, and holy emperors, led by Holy Emperor Chalatu, took their seats at a table at the very front of the stone platform.

This table initially had only five people seated, even though all the surrounding tables were full.

Xia Fa didn't recognize any of these five people, but he could clearly sense their auras.

Among them, three are extraordinary monarchs, one is a secret emperor who has signed twenty-five secret contracts, and the other is a secret emperor!

These five are not the patriarchs, popes, or emperors of the nine major churches, but they are undoubtedly the strongest in the real world.

Therefore, the table, which could seat ten people, was not full because the others were not qualified to sit at the same table with them; they were not strong enough.

Only when Pope Hercules, Patriarch Osius, or Patriarch Heimdall arrived were they qualified to sit there.

Seeing the three of them sit down, the Mystic Emperor, dressed as an adventurer, immediately began to tease them:

"Heimdall, your acting skills are getting better and better. I almost believed it just now."

Another extraordinary lord, who appeared to be in his fifties and was dressed as a general even when he came to eat, also joked:

"Yes, that's right. If I hadn't read about the White Wolf King, I almost would have believed it."

Upon hearing the words "White Wolf King," Xia Fa suddenly understood why the scene with Patriarch Heimdall had felt so familiar to him.

The White Wolf King is a drama that is particularly popular throughout the universe. It tells the story of a white wolf born among gray wolves. His father, the wolf king, was killed by his uncle, and he himself was left to wander outside. In the end, he returned to the wolf clan and reclaimed the wolf king.

This white wolf king looks a lot like someone from an animated movie from before I transmigrated...

Patriarch Heimdall remained completely unfazed by the teasing, instead laughing heartily.

"Everyone, long time no see. By the way, where's Dick Tudor? He didn't even show up for such a big event?"

Upon hearing the name Dikto, Xiafa was suddenly taken aback.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Dick Tudor in a long time, and I have no idea what He's doing, or why He sealed Himself inside the belly of the traveling whale...

"As expected, the strongest people in the real world basically all know each other..."

Xia Fa didn't think much of it, because at this moment, after greeting the most important guests at that table, his great-grandfather Xia Latu walked back to the stone platform.

Xia Fa knew that the most important moment for him was about to arrive.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's about to truly assume the position of family head, but rather... his outward identity as the Holy Spirit of Destiny is about to be exposed!

Once exposed, tens of thousands of important figures from across the universe will hear it firsthand, and then spread it back... This shared understanding will prevent the fake Nine Great Gods and the Golden Cleanser from predicting their fate for the time being.

Emperor Sharatu's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes reddened. Clearly, he had waited far too long for this moment.

Even He had never dared to hope for this moment, yet it had actually come, like a gift from heaven, a stroke of luck that brought joy to the entire Gilgamesh family.

"I'm sure you're all wondering why my great-grandson, who looks to be only in his twenties, is able to serve as the head of my Gilgamesh family."

Emperor Sharatu spoke loudly, but once he addressed the guests, he became calm and composed.

The guests all looked over, their faces filled with undisguised curiosity.

Yes, with Xia Fa being so young, even if he signed twenty-five secret contracts, he is not qualified to be the head of a family favored by the gods!

To exaggerate a bit, even if he possesses a kind of "eternal certificate," at most he's just like Norton Dragon, the young master of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan, and Airo Tong, the young master of the Secret Eye Clan—he can only wait to become the young master.

Those two, while strong enough to become family heads, lack sufficient experience.

Patriarch Heimdall then realized what was happening and looked at Pope Hercules and Patriarch Osius with strange expressions:

“If Sharatul hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have realized it. Why did you two both choose to support that little Shafa? You weren’t this enthusiastic when Thor Loki became the young master.”

Patriarch Heimdall chose to support Shaphat without hesitation because of his sense of justice; after all, he supported any descendant of Shaphat.

Last time, when Sol Loki was the young master, although He was absent due to other matters, He later expressed His support for Sol Loki.

Therefore, seeing that even the cunning Osius and the arrogant Hercules, who looked down on everyone, had chosen to support Shaphat, He asked this question.

Patriarch Osius did not answer; he was by nature a serious and mature man, and simply could not get along with Heimdall.

Or rather, if they are truly in danger, they can entrust their backs to each other, but they really can't talk to each other much in ordinary times.

Hercules, however, seemed intent on teasing Heimdall, deliberately displaying a mysterious smile:

"Don't ask about that, it's confidential."

Heimdall immediately became agitated. Normally, when doing business or facing enemies, no amount of provocation would work on him, but in front of his old friend, he couldn't stand this:

"Tell me quickly, stop keeping me in suspense. Here's what we'll do: next time we encounter a God-level Ghost Realm, I'll take you there, okay?"

Hercules remained unmoved, and his expression was filled with smug satisfaction at having piqued Heimdall's interest:

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said, hahaha."

Of course, Hercules' thoughts were simple. First, it seemed that Osius was about to reveal the identity of the Shaphae, the Secret Emperor, so He deliberately teased Heimdall. Second, if Osius did not reveal it, He would still try to recruit Shaphae.

This doesn't count as poaching. The Absolute Church has a secret organization. When Rashafa enters, he can still have an audience with the Absolute Defense, and he won't need to change his faith.

There's no way around it; the supreme combination of the Silver Throne and the Gate of Stars is just too tempting. Such a rare talent is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. If we don't try to win him over, we'd be doing ourselves a disservice, and even more so, a disservice to the righteous god we worship.

But at that moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Emperor Sharatu on the stage suddenly uttered a sentence that no one could have expected.

"I won't hide this from you all anymore. My great-grandson, Shaphat Gilgamesh..."

He paused briefly, took a deep breath, and his expression was filled with pride and self-satisfaction—pride in the Gilgamesh family bloodline and pride in Shaphat.

"...He is the third Divine Spirit in the entire history of the universe!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Before anyone could react, some even doubting whether they had misheard, a very unfriendly voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

"Oh? The Holy Spirit of Destiny? I don't believe it at all, Sharatu."

Although the voice was unfamiliar to everyone, they all shared the same guess.

Could it be... that the Starry Sky Dragon Clan has come looking for trouble?

Chapter 334 Xia Fa VS Crimson Agent, the Eternal Certificate is Obtained! (Part 1)

"Who?"

Shafa frowned slightly. This time, unlike when Patriarch Heimdall tried to liven things up, he could tell that the visitors this time were not friendly.

Emperor Sharatul frowned as well, the grandfather and grandson moving in almost unison. He murmured something under his breath:

"How could it be Him? Our Gilgamesh family doesn't seem to have any connection with Him..."

Upon hearing his great-grandfather's words, Xia Fa immediately realized that this was probably someone his great-grandfather knew.

So, who could it be?

In front of the stone platform paved with gold bricks, beside the most prestigious table, Patriarch Heimdall stood up almost instantly, looking at the entrance of the hall with a gloomy expression.

Pope Hercules also very noticeably turned his imposing body, looking towards the doorway, while his right hand quietly clasped together.

Those familiar with Him know that He is about to use the divine battle tactic He learned from Absolute Defense: Conquest Stance.

As for Patriarch Osius, he seemed to be making no move, but in reality, the spatial power above the hall had begun to flow erratically, and starlight was faintly appearing.

Clearly, the person coming is here to cause trouble, and given his status as a signatory to the Gate of Stars, he will likely be the first and fastest to make a move.

All three have made their stance clear: they are fully committed to supporting Xia Fa and are just waiting for the guy who dares to challenge them to appear.
