I'm not just human!

Xia Fa seemed to be deep in thought, and nodded slightly, already having a general plan in mind.

That is, we still need to absorb and contain the [Eternal Critical Strike]. As for the [Eternal Secret], we'll immediately start researching how to use it!

"Aha--"

Dick Tudor suddenly yawned widely, and Shafa noticed that His face had turned somewhat pale.

It seems that He did not influence the Crimson Tree with "eternal plunder" without paying any price, as He claimed.

After all, the Crimson Tree is a veteran Outer God, and it's possible that it has signed a hundred secret contracts.

"That's all for today. Let's get together again next time we have time. I also need to figure out how to survive when the Gold Cleaners collectively awaken a year from now, haha."

Dick chuckled dryly twice, but a hint of desolation still lingered in his eyes.

Clearly, having just become a god and not even had time to enjoy it, they would face an almost insurmountable catastrophe of extinction a year later. No one would feel good in that situation.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa paused for a moment, then stood up, but left behind a black bag.

"These are some exceptional wines I received as gifts at the family banquet. I saved them especially for you, so please don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Dick Tudor finally smiled again:

"You kid..."

……

Squeak!

The flimsy wooden door was pushed open, and after nearly a month, Xia Fa returned once again to his two-story attic on Daniel Street.

In order not to disturb the neighbors, he returned in stealth mode, and directly blocked the senses of the surrounding pedestrians, so that they would not be able to detect that the door had been opened.

Looking at the dusty room, Xia Fa shook his head slightly, but didn't pay much attention and went straight up to the bedroom on the second floor.

After casually brushing the dust off the bed, Xia Fa was about to lie down for a while to rest before entering his own little world to begin researching the [Eternal Secret].

Oh right, I also need to absorb that fist-sized [Gathering of All Miracles], and while I'm at it, study the critical secondary runaway and the Rhine Secret Forging Method.

After what happened today, his already urgent desire to improve his strength at all costs intensified.

Fortunately, there are enough methods, and each one will bring huge improvements.

But just as Xia Fa lay down on the bed, he clearly saw—

On the convex glass directly in front, a pair of eyes without eyelids or eyelashes appeared.

Those eyes were strangely double pupils, staring straight at him.

An extremely dangerous and eerie aura suddenly swept over!

Chapter 342 Conversation with an Unknown Quasi-Celestial Being, the Origin of the Extraordinary…

In that instant, countless strange electric currents surged forth from the spine, their sheer number like a vast ocean, roaring and rumbling.

Moreover, this time, the strange current not only covered the cerebral cortex, but also penetrated all parts of the body... bones, muscles, organs, blood vessels, blood, and even the skin!

Just a moment before the strange electric current emerged, the instant he saw those double pupils, Xia Fa's mind suddenly went dazed for a moment, as if he had been greatly shocked, and even showed signs of completely losing control.

Fortunately, the strange electric current subsided in an instant.

Otherwise, the only option is to get down on the ground immediately, stand up and sit down, and use the ability to randomly freeload a meal to escape this place.

But if they did that, the secret about their disguised identity as a "glutton" would be immediately exposed.

An unprecedented sense of vigilance arose within Xia Fa, who still chose to get out of bed and look warily into those double pupils.

Immediately, a clear and ethereal voice rang out, as melodious as a lark, yet with a strange metallic scraping sensation.

"You...can you see me?"

Without a doubt, the sound came from those double pupils, but it was so faint and elusive that it could not be found.

Xia Fa thought for a moment, then spoke with considerable caution:

"Sir...is there anything I can help you with?"

In that ethereal voice, tinged with surprise, those double pupils were now filled with disbelief.

"You could see me after all. You're not simple, truly extraordinary. As expected of..."

It paused slightly before continuing:

"...the third Holy Spirit of Destiny in history."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa immediately realized that he had overlooked something.

After his outward identity as the Holy Spirit of Destiny was exposed, he could avoid being discovered as the true identity of having signed five overlord-level secret contracts, thus escaping the pursuit of the fake Nine Great Gods and the Golden Cleansers.

However, the identity of the Holy Spirit of Destiny is highly sought after. Countless unknown beings from beyond the gods and of equal status in the Star Spirit Realm might set their sights on him because of this!

Fortunately, he's currently in the real world. As long as he doesn't go to the Protoss Realm, is careful in his daily life, and masters the authority of the [Eternal Secret], he should be fine.

After all, at least on the surface, these unknown beings from beyond the gods and of equal rank still dare not easily enter the real world.

Previously, the fear was that the nine righteous gods would directly eliminate those who dared to enter the real world. Now, however, it's the cleaners who might object.

The Cleaners are here to cleanse all beings in the universe and the Astral Realm who are associated with supernatural powers. If these beings, from gods and above, were to enter the real world at will and cause pollution, it would certainly add considerable trouble to the Cleaners.

Thinking of this, Xia Fa calmed down a bit, but he didn't dare to let his guard down for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"So, what exactly do you want from me?"

The voice from those double-pupiled eyes suddenly sounded like a soft laugh:

"Don't be nervous, handsome. How about we talk first?"

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

The moment it finished speaking, countless identical double pupils opened their eyes in the bedroom of this two-story attic, all looking at Xia Fa.

All the double pupils were in pairs, staring straight at Xia Fa without moving around, yet they seemed lifeless, like the lifeless eyes of a dead person.

The surrounding air instantly turned into a dark purple, like the starry sky. It should have been quite tranquil, but with those eyes, it became extremely eerie.

That ethereal voice rang out once again, but this time, it seemed to emanate from all the double pupils, overlapping and extremely eerie.

"Alright, now we can talk in the real world without worry—"

Buzz!

Before the ethereal voice had even faded, the sound of bumblebees flapping their wings arose around Xia Fa, and then countless flowers, grasses, and trees immediately sprouted around him, forming a circle around him.

Xia Fa felt the immense pressure of losing control disappear, and the strange currents throughout his body retreated back to his coccyx, leaving only the strange currents in his cerebral cortex.

The next moment, a familiar aura emanated from the void, and a bumblebee-like natural bee flew out and immediately protected Xia Fa.

"The Source Lord of the Eye of the Mist? What are you going to do?"

The Bee of Nature roared, adopting a desperate stance, seemingly determined to protect its master to the death.

Xia Fa was taken aback, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

A few days ago, before entering the Old Forge, he ordered the Nature Bee to venture into the Protoss Realm on its own and not to return.

This meant there might be unknown dangers in the old forge, and Xia Fa didn't want to involve the Nature Bee. Of course, this was also because the Nature Bee, at that time, was only close to the level of a ruler and couldn't really do anything.

Secondly, the Nature Bee seems to really enjoy wandering and adventuring in the Protoss Realm, as if it were born to be there, so Shafa just lets it be.

However, Xia Fa did not expect that after not seeing it for many days, this natural bee had grown to a level that others could not fathom, just like himself.

If it weren't for the soul imprint of the Nature Bee on him, he wouldn't even be able to discern the Nature Bee's status.

"Hmm... he's almost reached the point of signing twenty secret contracts with this veteran transcendent monarch?"

As expected of a child form, its growth is truly rapid... Xia Fa thought with considerable surprise and delight.

At the same time, he also realized that his pet seemed to know a lot of things that he didn't know.

For example, this "Eye of the Mist".

Also, what is the Source Master?

The double pupils paused slightly. Although there were double pupils everywhere in the air, only one of them was full of life, like a mischievous and lively girl. Therefore, Xia Fa could also distinguish it.

"You are... the recently famous Nature's Bee? What is your relationship with this Mr. Xia Fa?"

The bee of nature answered without hesitation:

"This is my master!"

Those double-pupiled eyes were even more surprised, and they looked at Xia Fa again. Hundreds of lifeless eyes in the air also turned to look at Xia Fa, and the ethereal voices rang out in unison once more:

“Interesting, very interesting, Xia Fa. I’m becoming more and more interested in you. Even this famous young natural bee is your pet.”

"Ahem." Xia Fa coughed lightly twice before saying, "Tell me, could you explain to me what's going on right now? And who is the Source Master of the Eye of the Mist?"

The Nature Bee seemed very wary of those double-pupiled eyes, and moved even closer to Xia Fa, as if it would protect its master no matter what, before finally speaking:

"Master, the Eye of the Mist is one of the many unknown entities in the Protoss Realm. As for the Source Master of the Eye of the Mist... it is essentially the leader of this unknown entity, and its strength is generally..."

After a brief pause, the Nature Bee cautiously provided the most crucial information:

"...Quasi-Celestial Venerable level."

Quasi-Celestial Venerable level?

Xia Fa was suddenly jolted, finally understanding why he had almost lost control on the spot and triggered the largest surge and reaction of the strange current in his spine and tailbone in history when the double pupils appeared for only a moment.

Quasi-Celestial Venerable level... isn't that the same strength as the physical entity I disguised as, "Gluttony"?

That's enough to scare away three Silver Cleaners who were leading three hundred Bronze Cleaners!

Strangely, even though he had seen those incomparably powerful beings with the Heavenly Venerable rank, such as the Wise One, the young miner, and so on, he couldn't judge the strength of these dual-pupil eyes by comparison.

These double pupils seemed to conceal all their aura, making them impossible to perceive. A slight probe with one's spiritual intuition was like entering a thick fog.

"Wait a minute, the Nature Bee only has the strength of a veteran transcendent monarch, how dare it go head-to-head with an unknown being at the quasi-celestial level?"

Xia Fa suddenly thought of this and became quite worried.

If we anger the Source Lord of the Eye of the Mist, things could get really bad.

Fortunately, he could summon the Nature Bee back to the skin under his shoulder with a single thought. At worst, he could simply sit on the bed and teleport away with the Nature Bee.

Just then, that ethereal voice rang out again, tinged with displeasure:
