I'm not just human!

Fortunately, the Wall of Flesh cut off his own flesh to survive, leaving behind a body the size of a house. Even now, he has only used less than one-fifth of it, and there is still a lot left in his stomach and second heart.

"Wait, could it be because..."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xia Fa, and he realized the real problem.

Since, according to orthodox cultivation methods, it takes at least a thousand attempts to go from the first critical loss of control to the second critical loss of control, could it be that... I haven't used it enough times?

Or, if one wants to cultivate to the point of being on the verge of secondary loss of control, one must at least become a subordinate god among the gods.

Just like when I had completely understood the [Miracle Fantasy] before, it was because my level was too low that when I mastered its original secret technique [Coincidence Paper], I couldn't handle it and almost had my head explode.

“I remember my great-grandfather telling me that He is the only being below God who is still alive in the real world to have reached the critical second loss of control. This is one of the reasons why Patriarch Osius and Pope Hercules respected Him so much.”

"And my current status is no lower than that of my great-grandfather..."

"Wait, He also seemed to have said that when He first reached the critical point of losing control twice, it was apparently a complete coincidence, just like with Ruscond."

"It seems that when He had already reached the critical point of cultivation and was about to lose control for the second time, He accidentally came into contact with the blood of an Outer God while traveling in the Star Spirit Realm. He almost lost control, but he managed to survive and unexpectedly succeeded in cultivation."

"And that Outer God himself seems to have reached the point of being on the verge of losing control three times..."

With this in mind, Xia Fa finally made up his mind.

Aside from extremely rare coincidences, this critical second loss of control can only be achieved by cultivating to a level above godhood.

But, should we just give up like this?

Xiafa lay on the beach, letting the cracks and wounds on his body slowly heal, his mind constantly wandering.

Finally, he came up with another new idea.

Suddenly, he stood up, put his hands together, and formed a circle.

With a "boom," a burning sensation, as intense as a transparent, colorless flame, appeared between his palms, transforming into a leaping, undulating firework.

Immediately afterwards, a jet-black aura, like oil, appeared in his palm and merged into the colorless and transparent flames.

Countless tentacles and rolling eyes suddenly sprouted from the fireworks. If an ordinary person were to see this scene, they would probably lose their mind and become out of control on the spot.

Then, a glass sphere filled with gray smoke appeared, and with a slight tremor, it absorbed the colorless, transparent flames covered with tentacles and eyeballs.

With a soft cracking sound like glass shattering, a very fine crack appeared on the surface of the glass ball.

Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat, but he chose to remain calm and simultaneously channeled a large amount of extraordinary power towards the crack.

This is one of the lessons he learned from tens of thousands of failures: if the crack is not repaired, the subsequent fusion will inevitably lead to the glass ball breaking.

Taking a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart, streams of mercury flowed from Xia Fa's palm. The mercury seemed to have been ignited, and as soon as it appeared, it brought with it a large amount of mercury vapor, almost engulfing his entire body.

Immediately, the ignited mercury covered the surface of the glass ball and then seeped in.

Without the slightest delay, a dazzling silver holy spear materialized above Xia Fa's head, its intense, sun-like silver light flashing. The beach, which was in broad daylight, became even brighter because of the appearance of this silver holy spear.

Suddenly, the silver holy spear disintegrated, turning into an area at Xiafa's feet that seemed to be filled with silver light. It was clearly light, yet it had the texture of flowing mercury.

Immediately afterwards, with a thought from Xia Fa, the area of ​​silver light rose up and poured into the glass sphere.

The glass ball shuddered violently, transforming into a form incomprehensible to ordinary people. Gray mist intertwined, mercury burned, flames rose, silver light leaped, and tentacles danced wildly... It was utterly chaotic.

Immediately, small bubbles appeared on the surface of the glass ball. Within seconds, more and more bubbles appeared, and it looked like it was about to explode completely.

Xia Fa had experienced this situation dozens of times, and this was already the best result out of tens of thousands of failures. He had never been able to get to this point before.

However, at the same time, this situation is exactly the same as his previous dozens of failures, with no significant difference.

But this time, things will be completely different.

With a thought, Xia Fa noticed a black glass sphere fall from his body and land on his shoulder.

Without hesitation, he immediately invoked the authority of [Eternal Secret]!

This time, his hidden goal was completely different.

It wasn't the beach, the sea, or even oneself, but rather the last trace of instability and failure that occurred when the cultivation threshold was breached for the second time!

This was a method that Xia Fa had come up with before, which might work, and it was also an extremely bold attempt.

If it succeeds, then there's nothing to say; but even if it fails, we can always find other methods.

Suddenly, one of the small bubbles that had risen on the glass ball in his palm, which contained a variety of interwoven images, shrank back into itself.

Then came the second, the third...

Almost instantly, all the tiny bubbles shrank back, and the glass ball returned to its perfectly round, lustrous, and pristine state.

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, the glass ball suddenly shattered, but this time, unlike before, it did not immediately bring about a huge backlash after shattering.

The shattering of the glass ball transformed into intertwined streams of crystalline light, a magnificent dark gold color, which swirled and spun before instantly entering Xia Fa's brow.

Xia Fa trembled violently, his pupils dilated, but he did not show any pain. Instead, he seemed to be in a state of profound enlightenment.

After a long while, a very strange smile appeared on his face.

"So that's how it is..."

……

Xiafa had never slept so soundly.

He didn't even dream for an entire evening and night.

When he woke up, the sunlight was blinding, and it was already... well... you couldn't tell what time it was just by looking at the sunlight, because he had been sleeping in the small world.

Yesterday, after just reaching the critical second loss of control in his cultivation, he was exhausted in spirit, physical strength, and extraordinary power, and immediately collapsed on the beach and fell asleep.

I don't know how many hours have passed before I finally woke up.

Just as he was about to turn over and stay in bed a little longer, Xia Fa immediately saw two pairs of big, beautiful eyes staring at him.

Those were Benedict's golden-red eyes and Meow's open-air blue pupils.

Xia Fa was startled and almost bounced off the beach.

"What are you two doing?"

Beneath and Meowkor exchanged a glance, both of them showing expressions of complete relief.

"Master, we couldn't wake you up no matter how hard we called you, it scared us to death! Luckily, your breathing was steady the whole time, and you're finally awake now."

Miao Kelu spoke with considerable worry, yet her fair face couldn't hide her joy, and even her golden cat ears twitched.

Clearly, she was quite happy to see her master wake up.

Beneath pursed her lips and asked rather cautiously:

"Xia Fa, are you...are you alright?"

Xia Fa smiled and waved his hand:

"It's nothing, I just overdid it with my cultivation yesterday. By the way, you two, are you finally sober?"

Seeing Xia Fa's relaxed appearance, Benedict finally felt relieved. However, upon hearing this, she became embarrassed, shrank her neck, and blushed.

Originally, her plan the day before yesterday was to get Xia Fa drunk so that he could rest for a day or two in this small world, since he seemed to be under too much pressure.

Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to get Xia Fa drunk, she and Miao Kelu were drunk for two days and two nights. The power of that extraordinary wine was truly remarkable.

"Hmm... I sobered up around six o'clock this morning. Let's not talk about that. Come on, let's have breakfast!"

Benedict pulled up Shafa, who was lying on the beach, and pointed into the island's jungle.

In a clearing surrounded by palm and coconut trees, there was an oak round table with a copper pot on it, surrounded by plates of various kinds of meat.

There is mutton, fish, beef, and even tofu and ham, among other things.

The copper pot contained only scallions, ginger, and garlic, with boiling water bubbling and steaming.

Xia Fa was taken aback... hot pot?

Wait, is this the kind of food that should exist in this world?

Beneath chuckled and scratched the back of her head, saying:

"I don't know if this way of cooking will taste good. This is a method that our Doll Girl clan learned from the 'Fire Fruit Clan,' a demi-human race on Planet Ared. Fortunately, there are plenty of ingredients on this island, so I gave it a try."

Ared Star...Fire Fruit Clan...

I haven't heard much about this Xiafa, I only know that Areid Star is the location of the strongest righteous god's [absolute defense] earthly divine kingdom.

However, there are countless demi-human races in the universe, so it's normal that you haven't heard of this particular demi-human race.

Hmm... Fire Fruit Clan... That's a nice name, but I wonder what they look like.

After simply condensing a water sphere to wash themselves, Xia Fa, Benes, and Miao Kelu sat down at the oak round table.

It has to be said that the extraordinary world is indeed convenient. There is no need to put a stove under this oak round table, because the copper pot is made of an extraordinary metal that can continuously generate heat, called "fire copper", which can keep the temperature at around 100 degrees Celsius.

Whether it's beef, mutton, or fish, everything is sliced ​​extremely thin by Benedict's skillful hands, and it only takes a few seconds to cook in the bubbling copper pot.

In addition, the fried chili peppers carefully prepared by Benedict, served with a dipping sauce of sesame and peanut sauce, actually gave Xia Fa a feeling of returning to her hometown.

After indulging in a hearty meal, Xia Fa felt that all the energy and spirit he had exhausted yesterday in his cultivation of the critical second loss of control had been restored to their peak.

It has to be said that this is all thanks to Benny.

Watching Benedictine busily tidying up the table, Shafa didn't say anything, but decided in his heart that he must bring back some very high-end supernatural dried fish for her during this trip to the Celestial Spirit Realm!

He didn't choose to drink because he was about to go to the Protoss Realm and needed to keep his mind clear at all times, without allowing any sluggishness in his thinking.

Although I was only sending "tree puppets" over, it was still better to be cautious at this time.

"Master, Master, are you there?"

Suddenly, in my spiritual intuition, I heard the slightly fawning and ingratiating voice of the bee of nature.

This kind of flattery and ingratiation comes entirely from the heart, and instead of appearing cunning or deceitful, it makes it even more endearing.

However, the way this question starts with "Are you there?"...

If it weren't for the fact that this world truly lacks the internet and chat groups, Xia Fa would have suspected that [Paradox Joker], [Dick Push], and the Nature Bee might actually be part of the same group...

"Yes, what's this? The Conference of Unknown Beings is about to begin?"

"Yes, Master, shall we set off now? Or..."

"Okay, wait a moment."
