I'm not just human!

After yesterday afternoon, Xia Fa entered the small world to cultivate and improve his strength, while the Nature Bee went to the Star Spirit Realm to continue his travels and adventures.

Therefore, it is still in the Celestial Spirit Realm, but it is connected to Shafa through a soul contract.

Xia Fa was about to get up and say a brief goodbye to Benes and Miao Kelu. In the next few days, there would be an unknown conference and the birth of [Eternal Critical Strike]. He needed to make arrangements in advance and would probably be very busy. He probably wouldn't see them for several days.

Unexpectedly, before she could even speak, Meowkor and Benedict ran up to Shafa together.

"Master, Master, Sister Beneath and I have rested enough and made plans. We're ready to venture into the Endless Realm again!"

"Yes! Shafa, do you still need sacred metals like pure white light-seeking crystal silver? We'll bring you back more, hehe~"

Seeing that the two looked well-prepared and determined, and considering that it was indeed safer for them to stay in the Endless Realm, Xia Fa couldn't help but smile:

"Well, I want all of them, whether it's pure white light-seeking crystal silver or any other sacred metal. However, there's one condition you must abide by, otherwise I won't let you two go."

"what? What?"

Beneath and Meowkor both leaned their little heads closer, their clear, beautiful eyes wide open, listening intently and waiting for Shafa's next words.

Xia Fa adopted a serious expression and solemnly instructed:

"If you encounter any danger, come back immediately, even if there is a large piece of sacred metal in front of you, you must come back immediately, understand?"

Seeing Xia Fa's serious expression, the two girls, one big and one small, nodded blankly, seemingly having truly taken it to heart.

Xia Fa then smiled:

"Alright, you can set off now."

Soon, as Benedict summoned a castle-like arched gate, the wooden pony that Shafa hadn't seen in a long time once again came riding on a rainbow from the horizon.

However, this time it carried Benedict and Meowkor, clattering as it ran into the castle gate.

The castle gates immediately closed and disappeared into thin air, vanishing without a trace.

Xia Fa boldly tried to use his spiritual intuition to follow the trail, but was surprised to find that he could not find a trace at all.

"As expected, the legends are true. Only the puppet girls can enter the Endless Realm or bring others in using their extraordinary talents, and each puppet queen has the ability to prevent those with ill intentions from entering..."

In a sense, the Endless Domain, as a cluster of civilizations and a mysterious domain, is not only naturally able to isolate itself from divination and prying by all kinds of beings, but it is also safe enough even in this era when the Cleaners have appeared.

Fortunately, when I went to the Old Forge, I didn't let Beneath me or Meowkor follow me, so I wasn't afraid that the fake Nine Gods or the Golden Cleansers would divine my fate.

Therefore, Xia Fa is quite at ease for the time being.

Of course, it would be truly reassuring if there weren't fake Nine True Gods and Golden Cleaners...

After calming himself down, Xia Fa, who was in the island jungle, made a grasping motion with one hand towards the open space in front of him without thinking too much.

With a thud, a ripe coconut fell to the ground, and immediately, roots sprouted wildly, taking root in the fertile rainforest soil below.

In an instant, the coconut grew into a coconut tree more than two meters tall, and then it grew limbs. A new coconut fruit grew on the top of the tree, which was not tall. After a transformation, two eyeballs bulged out and a mouth split open, revealing the appearance of Xia Fa.

This is one of the abilities of the divine battle technique [Tree Realm]: Tree Puppet.

Unlike ordinary puppets, he can separate a wisp of his mental body and merge it into the treant puppet, achieving a lifelike effect within the same grid.

Of course, the Treant Golem's attack power is severely lacking; its only advantage lies in its ability to disguise itself as its true form.

Xia Fa even speculated that this might be because the [Nature Monarch] was almost the weakest among the nine great gods. Having been hunted down by the Great Old Ones for so long, it gained experience from the hunt, and thus developed the divine combat technique [Tree Realm], which gave it such power.

After slightly altering the treant puppet's height and appearance, Xia Fa nodded slightly.

Immediately, he constructed a red-silver star shell and star bubble around his body, sprinkled a large amount of shadow gold powder, and then used [Eternal Concealment] to completely conceal his body and the entire star bubble.

Having done all this, Xia Fa's mind then manipulated the treant puppet, opened the vine gate, and stepped out of the small world.

Outside the vine-covered door was the bathroom of the family's two-story attic in Rum City. The Nature Bee was waiting for it nearby, its plump, bumblebee-like body suspended in the air, its translucent little wings constantly flapping.

"Hey, Master, this treant puppet of yours is something else. Even I couldn't tell it apart without the soul bond!"

The bee of nature was quite surprised, staring with its pair of bright black eyes, and exclaimed sincerely:

"Master is truly wise and mighty, your subordinate is in awe!"

Xia Fa chuckled to himself. Where had his pet seen a similar play? It had even picked up those lines.

"Alright, enough joking around, let's go."

"Good host!"

……

In a sense, this was my first time officially entering the Protoss Realm, so it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

First, the Bees of Nature constructed a stable Protoss passage, and then Xia Fa stepped into it.

The Celestial Realm, seemingly like the cosmos, is actually filled with exceptionally vibrant colors, much like the strong, passionate, and rich colors used in Fauvist paintings.

Having just stepped out of the Protoss portal, the first thing Xia Fa saw was the ubiquitous "planetary phantoms" throughout the Protoss Realm.

Those phantom planets are said to be projections of planets in the real world, but they are not necessarily projections of the present moment.

In other words, the phantom of the planet that I am seeing now is very likely a projection of a life-bearing planet from tens of thousands of years ago, recording the joys and sorrows of humankind at that time.

Xia Fa looked around curiously, trying to find either the planet Caligia or the planet Gilgamesh among the projections of the planets.

However, after searching for a while, I couldn't find it.

"Hey, this is..."

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked at one of the planet projections.

The projection of this planet was quite unique, as it was entirely composed of medieval-style buildings, including a huge gray-white castle. Below the castle were all single-story houses made of yellow mud and gray bricks, with countless figures moving around among them.

Although every planet projection in the Protoss Realm is a projection, it is so realistic that it is almost indistinguishable from a real planet at first glance.

Therefore, Xia Fa could clearly see that among those figures were magicians wearing various pointed magic hats!

These magicians were clearly living very luxurious lives. Some rode in carriages with leisurely expressions, while others sat in restaurants by the street, drinking wine and eating expensive appetizers such as smoked salmon or goat cheese.

Wherever the magicians' carriages passed by, mortals would tremble and step aside, some even kneeling on the ground in awe, their foreheads pressed against the earth.

The restaurants where magicians appear cannot possibly contain any ordinary people; they can only contain other magicians.

Xia Fa witnessed firsthand how a restaurant was cleared out simply because a magician wanted to dine there, and only then did the magician show a satisfied expression.

Shaking his head, Xia Fa withdrew his gaze.

The Nature Bee seemed to be used to these things because it had been traveling and adventuring in the Celestial Spirit Realm for a long time, but its dark eyes still held an undisguised look of disdain.

In the memories it devoured of Michel, even though Michel was a king of an ancient alchemical kingdom, he had never done this before. On the contrary, he preferred to eat at roadside stalls with ordinary people, except that he traveled with a grand entourage.

Michel was considered quite arrogant among the nobility. Many other extraordinary nobles actually enjoyed mingling with commoners and even sacrificed themselves to protect them.

After briefly determining its direction, the Nature Bee waved at Xiafa, waving its short, stout insect forelegs.

“Master, come, stand here, the Eye of the Mist will come to pick us up soon.”

Seeing that the bee of nature was only a few meters away from it, Xia Fa was a little curious, wondering what the difference was, but still stood over.

However, the moment he stood next to the Bee of Nature, the Celestial Realm he saw changed.

Those incredibly realistic planetary projections vanished as if the stars were shifting and the sun was rising and setting, replaced by strange divine realms.

Among them are the realms of gods and the outer realms of gods. Some of the realms of gods are quite prosperous, with bustling commercial districts and thousands of people. Others of the realms of gods are full of strangeness, with corpses stretching for miles and blood vapor rising from them.

“Master, I have been invited to some Outer God Realms and Subordinate God Realms. Hehe, the offspring of the Subordinate Gods and Outer Gods mostly live in these Realms. Of course, they also go to the real world to make purchases or exchange ideas.”

The bee of nature explained things to its master in great detail, and Xia Fa listened attentively. As the saying goes, "It is not shameful to ask questions," since he did not understand, he would learn more.

He had vaguely heard about the offspring of the gods and the outer gods.

However, whether they are offspring of gods or outcasts, if they become gods or higher, they can only stay in the Protoss Realm. If they fail to become gods, even in the real world, they can only be a Mystic Emperor or a Transcendent Lord, and they are subject to the jurisdiction of the nine major churches.

Even among the offspring of gods or outer gods, those who can become Mysterious Emperors or Extraordinary Lords are extremely rare. Therefore, Xia Fa has not heard many stories about them.

The titles of Extraordinary Great Sovereign, Great Emperor, Heavenly Mandate Saint Venerable, etc., are not easily attained. They are all outstanding individuals who have emerged from countless life-bearing planets throughout the universe, with fewer than a few dozen in an era.

Therefore, even for the offspring of God or other gods, achieving this is very difficult; otherwise, there would have been more than three divinely ordained holy spirits in history, one of whom was himself.

Of course, the offspring of gods or outer gods are generally much stronger than their peers, but Xia Fa has never actually come into contact with them, so he is not very clear about it.

At this moment, with a sense of exploration, he curiously observed each and every divine realm.

In those divine realms, humans were rarely seen; they were mostly strange and grotesque races. Some had human bodies but octopus heads, while others had human upper bodies but eight spider-like legs. They moved incredibly fast, leaving trails of afterimages in the streets, saving them the trouble of riding horses or traveling by carriage.

Just as Xia Fa was observing from afar with great interest, suddenly, a thick fog appeared and instantly enveloped him and the Nature Bee.

Immediately, an eyeball appeared. It was not a double pupil, nor was it a pair like the [Secret Prayer Eye]. However, the pupil was a deep gray mist.

"Gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting. The Conference of Unknown Beings is about to begin. I will take you there now. Lord Source is already waiting."

A deep, steady voice rang out, like that of a middle-aged man. Immediately, the mist surged in completely, engulfing Xia Fa and the Bees of Nature.

Xia Fa remained calm, feeling as if he had stepped into a large-scale, ultra-long-distance teleportation array, with intense spatial power surging around him.

"At least from a divine perspective..."

Xia Fa quickly gave his assessment of this Eye of the Mist, while wondering if all the Eyes of the Mist in the unknown realms only had eyeballs and no bodies.

In just a moment, the fog dissipated.

The moment the mist dissipated, the first thing that came into view was a golden circular dome, as vast as the sky.

In the center of that circular dome was an eternal vortex of silicon aluminum the size of a watermelon. From this center, black lines extended out like spokes, covering the entire golden dome.

Upon closer inspection, those black lines were actually composed of densely packed secret characters the size of rice grains, and each pair of them formed a ritual array!

Countless rituals and arrays were stacked together, numbering at least trillions, all designed to prevent divination and prying, and each with different functions and methods.

"This kind of defensiveness..."

Xia Fa was surprised. He felt that even if a Golden Cleanser or one of the Nine Great Gods were to pass by outside the golden dome, they would not notice anything.

Below the circular, golden dome lies a circular plaza formed from gray mist.

At this moment, countless figures shrouded in gray mist gathered here, totaling tens of thousands of unknown entities.

Xia Fa discovered that if he looked closely, he could see some of the figures in the gray mist, most of which were strangely shaped.

But most of the figures in the gray fog were impossible to see no matter how hard I tried.

He was just about to find a secluded spot when, at that moment, figures from the gray mist turned around and looked at him.

Xia Fa was taken aback and before he could react, the figures in the gray mist all focused their gazes on his shoulder.

That is where the bees of nature reside.
