I'm not just human!

Even without the Bee of Nature saying it, Xia Fa could guess that this seemed to be a "philosophical attendant" from an unknown existence.

At this moment, it seemed that it only looked over because everyone had mentioned it, and quickly flipped through the pages of the book in its hand, while the pages of the book on its head also began to flip rapidly.

Immediately, it finally fixed its gaze on the [Crimson Demon Tree], from which several ancient runes flew out of its book-shaped head.

Among those present, none were simple; naturally, they could immediately recognize the meaning of those ancient cryptic texts.

Xia Fa also recognized it; it was a sentence with a profound meaning.

You have maintained your authentic self in the world you exist in.

The superdimensional proto-embryo, resembling a mass of flesh and blood, murmured and repeated once more:

"You have maintained your authentic self in the world you exist in... Does that mean the Crimson Tree didn't lie?"

The dense star cluster, shaped like a meteorite aggregate, swayed up and down twice, as if nodding in agreement:

"Yes, that must be it, otherwise this philosopher-servant wouldn't have said that."

Seeing this, Xia Fa was completely certain that it wasn't the Crimson Tree that attacked him yesterday morning outside Gilgamesh. However, this only made things more confusing and shrouded in mystery.

I don't think I've provoked any other gods, outer gods, or unknown beings of equal rank. I've signed five overlord-level secret contracts without revealing my identity. So... who could it be?

Moreover, not only did he admit his mistake, but even Dick Tudor admitted it wrong, which shows that this imposter is extremely extraordinary.

It should be noted that although [Dickito] is only a god, he possesses one of the strongest dozens of eternal credentials, [Eternal Plunder], and coupled with his mysterious origins, his strength and vision should not be underestimated.

Even Dick Tudor was fooled... Xia Fa felt that this matter was getting bigger and bigger...

"Could it be the Sons of Disguise? Those guys love playing pranks."

At this moment, one of the figures hidden in the gray mist spoke, his voice tinged with speculation.

The Child of Disguise?

Xia Fa was taken aback. Needless to say, just by hearing this name, one could tell that it belonged to some kind of unknown existence.

The Crimson Demon Tree then shook its trunk from side to side, making a rustling sound, as if it were shaking its head:

"No, it's not them. Actually, I personally looked into what happened outside Gilgamesh yesterday morning through divination. Although the Children of Disguise like to disguise themselves as various beings to play pranks, they wouldn't go so far as to kill someone so ruthlessly."

He paused, then suddenly gritted his teeth:

"But I don't know who it is. If I find out, I'll kill it first. Damn it, how dare they frame me."

Xia Fa wanted to stand up and support the Crimson Demon Tree, since the two of them now had a common enemy, though they didn't know who it was for the time being.

However, he knew he couldn't.

His current identity is not Xia Fa, but a Celestial Venerable, so he shouldn't take such "trivial matters" to heart at all.

Although he himself, as a Celestial Venerable, didn't even have a title or name, and it was unclear which category of unknown existence he belonged to...

The fleshy, superdimensional embryo swayed its round body, as if it were about to offer some profound insights.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice rang out from the deepest part of the circular plaza, and it immediately stopped speaking.

"Welcome everyone. Today's conference of unknown beings will be hosted by me, [Secret Prayer Eyes], and will begin soon."

Immediately afterwards, whether it was the Crimson Demon Tree, the Hyperdimensional Primal Embryo, the Deadly Star Cluster resembling a meteorite aggregate, or the rambling Philosopher, they all turned around and faced the deepest part of the circular plaza.

On the golden dome, the watermelon-sized eternal vortex of silicon-aluminum at the very top suddenly lit up, and the cryptic text began to writhe within the spoke-like black lines radiating from it.

Xia Fa vaguely sensed that in that instant, an immense and strange power was activated, making this already very safe place many times safer.

only……

After glancing at the watermelon-sized Eternal Vortex Silicon-Aluminum, Xia Fa had to admit that this was the largest piece of sacred metal he had ever seen in his life.

Moreover, the fifth overlord-level secret contract he signed happened to be the one with the condition of "eternal," and the corresponding sacred metal was precisely this eternal vortex of silicon-aluminum...

Of course, he knew that this watermelon-sized Eternal Vortex Silicon-Aluminum was probably a sacred treasure in the hearts of the unknown beings, since they relied on it to establish this relatively safe gathering place. It couldn't be moved, and buying it was probably out of the question.

However, this eternal vortex of silicon and aluminum is just too big...

"Alright, it seems everyone who should be here has arrived, and those who shouldn't be here haven't. Therefore, I hereby declare this grand gathering of unknown beings, held once every ten thousand years—"

A pair of enormous double pupils suddenly appeared on the high platform at the innermost part of the circular plaza, with a diameter of ten thousand meters, like a terrifying ancient god looking down on the world, much larger than what Xia Fa had seen yesterday.

Xia Fa even suspected that this was probably just the normal state of the source master of the [Secret Prayer Eye] mist.

The next moment, her ethereal voice rang out:

"Let's begin!"

Suddenly, the golden dome lit up, illuminating the gray, fog-like circular plaza. At the same time, countless unknown entities emerged from the gray fog.

Looking around, Xia Fa was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of sights from in front of him to the entire circular plaza.

Aside from the flesh-and-blood-like superdimensional proto-embryos he had just seen, the dense star clusters resembling amalgamations or planetary-stellar aggregates, and the philosophical attendants with a book or pen on their heads, there were many other things he had never seen before, or even imagined.

For example, some resemble tornadoes or vortexes, but the center of the vortex has a single lizard eye.

Some are giants that glow all over, but their facial features are all hollow, with lava flowing inside.

Others look like eerily white ghosts, but their entire bodies are made up of fat, wriggling maggots...

But all of this is still good. Xia Fa felt that at least he could see their appearance and shape clearly, and even deduce some of the origins of these unknown beings.

At the far end of the circular plaza, around the high platform, stood extremely blurry and chaotic figures, each one incredibly tall.

The gray mist that enveloped them had long since dissipated, or rather, they didn't bother to hide at all.

However, no matter how hard Xia Fa looked, he couldn't see them clearly. He felt that these figures were beyond the range of his senses. Even though his mind and will had long contained enough strange currents, he still couldn't see them clearly no matter how hard he tried.

The only thing that could be barely discerned was a jumble of lines, like pencil scribbles, which were constantly writhing, or perhaps a transparent, uncertain bag-shaped shadow, or even a chaotic mass of electricity gathered together. And even so, they were all extremely blurry.

"Indescribable, unobservable, inaccessible and uncommunicable..."

Xia Fa inexplicably recalled the primary description of unknown beings that he had seen in "Secret Texts and Divination".

If he were just a mortal, or a superhuman at the fungal level, then the few people around him—the superdimensional proto-embryo, the philosophical attendant, the dense star cluster, and so on—would all be considered unknown beings that are "indescribable, unobservable, untouchable, and uncommunicable."

However, now that he has signed five overlord-level secret contracts and possesses a strange electric current at his spine, he can naturally distinguish these unknown entities.

As for the few people around the high platform... they were completely indistinguishable.

"Nature's bees, do you recognize them?"

Xia Fa asked curiously through the soul seal.

The Bee of Nature immediately said:

“Master, I don’t know them either. The storyteller and the bard both told me that I must not provoke those people, because…”

It took a deep breath and, within the soul seal, spoke in an extremely solemn tone:

"...Even to the unknown beings, these few are still unknown beings!"

An unknown existence within an unknown existence?

Or rather, an existence that even the unknown considers itself unknown?

Xia Fa was startled and immediately decided to withdraw his gaze, deciding not to scrutinize these unknown beings among unknown beings.

But at that moment, one of them, who seemed to be a jumble of lines coming together, suddenly turned his extremely blurry figure and stared straight at him!

The next moment, this unknown being within an unknown being looked at Xia Fa and said something that no one present had expected at all!

Chapter 346 Xia Fa has lived for tens of thousands of years? [Absolute Defense] Fighting dozens of Golden Cleaners alone

“I…recognize you.”

A cacophony of sounds, like the delirium of madness, echoed above the gray fog plaza, beneath the golden dome.

Whether in Xia Fa's eyes or in the eyes of others, there was no doubt that it was that truly unknown being, with its chaotic lines, who uttered such a sentence.

In that instant, many unknown beings felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but look back at Xia Fa's location once more.

Or rather, he looked at the figure shrouded in a cloud of gray mist, and the bee of nature perched on the figure's shoulder!

Those unknown beings present, even those who had previously doubted the strength of the master of the Nature Bee, now completely dispelled their doubts and instead became extremely awe-inspiring.

After all, the only one who could possibly be greeted by this unspeakable, unknown being is the Celestial Venerable!

Because, at this gathering of unknown beings, the people surrounding that high platform were all Celestial Venerables!

They were all truly terrifying and great beings that even the unknown beings present dared not touch or describe!

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised at this moment.

what's going on?

This unknown entity, like a jumble of lines, actually recognizes itself?

Wait, could it be that it has mistaken someone for someone else?

But upon closer reflection, this is at least a Celestial Venerable; how could he possibly mistake someone for someone else?

He knew very well that the people next to the platform all gave him a similar feeling to the [Sage] and the young miner, and were much stronger than [Secret Prayer Eye].

[Secret Prayer Eyes] seems to be on par with the story tellers and bards in the physical world. Now Xia Fa understands that these people should all be at the Quasi-Celestial Venerable level.

As for those unknown beings among the unknown beings, they are undoubtedly Celestial Venerables, possessing strength that even True Gods would treat with caution!

At this moment, Xia Fa's mind raced, and countless feasible answers came to mind in an instant. In the end, he chose the one that was simple and straightforward, and also the one that would least reveal his identity.

"Ah hello."

Seeing that the owner of the Nature Bee, shrouded in gray mist, had uttered only a few words so casually, as if it were a greeting between old friends.

The unknown beings present felt a chill run down their spines once more, and they all turned to look at the chaotic, line-like Celestial-level unknown being.

The unknown being at the Celestial Venerable level gave a low "hmm" and then said:

"I didn't expect you to come. It's been so long."

Having said that, it turned around and faced the platform again without waiting for Xia Fa's response.

Xia Fa, however, was pondering those words and became completely confused.

Originally, he was somewhat doubtful when this unknown being at the Celestial Venerable level said he recognized him, but now, he was actually speaking in the tone of an old friend.

What exactly is going on?

Seeing that he had not suffered any danger or loss, Xia Fa decided to simply stop thinking about it.
