I'm not just human!

Chapter 364 From Human...to Godhood! (Part 2)

The moment the gold coin entered his stomach, Xia Fa immediately felt an extremely intimate and attractive force spreading throughout his body.

But then, the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike] disappeared.

Xia Fa was almost startled. He had gone through countless hardships and risked his life to obtain the [Eternal Critical Strike]. If anything went wrong with it, it would be terrible.

But almost the next instant, something unexpected happened!

Xia Fa truly felt that starting from the tips of his fingers and toes, and from his first and second hearts, one "gold coin" after another began to emerge!

Three, six, twelve... countless gold coins accumulated, taking over various parts of the body.

Moreover, these gold coins use a self-replicating method, so they are not very impressive at first, but after just a few seconds, the number of gold coins increases to an extremely terrifying number each time!

Finally, when the number of gold coins reached more than fifty trillion, the growth stopped.

Then, all fifty trillion gold coins disappeared again.

"This……"

Before Xia Fa could react, she suddenly felt a tingling and itchy sensation all over her body, accompanied by a soft "pop" sound.

He then realized that these gold coins had shrunk to the cellular level and entered every single one of his cells!

Whether it's epithelial cells, heart cells, blood vessel wall cells, muscle fiber cells, gastrointestinal mucosal cells, etc., every single cell has a gold coin entering it, not a single one is missed!

In an instant, every cell in his body had a gold coin, and the gold coin was combining with the cell nucleus, although the whole process was extremely slow.

To be precise, starting with heart cells, the fusion of a single cell with a coin is relatively quick, taking only a fraction of a second. However, since they have to be fused one by one, it is much slower.

"Could this be the first level of life advancement from human to god?"

Xia Fa stared blankly, and at the same time, a huge question came to mind.

That is, what if beings without physical bodies, such as certain "spirits" in the Astral Realm, ghost-like creatures, and all sorts of strange and intangible beings, wanted to break through to the level of gods?

How can this tangible "eternal proof" be integrated with them?

However, since he had a real body, he only thought about it curiously for a moment before pulling his thoughts away.

He already knew what to do next, without needing to be told.

Without a doubt, the eternal proof of so-called "absorption and containment" is to completely combine the eternal proof in every cell of one's body with the cell nucleus!

If it's a cell without a nucleus, like a platelet, then it binds to the mitochondria within it!

Once the gold coins in every cell of your body are successfully combined with the cells, then you... will truly transform from a human into a god!

only……

"This project is absolutely massive!"

Xia Fa muttered a complaint to himself, and at the same time finally understood why Pope Nidhogg hadn't been able to fully absorb and contain the "Eternal Chaos" back then, but had fallen just short.

Speaking of which, given Pope Nidhogg's status as the Mysterious Emperor, coupled with the Core Gold Star Dragon sealed within his [Supernatural Body], the contracted Star Spirit "Vast Moon Spirit," and most importantly, one of the strongest of the dozens of eternal proofs, [Eternal Chaos], if He could become a god, He would likely be incredibly powerful...

Thinking of Pope Nidhogg, Shafa instantly stopped feeling troubled and tired. At the same time, he also thought of his great-grandfather, parents, cousins, and Chestnut Benedictine Meowkor...

Finally, in this chaotic world where the Golden Cleanser is about to awaken, I will begin to have the ability to protect those I want to protect!

Immediately, Xia Fa began to concentrate his mind, preparing to gradually fuse the gold coin with the cell nucleus, starting from the cells of the first heart.

More than fifty trillion cells—it's impossible to know how long it will take. Even if each cell only takes a fraction of a second to fuse with the gold coin, it still seems like an astronomical number…

"It will probably take... several hundred to several thousand years?"

Xia Fa did a simple and rough calculation: if fusing the gold coin in a single cell only takes a fraction of a second, then it would take two or three hundred years to complete.

If it's a fraction of a second, then it would take thousands of years.

If it were just a few seconds... well... that seems unlikely, as it would exceed the lifespan limit of a typical Mystic Emperor.

"Wait a minute, even if it really only takes a little over two hundred years, isn't that a bit too long—"

boom!!!

At that moment, every cell in my body, the "burning feeling" I had developed during the previous exercise, suddenly ignited!

That was so exciting!

The burning sensation was like a high-temperature flame or some kind of highly efficient catalyst, which immediately caused the cell nucleus, mitochondria, or cell membrane in each cell to rapidly fuse with the corresponding gold coin!

In just a few seconds, all the gold coins were fused with their corresponding cells.

More than 50 trillion gold coins, corresponding to more than 50 trillion cells, actually merged completely with each other!

The next moment, golden light burst forth from the cells, and the power of the "critical strike" began to take effect.

First, the cell nucleus is greatly enhanced, then the mitochondria, cell membrane, and other organelles.

Then, every inch of bone, every muscle, every piece of skin... all began to grow stronger in an incredible way because of the effect of the "critical hit"!

Not only that, but even the secret abilities he had mastered, the secret techniques he had learned, and even the physical changes he had undergone due to absorbing sacred metal, all began to "crack down."

Xia Fa felt as if his spirit and soul had been sublimated, and he trembled uncontrollably. In this transformation from human to god, his consciousness began to rise towards the tenacity and stability of a divine status.

Suddenly, countless points of light appeared before my eyes, like stars in the night sky. Some of these points of light were white, while others were a blurry white, and the latter were far more numerous than the former.

Xia Fa immediately understood that this represented people who believed in his true identity as "Xia Fa" and the disguised physical identity as "Glutton"!

Fortunately, the fame of "Lord Gluttony" has now spread throughout the entire universe, and even the beings of the Protoss Realm know and praise him.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about not having enough anchor points.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, seeing that his body and secret bond had completely absorbed and contained the [Eternal Critical Strike], and all the critical strikes had been completed, Xia Fa's body exploded.

But this time, the explosion was not a bloody and fleshy explosion; instead, it dispersed into more than 50 trillion cells!

Logically speaking, a normal human body has more than 30 to 40 trillion cells, but Xia Fa has more than 50 trillion. He suspects that it may be because he has grown a second heart...

Within each cell, a burning sensation first arose, like colorless, transparent yet terrifying flames enveloping the cell and burning fiercely, like burning iron balls.

Immediately, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound, a strange electric current emerged from the cell, swirling around it continuously.

All the cells suddenly trembled, taking on a sun-like texture, as if they had instantly transformed into more than fifty trillion miniature suns.

Then, from over fifty trillion cells, countless chaotic lightning bolts suddenly burst forth, forming chaotic lightning nets around the cells.

Immediately afterwards, all the cells emitted a pure white, holy, and blazing light, which blended with the texture of the sun, making the high-temperature orange-yellow even brighter and the pure, blazing white even whiter, almost blinding Xia Fa's consciousness.

Finally, accompanied by countless metallic storms emerging from around the cells, swirling around them like star rings, all the cells shuddered and began to converge toward the center.

Then, Xia Fa saw that all the sacred metals he had absorbed before... whether it was pure white light-seeking crystal silver, star whispers secret titanium, dreamlike deep-diving shadow gold, eternal vortex silicon aluminum, all the gatherings of miracles, etc., all appeared in the form of various colored metal powders.

In just a moment, the lines of bones, nerves, organs, muscles, blood vessels, and so on are formed, waiting to merge with the cells.

"Does that mean that without absorbing enough sacred metal, it's impossible to outline the complete lines of a god's body?"

Just as Xia Fa had this thought, he saw more than 50 trillion cells suddenly aggregate and transform back into his tall and agile body.

……

at the same time.

In the Celestial Spirit Realm.

"Something's not right. Something just flashed by. Did you guys see it?"

The Crimson Demon Tree was munching on a meteorite and drinking lava tea with a dense star cluster when it suddenly seemed to sense something and turned its gaze in a certain direction.

If a Star Spirit Rift were to be created from that direction, it would lead directly to the Natural Starfield.

The planet, resembling the head of a dense star cluster, shook its head.

"I don't know, I sensed it too. It seems to be that terrifying and mysterious forbidden zone, the [Land of Wandering Puppets and Burial Objects]... Maybe it was born from a divine-level treasure or sealed artifact?"

The Crimson Demon Tree nodded:

"Hmm, it's somewhat similar. The main thing is that it just fluctuated for a moment and then disappeared. In such a short time, it's definitely not possible for someone to break through and sublimate to the level of a god. That would take a lot of effort. It took me almost five hundred years back then."

The head, resembling a planet in a dense star cluster, nodded in agreement:

"It took me more than three thousand years, but thankfully the lifespan of our compact star clusters is as long as that of planets and stars themselves."

These two Outer Gods completely ignored the possibility that someone might have become a god through this, because the time was far too short, just a few seconds.

Even the two strongest righteous gods, Absolute Defense and Paradox Joker, could not have fully absorbed and contained the Eternal Proof in such a short time during the human era, thus becoming a subordinate god.

In the Star Spirit Realm, many beings from the Divine Realm, the Outer Divine Realm, and even the Celestial Venerable Realm are discussing similar topics.

However, they all basically ignored the possibility that someone could become a god, and tacitly believed that a mysterious treasure or a sealed object from a god had been born.

However, this also led some of the lesser gods, lacking secret treasures or sealing artifacts, to secretly head to the [Land of the Wandering Puppet and Burial Goods].

……

The real world.

Ared Star.

This is the location of the earthly divine kingdom of the strongest righteous god, [Absolute Defense].

In terms of prosperity, Ared is not only in no way inferior to Caligi, but may even be more prosperous.

After all, with its reputation as the "strongest" in terms of "absolute defense," it attracts a large number of believers to make pilgrimages every year.

At this moment, on the planet Ared, in the middle of a desolate Gobi desert.

The view was all brownish-yellow, with coarse sand and gravel covering the entire Gobi Desert. Only a few strands of copper-wire-like weeds stubbornly grew, swaying from side to side in the hot wind.

In this desolate Gobi Desert, a major road runs through the land, connecting two large cities on the planet Ared.

Near the main road to the north, a horse-drawn carriage being pulled by camels was slowly passing by.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the driver, holding down his straw hat, jumped to the ground.

Not far in front of him was a wine stall.

An exceptionally handsome young man sat in the pub, pouring himself glasses of cider.

"Boss, a refreshing cider or strawberry wine, I'm dying of heat in this weather."

The coachman had a rather old face, with deep wrinkles that looked as if they had been carved out by a knife, giving him a rather rugged and stern appearance.

He was wearing a simple white jacket and fanning himself with his straw hat, trying to alleviate the heat caused by the sticky sweat on his body.
