I'm not just human!

There's no other reason than that I'm just too familiar with them. Come to think of it, I've already entered three different guardian castles belonging to different fairy tale world signatories.

They were Prince Justinian, which is the most normal explanation.

There's also Dick's place, which looks eerie, but it's actually quite safe inside.

And the guardian of the land where time stands still, it looks exactly like it's made of fine steel, making it the most reliable in comparison.

"This top-tier secret contract in the Fairy Tale World... I remember that for every five percent increase in the understanding of the contract, you can gain a new contract ability, right? The first one is definitely guarding the castle, and the last one is definitely a scapegoat rabbit puppet, while the ones in between are random."

"So, by that calculation, I'm about to gain twenty secret abilities? My god..."

Even though he already possessed a wide variety of secret abilities and mutation abilities, Xia Fa couldn't help but be amazed.

As a dominant species, the power and comprehensiveness of the fairy tale world remain unquestionable.

"By the way, what was the second overlord-level secret pact that Dick Tudor signed when he was still the Emperor of Mystery?"

Perhaps because of the thought of "fairy tale world" and the association with Dick Tudor, Xia Fa suddenly remembered this question and became genuinely curious.

Before I could think any further, my spiritual intuition suddenly surged like boiling water, and I heard a murmured call in my ear, as if it could stir up the deepest desires in my heart.

"The Secret of the Primordial Era..."

"The Secret of the Primordial Era..."

"The Secret of the Primordial Era..."

Even after hearing it several times, or rather, precisely because he had heard it several times, Xia Fa couldn't help but feel a deeper curiosity and a heartfelt desire for this tenth type of overlord-level secret contract, which was also the only "Primordial Secret Explanation" in the world.

This is a supreme-level secret agreement that even the nine great gods have not signed. There is only one such agreement in the entire universe, and it will be born in about twenty days.

Fortunately, I have the Ancient Capsules given to me by the Wise One, so I can do my best to fight for them when the time comes.

"By the way, if I can really snatch the [Primordial Secret Explanation] in twenty days, wouldn't I be able to sign it immediately once I get my hands on it? Regardless of which overlord-level secret contract I'm currently signing, or whether my understanding progress has been completed..."

Thinking about this, for some reason, a surge of excitement welled up inside me, my heart was pounding, and every pore on my body felt like it was opening up.

You have to understand that what I want most right now is to improve my strength, no matter what means I have to do.

The [Ancient Secrets] can be signed immediately upon acquisition, without having to wait for the progress of understanding the previous Overlord-level secret contract to be completed, which is incredibly convenient!

Not to mention, as the tenth overlord-level secret contract, and the only one of its kind in the entire universe, which even the nine righteous gods have never signed, the secret contract ability of this [Primordial Secret Explanation] is probably incredibly powerful.

"Could it be that the [Primordial Secrets] correspond to an extremely powerful force from the very origin of the universe, which is why it took more than 30,000 years to condense?"

Xia Fa speculated, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Just then, my spiritual intuition stirred once more, but this time it wasn't whispered words in my ear; it was a call that came through.

"Star Spirit Mage..."

"Star Spirit Mage..."

"Star Spirit Mage..."

It's actually... the Celestial Spirit Mage?

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He never expected that his seventh overlord-level secret contract would be with the Star Spirit Law Lord!

Of course, considering that besides the [Primordial Secrets], only the [Primordial Stomach], [Star Spirit Master], and [Forge of All Things] have not been signed yet, a one-third probability seems normal.

"Perfect timing. I have to go to the Celestial Spirit Realm all the time these days. For example, tomorrow I have to go with a group of fanatical tomb raiders to rob that Quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb. The Celestial Spirit Master's arrival is quite timely..."

If "Star Spirit Master" were my second or third overlord-level secret contract, that would be a real problem. At that time, as a highly sought-after person, I wouldn't dare to go to the Star Spirit Realm, as I would be targeted by all sorts of unknown beings at any time.

Even the young miners repeatedly warned me never to go to the Celestial Spirit Realm, which shows how dangerous it is.

"The Protoss in the Protoss Realm... are born with the rank of Overlord, and many even grow to the ranks of God or Outer God. If only I could subdue an Outer God Protoss..."

Since the Star Spirit Mage contract would be signed soon anyway, Xia Fa boldly imagined it.

After all, both the Protoss "White Hunt," which resembled a cow with black snakes growing from its back, and the Protoss "Vast Red Moon," which resembled the Nidhogg Pope Red Moon, were extremely powerful and troublesome, leaving a very deep impression on him.

"Fortunately, I kept a Star Spirit Master card for myself, so I don't have to worry about where to find one..."

With the fairy tale world contract now signed and his next overlord-level secret agreement confirmed, Xia Fa was preparing to take out the extraordinary pills and rare medicines he had obtained from the [Shepherd Star Elf].

Suddenly, a black pouch hidden at the waist vibrated inexplicably, transmitting a power far stronger than that of a peak Outer God.

"This is……"

With a thought, Xia Fa flipped his hand, and a rhomboid crystal appeared in his palm. In the center of the crystal, a black flame was burning fiercely.

It is... the Redemption Spark Crystal that represents the identity of a member of the Physical Redemption Society!

Immediately afterwards, a spiritual intuition was transmitted from it.

"Hello, hello? Lord Glutton, Lord Glutton, are you there?"

Even avid tomb raiders seem to start their conversations with "Are you there?"

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly and made a sarcastic remark, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and conjured up two dining tables and corresponding chairs not far in front of him.

Then, on the left-hand table, he placed several bottles of iced strawberry liqueur that Gastis the Great Axe had given him, and then, in a flash, he appeared at the right-hand table.

Imagining the craving for iced strawberry liqueur, and specifically the iced strawberry liqueur specially made by Gastis the Great Axe, Shafa sat down at the table on the right.

hum! ! !

A sudden, chaotic surge of energy, like an electric current, swept through the air. The next moment, his blurry figure, seemingly enveloped in a mosaic, appeared before the iced strawberry liqueur on the left table.

"call--"

Xia Fa let out a long breath, and the tension in his heart eased.

Just now, he was really afraid that his "random free meal" would teleport him directly into the true world of Gastis the Great Axe.

After all, there are probably only two places in the world where this special iced strawberry liqueur is available: one is right here on the dining table in front of me, and the other is in the True God Realm of Gastis the Great Axe.

Although Gastis the Great Axe's True God Realm is very safe, and teleporting there wouldn't be a problem, it would be bad if the connection with the fanatical tomb raiders were severed by the True God Realm...

Fortunately, this attempt was successful.

Without much thought, Xia Fa immediately picked up the Redemption Spark Crystal and transmitted a spiritual intuition to it, using the stern and indifferent tone characteristic of the "Glutton."

"what happened?"

The fervent intuition of a tomb raider immediately kicked in, and he said with great excitement:

"Your Excellency Glutton, do you remember what I told you before about discovering an Outer God's tomb? I was mistaken back then; it was actually the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Being!"

Xia Fa deliberately responded in a nonchalant tone:

"Oh?"

After all, he hadn't forgotten that his disguised entity, "Glutton," was a quasi-Celestial Venerable who was transforming into a Celestial Venerable. Therefore, "Glutton" certainly wouldn't show much interest in a mere quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb.

In contrast, the tombs of the "Great Old Ones" mentioned by the fanatical tomb raiders were what truly piqued the interest of the "Gluttons."

The avid tomb raider wasn't surprised by this reaction, and his tone remained excited and enthusiastic:

“Yes, I’m sure it’s the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable! I promised to take your juniors with me! But now there’s a problem, a very crucial one.”

Xia Fa responded:

"What's the problem?"

The avid tomb raider continued:

“I myself have never signed the [Star Spirit Lord] overlord-level secret contract. Yesterday, in order to break the bond, I encountered several Outer Gods. They didn’t seem to have signed the [Star Spirit Lord] contract either. However, based on my exploration tonight, an extremely powerful secret Star Spirit was born in the tomb of that Quasi-Celestial Venerable!”

Xia Fa's chest suddenly skipped a beat, his heart pounded, but he remained outwardly calm:

"Go on."

The fanatical tomb raider, seemingly noticing the interest of the "Gluttonous One" he was so eager to please, quickened his pace and said:

"You should know about the Mystic Star Spirit. It is a special kind of 'spirit' that belongs to both Mystic Spirit and Star Spirit. It is much rarer, more powerful, and more bizarre than Star Spirit."

"And this Mysterious Star Spirit has reached the level of Outer God! Moreover, it seems to have no consciousness, but it has inherited many of the abilities of that Quasi-Celestial Venerable."

"So, if your junior has signed the [Star Spirit Master] contract, and comes with me to the tomb this time to subdue this secret Star Spirit, their strength will definitely increase greatly!"

"Since that Star Spirit has no consciousness, it is not difficult to subdue it. However, it is necessary to sign a contract with the existence of the [Star Spirit Master]."

"So, Your Excellency Glutton, your junior..."

Xia Fa thought about it. Anyway, he would have to go down into the tomb with the fanatical tomb raiders tomorrow, since he had already fallen for their "tomb raiding" rules.

In that case, why not link your true identity to "gluttons" and pretend to be a junior member of the gluttons?

Of course, this can only be known to the fanatical tomb raiders. In a sense, the fanatical tomb raiders and the gluttons are absolutely on the same side, both being physical entities, so it's relatively safe to tell them.

"Actually, I was just looking for you. When you were seeking a solution yesterday, besides the three outer gods, did you also encounter a little fellow who seemed to be a god?"

Xia Fa became unusually talkative, but still maintained the dignified and indifferent tone of a glutton.

The fanatical tomb raider immediately seemed to understand something:

"You...you mean, that wouldn't be one of your juniors, would it?"

Xia Fa confirmed:

"That's right. Although He hasn't signed the [Star Spirit Master] contract yet, the next overlord-level secret contract He's about to sign is the [Star Spirit Master] contract. Can you think of any way to—"

Before he could finish speaking, the fanatical tomb raider interrupted him as if to claim credit:

“I understand, I understand. With my 'tomb raiding' rules alone, I can keep that Secret Star Spirit trapped for your junior for more than a month, but more than a month is the limit. What do you think…?”

Xia Fa said decisively:

"That's enough. I'll leave it to you tomorrow. Please take good care of my only descendant in this world."

The spiritual intuition conveyed by the fanatical tomb raider was immediately filled with a fawning tone, and it was a sincere, heartfelt fawning:

"Of course, of course. I'll risk my life to protect your junior. Well then, Lord Glutton, I won't bother you any longer. I'm going to continue scouting that great tomb!"

The next moment, the Redemption Spark Crystal trembled, and the immense power, far stronger than that of a peak Outer God, was severed.

Xia Fa's eyes lit up as he pondered.

In just over a month, Xia Fa was confident that he could not only sign the next overlord-level secret contract, but also the next [Star Spirit Master].

In particular, now that he has signed the [Fairy Tale World] agreement, he is able to fight against ordinary Outer Gods, which will greatly accelerate the progress of the [Fairy Tale World] project.

Within the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, a Mysterious Star Spirit of Outer God rank was born. Even the physical entity of the fanatical tomb raider described it as extremely powerful... Xia Fa became more and more excited as he thought about it, wishing he could sign the [Star Spirit Master] contract right now and subdue this Mysterious Star Spirit!

If I could subdue a Star Spirit of Outer God rank, it would be equivalent to doubling my strength!
