I'm not just human!

Xia Fa asked, puzzled:

What did the bard say?

The fanatical tomb raider shook his head:

"That was about a thousand years ago. At that time, our Entity Redemption Society was having a gathering, and everyone was drunk. The bard mysteriously pulled me aside and said that among the nine great gods, the current 'Error Rules' might be fake."

"At the time, we didn't know about the truth of the Nine Great Gods. It wasn't until recently that things happened. You might not know, but in the last two days, the Gourmet and the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons have mocked us countless times, saying that they both knew all along that the Nine Great Gods were fake."

"But all in all, that time the bard told me that, based on the clues he had recently uncovered, the real [faulty rule]... might be dead!"

The "Error Rule," one of the nine righteous gods, is arguably the most mysterious of them all, second only to the ninth righteous god. Yet, he died at least a thousand years ago.

Xia Fa was shocked. He had thought that all nine righteous gods except for [First History] were alive, but trapped in different places. Moreover, strictly speaking, [First History] was also alive.

Surprisingly, the [faulty rule] is already dead!

The avid tomb raider then let out a long sigh:

"Today was so incredibly dangerous that I didn't even connect the two events at first. Of course, there's also the fact that it's been over a thousand years, and I was quite drunk at the time, so the extraordinary wine brewed by the gourmet had quite an effect... But in any case, now that we've found the [Eternal Error], it means that the [Error Rule] is indeed dead."

Xia Fa pondered and said:

"Could it be that more than ten thousand years ago, when the real nine true gods were replaced by the fake nine true gods?"

The fanatical tomb raider's eyes gleamed, and he nodded slightly.

"It's possible. Thinking about it now, it must have been extremely dangerous back then, after all, even Lord Absolute Defense was replaced... Although I don't know how He was defeated, if that's the case, it's possible that the other true gods perished on the spot. Moreover, their identities were taken over by the fake Nine True Gods, and they couldn't even be resurrected through faith."

Although this matter is extremely significant, so significant that it could cause a huge upheaval throughout the entire universe.

But something even bigger is already happening.

In other words, the nine true gods are all fake. [First History] transformed into a barrier, enveloping the more than ten thousand sleeping Golden Cleansers. Then, [Paradox Joker] and [Silver Universe] waged war against the fake nine true gods and Alm Giantbow.

Oh, and there's also the remarkable achievement of [Absolute Defense] single-handedly holding off thirty-five Golden Cleaners.

Xia Fa understood that the fanatical tomb raider was able to learn the news so quickly because he was a physical being, but it wouldn't be long before the entire universe knew.

Seemingly because he had analyzed the fall of the [Faulty Rule], the fanatical tomb raider's emotions became extremely complicated. He sighed softly and said:

"You know what? In this world, the one who can truly be called number one in the tomb raiding industry is Lord [Error Rule], the second is [Knowledge Apostle], and I only come in third."

As he spoke, he gave a self-deprecating, bitter laugh:

"I thought that even though the awakening of the Golden Cleaners was less than a year away, I might still have a chance to raid the tombs of the Great Old Ones with Lord [Error Rule]."

Xia Fa asked in surprise:

"You've never met Lord [The Wrong Rules] before?"

The fanatical tomb raider shook his head:

"No, I am an entity that was born more than nine thousand years ago. More than a thousand years have passed since the Nine True Gods were replaced by the fake Nine True Gods. In the third ten thousand years of the universe, apart from the story teller and the bard, and the first entity, none of us other entities are qualified to meet the Nine True Gods."

But immediately, a strange light shone in his eyes:

Do you know why I admire Lord [Faulty Rules] so much?

Xia Fa asked with considerable curiosity:

"why?"

The fanatical tomb raiders, however, looked towards the Star Spirit Starry Sky. As far as the eye could see, they could vaguely make out some damaged tombs, some belonging to rulers, some to gods, and even some to outer gods.

In the Celestial Realm, such damaged tombs are commonplace, while intact tombs are mostly hidden in the void and require a certain level of astrological knowledge to find.

Moreover, the higher the status of the being, the more difficult it is to find their tomb.

He didn't answer the question directly, but instead said quietly:

"Have you ever wondered why so many gods, even quasi-celestial beings and celestial beings, and even the ancient rulers, would go to such lengths to set up tombs?"

Before Xia Fa could answer, he said in an even more mysterious tone:

"Actually, it's all because of Lord [Faulty Rules], because of His origins, and the way He became a true god..."

Chapter 382 The Past of the Nine Great Gods, and... the Origin Secret Techniques After Understanding the Fairy Tale World!

Xia Fa felt a sudden chill and his attention instantly became extremely focused.

He was already very interested in the Nine Great Gods, not to mention that the [Error Rule] was the second most mysterious of the Nine Great Gods, after the Ninth God.

The Ninth God is so mysterious that even now no one knows his name, and even the Paradox Joker is unwilling to mention it.

On the other hand, people's understanding of the "erroneous rules" seems to be limited to knowing its name.

Now, the fanatical tomb raider, who is also one of the extremely strange and powerful "entities," seems to know the origin of the [Error Rule], and even the method by which He became a true god. Xia Fa's curiosity and thirst for knowledge have been completely aroused.

The avid tomb raider pulled out a flat iron can from somewhere. It was a very plain one, without any patterns, and its surface was polished quite smoothly, as if it had been used for many years.

He unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and gazed at the vast and boundless Star Spirit sky, as if looking at the phantom images of thriving planets, or perhaps at the enormous Star Spirits wandering among those phantom images. His eyes gradually filled with memories and contemplation.

His slightly hoarse voice rang out, as if he were telling a very long story.

"As you know, I am a physical entity, and every physical entity in our Physical Redemption Society has an extremely mysterious origin; few people know how they were born."

"As for me, I was born with the knowledge of the rules of 'tomb raiding'. I have been bound by these rules for the rest of my life, but I have also gained many benefits that ordinary people would never expect."

"I don't know why, even though I don't really understand any of the nine righteous gods and I still hold them in the highest reverence, I always felt a strange closeness to the [Error Rules], a longing to follow Him, especially to follow in His footsteps."

"As if guided and inspired by some destiny, through countless tomb raids over the past nine thousand years, I have slowly discovered and pieced together the origins of the Lord of [Error Rules] by piecing together various clues from tombs large and small."

The avid tomb raider took another small sip of wine, swallowed the spicy liquid after his throat bobbed.

His expression held an overwhelming sorrow, yet also a hidden resentment, whether directed at the Golden Cleansers who had caused the downfall of the [False Rules], or at the [Twisted Rules], the false one among the Nine True Gods who had replaced the [False Rules].

"More than 30,000 years ago, after that momentous event that no one can yet understand, yet which nearly gave rise to our current extraordinary era, the universe ushered in a period of great prosperity for extraordinary beings."

"During that period, the ancient gods perished, the fate of the Sun God King was unknown, and the Moon Mother Goddess disappeared after giving up everything."

"As for the Great Old Ones, although they have all appeared, they are busy fighting for 'proofs of eternity' and all sorts of treasures such as sacred metals, and have no time to care about the extraordinary beings in the universe."

"Because at that time, no true god had yet appeared out of nowhere, so the Great Old Ones would not join forces to deal with the true gods."

"Of course, the Great Old Ones may have also spent a lot of time dealing with the Golden Cleansers of that time."

"In short, under these circumstances, extraordinary beings grow as vigorously and wildly as weeds, and even on some inhabited planets controlled by the Great Old Ones, they still thrive and prosper."

"[Faulty Rule] The adult rose to power from that era."

"His talent can be described as extraordinary and unparalleled throughout the ages. Of course, at that time, there were at least dozens, if not hundreds, of people with such extraordinary and unparalleled talents. Among them, the nine who finally stood out are the current nine great gods."

"At that time, the [Error Rule] made rapid progress and quickly reached the peak of Outer God. Then, without encountering any major obstacles, he became a Quasi-Celestial Venerable in just over ten years, and then became a Celestial Venerable in a few decades."

"At that time, there wasn't even a single extraordinary being who had attained the position of a true god. Therefore, apart from the Great Old Ones, the Celestials were the strongest beings."

"But unfortunately, because the [Error Rule] Master advances too quickly, sometimes he doesn't even have time to fully understand the contents of the secret contract he has signed, and he hasn't even obtained the original secret technique. When he is at the level of over ninety percent, he signs the next secret contract."

"This led to Him becoming the most unstable of all the Celestial Venerables, with His mind approaching madness and His body approaching loss of control."

"Fortunately, soon after, the [Nature Monarch] and the [Supreme Law] both achieved the position of true gods, and with the power of true gods that was completely different from that of the Great Old Ones and the authority corresponding to their respective eternal credentials, they quickly subdued one life-bearing planet after another."

"You should know more about what happened next: the Nature Monarch and the Supreme Law were hunted down by the Old Ones, the Corrupted Evil, and the life-bearing planets they ruled were almost completely corrupted and destroyed by the Corrupted Evil."

"At the last moment, when these two true gods were about to be completely driven to the brink of despair, [Absolute Defense] finally emerged out of nowhere. With its unparalleled strength, it launched a counterattack single-handedly, almost annihilating all the [Old Ones]."

"This is the most glorious period in the history of our extraordinary beings so far. However, in a corner of this history that no one knows, the Lord [Error Rule], who is only a Celestial Venerable, accomplished a feat that I consider to be extremely earth-shattering."

The avid tomb raider took another big gulp of wine, seemingly unable to contain his excitement at the upcoming feat accomplished by the "wrong rules," and using alcohol to suppress it.

Surprisingly, he should have finished the flat iron canister in two or three gulps, but this time he gulped down a big mouthful, and when he put the canister down, liquid was still swirling around the mouth of the bottle.

The wine smelled quite pungent; normally, Xia Fa would have insisted on taking a sip, but now his attention was completely captivated by the history being recounted by the fanatical tomb raider. Seeing him finish it, he immediately asked:

"What feat?"

The fanatical tomb raider exhaled a long breath, reeking of alcohol, but his eyes grew increasingly bright:

"It's very simple. He built himself a tomb, and then, by exhausting all of his Celestial Venerable power, spiritual power, and even life force, he desperately countered the tendency to go out of control within him."

"Since his spiritual power was completely exhausted, his soul naturally collapsed and ceased to exist. But precisely because of this, the madness that had accumulated in his spirit due to his rapid progress in the past also dissipated."

"At the same time, although His life force was exhausted, the tendency to go out of control within His body was completely offset."

"He died there, and it appears that he is now resting in that tomb. At the same time, he used the power of the stars to completely conceal his tomb, so that no one but the true gods could find it."

"The true gods don't go out of their way to find the tomb of a Celestial Venerable. In fact, on their path to becoming true gods, they have killed countless opponents and enemies who were Celestial Venerables."

"Oh, by the way, astrology was actually first studied and summarized by the [Error Rule] Master, through the study of the laws governing the movement of stars in the entire universe, and the connections hidden within them."

"That's why, while the true gods were busy annihilating the old rulers and had no time to care about His tomb, the other celestial beings didn't even know what astrology was, so naturally they couldn't find His hidden tomb."

"Days passed by like this, until several years later, six of the current nine Great Gods had already achieved the position of Great God at that time, and were also carrying out their final pursuit of the Old Ones."

"At that time, the First History had not yet become a true god. Therefore, due to the difference in their status, He could not use His Eternal Message or Eternal Intelligence to find the hidden Great Old Ones."

"Therefore, the six true gods led by Absolute Defense and Paradox Joker can only search for the hidden Great Old Ones by conducting a thorough search of the entire universe and the Protoss realm."

"This matter must be done, otherwise, if we are not careful and overlook any of the Great Old Ones, they might take advantage of the six Gods' unpreparedness and destroy most of the universe."

"Therefore, the six gods devoted almost all their energy to eliminating all the remaining Great Old Ones."

"Finally, one day, the Silver Universe discovered one of the Great Old Ones, named High Dimension Hunger."

"The danger posed by this Great Old One is considerable, because the authority it wields makes it inherently fond of devouring everything, especially life-bearing planets. However, it can change its dimension at will, which allows it to evade capture time and time again."

"Of course, He has never encountered Lord [Absolute Defense] head-on. It is only because He is vigilant that He always chooses to observe from a very high dimension and escape in advance at the first sign of trouble. That is how He managed to survive to the end."

"Otherwise, no matter which dimension He ascends or descends to, it would be nothing more than a punch to Lord Absolute Defense."

"At that time, after discovering the 'High Dimensional Hunger,' the 'Silver Universe' immediately chose to send the 'Absolute Defense' and the 'Paradox Joker' over. But even though it reacted very quickly, it was already too late."

"【High-Dimensional Hunger】immediately upon realizing it had been discovered, it hid in an extremely high dimension. In such a dimension, it can ignore distance with a single leap and escape directly to any place in the real world or the Protoss realm to continue hiding."

"But unfortunately, the Silver Universe, as a righteous god possessing eternal space, can also exert arbitrary influence on dimensions, which conveniently hinders His escape."

"Although it has been stalled, it hasn't been completely stalled, because [High Dimensional Hunger] also possesses [Eternal Dimension]. Of course, now the master of [Eternal Dimension] has changed to the source master of the compact star clusters, [Super Dimensional Master], hehe."

"In short, before the Silver Universe could send the Absolute Defense and the Paradox Clown over, the Higher Dimensional Hunger managed to escape."

"Perhaps because He was constantly being hunted down by the gods, and was exhausted both physically and mentally, He finally made a mistake, a fatal mistake."

“This time, during His ascension and escape, He didn’t have time to completely erase the traces He left in the dimensions. I guess it’s also because He was really afraid of encountering [absolute defense]. He fled in a great hurry and didn’t have time to check at all.”

"Based on these traces that were not completely erased, the Silver Universe used the authority of the Eternal Space to finally find the hiding place of the Higher Dimension Hunger once again, but did not pursue it directly."
