I'm not just human!

"Make a contract with me..."

Suddenly, Xia Fa sensed that the iron-blooded warrior "Paoer" standing before him, leaning on his sword, was sending him an instinctive call.

This call was similar to the one it had heard when it encountered the three-headed giant-like deity before; it came purely from its instincts, like the roar of a wild beast.

"Make a contract with me..."

Seeing the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" summoned for the second time, Xia Fa's expression turned solemn, and he extended a hand.

The iron-blooded conqueror "Paoer" actually knelt on one knee, like a knight facing a king, allowing Xiafa's hand to be placed on its head.

The only secret ability of the "Star Spirit Master" was activated, and an extremely complex rune emerged from between Xia Fa's eyebrows, passed through his palm, and flew into the head of the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul".

The next moment, with a thought from Xia Fa, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" actually stood up.

He raised one hand, and the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" also raised one hand.

He made a gesture of clenching his fists as if to swing a sword, and the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" also swung his sword directly.

He shook his head slightly, making a sighing gesture, and the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" also shook his head and sighed.

He immediately changed his expression, revealing a cheerful smile, and the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" also grinned.

He sat down on the ground, and the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" sat down next to him.

"So this is what a possessing spirit looks like when it's not possessing someone..."

Xia Fa nodded slightly, just about to play around with... no, explore the situation after possession a little longer, when suddenly, two vague desires came from the instincts of the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul".

The first kind of desire is to be close to his master, like a horse wanting to rub its cheek against its master.

The second kind of desire, however, carries a slight pain: the pain of physical disability, and the desire for healing.

Having successfully formed a contract with the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul," who was practically his most trustworthy and unwavering partner, Xiafa almost immediately had the idea of ​​healing it upon sensing the second kind of yearning.

Moreover, needless to say, the damaged Ironblood Conqueror "Paul" is already at the level of an Outer God. If it is healed, it can be directly restored to the level of a Celestial Venerable!

If that thing were to possess my body again...

However, based on his limited knowledge of occultism, only legendary supreme artifacts such as the "Soul Origin Crystal" or the "Gathering Dust of All Spirits" might be able to cure the iron-blooded conqueror "Paul".

Supreme sacred objects are rare treasures second only to supreme divine objects. Like high-level sealed objects, they are basically born under various coincidences.

“Soul Origin Crystals... Three should be enough to completely heal it.”

"As for the dust from the gathering of all spirits, there must be five full clumps..."

"But even a single Soul Essence Crystal can at least help stabilize its condition and restore it to the peak of Outer God level. It's severely damaged and its condition is somewhat unstable..."

Xia Fazheng pondered where he could obtain these two supreme sacred objects and what price he would have to pay. Of course, he would accept any price as long as it was within his capabilities.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, reached into a black pouch at his waist with one hand, and took out an envelope.

This is a "heart-to-heart envelope," capable of enabling communication across distances throughout the universe, although the farther apart the distance, the slower the message travels.

"Who messaged me?"

Xia Fa murmured jokingly as he opened the envelope containing his heartfelt message, but his pupils immediately contracted.

That was news about my cousin Wan Xing's father.

"Shafa, the secret treasure of our Prometheus family is about to be opened! I have recently investigated it thoroughly, and there are many treasures of our family inside, especially the most crucial one, a supreme sacred object, the Soul Origin Crystal!"

Chapter 384 Even the Heavenly Venerable and the Outer Gods are considered Xia Fa Niang's family?

Soul Essence Crystal?

Xia Fa was overjoyed. He never expected to obtain it so easily, and even felt a little bit of unreality.

For the first time, finally, he encountered a situation where a pillow was delivered to him when he was sleepy.

In the past, no matter what he wanted, he had to go through countless hardships to get it. Whether it was the "Miracle Fantasy" that was the most crucial to becoming a true god in the Overlord-level secret contract, or the "Eternal Critical Strike" that he needed the most and that had the greatest impact on his future path, he had to go through great lengths and face countless dangers to obtain it.

And this time, the Soul Origin Crystal, which is crucial to both himself and his Mystic Star Spirit Ironblood Conqueror "Paul", is about to be within his grasp!

Well, it's not exactly easy to get, since you still have to go to the hidden place, but it shouldn't be too difficult overall.

Thinking this, Xia Fa picked up the envelope containing his heartfelt message, preparing to send a message to ask his cousin where the secret treasure was.

Without taking out paper and pen, he simply summoned a wisp of spiritual intuition, gathered it into the shape of a pen tip, and began to write on the envelope containing his thoughts.

“To Cousin Hercules Prometheus”

"I haven't seen you for a very long time, and I miss you terribly. I often think of the happy times when we used to fish on the beach in Rum City when we were kids and then grill and eat the fish right there. I'm contacting you for no other reason than to ask where our family's secret hideout is?"

“Your dear cousin, Shaphat Gilgamesh.”

This was actually the first time he had ever written a message on a greeting envelope so formally; before, he had only exchanged brief messages with his friends.

As for why it's so formal... well, I have some free time right now, so I'm just writing this for fun.

Seeing that it was finished, Xia Fa immediately waited patiently.

A minute passed quickly.

Then, two minutes passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed...

Xia Fa began to regret writing so long. He thought his cousin, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, would reply soon, which was why he deliberately teased Him.

But now it seems that his cousin is very, very far away from where he is, and no new message has appeared on the envelope after more than ten minutes.

The coordinates of the small world I am in are very well hidden, but it is roughly in the void around the planet Kaligi, it's just that no one can find it.

In about ten minutes... my cousin would probably no longer be on Caligi, but in a relatively remote place in the Wright Star System, such as a natural star system.

Or, it could be in the Protoss realm.

Finally, after waiting for more than twenty minutes, the message from my cousin appeared on the envelope.

Fortunately, my cousin is, after all, a pirate emperor. His abilities and skills are among the best of the extraordinary monarchs. This time, he realized that it would be quite difficult for the two of them to communicate when they were separated by almost a star field, so he sent a long string of text messages.

"Hey cousin, don't scare me. Why are you making such a formality? Are you afraid the rest of the Prometheus family will see this? Hahaha."

"Our family's secret treasure should not have been opened so early. In fact, it should have been opened by someone with the blood of a member of the Prometheus family, especially someone with higher talent, who would be more likely to open it."

"However, the reason for opening it earlier now is because it has been affected by the battle between an Outer God and a Silver Cleaner."

A great battle between the Outer Gods and the Silver Cleaners?

Xia Fa's eyes narrowed, realizing that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Since this Outer God was able to fight the Silver Cleaners, he must be at least at the peak of the Outer God realm, like the [Undying Mummy] and the [Crimson Tree].

Of course, there's also one of my most pressing enemies right now, the Web Crawler, who possesses the power of eternal probability.

Speaking of the Web-Weaving Crawler, since it was able to disguise itself as the Crimson Tree and attack me, and given that the Crimson Agent did indeed ascend to the realm of the true god, the Brief Reality, through the Crimson Tree,

Therefore, Xia Fa suspects that the Web Crawler may have already submitted to the Brief Reality and disguised itself as the Crimson Demon Tree to work for the Brief Reality while simultaneously controlling the Wandering Treehouse.

As for why, the reason is quite obvious.

The fake Nine True Gods dared not reveal their identities as the real Nine True Gods, fearing a backlash from all the extraordinary beings in the universe. So they waited quietly for the more than 10,000 Golden Cleansers to fully awaken.

In this situation, the Crimson Demon Tree, being relatively upright, abandoned the organization after discovering that Brief Reality had joined the Cleaners' camp, which naturally made it easy for them to be exposed.

It is probably because of this that the Web Crawler, a race of "Children of Disguise" unknown to the Protoss, had the opportunity to climb onto the "Temporary Reality" and then disguise themselves as the "Crimson Tree" to do things for this true god.

"I wonder what the Web-Weaving Crawler is plotting lately. I hope we don't run into it this time. But, a peak Outer God who can fight the Silver Cleaner shouldn't be it..."

Thinking this way, Xia Fa felt a little more at ease, but also felt a bit regretful.

After all, with the incredibly powerful Star Spirit "Paul," the Iron-Blooded Conqueror, he could still put up a fight against peak Outer Gods.

The only problem is that it only lasts for a very short time, probably only a few seconds, and then the divine power in one's body will be quickly drained.

At that point, they would have to rely on the power of the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul" as the Star Spirit himself, but even that wouldn't last long against a peak Outer God.

This may be the only drawback of possessing spirits; compared to normal spirits, they have much less supernatural power within them, since they mainly rely on possession.

Previously, in the great tomb that the Quasi-Celestial Venerable had transformed into, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" had gathered the strange fragments of flesh from dozens of Outer Gods before possessing them.

The remaining power of the Outer Gods within was equivalent to at least several peak Outer Gods. Combined with the inherent strength of the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul," it was able to overpower three peak Outer Gods, including the Crimson Demon Tree.

If it were me, having relatively little divine power would be a big problem. I'd probably have to wait until I become an Outer God before I wouldn't have to worry about it so much, but thankfully that's not far off.

“I remember that, according to the second orthodox path to godhood recorded in the Golden Beacon Scroll, to become an Outer God, I needed eight Overlord-level secret contracts plus two kinds of eternal credentials…”

"So, after becoming a god, all you need to do is sign three more overlord-level secret contracts and obtain a certificate to absorb eternity?"

Xia Fa did the math and realized that all he was missing was a Hegemon-level Secret Contract!

As for absorbing the [Eternal Error], there's no way around it; it's destined to be very slow before one has signed the overlord-level secret contracts required to become an Outer God.

Absorbing it slowly like this would take at least several hundred years, but as long as another overlord-level secret contract is signed, namely the [Primal Stomach], it will probably be able to absorb it in just a few seconds, just like when it absorbed the [Eternal Critical Strike] last time.

As for the reason, Xia Fa speculated that it might be a problem with the body's tolerance.

In other words, one must sign three overlord-level secret contracts and reach a body and status close to the peak of a god before one can withstand the changes brought about by absorbing the [Eternal Error] all at once.

Otherwise, with his current physical condition and status, he might not be able to withstand such an exaggeratedly rapid absorption.

Absorbing it slowly is fine, but hundreds of years is indeed too slow.

Therefore, in this situation, it's definitely better to focus on advancing the understanding of the [Celestial Spirit Master], then sign the [Primal Stomach], so that the [Eternal Error] can be quickly absorbed afterward.

"It seems that many Star Spirit Masters who have signed contracts or transcendents who specialize in Spirit Control Pacts have mentioned that, in addition to advancing their understanding of this type of pact by fighting enemies of much higher rank, they can also advance it by controlling the spirits of the contract to fight?"

"Could even subduing powerful spirits advance the process of understanding?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. It seemed that he had to put the search for the overclocked speedster "Speed" and the fear priest "Fletted" on the agenda.

Not only do we need to ask this fanatical tomb raider for help in the search, but we also need to put in a lot of effort ourselves.

After calming down and becoming more certain about his next move, Xia Fa continued reading the message his cousin had sent.

"Originally, at the beginning of the third millennium of the universe, which is more than 10,000 years ago, after our Prometheus family suffered a catastrophic disaster, the head of the family at that time—a transcendental lord—risked his life to hide the family's secret treasure in the Protoss Realm."

"But that was only set up by the patriarch, who was a transcendent monarch. Even a god could easily break through it, let alone be affected by the war between the Outer Gods and the Silver Cleaners?"

"By the way, cousin, ever since you told me about the existence of the Cleaners a few days ago, I've been wondering if the sudden annihilation of our family more than ten thousand years ago... was done by the Cleaners?"

Xia Fa's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw this!

Wait a minute, now that you mention it, it actually seems like that's a possibility?

He had once heard his cousin recount the fate of his mother's family. The Prometheus family was once so prosperous that it rivaled the three great divine families, including the Starry Dragon family, but it had never received the protection of any true god. Nevertheless, it remained powerful and prosperous.
