I'm not just human!

"Are you stupid? I'm an old man, you're the one who needs me more, I... sigh..."

He sighed and shook his head, as if he felt that using the ancient fruits of the Paradoxical Singularity on himself was a complete waste.

"Fine, it's done now. Descendant, you keep this. This time, you'll have to use it yourself."

Suddenly, He flipped His palm, and an ancient fruit of the Paradoxical Singularity, which looked almost identical, appeared in His palm.

Without a word, He handed it to Shaphat, giving him no room to refuse.

Xia Faren was dumbfounded. What was going on? Was there more than one ancient fruit of the Paradoxical Singularity?

Gilgamesh, however, simply smiled:

"【Paradoxic Singularity】, as you can tell from the name, has a close relationship with Lord 【Paradoxic Joker】. In fact, He died at the hands of Lord 【Paradoxic Joker】. Lord 【Paradoxic Joker】 made full use of this Great Old One’s flesh and blood to cultivate many Great Old Ones, and these few are the ones He bestowed upon me."

Xia Fa was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

"All right……"

Gilgamesh then patted Shafa's shoulder forcefully:

“Descendants, your ancestor was right about you. You’re even willing to let me use such a precious treasure.”

He paused, then changed the subject:

"Actually, I have investigated your special nature, especially why you are able to sign one hegemon-level secret contract after another. But even my [Eternal Secret] cannot find out. Everything about you is like a thick fog in the face of the [Eternal Secret]."

"If it weren't for our blood ties, and the fact that my descendants are indeed more likely to sign hegemonic-level secret contracts, I probably wouldn't have been able to uncover the secret that allows you to consistently sign hegemonic-level secret contracts."

"However, you are my descendant, my grandson. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone anything about you, not even if Lord Paradox Clown asks me, hahaha."

A sincere smile also appeared on Xia Fa's face:

“Ancestor, you don’t need to do this. I completely trust you.”

He had originally wanted to ask his ancestors if they could use their blood ties, along with the authority of the "Eternal Secret," to help him investigate his origins, but now it seemed unlikely.

Similarly, their ancestors probably couldn't investigate what exactly happened 30,000 years ago through the "Secret of Eternity." That was the only major event in the world that transcended the level of a true god. Their ancestors probably would have lost control or had their heads explode if they had even dared to touch it, and they would never have recovered.

Gilgamesh, however, smiled and continued:

"Alright, go inside. I'll cheer you on from outside, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. If someone else wins the family's secret treasure, and things get really bad, I'll see if I can use my connections to help you get back something related to that secret."

Xia Fa nodded solemnly:

"it is good!"

Without exchanging further pleasantries, knowing they could reunite later, Xia Fa decisively turned around and flew towards the entrance of the inverted pyramid.

By this time, there weren't many people left at the entrance. Everyone who could go in had gone in, while those who hadn't gathered around the inverted pyramid. Some of the gods and outer gods used their respective powers to try and watch the battle.

There was even a particularly enthusiastic god who built a ring of stands outside the inverted pyramid, resembling an ancient Roman gladiator, and called out to others to take their seats.

Xia Fa found it quite novel, discovering that once one reaches the level of a god or above, many things in this world are indeed different. Even watching a battle can be forced, and an audience can be built on-site.

"Fortunately, if my ancestor hadn't been rescued by the mysterious person these past few days, and if I hadn't coincidentally asked about the secret hidden in our Prometheus family's secret repository, I probably would have inadvertently overlooked it and only cared about that Soul Origin Crystal..."

and many more! ! !

Just as he was about to fly into the entrance of the inverted pyramid, Xia Fa suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A flash of light seemed to pierce through the deep darkness.

More than 10,000 years ago, the ninth true god, believed to be worshipped by the Church of Destiny, helped the head of the Prometheus family escape and guarded the secret of the true god hidden in the family's treasury...

Then, just days before the family's secret treasure was about to open, his ancestor, Gilgamesh, was rescued from the out-of-control corruption by a mysterious and exceptionally powerful figure...

The ancestor happened to possess one of the strongest proofs of eternity, the [Secret of Eternity]. Because of the family's secret treasure, he came to participate in the competition and coincidentally ran into the ancestor. As they talked, they talked about the secret treasure...

As Xia Fa thought of this, a chill involuntarily surged from his spine to the back of his head, as if he had fallen into a huge net woven by an invisible giant hand.

In other words, putting everything else aside, at least regarding the matter of the divine-level secrets hidden in the Prometheus family's secret repository... it has always been the Ninth God of the Church of Destiny secretly instigating this.

He guessed that He would come, so He rescued His ancestor Gilgamesh in advance and used Him to tell Him the importance of that secret.

What exactly is this secret, and why is it so important that it not only prompted the Gold Cleaners to take action more than 10,000 years ago, but also made the Ninth God of the Church of Destiny spend 10,000 years laying out a plan?

And what role did I play in the Ninth God's scheme? Was I a dark horse who accidentally stumbled into His scheme, or was this scheme set up specifically for me?

By now, Xia Fa had long understood his special nature, not only because of the various secrets he possessed, but also because of a crucial point: the "Apostle of Knowledge" seemed to have seen him more than 30,000 years ago.

Therefore, he didn't necessarily think of himself as just an insignificant pawn who accidentally stumbled into the Ninth God's tens of thousands of years of planning, and he also considered the possibility that this scheme was set up for him.

However, in any case, the Ninth God's painstaking efforts were clearly aimed at giving him that secret, at least for now.

However, whether or not you can get it depends on your own abilities.

Thinking this, Xia Fa suddenly accelerated and rushed into the dark opening of the inverted pyramid.

……

"Welcome everyone to the first-ever All-Spirits Battle Tournament in the entire universe!"

As soon as Xia Fa rushed in, he heard a rather familiar voice.

The voice was rough, bold, and full of passion, as if it could instantly arouse people's enthusiasm to the extreme.

Moreover, it sounds exactly like the tone of voice used by commentators at various major sporting events.

Xia Ding looked closely and saw that the first level of this inverted pyramid, which was equivalent to the largest level of the pyramid, actually had a series of battle platforms for the spirits.

And in the very center of the arena, under the spotlight that appeared out of nowhere, was... a "real" commentator holding a microphone and giving commentary!

"There are a total of 107 contestants participating in this All Spirits Battle Tournament. Well... in this first round of preliminary selection, one of them will have to skip the round."

"The person who gets a bye, your number ball will light up. The others who don't get a bye, please take your number balls to the corresponding battle stage to participate in the first round of the preliminary round!"

"As for where this numbered ball is, everyone, just check your pockets or coat pockets, hahaha!"

Whether it was Xia Fa or the other gods present, they were all stunned upon hearing this, and each reached into their pockets.

Then, they actually pulled out a colored numbered ball.

Xia Fa felt the same way. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Truly worthy of being a 'physical entity,' it is as magical as ever."

After glancing at the number he had drawn, Xia Fa flew towards the number 18 battle platform.

The fighting platform was built from a single block of rock, and it looks like a boxing ring, but there is a chair on the front and back sides, obviously for the contestants to sit on.

As for the battle arena itself, it is naturally up to the "spirits" that the contestants have each contracted to to fight against each other.

Xia Fa had just sat down on the stone chair marked "36" when he looked up and saw an unexpected opponent.

Just then, the opponent looked over in utter surprise.

"Xia Fa, is that you?"

Chapter 388 Goblin Outer Gods vs. Shafa's Mystic Star Spirits? Unprecedented!

Xia Fa hadn't expected that he would meet an old friend, or rather, an old rival, on the first level of this inverted pyramid.

The man opposite was tall and slender, dressed in a white suit, his blond hair neatly combed, a single-linked spectacle perched on his right eye, and his expression rather stern—it was…

In the Super Fighting Grand Prix for the Golden Beacon Scroll, his first opponent was Kazimierz!

Kazimierz was originally a good friend of Tefal, but after losing to him in the Super Fighting Grand Prix, he gradually faded from everyone's sight.

According to Tefaro, it seems that He was spurred by shame and went to cultivate diligently in the earthly kingdom of the [Silver Universe].

Now, Xia Fa could truly sense that Kazimir, the man opposite him, was already an extraordinary monarch!

Just over half a month ago, He was only an angel-level overlord. I have to say, He has grown really fast.

Of course, just half a month ago he was only an Eagle-level transcendent, but now he's almost an Outer God, only one Overlord-level secret contract away from becoming one...

"I never expected to run into you here, Xia Fa."

Kazimir's voice was filled with emotion as he continued:

"In the last battle, I didn't realize until the very end that you were actually a future Mystic Emperor. My defeat was not unjust. But this time, I am already a transcendent monarch. No matter what, I will not lose to you again!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa immediately realized something and said with considerable surprise:

"You didn't just come out of seclusion in Lord Silver Universe's earthly divine kingdom, did you?"

Kazimir said in surprise:

"How did you know? Actually, I was planning to calm myself down a bit more, because I only broke through to the level of Extraordinary Monarch a few days ago. But this morning, I received intelligence from the intelligence department of the Solar Prominence Nebula Legion that a Soul Origin Crystal had been born, so I rushed over here."

As He spoke, He sighed:

"I really didn't expect to run into you, Xia Fa. It seems we are truly destined rivals."

Seeing that his guess had come true, Xia Fa couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.

Because Casimir has been in seclusion until now, he certainly doesn't know that he has become the Holy Spirit of Destiny...

He was about to say a few words of advice to Kazimir when, just then, the passionate voice of the physical "interpreter" rang out once again.

"All contestants, are you all ready?"

"Therefore, I hereby declare the first All-Spirit Battle Tournament, Preliminary Rounds, open now—"

"start!"

With a hum, an invisible force field spread out, instantly covering every part of the first level of the inverted pyramid.

All the contestants were forced to stay in their seats, and they could all see the large countdown on the battle stage not far in front of them.

Above the countdown was a spotlight, which illuminated the countdown and was undoubtedly a manifestation of the rules of the "narrator" entity.

And the countdown is ticking away rapidly.

3!

2!

1!

Just before the countdown ended, Xia Fa had a sudden thought. In his spiritual intuition, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" slowly opened its eyes and flashed onto the battle stage.

He was still wearing that purplish-black armor, his hands resting on his sword, looking as majestic as a general, or as a king who rules over all things.

Immediately following, a buzzing sound rang out, and a black beetle appeared opposite the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul".

Compared to when I last saw it at the Super Fighting Grand Prix, this Protoss named "World Devourer" is significantly larger. Its originally plain, matte carapace is now covered with mysterious patterns, making it look like it has reached adulthood.

Not to mention that now that he has signed with the Protoss Archon, Xia Fa can recognize what kind of Protoss it is at a glance. In fact, after fighting with Kazimierz, he had specifically looked up information about it.
