I'm not just human!

Xia Fa could see that the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul" was actually severely damaged, and that it had been damaged probably tens of thousands of years ago, whether it was due to damage to its spiritual body or the loss of its most important weapon.

In this situation, the weapon spirit even developed a certain degree of self-awareness. What the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" needs to do now is to wear down the weapon spirit's self-awareness and re-integrate with it.

"I was wrong before. Three Soul Origin Crystals can only heal His body at most, restoring Him to around the level of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable. To truly allow Him to return to the Celestial Venerable rank, the weapon spirit must be fused with Him again..."

Xia Fa couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened to the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul" tens of thousands of years ago? How could he have had his weapons taken away and his body so badly damaged?

It's unlikely that He, as a Mystic Star Spirit, was being hunted down by the Golden Cleansers. If the Golden Cleansers had actually made a move, He would probably have been shattered.

However, if the Silver Cleaner were to pursue him, and the Silver Cleaner were no match for him, even if he formed a battle formation with three hundred Bronze Cleaners, it wouldn't work.

The only possibility seems to be those three giant-like Celestial Venerables. Before setting up the tomb and undergoing the transformation and ascension, although they were only Quasi-Celestial Venerables, capturing a Mystic Star Spirit that was also a Quasi-Celestial Venerable but had no consciousness and only instincts should not be difficult for them...

The matter concerning the three giant-like celestial beings is too mysterious, and the information obtained is scarce. Even if Xia Fa wanted to investigate, he couldn't.

In particular, His inexplicable recognition of him left Xiafa completely baffled.

"what?"

Just as he was thinking, Xia Fa suddenly noticed something and grabbed at the pieces of flesh on the ground.

With a "whoosh," a high-grade black pouch flew up and landed directly in his palm.

This black bag was actually woven from elongated metal wires made of the sacred metal "Whispering Stars Mystic Titanium." Although it only used a single piece of Whispering Stars Mystic Titanium the size of a walnut, it was still considered extremely extravagant.

"This kid's background is indeed extraordinary. Only a being of the rank of a true god could afford to bestow such a reward, right?"

Xia Fa pondered, his spiritual intuition probing deeper.

His eyes lit up immediately. In this black bag, there was not only the Soul Origin Crystal he had seen before, but also an Old Fruit covered with bone spurs and fleshy buds!

He had already made a fortune from the Soul Origin Crystal alone, but he never expected to also get an Ancient Fruit!

A surge of joy welled up in Xia Fa's heart, but suddenly his spiritual intuition kicked in, and he noticed the third item in the black bag.

It was a thin gold sheet, hidden in a corner of this black bag, a space comparable in size to a city. It gave the impression that even the "nemesis of gods" was extremely cautious about it and unwilling to expose it in the slightest.

The gold plate was about the size of a palm, covered with layers upon layers of tiny characters, numbering in the hundreds of thousands at first glance.

Moreover, it does not use universally understood scripts such as "Putong language," "Fangyan script," or "Sichuan script," nor is it a secret script or ancient secret script, but rather—

A variant text commonly used in the era of mutants!

In fact, if Xia Fa hadn't traveled back to the mutant era by running a kilometer through physical exercise, he wouldn't have been able to recognize what kind of script it was.

Fortunately, he possessed fragmented memories of two mutants from the mutant era, "Lorete" and "Benil," including their general education, which allowed him to recognize them.

"This is……"

Xia Fa immediately focused his attention and scanned the first line of the gold tablets, trying to figure out what was written on them.

"This character seems to be pronounced... zhi?"

"Yes, that's right, it's pronounced 'zhi', and the second character is 'gao', so 'zhigao'?"

"The supreme... art of... slaughter..."

The ultimate art of slaughter?

What the heck?

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback, but immediately, it was as if an electric current surged through his mind, causing his whole body to shudder and his scalp to feel like it was about to explode.

Wait, the supreme art of slaughter!

Isn't this the terrifying, supreme combat tactic that all the Cleaners have mastered?

Moreover, bronze cleaners can only grasp the basics, silver cleaners can only grasp a fraction of it, and only gold cleaners can fully master it!

At this moment, Xia Fa suddenly remembered that when [Godslayer] got tired of teasing him and started to use his trump card, the power and feeling of it was indeed very similar to the supreme killing technique used by the Bronze Cleaner that he had encountered in the Critical Strike Maze.

Moreover, the Bronze Cleaner in the Critical Strike Maze's mastery of supreme killing techniques is far less than one percent of that of [Godslayer]!

Recalling how the "Godslayer" had nearly driven him to the brink of despair with a particular move of the Supreme Killing Technique, and then thinking that the cultivation method for what appeared to be that Supreme Killing Technique was now in his hands, Xia Fa felt a surge of excitement.

The only question is whether I, as an extraordinary being, am capable of cultivation.

"Hmm... Once this matter is over, I'll go back and give it a try. Whatever the chances, I'll take a shot..."

Xiafa made a decision immediately, and soon discovered a new path.

That is, once I can truly master this supreme killing technique, I can ask Gastis the Great Axe to teach me!

As for why he hadn't thought of this before... In fact, if he hadn't witnessed firsthand that the [Godslayer] could use supreme killing techniques and hadn't found this cultivation method, he would have always thought that only the Cleaners could master and use it.

"Adding the Soul Origin Crystal in the family's secret stash, we only need one more crystal to completely heal the Iron-Blooded Conqueror 'Paul'..."

Seeing the fruitful results this time, Xia Fa was overjoyed. Not to mention, the life-or-death battle with the [Gods' Nemesis] had completely transformed him.

That's right, just now, at the moment when he was almost killed by the [Gods' Nemesis], he finally comprehended the cultivation method of the "Mutation" system.

That is, to constantly explore oneself and push one's potential to the limit!

Just like this time, the six god-level mutations I possess have changed from being roughly equivalent to the six hegemon-level secret contracts I just signed to being hegemon-level secret contracts that have all progressed to about 20% of the comprehension progress!

That is why he possessed a completely new form, allowing him to fuse the six mutations together and use them freely.

Instead of having to flap its wings to use the extreme speed of the "Six-Winged Sun Bird" and entering the corresponding fully mutated form to use the immense power of the "Lion of Turmoil and Conflict" as before.

Now, he can directly integrate the speed of the "Six-Winged Sun Bird" into himself, and similarly, he can also add the immense power of the "Lion of Turmoil and Conflict" to every move he makes in battle!

As for how to continue developing and exploring... Xia Fa understood that the only way was probably to find more incredibly powerful enemies like these.

"Xia, Xiafa? Oh no, [Absolute Attack] Lord, what do you think we should do next..."

Suddenly, a melodious voice rang out. Xia Fa turned his head and saw it was the [Star Spirit Banshee].

Perhaps because she had just displayed her strength, the [Star Spirit Banshee] was incredibly kind to him, even showing a hint of awe and humility, and finally a charming smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, she continued:

"Since you are a member of the Prometheus family, then we—"

Unexpectedly, before the Star Spirit Banshee could finish speaking, the group of Outer Gods behind her immediately caused a sensation.

"What? Lord [Absolute Attack] is a member of the Prometheus family?"

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner!"

"Then what are we still doing here? Aren't we offending Lord [Absolute Attack]? You should know that this is his family's secret treasure!"

"Yes, we can't compete with Lord [Absolute Attack] for it. What kind of nonsense is it to steal someone else's family's secret treasure? Lord [Absolute Attack], I fully support you in reclaiming your family's secret treasure!"

"Me too!"

"Even if Lord [Absolute Attack] hadn't saved our lives, we would never have tried to steal them."

"Yes, Lord [Absolute Attack], you can handle your family's secret treasure yourself. We'll head out now, but it might take up a little of your time."

"Why be so roundabout? I'll just be blunt. Lord [Absolute Attack], you saved our lives, and we certainly want to repay you properly. We're planning a feast to honor you in the City of Gold Pounds!"

"You absolutely must come, Lord [Absolute Attack]! We really don't know how to repay you if you don't come."

Seeing this group of gods who previously seemed aloof, unapproachable, or unwelcome suddenly become so enthusiastic, Xia Fa was still a little unaccustomed to it.

However, he wasn't the type to put on airs. Seeing this, he smiled slightly and said:

"Okay, thank you all for thinking so highly of me, I will definitely come!"

Seeing that Xia Fa was so approachable, the gods present felt even more favorably toward him. After greeting him, they all flew toward the outside of the inverted pyramid.

It was only then that Xia Fa realized that the "narrator," who was a physical entity, had disappeared at some point, and that the first layer of the inverted pyramid had been opened, which was why the gods were able to fly out.

Soon, only Kazimir remained inside the inverted pyramid.

Kazimir seemed to be waiting here on purpose, as if he had something to say to Shafa, but as a transcendent monarch, his status among the gods was too lowly, so he did not speak.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Xia Fa did not change his attitude at all. He did not turn his back on others just because he had displayed strength comparable to a quasi-Celestial Venerable or gained the sincere respect from the gods. Seeing this, he smiled and was about to ask Kazimir what he wanted to say.

Just then, a golden figure flashed before his eyes and landed in front of him.

Xia Ding looked closely and was stunned.

"Ancestor? How did you get in?"

Chapter 396 The God-level Secret Hidden in Xia Fa's Family Has Finally Been Obtained—And It's Actually This? (Part 1)

Xia Fa never expected that his ancestor would actually defy the rules of that Celestial Venerable and break into this inverted pyramid.

However, he soon understood why, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Needless to say, it must have been that our ancestor, while watching the battle from outside, saw [God's Nemesis] preparing to attack everyone and, worried about his safety, rushed in without regard for anything else.

Fortunately, his battle with the "Gods' Nemesis," though seemingly complex, involved a fight at a near-celestial level and was actually extremely fast, lasting only a blink of an eye.

Otherwise, if the ancestor really rushed to this second level and attacked the [Gods' Nemesis] to protect himself, and was accidentally killed... Xia Fazhen felt that he would have a lifelong regret.

"My descendant, you are truly amazing! You have been hiding your true abilities! You are indeed worthy of being a member of the Gilgamesh family!"

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh appeared extremely excited, his face flushed, his eyes shining, and he grabbed Shafa's hand in one swift motion:

"To be able to unleash the combat power of a quasi-Celestial Venerable from the level of a god, my descendant, do you know what this means?"

Xia Fa might not have known before, but seeing a group of extra-gods praising him so lavishly, and combining that with his recent learning of esoteric knowledge above the divine level, he discerned some clues and smiled modestly.

"Ancestor, having the potential to become a true god does not mean that you will definitely become a true god."

Gilgamesh, however, spoke with a resolute tone and an excited expression:

"You're different. You're completely different from other geniuses. People like this [God Buster] have the potential to become true gods, so they can fight against quasi-celestial beings even at the outer god level. But someone like you, who can fight against quasi-celestial beings even at the god level, has the potential to become the strongest true gods like [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Clown]!"

Not far away, Kazimir's body trembled upon hearing this.

Xia Fa... actually has the potential to rival Lord [Absolute Defense] and Lord [Paradox Clown]?

If realizing that Xiafa had become a god was the first shock Xiafa brought to Him, then witnessing Xiafa kill the [Slayer of Gods] was the second.

And now, this is the third time!

Kazimir never imagined that his opponent, who was evenly matched with him in the Super Fighting Grand Prix just over half a month ago, would now be qualified to become the strongest god!

He couldn't help but feel a sense of fantasy and absurdity, while at the same time feeling fortunate that he was a friend of Xiafa!

Hearing his ancestor's equally generous praise, Xia Fa was almost embarrassed, so he deliberately changed the subject and said:
