I'm not just human!

"You know her too?"

Gilgamesh was the first to calm down and said:

"【Star Envoy】, she was a highly renowned quasi-Celestial Venerable in our era. She had countless suitors, but none of them could truly catch her eye. Her beauty and strength were both impressive. However, she mysteriously disappeared more than ten thousand years ago..."

After a pause, Gilgamesh added:

"Oh, by the way, the [Star Envoy]'s hair and eyes are the color of the starry sky, which is a little different from this girl's, but the resemblance is just too striking..."

Xia Fa understood that the era of his ancestors was actually shortly after the birth of extraordinary beings, which was more than 30,000 years ago.

However, unlike the era when the Nine Great Gods emerged, the era of the Ancestor was a little later. Specifically, when the Ancestor was born, the Nine Great Gods had already turned against and besieged the Old Ones, and the universe had already become prosperous.

However, precisely because of this, Xia Fa's surprise and curiosity rose even higher, almost uncontrollably.

He had suspected that Princess Foufrio was Orph when he first saw her true face. Later, he witnessed Princess Foufrio transform back into Orph after her incomplete body fell off the mysterious treasure "Dancing King Mask".

At that time, not only did her personality change drastically, transforming from the aloofness of the Shark Princess to the haughtiness of Orph, but even her hair and eye color changed back from burgundy to seaweed color.

Later, Xia Fa speculated that the true soul of the Shark Princess might be hidden inside the "Dancing King Mask," and whoever wore the Dancing King Mask would be the Shark Princess. However, this speculation had obvious problems.

Because the King of Dance Mask itself does not have the ability to change a person's appearance, while the Shark Princess has been active in the Baron Ocean for hundreds of years and has always appeared in that form.

In other words, if she had taken off her mask hundreds of years ago, she might have been able to turn back into Off, but Off was only born a little over twenty years ago.

Considering that both Ofo and Foufre were his friends, Shafa didn't delve any further into their secrets, but now...

Looking at the girl who looked exactly like Off and Fufreio, and considering that this place was the third level of the inverted pyramid, it was hard for Shafa not to have any suspicions.

At this moment, the two observed quietly, both wanting to see if the girl would show any unusual behavior next.

Even before entering the third level of the inverted pyramid, Gilgamesh had used the "Secret of Eternity" to conceal them, so even if they stood not far from the hut, they were not afraid of being seen by the girl.

"Ancestor, have you discovered it?"

"Hmm, it seems you've noticed too."

"She...is just a mortal?"

"Yes, that's interesting..."

Soon, as his spiritual intuition reached out and then receded, Xia Fa discovered this astonishing fact.

This girl, who looks exactly like Auf except for her platinum blonde hair and eyes, is not a superhuman at all!

There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of extraordinary power within his body!

Now, the two, who had no intention of showing themselves anyway, were even more determined not to disturb her.

In this extraordinary world full of mystery, if you encounter such an obviously bizarre existence, nothing will happen if you don't disturb it. But if you do disturb it... not to mention anything else, this inverted pyramid is related to a celestial being. If something really happens, the two of them simply can't withstand it.

"The entrance to the next floor is right there, shall we go straight there?"

Gilgamesh performed a brief divination and immediately gestured towards the stream. At the same time, he very respectfully inquired about Shafa's opinion, a stark contrast to his previous attitude of directly dragging Shafa to compete for the secret treasure.

Xia Fa nodded slightly:

"Yeah, I think so too. It's better to just go there."

While the grandmother and granddaughter were talking, the girl had finished her tea and was picking up a spoon to eat the tiramisu cake little by little. The cake was covered with a thin layer of chocolate powder and filled with jam and cream, making it look quite exquisite.

The girl hummed a song as she ate, appearing so content and at ease, as if she felt no loneliness living alone there.

Xia Fa gave her a deep look, then followed his ancestor and flew towards the small river.

One was a god, and the other was an external god; they could easily dive into the river without causing the slightest ripple.

However, as soon as they sneaked inside, they were both stunned.

What they found at the bottom of the river was a completely different scene; to be precise, this seemed to be the true "test" of the third level of the inverted pyramid.

The riverbed, covered with silt, has four battle platforms, each emitting a shimmering glow and separated from the river water.

Xia Fa immediately realized that if it weren't for the sudden attack by the [Gods' Nemesis], which caused the "Commentator" entity to malfunction and prevented the All Spirits Battle Tournament from continuing, the top eight from the second round of elimination matches would have directly arrived at this small river after entering the third level of the inverted pyramid.

Moreover, there's a high probability they won't be able to leave the river, meaning they won't even be able to see the fields and thatched cottages, or the girl in the thatched cottage who looks exactly like Fufreio.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xia Fa's mind, and he realized something, looking at his ancestor.

"Ancestor, do you know who the celestial being who created this inverted pyramid was?"

Chapter 398 The God-level Secret Hidden in Xia Fa's Family Has Finally Been Obtained—And It's Actually This? (Part 2)

Why are you asking this?

Gilgamesh asked in surprise, but when it came to his own descendants, he was always ready to grant their requests, and without hesitation, he replied:

"I didn't know that before, but while watching the battle outside, based on other people's discussions, I did some calculations, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be [Primordial Saintess]."

"【Primordial Saintess】?"

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback; this honorific name sounded extraordinary.

Gilgamesh nodded:

"Hmm, she was originally hailed as the most promising candidate to become the tenth true god in the past ten thousand years. Unfortunately, she was still stuck at the Heavenly Venerable level and could not make any progress. As for now, she seems to be on the front line of the Star Spirit Natural Starfield, fighting against the Cleaners."

Xia Fa noticed that in his ancestor's words, the term used to refer to this Heavenly Venerable was "she," although he didn't understand how he could tell that "she" and "he" were pronounced the same.

However, he still checked it again:

"This [Primordial Saintess] is probably a woman, right?"

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh's face showed a strange expression, while his eyes held a hint of gossip:

"What, my descendant, do you intend to pursue this Celestial Venerable?"

Just as Xia Fa was about to deny it, Gilgamesh suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with great praise:

"Great job, descendant! Your ancestor supports you! If you can bring home a Celestial Venerable for our Gilgamesh family, you'll be incredibly awesome, even more so than bringing glory to the family!"

Xia Fa touched his forehead, where there was no sweat, and argued:

"That's not what I meant, it's just..."

Actually, he had wanted to find out who the Celestial Venerable who created this inverted pyramid was.

If it is a Celestial Venerable who has already established a large and powerful extraordinary family in the Celestial Spirit Realm, then the girl who looks very much like Fufreio might be a descendant of that Celestial Venerable, who has been protected here for some unknown reason.

But now, he has gleaned from his ancestor's words that the [Primordial Saintess] seems to be single, so there's no way she could be talking about family or descendants.

At the same time, the relationship between the [Primordial Saintess] and this girl becomes increasingly ambiguous.

Gilgamesh then nudged him with his shoulder, a wicked grin on his face:

"I understand. To be honest, with the potential and talent you've shown, only the Celestial Venerable is worthy of you. In short, the Ancestor supports you!"

Then, before Xia Fa could explain, He flashed and flew to the side of the first battle arena.

He landed on the left side of the high stone platform, reached out and pressed down on it. Immediately, black chains resembling axles spread from his palm, each chain composed of ancient cryptic text.

Then, the stone platform began to tremble and started to sink.

Xia Fa understood that this was probably the entrance to the next level. At the same time, he sighed inwardly, thankful that his ancestors were there. Otherwise, he would have had to spend a long time just finding this entrance on his own, and solving the puzzle would have been a huge challenge.

The ancestors only needed to use the [Secret of Eternity] to easily resolve all of this.

As the stone platform sank completely to the bottom of the river, a dark hole was revealed.

Xia Fa flew over, said nothing, and directly joined his ancestor in infiltrating the area.

After all, under the second stage of the Chaos Throne, he already possesses the normalized strength of a quasi-Celestial Venerable. This inverted pyramid was created by the Celestial Venerable [Primordial Saintess]. In other words, he doesn't need to be too afraid of any dangers and can be more daring.

The dark opening wasn't long, and soon the two saw a glimmer of light as sand and dust rushed in.

The fourth level of this inverted pyramid is actually a desert.

No matter which way you look, from left to right or from front to back, all you see is a vast expanse of desolation, a barren wasteland of brownish-red color, without even shrubs or weeds.

Gilgamesh didn't say much, just did a quick divination, and immediately flew to the right, with Shafa following closely behind.

After flying for nearly a thousand kilometers, He stopped, knelt on one knee, and pressed his palm to the ground.

The black chain, resembling an axle, once again spread from His palm, accompanied by fluctuations in the power of the [Eternal Secret] authority. Soon, with a loud crash, the earth collapsed, creating a hole.

"There should only be one floor left, let's go in."

Gilgamesh turned and smiled at Shafa, then flew in first.

Xia Fa guessed that this layer should be a separate isolation layer, which was the [Primordial Saintess] used to prevent Prometheus's family secrets from being divined or spied on, which is why there was nothing there.

Even if nothing had changed, the winner of the All Spirits Battle Tournament would probably still have to make this trip, though there would likely be a commentator pointing out the entrance.

Finally, as the ancestor flew into the cave and passed through a long downward tunnel, Xiafa arrived at the fifth level.

The exit of the cave entrance is a mountain cave, which is extremely narrow, only a few dozen square meters in size.

But in front of the cave was a large door made of gold.

The golden gate was about ten meters high and looked quite imposing. It was engraved with a mural of a person holding a torch, driving away terrifying beasts in the darkness.

This mural is full of epic grandeur, depicting the man as heroic and mighty, holding not a torch but the hope of all mankind, and driving away not wild beasts but the ancient rulers.

Xia Fa examined the mural carefully and felt that it should have some connection with the Prometheus family, but he couldn't see anything else.

"Go inside, I'll wait for you outside."

Gilgamesh then spoke in a gentle tone, appearing open, honest, and upright.

Xia Fa smiled:

“Ancestor, let’s go in together. It’s alright. Besides, if there’s any danger inside, we can fight side by side.”

Gilgamesh couldn't refuse Shaphat's request, after all, He doted on this descendant:

"Alright, actually I'd also like to see what kind of god-level secrets are hidden in the secret vault of your Prometheus family."

Xia Fa smiled and nodded, taking the lead and walking to the golden gate, where he pushed it hard.

With a rumbling sound and a flurry of dust, he pushed open the golden gate, revealing the scene at the entrance.

What they saw was actually a small temple.

The temple walls were covered with vines, and there were epic murals everywhere. In the corners, there were piles of all kinds of extraordinary metals and fruits, as well as countless secret contracts, treasures, and sealed artifacts.

In one of the corners, the Soul Origin Crystal that Xia Fa had already seen was quietly floating, radiating powerful and boundless spiritual energy.
