I'm not just human!

Gilgamesh was so envious he didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but recall how he had risked his life to perform many great deeds for the Church of Paradox, and finally he was able to prostrate himself at the feet of the Clown of Paradox and kiss the tip of his shoe. He was proud of this for a long time and bragged about it to his friends everywhere.

And now...

"Descendant, I am fairly certain that your origins are extraordinary, otherwise Lord Paradox Clown would not value you so highly. However, I am indeed limited in my abilities regarding your background and cannot figure it out."

As Gilgamesh spoke, his gaze fell upon the sandalwood box.

"But since this sandalwood box from more than 30,000 years ago was left for you, perhaps you could try opening it."

Xia Fa had the same thought. He was extremely curious about what was inside. Even the pure white, light-chasing silver was only fit to be the nameplate of this sandalwood box, so what kind of god-level secret did it contain...?

So he slowly nodded to his ancestor, and then walked step by step, solemnly and respectfully, toward the sandalwood box on the altar.

call--!

call--!

As Xia Fa finally stood before the altar, a strange, demonic wind swirled up from beneath his feet, stirring up dust and fallen leaves.

The temple, located on the fifth level of the inverted pyramid, was originally completely enclosed, but suddenly a strange wind arose, which made both Shafa and Gilgamesh feel a chill.

However, this did not stop Xia Fa's actions in the slightest. He was already capable of hitting a Celestial Venerable. Unless it was a Celestial Venerable or a True God, what could possibly harm him?

Oh wait, it seems this really is a danger at the level of a true god...

Thinking this, Xia Fa took a deep breath and instantly entered the second stage of the Chaos Throne. His whole body was surrounded by lightning, his figure was blurry, and his hands were instantly covered with a heavy, sticky dark golden color before he dared to reach for the sandalwood box.

His hand quickly found the lid, and without hesitation, Xia Fa grabbed it with one hand and lifted it up.

He paused for a moment, then placed both hands on the lid, grasped the ring on top, and lifted it again.

After a slight pause, Xia Fa mustered all his strength this time, his hands becoming several sizes larger, and pulled upwards with all his might once again.

With almost all their might, the lid finally showed signs of loosening. The once perfectly sealed edge was lifted slightly, but it immediately fell back down.

Xia Fa wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathing slightly heavily.

When he tried to lift the lid for the third time, he had used almost all his strength, even more than when he fought the [Godslayer], but to his surprise, he still couldn't open the sandalwood box.

Fortunately, he had foreseen this, since it contained a secret at the level of a true god, which was likely not something that only he, with his current divine status, could unlock.

However, Xia Fa did not give up. He took out two bottles of iced strawberry wine and gulped them down, then tried a few more times.

Each time, I could lift the lid up a little bit, but only a little bit. It was as if the lid and the box were made of strong magnets. As soon as I lifted it up a little, it would be pulled back by a strong force.

Seeing that there seemed to be no other way, Xia Fa thought for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He then wrapped his arms around the sandalwood box.

This time, with a sudden burst of strength in his arms and a shout of "Hey!", he finally managed to lift the sandalwood box.

But because of this, Gilgamesh, who had been watching from the side, suddenly widened his eyes and almost dislocated his jaw in fright.

The reason is simple: Xia Fa in his current transformed state possesses the strength of a quasi-Celestial Venerable!

In this situation, if he still had to exert so much effort to lift this sandalwood box, how heavy must it be? The weight of thousands of stars combined? Or tens of thousands of stars?

What exactly is inside?

“Ancestor, I can’t open this sandalwood box right now. I guess I’ll have to wait until I become an Outer God.”

Shafa, holding the sandalwood box, turned to Gilgamesh and told him the truth.

Gilgamesh smiled:

“I guessed that was the case. It’s alright, as long as we can take it with us. Do you have a good black bag? Preferably one woven with sacred metal threads.”

Xia Fa understood his ancestor's meaning. With the weight of this sandalwood box comparable to thousands of stars, any bag that wasn't of extremely high quality would absolutely be unable to withstand it. The subspace inside would be torn apart by the enormous gravity, causing it to fall out.

It is precisely because of the temple's unique nature—after all, it was personally crafted by a Celestial Venerable, and its own special characteristics—that an ordinary person would be torn apart and absorbed the moment they approached the sandalwood box, just like approaching a black hole.

So he nodded and smiled slightly:

"Yeah, I just got one from [Godsbane], but we need to take the contents out first."

Although the Black Bag is a secret treasure, it does not contain any soul imprint or anything like that, so whoever gets it can use it.

In fact, the same is true for other treasures. Even the ancient treasures do not contain the soul imprint of the Great Old Ones, let alone the others.

The only thing that could possibly bear a soul imprint is probably the sacred treasures of the nine great gods.

Therefore, Xia Fa was completely at ease with the Black Bag he obtained from the [Gods' Nemesis].

At this moment, he mobilized a wisp of divine power within his body, and like tentacles, he simultaneously produced two black pouches. One shimmered with starlight, while the other was quite magnificent. Besides the one called "Gods' Nemesis," there was also a black pouch from the tomb of the Three-Headed Giant Celestial Venerable.

After easily transferring the contents of the [Gods Slayer] pouch into the pouch of the Three-Headed Giant Celestial, Xia Fa then laboriously held the sandalwood box in both hands and bumped it against another pouch.

With a "whoosh," the sandalwood box vanished and disappeared into the black bag.

Xia Fa was still not entirely at ease, so he checked it over again to make sure the sandalwood box was quietly inside the black bag before placing the black bag into the time rift of "time concealment".

Once he reached the level of a god, his time concealment became a regular and continuous function, meaning he was essentially free from time constraints.

Having obtained the most important and crucial item, Xia Fa and Gilgamesh exchanged a glance, both preparing to leave this place of trouble.

However, what about the other spoils of war in this temple...?

Xia Fa thought for a moment and first took the most important Soul Origin Crystal. As for the other secret treasures, contracts, and sealing artifacts, they were almost useless to him now.

The main problem is that there are no sacred metals, no divine blood fruits, and no other supreme sacred objects here. They are basically treasures that only extraordinary lords can obtain. To him, they are not as valuable as the treasures in the Gilgamesh family's treasury.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa carefully selected some secret treasures and sealed items, intending to give them to his cousins ​​and the others, including Tefaro, upon returning home. He also took all thirty-odd overlord-level secret contracts. Then, he looked at his ancestor and smiled:

“Ancestor, I plan to take these other things back and return them to the Prometheus family. Do you need any of them? If so, take them.”

Gilgamesh chuckled:

“Good child, I appreciate your kind intentions, but like you, I don’t really need these things.”

Seeing this, Xia Fa finally felt relieved. With a wave of his hand, he put all the treasures in the four corners of the temple into his black bag.

Suddenly, the temple, which had seemed to be filled with rare treasures, became empty, as if it had been robbed.

Xia Fa and Gilgamesh, in perfect unison, flew out of the temple entrance with a single thought.

The two flew up from the various openings they had come from, and soon flew out of the first level of the inverted pyramid quite smoothly.

Unexpectedly, there were many Outer Gods, Divine Beings, and even Extraordinary Sovereigns waiting on the first level of this inverted pyramid. Fortunately, Gilgamesh had used the Secret of Eternity in advance to help the two conceal their forms, allowing them to leave silently.

The two did not choose to fly towards the Prometheus family's Protoss warship, fearing that it would attract too much attention. It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that they were afraid that the Prometheus family would be targeted by those with ill intentions.

Xia Fa sent a message to the current head of the Prometheus family, arranging to meet in a safe place the next day. Then, he and his ancestor quietly left the Star Spirit Wright Starfield.

"Ancestor, shall we return to the clan for a visit?"

While leisurely flying through the Protoss Realm, enjoying the scenery along the way, Xia Fa offered his suggestion.

Gilgamesh, however, said with some surprise:

"Go back to the family? How do we get back?"

Xia Fa replied without hesitation:

"Let's go back to the real world first, and then just fly there, right? Oh, wait..."

He paused, then a guilty smile appeared on his face:

“Ancestor, I forgot you can’t go to the real world.”

After all, the ancestors were already outward gods, and if they dared to go to the real world, they would cause very serious uncontrolled pollution.

Gilgamesh waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all, and even joked:

"You talk as if you can move around freely in the real world. Don't forget, you're already a god."

After a slight pause, He offered a suggestion:

"How about we go and take a look at my Outer God Realm? Perfect timing. After a short rest, we can head to the City of Gold Pounds. They're probably already waiting for your arrival. You're about to become truly famous, my descendants."

Xia Fa had long wanted to visit the City of Gold Pounds, especially now that the Cleaners and the Extraordinary were at war, the City of Gold Pounds was truly the rear base for the Extraordinary beings.

Needless to say, the City of Gold Pounds is the most prosperous and largest city in the Protoss Realm, where you can find all kinds of beings and buy anything.

It is said that the city where gold pounds converge is comparable in size to a star field, which shows how vast it is.

So Xia Fa readily agreed.

"Alright, perfect timing. I'll trouble you, ancestor, to show me around the City of Gold Pounds. I'm completely unfamiliar with this place, haha."

Gilgamesh smiled and nodded:

"Yes, leave it to me. I have a few old friends I can introduce to you later. By the way, you seem to be from the Silver Church, right? Have you joined the Solar Prominence Nebula Legion?"

"The Solar Prominence Nebula Legion?"

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He had heard of the name before, but he had joined the "Solar Prominence Nebula Squad," an extraordinary squad of the Silver Church in Rum City.

Seeing that his descendants didn't seem to understand, Gilgamesh patiently explained it to them:

"In the real world, the superhuman squads of the nine major churches each have their own unique names. Do you know how they came about? That's right, they come from the superhuman legions of the nine major churches."

"In fact, the greatest power in the Protoss Realm is also the Nine Great Churches. However, unlike in the real world, the Outer Gods under the command of each of the Nine Great Churches will join the Extraordinary Legion of the Nine Great Churches."

"For example, the Solar Prominence Nebula Legion of the Silver Church, the Thorn Blade Legion of the Nature Church, the Mystic Realm Wandering Circus Legion of the Paradox Church, the One-Act Theater Legion of the Destiny Church, the Black Hole Watcher Legion of the Absolute Church, and so on..."

Solar Prominence Nebula Legion...

The Thornblade Legion...

A circus troupe wanders through a secret realm...

One-Act Theater Legion...

Black Hole Watch Legion...

Xia Fa silently memorized these names and discovered that they actually corresponded one by one to the extraordinary teams of the nine major churches in the real world.

Gilgamesh then continued:

"Each of the nine major churches has a transcendent legion, with the legion commander being a Celestial Venerable and the deputy legion commander being a Quasi-Celestial Venerable. Only after that do the Outer Gods serve as deacons. Speaking of which, if you were to join, you would probably be the first person in history to become a deputy legion commander from a divine position. Tsk tsk..."

Xia Fa asked curiously:

How can we contact them?

Gilgamesh replied without hesitation:
