I'm not just human!

Just as he was thinking this, Xia Fa had already flown to the front of the giant ball of flesh.

Along the way, they encountered no danger whatsoever. On the contrary, they found the snake tail area eerily quiet, with only the sound of the giant fleshy ball constantly throbbing.

"Hmm... the life force contained within the [Mortal Serpent] helped this enormous ball of flesh offset the constant and ubiquitous wear and tear from the extraordinary power?"

As soon as he got close, Xia Fa immediately sensed something and had to marvel once again at the power of the Moon Mother Goddess. She had only shed a layer of skin, yet she was able to create such a mysterious forbidden zone with a rich ecosystem and numerous species, allowing the super-fast "Speed," a secret star spirit, to develop intelligence, and even retain such a fleshy ball with a strong power of mutation.

It can only be said that an existence that could become one of the two pillars of the universe in the era of mutants and the era of magicians, and that was on par with the Sun God King, was indeed not simple at all.

"By the way, why didn't the nine great gods take it away back then? They clearly knew it was a layer of skin shed by the Moon Mother Goddess..."

"Oh right, they're not like me. They probably can't accommodate mutated systems, so taking them away is pointless..."

Thinking this, Xia Fa felt a little relieved. This time, instead of spitting out the dark stomach, he opened his huge mouth and inhaled forcefully.

A gust of wind swept up and rushed into Xia Fa's mouth like a whale drinking. The huge ball of flesh was also pulled up by the roots, and countless blood vessels at its base were torn off and flew directly into Xia Fa's mouth.

Gum!

Xia Fa swallowed hard, swallowing the huge ball of flesh. His stomach swelled up instantly, but then quickly returned to normal.

As a follower of the gods, he was already a god in the strict sense, so even though the ball of flesh was very large, about the same size as a stone ball on the street, he didn't need to worry about its size and could easily swallow it.

Almost instantly, Xia Fa felt the fleshy ball begin to digest, but the digestion was not fast; it would take at least several days to digest completely.

At the same time, he felt a new divine mutation power stirring within his body, which was about to awaken gradually as he absorbed this giant ball of flesh.

"Let me think... the nine main titles of the Moon Mother Goddess seem to be: God of the Moon, God of Darkness, God of Mystery, God of Time, God of Space, God of Reincarnation, God of the Ocean, God of the Earth, and God of Life..."

"These nine divine mutations corresponding to these nine names seem incredibly powerful. I wonder how many of them I can awaken..."

Of course, if we have to say something, the divine-level mutations corresponding to the titles of the Moon God and the Hidden God are definitely a bit lacking, but the others, whether it's space, time, reincarnation, darkness, ocean, earth, life... all of them are obviously incredibly powerful just by hearing their names.

"It seems like the Moon Mother Goddess's nine divine mutations are far more powerful than those of the Sun God King..."

Suddenly thinking about this question, Xia Fa couldn't help but become curious.

Because, according to the history of the mutant era and the magician era, the Sun God King has always been recognized as the strongest being, not the Moon Mother Goddess.

Even when the extraordinary era had just begun, more than 30,000 years ago, when that "major event" occurred, the Moon Mother Goddess, facing the rising extraordinary gods, chose to "reproduce" the Sun God King from the river of time to deal with them, rather than taking action herself.

It was precisely because of the failure to reproduce that His authority was completely lost and His whereabouts became unknown.

If the Moon Goddess is truly far more powerful than the Sun God King, she seems to have no need for this; she could have simply taken matters into her own hands.

"I don't understand... but maybe when we go to the Ascending Star Abyss in a few days, we can find some clues on the corpse of the Sun God King, and that will answer the question..."

On the other hand, given that the span of his time travels is getting larger and larger each time, Xia Fa is also secretly hoping that he might be able to travel back 30,000 years to personally witness what "major event" happened that affected the entire universe and directly ushered in the extraordinary era.

If one can witness it firsthand, all mysteries will be solved, which will benefit oneself and make one's mind more stable, because there will be no longer any unknowns or fears.

Having successfully devoured the enormous ball of flesh and with nothing else to do, Xia Fa thought for a moment and decided to return directly to the Seven Inch Zone, then leave the [Worldly Python] with Veronica and the Nature Bee.

As for what to do next, it's best to stay in your own little world or the city where gold and pounds gather, and properly digest this giant ball of flesh.

During this time, one can also try to cultivate the skills to overcome the three critical loss of control and master the supreme killing techniques of the Cleaners.

Besides that, the only thing that needs to be done, and the most crucial thing, is...

Xia Fa used his spiritual intuition to look inside his body and saw the toothbrush-shaped [Eternal Error].

In fact, after successfully signing the Primordial Stomach, which is to say, after reaching the eight overlord-level secret contracts required to reach the peak of godhood, the body had already begun to absorb the [Eternal Error] on its own.

Even a burning sensation in the heart meridian surged forth, aiding the body's absorption.

However, just as he had predicted, the difficulty of becoming an Outer God from a God was far greater than that of a human becoming a Sub-God. Therefore, this [Eternal Error] could not be absorbed in a few seconds like the [Eternal Critical Strike].

At this moment, about an hour has passed since the signing of the "Primordial Stomach Bag," and the "Eternal Error" has completely merged with most of the cells in the First Heart.

At this rate, it should take about three days for the body to fully absorb the [Eternal Error].

In this way, he would become an Outer God on the spot, and truly possess the power to fight against the True Gods!

Of course, by then, the opponent will be a normal-strength god, such as the [Nature Monarch] or the [Supreme Law], or a single Golden Cleanser.

Going further up, if it's something comparable to the [Old Ones], then they can't beat them, not to mention a true god like [Paradox Joker] who can take on multiple opponents single-handedly, they are even less likely to be able to defeat him.

As for being able to take on over 600 people with "absolute defense"... well... Xia Fa estimates that he would need to become a true god to possess such strength.

Of course, if one could collect all nine mutations of the Moon Mother Goddess during the Outer God era, and sign ten overlord-level secret contracts, especially the [Primordial Secret Explanation], it seems that one could also possess combat power similar to [Absolute Defense].

"Wait, if after a period of time as an Outer God I can really possess strength comparable to [Absolute Defense], then when I become a True God..."

Thinking of this, Xia Fa felt a surge of inexplicable excitement, as if lightning had struck his entire body, and he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

If... he can truly be comparable to [absolute defense] during his Outer God era, then what are ten thousand Golden Cleansers worth when he truly becomes a True God?

"So, you've found a way to deal with those ten thousand gold cleaners?"

Xia Fa found it increasingly feasible, although there were still many difficulties, such as how to collect the nine divine mutations of the Moon Mother Goddess and whether he could successfully obtain the [Primordial Secret].

And then there's the most difficult one—becoming a true god.

The nine Great Gods all achieved their Godhood more than 30,000 years ago. During these 30,000 years, all kinds of geniuses and powerful individuals have emerged one after another, but none of them have been able to become the tenth Great God, which shows how difficult it is.

As for the fake Nine True Gods, Xia Fa even suspected that they were not part of the same system as the Extraordinary True Gods, because one of the false gods' sons, who died at his own hands, was a very mixed aura, carrying the aura of Extraordinary Gods, Great Old Ones, and Golden Cleansers.

In this case, the fake Nine True Gods certainly did not become true gods through the orthodox method of becoming gods. As for how they actually did it, that remains unknown.

However, this problem won't bother you for long.

Because once I become an Outer God, I will immediately go to support Lord Paradox Clown. When that time comes, I will personally confront the fake Nine True Gods, and then everything will become clear!

"It's all about three days... Three days later is the time when the Stars Ascend and the Star Abyss Opens. In those three days, I can digest this giant ball of flesh and completely absorb the [Eternal Error], thus becoming an Outer God..."

With this in mind, Xia Fa stopped hesitating and looked up at the hole above his head, which was blocked by rubble and broken wood.

With a swift movement, he shot up into the air like a rocket and dashed away.

boom!

The already collapsed palace ruins were completely smashed open by him. Xia Fa, who was in the air with insight into the Hive City, looked down at Veronica and the Bee of Nature who were waiting quietly below.

"Xia Fa? Wait, what are you doing..."

Veronica seemed stunned. She looked at the "Shafa" beside her, then at the "Shafa" in the air, and was immediately confused.

Xia Fa smiled:

"That was an illusion I created. I was afraid something might go wrong if I ventured into the Serpent's Tail area without permission, so I was being extra cautious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the illusion of Veronica frowning and deep in thought beside her immediately burst and disappeared like a bubble.

The Bee of Nature stared blankly at everything at first, then revealed a helpless smile, turned to look at Xia Fa in the air, and said:

"Xia Fa! You're really amazing. I didn't even realize it was an illusion."

As it spoke, the Nature Bee flapped its wings, moved its plump body, and flew over.

and many more!

In that instant, it felt as if a needle had pierced his temple from left to right. Xia Fa's gaze sharpened, and he realized that something was wrong.

Veronica...didn't you start calling yourself "husband" back in the six-inch zone? Why are you calling me by my full name now?

Even worse, why does his own pet bee, Nature's Bee, call him by his full name, and in such a teasing and joking manner as if they were friends?

"stop!"

Upon realizing this, Xia Fa roared, stopping the Nature Bees that were about to fly over.

Veronica, who was also preparing to fly over, trembled upon seeing this, and tears immediately welled up in her round eyes.

"Xia Fa, you, how did you become so fierce..."

"What exactly are you two? Where are Veronica and the Nature Bee?"

With a shout, Xia Fa's hands blurred as the Rhine Dawn armor was about to materialize.

If either of them answered even slightly wrong, he was prepared to strike and subdue them.

The reason he didn't act immediately upon noticing anything amiss was that, even at such close range, he couldn't sense any difference between the auras of these two and those of Veronica and the Bee of Nature.

In other words, there was nothing wrong with their breathing; if it weren't for the problems with their language and behavior, they wouldn't even have noticed it!

At that very moment, Veronica and the Bee of Nature stopped simultaneously.

"Hehe, you've already figured out the problem so quickly. The intelligence said that you were able to escape unscathed twice when you were at the bottom of your game. It seems that's true. You are indeed very clever, Xia Fa."

A slightly calm, teasing voice from a middle-aged man rang out and reached Xia Fa's ears.

Xia Fa felt a blur before his eyes; Veronica disappeared, the Bees of Nature disappeared, and even the City of the Insightful Hive, which he had destroyed in large part, disappeared.

What one sees is a series of overlapping spaces, which is... the snake tail area.

He instinctively tried to move, but found that his entire body was bound by extremely tough rubber bands, and he could not move at all.

This was clearly no ordinary rubber band; on the contrary, it exuded... the aura of a true mystical treasure!

"This is……!"

The next moment, not far in front of him, Xia Fa saw a middle-aged man who looked like a painter appear.

His brown hair was tied in a short ponytail with an artistic flair. His face was long and thin, with no flesh on his cheeks, but his eyes were extremely sharp, as if reflecting light and able to see through everything in the world.

He was wearing a simple red and black checkered striped mandarin jacket and loose riding breeches, with a pair of low-heeled calfskin shoes on his feet, slightly dusty, not brand new and shiny.

His waist was the most eye-catching part, with all kinds of paintbrushes hanging around it, each brush covered with different colors of paint, almost all of them watercolors and oil paints.

Seeing the paintbrush on his body, Xia Fa realized something and looked down at the rubber band binding him.

What appeared to be a rubber band was actually an infinitely stretched brown paintbrush, which was tightening as the middle-aged painter appeared.

A grand and supreme divine aura, like mountains and rivers, like tsunamis, like the collapse of the sky, emanated not only from the paintbrush but also from the middle-aged painter in front of him!

"Nice to meet you. My name is Leonardo, and my honorific title is [Temporary Reality]."

The middle-aged painter spoke casually, strolling leisurely towards Xiafa.

Almost instantly, a massive amount of strange current surged out of Xia Fa's coccyx like a floodgate being opened, distributing to his cerebral cortex.

All of this was not for any other reason than to counteract the out-of-control effects brought about by the approach of the "temporary reality".

As for Xia Fa himself, he felt as if he were bound by the brown paintbrush and could not move at all.

"You just... deliberately created an illusion, making me think I went out, and then took the opportunity to bind me with your secret treasure?"

Originally, with his strength comparable to that of a veteran Celestial Venerable, Xia Fa felt that if he hadn't fallen into such a trap, he could definitely have put up a fight and perhaps even escaped!
