I'm not just human!

Of course, no one could have imagined such a trap. Who would have thought that the righteous god [Brief Reality] would suddenly appear? Moreover, as a righteous god, instead of taking direct action, he meticulously set up a trap?

"Don't misunderstand, that's not an illusion, it's reality, the reality I created."

The middle-aged painter-looking "Brief Reality" spoke, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he could control everything, yet also as if he didn't care about anything.

"However, I never expected that the Nature Bee, who has recently become second only to you in popularity in the Protoss Realm, is actually your pet. Is that how you realized something was wrong?"

He had already walked up to Xiafa, but did not get very close. Instead, he gently snapped his fingers.

With a "snap," Xia Fa was immediately forced out of the third stage of the Chaos Throne and reverted to his human form.

"You are quite good-looking. If you had been born more than 10,000 years earlier and become an Outer God, I might have invited you to be my model."

[Brief Reality] looked Xia Fa up and down, seemingly judging him from a painter's perspective, and then said:

"You don't need to feel like you've fallen into my trap. Perhaps you don't know, but more than 30,000 years ago, among the gods who killed the Great Old Ones, I ranked third in the number of those I killed."

third?

Xia Fa was shocked. Did this mean that the power of [Brief Reality] was second only to [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker]?

Moreover, this power was capable of killing an Old One, and not just one...

The three veteran deities... together are righteous gods whose strength is comparable to that of Alm the Greatbow or the [Nature Monarch].

But if it's an exceptionally powerful righteous god, like the Paradox Joker, no amount of veteran celestial beings could help!

Like three wolves, they might be able to kill a lion, but what if they were facing a griffin from mythology...?

And "Temporary Reality" seems to be only slightly inferior to the Paradox Joker.

Why? Because of [eternal reality]?

In particular, even though He was already so powerful, He was still so cautious, first creating a brief reality to confuse Him, and then using a righteous secret artifact to bind Him... At this moment, Xia Fa truly felt the terror of this righteous god.

At the same time, he understood that even if He didn't use a trap, he would probably have no power to resist.

"Originally, even if you became a god, to beings of our status, it would be something that could be easily erased in a short time."

[Brief Reality] As he spoke, a cryptic smile appeared on his face:

"However, you are about to become an Outer God in less than a few days. With your status as the strongest True God, which is comparable to [Absolute Defense], once you become an Outer God, we will no longer be able to control you, and you will become a big problem."

With a casual flick of his wrist, he released a loose end of the brown pencil binding Xia Fa, which he then caught in his hand.

An immense, unbelievable, and terrifying divine power suddenly spread over again, as if an unbearable force had been applied to his body. Xia Fa felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to move an inch, not even a finger.

“But it would be a waste to kill you now. It just so happens that the lord has a great use for a genius like you, so I came here in person.”

Chapter 427: Outwitting and outmaneuvering the [Brief Reality], the origins of the fake Nine Great Gods?

The brain operates at maximum efficiency, and countless solutions emerge like fish leaping out of the water, only to be rejected one by one by Xia Fa.

For no other reason than the overwhelming disparity in strength, all schemes seemed to become ineffective.

At this moment, he felt as if he had become a puppet, being led by the [Brief Reality] and slowly flying towards the entrance of the snake tail area.

That's right, [Brief Reality] is currently holding one end of the brown paintbrush, as if pulling a rope, with the other end binding him.

Fortunately, Xia Fa was relieved that this "brief reality" didn't seem to last long, at least not until after he had devoured the huge fleshy ball in the tail area of ​​the "Mortal Python".

In other words, He did not realize that He had swallowed the giant ball of flesh.

As for whether this supreme being, one of the nine great gods, could divine this... Xia Fa wasn't afraid. With the blessing of [Eternal Secret] and [Eternal Error], coupled with his own divine status, he was now almost unafraid of any divination. Even if a god came, he couldn't divine it.

Unless it is an invincible being like the Sun God King or the Moon Mother Goddess, possessing absolute defense.

"Oh, right, Nature's Bee and Veronica..."

Thinking of his pet and this physical body, Xia Fa suddenly felt worried.

Just now, in the brief reality created by [Brief Reality], there were Veronica and the Bee of Nature. Of course, that was fake. But what about the real Veronica and the Bee of Nature?

Could it be that he has already been killed by this righteous god?

Thinking of this, Xia Fa felt a sudden tightness in his heart and immediately began to check with his spiritual intuition.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the soul imprint of the Nature Bee was intact, though somewhat disordered.

At least, this shows that the natural bee did not die.

The next moment, the space above suddenly opened up, and it turned out that [Brief Reality] had already carried him out of the cave.

Xia Fa quickly took the opportunity to move his eyes to look around—after all, only his eyes could move at the moment, and even his spiritual intuition couldn't spread out. If he didn't seize the opportunity, he wouldn't even know how the two of them were doing.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just a few meters from the collapsed palace, outside the cave entrance, Veronica lay on the ground, clutching her head, seemingly about to lose control, yet she was still managing to stay upright.

Strangely, while she was in a semi-out-of-control state, bees began to emerge from her body, instead of anything else.

This made Xia Fa begin to doubt her true origins.

Could it be that she isn't a human in disguise?

As for their pet, Nature's Bee, it fell into an extremely strange state, talking to the air like a fool.

“Master, once I’m done with things here, I might have to go to the tomb of some Great Old One. Don’t worry, I’ll only go to the outskirts. I’ll bring back some holy metals for you then, hehe.”

"Master, when I finally become a physical being, can I fight alongside you? Even if I'm just your second-in-command, that's fine."

"Master, I've actually fallen in love with a female bumblebee, but she's just a normal bumblebee, not even a supernatural being. What should I do? I'm so troubled..."

So that's how the "brief reality" tricked me into revealing my relationship with the Nature Bee...

Seeing this, Xiafa immediately understood why, after he saw through the reality created by [Temporary Reality], he soon learned that the Nature Bee was his pet.

Clearly, the Nature Bee is now trapped in a kind of reality created by the [Temporary Reality], mistakenly believing that it is talking to itself.

Fortunately, from the moment the Nature Bee was born, when it was just a tiny bee egg, I would shield it from my senses no matter what I did. After it hatched, it mostly roamed the Celestial Realm.

In other words, even if it falls into this "reality" that is more terrifying than illusion, there is no need to worry that it will expose any of its secrets, except for things related to its identity as a "glutton".

But now that I no longer care about whether my identity as a glutton is exposed, I don't need to worry about anything.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the figure of [Brief Reality] blur for a moment, as if it began to accelerate, or as if it was undergoing some kind of leap that was far higher than the Protoss leap.

The next moment, Xia Fa felt a tightness all over his body, and then his vision blurred. To his surprise, he found himself in Shekou District.

From beginning to end, the god [Brief Reality] didn't even glance at Veronica and the Bee of Nature, as if he couldn't be bothered to care about them at all.

It gives the impression that Veronica and the Bee of Nature are not even ants to this god, and he wouldn't bother to step on them.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Xia Fa felt the strange current in his cerebral cortex was no longer so intense and alarming. He immediately realized that the [Brief Reality] had restrained the overflow of his own divine aura.

As a result, the humans and demi-humans he had just rescued in Shekou District were all doing as usual, without being affected by the loss of control in the slightest.

It's important to understand that what just happened was most likely a brief moment of reality passing by Veronica, yet it immediately put this entity in a semi-out-of-control state!

Of course, while these humans and demi-humans were not affected by the loss of control, they also could not see Shafa and the [Temporary Reality].

The next moment, Xia Fa felt a blur around him again, and then everything around him became as vivid as oil paint. Everywhere he looked, there were phantom images of planets, the true realm of gods, huge star spirits, and even various tombs and strange domains.

It turns out that the [Brief Reality] had already brought him to the Protoss Realm.

"What exactly does He want to take me to do? And who exactly is this 'great man' He speaks of?"

Xia Fa always felt that the person who could be addressed as "Master" by the god of "Brief Reality" was very extraordinary, and if you thought about it more deeply, you would feel that it was full of unknowns and terrors.

Although we will most likely see it soon, given the speed at which true gods travel, going anywhere in the real world or the Protoss realm is just a matter of a thought, as long as they have the coordinates.

However, precisely because of this, Xia Fa felt a little uneasy, after all, he didn't know what kind of existence that "master" was.

He held his breath and continued to think of a solution, especially when the [Brief Reality] took him there for the handover; that might be the only chance to escape.

But Xia Fa immediately realized something was wrong.

[Brief Reality] In just two thoughts, he was taken directly from the Seven-Inch Zone of the [Mortal Python] to the Snake Mouth Zone, and then into the Star Spirit Realm.

But now, [Brief Reality] doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get going; it's just holding his hand and flying along at a leisurely pace.

Of course, while it was said to be unhurried, it was actually much faster than the highest escape speed of a Celestial Venerable. If he hadn't been able to use [Eternal Speed], he probably would have fainted from the strain at that speed.

Why didn't He just perform a jump?

Seeing this, Xia Fa stared at the thin back of the middle-aged painter-looking figure in [Brief Reality] and his mind raced.

Just then, [Brief Reality] seemed to sense something, turned around, and gave Him a look that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"You must be wondering why I didn't just jump directly to our destination, right?"

Since only his eyes could move, Xia Fa could only glance at Him upon hearing this, trying to express his contempt.

But immediately, with a "snap," the brown paintbrush tied around his neck suddenly broke.

Then, Xiafa immediately discovered that not only could he speak, but he could also turn his head freely.

[Brief Reality] said calmly:

"Don't misunderstand, the reason I'm binding you like this isn't because I'm afraid you'll escape, because you have no chance of escaping from my grasp. I'm worried that if I give you freedom, you might risk your life to contact the Ninth God, who is the most mysterious of the nine of us, ha..."

He paused, then changed the subject:

"It'll be several more days of travel, and I'm afraid I'll get bored on the road. So, how about we chat? Just to get you talking is fine."

[Brief Reality] It seems there's some apprehension towards the Ninth True God served by the Church of Destiny?

Xiafa keenly sensed this from His words, and at the same time, he vaguely guessed why the [Temporary Reality] hadn't used warp to travel.

It is estimated that using the jump itself would alert the Ninth God, which is why He chose to travel so slowly.

"Will it take several days...?"

Xia Fa's mind raced. First of all, the [Brief Reality] had no idea that he had devoured the huge fleshy ball in the tail area of ​​the [World Serpent].

In other words, He could not have known that He would only need three days to digest this giant ball of flesh and gain three more god-level mutations.

As for the complete absorption of the [Eternal Error] within his body, it would take about three days... so there's no point in even thinking about it, because the moment [Brief Reality] bound him with the sacred artifact, Xia Fa discovered that the absorption of the [Eternal Error] within his body had already been forcibly stopped.

It is probably for this reason that He dares to speak so recklessly. In His view, He cannot break through to the level of an Outer God, and He cannot even project his spiritual intuition, so He poses no threat whatsoever.

but……

"If it's just about breaking free from the shackles of this sacred treasure, there's no need to break through to the Outer God level; all you need to do is obtain three more God-level mutations."
