I'm not just human!

“That’s right, another way, and that way is…”

Under Xia Fa's incredulous gaze, the gloved hand of the Paradox Clown first pointed to Absolute Defense, then to Himself, and finally to Xia Fa.

"...The three of us."

this?!

Xia Fa admitted that for a moment, his brain went blank.

The Sun God King survived, but... he became one of the three of them?

How did it become like that?

Moreover, what about the corpse of the Sun God King in the Star Abyss where the stars rise?

Furthermore, if [Absolute Defense], [Paradox Clown], and myself are all transformed from the Sun God King, then why do I have absolutely no memories of the Sun God King in my mind?

"【Paradox Joker】, you're still the same, deliberately not explaining things clearly, just teasing our youngest brother, sigh..."

[Absolute Defense] He sighed softly, his tone tinged with both helplessness and indulgence, and continued:

"To be precise, the Sun God King did die, in the momentous event that occurred 30,000 years ago that impacted the entire universe and ushered in the extraordinary era. However, the Sun God King's demise was not the complete destruction of his soul and spirit, but rather..."

[Absolute Defense] He paused, then said, word by word:

"After being imbued with extraordinary power, it split into three parts."

"Imbued with extraordinary power? Divided into three parts?" Xia Fa's pupils shrank, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.

“That’s right, three parts.” The voice of [Absolute Defense] came again from the depths of the temple like rolling thunder. “The first part is the bones, muscles, and skin of the Sun God King’s entire body.”

"The second part is the brain, eyeballs, and nerves of the Sun God King."

"The third part is the heart and stomach of the Sun God King."

"As for the other parts of His body, their whereabouts are unknown."

heart?

Stomach?

In that instant, a thunderous roar shook Xia Fa's mind, and he suddenly remembered something.

On the sandalwood box that I obtained from the Prometheus family's secret vault, the sandalwood box that was inscribed with "To be opened by Xia Fa," wasn't there a heart and a stomach drawn on it?

At the time, he only felt that the pattern was very strange, but he didn't think much of it, mainly because there were too few relevant clues and information.

And now...

At that moment, [Absolute Defense] spoke again.

"The Sun God King, as a righteous god who rose to power in the era of mutants, possesses nine god-level mutations, which is the source of all his strength."

"These nine divine mutations are: Chaotic Destruction Lightning, Pure White Chasing Light Holy Sun, Metal Accumulation Storm, Lion of Turmoil and Strife, Immortal Creation Giant Elephant, Six-Winged Sun God Bird, Deceptive Clown Mask, Supreme Conquest Will, and... Absolute Guardian Giant Scale."

"I, as a being born from the extraordinary power that touched the bones, muscles, and skin of the Sun God King, inherited the Sun God King's six divine mutations: the Chaotic Destruction Thunder, the Lion of Turmoil and Strife, the Immortal Creation Giant Elephant, the Six-Winged Sun God Bird, the Supreme Will of Conquest, and the Absolute Guardian Giant Scale."

"Of course, due to the influence of extraordinary power, these six god-level mutations also transformed into six extraordinary talents, which were born with me."

"As for the Paradox Joker, he is a being born from the brain, eyes and nerves of the Sun God King after they were contaminated with extraordinary power. He inherited three god-level mutations: the Pure White Chasing the Light Holy Sun, the Metal Accumulation Storm, and the Deceptive Joker Mask."

"And you, Xiafa, as a being born from the heart and stomach of the Sun God King tainted with extraordinary power, although you did not inherit any divine mutations, you are born with the potential to awaken these nine divine mutations!"

"Or to be more precise, the potential to awaken the nine supreme and extraordinary talents corresponding to these nine divine-level mutations!"

Rumble!

Xia Fa leaned back, his heart trembling violently, as if a monstrous wave had surged within him. He never imagined that part of his origins would be like this!

No wonder the Paradox Joker said they were all brothers.

No wonder, whether it's myself who is two meters tall, or [Paradox Joker] and [Absolute Defense], their physiques are all exceptionally robust.

No wonder, once he consumed the top-tier mutated crystal source or the top-tier mutated flesh ball, as well as that dreamlike colored strange liquid, he was able to awaken the nine divine-level mutations of the Sun God King in turn!

But perhaps it is precisely because part of his origins has been clarified that even greater doubts have surfaced in his mind.

That is... the burning sensation in my heart meridian, and the strange electric current in my spine. Where did it all come from?

He had previously suspected that the burning sensation in his heart was related to the Sun God King, but now it seems that it is not at all.

Because, as [Absolute Defense] said, it did not inherit any of the divine-level talents transformed from the Sun God King's divine-level mutations, but only possessed the potential to awaken the nine divine-level mutations.

Moreover, and most importantly, none of the nine divine mutations of the Sun God King are the same as the ability of "the feeling of burning".

Even the closest "Pure White Chasing Light Holy Sun" can't provide the same level of power boost in critical moments as the burning sensation.

Having awakened the nine divine-level mutations, he was very clear about this.

Since there are no god-level mutations related to "the feeling of burning," there are even fewer god-level mutations related to "strange electric currents."

In the era of mutants, there is no such thing as going out of control. The main ability of the strange electric current is to suppress one's own or others' loss of control.

Moreover, the strange electric current was coming from his own spine and tailbone, not from his heart or stomach.

So, where does this burning sensation and strange electric current come from? Could it be related to another source in my origin story?

Also, why can I achieve huge improvements time and time again simply by exercising?

Furthermore, what is the origin of my abilities, whether it's randomly freeloading meals or time travel?

Xia Fa became increasingly eager to know, especially after understanding part of his background. This other part of his background seemed to be just one step away, making him extremely itchy to know more.

"It seems that only by obtaining and signing the [Primordial Secrets] can we truly understand all of this..."

Chapter 434: Information on the Ancient Secrets! The Overlord-level Secret Contract that Xia Fa needs most?

"Huh? Why aren't you reacting at all?"

The wind and snow raged outside the temple, yet not a drop of snow could get in. The voice of the Paradox Clown echoed from within the silent and solemn temple.

As for the person He was asking, it could only be Xiafa.

Xia Fa's thoughts were interrupted. He looked up and met the surprised, emerald-green eyes beneath the imposing clown mask of the Paradox Joker. He couldn't help but be taken aback and said:

"Hmm...do I need to react?"

Deep within the temple, the [Absolute Defense], completely shrouded in a robe of holy light, surprisingly laughed:

"【Paradox Clown】, I told you long ago that Xia Fa is very likely the most talented of the three of us brothers. Now you understand, right? After all, he has one more source than us, and it's a more mysterious source than the Sun God King's organs."

He paused, then smiled and continued:

"When I became a true god, I found the truth about the origin of the three of us brothers in the gray fog of time. Then I told the Paradox Clown, who was only an outer god at the time. As a result, he almost lost control on the spot. That's why he was so surprised to see that you didn't react. Haha."

Xia Fa suddenly understood something and turned to the Paradox Clown:

"No wonder, you said you'd only tell me after I reached the Outer Gods..."

In fact, Xia Fa knew that he was also greatly shocked, especially since it involved the strongest righteous god in history, the Sun God King. This was far more shocking than the mental impact a mortal would have when facing a righteous god directly.

However, since his current strength is arguably the greatest among the Heavenly Venerables, and he also has a strange electric current at his spine, he shows no signs of losing control whatsoever.

"Since that's the case, I can also tell you about the information regarding the [Primordial Secrets]. To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I learned about it from the vast stream of information emanating from [The Ashes of Glory] when I was fighting him."

[Paradox Clown] spoke with a smile, instantly capturing Xia Fa's attention.

"【The Ashes of Glory】, you know it, right? It's the false god who replaced the Ninth God. Yet, it wields power similar to that of the First History and the Ninth God. It loves to stuff people's minds with a lot of useless information and intelligence. Even true gods are at greater risk of losing control under its methods."

After a pause, the Paradoxical Joker remarked with a touch of melancholy:

"However, I didn't expect that the [Embers of Glory] would automatically capture the relevant information because of the imminent birth of the [Ancient Secrets]. When I fought with it, I obtained it by chance, which can be considered a blessing in disguise."

[Absolute Defense] At this moment, he added in a muffled voice:

"However, the fake Nine Great Gods and the Golden Cleansers will probably know some of the information about the [Ancient Secret] soon. So, seizing the [Ancient Secret] this time will not be easy, and there are less than eight days left."

Eight days...

Xia Fa calculated that the Star Abyss would open in three days, at which time he would face the corpse of the Sun God King—or rather, the remaining parts of His corpse.

Meanwhile, three days later, he was able to fully absorb the [Eternal Error] and become an Outer God.

To absorb the divine mutation power from the remaining remnants of the Sun God King's body using the body of an external god... Just thinking about it made him feel extremely excited.

At that time, since he was already capable of fighting against the true gods after becoming an outer god, he will most likely receive a huge boost!

With such a massive boost, plus the ability to sign the [Forge of All Things], absorb another [Eternal Certificate], and the divine mutation of the Moon Mother Goddess... Xia Fa himself couldn't even imagine how strong he would be eight days later.

Therefore, he is determined to obtain the [Primordial Secret Explanation] which will be available in eight days!

[The Paradoxical Clown] then waves his hand:

"We'll see then, Xia Fa. We, the righteous gods, will definitely help you. The only question is how to obtain the [Primordial Secret Manual] after its appearance. However, regarding some information about the [Primordial Secret Manual]..."

His white-gloved hand clenched in mid-air, and a yellowed piece of paper materialized. The next moment, the paper vanished, appearing in Xia Fa's hand.

Before Xia Fa could even take a closer look, he heard the Paradox Clown say:

"First, let me explain a esoteric concept to you. Do you know the difference between an eternal certificate and its corresponding authority in the universe?"

Xia Fa thought for a moment:

"An eternal certificate... that can be used or invoke the corresponding cosmic authority?"

[The Paradoxical Joker] nodded slightly:

"That's right. An existence that fully possesses some kind of eternal certificate can only 'use' the corresponding authority, not truly 'possess' that authority, let alone be the embodiment of that authority."

He paused, then explained carefully:

"There are countless cosmic authorities. Every concept and every thing has a corresponding cosmic authority. It can be said that authority determines the basic laws governing the operation of our universe."

"Even atoms, electrons, gravity, magnetism, friction... or the four fundamental forces from a microscopic perspective, as well as various particles... all correspond to one or more cosmic authorities."

"It can be said that the universe operates because of these physical laws, and then the corresponding cosmic authority was born. It can also be said that the existence of this cosmic authority gave birth to these physical laws, allowing the universe to operate normally."

"But, in short, the power of the universe... can only ever be used or mobilized by people, and can never truly belong to anyone."

"Therefore, besides eternal credentials, there are of course other ways to use or mobilize the authority of the universe."

Xia Fa never expected that the "Paradox Joker" would start talking about quantum mechanics. It has to be said that the vision and wisdom of the gods far surpass those of others.

After thinking for a moment, he tried to say:

"So, once a god-level mutation is developed to a certain extent, it can also use or mobilize the authority of the universe?"
