I'm not just human!

The eldest brother, [Absolute Defense], survived because he was not much weaker than the Sun God King. The second brother, [Paradox Clown], survived because it seemed that even the eldest brother, [Absolute Defense], could not kill him. So the Sun God King should also be helpless.

But it's hard to say about other gods.

Although this incident did not actually occur, it was enough to make Xia Fa remain highly vigilant towards this Bedell.

In a sense, she wasn't on the side of the supernatural beings, but it didn't seem like she was on the side of the Cleaners either.

"Wait, Xia Fa, you..."

As Xia Fa was pondering, Bedell suddenly noticed something and looked him up and down with surprise.

Those two glances gave Xia Fa the feeling that he had almost been seen through.

The reason why he was almost seen through, rather than completely seen through, is that... only the three divine mutations related to the Moon Mother Goddess reacted within him, while the other secrets remained dormant.

"【Endless Creation Opportunity】【Immovable Realm】【Sea of ​​Origin of Heaven and Earth】... Interesting, very interesting. Xia Fa, it seems my previous assessment of you was much lower than expected."

Bedeil made no attempt to conceal the names of these god-level mutations, and she also made no attempt to hide the fact that Xia Fa possessed these three god-level mutations.

"Wait, besides these three divine-level mutations, you actually awakened twelve other divine-level mutations? You..."

But immediately, Bedell, who had been smiling and gentle, froze as if sensing something, her dark pupils widening slightly.

Xia Fa was about to answer her when he suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.

Beneath and Chestnut were found unconscious on the ground.

Fortunately, they were breathing steadily and were not injured; they seemed to be asleep.

Then Bedell smiled again, her mood shifting so rapidly, like a madwoman, yet her voice was exceptionally melodious and pleasant:

"Don't worry, I won't deliberately expose your secret. As for your two confidantes, the upcoming trip is too dangerous for them. You'd better put them in a safe place."

Xia Fa paused for a moment, but then waved his hand and enveloped Chestnut and Benedict in an energy protection array made of his Outer God power, and then put them into his time rift.

The reason he didn't put it in the small world was because he didn't want to reveal the coordinates of his small world to Bedell.

However, he could barely sense some of Bedell's kindness.

After all, the fact that he possessed a god-level mutation from the era of mutants was a top secret, and it was also a major trump card with a significant intelligence advantage when dealing with the Golden Cleaners.

In this situation, although he didn't care whether he was exposed in front of Benedict and Chestnut, at least Bedeille's actions were indeed for his own benefit, since she didn't know about his relationship with Benedict and Chestnut.

Even so, he did not let his guard down.

Because Xia Fa was almost certain that the gentle and tender woman in front of him was definitely the Moon Goddess from mythology!

The Moon Mother Goddess... Just thinking about those nine supreme beings—the Goddess of the Moon, the Goddess of Darkness, the Goddess of Mystery, the Goddess of Time, the Goddess of Space, the Goddess of Reincarnation, the Goddess of the Ocean, the Goddess of the Earth, and the Goddess of Life—shows how terrifying she is.

After all, it was once one of the two pillars of the universe, so it was definitely not to be underestimated.

"What brings you here? You're not going to tell me you were waiting for me here, are you?"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa decided to speak, feigning curiosity on the surface without revealing too much wariness.

This was also to put the Moon Goddess at ease, so that she wouldn't think he was hostile.

Unexpectedly, Bedell covered her mouth and chuckled. She was already extremely beautiful, and her smile was truly captivating and charming.

"Would you believe me if I told you I was waiting for you right here, ready to take you to live a life like in a paradise?"

Xia Fa shook his head, feigning naivety:

"Do not believe."

Bedell laughed:

"That settles it then. In fact, I didn't expect to meet you here. I was planning to go to the City of Gold Pounds to find you in a couple of days."

Xia Fa was startled. It seemed that the Moon Goddess not only knew that he had become an Outer God, but also knew the current coordinates of the City of Gold Pounds.

From this perspective, she does seem to be maintaining neutrality. After all, if she really wanted to cause any damage to the supernatural gods, she only needed to report this coordinate to Julius.

Especially these past few days, with the city of gold and silver holding a vengeance celebration, security has been relaxed. If Julius learns the coordinates and seizes the opportunity to attack...

“I know what you’re thinking, Shafa.”

Unexpectedly, Bedell suddenly changed the subject and brought up the topic herself.

"You must have heard some of the secrets from more than 30,000 years ago. Yes, back then I did want to briefly recreate the Sun God King from the river of time, but it wasn't entirely to deal with you extraordinary beings."

Seeing that she had taken the initiative to break the ice, Xia Fa naturally took over the topic:

"Not to deal with us extraordinary beings? Then what are you after...?"

Bedeille, however, countered with:

Do you know what happened 30,000 years ago?

Xia Fa instinctively shook his head:

"I don't know."

Bedell sighed softly:

"If you knew, you wouldn't doubt why I was so desperate to recreate the Sun God King back then. If you were me, you would definitely have done the same."

Xia Fa frowned, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes:

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

Bedell silently shook her head:

"I cannot tell you what happened 30,000 years ago. If I, as a mutant, were to reveal it, it might trigger an uncontrollable supernatural disaster. Only you supernatural beings can explore this for yourselves. After all, you have nothing to fear."

Before Xia Fa could ask any more questions, she immediately continued:

"In short, let me give you an example. If your relatives, friends, and even all the people you care about were killed by the Golden Cleaners, and then the Golden Cleaners left behind some offspring in this world, if you had the ability, wouldn't you take revenge on their offspring?"

Xia Fa had long considered this possibility: what if, under unforeseen circumstances—such as being severely injured and unconscious, or being forcibly sealed away by the Nine Great Gods—he was placed in that small world, and upon waking up, all the people he wanted to protect had been wiped out by the Golden Cleansers…

Therefore, his only choice is to become stronger by any means necessary in the small world, and then one day come out to kill all the Golden Cleaners in this world, as well as everything related to the Cleaners faction!

Therefore, upon hearing the words of the Moon Goddess, he realized that he could indeed understand some of them.

only……

"If that's the case, then why haven't you made a move in the past 30,000 years? I can understand the first 20,000 years, after all, the nine righteous gods are still alive, and especially with the [Absolute Defense] suppressing everything, but this 30,000th year..."

Xia Fa finally asked the question. If the Moon Goddess's answer was even slightly off, he wouldn't hesitate to attack her right there and now.

Otherwise, if we wait until a year or two later, when those more than ten thousand Golden Cleaners awaken, and the Moon Goddess suddenly chooses to help the Cleaners... that would be a real problem.

Bedell smiled softly, and for some reason, her dark eyes held a hint of melancholy and wistfulness:

"The reason is simple, because..."

Her eyes met Xia Fa's, her gaze calm and unwavering.

"The universe has become more and more prosperous since the birth of you extraordinary beings."

Xia Fa asked in surprise:

"Just because of that?"

Bedell laughed self-deprecatingly:

"If I had to put it into words, it was only later that I realized that you extraordinary beings... are not what I truly wanted to deal with; you are who you are."

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly:

"How so?"

Bedell replied without hesitation:

"You must have already been to some of the promised lands within the Time Fog, which is why you were able to awaken so many god-level mutations, including three that are exactly like mine. So, you probably know quite a bit about the secrets of us mutants, such as the essence of mutation?"

Xia Fa nodded:

"Ok, I know."

However, he was wary. Could it be that every time he traveled through time and space, he was not returning to the era of mutants, but instead going to the so-called Promised Land?

What exactly is going on?

Now was not the time to investigate that; he turned his attention back to Bedell's words.

"Since you know this, that makes things easier. With your intelligence that allows you to access the second Ancient Mithril Gate, you should also be able to deduce the secrets behind why the era of mutants ended and why the era of magicians began."

Bedell's voice grew increasingly wistful, and within that wistfulness lay a deep sorrow.

"We mutants... after developing for billions of years, have become fewer and fewer, and in the end, there are only tens of thousands left."

"Although the weakest among those tens of thousands is equivalent to an Outer God among you extraordinary beings, and the strongest, of course, is the Sun God King, even back then..."

"The fighting continues."

"Because the mutants' desire for power far surpasses everything else, even a thousand times or ten thousand times greater than your extraordinary beings' desire for overlord-level covenants and eternal credentials."

Do you know why?

Seeing the sorrowful look in Bedell's eyes, Xia Fa hesitated and said, "..."

"Because if I'm not strong enough, I'll be killed by other mutants who will take my mutant essence?"

Bedell nodded, but her voice grew even deeper:

"Yes, that's right. In this situation, none of us mutants can trust each other. In fact, we don't even have the slightest bit of trust."

"I myself have been targeted and attacked by other mutants countless times. Not to mention me, even the invincible Sun God King was ambushed by a mutant who went berserk."

"That atmosphere... could be described as hell on earth. All the mutants were scheming against each other, eyeing each other's mutant essence, and yearning to consume even a drop of Outer God or even True God level mutant essence, so as to awaken a few more God-level mutants."

"Moreover, under these circumstances, even the Sun God King and I cannot protect the people we want to protect. There are just too many bizarre and difficult-to-defend-against divine mutations. It would be useless if we hid the people we want to protect to the ends of the earth."

“I had family and friends back then, and I was really looking forward to meeting someone I liked, but many of them were dead, dead!”

"They all died at the hands of mutants who coveted the mutated essence within them!"

"Even they themselves... are killing each other!"

When she said those last few words, Bedell's voice was almost hoarse, as if she were seeing those hellish scenes again.

"You think that we mutants killed until only a hundred or so people were left, and then finally stopped killing and started sharing our divine power with mortals, thus ushering in the era of magicians, but that's not the case."

"That's because the mutants have finally reached a level where none of them can completely kill the other, whether they are God-level mutants or Celestial Venerable-level mutants. Of course, there is also the factor of the Sun God King's strong protection of the remaining Celestial Venerable-level mutants."

"As for the mutated people at the God level, they can no longer be sure of killing each other, and that's how they've been locked in a stalemate for hundreds of millions of years."
