I'm not just human!

"The one you signed... is the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret agreement, isn't it? Heh."

Chapter 91 The Technology for Developing Overlord-Level Secret Contracts

At this moment, Xia Fa's astonishment surpassed everything else.

You should know that when he signed the Ether Source Secret Contract last time, he was surrounded by those unknown beings, but none of them could immediately identify which contract he had signed.

But now, this unknown being, who looked like a young miner but had no facial features, immediately realized that he had signed the Silver Throne, a secret contract of the overlord level.

Furthermore, he also said that he is the younger brother of the storyteller, so what's going on?

"Don't be afraid, and don't be wary of me. I am neither a physical being like my brother, nor one of those minor gods and outer gods who wander in the Protoss Realm and cannot approach the real world. I am just a... sigh..."

The young miner shook his head halfway through his sentence, as if he suddenly couldn't continue, and took another sip of the liquor from the jug.

This time, Xia Fa saw it clearly: he had actually shoved the wine jar directly into the mouth area, as if he had plunged in a dagger.

But as he swallowed the wine and pulled out the jar, the wound he had been stabbed with healed quickly.

Just before the wound healed, it writhed and made a sound, just like a real mouth speaking.

"After so many years, we've finally met someone who has signed the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract. My brother and Absolute Defense would be very happy to know this, wouldn't they?"

Xia Fa felt a slight tremor in his heart. Absolute defense?

That's one of the nine great gods!

Moreover, Xia Fa always felt that among the nine righteous gods, the title of the righteous god "First History" sounded a bit strange, but the title of the righteous god "Absolute Defense" was domineering and lofty enough, always triggering countless associations in him.

Judging from the title alone, does "Absolute Defense" mean that this righteous god can defend against all attacks in the world?

Why did the young miner just say that [Absolute Defense] would be very happy to know that it had signed the Silver Throne, a hegemon-level secret contract?

Moreover, the person who asked the question seemed to care quite a bit about this.

"I know you must have heard some rumors. After all, if you can sign the Silver Throne, you must have a way to get this overlord-level secret contract. Heh, even after tens of thousands of years, this overlord-level secret contract is still very valuable, right?"

The young miner poked at the fire again, making it burn brighter, as if he were very sensitive to the cold, before continuing:

"Some people have probably told you that the nine Great Gods of this world are fake, and you shouldn't believe them. They are real. It was the nine Great Gods who wiped out all the Great Old Ones in the universe and protected humans, demi-humans, and supernatural beings."

These words suddenly reminded Xia Fa of something.

When he signed the secret pact last time, the most powerful of those unknown beings did indeed say that the nine righteous gods of this world were all fake, and that He Himself was the "Nature Monarch".

Xia Fa initially didn't believe it, but now he was starting to have doubts.

After all, he is currently in the process of signing the second secret contract, and he cannot easily believe anything that any being he encounters says.

In other words, if the young miner claims that the nine righteous gods are real, then he should remain skeptical to avoid being misled and losing control.

On the other hand, it seems unlikely that all nine righteous gods are fake.

To be honest, Xia Fa was a little confused.

"Heh, quite a wary little guy. He pretended not to see me the whole time and didn't talk to me. Oh well, just remember this: if you want to obtain the technology to develop the Silver Throne, the overlord-level secret contract you signed, go to my brother or [Absolute Defense]. They will help you."

The young miner picked up the jug and stood up; in that instant, he and his campfire vanished.

The moment he stood up, the darkness receded like a tide.

Xia Fa suddenly felt his vision return. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the heavy, dark blue curtains that blocked out the sunlight, and the mahogany table in front of the curtains.

On the table, the wooden board bearing the supreme secret agreement of the Silver Throne still lay quietly, as if it had never cracked.

However, all the secret inscriptions on the wooden board, which were a hundred times more numerous than those on a high-level secret contract, had disappeared.

Xia Fa reached out and touched all over his body. Sure enough, his body was still there and had never exploded.

"It really was an illusion..."

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief, but the young miner's words kept replaying in his mind.

Why would the entity who asked the question, and the "Absolute Defense" among the nine righteous gods, be so happy to learn that they had signed the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract?

Could it be that the two of them... also signed the Silver Throne?

Do physical beings and deities also need to sign secret agreements?

And what exactly is the development technology of the Overlord-level Secret Contract?

And what about the Nine Great Gods... are they real or fake?

If it's true or false, then why has the world been so peaceful and prosperous for tens of thousands of years?

These doubts were like nails, driven into Xia Fa's heart, impossible to remove.

He composed himself and forced himself not to think about it for the time being.

Because he sensed that at the boundary between his mental body and his astral body, a layered cryptic text was slowly emerging.

This is... a supreme-level secret covenant, the Silver Throne!

To be honest, the process of signing the Silver Throne this time was more painful for him in terms of hallucinations than last time, but falling into that boundless darkness was actually more relaxing.

Looking back, the young miner seemed to have been quite friendly and didn't try to trick him into doing anything.

However, what the young miner said contained too many profound meanings and secrets; there might be hidden traps waiting for him to fall into.

As Xia Fazheng pondered, suddenly, the layered secret text completely surfaced.

boom!!!!!

At that moment, countless pieces of knowledge and information poured into his mind like a tidal wave being poured into a small bottle.

Xia Fa, who hadn't uttered a single groan when his body exploded in his hallucination, now clutched his head, staggered back several steps in pain, and slumped into a chair against the wall.

The chair creaked loudly, blood seeped from the corners of his eyes and nostrils, and his wide eyes were bloodshot, as if he was about to burst from the overwhelming amount of knowledge and information.

He was breathing heavily, and after a while, he slowly came to his senses, and his expression was no longer so frantic.

After calming down, Xia Fa braced himself on the armrests of the chair and slowly stood up.

His eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, already brimming with surprise.

Just now, the first five secret abilities of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract, were infused into his mind.

These five secret abilities are like information from a higher dimension, so they cannot even be understood through words or images. They are almost forced on his consciousness and mind to learn, which is why he had such a strong reaction just now.

Now, having gained a basic understanding of these five secret abilities, Xia Fa felt nothing but overwhelming joy.

He dared not delay and immediately began to recall these five secret abilities, converting them into a form of text that he could understand in his mind.

Gradually, the names of the five secret abilities shifted and emerged in his mind, namely—

Rheinmetall

[Destroyed Silver]

[Mithril Seal]

【Star Silver Rush】

【Red and Silver Full Defense】

Chapter 92 First Attempt, Rhine Silver Mercury!

"Truly worthy of being a top-tier secret agreement..."

Recalling the five newly acquired secret abilities, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Each of these five secret abilities is far more powerful than the original secret technique he mastered after fully understanding the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source—the Holy Spirit Crystal.

Of course, the Holy Spirit Crystal is also useful, since it doesn't conflict with the five secret abilities of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

"I remember Dick Tudor saying that when I first signed the contract, I could only master a maximum of two secret abilities, but why are there five?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment, unsure whether Dick had misremembered or if he himself was exceptionally gifted.

However, he was naturally pleased to have mastered five secret abilities of the Silver Throne right from the start.

Moreover, neither his mind nor his body showed any signs of losing control due to simultaneously mastering five secret abilities.

Aside from the initial moment when I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of high-dimensional knowledge and information, almost fainting...

Based on the information we just obtained, the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract, has a total of ten secret contract abilities. The other five can only be mastered by gradually understanding the contents of the secret contract.

But Xia Fa wasn't greedy. The five secret abilities were already enough for him, so he immediately began to examine them carefully one by one.

Rhine Silver Mercury is the most core of the five secret abilities and the foundation of all other secret abilities in the Silver Throne.

Or, to be more precise, Rhine Silver Mercury is the core ability of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

Because he needs to use Rhine Silver Mercury to enter the state of the "Silver Throne".

Moreover, based on the knowledge and information he had just acquired, when he becomes a demigod, an angel, or a ruler, his core ability, Rhine Silver Mercury, will evolve to varying degrees.

But what exactly he will evolve into is something we'll only know once he reaches the demigod level or higher.

Seeing that the living iron powder that filled the air was still there, Xia Fa immediately waved his hand, and an invisible supernatural power surged out from his palm, expanding the "enclosed space" formed by the living iron powder several times.

The live iron powder seemed insufficient, so he took out more from the wooden jar on the table and sprinkled it into the air as a supplement.

After doing all this, Xia Fa took a deep breath, his expression becoming somewhat excited and thrilled.

I... have finally become an Insect-level Transcendent. Although it still sounds weak, it is a big step forward nonetheless.

Moreover, it had only been three days since he signed the last secret agreement.

Compared to those extraordinary individuals who couldn't even fully comprehend the contents of the first secret contract after several years, I'm already much faster.

Now, Xia Fa is preparing to test the core capability of Rhine Silver Mercury!

With a slight thought in his mind, a large number of secret texts flowed through his dark pupils.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded!

Xia Fa clearly felt that a large amount of hot, mercury-like silver mercury suddenly seeped out of his eye sockets, ear canals, and nostrils.

Not only that, but suddenly a crack appeared on both sides of his neck, wrists, and ankles, like a mouth without lips, and... a large amount of silver mercury gushed out!

These mercury crystals possess astonishingly high temperatures, and the moment they emerge, they are immediately accompanied by a large amount of mercury vapor.

Xia Fa truly felt his skin and the muscles beneath it instantly being scalded by the high temperature of the mercury. His skin ulcerated, his muscles were cooked, and the smell of burnt protein immediately filled the wooden house.
