I'm not just human!

The Moon Goddess flew over and began to observe the entity enveloped in chaotic lightning.

[“Tsk tsk, how could a young man who has never awakened a mutation and has never been exposed to magic be chosen by the heart and stomach of the Sun God King? And what about the other powers within him…”]

Suddenly, under the "time stop" effect of the Moon Mother Goddess, a mutated righteous god of the cosmic pillar level, the being enveloped in chaotic lightning actually moved, as if struggling on instinct, or as if trying to escape.

The Moon Goddess was suddenly startled, and a look of great surprise appeared on her flawlessly beautiful face.

"To actually resist my time-stopping technique, this is simply..."

Without another word, she pressed her pale, delicate hand against the being enveloped in chaotic lightning, then with a swift pull, drew out ninety percent of its blood with a loud whoosh.

The blood was an eerie, pitch-black color, as if each drop contained a burning black flame, accompanied by the faint, incoherent murmurs of madness.

[Clearly, the reason this being enveloped in chaotic lightning is so unstable is because its blood contains too much of the pitch-black flames that are causing it to spiral out of control.]

[The Moon Goddess casually waved her other hand, and a sandalwood box appeared. She poured all the dark blood into it, then reached down to her waist and took out a pure white, light-seeking silver crystal the size of a lychee from her pouch.]

The pure white, light-traveling crystalline silver melted and stretched rapidly in her palm, instantly transforming into a metal nameplate.

The Moon Goddess suddenly tilted her head to sense something, then chuckled softly, "So your name is Xia Fa. That's a good name. The person who chose this name must be very talented."

Immediately, a burst of light appeared on the pure white, luminous silver metal plaque, revealing the words "Opened by Xia Fa".

After affixing the metal plaque to the sandalwood box, the Moon Goddess carried the box away and departed.

However, before leaving, she glanced at several strange and extraordinary beings not far away. These extraordinary beings were actually all Celestial Venerables, but precisely because they were Celestial Venerables, they were completely unable to withstand her time-stopping technique.

[Once the Moon Goddess had flown far away, the time freeze was lifted. Under the horrified gazes of the Celestial Venerables, the being enveloped in chaotic lightning also fled at an incredible speed.]

In just a few breaths, the being enveloped in chaotic lightning actually flew to the depths of the starry sky. Suddenly, its entire body burst into flames with a "boom," and its erratic flight came to a halt.

The chaotic lightning gradually receded, revealing Xia Fa's strong and slender body. However, he was in a deep coma, his skin peeling off, and his condition remained extremely unstable. The heart and stomach of the Sun God King, which he had only partially absorbed, were embedded in his front and back, respectively.

With a deafening roar, it intensified even further than before; the transparent, colorless flames surged so powerfully that they threatened to spread over an area spanning hundreds of miles.

Despite the intense burning, the Sun God King's heart and stomach actually slowed down their fusion with Shafa's body, continuing to merge in a gentler, yet virtually risk-free, manner.

The transparent, colorless flames seemed to come alive, extending equally colorless and transparent tentacles that explored the depths of the Star Spirit's starry sky, easily stretching out over a distance of thousands of light-years.

Suddenly, hundreds of runes were transmitted from one of the tentacles. The colorless and transparent flames immediately received them, contracted into a transparent spherical shell, enveloped Xia Fa, and flew directly towards the direction from which the runes were transmitted.

This time, under the control of the colorless and transparent flames, it flew even faster than when controlled by the chaotic lightning, reaching its destination in an instant.

[It turned out to be an ancient tomb hidden in a subspace deep within the Protoss star system. This ancient tomb was only half-built and not yet completed. Inside, there were well-crafted treasures everywhere, as well as various in-depth studies on the development of the "Silver Throne," a supreme-level secret contract.]

Above the grand and imposing tomb entrance of the ancient cemetery, the words "Rhine Calamity" are written in cryptic script, alongside an image of the Rhine Calamity wielding a cleaver with twelve arms.

[Under the control of the colorless, transparent flames, Shafa, still unconscious, flew inside and hid in the most inconspicuous corner of the ancient tomb of the Rhine Calamity, beneath a leaf in a vibrant garden, shrinking to the size of a dewdrop.]

The scene suddenly zooms out, taking in the entire universe from a bird's-eye view. Stars shift and time flies, and scenes of human life pass by in the blink of an eye. It seems that 30,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In a corner of the unfinished ancient necropolis of the Rhine Calamity, in that vibrant garden, beneath a leaf, a tiny, dew-like creature enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, suddenly detached itself from the leaf, crashing through the necropolis and bursting out.

This time, the colorless, transparent flame carried Xia Fa, who had gone from a coma to a deep sleep, directly to the real world and quickly circled several of the largest and most prosperous life-bearing planets.

Then, it stopped in the sky above Rum City.

Chapter 525 The Birth of the Gods (Part 4)

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa pondered for a moment and realized something.

Judging from this situation, it seems that it was extremely difficult for me, as an ordinary person who did not possess any mutated or extraordinary power 30,000 years ago, to fuse with the heart or stomach of the Sun God King.

Therefore, the combination of "Eternal Talent" and "Eternal Loss of Control" allowed him to absorb for 30,000 years?

No, it shouldn't be as simple as absorbing the heart or stomach of the Sun God King for a full 30,000 years; there's also the issue of "complete fusion."

The perfect fusion and harmonious coexistence of the ordinary human being as its original form, the heart and stomach of the Sun God King from the mutated system, and the two of the five fundamental eternal credentials from the extraordinary system—the [Eternal Talent] and the [Eternal Loss of Control]—is extremely difficult.

Therefore, he "slept" for 30,000 years until the three were completely integrated and no longer conflicted with each other.

But why did I still end up in Rum City under the influence of the [Eternal Talent], and even undergo a reincarnation?

With these questions in mind, Xia Fa continued reading.

[Sharfa, no bigger than a dewdrop and enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, hovered above Rum City, completely unnoticed by demigods or angels who occasionally passed by.]

Above, the sun and moon rise and set in turn, white clouds drift by, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter visit this small town year after year; several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Xia Fa, no bigger than a dewdrop and enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, moved.

He slowly descended, flying to Daniel Street in the main city of Rum, to the slums of Daniel Street, and to an old, two-story attic.

In the attic, a young couple looked distressed. They had been married for several years but had been unable to conceive. Doctors had not helped, and prayers at St. Vivian's Church had also been ineffective.

Given their social standing—shipping dock clerks and restaurant kitchen helpers—they simply couldn't afford to hire extraordinary doctors who had signed secret contracts with "healers."

Not to mention, they had to rush to Augustus and pull strings to get there.

Unbeknownst to the young couple, the tiny, dewdrop-sized Shafa, enveloped in colorless, transparent flames, had quietly entered the wife's body.

A little over a month later, the young couple were overjoyed to discover that the wife was pregnant. The husband worked even harder at the dock, and the wife, despite being pregnant, worked tirelessly in the restaurant kitchen from dawn till dusk, and even secretly learned some children's meal recipes.

[For no other reason than to provide a better environment for the unborn child, no matter how hard or tiring it may be.]

One day, after finishing his work as a dockworker, the husband slipped on the bridge on his way home and fell into the sea, knocking unconscious a "treasure-swallowing pufferfish." This was a relatively inexpensive supernatural creature, but the price he made was enough to cover half a year's salary.

To his even greater surprise, the treasure-swallowing pufferfish had a whole bag of gold coins hidden inside its belly!

The money pouch was made of tanned deer hide, a type of hide that is resistant to corrosion even in seawater. Therefore, the gold coins inside were remarkably well-preserved, and the treasure-swallowing pufferfish even managed to swallow them.

Having received such a windfall, equivalent to more than the couple's combined income over the past ten years, the husband immediately persuaded his wife to quit her job and stay home to rest during her pregnancy, while he worked even harder.

However, neither the couple noticed that high above Rum City, the extraordinary monarch of the "Church of Paradox," "Emperor Sharatul," after confirming that the couple were living a happy and stable life without any financial worries, couldn't help but show a faint smile on his usually serious face before departing with satisfaction.

All of this was, in fact, the influence of His "eternal condition" approach.

Finally, after ten months of pregnancy, my wife gave birth to a healthy, chubby baby.

The baby didn't cry or fuss at birth; he simply pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, then fell asleep after a while. The couple found it strange, but didn't think much of it.

The husband cooked the dried pufferfish he had prepared long ago into a soup and fed it to his beloved son. He hadn't sold the pufferfish, fearing that others would covet it, so he secretly dried it in the pickling room in his attic. Later, he used half of it to make soup for his wife who was about to give birth, and kept the other half for his son.

Based on the surnames and middle names passed down from his grandfather and father, the husband named his son "Shaphat de Augustus".

[Shaffer grew up happily, spending his days either fishing in the sea with his cousin Hercules or hunting rabbits, pheasants, and bird eggs in the wilderness with his cousin Locke. Of course, he spent most of his time studying at the school in Rum City.]

Even as he grew up and worked as a dockworker with his father, he harbored a dual desire to become an extraordinary being and a wish to marry a gentle and beautiful wife and start his own family.

When he was nineteen, his parents suddenly disappeared. He searched everywhere for them in vain for several years, almost in despair and nearly going insane.

[After finally managing to pull through with the hope that her parents might still be alive, she was preparing to work like crazy to save money to hire a superhuman to help her find them when, not long after, she was accidentally entangled by a snow demon.]

[After being tormented by the extreme cold for three consecutive nights, he fainted. But not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer filled with exhaustion and despair, but instead they were dark and bright, full of curiosity and exploration of the world, as well as caution and wariness.]

The images in his mind ended there, but Xia Fa was stunned.

To be honest, perhaps because he initially thought he was a "time traveler," he didn't have much of an impression of the original owner's parents.

Now he understands that his parents really loved him very much and gave him the best possible environment, almost everything they had.

And then there's our great-grandfather, Emperor Sharatu, who seems to care nothing for these descendants with thin bloodlines who can't sign secret pacts, but in reality, he secretly provides them with a great deal of appropriate assistance.

Of course, it's possible that there were too many descendants like Gilgamesh with thin bloodlines, which meant that his great-grandfather had too many things to take care of. After confirming that he and his parents were safe and sound and living a happy and stable life, he didn't pay much attention to them anymore.

Otherwise, when I signed the first and second hegemon-level secret contracts, my great-grandfather might have been able to sense it earlier.

Of course, in that case, I might miss out on a lot of extraordinary encounters. I would just be carefully nurtured in the family. Whether that would be good or bad is hard to say.

As for why he was reincarnated once, he already had a vague idea.

"Now you understand, right?"

The young man opposite suddenly spoke, continuing with a smile:

"【Eternal Talent】and 【Eternal Loss of Control】 took a full 30,000 years to completely stabilize your state, and then specially selected the most suitable environment for your stable anchor point in the entire universe, taking you to reincarnate."

Xia Fa responded with a smile:

"I understand. Only by living in this universe for more than 20 years as an ordinary person on a life-bearing planet in a supernatural world can I avoid confusion about my self-awareness. This is my own 'anchor point,' and it is necessary."

The young man nodded:

"Yes, not only that, but you also think of yourself as a 'time traveler,' so your strong ability to accept things is also key. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to accept so quickly that they can randomly freeload meals, become physical, and have a burning sensation in their body to save their life in times of crisis. They would have gone crazy and mentally unstable long ago."

He paused, then changed the subject:

"On the other hand, the family you were chosen to be reincarnated into by the [Eternal Talent] is actually very good. The bloodline of the Gilgamesh family can further enhance your talent, which is why you have the potential to sign all ten overlord-level secret contracts. As for the bloodline of the Prometheus family, it is probably just so that you can get that sandalwood box containing your whole body of tainted blood in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite grateful for both the "Eternal Talent" and the "Eternal Loss of Control."

Although these two fundamental eternal credentials do not possess true intelligence, they have indeed helped them a great deal through their instincts and authority.

"Alright, now apart from a few minor issues, you shouldn't have any major doubts in your mind, right?"

The young man opposite suddenly asked a question, his expression once again bearing a strange yet expectant smile.

Xia Fa suddenly became alert. Although he was very certain that the young man opposite him was a part of his spirit and even looked exactly like him, the young man's behavior... seemed a little strange.

Why is he so concerned about figuring out all the doubts in his mind?

Bang!!!!!

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the young man opposite exploded, turning into countless blue light spots that converged towards him.

The speed was extremely fast, and Xia Fa had no time to react. The blue light spot that the youth had transformed into had completely merged into his body. Immediately afterwards, the manifestation of the "omniscient" authority, which had originally seemed to cover the sky and be endless, including books, newspapers, and television sets, also merged into his body.

In that instant, Xia Fa suddenly realized something.

That young man was indeed a part of his own spirit, and the reason he so desperately wanted to understand most of the doubts in his heart was to... expedite the signing of the [Ancient Secrets].

That's right. When most of the doubts in one's heart are answered, one is equivalent to reaching the state of "knowing". This can be in line with the authority of "omniscience", greatly accelerate the signing of the [Ancient Secrets], and there are actually no hidden dangers.

If it weren't for this, even with my current strength, it would take me about three days to complete the signing. If it were a fifth-tier god, it might take tens of thousands of years to complete the signing.

After all, this is the only supreme-level secret agreement in the universe that represents the authority of "omniscience".

Countless pieces of knowledge, information, intelligence, secrets, rumors, news, etc. suddenly flooded into his brain, but Xia Fa did not feel any pain at all; on the contrary, he felt extremely comfortable.

Because he had completely grasped the power of "omniscience," he could only feel pleasure towards all of this.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that he could turn the "omniscient" state on or off at any time.

If it's enabled, you'll be aware of everything that happens in this world anytime, anywhere.

If it's turned off, it'll be the same as before, but whatever doubts you have, as long as they're within this world, you'll know them immediately and automatically.
