I'm not just human!

Those elegant and graceful immortals, furious warriors, lone chivalrous heroes...

Moreover, they are all powerful enough to harm the masters of superhuman beings. What kind of combat power must they have? Multiverse level?

As a painter, one's imagination is richest and one is quickest to grasp the concept of "transient reality." At this moment, one can't help but exhale a long breath, one's expression filled with a strange longing:

"I really want to go see other worlds..."

……

At this moment.

The Promised Land, a "Gathering Place of Geniuses"

"Why did the vision from my godhood ritual suddenly retract on its own?"

Xiafa was in this place, where the gray mist of time isolated all perception and information. Although some of the Promised Lands had some connection to the outside world, they had long been cleared away by the shell of [Absolute Defense], making it a veritable wasteland.

Therefore, he was only a little puzzled by the strange behavior just now, and did not think much of it.

Across from him, a young man who looked exactly like him smiled:

"It should be fine, right? It's not like the master of the superhuman suddenly showed up. Besides, even if it did, it might not be able to beat you."

Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully:

"Too."

He had previously discussed this issue with the "himself" on the other side: if this universe could be easily crushed by that mysterious and enormous being, then why was he able to grow to be almost as strong as it?

Then, the young man gave an explanation that he couldn't refuse.

“Imagine you break a light bulb.” The young man actually conjured a light bulb on the spot and continued, “Of course you can’t say that the light bulb is stronger than you.”

"But what if you just stepped on this light bulb and it came back to life, even becoming bigger than before, and even giving birth to many creatures similar to your race, only much smaller?"

"Even if you crush it countless times, trying to destroy it completely, it can still recover and adapt to your power time and time again."

Finally, the young man said that the power of each world is actually incredibly strong, and can be described as having unlimited potential. Not to mention the birth of an existence like Xia Fa, under certain circumstances, even more powerful beings may be born.

Therefore, Xia Fa's worries about the "master of the extraordinary" possibly returning suddenly tens of thousands of years later gradually dissipated.

"Alright, now you should tell me why there are Chinese characters in the secret text, right?"

Xia Fa looked at the young man opposite him again and continued:

"And why did I live as 'Shafa de Augustus' in Rum City for over twenty years before suddenly awakening my original memories?"

Chapter 524 The Birth of the Gods (Part 3)

Unexpectedly, when Xia Fa asked these two questions, the "self" opposite him suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Besides the world beyond the depths of the Protoss star system and the origins of the transcendent beings' masters, these should be the only remaining questions in your mind, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa nodded very sincerely:

"Yes."

Since I'm facing "myself" anyway, there's nothing to hide. I shouldn't be ashamed to ask questions.

However, the "self" on the other side did indeed have a rather strange smile.

Just then, a young man who looked exactly like him spoke up.

"The reason why there are Chinese characters in the secret text is actually very simple. When the secret text was tainted by the dark flames of the universe's origin 30,000 years ago and the rules for its formation were determined, it was originally a secret text constructed from the scripts of all kinds of civilizations in the universe."

Xia Fa was taken aback:

"That's it? But...but why..."

To be honest, he was a little disappointed when he heard this answer. He had thought that the fact that there were Chinese characters in the secret contract would involve the ultimate secrets of this world and even the outside world.

The result is simply because the original universe contained Chinese characters, cuneiform script, and hieroglyphs, so the origin of the universe was taken and used directly to construct the secret text.

Moreover, thinking about it this way, when I was on Tianxuan Star, and even on the dozens of planets occupied by the human civilization I was in at that time, a large number of people did use Chinese characters.

However, the reason why I am full of curiosity and doubt about the Chinese characters in the secret contract is that the Chinese characters on each secret contract just happen to form that poem. On the other hand, when I was still relatively weak, I tried to write the secret text according to the original meaning of the Chinese characters, and then I encountered the greatest danger warning of my life.

So, what exactly are the reasons for these two things?

Seemingly sensing his inner doubt, or perhaps because the "young man" opposite him was Xia Fa himself, the young man smiled and said without Xia Fa even having to ask:

“I know what you’re thinking. It’s what I was wondering about a few hours ago too. I can answer your questions one by one.”

"First of all, although Chinese characters were one of the major writing systems in the universe 30,000 years ago, if we have to say, Chinese characters are absolutely the most advanced, most complex, most complete, longest-standing, most widely known, and most profound writing system, without exception."

"As a Tianxuan Star person, you should be able to understand this."

"Therefore, even though the origin of the universe used Chinese characters to construct the secret text, it regarded Chinese characters as the highest level of secret text, even higher than the ancient secret text. That is why it was used to carry the greatest secret."

"On the other hand, once Chinese characters are constructed into cryptic texts, their meanings are different from the originals. However, cryptic texts are used to communicate with extraordinary powers and even the power of the universe's origin."

“In this situation, if you use Chinese characters to write secret texts and try to use the original meaning of Chinese characters to communicate with the power of the universe, it is equivalent to… directly using the authority of the universe itself.”

“And this is something even the true gods wouldn’t dare to do, not even the King of the Golden Cleansers would dare to do. This is practically the work of the Creator God.”

"After all, you can create whatever you write down without expending your own power. Who but the Creator God could do that?"

"So, when you... or rather when we tried it, your spiritual intuition gave you a frantic warning to prevent you from shattering directly because you violated the taboo."

Hearing this, Xia Fa asked curiously:

"Could it be that there really is some kind of creator god?"

The young man opposite shook his head:

"As far as I know, no, but once you sign ten overlord-level secret contracts and are able to directly control the origin of the universe and use any cosmic authority at will, you will probably be similar to the creator god of this world."

Xia Fa felt a sudden surge of warmth in his heart, because the young man's words reminded him of this matter.

Initially, when he won the Golden Fighting Grand Prix and gained the right to peruse the Golden Beacon Scroll, he clearly saw that signing all ten Overlord-level secret contracts could potentially touch the origin of the universe, and other things might also happen.

However, at that time, no one knew what would happen, since no one had ever completed the second orthodox path to godhood.

Now, according to the confirmation from "himself" who is currently in control of "omniscience," signing all ten overlord-level secret contracts is not as simple as touching the origin of the universe, but rather... directly gaining control over the origin of the universe!

"So, does that mean I can just have the origin of the universe erase and create the Golden Cleaners? Hmm... there are many, many other things I can do..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself, pondering for a long time. The young man opposite him waited patiently, without any impatience. Instead, his expression showed a hint of anticipation.

We hope that Xia Fa will continue to ask questions.

After making a rough plan, Xia Fa finally raised his head again and said:

"You just said that when the origin of the universe used Chinese characters to construct the secret text, it chose Chinese characters to carry the greatest secret. That secret must be related to that poem, right? So, what exactly is that secret...?"

At this point, he couldn't help but recall the mysterious poems composed of Chinese characters that appeared on every secret contract.

"Shi Lou whispered advice to its paws."

"What appears in the sunlight is a huge, gray mountain range."

"Turning around majestically between heaven and earth."

"The scorching charcoal dried the eye sockets, and the red-hot iron coagulated the blood."

"A wailing heart, a gluttonous silence, a mocking lament."

He once thought that this poem referred to the Gold Cleaner.

But then they realized something was wrong; the Gold Cleaner didn't have claws.

Afterwards, he assumed that the poem referred to the master of the extraordinary.

But that makes even more sense. The master of an extraordinary being is more than a hundred times larger than the entire universe. How could he possibly "appear in the sunlight" and "turn around majestically between heaven and earth"?

But now, the "self" on the other side says that this poem carries the greatest secret even to the origin of the universe, which makes Xia Fa extremely curious.

Unexpectedly, the young man opposite him shook his head and smiled apologetically.

"I'm very sorry, I don't know either."

"You don't know either?" Xia Fa was taken aback, but immediately realized something. "Could it be that this secret comes from outside our world?"

The young man nodded slightly:

"That's right. Anything that even the omniscient authority can't figure out can only come from outside our world. As for why the origin of the universe would be carried in Chinese characters, who this poem is about, and what its connection is with the master of the superhuman... we'll have to explore that for ourselves when we go outside the world in the future."

“Hmm…” Xia Fa pondered. Putting everything else aside, the existence recorded in this poem must be closely related to the so-called master of the extraordinary being.

Since that's the case, there's really no way to know for sure right now. As the young man said, we can only wait until we go beyond the world to explore it.

He was actually very curious about what was beyond the world. After all, if there was a master of superhuman abilities who could shatter the universe and usher in a superhuman era, then the world beyond must be vast and boundless, and must be full of all sorts of secrets and opportunities.

However, exploring beyond the world is probably a long way off.

"I understand more or less, so there's only one last question left."

Xia Fa exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at "himself" opposite him again.

The young man opposite smiled slightly:

"This situation is actually a bit complicated. You'll have to see for yourself, but you'll understand once you do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Fa suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and countless images flooded his mind.

That was in the Star Spirit Starfield, a Star Spirit Starfield that had been formed for hundreds of years and had long since stabilized.

[A being, as large as a villa and enveloped in chaotic lightning, streaked across the Star Spirit Starry Sky like a shooting star, easily shattering Star Spirits, Ghost Realms, and even the True Realms of Gods in its path. However, after traveling a distance, it suddenly vanished into the Star Spirit Starry Sky and disappeared.]

[After some time, the being enveloped in chaotic lightning suddenly reappeared from the Protoss sky, still flying forward as if aimlessly. Occasionally, when it encountered the extraordinary tombs of the Great Old Ones, it would instinctively avoid them, flying off to other places before disappearing back into the starry sky.]

It seemed to possess only instinct, yet it also appeared to be in a state of absolute chaos and on the verge of spiraling out of control; apart from the faint outline of a human figure, nothing else could be clearly seen.

Therefore, it did not notice that a graceful and tall figure was following it not far behind.

"The Sun God King's heart and stomach... wait, that young man seems to be unable to hold on..."

The graceful, tall figure murmured to herself, then suddenly bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind.

The light from a distant star shone on her face, revealing her flawless features—she was none other than the Moon Goddess.

"Never mind, never mind, since we've run into him, let's help him out. This kid... who knows, he might be able to..."

The Moon Goddess sighed softly, ignoring her still-healing injuries, and suddenly raised her hand towards the distant entity enveloped in chaotic lightning.

Time seemed to freeze for a fleeting moment throughout the entire universe, or perhaps, it was only time in this Star Spirit realm that was frozen. The being enveloped in chaotic lightning was also abruptly stopped mid-flight, and even the strange domain it shattered solidified in the starry sky in the state it had just split apart.
