Chapter 373 The Birth of the Son of the True God: A Young Opponent Who Can Rival Xia Fa.
Above the night sky, countless stars twinkled, and a bright, clear moon cast its gentle light upon the earth.
Xia Fa stood atop the city wall of the City of Ten Thousand Stars, enjoying the cool sea breeze, and gazing at the surging waves of the sea in the dead of night.
Just minutes before, after finishing his conversation with the young miner, he used his own strength to escape the mysterious dark space and return to the small world.
However, he did not choose to stay in the small world, but instead came to the City of Ten Thousand Stars to relax.
Of course, this is also because the small world is always bathed in sunlight, day and night. It's not a problem when his mind is calm, but now that his mind is a bit chaotic, he's finding it hard to adapt.
"Since the young miner has made the request, I'll just ask him directly the next time Lord [Paradox Clown] contacts me."
Recalling what had just happened, Xia Fa made a decision.
As for why they don't actively pray to or offer sacrifices to the [Paradox Clown] to connect with Him—it's obviously impossible.
Because Xia Fa knew that the Paradox Clown might already be fighting those fake gods and the Golden Cleanser Alm the Greatbow.
If you seek Him out and He mistakenly thinks you have some urgent matter, causing Him to be distracted—that would be disastrous for the Paradox Clown himself and the entire universe.
In particular, if Lord Paradox Joker loses because of this, those few fake gods alone would be enough to wipe out all the extraordinary beings in the universe, and no one could stop them.
"At first, the fake Nine Great Gods and the awakened Golden Cleansers were probably afraid that Lord Absolute Defense might return at any time in full force, so they did not dare to easily take action against the extraordinary beings in the universe and were waiting for a foolproof opportunity."
"Furthermore, because the real nine Great Gods either hid themselves or quietly replaced some of the fake nine Great Gods, they were unable to force the nine Great Gods to take action, thereby waking up the more than 10,000 sleeping Golden Cleaners ahead of time."
"As for now, they have indeed found the nine true gods, but the sleeping Golden Cleaners are surrounded by the barrier of the [First History] in human form, and they cannot be awakened within the next two months —"
Based on the information he had gathered, Xia Fa sorted out his thoughts and couldn't help but sigh. The extraordinary beings in the entire universe and the Star Spirit Realm seemed carefree, but in reality, they were always walking a tightrope, facing annihilation at any moment.
If, a few months ago, Lord Silver Universe had been found by the fake Nine Great Gods or the awakened Golden Cleansers, besieged and forced to make a move, deliberately letting his divine aura dissipate in order to awaken those more than ten thousand Golden Cleansers—I'm afraid that all the extraordinary beings in the entire universe would have been wiped out by now.
Alternatively, if Lord Absolute Defense returns early, before Lord Paradox Clown and Lord First History return to replace the fake ones, the Golden Cleansers will choose to hold off Lord Absolute Defense, and then the fake Nine Great Gods will be responsible for cleaning up all the extraordinary beings in the universe.
Fortunately, whether it was due to the good planning of the gods, such as the Paradox Clown, or just a coincidence, we have finally created this rare situation where we have two months to catch our breath.
"By the way, if there are over ten thousand Gold Cleaners, how many Silver and Bronze Cleaners are there?"
Thinking about this question, Xia Fa suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
Especially if a Silver Cleanser can lead three hundred Bronze Cleansers—
Fortunately, the Celestial Spirit Realm also has many Outer Gods and unknown beings of equal rank, as well as Quasi-Celestials and Celestials.
Especially the Quasi-Celestial Venerables and Celestial Venerables, when the True Gods are not present, can easily block countless Silver Cleaners, and even turn the tables and annihilate them.
Now that he has become a god, Xia Fa understands that many of the beings with godhood outside the gods in the Celestial Spirit Realm have never actually entered the real world in their entire lives, let alone been born in the real world.
Either they were born in the Protoss Realm at the level of a god or higher, or they wandered and grew in the Protoss Realm and gradually acquired the level of a god. That's why there are so many of them; just holding an Unknown Beings Conference alone would have tens of thousands of them.
This is completely different from the situation where humans and demi-humans need to sign secret contracts and absorb and contain eternal certificates in order to become gods.
Interestingly, it seems that most of the nine main gods are human or demi-human.
In other words, signing secret contracts, absorbing and embracing the certificate of eternity, and climbing step by step—this path, though the most difficult, holds the greatest promise and is the true road to prosperity.
Xia Fa even suspected that the reason why some Celestial Venerables in the Star Spirit Realm had not achieved the status of a true god for more than 30,000 years was because they had not grown up in accordance with this orthodox path of godhood, which resulted in them always falling just short.
"Therefore, the greatest threat now is actually the bloodline of the false nine true gods, especially their offspring, that is, their sons or daughters. Just think about how powerful these people are. Their entry into the mortal world is probably aimed at becoming true gods."
After analyzing the current complex situation, Xia Fa finally understood why the Paradox Clown had specifically reminded him to avoid the fake offspring of the Nine Great Gods.
These individuals all possess the potential to become true gods, and they are the complete opposite of extraordinary beings. They entered the mortal realm solely to become true gods, and then return to help their ancestors defeat the [Paradox Joker] and the [Silver Universe].
However, Xia Fa wasn't too afraid. He might not be able to defeat them now, but once he became an Outer God, he wouldn't have to worry too much.
Even with his current divine status, if he were to sign two more overlord-level secret contracts and absorb and accommodate one of the strongest dozens of eternal certificates, Xia Fa felt that he would be able to fight them.
After clearing his mind, looking at the vast, boundless sea, Xia Fa felt much more at ease. With a thought, he summoned the vine gate and returned to the small world.
It has to be said that the [Eternal Secret] is really useful. He can now even summon a vine gate on the top of the city of ten thousand stars without fear of being seen by anyone, or being divinated or spied on.
This is the effect of the "Secret" authority. As one of the supreme authorities, although it is not among the top dozens of supreme authorities, it is surprisingly useful in terms of hiding one's whereabouts, countering divination and spying, and disguise and stealth.
The so-called "supreme authority" is something Xia Fa recently learned. It refers to the highest and most powerful type of authority, and generally corresponds to one of the strongest dozens of eternal credentials.
For example, [eternal plunder], [eternal critical strike], [eternal probability], [eternal knowledge], [eternal paradox], [eternal defense], etc.
Oh, and there's also the [Eternal Attack] that I want most inside the Ancient Mithril Gate.
"Wait, why was the [Eternal Abstraction] in the Primordial Eternal Sea also calling out to me and showing me affection? Am I that abstract?"
Xia Fa suddenly thought of this, and his expression became somewhat strange.
Thinking about it this way, the "eternal verbal persuasion," the "eternal laziness," and the "eternal pretentiousness"—these eternal traits—seem to attract and resonate with me. This just doesn't seem right...
After calming myself down and taking a deep breath, I cleared my mind of these distractions and transformed my spirit into a glowing sphere, once again plunging into the boundary between my mental body and my astral body.
What Xia Fa needs to do is very simple. Just like every time he signed a top-level secret contract before, he needs to find the Chinese characters in the top-level secret contract "Fairy Tale World" in order to advance his understanding.
With practiced ease, Xia Fa simply scanned the area with his spiritual intuition and found all the Chinese characters. Sure enough, when strung together, it was still the same poem.
"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."
Xia Fa once firmly believed that this poem described the gold cleaners.
But now, he has a completely different idea.
As for the reason, it's quite simple. If there were only the two Gold Cleansers he had encountered in the world, namely Gastis the Great Axe and the one with the Golden Halberd, then this poem might actually be describing them.
But now, there are tens of thousands of Gold Cleaners, and no matter how you look at it, this poem should have nothing to do with them.
On the other hand, there was an even more important reason, which was also the decisive factor in his change of mind.
That is, ever since I learned part of the truth about this world, namely that the Secret Code is essentially a power that has escaped from the origin of the universe.
Therefore, without a doubt, whichever secret contract it is, it belongs to the extraordinary system, and is completely the opposite of the Golden Cleaners.
In fact, the Golden Cleaners may not have even been born when the first secret contract was created.
And every secret contract contains this Chinese poem, so the first secret contract must also contain it, which makes it even less likely that it describes the Gold Cleaners.
Looking at the details, the phrase "Shi Lou whispered advice to its claws" does not fit the characteristics of the Gold Cleaner, as the Gold Cleaner is humanoid and could not possibly have claws.
"etc----"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if illuminating the darkest night. Xia Fa suddenly came up with an extremely bold conjecture.
"Could this Chinese poem be related to that momentous event that led to the birth of extraordinary beings 30,000 years ago?"
Xia Fa thought about it more and more and felt that it was very likely. The great event 30,000 years ago caused the ancient gods to fall one after another, and even the strongest Sun God King could not withstand it. At the same time, it further led to the extinction of magicians.
It should be noted that the Sun God King is even stronger than [Absolute Defense], which means that the Sun God King could probably defeat more than six hundred or even seven hundred Golden Cleansers.
But even such a powerful Sun God King perished in that great event—it's terrifying to think about.
Now, if we connect all the various clues we've gathered—
"The great event more than 30,000 years ago caused nearly half of the universe to be lost, leading to the birth of the Protoss Realm and the dissipation of the universe's origin, which became secret contracts, extraordinary talents, and proof of eternity—and so on."
"And could the Chinese poems in the secret document be a mark left by that major event, equivalent to—"
Some kind of record?
"But—why are they Chinese characters?"
Having reasoned this far, Xia Fa suddenly realized that the mystery of the Chinese poems recorded in this secret contract, coupled with the "words becoming law" effect that could be achieved by writing the secret text in Chinese characters, might truly involve the ultimate secret of this world.
This secret is far greater than the mystery of his own origins.
Unfortunately, this matter couldn't be discussed with anyone because it involved the issue of time travelers and the fact that only he could understand Chinese characters.
"Hmm—anyway, now that I've become a god, my ability to fight against all sorts of unknown risks has increased immeasurably compared to when I was still human. Whenever I have time, I'll investigate the issues related to Chinese poetry. Maybe I can find a way to deal with those ten thousand-plus Golden Cleaners."
Due to limited information, Xia Fa was unable to continue reasoning and had no choice but to make this decision.
As for whether to write Chinese characters in the way of writing secret texts again, and try that "words become law" effect—Xia Fa felt that it was better not to. Just thinking about it just now, his spiritual intuition surged with a crazy warning.
It's estimated that one can only try this when they become an Outer God or even a True God.
Seeing that the progress of understanding the secrets of the "Fairy Tale World" had reached one percent because of finding this Chinese poem, Xia Fa was satisfied. He simulated the feeling of falling and came out of his meditative state.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the golden sand and the blue sea, and my spiritual intuition stirred slightly, as knowledge and information flooded in.
That's the first secret contract ability in the "Fairy Tale World," which can be obtained by signing a secret contract.
Protect the Castle
[Construct an impregnable sand fortress, which can be used to protect oneself and others. When the fortress is damaged, it can be repaired with one's own extraordinary power. The higher the rank or position, the larger the fortress and the better the protection. When one reaches the position of Dominator or above, it has a certain effect of preventing occupation and preventing spying.]
Xia Fa merely glanced at the description of the "Guardian Castle" and then skipped over it.
There's no other reason than that I'm just too familiar with them. Come to think of it, I've already entered three different guardian castles belonging to different fairy tale world signatories.
They were Prince Justinian, which is the most normal explanation.
There's also Dick's place, which looks eerie, but it's actually quite safe inside.
And the guardian of the land where time stands still, it looks exactly like it's made of fine steel, making it the most reliable in comparison.
"This top-tier secret contract in the Fairy Tale World—I remember that for every 5% progress in understanding the contract, you can gain a new contract ability, right? The first one is definitely guarding the castle, and the last one is definitely a sacrificial rabbit puppet, while the ones in between are random."
"So, I'm about to gain twenty secret abilities? My god—"
Even though he already possessed a wide variety of secret abilities and mutation abilities, Xia Fa couldn't help but be amazed.
As a dominant species, the power and comprehensiveness of the Fairy Tale World remain unquestionable.
"By the way, when Dick Tudor was still the Emperor of Mysteries, what was the second overlord-level secret pact he signed?"
Perhaps it was because of the thought of "fairy tale world" that Xia Fa thought of Dick Tudor, and suddenly he remembered this question and became genuinely curious.
Before I could think any further, my spiritual intuition suddenly surged like boiling water, and I heard a call that sounded like a whisper, as if it could stir up the deepest desires in my heart.
"The Secrets of the Primordial Era —"
"The Secrets of the Primordial Era —"
"The Secrets of the Primordial Era —"
Even after hearing it several times, or rather, precisely because he had heard it several times, Xia Fa couldn't help but feel a deeper curiosity and a heartfelt desire for this tenth type of overlord-level secret contract, which was also the only "Primordial Secret Explanation" in the world.
This is a supreme-level secret agreement that even the nine great gods have not signed. There is only one such agreement in the entire universe, and it will be born in about twenty days.
Fortunately, I have the Ancient Capsules given to me by the Wise One, so I can do my best to fight for them when the time comes.
"By the way, if I can really snatch the [Primordial Secret Manual] in twenty days, wouldn't I be able to sign it immediately upon obtaining it? Regardless of which overlord-level secret contract I'm currently signing, or whether my understanding progress has been completed—"
Thinking about this, for some reason, a surge of excitement welled up inside me, my heart was pounding, and every pore on my body felt like it was opening up.
You should know that what I want most right now is to improve my strength, no matter what means I have to do.
The [Ancient Secrets] can be signed immediately upon acquisition, without having to wait for the progress of understanding the previous Overlord-level secret contract to be completed, which is incredibly convenient!
Not to mention, as the tenth overlord-level secret contract, and the only one of its kind in the entire universe, which even the nine righteous gods have never signed, the secret contract ability of this [Primordial Secret Explanation] is probably incredibly powerful.
"Could it be that the [Primordial Secrets] correspond to an extremely powerful force from the very origin of the universe, which is why it took over 30,000 years to condense?"
Xia Fa speculated, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Just then, my spiritual intuition stirred once more, but this time it wasn't the whispered words in my ear that reached me; it was a call that came through.
"Star Spirit Mage————"
"Star Spirit Mage————"
"Star Spirit Mage————"
It's actually the Celestial Spirit Mage?
Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He never expected that his seventh overlord-level secret contract would be with the Star Spirit Law Lord!
Of course, considering that besides the [Primordial Secrets], only the [Primordial Stomach], [Star Spirit Master], and [Forge of All Things] have not been signed yet, a one-third probability seems normal.
"Perfect timing. I have to go to the Celestial Spirit Realm all the time these days. For example, tomorrow I have to go with a group of fanatical tomb raiders to rob that Quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb. The Celestial Spirit Master's arrival is quite timely."
If "Star Spirit Master" were my second or third overlord-level secret contract, that would be a real problem. At that time, I would be highly sought after and wouldn't dare to go to the Star Spirit Realm, as I would be targeted by all sorts of unknown beings at any time.
Even the young miners repeatedly warned me never to go to the Celestial Spirit Realm, which shows how dangerous it is.
"The Protoss of the Protoss Realm—many are born with the rank of Overlord, and some even grow to the rank of God or Outer God. If only we could subdue an Outer God Protoss in the future—"
Since the Star Spirit Mage contract would be signed soon anyway, Xia Fa boldly imagined it.
After all, both the Protoss "White Hunt," which resembled a cow with black snakes growing from its back, and the Protoss "Vast Red Moon," which resembled the Nidhogg Pope Red Moon, were extremely powerful and troublesome, leaving a very deep impression on him.
"Fortunately, I kept a Star Spirit Mage card for myself, so I don't have to worry about where to find one now—"
With the fairy tale world contract now signed and his next overlord-level secret agreement confirmed, Xia Fa was preparing to take out the extraordinary pills and rare medicines he had obtained from the [Shepherd Star Elf].
Suddenly, a black pouch hidden at the waist vibrated inexplicably, transmitting a power far stronger than that of a peak Outer God.
"This is----"
With a thought, Xia Fa flipped his hand, and a rhomboid crystal appeared in his palm. In the center of the crystal, a black flame was burning fiercely.
It is—the Redemption Spark Crystal, representing the identity of a member of the Physical Redemption Society!
Immediately afterwards, a spiritual intuition was transmitted from it.
"Hello, hello? Lord Glutton, Lord Glutton, are you there?"
Even avid tomb raiders seem to start their conversations with "Are you there?"
Xia Fa chuckled inwardly and made a sarcastic remark, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and conjured up two dining tables and corresponding chairs not far in front of him.
Then, on the left table, he placed several bottles of iced strawberry liqueur that Gastis the Great Axe had given him. With a flash, he arrived at the right table. Imagining his craving for iced strawberry liqueur, and that it had to be Gastis the Great Axe's special iced strawberry liqueur, Xia Fa sat down at the right table.
hum! ! !
A sudden, chaotic surge of energy, like an electric current, swept through the air. The next moment, his blurry figure, seemingly enveloped in a mosaic, appeared before the iced strawberry liqueur on the left table.
"call-
Xia Fa let out a long breath, his inner tension easing.
Just now, he was really afraid that his "random free meal" would teleport him directly into the true world of Gastis the Great Axe.
After all, there are probably only two places in the world where this special iced strawberry liqueur can be found: one is right here on the dining table in front of me, and the other is in the True God Realm of Gastis the Great Axe.
Although Gastis the Great Axe's True God Realm is very safe, and teleporting there wouldn't be a problem, it would be bad if his connection with the fanatical tomb raiders were severed by the True God Realm.
Fortunately, this attempt was successful.
Without much thought, Xia Fa immediately picked up the Redemption Spark Crystal and transmitted a spiritual intuition to it, using the stern and indifferent tone characteristic of the "Glutton."
"What's wrong?"
The fanatical tomb raider's spiritual intuition immediately kicked in, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Lord Glutton, do you remember what I told you before about discovering an Outer God's tomb? I was mistaken back then; it's actually the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable!"
Xia Fa deliberately responded in a nonchalant tone, "Oh?"
After all, he hadn't forgotten that his disguised entity, "Glutton," was a quasi-Celestial Venerable who was transforming into a Celestial Venerable. Therefore, "Glutton" certainly couldn't show much interest in a quasi-Celestial Venerable's tomb.
In contrast, the tombs of the "Great Old Ones" mentioned by the fanatical tomb raiders were what truly piqued the interest of the "Gluttons."
The avid tomb raider wasn't surprised by this reaction, and continued in his excited and thrilled tone: "Yes, I'm sure it's the tomb of a quasi-celestial being! I promised to take your junior with me!"
But now there's a problem, a very crucial problem.
Xia Fa responded, "What's the problem?"
The fanatical tomb raider continued, "I myself have never signed the [Star Spirit Lord] overlord-level secret contract. Yesterday, in order to break the bond, I encountered several Outer God beings. They didn't seem to have signed the [Star Spirit Lord] contract either. However, based on my exploration tonight, an extremely powerful secret Star Spirit was born in the tomb of that quasi-Celestial Venerable!"
Xia Fa's chest suddenly skipped a beat, his heart pounded, but he remained outwardly calm: "Go on."
The fanatical tomb raider, seemingly noticing the interest of "Lord Glutton," whom he was so eager to ingratiate himself with, quickened his pace, saying, "You should know about Arcane Spirits; they are a special kind of spirit that belongs to both Arcane Spirits and Astral Spirits," far rarer, more powerful, and more bizarre than Astral Spirits.
"And this Mysterious Star Spirit has reached the level of an Outer God! Moreover, it seems to have no consciousness, but it has inherited many of the abilities of that Quasi-Celestial Venerable."
"So, if your junior has signed the [Star Spirit Master] contract, and comes with me to the tomb this time to subdue this secret Star Spirit, their strength will definitely increase significantly!"
"Since that Star Spirit has no consciousness, it is not difficult to subdue it. However, it is necessary to sign a contract with the existence of the [Star Spirit Master]."
"So, Lord Glutton, your junior—"
Xia Fa thought about it. Since he would have to go down into the tomb with the fanatical tomb raiders tomorrow anyway, and he had already fallen into the fanatical tomb raiders' "tomb raiding" rules, he might as well link his true identity with "Gluttony" and pretend to be a junior of Gluttony.
Of course, this can only be known to the fanatical tomb raiders. In a sense, the fanatical tomb raiders and the gluttons are absolutely on the same side, both being physical entities, so it's relatively safe to tell them.
"Actually, I was just looking for you. When you sought a solution yesterday, besides the three outer gods, did you also encounter a little fellow who seemed to be a god?"
Xia Fa became unusually talkative, but still maintained the dignified and indifferent tone of a glutton.
The avid tomb raider immediately seemed to understand something: "You—you mean, that wouldn't happen to be your junior, would it?"
Xia Fa confirmed, "That's right. Although He hasn't signed the [Star Spirit Master] contract yet, the next overlord-level secret contract He's about to sign is the [Star Spirit Master] contract. Can you think of any way to..." Before he could finish speaking, the fanatical tomb raider interrupted as if seeking credit, "I understand, I understand. I can use my tomb raiding rules alone to trap that secret Star Spirit for your junior for about a month, but a month is the limit. What do you think—?"
Xia Fa said decisively, "That's enough. I'll have to trouble you tomorrow. Please take good care of my only descendant in this world."
The fiery tomb raider's intuitive understanding immediately kicked in, and his tone became one of fawning, genuinely and sincerely: "Of course, of course. I'd risk my life to protect your junior. Well then, Lord Glutton, I won't bother you any longer. I'm going to continue scouting that great tomb!"
The next moment, the Redemption Spark Crystal trembled, and the immense power, far stronger than that of a peak Outer God, was severed.
Xia Fa's eyes lit up as he pondered.
In just over a month, Xia Fa was confident that he could not only sign the next overlord-level secret contract, but also the next [Star Spirit Master].
In particular, now that he has signed the [Fairy Tale World] agreement, he is able to fight against ordinary Outer Gods, which will greatly accelerate the progress of the [Fairy Tale World] project.
The mysterious star spirit born in the tomb of the quasi-celestial being was described as extremely powerful even by the fanatical tomb raider. Xia Fa was increasingly tempted and wished he could sign the "Star Spirit Master" contract right now and subdue this mysterious star spirit!
If I could subdue a Star Spirit of Outer God rank, it would be equivalent to doubling my strength!
After all, right now, I'm just a god, and only after signing the [Fairy Tale World] agreement can I barely fight against outer gods.
And this is already quite good. Under normal circumstances, even those at the peak of the God realm in the Celestial Spirit Realm would be powerless against Outer Gods.
I'm only at the level of a newly ascended god, yet I'm already capable of fighting ordinary outer gods. Nobody would believe it if I told them.
Well, I have to say, this [Star Spirit Master] is actually quite powerful as a hegemon-level secret contract, and it can be said to be no less powerful than any other hegemon-level secret contract!
Xia Fa's heart burned with excitement as he thought about it, so he decided to immediately take the extraordinary pills and medicines to improve his physique and the purity of his divine power, and then go to sleep.
Make sure you're well-rested, we'll set off at 3 PM tomorrow with the "Fanatic Tomb Raiders" to the tomb of the Quasi-Celestial Venerable—to capture that Mystic Star Spirit!
at the same time.
The Celestial Spirit Realm.
This is the Protoss Realm, corresponding to the "Light Sector" in the real world. However, its name is completely different from the real-world Light Sector; it's called the "Protoss Light Sector."
In the Protoss Wright Starfield, outside the phantom planet corresponding to Caligi, there is a camp.
At first glance, the camp appears quite rudimentary, with an outer ring of wooden stakes serving as a wall, and inside there are only a few hundred tents, which are made of coarse linen.
However, both the walls and the tents were incredibly tall, reaching heights of tens of thousands of meters.
A silver-ranked cleaner wielding a large axe was leading three hundred bronze-ranked cleaners in training battle formations, shouting commands from time to time. They appeared to be well-coordinated and quite valiant.
However, in this camp of the Cleaners, against the wall, there were several young people idly gathered in a circle, chatting casually.
Logically speaking, it should be impossible for other beings to appear in the Cleaners' camp, since the Star Spirit Realm is full of extraordinary beings, and extraordinary beings have always been mortal enemies of the Cleaners.
However, these young men stood casually in the Cleaners' camp, chatting amongst themselves and bursting into laughter from time to time, drawing sidelong glances from the Silver and Bronze Cleaners.
Even at this point, the Silver Cleaner wielding the giant axe didn't dare to interfere, and didn't even dare to glance at those young people.
As for the bronze cleaners, they were quite afraid of these young men, and dared not speak out against them.
"Hey, weren't we told to lie in ambush here early? Why haven't those superdimensional proto-intrinsic beings and the succubus priests arrived yet?"
One of the young men yawned, looking rather bored. He was wearing a suit of heavy golden armor with a red cloak, and his face was full of vigor, like a promising young general.
"Be patient. Have you forgotten your father's teachings, Ashes of Glory? Be patient with everything."
Opposite this young man was another young man who was slightly taller and thinner.
He was dressed in a well-tailored white suit and shiny white leather shoes, but he also wore black gloves. He looked tall and well-mannered, and was responding with a smile.
However, immediately, a purple-haired girl wearing a leather jacket and pants, revealing her fair waist, snorted rather complainingly, and a pair of metal hoop earrings swayed incessantly in her purple hair.
"I really can't wait any longer, whether I'm patient or not. How about we take the initiative?"
Upon hearing this, the youth clad in golden armor shook his head: "Taking the initiative? The Star Spirit Realm is so vast, besides the various star regions corresponding to the real world, there are countless unknown areas, not to mention the True Realm of Gods, the large and small Ghost Realms, various tombs, and so on—"
He was about to list them one by one when the purple-haired girl in the leather jacket raised her hand to stop him: "Stop, stop, stop, I know, then let's wait here. Speaking of which, Dad is really something. Either he won't let us enter the world, or the first thing he gives us when we do is this kind of task."
The elegant young man in the white suit and black gloves chuckled, "That's normal. After all, your father is the [Catastrophe Tyrant]. Our battle will provide him with a lot of power and authority."
Just as the purple-haired girl in the leather jacket was about to speak, the boy in the golden armor suddenly turned his head and looked into the far distance, his gaze seemingly piercing through the fence made of wooden stakes.
Almost immediately, the elegant young man in the white suit and black gloves and the girl in the purple-haired leather jacket also sensed something, and their eyes simultaneously sharpened.
"They're here."
Just a moment ago, they seemed like young, fashionable college students who had stumbled into the Cleaners' camp after escaping from a university in the Kingdom of Augu. But now, the chill and majesty emanating from their eyes were enough to terrify anyone.
Even the silver-level cleaners and the three hundred bronze-level cleaners who were training in the distance stopped at the same time. Some of the three hundred bronze-level cleaners even trembled involuntarily.
They all sensed from these three young people a terrifying aura—powerful enough to destroy everything!
The silver-ranked cleaner immediately turned its horse around, preparing to lead three hundred bronze-ranked cleaners out to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, not far in front of it, the young man in golden armor flashed and blocked the entrance to the camp.
"You all step back, let me do it."
The young man in golden armor spoke to the Silver Cleaner in a commanding tone, as if giving orders.
The Silver Cleaner showed no displeasure whatsoever, retreating directly while secretly glancing at the boy's back.
To be precise, it was his golden armor that they looked at.
The reason is simple: this golden armor is made of the same material as the golden full armor worn by the Golden Cleaners, and even the patterns are similar!
"I heard that this was specially crafted by Lord Alm the Greatbow and given to his beloved son, [Embers of Glory]?"
At that moment, the purple-haired girl in the leather jacket was also looking at the back of the golden-armored boy and muttering to herself.
The elegant young man in the white suit and black gloves smiled and said, "That's right, but what's more intriguing than this golden armor is its origin."
The purple-haired girl in the leather jacket with a hot figure asked curiously, "How so? I heard you've known each other since childhood?"
The elegant young man in the white suit and black gloves nodded: "Yes, so I understand. Ten thousand years ago, when the Ashes of Glory, with the help of the Golden Cleansers, achieved godhood using 'that method,' He actually began the plan to nurture this favored son."
The purple-haired girl in the leather jacket immediately said, "What plan? Quick, tell me!"
The elegant young man in the white suit and black gloves revealed a meaningful smile and slowly recounted: "Back then, when [Embers of Glory] was still an Outer God, he once robbed the tomb of an Old One in the Protoss Realm."
The purple-haired girl in the leather jacket stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the first sentence: "The tomb of the Old Ones?"
The elegant young man in the white suit and black gloves nodded slightly, showing no annoyance at being interrupted, and continued in a calm tone: "Well, however, the tomb of that Great Old One had already been damaged. I don't know if it was done by fanatical tomb raiders or by the [Apostles of Knowledge]. In any case, only half of the skeleton of a Great Old One remained in the tomb."
After a pause, as if recalling something, He said in a more certain tone, "[The Ashes of Glory] secretly kept this half of the skeleton, originally intending to create a puppet body for himself. However, by chance, He joined the Cleaners' camp, became a true god, and replaced the Ninth True God."
"Having become a true god, He naturally no longer needed a puppet body, so He turned to another attempt," and the one we see now is the result of His attempt.
"He conceived His son, His only son, from His own blood and essence, along with the remains of half an Old One and one of the strongest of the dozens of eternal tokens."
"However, this process was exceptionally difficult, mainly because after [Ember of Glory] defected to the Cleansers' camp and became a true god through that method, strictly speaking, his essence and blood were mutually repelled by extraordinary beings."
