"What do you mean you're reluctant to leave this place? If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by that guy already, hahaha."
Unexpectedly, Dick said something that Xiafa never expected.
Xia Fa was quite startled. When Dick Tudor suddenly contacted him earlier, he hadn't connected the two together.
After all, Dictator was just a Mystic Emperor. Although he was one of the top beings in the real world, he was no match for an Outer God.
But now—
"Dickted, you're not going to tell me you're actually an Outer God, are you? No, then how come you can move freely in the real world?"
Xia Fa asked this question in return, partly out of jokingness and partly out of curiosity.
Dick Tudor laughed and said, "Go! Stop teasing me. By the way, how about we get together at my place?"
Xia Fa immediately said, "The usual place?"
Dick smiled, a hint of friendliness in his expression: "Yeah, the usual place."
Having said that, the connection established by Dickinson vanished from his spiritual intuition.
But this time, unlike when the Paradox Joker contacted him before, Xia Fa could clearly feel the traces left by this connection.
That mark, centered on itself, stretched out and stretched out towards—the direction of the planet Caligia!
More than twenty minutes later.
Caligius Star.
Rum City.
-
Risle Street.
A tall, strong, and agile figure, like a cheetah, stopped outside the door of No. 13 Risle Street.
It was Xia Fa.
Nearly half an hour ago, after Dick Tudor suggested meeting, Xia Fa, thinking that the family banquet had already ended and there was nothing else to do, chose to say goodbye to his great-grandfather and Sol Loki and the others.
Then, it was teleported back through an ultra-large, ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
The great-grandfather and other family members all expressed their absolute support, because, in a sense, staying on Caligi seemed to be safer.
After all, Caligi is a land-based divine kingdom with the [Silver Universe] and the [Nature Monarch], so one can imagine...
Even the Crimson Demon Tree dared not act recklessly.
At the same time, Xia Fa, his great-grandfather, and other important family members exchanged "Protoss Envelopes".
This is a special artifact used for interstellar communication. Simply write the name of the person you want to communicate with on it, and then write your message below the name, and the other party will receive it.
However, it takes quite a long time, with each exchange lasting several minutes.
Xia Fa prepared to pray to Lord Silver Universe one more time after things were settled with Dick Tudor. As his most devout believer, Xia Fa believed that Lord Silver Universe would grant him the right to freely enter and leave Caligia.
In this way, if anything happens to the family, I can immediately teleport back.
Thinking this through, Xia Fa nodded slightly, feeling that everything was done, and knocked on the old wooden door twice.
Knock knock!
"Come in, my dear friend."
Dick's languid yet authoritative voice emanated from within, causing Xia Fa to smile knowingly, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
It's been almost a month, and since they first met Dick Tudor, their relationship has gotten better and better. Dick Tudor and he are even like old friends now.
With a creak, Xia Fa pushed open the wooden door. What he saw was still the same old-fashioned, shabby wooden house, with peeling paint on the tables and chairs, flakes of leather on the sofa, and water still leaking from the ceiling. Drip, drip, drip.
Unlike the previous times, now that I have more experience, I know that number 13 Sir Street is actually the location of Dick Tudor's subspace.
Stepping inside, one enters his subspace, which is the magnificent white palace in the style of ancient Greek royalty.
Without hesitation, Xia Fa strode in.
The scene of the dilapidated wooden house receded like the tide, and what first came into view was a spotless white floor covered with an expensive Persian-style patterned carpet. Rows of ancient Greek-style round columns supported the vast dome, exuding an air of royalty.
As for Dictator, he sat on that huge throne, his emperor-like gaze fixed down on him.
"You've arrived."
"I am coming."
"You've come at the perfect time."
"How so?"
"I just cooked a big meal, haha, come on, let's eat!"
Upon hearing Dick's words, Xia Fa noticed that there were still two long lacquered wooden tables on either side of his throne, with the left table filled with all kinds of delicacies and the right table filled with all kinds of fine wines.
Unlike before, this time the food is almost entirely made from supernatural creatures from the cosmos, and the wines are all rare and extraordinary.
"The eggs of the Harvest Serpent King—you even managed to get your hands on those?"
"And there's also this extraordinary wine brewed from the fruit of the gods' blood; this is a bit too extravagant—"
"Hiss, this is good stuff, the heart meat of a living silver-type star dragon, I love to eat it."
While marveling at the discovery, Xia Fa didn't hold back at all. He grabbed a bottle of wine made from divine blood fruit with his left hand and a large piece of fragrant roasted pork belly with slightly charred skin with his right hand, and took a bite.
The Living Silver Star Dragon is of a similar level to the Core Gold Star Dragon sealed within Pope Nidhogg; both are among the most powerful and rarest Star Dragons.
The only difference is that the Living Silver Star Dragon—eating it seems to have some slight benefits for those who sign the Silver Throne. Although it can't compare to the pure white light-seeking crystal silver among the sacred metals, it's still quite good.
Dick Tudor then picked up a bear paw, which was cooked by braising. The outer skin was soft and gelatinous, and the bone could be easily sucked off.
While munching on his food, He poured wine for himself and Xia Fa, laughing, "Putting everything else aside, this live silver-type star dragon was hunted down from the Star Spirit Realm at great risk. It was specially prepared for you. Eat up, haha. Oh, and let's have a drink first."
Xia Fa also raised his glass, and the bar-style beer glasses clinked together on the table with a soft "ding".
The two looked at each other and smiled, then drank it all in one gulp.
Having just finished his drink, Xia Fa put down his cup and laughed, "Taking a risk? What kind of risk?"
Dick waved his hand dismissively: "Oh well, let's not talk about it."
Xia Fa then laughed and said, "Aren't you risking being discovered by the cleaners?"
Dick suddenly couldn't bring himself to bite into the bear paw in his hand.
"You—you knew all along?"
Xia Fa also stopped smiling and sighed deeply: "Yes, alas—I had a very respected elder who sacrificed himself because of the Cleaners."
Dick Tudor's eyes narrowed: "Is that so—"
Xia Fa, however, took another bite of the heart-protecting flesh of the living silver-type star dragon before continuing, "Let's not talk about that. In short, I know just as much as you do, but you—I feel like you're a little different?"
Dick Tudor finally couldn't help but reveal a smug smile: "Only a little bit?"
boom!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, a divine aura rose from his body, violent and fierce, giving Xia Fa the feeling no less than facing a full-fledged Bronze Cleanser!
In an instant, the divine aura emanating from Dicket was immediately concealed.
Although he had suspected it, seeing it with his own eyes still greatly surprised Xia Fa: "You've become a god?"
But then he immediately realized something: "Wait a minute, how can you stay in the real world?"
Dick Tudor gave a meaningful smile: "Who said this is the real world?"
It would have been better if He hadn't said anything. His words immediately made Xia Fa look around warily, fearing that the Cleanser would reveal itself.
For some reason, the Cleaners don't appear in the real world freely right now. Of course, it's also possible that they're all focused on hunting down beings of outer godhood in the Protoss Realm.
Now, if I were to stay in the Protoss Realm, it would definitely be much more dangerous than staying in the real world!
"Don't worry, this is my Divine Realm, and I have already taken absolute precautions against divination and spying. Unless a fake one of the Nine Great Gods or a Golden Cleanser happens to pass by outside my Divine Realm, no one will be able to find us."
Dick Tudor smiled and spoke, putting Xia Fa at ease with just a few words.
Xia Fa let out a long sigh of relief: "Why didn't you say so earlier—"
At the same time, he realized that his knowledge of mysticism was still superficial. He had previously thought that number 13 Sir Street was a subspace, but he never expected it to be something like "the Realm of Gods".
Of course, it is also possible that Dictator became the one who had just been converted from God.
He had never heard of this before, nor had he ever seen it in any occult texts.
But now is not the time to consult Dick Tudor on this; the most important thing right now is—
Xia Fa stopped drinking and put down his breastplate, looking at Dick Tudor with a serious expression: "You—you actually know the truth about the Nine Great Gods? And you even know about the Golden Cleanser?"
Dick raised an eyebrow, quite surprised: "You know that too? I was just saying I'd give you a little lesson based on what I just said."
Xia Fa then picked up his glass, took another sip of the cool, smooth liquor, and said, "I only found out recently. What about you?"
"Me?" Dick Tudor suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I probably knew that a few hundred years ago—"
At this moment, He seemed to have suddenly transformed from a lazy young man who was indifferent to everything in the world into a lone traveler burdened with a huge secret. Although his expression was full of self-mockery, he looked so desolate.
Xiafa suddenly became very interested in Dictator's past, in why He was the way He was, and even more so in why He always had food and wine on either side of the throne, and why He was always drinking.
But he held back and didn't ask.
There are some things that Dick Tudor would never ask out of respect for his friend, unless Dick Tudor himself was willing to say them.
Dick Tudor was lost in thought for a while, his gaze unfocused, before he came back to his senses and looked at Xia Fa again.
"Since you already knew about this, I'm not worried about you losing control after hearing it. But how did you end up getting involved with the [Crimson Demon Tree]?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Fa could only smile and shake his head: "I killed the Crimson Proxy."
Dick Tudor, who was about to pick up the braised bear paw, almost froze upon hearing this: "You—you killed the Crimson Agent? No wonder, I was wondering why I couldn't even see through your specific rank—"
Xia Fa downed his glass of wine in one gulp, then poured himself another, saying as he poured, "Actually, it's nothing. Yesterday, I became the head of the Gilgamesh family, and we were holding a grand family banquet. It seems the Crimson Proxy accomplished something important for [Temporary Reality], and thus pleaded with [Temporary Reality]..."
They altered His bloodline and past, making Him a member of our Gilgamesh family, to compete with me for the position of family head.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Dick Tudor raised his hand to stop Xia Fa from continuing, his eyes wide with disbelief: "What do you mean you've become the head of the Gilgamesh family? You're still a member of the Gilgamesh family? And, judging from your tone, it seems you already know that [Brief Reality] betrayed our superhuman camp?"
Xia Fa smiled slightly: "That's one way to understand it."
Dick Tudor suddenly sighed softly: "I've realized I'm starting to not understand you anymore. I really miss the days when you were just a simple, fungus-level superhuman with no secrets at all —"
Xia Fa chuckled and said, "It's only been less than a month. By the way, I'm still the Heavenly Mandate Holy Spirit."
Dick Tudor looked as if he almost choked, his eyes widening even further: "My God, the Holy Spirit of Destiny? You've already signed the third Overlord-level secret contract?"
But then, as if he had suddenly realized something, he muttered to himself, "That's right, it's not like that. You can't kill the Crimson Agent either—"
Xia Fa stopped drinking and his tone became serious again. "So, how exactly did you become a god? And what grudge do you have with the Crimson Agent? What you had me retrieve from Pompeii—wasn't that some kind of 'certificate of eternity'?"
Xia Fa clearly remembered that when he was still a fungal-level superhuman, he met Dick Tudor, who gave him a silver throne and asked him to help kill Pompeii to retrieve something—he never expected that it would involve the [Proof of Eternity] at that time.
After killing Pompeii and obtaining it, the "Proof of Eternity" remained in Pompeii's sack, which he could not see. Moreover, just like when he came into contact with the "Eternal Plunder," he felt a strong sense of mutual loathing and rejection.
Therefore, since it was a "Proof of Eternity" that he couldn't absorb or contain on his own, Xia Fa didn't care much. Besides, Dick had helped him so much and saved him this time, so his repayment was nothing.
Dick Tudor suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "This is the first thing I wanted to say to you."
Xia Fa picked up a plate of shrimp. Although these shrimp were not celestial-level supernatural creatures, they seemed to be parasitic on celestial-level supernatural creatures. Although they tasted like shrimp, they were hundreds or thousands of times sweeter and more delicious than ordinary shrimp.
"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening carefully."
Dick Tudor sighed, his gaze drifting through the window to the horizon, his eyes suddenly becoming distant.
That was almost three hundred years ago.
"At that time, a member of the Bald family named Raydonk Bald discovered a treasure hidden by pirates on an unnamed island in the Baron Ocean, which involved the eternal treasure—"
Shafa interrupted, "Redonk Baldr? I think I've heard of him. But what is this Eternal Treasure?"
Dick Tudor asked in surprise, "You've heard of it? That makes things even easier. As for this eternal treasure—"
He paused slightly, then continued, "Then I'll just start from over 30,000 years ago, when..."
Why don't you start your story from the beginning, from Pangu creating the world?
Xia Fa internally scoffed at the situation, but didn't say anything, instead continuing to listen attentively.
Dick Tudor's voice became increasingly ethereal and distant, as if recounting a piece of past history and mythology.
"At that time, there was an Outer God, whose name I do not know, but by chance, He obtained one of the most powerful of the dozens of [Proofs of Eternity], the [Eternal Plunder]."
"That Outer God was so talented that he could be described as having unparalleled talent throughout the ages. He originally had the potential to become a true god. Of course, don't misunderstand, many Outer Gods and unknown beings had the opportunity to become true gods at that time, but only those nine fought their way out."
"As for that Outer God at that time, having already signed one hundred secret contracts, including six of them of the Overlord level—of course, this is just my guess—His only goal was naturally to absorb and contain [Eternal Plunder]."
"【Eternal Plunder】, as one of the strongest dozens of 【Proofs of Eternity】, once it is completely absorbed and incorporated and becomes a true god, it will probably be the second only to 【Error Rules】 and 【Temporary Reality】 among the true gods."
"I know you want to ask why it's not second only to [Paradox Joker] and [Absolute Defense], but that's impossible. Let me put it this way: the power of [Paradox Joker] and [Absolute Defense] is on a completely different level from that of other beings of the true god rank."
"Therefore, among the remaining seven true gods, apart from the most mysterious one whose name I don't even know, the strongest are actually [Error Rule] and [Temporary Reality], while the weakest are [Nature Monarch] and [Supreme Law]."
"In conclusion, that Outer God's attempt to break through failed. Although His talent was unparalleled throughout the ages, He was still far from being able to accommodate [Eternal Plunder]."
"His failure led to his downfall, and his downfall severely impacted the eternal plunder."
"Originally, the 'Eternal Plunder' should have returned to the origin of the universe and become part of the concept anew. However, the 'Eternal Plunder' was not triggered by the Outer God at the cost of his life, but rather it resulted from the failure of absorption and containment."
"This caused an unprecedented and strange change in [Eternal Plunder]. In short, a large part of its power spilled out and then combined with a piece of the Outer God's finger bone, transforming into an eternal treasure."
"As for the [Eternal Plunder] itself, it even lost the ability to change its form at will, turning into a wisp of air. Yes, just a wisp of air. And so, more than 30,000 years have passed."
"Until Raydonk Bald accidentally stumbled upon the relevant clues."
Upon hearing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but interrupt, "Then what does this have to do with the Crimson Agents?"
He had already vaguely guessed it, but he just wanted to tease Dick more and verify his guess.
Dick Tudor smiled knowingly: "You'll find out soon enough."
He took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued, "Back then, Raydonk Bald discovered a treasure on an unnamed island in the Baron Ocean."
"To be precise, it was a group of pirates hiding there. Fortunately, Laytonk was skilled and daring. He took the treasure and left without being discovered."
"The treasure contained approximately one million gold pounds, as well as many secret contracts, extraordinary fruits, and extraordinary metals, etc.—but the most crucial item was a badge."
"A badge representing the identity of a member of the Wandering Treehouse."
"Redonk activated the badge without his knowledge."
"Coincidentally, the Crimson Agent, who had already joined the Wandering Treehouse, was nearby. He thought that other members of the organization were contacting him, so he rushed over."
"The Crimson Agent at that time was already a transcendent monarch."
