As Xia Fa finally stood before the altar, a strange, demonic wind swirled up from beneath his feet, stirring up dust and fallen leaves.

The temple, located on the fifth level of the inverted pyramid, was originally completely enclosed, but suddenly a strange wind arose, which made both Xia Fa and Gilgamesh feel a chill.

However, this did not stop Xia Fa's actions in the slightest. Just kidding, he could even hit a Celestial Venerable. Unless it was a Celestial Venerable or a True God, what could possibly hurt him?

Oh wait, it seems this really is a danger at the level of a true god—

Thinking this, Xia Fa took a deep breath and instantly entered the second stage of the Chaos Throne. His whole body was surrounded by lightning, his figure was blurry, and his hands were instantly covered with a heavy, sticky dark golden color before he dared to reach for the sandalwood box.

His hand quickly found the lid, and without hesitation, Xia Fa grabbed it with one hand and lifted it up.

He paused for a moment, then placed both hands on the lid, grasped the ring on top, and lifted it again.

After a slight pause, Xia Fa mustered all his strength this time, his hands becoming several sizes larger, and pulled upwards with all his might once again.

With almost all its might, the lid finally showed signs of loosening. The originally tight edge was lifted slightly, but it immediately fell back down.

Xia Fa wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathing slightly heavily.

When he tried to lift the lid for the third time, he had used almost all his strength, even more than when he fought the [Godslayer], but to his surprise, he still couldn't open the sandalwood box.

Fortunately, he had foreseen this, since it contained a secret at the level of a true god, which was likely not something that only he, with his current divine status, could unlock.

However, Xia Fa did not give up. He took out two bottles of iced strawberry wine and gulped them down, then tried a few more times.

Each time, I could lift the lid up a little bit, but only a little bit. It was as if the lid and the box were made of strong magnets. As soon as I lifted it up a little, it would be pulled back by a strong force.

Seeing that there seemed to be no other way, Xia Fa thought for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He then wrapped his arms around the sandalwood box.

This time, with a sudden burst of strength in his arms and a shout of "Hey!", he finally managed to lift the sandalwood box.

But because of this, Gilgamesh, who had been watching from the side, suddenly widened his eyes and almost dislocated his jaw in fright.

The reason is simple: Xia Fa in his current transformed state possesses the strength of a quasi-Celestial Venerable!

In this situation, he still had to exert so much effort to lift the sandalwood box. How heavy must that box be? The weight of thousands of stars combined? Or tens of thousands of stars?

What exactly is inside?

"Ancestor, I can't open this sandalwood box right now. I guess I'll have to wait until I become an Outer God."

Shafa, holding the sandalwood box, turned to Gilgamesh and told him the truth.

Gilgamesh smiled and said, "I guessed that would be the case. It's alright, as long as I can take it with me. Do you have a good black bag? Preferably one woven with sacred metal threads."

Xia Fa understood his ancestor's meaning. With the weight of this sandalwood box comparable to thousands of stars, any bag except for the highest quality one would absolutely not be able to withstand it. The subspace inside would be torn apart by the enormous gravity, causing it to fall out.

It is precisely because of the temple's unique nature—after all, it was personally crafted by a Celestial Venerable, and its own special characteristics—that an ordinary person would be torn apart and absorbed the moment they approached the sandalwood box, just like approaching a black hole.

So he nodded and smiled slightly: "Yes, I just got one from [Godslayer], but we need to take out what's inside first."

Although the Black Bag is a secret treasure, it does not contain any soul imprint or anything like that, so whoever gets it can use it.

In fact, the same is true for other treasures. Even the ancient treasures do not contain the soul imprint of the Great Old Ones, let alone the others.

The only thing that could possibly bear a soul imprint is probably the sacred treasures of the nine great gods.

Therefore, Xia Fa was completely at ease with the Black Bag he obtained from the [Gods' Nemesis].

At this moment, he mobilized a wisp of divine power within his body, and like tentacles, he simultaneously produced two black pouches. One shimmered with starlight, while the other was quite magnificent. Besides the one called "Gods' Nemesis," there was also a black pouch from the tomb of the Three-Headed Giant Celestial Venerable.

After easily transferring the contents of the [Gods Slayer] pouch into the pouch of the Three-Headed Giant Celestial, Xia Fa then laboriously held the sandalwood box in both hands and bumped it against another pouch.

With a "whoosh," the sandalwood box vanished and disappeared into the black bag.

Xia Fa was still not entirely at ease, so he checked it over again to make sure the sandalwood box was quietly inside the black bag before putting the black bag into the time rift of "Time Concealment".

Once he reached the level of a god, his time concealment became a regular and continuous function, meaning he was essentially free from time constraints.

Having obtained the most important and crucial item, Xia Fa and Gilgamesh exchanged a glance, both preparing to leave this place of trouble.

However, regarding the other spoils found in this temple—

Xia Fa thought for a moment and first took the most important Soul Origin Crystal. As for the other secret treasures, contracts, and sealing artifacts, they were almost useless to him now.

The main problem is that there are no sacred metals, no divine blood fruits, and no other supreme sacred objects here. They are basically treasures that only extraordinary lords can obtain. To him, they are not as valuable as the treasures in the Gilgamesh family's treasury.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa carefully selected some secret treasures and sealed items, intending to give them to his cousins ​​and the Tefaro family when he returned. He also took all thirty-odd overlord-level secret contracts. Then he looked at his ancestor and smiled, "Ancestor, I plan to take the rest of these back to the Prometheus family. Do you need any of them?"

Take it if you have it.

Gilgamesh chuckled and said, "Good child, I appreciate your kind intentions, but like you, I have no use for these things."

Seeing this, Xia Fa finally felt relieved. With a wave of his hand, he put all the treasures in the four corners of the temple into his black bag.

Suddenly, the temple, which had seemed to be filled with rare treasures, became empty, as if it had been robbed.

Xia Fa and Gilgamesh, in perfect unison, flew out of the temple entrance with a single thought.

The two flew up from the various openings they had come from, and soon flew out of the first level of the inverted pyramid quite smoothly.

Unexpectedly, there were many Outer Gods, Divine Beings, and even Extraordinary Sovereigns waiting on the first level of this inverted pyramid. Fortunately, Gilgamesh had used the Secret of Eternity in advance to help the two conceal their forms, allowing them to leave silently.

The two did not choose to fly towards the Prometheus family's Protoss warship, fearing that it would attract too much attention. It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that they were afraid that the Prometheus family would be targeted by those with ill intentions.

Xia Fa sent a message to the current head of the Prometheus family, arranging to meet in a safe place the next day. Then, he and his ancestor quietly left the Star Spirit Wright Starfield.

"Ancestor, shall we return to the clan?"

While leisurely flying through the Protoss Realm, enjoying the scenery along the way, Xia Fa offered his suggestion.

Gilgamesh asked with some surprise, "Back to the clan? How do we get back?"

Xia Fa replied without hesitation, "Let's go back to the real world first, and then just fly there. Oh, wait—"

He paused, then gave a guilty smile. "Ancestor, I forgot you can't go to the real world."

After all, the ancestors were already outward gods, and if they dared to go to the real world, they would cause very serious uncontrolled pollution.

Gilgamesh waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all, and instead teased, "You talk as if you can move around freely in the real world. Don't forget, you're already a god."

After a slight pause, He offered a suggestion: "How about we go and take a look at my Outer God Realm? Perfect timing, after a short rest, we can head to the City of Gold Pounds. They're probably already waiting for your arrival. You're about to become truly famous, my descendants."

Xia Fa had long wanted to visit the City of Gold Pounds, especially now that the Cleaners and the Extraordinary were at war, the City of Gold Pounds was truly the rear base for the Extraordinary beings.

Needless to say, the City of Gold Pounds is the most prosperous and largest city in the Protoss Realm, where you can find all kinds of beings and buy anything.

It is said that the city where gold pounds converge is comparable in size to a star field, which shows how vast it is.

So Xia Fa readily agreed.

"Alright, perfect timing. I'll trouble you, ancestor, to show me around the City of Gold Pounds. I'm completely unfamiliar with this place, haha."

Gilgamesh smiled and nodded: "Yes, leave it to me. I have a few old friends I can introduce you to later. By the way, you seem to be from the Silver Church, right? Have you joined the Solar Prominence Nebula Legion?"

"The Solar Prominence Nebula Legion?"

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He had heard of the name before, but he had joined the "Solar Prominence Nebula Squad," an extraordinary squad of the Silver Church in Rum City.

Seeing that his descendants didn't seem to understand, Gilgamesh patiently explained: "In the real world, the superhuman teams of the nine major churches all have their own unique names. Do you know how they came about?"

That's right, it's the extraordinary legion from the nine major churches.

"In fact, the greatest power in the Protoss Realm is also the Nine Great Churches. However, unlike in the real world, the Outer Gods under the command of each of the Nine Great Churches will join the Extraordinary Legion of the Nine Great Churches."

"For example, the Solar Prominence Nebula Legion of the Silver Church, the Thorn Blade Legion of the Nature Church, the Secret Realm Wandering Circus Legion of the Paradox Church, the One-Act Theater Legion of the Destiny Church, the Black Hole Watcher Legion of the Absolute Church, and so on."

Solar Prominence Nebula Legion —

Thornblade Legion —

The Secret Realm Roaming Circus Legion —

One-Act Theater Legion —

Black Hole Watch Legion —

Xia Fa silently memorized these names and discovered that they actually corresponded one by one to the extraordinary teams of the nine major churches in the real world.

Gilgamesh continued, "Each of the nine major churches' transcendent legions is commanded by a Celestial Venerable, with the deputy commanders being Quasi-Celestial Venerables. Only then do the Outer Gods take on the role of deacons. Speaking of which, if you were to join, you'd probably be the first person in history to become a deputy commander from a divine position. Tsk tsk—"

Xia Fa asked curiously, "How do we contact them?"

Gilgamesh replied without hesitation, "The City of Gold Pounds has the respective garrisons of the nine extraordinary legions. I'll take you there then, haha."

As the two were talking, Gilgamesh suddenly stopped.

Xia Fa immediately understood, guessing that this was the arrival of the ancestor's Outer God Realm.

Although the Outer God Realm is fixed at a certain coordinate in the Celestial Spirit Realm, due to the special nature of the Celestial Spirit Realm itself, it can be directly entered through various different locations, somewhat like a spatial tunnel.

At that moment, Gilgamesh clasped his hands together, countless ancient runes flashing in his dark eyes. Then, he opened his palms, and an ancient rune with a "door" symbol flew out, instantly opening a hazy hole of light not far in front of him.

Xia Fa looked into the cave of light and was taken aback.

This is because the light hole contains a planet that is almost exactly the same as Gilgamesh!

"Come on, let's go in. My Outer God Realm was created one-to-one based on our family's life planet, so you don't have to worry about getting lost, hahaha."

Gilgamesh made a joke and stepped inside first.

Xia Fa immediately followed and stepped out of the light cave. He immediately felt the light cave behind him close, and then an incomparably vast power of "secret" authority enveloped the surroundings once again.

He suddenly felt a sense of peace for no reason, as if staying in this Outer God Realm meant he didn't have to fear the spying of any powerful being or the pursuit of anyone.

This is probably the effect of the ancestor's [Secret of Eternity] authority. I have to say, it's still as useful as ever.

It just so happens that because his [Eternal Secret] had not been contained and absorbed, the frequent use of it in the last few dozen times had exhausted the power of authority within it, and he would have to wait a while for it to replenish itself.

This is the biggest difference between absorbing and not absorbing. Not only can only 20% to 30% of the power of authority be used, but it cannot be used continuously and must be replenished after it is exhausted.

If you switch to [Eternal Critical Strike], you won't have to worry about the consumption of Authority Power; you only need to consider the consumption of Divine Power within your own body.

Having arrived at a safe place, Gilgamesh directly brought up a topic he hadn't dared to mention in the Protoss Realm: "By the way, my descendant, about that sandalwood box with your name on it, if you still can't open it when you reach the Outer God level, you can try when you reach the Quasi-Celestial Venerable level. I have a feeling that it's probably around those two levels, since the next level up is Celestial Venerable and True God, and it's impossible to really have to wait until then to open it."

Xia Fa nodded slightly: "Yes, I'll give it a try then."

Gilgamesh suddenly became gossipy: "By the way, do you have any memories of 30,000 years ago? I still think this matter is too strange."

Xia Fa shook his head: "Ancestor, really no. If there were, I wouldn't have been as surprised as you were back then."

Neither of them considered the possibility of a so-called "prophecy," that is, they did not consider that some great being had foreseen the birth of Xiafa 30,000 years later, and had created this sandalwood box in advance, and written the words "To be opened by Xiafa personally."

The reason is simple: even the First History, one of the nine great gods, and the most mysterious Ninth God, cannot predict events tens of thousands of years in the future.

Whether it's the "First History" or the Nine Great Gods, being able to predict something or someone for decades or centuries is already the limit, and it even includes countless complex deductions and possible developments.

Xia Fa knew why, in this world, although scientific development was limited, at a certain level, such as after becoming a ruler, one could see a part of the world's "essence".

This part of the "essence" refers to the various basic particles in the real world and the Protoss realm, as well as their corresponding modes of motion.

Whether it's bosons, neutrinos, electrons, or all sorts of extraordinary particles, the existence of the dominant position can already be seen and identified with the naked eye.

This leads to the obvious conclusion that the motion of all the fundamental particles that make up this world is chaotic and disordered.

This also corresponds to the fact that everyone's fate is also full of randomness and unpredictability.

Therefore, given the mental capacity of the First History and the Ninth God, being able to predict events that will occur decades or hundreds of years from now in such a completely chaotic and random state is already quite remarkable. It can be said that they exhausted all possibilities and chose the highest probability before daring to speak.

As for the idea that someone could know 30,000 years ago that they, "Xiafa," would be born prematurely, and even successfully come to the temple to encounter this sandalwood box, that's simply impossible.

Therefore, the two of them did not consider the possibility of a "prophecy" at all.

Putting aside his wandering thoughts, Xia Fa turned to look at his ancestors with a rather serious expression.

It just so happens that he's always had a question he's been wanting to ask, a question he's been very curious about.

"Ancestor————"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"I once read the Golden Beacon Scroll. It said that becoming a True God requires one hundred secret contracts and three kinds of eternity certificates. But now, even a peak Outer God can sign one hundred secret contracts and three kinds of eternity certificates. So, what exactly is the difference between an Outer God, a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, and a Celestial Venerable?"
