Chapter 364 From Human...to Godhood! (Part 2)
The moment the gold coin entered his stomach, Xia Fa immediately felt an extremely intimate and attractive force spreading throughout his body.
But then, the gold coin-shaped [Eternal Critical Strike] disappeared.
Xia Fa was almost startled. He had gone through countless hardships and risked his life to obtain the [Eternal Critical Strike]. If anything went wrong with it, it would be terrible.
But almost the next instant, something unexpected happened!
Xia Fazhen truly felt that starting from the tips of his fingers and toes, and from his first and second hearts, one "gold coin" after another began to emerge!
Three, six, twelve—countless gold coins multiplied and took over various parts of the body.
Moreover, these gold coins are self-replicating, so they are not very impressive at first, but after just a few seconds, the number of gold coins increases to an extremely terrifying number each time!
Finally, when the number of gold coins reached more than fifty trillion, the growth stopped.
Then, all fifty trillion gold coins disappeared again.
"this----"
Before Xia Fa could react, she suddenly felt a tingling and itchy sensation all over her body, accompanied by a soft "pop" sound.
He then realized that these gold coins had shrunk to the cellular level and entered every single one of his cells!
Whether it's epithelial cells, heart cells, blood vessel wall cells, muscle fiber cells, gastrointestinal mucosal cells, etc., every single cell receives a gold coin, not a single one is missed!
In an instant, a gold coin appeared in every cell of his body, and the gold coin was combining with the cell nucleus, although the whole process was extremely slow.
To be precise, starting with heart cells, the fusion of a single cell with a coin is relatively quick, taking only a fraction of a second. However, since they have to be fused one by one, it is much slower.
"Could this be the first level of spiritual transcendence, from human to deity?"
Xia Fa stared blankly, and at the same time, a huge question came to mind.
That is, what if beings without physical bodies, such as certain "spirits" in the Astral Realm, ghost-like creatures, and all sorts of strange and intangible beings, wanted to break through to the level of gods?
How can this tangible "certificate of eternity" be integrated with them?
However, since he had a real body, he only thought about it curiously for a moment before pulling his thoughts away.
He already knew what to do next, without needing to be told.
Without a doubt, the so-called "absorption and containment" proof of eternity is to completely combine the proof of eternity in every cell of one's body with the cell nucleus!
If it's a cell without a nucleus, like a platelet, then it binds to the mitochondria within it!
Once you successfully combine the gold coins in every cell of your body with the cells, then you will truly transform from a human into a god!
only----
"This project is absolutely massive!"
Xia Fa muttered a complaint to himself, and at the same time finally understood why Pope Nidhogg hadn't been able to fully absorb and contain the "Eternal Chaos" back then, but rather fell short.
Speaking of which, given Pope Nidhogg's status as the Mysterious Emperor, coupled with the Core Gold Star Dragon sealed within his [Supernatural Body], the contracted Star Spirit "Vast Moon Spirit," and most importantly, one of the strongest of the dozens of proofs of eternity, [Eternal Chaos], if He could become a god, He would likely be unbelievably powerful—
Thinking of Pope Nidhogg, Xia Fajian no longer felt troubled or tired. At the same time, he also thought of his great-grandfather, parents, cousins, and Chestnut Benes and Meowkor—
Finally, in this chaotic world where the Golden Cleanser is about to awaken, I will begin to have the ability to protect those I want to protect!
Immediately, Xia Fa began to concentrate his mind, preparing to gradually fuse the gold coin with the cell nucleus, starting from the cells of the first heart.
Over fifty trillion cells—it's impossible to know how long it would take. Even if each cell fused with the gold coin only took a fraction of a second, it still seems like an astronomical number.
"It will probably take—hundreds to thousands of years?"
Xia Fa did a simple and rough calculation: if fusing the gold coin in a single cell only takes a fraction of a second, then it would take two or three hundred years to complete.
If it's a fraction of a second, then it would take thousands of years.
If it were just a few seconds—well—that seems unlikely; it would exceed the lifespan limit of a typical Mystic Emperor.
"Wait, even if it really only takes a little over two hundred years, isn't that a bit too long?!"
At that moment, the "burning feeling" that had been cultivated in every cell of his body during the previous physical training suddenly ignited!
That was so exciting!
The burning sensation was like a high-temperature flame or some kind of highly efficient catalyst, which immediately caused the cell nucleus, mitochondria, or cell membrane in each cell to rapidly fuse with the corresponding gold coin!
In just a few seconds, all the gold coins were fused with their corresponding cells.
More than 50 trillion gold coins, corresponding to more than 50 trillion cells, actually merged completely for a moment. Golden light began to flash within the cells, and the power of "critical strike" began to take effect.
First, the cell nucleus is greatly enhanced, then the mitochondria, cell membrane, and other organelles.
Then, every inch of bone, every muscle, every piece of skin—all of them began to grow stronger in an incredible way because of the effect of the "critical hit"!
Not only that, but even the secret abilities he had mastered, the secret techniques he had learned, and even the physical changes he had undergone due to absorbing sacred metal, all began to "crush" him.
Xia Fa felt as if his spirit and soul had been sublimated, and he trembled uncontrollably. In this transformation from human to god, his consciousness began to rise towards the resilience and stability of a divine status.
Suddenly, countless points of light appeared before my eyes, like stars in the night sky. Some of these points of light were white, while others were a blurry white, and the latter were far more numerous than the former.
Xia Fa immediately understood that this represented people who believed in his true identity as "Xia Fa" and the disguised physical identity of "Gluttony"!
Fortunately, the fame of "Lord Glutton" has now spread throughout the entire universe, and even the beings of the Protoss Realm know and praise him.
Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about not having enough anchor points.
boom! ! !
Suddenly, seeing that his body and secret bond had completely absorbed and contained the [Eternal Critical Strike], and all the critical strikes had been completed, Xia Fa's body exploded.
But this time, the explosion was not a bloody and fleshy explosion; instead, it dispersed into more than 50 trillion cells!
Logically, a normal human body has over 30 to 40 trillion cells, but Xia Fa had over 50 trillion. He suspected it might be because he had grown a second heart.
Within each cell, a burning sensation first arose, like colorless, transparent yet terrifying flames enveloping the cell and burning fiercely, like burning iron balls.
Immediately, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound, strange electric currents emerged from the cell, swirling around it continuously.
All the cells suddenly trembled, taking on a sun-like texture, as if they had instantly transformed into more than fifty trillion miniature suns.
Then, from over fifty trillion cells, countless chaotic lightning bolts suddenly burst forth, forming chaotic lightning nets around the cells.
Immediately afterwards, all the cells emitted a pure white, holy, and blazing light, which blended with the texture of the sun, making the high-temperature orange-yellow even brighter and the pure, blazing white even whiter, almost blinding Xia Fa's consciousness.
Finally, accompanied by countless metallic storms emerging from around the cells, swirling around them like star rings, all the cells shuddered and began to converge toward the center.
Then, Xia Fa saw that all the sacred metals he had absorbed before—whether it was pure white light-seeking crystal silver, star whispers secret titanium, dreamlike deep-diving shadow gold, eternal vortex silicon aluminum, all the gatherings of miracles, etc.—had appeared in the form of various colored metal powders.
In just a moment, the lines of bones, nerves, organs, muscles, blood vessels, and so on are formed, waiting to merge with the cells.
"Does that mean that without absorbing enough sacred metal, it's impossible to outline the complete lines of a god's body?"
Just as Xia Fa had this thought, he saw more than 50 trillion cells suddenly aggregate and transform back into his tall and agile body.
at the same time.
In the Celestial Spirit Realm.
"Something's wrong. Something just flashed by, did you guys see it?"
The Crimson Demon Tree was originally gnawing on a meteorite and drinking lava tea with a close star cluster when it suddenly seemed to sense something and its gaze turned in a certain direction.
If a Star Spirit Rift were to be opened from that direction, it would lead directly to the Natural Starfield.
The planet, resembling the head of a dense star cluster, shook its head: "I don't know. I sensed it too. It seems to be that terrifying, mysterious forbidden zone—the [Land of Wandering Puppets and Burial Objects]—perhaps it was born from a divine-level treasure or sealed artifact?"
[Crimson Demon Tree] nodded: "Hmm, it's somewhat similar. The main thing is that it disappeared after just a brief fluctuation. In such a short time, it's impossible for someone to be breaking through and sublimating to the Godhood. That would take a lot of effort. It took me almost five hundred years back then."
The planet-like head of the Compact Cluster nodded in agreement: "It took me more than three thousand years. Fortunately, the lifespan of our Compact Cluster is as long as that of planets and stars themselves."
These two Outer Gods completely ignored the possibility that someone might have become a god through this, because the time was far too short, just a few seconds.
Even the two strongest righteous gods, Absolute Defense and Paradox Joker, could not have fully absorbed and contained the Eternal Proof in such a short time during the human era, and become subordinate gods.
In the Star Spirit Realm, many beings from the Divine Realm, the Outer Divine Realm, and even the Celestial Venerable Realm are discussing similar topics.
However, they all basically ignored the possibility that someone could become a god, and tacitly believed that a mysterious treasure or a sealed object from a god had been born.
However, this also led some of the lesser gods, lacking secret treasures or sealing artifacts, to secretly head to the [Land of the Wandering Puppet and Burial Goods].
The real world.
Ared Star.
This is the location of the earthly divine kingdom of the strongest righteous god, [Absolute Defense].
In terms of prosperity, Ared is not only in no way inferior to Caligi, but may even be more prosperous.
After all, with its reputation as the "strongest" with "absolute defense," it attracts a large number of believers to make pilgrimages every year.
At this moment, on the planet Ared, in the middle of a desolate Gobi desert.
The view was all brownish-yellow, with coarse sand and gravel covering the entire Gobi Desert. Only wisps of copper-wire-like weeds stubbornly grew, swaying from side to side as the hot wind occasionally swept by.
-
In this desolate Gobi Desert, a major road runs through the land, connecting two large cities on the planet Ared.
Near the main road to the north, a horse-drawn carriage being pulled by camels was slowly passing by.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the driver, holding down his straw hat, jumped to the ground.
Not far in front of him was a wine stall.
An exceptionally handsome young man sat in the pub, pouring himself glasses of cider.
"Boss, a refreshing cider or strawberry wine, I'm dying of heat in this weather."
The coachman had a rather old face, with deep wrinkles that looked as if they had been carved out by a knife, giving him a rather rugged and stern appearance.
He was wearing a simple white jacket and fanning himself with his straw hat, trying to alleviate the heat caused by the sticky sweat on his body.
Unexpectedly, the exceptionally handsome young man looked up upon hearing this, a hint of surprise on his face: "You—you can see me?"
Upon hearing this, the driver remained unmoved, simply replying in his usual tone, "Of course, not only can I see you, but I also have great respect for you, after all—"
He paused slightly, then said, word by word, "—You are the ninth true god in this world."
The exceptionally handsome young man's golden eyes flashed as he observed the coachman, seemingly discerning something at once.
"So it was you—you finally decided to let go?"
The coachman finally smiled, but it was a sigh-like smile: "Yes, we can't stay any longer. After all, in another year, we'll all have to face those more than ten thousand Golden Cleaners who are about to awaken."
The exceptionally handsome young man said, "I know about this. So, why have you come to see me?"
The driver sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's about that little guy you've been keeping an eye on, he—"
The exceptionally handsome young man interrupted, "Becoming a god took less than a few seconds. Moreover, after becoming a god, one can remain in the real world without causing any out-of-control pollution. I know that."
The driver asked in surprise, "You know? Wait, how did he do that?"
The exceptionally handsome young man gave a mysterious smile: "Actually, I don't know either."
At this very moment, in a stone chamber, in the place where puppets and burial goods are scattered.
Xia Fa stood up, clenched his fist, and felt the surging divine power within his body, his face full of joy.
"finally----"
The power of the gods is actually the complete sublimation and transformation of the extraordinary power within a human, demi-human, or other extraordinary being after becoming a god.
Putting aside everything else, the various secret abilities driven by divine power, as well as the secret treasures activated by them, will have their power greatly enhanced.
On the other hand, when using the authority of the eternal credentials possessed by the power of the gods, the effect can be greatly enhanced, and it can affect beings of the same rank, as well as any being below its own rank.
-
Not to mention, some extremely high-ranking treasures, such as my own [Ancient Treasure - Rhine Dawn Blade Armor], require a divine rank to truly activate some of their abilities.
Before reaching the divine level, one can only utilize "record and reproduction" at most.
Without much thought, Xia Fa darted out of the golden statue of the harpy.
In that instant, the floating puppets seemed to be suddenly activated, screaming as they rushed towards him.
But things are different now. Xia Fa didn't even look at it and just waved his hand casually.
boom!!!
These puppets seemed to have been subjected to an overwhelming force and shattered instantly!
Moreover, while a dozen or so of the wooden dolls were broken into hundreds of pieces, two of them shattered directly into powder, which scattered in the stone chamber.
Needless to say, the force these two puppets endured was dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of the other puppets!
"That triggered a critical hit?"
Xia Fa then realized what was happening, his expression showing both surprise and delight.
Now, having fully absorbed and contained [Eternal Critical Strike], it's equivalent to completely possessing [Eternal Critical Strike].
After that, one's ability to critically strike through the fourth arcane probability of the Arcane Singularity will no longer be limited to the Secret Ability.
Specifically, any offensive action, any choice, or even the effect of one's every move can potentially result in a "critical hit," and this can be controlled by oneself or triggered randomly.
This random triggering is not random; every time it is triggered, it is beneficial to oneself. One doesn't even need to think about it carefully; the calculation and decision are completed directly through subconsciousness and spiritual intuition.
The difference is that active triggering requires consuming divine power, while random triggering does not, which is equivalent to resonating with the corresponding concept in the origin of the universe.
Just now, for example, the divine power I casually unleashed struck two strands of it, directly turning the wooden doll into powder.
"Hmm—I'll go back and let everyone know I'm safe first, and then I can try using the authority of [Eternal Critical Strike]. This is the first method I'll use to solidify my divine status, and it's very important, otherwise it will lead to mental instability."
"Right, let's just go to Garlic City, or Rum City or Augustus City would also be fine, or even the City of Ten Thousand Stars would be great—"
"Then you can try to find the Golden Giant Axe Cleaner, or you can directly pray to Lord Paradox Clown to establish a connection."
"By the way, since I became a god this time, why didn't I enter the young miner's mysterious dark space?"
"Could it be that we can only enter every time a top-level secret pact is signed?"
To be honest, I really want to meet these three beings who are either righteous gods or celestial beings.
Moreover, all three of them treated me very well, so I wanted to see them in no particular order.
However, contacting the Paradox Clown is the easiest thing to do, but finding the Golden Axe Cleaner is very difficult. As for the young miners—I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the sixth Overlord-level secret contract is signed.
Speaking of which, the Gilgamesh family's treasury contains several "Fairy Tale World" scrolls, which Shafa did not retrieve before to avoid suspicion.
Because at that time, the entire universe was searching for that extraordinary genius who had signed five supreme-level secret agreements.
However, his public identity as the Holy Spirit of Destiny no longer allows him to sign more Overlord-level secret contracts, whether it's because the Holy Spirit of Destiny can only sign three contracts to begin with, or because the [Miracle Fantasy] has been exhausted on the surface.
Now, we can go and get it secretly.
As Xia Fa was pondering this, suddenly, he heard a voice of extreme surprise from a middle-aged man resound in his spiritual intuition.
It's the Paradox Joker!
"Shafa—you—you've become a god? How come you're still in the real world, and without causing even the slightest bit of uncontrolled pollution?"
