Chapter 386 Xia Fa's family...hides a secret at the level of a true god?

Chapter 386 Xia Fa's family...hides a secret at the level of a true god?

Gilgamesh pulled at the Shafa, but found it wouldn't budge. He turned back and said, "My son, what's wrong? You—"

—

He paused abruptly halfway through his sentence, and countless cryptic characters flashed across his black pupils for a fleeting moment before returning to their clear state.

However, the expression on His face showed even more surprise.

"Descendant, you... you're actually a hybrid of the Gilgamesh and Prometheus families?"

Xia Fa had originally intended to reveal his identity so that his ancestor wouldn't be in a hurry, but unexpectedly, He saw through it immediately.

Or, to be precise, it was discovered directly through the [Secret of Eternity].

It must be said that this [Secret of Eternity], as one of the strongest dozens of Eternity Certificates, is really useful.

Then Xia Fa laughed and said, "Yes, ancestor, you've found out."

Gilgamesh's eyes lit up with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that some of my descendants are quite capable, managing to marry members of the Prometheus family. By the way, how is the Prometheus family doing now? In my time, I heard that some gods even took a liking to the Prometheus family and were preparing to take them as their chosen family."

Xia Fa asked in surprise, "Ancestor, you've come all this way to join in the fun, don't you know what happened to the Prometheus family?"

Gilgamesh asked in bewilderment, "What happened? I was just passing by. You're not telling me that the Prometheus family has been wiped out, are you?"

Xia Fa immediately replied, "No, but—well—it's practically annihilation."

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh's divine power rippled slightly, and countless runes flashed in his eyes once more.

Then, He shook His head and sighed with great regret: "So that's how it is, alas—"

Seeing this, Xia Fa knew that his ancestor had learned about the Prometheus family through the [Secret of Eternity], so he quickly asked, "Was the destruction of the Prometheus family more than ten thousand years ago orchestrated by the Golden Cleansers?"

Gilgamesh shook his head slightly: "I don't know, Shafa. Do you know what Lord Paradox Joker warned me when I first obtained the Secret of Eternity?"

Xia Fa asked curiously, "What?"

Gilgamesh said cryptically, "At the time, Lord Paradoxical Clown told me to control my curiosity. If my spiritual intuition gave me a sense of danger while I was investigating certain secrets, I had to stop immediately. Just now, I was preparing to investigate who was responsible for the destruction of the Prometheus family, but—"

He took a deep breath and said, word by word, "—I sensed the same extremely dangerous premonition as when I was investigating the secrets of the true gods and the Great Old Ones!"

When He uttered these words, His expression was extremely solemn, as if to say that if He continued to investigate, both the Gilgamesh family and the Gilgamesh family would suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Xia Fa was taken aback, but then a flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized something.

If our ancestors felt the same extreme danger as when investigating who attacked the Prometheus family more than 10,000 years ago, as when investigating the secrets of gods, then—could it be the other way around that it was indeed possible that the Golden Cleanser was behind it?

He was just about to discuss this topic with his ancestor when Gilgamesh, seemingly considering his words, said, "However, given this situation, the destruction of the Prometheus family might indeed have been the work of the Golden Cleansers, but—why?

Given the unparalleled power of the Golden Cleaners, who possess the status of true gods, why would they specifically target a supernatural family in the real world that is not even a family favored by the gods?

Moreover, he personally took charge and didn't even send out Silver Cleaners or Bronze Cleaners.

It's important to know that even at its peak, the Prometheus family's head was only a Grand Monarch, and the total number of rulers and Grand Monarchs within the family was probably less than a few hundred!

In this situation, a Bronze Cleaner would have been enough, so why did the Gold Cleaner have to take action personally?

This extremely strange fact caused both the ancestor and his descendant to fall into deep thought. Fortunately, it did not delay anything, as the two had already flown to the entrance of the inverted pyramid.

Now that they were closer, Xia Fa felt even more the grandeur and magnificence of the inverted pyramid. The entire pyramid was grayish-black, with crisscrossing straight lines on its surface. These lines vaguely formed a huge ancient cryptic text, but no one could recognize what it represented.

Xiafa realized that this inverted pyramid was unlikely to have been built by the extraordinary ruler of the Prometheus family back then; it was more likely the work of the Celestial Venerable.

At this moment, in the very center of the topmost layer of the inverted pyramid, which is also the largest layer, many stones floated out, revealing square openings, which are the gates.

People would occasionally rush inside, but strangely, some never came out again, while others were mysteriously teleported out, and when they tried to rush in again, they were blocked by an invisible force.

However, Xia Fa understood that this was probably a screening process for those who had signed the Star Spirit Law Master agreement. In other words, those who hadn't signed this overlord-level secret contract wouldn't be able to enter.

"Ancestor, did you sign a contract with the Celestial Spirit Master?"

Xia Fa asked a question, thinking that with the strength of his ancestor at the peak of Outer God, he should have at least six overlord-level secret contracts, and the probability of him signing a contract with the Star Spirit Law Master should not be small.

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh shook his head: "No, the four I'm missing are the Primordial Secrets, the Silver Throne, the Miracle Fantasy, and the Celestial Lord."

this----

Xia Fa had originally wanted to fight alongside his ancestors, but things turned out this way.

Gilgamesh, however, patted him on the shoulder, his voice full of encouragement: "So, it's up to you now. You must retrieve that secret treasure for your family!"

Seeing that people were still rushing into the entrance of the inverted pyramid, making the entrance very crowded, Xia Fa didn't rush in for the time being, because he had more important things to do.

After thinking about it, he decided to speak up.

"Ancestor, I have one more request."

Gilgamesh laughed and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? In a sense, you are my closest relative. If there is anything you want me to do for you, I will definitely do it. Speak."

Xia Fa carefully began, “Actually, besides the soul essence crystals that attract so many gods from beyond the gods in Prometheus’s family treasure, the most important thing for the family members is a secret that the patriarch who hid this family treasure more than ten thousand years ago vowed to pass down even at the cost of his life.”

Gilgamesh asked in surprise, "A secret?"

Xia Fa nodded: "Well, I don't know what that secret is or how valuable it is. It just so happens that you, Ancestor, possess the [Proof of Eternity]. I was thinking of asking you to help me investigate before I officially participate in the competition for the family's secret treasure."

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers: "Easy, especially now that you've pointed it out specifically, it'll be even easier for me to investigate. Wait a moment while I circulate my energy."

He suddenly clasped his hands together, his eyes flashing with ancient runes, and his aura instantly surged to its peak, even surpassing that of the Crimson Demon Tree.

Xia Fa waited patiently, while also realizing that the power of the "secret" authority had already permeated the surroundings, meaning that no one could hear their conversation.

It seems our ancestor is still quite energetic.

Suddenly, Gilgamesh shuddered violently, his face turned pale in an instant, and he even coughed up a large pool of bright red blood.

Seeing that He was about to collapse, Xia Fa quickly stepped forward and supported Him, asking with great concern, "Ancestor, what's wrong?"

Gilgamesh was breathing heavily, his face ashen, but his eyes were filled with deep fear: "The secret hidden in your Prometheus family's treasury—it's—it's at the level of a true god!"
