Chapter 381 [The Eternal Mistake] is in hand! Is Xia Fa not far from becoming an Outer God?
Xia Fa hadn't looked closely before, but now, after calming down and observing carefully, he finally noticed the problem with the "toothbrush".
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary toothbrush, but surprisingly, there is a button on the back of the oak toothbrush head.
That's right, it's just a button, a small round button, about a few millimeters in diameter.
Xia Fa boldly used his divine power to push the button, and unexpectedly, it clicked down.
The next moment, a flash of light appeared at the end of the toothbrush handle, and a micro-bullet whistled out from it.
The micro-bullet was incredibly destructive, penetrating directly into the inner wall of his heart. Unfortunately, his body was stronger; the micro-bullet was firmly embedded after it entered and was then expelled by his heart muscles. The slightly shallow, cone-shaped wound healed rapidly.
The micro-bullet was immediately enveloped in starlight and then teleported out by Xia Fa, landing in his palm.
Although it's just a brass bullet less than a millimeter long, it has a surprisingly heavy weight in your hand, and it's a real, tangible object, not a figment of your imagination.
Xia Fa wasn't too surprised; this was the power of the "Proof of Eternity," and creating things out of thin air was perfectly normal.
But immediately, his gaze sharpened as he realized something was wrong. With a slight tremor of his palm, the bullets separated, the casings floated up, and tumbled down in mid-air, scattering hundreds of tiny toothbrushes, each a fraction of a millimeter in size.
Around Xia Fa's palm, countless tiny fairies suddenly appeared in the void. They were only one or two millimeters tall, wearing pointed hats and long robes woven from leaves. As if in a scramble, they snatched away the miniature toothbrushes in an instant.
Immediately, they even bowed to Xia Fa as if to thank him for providing them with toothbrushes of the right size, and then they took off running into the void.
Xia Fa recognized these Protoss creatures as Void Sprites, which are similar to bacteria and other microorganisms in the Protoss world, and are specifically responsible for capturing the runaway pollution secreted by beings of other godhood.
For example, the white maggots that just came out of the trunk of the Crimson Demon Tree are a favorite food of the Void Sprites, but that's not the key point. The key point is—
"This is clearly a toothbrush, but it has a button that, when pressed, fires a powerful bullet, and inside that bullet are hundreds of even smaller toothbrushes —"
Xia Fa felt his head was spinning; based on these strange phenomena alone, he couldn't immediately deduce what kind of proof of eternity they were.
This toothbrush-shaped token of eternity is rather strange; unlike other tokens of eternity, its type cannot be discerned simply by sensory perception.
Fortunately, at that moment, a toothbrush only a few nanometers long separated from the toothbrush and immediately merged into his myocardial cells.
In that instant, my spiritual intuition trembled, and I finally received a vague name.
[The Eternal Error]
But at that very moment, Xia Fa felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he was almost knocked unconscious by the sudden surprise, leaving him speechless for a moment.
【The Eternal Error】? Isn't that one of the most powerful of the dozens of eternal credentials?!
Just now, after witnessing the strangeness of this toothbrush with his own eyes, Xia Fa had already imagined many possibilities, such as [eternal shock], [eternal humor], [eternal weirdness], and so on.
However, little did they expect that this would be an eternal mistake!
Thinking about it now, it seems to make sense. It's a misconception that a toothbrush could fire bullets. It's also a misconception that the bullets contained not gunpowder dust from a fire, but smaller toothbrushes.
But when everything is linked to the concept of "eternal error," it suddenly makes perfect sense!
Seeing that the [Eternal Error] had not only been absorbed by him by chance just now, but was now officially beginning to be absorbed, this also meant that the [Eternal Error] had become his!
Even if someone kills you, this "eternal mistake" will most likely just return to the origin of the universe, and will not fall into the hands of the enemy!
The strongest Eternal Tokens are only a few dozen in the entire universe. Last time, the competition for [Eternal Critical Strike] was so fierce that it was almost impossible to survive. This time, however, [Eternal Mistake] was obtained so easily. Xia Fa was overjoyed, but also somewhat emotional.
Oh wait, this time it wasn't easy either; I was almost killed by that three-headed giant who had transformed from a zombie into a Celestial Venerable with a single palm strike.
"What, little brother [Absolute Attack], you've successfully tolerated this [Eternal Error]?"
The avid tomb raider walked over with a smile. Just now, when Xia Fa was exploring what kind of eternal token was inside his body, he was sitting and adjusting his breathing, and he had just finished adjusting his breathing.
Xia Fa asked in surprise, "How do you know it's the [Eternal Error]?"
The fanatical tomb raider laughed, "You'll know when you get to it. Yours is the 'Eternal Mistake,' and mine is—"
As he spoke, the iron ore appeared in his palm: "It is [the eternal ore]."
【Eternal Ore】————
Xia Fa was quite interested in this kind of eternal certificate, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't absorb or contain it all himself. Besides, considering the principle of equal distribution of spoils, it should belong to the fanatical tomb raiders.
However, someone who possesses the [Eternal Ore] should have no problem finding sacred metals, right?
The fanatical tomb raider chuckled and continued, "Actually, I can accommodate and absorb both of these kinds of eternal certificates. It's just that I already possess three eternal certificates, so I gave you the [Eternal Error]. It seems you can only accommodate the [Eternal Error], not the [Eternal Ore]."
Xia Fa asked curiously, "How—how did you know?"
The avid tomb raider smiled slightly: "It's very simple. Just now, in the main burial chamber—or more precisely, inside the heart of that Celestial Venerable—after I opened the coffin lid, I saw that your gaze was focused on that toothbrush most of the time, which led me to this guess. It seems that I guessed correctly."
Xia Fa was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that this fanatical tomb raider would have such a meticulous side.
On the other hand, since the fanatical tomb raider recognized that this was the "Eternal Mistake," he still chose to give it to himself, which made Xia Fa feel even more the character of this entity, which can be said to be very noble.
After all, [Eternal Ore] is not one of the strongest dozens of Eternal Tokens.
He suddenly remembered something, his gaze falling on the golden coffin whose lid had long been closed, and asked with concern, "Are they both alright?"
The fanatical tomb raider nodded, then shook his head: "We can't say it's completely fine. After all, it was corrupted by the out-of-control quasi-celestial being who is undergoing a zombie transformation and ascension. But it's nothing serious. They should wake up after being unconscious for a while. After all, they are both mentally stable, so the risk of them going out of control is not high."
He paused, then sighed, "If this had happened to one of those beings who were already on the verge of losing control or going insane, they probably would have gone completely out of control just now, which would have been a huge problem."
Xia Fa nodded, and said with a sigh, "Yes—"
In fact, this was the first time he had ever faced the pressure of a true Celestial Venerable.
Having exhausted all his strength, even the burning sensation within his body was depleted. He had also used the critical second loss of control technique, and added all the remaining Outer God power from the fanatical tomb raider, the [Crimson Demon Tree], and the [Philosophical Pencil], not to mention the possession of the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" and the brief authority provided by [Eternal Error]. Under these circumstances, when he used the [Old Treasure - Rhine Blade of Calamity] to unleash a strike, and even with the ultimate move "Calamity Severing," he only managed to cut off one of the Celestial Venerable's hands.
Moreover, it wasn't an irreversible serious injury like cutting off the [Shepherd Elf's] arm, but rather a minor injury among minor ones. This Celestial Venerable regenerated a new hand almost immediately after only one or two seconds.
It has to be said that the Celestial Venerable truly lives up to his name. Crushing his current self would probably be as easy as crushing a tiny insect.
If even the Celestial Venerables are this powerful, then what about the True Gods—?
"Speaking of which, [Absolute Attack], you have quite a few secrets. I feel like you're even more mysterious than your elder, the Glutton."
The avid tomb raider finally couldn't resist bringing up the topic, then bombarded him with a string of questions: "What are those colorless, transparent flames on your body? They seem to greatly enhance your strength. Also, why did the Mystic Star Spirit, transformed from the Iron-Blooded Conqueror Paul, choose to possess you? Oh, and you even managed to go through a second bout of loss of control!"
It seems that only those at the Outer God level can successfully cultivate this, right?
"Cough cough."
Xia Fa coughed lightly twice, just about to think of an explanation.
Anyway, aside from the sudden possession of the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" and the near-second loss of control, the only secret he revealed seemed to be the burning sensation.
However, to the fanatical tomb raider, it was just a colorless and transparent flame. He couldn't even recognize it as originating from his own heart meridian, unlike Gastis the Great Axe outside the Dream Come True sea train.
Furthermore, the fanatical tomb raider was a person of noble character, fair and just, and considered one of their own, so he probably wouldn't tell anyone.
Just as Xia Fagang was thinking this and organizing his words, the fanatical tomb raider laughed heartily and volunteered, "However, don't worry, I definitely won't reveal these things to anyone. Besides, no one else saw it except that Celestial Venerable. To exaggerate a bit, even if Lord Gluttony doesn't know about these things and then comes to ask me, I won't tell!"
Xia Fa was taken aback: "You fanatical tomb raider, you—"
The fanatical tomb raider's gaze turned sincere as he explained, "If I said that's just how I am, you probably wouldn't believe me. So let me talk about something more realistic. [Absolute Attack] young man, I sensed tremendous potential in you, something I've never seen in any other young person. That's why I chose to keep it a secret, so that you'd consider me one of your own."
Actually, Xia Fa believed him even without his explanation, simply because the fanatical tomb raider had unhesitatingly taken the "Eternal Error."
You can tell a lot about the character of a person by how they give things to themselves.
So he smiled and said, "In any case, thank you, brother, the avid tomb raider. One day, if my secrets become something I can tell you, I will definitely do so."
Seeing that he had changed his address from "Sir" to "Big Brother," appearing much more intimate, the fanatical tomb raider couldn't help but show a very pleased expression, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, that's great! Right, let's take this opportunity to see what good things this Celestial Venerable has in his black bag. He just left without a word, not even wanting this black bag, nor even these two kinds of eternal certificates. Isn't that strange? Hahaha."
With a beaming smile, he took out the black bag, its jewel-like color mixed with eternal swirling silicon-aluminum patterns, and waved to Xia Fa.
A strong sense of curiosity arose in Xia Fa's heart, and he walked over.
The avid tomb raider was about to open the extremely high-level black bag, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, and then shot a beam of black light towards the golden coffin behind him.
The next moment, the coffin lid was flung open with a bang, revealing the unconscious [Crimson Demon Tree] and [Philosophy Pencil] inside.
Fortunately, the signs of loss of control on these two Outer Gods have almost disappeared. The trunk of the Crimson Demon Tree no longer expels worms, and the off-white roots under its feet have retracted. The three-headed giant pattern is no longer on the book that replaced the head of the Philosophy Pencil.
"Let them both come and see, otherwise it's a bit unfair to them. [Absolute Attack] Little brother, what do you think?"
"I have no objection; this is indeed fairer."
Seeing that Xia Fa agreed, the fanatical tomb raider smiled knowingly, and seemed to agree with Xia Fa even more. He took a few steps forward, marking the three directions of "Ling Tian", "Mist Eagle" and "Nine Fish", and then pointed his fingers into a halberd towards the open golden coffin.
Unlike the thick death aura that always emanated from him before, this time, a vibrant blue aura burst forth from his fingertips, which he immediately infused into the [Crimson Demon Tree] and the [Philosophy Pencil].
"The power of astrology—"
Xia Fa watched with great emotion. Although he didn't understand it very well, he knew that "Lingtian", "Wuying", and "Jiuyu" represented three astrological aspects of "hope".
Lingtian goes without saying; that is resurrection, the hope of being reborn from the brink of death.
The image represented by the fog eagle is an eagle breaking free from the fog, which also symbolizes "escaping from danger" in astrology.
As for the Nine Fish, it is a creature with extremely strong vitality. Although it is not a supernatural creature, it can survive in any extreme environment, including in magma, snow-capped mountains, and even in the starry sky where there is no oxygen or water.
The symbolism represented by the Nine Fish constellation is "tenacity," "resilience," and "survival."
These three celestial phenomena combined can even temporarily alter the power within the body of the fanatical tomb raider, transforming it from a deathly aura into a vibrant one, thereby reviving the Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophical Pencil.
Of course, in the entire universe, besides fanatical tomb raiders, probably only the nine righteous gods and the [Apostles of Knowledge] can use the power of celestial phenomena so casually.
The reason why fanatical tomb raiders can use such methods so freely is because they have access to the rules of "tomb raiding".
As for anyone else, they can only borrow the power of the stars through the arrangement of ritual arrays, which is incomparable in terms of convenience and effectiveness.
The next moment, as the cyan aura surged in, the Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil groaned and woke up.
They both seemed somewhat bewildered, but all signs of losing control had disappeared.
The avid tomb raider appeared somewhat exhausted, as if the little strength he had managed to gather earlier had been completely depleted.
"Friends, come here. Let's open this Celestial Venerable's black bag together and see if we need to divide it, and if so, how we should divide it."
The fanatical tomb raider weakly waved to the two men, but managed a forced smile.
"Oh, oh! Okay!"
After looking around in confusion, the Crimson Demon Tree seemed to remember what had just happened. Its face showed both the joy of escaping a desperate situation and the great confusion of not being able to understand it at all.
He strode forward with legs as thick as tree trunks, instantly appearing in front of Xia Fa and the fanatical tomb raiders, and immediately asked urgently, "How did we survive? Did that Quasi-Celestial Venerable's corpse transformation attempt fail?"
The avid tomb raider smiled mysteriously: "He seemed to disdain arguing with small fry like us. He had some urgent business to attend to and left."
The Philosophy Pencil then walked over, and the pencil that replaced the head drew a "0(∩—∩)0" emoticon on the book, while making a sound: "That's really a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, oh no, it's a stroke of luck amidst fortune. After all, no matter what, we can barely be considered to have successfully raided the tomb, and now we're even alive, hahaha."
Originally, with the peak status of the [Philosophy Pencil] Outer God and the composure of a Philosophy Attendant clan, it would have been impossible for her to draw such an expression on a book that replaced her brain.
However, seeing that he had survived, he couldn't suppress his excitement and couldn't hold back.
The avid tomb raider then said in a consultative tone, "By the way, we couldn't bring out that black gold coffin. You see—"
[Philosophy Pencil] waved his hand: "It's alright. After all, you're the one who led us out of that Celestial Venerable's body. Otherwise, we would have become nourishment for His transformation and ascension long ago. I don't need any reward."
Upon hearing this, the fanatical tomb raider waved his hand generously, "That won't do. Here's the deal: I'll decide. If this black bag doesn't have what you need, I'll pick one out for you from my tomb raiding collection!"
If the Philosophy Pencil had insisted on having a trophy, the fanatical tomb raider might not have shared it with him. But seeing how clean and straightforward he was, he had no choice but to give it to him.
[Philosophy Pencil] laughed and said, "Actually, I didn't put in much effort at all when we went down to the tomb of the Quasi-Celestial Venerable. How about this, let's see what's in the black bag first."
Speaking of this, everyone inexplicably became expectant and quite excited, after all, it was a black bag left behind by a quasi-celestial being!
Moreover, needless to say, this quasi-celestial being was exceptionally extraordinary. Not only did he have grand ambitions and a deep cunning, but he also truly succeeded!
Throughout history, countless beings have attempted to ascend from corpses to higher levels, with the difficulty increasing with the rank. In the entire history of the extraordinary, there are only a handful of beings who have ascended from quasi-celestial beings to celestial beings through corpse transformation!
This demonstrates the power of this three-headed giant-like deity.
And now, everyone is about to open His black bag!
Actually, if the group had managed to escape from this Celestial Venerable's clutches, the fanatical tomb raider would have definitely led them to a safe place to open the tomb. However, since the Celestial Venerable spared them because of his [Absolute Attack] ability, opening the tomb here wouldn't have been a problem.
With their combined strength—one physical being, two peak Outer Gods, and another being whose combat power rivals that of an Outer God—they really have nothing to fear as long as they don't encounter any fake Nine True Gods, the Golden Cleanser, or other Celestial Venerables in the Star Spirit Realm.
The fanatical tomb raider casually flicked his wrist, and the treasure-hunting compass flew out of his sleeve. It spun rapidly, growing larger than a millstone, and scattered countless ancient runes that enveloped the group.
The anti-divination and anti-peeping power emanating from the physical body immediately permeated the surroundings, even making Xia Fa feel a sense of security.
At that moment, the fanatical tomb raider pulled the rope that secured the very high-grade black bag, thus opening this black bag from the Celestial Venerable.
Wow!!!
Suddenly, three beams of light shot out from it, illuminating almost the entire Star Spirit Starry Sky. Each beam of light burst forth with an extraordinary aura!
Fortunately, the aura within the light did not spill out of the area covered by the treasure-hunting compass inscriptions.
The three beams of light quickly faded, and everyone finally saw the treasure lying quietly at the bottom of the black bag.
The interior of this black bag was so large that it could almost hold a planet. Inside, there was a banana-like fruit, a bottle of bright red potion that looked like chili water, and a badly tattered ancient book.
In that instant, countless "!!!"s appeared on the book that replaced the brain of the "Philosophy Pencil," as if it had been excited to the extreme!
"My God, it's a rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar?! My God!"
A rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar?
Xia Fa had heard of the "Starry Sea Copper Pillar," which seemed to be a supreme divine object born during the great event that occurred 30,000 years ago, which affected the entire universe and directly led to the birth of extraordinary beings.
There are only a handful of such supreme divine objects in the entire universe, and the "Golden Beacon Scroll" that he had personally perused was one of them.
The "Golden Beacon Scroll" directly records the secret to becoming a true god, and it remains one of the highest-level extraordinary intelligences he possesses to this day.
Not to mention, the only forbidden secret technique in the world, the cultivation method of "critical loss of control", also originated from the Golden Dao Beacon Scroll.
As for the purpose of this "Starry Sea Copper Pillar" and what it records, Xia Fa had no idea. In any case, the secrets recorded on it were certainly no less than those on the Golden Beacon Scroll.
In other words, there are no methods to become a true god without losing the cultivation techniques that are on the verge of going out of control!
"A rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar?"
The avid tomb raider was clearly overjoyed; his eyes widened and his gaze shone brighter than ever before.
Who would have thought that a rubbing of the Starry Sea Copper Pillar would actually be found in the black bag inside the coffin of this quasi-celestial being?
He immediately took it out, but didn't open it.
Xia Fa carefully examined the ancient book. It was light brown in color, with a tattered cover and many missing pages.
From the turned pages, he could vaguely see some ancient secret texts, but they were all extremely obscure and profound. Just one glance made him feel dizzy and lightheaded.
More importantly, these ancient cryptic texts are all unfamiliar, and their meaning is completely incomprehensible!
[Philosophy Pencil] could no longer contain his excitement and eagerly asked, "Brother Frenzied Tomb Raider, can I have this rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar? Don't worry, I can swear a soul oath in front of the three of you that I will be the only one to see it and will never reveal it to anyone else. Once I've deciphered all the contents, I'll share it with the three of you immediately!"
The avid tomb raider still hadn't opened the rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the [Philosophy Pencil], and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"
Instead of answering directly, the Philosophy Pencil raised its right hand and extended three fingers.
"I, the Philosophical Pencil of the Philosopher Clan, hereby swear a soul oath to the physical fanatic tomb raider," the Magic Tree, and the bound disciple, the Crimson Demon Tree, and to the god, Absolute Attack, that I will never divulge even a single copy of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar rubbing I have obtained today. Furthermore, once deciphered, I will immediately share it with the three of you. If I break this oath, I will die instantly, never to be resurrected!"
The three of them were shocked to see that He had made such a solemn vow.
You must understand that this is a soul oath, and once it is made, it will truly take effect. Of course, it must be done entirely willingly; forcing someone to make an oath by coercion will not work.
On the other hand, if one makes a soul vow entirely of one's own free will, visions will immediately occur.
Sure enough, there was a rumble in the depths of the universe, and the next moment, countless huge iron chains came from the depths of the Star Spirit Starfield. The chains rattled and rubbed against each other, and they all wrapped around the [Philosophy Pencil].
Each chain appeared so solemn and cold, as if it truly represented the inviolable constraints and laws of this world.
The next moment, all the huge iron chains disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.
"this----"
Seeing this scene, Xia Fa understood that the soul oath made by the [Philosophy Pencil] was indeed valid; if it was broken, He would really die. However, he was still shocked by the spectacle.
Could it be that the soul oath made by the [Philosophy Pencil] is at the pinnacle of Outer Godhood, which is why it caused such a stir?
Upon witnessing this scene, the fanatical tomb raider and the Crimson Demon Tree immediately and completely believed the Philosophy Pencil. The fanatical tomb raider even handed over the rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar to Him.
【Crimson Demon Tree】 chuckled, "Anyway, we won't understand the rubbings of the Starry Sea Copper Pillar unless we decipher them. Besides, we don't even know which part of the rubbing this is. I heard there are nine rubbings in total. 【Philosophy Pencil】, it's up to you to decipher them!"
The fanatical tomb raider sighed, "Indeed, apart from your Philosopher's Clan, there are few others in the entire universe capable of deciphering the rubbing of this Star Sea Bronze Pillar. Even if I were a physical being, I wouldn't dare to open it for fear of my mind being severely and irreparably polluted."
Upon hearing this, Xia Fa finally understood why the fanatical tomb raiders hadn't even bothered to look at the rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar. So that's why.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense. I felt dizzy and lightheaded just from seeing a single ancient inscription on the flipped page of this rubbing. If I were to open it and see an entire page, who knows what would happen?
However, at the same time, he was also a little excited. As long as the Philosophy Pencil successfully deciphered it, he would be able to obtain secrets or information of a similar level to those recorded in the Golden Beacon Scroll.
Seeing that the rubbing of the Starry Sea Bronze Pillar had found its owner, [Philosophy Pencil] was extremely excited and thrilled, not even bothering to look at the remaining two spoils of war. Without a doubt, these remaining spoils belonged to the fanatical tomb raider and Xia Fafen.
As for the Crimson Demon Tree, since the incomplete ancient treasures were of considerable value, it wisely chose not to share these two spoils.
The fanatical tomb raider took out the banana-shaped fruit and the chili-water-like potion. He recognized their origin at a glance and said, "This is an Old Fruit that has mutated after absorbing the flesh and blood of the Old Ruler [Mistletoe Navel]. It can be used to increase the success rate of cultivating to the point of losing control three times. As for this potion, it is an Old Potion. Its effect is to make the person who drinks it faint instantly from the spiciness, regardless of their rank. Of course, it has no effect on true gods."
After a pause, the fanatical tomb raider added, "This potion was made by [Rhine Calamity], who is also an Old One. It is said that this Old One, in addition to crafting secret treasures, likes to use all sorts of scraps to make extraordinary potions. Pick one, [Absolute Attack], little brother."
Xia Faren was dumbfounded. What was the point of [Rhine Disaster] creating all these strange little gadgets?
He certainly wanted the Old Fruit, which had mutated from the flesh and blood of the Parasitic Navel, much more. It could increase the chances of successfully completing the third critical loss of control, which would be extremely useful.
The critical second loss of control—without using the sensation of burning, it has been his biggest trump card for a brief burst of power. The effect of the critical third loss of control is simply unimaginable.
Oh no, it's still conceivable. When the Immortal Mummy was critically injured and on the verge of death, it used the critical loss of control three times and directly killed the Silver Cleaner "Silver Axe"! The Silver Axe's injuries at the time were not nearly as serious as its own, and it still had combat power, which shows how powerful it was.
"Um—I—"
Xia Fa hesitated, wanting the old fruit, but considering that he had just obtained one of the strongest dozens of eternal tokens, the [Eternal Error], he felt a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the fanatical tomb raider laughed heartily, deliberately pinching the chili potion and hiding it in his clothes: "Give me this Ancient Potion. [Absolute Attack] Little brother, you'll suffer a little loss, but take this Ancient Fruit."
As he spoke, he winked at Xia Fa discreetly, revealing a sly look.
Xia Fa chuckled inwardly and had no choice but to reach out and take the old fruit. At the same time, he made up his mind that when the fanatical tomb raider tried to break through to the Quasi-Celestial Venerable level, he would transform into the "Glutton" to help him succeed!
Having seen that all the spoils had been distributed, and having survived a near-death escape and faced the Heavenly Venerable in battle, the group was quite exhausted. It was the fanatical tomb raider who suggested that they part ways.
【Crimson Demon Tree】 waved goodbye to the group reluctantly, then turned and walked into the void. 【Philosophy Pencil】, on the other hand, had no time to care about anything else. Its eyes were fixed on the half-opened rubbing of the Star Sea Bronze Pillar, and it also walked into the void.
Suddenly, in the vast expanse of the Star Spirit Starry Sky, only Xia Fa and the fanatical tomb raiders remained.
"【Absolute Attack】Little brother, that's settled then. We'll meet again sometime if fate allows. If you still want to raid tombs with me, haha."
The avid tomb raider chuckled nonchalantly, flicked his sleeve, and a pickaxe appeared in his hand, seemingly ready to dig a tunnel and leave.
Xia Fa suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "By the way, Brother Crazy Tomb Raider, do you know the whereabouts of the [Error Rule] among the Nine Great Gods?"
Just now, as he was about to part ways with everyone, Xia Fa suddenly remembered something, something very important.
That is, since among the nine righteous gods, [First History] possesses [Eternal Knowledge], [Paradox Clown] possesses [Eternal Paradox], [Silver Universe] possesses [Eternal Space], [Absolute Defense] possesses [Eternal Defense], and [Temporary Reality] possesses [Eternal Reality] —
Then, shouldn't the "fault rule" have the "perpetual fault"?
But why did this "eternal mistake" end up in the great tomb formed from the corpse of that three-headed giant deity, and then come to be obtained by him?
The avid tomb raider was taken aback at first, and as if instinctively he wanted to ask Xia Fa why he was asking this, but immediately he shuddered and realized the oversight in his thinking.
"Wait, you mean—"
Seeing that he seemed to understand, Xia Fa nodded solemnly.
The fanatical tomb raider's face grew more serious than ever before, his eyes filled with contemplation and recollection. He murmured, "It seems the bard was right—"
Xia Fa asked, puzzled, "What did the bard say?"
The fanatical tomb raider shook his head: "That was about a thousand years ago. At that time, our Entity Redemption Society was having a gathering, and everyone was drunk. The bard mysteriously pulled me aside and said that among the nine great gods, the current [Error Rules] might be fake."
"At the time, we didn't know about the truth of the Nine Great Gods until recently. You might not know, but in the last two days, the Gourmet and the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons have mocked us countless times, saying that they both knew all along that the Nine Great Gods were fake."
"But all in all, that time the bard told me that, based on the clues he had recently uncovered, the real 'faulty rule'—might be dead!"
The "Error Rule," one of the nine righteous gods, is arguably the most mysterious of them all, second only to the ninth righteous god. Yet, he died at least a thousand years ago.
Xia Fa was shocked. He had thought that all nine righteous gods except for [First History] were alive, but trapped in different places. Moreover, strictly speaking, [First History] was also alive.
Surprisingly, the [faulty rule] is already dead!
The avid tomb raider let out a long sigh: "Today was far too dangerous, which is why I didn't connect the two events at first. Of course, the fact that more than a thousand years have passed also played a part, and I was quite drunk at the time. The extraordinary wine brewed by the gourmet had a significant effect—but in any case, since we have found the [Eternal Error], it means that the [Error Rule] is indeed dead."
Xia Fa pondered, "Could it be that more than ten thousand years ago, when the real nine Great Gods were replaced by fake ones?"
The fanatical tomb raider's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly: "Possibly. Thinking about it now, it must have been extremely dangerous, after all, even Lord [Absolute Defense] was replaced—"
Although the reason for their defeat is unknown, given this situation, it's possible that the other true gods perished on the spot. Moreover, their identities were taken over by fake nine true gods, making resurrection through faith impossible. This matter is extremely significant, enough to cause a massive upheaval throughout the entire universe.
But something even bigger is already happening.
In other words, the nine true gods are all fake. [First History] transformed into a barrier, enveloping the more than ten thousand sleeping Golden Cleansers. Then, [Mourning Clown] and [Silver Universe] waged war against the fake nine true gods and Alm Giantbow.
Oh, and there's also the remarkable achievement of [Absolute Defense] single-handedly holding off thirty-five Golden Cleaners.
Xia Fa understood that the fanatical tomb raider was able to learn the news so quickly because he was a physical being, but it wouldn't be long before the entire universe would know.
Seemingly because he had analyzed the fall of the [Error Rule], the fanatical tomb raider's thoughts became extremely complex. He sighed softly and said, "Do you know, in this world, the one who truly deserves the title of number one in tomb raiding is the [Error Rule]?"
"I'm an adult now. The second is the [Apostle of Knowledge], and I'll be third."
He gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh as he spoke: "I thought that even though the awakening of the Golden Cleansers is less than a year away, I might still have a chance to raid the tombs of the Great Old Ones with Lord [Error Rule]."
Xia Fa asked in surprise, "You've never met Lord [The Wrong Rules] before?"
The fanatical tomb raider shook his head: "No, I am a physical entity that was born more than nine thousand years ago. There was a gap of more than a thousand years between when the Nine True Gods were replaced by the fake Nine True Gods. In the third ten thousand years of the universe, apart from the story teller, the bard, and the first entity, none of us other entities were qualified to meet the Nine True Gods."
But immediately, a strange light shone in his eyes: "Do you know why I admire Lord [Error Rule] so much?"
Xia Fa asked curiously, "Why?"
The fanatical tomb raiders, however, looked towards the Star Spirit Starry Sky. As far as the eye could see, they could vaguely make out some damaged tombs, some belonging to rulers, some to gods, and even some to outer gods.
In the Celestial Realm, such damaged tombs are commonplace, while intact tombs are mostly hidden in the void and require a certain level of astrological knowledge to find.
Moreover, the higher the status of the being, the more difficult it is to find their tomb.
He didn't answer the question directly, but instead said quietly, "Have you ever wondered why so many gods, even quasi-celestial beings and celestial beings, and even the ancient rulers, would go to such lengths to set up tombs?"
Before Xia Fa could answer, he said in an even more mysterious tone, "Actually, it's all because of Lord [Error Rule], because of his origins, and the method by which he became a true god."
