Chapter 399 The Mysterious Box with Xia Fa's Name Written 30,000 Years Ago? Is It Related to Xia Fa's Background?

At this moment, both Xia Fa and Gilgamesh were completely stunned.

Gilgamesh even thought he was seeing things, rubbed his eyes, and looked more closely at the pure white, light-seeking silver nameplate on the sandalwood box.

After confirming that it was true, he stood there stunned as if he had been electrocuted, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

What's going on?

My own descendants—they actually existed 30,000 years ago?

Isn't he only a little over 20 years old?

Gilgamesh was absolutely certain of this, because the Secret of Eternity allowed him to easily trace back to the origins of the Shaphat lineage.

Shaphat Gilgamesh's father was named Chario de Augustus.

Chario de Augustus's father was named Senkalov de Augustus.

Senkalov de Augustus's father, needless to say, was none other than the former head of the Gilgamesh family, the Holy Emperor of the Church of Paradox, Sharatul Gilgamesh.

Not only can this lineage be traced so clearly, Gilgamesh even knows that Senkalov de Augustus originally had neither "de," the middle name representing nobility, nor "Augustus," in his name; he was simply called "Senkalov."

This name is very deliberate; the surname is deliberately omitted, and a common name found in the villages and towns of the Augu Kingdom is used, making it easy for someone with ulterior motives to overlook and impossible to investigate.

Besides tracing the origins of the Shafa lineage, Gilgamesh could also sense that Shafa indeed possessed the extraordinary family talent of the Gilgamesh family, the Bloodline Divine Healing.

Not to mention the deep blood ties between Xiafa, Xialatu, and himself.

All of this proves that Xia Fa is indeed a child born in the Xia La Tu lineage only twenty years ago.

But ironically, the secret of the true god hidden in the Prometheus family's ancestral vault—the very sandalwood box with its upturned corners—bears the name Shafa.

Suddenly, Gilgamesh realized something and grabbed at the sandalwood box.

With a tug, what he grabbed was not the sandalwood box itself, but the dust around it, including stone chips from the altar, and even some lacquer that had peeled off the sandalwood box over the years.

The dust, stone chips, and paint shimmered like starlight in Gilgamesh's palm, while his eyes were slightly closed, clearly indicating that he had entered a state of "dream divination."

However, as a peak Outer God, He also possesses one of the strongest dozens of proofs of eternity, the [Secret of Eternity]. When He uses Dream to seize power, the difference is naturally incomparable.

Xia Fa watched his ancestor's actions without disturbing him, because his own heart was also in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

Initially, when the [Apostle of Knowledge] at the Unknown Existence Conference "recognized" him and even greeted him, he didn't pay much attention, at most making some speculations.

Later, when the three giant-like deities also "recognized" him directly, and even gave up pursuing the matter of his attempt to rob their tomb, he was already very suspicious.

And now, in this sandalwood box, which is a secret of god-level importance that the Prometheus family is determined to protect at all costs, there are words written on it that read "Xia Fa, please open this box."

This made Xia Fa truly realize that he had to face this problem squarely.

That is, is he a time traveler, or a young person born in Rum City more than 20 years ago, or perhaps—he has actually lived for 30,000 years?

If I really have lived for 30,000 years, then what about my memories as a transmigrator, my memories of growing up in Rum City from childhood, and even my undeniable blood connection with the Gilgamesh family?

At the same time, Xia Fa remembered something else.

That was the scene where, during a random meal, I accidentally ended up in the bronze palace of the Cloth Bag Dynasty and encountered the gourmet.

At the time, pretending to be a "bulimic," I reluctantly ordered a dish of stir-fried lamb intestines with eggs when faced with a real "gourmet's" request to order food. Moreover, I specifically requested that the lamb's cecum be used.

When I looked inward with my spiritual intuition, I found that I not only did not have an appendix, but there were also traces of laser burns from modern medicine on my appendix.

This is exactly the same appendectomy I had before I time-traveled!

In this extraordinary world, technology is not so advanced. Of course, this is also because of the existence of advanced secret contracts such as "surgical masters" and "healing experts". Removing the appendix only requires activating the secret contract's ability, without the trouble of opening the abdomen, disinfecting, removing, lasering and suturing.

But this precisely proves that what I've always believed—that my soul merely transmigrated to this world and into the body of someone who looks similar to me and shares the same name, "Xia Fa"—is likely wrong.

Connecting this to the present situation, where I suspect I have lived for over 30,000 years —

"Hmm—what we need to determine now is whether this sandalwood box itself, and this pure white, light-tracing silver nameplate, especially the lettering on it, are possibly counterfeit."

"If it's really a fake, then it might be a scheme deliberately set up by the fake Nine Great Gods or the Golden Cleansers."

"But if it's true—"

Xia Fa then turned to look at his ancestor, and he understood that his ancestor was actually verifying this matter.

Coincidentally, our ancestor was perfectly suited to verify this matter. Possessing the "Secret of Eternity," once he discovered that the sandalwood box was a fake, he would surely react in an unexpected way.

For example, he was seriously injured because he once again inadvertently touched upon something involving prying into the secrets of a god-level being.

Fortunately, I have the old fruits that my ancestors just bestowed upon me, so I can just use them again if necessary.

Perhaps for this reason, Xia Fa became somewhat uneasy, even able to hear his own heartbeat. After all, this involved the question of his origins and background, which was, besides what major events had occurred 30,000 years ago, the mystery he most wanted to know—

Suddenly, Gilgamesh opened his eyes, his complexion was quite normal, and there was no sign of him suffering any backlash.

However, it was as if an earthquake was happening in His pupils, showing that His heart was extremely unsettled.

"Ancestor————"

As soon as Shafa called out, Gilgamesh turned around and looked at him, his tone becoming extremely solemn.

"Descendants, this—well, let me just say this: whether it's this sandalwood box, this pure white luminous silver nameplate, or even the writing on it, they are all genuine, and—"

He paused, took a deep breath, and said, word by word, "Indeed, they all come from 30,000 years ago."

Xia Fa felt a sudden "boom" in his mind, and all sorts of mysteries related to his past rushed into his mind at the same time.

Whether it's the burning sensation, the strange electric current, the most important physical training, the random free meals, time travel, the frantic signing of overlord-level secret contracts—and so on.

And now, a most important, yet also the most revolutionary, clue has emerged.

I have really lived for 30,000 years?

Not only has he lived for 30,000 years, but someone also left this god-level secret specifically for him.

So, what exactly am I?

What exactly was inside this 30,000-year-old sandalwood box?

Gilgamesh then let out another long sigh, as if he hadn't expected this outcome either, and said softly, "This time, my divination wasn't about the origin of this sandalwood box, or whether it had been altered by any being. What I was divining was the continuity and integrity of the sandalwood box itself."

Although His words were complicated, Shafa still understood them. After all, he himself was a master of divination and had once successfully discovered the hostility of the Bald father and son, as well as the existence of Pompeii and the Crimson Agent, through divination.

The so-called "continuity of the integrity of the sandalwood box itself" means, in layman's terms, whether the sandalwood box has always been kept in a complete state, and for how long.

Although this sandalwood box may have been created by a righteous god, and may have been moved by other righteous gods, if we only divine the "continuity of the integrity of the sandalwood box itself," we can perfectly avoid these pitfalls involving usurpation and blasphemy.

Because what is being occupied is not even the sandalwood box itself, nor its integrity, but merely the continuity of the sandalwood box's integrity.

This is equivalent to having three layers of protection, which not only avoids risks but also yields very accurate results.

If the duration of the "continuity of the integrity of the sandalwood box itself" is more than 30,000 years, then it can be confirmed that the sandalwood box, the metal nameplate made of pure white crystalline silver, and even the words on it are all genuine and have not been touched by anyone.

Because once someone touches it, the integrity of the sandalwood box will be damaged, and the continuity of its integrity will also be lost.

But now, this continuity has truly lasted for over 30,000 years.

"Descendant, to be honest, although I felt from the beginning that you were shrouded in mystery and enigma, even my [Secret of Eternity] couldn't be seen through through our bloodline connection. At most, I could only see that you had signed seven overlord-level secret contracts, and now—"

Gilgamesh let out a long sigh, then said, "I sincerely believe that you not only possess the same potential as Lord Absolute Defense and Lord Paradox Joker, but you may even be one of the most mysterious beings in this world, just like them."

Xia Fa also gave a wry smile: "Actually, Lord Paradox Clown also told me the same thing. At first, He said that He thought that I, He, and Lord Absolute Defense came from the same origin, but later He denied it. But now—I wonder what His reaction will be after He finds out about this."

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh was taken aback upon hearing this: "You've communicated with Lord Paradox Joker? When did that happen?"

Xia Fa didn't try to hide anything: "It was after that family secret realm that I tried to pray to the Paradox Clown in order to save my great-grandfather, and he responded to me. It seems that it was because of that prayer that we established a channel of spiritual intuitive communication, and later He would talk to me through spiritual intuition from time to time."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Gilgamesh's eyes widened even more, as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world: "What did you say? Lord Paradox Clown actually seeks you out from time to time through spiritual intuition? My God, no, my Lord—"

Xia Fa asked in surprise, "Is that so strange?"

Gilgamesh sighed, a sigh filled with deep envy, even a hint of jealousy—not jealousy of his own descendants, but jealousy of the relationship between his descendants and Lord Paradox: "To tell you the truth, let alone the third ten thousand years of this universe, even in the first two ten thousand years of the universe when the nine righteous gods walked on earth, it was completely impossible for us, Lord Paradox's subordinates and confidants, to even see Him and have a chat with Him."

He paused, then added, "Actually, the nine Great Gods are all particularly—well—how should I put it, in the words of you young people, they're particularly aloof. Perhaps only those Celestial Venerables and those with Celestial Venerable-level physical forms are qualified to gain the favor of the nine Great Gods. But I never expected that Lord [Paradox Clown] would actually take the initiative to seek you out once—"

Xia Fa coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, actually, more than once—"

Gilgamesh's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "More than once? You're not telling me you often chat in your spiritual intuition, are you?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment and confirmed, "More or less. If it weren't for that bastard Alm Giantbow causing trouble this time, which kept Lord Paradox Joker away, we might be able to ask Him to judge the problem with this sandalwood box right now."

Gilgamesh was so envious he didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but recall how he had risked his life to perform many great deeds for the Church of Paradox, and finally had the opportunity to prostrate himself at the feet of the Clown of Paradox and kiss the tip of his shoe. He was proud of this for a long time and bragged about it to his friends everywhere.

And now—

"Descendant, I am fairly certain that your origins are extraordinary, otherwise Lord Paradox Clown would not value you so highly. However, I am indeed limited in my abilities regarding your background and cannot figure it out."

As Gilgamesh spoke, he looked towards the sandalwood box.

"But since this sandalwood box from more than 30,000 years ago was left for you, perhaps you could try opening it."

Xia Fa had the same thought. He was extremely curious about what was inside. Even the pure white, light-chasing silver was only fit to be the nameplate on this sandalwood box, so what kind of god-level secret did it contain?

So he slowly nodded to his ancestor, and then walked step by step, solemnly and respectfully, toward the sandalwood box on the altar.
