Chapter 397 The God-level Secret Hidden in Xia Fa's Family Has Finally Been Obtained—And It's Actually This? (Part 2)
The third level of the inverted pyramid is completely different from the first two levels.
Whether it's the first or second floor, all you see are gray brick walls, lacquerware in the corners, and patterns or murals of spirits on the walls and dome.
The third level, however, is more like a leisurely pastoral scene, with lush green grass and a straight river flowing down its banks. Beside the river are wheat fields, the wheat ripening and shimmering with golden light.
Even more outrageous is the miniature sun at the top of the dome, which is clearly a plasma aggregate that the Celestial Venerable extracted from some star and forcibly stabilized by divine means, shining here for tens of thousands of years.
It seems that someone has always lived on the third level of this inverted pyramid, the person in the hut, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, far away from the strife and noise of the outside world.
Normally, all of this wouldn't have surprised the well-informed Xia Fa and Gilgamesh, but then they saw the person in the hut.
She was a petite girl with delicate features, wearing a blue and white bubble dress, pouring herself tea, with a strawberry cake next to her.
What's most striking about her is her platinum blonde curly hair, paired with her ethereal platinum blonde eyes, which makes her look quite noble and mysterious, like a noble lady who has come to the countryside for a summer vacation.
But none of that is the key point. The real key point is—
"Ove? Fulfurion?"
"【Star Messenger】?"
At this moment, both Xia Fa and Gilgamesh were dumbfounded, each muttering a name.
Oh no, there are two of them in Xiafa, because—this mysterious girl with platinum blonde curly hair looks exactly like Off and Fufreio!
But immediately, the grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance, their eyes widening simultaneously, and exclaimed in unison, "You know her too?"
Gilgamesh was the first to calm down and said, "The Radiant Star Envoy was a very famous quasi-Celestial Venerable in our era. She had countless suitors, but none of them could truly catch her eye. She was impressive in both beauty and strength. However, she mysteriously disappeared more than ten thousand years ago."
After a pause, Gilgamesh added, "Oh, by the way, the Star Messenger's hair and eyes are the color of the starry sky, which is a little different from this girl's, but they look so alike—"
Xia Fa understood that the era of his ancestors was actually shortly after the birth of extraordinary beings, which was more than 30,000 years ago.
However, unlike the era when the Nine Great Gods emerged, the era of the Ancestor was a little later. Specifically, when the Ancestor was born, the Nine Great Gods had already turned against and besieged the Old Ones, and the universe had already become prosperous.
However, precisely because of this, Xia Fa's surprise and curiosity rose even higher, almost uncontrollably.
He once suspected that Princess Fou-Frio was Orph when he first saw her true face. Later, he even witnessed Princess Fou-Frio transform back into Orph after her incomplete body fell off the mysterious treasure "Dancing King Mask".
At that time, not only did her personality change drastically, transforming from the aloofness of the Shark Princess to the haughtiness of Orph, but even her hair and eye color changed back from burgundy to seaweed color.
Later, Xia Fa speculated that the true soul of the Shark Princess might be hidden in the "Dancing King Mask," and whoever wore the Dancing King Mask would be the Shark Princess. However, this speculation had obvious problems.
Because the King of Dance Mask itself does not have the ability to change a person's appearance, while the Shark Princess has been active in the Baron Ocean for hundreds of years and has always appeared in that form.
In other words, if she had taken off her mask hundreds of years ago, she might have been able to turn back into Off, but Off was only born a little over twenty years ago.
Considering that both Ofo and Furfio were friends, Shafa didn't delve any further into their secrets. But now—
Looking at the girl who looked exactly like Off and Fufreio, and considering that this place was the third level of the inverted pyramid, it was hard for Shafa not to have any suspicions.
At this moment, the two observed quietly, both wanting to see if the girl would show any unusual behavior next.
Even before entering the third level of the inverted pyramid, Gilgamesh had used the Secret of Eternity to make them invisible, so even if they stood not far from the hut, they were not afraid of being seen by the girl.
"Ancestor, have you discovered it?"
"Hmm, it seems you've noticed too."
"She—is she just a mortal?"
"Yes, that's interesting—"
Soon, as his spiritual intuition reached out and then receded, Xia Fa discovered this astonishing fact.
This girl, who looks exactly like Auf except for her platinum blonde hair and eyes, is not a superhuman at all; there isn't even the slightest fluctuation of superhuman power within her body!
Now, the two, who were not planning to show themselves anyway, were even more determined not to disturb her.
In this extraordinary world full of mystery, if you encounter such an obviously bizarre existence, nothing will happen if you don't disturb it. But if you do disturb it—not to mention, this inverted pyramid is related to a celestial being. If something really happens, the two of you simply won't be able to withstand it.
"The entrance to the next floor is over there, shall we go straight there?"
Gilgamesh performed a brief divination and immediately gestured towards the stream. At the same time, he very respectfully inquired about Shafa's opinion, a stark contrast to his previous attitude of directly dragging Shafa to compete for the secret treasure.
Xia Fa nodded slightly: "Yes, I think so too. It's better to go directly there."
While the grandmother and granddaughter were talking, the girl had finished her tea and was picking up a spoon to eat the tiramisu cake little by little. The cake was covered with a thin layer of chocolate powder and filled with jam and cream, and it looked quite exquisite.
The girl hummed a song as she ate, appearing so content and at ease, as if she felt no loneliness living alone there.
Xia Fa gave her a deep look, then followed his ancestor and flew towards the small river.
One was a god, and the other was an external god; they could easily dive into the river without causing the slightest ripple.
However, as soon as they sneaked inside, they were both stunned.
What they found at the bottom of the river was a completely different scene; to be precise, this seemed to be the true "test" of the third level of the inverted pyramid.
The riverbed, covered with silt, has four battle platforms, each emitting a shimmering glow and separated from the river water.
Xia Fa immediately realized that if it weren't for the sudden attack by the [Gods' Nemesis], which caused the "Commentator" entity to malfunction and prevent the All Spirits Battle Tournament from continuing, the top eight from the second round of elimination matches would have directly arrived at this small river after entering the third level of the inverted pyramid.
Moreover, there's a high probability they won't be able to leave the river, meaning they won't even be able to see the fields and thatched cottages, or the girl in the thatched cottage who looks exactly like Fufreio.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xia Fa's mind, and he realized something, looking at his ancestor.
"Ancestor, do you know who the celestial being who created this inverted pyramid was?"
