Chapter 319 Shafa's Journey to the Gilgamesh Family, The Mysterious Emperor? The Divine Spirit!

Chapter 319 Shafa's Journey Through the Gilgamesh Family, The Mysterious Emperor? The Divine Holy Spirit! (Part 2)

The hall, built of gray-white rocks, exudes a rough and ancient style, with various heroic epics carved on each rock.

This hall is clearly ancient, as if it was built at the very beginning of time. At the deepest part, there is a throne carved from a single giant rock, covered in dust, indicating that no one has sat on it for a long time.

This is the ancestral palace of Gilgamesh, a family estate that is only used when a new patriarch ascends the throne.

This ancestral palace is extremely vast, large enough to accommodate a million people, and is magnificent and spectacular.

The grayish-white rock used to build the ancestral palace was not an ordinary stone, but an extremely rare and expensive material called "Huibaise Rock," which was somewhere between an extraordinary metal and an extraordinary stone.

As for its effects, there is only one: it has the same effect as Shadow Gold in preventing occupation and peeping.

As for the heroic epics carved on those gray-white rocks, they also contain hidden magical loops that connect all the Huibaishe rocks into a whole. It is said that they were once personally blessed by the god of paradox, the Clown of Paradoxes, so that even other gods cannot see what is happening in the hall.

Of course, this excludes [First History] and [Absolute Defense].

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of members of the Gilgamesh family were waiting inside the ancestral palace with blank expressions.

Some remained silent, some whispered among themselves, and others were filled with unease, all unaware of what had happened.

Just over an hour ago, Solrock, the young lord of the Gilgamesh family, personally rang the bronze bell outside the ancestral palace.

The bronze bell outside the ancestral palace is not something that can be easily rung. Once it is rung, it either signifies a matter of life and death for the family, or a change of the family head.

Even when the current patriarch, Sharatu, was seriously injured and unconscious a few days ago, no one bothered to ring the ancestral temple's bronze bell.

But now, the bronze bell has been struck.

Therefore, in just over an hour, the family members of Gilgamesh gathered at the ancestral palace by either using ritual teleportation arrays or simply by flying.

Even family members from other inhabited planets not far from Gilgamesh rushed here.

Everyone sensed that something big was about to happen, but no one knew what it was.

despair!despair!despair!

Just then, the sound of unhurried footsteps echoed outside the empty and silent ancestral palace.

Inside the ancestral palace, the slightly noisy discussions suddenly ceased and became quiet.

Many family members hunched over and shrugged, secretly peering toward the ancestral palace's towering gate.

Immediately, the expressions of many family members changed, becoming respectful and cautious, some even so fearful that they dared not breathe.

The reason was that the person who walked in was none other than Folnir, the acting head of the Gilgamesh family!

Although the Gilgamesh family possesses the noblest bloodline in the entire universe, and its members are most likely to sign a supreme-level secret contract, after 30,000 years of development and expansion, it is inevitable that some of their descendants will be unable to sign such a contract.

Even among those who can sign secret pacts, few can become demigods due to the dilution of their bloodline.

Among these hundreds of thousands of family members, there are none who cannot sign the secret contract, but those below the level of demigod make up the majority.

Therefore, even on Gilgamesh, family members with the angelic rank have extremely high status, and those who reach the ruler rank can become the governor of a region or a city!

As for the extraordinary monarchs—they are the elite among the elite of the family, prominent figures respected wherever they go. Therefore, when someone like Folnir, who had signed twenty-five secret contracts and almost became an extraordinary monarch, appeared, one can imagine the awe felt by these hundreds of thousands of family members.

For the vast majority of family members, that was practically no different from being a god.

Unexpectedly, Forniel, who was usually stern and ruthless, was now unusually calm, like an enlightened being who had accepted his fate.

Behind him followed a large number of the family elders, the lowest of whom were all extraordinary monarchs, whose status and position on Gilgamesh were extremely prominent.

At this moment, Folnir was walking toward the throne in the ancestral palace, which no one had sat on for over a thousand years. His expression was quite devout, and although there was a hint of resentment, he seemed to have accepted something with equanimity.

Upon seeing this, hundreds of thousands of family members were astonished and began to speculate.

Could it be that the patriarch, Sharatu, finally succumbed to his injuries and passed away, and Forniel became the patriarch instead of the acting patriarch?

Or perhaps, Folnir finally couldn't suppress his ambition and couldn't wait to take over as head of the family before Sharatul was awakened?

The conflict between Folnir and Shalatu is a well-known secret on Gilgamesh, but since it happened thousands of years ago, it has almost become a legend and history.

In other words, although people may talk about it and tell their own children, they don't really think about it much.

But now, the legends and history are about to reappear before our eyes.

If Fernir wasn't going to become the head of the family, then why ring the ancestral temple bell?

Many people thought this way, which further confirmed their guess.

Unexpectedly, the ambitious young master Sol Loki actually yielded to Folnir, the acting head of the family—many family angels, rulers, and extraordinary monarchs present who were qualified to know about this matter sighed inwardly.

But suddenly, something unexpected happened.

Upon reaching the throne, Forlir did not hesitate for a moment and immediately stood to the left of the throne.

The elders following behind Him stood respectfully to the left front of the throne.

What's going on here?

All the family members present, whether they were just little kids at the Bacterium level or elders who had reached the Dominator level, were astonished.

What is Folnir trying to do? Why doesn't he sit on the throne, but instead stands to the left of it?

despair!despair!despair!

At that moment, footsteps sounded again outside the silent ancestral palace.

The footsteps sounded extremely light, carrying a cheerful mood, as they stepped into the ancestral palace.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Thor Loki, the young master of the Gilgamesh family!

Thor Loki, also a transcendental monarch who signed twenty-five secret pacts, is much more famous and prestigious on Gilgamesh because of his youth.

After all, given the potential and talent that Thor Loki has shown, it's a certainty that he will become a Highlord in the future. In other words, he has almost secured a place among the strongest members of the Gilgamesh family.

Therefore, on Gilgamesh, not only did no one dare to offend him, but everyone tried to curry favor with him or even wanted to join his cause.

At this moment, behind Sol Loki followed the other half of the family elders, including Amphion, all with devout expressions as they walked slowly forward.

After entering the ancestral palace, Solrock did not greet Folnir with the etiquette due to nobles from afar, but instead went directly to the throne.

Seeing this, the hundreds of thousands of family members present became restless again.

Since Fulnir did not ascend the throne, but the ancestral palace bells were rung, it means that the one who truly became the head of the family is Thorloki.

Folnir has finally been defeated by Sol Loki and willingly submitted to the sleeve.

The members of the Gilgamesh family had little objection to Thorloki becoming the head of the family, since he was already the young master and it was normal for him to become the head of the family.

As Thor Loki walked step by step toward the throne, his expression relaxed and lively, for some reason, most of the family members present felt inexplicably tense and excited.

The birth of a new head of the family is a momentous event throughout the universe, after all, the Gilgamesh family—

They are a family favored by the gods!

One of the three divinely favored families!

However, just as Thor Loki was about to reach the throne, something unexpected happened to everyone present.

Without hesitation, Thor Loki turned and stood to the right of the throne.

Following closely behind, the clan elders lined up in a row and stood respectfully to the right front of the throne.

In this way, a row of clan elders stood to the left and right front of the throne, looking just like the ministers in a royal palace in the mortal world.

As for Folnir and Solrocki, standing on the left and right of the throne, they resembled a prime minister and a marshal.

However, precisely because of this, the hundreds of thousands of family members within the ancestral palace were filled with doubt and curiosity.

The ancestral temple's bronze bell was rung, and the family wasn't facing a life-or-death crisis, which meant that this must involve a once-in-a-millennium event like the change of the family head.

However, neither Folnir nor Thorloki, the only two people qualified to serve in the family, sat on the throne, even though they had both entered the ancestral palace.

So, who is the head of the family?

Just as everyone was speculating, whoosh—

Someone blew the dust off the throne, and then ran their fingertips across the rough stone surface of the throne.

Of the hundreds of thousands of Gilgamesh family members, the first to realize what was happening were naturally the extraordinary monarchs, and then the others realized what had occurred.

A young man, a tall and strong young man with a handsome face like an ancient Greek sculpture, actually appeared before the throne!

Among the hundreds of thousands of people present, including the extraordinary monarchs, not a single person noticed how he appeared!

Most importantly, this young man actually dared to touch the throne of the Gilgamesh family's ancestral palace, which represents the supreme ancient throne!

The crowd was about to erupt into chaos when, at that moment, the young man did something that no one expected.

He simply brushed the dust off the throne, then casually turned around and sat down!

Who is this young man, that he is so audacious?

Some of the less quick-witted family members thought this way, while others with a bit more intelligence had a flash in their eyes and realized something.

However, precisely because of this, some of these people found it hard to believe.

Unless, of course, things truly come to a head.

However, at that very moment, Folnir and Solrocki moved at the same time.

These two—one the acting head of the family, the other the young master—suddenly appeared a few meters in front of the throne.

At this moment, the tall and handsome young man was already sitting on the throne with an air of grandeur, his hands casually placed on the armrests, his gaze looking down.

This young man clearly didn't even have the aura of a demigod, yet he was so composed and calm, as if he were born with the demeanor of a king.

The next moment, Folnir and Thorloki both knelt down on one knee in front of the young man!

"Folnir".

"Sorloki".

The two spoke in unison, "Greetings, Head of the Family!"

Following closely behind, hundreds of clan elders, arranged in two rows on the left and right, also faced the young man and knelt down on both knees.

"We wait—"

"—Greetings, Master of the Clan!"

Silence, a silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

After a brief silence, the ancestral palace erupted in a roar of excitement!

"What's going on?"

"Am I seeing things? Who is this young man? He's quite handsome, but he's not even a demigod. How did he become the head of the family?"

"Are you stupid? He must have some special sealing artifact or secret treasure to conceal his aura. Didn't you see that the acting patriarch and the young master both knelt down before him?"

"Hiss—to be able to subdue both the acting family head and the young master at the same time, this young man's methods are quite impressive—"

"It seems that this really is the new head of our Gilgamesh family. To be honest, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Lord Sharatul."

"Indeed, and even more handsome than Hermes the Jester and Thor Loki!"

"No, does nobody know this young man's background? Although he does look like someone from our Gilgamesh family, how did he become the head of the family like this? This doesn't seem right."

"What's wrong? Fernil and Thorloki have both submitted to him, and the elders have too. What, you want to go up and challenge him?"

There has always been an unwritten rule within the Gilgamesh family, or rather, among the three great divine families in the real world.

That is, whoever is the strongest becomes the young master, and whoever is the strongest becomes the head of the family!

In this situation, regardless of how this young man managed to subdue Fernir and Thorloki, as long as he is a member of the Gilgamesh family and is stronger than the current acting head and young master, it is only natural for him to become the head of the family.

"Gentlemen."

Just then, Xia Fa spoke from the throne.

As the new head of the Gilgamesh family, even though hundreds of thousands of family members did not know him, his authority as the head of the family was immense. As soon as he spoke, the ancestral palace, which had been in an uproar, immediately fell silent.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes were on him, waiting for him to give orders.

Seeing this, Xia Fa nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Fa. Some of you may have already guessed it. That's right, I am from the Xia Latu lineage."

Upon hearing this, the doubts of many family members who had been harboring doubts began to dissipate.

To reiterate, whoever possesses the bloodline of the Gilgamesh family and is the strongest in the family in their generation deserves to sit on the throne!

Immediately afterwards, Xia Fa's voice rang out again.

"My great-grandfather is currently in a coma, so I will temporarily assume the position of head of the family to guard against any potential powerful enemies or crises."

Upon hearing this, everyone completely dispelled their last remaining doubts.

After all, according to this young man named "Shafa," he was capable of dealing with "any" powerful enemies and crises that might arise in the family after Lord Shalatu fell into a coma.

Furthermore, given that he is a member of the Gilgamesh family, his confidence alone makes his strength and position as the head of the family beyond question!

"Well, that's all I have to say. Actually, I don't really know how to handle family affairs. Therefore, when I'm not on Gilgamesh, Thorloki will be the acting head of the family, and Fulnir will be his deputy. Everyone can continue as usual."

After saying this, Xia Fa stood up from his throne.

"Alright, you can all go back to what you were doing."

Clearly, the new patriarch disliked flattery and was too lazy to deal with those who came to curry favor. Therefore, at the signal of the elders, hundreds of thousands of family members withdrew from the ancestral palace in an orderly manner.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces were incredibly fascinating. A completely unknown young man had suddenly appeared, subdued Fulnir and Thorloki, and become the new head of the Gilgamesh family—

This matter will probably spread throughout the entire universe in just a few days!

As the family members withdrew, the elders bid farewell to Xia Fa and also left the ancestral palace.

The vast ancestral palace was suddenly left with only Xia Fa, Folnir, and Thorloki.

"Alright, I've finished announcing everything. Now, take me to see my great-grandfather."

Xia Fa looked at the two of them. Although Folnir had been branded with a soul seal by Thor Loki, he was still a potential Grand Lord, and his current performance was quite good.

Therefore, he treated Fernier as an equal as much as possible.

Even from a more abstract perspective, since those branded with the soul seal can never betray their master—Folnir has become one of their own.

Of course, He probably still harbored a lot of resentment, but it was useless; He couldn't even do anything to harm Thor Loki.

Even the slightest thought of betrayal would be immediately detected by Thor and Loki. With a thought, he could detonate the soul bond, instantly killing or completely controlling the target.

"Alright, Master, I will take you to see Sharatu now."

Unexpectedly, before Solrocki could even speak, Fournir became quite attentive.

Judging from this situation, he seems more willing to be loyal to Shafa than to his master, Sol Loki.

Thor Loki didn't care at all. The reason he was able to become the young master was not only because his strength was unmatched among those under a hundred years old in the family, but also because he had a particularly large mind and was very tolerant of others.

Just as He wanted to hand over the position of young master to Shafa as soon as He learned that Shafa was the Emperor of the Mysteries, for Sol Loki, the development of his family was more important than anything else.

Therefore, even if Forniel preferred to be loyal to Shafa, he didn't care; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Seeing that he had reduced his opponent to a mere soul and even had Thor Loki implant a soul bond in him, Shafa felt somewhat embarrassed by Folnir's enthusiastic behavior.

Unexpectedly, Folnir then boldly spoke up: "Patriarch, since I've already had my soul imprinted by the young master, we should be considered as one of our own, right? This is the ancestral palace, so the news will never leak out. May I ask you a question?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize his mistake and quickly added, "Of course, you don't have to answer if you don't want to; that's fine with me."

Xia Fa asked curiously, "What's the problem?"

Folnier looked around nervously, as if trying to use his powerful spiritual intuition to see if anyone was still lurking in the ancestral palace. After confirming that no one was there, he lowered his head, leaned closer, and whispered.

"You're not some mysterious emperor at all, are you? The method that defeated me just now—wasn't it the secret ability from the third overlord-level secret pact you signed?"

Sol Loki then leaned closer, and upon hearing this, he was greatly astonished, as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world: "Shafa, is what Fornir said really true?"

Shafa then became interested: "Oh? Forniel, how did you figure that out?"

His words, while not explicitly denying it, were tantamount to confirmation.

Upon seeing this, Thor Loki was utterly shocked, but then he immediately remembered something and became overjoyed.

Folnir seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had made the right bet. He also said in a low voice, "Originally, I would never have been qualified to know this top-secret information unless I became a transcendental monarch. But by chance, I saw some images of it for a period of time when I was traveling in a strange place in the Protoss Realm."

"That was almost 1,200 years ago, when I had just left my family. That's why I didn't remember it for a moment. It wasn't until you defeated me that the relevant memories were suddenly triggered, and I remembered it completely."

"If I'm not mistaken, is the third hegemon-level secret contract you signed one of the three unknown types among the ten hegemon-level secret contracts?"

Xia Fa nodded slightly, a smile on his face: "Not bad."

Upon receiving confirmation, Forniel even showed excitement: "Hahaha, that's good! It seems I didn't follow the wrong person! The third Celestial Holy Spirit in 30,000 years, the Infant True God—the legendary Infant True God!"

Thor Loki's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously and ecstatically, "Shafa, you—you are truly the legendary Holy Spirit of Destiny?"

Xia Fa smiled faintly: "Well, but you two have to keep this a secret for now."

Thorloki nodded vigorously, then exhaled a long breath, looking extremely amazed: "My God, a living Holy Spirit of Destiny—our Gilgamesh family truly possesses the noblest bloodline!"

Forniel nodded in complete agreement: "Now let's see who dares to say that the nobility of our Gilgamesh family bloodline is undeserved!"

Xia Fa smiled and looked at Forniel, asking, "By the way, do you know what special title is given to those who can sign four or even five overlord-level secret contracts before becoming gods?"

Folnir has traveled throughout the universe and the Protoss realm for over a thousand years and is still alive and well, which shows that he has a wide range of knowledge. Therefore, Xia Fa asked him about it.

He really wanted to know what title he should have now that he had actually signed four overlord-level secret contracts, and what title he should have when he was about to sign five more.

Unexpectedly, Forniel shook his head blankly: "Master, I don't know about this. After all, in the past 30,000 years in the entire universe, only three Heavenly Saints have emerged. There shouldn't be any who could sign four overlord-level secret contracts before becoming a god. As for signing five overlord-level secret contracts, that's even more of a fantasy."

Thor Loki pondered, "I've never heard of such a title before. In the 30,000-year history of our extraordinary world, it seems there's never been anyone who could sign four overlord-level secret contracts before a god—that's too difficult."

Actually, yes, there is such a thing as "absolute defense," but there is indeed no one who can sign five overlord-level secret contracts.

Xia Fa thought this to himself, but of course he couldn't say it out loud.

Fernil and Solrock didn't think much of it, assuming that Shafa was just curious.

"By the way, Xia Fa, since you are the Holy Spirit of Destiny, then perhaps Grandpa has a chance to awaken."

Suddenly, Thorloki seemed to realize something, and his expression turned serious.

Folnir also hissed and pondered, "Master, now that Solloki mentioned it, I've remembered it too."

"Our ancestor, Gilgamesh, the Outer God in mythology, once set up a secret realm for our family, which only the chosen Holy Spirit among our descendants is qualified to enter."

"It is said that it contains several divine artifacts left by Him for His descendants, one of which is the Divine Blood Fruit, capable of healing any injury to a family member!"

The family's secret realm left behind by their ancestor, the Outer God Gilgamesh?

Is there something inside that can cure my great-grandfather?

Xia Fa's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where is this family's secret realm? Quick, take me there."
