Chapter 483: Chapter 376: The Absolute First!
Shen Hao could feel a kind of elusive yet uniquely intense gaze fixing on him.
Merely a gaze seemed to possess a special Law Power.
Clearly, such Innate God Spirits were not made of flesh and blood, rather, calling them manifestations of laws was more fitting.
“How is it?” Shen Hao asked calmly, unconcerned with the other’s actions; newly recruited Contractors often required some adaptation.
“I cannot find your death,” the Death God girl slowly said in a clear, childlike voice, void of any bass quality, and even tinged with a bit of joy.
“Is it a good thing for you, not finding my death?” Shen Hao was slightly curious.
“Death is my servant, my Favoured, not the other way around,” the Death God girl nodded with a light laugh, “I like being around those who I cannot see death in.”
Her eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight as she spoke the last sentence.
Coupled with her childlike tone, she seemed even more like a child.
These few sentences helped Shen Hao understand her more.
She was likely a being who, over long years, had lost most of her interest in ordinary affairs and now yearned only for the extraordinary; to her, Civilization Trial seemed more like a paradise.
“This is not your world, it’s not good to keep calling you ‘Death God.’ Do you have another name?” Shen Hao asked.
“I have many names.”
“Choose a simpler one.”
“Just call me Sally.”
“All right, Sally, you should now try to learn about our civilization, but remember—” Shen Hao’s tone turned stern, “I do not want to see you causing any destruction, especially to sentient beings!”
With a slight reveal of aura, Sally visibly shrank her neck.
“Okay, Father God.”
“…” Shen Hao’s expression turned somewhat strange.
He could understand the origin of such a designation; after all, compared to those who only control the Death Law, the title “Father God” was quite normal for someone possessing the Talent to dominate the entire Universe.
However, it was somewhat strange coming from someone appearing to be just over ten years old.
But, Shen Hao did not correct her; for these Contractors, he still needed to establish his authority.
Father God it would be, then.
“Go and have fun,” Shen Hao also noticed a trace of slyness in Sally’s eyes, but this signified that she had a mature personal identity rather than merely being an embodiment of Law Consciousness, which was a good thing.
Once Sally had left, Shen Hao collected other rewards.
The Ancient God Guardian was indeed too massive—even when coiled up, it was almost as big as the initial size of the Human Civilization Mother Star floating in outer space, enough to be treated as a planet.
However, such Extraordinary Creatures could be scaled down.
On Shen Hao’s command, it shrank to the size of a mountain, standing like a sculptural guard outside the gates of Lingxiao Palace, adding further majesty to this palace.
With Sally’s presence, Human Civilization now boasted the power of three Sixth Stage combatants, and they were not ordinary Sixth Stagers but top-tier foundational strengths, significantly bolstering in an instant.
Concerning others, Shen Hao was most concerned about the Mythical Secret Realm.
As expected, when the existence of the Mythical Secret Realm became public, the entire civilization boiled over with excitement.
“Myth becoming reality! Are myths descending?”
“Jade Emperor, Three Pure Tao Ancestors!”
“Am I the only one who wants to see Lady Bai?”
“When can the secret realm be opened, I can’t wait any longer!”
“Mother! Can I get a wife from the myths?”
“…”
It was no wonder these people were so excited.
For Primordial Humans, the planet had already seen many things once only imaginable in fantasy.
Cat-eared girls, Centaurs, Elves, even the Mystical Emperor…
But how could these compare with the well-known figures of myths?
In essence, myth is the embodiment of civilization’s desires and aspirations!
It represents the fantasies ingrained in a culture!
At this moment, Shen Hao was also observing the changes within the Mythical Secret Realm.
As the Controller of civilization, he gradually possessed strong control over the laws of the Mother Planet and often observed from a higher status perspective.
Thus, he could clearly see that the Mythical Secret Realm actually consisted of various small secret realms appearing continuously.
And they were only some lower-level stories.
For example, the tale of the Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains.
Although it involved the Heavenly Court and even the children of the Great Strength God Kua E Family, at its core, it was still a story occurring in the Mortal World.
However, such a secret realm was closest to actual myth.
To transform into a giant and move a mountain, one would need at least Third Stage power, and the sons of the Great Strength God Kua E Family in the secret realm, in Shen Hao’s view, had about Fourth Stage Beginner power.
This meant that the Great Strength God could very likely have reached the Fourth Stage, or even the Fifth Stage!
“Comparing like this, those peak figures in the myths, at least have Seventh Stage power,” Shen Hao realized; the Mythical Secret Realm was a manifestation based on his own foundational Level.
This implies, characters with strong abilities, if they do not want their power to mismatch their mythical status, had better not make an early appearance.
