Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 105 Exploring the Overlord-Level Secret Contract
Lying in bed with her head resting on a soft pillow, Xia Fa slowly closed her eyes, imagining her heart and spirit transforming into a luminous sphere.

Perhaps because he was becoming more and more familiar with the process, he entered the hazy mental body in the blink of an eye this time.

His luminous sphere rose and quickly arrived at the boundary between his mental body and his astral body.

The Etheric Source Pact, which originally occupied the central position at the boundary, was now squeezed into a corner, looking rather pitiful.

At the center, a secret text, layered upon layered, seems to form a cryptic agreement within a complex space, dominating the area.

It is... a supreme-level secret contract, the Silver Throne!
Xia Fa also observed that although the Etheric Source Secret Contract was squeezed into a corner by the Silver Throne, it was actually slowly rotating around the Silver Throne, seemingly trying to please it.

This made Xia Fa chuckle to himself. The Overlord-level Secret Contract truly lived up to its reputation as the Overlord among Secret Contracts; it could actually do this.

But he didn't think much of it and focused his gaze on the layers of secret text on the Silver Throne.

It has to be said that just one glance gave him the feeling that the glowing sphere he had transformed into was about to collapse.

It's complicated, it's just too complicated.

He even suspected that if someone else signed a second secret contract like him, which was also a hegemon-level secret contract, but didn't have his method of accelerating understanding by dissolving bee eggs, wouldn't they be stuck for decades or even centuries?

After all, even for an ordinary extraordinary person with average talent, it would take several years just to understand a simple secret contract!
For example, there was that young man in the church named Hervery, the one who retrieved the files for him.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Xia Fa focused intently and began searching for the Chinese characters on this overlord-level secret contract, one by one!
This is his exclusive method for improving his understanding of the secret code; no one else can use it.

As he continued reading the secret texts one by one, Xia Fa was suddenly overjoyed. Sure enough, he saw a Chinese character among the layers of secret texts.

It was the character "时" (time) that he had seen before in the Etheric Source Secret Contract.

"Could it be that……"

Xia Fa's heart stirred. He had originally thought that he would see new Chinese characters, or even new poems or articles composed of new Chinese characters, on the overlord-level secret contract.

But now it seems that's not the case...

He immediately began browsing and searching, and soon found the second Chinese character, which was indeed the character “漏”.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...

This took a lot of time, but hard work pays off. After reading through all the secret texts, which were a hundred times more numerous than those in the advanced secret contracts, Xia Fa composed a poem.

The same poem as the one in the Etheric Source Secret Pact.

"Shi Lou whispered advice to its paws."

"What appears in the sunlight is a huge, gray mountain range."

"Turning around majestically between heaven and earth."

"The scorching charcoal dried the eye sockets, and the red-hot iron coagulated the blood."

"A wailing heart, a gluttonous silence, a mocking lament."

This……

Xia Fa admitted that he was genuinely surprised.

The first time, it wasn't that he couldn't understand the poem, but rather that he didn't think carefully about its meaning and implications.

But now it seems that this poem is clearly describing a certain "being".

But the key point is... this is a secret agreement originating from the very source of the universe!

Why is it that both high-level secret contracts and overlord-level secret contracts have the exact same poems?
Moreover, these poems are even composed of Chinese characters?

If these poems truly record a certain "being," then how terrifying must this "being" be to be recorded and described by almost all secret texts?
If it weren't for the fact that the secret contract only reveals its true content at the boundary between the mental body and the astral body after being signed, Xia Fazhen would have liked to use the other ordinary and advanced secret contracts he currently possessed to verify them. But unfortunately, without a signed contract, the cryptic text on the secret contract is not genuine, and it doesn't even contain any Chinese characters.

Otherwise, he should have discovered it the first time he faced the ethereal secret code on that white bone fragment.

Recalling his previous experience of trying to write cryptic text in Chinese characters, Xia Fa stopped himself from further exploring the poem and the "existence" it might describe.

He was truly afraid that some unknown terror might suddenly descend upon him, in which case he would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, after finding all the Chinese characters on the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract, Xia Fa clearly felt that his comprehension progress had reached one percent!

That's right, only one percent, and even Xia Fa was somewhat surprised that it could reach one percent.

After all, the number of secret texts in a hegemon-level secret contract is a hundred times that of a high-level secret contract!
When he was trying to understand the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source, his comprehension progress increased by 20% after identifying all the Chinese characters.

Based on this calculation, the maximum increase should have been 0.2%, but unexpectedly it increased by 1%, which is a pleasant surprise.

Xia Fa steadied himself, forcing himself not to think about the poem, and instead looked at the first cryptex of the Silver Throne.

He clearly felt that the extraordinary power he had gained from dissolving the bee eggs was being rapidly mobilized and concentrated in his brain once again.

The pace of understanding is starting to accelerate.

Two percent...five percent...eight percent...

Soon, the massive amount of extraordinary power within his body was completely consumed, and Xia Fa's comprehension progress reached seventeen percent.

"Just three percent away, it seems like I'll be able to acquire another secret ability of the Silver Throne..."

Xia Fa's anticipation grew stronger. Fortunately, the Poisonous Patriarch Veronica had planted another bee egg on him. Now, he only needed to wait three days to significantly improve his comprehension progress once again.

At that time, I will definitely be able to master a new Silver Throne Secret Contract ability!
"By the way, if I dissolve the new bee eggs in three days, will the Poison Queen be enraged? Although she won't kill me because of some 'rule,' I'm afraid she'll never plant bee eggs on me again..."

Xia Fa became somewhat worried, for the first time so desperately hoping that an entity would continue to pay attention to him.

He began to ponder how to get the Poisonous Chieftain to implant a third or even more bee eggs into his body.

As I pondered, my thoughts drifted further and further away.

Slowly, Xia Fa drifted off to sleep.

……

This morning in Rum City is quite unusual.

Fog, an endless fog, descended upon the entire city of Rum.

People going out in the morning are shrouded in thick fog and can hardly see anything more than three meters away.

But everyone was joyful, happy, and even very welcoming of the arrival of this fog.

Besides the residents of Rum, tourists from Augustus and many other places who had come in the past few days also opened the doors of their hotels and inns, eagerly anticipating the fog.

The Fog Carnival, a festival held once every five years in the Wright Starfield, is now the turn of Rum City, Brandy City, and Riverwind City!

The three small towns were almost packed with people, waiting for the moment when the fog would be thickest.

Xia Fa was almost awakened by the enthusiastic discussion of the people. As soon as he woke up, he saw a thick fog that covered almost everything outside the window.

It was at this moment that something truly incredible happened...
