Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 242 The Journey to Find the Strange Egg, An Unprecedented Fifteen-Colored Light!
Even though the gasps behind him fueled Xia Fa's curiosity to the extreme.

But he first spent money to buy the seven million gold pounds traveling whale with thick legs before turning around.

The first thing I saw was not anything else, but a soft, rainbow-like, or cotton candy-like, twelve-colored radiance.

The twelve-colored light gathered into the shape of clouds, floating in the air, one after another, making people feel as if they had entered a paradise. The entire dominant-level whale watching house was tinged with a lively and cheerful color.

"Someone has discovered the twelve colors of light..."

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened, and he finally understood why so many people had been amazed just now.

Twelve colors of light—that's something you only get to see once every few whale watching events!
After thinking about it, Xia Fa still went over.

Anyway, I've already bought the exotic traveling whale I wanted, so I might as well go and find out more information.

The twelve colors of light... the corresponding treasures start at nine million gold pounds, which could very well surpass the Rhine Sigh Fruit that I extracted myself.

Therefore, Xia Fa decided to first figure out the situation before figuring out how to regain the top spot.

As Xia Fa approached, many powerful superhumans present made way for him, allowing him to observe closely.

It wasn't out of fear of Xia Fa, after all, there were many rulers and extraordinary monarchs among the tourists. It was simply because Xia Fa's current strength and expertise in whale-hunting techniques deserved everyone's respect.

Of course, this only applies to this whale watching event.

After all, no matter how strong Xia Fa is, he is not a superhuman monarch. Once the whale watching competition is over, those superhuman monarchs will still only see Xia Fa as a young man like Tefaro, just a more outstanding one.

After successfully squeezing into the crowd, Xia Fa saw the real situation.

She was a noblewoman in her thirties, wearing a long, flowing dress. She was beautiful and elegant, like a ripe peach. At this moment, however, she was radiant and her hands were trembling with excitement.

Not far in front of her was a gray traveling whale covered in foul-smelling slime, its belly cut open, from which streaks of twelve-colored light were shooting out.

This exotic traveling whale embodies five images that are entirely consistent with the concept of "water": "water surface," "wave folds," "the eye of the ocean," "shark teeth," and "water wave tail."

In addition, the translucent mucus constantly seeping from the numerous pores on its skin makes it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that this is no ordinary creature.

In fact, it was indeed very expensive, costing a full 6.7 million gold pounds, only 300,000 gold pounds less than the traveling whale with muscular legs that Xiafa bought.

Xia Fa had been choosing other places in the Dominator-level whale watching houses before, and had never been here before, only seen it from afar.

Unexpectedly, this gray traveling whale was not only bought, but also yielded some really good stuff!

Twelve colors of light!

At this moment, not only was Xia Fa quite surprised,

Among the crowd, Nerva's expression was extremely gloomy.

Unlike Shafa, Nerva spent most of his time wandering around this area.

Moreover, Nerva hesitated and wavered many times over the gray traveling whale, but ultimately could not make up his mind to take action.

The reason is simple: this gray, exotic traveling whale, despite having five images that are completely similar to "water"—"water skin," "wavy folds," "water wave tail," "oceanic pupils," and "shark teeth"—is a masterpiece among masterpieces.

But its skin is gray.

In Nerva's eyes, this was the greatest disharmony, completely dragging down the imagery of "water".

Or perhaps this foreshadows that the good stuff inside this traveling whale's belly has long been obscured by a gray haze, as if it had sunk into gray mud, due to some unforeseen event.

There's a high probability that, like that traveling whale whose belly folds were full of leeches, it will only bring surprises but ultimately gain nothing.

However, even Nerva, who has been searching for whales for many years, has rarely encountered such a migratory whale with all five of its physical characteristics being so similar.

That's why He struggled with the decision for so long, but ultimately decided to give up.

Now, without a doubt, Nerva is filled with remorse.

Twelve colors of light... This foreshadows that the prize for this year's whale watching event will almost certainly go to this noblewoman from the Murfit family!
Just then, a very fat man squeezed out from the crowd, his expression even more excited than that of the noblewoman, his fat cheeks jiggling.

Xia Fa recognized him at a glance; it was none other than Murfit, the duke from the ancient alchemy kingdom whom he had met before in the fungus-level whale-watching house!
Murphy was visibly excited, his face flushed red with agitation, staring intently at the gray, slimy traveling whale whose belly had been ripped open, his eyes shining with an astonishing light.

"Second sister, you're incredibly lucky! I almost lost ten million gold pounds this time, and the best thing I got was a sealed artifact worth a little over two million. You, you!"

As Murphy spoke, he turned his head to look at the lady, a coquettish expression on his face.

Even though he looks almost fifty years old, he doesn't feel ashamed at all when he acts cute in front of his older sister in public.

"Second sister, please let me do it! Let me share in the good fortune! I'll help you find the treasure inside this traveling whale's belly!"

The noblewoman smiled indulgently.

"Murphy, why are you telling me this? You paid for all the money I spent on this whale watching event. Go ahead."

The onlookers, upon hearing this, showed no surprise whatsoever.

After all, everyone had heard of Lord Murphy, the lord of the ancient alchemical kingdom. Although he was just an angel and not even a ruler, he was very good at doing business.

With businesses spanning extraordinary medical care, secret contract acquisition, treasure crafting, bodyguard escort, and exploration of mysterious realms, among others, and even extending their operations to other inhabited planets, they are truly incredibly wealthy.

He appears honest and simple, even a bit naive, but that might explain why his business has grown so large.

After all, people would naturally prefer to work with someone like Lord Murphy, especially since he handles every deal exceptionally well, rather than someone who is cunning and calculating.
Upon receiving his second sister's consent, Duke Murphy was so excited he almost jumped for joy. He immediately turned around, half-squatted down, and reached his hands through the slime into the belly of the gray traveling whale, beginning to explore.

At that moment, everyone present, regardless of their identity, status, or strength, held their breath and waited for the outcome.

The twelve-colored light... whatever is extracted from it will be an absolute treasure!

It's even possible that it could attract another god, or even an outer god!
However, seeing that Patriarch Osius was always guarding the place, and it seemed that Pope Carrot was also there, people were not so afraid. Instead, they were even more looking forward to the treasures corresponding to the twelve colors of light.

Besides, even if we attract gods or other gods, they might not all be insane like the previous one. What if they are mentally sound? Then there's nothing to fear.

Xia Fa remained calm, simply wanting to broaden his horizons.

But just then, he felt a cold gaze directed at him from the crowd.

Xiafa turned his head and saw that it was Nerva.

At that moment, Nervana glanced at him with a hint of schadenfreude in her gray eyes.

The meaning is clear: the celebration of Xia Fa's prize being snatched away is about to happen.

It seems that even if Nerva himself did not win the prize, he did not want to see Shafa win it. Seeing that an amateur had such good luck and managed to extract the twelve colors of light, he was happy and pleased to see Shafa suffer a setback.

Xia Fa shook his head slightly, ignoring him.

Anyway, this is a whale watching event, so we can't make a move. But if he encounters Nerva at sea later... then we might really have to use this sovereign's sacrificial knife.

At this moment, under the spotlight of everyone, Lord Murphy finally ushered in his own moment of glory at this whale watching event.

He was practically glued to the gray traveling whale, which was about the size of a carriage, and despite his fat face being covered in foul-smelling slime, he kept rummaging around inside the whale's belly with his hands.

Many people even suspect that the reason why Lord Murphy's second sister was willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Him was probably related to the disgusting nature of the slime.

But Lord Murphy didn't mind. He was a great merchant, and what he cared about most was good luck and a bit of good fortune. He was happy to personally retrieve the rare treasures corresponding to the twelve colors of light from the belly of the traveling whale, no matter how dirty or tiring it was.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the joy on Lord Murphy's face froze for a moment, and then, extreme confusion appeared in his large, buffalo-like eyes.

It seems that even for a well-traveled and knowledgeable businessman like Him, who had tasted all sorts of fine things, there was something he couldn't understand at all.

Fortunately, He was only confused, not panicked or in pain, which meant that He had not been attacked by that thing and was not in danger for the time being.

With a sudden movement of his massive body, Lord Murphy used his waist to pull his shoulders and then yanked his arms out.

puff!

Amidst countless splattered slimes, He pulled out an oval-shaped object.

Just as the slime was about to approach the crowd, it suddenly evaporated out of thin air, and the evaporated water vapor rose into the circular stargates that appeared in the sky.

It seems that both the Overlord and the Extraordinary Monarch have taken action to prevent the slime from flying into the crowd.

Almost immediately, the circle formed by the crowded people suddenly shrank several sizes, and many people directly gathered around to watch closely, craning their necks to look at the oval-shaped object.

Then, many powerful figures with dominant positions also showed the same bewildered expression as Lord Murphy.

It's important to know that this situation is extremely rare.

After all, even the ancient fruit that Xia Fa dissected—the Rhine Sigh Fruit—could attract gods to approach the real world, and it was easily recognized by the important figures present.

But now, many important figures are unable to recognize what treasure Duke Murphy's second sister has dissected!
Within the large pool of foul-smelling slime on the ground lay an "egg" composed of countless transparent worms.

That's right, at first glance it looks like an egg, but it is actually made up of countless transparent worms that look like maggots. The transparent worms were originally quiet, but they started to slowly wriggle as if they came into contact with the air.

This means that both these strange, transparent worms and the egg... are still alive!

Lord Murphy had already stood up, wiped the sticky liquid from his face, and his golden-red cloak flashed, instantly making him clean and even giving off the scent of pine incense.

He took a couple of deep breaths, staring with considerable confusion at the egg made of a transparent worm on the ground, his brow furrowing slightly.
"What the hell is this thing? I just touched it a few times, and it almost drained all the extraordinary power in my body, and it also absorbed a lot of my spiritual power."

The director of the psychoanatomical hospital shook his head:
"I don't know. Even though I've dissected thousands of strange creatures, I've never seen anything like this before, and I can't even sense any aura similar to any of the strange creatures I've dissected."

The leader of the Trojan Horse hesitated and said:
"This strange egg... is somewhat like a creature like a traveling whale, possessing the aura of both mystical spirits and supernatural beings, but unlike them, this egg also carries a somewhat eerie connotation."

The deputy director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute had been deep in thought ever since he saw the egg. Now, perhaps inspired by the words of others, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"I see!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Him, even Xia Fa and Nerva couldn't help but look at Him.

But the deputy director shook his head again, a thoughtful look returning to his eyes:
"No, that's not it."

Everyone:...

If it weren't for his status as the deputy director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute, some people would probably have wanted to attack him.

Xia Fa became even more curious. Of course, he couldn't recognize what the egg made of transparent worms was. He could only tell that it was about the size of an ostrich egg, so he was even more eager to know the result.

At this moment, whispers and speculations arose from the crowd.

"Is this some kind of strange phenomenon, a supernatural being, or one of the various spirits of the Protoss realm?"

"Could it be an egg laid by an unknown entity...?"

"Impossible. If that were the case, it would have attracted that unknown entity long ago."

"This time, it didn't approach from any god or outer god either. How strange..."

"Do you think the gods of the Celestial Spirit Realm are tempted by every good treasure? Xia Fa's case is actually an exception. The current situation is more normal."

"Yes, and that doesn't mean this egg is inferior to the Rhine Sigh Fruit. After all, it's a treasure corresponding to the twelve colors of light, probably priceless."

"So, what exactly is this?"

"Sigh, fine, I'll admit it. These are actually eggs I laid yesterday. If no one objects, I'll take them with me."

"Get lost! I could say these were eggs laid by a weird creature I stumbled upon, but who would believe me?"

"No, buddy, you...you're even weird..."

"The weird thing I'm talking about is the fanatical, morbid school beauty."

"Oh, that's not surprising, that's not surprising, hahaha."

"To be honest, this egg should be laid by a supernatural creature I keep on my estate. That seems more reasonable, right? If no one has any objections, I'll take the egg back. Otherwise, my supernatural creature will be very anxious if it can't find the egg it just laid."

"Tell me first, what kind of supernatural creature could lay such an egg? Tell me, and I'll buy it and give it to you."

"Uh... this... that..."

"Hahaha, you've been exposed, haven't you? Such a clumsy lie."

"You not only exposed me, but you also humiliated me. Do you believe I'll have someone deal with you?"

Xiafa: ...

How come he never noticed before that these important people had such a great sense of humor?

Well, to be precise, they tried every trick in the book in order to take advantage of the chaos.

Seeing that no one could recognize the egg made of transparent worms, everyone's eyes finally turned to the few truly important people in the tourist area.

Those were Arthur, the Speaker of the Myriad Machines School, who had already returned to the tourist area; Nahoron, the Emperor of the Ancient Alchemy Kingdom, who had remained calmly seated throughout the tourist area; and Edison, the Director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute.

Of course, Fuzawa Ren, the head of the Gold Miners' Guild on Caligi Star in the Light Star Region, was also present.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, Arthur stroked his beard, a smile on his face, and first shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Emperor Nahorun remained unmoved, seemingly ignoring the pleading looks from the crowd.

But those who know Him know that this powerful and extraordinary monarch is also expressing his ignorance in this way.

However, as an emperor, he could not possibly admit his lack of knowledge in certain aspects of mysticism, so he had no choice but to ignore it.

As for Edison, the director of the Institute of Natural Disasters, he had taken out a large ancient book of occultism a few minutes earlier and had been flipping through it ever since.

He seemed oblivious to the gazes of the crowd, his mind completely focused on the ancient occult book. But just then, Edio suddenly raised his head, his face filled with excitement, and said:
"I know! I know!"

Everyone was taken aback, their curiosity piqued to the extreme.

But immediately, Edison's gaze seemed to pierce through the crowd, glancing at the egg made of transparent worms before lowering his head to compare it with the ancient book of mysticism. He scratched his graying, afro-like hair, his expression becoming puzzled again:

"No, no, that's not it..."

Everyone:...

Xiafa: ...

No wonder the deputy director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute is like this; it turns out he learned it from Director Edison!

However, Edios always acted like a mad scientist, and given his immense power, everyone had no choice but to accept it and dared not complain.

Moreover, many people have realized that neither Edison nor the deputy director did it on purpose.

Fukuzawa Ren stood up at this moment, his face still bearing that warm and welcoming smile, but he sighed softly:
"It's true that each generation is worse than the last. Hundreds of years ago, anything dissected at our whale watching festival would not be unrecognizable like this."

As He spoke, He stepped forward and exclaimed:
"Forget it, I'll do it."

Although Fukuzawa Ren appears to be amicable, his actual strength is in no way inferior to Arthur and Edison, second only to Nahoron.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become the head of the Gold Miners' Guild on Caligi.

It's important to know that Calage is one of the most prosperous and life-bearing planets in the entire universe.
Even the two true gods, [Silver Universe] and [Nature Monarch], chose to establish their earthly divine kingdoms here.

In this situation, if Fukuzawa Ren didn't have some strength, could he hold his own against the Gold Miners' Guild?

Therefore, seeing that He said this, no one dared to get angry. However, Arthur and the others gave Him a rather strange look, as if they themselves had been insulted as well.

But compared to that, almost everyone present, including the influential figures in the tourist area, was more concerned about what this strange egg actually was.

It seems that only Fukuzawa Ren knows the answer.

Therefore, everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Him to speak.

Fukuzawa Ren stood a step away from the sofa in the tourist area, glancing at the egg made of transparent insects from afar, his face full of confidence.

Immediately, He spoke slowly, His tone unusually serious. "We humbly request Patriarch Osius to enlighten us, the humblest of learners!"

As he spoke, He suddenly clasped his hands together and pointed them towards the sky.

Xiafa: ...

Everyone:? ? ?
No way, you didn't even know after all that? Then what are you pretending for!

Lord Murphy almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had genuinely believed that Fu Zeren could tell him the origin of this thing, and had even hoped that he could sell it for a good price.

Surprisingly, even Fukuzawa Ren didn't know.

Fukuzawa Ren then smiled merrily and looked at everyone:

"I was just trying to lighten the mood so everyone wouldn't be too tense. After all, if Speaker Arthur, Director Edison, and Emperor Napoleon can't recognize him, how could I possibly?"

His words inadvertently flattered Arthur and his companions, thus mitigating the slight offense he had previously caused.

But at that very moment, an elderly figure dressed in a pure white robe embroidered with starry sky patterns slowly appeared in the sky.

In an instant, the entire palatial, top-class whale watching house fell silent.

Everyone immediately became so still that they dared not even breathe, not even the extraordinary monarchs.

Because... Patriarch Osius... has really appeared!

Patriarch Osius, with a solemn face and unsmiling expression, his brows conveying the majesty of a superior, glanced indifferently at the egg made of transparent worms.

Immediately, the patriarch of the Silver Church, who was second only to God, raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of surprise:
"It's actually an egg of the Silent Devouring Worm... Interesting, Murfit, you've got some good luck."

Because Lord Murphy donated large sums of money to both the Silver Church and the Natural Church every year, Patriarch Osius even remembered him.

Lord Murphy was immediately flattered, much like a child receiving praise from a teacher:

"Oh... Patriarch Osius! This... this is all thanks to you!"

He didn't dare ask Patriarch Osius what the egg of the Silent Devouring Worm was for, but he was already delighted.

Without a doubt, this egg... is a priceless treasure that money can't buy!
Patriarch Osius waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formality, and said calmly:
"No need for such formalities, and besides, you shouldn't be thanking me."

Having said that, Patriarch Osius glanced casually at the gate, then slowly disappeared into thin air.

boom--!
The next moment, the arched palace gate of the Dominator-level Whale Watching House was kicked open and shattered into countless metal pieces.

You know, this is to guard against possible robberies and attacks—after all, there are really many lawless and fearless superhuman bandit gangs in this lawless land, and each of them is exceptionally powerful.

Therefore, the door of this dominant-level whale watching house is made of two extremely expensive and costly extraordinary metals, Shadow Gold and Beryllium Copper, and is specially crafted by a ritual protection door by a master of ritual arrays.

It is said that this ritual protective gate can even withstand a combined attack from several extraordinary monarchs!
But now, it has been easily kicked to pieces.

Amidst the billowing dust, all that could be vaguely seen was a burly figure resembling an ancient warrior, standing at the entrance with his arms crossed.

In that instant, everyone was shocked. Fu Zeren, who was about to get angry, immediately calmed down. Sweat soaked his vest and his face turned pale.

Because everyone recognized that the person who came was—

The Mysterious Emperor, Dionysius!
Dionysius glanced coldly in the direction of the egg. With that one glance, many important figures immediately stepped aside, making way for him, and dared not even block his gaze.

Even those fearless rulers and extraordinary monarchs from lawless lands were eager to make way, afraid of being even a second too slow.

After Dionysius clearly saw the egg composed of countless transparent maggots, he nodded slightly and casually tossed it aside.

A black bag woven from shadow gold traced a graceful parabola through the air and landed precisely in Lord Murphy's arms.

"The eggs of the Silent Devouring Worm are mine. Here is 16 million gold pounds, plus one protection for your family."

Dionysius spoke in a cold, steely tone, full of domineering authority and leaving no room for negotiation.

Immediately, He casually grabbed the egg made of the transparent worm, which immediately rose into the air and flew into His palm.

He glanced again at the pale-faced, trembling Lord Murphy, and added:
"...only when your family faces a life-or-death crisis."

The next moment, Dionysius turned around, took a step, and disappeared after a moment of turbulence in the air, having already left the place.

Inside the dominant whale-watching room, there was a deathly silence, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, someone finally breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their brow.

Immediately following, a series of exhalations rang out, and the important figures finally relaxed.

It has to be said that Dionysius... brought too much pressure to everyone, even though He was only there to buy the egg of the Silent Devouring Worm.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lord Murphy suddenly realized something and was overjoyed. His face, which had been pale with fright, flushed red, as if he had been struck by an immense surprise.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Lord Dionysius just now—"

He stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, but the look of ecstasy on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

Many rulers and extraordinary monarchs also showed genuine envy upon seeing this.

The protection of a mysterious emperor... though only when the Murfit family faced a life-or-death crisis, and it was estimated to be limited to Duke Murfit's own family, not the royal family of the entire ancient alchemical kingdom.

But this is already a priceless promise; no amount of money can buy it!

Money... how could it possibly sway a secret emperor who has signed thirty secret contracts to make a move?

Moreover, many people suddenly realized that the "eternal certificate" in the Barron Ocean would soon be unveiled.
This was practically Dionysius, the mysterious emperor, in his pocket; no one dared to take it from him, nor did anyone have the power to do so.

If Dionysius were to embark on the path to godhood as a result, and truly become a god from a human being... then the Murphy family would be equivalent to receiving the protection of a god!

Even top-tier angel-level overlords like Tefaro, Casimir, and the newly arrived Jester... stared blankly at the broken arched gate, revealing expressions of longing.

This... is what a true powerhouse is!

This is what a man should do!

Of all those present, only Xia Fa maintained a remarkably calm expression.

"So this is the Secret Emperor...?"

Xia Fa had actually considered many plans to seize the Eternal Certificate from Dionysius, the Mysterious Emperor, but none of them were entirely satisfactory.

In particular, Dionysius was the Emperor of Mysteries who had signed thirty secret contracts, not just nine.

With the two great gods, the Silver Universe and the Nature Monarch, absent and the Outer Gods unable to approach the real world, Dionysius is arguably the strongest being on Caligia.

Of course, we must also exclude those infinitely mysterious and infinitely powerful entities, as well as some unknown beings similar to giant heavy cavalry, but these powerful beings are unlikely to come and steal the Eternal Certificate.

Therefore, Xia Fa understood that he needed to be extremely cautious and thorough in his plan before he could actually take action in half a month.

However, today, he witnessed the power and status of a mysterious emperor twice, which made all the important figures in the room feel breathless.

Xia Fa couldn't help but think, if even a Mystic Emperor who had signed two Overlord-level secret contracts was like this, what would happen if he, from a future Destiny Saint, became a true Destiny Saint...

Even more hegemonic secret agreements could be signed...

Just then, Fukuzawa Ren's loud laughter rang out, attempting to liven up the tense atmosphere:
"Hahahaha, since Lord Dionysius has purchased the egg of the Silent Devouring Worm for 16 million gold pounds, I hereby declare that the top spot in this year's Whale Watching Competition temporarily belongs to the Murfit family!"

Since the traveling whale was bought and dissected by Duke Murfit's second sister, and it was Duke Murfit himself who retrieved the egg of the Silent Devouring Worm from it,

Considering their blood ties, Fukuzawa Ren simply announced it in the name of their family.

Nerva chuckled sinisterly upon hearing this, but the somber look in his eyes became even more pronounced.

In this situation, although Shafa won't get the prize, Nerva himself won't get it either, and He certainly understands this.

Seeing that the number of exquisite exotic whales in the master-level whale watching room was decreasing with each cut, it would be impossible for Nerva not to feel anxious.

If an outsider were to steal the spotlight from this year's whale watching festival, it would be a disgrace to the ancient whale-hunting families, whether it be Xia Fa or Duke Mofit.

Xia Fa's heart also grew somewhat heavy. No matter what, he still really wanted to win the prize at this year's whale watching event.

That was a "Conditions Forever" overlord-level secret contract, and a "Dreamy Deep and Shallow Shadow Gold" the size of a lychee!

In terms of value, these two prizes together are worth at least thirty million gold pounds.

But more important than value is scarcity; once the whale watching event is over, there's nowhere else to buy them.

As for venturing deep into various eerie realms, ruins, and even mysterious forbidden zones, the probability of finding them is extremely small.

Therefore, Xia Fa was naturally unwilling to give up, especially in the period when the Eternal Token was about to be born in half a month, he was even more eager to improve his strength.

Once I become a god... at least in this extraordinary world filled with madness and danger, I will truly possess the power to protect myself.

She also has the ability to protect those she wants to protect, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Chestnut, her great-grandfather and cousin, and her sleeping parents...

Moreover, Xia Fa always had a strange premonition that after he became a god, he would not necessarily have to stay in the Protoss Realm, but could move freely in the real world.

Just as the nine righteous gods can reside in both the real world and the astral realm simultaneously without fear of polluting the real world like the gods and outer gods do.

Since he was able to continuously sign overlord-level secret contracts, he was walking a path that no one had ever walked before—signing ten overlord-level secret contracts and obtaining three kinds of eternal credentials to become a true god.
Add to that his own various secrets and peculiarities that even he himself couldn't fully understand... Xia Fa felt that he could really take a gamble and bet that after becoming a god, he could still operate in the real world without polluting it.

By then, let alone the Crimson Agents, even Dionysius, the Mysterious Emperor, and even the enemies of the Gilgamesh family... will be nothing to them.

After calming down and seeing that the farce was over, Xia Fa was about to walk back to the alien whale with thick legs that he had just bought and try to cut it open.

Since the money's already spent, whether it's a profit or a loss depends on that one cut.

Just then, in the tourist area, the director of the Disaster Research Institute, Edison, suddenly stood up excitedly, holding another ancient book of occultism.

No, it's less of an ancient occult book and more of a bizarre sealed artifact. The cover, forged from black iron, emits a twisted black aura, within which countless tiny vengeful spirits drift.

"We've found it! We've found it! It really is an egg of the Silent Devouring Worm!"

Although everyone knew the name of the egg made of transparent worms, they had no idea what it was for, especially since neither Patriarch Osius nor Lord Dionysius offered any explanation.

But ironically, it is priceless, worth a full sixteen million gold pounds, and it also carries Lord Dionysius's promise.

Therefore, when Edison found out, everyone looked over with great curiosity.

Of course, some people are secretly praying that Edison won't disappoint everyone again this time, otherwise some people might really want to punch someone.

Even Speaker Arthur and Emperor Napoleon turned their gazes toward Edison, waiting for him to begin his explanation.

Dressed in a scientist's white lab coat and sporting a head of thick, white, curly hair, Edison excitedly flipped through the sealed book and began to read it aloud:
"The Silent Devouring Insect is a strange creature that is born with the status of a sovereign, and also possesses the characteristics of a bizarre, supernatural, and mysterious spirit."

"The Silent Devouring Insects do not have adult or juvenile forms, but their strength increases infinitely with the number of swarms until they approach the level of a god."

"Of course, this kind of creature cannot truly become a god, after all, it cannot contain the certificate of eternity, but it seems to be able to sign secret contracts and overlord-level secret contracts."

"The Silent Devouring Worm possesses an extremely rare and powerful extraordinary talent called Desolate Devouring, which allows it to simultaneously draw extraordinary power from both the Protoss Realm and the real world, draining the equivalent of the extraordinary power of a nearly life-bearing planet in a single instance."

"Moreover, it is not a big burden to use, and it can be said to be endless, thereby driving other powerful attack methods."

"However, the spirit of the Silent Devouring Worm is very weak."

"Therefore, in history, some people have attempted to transplant their own mind and soul into the body of the Silent Devouring Worm."

"It's like replacing my body with a swarm of silent devouring worms, allowing me to freely use the incredibly powerful extraordinary talent of Desolation Devouring, and... I succeeded!"

"Of course, he was an extraordinary monarch who had signed the 'Star Spirit Lord' contract, and he himself had the ability to replace his body with the bodies of the Star Spirit Realm spirits."

"It is said that the extraordinary monarch became incomparably powerful as a result, and quickly conquered more than a dozen inhabited planets in the surrounding area in a short period of time."

"But in the end... He inevitably faced an uncontrollable end, and no one knows whether He is alive or dead, or where He went."

"On the other hand, if a transcendent monarch has signed the 'Primal Stomach,' they can also try to devour and absorb the Silent Devouring Worm, with a very small probability of obtaining its extremely powerful and rare transcendent talent of Desolate Devouring."

"It is said that if the signatory of the Primal Stomach devours the egg of the Silent Devouring Worm, the probability of obtaining the Wasteland Devouring will increase significantly."

Snapped!
Edison closed the sealed book emanating black mist, looked at everyone, and his cheeks flushed with genuine joy at having learned new knowledge and had his new questions answered.

"That's the situation. So, we can only wish Lord Dionysios success in absorbing the extraordinary talent of Desolate Devouring."

Everyone present suddenly realized why Lord Dionysius had returned so suddenly after he had already left.

Perhaps it was His "Primal Stomach" secret ability that sensed the appearance of the Silent Devouring Worm's egg?
When He kicked open that ritualistic protective door, it probably also contained a deterrent meaning, so that no one would dare to compete with Him for the eggs of the Silent Devouring Worm.

Xia Fa's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment.

"Desolation devours..."

It should be noted that even a mysterious emperor like Dionysius, who had signed thirty secret contracts, had times when he exhausted his extraordinary power.

For example, just now when I activated the sacred treasure [Pocket Universe].

If Dionysius were to successfully absorb the extraordinary talent of Desolation Devouring, gaining the terrifying ability to drain the extraordinary power of a life-bearing planet in one fell swoop, that would be a real problem.

Although the depleted supernatural power will be quickly replenished and will not have much impact on others, since supernatural power is everywhere, both in the real world and the Protoss Realm.

Just like when the air in one area is suddenly sucked out, air from other areas will immediately rush in.

However, for Dionysius himself, it undoubtedly... would greatly enhance His power!

Xia Fa could only secretly pray that Dionysius's absorption would fail, since it was a matter of probability.

As a strange creature born with the status of a ruler, the Silent Devouring Insect possesses extraordinary talents beyond just the Devouring Wasteland.

It's impossible that Dionysios would get the most desirable and rare extraordinary talent on his very first draw, right?

“I remember Dick Tudor mentioning to me that Dionysios signed two overlord-level secret contracts: the ‘Primordial Stomach’ and the ‘Forge of All Things’…”

Recalling the brass skeleton with more than a dozen arms covered in flesh and blood that Dionysius had summoned before, Shafa nodded slightly.

That should be the initial manifestation of Dionysius's combined use of the two overlord-level secret contracts, "Primordial Stomach" and "Forge of All Things," to create such a flesh-and-blood robot, which is probably the origin of his honorific title of "Flesh-and-Blood Machine God."

It's just unknown whether He will follow the path of Alexander the Great, who used machinery to modify himself, or the path of Avalon, who created a colossal mobile suit of armor.

After calming himself down, Xia Fa realized that now was not the time to think about this. The most important thing right now was to win the prize at this year's whale watching event, rapidly improve his strength, and advance his understanding of the "Mysterious Singularity," a top-tier secret contract.

Moreover, since there was no available occult knowledge to refer to, Xia Fa was quite curious and looking forward to what magical new secrets he could acquire.

He raised his head and looked at the exotic traveling whale in front of him, worth seven million gold pounds.

The blue whale, which resembled a blue whale with human legs, was still standing on its thick legs, supporting its massive, cruise ship-like body, its eyes closed, seemingly in a state of slumber.

"It all comes down to this one strike..."

Seeing that there were almost no better alien traveling whales left, Xia Fa gripped the whale-slicing knife made of sky-blue crystal in his hand, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

With a slight push, he knocked over the hundred-meter-long traveling whale with a loud bang. The whale remained in a dozing state, showing no signs of being awakened.

However, such a commotion certainly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Seeing that Xia Fa had actually bought the seven million gold pounds alien traveling whale, many people immediately became interested and gathered around.

Even Nerva couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to join the crowd and watch.

With his mind highly focused, Xia Fa stepped forward and plunged a knife into the belly of the alien traveling whale.

Whoosh—!
Fifteen colors of light—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—burst forth from the wounds around the blade before Xia Fa could even draw his sword from the hilt!
Almost everyone around stared wide-eyed, their pupils reflecting the fifteen-colored light that seemed to be the descent of a god!
